Li Daoxuan didn't talk nonsense, but under his dead man's eyes, Yan Kuan's eyes and even his head were glowing with a strange red.

It's not rich, but it's like a cloud of gas.

With the disappearance of the female ghost on the side of the road, Li Daoxuan found that the pollution on Yan Kuan's head also faded.

He took a few deep breaths and shook his head again before he could recover.

"Indeed, something was wrong just now, it wasn't her ......"

Li Daoxuan glanced at him and said, "Although I don't know how you were polluted, I think it will be very dangerous after you go in." ”

"It's fine."

Yan Kuan shook his head, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will go." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Daoxuan didn't persuade anymore.

Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and if they can persuade them, it is already for the sake of friends.

[Five turbidity troubled times, walking in the territory of Shanshui City, the pig slaughterer, met a mountain of mass graves, the ghost fog in front of you will have a trace of the effect of the field, and your survival point +6 (green)] 】

This ghost fog actually has a trace of domain effect......

Just when Li Daoxuan wanted to add a point, the text appeared on the panel again.

[No one asks in the mountain of mass graves, kneeling in front of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves to look for people. In this world, the Mountain of Mass Graves is a very special area, where many ghosts gather, and the mist is rampant, and it is a paradise for ghosts and evil creatures.

There are all kinds of ghosts fighting here, so you can always pick up all kinds of materials and filth here.

But at the same time, the ghosts here are far more ferocious than the rest of the world. 】

So, this is a dangerous dungeon?

Li Daoxuan replaced it with a statement that he could easily understand, where danger and opportunity coexist, if you are not in a hurry to find juice and rice, you can stay here for a while.

After thinking about it, the two of them had already stepped into this mountain of mass graves together.

As soon as I entered, the ghost mist invaded, and the wisps of ghost mist were like cold and slippery little hands, constantly stroking and touching the exposed skin.

It makes you feel a chill in your back.

Li Daoxuan moved his body slightly, his body was full of qi and blood, and the feeling disappeared.

But Yan Kuan was not, as soon as he came into contact with this ghost mist, he shivered, "It's so cold here." ”

The mountain of mass graves was right in front of him, and the yin wind continued to blow, blowing away some ghost mist, but then more ghost mist poured in from the side.

Faintly, you can still see paper money blown by the wind.

Behind the paper money, there are still a few ghosts constantly scrambling.

Seeing this, Yan Kuan couldn't help but take out his dirty vessel, the peachwood sword wrapped around his intestines.

"On the day she was buried, I was not allowed to come, but afterwards my mother secretly told me the location of her grave, which was on the south side of this mass grave mountain, in front of her grave, there was an old willow tree."

Li Daoxuan bowed his head, but did not move forward.

"I'm just curious, her grave is in this mass grave mountain...... In a place where even you, a seventh-rate grain eater, are a little afraid to come in, how does her family know that there is something wrong with her? ”

Before he came to this mass grave mountain, Li Daoxuan didn't know what the situation was here, but now that he came.

He sensed something was wrong.

This mountain of mass graves is definitely not a place that ordinary people can set foot in.

"This ......"

Yan Kuan also woke up and raised his head suddenly.

Li Daoxuan looked at him with a look of hatred, "Don't leave quickly, there's an accident at your house!" ”

"Yes, yes, let's go."

After that, the two did not hesitate at all, they both turned around and left.

Fortunately, both of them had just stepped into this mountain of mass graves, and the ghost fog did not overflow, so they both walked out of the area shrouded in the ghost fog very easily.

"Whew...... It's really stupid, but fortunately, you came with City Lord Li. ”

Yan Kuan wiped his face, "Let's go, our Yanjia Village is here." ”

Li Daoxuan followed, and not far after he passed, the originally muddy ground was already about to turn into a tidal flat, and only the road paved with huge boulders was paved on it.

didn't go far, Yan Kuan himself found the abnormality.

