In the empty mountains, occasionally the withered yellow leaves are blown off by the autumn wind, fluttering and swaying, and sprinkled on the ground.

Ma Cheng sincerely held a jasper walking stick given by Wu Lao before parting, looked at the young man with light steps in front of him, and smiled to himself.

The young man in front of him seems to have been reborn, not referring to the root bones, but in the heart, like a dark ancient well, which has finally regained its sight, and the sunlight is sprinkled into the well, and the water is sparkling.

This trip to Qingyao County was originally intended by Ma Cheng to let Dong Nanyan change his mind through this trip, see the benefits of cultivation, and accept the tips.

Now it seems that the goal has been achieved, the lifeless boy seems to be full of vitality, the sad young man in the past, this parting, is not sad and sad!

Thinking of the immature fist hugging before the young girl parted, the old man shook his head and smiled, what a big brother and little brother.

Dong Nanyan stopped slightly, waiting for the old man behind, before parting, Cao Wan'er quietly told him that in two years, she would take two high-quality horses, the kind that can travel thousands of miles a day, to find him in Linanzhen. The girl said angrily: "Little Brother Dong, you have to work hard, don't be able to ride a horse when the time comes, when the time comes, walking the rivers and lakes and sitting behind the eldest brother will make the eldest brother very faceless." ”

The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the young man's face, and the young man had a smile on his face, and he must work hard, so that after two years, he will not embarrass his friends by walking the rivers and lakes.

Ma walked unhurriedly to Dong Yanyan's side, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, how is it, I have gained a lot of knowledge this trip." ”

Dong Nanyan nodded a little shyly, he used to be probably the frog at the bottom of the well written in the book.

Picking up a falling leaf, Ma smiled sincerely: "In the future, you will find that the outside world is so big that you can't imagine that many people may not even be able to go out of Qingyao County in their lifetime, and some people may cross countless mountains and rivers in one step." ”

Dong Yanyan nodded, and a crystal drop of water in his arms emitted a faint light, which was sent by Qiao Zhuangyuan, who came out of the Qingbai River when Ma Chengxin and his party were separated from Qingyao County.

The man who was filled with water vapor said that he didn't know how to thank the immortal masters for their great kindness, these water droplets are the essence of water transportation accumulated by the Qingbai River for so many years, and they can be worn on the body to assist in cultivation, I hope that the immortal masters can accept it, otherwise the man will always feel embarrassed in his heart.

The man who sent out the water droplets patted his head, smiled apologetically at Dong Yanyan, forgot something, he originally wanted to bring a book to the young man, and the book fell down the Qingbai River along with the bookbox. It's just that the man came in a bit of a hurry and forgot. Dong Nanyan hurriedly said that it didn't matter, just take it as a thought, and next time I have the opportunity to come again, it's not too late to see it.

It was getting dark, and Ma looked into the distance from the mountain, "Xiaoyou, after the village in front of you, it is Linan Town, should we rest in this village, or should we hurry up and go back tonight?"

Dong Nanyan smiled: "Let's rush back in one go." ”

At the foot of the mountain, the village on the border of Shinnan was pitch black.

An old man and a young man walked into the village, the village was much bigger than the town from Nanzhen, the sun was going down, but there was no fireworks in the village, every household did not turn on a lamp, but the streets were crowded with people, there were groups of vendors, and strangely, there was no sound of selling.

Dong Nanyan glanced at Ma Chengxin, Ma Chengxin nodded and shook his head, his mind swept away, there was nothing abnormal, this village seemed to be a dumb village.

In the crowded crowd on the street, a little girl accidentally bumped into Dong Nanyan, and was about to fall to the ground, but was held by a man in a loose black robe behind her.

Dong smiled apologetically at the little girl, the little girl nodded, and walked forward, followed by a man in a loose black robe.

Walking out of the village, Ma asked sincerely, "Think something is wrong?"

Dong Nanyan nodded, "It's so strange, why don't you light the lights in the village, don't light the fire to cook, and don't speak?"

The trekking stick gently tapped the ground, and Ma Cheng was also a little puzzled, "It's a little weird, but we just investigated, and there is no problem." ”

Dong Yanyan thought for a while and asked, "Why don't we go back and have a look?"

