Smoke rises from cooking in Guyue Village. The villagers are busy going in and out of their homes, preparing for today's dinner. Children are chasing and playing at the door. It is late spring now, the breeze is gentle, and the setting sun is shining warmly on them, but the six of them are
I feel cold all over.
Even the puppets spinning around at their feet rushed into Tang Yue's arms and buried their heads in her arms.
Tiansheng Hanba had long since disappeared when the village was recovering rapidly. Tang Yue didn't even know how he broke free from the Immortal Binding Rope.
Tu Yangxing wondered, "Why don't you talk? Is there some strange monster lurking here?"
He turned around and saw Tang Yue and the others, "It's good for you three to tell your fortune when you meet us. We, the foundation-building monks, will protect you when you get out."
"I just hope that Tang Yue can admit to everyone that he cheated in the gambling game after he goes out. The monks should abide by the contract, otherwise they will owe karma. It is very inappropriate for a small gambling game." Tu Yangxing shook his head at Tang Yue.
Tang Yue laughed angrily, even if he doesn't know who you are now, he still wants to fight back, "Since Senior Brother Tu is from a poor family and wants to get this high-grade spiritual stone back, you might as well say it clearly and I will return it to you. There is no need to be so tactful.
I don't understand."
"Who do you think is from a poor family?" Tu Yangxing couldn't help but wanted to rush in front of Tang Yue.
Murong Hai stopped her with his hand, "Yangxing, don't argue with Tang Xiaoyou. How old is she? Although she is a big brat, she is still a child. Speaking of which, Yangxing, do you remember what happened before you came here?"
"I just remember that black clouds suddenly covered the water house. I couldn't move in the thunder and lightning wind. I couldn't hold up and was blown away. I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I saw you. I must have entered some secret realm. That black cloud
It's the entrance."
Everyone's expressions were different, that's how they came here, but Tu Yangxing's situation was obviously different...
Senior Brother Qian laughed and put his arm around Tu Yangxing's shoulders. "We came here this way too. Now let's take a look at the situation around us. This seems to be a village."
Senior Brother Qian took advantage of Tu Yangxing's lack of attention and signaled everyone to calm down and not let him notice.
Tu Yangxing finally saw an unknown female cultivator in their team, "Is this girl also attending the Shui family banquet?"
He looked at the other person. Although this girl was not as gentle and beautiful as Shui Rudong, she had a different kind of charm.
"Of course Tu Daoyou doesn't know me. My name is Chi He. I come from a small family that is attached to the Shui family. My father works as a steward in the Shui family. Let me introduce you to this birthday party." Chi He smiled at Tu Yangxing, as bright as spring.
Tu Yangxing was also stunned for a moment.
However, he quickly recovered, "It turns out to be Miss Chi. If you have a chance in the future, you can come to Tu's house as a guest."
Everyone felt very awkward. Let alone Chi He going to Tu's house in the future, they didn't know what happened to him now and whether he could go out.
Chi He still smiled and replied: "Okay, I will visit my house when I have the chance. Fellow Taoist Tu, don't dislike me."
"Definitely not."
Ruan Ying couldn't bear it, and now she felt her scalp numb even if she stayed with Tu Yangxing for a moment longer. "Why don't we investigate the village separately, in groups of three, and you can do whatever you want. This way we can figure out what is going on.
"
Senior Brother Qian thought about it and said, "How about this, Yang Xing and I will be in a group, Junior Brother Murong and Miss Chi He will be in a group, and Junior Sister Ruan Ying and you will be in a group of three, how about this?"
They agreed, and Tu Yangxing also said: "It's divided into three groups, taking into account both strength and efficiency. I think it's very good."
Judging from his appearance, he still didn't know that Senior Brother Qian was teaming up with him just to check on him.
The group of people separated and searched. After Tang Yue and the others confirmed that Tu Yangxing had gone away, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wonder what happened to Brother Tu Shi and whether he can get out of the secret realm safely. Hey, if he can't get out alive, I'm afraid the Tu family will have trouble with the Shui family." Duan Yitang sighed. Is the Shui family the natal family of Tang Yue's sister, or is it?
I hope the Shui family goes well.
"It's hard to say, Tu Yangxing's situation is too strange. Do you think he has actually died in this secret realm?" Ruan Ying asked curiously.
"Who did you say died? Ruan Ying, we just turned back to look for you when we heard you cursing me behind my back. What kind of hatred do you and I have?" Tu Yangxing's haunting voice came from behind the three of them.
Ruan Ying softly yelled "Ah", "I was scared to death!"
"Why are you scared? You just cursed me to death. You know you have done something bad."
Tang Yue looked at Senior Brother Qian, "Why did you come to our side? What happened?"
Senior Brother Qian looked at them meaningfully, "We walked not far and found that some monks were convening the monks in the village. They hoped to bring all the monks in Guyue Village together to discuss the current situation. We have asked Murong
Miss Hai and Chi He went there first, and now they come to see you."
