Whatever the reason, as soon as they discussed not eating food from the village, a villager came to sell it. Brother Qian was about to refuse, but Tang Yue stopped him. Brother Qian asked her to handle the matter, and unknowingly, they
The team members will refer to Tang Yue's opinions and sometimes forget that she is not yet twelve years old.
She said to the village woman outside the door: "Please bring us something to eat. We happen to be hungry too."
The voice of the village woman outside the door suddenly became very enthusiastic, "Okay, I'll prepare it for you right now."
These immortal masters had just been generous and gave her a lot of money, so she thought about making some food for them, and would probably reward her with some gold and silver. If she could get some elixirs and elixirs, she would make a lot of money.
Everyone looked at her in confusion. Didn't they say they couldn't eat food from the village?
Tang Yue explained to them: "We need to investigate what is going on with the villagers ourselves. Buying their food is an opportunity to gain trust. If we chat with them for a while, we should be able to get a lot of information."
"Besides, we can also take the opportunity to see what these foods are and what impact they will have on the monks."
The others nodded, feeling that Tang Yue did consider Zhou Dao.
The few people discussed for a while, and then the village woman knocked on the door again: "Masters, the food is ready."
Murong Hai went to open the door, "Thank you very much."
This woman looks to be in her forties, dressed in dark linen clothes, with her hair tied up in linen, a common dress for village women.
She said enthusiastically: "I will prepare food for the immortal master."
Murong Hai opened the door and asked her to come in, "Sorry to trouble you."
The village woman came in with a food basket. She made a lot of things and made sure to satisfy the immortal masters, so they would give her some silver as a reward.
Tang Yue asked casually while she was setting the dishes, "Madam, I see there are only you and your uncle at home. Are your children not around?"
"My eldest daughter is married to Niujia Village next door, and my son has gone to work in Jiangshui Town. He comes back to visit us during holidays. We plan to move our family to the town in a few years and live with my son."
The town has a lot of expenses, so she needs to save some money for her future life and find a wife for her son.
They guessed in their hearts that Guyue Village should be a village that once existed, and was not an illusion in the secret realm. For some reasons, those who once lived in Guyue Village kept coming back to life in this mysterious and weird secret realm.
Duan Yitang remembered something Tu Yangxing said, "I see that young women in the village seldom go out to do activities. Is it because there are special customs in the village?"
The village woman's face suddenly turned ugly, "It's better for young women to stay at home to avoid getting into trouble."
Murong Hai took out a large piece of silver. As monks like them, they often travel abroad and inevitably interact with mortals. It would be more convenient to keep some gold and silver with them.
"Can you tell us what happened in the village? We monks travel outside in order to do good deeds and eradicate evil. If there are any serious evildoers here, I will eradicate them for you."
After collecting the money, the village woman seemed to have made up her mind and spoke euphemistically: "Last month, a group of robbers entered our village. After the robbery, when the group left the village, they happened to meet a young girl having fun by the lake.
He did something bad to them."
"After that incident, families with unmarried daughters in the village no longer let their daughters go out easily." After the village woman finished speaking, there was sadness in her expression.
Tang Yue knew the hardship faced by mortal women in ancient times. When social security was not good, they were easily harmed by this kind of harm. It was also thought that they themselves were not careful and that this kind of thing happened to them.
Murong Hai said sternly: "In this case, we will investigate the whereabouts of these bandits and make them pay for their evil deeds."
The village woman was very happy, "With the help of the immortal master, we no longer have to worry about these bandits coming back."
"Please be patient, I still want to dry the millet, so I won't disturb your meal."
"Okay, go and do your work." Murong Hai sent the village woman out again and closed the door.
They used their spiritual consciousness to pay attention to the movements outside the house, and continued the discussion when they were sure that there were no villagers nearby.
"I think the strangeness in this village may be related to the unmarried women who were immersed in pig cages. When a person dies with too much resentment, it will indeed cause changes in the world, not to mention that so many women died together."
Duan Yitang expressed his opinion. In the past, in order to make her happy, Elder Duan often told her his experiences during his travels.
Senior Brother Qian agreed, "Such a thing will indeed happen. Next, we must pay attention to the matter of the woman sinking into the pond."
Tang Yue took out the leaves of the Xuanwu flower and placed them on the food brought in by the village woman. The leaves floated gently.
Chi He asked doubtfully: "This is it?"
Tang Yue explained: "These are the leaves of the Xuanwu flower, which can sense the air of the netherworld. When it encounters the air of the netherworld, the leaves separated from the plant body will float up to absorb the air of the netherworld."
Senior Brother Qian was shocked, "So this is actually the underworld? No wonder the villagers and monks can come back to life, because after a person dies once, he cannot die again. If he is severely injured again, his soul will be scattered between heaven and earth."
