Qingshan looked around, he originally just thought that this town was a little weird, but after listening to Cailin's words, he couldn't help but feel that things were far from being as simple as they seemed on the surface, if he was usually not afraid, but now that Xiao Teng Nan was by his side, he would try to do as little as possible.

So he said: "Let's go outside and wait first, with Miss Cailin's cultivation, there shouldn't be any danger." ”

Although Qiqi was a little worried, Qingshan was right, with Cailin's cultivation, nothing should happen, and then again, if even Cailin had an accident, then what was the point of the three of them staying here? To put it mildly, not only could they not help, but they were also likely to cause chaos to Cailin because of this.

Wu Qiongyu has been frowning from just now to now, and she has not expressed any opinions, Qingshan said to go, she turned around and left, as if she had suddenly become a wooden person.

Cailin didn't look like a deserted town at all, especially since she saw that the windows of some homes were not closed, and through these windows, she could see that many of the houses were clean.

But what about everybody? Why not a single one? Could it be that the whole town moved away not long ago? But why did all these people move away in a good place? There are mountains all over the neighborhood, and is there a better place to live after crossing the mountains?

The town is not big, and she will soon walk the entire main road at Cailin's speed, but there is still no one in sight, and just as she wants to turn away, she vaguely hears a noisy sound coming from behind the town, but the distance is too far to hear clearly.

She just let go of her divine thoughts to investigate, but suddenly found that the entire town seemed to be shrouded in an evil demonic aura, which was very, very faint, so faint that she couldn't feel it at all if she didn't release her divine thoughts.

The strange thing is that these faint demonic qi have played a great role in hindering the exploration range of the divine thoughts, but what is even more strange is that when she reached the back of the town, the demonic qi became stronger and stronger, but at the same time, there was no hindrance to the divine thoughts.

Behind the town is an endless field, a river shuttles through the field, the river bank is full of people, dense, Cailin is curious to find a woman to inquire about the situation, only to learn that today is the big day to worship the river god in the town, so the whole town, regardless of men, women and children, all gathered here.

And the way of sacrificing to the river god surprised Cailin, because they did not use livestock, but people, and how cruel it was to sacrifice the river god with living people. But these people all looked solemn, without the slightest trace of unbearability or guilt.

After finding out the situation, Cailin wanted to explore the river with his thoughts, but his expression suddenly changed, and he hurried back after a slight pause.

In front of the town was a relatively flat wilderness, with a few trees scattered loosely around, and as far as the eye could see, except for a low hill in the distance.

When they looked at the previous town again, in addition to the three cursive "Heyang Town" written in cursive on the archway outside the town, they could vaguely see some simple overviews of the village.

Logically speaking, dusk should be the time for the people to make fires and cook, but where is the smoke in the eyes now?

It was only at this time that Wu Qiongyu spoke for the first time, "Could it be that this is a town that has been abandoned for a long time?"

Qingshan thought for a moment and then shook his head and said, "No, if it has been abandoned for a long time, the town will not be so clean, you think about it carefully, except for some scattered leaves, have you found any other signs of desertion on the streets of this town?"

Qiqi thought about it for a while and nodded: "Yes, if it has really been abandoned for a long time, there should be cobwebs everywhere, but the houses we saw before did not have this kind of situation." ”

Wu Qiongyu also thought about it, and also felt that her previous inference was not in line with reality, "According to this view, will the people in the town leave because of something?"

Aoyama nodded, "This is very likely." ”

Qiqi asked tentatively, "Could it be that they are hiding because they have to hide from the bandits?"

To this day, she still vividly remembers the situation she encountered in Xiangwei Village, when the people of Xiangwei Village heard that a bandit was coming, and all the people in the village immediately hid in their homes, and a single figure disappeared from the street in an instant.

The current situation in this town does look very similar to the situation in Xiangwei Village, and it is no wonder that she thinks in this regard.

However, after looking around, Qingshan denied her opinion, "If there are bandits coming, first of all, it is absolutely impossible for the town to be so clean, and secondly, if you look around, can there be signs of herds of horses passing by?"

The bandit is good at attacking on horseback, and Qiqi also knows this, so she looked around and ruled out this possibility, but in this way, she can no longer think of what the reason is.

Qingshan suddenly said: "We don't have to guess anymore, when Cailin comes back, there should be a discovery." ”

The two of them felt that it was better to simply take a break than to speculate and add to the troubles here.

