"Here it is—"

When he opened his eyes, Li Yunuan was stunned.

I saw that the sky was cloudless, and below me were hills covered with fine grass, the soft wind blew through, with the heat of midsummer, and the village husbands and women could be seen in the distance working hard, most of the golden wheat fields had been harvested, and the naughty children on the ridges were playing with mud with their bare butts.

A very ordinary harvest work map.

However, we are still in the Valley of Brimstone, how can we be in the blink of an eye-

She felt that her mind was a little confused, and when she raised her head, she saw that Qian An'an beside her was also dumbfounded, staring at this most ordinary but least unlikely scene.

"Money...... An An, I'm ...... We must have fallen into the phantom array...... Right?"

Li Yunuan was a little embarrassed, although she was a disciple under Feng Luo's name, and according to her seniority, she could indeed be regarded as Qian An'an's uncle, but ...... Not only are they of the same age, but their cultivation is also better than Qian An'an, and the "teacher and nephew" are really unspeakable.

On the other hand, Qian An'an was calm and said, "Uncle Mingjian." When I woke up, I suspected that I had fallen into the phantom array. But everything is ...... here It's too real, whether it's the scent of wheat or the viscosity of the earth, it doesn't look like a phantom array, but like a real village, in which the demon incarnates. ”

"Phantom as a mortal?"

Li Yunuan repeated in a low voice, what happened in the past few days was too bizarre, and she instinctively wanted to ask Yuehua for advice. However, Yuehua, who used to always chatter uninvited, has been uncharacteristically silent lately. The sea of knowledge is unprecedentedly pure, and it is so pure that it is worrying.

The wind blows, bringing a chill.

A bolt of lightning slipped through her mind, and she blurted out: "An An, you check, is there anything missing?"

"Is there something missing?" Qian An'an was a little confused, but seeing that Li Yunuan's face was serious, she had always respected her teacher, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she checked carefully, and there was nothing missing from all over her body, and even after counting the things in the Qiankun bag one by one, she said: "There is not a single thing missing." ”

"Is there really anything missing?"

Li Yunuan asked rhetorically, always feeling that he had lost something after being pulled into this space, but he couldn't remember what he had lost.

Qian Anan then checked up and down again, was sure that it was correct, and said: "Nothing is missing, don't be suspicious, little uncle-wait a minute, I'll ...... We did lose something!"

"Lost something!"

Li Yunuan asked eagerly, Qian An'an's face had long since lost its leisure, she looked flustered, her face was bruised and her brows were furrowed, and she said, "I can't feel the flow of aura in the meridians...... Repair for ...... The cultivation is all gone!"

Really!

Li Yunuan's whole body went limp, and he sat heavily on the ground.

It's a trap here.

"What to do!"

Asking Qian An'an is also asking yourself.

Qian An'an was already more depressed than ever, she sat on the ground, lowered her head, and sobbed: "...... What should I do, uncle, my cultivation is ...... I...... I'm a waste...... We're going to be eaten by demons......"

"Eat it?"

Repeating Qian An'an's worries, Li Yunuan noticed another strangeness.

Her cultivation disappeared the moment she entered this space, but there was a rich spiritual power floating in the air. Because it was a waste physique that could barely absorb spiritual power, it didn't feel too much abnormal. But Qian An'an's overreaction made her realize that the situation might be even worse.

“...... Can you feel the aura?"

Listening to Uncle Shi's inquiry, Qian Anan stopped crying for a while, raised his head, and said, "Yes, it is very rich, but it can't enter the body at all." ”

Can't get in? That's the same situation as me. Don't......

A thought slipped through his mind, and Li Yunuan instinctively realized that he seemed to have grasped the laws of this world, but because he was not confident, that thought was fleeting.

No matter how miserable the current situation is, it is also true that he can't feel cultivation, Li Yunuan stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and said to Qian An'an: "The matter has come to this, let's contact the villagers here first and see if we can find some clues." ”

"......," Qian Anan was silent for a while, and said, "That's the only way." ”

......

......

A calm and peaceful mountain village with simple villagers and lovely children.

This is the only conclusion that Li Yunuan and Qian Anan came to after contacting the villagers.

When they first saw them dressed in gorgeous clothes and delicate fabrics, and their words and deeds were very different, the villagers showed a certain degree of wariness. But when they claimed that they were lost and wanted to spend the night, they immediately became enthusiastic and invited them to the village chief's house to sit down and drink tea.

Because their attitudes changed too quickly, and the tea was indeed turbid, Li Yunuan and Qian Anan took the tea, but did not drink it. They sat on the bench with the village chief's wife and gossiped about their daily routines, the old woman tied the soles of her shoes and told the two little girls about the trivial things in the village, the hens of the east family gave birth to double yolk eggs, and the donkeys in the west village gave birth to cubs last month.

It was the summer harvest, and at dusk, the sturdy men and women came back with the wheat stalks, and the dust could not hide the simple smiling faces, and the earthen walls and huts were piled up with golden ears of wheat, and the older children picked up the broken wheat grains that fell on the ground, chewed them, rinsed them with clean water, and blew them into bubbles to show off all over the village.

Life in the village is hard, even the village chief has only two more tiles than the walls of ordinary villagers. Because of the distinguished guests, today we specially moved out the lacquered log square table for worshipping ancestors, put four benches that were also unpainted, and lit two smoky soybean oil lamps.

Three generations of the family have arrived.

The distinguished guests sat at the top, the village elders and his wife sat on the left side, the four sons of the village chief occupied the other two sides, and the four daughters-in-law and eight or nine children all stood in a row in the corner with bowls.

