Because things changed suddenly, Chu Xunyu and the five of them didn't care about riding horses to find out the news, so they went directly to Changbai Mountain, and decided to do whatever they could to find Shang Qian, so in just half a day, the five of them arrived at the town where the two disciples under the Hongdaomen temporarily lived.

As soon as she entered the gate of the town, she could see two low-level disciples standing at the gate waiting anxiously, Mei Wan didn't care about the mortals coming and going around her, and walked over directly and asked, "What's going on?"

"Miss, something is wrong. One of the disciples said with a sad face, "We don't know anything yet, we just arrived at the village under the mountain, and we wanted to contact the senior brothers who arrived first, but there was no news, so we didn't even dare to enter the village, so we will inform you immediately." ”

Chu Xunyu asked: "What is the situation, it's not a matter to say it here, you take us there, and you talk to us on the way." ”

"Well, this ......" The two disciples looked at each other, not knowing who he was, and they both looked at Guanyue Xiaosheng and Mei Wan suspiciously.

Mei Wan nodded, signaling that it didn't matter, so the two disciples took them out of the city and walked in the direction of the mountain. On the way, I told the matter a rough idea, it turned out that Hongdaomen sent some disciples to inquire about the news a few months ago, but it was a shift system, every once in a while, there would be other disciples to hand over the class, these two disciples were the most recent to come, because there were some private matters in the door, so it was delayed for a day, it was just such a coincidence, so they escaped a catastrophe.

They arrived at their destination that night, and hurriedly stood at the entrance of the village to contact their companions, but there was no news, so they were so puzzled, climbed the big tree, took a look, and were startled, a huge village, at night there was not even a light, dead silence, it was really strange, after all, the two of them were born in the demon gate, and they naturally knew that there was something strange about this kind of thing, so they didn't dare to make a mistake, they were about to retreat, and they were about to go back, when they suddenly saw the other side of the village, there was a firelight slowly going inside, and the two of them were a little curious, so they quietly went around to see what was going on。

Hiding in the bushes, the two of them held their breath and contemplated, and found that it was a young woman, carrying a guqin and a torch in her hand, and seemed to be looking around curiously, all the way into the village with such a swagger. The two of them were startled, they didn't dare to make a noise, they turned around and ran back, and then after thinking about it, they always felt that this person was a little familiar, and suddenly recalled, isn't this one of the few people who Guanyue Xiaosheng told them to pay attention to?

"What?" When Mu Yuan heard this, his nose was crooked, and he screamed strangely at the moment, "You two know that there are tigers in the mountains, but you still don't stop Senior Sister Shang Qian, just watching her sneak in? ”

The two disciples cried with sad faces, and they were also very aggrieved: "This senior brother, this is not our fault, the order we received is only to observe the movements of the Spirit Sect, and other things, there are not many mouths, this is outside the mouth, there are foreign masters everywhere, where do we dare to stretch out our heads indiscriminately, and we don't know that woman." ”

"You ......" Mu Yuan picked up a branch on the ground casually, pulled it indiscriminately, and shouted, "I'm angry, I'm angry." Obviously you are lazy and stupid, and you still dare to quibble, come on, let me smoke two hundred strokes first. ”

"Alright, alright. Chu Xunyu hurriedly grabbed him, "It won't help if you just smoke them to death, things are all out, now think about it, how to save people." ”

"Oh, yes. Mu Yuan snorted angrily, "You two bastard boys must make meritorious service to atone for your sins, first talk about the environment there, and don't hide it." ”

The two disciples replied helplessly: "The trail we are walking on now, there is only one exit, and you can see that village, called 'Xiangyangtun', around the area of Changbai Mountain, there are only five people, there are only five tuns, of which this Xiangyangtun is the largest, we didn't dare to go in, and other things are not very clear." ”

"Yes. Chu Xunyu nodded, and said to Guanyue Xiaosheng: "Brother Guanyue, let them go back first, they can't help much anyway, and the rest will be our turn." ”

"Good. As soon as Guanyue Xiaosheng turned around, he instructed the two disciples, "You guys go back first, and if you think of something, you can immediately send a letter to us and tell us." ”

"Good. As if they had been pardoned, the two disciples quickly turned around and retreated.

