Zheng Ang pondered for a while and said, "I often hear people talk about Baihua Valley, but I don't know where it is. Brother Shangguan, when I was in Kuizhou, I heard someone say that I often see a lot of girls with swords, but I don't know where those girls came from, maybe they are from Baihua Valley. ”

Shangguan Yun originally asked casually, but he didn't know that there was really some news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said happily: "Brother Zheng, did that person say where those girls walked?"

Zheng Ang said: "It is said that it is in the Shizhou area, but the specific location is unknown. ”

Shangguan Yun was overjoyed, he didn't want to delay for half a moment, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Zheng, I still have important matters, you and I will say goodbye to each other and meet in the future." ”

Zheng Ang hugged his fists and said politely: "Today, with the great grace of Brother Shangguan, Zheng will be repaid in the future, please!"

Shangguan Yun went up the river bank along the river, turned southwest to Shizhou in Badong, and although there was only more than 300 miles of road from Shizhou to Shizhou, this road was full of high mountains and steep mountains, and cliffs were everywhere.

On this day, he had arrived in Shizhou, and Shangguan Yun planned to look for people again, but before he entered the city, he saw several seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls coming out of Shizhou City. These girls are extremely beautiful, they are all dressed as Han Chinese, and each of them carries a small backpack, obviously to buy some daily things. Most of the people here are Tumiao barbarians, except for some Central Plains businessmen who come here to do business, it is basically extremely difficult to see a Han person, looking at the appearance of those girls, it must not be from the local ordinary family.

Shangguan Yun no longer entered the city, and quietly followed behind several young girls to see where they came from. He followed the girls to the northwest for thirty or forty miles, and came to a large mansion by the river, while the girls went into the village.

At this time, it was still daytime, and Shangguan Yun didn't dare to go in to investigate, so he turned back to the city, planning to inquire in the city first to find out where the Zhuangzi was. Shangguan Yun sat down in a restaurant for merchants to rest, asked for a few dishes and a few steamed buns, and said to the man: "Little brother, let me ask you, where is the Zhuangzi by the river thirty or forty miles northwest of Shizhou City?"

The guy smiled and said, "Guest officer, you must be coming to us for the first time when you ask like this, I don't know if I guessed right?"

Shangguan Yun saw that the guy didn't answer, but asked himself a question, thinking that this person was really verbose. He was anxious to inquire about the news, so he suppressed his temperament and nodded: "Little brother is really good eyesight, I am indeed the first time to come to Shizhou." I saw that the terrain around the Zhuangzi was good, so I wanted to see which one was so blessed and chose such a place with wind and water to build a house. ”

The guy still smiled and said: "I don't look at the good terrain of the Zhuangzi, but the girl in the village?!"

Shangguan Yun sighed when he heard this, he didn't expect this guy to look at himself like this, he didn't know what to do for a while, he looked at the guy in a daze, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Seeing Shangguan Yun's stunned appearance, the guy lowered his head and said softly: "I advise the guest officer not to fight those girls' ideas, they are all very powerful, and if they don't do it, they will lose their lives." ”

Shangguan Yun came back to his senses, frowned and said, "Why is this?"

The guy still said softly: "Within a radius of 100 miles from Shizhou, who doesn't know that Bishui Village, those girls are all made of fox spirits, don't look at their good births, but they all want human lives." In the past, there were a few bold rich sons who wanted to provoke them, but somehow, one by one, the sturdy men who were originally uninjured died at home for no reason. Those people's families asked them to see it, and they didn't even know how they died, so you can tell me, weren't those sons hooked by the fox spirit?"

Shangguan Yunxin said: "Those girls are some kind of villains, otherwise why would they want to kill people?" He didn't answer, but just asked: "Is that Zhuangzi called Bishui Village? I don't know whose family?"

The guy shook his head and said, "I don't know this little one, anyway, those girls will come to the city every once in a while to buy rice and salt, and the guest officer can go to the shopkeeper of the rice shop to inquire." But the guest officer must not think crookedly, otherwise the little life will be lost, but don't blame the little one for not reminding you. ”

Shangguan Yun smiled: "That's that, I want to thank you for reminding me of this." ”

When the guy heard this, he looked at Shangguan Yun with a smile, but he didn't speak.

Shangguan Yun understood that he was asking for a reward, so he generously gave him a few taels of silver.

The guy smiled more earnestly and said, "Wait a minute, the steamed buns and side dishes will come soon, and the little one will help you urge it." Then he staggered downstairs.

Shangguan Yun had eaten the food and sat straight in this restaurant until dark, and then went out of the city, planning to go to Nabi Water Village to investigate. He made a light effort and rushed to Bishui Village, and it didn't take long to get to the outside of the village, but he didn't want to see that it was dark in the village, Shangguan Yun said to himself: "It's not yet time, did the girl in the village fall asleep so early?"

He crept to the front of the village, and looked through the crack in the door, but there was no one to be seen. Shangguan Yun pulled out the Red Blood Divine Sword, gently opened the door bolt, he pushed the door in, and reflexively closed the door, and then quietly entered the courtyard.

Shangguan Yun quietly came to the outside of the east wing, gently poked a small hole in the window paper with his fingers, and blew some ** into the small hole. After a while, when the occupants of the room were asleep, he unleashed the door of the room, walked lightly to the bed, and burned the fire on the bed, and saw that a large carved bed was empty, and there was not even a mat or pillow, and there was no one to sleep. Looking at the house, there are all kinds of utensils such as wooden cabinets, tables and stools, but the dust on them is old and thick, and it seems that no one has been to this room for a long time.

He stepped back and opened the door next door, which was still the same. Shangguan Yun secretly felt strange, he obviously watched several girls enter the Zhuangzi during the day, and he didn't want to see two rooms, but there was no one. He didn't give up, and opened the other doors one by one, and was busy for nearly two hours, looking at more than thirty rooms, but finally found nothing. All the rooms are normal, not only are there no people in the room, but dust is accumulating.

Shangguan Yun remembered what the guy in the restaurant said during the day, and he didn't feel his heart palpitate, could it be that those girls were really fox spirits turned into human form? Why didn't there be a single figure in this village? Shangguan Yun only felt a chill down his back, even the weather in August and September was like a biting cold wind, and he stood in this room, feeling even more cold as an ice cellar, and his hands and feet were almost trembling. Shangguan Yun didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly got out of Zhuangzi, walking like a fly like a breeze under his feet, and he ran outside Shizhou City not long after.