"Okay, let's go take a look." Tang Yue thought that Senior Brother Qian must have discovered something unusual and asked them to go take a look at this gathering of monks.
When she arrived at the assembly, she found out what kind of monk Brother Qian was. The clothes on these people were the same as those of the mummies who attacked them.
Therefore, these monks are probably those mummies. When Guyue Village returned to its old appearance, they also changed back to their normal appearance.
The leading monk said to them: "I feel relieved knowing that the disciples of the Wuji Mountain Sect Master are here. I am Hu San. I went to the Shui Family to participate in the guest's retreat. I was accidentally involved here. Now I will lead everyone to find a solution."
go out."
"Since the disciples of the sect master are here, I should give up my leadership position. It is more appropriate for Brother Qian to lead everyone to find a way out." Hu San said to Brother Qian, the others and the monks in the hall.
Some of the monks in the hall nodded, others hesitated, and a bearded monk said: "But Brother Hu, you have led us to investigate for so many days."
In fact, Qian Wangduo did not want to lead a group of mummies at all: "This brother is right. I have just entered the secret realm. It is different from the situation you entered the secret realm. I know nothing about this place. I am afraid that there will be problems if I lead everyone rashly."
"So I hope that it will still be Brother Hu who takes the lead and leads everyone to explore this strange secret place." After saying that, he handed over to Hu Sanyi, showing that he respected the fruits of Hu Sanyi's labor these days.
Hu San did not refuse, "In that case, I will assign everyone's tasks."
"We have sent three groups of monks into the dense forest, and the first group of monks have returned. They said that there is nothing in the dense forest except trees, and not a single monster or animal has been seen."
"The deeper they walked into the dense forest, the thinner their spiritual energy became. They didn't carry much with them. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to come back, so they gave up on exploring. The remaining two groups of monks should be in the same situation. This dense forest has no end.
It could be a dead zone."
"So I guess the exit is in this village." Hu San glanced at everyone and felt satisfied after seeing that everyone looked convinced.
Tang Yue spoke up, "Senior Hu, have you ever asked the people in the village what the conditions are like in the dense forest outside the village? Have they ever seen outsiders?"
Hu San was a little dissatisfied when he saw that the young girl asked him directly. However, looking at her extraordinary clothes, he guessed that her family was well off, so he still answered: "Some of us asked the villagers, but they were very strange and couldn't say anything."
"So next, our focus is still on investigating the background of the villagers and this village, hoping that someone can find some clues. There are still three hours before dark, and everyone will come back here to exchange information at dark."
Hu Sanbao got off the inn outside the village and told the shopkeeper and waiter to go home and not to disturb them. If he gave them more money, the shopkeeper would be unified.
The people in Guyue Village are all mortals, and they use gold and silver. Spiritual stones are too precious, so it is difficult to get rid of them.
Tu Yangxing felt that Hu San had leadership qualities and was worth wooing. He could do some shameful things for him in the future, so he took the initiative to say to Hu San, "I fell in love with Brother Hu at first sight. I hope we can look for clues with Brother Hu and make friends."
friend."
Of course Hu San is willing to be the friend of the young master of the Tu family, and the benefits will be indispensable in the future. He nodded and agreed: "It's an honor, I will join brother Tu."
The monks in the hall dispersed to look for clues.
Tang Yue and the six left first, then found each other and rented an empty house from the villagers.
Duan Yitang's face turned pale, "Brother Tu and these monks, what's going on with them? Is Brother Tu still alive?"
Senior Brother Qian replied: "I'm still young and don't have much experience. I really don't know what's going on here. Junior Sister Tang, you have many ideas, what do you think?"
"It's not certain that Senior Brother Tu is not alive. It's possible that the monks he met when he came in are no longer alive. Then he spent more than ten years with these living dead. When he encountered danger, he ran in front of us again." Tang Yue.
She expressed her thoughts. She had read many similar novels.
Murong Hai asked: "You mean, people like Hu San first entered the secret realm, encountered misfortune, turned into mummies, and came back to life for unknown reasons. Then Yang Xing and Brother Shui entered the secret realm, thinking that they were real living people.
We spent more than ten years together. Then we entered the secret realm and the village came back to life."
"If Tu Yangxing is still alive, why doesn't he remember what happened to him in the last Guyue Village? How did his arms grow?" Ruan Ying asked.
Senior Brother Qian thought deeply for a moment, "Maybe he gradually came under the influence of Gu Yue Village and was controlled by the village. We must also pay attention to such things and not be controlled by the secret realm. But I don't know how to prevent it. I must not eat or drink anything from the village.
of."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and everyone was startled. "Do you immortals need something to eat? Our family can make it for you. It's still edible. Do you want to have a taste?"
