The way back was quite smooth, and after walking for two days, they came across a thatched hut.

Song Shiyin, who was far away, felt that something was wrong, not because there were people in the wilderness, but because she felt the slightest demonic energy.

Demon is the back of the Tao, since the birth of the Tao, the demon energy has been produced along with the aura, and the aura and the demon qi restrain each other, and one eliminates the other.

Although this world is downgrading, and the aura is becoming more and more scarce, this process is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and the Void Domain is the domain with the strongest aura among the nine domains, why does the demonic energy appear?

Seeing that Wen Xuan, who had the highest cultivation among the people, did not react, Song Shiyin temporarily put his doubts in his heart.

"What's up ahead, thatched hut?" Sun Yao stretched out his head and took a closer look.

"How can there be people in this wilderness? Is it a casual practice? Bian Tingyu asked.

"That's right, there are also secluded cultivators in the Nine Domains, they don't participate in disputes, they only seek the Great Dao." Wen Yu nodded and replied.

"The cultivation of casual cultivation is even more difficult, they don't have the backing of the sect, they can only rely on themselves, but they are also more freewheeling." Wen Xuan's tone is admiring.

Without pause, they continued to hurry, and the thatched hut was the place where they had to pass.

Getting closer, Wen Qiu finally felt that something was wrong.

He paused and stretched out his hand to stop the crowd.

"Wait!" Wen Qiu frowned.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Wen?" Du Yunxi asked.

"Something isn't right."

Hearing this, everyone's nerves tensed, and they looked left and right, observing their surroundings, but they didn't find anything wrong.

But in order not to disturb Wen Xuan's thinking, everyone did not speak.

"There's a demonic aura." Wen Xuan carried a hint of uncertainty.

"Demonic energy? Is it the brown hyena we encountered earlier? Su Wenhong asked.

"Spirit beasts will become fierce beasts after being infected by demonic energy, and at that time, their strength will increase greatly, and there will be black and red demonic qi overflowing from their bodies, which will be easier to detect. And when monks are infected by demonic energy, they will arouse their own desires, which is often their obsession, they either become greedy, or become tyrannical, or become only known about killing, and people who are not close to them are not easy to find out at all. Wen Qiu explained.

"It's too wrong, the Xiangxu Domain where we are located is the place where the aura is the strongest in the Nine Domains, and it stands to reason that the demonic qi will not appear. Even if it appears and infects the monks, there will be no demonic qi splitting, let alone being detected by us. Wen Xuan wrinkled his eyebrows, puzzled.

"Could it be a beast?" Su Wenhong asked.

"Not really." Wen Qiu shook his head, and he continued: "Let's go over and have a look, everyone be careful."

The crowd walked towards the thatched hut, which was quiet and no sound came out.

"Crunch—" The door of the thatched hut was pushed open from the inside.

Everyone paused, as if facing a great enemy, staring at the thatched hut.

Out of the thatched hut came a little girl, about five or six years old, fair-skinned, with loose hair, and a shorter trouser that did not fit.

When the little girl saw so many people coming to the door, she shrunk back, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and then asked, "Big brother, big sister, are you here to find grandpa?"

Du Yunxi showed a gentle smile, she stepped forward, squatted down to look at the little girl, and asked, "Little sister, are you the only one at home?"

The little girl was visibly nervous, she lowered her head and whispered, "Yes...... Yes", and then plucked up the courage, raised his head and stared at Du Yunxi, his tone was firm, and said, "Sister, Ping An is willing to go with you."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

Du Yunxi was stunned for a moment and said, "Little sister, we are not here to take you away."

Ping An was suddenly anxious, she trotted in front of Du Yunxi, pulled Du Yunxi's sleeve, and said eagerly: "Sister, Ping An is willing to go with you, Ping An can sell a lot of spirit stones, Ping An is willing to go with you, sister, you can take Ping An away."

Song Shiyin in the back felt something wrong when she heard this, why would a little girl beg them to sell her?

Wen Qiu seemed to remember something, he clenched his fists, tilted his head, and didn't look at the little girl again.

Sun Yao quietly asked Wen Yu: "Senior Brother Wen, what's the situation?"

And everybody threw their heads together.

Wen Qiu sighed and said: "Some monks have tyrannical temperaments, they can't afford to provoke those who are stronger than them, and they can't afford to provoke those who have the support of the big sects behind them, so they will find some loose cultivators or mortals with poor talent and low strength......"

Speaking of which, Wen Yu didn't want to go any further.

But it was clear that the crowd understood.

Bian Tingyu frowned and asked, "Is there no one to take care of it?" Let these people do things that hurt nature? ”

Wen Yu sighed again and did not speak.

After a moment, Wen Xuan spoke with difficulty, and said, "Naturally no one dares to provoke a strong monk, besides," Speaking of this, Wen Xuan paused, and then continued to talk about the truth of the immortal cultivation world: "For the monks of the Nine Domains, improving their strength, attaining the Great Dao of Enlightenment, and seeking immortality are what they are pursuing."

The implication is that it is none of their business, hanging high, and each house sweeps the snow in front of the door.

"That's not right at all!" Bian Tingyu retorted.

This is really wrong, what Song Shiyin has to do is to remove these wrong things and put everything back on track.

Wen Xuan didn't speak again, and everyone fell silent.

There was a new movement between Du Yunxi and Ping'an.

