In the empty Heshan Town, there were suddenly many strange faces overnight.
The elderly people who were still in the town opened the door and saw those people walking through the edges in the town. They temporarily lived in the empty houses where they were in and out, and their faces seemed to be worried that the sky would fall.
These people are all cultivators.
Their accents are mixed in the north and south. Some may even be unable to speak for a long time and can only use their hands to gesture and write to communicate with others. Some people wear clothes from decades ago. Some even mention the current year name, which is actually the year name of the last emperor of the previous dynasty.
The town had almost earth-shaking changes. Overnight, tall stone pillars were erected outside the town, and the whole town seemed to be protected by an invisible transparent glazed cover. Those people lived in a big house in the middle of the town, and it didn't seem like they were staying for a short time, as if they wanted to live for a long time.
First, here is located slightly northeast of the heart of the Central Plains, and it is convenient to transmit information from all directions back and forth. Second, here is not far from the sealed place. Spiritual birds fly fast and can arrive in a day.
Many people who have left Heshan Town have returned one after another. It is not because they found that Heshan Town has become safer, but because outside the mountain has become even more unsafe.
These people were not wandering around aimlessly. They left their hometowns with a lowly person. They had agreed and recommended a person to lead the way, and took hundreds of people from their families to go on the road together. Singles were all alone, and it was difficult to resist when encountering strong men, natural disasters, and wild animals. They were all difficult to resist. When they set off together, the elderly, weak women and children were walking in a car, and the young and strong were walking outside with sticks, hoes and shovels. They were taken care of before and after.
Their original intention was to move to a village about 400 miles away. The distance was not too far. Even if they only walked a few dozen miles a day, these days would be enough for them to get to the place.
But these people actually returned the same way, and many others were injured. As for the food and property they brought when they left, they were no longer sure where they were going.
After careful investigation, the people who stayed behind found out that they had encountered riots before they had reached halfway. They didn't know who they fought with. The soldiers were defeated and fled. When they saw the food and property they brought, they rushed up like hungry wolves without saying a word. In the end, they had to resist and escape. The people were finally saved, but all the property was gone.
After inquiring about the news, I realized that the world outside the mountain was far from what they had known before. It has not been peaceful in the past few months, and the princes compete for the throne and the generals have caused trouble. The place they wanted to go had already passed the army, and I heard that it was ruined.
There is no way, they can only come back.
If I come back, at least I have a tiles covering my head for the time being. When I walk forward, I have no food or a place to go. I can only die.
The people who came back did not expect that their hometowns would change a lot.
And they couldn't even get in. They looked at the town right in front of them, but no matter how quickly they walked, the distance did not decrease at all. Instead, they looked at the town as if they had grown feet and were getting farther and farther away from them.
The children in the team were so hungry that they cried, and the women didn't have the strength to leave again.
The person who led the lead thought that this was not something ordinary people like them could understand. He issued an order to let someone settle down and rest first, and then led the person himself and walked towards Wulou Mountain.
After all, some children in the town worshipped as disciples in Wulou Mountain, although they had no great prospects. However, when the people from my hometown asked me to come in front of me, I couldn't stand it and refused to save me.
They were tired and tired. When they walked to the foot of the mountain, they couldn't support themselves, so they could only sit down and take a break.
The person leading the town was the chief security guard in the town. He was already fifty years old and of course he was not as physically strong as a young man.
"Uncle II, why don't you rest at the foot of the mountain, I will lead them up the mountain."
"No." The Chief of the Du Bao shook his hand: "Li Shun'er was still young when she went up the mountain. I've seen him, but you haven't seen him at all..." Then he didn't know where to get along.
"Then, let's help you."
The chief of the housekeeper took a breath: "Okay."
Both of his legs were as heavy and dull as if they were filled with lead, and it was very difficult to walk on the flat ground, let alone a mountain road.
"Where are you going?"
Several people were shocked and turned around quickly to look. There was a very young girl who looked like a fairy and didn't know when she was standing next to the mountain road.
They didn't see anyone on the mountain road just now, nor did they hear anyone coming.
The restoration of the capital was still quick, and he bowed deeply: "Hello, fairy, I am Hong Luo, the chief of Heshan Town at the foot of the mountain. I went up the mountain this time to ask for advice from the immortals so that we can return to our hometown."
The other people did not react slowly, and they all knelt down and saluted.
Since Qiuqiu started practicing, she has never dealt with ordinary people, let alone being worshipped like this, and she felt goosebumps all over her body.
Hong Dubao's beard is white, and he can be her grandfather at this age. How could Qiuqiu let him worship him like this?
"Don't be too polite, but I am not a person on this mountain, and I will not respond to what you ask for. You cannot enter the mountain easily now, so I can send you a message. You can be familiar with immortals, real people, I will help you bring your words in."
Hong Luo quickly reported Li Shun'er's name, and Qiuqiu said twice: "Li Shuner isn't it? Is this his secular name? He will have a Taoist name when he goes up the mountain, do you know?"
