The moment he was swept by the old priest's gaze, Jiang Tang only felt as if an electric current was passing through his body, his scalp was numb, his breathing was short, and he had the illusion that she had seen through everything in a trance.

She subconsciously moved her body, hid behind Xiao Yinhan, and lowered her head slightly.

The conversation between the two continued.

He asked her how she knew who he was.

The old priest said gently: "In the past thirty years, only two people have left here. ”

The old man's gaze was gentle and kind, and even a person like Xiao Yinhan, who was extremely vigilant, couldn't feel bad when facing her.

Until she asked, "So, son, what did you come back here for?" ”

Xiao Yinhan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was dry and hoarse: "I want to know, why did she give birth to me." ”

The old priest did not seem surprised when he heard this, and there seemed to be a trace of sorrow in his wise eyes.

The jade cane in her hand gently picked it up and put it down: "The answer you want, God will guide you, but it may require you to pay a price." ”

"The price?"

The old priest nodded, and there seemed to be a sigh in his tone that they didn't understand: "Everything has a price. Everyone is born with their own destiny. In this life, because of the consequences of future lives, your own problems can only be found by yourself. As for your background, you can stay here before you decide. ”

Xiao Yinhanjun's brows furrowed, listening to the old man's words in the clouds, he subconsciously wanted to say: Don't wait, he wants to know now.

Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled by the girl behind him, and Jiang Tang grabbed his mouth before him: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

With these words, the old priest's gaze fell on her again.

She nodded and smiled at her, then beckoned behind her, "Tongtong, you come over to entertain the guests." ”

-

“…… My name is Ya Litong, you can call me Tongtong. ”

The girl wearing the white robe of the Xueyi tribe has a particularly sweet little face, and she has a sweet smile on her face when she speaks, which makes people seem to be in a better mood.

In order to take care of Jiang Tang's speed, they did not walk fast, for fear that they would be embarrassed, and the enthusiastic girl introduced them to the layout of the village while walking.

After she finished introducing the house on the side of the road, which was said to be the village chief, Jiang Tang asked softly: "Tongtong, do you know anything about Yukana and A Yanmiao?" ”

In a word, it attracted the sideways glances of the men around him.

Knowing that Tang Tang was asking for himself, Xiao Yinhan's eyes softened a lot.

Tongtong shook his head: "I don't know much, when I was born, they had already left the village. ”

Jiang Tang was not surprised by this answer, and was prepared that it would not be so easy to get the answer.

"I only know that Yukana is the holy daughter of the Xueyi tribe, if she doesn't leave, she will take the position of the old priest in a hundred years and lead us down."

As she spoke, she made a unique gesture with her hands in front of her, and Jiang Tang guessed that this was some kind of etiquette of the Xueyi clan.

"As for Ayanmiu,"

The smile on the girl's face dissipated a little, and her gaze seemed to be hidden

Compassion: "She is a descendant of the Black Witch, and she exists to protect and defend the Holy Maiden." They have been inseparable since birth. ”

The heart "thumped" heavily, and Jiang Tang seemed to have caught something.

"Alright, here it is!"

Kiriki jumped forward like a rabbit, and the smile on his face was bright again.

Jiang Tang and the others found that they unconsciously came to a dark brown wooden house with a very similar style to the village, and the outer wall of the wooden house was carved with an ancient and mysterious frost flower totem.

"Thirty years ago, the saint insisted on leaving the village, and not long after she left, Ah Yanmiu also mysteriously disappeared."

Standing under the stairs in front of the wooden house, Kiritsu finished what he had just left unfinished.

However, it is said that she is missing, but everyone knows that she should have followed the saint and left.

After all, if you lose the guardian of the Holy Maiden, you will also lose the protection of the gods.

"This is the room where the saint once lived, after she left, no one has touched it here, but someone will clean it regularly, can you live here?"

Tong Tong approached and pushed the door open, turning his head to Jiang Tang behind him.

Xiao Yinhan looked at the rusty wind chimes on the door, didn't know what to think, and didn't speak.

Jiang Tang could only nod and thank: "Yes, thank you." ”

The little girl laughed again, and her voice was like a yellow bird: "No thanks, you are a relative of the "Holy Maiden", and you can be regarded as our own people." ”

is so cheerful and lively, and they are not treated differently because of their status as "intruders", but it makes people's hearts inexplicably heavy.

Jiang Tang took a breath lightly, suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and asked the question he wanted to ask on behalf of the man next to him: "Are 'saints' and 'witches' important to you?" ”

Tong Tong was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Jiang Tang to ask this.

But she still nodded slightly: "The Holy Maiden is the one who was personally chosen by the god to carry the century-old inheritance of the Xueyi clan. As long as she is there, she will be able to protect all of us. ”

If it's so important, why did she leave......

But the priest's mother-in-law also said that since the holy woman would leave, it must also be God's guidance. Therefore do not condemn yourselves. ”

The little girl's relaxed and cheerful voice flowed through her heart like a clear spring, which made the "comforted" person feel inexplicably complicated.

Jiang Tang just wanted to say something, when he heard a strange urging female voice outside:

"Tongtong, come out quickly!"

"Hey, Ah Yi seems to be calling me."

Tongtong looked out of the door, but he didn't see anything, so he could only briefly explain to Jiang Tang, asking them to rest first and go back by themselves.

Waiting for Jiang Tang to nod, she hurriedly ran out.

And as soon as she left, there were only two people left in the room.

"Lord ......"

"I want to go out for a walk and take a break."

From the moment he came to this village, Xiao Yinhan's mood was very heavy.

