Chapter 15: The Empty Village
The bald man's proposal was exactly what Hao Yan wanted, but Hao Yan said with a smile: "That's not bad, how do you call you?"
The bald man hurriedly said, "My name is Wang Yi, and I am a fourth-generation disciple of Elder Zhenwu."
Hao Yan looked at Wang Yi and said with a smile: "My name is Hao Yan, and I am a closed disciple of the Great Elder Tianyi Sanren."
"Meet Senior Brother!" As soon as Wang Yi heard this, he immediately knew that Haoyan's identity was much more noble than his own, he was just an inner disciple, and Haoyan was a core disciple, and he was also a closed disciple of Tianyisan, that identity was far beyond himself, at this moment Wang Yi was extremely glad for his decision.
Haoyan waved his hand: "Senior Brother Wang doesn't have to be polite, we will be business partners in the future."
When Wang Yi heard Haoyan's words, he felt flattered: "Yes, yes, yes! If Senior Brother Haoyan has any orders in the future, I will definitely go all out, and I also ask Senior Brother Haoyan not to treat me as an outsider."
"That's natural, by the way, I still have twenty bone-setting pills and twenty qi tonifying pills here, give them to you first, and then give me the spirit stones after you sell them."
Since it was said that he would cooperate, Haoyan would naturally not be polite, so he directly took out the pill and handed it to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi took the pill with a confident face: "Senior brother, don't worry, these pills are very easy to sell, I will inform my senior brother when they are sold out."
Hao Yan nodded, so he and Wang Yi each engraved the transmission note, and in order to facilitate contact, Hao Yan then left the martial arts arena.
Haoyan returned to his cave mansion, someone helped buy pills, and he was also happy, as long as he regularly provided pills to Wang Yi and collected spirit stones regularly.
Time flies quickly, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, Haoyan has basically no shortage of spirit stones at this time because of the pill for sale, and within three months, he has directly entered the third-layer realm of qi refining, which also makes Tianyisan people very pleased, this kind of cultivation speed has basically not appeared before.
In the Heavenly Law Hall, Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang had already reached the first level of qi refining because of the help of Haoyan's spirit stone, and Wang Xueshuang showed signs of breaking through the second layer of qi refining.
The peak masters and elders have also begun to select their own disciples, knowing that receiving a good disciple is enough to increase the strength of their line and their status in the Guiyi Sect.
Wang Xueshuang was favored by Elder Linglong and directly accepted as a disciple, and it belonged to the nature of a third-generation disciple, only one level lower than Haoyan, while Xiaopang was favored by Yan Kuan, but felt that Xiaopang's cultivation speed was a little slower, so Xiaopang was listed as a fourth-generation disciple.
In the past three months, Haoyan and Wang Xueshuang and Xiaopang also got together with each other, and after learning that both of them were accepted as disciples of the third and fourth generations, Haoyan was also a lot more relieved.
It's just that not long after Xiaopang joined Yan Kuanmen, he often had nightmares, and the content of the nightmares was that something was wrong with Wangjia Village, but what happened Xiaopang didn't know what happened, because every dream was very vague.
This is not now the tenth day of Yan Kuanmen, and it was originally necessary to meditate at night, but Xiaopang could not enter the meditation, although there is no independent cave house, but the four generations of disciples also have their own special living houses.
The little fat who couldn't settle down lay on his bed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he fell asleep in a daze.
"Chubby, Chubby, come to save us, come to save us" Chubby's parents appeared in front of Chubby at this time.
"Father, mother, what's wrong with you?" Chubby's cry seemed to be heard only by himself, and his parents on the other side were still covered in blood and shouting for help to Chubby.
This scene woke up Xiaopang: "Ah! I have a nightmare again, what the hell is going on, is it some kind of omen? No, I want to talk to Haoyan about this" Thinking of this, Xiaopang directly took out the transmission note and transmitted the sound to Haoyan, at this time, because Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang are both official inner disciples, so they are equipped with transmission notes, of course, the transmission notes are also divided into levels, and the transmission notes below the core disciples can only be used within the scope of the Guiyi Sect.
Haoyan was absorbing the aura in the spirit stone at this time, wanting to break through the fourth layer of qi refining in one fell swoop, but at this time, he received a voice transmission message from Xiaopang.
"Chubby, have you been too tired lately?" Haoyan replied to Chubby directly.
However, Haoyan just replied to Xiaopang's message, and received a transmission from Wang Xueshuang, which turned out to be about Wangjia Village, it turned out that Wang Xueshuang was also the same as Xiaopang these days, always having nightmares.
"Could it be that something really happened in Wangjia Village?" Little crow, did you say something really happened?" Haoyan asked with his hands on his chin and a puzzled face.
The little crow of the sickle's instrument spirit can basically communicate with Hao Yan at any time at this time, after all, there are enough spirit stones, and half of the aura absorbed by Hao Yan is absorbed by the little crow, so the state of the little crow can also be said to be slowly recovering, hearing Hao Yan's question, the little crow replied: "It stands to reason that cultivators don't do some demons, especially at night, cultivators generally meditate, and now these two friends of yours are doing such demons at the same time, if my guess is right, it should be something happened in their family."
"This ...... It looks like I'm going to go to Wangjia Village to have a look" Hearing the little crow's words, Haoyan was full of worry.
Early the next morning, Hao Yan went to the cloud pavilion of the Tianyi Sanren, and wanted to ask the Tianyi Sanren for advice, after entering the cloud pavilion, Haoyan hurriedly saluted the Tianyi Sanren: "The disciple meets the master"
"Haoyan, don't be polite, do you have something to find a teacher?"
