"What happened last night, the wind blew all night. It was so noisy that I couldn't sleep. Lin Xi yawned as he asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper just told Lin Xi in a daze that it was too windy last night, and there was nothing else.

The knock on the door last night was very weird, causing the shopkeeper to not wake up now, there was no blood on his face, his eyes were even hazy, and he couldn't even talk to Lin Xi.

As long as he is not a fool, he can see that the shopkeeper experienced some strange things last night, Lin Xi asked him if he was sleepwalking last night, why was he delirious. The shopkeeper just said perfunctorily that he didn't sleep well last night and couldn't sleep all night.

Lin Xi patted the shopkeeper and told him that if he couldn't sleep tonight, he would come and chat with him, and he would chat with him until dawn.

The shopkeeper nodded, and went to busy himself with his own affairs without saying more, as if he was afraid that he would miss something.

Lin Xi didn't ask again, although the movement last night was short, but for Lin Xi, who had a breathing method, he could hear it clearly. He didn't dare to sleep all night, and was ready to get up at any time, until Lin Xi fell asleep peacefully after Xiao Wu's roar.

Lin Xi got up early this morning, and didn't rest for a while because of yesterday's fatigue.

He did not dare to sleep for a long time, firstly because he had not had the habit of sleeping lazily since he was a child, and secondly, because although the strange knock on the door last night was stopped by Xiao Wu, but that was under the premise that Xiao Wu was still in this restaurant, Xiao Wu left early in the morning, and Lin Xi also woke up at that time.

"Did you hear the demonic wind last night? ”

"That's not it, my dog barked all night last night, no matter how it barked, it couldn't stop, if we couldn't go out at night here, I really wanted to go out to see if it was a monster or a monster outside. ”

"Did you know that last night the souls of another family and children were snatched away by ghosts. ”

"It's rare and weird, I heard a knock on the door last night, but it's a common thing, as long as you don't open the door, it doesn't matter. ”

There are not many people in this restaurant in the morning, and there are always some old men who get up early in the morning to come here to chat a few words, and these older generations are also frequent customers in this restaurant.

These old men can be said to be old antiques here, and any one of them is almost 100 years old. Witnessed the history of this place for decades, so they have experienced almost all the big and small things here.

Lin Xi ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of tea to sit next to these old men, and asked them to drink tea together.

A young man who didn't know him at all suddenly asked you to drink tea, several old men looked at each other, then looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Boy, which baby are you, haven't you seen it." ”

"What is this family, this is obviously not our baby, boy, where are you from, what are you doing here?"

These old men are very old, and they get together every day just to chat a few words, and now there is a stranger, so I have to find some material from him, so that it will be convenient to chat in the future.

Lin Xi replied politely: "My name is Liu Ye, I just arrived here yesterday, I am not too familiar with this place, I see that you are chatting so hotly, so I came to ask you about some things here." ”

As soon as it came to asking for advice, one of the uncles surnamed Wang instantly became interested and said: "Oh, boy, you are lucky to have met me, I have lived here the longest, what do you know?"

"Come on, you old thing. When I was a child, I beat me and cried, why don't you talk about it, and you still want to brag in front of your juniors. Boy, ask me any questions, I'm the oldest here. Another old man followed.

The third old man couldn't help it, and directly patted the table and stood up and said: "You two are getting more and more confused, I am the biggest here, I washed the diapers of both of you when I was a child." Ask me if you have anything, but I don't want tea right now, I just want a little wine. After speaking, he glanced at Lin Xi. The other two old men were angry and ready to lift the bench and beat him.

Lin Xi was speechless, he just thought that these three old men were very easy to talk to, but he never expected that they were three old naughty boys.

Yes, the old naughty boy has a strange personality and is the most troublesome, while the three of them are arguing, Lin Xi hurriedly got up and hid as far as he could.

"Hey, bum, that kid is going to be scared away by you. Uncle Wang noticed Lin Xi's action about to slip away and hurriedly stopped it.

