Zhen Zheng cleaned up his mood and continued to move forward, and after walking for a short time, he came out of the misty forest, and he found that everyone was waiting for him outside.

"I said Lao Zheng, why did you run away alone, you can't catch up, and you don't listen to us when we call you. The fat man patted Zhen Zheng's shoulder and said.

Zhen Zheng was puzzled in his heart, listening to the fat man's meaning, everyone was not lost, and there was no thick fog, what was going on? Everyone saw Zhen Zheng's face change, and they were silent for a long time, "What did you see in the forest?" An Guqi asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that I got lost and ran for a long time to find a way out. Zhen Zheng didn't say anything about seeing the woman. Seeing that Zhen Zheng didn't want to say more, everyone didn't ask anymore, so they continued to hurry.

That night, there were only Zhen Zheng and An Guqi in the tent, and An Guqi suddenly asked, "What did you meet?" Zhen Zheng trusted An Guqi very much, and he didn't hide it, and told everything and everything.

"I didn't expect there to be such an infatuated woman in the world, it's really pitiful. To be precise, she is not a ghost, but a kind of obsession, and the obsession body is that after a person dies, due to the obsession of the previous life that persists for a long time, the soul cannot be reincarnated and continues to stay in the world. This kind of presence tends to change the surrounding environment and plunge specific people into their own unique realm, and you have just entered her realm. Anguchi explained.

Late at night, Zhen Zheng felt the ring on the finger of his right hand move, suddenly opened his eyes, and found a black shadow stealing his black wood ring, "Who is it?" Zhen Zheng shouted, startled the black shadow to run out of the tent, burrow into the forest, and disappear. The crowd was also awakened and walked out of the tents.

"What are you yelling in the middle of the night?" the fat man rubbed his sleepy eyes, and finally walked out.

"Did something happen?" asked Mu Lian.

"I found a thief who came into my tent to steal something, and I have scared him away, he should not dare to come back, everyone go back and continue to sleep. Zhen Zheng said in a deep voice, his heart was extremely heavy, he suspected that the black shadow just now was not an outsider, but someone from the southbound group, and he already knew the magic of the black wood ring. In the southbound group, only An Guqi knows his secret, An Guqi is beside him, the black shadow can't be him, how do others know. Zhen Zheng decided to be more careful in the future.

The next time, the people of the southbound group came to a tribe called Fox, and the tribe was very small, less than 100 people. Because of its proximity to the Central Plains and the influence of the Central Plains culture, you can also see towns and villages, and the productivity is relatively developed. To the south of the bowl, villages are very rare, and most of the people live in tribal units, with backward productivity, and even do not know how to farm, relying on fishing and hunting for a living. When the people saw that there were tribes, they should not be far from the bowl.

The Yakuza tribe lived in thatched huts, both men and women wore animal skins, wore straw sandals, drilled wood for fire, and slash-and-burn farming, and were not a very primitive tribe. The tribe was very curious about the southbound group, and looked everyone up and down as if they were visiting animals.

The patriarch of the Fox was an old man with a gray beard, who walked slowly with a wooden cane, and invited everyone to sit in the room. Everyone said that they were running around, and the journey was hard, and it was time to rest.

There is only one stone table and a few stone benches in the patriarch's house, and nothing else, which is very simple.

The old patriarch was surprised to learn that several people were southbound people from the Central Plains, and asked many questions, from what the Central Plains people wore to the physique of the officials of the Divine Dynasty, no matter how big or small, the old patriarch was like a child full of curiosity about the land of the Central Plains. Everyone was asked with a wry smile, the patriarch's question was very naïve, but everyone was not easy to shirk, so they could only answer patiently, and the time for answering this question passed quickly, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

The old patriarch kept everyone in the tribe for the night, but Mu Lian did not refuse, although the clan was simple, but it was much better than sleeping in a tent. The old patriarch added: "It's great that a few distinguished guests can stay in our clan, and it's a blessing that the old man can continue to talk with Brother Mu Lian at night." Mu Lian smiled bitterly: "We also want to thank the patriarch for staying with us, if the patriarch has any questions, just ask." "I regret that I shouldn't have agreed to stay overnight, it seems that tonight will be long.

The patriarch held a welcoming ceremony for the people, and the men, women and children of the tribe sang and danced around the bonfire, on which the game was roasted. The old patriarch knew that the Central Plains people entertained distinguished guests with fine wine, but there was no one in the tribe, so he had to replace water with wine and respect each other one by one according to the habits of the Central Plains people. Everyone felt the simple enthusiasm of the tribesmen and was deeply infected.

The people of the southbound group and the tribesmen sang and danced around the bonfire, and Zhen Zheng and An Guqi sat below and chatted. The clouds dispersed, the moonlight shone brightly, Zhen Zheng suddenly found that the eyes of the tribesmen had changed slightly, could it be that he was drunk with water and was dazzled?

