The next day, when the sun shone into the inn room, the village and town regained their usual vitality, and the people on the street rushed to spread the words "wake up, wake up", Situ Yan pushed open the window, and saw the birds used to transmit messages in Xianze Palace fluttering their wings outside. After a general glance at the contents of the letter, he went to the door next door to knock on the door of "Linghuayin" and Oro.

"A letter from Xianze Palace said that they had found a disciple who had been missing for a long time, his name was Bai Yi, and after he went down the mountain to visit his relatives, he never returned to Xianze Palace. ”

"Then he should be the Taoist priest Gu Nian said. Elo said.

Situ Yan shook his head, "I can't say for sure yet, but it's very likely, if he makes some kind of deal with the Nightmare Demon, then he is guiding all of this." ”

"Okay, so where are we going next? continue to look for that locust tree demon, or do we go to Bai Yi?"

Situ Yan replied: "Judging from what the demons have seen, Bai Yi is an important clue to the Demon Incident, and it is far easier for us to find him than to find the Locust Tree Demon. I have a hunch that if I find Bai Yi, it will not be difficult to find the locust tree demon. ”

"So where is this Bai Yi's hometown?"

Situ Yan glanced at what the letter said again, and replied: "A village called Lingyin is in the northern suburbs of Dongling Mountain. After speaking, Situ Yan subconsciously glanced at "Ling Huayin".

As soon as "Ling Huayin" heard the three words of Dongling Mountain, she immediately glared at her, as if she had a deep hatred for that place.

Elowang pointed to "Ling Huayin" and asked strangely, "What's wrong with her?"

Situ Yan propped his chin in thought, "Hmm...... Maybe it's that place that brings back bad memories. ”

Elo was a little surprised, "Could it be that there will be people who feel distracted?"

Situ Yan smiled bitterly: "Distraction is also Linghua's mind body, and it will also have its own joys, sorrows, and sorrows. ”

Elo couldn't help but be a little worried, "Then should we wait for Ling Huayin to come before making a decision?" If she doesn't want to go, we take her there without permission......

Situ Yan looked at "Ling Huayin" in the room, thought for a moment and said, "Before she comes, let's get there first." By then, the wood has been completed, and Linghua can't help it. ”

"Is this really good? You may not have seen Ling Huayin angry. "E Luo heard a lot of things about Ling Huayin's bad temper from the Elder Tianji of Xianze Palace, so he kindly reminded him.

Situ Yan smiled and asked very curiously, "Could it be that Miss Oro has seen it?"

Elo sneered, "I haven't seen this either." ”

As soon as the two finished speaking, they looked at the sullen "Ling Huayin" on the side, and then nodded very tacitly, and decided to set off for Lingyin Village in the northern suburbs of Dongling Mountain immediately.

When passing through Dongling Mountain, "Ling Huayin" stood on the clouds, looking at the highest Sanxiantai with a gloomy and heavy expression. Situ Yan didn't know if she was Ling Huayin herself now, so he walked to her side, followed her gaze and looked down, only to see that the top of Dongling Mountain was covered with thick fog and filth, which didn't look like a place of pure and vigorous immortals, so he bent his hand and pillowed his chin for a little contemplation.

Who knew that after this pause, Ling Huayin spoke: "What are we doing here?"

Situ Yan put his hand down and said with a smile: "There is a person named Bai Yi in your Xianze Palace who may be related to the Demon Incident, and he lives in Lingyin Village in front of him, let's investigate him." Do you know this person?"

"Bai Yi?" Ling Huayin searched in her mind and replied coldly, "I don't know." There are so many disciples in Xianze Palace, and I only remember a few. I don't care about people who don't matter. ”

Situ Yan obviously felt the change in Ling Huayin's mood, hurriedly sped up his pace, drove the auspicious clouds to the northern suburbs of Dongling Mountain, and saw that the black fog was filled with a radius of 100 miles, and he couldn't see the situation of the village at all, so he found a good place to settle and slowly fell to the ground.