There are three dishes on the table, a bowl of stewed fat meat with green vegetables, the fat meat is stacked high, the oil is bright and gratifying, a plate of pickles and fried beans, and a plate of pickled and salted radish, the black pottery bowl is full of freshly beaten wheat rice, under the oil lamp, the yellow is clear and bright.

Li Yunuan and Qian Anan were a little restless, the excessive grandeur of the villagers, and the poor but strange atmosphere that permeated the whole village, all made them feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

It's just that it's hard to refuse, but I'm embarrassed.

After thinking about it, Li Yunuan still lowered his head, ready to cook seriously, and Yuehua's long-lost sneer sounded in the sea of knowledge.

("If you eat something from Taoyuan Township, you will never be able to leave.") ”）

"Huh?!"

The sudden sound made Li Yunuan's fingers tremble, and the stoneware bowl almost fell to the ground.

In the sea of knowledge, the initiator is shaking a fan from nowhere.

("If you want to leave this place, you must not eat the things here, you can't eat a sip of water and a grain of rice!")

For what?

asked in a muffled voice, but the moonlight in the sea was silent again.

Li Yunuan took advantage of no one's attention, secretly stabbed Qian An'an with her arm, motioned her to put down the wheat rice, raised her head, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, it's just that our sisters are dedicated to Daobigu and don't eat grains." These foods are not easy to come by, so let's give them to the children. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and distributed the bright wheat rice in the bowl to the bowls of the children by the wall. Although Qian Anan didn't understand why Li Yunuan suddenly spoke like this, he knew that this place was strange, so he immediately got up after him and distributed the wheat rice to the grandchildren of the village chief.

Several children of the village chief's family are all at the age of pulling out the tall, and when they see the yellow and clear wheat rice, their eyes are suddenly brighter than the wick of the oil lamp, although the village chief and his wife refuse one by one, the children are drooling, pretending not to understand the meaning of the elders, and accept the gifts of the fairy sisters with joy.

Seeing that they really had no intention of eating and drinking, and had also finished distributing the food, the village chief got up helplessly and said, "Why don't you hurry up and thank the two fairy sisters!"

"Xie Lu, thank you, Sister Immortal. The children said in unison, and the joy on their faces could not be hidden.

The village chief said with a humble face: "Old and ignorant, I don't know that the distinguished guest is an immortal Gu Yu driving immortals, but we are negligent." Mother-in-law, go and wash out the cup of ancestor worship at home, and dig out the jar of wine under the locust tree——"

The old woman replied repeatedly, and Li Yunuan hurriedly stopped: "The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and our cultivation time is still short. The old man is kind, we can only understand it. Please also sit back on the top of the lady. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

The village chief whispered, and the tail note dragged out a little unnaturally, but unfortunately the oil lamp was dim, and he couldn't see the color change clearly, so he only felt that the air was a little colder for no reason.

Since the distinguished guest said that there was no need for rice or tea, and the village chief was not ambiguous, he immediately asked his wife to bring the bowl of stuffy fat with green vegetables and vegetables to it, and the family of more than a dozen people ate two plates of pickles.

It's just that the adults are willing to eat, but the children can't do this frankness, when serving the bowl to eat, their eyes are always aimed at the bamboo cabinet in the dark, which makes Li Yunuan and Qian Anan feel guilty, and in order to ease the atmosphere, they forced them to say some polite words with good feng shui and outstanding people. The village chief is also good at words, and immediately picks up the topic, talking and laughing, and quickly dispels the embarrassment.

But in addition to the enthusiasm, there is always a kind of rusty stiffness that lingers.

After eating, the little daughter-in-law stepped forward and invited the guests to take a bath in the stove. Li Yunuan got Yuehua's instructions, how could he still make good use of the grass and trees here, although his whole body was sticky, he had to resist the urge to take a bath, and he meditated under the pretext of casually greeting and resting with Qian An'an.

......

......

Enter the room and close the door.

"That bowl of rice just now is so fragrant...... I almost ate it...... Thank you Uncle for being vigilant!"

Qian An'an said with palpitations, she was born in a wealthy family, she had never eaten vulgar food such as wheat rice, and after entering the Ten Thousand Origin Sect, she even disdained the delicious food in the world. But when the bowl of wheat rice was brought to her face, the hunger she had not felt for a long time actually surged, and if Li Yunuan hadn't stopped her in time, she would have eaten most of it.

Li Yunuan didn't dare to take credit, and said vaguely: "I'...... Ever since I stepped into the village, I felt that there was something abnormal about this place, but there was nothing wrong with it, so I suspected that something was most common but we missed it. ”

Qian An'an agreed: "All such isolated villages are extremely hostile to outsiders, and they are uncharacteristically enthusiastic about us, and they must have other ideas. ”

Li Yunuan said: "Ancient books say that there are some strange places in the world, where crops and water cannot be eaten, and if you eat them, you will be restrained, and you will never be able to go out again." I suspect the same is true here. When the village chief heard that we were not eating, his face became very strange for a moment. ”

"That'...... Night—"

Qian Anan couldn't help but reach into his arms and stroke the mandarin duck blade handed over by Su Hongye.

Li Yunuan pondered for a while, and finally said: "Although I haven't seen their malicious intentions so far, it's better to be careful in everything." ”

"Yes. ”

Qian Anan nodded, and the two took out the futon and prepared to meditate, when they suddenly felt a shaking on the ground.

Shaking?

Qian Anan and Li Yunuan glanced at each other, and finally Qian Anan pulled out the dagger, and stabbed the dark ground with courage, and when the blade was pulled out, it actually brought out a blood-red liquid!

"Huh?"
