We discussed for a while, and Huang Yilan questioned, suspecting that what Xiaoxue and I encountered was not really a Gong Cao on duty, but a plan of the Xuan Ming Sect to hide from the sky and cross the sea.

I can only smile bitterly at this, how can the momentum of the man of God be disguised? Even if I look away, Xiaoxue won't look away, Huang Yilan is not a cultivator, so I can't know that subtle feeling.

But then again, I used to think of the old camel as my great-grandfather, which proves that I can also make mistakes. And if there is no problem with the concept of immortality, the enemy weishenme is going to stop us from approaching on the way? So we decided to go to visit Gao Feng, Lu Qingwen and Huang Yilan the next day, and we waited near the Immortal Temple. Huang Yilan is a very careful person and has a keen sense of observation, so he also goes.

The next day, according to the plan, the three of them went in for more than an hour and came out, all with disappointed expressions, Lu Qingwen said that she didn't see anything wrong, she didn't see a Taoist priest like Cangwu, and she was sure that there were no ghosts and zombies in it.

The purpose of my coming here is to kill the Cangwu Daoist to avenge the master, and to get the clues of the jade talisman from him, so the top priority is to find the Cangwu Daoist, not to bring down the Xuanming Sect or find evidence that the immortals were bribed, can I manage the affairs of the immortals? Since the Cangwu Daoist is not here, there is no need for me to entangle the concept of immortality, so how can I find the Cangwu Daoist now?

I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and the Cangwu Dao people were definitely hiding nearby! I'm looking for him for revenge, and he's going to seek revenge on me, so the trap is not set up to prevent me from getting close to the Immortal Concept, but to kill me and Lin Mei. He didn't show up because he was afraid of me, but because it was inconvenient to clash with Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng, so he could only use traps to create "accidents".

When the two largest factions of Taoism today are the Zhengyi Sect and the Quanzhen Sect, no matter how mysterious and evil the Xuanming Sect is, it is only a small sect, how dare it make enemies with the Zhengyi Sect? Then as long as Lin Mei and I go all the way alone, Cangwu and the people of the Xuanming Sect will appear to kill me, which seems very dangerous, but in fact, my ability has improved a lot compared to a year ago, and it is entirely possible to give Cangwu a big surprise.

We will only return the same way after the Immortal Temple is empty, so the Cangwu Daoist must be behind us and set an even more terrifying trap, and it is very likely that he is hiding in the small village we passed by yesterday.

I said quietly: "Cangwu Daoist must not have gone far, he will appear when we leave, so we have to pretend to leave now, hide nearby and wait for him to come back." In order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, Lin Mei and I went to the nearby village to look for him, and looked for him one by one, and you hid nearby to monitor the concept of immortality, so that whether he hid outside or came back, he would be discovered by us. ”

Everyone nodded, and a few of the activists were about to speak, and I had already continued: "The enemy is very strong and cunning, and he cannot leave until I have returned, and he cannot move even if he sees Cangwu. I will definitely come back once in 24 hours, and if I don't come back, it means that I have an accident, and you will go back immediately. ”

"What? This will not work! The friends shouted.

I said solemnly, "I'm just saying that in case, it may not really be able to come back." This decision is non-negotiable, and if anyone doesn't follow the arrangement, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone! ”

I was rarely so harsh, and everyone was silent, and they could only agree with my decision. Although Lu Qingwen and I have mobile phones, there is no signal here at all, so we can only meet at the appointed time.

I took out all the things that other people might use, Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng already knew that this was Xiaoxue's ability, and they were very envious. Lu Qiang was even more surprised and admired, believing that we were not ordinary people, and maybe we could really protect him, so he also made up his mind.

Lin Mei and I returned along the original route and came to the small village we passed by yesterday afternoon. The village is located in a small basin, which has been reclaimed for farmland, and there is a small river at the foot of the hill on the north side, and houses are scattered all over the river and the hillside.

When I passed by yesterday, I looked at it from a distance, and I thought there were only thirty or forty households, but when I looked closer, there were as many as sixty or seventy households, because some of the houses were hidden in the bamboo forest, and some of the houses were not visible on the other side of the hillside. Outside the village, a few women were doing laundry, a few children were chasing ducks and playing, and there were villagers carrying petunias on the road.

The air here is so fresh, the environment is so beautiful, the tranquility is full of vitality, and the plain is poetic, Lin Mei couldn't help but sigh: "If we live here, no one will bother us, you plough the land and grow vegetables, I will wash and cook, and raise some chickens and ducks, how good it would be!" ”

I feel a little sour in my heart, I can't satisfy her in such a simple and ordinary life......

Xiaoxue giggled: "I also have to give birth to a litter of children, catch fish and shrimp, dig out bird eggs, and run back and forth after chickens and ducks." ”

Lin Mei blushed: "You only gave birth to a litter!" ”

"Hehe, more children and more blessings!"