As soon as they settled, they felt that the surrounding area was overcast, the grass was overgrown, the trees were dead, and there was a white bone that had been eaten by the black river.

Situ Yan hurriedly approached, squatted down to take a look, and said to them, "It's not humans, it's like an animal like a wolf." ”

Ling Huayin looked at the place where the black fog was thicker, and said to Situ Yan: "Let's walk along the river, there should be a village over there." ”

Walking to the entrance of the village, there is a stone standing on the left side of the road, which is covered with moss, and the word "Lingyin" is faintly visible. The further I went, the more I felt that this place was evil, that there was no one in the village, not even animals.

"Is this really a village? How does it look like a ghost village? "Oro suddenly appeared.

Ling Huayin chimed in, "No popularity...... I didn't know that there was a village here, 'Lingyin', and as the name suggests, the fog outside looked like an enchantment. ”

Situ Yan agreed: "Well, I'm the same as you think, maybe there was indeed an enchantment here not long ago, but this black fog arrived, and the enchantment disappeared. ”

As they walked, a fork in the road appeared, and the three of them stopped. Oro said, "Let's go separately and see if there is anyone here." I go left. ”

"It's okay, Linghua, it's easy to take care of, you can join me. Situ Yan said.

"Good. With that, the three of them split into two actions.

Every time he went to a room, Situ Yan knocked on the door, but he didn't hear anyone respond. After knocking on several houses in a row, they confirmed that the village was really uninhabited. After searching everywhere to no avail, Situ Yan suddenly said to Ling Huayin: "Ling Hua." ”

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"Have you ever heard a ghost story?" Situ Yan said coldly.

“...... No. ”

Situ Yan suddenly approached her mysteriously and said softly: "I heard that some ghosts wandering in the world will spontaneously gather and build villages in suitable places, they will not appear during the day, and every night, when the sun sets, they will come out one after another, just like human beings. Once someone breaks into the ghost village by mistake, they will take on the appearance of a human to trick that person into staying overnight, and then let that person eat the food of the ghost world, so that the person will never be able to leave the village. However, many people were scared to death by those ghosts before they left the village, and after being scared to death, they became ghosts, and they could not go to the underworld to reincarnate and die, so they could only be trapped in the ghost village, and in the long run, the village would become more and more prosperous......

Ling Huayin looked at everything around her, and listened to Situ Yan's gloomy tone, only to feel creepy, although she was not a cowardly, but she was also cold behind her, and hurriedly frowned and interrupted Situ Yan, "It's all about scaring people, you talk nonsense that I'm going back." ”

Situ Yan smiled and said, "It turns out that Linghua also has times when she is afraid?"

"Oh, joke, ghosts are so scared. After saying that, Ling Huayin walked forward quickly, for fear of being underestimated by Situ Yan.

Before he had gone far, a terrible scream suddenly came from in the distance, Ling Huayin paused, glanced at Situ Yan with understanding, and hurriedly ran forward.

"Did you hear it just now, what is the sound?" asked Ling Huayin as she ran.

"Women, and beasts. Situ Yan looked calm, and then said to Ling Huayin: "There is a lot of turbidity here, you have to be careful." ”

The two of them followed the direction of Fang Cai's voice to a cave, only to see the fire light in the cave, as soon as Ling Huayin and Situ Yan approached, they noticed the enchantment at the entrance of the cave, Ling Huayin and Situ Yan looked at each other, and then passed through the enchantment together.

"Stop, who are you?" a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe walked out of the cave and watched the two men who suddenly broke in with vigilance.

As soon as he spoke, several strong men with five big and three thick men came out of the cave, all holding a trident in their hands, staring at Ling Huayin and Situ Yan menacingly.

Seeing this, Situ Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "We just passed by here, and when we heard the screams, we came over to see if something was wrong, not some bad person, don't misunderstand, if you can move, don't do it first, otherwise it will be bad if we accidentally hurt you later." ”

Ling Huayin turned her head to look at him, and she was really a little crying and laughing at his blockbuster words.

