Li Yanchu looked at Shi Xiaoman's slightly immature face, and said in his heart:

"This is what fifteen or sixteen years old looks like, in my previous life I was still a junior high school student,

Unexpectedly, the kernel is actually an old aunt in her forties. ”

His heart suddenly moved, thinking of the old ghost he met last time and said that Gaobu Village also disappeared thirty years ago.

I don't know if this Shi Xiaoman has anything to do with the disappearance of Gaobu Village......

Li Yanchu took Shi Xiaoman to search in Shijiabao,

I want to see if I can find something special.

The old village has been abandoned for 20 years, and many traces have disappeared.

Li Yanchu asked casually, "What are you usually doing here?" ”

He was a little curious,

Shi Xiaoman recovered his cultivation after taking the spiritual liquid, and he was also a ghost of some Taoism.

Although it still doesn't pose a threat in his eyes,

But in terms of her experience, she is also a gifted ghost.

A lot of powerful ghosts and fierce ghosts grow up relatively quickly,

But he has no reason at all, and he escalates by killing and devouring other ghosts,

The resentment on his body is extremely heavy and cannot be resolved.

But Shi Xiaoman is a harmless good ghost, and he seems to be quite simple-minded.

Although the actual age is in his forties............

"Usually I just wander around the neighborhood, wander around, go to some villages to see other people's excitement."

No wonder they are so familiar with Fallen Soul Mountain...... Li Yan nodded at the beginning: "So, you are very familiar with this neighborhood?" ”

Shi Xiaoman nodded: "That's right, it's very familiar, I basically know about the large and small villages nearby, but some villages have townholders, and I don't dare to enter." ”

Li Yanchu bowed slightly.

Many villages or under bridges will have towns,

For example, the iron sword hanging under the bridge, that kind of is a ballast weapon, to suppress evil water ghosts,

Or some villages are directly built according to the feng shui pattern, which can ward off evil spirits,

Therefore, the people are prosperous, and the wind and rain are smooth.

Li Yanchu didn't find any traces of a fight in this Shijiabao,

There were no traces of earthquakes either.

At first, it was either because of the plague or for some other reason that the whole village moved.

"You are so familiar with this area, do you understand why there is a strange disease in Jinshui Town?" Li Yanchu asked.

It's not uncommon for a strange illness to break out.

Li Yanchu asked this because he wanted to know if Shi Xiaoman knew if there was anything to do with it.

Shi Xiaoman shook his head.

Li Yanchu nodded, ready to continue to explore Shijiabao,

You can't expect a female ghost to know everything.

"I haven't heard of Goldwater."

Li Yanchu stopped, turned his head sharply and stared at Shi Xiaoman: "You haven't heard of it?" ”

Shi Xiaoman nodded: "Yes, when I listened to Miss Jiang Lin, I was still a little puzzled." ”

Li Yanchu's brows furrowed slightly.

Jiang Lin obviously said that the location of Shijiabao that Shi Xiaoman said was not far from Jinshui Town.

"Come to think of it, you've never heard of this town?" Li Yanchu asked.

Shi Xiaoman thought about it seriously and said in a low voice: "There really isn't." ”

Li Yanchu's brows furrowed,

Shi Xiaoman even heard of such a strange place as Falling Soul Mountain,

There's no reason you haven't heard of Jinshui Town......

This thing obviously likes to join in the fun,

There is a gossip gene in his bones.

Otherwise, where did you hear so many rumors about Fallen Soul Mountain, it must have been heard from the corner.

Li Yanchu didn't find any useful information in Shijiabao,

He thought for a moment, and his divine sense was instantly released, covering dozens of miles.

There are two villages within a few dozen miles, and many people gather.

Li Yanchu said to Shi Xiaoman, Shi Xiaoman nodded,

"The one in the east is called Niujia Village, and the one in the south is called Wangjia Village, these two villages often fight for the well, and hundreds of people work together, but it is lively."

This kind of thing can be said to be common in ancient times,

Li Yanchu nodded.

In fact, this place is not densely populated, and there are only two villages in dozens of miles.

He thought for a moment, and let Shi Xiaoman get into the oil-paper umbrella,

Performing the art of retreat, he soon found Niujia Village.

After inquiring, I found that this place is indeed called Niujia Village.

And the relationship with Wangjia Village in the south is indeed tense, which is consistent with the information that Shi Xiaoman said.

At least in this case,

Shi Xiaoman is indeed not lying,

Or maybe there was no problem with her memory.

