Half a month later.

Ye Mo sat on the back of Peng Bird, and he was very familiar with the mountains in the distance, which was his hometown, where he was born and raised.

At this moment, countless childhood pictures and figures appeared in his mind, including parents, siblings, and playmates......

"Frost, let's go down!"

"This is a mortal village below, is there a treasure?" Wang Shuang wondered.

"There is no baby, it is my hometown, I left here sixty years ago, worshiped Luo Yun Sect, and never came back, I deliberately flew in this direction, I just want to come back and see!"

......

After landing on the ground, Ye Mo used his aura to look at his face, and there were a lot of wrinkles on his face in an instant, and he bent down slightly and picked up a bent branch as a crutch, which really looked like an old man in his seventies.

Wang Shuang put away the Ice Spirit Sword and supported the old man, like a father and daughter coming back to visit relatives.

"Uncle Ye, slow down!" Wang Shuang said mischievously.

Ye Mo was a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't come back for sixty years, if I look young, I'm afraid it will scare people!"

Walking slowly, the two walked to an archway with the words: Yejiawan.

Ye Mo stood in front of the archway, stroked the stone pillar of the archway with his hand, stroked the patterns on it, and stood there for half a stick of incense for a while.

Wang Shuang knew that he was reminiscing about the past, so she didn't bother him, just looked around with curious eyes.

......

I remember that the soldiers were in a panic, and encountered natural disasters, a family of eight had no food to survive, and many people starved to death in the village, one night, he had a dream, and he dreamed that there were immortals who rescued him, so that he would see immortals all the way to the west.

On the second day, before dawn, he packed up a few old clothes and left a letter, telling his parents that he was going to travel far away to find a way to live, and that he would return to his hometown in good clothes to take them to the city to enjoy happiness.

At that time, I didn't believe in that dream, but if I waited for death, I might as well go out and try my luck, maybe I could worship the master as an apprentice, or find some work in the city, so that I could stutter and not starve to death.

When he left, he stood in front of the archway and secretly vowed that he would make a lot of money so that his parents, younger brothers and sisters could live a good life! Let them go out of the remote mountain village and enjoy happiness in the city!

After that, he didn't look back, went west, how did he know that natural disasters and man-made disasters, there were demons to make trouble, he was caught by a demon Dao, to refine the essence pill, at the moment of crisis, he met a ninth-layer deacon of Luo Yun Sect, killed the demon Dao, rescued him, saw that it was the three spirit roots, and recommended to enter Luo Yun Sect as a miscellaneous disciple of the outer door, which was the wrong way to cultivate immortals.

......

For more than 60 years, it has not changed at all, he touched the stone pillar of the archway in his hand, and muttered to himself!

"Why is this village gloomy, there is no rooster crowing and dog barking, it is only evening, why is every house closed, what's going on!?" Wang Shuang wondered.

Ye Mo listened to Wang Shuang's voice, and only then woke up from his reminiscences! He also listened carefully, and looked at every house, only a few smoke rushed to the faint green smoke.

"Something must have happened in the village that made the villagers so scared that they didn't even dare to cook dinner, and they didn't dare to go out behind closed doors, go and ask!"

"Uncle open the door!" Wang Shuang knocked on the doors of several houses in a row, but none of them opened the door, and no sound came out.

Again, there was silence in the house, and no sound was made.

Ye Mo gently probed in with his divine sense, and the divine sense he sent out was very weak, afraid of hurting their souls.

The mortal soul is very weak, and if the monk uses the Great Divine Sense to probe, it is easy to defeat their Divine Soul, which is also the reason why Ye Mo did not use the Divine Sense to probe the entire village.

I saw that the seven members of this family were hiding in the corner of the house, trembling! One of the old men he knew, it was Ye Hai, who had grown up with him, and the old man knelt on the ground and prayed vigorously to the heavens for protection!

Ye Mo had a bad premonition in his heart! Seeing his childhood friend so scared! Without thinking about it, he knew that something must have happened in the village.

"Haizi! It's me Ye Mo, I'm back, I ran away from home sixty years ago, and now I'm back! Do you remember? I'm Ye Mo, you can see that it's me!"

After waiting for half the incense stick, an old man tiptoed to the door! The old man trembled slightly, squinting his eyes and looking out through the crack in the door.

"Like Ah Mo (Ye Mo's nickname), it's really you back!" the old man's face was happy, and he pulled the deadbolt to open the door.

"Come into the house!" After speaking, he let go, urging the two to hurry into the house, and when he closed the door, he didn't forget to poke his head out, and saw that there was no abnormality on the left and right, so he quickly closed the door and inserted the door bolt.