The other old man took Lin Xi's hand and said to the other two: "Look at this kid, you two fight, if you die, my ears will be quiet." ”

Lin Xi had no choice but to say to the old man who wanted to drink just now: "No, I don't want to run This old man wants to drink? I'll go and call two pots of wine." So let's take our time. ”

After Lin Xi said this, the old man was so excited that he removed the other old man's hand from Lin Xi, and then looked at the two of them with a smile.

Uncle Wang shouted: "By the way, this kid must know that I like to drink rice wine here, and he specially wants to buy a pot to honor me." ”

"Bah, the older you get, the more shameless you become. This kid was clearly talking to me. Boy, leave him alone, go and order a pot of rice porridge and wine, I'll tell you whatever you want to know, anyway, we're still an interesting place here, hehe. ”

"Daughter Hong!" cried the last old man.

Lin Xi nodded to each of them, afraid that they would fight again, and then quickly slipped over to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper told Lin Xi with a smile that the three old men were Old Man Chen, Old Man Wang, and Old Man Deng. Among them, Old Man Wang is the oldest, but he is not much older, at most one or two years older than the two of them.

It is worth mentioning that these three old men are indeed living fossils here, and the three of them have not been convinced by anyone since they were young, so they will not admit defeat at this age. Of course, the people of this place have a lot of respect for the three of them.

Lin Xi understood, it seems that the three old men must know something about last night's incident. There was no choice but to chat with the three of them for a while, and Lin Xi told the shopkeeper that the three of them liked to drink a pot of wine.

As soon as the three pots of wine were served, the three old men looked at Lin Xi and said, "Boy, you are a smart person with the demeanor I had back then. Say, what do you want to know?"

"Three old men, I didn't mean to disturb you, but I heard the strangeness outside the door last night, and then I woke up in the morning just in time to hear you talking about it, so I want to know what not to do and what to do. Lin Xi spoke very slowly, and his voice was very soft, and he said it very clearly, word by word.

Uncle Chen took a sip of wine and said with relish: "This was a year ago, one day we came here with a Taoist chief, saying that we are an ominous place, let us pay him to help us resolve the crisis here, do you think, everyone is not stupid, he said that this place is unknown, of course, they are not willing to pay." ”

Uncle Chen finished speaking, and was about to take a sip of wine in the previous paragraph, but this pause was directly interrupted by Uncle Deng and said: "Unknown, hum! I think it's his ghost." When the Taoist saw that we didn't give us any money, he told us that something was definitely going on at night, and everyone didn't believe him, but they didn't come out at night. Well, the next day, two of the children were delirious, and they were told that they had lost their souls. Uncle Deng showed a little sadness on his face.

At their age, they have basically seen the growth of several generations here, and say that they have no blood relationship with the younger generation here, but after all, they are the babies who have grown up by themselves, and they don't want to call grandpa on the street?

Uncle Wang patted Uncle Deng on the back to comfort him, and then said, "As they said, this is the strange thing we have here. ”

Lin Xi asked, "Isn't there anyone who suspects that the Dao Leader is the ghost?" Why didn't anyone of you investigate this matter?"

Uncle Wang said slowly: "How can we not track it down, the next day our younger generation here found the Taoist chief and questioned him, and he told us that as long as we pay the money and ask the gods to come down to earth to settle this matter." In desperation, some families who were afraid that their children would be hooked paid money one after another. Nothing happened that night, and everyone trusted him even more. ”

"So, the matter is settled?"

"If only that were the case, a few days later there was another incident of the child losing his soul one night. Hey, the Taoist explained to us that this place was too restless, and that we could only suppress that filthy thing, and we couldn't eradicate it all at once. Uncle Wang sighed and took a sip of wine.

"Does it mean that the dirty thing you said still has to come out, but it doesn't come out at a long interval?" Lin Xi then asked.

"That's right, one or two families have an accident in a month, and the Taoist chief told us that as long as this year passes, it will be fine, which stabilized the hearts of people in this area. Of course, it's a bad thing, and almost all outsiders like you have an accident when they come here. After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he let out a long breath, with a slight guilt on his face.