"In the past, there are a lot of people on this road, City Lord Li, don't look at this small stone road, but it is an important passage connecting our villages in Yanjiawan."

Now, on this stone road, there are many places covered with stone moss.

Apparently no one has left for a long time.

Li Daoxuan asked again: "How did your family contact you at that time?" ”

Yan Kuan replied: "It was they who wrote the letter and sent it to the Cui family, and the Cui family then brought the letter to Shenwu City and handed it over to me. ”

"Then it's no wonder, this ghost's spirituality is not low."

Li Daoxuan quickened his pace, and at the same time, he was faintly guessing something.

After this stone road, I finally returned to the muddy field path, and the mudflats on the side of the road were already full of water, and even small swimming fish, or river shrimp and crabs could be seen in it.

"Our village is right ahead."

Li Daoxuan looked in the direction of Yan Kuan's finger.

The houses made of bamboo, supported by bamboos driven deep into the ground, are suspended on the muddy mudflats.

At this point, the weather became very hot.

The mist sticks to the sweat and makes it feel very uncomfortable.

There were faint voices of people talking and laughing in the village, as well as the sound of children laughing and playing, which made Yan Kuan breathe a long sigh of relief.

"It seems that we are thinking too much, so that's good, that's good."

Li Daoxuan squinted and looked around, then withdrew his gaze, "Don't be too happy." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Don't the people in your village eat dinner?"

After Li Daoxuan finished explaining, he was already walking in front of Yan Kuan.

And after a little thought, he also reacted, and at this point in time when the two of them came over, it was already evening.

It stands to reason that it's time to make dinner.

But as far as the eye can see, there is not a single fire in this village.

It's understandable that a family doesn't eat, but it's impossible for every family to skip a meal.

Yan Kuan's reassuring heart was lifted again, and he also followed closely.

The closer we got to the village, the more pronounced the voices became, and the evening sun shone through the river mist as if draped in a golden veil.

It's very beautiful, and it's a bit the opposite of the scene I saw on the side of the Mass Grave Mountain before.

"At the entrance of the village, this is my second uncle's house."

"I'll go up and have a look."

At the door of each house, there are steps made of bamboo, Yan Kuan went up in three or two steps, and before he pushed the door, an old man with a cane walked out of the house on the side.

Seeing this, he shouted: "Who are you! What are you doing at my house?! ”

Yan Kuan opened his mouth and said in a slightly crying voice: "Second uncle, it's me, Kuan'er, I'm back." ”

"Kuan'er?"

The old man frowned, looked Yan Kuan up and down again, raised the cane in his hand with great difficulty, and was about to fight: "Let go of your mother's fart, Kuan'er just left me for a while." ”

"Besides, Kuan'er is young, how can she be like you, and she is about to look as old as me!"

"I ......"

Yan Kuan didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what was going on.

He had no choice but to set his eyes on Li Daoxuan, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Didn't you notice that he was dead?"

Li Daoxuan still has the ability to judge life and death, huh...... The main thing is the dead man's eyes, and this man is covered in blood.

This is a sign of pollution, so Li Daoxuan paid special attention to it for a while.

It was because of this that he found out that this man was dead.

"What...... Dead, dead? ”

Yan Kuan looked at it fixedly, and soon found something unusual...... The second uncle has corpse spots on his body.

The old man also heard Li Daoxuan's words, and scolded angrily: "You just died, your whole family is dead, don't get out of here, if you don't get out, I'll call someone." ”

"Get out, let's get out."

Yan Kuan hurriedly came down from the door of his house.

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else."

Li Daoxuan was holding a pig-killing knife, which discouraged the old man who wanted to come down.

The main reason is that Li Daoxuan has not found an abnormality for the time being, and if he directly uses filth to search, it will be a bit too wasteful.

It's better to see for yourself first.

After these rooms, Yan Kuan picked another bamboo house and went in, saying that this was his aunt's house.

But as soon as I went in, I was kicked out, and the answer I got was the same.

