The Mid-Autumn Festival on Penglai Island lasted for three days in a row, and a group of four people had a very happy time here.

When they left the island, they saw a group of people chasing a hawker whistling through the air, and when they inquired around, they learned that the group of people was the deacon of Penglai Island, and they were arresting a vendor selling contraband on the island.

Xue Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, this Penglai Island can even help people destroy corpses and abscond in fear of crime in the auction hall in a bright way, what can be regarded as forbidden?

"It's for selling gold pills," other vendors on the side came over to explain her secretly, "I don't know if a few Taoist friends have heard of it, in recent years, there have been rumors in the cultivation world that the gold pills in other people's bodies can be taken out and absorbed to enhance their own strength." ”

"That's just a rumor, and no one has really verified it," Fang Yuan frowned, "Where did he get the golden pill?" ”

"He said he didn't kill anyone, but he just happened to meet a group of people who died together, and he moved his mind," said the peddler who spoke, pouting disdainfully, "where did he come to be?" This opening must not be opened! ”

Xue Yan was shocked: "Daoist friend is right, this mouth must not be opened." ”

Just like the method of replenishment a few decades ago, as soon as the mouth is opened, sooner or later, the cultivation realm will be reduced to a hell on earth where the weak eat the strong.

Yan Hui was a little irritable: "How can the cultivation realm come up with some crooked ways at every turn?" Can't you rely on yourself to cultivate honestly? ”

The four of them looked up and watched for a long time, and when they saw that the deacon of Penglai Island had already arrested the hawker, they shook their heads and retracted their gaze.

After these three days, they are going back to their lives and responsibilities.

———

Xuantian Sect.

Xue Yan returned to his small courtyard in shock, first expressed his longing to the spirit donkey, and took out a large bag of bean cakes as compensation for not taking it out.

In view of the fact that she had been out for a short time and had behaved well, the donkey did not make trouble with her, rubbed her with his head affectionately, and grabbed her sleeve to see the tiny white flowers of the garlic sprouts on the windowsill.

Xue Yan was stunned: "I didn't know that garlic sprouts would actually bloom." ”

It was a small cluster of flowers huddled together, and it didn't give off any fragrance, but after all, she had raised it with her own hands, and it was as if she had made some kind of achievement, and it made her heart glow with a subtle sense of pleasure.

She rubbed the donkey's ears and expressed her gratitude, and it howled proudly.

As for the sand python, it is very easy to coax, it is not as smart as the spirit donkey, and mistakenly thought that Xue Yanjing was going out to hunt, and when he saw that she really brought food and returned with a full load, he respected her very much.

After saying that Leng Yushu would go to rest for the next mission, Fang Yuan took the little junior sister out on a mission, and as soon as he returned to Xuantian Sect, he went straight to the Hidden Dragon Hall to carefully select it.

Early the next morning, he appeared in Xue Yanjing's small courtyard with a carefully selected task.

"Whispers of the Old Gods?" Xue Yan, who had been sleeping soundly all night, stretched his waist in surprise and unfolded the letter to read it carefully, "The people in Yuanjia Village heard the whispering of the ancient gods in the middle of the night, and threw chickens, geese and ducks into the caves, thinking that they were sacrificed, and the ancient gods were angry, and the villagers proposed to worship them. ”

"Let's go now," she said, closing the letter and standing up, "lest it be too late, and the villagers will really take people to sacrifice." ”

Fang Yuan nodded: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

The two said hello to the senior sister, and the sword was from the fourth

Mingfeng departs (),It's only a few hours◆[()]◆『Come [].See the latest chapter. Complete chapter'(), and then arrive at the location of Motokari Village.

They found the house of the sender, knocked on the courtyard door, and a middle-aged woman looked at the two strangers suspiciously: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Xue Yan was shocked to mention the name of the letter: "Yuan Yanqiu." ”

"Looking for my daughter?" The woman looked at them and said, "Who are you?" ”

Fang Yuan took out the waist card and showed her: "Xuantian Sect disciple, perform official duties." ”

"Immortal Master?" The name of Xuantian Sect's benevolence and righteousness was thunderous in the entire Zhongzhou, the woman's attitude was a little respectful, and she hurriedly sent her husband to call her daughter back, and invited the two of them in, wiped her hands on the apron, and served tea, "A little coarse tea, please don't dislike the immortal master." ”

Fang Yuan thanked him: "I came here to ask about the ancient gods in the village. ”

The woman nodded again and again, and explained the ins and outs to the two of them.

Since about a few months ago, every midnight, the whispering voice of the ancient gods spread throughout the village, reading words they did not understand, and the villagers at first thought that it was a deliberate disturbance in the next village, and they had a few fights with each other, only to find out later that the sound seemed to come from underground.

The woman's exact description of this sound was: "As if you were chanting some incantation, the heart of the Straight Sect is frightened." ”

"And then?"

"There is a barren mountain on the west side of the village, and there is a cave in the mountain, which is very deep, and some people have gone down with ropes before, but they can't find it to the end," said the woman, "and everyone thought that the cave must lead to the ground, so they threw a few chickens, ducks and geese into it, and counted it as a sacrifice, trying to calm down the old gods, but it was useless, but it angered the old gods." That night, chickens, ducks and geese were all thrown out, and the voice of the old god became more and more angry. We were so scared that we scolded the guy who came up with the idea. ”

"What's the matter with worshipping people?"

"Why do you worship people?" The woman was stunned.

"It is to sacrifice the ancient gods with human life."