The two villages often fought over the wells,

"Those eight calves in Wangjia Village have been in drought for days recently, and their crops are dying, and the well won't let us use it! We have to fight them today, or they will rob the well!" ”

The one who talked to Li Yanchu was a black-faced big brother,

When the eldest brother talks about Wangjia Village, he is angry.

The two villages are not far from each other, share a well, and are going to do another one today for the sake of watering the ground.

In ancient times, God did not rain, the fields were dry, water was scarce, and many people would starve to death, which was also the beginning of turmoil.

Li Yanchu can actually do a small area of rainfall,

He has a water charm on him,

Although the name of the water repellent is to repel water, it can actually control the aura of water and make it not a problem to irrigate crops during a heavy rain.

It's just that Li Yanchu didn't stop this big brother and packed tickets with him.

What is particular about doing a good deed and not leaving a name.

He took out the water repellent,

Push the charm in the charm,

Suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky and heavy rain poured down.

The eldest brother who had just spoken to him had just come home, carrying a hoe to go to war.

Suddenly it began to rain heavily.

"............" big brother.

A heavy rain, coming very fast, and falling very fiercely,

The villagers of Niujia Village were overjoyed and used pots and pans to receive water.

This water is much cleaner than ordinary rainwater, and you will never get sick if you drink it.

At this point, the crops in Niujia Village can be regarded as saved.

"God open your eyes!"

"It's finally raining!"

The people fell to their knees excitedly.

They don't really want much, just three meals a day.

The eldest brother who was asked for directions by Li Yanchu seemed to have thought of something,

Carrying the hoe in his hand, he hurriedly ran out,

I want to find the figure of the young Taoist priest.

But looking all over the village, there are no young Taoist priests at all.

He really thought that the gods had descended to earth and sent down a rain.

Li Yan rushed to Wangjia Village after the early rain,

After inquiry, the information was confirmed, and it was indeed the same as what Shi Xiaoman said,

And there is one thing in common between the two, neither has heard of any Jinshui Town nearby.

Shi Xiaoman didn't know that there were forgivable circumstances,

But the nearby villagers didn't know, which made Li Yanchu feel a little strange.

"Could it be that Jiang Lin is a road idiot? Misheard? ”

Li Yanchu's eyes showed a look of thought.

The people of Wangjia Village are also suffering from drought and are ready to fight.

Li Yanchu concocted a rain to solve the crisis.

Do good deeds without leaving a name.

………

Jinshui Town.

A tall woman dressed in black came to the town,

Her face was a little pale,

It's not because he's injured, it's because the mana in his body is excessively consumed.

She casts a wood walking spell,

Fly when you meet the grass.

At the moment, she has only practiced to the first stage, and when she reaches the second stage, she can fly in the trees............

Although the limitations are very high, it can burst out at an amazing speed in some special environments.

For example, deep mountains and old forests,

For example, the endless prairie.

Of course, if it's in the desert, the spell is gone.

Jiang Lin came to Jinshui Town, looked at the sparsely populated streets, and sighed slightly.

Just thinking of the package behind him, a smile appeared on his face.

The Nine Shades of Grass was found with the help of Daochang Li,

You can practice the Bailing Pill, and the matter of Jinshui Town can be solved.

She came to a big house,

This big mansion is one of the most magnificent houses in Jinshui Town,

Three in and three out, it is the pattern of ordinary rich and noble people.

There was a white-haired old man in plain clothes in the main hall, who was boiling medicine.

This old man looks fairy-like, wearing a pair of cloth shoes on his feet and a bamboo box beside him.

The old man's hands were slender and steady, and his eyes were indifferent.

"Doctor Yang, I've found the Nine Shades of Grass!"

Jiang Lin said excitedly.

The white-haired old man raised his head sharply and looked at Jiang Lin: "What? Have you found the Nine Shades of Grass? ”

Jiang Lin nodded, and took off the Nine Shades Grass in the baggage,

"Fortunately, I met a Dao Chief, and I found the Nine Shades of Grass."

The white-haired old man was short of breath, his steps were suddenly brisk, he came to this pile of burdens, and took over them.

When I opened it, I found that it was a pile of foreign grass, exuding a special aura.

"Nine Shades of Grass! It's really Nine Shades of Grass! That's great! ”

A flash of frenzy flashed in the white-haired old man's eyes.