Tang Yue shook his head, "We can't be sure it's the underworld. Many places will generate the energy of the underworld due to special conditions. For example, the Xuanwu Secret Realm is because the true god Xuanwu can connect to the underworld, and the secret realm he left behind is also related to the underworld." These things she said.
I all found out about it through casual conversations with people in Xuanwu Town.
While saying these words, Tang Yue also secretly observed Chi He and saw her looking thoughtful.
Murong Hai said: "In short, this place is inseparable from the ghosts and ghosts. In this case, we also have ways to deal with it."
Senior Brother Qian nodded: "Indeed, the underworld values yin virtues. We cannot do evil things here, otherwise we will easily be assimilated by the things in the netherworld and never leave here."
Everyone agreed, and Tang Yue put the puppet away at this time. It is not easy for a creature with weak spiritual power to stay in the Netherworld for too long. Fortunately, only three days have passed, so it did not stay for a long time.
Ruan Ying put away her little snake very early. The environment was strange and she was also afraid of hurting Xiao Bai.
"It's getting dark, we have to go back to the inn, otherwise the monks like Hu San will be suspicious because Yang Xing is still there." Senior Brother Qian reminded everyone, and they went back in batches.
Hu San was listening to Xiu's report at the inn. It seemed that the second and third batch of monks who went to investigate in the dense forest had returned.
"The further we walked into the dense forest, the less spiritual energy we had. In the end, there was almost no spiritual energy, leaving only the endless dense forest. I didn't dare to go any further, so I came back."
"Everyone used various methods on the villagers, even searching for their souls, but no way out was found."
Tang Yue and the others frowned. They actually used soul-searching techniques on innocent villagers. Even the monks couldn't bear it. Mortals would die immediately after being subjected to this technique, and their souls would be scattered, even if they were reincarnated.
Hu San noticed the unbearable expressions on the faces of the six famous disciples, and felt very contemptuous in his heart. He felt that they were really overflowing with sympathy. They didn't even know what the devil was in this place, and they still had time to care about those mortals.
Tu Yangxing asked the monk, "Did you see anything?"
The monk looked ugly, "In the memory of that mortal, I saw that he was a gray-haired old man who died in a sandstorm that hit the village."
The monks in the hall were in an uproar, "What do you mean? How could you see the scene when he died?"
"Are these villagers already dead?"
The cultivators were talking about it. They were among the dead. What power allowed them to live as usual?
Hu San's eyes flashed. If he had the chance, he would definitely get this power of resurrection. He could become a world-famous monk, and even establish his own sect, and no longer have to be a casual cultivator looking for a living.
"In this way, there may be a secret method of life and death here." Tu Yangxing's words reminded everyone in the hall that an unusual secret realm must have unusual opportunities. They gradually stopped talking, but were thinking about how to get such a secret.
Secret treasure.
Tang Yue felt that the version of Tu Yangxing with the broken arm should have omitted many things, such as the fact that they actually discovered that these villagers were dead.
Next, they discussed the returns of the six of them, and picked some unimportant things such as Niujia Village next door and Jiangshui Town nearby.
After hearing this, Hu San and other casual cultivators felt that the famous and upright monks were nothing more than that, and that they were just dudes with nice names.
"We will also check out the villagers at night to see if there is anything strange. We will report back here tomorrow. I hope that if you find anything, don't act without authorization. This secret realm is related to the secret of life and death and is very dangerous. It is safer for everyone to act together."
Hu San hopes to scare everyone with the dangers of the secret realm so that they will obediently give him the information they discovered.
So the cultivators left the inn to explore the village again. Hu San asked Tu Yangxing, "Brother Tu, will you come with me again?" He and Tu Yangxing had a pleasant conversation, and he felt that this disciple of the aristocratic family was very interesting.
Murong Hai said to Hu San before Tu Yangxing could, "I suddenly remembered some things about the Murong family and the Tu family, and wanted to talk to Yang Xing, hoping to act alone with Yang Xing."
There was a possibility that Tu Yangxing was alive, and he could no longer let him act with these mummified monks.
Hu San felt that they might have some family secret skills to perform. These decent monks were really stingy. He would see where they went soon.
Tu Yangxing followed Murong Hai, took him around for a while, and then took him to find Senior Brother Qian and Tang Yue, which was near the private house where they discussed matters during the day.
Hu Sanxin, who was following them from a distance, said that it was indeed the case. These seven famous and upright disciples were hiding something from them. Maybe they just wanted the seven of them to monopolize the treasure. Fortunately, he followed.
Senior Brother Qian noticed Hu San following him, but Tang Yue said he didn't need to worry about it, and he didn't care about Hu San peeping from a distance.
Tang Yue said to them: "Let's go to the village chief's house."