Hearing Tianyisanren's question, Haoyan didn't hide it, and directly told Tianyisanren about the situation of Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang, and after hearing Haoyan's story, Tianyisanren frowned: "According to what you said, it is very likely that something happened in Wangjia Village."
When Haoyan heard this, he said even more worriedly: "Is something really happening?"
"As a teacher, I can't know now, I think so, you take your two fellow villagers back to Wangjia Village to find out"
Tianyi Sanren quickly made a decision, and Haoyan nodded: "Disciple, let's go down the mountain."
"Wait, I'll ask the Dharma Protector Hall to send someone with you, and later you will take my token to the Dharma Protector Hall to dignitaries."
Haoyan heard the words of Tianyi Sanren, and his eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you, Master"
The disciples of the Dharma Protector Hall are considered to be the elites of the same sect, and the lowest cultivation level is also above the eighth level of Qi refining, with the assistance of the masters of the Dharma Protector Hall, I believe that no matter what happens in Wangjia Village, it can be solved.
Haoyan said goodbye to Tianyi Sanren, went directly to Xiaopang, explained the situation to Yan Kuan, and then took Xiaopang to find Wang Xueshuang again, and also explained the situation to Elder Linglong, and also left with Wang Xueshuang, and finally went to the Dharma Protector Hall, showing the token of Tianyi Sanren, and the Dharma Protector Hall sent a disciple who built a foundation to cultivate to accompany Haoyan to Wangjia Village with Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang.
"Haoyan, something must have really happened!"
"Don't worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance" Hearing Xiaopang's nervous voice, Haoyan comforted the Xiaopang, and at the same time glanced at Wang Xueshuang, Wang Xueshuang at this time was not calm, although she did not speak, but her worry could be seen from her face.
"Senior Brother Liang, I'm really bothering you this time," Hao Yan said to the accompanying disciples of the Dharma Protector Hall.
"It's okay, Senior Brother Haoyan, as long as Wangjia Village is okay this time," Senior Brother Liang, the Dharma Protector Hall, said with an indifferent attitude.
Maybe they were too worried, a few people didn't talk too much along the way, they were all desperately hurrying, Wangjia Village was not far from Guiyimen, less than a hundred miles, and the four of them took half a day to rush to Wangjia Village.
It's just that the rice fields are still the same, the houses are still the same, but the entire Wangjia Village is empty and there is no one to see.
"What's going on, no, I'm going to hurry home and see"
Xiaopang was even more worried at the moment, and Wang Xueshuang was also worried about the same as Xiaopang, and both of them ran towards their homes quickly.
Haoyan also walked towards Uncle Wang's house, which took him in at that time, but there were no traces of a fight in the entire house, and there were no other clues, but the house was empty.
"Where has this person gone, it's only been a few months, nothing can happen!" Haoyan was also extremely worried at this time.
Xiaopang walked to the door of the house and pushed open the door, the house was just like Uncle Wang's house, empty, and Wang Xueshuang's home was the same.
couldn't find anyone, so Hao Yan went directly to Xiao Pang's house, and Senior Brother Liang of the Dharma Protector Hall also followed Hao Yan to Xiao Pang's house.
"Haoyan, no one, my parents are not here, what's going on? I'm worried about me, my dream won't be true......! I ......"
Xiaopang looked at Haoyan with a trembling voice, Haoyan hadn't spoken yet, and Wang Xueshuang also walked into Xiaopang's house: "There is no one in my family, and now the people in the whole village seem to have disappeared inexplicably."
Haoyan felt the worry and panic of Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang, and knew that he had to stay calm, so he opened his mouth to Senior Brother Liang in the Dharma Protector Hall and asked, "Senior Brother Liang, can you see any clues?"
Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang heard Haoyan ask Senior Brother Liang of the Dharma Protector Hall, and both of them also looked at this Senior Brother Liang, as if Senior Brother Liang had become their hope at this moment.
"I feel that there is a faint demonic aura in the whole village, if my guess is correct, there may be monsters at work," Senior Brother Liang said in an uncertain tone.
"Monsters, how is this possible, our ancestors have lived here for many years, and we have never heard of monsters" Xiaopang still had a panicked look, and said, Wang Xueshuang also affirmed Xiaopang's words: "Yes! There can be no monsters"
"Don't panic, Senior Brother Liang didn't say that it must be a monster, but it was just possible" Haoyan looked at Xiaopang and Wang Xueshuang, and hurriedly reassured.
Instead, Haoyan turned to Senior Brother Liang and asked, "Senior Brother Liang, what should we do now?"
Senior Brother Liang's face was calm: "Wait, if there is really a monster, it will definitely come out, but it is unknown when it will come out, it is best if we can lure it out, or we will look for it separately."
"It's still early, we might as well look separately" Haoyan made a direct decision.
Then the four of them began to search in four directions, southeast, north, and west, and of course each took out their own weapons and warning jade talismans.
As soon as he separated for less than a pillar of incense, Haoyan heard Wang Xueshuang's exclamation, and the warning jade talisman in his hand sent out an alarm signal.
"Oh no, something happened to Snow Frost"
Without thinking much about it, Haoyan hurriedly walked in the direction of Wang Xueshuang, and Xiaopang and Senior Brother Liang of the Dharma Protector Hall also went in the direction of Wang Xueshuang.
When the three of them met, they didn't see Wang Xueshuang, "Haoyan, Xueshuang won't have an accident!" Xiaopang said nervously, Haoyan looked at Xiaopang and glanced at Senior Brother Liang again, and shook his head: "I'm not sure, let's look for it"
