When Xu Qinqin heard this, she suddenly became a little impatient, and said, "Don't ask, it's not a good thing." ”

After speaking, she was slightly stunned, and hurriedly went out without giving an explanation. Leaving Dao Chen alone, the man was puzzled, shook his head helplessly, and continued to drink the porridge.

——

Yesterday it rained for a day, but today it was a sunny day, the sun was shining, and people's lives were back on track again. Li Gu brought a chair and sat by the door looking at the book and sipping tea.

Soon after, several luxury cars came and stopped by the gate, attracting a wave of onlookers. A woman got out of the car, it was Xiao Ao. She was followed by four bodyguards, attracting a lot of attention.

Xiao Ao ignored these gazes, walked directly to Li Gu's side, and under his curious gaze, said, "Where is Dao Chen?"

"Dao Chen?" Li Gu was puzzled, but looking at his posture, he must be a powerful person, and he didn't dare to be easily angry, and said: "He didn't come to the evening shift yesterday, and I don't know where he is." ”

"Whew!"

Xiao Ao sighed lightly and gestured to the two bodyguards beside him. Not long after, the bodyguard took out a leather bag, Xiao Ao took out a thick pile of banknotes from it, threw it on Li Gu, and continued to ask, "Where is Dao Chen?"

Li Gu was stunned by this sudden money, and stammered for a while, saying, "I...... I really don't know, he ...... He didn't know he was there. ”

Before he finished speaking, another wad of money was smashed. He took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, carefully put away the money, and said: "He has something to do with the school's dance department and Yu Ya, he didn't come to duty last night, and he didn't see anyone today, you can go to the dance department to ask, or ask Yu Ya." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Ao nodded, and then walked straight towards the school.

——

"Proud father-in-law, are you looking for me?"

In the circle around the mountain, Dao Chen came to the upper reaches of the river and looked at the old man standing with his back to him suspiciously. This old man is the village chief of the village, his name is Xu Ao, and the people in the village call him Proud Father-in-law.

Xu Ao stared at a white grass in the water, and said: "This lonely white is a rich poison medicine in the encircled mountains, but it can only grow in this encircled mountain, and it can't get out, and it has to suffer from the depth of the water." ”

"Huh?"

Dao Chen was a little puzzled, and didn't understand what Xu Ao meant, so he had to stay quietly on the side.

Xu Ao glanced at Dao Chen and said, "Follow me." ”

With doubts, Dao Chen followed behind Xu Ao until he walked to a place full of half-crippled statues. Just when Dao Chen was puzzled, Xu Ao directly opened his mouth to explain, and said: "These are all warriors who sacrificed in the circle of mountains. ”

"Warrior?" Dao Chen looked at the sculptures around him, some young, some slightly old, but most of them were damaged, and asked, "But why are these sculptures broken, the first few were obviously carved not long ago, shouldn't they be broken so easily?"

Xu Ao said: "It's really not, you will understand if you take a closer look." ”

Dao Chen hesitated for a moment, and looked at the statues curiously, all of which had traces of animal scratches! If he didn't look closely, he would probably be blinded by this mess.

Dao Chen asked, "What is this?"

"Follow me. Xu Ao beckoned to Dao Chen, came to a small road, and waited for Dao Chen to follow, before he said: "The tiger demon, its whole body is snow-white, dozens of feet tall, and its head has horns, and it will appear outside our village from time to time, and it has been more than 100 years. ”

Xu Ao cleared the grass that was blocking the way, and continued: "It has caused everyone in the village to be in danger, and the warriors you saw just now are the ones who died to fight against the tiger demon. ”

"Tiger Demon, White Tiger?" Dao Chen's face was cloudy, and after half a ring, he heard Xu Ao shouting, so he hurriedly followed and asked, "Then why don't you want to move?"

"Migration?" Xu Ao shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "We want to too!" But it's even more dangerous outside, decades ago, we tried to migrate, and some young people left with hope, and only two people escaped back in the end. I heard from them that there was a monster in human form outside, and when he raised his hand, there was a surge of wind and clouds, and he couldn't get out at all. ”

"It's him!" Dao Chen suddenly understood who Xu Ao was talking about, and muttered, "In that case, why didn't he come in?"

Xu Ao beckoned in front and said, "Let's go, this road is more difficult to walk, you are injured, be careful." ”

After Dao Chen followed, he continued: "Fortunately, a hundred years ago, a fairy passed by, and with a little finger, it turned into an enchantment. Since the enchantment was there, there were a lot fewer demons who came to disturb it, and it is said that a hundred years ago it would be almost every day, but now it only comes four or five times a month. ”

"Fairy?evolutionary?"

At this point, Dao Chen became more and more confused, but when he walked through that road, he fell into another scene. There were graves one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

Dao Chen was puzzled, "This is here?"

