The old white man asked me with some concern: "Can they be cured?"

I said, "Let them go back first."

The old white-headed man then straightened his body and waved his hand to the villagers present: "It's okay, it's okay, go back."

I found that these people were randomly called out for excuse by Lao Baitou, and then disbanded by Lao Baitou for no reason, but there was no complaint or confusion at all. Lao Baitou asked them to go back, and they went home alone, as if nothing had happened just now.

I think they are probably used to this kind of life. Everything is done by the old white-haired man alone. They do whatever the old white-haired man asks them to do. They never ask questions and always follow the old white-haired man, seemingly unyielding.

No one knows what they have experienced over the years, but when I see these villagers, I can see the desire for something in their eyes, which is called survival.

It seems that for them, only by keeping up with the old white-headed steps can they survive.

I pulled Lao Baitou back to the main road in the village, and then said, "It's more troublesome than I imagined."

The old white-head probably didn't expect that I would give him such an answer, and became a little helpless: "Then... can they still save them?"

"I can't save them," I said to the old white-headed, "but I know who can save them."

After saying that, I turned to Liu Shangang: "Skinny Monkey, go back to Shandong and take Huang Daxian over."

Liu Shangang thought for a while and asked me: "Oh, are you talking about the yellow-skinned sperm on the Luan Tung Mountain? Oh, I haven't contacted him for several years."

I said, "Even if you force yourself to drag him, you will drag him here. Only he can solve the problem here. By the way, don't forget to bring him the soul-guiding lamp and soul-catching lock when he comes."

Liu Shangang turned around and was about to leave, but he came back without taking two steps. He asked me with a deep revenge on his face: "I'll go back by myself?"

I thought about it and asked him, "How long will it take you to go back and forth?"

He thought about it before responding to me: "If it goes well, it will only take about a week if it goes well."

I took out a white candle from my backpack. This candle was made by my master from corpse wax back then. The corpse wax accumulated by Jihun Village over the years has been tight, and I haven't made new ones. Now there are fewer and fewer candles like this.

I handed the candle to Liang Houzai and said to him: "You go with the Shouhou and be a companion on the road. When I come back, light the candle at the entrance of the village and I will know that you are here."

Liang Houzai took the candle and asked me, "Can you do it alone?"

I smiled and said, "Don't worry. Are there Xian'er and Luo Fei?"

After that, Liang Houzai didn't say anything and left with Liu Shangang.

The reason why Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang went together was that I was worried that someone would ambush Liu Shangang on the way. He was very good at shooting skills and was very accurate. He was afraid that he would meet an opponent who had a Taoist practice and let him deal with people in the cultivation circle alone. He was really not good. With Liang Houzai following him, it would be considered an extra level of guarantee.

After Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang left, I said I would go around the village and ask Lao Baitou to go home by himself. Before leaving, he told me not to go for too long and go back early to rest.

After spending more than an hour in Shangzhai, I guess Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang had left the village, so I took Luo Fei and Xian'er to the entrance of the village and set up a gate sealing formation.

I have noticed before that the village can only leave the mountains through the entrance of the village, while the village is surrounded by mountains and cannot get out at all. In other words, if you want to enter and exit the village, the village entrance is the only way to pass.

The reason why the gate seal formation was to prevent the people in the village from going out, especially to prevent the mute girl from leaving quietly. After the formation was formed, the people outside could not enter and the people inside could not go out, and the old Qiang Village would become completely closed. If someone wanted to break the formation, once he had tampered with the gate seal formation, I could sense it immediately.

In order to make the formation powerful enough, I placed the Fantian Seal on the side of the array eye as the object of the sealing gate formation.

After confirming that the formation was completed, I found an abandoned house near the entrance of the village, took out the sleeping bag from my backpack, and rested on the spot.

Recently, I have not planned to stay at Lao Baitou's house, nor have I planned to have too much contact with him. I want to go around the village and learn about the situation of this old Qiang village carefully.

Xian'er and Luo Fei also took out their sleeping bags and went to the next room to rest.

Although I didn't rest all night, I was not sleepy yet, so I lay on the ground, staring at the dusty beams.

There are also some rough furniture in the house. They have been affected by moisture over the years and emit a very pungent musty smell, and even the thick beams have the same smell.

I kept recalling the things I saw last night in my mind. First, there was a black spring in the backyard of Lao Baitou's house, and the Qi field in the spring was in the middle. Then we saw the wandering soul in the alley. Under its guidance, we arrived at Xiazhai, saw the strange villagers, and found Lao Baitou.

After thinking about it, I always feel something is wrong. Why did the wandering soul appear in front of us, why did it take us to the village, and why there is no trace of yin energy on its body.

I had a vague premonition that the wandering soul might know something about the villagers' side, but where is it now?

I remember that it took us to the vicinity of the canyon and drifted into the darkness of the canyon. It has never appeared again. Could it have entered the canyon...

As I thought about it, my mind began to be turbid and finally fell asleep.