A mature beauty walked out of the back hall and said with a pleased smile: "Miss Jiang is doing a good job, I have long seen that you are blessed and have done this!" ”

"Actually, I alone will never be able to get this Nine Shades Grass, but I met a Dao Master, which helped me obtain the Nine Shades Grass."

Jiang Lin said with a smile.

"Dao Chief?" The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

"That's right, this place has an outstanding temperament, outstanding style, and profound Taoism, without him, I'm afraid I will die in Fallen Soul Mountain."

Jiang Lin said this, and her beautiful eyes flashed.

The old man in white was overjoyed when he saw the nine shades of grass,

This beautiful woman is equally happy,

Just heard this description of Daochang Li, so he chatted with Jiang Lin.

This beautiful woman seems to have a natural sense of intimacy, and she has not known Jiang Lin for a long time, but she seems to have known each other for many years.

And the old man is the master in Jiang Lin's mouth who said that the Nine Shades Grass can refine the Bailing Pill.

YANG Baichuan,

A man who is proficient in medicine,

Walking in the mountains and fields all year round to collect medicine and refine medicine,

It was also he who took action to curb the strange illness of the townspeople of Jinshui Town,

So that none of the townspeople of Jinshui Town died.

The beautiful woman seemed to want to ask Jiang Lin something, but there was a force in the darkness that made her mind fall on the Nine Shades Grass again.

"Let's not think about these things first, Elder Yang should refine the Bailing Pill first and save the villagers!"

The beautiful woman said.

The old man in white nodded, and walked into the inner hall with the Nine Shades of Grass.

The beautiful woman glanced at Jiang Lin lightly,

"Miss Jiang, you are also a little tired, let's go and rest first, I've worked hard for you."

Her eyes were concerned, her words were gentle, and there was a convincing power.

Jiang Lin did feel a sense of exhaustion enveloping her, so she turned around and went to the room to rest.

There are no people in Jinshui Town, the streets are deserted, and there is no trace of life.

Outside the mansion, it was quiet, not a single sound.

When the meal was approaching, there was no smoke rising from every house.

The whole town is calm like a painting,

There is not a trace of pyrotechnics.

Jiang Lin slept for a while, feeling that she had slept for a long time,

When I came out to take a look, I saw that it was already dark.

She got up slowly, smelling a faint fragrance, refreshing,

"Could it be that the lark pill has been practiced?"

Jiang Lin was overjoyed,

I was going to go to the front hall to have a look and ask Mr. Yang,

But Mr. Yang was not in the front hall.

There was no light in the whole front hall,

It was dark and quiet, silent.

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and she didn't bother out loud, for fear of disturbing Mr. Yang's practice of Dan.

She saw that there seemed to be a little light in the room, hazy,

I was going to take a look.

Suddenly!

A miserable white human face appeared in the aisle with a lantern in hand!

Jiang Lin was startled, startled, and took a step back!

When I looked closely, I realized that it was the beautiful woman,

"Mrs. Feng, it's you! Surprise me! Jiang Lin smiled reluctantly.

The candle flame shining from this white lantern is a little dim,

Shining on the face of the beautiful woman, it is cloudy and uncertain.

The beautiful woman smiled faintly: "Miss Jiang, why did you come here?" ”

Jiang Lin said softly: "I woke up and found that it was getting late, so I wanted to come over to see if the Bailing Pill had been practiced." ”

"Miss Jiang has a heart, you come with me." The beautiful woman smiled,

Carrying the lantern, he walked inside with Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin noticed that her lantern was extremely strange, revealing a faint fragrance.

But Jiang Lin didn't ask,

Follow the beautiful woman and go inside.

The beautiful woman has a plump body,

If a man walks behind her, he will definitely be attracted by her plump and round buttocks.

Jiang Lin is a woman, but she doesn't have this kind of thought.

She just felt inexplicably depressed,

There was silence all around, without a sound,

Except for the lantern in the beautiful woman's hand, and the light in the distance, there was no light anywhere.

The whole Jinshui was calm and quiet, and there was a dead silence.

"I wonder if the strange disease will get better immediately after taking the lark pill?"

Jiang Lin thought in her heart.

But after walking for a while, Jiang Lin found that something was wrong.

The front hall was not far from the back hall, but they had already come a long way.

"Mrs. Feng, where are you going, haven't you arrived at the back hall yet?"

Jiang Lin asked.

A bad feeling rose in her heart.