Lin Xi smiled bitterly: "No wonder no one mentioned this matter to me when they came here, they wanted to protect themselves and let us go as substitutes for the dead......

Uncle Wang was noncommittal. Uncle Chen looked at the other two people who didn't speak, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, don't resent the people here, because there has been no accident here for a long time, it is estimated that the dirty thing has been taken away by the gods, if you are afraid, just leave early, you can't go out and talk nonsense about our hometown." ”

Lin Xi nodded and said, "I'm already very grateful that you can tell me this, I won't leave, I want to see what will happen at night, otherwise I won't know anything and leave, it's a pity." ”

After Lin Xi finished speaking, the three old men looked at him at the same time, they all thought that this kid was absolutely crazy, and hurriedly told Lin Xi to get out of the way and not hinder them from drinking. Lin Xi got up, arched his hand at them, and walked outside.

The shopkeeper looked at the young man and stopped talking, and the old man Wang walked up to him and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense about this matter, young people have their own measure." ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "I listen to you, Uncle Wang." ”

On the top of the mountain, Xiao Feiyun looked at his master without saying a word, hoping that he could give him an explanation.

Xiao Wu really couldn't do anything about his disciple, he said, "Do you know how precious that Zihuo is?"

"Of course the disciple knows, I watched you desperately get it, but you said that the Zihuo is extremely dangerous, and it must be suppressed by the mother fire, otherwise ordinary cultivation will definitely be eaten by it. ”

Xiao Wu nodded and continued: "Do you know that the willow leaf was not only not counterattacked, but absorbed it into his own weapon. ”

Xiao Feiyun's eyes widened and said, "Impossible, even the eleventh floor of your life spring can't control the separated Zihuo, how can he absorb it." ”

"The teacher was also surprised, I don't know why. But I know he must be a stumbling block in your path. So that had to be put on hold for a while. Xiao Wu said very plainly.

"Master, that's an order from the ancestor, you have to disobey it!" Xiao Feiyun looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

Xiao Wu said softly: "Of course I won't disobey the ancestor's order, and I didn't say anything back." ”

"Master, you're trying to kill him!Go back and save him!" Xiao Feiyun almost shouted.

Xiao Feiyun can't really like Lin Xi, but he doesn't mean to hurt others, from childhood to adulthood, he has suffered more than anyone else in the Xiao family, and the road he has traveled is longer than anyone else, these are all real, without a little water.

Now that Xiao Wu asked him to avoid the young man and use a trick to get rid of Lin Xi, Xiao Feiyun certainly couldn't understand it.

He felt that even if he was inferior to the other party, it was only temporary.

"Confused, you know how powerful he is, even if you use the realm of the third floor of the Lifespring to fight him, as long as it is a life-and-death fight, it will definitely be him! Xiao Wu scolded.

Xiao Wu had high expectations for this disciple, and he didn't want his disciple to have such a big block in front of him.

Xiao Feiyun smiled bitterly: "Master, if you don't save him, my Dao heart will collapse today, which is more cruel than killing me." ”

Xiao Wu didn't say more, and with a finger of his right hand, he fixed where his apprentice was, and he sighed, ready to forcibly take him back. Suddenly, Xiao Feiyun's whole body was radiating light, and his powerful spiritual power fluctuated, and the earth trembled.

One-storey, two-storey, three-storey building, three-story lifespring!

Xiao Wu muttered to himself: "Okay, today as a teacher, I will suppress the realm to fight with you on the third floor of the Destiny Spring, if you win, I will save people, if you lose......"

Before Xiao Wu could finish speaking, a gust of wind struck directly, Xiao Wu smiled slightly, and blocked it with an easy punch. Then a series of winds came one after another, menacing, with a weight of dozens of catties, which made people feel awe and dare not compete with it.

It's just that Xiao Wu is no longer in that position, and there is only one afterimage of him left.

"It's not a good habit to shoot before the words are finished. ”

Xiao Wu appeared on Xiao Feiyun's side, smiling.
