When Shen opened his eyes again, the sun was already shining under the sky.

He propped himself up with one hand, shook his somewhat dizzy head, felt the slight warmth in the breeze, and everything around him seemed to be as simple as just a night.

Shen Guo looked up at the sky, and the sunlight was a little dazzling. He subconsciously covered it with his palm, and looked around for others. However, there was no trace of anyone else everywhere as far as the eye could see, except for Dugu Nanqiao, who was still asleep on the side, all of them disappeared.

This sudden everything suddenly made Shen Jing sober up, he quickly got up, looked around, he was trying to find clues, but those people seemed to disappear out of thin air, not even the slightest trace. And everywhere he looked, in addition to the mountains behind him, there was also the strange village in the distance.

Many possibilities popped up in Shen Jing's mind, all good and bad, but none of them seemed to be able to explain the current situation. He stopped where he was, looking at the village in the distance where the smoke was still wafting, and he was stunned.

The white mud in his hand was still there, which made Shen feel a little relieved.

Nanqiao was still asleep, Shen Jing walked up to her and called softly, "Miss Dugu." ”

After he screamed a few times, Dugu Nanqiao, who was in a coma, opened his eyes quietly. When Nan Qiao saw Shen Jing as soon as she saw it, she subconsciously opened her eyes wide, looking at the figure that appeared in front of her, as if she hadn't reacted for a while.

"Shen... Shen Condition, what's wrong? Nan Qiao replied softly.

"Do you know where everyone else has gone?" Shen Jing looked at her and asked.

After hearing Shen Jing's words, Nan Qiao reacted. She was also like Shen Jing before, turning her head around to look for traces of other people, and the result can be imagined.

She looked at Shen Jing a little strangely, and asked worriedly, "Senior Sister Ciyin, where have they gone?" ”

Shen Jing looked at Nan Qiao, who was obviously unclear about the situation, and shook his head: "I don't know, when I wake up, you are the only one around." Miss Dugu, do you remember how you fell asleep last night? ”

Nan Qiao, who had already stood up, recalled for a moment, but except for a little drowsy head, he had no clue about anything else.

"I don't remember exactly, do you remember?" Nan Qiao asked back.

"Like you, I can't remember clearly, and that memory seems to have disappeared out of thin air." After Shen Jing finished speaking, his eyes looked into the distance, and Nan Qiao followed his gaze and looked over.

Aside from the mountains behind him, the only thing that could explain it was the village in the distance.

"Are we already in the enchantment?" Shen Kuang muttered to himself.

He thought about it for a long time, and felt that this was the only explanation that could be explained at the moment. However, why he and Nan Qiao stayed where they were, this question is still unclear.

Shen Jing turned to look at Nan Qiao, who was still a little confused, and in an instant, he saw the bamboo sword that Nan Qiao was carrying behind him, and he looked down at the white clay sword he planted in his hand again.

Shen suddenly remembered what Nan Qiao told him a long time ago, Nan Qiao once said that Bai Ni's original name was Qingwan, and the bamboo fungus in her hand was originally a pair. He didn't know if there was anything in it, and for a moment it was the only thing he could think of.

"So what do we do now? Senior Sister Ciyin, have they been teleported somewhere else? Nan Qiao heard Shen Qian's muttering, so he looked at him with his head down and asked in contemplation.

In fact, when Nan Qiao knew that Senior Sister Ciyin and the two seniors of Shimen were gone, a little inexplicable worry rose in her heart. But as soon as he saw Shen Qian, Nan Qiao seemed to have something to rely on, and the burden in his heart was reduced a lot, and at the moment he seemed to regard Shen Guo as his backbone.

Hearing this, Shen Guo looked at Nan Qiao, and then said slowly: "It's not okay to sit and wait here, I want to go to the village and have a look, there may be the answer we want." ”

Shen Jingben also wanted to ask Nan Qiao if he wanted to join him, after all, he didn't dare to guarantee what dangers would be on the road ahead. At this time, Nan Qiao was the first to ask.

"Can I come with you?" Nan Qiao's words were soft, as if she had forgotten that she was also a little master in the early stage of the Returning Yuan Realm.

"Of course, it's dangerous for you to be here alone."

After a brief exchange, the two slowly walked towards the village on the plain. Shen Jing walked ahead, and Nan Qiao followed. Maybe everything happened too suddenly, so the communication between the two of them along the way was probably related to what they forgot last night, and they were trying their best to recall, but they still had no clue.

Both Shen Jing and Nan Qiao knew that it was impossible for others to leave them alone. If the worst-case scenario is to see if the rest of the people are all poisoned, why should the two of them be left alone?

Shen Kuang knew that although he and Nan Qiao were not top masters, with so many people last night, it was impossible for anyone to charm them unknowingly. So Shen guessed that there were two possibilities. Either they are in the enchantment now, and the others have been teleported to different places, and he and Nan Qiao will be teleported to the same place because of fate. Another possibility is that other people set off first due to various uncontrollable factors.

Whatever the possibility, it must be related to the Fu Xuan Sword. There were too many strange things along the way, and if it weren't for Shen Jing knowing that he was not in a dream at the moment, he would probably associate this with the fantasy world.

Thinking of this, Shen Jing suddenly thought of the jade note that Jiang Ning gave him at the beginning, which had the breath of the rest of the people attached to it.

However, to his disappointment, there was no reaction on the jade note, not even a breath.

