Early in the morning, Liu Shisan finally hung up the phone in the capital and reported the situation on Hengshan to Sister Du.

"There was an accident in the capital, there were constant gunshots last night, it is said that there were many dead and wounded, the situation is turbulent, and the situation is not clear for the time being." Sister Du said worriedly on the phone.

"Li Gongzi, no, Professor Guan hasn't found any trace of Erya yet?"

"Not long ago, Er Ya and Lao Bai lost their traces in Yuanling, Xiangxi, and now he is visiting in that area, a little weak, you rush over to meet them immediately, be sure to find out their whereabouts. Well, don't take Liang with you for the time being, and then notify him to rush over when you find Erya's hiding place, so as not to be found out prematurely that you are together. ”

"Yes, Shi Niang, no, boss."

"Liu Thirteen, what's wrong with you today?" Sister Du said sharply.

"I'm sorry, me"

"Forget it, Hengshan Xue Daochan, this person can speak well and speak well, it is not clear whether he is an enemy or a friend, we must pay attention to more precautions, after all, he is a demon, not our fellow Daoists."

"You say he's a demon?" Liu 13 was secretly surprised.

"It's a red devil, but I can't even identify what kind of demon it is, it's incomprehensible, so I let him go in the ghost city."

"Oh, no wonder, I thought you were interested in him."

"Nonsense," Sister Du smiled and admonished, "In short, this time we must take back the 'Devouring Needle', this is the boss's personal instructions." She hung up the phone.

The boss's personal instructions? Liu Shisan didn't know who the boss behind the scenes was, but he knew that he was in a high position and was very hidden, which he would never dare to inquire about, otherwise he would be killed at any time. He touched his shriveled eyes, when he was on Qingcheng Mountain, his appearance was very ordinary, and he was very different from Professor Guan, of course, he also understood in his heart that Sister Du was not in his favor, but the Heavenly Master Dao who could kill demons and eliminate demons. Despite this, he still went down the mountain without hesitation, bowed down under the pomegranate skirt, after all, he slept in the same bed for a while, and he was much luckier than those princes and grandsons back then.

"Youliang, the old man wants to go down the mountain to track the whereabouts of Lao Bai Erya, it is said that it is in the Yuanling area of Miaojiang in Xiangxi, you continue to practice on the mountain, and when you have the exact news, you will call Hengshan, and then it is not too late to rush over." Liu 13 found Arira and said to him privately.

"Master, don't worry, I'll practice hard."

"Master thought about it all night, the spiritual field in front of the hall at night fireflies dance, flying like candles, this is by no means an ordinary natural phenomenon, but the ancients called the "candle pilgrimage" rare supernatural phenomenon, that buried in the ground must have a great origin. Liu 13 whispered.

"What could it be?"

Liu 13 shook his head: "I didn't guess it when I wanted to break my head for the teacher." ”

After saying goodbye to Gukong Zen Master and Xue Daochan, Liu Shisan hurriedly went down the mountain, Youliang stood at the foot of Xiangguang Peak, looked at the master's back, and secretly thought to himself, seeing that he and Professor Guan were so obsessed with a woman, people shouldn't be so bad, right?

At this moment, you Liang only knows that Lu Dao simply divides people into good people and bad people, but he does not know that there is no simple difference between good and bad people in the world, and all people are actually a contradictory collection of good and bad.

Recently, he has become accustomed to seeing with one eye, and he doesn't feel any inconvenience, but he found that his left eyelid began to droop, and his eye socket gradually dried up and collapsed, and it probably won't be long before he will be like Master. Youliang smiled bitterly, he was worried that he would be scared in one eye and become disabled, and he would see Nizi again in the future. But now that I've figured it out, it's good to have a yin eye left, and I can see things that ordinary people can't see, at least it's much more interesting and superior, and it's better than being a firewood burner in Tongguan Buddha Cliff Temple for a lifetime.

He thought of Erya, she is now hiding with Lao Bai in a mountain in Xiangxi to cultivate, and he never believes that the kind-hearted Erya will become a murderous nightmare. Now Liu Shisan and Professor Guan are looking for her everywhere, maybe Sister Du or more powerful people will go to hunt down and kill the needle when they get the news, and even Xue Daochan will not let her go, and the situation at that time will be dangerous. And in case the devouring needle is taken away by others, it will be even more difficult to snatch it back, without the yang needle, your own cold will not be completely expelled, maybe you will never wake up after freezing hard that day.

No, I have to go to Erya and take her away from the chasing people, Youliang is determined to try to leave Hengshan as soon as possible.

"Master," Arira said to Gukong Zen Master, "I've been in Hengshan for so long, and I haven't had a good time, so I want to go out and walk around." ”

"It's okay, but don't go far, you must rush back at night, otherwise it will make Master Xue worried." Zen Master Gukong agreed.