Qingshan saw that the two of them didn't guess, so he didn't say much, but asked Xiao Teng Nan in his arms with concern, "Are you hungry?" If you're hungry, I'll give you something to eat first. ”

There is nothing else, but Aoyama has prepared a lot of snacks for him, just in case.

Xiao Teng Nan shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

"Well, then tell me when you're hungry. ”

"Oh. Xiao Teng Nan answered and asked, "Uncle, when can we go inside?" For him, the most important thing to enter the town map is not to eat, but to feel novel and lively.

"When Sister Cailin comes back, we can go in. ”

"And when will she be back?"

"She'll be back soon, if you're bored, Uncle will show you around first, okay?"

Xiao Teng Nan is indeed more active, but there is nothing around, what is there to see? So he quickly replied: "I'm not bored. ”

It didn't take long for Cailin to hurry back, and as soon as he landed Qiqi, he immediately asked, "Sister, have you found anything wrong?"

Cailin froze, glanced at the three of them before lowering his voice and saying, "It's indeed a bit weird." ”

Aoyama hurriedly asked, "What's weird?"

"It's not that there's no one in the town, it's that everyone goes to the back of the town. ”

Qiqi hurriedly asked again: "What are they doing behind the town?"

"There is a river there, and I heard from them that the river god came out of the river, and some time ago the river god was angry, and the flood washed away many of their fields, and all the people in the whole town ran to worship the river god. ”

Qiqi suddenly said: "I see, these mortals are really, where are there any river gods in this world?"

Qingshan asked, "What about the other things, do you have any other discoveries?" He believed that a monk of the realm like Cailin felt very accurate, and since she had said before that she felt a bad premonition, it shouldn't be bad.

Cailin frowned slightly, "It's true that it's weird." ”

"How?"

"First, I heard them say that the reason why the river gods were angry this time was because there was an ominous person in their town, so they took him and trapped him in a cage, and when the hour came, they threw him into the river and sacrificed to him. ”

The three of them were all indignant when they heard this, and Aoyama asked in a deep voice, "And then?"

"Second, I have probed with my mind before, and there is nothing strange in the river, and the river is very small, and there is no sign of strong wind or heavy rain in the vicinity, so I don't think it is possible for the river to be flooded. ”

"What's next?" Aoyama thought it wasn't over yet, because Chaelin hadn't said anything that made her feel uneasy so far.

"Thirdly, I have heard some people talk that this man who is going to be used to worship the river god is the fifth person in this month, and what is even stranger is that all five of them are big men and women in the town. ”

Wu Qiongyu quickly came to a conclusion when she heard this, "In other words, this is very likely to be a conspiracy." ”

Cailin nodded slightly, but found that Qingshan was still looking at him, and at the same time, he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't wait for him to ask again, and then said: "There is a fourth point, which is the most important point, which is not good news for us. ”

"What do you say?" Aoyama couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, thinking: Here, is her previous uneasy feeling finally about to appear?

"At the back of the town, in addition to a river, there is a mountain range, and the mountains are full of demonic spirits, and even more unfortunately, when I sensed him, he sensed me too. ”

"Did he say anything?"

"Yes, let's not meddle in everything here, and don't pass through here. ”

Wu Qiongyu frowned and asked, "Don't pass by here?"

Qingshan thought a little more, so the questions he asked should be a little more in-depth, in his opinion, whether it was a human or a demon beast in the mountain range, since he refused to show up, why did he have to talk to Cailin?" "Miss Cailin, does he have anything else to say?"

This time, Cailin's face also became ugly, she glanced at Xiao Teng Nan, who was staring at her curiously, took a deep breath before saying with a wry smile: "He asked us to keep this child, and then we can leave, otherwise, none of us will want to leave." ”

Qingshan's eyes grew cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "So he already discovered us when we just approached here?"

"That's how it should be. ”

"What else did he say?"

Cailin smiled wryly again, "He also said don't think that we can leave here if we have a flying magic weapon, in fact, if we hadn't come down from the magic weapon, all of us would have to bury this child now." ”

Qiqi and Wu Qiongyu both changed their expressions when they heard this, and they all looked at Xiao Teng Nan.

"Uncle, I'm so scared. Xiao Teng Nan was so frightened that he trembled all over, and hugged Qingshan's neck tightly.

Qingshan's eyes grew cold, and he comforted Xiao Teng Nan softly before saying, "Can you sense his strength?"

Cailin smiled bitterly: "Better than me." ”

"That means we can't leave here at all, right?"

"That's right, unless you do what he says. ”

"This can't be!" Qingshan shouted angrily, scaring the little Teng Nan in his arms, "Uncle, I'm so scared." ”
