People from outside the city were allowed to enter the city, and when they heard the news, refugees from all over the city poured into the capital. Yan Xi sat in the carriage and looked out, there were many passers-by, all going to the capital.

"Now in this form, I wonder if the high priest can withstand it?" Zhang Lian sighed as he rode on his horse.

Lian Hua and Yun Zhu rode horses, and Hongchan rode in a carriage with Yan Xi on the grounds that he couldn't bask in the sun.

"What's the matter? Is it possible that your monarch still has to punish a loyal minister?" Lian Hua is a little ignorant of mortal things, and he is obviously dedicated to the people, why should he be punished?

"Lian Hua Gongzi doesn't understand, yesterday I advised the priest not to put people in, just to prevent the priest from becoming the target of the public and the object of the courtiers' catharsis. Now, even if the monarch wants to protect the priests, the character of the courtiers will definitely make a fuss about this matter. The priest wanted to get out, but he was afraid that it would be difficult. ”

The more Lian Hua listened, the more angry he became, "Is there any reason in this world? Why do good people have to be tortured like this? Why don't I go back now, tie up that monarch and beat him, and let him know what to do, why not to be? How to be a good monarch?!"

Lian Hua was about to turn the horse's head as he spoke, but was stopped by Yun Zhu. "Go back? What can you do? If you go back, the hundred officials will not punish her? You can go back to the countless people in the city who are suffering from the epidemic? Lianhua, it is not five hundred years ago, and you are not the little son of the Yun clan anymore. ”

Yun Zhu's words made Lian Hua sober up a lot, and all the impulses just now disappeared.

"I ...... I know. Lian Hua looked at Yun Zhu and smiled desolately. "The past days can't go back for a long time, you are not the same you used to be, and I am not the same person I used to be......"

Yan Xi listened to the sound outside the car getting quieter and quieter, and couldn't help but be a little curious. opened the curtain and looked twice, only to see Lian Hua and Yun Zhu confronting each other, and the atmosphere between the two was delicate.

"Can't you see, they still knew each other before?" Hongzen lay in the car, holding his head with one hand and shaking a fan with the other.

"I thought that the Ghost King was only interested in big things, but I didn't expect that the Ghost King was also interested in these small things. Yan Xi responded.

Hongchan raised his eyes and looked at Yan Xi, "Hey, you can't say that, the past of the immortal world cloud blessing immortals, I am very interested in listening to it, I think the gods are the same as me." ”

Yan Xi lowered the curtain and turned his head to look at Hongchan. "I don't know what the purpose of the ghost king is, but if there is any threat to the world, Yan Xi will not let you go first. ”

"Leave me alone?" Red Zen muttered to herself, "Do you think I'll care?"

It was useless to say more, Yan Xi shut up directly and stopped talking to Hongchan. Seeing that Yan Xi ignored her, Hongchan didn't get angry, just hooked his lips and smiled.

I walked a long way out of the city, but there was no road in front of the mountain, and the carriage could not go. In desperation, everyone had to hike into the mountain.

In order to hide his identity, Zhang Lian only brought a few people with him. sent two to stay and watch things, and the other people went into the mountain with Yan Xi and the others.

I said...... This Daohua Village is also around the capital, so why can't this road be repaired properly?" Lian Hua complained as he walked.

Zhang Lian walked in front and led the way, "You don't know, this Daohua Village, the reason why it is Daohua Village, is because of the unique geographical location of the village, which is conducive to planting rice, and the rice grown is full of grains and tastes exceptionally sweet. Everyone said that this was a gift from God to Daohua Village, and it should be well protected, so no one dared to destroy every grass and tree here at will. ”

Lian Hua said, "I see, God-given rice? ”

Walking all the way in, over a hill, the so-called Inuka Village appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the middle is flat land, now it is the season of harvesting rice, from a distance, the whole Daohua Village is golden, it is really a good scenery of the countryside.

And they went down the hill, met the river, and went down the river. The road was filled with the sound of rice waves and the murmuring of the river.

"The scenery is really nice, it feels like a paradise. Lian Hua casually folded a rice plant, put it in his hand and observed it repeatedly, and put another one in his mouth. "The taste is really different from what you eat on weekdays, it's sweeter...... There is also a scent. ”

Yun Zhu glanced at it twice and did not speak. Lian Hua thought he wanted to eat, so he reached out and handed him the rice in his hand, but Yun Zhu didn't look at him and left directly.

"Isn't that what you wanted? Why are you not happy to give it to you now?"

Yan Xi sighed helplessly, raised his hand and patted him comfortingly. "How long has it been since you eat, do you remember what rice tastes like?"

Listening to Yan Xi say this, he has been an immortal for hundreds of years, and he has long been accustomed to not eating fireworks, and the taste of rice is indeed blurred. It's just that this rice is really different, Lian Hua was just about to explain, everyone had already walked a long way, and in desperation, Lian raised steps to catch up.

After walking some distance, I suddenly saw several villages.

The two children were pinching clay figurines in the yard, and when they saw someone coming, they stopped what they were doing and looked up at everyone, with more curiosity and vigilance in their eyes.

The last time Zhang Lian came here, he didn't stay, and wanted to take them directly to find the crazy old man.

As everyone passed by, one of the little girls ran quickly to Hongzen's side and pulled his clothes with her hands.

"Brother, you are so good-looking, this clay figure is given to you. ”

After the little girl finished speaking, she handed over the clay figurine she had just pinched in her hand. It is a small man with eyes, a nose and a mouth. It's just that when you put it together, you can't tell it's a person, but it looks like a sticky plaything.

