Your corpse is either scarred or gray-haired, but at the end of the day, it's the same, it's empty-handed.

- Ouyang was ashamed

The old-timers still only cared about the crowd watching the spoils of war—the doll with grass on its head—but they didn't pay any attention to the uneasiness of the three of us.

"Hey, a few of you, carry this treasure to the bonfire, and when my brother comes back, the two of us will personally send it back to the clan, so that the patriarch can pass it, this trip is not in vain" The old man shouted and arranged to go down, and a few people carried the square platform and moved over, and the rest of the people still rushed forward to watch.

"Hey hey this thing, what about the spirit" The old-timer turned his head to look at a few of us, and said a little ostentatiously: "As long as it jumps out of the enchantment and drills into the soil, then don't try to catch it again, just a few boys rounded it up in the enchantment trap, and the result was almost let it escape, but fortunately, I arrived in time and grabbed the pigtail, so I caught it, if I arrived a little late......"

"Senior, our business ......" Seeing that he was talking, Dan Er had to interrupt him.

"Oh, don't worry, my brother must have encountered something interesting to delay, you can wait here with peace of mind, rest assured, as soon as he comes back, that jade girl will arrive safely" The old man patted his chest and assured.

The three of them were helpless, and there seemed to be no other way to do it, so they had to wait under his leadership while visiting this stronghold with only a few earthen houses.

"See that?" said the old-timer pointed to the monster that had just been cut off on the platform that had just been cut off, "Chai Bone Beast, don't look at this guy's ugly appearance, its bone meal, body fluids and even hair are all excellent products for repairing essence damage." This one is different," the senior pointed to the one-person-tall cage next to him and said, "It's much more beautiful."

I saw an animal in the cage, which was neither a wolf nor a dog, with a white fluff that could almost reflect the light of the campfire next to it, and when it saw us approaching, it raised its head and stared at us with hostility.

"Haohu, this thing is also very spiritual, very good at imitating human women, as long as you want, it can transform into any ...... Well, I shouldn't tell children about this, anyway, those tycoons in the human race like to collect it the most, and after adding **, there will soon be buyers who will pay a lot of money for it, you know, the clan needs to feed a lot of people. Yes, yes, and this, Bliss Desolate Soul ......"

The old-timers were talking about these strange things, but the words made me feel more and more uncomfortable, and here, the so-called desolate spirits no longer seemed to be murderous creatures that mutilated humans, but more like prey to be bullied......

"Do you know, this is a treasure of feng shui" After introducing the prey in those cages, the senior pointed to the dim surroundings and said: "A few years ago, some people found a strange desolate soul here, and then built this stronghold, and sure enough, it lived up to expectations, our clan got a lot of rewards in this wilderness, and the Hongyuan clan that had declined before was almost completely rejuvenated because of this!"

"Just this desolate mountain wilderness?" said Dan Er with some disdain.

"That's right, I'm not exaggerating at all" The old man smiled proudly, and then looked at Dan Er with a deep meaning and said: "Hehe, don't underestimate this desolate land, if the King of Daping is willing to lobby from it to reconcile our clan with the Great Sect, we are very happy to share the prosperity here with the Zhao clan, as long as it is ......" The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The Great Sect also allows us to enter the Luofeng Valley"

Luofeng Valley, a familiar name, is a symbol of disaster in my father's mouth, but at this time, in the words of this old-timer, it seems that he is full of yearning for it.

Dan Er snorted a little contemptuously, and said, "I don't understand this kind of thing, you better tell my father."

"Hehe, the second son is really modest, which Dianhua clan has survived to this day, not relying on his own feng shui treasure to establish the world?" After the old man finished with a smile, seeing that Dan Er still didn't seem to react, he shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay, whether you really don't understand, or you are refusing, it's lucky to get to know the second son of the Zhao family today, and then we really need to talk to your father, so wait for the right opportunity." Okay boys and girls, it's not too early, it's time for everyone to rest, someone will help you arrange a place to stay, sleep well, and when my brother returns, you can continue your tasks."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards a house, and after a few steps, he stopped and turned his head and asked, "Is your task tricky?"

"No need, it's just a very ordinary regular task!" Egg replied expressionlessly, obviously, at this time, he, like me, lacked a good impression of this senior.

The old-timer shook his head helplessly, pointed at Dan Er with his finger and smiled: "Hey, little ghost!, okay, I don't ask, just rest early, these surroundings are not as peaceful as they seem, don't run around at night."

The old-timers turned around and entered a room, and then a clansman came up to lead the way, guiding us into another small earthen house next to the campfire, with two rooms in the east and west, Wu Zhen slept in one, and Dan Er and I slept in the other.