The person who came out was already dead, and they all said that how could Yan Kuan grow so old, it was impossible, and said that he had seen Yan Kuan this morning, and he was still an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man.

Look at his dejected appearance.

Lee Do-hyun finally spoke.

"There's something you don't know if you can accept, but as far as I can see so far, it's very likely to be the truth of your village."

Yan Kuan raised his head, took a deep breath, and then slapped himself again, "City Lord Li, you said, it's not a child anymore, there's nothing unacceptable." ”

"The people in your village should all be dead, and there are supernatural beings who have sealed their memories for decades."

"In other words, they all lived when you were eighteen or nineteen years old, and as expected, there is still one of you in this village, and if nothing else, you are a ghost."

Li Daoxuan expressed his guess.

Although it is a bit outrageous, it is not too outrageous in this world where ghosts and ghosts come out together.

Yan Kuan nodded, "That makes sense." ”

Li Daoxuan continued: "That you are a ghost, and the other party has worked hard to call you back from Divine Witch City, so ...... You should be able to guess what's going on. ”

"Yes...... She! ”

Yan Kuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but it was accompanied by deep remorse.

"Of course, this is just my speculation, she probably already knew that we were back, but she didn't do anything, we can also take a look."

So saying, the two of them walked along the stone path in the middle of the house, which was also made of stones, and they had not gone far when they saw several shirtless children gathered around a small puddle.

They are all carrying a silk line in their hands, fishing for crabs.

There are already two or three crab pots on the side.

The bare backs of these children are also covered with corpse spots, and in some places they have even begun to fester.

Obviously, they're all dead too.

Or dead for a long time.

At the door of the bamboo house on the side, a bare-bottomed child knelt in front of a woman, crying bitterly and shouting "mother".

But the woman was extremely stubborn that she was not married yet, where did she get the child.

Yan Kuan couldn't stand still, and hurriedly said, "City Lord Li, I have to go back first to see how my father and mother are doing." ”

"Okay."

After speaking, Yan Kuan almost ran with his legs lifted and ran on this stone road.

Li Daoxuan walked leisurely, and looked at the houses on both sides, but his footsteps did not fall in the slightest.

In just a few minutes, Yan Kuan stopped in front of a rather luxurious bamboo house.

It is said to be extravagant, because this bamboo house occupies a large area, and the bamboo used is better than the ones next to it, and the top of each one is dark and shiny.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Yan Kuan was a little afraid to step forward.

The nostalgia is even more timid.

He was also afraid that after coming to the door, he would see a scene that he couldn't accept, so he said to Li Daoxuan here: "When I left, this bamboo house was similar to other people's. ”

"This is what I earned in Shenwu City and asked others to take home and rebuild."

"Originally, I meant to let them move to Shanshui City to live, but they couldn't give up this ancestral land, so I asked people to renovate it for them."

Xu heard someone talking outside, and footsteps sounded inside the bamboo house.

Yan Kuan didn't dare to speak, he just lowered his head, but raised his eyes and looked at the door.

What came out was an old woman with silver hair.

She was already very old, and her vision was a little blurry, and she struggled to open her eyes to see the two people standing in the doorway.

Then he asked in an extremely difficult dialect, "Who are you two looking for?" ”

The moment he heard this voice, Yan Kuan couldn't hold it anymore, and directly knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily, shouting in a crying voice:

"Mother, Kuan'er, I'm back......"

At this moment, the bearded man Li Daoxuan cried silently when he first saw him.

Li Daoxuan didn't know what was contained in his kneeling, maybe he had the regret that he didn't understand when he was young.

There are also debts to parents who have not fulfilled their filial piety in the past few decades.

is also full of thoughts of my parents.

"Wide ...... Kuan'er? ”

When the old woman heard this voice, she was still holding the salted fish in her hand, but at this moment, she threw the salted fish away and came down from the door of the house tremblingly.