Xu Ao explained: "In the past hundred years, outsiders who accidentally came to our village, a total of thirty-six tombs, most of which were eaten by tiger demons. ”

Dao Chen silently stepped forward and took two steps, and gradually things became clear in front of his eyes. He had also guessed before this, and this confirmed his thoughts. Although it has not been confirmed, the truth of the matter is that nine times out of ten.

He looked at the graves in the mountains, and unconsciously smeared a layer of sadness on his heart. As he sighed, the silence of the cemetery was suddenly shattered by a sob.

Before he knew it, he quietly walked forward, past one grave after another, and finally at the end he could see the source of the cry.

On the two connected cemeteries, there was a sobbing girl, who was Xu Qinqin.

"Qinqin's parents came from outside, claiming to be members of the expedition, but they were too careless and died under the tiger's mouth. I remember that Qin Qin was only seven years old that year, hey!"

Xu Ao shook his head and sighed, explaining to Dao Chen, and said leisurely: "At that time, this pair told me that there was a communication tool that could contact the outside world, but their communication tool was lost at that time. In fact, I am telling you so much because I hope you will help us connect with the outside world, and this may be the only hope. ”

Dao Chen quietly took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and when he saw that there was no signal displayed on it, he shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry, I don't have a communication tool." ”

It's not that he wants to deceive Xu Ao, it's just that he doesn't want to give him hope, and then extinguish this flame of hope, it's better to veto it directly.

"It's fine. ”

Xu Ao shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and turned his head away. But it is easy to see the thick helplessness that he unconsciously revealed.

——

At night, looking at the starry sky outside through the window, it is so bright.

Dao Chen stood by the door of the house at the entrance of the village, looking at the two cyan rays of light in the jungle with a serious face, and the purple demon sword fell out of his pocket, ready to fight at any time.

At this moment, a purple light fell from the sky, and then the purple demon appeared in front of him, and the two rays of light also disappeared the moment the purple demon appeared.

Dao Chen put away the Purple Demon Sword, then walked into the house and asked, "Why are you here?"

The Purple Demon followed and asked, "Why can't I come, and I came, and I helped you, didn't I?" Don't forget, your injuries are not healed now, and you can't get the slightest benefit from fighting it." ”

Dao Chen said unhappily: "Isn't it all about you?"

"Eh, aren't you happy?" The purple demon sat directly on the bed, crossed Erlang's legs, and said: "Although I brought you here, but this 'captivity' matter is not made by me, if you are not willing to help them now, I will take you away immediately, and change the way of trial, how about it?"

Dao Chen said: "If you say that it is a trial, it is better to let me go directly to Yu Ya to have a good time, not to mention that Yu Ya will not kill me directly." It's just, what do you mean by captivity?"

"Don't you understand? What did the little old man say to you today?" The purple demon looked at Dao Chen playfully, and continued: "Didn't you notice? This circle of mountains is a cage, and the people inside are the food raised by the tiger demon family outside, in other words, domestic animals! Besides, let you fight that little spider, and you will be poisoned when others touch it twice, how can you beat it?"

Dao Chen stared at the purple demon, his face kept changing, and finally smiled bitterly: "Oh, is it?

The purple demon looked at Dao Chen with disgust and said, "I can't remember how long I've lived, this kind of thing is very common." However, you won't be able to get rid of this trial, will you?"

"Yes!" Dao Chen sighed and said, "The human race is in trouble, how can you sit idly by, you still win in the end." ”

"Alright, I'm leaving. The purple demon nodded his head with satisfaction and said, "Let me remind you again, the little tiger that transforms is actually not strong, not as strong as the little spider now." If you can practice the supernatural powers you have realized to the eighth sword, you should be able to beat it. ”

As she spoke, she had already walked to the door, and as if she had thought of something, she turned her head and continued: "Oh! By the way, the divine vein is not actually used by you like this, and if the little tiger was not careless, you would not be able to beat it. Also, those special divine veins forged by divine roots and those cultivated by special methods actually have other abilities, and the key lies in that lotus flower. Also, it's time for you to change your practice, and the exercise I'll give you is just the simplest exercise. Although it can still be used now, I don't think any of the exercises are easy to use. ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Dao Chen to say anything, the purple demon had already turned into a purple light and disappeared.

Dao Chen sighed: "This day, I don't know what she's busy with, she disappeared for a day, and she disappeared after a while." ”

——

In the middle of the surrounding mountains, there was a snow-white tiger running wildly in the woods, its eyes were filled with fear, and it said: "Yukong! at least Yutian Realm! Who is this person!"

"Little Tiger, why are you running so fast?"

A girl's voice came from nowhere, and Bai Po hurriedly stopped his body and kept looking around. It looked nervous, with a deep fear in its eyes.
