"Wood, what are we doing. Ye Qi followed Duanmu Qiu strangely, walking on the street, looking at the figure in front of him wandering around, feeling confused.

has been with Duanmu Qiu for a long time, and the two have experienced life and death together, and their friendship is deeper, which also makes Ye Qi realize what kind of heartless heart he has under that sunny and handsome mask.

Anyway, he has just escaped from the Snake King, and he has not recovered yet, he has already actively wandered around the City of Chaos.

"What day is today? The eighteenth day of the lunar month? There are still 20 days, if you don't hurry up and pack up your things and hurry, I'm afraid you won't be able to get there at the agreed time." ”

Duanmu Qiu counted the time with his fingers in his own words, not paying attention to the change in Ye Qi's complexion behind him.

When Ye Qi heard Duanmu Qiu's words, he didn't react at first, and he made a rough calculation in his heart, the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and then twenty days, isn't that around the ninth day of the first lunar month?

"Wood, are you also going to Xiao Penglai!?" Ye Qi asked happily with some excitement on his face.

Finally, there are people who are on the same road as him, Duanmuqiu may know something.

Thinking of this, Ye Qi looked at Duanmu Qiu expectantly.

Duanmu Qiu was stared at strangely by such a burning gaze, and suddenly nodded abruptly. "Oh, yes. Ye Zi, you belong to the Sword Immortal Palace, the nine doors and sixteen families, naturally they all act synchronously. ”

"Wood, do you know what you are doing in Xiaopenglai on the ninth day of the first month of the first month?"

"Uh, this ......" Duanmu Qiu was asked here, with a sad face. "The family didn't say it in detail, and it seems to be a major event related to the future trend of the family. I don't know very well. ”

When Ye Qi heard Duanmu Qiu say this, his face suddenly fell. "Alas, my master didn't tell me either. What is there that deserves such a secret? It's strange. ”

"However, I do know that there is a family on the way to Xiao Penglai in the City of Chaos, but it is relatively special, and it is a little difficult for outsiders to enter, so I bought things in the city for this matter. ”

"Then do you want to be in that family, go and ask why you went to Xiao Penglai on the ninth day of the first month?" Ye Qi's originally sluggish eyes lit up, and he regained his spirits.

Duanmu Qiu patted Ye Qi's shoulder weakly. "I know if you don't help? I've broken my legs these days trying to buy strange things. ”

"Okay, then again, wood. What kind of family is that you are talking about, and why is it difficult for outsiders to enter?"

"Ten Thousand Tombs Village Shepherd. ”

————

Wanji Village, located in the south, surrounded by foothills, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the place of residence selected by the ancestors of the herdsmen. To them is to say that they live in peace is no different from the tomb, or in other words, they are already living in the tomb.

Living with the herdsman is an ancient creature, the specific name is not clear, people in the world say that they are ferocious creatures that eat rotting corpses, so in order to save trouble, they are called scavengers.

With sharp teeth, a keen sense of smell and hearing, and a bloodthirsty nature, they are cruel creatures who are kept by herdsmen with special means and become loyal gatekeepers.

As the base camp and base of the herdsman's family, Wanji Village has a huge formation layout with its strange terrain, and if an unwitting outsider forcibly breaks in, it will definitely be swallowed up.

Therefore, in order to open the gate of the Ten Thousand Tombs Village, there are also special techniques and methods, which Duanmu Qiu heard from the elders in the family.

"This is what you said, special techniques and methods?" Ye Qi looked at Duanmu Qiu, who was dressed in white in front of him, wearing a tall and big white hat, and looked funny, and said in a skeptical tone.

Duanmu Qiu rolled his eyes angrily, and the moment he raised his head, the hat on his head that didn't fit at all was even more shaky, and he was so panicked that he hurriedly held it with his hand.

"Why am I lying to you, don't laugh, this white-clothed mourning dress is indeed a formal dress for the heavenly sacrifice, the herdsman of Ten Thousand Tombs Village advocates the cycle of life and death, and thinks that all things in heaven and earth return to the beginning, so they give up their dwellings in the world and live in similar tombs. ”

Ye Qi frowned, shook the wide black robe on his body twice, and complained: "Don't fool people, in my opinion, only those things are enough, where do you have to dress so strangely." ”

The things in Ye Qi's mouth were the three plates placed on the altar in front of the two of them.

On the left is a plate made of red lacquered sandalwood, in which a string of exotic fruits are still fluorescent; on the right is a plate made of green and jade, with a straight stone standing in it, and there is nothing special about it; in the middle, the plate is made of branches, and two dolls are placed, on which are clearly written the names of Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu.

It's just to open the door, as for this kind of mobilization.

Ye Qi saw Duanmu Qiu who was solemn in front of him, and he had some doubts in his heart. The Mujia family in the tomb village has never heard the master mention it, as for making Duanmu Qiu so solemn?