This heaviness reached its peak after coming to this room, which was said to be the room where his mother had lived.

Now he is in a gloomy and gloomy mood, and he just wants to find a place where no one is there and stay alone.

Jiang Tang looked at his obviously suppressed and dazed appearance, smiled gently, stretched out his hand to till the man's wet hair after the snowflakes melted, and said, "Okay, Lord Wang, go, I'll wait for you here." ”

One sentence finally made Xiao Yinhan raise his head, and the man's dark eyes seemed to hide fragile pain.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly into his arms, and his voice trembled slightly: "Wait for me, I'll be back soon, soon." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Jiang Tang gently stroked the man's stiff back and gave him silent comfort.

After hugging her quietly for a while, Xiao Yinhan let go of her.

When he left, Jiang Tang was finally able to sit down and rest.

Her gaze swept around, then paused.

It was as if they had forgotten something important.

Jiang Tang thought about it seriously, but found that he didn't remember.

Forget it, since I can't remember it, it shouldn't be a big deal.

When I think about it like this, I instantly feel that I don't need to think about it.

"Hey, it's all here, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Just taking advantage of Xiao Yinhan's absence, Jiang Tang was ready to talk to the dog system.

But it still pretended to be dead, and just wouldn't reply to her words.

Without waiting for Jiang Tang to open his mouth to threaten, he heard the noise from far and near.

She subconsciously sat up straight and looked towards the door, and after a while, the little girl who had just led the way suddenly poked her head out of the half-propped window.

A white and tender face like a soft bun, and beautiful eyes like stars: "Miss Jiang, someone has entered the village again, saying that they are looking for you!" ”

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stood up from the bed, and walked towards the little girl.

On the spot, I forgot what I had just told the man to stay and wait for him.

And when she followed Tongtong back to the entrance of the village again, and saw the beautiful young man in a black shawl surrounded by the Xueyi people, her eyes lit up, and she walked towards him: "I knew you could follow." ”

is also a "descendant" of the Xueyi clan, if Xiao Yinhan has a way, he will definitely be able to.

Seeing Jiang Tang appear, Nanxing also showed a very shallow smile on his face, but this smile disappeared when he found that the girl suddenly turned to others halfway through.

"Priest, I want to know what you mean by the phrase 'God will guide' you just said to him."

Jiang Tang's footsteps stopped in front of the old priest, and the other party seemed to know that she would come back early in the morning, so he had been waiting here.

Hearing her question, the old man's gaze swept over again, and this time, it really fell on her stomach.

Then without waiting for Jiang Tang to explain anything, she turned around: "If you want to know, follow me." It looks like you're no less confused than that kid. ”

The habitual smile on the corner of Jiang Tang's mouth was a little unbearable because the other party's gaze was a little unbearable.

"Are you alright?"

The young man's cold voice with the ice and snow of the Tianshan Mountains sounded in her ears, and she looked up at her: "I'm fine." I'm going with the priests, you ......."

"I'm with you."

Barely hesitating, the boy snapped her words.

Jiang Tang didn't say anything, and nodded slightly.

-

It seemed that they knew where the priest was going to take them, but the others did not follow.

The two of them followed her on a winding mountain path.

Ming Ming is old, but the old man's steps are so steady, and he does not falter at all.

The trees in the dense forest are tall and towering, and the sunlight is blocked by thick leaves and branches, and the deeper you go, the deeper you go, the deeper the road is quiet.

After walking for a while, some small grave-like dirt bags appeared in front of him.

Jiang Tang endured it, and then didn't hold back: "Lord Priest, where are we going?" ”

"Go to the forbidden land of the Xueyi Clan."

The old man paused: "It's also a blessed land." ”

Jiang Tang subconsciously looked at the young man next to him and found that the other party's eyes revealed a similar confusion.

She was finally relieved, as long as she wasn't alone.

The old priest did not look back, but seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and the old and distant voice sounded again:

"For those who are destined, the 'forbidden land' will answer all your doubts and guide you to the path of destiny, while for those who are not, the 'forbidden land' means terror and disaster, and you will die if you enter it. And in the past few hundred years, there are no more than ten people who are really destined to come out alive after entering. ”

Jiang Tang was a little stunned, and before he could react to what he meant, he was grabbed by the young man next to him: "Don't go!" ”

In front, the old priest also stopped, looking at the entrance of the forbidden place guarded by countless tombs, she said lightly: "As you can see, the people buried here are those who have not come out. ”

Jiang Tang: ???

At this moment, Jiang Tang seriously doubted, in fact, this old priest was in collusion with Concubine Fang, right?

What kind of secret realm is this used to make trouble with Xiao Yinhan.

Her silence made the young man beside her mistakenly frightened, Nanxing stepped forward and just blocked her behind him, his eyes were full of vigilance: "This place is dangerous, let's go back."

"Jiang Tang!"

Before Jiang Tang could speak, a hoarse female voice suddenly came from behind him.

She was startled, turned her head to look at the place, and saw someone she hadn't expected.

A woman, Ah Yan Miao (Fang Concubine), arrived from nowhere in an ankle-length black robe, a black robe full of mysterious totems, and her wide sleeves fluttered as she walked.

In contrast, her long, almost frost-white hair was in stark contrast.

Obviously, we met not long ago, and I haven't been so old.

After seeing her appearance clearly, Jiang Tang noticed that the palm of the person holding her wrist subconsciously tightened.

It seems unbelievable that she would become like this.

However, Ah Yanmiao didn't give her much time to prepare, and all her emotions disappeared with one sentence:

"You clearly don't love Xiao Yinhan, why do you want to do this for him?"