Nan Qiao, who was a little behind, said a little lonely after seeing the jade note in Shen Kuang's hand: "There is no reaction on my jade note. ”

Shen Guo only thought of this jade note now, what does the breath of the rest of the people on the jade note mean, he and He Nanqiao are very clear.

Nan Qiao looked at Shen Jing and asked tentatively with a slight cry: "Them, Senior Sister Ciyin and Senior Uncle..."

Shen Guo looked at Nan Qiao, who was about to cry, and was a little unbearable, so he slowly stopped.

From the perspective of cultivation, Nan Qiao is not inferior to any of his peers, and even surpasses it. But from another angle, she is just a woman. Although he was born in the General's Mansion, there has been no large-scale southern expedition or northern expedition on the border over the years, except for small fights, and bloodshed and sacrifice have not occurred for many years, so for Nan Qiao, death is a very terrible thing, especially the death of the people around him.

And at this point, the same is true for Shen Qian. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, this was what was reflected on the jade note at the moment. He looked at Nan Qiao, who had tears rolling in the corners of his eyes, and he wanted to be comforted, so his tone was very soft.

"Miss Dugu, don't worry, strange things have been happening since we entered the Qinling Mountains, maybe this jade note is gone. If you think about it again, if Senior Sister Ciyin and the others really met with an accident, the murderer would not have let the two of us leave unscathed. ”

Nan Qiao listened to his Shen Jing words and gradually stopped choking. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Shen Guan and said with rain: "Really? ”

"Really!" Shen Jing looked at her and said firmly.

Even Shen Guo was not sure, but at this time, he must let Dugu Nanqiao calm down first.

"Let's go! I have a hunch that the answer we want is right up front. ”

Nan Qiao followed the direction of Shen Qian's finger and looked at the outline of the village that had become clearer and clearer in the distance, and for a while there was no other way but to believe in Shen Guo.

The two continued to walk one after the other, Nan Qiao looked at Shen Jing's broad back, and for a moment she thought of the past again, thinking of the young man who held the sword and was reluctant to fall, obviously just a young man of the same age as herself, but why could he provoke a thousand sorrows on his shoulders.

Nan Qiao didn't know, but he didn't ask.

The two continued on their way, and soon the village was in sight.

Shen Kuang and Jiang Ning stood on a small dirt slope not far away, looking at the village in front of them. The village is not large, with only a few dozen eaves, and it looks very quiet in the detour of the sunset. When the two of them entered their eyes, they didn't see any figures at the moment, and Ciyin and Jiang Ning were nowhere to be found.

The two of them paused here for a long time.

Not long after, the sound of children reading could be heard from one of the eaves in the distance near the front.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. Leap more than the age of adulthood, the law Lu tunes the yang. ”

The sound of Lang Lang's book came into the ears of Shen Jing and Nan Qiao a little abruptly, and the two looked at each other, not knowing why there was the sound of children reading here.

Nan Qiao knew the content of the children's reading, she looked at Shen Jing and said slowly: "This is the content of the "Thousand Character Text", it is a Mongolian reading book that came from Nanliang many years ago, and it is said that it was written by a freeman named Zhou Xinsi in Nanliang. ”

The two of them continued to move forward, and the sound of the children reading gradually became louder.

When they reached the outskirts of the village, the children's voices grew quieter when they heard another old, loud voice coming from the eaves.

"Two people from afar, please come in!"

The unknown old man spoke word by word, Shen Jing was suddenly startled, and subconsciously protected Nan Qiao behind him.

He looked at the somewhat dilapidated village gate not far away, and did not move forward, not a single step.

After a while, it seemed that he had invisibly seen Shen Kuang's footsteps, and the old voice sounded again, only this time, the old man did not pass the sound transmission technique, and then Kankan walked out of the eaves, stood on the handrail, and stood under the eaves not far from Shen Kuang and Nan Qiao.

And with him came out several children of different ages, and it was from these children that I thought that the sound of reading came from Fangcai.

The old man saw Shen Jing's vigilant move and smiled lightly. In the next second, he waved his hand in the air, and several different scenes were displayed in front of several people.

That is, the others who disappeared. They actually came to their respective villages like Shen Jing and Nan Qiao, but unlike them, there were no children or old people.

The old man seemed to see the doubts in Shen Jing's heart, and said softly: "They are in the enchantment, and you are not there. ”

The old man's hair was gray, and even his eyebrows and beard were white. He was dressed in a green robe, his posture was ethereal, and his face was radiant, like a master of the world with fairy wind and bones, although the old man slightly solved the doubts in Shen Jing's heart, but Shen Jing still did not let down his guard.

Shen Guo glanced at the old man a few times, and then looked at the children standing behind him. The children were a little scared, so they all hid behind the old man, poking their heads out and looking at Shen Jing and Nan Qiao.

I don't know if it was destined in the dark, or if I felt something, Shen Jing saw a little girl hidden behind the old man at a glance. In particular, the little girl has a special feeling that Shen is familiar with.

Shen Jing closed his eyes and pondered, but after a moment, he realized that it was sword intent.

The little girl's petite body seemed to hide endless sword intent, as if a sword embryo stood there, which made Shen Jing can't help but take a few more looks. The little girl seemed to feel Shen Jing's gaze, and she was a little frightened and hid behind the old man.

The most strange thing for Shen Jing was that the sword intent circulating on this little girl's body was exactly the same as the sword intent that permeated them all the way, as if this little girl was the body of Fu Xuan's sword.
