Volume 1 The Aftermath Chapter 22 Darkness

Fifty taels of gold is a wealth that ordinary people can't accumulate in ten lifetimes, and the thin old man who looks like a hunter is willing to enter the mountains only after getting the money, and the path at first can still allow horse-drawn carriages to travel, but as the dirt roads in the mountains become more and more potholed and narrow, the carriage that is walking with countless branches and shrubs can only stop at last.

The three of them began to walk, and the puppet Zhubei disappeared from the sight of the thin old man, hiding in the surrounding forest.

The experienced thin old man skillfully discerned the direction, judged the danger around him according to the feces and footprints on the ground, and cautiously moved forward, he was silent all the way, and in the evening, he looked for a hollow hole under the cliff, and made a fire to rest.

Seeing the old man drilling wood to make a fire, Qianxian flicked her fingers, the hay ignited a flame, the woman brushed her hair, sat down on the bluestone on the side, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, you might as well tell me about the magic village." ”

The thin old man was silent for a while, and while adding firewood to the fire, he said softly: "The magic village was originally just an ordinary village in the mountains, with a hundred and ten people, and there used to be villagers who came out to the town every ten days and half a month to exchange prey and mountain treasures for daily necessities, until eight years ago, no one from the village came out for two whole months, and the merchants who often traded with them in the town organized a team of people to set off to see, but I didn't expect this to see ......"

Qian Xian saw an indescribable color in the eyes of the thin old man, and he said: "A whole group of people actually happily took out more than a dozen sacks of gold, silver and jewelry, I have never seen so much wealth in my life, and the people who came back are like crazy, desperately organizing people everywhere, and they want to re-enter the village, they don't even mind sharing the news with everyone - a big tomb has been dug up inside, and there is the wealth of the city!"

The old man clenched the stick tightly in the palm of the bonfire, gritted his teeth, and said: "Although the town was not rich before, there were at least a thousand families, and most of them went with them, but none of them came back, none of them came back!

Qianxian was shocked: "With so many people missing, there is no movement in the local government of Gunault?"

The old man said bitterly: "We reported to the official, the government sent an army, and the leading general heard that it was a baby monk, and a group of people still went and never returned, not even one of them came back!"

"In the end, there were even three powerful immortal masters in the state, and after they understood the situation, they turned into white light and flew into the mountain, but all the same, disappeared! Erased all traces, and the world evaporated! That village has become a demon village since then, and no one dares to go there. ”

The woman's eyebrows furrowed.

Incarnated as Bai Hong, a strong man in the ancient times, such characters can be regarded as the ceiling combat power of various countries, the northern region is so big, where can it go, but this small mountain village can make three people in the ancient realm sink into the sand?

Qianxian silently sat back beside Qi Wang.

She didn't even ask Qi Wang a word.

She believed in him, as always.

The young shopkeeper closes his eyes and rests his mind.

It's dawn.

The thin old man continued to lead the team forward, and walked for a long time, the old man stood on a mound, climbed the canopy, looked around left and right, and walked to the north for an hour after coming down, and his vision suddenly brightened.

The old man pointed to the overgrown path in front of him, and said in a deep voice to the small mountain peak at the end of the distance: "Follow this path to the foot of the mountain, there is a natural cave, which goes straight through the mountain, and behind the mountain is the village. ”

The thin old man glanced at the young man and woman, his eyes were already looking at a dead man, and he turned away silently.

Qi Wang stepped on the shrubs and weeds all over the ground and walked forward, Qianxian followed behind, and the path came to the end, it was indeed a narrow cave, not so much a cave, but a gap, only enough to accommodate one person to pass sideways, but fortunately, the two of them were slender and unrestricted.

Qi Wang took a deep breath, held Qianxian's hand tightly, and said slowly: "Follow me, there is meamification in the air, and you can't light a fire." ”

The two walked into the cave.

Zhubei stood straight in front of the crack, like a statue, guarding the only entrance.

This deep crack was like a demon's mouth, devouring young men and women.

There is a big difference in temperature in the cave, but fortunately, both of them are cultivators, and they are not afraid of this temperature, the walls are wet, I don't know if it is damp or what.

Except for the footsteps of the two, the whole cave was silent.

The mindfulness shows its superiority here, and when the mind is opened, even in the dark, it is like seeing everything in the daylight.

Qi Wang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Qian Xian, who was concentrating on probing the surroundings with her mental strength, almost bumped into the man in front of her, and hurriedly stopped and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

In the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, Qian Xian noticed that the young man in front of her turned to face her, and she also clearly felt Qi Wang's snort.

Qianxian was at a loss.

However, as the surroundings fell completely silent, Qianxian's delicate body fell into stiffness.

"Don't move. ”

Qi Wang's voice was neither happy nor sad.

Qianxian didn't dare to move, she only felt that her scalp was numb.

The ten meters around her were covered by her mental power indiscriminately, and she was sure that there was nothing around!

But as their own footsteps faded away, she could hear them clearly.

The sound of breathing.

There was a sound of breathing behind her!

How is this possible?

It's people!

Must it be a person, this person has been following them all the time?

And she didn't even find out!

In this crack that can only accommodate one person to pass through, there is even a puppet at the door that can rival the cultivation of the spirit child, and the two of them didn't even hear a sound!

The young shopkeeper remained motionless and looked at the deep darkness behind Qianxian.

The sound of slight footsteps was loud in the Silent Cave.

Breathing is getting weaker and weaker.

The guy is backing up?

Qianxian, who was cold, was wet with cold sweat all over her body, this was outrageous, she was already on full alert, and her mental power was not stopping, and she didn't even notice that someone was following her behind her!

Qi Wang turned sideways, his back pressed against the wall, and said in a deep voice, "You go ahead." ”

Qianxian squeezed in front of Qi Wang with great effort, and walked to the front, she tightly clasped Qi Wang's big hand, and continued to walk forward with her heart beating slowly and quickly.

In this darkness of invisibility, only Qi Wang's warm hands could make her feel at ease.

The two moved on.

I don't know how long it took, Qianxian stopped, frowned, and said softly: "This cave is too long, it stands to reason that it should have come to the end a long time ago, and there are no twisted bends on the way, it shouldn't be." ”

Qi Wang didn't speak.

Qianxian held his hand tightly, listened to his heavy breathing behind him before he barely suppressed his wavering mind and continued to walk.

It's been a long time.

Qianxian finally couldn't bear it anymore, she turned her head and asked, "This mountain road is definitely weird, isn't it a ghost hitting the wall?"

The man behind him still didn't speak.

"Qi Wang?"

Qianxian shouted in confusion, turned around and clasped his big hand together.

The woman's body was cold in an instant, and her heart skipped a beat.

The big hand she was clenching, how could there be so much hard hair on the back of the hand?

The frightened Qianxian hurriedly let go and retreated again and again, frightened.

It's not Qi Wang!

Definitely not Qi Wang!

So what exactly is it?

In the darkness, Qianxian only heard the thing let out a penetrating laugh, like sharp nails grinding against glass, and the heart of the person trembled.

Fear gripped her heart like an invisible hand.