"I don't have a good impression of these people," I whispered to Dan Er while lying on a simple wooden bed.

"Me too, don't get me wrong, not all of the Dian Hua clans are like this" Dan Er turned to the side and said, "Also, don't let them know your identity, don't underestimate the contradictions between the big and small sects"

"Hmm" I nodded and stopped talking, the light of the beating fire outside reflected the shadow of the window swaying and flickering on the roof, I was worried about Yu'er's safety and couldn't sleep, thinking about the senior just now, according to Dan Er, his strength was already very good, and the other old-timer seemed to be even more powerful than him, so it seems that Yu'er should be fine, but I always have an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart, lying on the bed and thinking about it for a long time, I don't know when I gradually began to feel a little trance.

The sound of crackling bonfires appeared in my ears from time to time, and I felt strange in a trance, and I suddenly felt strange, and there was a ruined wall around me, and the shadows of the trees with teeth and claws in the dim darkness around me were like ghosts, as if they were in the short-lived dream on the train again.

Looking for a glimmer of light in front of him, he walked slowly, and around a broken wall, there was still a small bonfire, and the guy in a black robe was still sitting next to the bonfire, his face was unrecognizable under the cover of his hat.

Thinking of the blue-faced fanged face that appeared in my dream earlier, I stood far away and didn't dare to go any closer to the campfire.

"We're meeting again" This time, he didn't raise his head, just used a branch to stir the bonfire in front of him, and spoke slowly, I was still stunned and didn't dare to approach.

"Does it make sense to play over and over again, what do you want out of me?" the other man still didn't look up, just said something in a low, hoarse voice that I couldn't understand at all.

Seeing that I still didn't react, he finally raised his head and looked at me, there was a dead darkness on all sides, only a small pile of bonfires in front of him reflected his non-human and non-beastly face, his round eyes reflected the blood-red fluorescence against the background of the bonfire, looking at his face, I instantly felt the hairs stand up, the excessive fear almost made the whole body stiff, and the whole person didn't even have the strength to turn around and escape.

"Hmph, that's what you look like again, this is what you call yourself righteous? I have only seen you show your cowardice and cowardice a thousand times! What have you got?" asked the other man in a contemptuous tone.

I didn't know what he was talking about, I wanted to turn my head and run away, but at this time, I was so nervous that my whole body was trembling, and my legs were even stiffer and couldn't move, I was so frightened just by looking at him, what spider woman before, a man with a broken face, and even the blood smoke of the corpse king, compared to him, it was a world of difference.

"Answer me, what did you get this time?" he stared at me with bloodshot eyes, and there was already some impatience in his tone.

I struggled to control my body, which was almost paralyzed by fear, and squeezed out a voice from my throat that trembled: "I—I don't know...... What are you talking about"

"It's like this every time, can you give me a little hope!" the other man turned his head to look at the campfire and muttered in a dejected tone.

Seeing his face, my fear eased slightly, but I still trembled and did not dare to move.

"Started being hunted?"

The other party was an understatement, but it aroused a burst of surprise in me, and I couldn't help but put aside the fear just now, and asked softly: "You, how do you know?"

"Hmph, helpless, desperate?"

It sounded like he didn't seem to be hostile to me, so he relaxed his spirits, squatted on the ground weakly, looked down and recalled his experience during this time, and said gloomily: "Helpless...... One thing, despair, down, not yet"

The other party sneered twice and said disdainfully: "I can almost see your next corpse, either scarred or gray-haired, but in the end, it is the same, they are all empty-handed."

I was shocked, looked up at him, and mustered up the courage to ask softly, "You...... Who are you?"

"Who am I?" hehe, it's started again, back and forth," the other party shook his head with a wry smile that seemed to be quite helpless.

"Over and over again?" I looked at him puzzled, and couldn't help but say, "We'...... Looks like you've never seen it before, right?"

"Never seen it?" hahaha......" The other party suddenly burst into a wild laugh, as if I had told a funny joke, and then turned his head, stared at his blood-red eyes and roared loudly: "Thousands of times, you are not tired, I am tired!"

I was startled, sat up suddenly, in the darkness, the light flickered, and when I came back to my senses, I looked around, and then I remembered that I was still sleeping in that earthen house, and the bonfire outside the window was still crackling softly, and the egg on the side turned over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

I gasped nervously for a while, waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a dream, it's just a dream."

Dan Er was a little relieved when he heard this, lay down and said with relief: "Relax, don't be too nervous, it's almost dawn, hurry up and rest for a while, tomorrow when we pick up the jade, we still have to go a long way."

