The three of them stared at each other, and none of them wanted to open their mouths to decide which one to take, for fear that they would complain after taking the wrong road, and the horse team in Heishui Village would have to set off in a day, and it would be too long to wait.

Just when the three of them were hesitating and hesitating, an old man picking medicine came out of the woods.

The old man who picks medicine has a long white beard hanging down on his chest, he looks not young, but he is not hunched at all, he has a childish face and walks like an old fairy.

It's so lucky to be able to meet a big living person in this ghost place where birds don't, Tianchu suddenly came to the spirit, and when he stepped forward, he saluted and asked, "Uncle, please ask you for a way." ”

The old man ignored Tianchu and walked straight to Yun Fei, staring at Yun Fei up and down, then frowned and shook his head, with an incredulous expression.

"What's wrong? Do you know my brother? Yun Zhen asked in surprise.

"This little brother, his face is cold and pale, and he is full of cold, this symptom is caused by extreme cathode cold, how can a living person tolerate it? It's strange that the little brother can still move freely! ”

"Wow! You really are a fairy, you can see it at a glance. ”

"The old man is a miracle doctor, and people give him the nickname Flesh and White Bone, and I know what disease this person has at a glance."

"I'm really not ashamed, and I still boast about myself like this." Yun Zhen muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

"No, I said you're amazing, a miracle doctor of flesh and bones."

"It's flesh and bones, this kid is so annoying, oh yes, what are you going to ask me about?" The old man turned around and asked Tianchu.

"That's right, we're going to Rongcheng, which way should we go?"

"The one on the right." The old man said, pointing.

"How long will it take to get to Rongcheng?"

"If you go fast, you'll be there in three days."

"Ah, three days, then I have starved to death, so where does this road lead? How far is it from the nearest village? Yun Zhen interjected.

"There, don't go, don't go!" The old man suddenly became mysterious and waved his hand again and again.

"What's wrong?" The three asked in unison.

"This road can meet a village for two more hours, this village was originally called Hongye Village, although this village is not big, but out of beautiful women, how many people come to admire, just to marry a beautiful wife, but since three years ago, I don't know what the reason is, this beauty village slowly became an ugly girl village, the girls in this village became extremely ugly as soon as they were sixteen years old, and their faces were amazing, I went to the village two years ago to diagnose and treat them, they were healthy and had no special symptoms, there was no way to get medicine, and it was over. Later, all the men in the village ran away, and no one went to the village anymore, and finally the village was left with only the ugly women who were isolated from the world, and the women in the village would wear masks if they went out of the village, and over time, they all wore masks to hide their ugly faces, and now everyone calls that village a mask village. ”

"And such strange things? Master, let's go and have a look, maybe we can help them. ”

"Yunfei, you like to be nosy, Master, let's not go, it's scary to hear."

"Yunfei is right, since we know it, we can't ignore it, if we really help them, it can be regarded as a merit, why not? Besides, Yun Zhen, aren't you shouting hungry and don't want to eat? ”

"Alright then......"

The three of them said goodbye to the Divine Doctor and walked in the direction of Mask Village.

"It's still three warm-hearted Taoist priests, well, not bad." The Divine Doctor nodded with his long white beard and walked towards the path leading to Rongcheng on the right.

The path leading to the Mask Village was almost completely covered with wild grasses growing wildly, and the autumn wind swept through it, creating a desolate scene that no one had walked on for a long time.

The three of them walked for less than two hours, and sure enough, as the flesh and bone divine doctor said, they saw the isolated mask village.

Surprisingly, the village was not as terrible as outsiders had claimed, perhaps because it was inhabited entirely by women, and the village was exceptionally tidy, in contrast to the desolate path that led to the outside world outside the village.

There were almost no children in the village, and the youngest was about ten years old, and the people wearing masks could only tell their age by their figures.

When these women saw the three of them, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at them, although they couldn't see their expressions behind the masks, but Tianchu knew that they must be very surprised.

Not all of them wore masks, and only a handful of children and girls had normal faces, and they were really as beautiful as the legend suggests.

Beautiful maidens, strange masks, lonely villages......

An inexplicable sadness suddenly surged from the bottom of Tianxin, and he had an urge to cry, he turned his head to look at Yun Zhen and Yun Fei, Yun Zhen covered his chest with a sad expression as if he was about to cry, and even Yun Fei, who was not easily affected, frowned at this time.

"Master, why do I want to cry so much?" Yun Zhen asked inexplicably.

"I also feel strange, I suddenly feel sad in my heart, there is something strange in this village!" Tian Chu looked curiously at the expressions of the girls and children who were not wearing masks, and he was surprised to find that their faces were also full of sadness.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." As they spoke, the three of them approached the masked women.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? A woman who looked like she was supposed to be in charge stood up and asked, although she couldn't see her face, but she was no longer young when she looked at her figure and sounded the voice.

"Auntie, we are Taoist priests of Hanyang Temple, I heard that something strange happened in your village, and I want to see if we can help you." In order to dispel the women's wariness, Tenchu explained very sincerely.

"I can't help it, after so many years, even the divine doctor can't save us, so let's go." When the aunt said this, the women all hung their heads and went home.

Everyone was gone, but only the maiden remained, a glimmer of hope in her unwilling eyes, accustomed to sadness.

The girl stepped forward and asked Tianchu excitedly, "Dao Chief, do you really have a way to save us?" You must help me, I will be sixteen in a month, I don't want to be like them, please save me. ”

"Master, she doesn't have it in her hand." Without waiting for Tianchu to speak, Yunfei suddenly came to such a sentence, confusing Tianchu.

"Nothing?"

"A red thread, a red thread with resentment, on those masked wrists." Yun Fei said as he stared at the girl's wrist.

"What a red line, I haven't seen anyone with a red line in their hands, what are you talking about?" Hearing Yun Fei say this suddenly, the girl was startled, and she hurriedly rubbed her hands and neck.

Tian Chu and Yun Zhen hurriedly caught up with the women wearing masks, and found that there really was a thin and ethereal red thread on their wrists.