……

It's hard for me to believe that such a place could be a cult stronghold, but since I'm here, I'll have to investigate. If Cangwu is not in the village, then it must be on our way back, so it is necessary to rule it out here. Lin Mei couldn't be invisible, and it was easy to be discovered in broad daylight, so she still picked me up from behind, staring at the intersection to prevent anyone from leaving, and I sneaked into the village incognito.

Most of the houses here are stilted buildings, and a few are floor-to-ceiling wooden houses with earthen walls, all of which are simple and fancy, revealing a simple charm. I dare say that this village was like this a hundred years ago, and it will not change much in another hundred years, and the progress of the times will hardly affect this isolated place, and the villagers are still living the way they did hundreds of years ago.

The easiest way is to grab a child and ask, but there may be a language barrier, then I will be a bad person for nothing. Besides, if Cangwu Daoist changes his customary clothes, the villagers may not be able to recognize him, or I will look for it myself, with Xiaoxue's super perception, if Cangwu is in a certain house, she will definitely be able to find out.

I searched one building after another, but I didn't find anything, they were all ordinary villagers. Suddenly, I noticed that there was a stilted house at the foot of the hill in the middle of the village, its gate was decorated with cow skulls, a large number of herbs and some dried animal carcasses hung under the eaves, and there were some dragon and snake ornaments on the wooden walls, and the whole house was shrouded in a faint air of mystery.

Xiaoxue said: "There are two women inside, one is very old and the other is young, and their mental power is very strong...... The old woman went out, couldn't she have found us? ”

I was already invisible, so I wasn't too nervous, standing on the path about ten meters in front of the building and looking at the door, the door slowly opened, and an old woman with a long cane walked out. She wears a Miao costume and wears a silver headdress and necklace of a Miao woman, but it is not as complicated as the one worn on festivals. His hair was sparse and snow-white, his face was wrinkled, he had black tattoos on his face, he looked a little like a coiled dragon, his skin was wrinkled and unrecognizable, his mouth was shriveled from missing teeth, and his eyes were bright and sharp.

I can't guess her age, maybe seventy or eighty, maybe more than a hundred, but she has a great mental power, especially a pair of eyes that are like sharp arrows full of strings at me.

I was screaming that something was wrong, and was trying to find a place to hide, when her toothless mouth had already uttered a few strange syllables, and she raised her hand as if she had spilled something at me. I felt a lot of tiny bugs or powder fall on me, and my invisibility was instantly gone.

This old woman is definitely not simple, her mental strength is incredibly strong, but her body is already very weak, and if I rush over, I can definitely knock her down with one punch. But she hasn't threatened my life yet, so how could I do it to a woman of this age? So I hesitated for a second, but decided to run away, and was found out that I was a little weak after all.

I turned and ran a few steps, and heard the strange syllables of the old Miao girl coming from behind, and then I felt like I had been struck by high-voltage electricity, and I was dizzy, and my eyes were black, and I fell forward involuntarily, and fell to the ground in an ugly position. I didn't even feel the pain, my brain went blank.

Soon I regained consciousness, but my body still couldn't move, and I heard Lin Mei's cry and ran towards here. At the same time, some villagers rang the gong and shouted loudly, and many people followed the call, and the sound was chaotic.

"Xiaoxue, what's going on?" I was a little panicked, sure enough, it was a master in the people, and I was actually knocked down by an old country woman who was so old that her teeth had fallen out.

Xiaoxue said anxiously: "I can't move like you, this is like a kind of imprisoning or deterrent spell...... No, not spells, like legendary witchcraft. ”

Sorcery? As far as I know, witchcraft was lost thousands of years ago, how could this old woman know witchcraft?

"She didn't use Dao Sect spells, not Buddhist supernatural powers, or supernatural powers, but launched them with spiritual power, this must be witchcraft! Oh my God, we've met a real witch! ”

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old Miao girl walked up to me with the old witch in her arms, and the old witch stared at me and said a few words, quite sternly, but I couldn't understand a word. The little girl had a darker complexion, dignified features, and a delicate air, looking at me with some confusion and curiosity.

Lin Mei rushed over, and several villagers with knives, sticks and hoes went to intercept her, and immediately screamed and rolled away. I was so anxious, but I couldn't move or speak, and I watched Lin Mei run closer, and then I was glared at by the old witch and fell to the ground.

A large number of villagers soon poured in, and there were many discussions, I couldn't understand a word, someone tied me and Lin Mei like a big dumpling with a thick rope, and someone took the opportunity to kick me a few times, which was obviously not hospitality.

The old witch said a few words, and the villagers carried Lin Mei and me to a piece of ground not far away, and there was a circular stone platform with a diameter of more than three meters on the east side of the floor, and there was a large vat in the center of the stone platform, I don't know what it was used for. The villagers quickly gathered on the floor and brought incense candles, offerings, horns, bone totems, etc., and some people held dragon flags and musical instruments.

It dawned on me that this round stone altar was an altar, and they were going to perform some kind of ritual. This ritual is certainly not meant to welcome us, but to our toes.