"What?" The woman waved her hand again and again, "Nothing, never!" ”

"Miss Yuan Yanqiu's letter mentioned it," Fang Yuan frowned, "

Where is she? ”

Seeing that the immortal master's face was not very good, and she suspected that she had taken her daughter as a sacrifice, the woman kept shouting: "That dead girl!" I'm just scaring and scaring her, what year has it been, you Xuantian Sect people fly over the sky every New Year's Day, beating gongs and drums, telling us that we have to find Xuantian Sect in advance, and we must not act in private, we all remember it! ”

There was a rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, and after a while, a young woman in a hairpin cloth skirt came in and saluted Xue Yanjing: "I've seen the immortal master." ”

"You are Yuan Yanqiu?"

"Exactly."

"What's up with this letter?"

Yuan Yanqiu looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it's me who has an awkward relationship with my mother, she scared me into not marrying and starting a family, so she asked the people in the village to take me to worship the ancient gods, I was impulsive, so I sent you a letter." ”

Fang Yuan and Xue Yanjing's senior brother and sister glanced at each other, they didn't believe it all, whether what she said was true or false, and even whether she was Yuan Yanqiu herself who sent the letter, they had to wait for them to observe and inquire before making a judgment.

The two did not express their suspicions, but just asked a few more words about the situation of the ancient gods, and the Yuan family knew everything and said everything.

"Two immortal masters," after the two of them understood the situation, Yuan Yanqiu asked cautiously

He said, "What do you think the old gods are?" ”

"How can there be a true god on earth?" Fang Yuan thought for a moment, "Maybe it's just a demon or something pretending to fool the people in the township, right?" ”

The woman was a little worried: "What if it's true?" There was a passer-by who said that there was an ancient god at the bottom of our village. ”

Xue Yan was shocked and said, "Even if it is a true god, it can't be worshiped by people. ”

The woman nodded again and again: "I know, we really don't plan to engage in human sacrifice, I just ask, what if the ancient god wants to harm people?" Ghosts can be banished, but shouldn't the gods be honored? ”

"If a god wants to eat people and harm people, then it is no different from demons and monsters," Xue Yanjing reassured, "It's just...... It's just a more difficult demon to deal with. ”

"......" The first time they heard this argument, they were stunned for a while, and subconsciously wanted to refute how gods could be equated with demons, but they felt that she seemed to have a point.

"If there is really a god who wants to eat people," Xue Yan said in shock, "Then punish the gods." ”

Fang Yuan gave the little junior sister a thumbs up: "Good ambition!" ”

Yuan Yanqiu held her face and looked at Xue Yan in a daze, a little distracted for a while.

The brother and sister quickly took their leave, and prepared to go to the village to inquire around, and then go to the cave to investigate, and if they could not find any useful clues, they would stay until midnight, waiting to hear how the "old god" whispered.

The two split up, one to the east and the other to the west.

Fang Yuan was born with a face that was relatively easy to trust, and he smiled and welcomed people, and when he met people, he said that he was here to visit relatives, and he quickly got along with the people in the village, but half an hour later, half of the melon seeds in the village uncle's pocket were deceived by him.

When Xue Yanjing found him, he was playing six games of chess with the village masters, and there was a group of people around him pointing and pointing at him, suggesting which step he should take next.

He was playing chess and chatting with people at the same time, not talking about Yuan Yanqiu's situation, and even the fact that her father liked to fish in the river with his bare ass when he was a child.

When he saw the little junior sister, he pretended to be invincible, lost the game of chess in a few moves, and lost to the uncle opposite.

"There should be no problem with Yuan Yanqiu's family, the villagers all said that the father and mother of the Yuan family have always loved this daughter, and the matter of human sacrifice must be a misunderstanding," before getting closer, Fang Yuan first stuffed a handful of melon seeds for his junior sister, "I have inquired, the contradiction between her and her father and mother is that she wants to cultivate immortals, and the parents of the Yuan family feel that there is no one in a thousand mortals who can enter the immortal gate, rather than pursuing an ethereal goal to waste their years, it is better to live the life in front of them in peace." ”

Xue Yan was shocked to take the melon seeds handed over by his senior brother, and knocked them up casually, Fang Yuan took out a small handful of fried chestnuts: "It was also given to me by the uncle over there, do you want it?" ”

"Yes," Xue Yan crushed the shell of the chestnut and carefully peeled out the flesh, "I walked around the village and didn't notice any evil spirit. ”

"Walk with me again?"

"Okay."

Fang Yuan and Xue Yanjing walked together, passing by the east of the village, and saw a family stewing meat in a big pot in the yard, so he casually chatted with his junior sister: "Presumably this is the house of the second girl in the east of the village, I heard that she is going to get married, and the village will have a banquet tomorrow." ”

"What are you asking about?" Xue Yan said in surprise.

"I didn't inquire," Fang Yuan said with a smile, "It was the village masters who took the initiative to mention it, and they also invited me to eat and drink tomorrow." ”

"......" Xue Yan suddenly stopped and looked at the big stew pot.

Fang Yuan almost thought that this was a terrifying incident of human meat stewed in an iron pot, so he hurriedly looked at its shape and smelled its taste, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This stew is ordinary mutton, but it's really fragrant." ”

"But there are still two plates stewed in the pot," Xue Yanjing analyzed carefully, "Mortals don't eat porcelain plates, which clan are they used to entertain stewed plates?" ”

“…… Sister. ”

"Huh?"

"No clan eats plates," Fang Yuan added common sense to the little junior sister bitterly, "It's buckled on the meat, and a large piece of mutton is pressed into the soup to make it easy to taste, and it's the same if it is replaced with a clean stone." Truly, they don't eat plates at all! ”

"......" Xue Yan lowered his head in shame.
