Jing Yue and the eldest lady went to the tent area and found that the herdsmen were just celebrating some festival, and the hundreds of people were singing and dancing, barbecuing and drinking, so it was not lively.

It can be seen that this group of local herdsmen is also quite hospitable, and seeing that Jing Yue and the eldest lady are good-looking, not like bad people, they warmly entertain them.

I have to say that the roast mutton here is really delicious, the meat is tender and delicious, and when grilled, it is carefully cut with a knife and sprinkled with condiments, which is very delicious.

Especially thinking of its nourishing effect, Jing Yue couldn't help but eat more happily.

The hustle and bustle did not stop until midnight, and Jing Yue and the eldest lady were arranged to rest in a dome tent on a hillside.

This should be the first time that Jing Yue and his two generations have lived in a tent on the grassland, and it only feels very comfortable, but there are some flaws.

For example, the smell of grass is very good, but the smell of cow and sheep feces is not so beautiful.

However, for the two who were well fed and drunk, drowsiness soon hit, after all, for so many days, they were either in a hurry, or rolling and playing, and they hadn't slept well for a long time.

This night, Jing Yue slept until dawn with the eldest lady in his arms, and when he woke up, he only felt refreshed.

The monk can run continuously without exhaustion, but mental rest is necessary.

Thinking that they still had to hurry, the two said goodbye to the herdsmen who had entertained them.

This herdsman was a bearded man, and he should be the leader of this group, and when he heard that Jing Yue and the eldest lady were going to the west, he couldn't help but look cautious and said, "Two guests, the west is unknown, and there is danger."

Jing Yue couldn't help but wonder, "Why?"

The bearded man explained, "The grasslands in the west have no protection from the Immortals, and here we call them the 'Black Grasslands,' and many people have never returned."

Jing Yue replied, "But we are going to Motuo, so we can only continue west."

The bearded man was silent for a while, and soon an old man was summoned and introduced, "My uncle is the only one here who has gone and returned alive from the black steppe, and he can tell you something."

The bearded uncle was a very old man with wrinkles on his face.

Hearing that Jing Yue and the eldest lady insisted on going all the way to the west, he could only talk about his own experience.

It had been ten years since the old man had last entered the black prairie, when it was snowing so hard that he lost many of the sheep he relied on for his survival, so he and his eldest son had to chase them.

As a result, they found out that they had come to the black grassland.

The black grassland is a forbidden place for them, and according to legend, there are devils living in it, and it is a place that is not sheltered by the immortals.

It was almost night, the weather was gloomy, and they always felt like something was following them.

At first they thought it was a wolf, but then they heard sounds that resembled the cry of a baby.

How can there be babies on the prairie at night.

In short, the sound made them feel so frightened that they could only flee in a panic.

And in the process, his eldest son was taken by that thing.

Speaking of this, the old uncle's eyes became quite painful.

After that, he saw a temple.

This kind of temple is not a small number in the territory of Qiangtang, and it is all a place where herdsmen worship their gods and immortals, some large and some small.

The old uncle was very frightened at that time, and he was exhausted from running, so he had to get into it without hesitation.

He spent the night in the temple and noticed that something outside wanted to come in, but he couldn't.

After that, he determined that it was the Immortal Heaven who was sheltering him.

The black grassland is a place that immortal heaven does not want to go, but so many temples throughout the ages are like lights in the dark, giving people shelter from the devil's erosion.

After dawn, the outside recedes.

The old uncle walked in the black grassland for four days before he came out, and the only way he survived was to find a temple dedicated to the immortal heaven before dark.

So according to him, if Jing Yue and the eldest lady insist on going west

In the case of the Black Prairie, there is only one piece of advice he can give, which is to find a temple to settle down in before dark.

Close doors and windows in the temple and don't open them no matter what you hear or see.

If there is a rumored devil in that black grassland, this is undoubtedly a very important piece of information.

After that, Jing Yue and the eldest lady said goodbye to the herdsmen and continued on the road.

I have to say that after hearing the story of the black grassland, walking on the road, Jing Yue will feel a little excited.