Stretching out his hands covered with corpse spots, he grabbed Yan Kuan's head and slowly pulled him up.

"You're Kuan'er...... No, you're not Kuan'er, he's still home this morning...... You're really Kuan'er. ”

The old woman looked at Yan Kuan's face, which was already beginning to wrinkle, and said in pieces.

Li Daoxuan clasped his hands in front of his chest and stood aside to watch the play.

He suddenly said: "He is Yan Kuan, but he is Yan Kuan thirty years later." ”

Although the old woman was blind, she was deaf, and she didn't doubt it when she heard Li Daoxuan's words clearly.

She reached out and stroked Yan Kuan's wrinkled face, and said, "You are really Kuan'er." ”

"In the past 30 years, I have suffered a lot."

The tip of Yan Kuan's nose could clearly smell the rancid smell coming from his mother's body, but he didn't have the slightest disgust, but hugged her directly.

"It's not bitter, the child is not bitter at all outside."

"I just miss you a little."

The old woman just hugged him, just like when she was young, and gently patted him on the back, "If you are homesick, just go home." ”

"Daddy has always been there, always ......"

The more the old woman spoke, the quieter her voice became.

When Li Daoxuan saw this scene, it was rare that his eyes were a little moist.

He also thought about the past.

also thought of a sentence, a very practical sentence, "There are 80,000 words in the world, but only love words hurt people the most." ”

Whether it's love, family affection or friendship, it's always been like this.

But now was not the time to sigh, he wiped his face and lifted his spirits again.

Because with Yan Kuan's kneeling, the old woman in front of her was finally stunned in place, and then the look in her eyes passed quickly, and the whole person also turned into a corpse and fell.

Yan Kuan hurriedly reached out to pull it, but what he touched was a mass of carrion.

"Mother!"

He shouted.

But as the corpse fell on the steps, it was rapidly decomposing, and in a few breaths, only a dry skeleton remained.

It's like a dry bone in a mound.

Seeing that Yan Kuan was about to stretch out his hand, Li Daoxuan said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't even have bones?" ”

Only then did Yan Kuan stop.

Li Daoxuan looked around and found that the village seemed to be blown by the wind of the past, and everything that was originally new was fading its background.

It becomes decayed and broken.

It's like being abandoned for years.

The change came too quickly, and when Li Daoxuan retracted his gaze, he found that there was already a person standing at the door of Yan Kuan's house.

It is also Yan Kuan.

But it was Yan Kuan when he was young, he looked handsome, like a handsome young man, wearing a short coat, his exposed arms were tanned into a bronz, and he was full of tendon flesh, looking very young and vigorous.

"Look if that's you."

As soon as Li Daoxuan spoke, Yan Kuan hurriedly raised his head to look.

At a glance, he froze in place.

Because Yan Kuan saw himself, a person who lived thirty years ago, was standing in front of him at the moment, lifelike.

"You ......"

Yan Kuan just wanted to speak, but this person threw off his arms and left.

The pace was very fast, not like the speed of ordinary people, just a few breaths, and then disappeared around the corner.

"Keep up."

Li Daoxuan didn't talk the slightest nonsense.

He could tell that the ghost seemed to be trying to take them somewhere.

The two men followed closely behind, and it was not long before they left the village from the south side of the village, and continued south along a narrow stone road.

The remnant sun shines on the river.

Sparkling with gold.

Yan Kuan walked faster and faster, "I know, I know where he's taking me." ”

Li Daoxuan also guessed that if the ghost behind this was really Yan Kuan's fiancée back then, then the destination of their trip was probably the riverside of the Luoluo River......

Liu Ling likes the place where she walks alone.

The two of them walked faster and faster, until they had walked the gravel road on the tidal flat, stepped over a pile of rocks, and finally came to the sand by the river.

At this point, Li Daoxuan stopped.

For on the sand by the river, two men were sitting with their backs to him...... To be exact, it should be two ghosts.

Or maybe it's a ghost.

