At first, You Ziji could only rely on his own feelings to find the direction, and gradually the lights of the house appeared dimly in the field of vision.

You Ziji's spirit was shocked, he quickened his pace, and walked forward dozens of steps, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and the fog seemed to be dispersed by the thick fireworks in the world.

You Ziji looked back, only to see the dense forest of the black hole, and there was no fog.

There are more than a dozen houses in front of it that are brightly lit, and it should be a small village. Now that you have found the village, you don't have to go camping in the treetops.

You Ziji stepped forward and knocked on the door, causing a toss in the house, and a man's voice came from a short time after, saying:

"Who is it outside, it's time to rest so late, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"The eldest brother is disturbed, the boy is in a hurry in the mountains, and he can't get out after dark, passing by here, he sees that there are people living here, and he wants to spend the night here."

The room pondered for a moment and said, "We don't accept outsiders here, so let's go." ”

In this wilderness, there is a sudden stranger who wants to spend the night, and normal people will not open the door, and You Ziji is somewhat mentally prepared, but there is still an imminent matter.

"Then don't disturb the eldest brother's rest, it's just that the kid hasn't found a water source all the way, and he is thirsty, I hope the eldest brother can give some water to drink."

The man hesitated and said, "Wait a minute. ”

The lights flickered and the figures flickered, and they seemed to be looking for something in the house, and after a while, a thin crack opened in the wooden door, and a water bag was handed out.

"You take it on the road to drink ......"

Along the crack of the door, You Ziji saw clearly, the man was dressed as an ordinary dealer, but the animal skin skirt around his waist showed that he was still hunting for a living, which was in line with the appearance of a hunter in a mountain village.

The man was stunned when he saw You Ziji, and although he heard the voice at first, he never thought that he was a child.

Seeing that her husband was silent, the woman in the house hurriedly came over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

She also saw the appearance of You Ziji along the crack in the door, at the age of eleven or twelve, his fleshy face had not yet opened, which made people look very fond of it.

"Whose child is this, wandering in the forest so late, what if he is attacked by a wild beast? If you are in charge, let him stay overnight. ”

The man is a good person like his wife, and after all, he can't make up his mind to drive the wanderer away, so he opens the door of the room and says; "Good doll, come in quickly, it's a little cold outside."

It was frost season, and the night was cold, otherwise the fog would not have been the same. With the permission of the master's family, the wanderer finally has a place to stay.

Although the houses of the mountain farmhouses are a little simple, they are also warm. The woman cared for Youziji very much, and there was no leftover food at home, so she had to boil some rice porridge to satisfy Youziji's hunger.

"Boss, help me get some firewood and come back."

"Okay."

The man is obedient to his wife, very affectionate, and the husband and wife are also very enthusiastic, regardless of the hard work during the day, they have to make something to eat, and You Ziji is really embarrassed to stand aside and watch.

"Big brother, I'll go with you."

The man was still hesitating, but the woman said, "Just let this doll go with you, it's dark outside, you two be companions, and come back with more firewood." ”

The two of them went out of the room, and the man led the way, using the moonlight to find the stacked stacks. You Ziji walked briskly, followed closely but was suddenly stumbled, looked down, and saw the moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting the white bones on the ground clearly, clearly human bones.

You Ziji exclaimed, "Big brother, look, there are human bones here." ”

The man was startled by the shouts of You Ziji, looked down at the human bones but calmed down, and said, "Don't be afraid, this must be a traveler who was eaten by a wild beast in the mountains, but the bones will appear here for some reason, so let's bury him on the spot." ”

You Ziji was a little surprised, "Right here?" ”

"Of course, the mountains and forests at night are the most dangerous and can't go deep, and this corpse can't be ignored, isn't this the only place."

You Ziji felt that something was wrong, but he felt that what the man said was reasonable, so he picked up a hoe and shovel with him and dug a deep pit in the courtyard to bury the bones.

The man said, waving his hoe, "The beasts in the mountains have become more and more powerful lately, and in a few days people will be killed, and I don't know who will be able to kill them." ”

You Ziji's heart moved, could the man be talking about the silver-white wolves? They don't look like normal creatures, and may have become spirits.

But thinking of this, You Ziji has new doubts, isn't the mountain gate of Tianyu Temple near here, if there is really a monster born, it should have been solved a long time ago, leaving no trouble, is it really just the infested of wild beasts that has not attracted the attention of the monks of Tianyu Temple?

There is no answer to all this, and You Ziji is just a random guess.

Back in the house, the woman lit the stove with firewood and began to cook. You Ziji and the man are idle and have nothing to do, and they are not good at words, so they just stay quietly.

Only then did You Ziji calm down and look around.