Chu Xunyu and the five of them are now walking on the wild mountain road, both sides are full of snow and weeds, Chu Xunyu looked up and said to everyone: "There is only one road here, it shouldn't be difficult to find what Xiangyangtun is, let's fly directly to the vicinity to investigate, don't get separated, the situation is unknown now, don't act rashly." ”

Everyone said that they had no objection, and they were not verbose at the moment, and flew straight forward directly, but half a cup of tea, faintly, they saw a village, looking at the scale, it seemed that it was not small, and the five people quietly landed not far from the gate of the village, hiding in the woods and looking.

"Huh?" Mu Yuan was far away, and he saw an old man sitting at the entrance of the village, smoking a dry cigarette, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun, "This, this, this...... Aren't they nobody? Where did that old man come from?"

When everyone took a closer look, they saw that there was not only an old man who smoked, but also the smoke curling from the whole village building, and on the dirt road between the houses, there were many people coming and going, drying quilts, playing chess, and playing chess.

"Let's go, let's see. Mu Yuan was worried about Shang Qian's safety, and he was in a hurry to move forward.

Chu Xunyu grabbed him, and shook out a large piece of things with the technique of Qiankun in his sleeve: "Don't worry, dress up, go in and inquire carefully." ”

"What are you pretending to be?" Mu Yuan was puzzled.

"Look at what we're wearing?" Chu Xunyu put his hand on himself.

Everyone can't help but be a little embarrassed, it turns out that they are all cultivators, not afraid of the changes of the four seasons, all wearing single clothes and single coats, and now in the middle of winter, it is in the northeast, a bitter cold place, if you dress up like this, it is estimated that a normal person will be suspicious. Looking at the pile of things Chu Xunyu took out, clothes, pants and hats, cotton clothes and jackets, everything, and there are two flat shoulders and a few cloth tricks, which is really funny.

"How did you prepare so many things. Mu Yuan curiously picked up one and asked.

"When I was in Jiangnan, I took it from home and knew that I was going to come to the Northeast, so I specially prepared it and changed it in. ”

According to what he said, after a while, they all dressed up as merchants who broke into the eastern part of the country, Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan picked up two flat poles, let Mei Wan hang a cloth bag, Wangchen and Guanyue Xiaosheng each held a cloth sign, respectively wrote "collect fur" and "collect herbs", and after getting ready, they walked all the way towards the entrance of the village.

"Huh?" Chu Xunyu suddenly saw a big locust tree growing at the entrance of the village, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yuan asked him in a low voice.

"There is a problem, as the saying goes, the breath of all things, originates on the surface, grows in wood, what kind of place grows, what kind of tree grows, there is such a lush locust tree at the entrance of the village, you must know that the locust tree is as its name, the wood is born between ghosts, there must be something strange here. ”

"I knew it. Mu Yuan snorted angrily, "There must be a problem, when I go in, I will ask them directly." ”

"Calm down. ”

"Calm down, what's going to happen? ”

As he was talking, several people had already come to the gate, seeing that the old man who was smoking dry tobacco was at the door, Mu Yuan held his voice and walked closer, seeing that the old man was sitting on the stone pier, he was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted and restrained, so he didn't fight in one place, and yelled vigorously: "Collect - skin - hair - "

This voice made the frightened old man tremble, almost squatted down from the stone pier, got up and rubbed his eyes, and said angrily: "Oh mom, you little doll has a big voice." ”

Mu Yuan crooked his eyes, pointed at his nose with his hand, and deliberately shouted: "Old man, do you have fur?"

"Huh?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry again, "I said, why are you so rude...... little doll?"