The man in the Taoist robe at the head pondered Situ Yan's words, hesitated for a while, and then looked at Ling Huayin in Taoist clothes beside him, before raising his hand to signal those people not to act rashly, and said to Situ Yan and them apologetically: "I'm sorry, I thought you were the people sent by the mountain god to arrest us, it's not safe outside, you guys come in first to talk." ”

After that, Situ Yan and Ling Huayin entered the cave. When they entered, they found that the cave was full of villagers, young and old, who were casting curious and frightened glances at them, as if they were monsters.

They finally understood why there was no one in the village, and they were all hiding in this cave.

"Are you really passing through here?" the man in the Taoist robe stepped forward to confirm again, a look of doubt on his face.

Situ Yan replied, "Well, sort of." Actually, we're here to find someone. ”

As soon as the villagers heard that they were looking for someone, they all stepped back with a look of horror on their faces. Even the strong men in Fang Cai clenched their tridents again, looking tense.

The two felt that the reaction of these villagers was really strange, and Ling Huayin hurriedly said: "Don't panic, everyone, I am the sword elder of Xianze Palace, we are here to find a person named Bai Yi, is he not there?"

"You said you came to find Bai Yi?" An old voice came from the crowd, and then an old man slowly stepped forward, glanced at Ling Huayin, and asked again: "This girl is the head of the Xianze Palace of the Middle Emperor Mountain, what are you looking for Bai Yi for?"

"I'm just asking him to talk, but I don't know if it's wrong. Is Bai Yi here?" Ling Huayin looked around.

"He came back the other day and hasn't seen him since. The old man replied.

"Two Dao Masters, it's great that you're here, hurry up and catch that monster Bai Yi, this village is all killed by him!" a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy suddenly ran to the front of the crowd and shouted at Ling Huayin.

Before Ling Huayin and Situ Yan could figure out the situation, the young man was pressed to the ground by two big men and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, boy!"

Ling Huayin immediately raised her hand to stop, "Wait, what's going on here? Why are you so scared?

"This is a matter in our village, and it is better for you outsiders not to get involved, lest you anger the mountain god and invite retribution. The old man prevaricated, not wanting to tell them the truth.

"Mountain gods, if there really be a mountain god in this place, they won't come out to protect you, but let you hide in this cave?" Ling Huayin couldn't help but sarcastically.

Situ Yan said warmly to the villagers in the cave: "If you don't tell us what happened here, we can't help you if we want to, don't you say?"

The villagers hesitated, looked at the old man, and when they saw that the old man was silent, no one dared to speak. Only the man in the Taoist uniform stepped forward and said to the old man: "Village chief, let's tell them the truth, how can I say that they are also from the immortal family, maybe they can help us solve the current predicament." ”

The old man glared at him and scolded: "What immortal family, isn't Bai Yi also from Xianze Palace, what do you see he did to us?!And the people of Dongling Mountain, who can save us!?"

Dongling Mountain was involved all of a sudden, and the more Ling Huayin listened, the more she felt that the matter was not small, so she wanted to find out the secret behind the mystery of this village no matter what.

Just as I was thinking about how to make them tell the truth, suddenly a demon wind blew, and then Eluo's frivolous laughter sounded in the cave, only to see her suddenly appear behind the old man, and said in an impatient tone: "Why are you old man so ignorant, we are helping you! With that, she flicked her sleeve slightly, and the old man fell to the ground.

The people in the cave screamed in horror, and Oro shouted at them, "What's the noise? I just put him to sleep, a bunch of people making a fuss." ”

"Oro. Ling Huayin suddenly had a headache, and couldn't help but scold lightly, but this also solved the problem temporarily, so she said to the man in the robe: "Don't worry, your village chief is fine, Miss Oro is with us." Now you can say, what happened in your village?"

The man in the robe hurriedly checked the old man's condition, confirmed that he was only asleep, and then got up and said to them, "Okay, I'll tell you." ”