Youliang just took Zeng Jing's two thousand yuan, didn't bring any clothes, and walked down Xiangguang Peak with Mei Niang in his arms, looking like he was browsing aimlessly, and when he confirmed that no one was following him, he went all the way west along the remote path. Before going out, he carefully checked the atlas, and Hengshan was only more than 500 kilometers west to reach Xiangxi Miaojiang. Although the territory of Miao Jiang is vast, there are lofty mountains and mountains everywhere, sparsely populated and poisonous snakes and beasts are infested, but these are not difficult for him, he has money in his pocket, and he has learned the "Dream Relic Skill", even if he encounters a few bandits, thieves or beasts who rob the road, I believe he can deal with it.

Arira walked all the way through the southeast hills, the more west the mountains gradually towered, these days are night and day, night in the mountain people's house, hungry to gnaw some dry food, thirsty to drink some mountain spring water, not a day finally into the remote Miao Jiang.

At dusk, there are rolling mountains and reckless forests everywhere, and there is not a single house in sight.

"Mei Niang, it seems that we only have to sleep in the open." Arira put down the basket, Mei Niang hunched her waist and yawned and climbed out of the basket, walking on the mountain road to carry the bamboo basket is the most convenient and practical, which stores dry food, refined salt, knives and matches and other necessities bought when passing through the market.

"Meow." Mei Niang saw that Youliang took out a dry steamed bun, and wanted to vomit in disgust.

"Well, actually, I want to eat meat too," Arara said, picking up the flashlight, "Let's go and see what the critters are." Then she took the lead in the nearby woods, and Mei Niang ran happily in front, and although one leg was disabled, she was still very flexible.

In the dark night, pheasants and birds are the same as finch blindness, the flashlight does not move directly to catch it, if you encounter a hare, it is always in the pillar of light to catch it, it depends on how luck can touch something. Not long after, Mei Niang gently "meowed" at a big tree, the flashlight shone over, and sure enough, there were a few pheasants squatting on the high tree branches, and when she saw the light and stupidly stunned there, Mei Niang excitedly rushed to the bottom of the tree and prepared to climb up to catch it.

"Don't bother." Youliang said as he raised his arm and "snorted" and shot out several bundles of old yin qi in a row, and the pheasants were instantly frozen by the cold and fell down, Mei Niang took two in her mouth, and Youliang carried two in her hand, and finally had meat to eat tonight.

Youliang can't use the palm of his hand to thaw like Gukong Zen Master, so he can only light a bonfire and wait for it to melt slowly, and when the pheasant becomes soft, he immediately peels and disembowels, skewers it on a wooden stick and grills it, while sprinkling some refined salt from time to time.

As the muscle fat melted, it didn't take long for the rich aroma to fill the night sky.

Mei Niang drooled and stared intently at the charred roast chicken on the wooden rack of the campfire.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a gong sound in the distance, and three people in long robes came on the mountain road, the front and back were black, and the middle one was a white robe, hurrying without saying a word under the cold moonlight, which made people feel extremely weird.

The three of them walked a few feet away and stopped, the old man in the black robe in front sniffed his nose, the fragrance of roasted pheasants was too tempting, he hesitated and asked, "Little brother, do you sell pheasants?" ”

"They're all on the go, just come here and eat as much as you want." Since leaving the Buddha Cliff Temple, Youliang has been a lot more cheerful, especially in the days when he got along with Liu Shisan and Xue Daochan, and he also learned a lot of etiquette for dealing with the world.

"Then thank you, little brother." The black-robed old man thanked him repeatedly, beckoning the black-robed man behind him to come to the bonfire, but the white-robed man was left alone, standing honestly and motionless.

"Won't that dude come and eat with you?" Arirashi asked in surprise.

"It's just a dead man, don't worry about him." The black-robed old man said.

"Dead people?" Youliang was taken aback, and when he looked up, the white-robed man was really thin and looked like a woman, and the big hat on his head was pressed very low and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"The little brother is not a local, and our father and son are old men."

"Foot-walking old man?" It's the first time I've heard of it.

"To put it mildly, it's a corpse chaser." The old man explained as he tore and chewed on the fragrant pheasant.

The black-robed old man is surnamed Luo, known as Daddy Luo, and his son is named Zhuzi, who is about the same age as Youliang. There are many mountains and valleys in Xiangxi region, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, people who die in other places want to bury their ancestors, since ancient times, they can only be sent home by "driving the corpse" through the state and the province, so it gave birth to the line of "walking feet", and people respect it as the "old division".

The footwalkers are all day and night, and they can only be seen in Xiangxi. Not only is there a special "corpse inn" here, but the locals also know how to avoid and leash the dog when they hear the sound of the small yin gong, because the corpse is very easy to be frightened by the dog, resulting in the soul of the dead not being able to return to their hometown as soon as possible.

Over the years, the highway has extended into the mountainous area of Xiangxi, and the scope of walking has become smaller and smaller, and it is becoming more and more difficult to do business.

"Alas, there is too little land at home, what can I do without walking work in the future." The old man sighed sadly.

Daddy Luo's son sat there all the time, his head sullen and didn't say a word.

"A dead man can still walk, isn't that a corpse?" Youliang looked at the white-robed man in the distance and asked in surprise.