"Oh, you say that, they have a saying. As I said before, the tomb village herdsman pays attention to the cycle of life and death, and all things in heaven and earth come to an end, which is nothing more than the three of heaven, earth and man. The stone on the right is also not small, the Jizo stone, carried with a century-old jadeite, representing the land at the time of the sacrifice. ”

"I know, the two villains in the middle, you and me, are the representatives?" Ye Qi's brain was bright, and he was able to see through it at one point.

I can't imagine that this simple sacrifice has so many sayings in it.

Duanmu Qiu held the crumbling white top hat on his head with his right hand, and bowed his head slightly. "Yezi, you're right. The puppet in the middle, blooming with a sunburst branch, represents the process from birth to death, and then from death to life. ”

While speaking, Duanmu Qiu finally put everything away, bowed respectfully in front of the desk, took the candle flame that Ye Qi held in his hand, lit the villain who was pierced, and then took out the Shengyang branch in the middle, one for each of Ye Qi.

"Take the leaves, this Yang branch is the key to entering the battle, although we can enter the tomb village after we finish the ceremony, but the yin energy and corpse energy inside are too heavy, only the Yang branch can maintain the yang energy around the body. ”

"No one from the Mu family came to pick us up?" Ye Qi asked strangely when he heard Duanmu Qiu say this. According to his understanding, since the sacrifice was completed, it must have been to notify the shepherd family inside that there were guests visiting.

If you know that someone is coming, how can no one come out to greet you?

Duanmu Qiu smiled bitterly, somewhat similar to his miserable white clothes.

"If it were so easy, where would I be so prepared. The sacrifice was just to open the gate of the formation and let the people who controlled the formation inside know who was coming. Nine gates and sixteen families, the things required to enter the tomb village are all different, so there is no situation of getting through the customs in confusion. ”

"The shepherd family lives in the tomb all the year round to cultivate, and it is confirmed that the person who came only turned off the attack of the formation, and the yin qi and corpse qi that came with it could not be removed. Therefore, the sunrise branch has a place to use. ”

"......" Ye Qi looked at Duanmu Qiu and was speechless for a while. At first, I thought it was some special request from the shepherds, some kind of black and white impermanence, but it turned out that you were doing something extraordinary!"

Duanmu Qiu was a little embarrassed by Ye Qi's eyes, so he hurriedly helped his crooked hat and hurriedly entered the formation.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Ye Qi punched the air and had nowhere to vent, so he had to helplessly tie up his wide and swinging sleeves and follow him quickly.

As soon as the two of them entered the tomb village array, the entrance behind them was foggy and disappeared in an instant.

Ye Qi looked up, it was pitch black, there was a white mist floating in the air, and above his head was a bright moon, which was surprisingly weird.

In front of Ye Qi and Duanmu Qiu, countless tombs arched, densely dividing the complete land. On them, in addition to the vines and thorns that crawled all over the place, there were also huge trees that were incomparably majestic, like gray-black chimneys, towering into the clouds, piercing straight into the black cloth of night.

"Wood, see, there are so many graves, and the shepherds live in them, and the gray and white trees like black chimneys, compared to them, the woods outside are really unbearable. ”

It was the first time Ye Qi had seen such a strange place, and said with excitement in his tone.

Duanmu Qiu was also shocked by the spectacular and grand scene in front of him, and was speechless for a while, but he couldn't stop nodding in agreement.

"The Mu family is really a family with a deep heritage, although the environment is a little weird, but the kind of grandeur revealed in it can't be stopped. ”

As they spoke, the two walked forward, and soon came to the top of a tomb.

At such a close distance, Duanmu Qiu's eyes were even brighter, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he muttered in his mouth.

"Wonderful, wonderful, there is a faint aura around this tree, it doesn't even look like an ordinary tree, it's more like an array that supports the big array. ”

Ye Qi saw that Duanmu Qiu was wearing a big white robe, and he looked like a gray-haired old scholar when he pondered carefully, and he was just about to say a few words to laugh at him.

Suddenly, a cold breath came from above the tall trees overhead.

At first, it was still very faint and not obvious, only Ye Qi noticed it. But as time went by, soon, even Duanmu Qiu noticed that something was wrong, but he was concentrating on sensing and studying the breath of the huge tree at this time, and he didn't choose to retreat at the first time.

Wood this guy!

Ye Qi was annoyed in his heart, Duanmu Qiu was gentle on the outside, but he had an almost paranoid study of strange things in his heart, and he would not flinch even if he found danger.

Ignoring Ye Qi's increasingly grim face at the moment, Duanmu Qiu took out a fan at some point and waved it a few times on the gray and black giant tree, and the bark that bound it fell off one after another, was picked up by him, and put it in his hand and touched it carefully.

"No, no, it's not like it's bark, huh...... It seems to be the fur of an animal?" Duanmu Qiu struggled to identify what was in his hand, and was falling into a state of complete forgetfulness.

"Zheng!" a sword roared, and the two-edged green steel sword came out of its sheath.