If anything, it's the rattle on the head of the bed and a pair of small tiger head shoes, both for children under the age of two, but there is no sign of a child in this room.

The woman noticed what You Ziji was looking at and explained, "That's for my child." ”

You Ziji wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to ask where the child was, but he suddenly woke up, isn't that pouring salt on people's wounds.

The woman saw what he was thinking, and said, "It was for my former child, and if he were still around, he would be about the same size as you by now." ”

You Ziji heard the meaning of the woman's words, "Is he leaving?" Where did it go? ”

The man who had been silent for a long time answered, "He disappeared, neither dead nor lost, but disappeared alive before our eyes." ”

"Gone! How is this possible? Isn't there a monk who casts a spell to forcibly snatch the child? You Ziji felt a little confused.

"Maybe it's magic, the god we worship, Qi Youtian, has ignored us since my son left, and the child's affairs must have something to do with him."

The man said as he looked at the offering table in the room. You Ziji didn't look carefully just now, and only then did he realize the problem.

The tablet enshrined on it is the God of Qiyoutian, there is only one god in this world, and it is understandable to worship him, but the tablet has somehow cracked a huge gap and almost split in half. How could such a thing with divine power become like this?

"After my child was lost, the tablet became what it is today."

"Gods? Why would he do such a thing. ”

No one will know the answer, and You Ziji has no choice but to keep the question in his heart.

Soon, the hot porridge was served, which was enough for the wanderer to have a good meal.

It's just that You Ziji didn't have any money in his hand, but he didn't repay the people, so he took out the yellow paper and drew two talismans and gave them to the couple.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, I don't have anything to use as a gift, I can only give you two talismans, wear them on your body to resist some evil and bad luck, I hope you can accept it."

The husband and wife saw that it was just a talisman and it was not a valuable thing, so they happily accepted it, and You Ziji finally ate his hot porridge with peace of mind.

At night, You Ziji slept on the bed that the woman cleaned up for him, it was very comfortable, he should have fallen asleep soon, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. But after thinking about it, I didn't find any problems, and after tossing for a long time, I finally became depressed and gradually fell asleep.

Suddenly, there was a long whistling sound outside the house.

It was the sound of a wolf howling, and soon other wolf howls echoed and stretched all the way around the village.

The man jumped out of bed at the sound of the noise, and before he could put on his clothes, he took up his hunting bow and iron fork and went to the window.

He looked through the crack in the window, and saw a pack of wolves with white hair and moonlight reflected all over their bodies, scattered around the village, faintly surrounding the place.

"They're going to attack the village?"

The man looked back at the wandering Ziji who was speaking, and nodded bitterly, "It should be like this, I have never seen this kind of scene, but I seem to be able to understand their thoughts." ”

The man's fists clenched, his knuckles gurgling, and he seemed to have made a decision, "You stay in the house for a good time, and I'll go find the other villagers to drive the wolves away." ”

You Ziji thought about it and stopped the man's thoughts.

"I've seen these white wolves on the road, they should be looking for me, let me go."

After that, without waiting for the husband and wife to refute, You Ziji had already stepped out of the door, leaving only one sentence, "Put the amulet on your body, it will bless you." ”

It's just some white wolves that have just given birth to their intelligence, and the peace charm is enough to deal with it.

And You Ziji only needs to lure the white wolf away as much as possible.

You Ziji slapped a white wolf in front of him, turning up the dirt, and the wolves seemed to be a whole, immediately locking him up and gathering him.

The spells that deal with monsters are by no means comparable to the suppression of them by the Samadhi True Fire. You Ziji didn't make a direct move, but waited for the wolves to gather before raising the flame in his hand.

When the wolves saw the Samadhi True Fire, they all stopped, and after a moment's stunned, they ran away. Fearing that they would return to attack the village, Youziji had to follow them all the way.

The bright moonlight, coupled with the white fur of the wolves, reflects the light to the surroundings, but allows You Ziji to see the mountain road clearly and prevent him from stumbling and falling. Gradually, the mist in the forest rose, and it seemed to be filled between heaven and earth again in an instant, and You Ziji still did not give up and continued to drive away the wolves.

The two sides chased and fled I don't know how far they went, suddenly, the eyes suddenly opened up, he rushed out of the fog directly, I don't know when the sky was already bright, and the wolves he had been chasing for a long time suddenly disappeared.

When I looked back, I saw that there was still fog behind me, but because the sun was rising, it was already weakening.

You Ziji's heart moved, as if something had left him.

It is a talisman, it is different from ordinary talismans, it has a certain sense of self, but now it has suddenly broken off contact, as if it did not exist in the world.

He shook his head and felt that last night's events were like a dream, the sun was in the sky, and the fog behind him finally disappeared between heaven and earth.