Fortunately, Hong Luo really knew: "Yes, yes, I heard that he has a Taoist name called Jinting."
Qiuqiu was stunned.
Jin Ting... She seemed to have heard of it.
Yes, she had indeed heard that Jin'er, the little servant next to Changyang Zhenren, seemed to be called this Taoist name, but Changyang Zhenren never called his full name, and he always called Jin'er Jin'er.
"Okay, I'll send you a message."
However, whether the matter in Heshan Town is big or small, or that it is so tidy on the mountain now, Jin'er will definitely not be able to make this decision. His master Changyang Zhenren is almost the same.
Qiuqiu came out of Heshan Town. She went to the small shop where Fujin Zhenren used to stay, but she did not find any useful clues in it. After staying for a long time, she was just a sad feeling.
Of course she knew the situation in the town, and it was normal for the townspeople to move away because they were afraid of the disaster. Didn't you see the birds, insects and rats move away? But she didn't know why these people came back.
She went up the mountain and found a mail disciple to ask him if he knew where Jinting was next to Changyang Zhenren. Someone was looking for him at the foot of the mountain. The disciple usually did something like running errands and passing messages. He answered without thinking: "Changyang Zhenren is in seclusion. As for the junior brother Jinting, who may be in Danku, I will go and see you, and I will ask him to see you."
"I'm sorry, senior brother."
"I dare not." That disciple was not confused.
This girl is the palm peak of Jiufeng. Although she may be older than others, she can live as a dog as a dog when compared with others. She is considered young and promising, and her future is limitless. She... in fact, she is just a little better than ordinary people at the foot of the mountain.
He ran to find Jin Ting.
Jin Ting was stuck in Danku. He never expected that the distinguished guest of the head of the sect would be Qiuqiu, the little girl he had met at that time. He didn't know what the distinguished guest had to do when he was looking for him. On the way he went, he thought, was the person the distinguished guest looking for his master? But the master is now closed and it is not convenient to entertain guests, so he asked him to ask questions.
He straightened his clothes and held the crown on his head, and then he respectfully informed him outside the door.
The person inside said, "Come in."
Jin Ting responded and stepped in in a regular manner, and gave a tribute first, and then he did not dare to look up at the Palm Peak. First, he was a distinguished guest, and his identities were different. Second, he was a woman, and there was a difference between men and women. He could not make people say that the disciples in Wulou Mountain were ungrateful.
"Senior Brother Jin'er?"
Jin Ting was stunned for a moment.
"I am Qiuqiu, do you still remember me? I have been to Changyang Zhenren's Medicine House with Senior Brother Jingyuan and others."
Of course he remembers.
He also sent Qiuqiu a message, but there was no reply. This time something happened in Xiuyuan Mountain. He thought that Qiuqiu might have had something to do with him, and he was still sad for several days.
Jin Ting raised his head and Qiuqiu smiled at him: "Long time no see, are you okay?"
Jin Ting seemed stupid: "Okay...good...why are you?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"I've sent you a letter, but you haven't replied..."
"Something happened. I went to Jiufeng shortly after I returned to the mountain."
There are too many things in between, it's hard to describe.
Jin Ting never expected that the little girl at that time would become a big shot that needs to be looked up to. Her life was really a turnaround and everything was unexpected.
Qiuqiu didn't have time to reminisce with him: "There are people looking for you at the foot of the mountain. He claims to be the chief custodian of Heshan Town, named Hong Luo. They originally planned to move away, but for some reason they came back. You know, many people from other sects came to the town, and they set up formations, but these people who came back were blocked by the formations and could not enter the town. They wanted to find you, probably for this matter."
Jin Ting was indeed very surprised and immediately didn't care about asking Qiuqiu what happened in the past: "Really? I remember Chief Hong... At that time, he went to my house to see me off..." But whether this matter was big or not, it was just a matter of ordinary mortals. It was not small. Now it was strictly guarded everywhere. It was a trivial matter to let these people in the town, but what if something went wrong?
Jin Ting was anxious and couldn't think of a solution.
Qiuqiu advised him: "Don't be anxious first. I think there will always be other people on your mountain who came out of Heshan Town, right? You might as well discuss with them. Everyone is alike. One more person is always a lot of ways. Do you see if you want to ask the head to make the decision, or think of other ways to settle the town's people first."
Jin Ting suddenly realized and replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, then I'll go."
The stance he ran out seemed to be in a hurry to put out the fire, and Qiuqiu couldn't help but smile.
Shi'er stood by the door, looked at the young disciple who ran out, then looked at the smile on Qiuqiu's face, pursed his lips slightly, and asked, "Who is that person?" (To be continued.

My son's eyes were red. Today I went to the community hospital. The doctor said that keratitis would have to be irritated. But my family believed it and decided to go to a specialist hospital tomorrow to have a look. Momo, everyone, I will try my best to take time to make up for the extra money.
