As the old saying goes: if there is no water in the mountains, it is not spiritual, and people feed animals and are full of vitality. It is said that the vast world, all living beings, to constitute a living world, people, animals, and wood, all are indispensable, this is the heavenly principle of the vitality cycle, and no one can change this balance. The village that Chu Xunyu and the five people came to, although it seems that people come and go, and it is full of vitality, but there is only the existence of people, and if there are no animals, the fortune will not go, although there are trees, but they are yin wood. As long as you pay attention to it secretly, you will know that there must be something strange here, and with Shang Qian's trouble, it is not clear whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Looking at the sky outside the window gradually evening, Chu Xunyu basically had nothing to discuss, and each went back to the room to rest, all of them had something in their hearts, but no one knew what would happen at night, there was a way when the moon was dark and the night was murderous, when the wind was high and the fire was set on fire. Although there is no distinction between day and night for cultivators, they all haunt people's hearts, and unsightly things always like to happen when they can't see their fingers, and those dark faces hiding in dark corners will jump out with confidence.

Chu Xunyu, Mu Yuan and Wangchen naturally lived in the same room, and the three of them got together to chat, because the two of them who avoided Hongdaomen could speak freely, but the result was still unclear. Mu Yuan asked Chu Xunyu suspiciously: "Your family's classics are all-encompassing, have you ever mentioned that at present, although people are thriving, they are overgrown with trees and withered animals?"

Chu Xunyu sighed helplessly: "This situation is actually not uncommon, it is deliberately arranged by many great supernatural beings in order to achieve a certain purpose, but at present, in this mountain village, except for knowing these phenomena on the surface, I don't know anything about other conditions, and I have to dig out all kinds of clues carefully, otherwise I can't find Senior Sister Shang Qian." ”

"The clues are ready-made. Wangchen put forward his opinion, "Those corpses are very incomprehensible, Chu Xiaoyou, your family has a lot of dealings with corpses, dare to ask if you have ever encountered such a situation?"

"It's very common. Chu Xunyu recalled, "Those corpses have long since died, but they were killed by Senior Sister Shang Qian's method of using the Daoist method, which means that although their bodies died early, they can still move, Senior Sister Shang Qian saw this, and took action on the spot, in this case, many sects can do it, but the means are high and low, such as Maoshan's corpse refining method, Laoshan's soul restoration technique, etc., etc., if you count the magic of the Demon Dao and the small sect's unpopular exercises, I'm afraid there will be thousands." You should be very clear about such a thing, why do you still ask such a question?"

Wangchen shook his head, stretched out two fingers and asked, "If we put these living dead in this strange little mountain village, what clues will we have?" ”

"That's ......," Chu Xunyu shook his head, "That's not easy, I've never heard of such a technique." ”

The three of them were discussing, but they didn't notice, but the night was quietly falling, when a crescent moon hung under the starry sky, the three of them suddenly knocked on the door of the room, and they heard the voice of the moon watching Xiaosheng outside: "Three, come out quickly, something happened." ”

"Oh, good. Chu Xunyu and the three of them hurriedly got up and were about to go out, but as soon as they pushed the door, they found that the door was locked from the outside, which was really strange.

Mu Yuan smiled and shouted to the door: "Why do you still play this kind of trick, it's all left over from my play." ”

At this time, the sound of unlocking came from outside the door, and then after the door opened, Guanyue Xiaosheng stood in front of everyone with a serious face, followed by Mei Wan, he raised the door lock in his hand, "This is not locked by us, and our door does not know when, it was locked from the outside." ”

"What?" The three of them were taken aback, Chu Xunyu hurriedly took the lock and took a look, this is the most ordinary string copper lock among mortals, how can it be locked outside?

Moon Watching Xiaosheng reminded everyone at this time: "Everyone, now this lock is not the point, everyone hurry up and take a look at the whole village." ”

The three of them closed their eyes, their senses were slightly released, and after a week, they were all taken aback, opened their eyes, looked at each other, and asked in surprise, "What about people?"

It turned out that the huge Xiangyangtun couldn't even see a living person, quietly, dead silence, as if there had never been a villager.

The five people hurriedly rushed out of Lao Zhangtou's house, stood on the dirt road at the door, and looked at the darkness of the whole village, reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, quietly, all the houses were still the same as during the day, except for the living people, only the heat slowly breathing from their mouths, slowly rising in this cold winter night. Mu Yuan looked up, except for the stars above his head, the other four people around him, he couldn't help but feel a little cold, and pulled Chu Xunyu and asked, "I said, did you say it in your family's book, what is the situation?"

"This ......" Chu Xunyu also looked at the surrounding environment in disbelief, it was simply incredible, he had never heard of a record of a village of people disappearing so silently, not to mention that his five big living people were in the village, if there were any other spells cast by cultivators, it would be impossible to hide from his ears and eyes, let alone bypass a few people around him, and act on these mortals.