"Why don't you two sit here alone and not dance with everyone?" said the old patriarch. Zhen Zheng just wanted to answer, but his body shook suddenly, and he found that in the eyes of the old patriarch, the pupils were erected. Zhen Zheng had been in contact with the black bear demon and the dragon before, and knew that the pupil was upside down for the demon, but he didn't expect the old patriarch to be a demon, Zhen Zheng looked around, and his heart was furious, it turned out that everyone in the tribe was erected pupils, and this tribe was actually a demon village.

Zhen Zheng was about to call out to everyone in the southbound group, but was patted on the shoulder by An Guqi, who shook his head at him and told him to keep quiet. Zhen Zheng prevaricated the patriarch and said in a low voice to An Guqi: "They are all demons. An Guqi nodded: "I know, the moonlight shines, revealing the horse's feet." But I don't feel like they're malicious, and if we poke the paper, I don't know what will happen. And as if you didn't see anything, you and I are careful. ”

Zhen Zheng and An Guqi didn't sleep all night, always observing the movements around them, but nothing happened.

The next time, the Mu family's southbound group said goodbye to the Fox Department, Zhen Zheng and An Guqi's eyes were slightly red, and Mu Lian also didn't sleep well, the old patriarch held Mu Lian's hand tightly, and seemed to be very reluctant, Mu Lian couldn't pull it out, Mu Lian smiled bitterly: "Old patriarch, we have an ancient saying in the middle of the world that there is no banquet that will not be dispersed, and we will definitely come to visit you when we return from the south." The old patriarch wanted to keep Mu Lian, and said: "If Brother Mu Lian can stay, I am willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, and my clan will be able to prosper." ”

The old patriarch's words frightened Mu Lian to pull out his hand, ignoring the people of the southbound group, and ran away first. "It seems that Brother Mu Lian is reluctant to stay. The old patriarch sighed. Zhen Zheng thought to himself, he didn't know what the old patriarch had talked about with Mu Lian, but it left a shadow in Mu Lian's heart. Everyone hurriedly followed, and soon walked out of the Foxy Department.

"What a group of hospitable demons!" Zhen Zheng whispered to An Guqi.

"Maybe they don't know they're demons. An Guqi pondered, "It is said that there is a demon clan in southern Xinjiang, born humanoid, they learn human culture and living habits, almost no different from humans, and over time, they even forget that they are demons." The Fox tribe should belong to that demon clan. Anguqi sighed.

Zhen Zheng was quite surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a demon race in the world, "If the demons of other races can also learn from humans, it would be good for the demons to coexist in harmony." It's a pity that human beings always value appearance, and their hearts are different if they are not of our race, and they can't tolerate the existence of beast-like demons at all. ”

An Guqi glanced at Zhen Zheng and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Zheng would have such a mind, and I admire him." ”

After a long journey, everyone finally came to the bowl. Wanzhong is the largest town in Shu, and it is also the center of cultural integration between the north and the south. The people of the Mujia southbound group also saw other southbound groups in the bowl, but the number was much smaller than that seen in the north of the bowl, and the scale was generally a large team.

"Brother Mu Lian hasn't seen him for a long time, I didn't expect Brother Mu Lian to also go south, the head of the Mu family is really willing, and he is not afraid of losing his right hand. An elderly man in Tsing Yi walked over and said.

"It turned out to be Brother Shui Yuan, and Mu Lian was deeply honored to be able to contribute to the family's plan to travel south. Brother Shui Yuan was able to walk into the bowl, but he inherited the shit luck of the Shui family. Mu Lian said unceremoniously, it seems that the Shui family and the Mu family seem to have a holiday, and they don't look like friends.

There are a large number of people in the Shui family's southbound group, hearing Mu Lian's disrespectful words, his face is ugly, a man in black next to Shui Yuan wanted to teach a lesson, but was stopped by Shui Yuan, "It seems that Brother Mu Lian has been quite unsmooth all the way, there are less than ten people left, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the support of the head of the Mu family, the south of the bowl is very dangerous, Brother Mu Lian might as well go home, so as not to lose his surname in vain and say goodbye." Mizumichi said gloomily.

Zhen is the person of the nameless path south of the land of Wangji, and he doesn't know anything about the two families, An Guqi told him the history of the two families, and Zhen Zheng learned about the grievances of the two families.

The Mu family and the Shui family are both big families in the north of Wangji, and the Mu family is a super family on the second avenue north of the land of Wangji, and the Shui family was extremely weak and attached to the Mu family before. The 11th Emperor toured the north and stayed at the Mu family, but accidentally found that a woman from the Shui family was quite beautiful, so he married into the palace and became a concubine. The women of the Shui family were deeply favored by the emperor, and the Shui family also rose to the top, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven and became a family on an equal footing with the Mu family. Later, the 12th Emperor married a woman from the Shui family, and the status of the relatives of the Shui family was further consolidated, and it has surpassed the Mu family and become a super family on the first avenue north of the land of Wangji.

I see, no wonder Mu Lian said that the Shui family had shit luck, Zhen Zheng thought. Although the Shui family has a high status, its strength is still insufficient compared to the Mu family, so Shui Yuan does not dare to blatantly act against Mu Lian.