Ma thought about it for a moment, turned around and said, "Let's go, we..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Looking at the old man's line of sight, the village he had just walked through had already turned into a tomb field.

On the grave, a white lantern was hung high, and the little girl who hit Dong Nanyan on the street stood under the lantern with her back to the outside.

A whimper sounded, the girl's body did not move, but her head turned around, facing the old and the young, and opened her mouth and smiled: "Since you have gone out, why do you have to turn back?"

The bruised girl covered her mouth and smiled: "Could it be that you are reluctant to give up?"

A hand suddenly stretched out from the grave, and the man in a loose black robe stood up, carried the girl on his shoulder, and strode forward.

Ma Chengxin's face was solemn, he protected Dong Yanyan's body, his whole body was circulating, and he slapped forward with his palm.

There was a gust of black smoke in front of Dong Nanyan, and the young man closed his eyes.

In the next moment, Dong Nanyan was standing in front of the street again, the scattered figures on the street, the cooking smoke of the houses on both sides rose, the lights were shining, and an accidentally little girl bumped into him.

"I'm sorry, little brother, I didn't mean to. ", the girl apologized.

The little girl in front of her said delicately: "Little brother, what's wrong with you, can't you find your way home?"

The young man looked around him, and Ma Xinxin was no longer there.

What's going on?

Dong Nanyan lowered his head, he really couldn't connect the innocent and cute little girl with two pigtails in front of him and the little girl standing on the tomb.

"Little brother, why don't you speak", the little girl tilted her head, her voice immature.

Standing on the street, Dong Nanyan took advantage of the lights to look around.

It's still that village, you won't be mistaken, but what the hell is going on, why did the village become a tomb, and why did you come back here?

The little girl pulled the corner of Dong Yanyan's clothes, "Little brother, are you looking for that old man again?"

Pointing to the back of Dong Nanyan, the girl smiled: "That old man said that he has something to deal with." ”

Dong Nanyan stared at the little girl in front of him, on the way to Qingyao County, Cao Wan'er told him that there are some lonely ghosts, the best at transfiguration, which looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, it confuses people's hearts and makes people relax their vigilance.

Dong Nanyan, who was listening to it on horseback at that time, hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do, how can I tell if it is a ghost." ”

Cao Wan'er said triumphantly: "Ordinary ghosts and ghosts will not appear in the daytime, they are generally lonely ghosts, who like to transform and tempt people to take people's lives, I have a law in Linjiang Palace, which can make ghosts and ghosts current, how about it, little brother, do you want to learn from the eldest brother?"

At that time, Dong Yanyan shook his head, Cao Wan'er saw that Dong Yanyan didn't answer, and sat on horseback to pinch the trick to demonstrate, but the young man hurriedly turned his head after watching it for a while, and the angry girl sat on the horseback and shouted loudly.

On the small street, Dong Nanyan pinched the trick with both hands, it was exactly the same as Cao Wan'er's demonstration on horseback at that time, the score was exactly the same, the boy didn't want to learn, but the boy only watched it once and remembered it.

"The sky is bright, the sky is blue, the ghosts are ghostly, and they are quickly revealed!"

Dong Nanyan was just about to follow Cao Wan'er's demonstration, stretched out his hand to point to the little girl in front of him, but he never thought that the little girl was one step ahead of Dong Nanyan and pulled up the young man's finger.

"Little brother, why don't you go to my house and sit down, it's going to be dark, and when the old man comes back, you can go with him." The little girl was not timid at all, and pulled the teenager's fingers and shook them.

Dong Nanyan withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'll just wait here, otherwise I won't be able to find me when I come back, and that old man will be in a hurry." ”

After the little girl was rejected, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, "Okay, goodbye, little brother." ”

Watching the little girl step out of her sight step by step, Dong Nanyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then took his little hand, which was as cold as ice and snow in winter!

Dong Nanyan knew that something must have happened, the scene on the tomb must be real, but he didn't know why he was here now, thinking of the scene on the tomb, beads of sweat oozed from the young man's forehead.
