Although the village is still uninhabited in the morning, the chirping of insects and birds can still be heard, adding a bit of life to this barren village.

When they first came yesterday, it was already nightfall, and the two of them had not carefully looked at the surrounding environment, so they took a closer look.

Although the houses on both sides of the road are dilapidated and depressed, you can see some corn and rice ears hanging under the eaves everywhere, I think this place must have been inhabited before, according to the number of houses, there used to be many people here, but why can't a living person see it now?

Ling Cheng pushed open a half-open vermilion lacquer door, in addition to the musty smell coming from his nose, it seemed to be mixed with a slight smell of corpse decay, he couldn't help frowning, this place was really a little weird.

The night spirit had a keen sense of smell, and walked all the way in search of the smell of decay, and walked around the simple flower bed into a bedroom, where the tables and chairs fell to the ground, and she saw that there had been a fierce fight here, and she went directly around the wooden table, and prostrate herself to look under the bed.

"Ahh

The night spirit straightened up with a startled exclamation, and Ling Cheng immediately leaned over to investigate, only to see the corpse of a child lying under the wooden bed, judging from her body shape and the degree of corpse spots, she was only about three or four years old, and the time of death had been more than seven days.

In order to see more clearly, Ling Cheng split the wooden bed with a sword, and as the sound of the wooden bed collapsing sounded, the girl's body was completely exposed in front of the two of them.

She was dressed in a pale yellow gauze skirt, with a pair of round apricot eyes on her pale face, her black and blue lips were half-open and closed, and her hands were grasped, it seemed that she must have asked for help in a panic before she died, but for some reason, no one saved her, or why didn't she climb out by herself?

Ling Cheng took a step forward and found that it was not that she didn't want to run, but that she couldn't run, only to see that one of her little feet was stuck in a narrow crack in the ground, judging from the black purple degree at the ankle and the half-off embroidered shoes, she must have tried her best to break free from this crack before she died, but her own strength was too small to do anything at all.

What is going on here? A village with no people, a ghost who doesn't know how dead she is, a girl who has no one to help, what about her parents? Dead or gone, but the huge mansion leaves her body alone, could it be that she is a child abandoned by her parents? Judging by the silver hairpin on her clothes and hair, she must be a child pampered by her parents in front of her, why is this?

"Ling Cheng, look,"

The night spirit pointed to the corpse worm crawling out of the girl's belly, and couldn't help but cover his mouth, not because he was afraid, but because he felt a little disgusting.

Ling Cheng turned the girl over with his hand, only then did he see the mucus overflowing from her abdomen and the dense corpse insects, the pale yellow dress was already sticky and dirty, if it wasn't for the proximity to Lingxi Mountain, how could she only rot her abdomen in this hot season?

Since it is the realm of Lingxi, could this harmful thing be done by the fox demon in the mountain? Ling Cheng secretly guessed, and then shook his head again, the night spirit said that the fox king had laid a barrier and trapped all the spirit foxes in Lingxi Mountain, how could he come here to make trouble?

He would not doubt what the night spirit said, and besides, he had also seen the barrier of Lingxi, so he concluded that this matter should have nothing to do with the fox clan.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Ling Cheng glanced at the girl again, and said, "Bury her first!" Then he found a shovel from the house, chose a nearby flower garden, began to shovel out a small pit, and finally picked up the girl himself, and then buried her in the small pit.

The Night Spirit looked at him quietly, and then he felt that he was so sincere that he could not only be cautious and cautious for the sake of a ghost not flying away, but also choose a place for a child covered in corpses and insects.

The first step of the long-cherished wish for peace between the two worlds of the demon was never taken by himself, from the moment Ling Cheng interceded for the little demon when he was a child, he had already taken it.

After Ling Cheng settled the girl's body, he found a water source and cleaned his hands, and then took out a set of clean white clothes from the Qiankun bag and changed into them, and then walked to the side of the night spirit, and then showed that cynical smile again.

"What do you think, are you scared, or am you fascinated by me?"

The night spirit couldn't help but laugh, he really wasn't serious, wasn't that solemn and righteous expression just now?

"It's almost noon, and the little fox should make trouble later, so let's go elsewhere and see if we can find something to eat!" The night spirit actually wanted to say that he was hungry too, but because he didn't want him to think that he was greedy, he started the battle with the little fox.

But why do you suddenly care about your image in his mind, I really don't understand?

Ling Cheng knew that she was also hungry, so he pulled her out and walked out.

The sun was blazing at noon, adding some warmth to the gloomy and deserted village, but the two of them searched all the way, except for some birds, but still did not see any other living creatures, let alone eat.

The two were silent all the way, until they got out of the road and walked into a mountain forest, a group of crows screamed noisily, and then shook off a few black feathers and disappeared into the mountain forest.

Crows feed on carrion, so it can be seen that there must be undead in front of them, Ling Cheng protected the night spirit behind him, looked around vigilantly, and slowly approached the place where the crows were infested.

The night spirit consciously followed, although he was holding the hand, but it was inevitable that he was a little flustered, this place was really weirder than the other, as simple as her, although it was a spirit, but she had never seen a ghost. Yesterday, I knew that the old man was the soul of the earth, and I was already very worried in my heart, but now I am in this barren mountain, and I can't help but be a little afraid.

It turns out that this earthly world is not as beautiful as he imagined, but fortunately, he still has him by his side to rely on, which should be regarded as an unexpected joy!