Madame Feng turned around, and the dim light of the lantern shone on her face,

Her face was a little solemn: "I also found out that something was wrong, it is said that I should have walked to the back hall a long time ago." ”

Jiang Lin instantly felt a chill crawl from his back to the back of his head,

"Ghost hitting the wall?"

Jiang Lin's mind seemed to be sober, and he snorted coldly,

Hands ran over his eyes, and there was a glint in his eyes.

But it was still dark, just like before,

The silence is terrible.

Jiang Lin's heart sank, and he took out the Taiping Technique from his arms,

But in the darkness, there seemed to be an invisible big hand, which dragged her in suddenly!

"Ahh

Jiang Lin screamed, and the whole person was instantly swallowed by darkness.

Leaving Mrs. Feng alone with a white paper lantern to stand in place.

Mrs. Feng's expression was extremely panicked, and her face was pale,

Sharp rise and fall of the chest,

But gradually, her panicked look disappeared,

A smile slowly appeared on his face,

"Heh, why do you want to come back when you're out?"

She turned around with the lantern and walked on,

But the darkness on both sides receded like a tide,

The figure of the beautiful woman gradually disappeared.

The two points of light disappeared, and the entire Jinshui Town fell into a huge darkness,

There was a dead silence.

It's cold, it's quiet, like a giant tomb.

………

Li Yanchu unfolded his divine sense and searched a hundred miles around Shijiabao as the center, but he did not find Jinshui Town.

I didn't hear anything about Jinshui Town from these villagers.

This even the female ghost Shi Xiaoman on the side was a little surprised.

"I thought I hadn't been to a place before, why didn't I know about this Jinshui Town?"

Shi Xiaoman wondered.

Li Yanchu was silent.

"At that time, after Jiang Lin heard you finish talking about the location of Shijiabao, she said that it was nearby, and it should not be far away."

"Let's go back and see."

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice.

Shi Xiaoman naturally had no opinion.

By this time it was already dark,

As night falls,

There was a chill in the deep Shijia Fort.

After Li Yanchu returned to Shijiabao,

Shi Xiaoman showed a happy look,

No matter how broken this place is, it is also her home,

Although there is no one she is familiar with......

After Li Yanchu came to Shijiabao, he suddenly felt a fierce wind,

Clang!

The heavens and the earth sounded the bell of Dalu,

A layer of body protection aura appeared in front of Li Yanchu's body,

collided with the black shadow.

Li Yanchu's eyes were cold, and he was about to blast over with a punch!

"Don't do it, Dao Chief, I'm Xiao Tie!"

A somewhat familiar voice came,

Little Iron ...... Li Yanchu frowned, which of his enemies is called Xiao Tie?

There is no moonshine today,

Therefore, the entire Shijiabao was pitch black.

A golden light appeared in his hand, instantly illuminating the black shadow in front of him.

It's a big bear with black and white on its body.

The expression is flattering, enthusiastic, excited, and very complicated.

It's really rare for a bear face to be able to have so many expressions.

"Iron-eating beasts?"

Li Yanchu was stunned for a moment.

"Daochang Li, I've waited for you!"

The Iron Eater said excitedly.

"Why did you get here?" Li Yanchu frowned.

"Isn't that a coincidence? I'm bored in the mountains, so I want to wander around, hey! As a result, I met the Taoist chief, and we are really fateful. ”

The Iron Eater laughed.

"Just now you said that you finally waited for me...... Li Yanchu said.

The Iron Eater smiled and said, "Dao Chief, have you found any clues in this Shijia Fort?" ”

It cleverly shifts the subject.

Li Yanchu shook his head: "No." ”

"Shijiabao has long been abandoned, and now the key is that Jiang Lin said that Jinshui Town, I asked all the villagers nearby, and no one has heard of it at all."

The iron-eater was shocked: "What? ”

Li Yanchu frowned,

Although Jiang Lin's breath had not been seen by the Spirit Eye Technique, he could clearly feel that it was a person.

It's not a ghost,

How can you name a place that no one has ever heard before?

The Iron Eater suddenly thought of something, and spoke:

"Dao Chief, isn't that town next to it Jinshui Town?"

"Town?" Li Yanchu was stunned for a moment and looked at the Iron Eater.

The Iron Eater pointed to the north: "I just noticed that there is a town over there, and it is quite lively, I thought it was Jinshui Town." ”

Li Yanchu looked in the direction he pointed, and did see a little glimmer of light,

"Where is the town north of Shijiabao?"

Li Yanchu's brows furrowed.
