Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, the fairy grandmother said, "Didn't you just listen to the tall and thin man? They chased the only way behind the mound on the edge of the grave to the creek, and then along the creek to the west of the village, but they found no one. Did people really disappear out of thin air?"

I said, "How so?"

The fairy grandmother said, "You still doubt Shiwa?"

I said, "I can't really think of any other explanation. ”

The fairy grandmother said: "Think about the possibility I mentioned just now, but they ruled it out without even thinking about it. ”

I sighed in surprise: "Could it be that person really went behind Xiaoxi Mountain?"

After saying that, I felt that something was wrong there, and after thinking for a while, I said, "No, you and Sister Xiaoya have been there, and then I also went, and I haven't seen anyone at all." ”

"I haven't seen anyone, haven't I seen anything else?" said the fairy grandmother slowly.

"You mean that monster, how could it be!" I exclaimed.

"Not only is it possible, but it is the truth, and it is the key to the truth of the matter. ”

"Could it be that the man was a monster in the first place?

"There is no such thing as a cow in the world. ”

"Then I really don't know what's going on. ”

"I don't know if you've ever heard of Demon Fighters. ”

I suddenly remembered the demon fighter that I seemed to talk about in Daddy's story.

I tried to think about it for a moment and said, "In Daddy's story, the demon fighter is mentioned that the dead corpse is resurrected under the inspiration of mysterious power and then grabs the body of the living, and then kills the soul in the human body, and the demonic nature of the dead body uses the human body to grow into a powerful and fierce demon fighter. ”

Fairy Grandma nodded slightly.

That's what I realized, "That missing person was invaded by the corpses, and then he became a demon fighter?"

Fairy Grandma nodded again.

This is a new question that arises in my mind: "So the corpse in the fake grave has also been summoned to life? Maybe there were so many people at the scene, and if the corpse was resurrected and attacked the living, it was impossible for the others to know about it." ”

"It's also possible that at some critical moment, a part of the dead body attacked him, for example, and grabbed him. Others may not care at all. Grandma said while thinking.

At this point, I really understood the reason for what happened today.

After that, I kept thinking about the valley behind Xiaoxi Mountain, because the two bizarre things I experienced happened there, one was the incident of He Xuanya's disappearance, and the other was the incident of meeting monsters today. Whether there is some unknown connection between these two events, or whether it is just a coincidence, I can't figure out the answer.

From that day on, He Xuanya still went to school every day during the day, and she was still a leader in all aspects of the school. After eating in the evening, I went up the mountain to practice the exercises with the fairy grandmother.

Zhiyong still went to the area of Xiaoxi Mountain to herd sheep, and that incident didn't seem to scare him.

That night, Daddy didn't come to the shack. I heard that he followed the investigation team into the city.

The next day was Friday, and on the way out of school, he quietly walked up to me, pulled me aside and said, "Come with me to the back mountain tonight." ”

I said, "I'm going to listen to my daddy tell me stories in the evening, he wasn't there last night, and he's missed all night." ”

He Xuanya said: "There is something big happening tonight, and I hope you can witness it with your own eyes. ”

"Big deal, big deal?"

"Yesterday, Master received a message from the eighteen Ximu scattered all over the place, saying that they were coming to Shouzao tonight to plan something important. ”

"Isn't there a thousand and eighty Ximu in the world, and how come there are only eighteen?"

"The 1,000 and 80 mothers are actually under the control of the 18 Venerable Buddhas, each of whom is under the control of the Master, the first Mother. The Ximu team is also a hierarchical management organization, just like the provincial capitals and counties of the world. ”

"What are the eighteen Venerable Ximu looking for Grandma for?"

"I don't know very much about that, but it's certainly not going to be a general thing. Because the eighteen Venerable Queens get together, it will definitely not be for trivial things. ”

I thought that I had to find out what such an important gathering was for, so I had to give up the opportunity to listen to the story all night.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you at seven o'clock in the evening at the intersection of the mountain outside the village. After I finished speaking, I took three steps and two steps to catch up with the sailors and He Weilong who turned back and called me from time to time.

After dinner, I secretly told my father that I was going to go to my classmate's shack to accompany Yibo to do homework, and he had any questions to ask me, and he would go back to the shack when he went to sleep, and asked him to bring a message to his father not to listen to the story today.

My father knew that Yibo was the worst student in our class, so he believed it.

He Xuanya and I came to the outside of the fairy grandmother's house, and listened to the inside, quietly, not like there were guests coming.

"Why is there no sound, is it that the eighteen Xi Mu have not come yet?" I asked He Xuanya quietly.

"I don't know, let's go in and have a look. He Xuanya said, squeaking open the door.

The house was empty and dimly lit.

He Xuanya looked left and right and said, "Master must be in the alchemy pharmacy." - But I forgot the secret of the secret door, which Master had just taught me. Since the last time I got sick, my brain has been getting worse and worse. ”

"Xiaoya, if a person like you says that your brain is not good, then everyone in the world is a fool. There is no way to teach a secret once and for all. Out of the corner door of the side room behind the gate stepped out of the rootless real person, she said with a grin.

He Xuanya and I both saluted her.

Rootless Zhenren looked at He Xuanya and said, "Your master is going to have less grills tonight." ”

"On the grill?" asked He Xuanya, puzzled.

"You'll find out later. - I'll be waiting for you both here. "Rootless real person said.

After saying that, she muttered twice, and the secret door next to the table cracked with a bang.

On the stone steps leading into the underground, I asked the rootless real person, "Grandma Wugen, how do you know that it is the two of us who came at night?"

Wugen Zhenren looked at me and said with a smile: "Shouzao knows Xiaoya very well, she said, tonight's conference, just one of her children, she will definitely call you, if she doesn't call you, she will be restless." ”

He Xuanya said: "Uncle Shi, I actually want to give Xiao Yuan, a person whose curiosity is overflowing, a chance to listen to something that can't be heard elsewhere. ”

The rootless real person laughed.

When we went to the underground platform, we found that it was already crowded with people, some sitting, some standing, all chattering about something.

Seeing us coming down, the fairy grandmother stood up from the meditation seat, beckoned, and motioned for us to come over.

He Xuanya and I came to the edge of the meditation table.

The fairy grandmother pointed to He Xuanya and said: "This is the apprentice I just accepted, called Xiaoya, she is a child with outstanding talents, I believe that she can become an excellent Ximu in the future." After I die, I hope that everyone will support her as much as I support me,—— no, they should support her even more than they support me. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they all spoke one after another.

"Congratulations to the first one for receiving such a high apprenticeship, this is a blessing for my Ximu team. ”

"Why do you want to say such bad things about the first seat, you are so strong, don't keep talking about death. ”

"We're going to support the little head. ”

The fairy grandmother pressed down with both hands, and everyone returned to silence.

"This young man is not simple, he is the person selected by the Xuanmen of Shouyang Mountain, and he may rely to a large extent on his strength to save the danger of the world in the future. "Grandma Fairy pointed at me and said.

The words of the fairy grandmother made me feel in a fog, what Xuanmen, what danger, and what depended on my strength, for me it was like listening to a story that had nothing to do with me.

The crowd began to talk again.

There is a huge underground cavern, and the voices of people echo between the rock walls over and over again.