"Sister, Ping An can be a servant, a room, or a medicine man, Ping An can endure hardships, what you ask Ping An to do, Ping An will do, Ping An is very obedient." Ping An cried out anxiously.

Ping'an said in a childish voice that she didn't understand, she only knew that this was what those people told her grandfather every time.

Du Yunxi was furious, through the room, the medicine man, who told Ping'an this?

"Ping'an only asks you not to hurt grandpa anymore, after Ping'an sells it, you will be able to give you a lot of spirit stones."

"Please, let Grandpa go! Peace is willing to go with you! Ping An suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to everyone.

Du Yunxi was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug him safely.

The crowd was also speechless with anger and was about to step forward.

"Bang!" With a bang, the door of the thatched hut was slammed open, and a figure stumbled out.

He pushed Du Yunxi away and protected Ping An in his arms.

Du Yunxi fell backwards, and Wen Xuan stepped forward quickly, and quickly held her up.

In front of him was an old man, he looked seventy or eighty years old, his body was bent, his clothes were in tatters, and none of the exposed skin was intact, and his right eye was only an empty socket, and his face was full of scars, which were the marks of burns.

"You are not allowed to take away your peace! I will not let you take away your peace! The old man held Ping'an firmly in his arms, he trembled his body, and said word by word out of breath.

The moment the old man came out, Song Shiyin suddenly felt bad, she had already seen that the old man in front of her was not infected by demonic qi at all, but demonic qi gathered in his body, and he was about to become a monster, but at this time he was still sanity.

The traces on the old man's body made it possible to guess at a glance what he had experienced before, and Song Shiyin was a little sad.

Everyone was in such a mood.

"How?" Tan Leshan muttered.

Du Yunxi got up with Wen Xuan's support, she looked at the old man and said, "Old man, we didn't want to take Ping An away, we just passed by and came to have a look."

"Whew! Do you think I'll believe it? How many times have you been here? A spirit stone is higher than a one! The old man scoffed.

"Do you think I'm not going to be able to do it? Do you think I'm dead? So I want to come over and forcibly take away peace! I won't do what you want! The old man spoke fiercely.

Du Yunxi kept explaining, but the old man obviously didn't listen.

Ping An got out of the old man's arms, she raised her head and said to the old man, "Grandpa, I am willing to go with them."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"With the spirit stone, you can treat grandpa, and grandpa will no longer be laughed at by those people, and he will not be beaten and bullied by those people. Grandpa doesn't have to go up the mountain to pick spiritual plants on a cold day, and grandpa doesn't have to come back with injuries every time, I want grandpa to be alive, I want grandpa to be safe......" Ping'an said while crying.

Infected by emotions, Du Yunxi's eyes also flickered with tears.

"Ping'an, grandpa just wants you to grow up peacefully, and you don't have to worry about anything else." The old man gently stroked Ping'an's head.

"Hurry up! Although I only have the cultivation of the Qi refining period, old man, if I blow up my dantian, I am afraid that you people will not be able to bear it! The old man's momentum rose, and he raised his head and stared coldly at everyone with his left left eye.

At this point, Wen Xuan didn't notice the source of the demonic energy, and he beckoned everyone to leave for the time being.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, the old man entered the thatched hut with peace, and the thatched hut stood there quietly, blending in with the surrounding mountains and rivers.

"I'm still a little worried." Wen Yu said.

"Before I got close to the thatched hut, I clearly felt the presence of demonic energy, but then suddenly disappeared without a trace."

"Senior Brother Wen, could it be that your feelings are wrong?" Sun Yao scratched his head and asked.

"No, I used a magic weapon the second time." As he spoke, Wen Yu took out a stick of incense from the storage bag.

"This thing is called the magic incense, it is ignited with spiritual power, and if you feel the demonic energy, the magic incense will be extinguished. I secretly took it out just now, and the spiritual fire on the magic incense flickered and burned, which was very abnormal. ”

"This demonic qi may be afraid of us coming, secretly hiding, waiting for an opportunity to move." Su Wenhong guessed.

"Then we just left, didn't we give the demonic qi a chance to take advantage of it? What if it harms the old man and his peace? Bian Tingyu said anxiously.

"We still have to determine the source of the demonic qi first, Senior Brother Wen, why don't we get closer and try again." Du Yunxi said.

"That's right, Senior Brother Wen, you have the highest cultivation among us, and we all listen to you." Sun Xiao agreed.

"Then let's keep up with them, and don't alarm them." Wen Yu nodded and said.

Then they turned back and walked towards the thatched hut.

About a quarter of an hour later, the crowd saw five or six people in front of the thatched hut in the distance.

Wen Zhao raised his hand to signal, and everyone found a place where they could hide their bodies and hid temporarily.

"I told you to go, why did you come back again?" The old man said impatiently.

"Grandpa, they're not the big brothers and sisters just now." Ping An said timidly.

"I can't see it, you old and young are quite sought-after, why, there are people who are robbing business?" The strong man who spoke was full of flesh and angry, which was very scary.

"Hahaha! Lao Jin, what you said, little girl, it's very scarce! "The man next to the strong man, lean and thin, with a sharp beak and monkey gills.

The other shrunk his head and stood behind the two.

The last one, a little further away from the trio, was playing with the knife, fingers pinching the tip of the knife and throwing it upwards, then catching it again.