Thinking about it, Ling Cheng had already settled down, and she didn't even look back when she accidentally hit the back of his head, but the night spirit let out a painful cry, and then reached out to rub his forehead, and then followed Ling Cheng's gaze to look forward.

With just one glance, she gasped, and then hid behind Ling Cheng from the new, saying that she didn't want to look at it anymore.

I saw a scarlet blood stain hanging on the boulder under a tsubaki tree, and although the blood had dried up and coagulated, it was still eye-catching. On the side of the boulder, a slender body with crane hair and green clothes was facing the sky, and the face of the vicissitudes of life and folds had already been pecked by the crows, and even the skinny body was eaten up, revealing the white bones and some remnants of the skin, Ling Cheng relied on the crutches and body shape on the side of the deceased to determine that this was the body of the old man.

Why did the old man appear in the wilderness, and why did he see her body alone?

Ling Cheng's eyebrows frowned, there was no need to check the remnants of the old man's body, if he wanted to know what was going on here, he had to continue to check if there were any clues to be found in other places, or wait until midnight to see if he could wait for the old man's soul to return, and ask a question or two from her mouth.

"Ling Cheng, what should I do now?" Ye Ling said to break the silence, this deserted ghost place, she really didn't want to stay any longer, rather than stay here, she even preferred to stay in Lingxi, at least there are many fox sisters there, food and clothing are worry-free, in this place, even looking for a stutter is a luxury.

Ling Cheng has been practicing for more than ten years, and he has also opened the valley, and there will be nothing wrong with not eating or drinking for three days, although the night spirit is a demon, she has always been greedy, if she doesn't find food for her at this time, she should run away.

"At this time, the sun is in full bloom, the most is the time when the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining, I think that the soul will not be entrenched here, we have seen the family for so long before, and we have not found any living creatures, it is better to go to this barren mountain to try our luck, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest!"

The night spirit nodded, but his heart was a little unimpressed, could it be that he really wanted to catch rabbits to eat? Judging from the current situation, in addition to living creatures such as crows and sparrows, there are only all kinds of weeds and trees here, will there really be food?

Although he was suspicious, he couldn't delay Ling Cheng's business for the sake of eating!

When Ling Cheng stepped forward, the night spirit hurriedly followed, it was not enough for him to be pulled by his hand all the time, the other hand was still tugging at his sleeve, and the clear water looked around, always on the lookout for sudden attacks from people or demons and spirits.

Ling Cheng's expression at this time was also a little solemn, just after walking less than ten steps, he saw two huge footprint pits in front and one behind, to be precise, the claw print pit of birds and beasts, the pit was five points into the ground, and another pair would appear every other zhang. But what kind of giant birds and beasts can have such big claws? No wonder the trees around here are a little overturned, could it be that this giant beast has eaten the people of the whole town?

If this is the case, why can't the evil spirit be detected at all, and the houses in the village show no signs of serious damage?

"Night Spirit, follow me!" The justice in his heart no longer allowed him to question more, but he pulled the night spirit tighter, and then walked all the way along the claw pit, repeating hundreds of steps, and the claw pit in front of him disappeared inexplicably, and there was nothing else around except endless trees and weeds.

"Ling Cheng, there's a water source ahead, I hear it!" The night spirit let out a sound of surprise, then broke free of Ling Cheng's palm, and hurriedly ran forward, at this time she completely forgot her previous melancholy, only knowing that where there is water, there must be fish, and there is no need to be hungry if there are fish.

Ling Cheng naturally heard it, and seeing her ecstatic appearance, he had no choice but to follow.

Ye Ling had already discarded the shoes on her feet at will, lifted her skirt and stepped into a mountain spring, only to feel a chill under her feet, this situation, just like the situation when she was cultivating in the cold spring at the foot of Lingxi Mountain before, could this mountain spring flow out of the cold spring of Lingxi?

Thinking like this, she couldn't wait to strip off her clothes, soak in the water for two days, and her hands began to move.

"Ahem... , Night Spirit, what are you doing?" Ling Cheng immediately turned around and coughed dryly when he saw this, and the idea of wanting to make up for her brain was even worse than before, and he stripped in front of himself, did he really think that he was that Yanagi Hui?

The night spirit stopped moving, scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly, and forgot that Brother Feiyu was reserved for a moment, and quickly tidied up his clothes, and then walked out of the water.

"I thought there should be fish in the water, so I wanted to catch a few to satisfy my hunger, maybe there is no other food here, better than nothing!"

After Ling Cheng calmed down, he turned to face her, and saw that she was still holding the hem of her skirt, revealing half of her white and slender jade legs, and the undried water stains on her legs slid down the smooth calves to the ground, and finally hid in the sand and stones, and her heart became even more flustered.

He hurriedly withdrew his eyes, and with a wave of his big hand, the surface of the water without any waves suddenly exploded into a spring, and a few fresh fish appeared in mid-air along the spring, and when he closed his hand, all the fish fell at the feet of the night spirit.

Only then did the night spirit put down the hem of her skirt and kept clapping her hands, it turned out that spiritual power could still be used like this.

After that, Ling Cheng lit a fire and began to cook a barbecued fish feast, he lost his parents when he was young, this survival skill is a must, grilling a fish or rabbit in the wild is not a problem at all.