"Hey...... Hey......" Chu Xunyu hurriedly pulled Mu Yuan away and played a round with a smiling face, "Uncle, don't pay attention to him, he drank too much." ”

The old man looked at Chu Xunyu, and then looked at the dresses of several people, and looked suddenly enlightened: "Merchants from the Central Plains?"

"yes, come and see if there's anything good. ”

"Welcome, welcome!" The old man's face turned into a happy flower, and he pulled them to the village, and along the way he muttered: "It's winter now, basically there are no Central Plains merchants coming, let us be embarrassed, it's good for you to come, keep you have a harvest, there are a lot of good things, you just have to pay for it, go to my house first." ”

Along the way, I saw a lot of people in the village, and they all stretched out their heads to see Chu Xunyu and them, and they all wanted to come up to them to change things, but the old man seemed to be quite respectable, and they all blocked the car one by one, giving their own priority to their families.

Chu Xunyu was very curious and asked, "Old man, I haven't inquired yet, are you ......?"

"Me?" the old man looked proud, "My surname is Li, and my son is the village chief." ”

Everyone looked helpless, and made trouble for a long time, it turned out to be the village chief and his father, no wonder others went back reluctantly, and the co-authoring made it convenient for him. Mu Yuan muttered in a low voice: "What is this old man Li proud of, isn't it just a village chief." ”

"In this small village, a village chief, even if he covers the sky with one hand, let alone here, it is the same everywhere in the world, he has this problem. Guanyue Xiaosheng shook his head and said.

Wangchen sighed leisurely: "The world is ignorant, and they don't understand the suffering, as the Buddha said, a sand and a world, and like a leopard in the tube, it can be seen, from this small corner, you can see how hypocritical and ugly the whole world is." ”

But after a while, he arrived at Li Laohan's house, and as soon as he entered the door, Old Man Li shouted: "Old woman, the Central Plains merchants are here, hurry up and take things out, don't ink." ”

"Hey...... You know...... "An old lady led a little girl who looked like seven or eight years old and walked out of the back room, and when she saw Chu Xunyu, they were also smiling, and asked the child to sit on the kang, and said: "Come, come, come, everyone sit, everyone sit, I'll go get something." After that, hurry back to the yard to get something

"Auntie, it's okay, slow down, don't worry. Chu Xunyu pretended to be polite, and Wangchen and they entered the house, which was a typical large courtyard, and there were a lot of buds and ears under the eaves.

Old man Li pulled them along, sat on the kang, and said with a smile: "I have a pangolin skin here, but it's worth the old money, and there are some Central Plains merchants in the first half of the year, but I didn't give a good price, so I didn't want to buy it, are you willing to buy it?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter if it's money, as long as it's good, uncle, you can take it out and show it to us." ”

When Old Man Li heard this, he happily let everyone wait, and he went in a hurry. Chu Xunyu saw that he was walking away, looked down at the little girl who was playing with the rag doll on the kang, so he had an idea, took out a piece of kraft candy, handed it over, and coaxed her to say, "Come, little sister, my brother has candy to eat, do you want it?"

"Yes, yes!" the little girl doll quickly put down the doll in her hand and stretched out her little hand to ask for it.

"That brother asks you a question, and if you answer it correctly, I will give it to you. Chu Xunyu's triumphant look attracted contempt from everyone.

"Well, my brother asked, but I don't know what. ”

"It's okay, think about it. Chu Xunyu asked happily, "In the past few days, has there been a Central Plains sister with a guqin on her back to come to your tun?"

"Yes. The girl nodded, "There is a sister from the Central Plains, I don't know what she is carrying, what's wrong?

"yes, where is she?"

"My grandfather won't let me speak. The female doll looked aggrieved.

"It's okay, it's okay. Chu Xunyu discussed with her in a low voice, "You tell your brother, my brother gives you candy to eat, and you don't tell others, your grandfather will know." ”

"But......" Before the female doll finished speaking, she saw the old man Li enter the door with a smile and a leather, interrupting everyone's speech, the five of them glanced at each other, although there were no words, but they all reached an agreement, that is, there is definitely something wrong with this village......