Guanyue Xiaosheng brought torches from the house, handed them to everyone, and lit them one after another, at this time Chu Xunyu proposed: "Let's check the village, what's going on here, I'm afraid that several other villages, too, at night, there is not a single big living person to see, no wonder it is too quiet." ”

"Not bad. Mu Yuan nodded, "Although it is weird here, we cultivators have never believed in ghosts and gods, there must be, but we are never afraid, even if it appears, it will be corrected on the spot." ”

"Okay, let's go and have a look together, and we must not be scattered, so as not to have an accident, and we should not be in a hurry. ”

Five people holding torches, quietly walking on the country dirt road, in this dark night, the small firelight, it seems particularly abrupt, the houses around them, whether it is the door, or the window, are pitch black, as if there has never been the breath of a living person.

Chu Xunyu casually pushed open a door, "squeak-" sound, the wooden door opened, the five people walked into the house, saw that the oil lamp on the table was still there, so they lit it easily, a small fire lit up the surroundings, and there was a cup of tea next to it, tried it with his hand, and said: "There is also a slight feeling of heat, which means that the person has just disappeared." ”

The people couldn't help but wonder what had happened to make the people of this village disappear silently when the sun was setting? Now that the sky is just dark, it stands to reason that it should be the lights of thousands of homes, and why is it so quiet when they have dinner together? Strange, very strange.

"Huh, this family is very rich, and there is actually a second floor!" Mu Yuan couldn't help but wonder when he saw a staircase around the corner.

"Yes. Chu Xunyu nodded, "Let's go up and take a look, this is one of the few big families in this village." With that, he led them up to the second floor.

The second floor seems to be a study, but this time there is no oil lamp on the table, fortunately, the brightness of the torches of the five people is not low, and they can illuminate a rough idea, looking left and right for a while, and they didn't find anything strange, just quietly put some scattered books on the desk, and there are a lot of Tang poems and Song poems on the shelves.

"There was nothing but the five of us. Guanyue Xiaosheng said.

"Who said that. Mu Yuan grinned and pointed to his side, it turned out that there was a painting hanging on the wall next to him, the painting was a woman, holding a palace fan, with a bit of elegance, but unfortunately the painting skills were rough and there was no level, presumably the owner of the house painted it himself, "And this female donor." ”

Everyone gave him a blank look, when was it, still coughing, too lazy to pay attention to him, continued to look around, Mu Yuan saw that no one paid attention to him, couldn't help but be a little bored, and left the place, ready to see if others had found out, at this time Mei Wan suddenly had a wonderful idea, he wanted to see if there was a payment on the painting, maybe he could know what the name of the owner of this house was, so he went to the front to check, but unfortunately, after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find it, it is estimated that the master practiced strokes, and there was no word.

She turned around in disappointment, ready to call everyone away, and suddenly, at this time, the woman's eyes on the painting moved, staring at Mei Wan's back, and a big dark hand stretched out from the painting, towards Mei Wan's back, slowly attacking, Mei Wan was about to call everyone, without noticing at all.

"What person!" Chu Xunyu suddenly shouted, turned around, stared at Mei Wan, and made everyone inexplicable.

Mei Wan looked down at herself, then turned to look around, everything was still the same, and she couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's wrong with Senior Brother Chu?"

"En?" Chu Xunyu was also stunned, obviously there was nothing, but his feelings were definitely not wrong, the perennial battlefield battle career and the psychic five senses trained in the polar land, it was obvious to tell himself that just now, there was a sixth person.

Chu Xunyu pulled out the long sword, walked over slowly, and made a gesture to Mei Wan to get out of the way, Mei Wan understood in her heart, gently moved away, revealing the painting on the wall, Chu Xunyu came closer, looked to the right, looked up and down for a long time, but to no avail, finally gave up, turned around and shook his head at everyone: "It's okay, maybe I'm too careful." ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the eyes of the woman in the painting, using the purple moon demon pupil, one of the four stunts of the Medicine King Mansion family, Chu Xunyu's right eye flashed with a strange brilliance, and in such a short moment, the eyes of the woman in the painting actually trembled.

Chu Xunyu roared: "Come out!", he didn't use his long sword, he had to catch the live mouth, so he used his left hand, hard and straight, and grabbed it directly, through the drawing paper, straight into the wooden board of the wall, only to hear a "boom", the wall was forced out of a big hole by Chu Xunyu, and his arm was still inserted in it, a stir, a fierce pull, and the result was just a ball of sawdust.

"What's wrong with you?" Guanyue Xiaosheng walked over, looked carefully at the big hole in the wall, could see through the hole, outside, the cold wind gusted, and looked at Chu Xunyu's palm, and asked suspiciously: "Are you too careful?"

Chu Xunyu was also very puzzled, his speed was so fast, it was difficult for ordinary monsters to escape, how could he not catch anything. Mu Yuan walked over with a smile, pointed to the big hole in the wall, and said, "Let's leave quickly, otherwise tomorrow the master will come back, and we will help him mend the wall." ”

"Is it because I'm too careful?" Chu Xunyu began to shake a little, but it was clear that at that moment, he really saw something, but everyone's divine consciousness was always released, and they didn't sense the appearance of a foreign object.

At this time, Mei Wan was still careful, she bent down, picked up the drawing paper, and said to everyone: "Just now, something came here, look!" Everyone looked at it, only to see that the body of the woman on the paper was dug out by Chu Xunyu A big hole, but her eyes were hollowed out, that is to say, what was indeed hidden in this line of painting just now......

The wall was torn through the hole, and a cold wind blew, blowing everyone's fever and mind......