"Oh, don't worry, I'm fine" I replied to him pretending to be calm, but I felt a cold sweat all over my body, and I didn't feel sleepy.

Lying down and tossing and turning for a while, I really felt depressed, remembering that Dan Er had just said that it was almost dawn, so I simply got up and got out of bed and walked outside the house.

"Where are you going?" asked Dan Er softly behind him.

"The door is breathable, it's okay, you can sleep"

Without waiting for Dan Er to respond, I turned around and pushed the door open, the bonfire outside was booming, and it seemed that there were clansmen keeping vigil outside all night, at this time it was dark, and there was no sense of dawn at all, it seemed that it was still very early.

It was late autumn, and it was cold outside at this time, so I simply sat by the campfire, bored to pick up a piece of firewood and threw it in, and then watched it startle a firefly in the bonfire, and the night watchman passed by, only glanced at me, and walked away without saying anything.

Just as I was looking at the beating bonfire and being stunned alone, there were a few soft knocks beside me, looking for a voice, it was actually the child detained in the transparent cover, only to see it gently knocking on the square platform, while looking at me, and muttering something in my mouth, I was curious for a moment, moved my position, leaned over to listen carefully.

"Mom's ......"

Mom? I look like I'm a man, right, how can this little thing shout at me, Mom? But when I listen to it, it seems that there is still content.

"Mom, eaten, dad, dad eaten, brothers and sisters, all eaten......"

I was horrified, what was this little guy talking about? Why did he sound so panicked!

"Doodoo is afraid, Doodoo is afraid, save Doodoo!"

Listening to the immature voice, I suddenly understood that it seemed to be asking me for help, I didn't know what to do, the big fox in the cage on the side yawned lazily, glanced at the little guy, and whispered: "Goblin, you save your energy, ask for help from the ignitator, you can figure it out!"

The little guy looked back at the big fox, then looked at me with a pair of big watery eyes, and his little hand knocked on the transparent cover between me and it, and whispered, "Brother...... It's different, good man, save me!"

In another cage on the side, there is a bird with extremely gorgeous feathers, and in my impression, the old-timers seem to call it what kind of blissful desolate soul? I saw it shake the feathers on its body, and also looked at the little guy casually and said: "How can the ignition person be different, extremely vicious, insatiable!"

The little guy put his hands on the transparent cover, looked at me with blank eyes, and then sat down with his head bowed in frustration, and said no more.

"I ...... What am I going to do?" I mustered up the courage to whisper to me.

The little guy raised his head sharply and looked at me with excitement on his face, and the Fox and the Bliss Desolate Spirit on the side also raised their heads and stared at me, as if in their opinion, this was impossible.

"Boy, are you kidding?" Bliss Desolate asked in a low voice.

"No, what I said is true, I want to help you" I said frankly, then looked down at the little guy in front of me and asked, "What should I do?"

The little guy leaned over to him with a happy face, pointed to the lock on the edge of the square table and said, "Open, open"

I leaned over and pulled hard, but the lock was very tight, not moving, I adjusted the position, pulled hard again, still did not move, no way, turned around and found a wooden stick, and was about to try to pry it open, but the big fox on the side whispered: "You light, the other people here are not the same as you!"

As soon as it was reminded, I hurriedly looked around, the night watchman did not know where to patrol, at this time it seemed that he was not in front of him, the opportunity could not be missed, so he inserted the wooden stick into the gap under the lock, and was about to pry it hard, when a soft shout suddenly came from afar: "What are you doing?"

I quickly pulled out my stick, sat down under my buttocks, and glanced at the Night's Watch who was walking by, he was separated from me by a large campfire, and I should not have seen what I had just done, so I quickly explained, "I...... Just now I was ......"

I couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while, but a figure suddenly flashed next to me - Dan Er?

I saw him beckoning to the Night's Watch and asking softly, "Hey, who is that, do you know me?"

The night watchman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I know, Elder Xing has explained, you are the son of the Zhao family, and you want us to take care of it."

"Oh, it's good to know, I just have something I want you to help with, that's it......" Egg Er went up and put his arm on his shoulder and pulled him away.

Seeing that the second egg was helping, it was urgent, I inserted the wooden stick into the lock, pried it hard, and with a soft sound, a lock was opened, and there was a burst of joy in my heart, and the little guy inside couldn't help but clap his hands excitedly, and then the second and third ...... The eight locks were pried open one by one, and the little guy slipped out of it, and with a pinch of tender green grass on his head, a red fruit swayed left and right very cutely.

"Brother, good man!" said the little one, looking at me in a milky voice.

I smiled awkwardly and urged, "Don't say it, let's go."