I slept very deeply and didn't dream. I was awakened by the pressure from my arms. At that time, I was in a daze. Before I opened my eyes, I felt something pressing on my left forearm, weighing thirty or forty pounds.

Before I could sleep, I tried a lot of effort to open my eyes and saw Xian'er squatting beside me, tilting her head to look at me. At that time, one of her feet happened to be stepping on my arm.

I rubbed my eyes: "What are you doing?"

Xian'er smacked her lips: "Zuo Youdao, the more I look at you, the more ugly I think you are?"

I sat up on the ground and stretched out my long and lazy body: "If it's ugly, it's ugly. Anyway, I don't rely on my face to make a living. What time is it now?"

Xian'er stood up and said, "It's noon, get up quickly and find us some food." While leaving the house where I was.

I moved my shoulders, got up, walked to the window and looked outside.

The weather became clear at some point. Now it was noon, and the sun was hanging in the center of the sky. The sun shone down, causing the houses and the ground to be attached to the moisture to emit a layer of oily luster.

Speaking of which, when the sky is clear, the old Qiang Village in front of me is actually a very beautiful place, with a unique building, a large area of ​​oily green in the mountains and forests, and clean sunlight and air, revealing a bit of paradise-like freshness and mystery.

At this time, Xian'er rushed into the room where I was and urged me impatiently: "Take us to find food!"

I turned my head and looked at her: "Don't there be compressed cookies in my backpack?"

Xian'er: "I'm tired of eating."

To be honest, I have eaten enough of those fast foods when I was walking outside over the years, so I planned to go to the villagers' homes to have a meal and ask about the local situation.

But Xian'er suddenly said without hesitation: "I saw seasonings in your backpack."

I looked at my backpack and there were indeed signs of being turned over. But Xian'er seemed to be fine and why did she do my backpack?

I looked at her in confusion, and she also looked at me, but I didn't say anything after a long time.

Later, Luo Fei walked in with a smile and said to me, "Xian'er wants to eat the fish you made, and wants you to turn on the fire and cook at noon."

"That's the case," I said to Xian'er: "Just just say no if you want to eat fish? You have to make it so troublesome. I don't know what you mean."

Xian'er glanced at me: "I don't tell you this kind of thing directly, it makes me look so greedy."

Are you already greedy?

I was just thinking this in my heart, but I didn't say much, I just picked up my backpack and looked at the seasonings in my side pocket.

The things in the backpack were prepared by Liu Shangang. I didn’t know in advance that he had put the seasonings in, but he couldn’t cook and the types of seasonings he prepared were also very limited.

I asked Xian'er: "Can you eat grilled fish?"

Xian'er: "Whatever."

Why do I feel this guy is weird today? If it were in the past, she should be more excited when it comes to eating. Why is she so cold today?

Luo Fei also asked Xian'er: "Xian'er, why do I think you are not very happy today?"

"I'm fine," Xian'er muttered, "Hurry up, my stomach is almost hungry."

I didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately put on my backpack and left the house. Before going to have a meal, I went to the entrance of the village to check it out and confirmed that there was no problem with the gate sealing formation, so I took Xian'er and Luo Fei to the canyon.

I didn't plan to enter the canyon, but because there are many residents in this area and I want to buy a fish from them.

Along the way, Xian'er was always depressed. Sometimes when I turned to see her, she would give me a big roll of eyes.

It’s strange. What kind of nerves did this child get today? I asked her to provoke her.

When she was about to arrive on the main road in the middle of the village, Xian'er suddenly called me: "Zuo Youdao."

I turned my head to look at her: "What's wrong?"

Xian'er: "It's okay."

What do you tell me to do if it’s okay?

I was wondering, and Luo Fei also spoke: "Xian'er, what's wrong with you today?"

Xian'er glared at me in a suffocating voice: "It's okay, I'm just angry."

Luo Fei asked her: "Who are you angry with?"

Xian'er looked at me while saying "Who else can you?"

I was puzzled at the time: "No... Xian'er, I've got you again? Why are you angry with me?"

Xian'er gave me a fierce look: "I suddenly remembered that I have known you for so long. You have never brought me out to play, nor have you ever accompanied me on the street or watched movies."

I was getting more and more confused about what she was going to do, but I still responded: "How can I have that skill? I have been running around for years, so how can I have time to do these things?"

Xian'er: "Who said, didn't you rest for several days a while ago? At that time, you were fine. Didn't you stay at home all day and never took us out once?"

I said, "Don't forget that I have an apprentice now. During the days in Bohai Bay, I spent all my energy on the ghost kids. What does it mean to stay at home? I also have serious business at home. No, I said you are having a nerve today. Why can't you get along with me as long as Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai are not there?"

I didn't mean to blame her for saying this, but just stated an established fact.

Think back to the fact that every time I have a conflict with Xian'er, it seems that Liu Shang'ang and Liang Houzai are not in front of me. Could it be that the two life gates in my life also have the function of preventing Xian'er from getting angry at me?