It's like walking in a haunted house and knowing that there are "ghosts" that will come out.

However, this kind of stimulation is limited to the haunted house, after all, he and the eldest lady's cultivation is not weak, especially him, no matter how he is a monk of the small god realm.

If a monk like him could be killed by this so-called ghost, then there might be no one in this world.

Yes, that's it.

The further west you go, the darker the grass becomes, until it becomes a deep dark green, even inky black, like the ocean.

Jing Yue and the eldest lady finally knew why those herdsmen called this black grassland.

When I arrived, the previously sunny weather had become gloomy and cloudy.

If the open grassland scenery before, then it seems a little eerie at this time.

The wind and grass are moving, and there is no longer the leisurely leisure of seeing cattle and sheep before, but instead there is an eerie sense that something terrible may be hidden.

At this time, the two suddenly heard a chewing sound.

The gloomy sky, the endless sea of grass, and the sound of chewing with the wind in front of you are undoubtedly eerie and terrifying.

The eldest lady should rarely come into contact with this kind of thing, so she seemed a little nervous for a while, and couldn't help but get close to Jing Yue.

The weeds were peeled away, and the sound of chewing became closer.

Finally, Jing Yue stopped.

Because he saw a snake.

A big green snake.

The green snake has a white vein on it, which gives it a particularly dangerous feeling.

Now, the snake is coiled around a bison, devouring its flesh.

The bison must have been dead, as evidenced by its bitten face without any movement.

And the snake seemed strange to eat, it was hungry, and its teeth kept biting on the flesh and hard bones, bringing out a clear crunching sound.

The snake eats food, usually swallowing, but this snake quickly eats the bison like a person nibbling on a watermelon and eating meat.

I don't know if it's an illusion or what the reason is, Jing Yue only felt that the fishy smell around him had become heavier.

It didn't take long for the whole bison to be left with a white skeleton.

As the bucket-like body of the green snake flipped over, the bison had been left aside by it.

Its body curled up, as if it had eaten a full nap, and Jing Yue and the eldest lady even saw the expression on its snake face.

An expression of dissatisfaction.

The snake's tail kept swinging, and I saw that the green snake quickly stared at its tail.

Then, with a twist of its head, it bit down on its own tail, and blood splattered.

The tail was bitten off at once, and as a result, the snake's body shook for a while, and it grew two feet longer, and the snake's head circled again and bit on the bloody tail......

So, what appeared in the eyes of Jing Yue and the eldest lady was a rather strange scene.

This is a snake that eats itself, it is constantly devouring its own flesh, and its body is also growing wildly, satisfying its desire to devour.

"Snakes?" Jing Yue was there, thinking.

At this time, the strange snake should have spotted them and cast a cold gaze.

From here, it looks like they're looking at them with bad intentions.

However, the green snake did not attack the two of them, but while eating itself, it entered the grass in a ring and disappeared.

The two of them didn't have much trouble, and continued to walk, and then they saw the first old uncle

The temple of the mouth.

The temple was small, sunk on a muddy slope and dilapidated.

It's not so much a temple as a large shrine.

It was still dark, and the two continued on their way.

As I walked, the sky was so cloudy that I couldn't tell the difference between day and night for a while.

At this time, the wind also became stronger, and the wind in the sea of grass swayed more and more obviously, and from the sound, it really looked like a baby was crying.

The eldest lady said, "It's probably going to be dark, Ah Duan, let's find the temple first, right?"

Jing Yue nodded.

Although he doesn't care about the devils that may exist in this grassland, he likes to observe before he starts, and if he can pass smoothly, he is too lazy to bother.

After a few pillars of incense, they found another temple.

This temple should be the largest they have found so far, there is a front yard, and there are some stone towers in the front yard, a bit similar to the Tallinn of the Buddhist gate, but in fact, there is a big difference.

It is estimated that it is the reason why this front yard is quite large that makes Jing Yue think that this temple is very big.

In fact, the temple in front of you is only two large tiled houses, and there are many holes in the walls, which are in disrepair.

After listening to the old uncle's story, the eldest lady always felt that there was indeed some evil outside, such as the snake, which was a little scary, so she took the lead in pushing open the door and walked in.