When Lian Hua saw the little girl running over, he was frightened. The heart said that it is not good to send this little girl, but I want to send the ghost king, or such an ugly clay man. If this ghost king suddenly gets angry and destroys the entire Daohua Village, wouldn't it be a human tragedy?

Thinking of this, Lian Hua hurriedly squatted down and looked at the little girl, "That brother doesn't want it, can you give it to me?"

The little girl was obviously unwilling, and raised her hand to point at Hongzen, "You have to give that brother, he looks better in red clothes, better than the bride in the village." ”

The child's innocent words, everyone was shocked. No one will be happy if they compare the beauty of men with women.

Yun Zhu took a step forward, "The child's unintentional words, Hongzen don't mind." ”

Hongzen's face remained unchanged, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but bent down towards the little girl. Stretching out his slender fingers, he took the clay figure.

"Thank you, I love it. ”

Lian Hua was completely frozen, and Yun Zhu also obviously felt the surprise. Yan Xi was not so worried, he sat in the same carriage with Hongchan for a few days, although Hongchan was cloudy and sunny, people were proud and arrogant, and they did everything according to their interests. But being angry with a child is not his style.

The few people around were obviously frightened by Hongchan, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

"Huh. The little girl laughed happily, her eyes curved like crescent moons, "If my brother likes it, it's fine." ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the little boy next to him ran up and pulled the little girl behind him.

"Sister, my mother called us, let's go home. ”

After the little boy finished speaking, he took the little girl and ran into the house with a puff of smoke.

"Well, how long will it take for General Zhang to arrive?" Lian Hua eased the awkward atmosphere and walked towards everyone.

"In front of you is the old man's residence, so I'll take you there. Zhang Lian echoed.

Lian Hua walked behind Hong Chan and watched him put the clay figurine into the ruins, and did not throw it away as he thought. I can't say why, Lian Hua suddenly felt that Red Zen was weird, it seemed to be different from the imaginary demon who killed people without blinking, and was a little like a human.

"It's here. Zhang Lian pointed to the thatched hut in front of him, "That's where the old man lives." Last time, that's how we found him. ”

When it finally arrived, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Who are you looking for?" the villager next to him heard the voice, opened the door and looked at the crowd.

"I, it's me...... Xiao Zhang. Zhang Lian took two steps forward and greeted the man. "Why haven't I seen me for more than ten days, and the village chief doesn't know me?"

The village chief was an old man over half a hundred years old, with gray hair and a thin body, but his eyes looked very bright.

"Is that you?" the village chief looked at Zhang Lian from beginning to end, and only opened his mouth patiently for a while. "Why are you here again?

"Hey, is the village chief?" Lian Hua walked over to Zhang Lian and stood still, smiling flatteringly at the village chief. "It's just looking for someone, why are you so excited?"

"Excited? Last time, it was because of them that Xu Weng went crazy. This time they are coming again, who can guarantee that nothing will happen!" The village chief shouted unconvinced, and pushed Zhang Lian and Lian Hua easily, "You all let me go, we don't welcome you in Daohua Village." ”

"Village chief, uncle, slow down, you have something to say...... Lian Hua hurriedly said.

"There's nothing to say, go, give me a leave right away!"

When the village chief shouted like this, the surrounding villagers were alarmed. Everyone came out one after another, looking at this group of uninvited guests defensively.

Just when the village chief hit Zhang Lian, Yun Zhu reached out and grabbed the village chief's wrist.

Seeing this, Lian Hua was angry. "You, let's reason with you, why are you still beating people?"

Yun Zhu ignored Lian Hua, "Why is the village chief in such a hurry to kick us out, could it be that there is something unsightly in this village?"

As soon as Yun Zhu said this, the faces of the village chief and the surrounding villagers immediately changed. Became vigilant, with a faint anger.

"What nonsense? We don't welcome outsiders here, you go!"

"Yes, let's go!"

"Get out of our village!"

......

The surrounding scolding came and went, but Yun Zhu was unmoved, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the village chief.

Yun Zhu let go of the village chief's hand and said calmly. "We have no malicious intent, and I ask the village chief not to misunderstand, and I just have something to ask for when I go to Daohua Village. As soon as we find someone and ask about something, we will leave immediately. ”

The village chief felt a faint pain in his arm, and then looked at the group in front of him with a light posture. At first glance, it is a practicing family. If they really fight, they don't necessarily get benefits. After thinking about it again and again, the village chief had no choice but to give in.

"It's okay to find someone...... However, you want me to accompany you, and you will leave me as soon as you see it!"

Yan Xi said, "Okay!"

Lian Hua was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Yan Xi agreed, and Lian Hua had no choice but to shut up.

Yan Xi said, "Please also ask the village chief to lead the way." ”

Seeing that the village chief had compromised, everyone didn't say much, and after a few glances at Yan Xi and his group, they dispersed.

"This way. After the village chief finished speaking, he walked towards the thatched hut in front.

Yun Zhu looked at the village chief, "We haven't said who we're looking for, how did the village chief decide?"

The village chief listened to Yun Zhu's words, and his steps were obviously stunned.

"It's not ...... The last time he came, he came to find Xu Weng, this time...... Shouldn't it be the same?"

Yun Zhu listened to the words of the village chief and was silent for a long time. waited for the village chief to be obviously impatient, and then spoke slowly. "So...... There is the village chief of Lao. ”

Yan Xi and Hong Chan walked behind, obviously sensing that something was wrong, and did not break it, but just followed behind and walked towards the grass house in front.

I said...... Isn't that the little boy just now?" Lian Hua pointed to a person in the distance, towards Yan Xi and Hongzen.
