On the way out, Fu Yinghan saw that Shen Li was a little absent-minded, thinking that she was also reluctant to Qin Jihe, and said: "When we go to Jiuli Eighteen Village to get things, we can come back, and you can spend more time with your friends." ”

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, reacted to what he meant, shook his head and said, "No." Later...... It's not like there's no chance to see each other. ”

And what she was thinking about was not Qin Jihe, but the fragment of the Ming Vessel in Jiuli and Eighteen Villages.

Fu Yinghan turned her head to look at Shen Li, she was still a little in good spirits.

He grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other hand buckled her seat belt, and said, "It will take a long time to get to Jiuli Eighteen Village, you can put down the seat and sleep for a while." ”

Shen Li did not refuse and lowered the seat.

Fu Yinghan put his coat on her.

Shen Li leaned sideways slightly, pressed his eyebrows, and closed his eyes.

……

Jiuli Eighteen Villages are far away from Guanyang County, and the two of them drove for more than four hours on the mountain road and entered the mountains. In the afternoon, it was inconvenient to drive anymore, but fortunately, it was not far away at this time, so the two of them found a place to park the car and walk with their backpacks.

With the experience in the class space, and Shen Li had also been here, they went relatively smoothly and did not get lost.

"Let's go to the forbidden land first."

Shen Li couldn't use the electronic map anymore, so he thought about the general direction and route, and used the compass to distinguish it.

Hearing this, Fu Yinghan was silent and said, "Okay, go there first." I remember that Hua Xu used to seal that thing in his friend's body and bury it in the ground with it. I don't know if it's still there today. ”

Shen Li wanted to say not necessarily, but she remembered that the dead forest in the forbidden land was already alive, and when it bloomed, it was extremely beautiful, just as Hua Xu said.

In the past, if that thing was still there, the dead tree wouldn't have come back to life.

However, the evil qi of that thing has been completely dissipated by Ah Yan's body sacrifice, and now it should be in a state of no evil qi, so burying it under the peach forest will not necessarily affect the growth of the peach forest again. So it's hard to know for sure if it's buried underneath.

Shen Li remembered one thing from this, and said to Fu Yinghan: "Do you remember, the people who returned to Hezhai said that the reason why they went to Guanyang County to find Yu Yingying's hand and tongue again now was because that thing was restless again, and they judged that their calamity was not over." ”

Fu Yinghan frowned slightly, "But isn't Ayan already over?" ”

"yes. It stands to reason that they should be worry-free forever. But why is that thing restless? Shen Li pondered.

couldn't think of a result, Fu Yinghan said: "I'll figure out what's going on when I get there." ”

Shen Li raised his head, "You can ask my master." It's just not clear...... Will he come out to see me this time? ”

When it came to Hua Xu, Fu Yinghan was a little depressed. He squeezed Shen Li's hand and bypassed the topic, "Let's hurry first, don't think about anything else." ”

Shen Li glanced at him inexplicably, but seeing that his expression was the same, he didn't ask any more questions, and hurried away intently.

Before you know it, night is falling.

It was even colder in the mountains and forests at night, but fortunately, around eight o'clock, the two finally walked near the forbidden place.

Back in the familiar place, Shen Li and Fu Yinghan's feelings were very complicated.

Different from the forbidden places they saw in the space, the forest scene in front of them at this time was even more lonely, as if no one had been here for a long time.

The bluestone road that winds up has also been very old by the wind and rain, many stone surfaces have left cracks, dry bamboo leaves have fallen all over the ground, and there is a squeaky sound when stepping on it, looking at its thickness, it looks like no one has cleaned it for at least several months.

Shen Li couldn't help but have a hunch, "I feel like my master hasn't been here for a long time. ”

"Do you want to see him, then?"

There was a hint of nervousness in Fu Yinghan's slightly tense voice.

Shen Li didn't hear it, so he naturally replied, "Of course I want to see it." We're going to take away the fragments of the Ming vessel, and this thing is in my Master's custody and in His hands. If we don't see him, how can we take him? ”

Now Shen Li has adjusted his mentality.

Collecting the fragments of the Ming Artifact was something she had to do.

No matter what it is, it can't affect this big event, and she can't waver, she has to go on firmly.

After listening to her words, Fu Yinghan was slightly settled in his heart, and took the initiative to pull her up.

Soon, the two walked to the end of the bluestone road, and the familiar bamboo house in their memory gradually came into view.

However, what Shen Li thought came true!

I saw that the open space in front of the courtyard was bleak, with dead branches and broken leaves everywhere, and the bamboo house not far away was also covered with a layer of gray and old color, when the two approached, they could see that the door of the house was locked, and the dust on the steps was obvious.

"It's been uninhabited for at least half a year." Coming to this conclusion, Fu Yinghan couldn't help but be a little worried, "Didn't Hua Xu come back?" Did he have an accident, or was he in trouble from which it was difficult to get out? ”

Shen Li turned his head to look at the peach grove on the other side.

In winter, the peach trees withered, and the underside of the trees was full of cracked petals.

It's been a long time since anyone took care of it.

Shen Li thought for a while and said, "My master said that he is guarding that thing here, and when that thing no longer threatens Jiuli Eighteen Villages, what he wants to do will be done." I think that after Ayan's death, he had already left, and the place he had been to was Guanyang County, where he had set up a magic circle. ”

"Later, I should have been back a few times because I was not at ease, so I met him during the Rebellion of the Living Dead. And now...... He must have felt that he was no longer needed here, so he left and never came back? ”

Fu Yinghan was a little eager to speak and stopped.

Shen Li noticed, "What's wrong?" ”

Fu Yinghan sighed and said, "It's nothing. Well, I'll find a shovel to dig under the peach tree and see if I can buy it and find what we want. ”

"Then I'll be with you."

Shen Li rolled up his sleeves and pulled Fu Yinghan to find it.

She'd been here a few years ago, had been here for a few days, and vaguely remembered where everything had been.

And the furnishings here have not changed, they are still the same as in Shen Li's impression. When he touched the locked door, Shen Li directly pried it open, and it didn't affect it.

After finding the shovel, Fu Yinghan didn't let Shen Li do it, so he went to dig the soil himself.

Shen Li couldn't screw him, so he had to squat to the side, holding his head in his hand to look at him.

Fu Yinghan dug the largest peach tree, and dug for more than an hour before finally digging up the black wooden coffin.

He stopped, folded his hands and bowed to the black wooden coffin, and then continued to open the museum, revealing the familiar white bones inside, and then looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li stepped forward, raised his hand to pinch the seal, and brushed it on the white bones.

After a while, she withdrew her hand and said, "It's not here anymore." I thought, that thing, my master either took it with him, or put it elsewhere, or gave it to the people of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages. ”