A young man and a woman.

The female ghost was wearing a green dress, and the man was leading Li Daoxuan and the others over, the young version of Yan Kuan.

The two sat side by side, very in love.

Li Daoxuan looked at Yan Kuan beside him again, his lips trembled, he wanted to shout but didn't know what to shout.

Li Daoxuan stopped.

But he walked forward step by step, very slowly, and formed a deep depression in the sand.

He didn't stop until he walked behind the young man.

The young man and woman were also silent.

Immediately afterwards, the young Yan Kuan's figure became lighter and lighter, until it disappeared.

The female ghost also turned around, with a beautiful face and delicate facial features.

Seeing the figure that had appeared in his dreams countless times, countless words flashed in Yan Kuan's mind, but no matter how many words came to his mouth, he didn't know which one to say.

In the end, Liu Ling said, "Let's go? ”

"Okay."

Yan Kuan nodded.

She got up, the remnant sun shone on her, and she had no shadow.

The two walked side by side, without holding hands, just walking on the sand by the river.

It was the first time Li Daoxuan had encountered such a ghost, it was rare that he didn't have to do anything, and he could still watch the play, so he sat down with his hands on his sleeves, leaned on the stone by the river, and looked at the back of this person and a ghost.

At first, they didn't speak.

But later, as soon as the female ghost opened her mouth, Yan Kuan quickly lowered her head and began to listen carefully, without saying a few words.

The two laughed.

Yan Kuan also gradually relaxed, and the two chatted while walking.

The evening breeze by the river took away their voices and sent them into the river, bringing the night.

When I got to Li Daoxuan's side, I couldn't hear what they were talking about, and I could only vaguely hear the girl's silver bell-like laughter.

One man and one ghost walked a long way, and then turned back and followed the path they had walked.

Or maybe it's the road that has been walked countless times, and I have come back step by step.

In the meantime, the female ghost seems to be no longer a ghost, but just like she was back then, she will still bounce when she walks and rises.

Yan Kuan also seemed to have forgotten everything in the village, but devoted himself to talking to her.

One person and one ghost are walking slower and slower, and they seem to know that when this road is over, it is time to return to reality.

But no matter how slow you go, there will be an end to this road.

When the remnant sun completely fell from the river, and when the crescent moon on the horizon was hidden in the clouds again, they finally returned to their original position.

Liu Ling turned her head, the smile on her face was not reduced, she glanced at Li Daoxuan, and then looked at Yan Kuan.

"Is this your good friend? He's so handsome, much better looking than you. ”

Li Daoxuan also stood up and said with a smile: "I am Yan Kuan's friend." ”

"Yes, he is my friend, or the city lord of Hand Witch City, I can come back this time thanks to him."

"That's ...... so"

Hearing this, Liu Ling looked at Li Daoxuan again, and her eyes completely turned black, pitch black.

But in the blink of an eye, it was back to normal, and she said with a smile:

"You're here to find juice and rice, don't worry, I have this thing."

After saying that, she backhanded, and there was a small purse in her hand, and the purse sewn by the shroud ghost didn't get closer, and threw it directly.

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand to take it, and before he could check it, the text popped up on the panel.

[After a long time, you finally got the "juice and rice" you lacked from the "price ghost" in front of you, and at this point, the materials you lack in "Devouring Domain" are finally completely completed, and your survival point is +20 (green). 】

[Greedy pig slaughterer, go and boil your materials and complete the first step in your mastery of the realm!] 】

Li Daoxuan raised his hand and added a little, and he looked at the female ghost named "Price Ghost" in front of him again.

He never revealed it to Liu Ling.

He also believed that Yan Kuan would not talk to Liu Ling about this, so ...... How did she know she needed "juice with rice"?

Liu Ling continued: "If you want to go to Tian Cai, go to a place called ......"

The more Liu Ling spoke, the paler her face became.

It seems that to spy on this, she also needs to pay a great price.