The night here came quickly, the wind was blowing outside, and the dark clouds overhead were lower, making it look like it was going to rain.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to be left with only a piece of inky black.

The temple seemed to have been left untended for a long time, with a lot of moss crawling on the ground and walls, and the statue of the deity on the altar was also green.

The statue was no longer visible, and from here it looked like a thing with many hands holding it to the sky.

This should be the immortal heaven worshiped by the herdsmen.

Perhaps because it was too covered in moss, the statue always had a raw, rough feeling.

To put it mildly, it's like a big earthworm that stands up and has a lot of hands.

Seeing that this place was too dilapidated, there happened to be a well outside the courtyard, so the eldest lady concentrated, and water flew out of the well.

I saw the water flow in this temple in a roll, it accurately swept away the stains inside, when the water rushed to the courtyard, the entire dilapidated tiled house has been renewed.

Although there are still holes in the walls and overhead, they don't interfere with rest.

Jing Yue and the eldest lady leaned against the wall and rested.

In fact, it was not long after nightfall, and the two of them were not too sleepy, they should have played for a while, but thinking about the demons that might exist outside, as well as the statues in this temple, they suddenly lost interest.

Jing Yue even said hello to this idol, if he didn't have incense and candles on his body, otherwise he would have to light one for the other party and put it on his mouth.

Speaking of which, if this idol can isolate the devil from the outside, it can be regarded as giving them protection.

So Jing Yue and the eldest lady chatted.

This kind of communication made them feel like they had returned to the past, when Jing Yue was in the body of the eldest lady.

It's wonderful.

The eldest lady couldn't help asking, "Ah Duan, why don't you enter my body now?"

Jing Yue said seriously: "Didn't you just enter a few days ago?"

The eldest lady looked confused and said, "When?"

"Wouldn't you, every night, several times, you forget this?"

At this time, the eldest lady reacted to what he said, her pretty face flushed, buried her head, and greeted Jing Yue gently with her fists.

Jing Yue couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Maybe we recognized each other, and God withdrew that ability, but I think it may come back sooner or later."

It's all caused by the dog system not being able to recharge!

"I think you're right, when we're together, we don't have to go in and out from the far side of the world, but sometimes we are separated, and this kind of communication is quite convenient." The eldest lady said eloquently.

Obviously, this silly Bai Tian still likes the way of "online communication".

Chatting and chatting, the eldest lady and Jing Yue fell asleep leaning on each other.

They didn't choose who would keep vigil, because for monks like them, they could be "half-asleep" enough to be alert.

This state is similar to breathing and recuperating, and sometimes there are no distracting thoughts, and even more alert than when you are awake.

The black grassland was actually quite quiet at night, except for the sound of the wind blowing the grass and the chirping of insects.

If you hadn't heard the slightly terrifying story of the Black Prairie, the sound would have been similar to white noise, very hypnotic.

It was in this state that the eldest lady took a nap.

Yes, in the semi-sleepy state, there are occasionally some real sleep hours, which are very short, almost dozens of breaths.

After taking a nap, the eldest lady continued to maintain a state of recuperation, and there was still only the sound of wind blowing grass and insects chirping outside.

Well, at this hour, the insect should also be tired and asleep, and the sound is a lot less.

At the same time, there was a little more sound of leaves swaying on the branches.

This is a very common thing.

Wait a minute!

The eldest lady suddenly realized that something was wrong, that is, this was the black grassland, and he and Ah Duan walked all the way, surrounded by vast green grass, and there was not a single tree at all.

Not a single low shrub is at all.

Where does the sound of the wind blowing the leaves come from?

The eldest lady couldn't help but open her eyes, and at a glance she saw the idol on the altar.

The dim light of the sky poured through the holes in the roof, and the idol seemed to be a little different from what it had seen before, but it also seemed to be absent.

At this time, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves came again, and the eldest lady raised her head coldly.

The next moment, her body stiffened there.

I saw a few holes in the roof tiles, and many eyes were crowded there, looking at her coldly......
