After about two hours had passed, Zhao Zong and Yue Ying came back from inquiring about the news, and when they saw that Li Kun had fallen asleep, they woke up Tianxing and walked to the sand dunes outside the tent together, and said, "The two of us wandered around in the city of this Sand Tribesman for a while, and while familiarizing ourselves with the terrain, we inquired about all kinds of news about this matter. ”

Zhao Zong said: "After communicating with these Sand tribes several times, I found that these people of the Sand tribe seem to be very kind in their hearts, they are unsuspecting of us strangers, almost all questions are answered, and they are also very curious about the situation outside the desert, from our food, clothing, housing and transportation, to the distribution of the power of the supernatural monks, they will be involved, and they will ask in a disorderly manner, almost asking whatever they want, without any scheming. ”

Yue Ying continued: "Later, after some inquiry, I learned that these Sand people have been living in this desert since a long, long time ago, and that Likun has been married for a long time, and his wife has been married for a long time after giving birth to 'Bao'er', oh, the child who has been held in his arms has passed away, and he has raised this child with his brother every day, and he has never married for this child. ”

Zhao Zong continued: "As for the matter of the forbidden land of the Sand Clan, they are all divided into words, but they don't have an exact statement, they just know that the ancestors have taught that no one from the Sand Clan is allowed to enter that area. The barrier outside the city has existed for a hundred years, and there is a time limit for the people of the Sand tribe to leave that barrier to go hunting, and they must return within three days, otherwise they will die outside. And those raging sandstorms in the desert are absolutely impossible to enter, so this barrier is not only trapping the sandpeople, but also protecting them. ”

Yue Ying continued: "In addition, we also inspected those seriously ill patients, about thirty or forty people. ”

"Why are there so many?" said Skystar.

"Well, it is, but there is one thing that is strange, most of those patients are women and children, and there are only a few men~!"

"When Yue Ying and I checked on the patients, we also checked their food and the water they were drinking, but everything was normal and we didn't find any signs of poison. ”

"Well, the food and water are all normal, how did that poison happen?"

After that, Tianxing whispered the news he got from Li Kun to Yue and Zhao, and while the three of them were constantly exchanging information they knew and thinking hard about countermeasures, Li Kun slowly walked out of the tent.

"Oh~, Brother Likun, you woke up~. Tianxing and the others stopped talking and looked at Likun who walked over.

"Well, my son has not been well, and his heart is not steady, so he just took a nap. Am I interrupting your conversation?" asked Likun.

"That's fine, there's something I want to ask you about. Tianxing saw that Likun walked up to him and asked.

"But it doesn't matter, I know everything, and I hope it can help you. Li Kun replied immediately.

"Is there any place in your clan that women and children frequent, or is there anything that women or children have a greater chance of touching?"

"Where women and children often go or what they touch?" Li Kun thought carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Huh, it seems that there really is such a place, and women usually go there more often with their children." ”

"What place?" asked Tianxing and the others in unison.

"It's the 'Star God Shrine' that we worship in the Sand Clan," Li Kun replied solemnly, "Originally, in that place, there were women and children who went to pray and pray for the 'Star God' every day Bless the safety and happiness of your family, you also know, there have been more borer infestations recently, and there are cases of me and my younger brother in the past, so during this period of time, those women have been going more frequently when their lovers go out hunting at home, and every time they will take their children with them to pray to the star god, praying for the safe return of the family who went out hunting, as soon as you asked, I suddenly remembered that my son Xiao Bao'er also went to pray to the 'star god' before the accident~!"

"Star Shrine?" Tianxing frowned slightly, feeling that this place was very suspicious, "Okay, please take us to see it." ”

"Okay~!" Li Kun immediately turned around and walked towards the 'Star God Temple' with Tianxing and the others.

Under the leadership of Li Kun, everyone came to the door of an ancestral hall, there is an incense burner in the middle of the ancestral hall, and there are many incense candles inserted in the incense ash in the furnace.

I saw a statue carved behind the offering table facing the door in the hall, and it was a hundred years old from the age of the carving record on the side, but it was not known what kind of precious material carving, although it had been more than a hundred years, it was still as white as snow.

The person carved in the statue is a man, but it is by no means any god known to Tianxing and others in the past, it looks very much like a scholar, his eyes are full of melancholy, and his eyebrows also reflect a solemnity soaked in the bone marrow, he holds an iron rod in his right hand and puts it behind his back, and the two ends of the iron rod are carved with earthworm-like swirls, showing a sense of loneliness at the same time, but also revealing a sad look.

