The road into the village is overgrown with weeds, most of the houses on both sides of the road have collapsed, and occasionally a few houses stand in the ruins, and the whole village has no cooking smoke, no laughter, just a deathly silence, and there seems to be a burst of murder hidden under the silence.

Under the coercion of the cold air, Zhang Xian shrank and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, this village has long become an uninhabited village......

Lan Xin looked at the dilapidated Gaojia Village, remembering the situation and encounter when she and Xia Yulong first arrived in Longgu Town, her heart couldn't help but tighten, and she also said: "This village is so quiet that people are scared, we have to be careful." ”

Xia Yulong's face was serious, he thought that he would find a comfortable place to settle in Gaojiao Village, so that they could rest and recuperate, but it was impossible to see the current situation, and he didn't know what kind of trouble he would encounter.

He drew the shovel from his waist and walked lightly into the archway.

The village is as dilapidated as Longgu Town, and even the ruins are about to be lost in the dust, the towering houses are crumbling, and the occasional white bones are exposed in the weeds.

Only the sound of "crackling" was heard, and several houses had become overwhelmed under the pressure of the snow, and then they were disturbed by the heat emitted by Xia Yulong's body, and they all collapsed with a bang.

A butterfly effect ensued, and all the houses in the village fell into the rubble, including the arch at the entrance of the village. The devastated village of Tall Legs was permanently lost at the foot of the mountains.

Zhang Xian shouted repeatedly: "This ...... This, we have a grudge against these houses, or whatever, we all collapsed when we came. ”

Lan Xin also shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I wanted to find a better room to rest, but it seems that I can only sleep on the streets, this weather is very ghostly, and I don't know when the snow will fall again." ”

After a baptism of heavy snow, the dark gray sky pressed down on the entire earth, I am afraid that it will soon enter the night, Xia Yulong and the three of them are already hungry, shivering in the cold wind, and everyone's face is covered with gloomy clouds.

Xia Yulong was even more anxious in his heart, he thought, it is not a way to consume it like this, the bodies and bones of the two girls are afraid that they will not be able to bear it, especially Xian'er, the ghost poison and cold have not yet healed, no matter how to find a place for her to settle down first and then think about it in the long run......

He looked at the sky, looked around again, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place to stay in the village, so come with me, there must be a post station nearby." With that, he pulled Zhang Xian and Lan Xin out of the village, and ran along the road next to the village to the southeast.

Out of the village, the snow began to fly all over the sky again, and it fell more happily.

Coming to the main road, the tight strings in Xia Yulong's heart relaxed slightly, and he smiled: "You don't know, this stilt village is too resentful, if we spend the night in the village, I'm afraid we will be entangled with the evil ghosts in the village again." ”

Zhang Xianying said: "What my brother said is right, I have suffered the loss of those evil ghosts in the leopard head shop, and when we encounter these unclean places, we will try to avoid them." ”

Lan Xin asked: "Brother, you said that there is too much resentment in the village, these people must have died unjustly, who did it, could it be that the group of people in black can't do it?" ”

Zhang Xian snorted and said angrily: "I'm afraid that the group of people in black are coming for that ancient book again, hmph, in order to keep the ancient book for themselves, they will do whatever it takes, and they can't do anything lacking in morality." ”

Xia Yulong pondered for a moment and asked: "I think the extent of the damage of this Gaojiao Village is at least several years earlier than Longgu Town, if Li Mufeng is in a hurry to get this ancient book, why did he start at Longgu Town after a few years?" ”

Zhang Xian said again: "This is very easy to explain, although the Eight Swords of the Gentleman are not enough to power the Central Plains in the rivers and lakes, and their reputation is also well-known in the border of the Central Plains, so isn't Li Mufeng afraid of three points?" Li Mufeng is really shameless, when Uncle Shi and they left Qiankun to chase the old demon of Yin Mountain, they attacked the old folks of Longgu Town, if it weren't for the protection of Grandpa and Uncle Shi, so that the guy did not dare to act rashly, I am afraid that Longgu Town would have been ruined a long time ago. ”

Xia Yulong nodded and said: "What Xian'er said is not unreasonable, this ancient book really makes that guy greedy, he is so spoiled by the common people, he will definitely be punished...... But he faintly felt that this matter was quite strange, and he couldn't say what a strange way to do it for a while.

Lan Xin stroked Xia Yulong's thin clothes, and said distressedly: "Brother, you are wearing so little clothes in the cold this day, isn't it cold?" ”

Zhang Xian patted the thick snow on Xia Yulong's shoulders and said, "Brother, put on this coat you gave me, don't get sick." ”

Xia Yulong patted his chest and smiled: "Don't give it to me, I'm fine, my body is tough, as long as you two are okay, brother, rest assured." ”

During this period of time, he faintly felt that there was a soft and warm true qi swimming in the seven meridians and eight veins in his body, and the true qi contained infinite potential.

Sometimes the snow flutters all over the sky, and sometimes it stops abruptly......

Xia Yulong and the three of them walked forward in the snow, talking and laughing, completely forgetting the cold, and before they knew it, they had walked a long way, and they were getting farther and farther away from Gaojiao Village.

The twilight gradually sank, and the fog ahead was heavy, and it was about to be swallowed up by darkness in a short time, and there was a "whining" sound from the great sky not far away.

Xia Yulong was overjoyed and said, "Xian'er, Xin'er, hurry, the second child has discovered the post station in front." He dragged Zhang Xian and Lan Xin and strode forward.

I saw a triangular black shadow looming in front of me, it was getting late, and the haze was heavy, and I couldn't see what it was.

Da Tianer's cry came from the black shadow, Xia Yulong naturally understood in his heart, the black shadow was the roof of the post station, and when he got closer, Da Tianer was already waiting in front of the post station.

This is a simple post built on the side of the main road, the post station is not large, only the size of a hall house, the walls around it are made of mud, most of the walls have become broken, the two door panels have fallen to the ground, the roof is a triangular mortise and tenon structure, and the two sides are covered with thick thatch, which is covered with snow.

The mangers and stables around the inn were all available, and the mast standing at the door was gone, leaving only a pit that was about to be filled with snow.

Xia Yulong and the three of them couldn't wait to run into the post station with Da Tianer, only to see that the four corners of the post station were still stacked with grain grass for feeding horses.

Near the window was a rusty brazier, surrounded by several wooden stools, and the cold wind swept through the cracks in the doorway, broken windows, and broken walls, and made the mortise and tenon joints on the top "squeak".

From time to time, dust fell like silk threads above the head.

Zhang Xian looked at the roof and asked, "Brother, the wind is strong outside, this post station won't collapse, right?" ”

Xia Yulong looked around and replied: "Don't worry, the roof of this mortise and tenon joint is pulled by each other, but it is firm, it is a little shabby here, it is much better than sleeping in the wild." ”

The three of them lifted up the door panel on the ground and installed it on the door frame, and then used grain grass to block all the ventilation gaps in the house, and after working for a while, the house was much cleaner, and the biting cold wind was blocked outside, but the air was still condensed with bone-penetrating cold.