After entering the house, the old man introduced him to the family, and then his daughter-in-law served a cup of tea to the three of them.

"Haizi, you are blessed!"

"Alas, the family's ordinary, peaceful life can be regarded as some blessings!"

"Who is this?"

"This is my niece!"

"Niece?"

"Her father and I are brothers!"

Wang Shuangxiu raised her eyebrows slightly! Her right hand secretly twisted it Ye Mo's waist!

"Cough!" Ye Mo pretended to cough lightly and motioned to Wang Shuang to stop tidying up.

"That's it!"

Ye Mo used his divine sense to slightly probe the old man's entire family, all of them had no spiritual roots, and their bodies were all healthy.

"Brother Hai, why is our old house empty and no one lives in it!?......?

"Your father and mother died ten years ago, and the old house is unoccupied. Your second brother and third brother are still there, the fourth brother starved to death that year, and the fifth sister and sixth sister got married. Your old house is too small and dilapidated, so your second and third brothers started a new house. ”

"The second brother Ye Long and the third brother Ye Lin have become grandfathers, and their lives are dull!"

Hearing that his father and mother had passed away, Ye Mo's heart ached! Two lines of tears naturally came out!

"It's my unfilial piety to fail to send them two elders!" Ye Mo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes!

Although the immortal cultivator wants it, he is ruthless, but people are affectionate, but who can really be ruthless?

"It's been more than sixty years, why don't you come back soon!?"

"Alas, it's hard to say! Don't mention it! Don't mention it!"

In fact, this retreat lasted for 30 years, and before that, he was still a Qi cultivator, and every day was in fear! Not to mention going home, even if he went to Fang City, he felt that he might be killed and hidden from treasure one day.

Calm down!Ye Mo asked again: "It's only evening, why don't we see anyone in our village, and every house is closed!?"

"Alas! It's a long story, this matter has to start from last year, when the weather was dry, not a drop of rain for more than a year, the dealer in the field saw that there was no harvest, and the whole village discussed the money to build a Dharma platform to ask the Taoist priest to ask for rain, but it was useless to invite several, and the silver two poured a lot!"

"One day, an old man came to the village and said that he could do rain and not charge money. Not long after going to the Dharma platform, it rained, and the people in the village were very happy! However, the rain continued to rain for three months without stopping, and if it continued to rain, the dealers in the field would be drowned, and the houses would be submerged, and the people in the village would go to the demon road again and let him retreat from the rain!"

"The demon Dao agreed, but the condition was to provide two children, so he was willing to do it, saying that it would cost him a lot of vitality to stop the rain, and he needed the children's alchemy to replenish his vitality, of course the people in the village did not agree, and it rained for another month!"

"And then?"

"The people in the village went to find other Taoist priests, but they couldn't do it if they didn't have enough mana, and in the end there was no way, so they decided to send two children to him, and he stopped the rain in a few days!"

"Isn't that demon Dao still satisfied, and still wants our village to continue to provide children?"

"Not really! Since the rain stopped, the demon path has not appeared again, but half a month later, the children in the village have disappeared inexplicably. ”

"If it was done by the demon Dao, why did he blackmail the people in the village to provide the children in the first place, he could just take them away, if it had nothing to do with him, why did the village inexplicably disappear the children after he asked the children to practice alchemy?"

"So now every night the family is afraid to go out, and the children are afraid to make a sound, for fear of letting the monster know that there are children in the house. ”

"I see!"

"What do you think, Shuang'er?" Ye Mo Chuanyin asked.

"Even if it is not directly related to that demon path, it has an indirect relationship. ”

"Well, I think so too!"

"That demon path can rain and harvest rain, could it be the Yuanying Evil Cultivator? Wang Shuang said.

"That's true! It's just that how could a Yuanying monk kill a mortal child? No matter what kind of monk he is, I have to take care of this matter, but I also have to pay attention to safety!" Ye Mo said.

After staying at the old man's house for half an hour, inquiring about the house of the second and third brothers, Ye Mo got up and said goodbye and left, leaving two hundred taels of silver when he left.

At the beginning, considering that he might have to stay in the secular mortal world, he deliberately took medicinal materials such as century-old ginseng, angelica, and Ganoderma lucidum, and found a pharmacy to exchange some silver taels.

After leaving the old man's house, the two of them did not go to the house of his second and third brothers, but opened up a small cave on a small mountain twenty miles away from Yejiawan.

He swapped out the skeletal bee colony and the Blood King ant colony, and asked them to secretly spy on Ye Jiawan, notifying him of any movement......