"Goblin, you're so lucky, you've met a good person, let's go," Haohu on the side also urged.

"Don't worry, I'll let you out one by one" I finished speaking, walked to the cage of the big fox, but found a general lock on the cage, thinking that this is bad, it is too early, this lock must be opened to wake everyone up.

Haohu looked at me in surprise and whispered, "Do you really want to let us out?"

"Yes, yes," I said hesitantly, "but, this lock ......"

"Don't worry about it, tear off a few runes stuck to it," said Haohu as he stood up, pointing his front paw to the top of the cage.

I looked up and saw that there were several pieces of yellow paper pasted on the cage, with strange patterns drawn on them, so I didn't hesitate to go up and tear them off, and was about to turn my head to ask what to do next, but found that the cage was empty?!

"Thank you little hero for the rescue" A soft voice came from beside him, and when he turned his head, it was a slim and glamorous girl!

I panicked, and before I had time to react, I came up with a kiss from the other party, and suddenly I was full of fragrance and six gods......

"This is a small thank-you gift, and it will be a long time to come, and it will be a good reward if you have a fate!" the girl whispered as she leaned into her arms.

"This ...... It's not necessary, anything else, something else will be saved!" I was already incoherent in my panic.

According to this method, all the cages around the bonfire were released, and in an instant five or six rare birds and beasts gathered together to thank me, I smiled embarrassedly and scratched my head, and then said: "Don't thank you, you leave quickly, just, only later......"

"Little hero rest assured" Haohu illusioned girl said: "We have always been far away from people, and we have no intention of bothering others, and we will definitely not bother humans in the future."

I nodded reassuringly, shook my head and said, "No, no, I didn't mean that, I want to say that you should leave quickly, don't be caught again in the future, let's go!"

"Little hero!" Bliss Flapped its wings and landed on my shoulder, whispering, "We're all gone, how will you explain to the others after dawn?"

"This ......" looked at a pile of empty cages, and felt really embarrassed, but still insisted and said: "You don't care about this, they won't do anything to me after all, just leave quickly"

"Good brother, don't be afraid" I saw the child called the goblin come forward and jump around the bonfire, and in a blink of an eye, the fox in the cage was lying on his stomach as it was, and the Bliss Desolate Soul was also gorgeously locked in the cage, and there was still a child sleeping honestly in the transparent cover...... Nothing has changed.

"In this way, you won't find it for a while," said the little one, as he stood in front of him, and said in a milky voice.

"It's a good way" The fox girl walked up to her and whispered: "The little hero doesn't seem to be all the way with them, just get out as soon as possible after dawn, as long as the illusion is not exposed, it should be safe."

I nodded happily and said, "Okay, that's without further ado, everyone leave quickly, it's not good to be discovered by the night vigil in a while."

After several desolate spirits thanked me one after another, they dispersed in the night, and as soon as the goblin turned his head, half of his body sank into the earth, and waved at me: "Good brother, goodbye" and completely sank into the earth and disappeared.

The Bliss Desolate Spirit stood on my shoulder and whispered, "Good man, good reward in the end," and then flapped its wings, rose into the air, circled overhead, and flew away.

I smiled and waved my hand, watched it leave, and when I turned around again, the fox girl was still leaning in front of me, so I anxiously urged: "Why don't you leave?"

The fox girl leaned up again and leaned into my arms, and whispered: "The essence is warm and warm, the little fox has never met such an ignition person since he cultivated, if the time is not in a hurry, he is really reluctant to leave......"

Then the cheek was given a fragrant kiss, such a glamorous girl hugged in her arms, warm nephrite, exhaled like an orchid, although she knew that she was a fox illusion, but she was still restless, completely confused, I don't know what to do.

Seeing my stunned expression, the girl covered her mouth and smiled, and asked softly: "The coming day is long, dare to ask what the little hero is called?"

"I ......" hesitated for a moment, and I didn't know whether to say that Yang Zhao was still a moon and a thousand yangs, but when he thought about it, since he was in an adventure, he said strange things, so he said: "The family name is Qianyang, and the moon is Qianyang"

The girl withdrew half a step, still covering her mouth and chuckling and said, "The little fox has written it down, and the great grace will be reported again in the future."

A wisp of green smoke curled and dispersed, and no trace could be found......

Looking at the empty night in front of me, I felt very relieved in my heart, maybe just like humans, the desolate souls are not all ferocious beasts, and the murderers of human beings are several times better than them.

"The general is really a bodhisattva, I'm afraid that the fox's kindness, the general cares the most" A gentle and familiar voice came from behind him, it was Wu Zhen.