At the foot of the statue is an offering table, at the top of the table is placed a tablet of immortality, and a candle is lit at each end of the tablet, and in the center of the tablet is written 'Engongxing God Immortal Position', and under this tablet are placed the ancestors of the Sand tribe who have passed away through the ages.

There were two kneeling mats side by side under the table, and the roof directly above the kneeling mats was wrapped in cobwebs, which looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in a while, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Tianxing, Zhao Zong, and Yue Ying carefully inspected this ancestral hall, but they didn't find anything wrong. At this moment, Yue Ying grabbed the 'weeping soul' on his waist, and then let go of his hand inexplicably.

"What's wrong?" Tianxing asked with Zhao Zong.

"It's nothing, it's just that I felt a little strange at that moment, my 'weeping soul' suddenly trembled, and then it didn't reflect again, maybe the 'ghost tarantula' turned over inside, since it ate so much borer meat, it began to fall asleep, and its breath recovered quickly. ”

"Well, those borers are formed by the fusion of the souls of evil ghosts, and the 'ghost tarantulas' are specially devoured and grown, so naturally they are of great benefit to its cultivation. ”

"Yes, no wonder that the moth looked a little jealous after seeing the ghost tarantula, so that's the case, if I kill it a few more times in the future, maybe my 'ghost tarantula' can evolve stronger. ”

"Okay, let's stop talking about those things that are useless for the time being, let's quickly look up again and see what's wrong with this ancestral temple. ”

When Tianxing turned around and wanted to ask Li Kun about something more, he saw that he was kneeling on the thin ball in front of the offering table at some point, and was clasping his hands together and praying sincerely.

Tianxing and the others looked at each other, and then withdrew from the ancestral hall with interest, after all, this is a place where people worship the ancestors and gods of the past generations, and it is really inappropriate for them and others to search like this. After about half a cup of tea, Li Kun walked out of the hall and asked, "I don't know what you can find?"

Tianxing and the others shook their heads, "Hey~." Li Kun sighed in disappointment.

Tianxing immediately persuaded: "Actually, you don't have to be disappointed, after Shui Lu recovers her spiritual power tomorrow, I can heal the clansmen with her." ”

Li Kun shook his head and replied: "It's just a pity that I can't find the cause and can't eradicate it, I'm afraid that it will happen again, if you leave the Sand Clan by then, I'm afraid there will be no one to heal it, and then our lives will still be threatened." ”

Tianxing was silent when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Zhao Zong said slowly on the side: "Isn't there still time, as long as you carefully search, you may be able to find the reason." ”

Yue Ying also persuaded on the side: "That's it, if you go back first, the two of us will search carefully, you can rest assured that we will not disturb your ancestors." ”

Tianxing agreed: "Yes, I'll go back with you to see how your son is doing, he also needs you to accompany him at this time." ”

Li Kun nodded, and walked towards the residence with Tianxing, on the way, Tianxing thought about it, and asked casually: "I don't know what god this ancestral hall enshrines, why have I never seen it?"

Li Kun replied: "Who is the specific person, we juniors of the Sand Clan don't know, but I heard the ancestors say that it is the life-saving benefactor of our Sand Clan." ”

Tianxing pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the statue may have nothing to do with this matter." ”

Li Kun looked around as he walked, as if he was looking for someone.

"What's wrong, what are you looking for?"

"Oh, actually, it's nothing, just now I saw some cobwebs on the roof of the ancestral hall, and I wanted to inform Li Li to clean it, but I'm no longer a member of the Sand Clan, and it's inconvenient to come. ”

"That person's surname is Li, aren't all of you Sha people surnamed Li?"

"Oh, it's not all, there have been businessmen who got lost in the desert before, and later came to our tribe, then Li Li is a businessman who was lost in the case of lack of water, left behind when he died of illness in our tribe, because his physique is different from the unique physique of our Sand tribe, and he can't practice our exercises, so he can't go out hunting, and he is responsible for cleaning and cleaning in the ancestral hall on weekdays, wiping the statues and ancestral tablets, etc., maybe because he feels different from us since he was a child, so now he seems to be out of place with us, and he always wants to leave the Sand Clan after collecting enough money to find his own life。 ”

"Well, I see. Well, when I go back and see if your son is well, I'll go and tell him to clean up the ancestral hall. ”

"Then there's work. ”

While the two were talking, they returned to the tent, Li Kun's face was a little ugly for some reason, so he lay down next to his son and fell asleep......
