I just want to be a quiet man

Seeing that he couldn't find out what was going on, Qiao Ciguang didn't continue this topic, but asked about the situation of the funeral master's family: "Who died? What is the family name of the master? Where is it in the village? Should we prepare some condolences?"

At the same time, Sang Village.

Pei Ling was listening to the villagers who led the way explain the rules of the village: "Young master is not an outsider, he just traveled for many years, so he probably doesn't remember the customs of his hometown."

"When you come back this time, remember not to make any noise, and try not to disturb other people."

"Also, don't dress up in the morning, and don't shave at night."

Ok?

Pei Ling frowned slightly, turned his mind, and said, "Old man, why is this?"

"This is a rule passed down from our ancestors." The villager sighed and said, "Young Master just came back, and I really haven't remembered it yet."

"But it doesn't matter, after a while, the young master will remember everything."

The villagers said these words very casually and confidently, but to Pei Ling's ears, they felt a little nervous.

At this moment, they came out of a narrow alley with potholes. In front of them was a single-door courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles. A tall banyan tree was exposed on the top of the wall. The single tree formed a forest, and its air roots hung down like a waterfall.

The villagers stepped forward and pushed open the door: "My lord, we're here."

Chapter 3: Don't shout.

The yard is very large, but it is in decay.

The banyan tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, but there is no grass under it, and it is full of fallen leaves, covering the original green brick floor tightly. The moment the door is opened, with the ears of a monk, he can clearly hear countless insects being frightened and crawling quickly. The rustling of fallen leaves.

The dust aroused by the opening of the door flew up for a while, and then gradually subsided.

The villager casually glanced in and said, "My lord, please do what you want."

Then he walked away.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, Pei Ling inspected the house with [Nightmare Divine Ability], and found that there was no change in his field of vision, so he went in.

Stepping on the thick fallen leaves across the courtyard, and pushing open the door of the main house, I couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But the main room is very spacious, and the interior furnishings are very elegant, tables, chairs, screens, tea sets, furnishings, maids... everything is complete, but they are all paper.

It is unknown who made these paper products, and they are so lifelike that even the wood and stone textures are imitated meticulously.

If it wasn't for a gust of wind when the door was opened, it would have blown up the set of tables and chairs closest to the door, and it would have been impossible to see any flaws.

Seeing this, Pei Ling frowned.

"It's really unreasonable! What is the status of the master, willing to settle in this dilapidated village is a blessing they have cultivated in eighteen lifetimes, and they dare to put the master in such a place, it is simply courting death!" Scrutinizing the words and expressions, the eight Lu Ding immediately looked angry, and Wen Xixue immediately He walked out aggressively, and said as he walked, "Master, wait a moment, this concubine will skin that old thing right now!"

"Sister, calm down." Her younger sister Wen Xiqing said quickly, "What's the point of just skinning that old thing? According to me, it's better to massacre the village."

The other furnaces nodded one after another: "That's right, kill everyone, and the master can live wherever he wants, without being disturbed by these ants."

"Don't mess around." Pei Ling listened, and frowned even tighter. The village is clearly abnormal. Under the circumstances of not knowing anything, killing rashly, how can you know that it is not the way to die?

He immediately ordered, "Without my order, do not attack the village."

"Okay, don't be idle, clean up the house first."

The cauldrons were quite unwilling, but they still responded in Yingsheng Yanyu: "Yes."

... Outside the house, behind a clump of miscellaneous trees.

Several casual cultivators with hidden talismans stared at Kang Shaoyin from a distance and brought eight furnace cauldrons into the hospital. They waited patiently for a while, but they did not come out. They looked at each other, and immediately took out the sound transmission talisman to urge: "Senior Woqiu, Kang Shaoyin is already here Live in the west house of the village. It is estimated that he is living happily with his furnace now, and will not come out for a while."

Ancestor Woqiu's voice suddenly sounded from the sound transmission talisman: "Okay! Keep an eye on him. If there is any situation, I will wait for you through sound transmission immediately. Don't worry, you guys, once you find the opportunity, you will definitely be there."

Several casual cultivators were overjoyed: "Thank you, senior!"

After the sound transmission was over, the ancestor of Woqiu put away the sound transmission symbol and looked around.

He has now brought a large number of casual cultivators to the south of the village.

If it weren't for Kang Shaoyin, who was scruples about the natural teaching, he would have already started to act.

After pondering for a while, Patriarch Woqiu sent a voice transmission to the four elders of the Xiao family who had also brought their manpower to various locations in the village: "Kang Shaoyin has rested and can act now!"

The four elders of the Xiao family responded one after another: "Good!"

Therefore, the ancestor of Woqiu immediately pointed to the surrounding people and ordered: "Search!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the casual cultivators rushed out like wolves like tigers, kicked doors and smashed windows, entered halls and rooms, and searched wantonly.The Patriarch Woqiu himself was not idle, he led several disciples and broke into a house.

At the same time, so did the four elders of the Xiao family.

The originally quiet village, except for the west of the village where Kang Shaoyin was located, was suddenly full of chaos and noise.

boom!

A casual cultivator in the Foundation Establishment period kicked open a dilapidated door.

He had a happy smile on his face.

Along the way, I walked with trepidation and fear.

Now, I can finally vent for a while!

Although it would be demeaning to attack ordinary people, but this matter was instigated by Patriarch Woqiu and the four elders of the Xiao family, so he can't be blamed.

Of course, there may be some problems in this village.

But they have repeatedly confirmed just now that all the villagers in the village have no cultivation base.Any one of them could slaughter the whole village.

If it wasn't for the true biography of the Tiansheng Sect, they would have set fire to the whole village long ago!

Thinking this way, the casual cultivator walked into the house swaggeringly, and saw an honest and honest villager, holding an ax, splitting firewood in the yard.

Seeing him barging in, the villager showed surprise. Before he could open his mouth, the casual cultivator rushed into the house recklessly and began to rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

But soon, he walked out of the empty house with nothing in his hands.

Sanxiu's expression was gloomy. When he came out, he saw that the villagers were still staring at him blankly. He rushed up, grabbed his skirt, and shouted angrily, "Where is the chance? Where is the chance in your village? ?”

Before the words were finished and the villagers hadn't answered, the casual cultivator suddenly felt his throat stuck, as if his throat was tightly blocked by something.

He subconsciously wanted to cough a few times to cough out the obstruction.

But then, he found that his limbs were sore and limp for a while, as if he had been sucked out of all his strength by something, and his true energy seemed to be frozen, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't mobilize the slightest bit.

Soon, his whole body was hoisted out of thin air, and blood flowed out from the seven orifices, quickly soaking the ground in the courtyard...

The villagers looked at this scene, sighed slightly, and said, "Why don't you listen to my advice? Don't make any noise..."

After a while, the casual cultivator landed lightly, leaving only a complete human skin.

The villagers dropped their axes, went over to pick up the human skin, and brought it into the house.

Soon, various sounds of tanning came from the house...

A little farther away from this private house, a casual cultivator broke into a house aggressively.

This family lives by the river, and there is a large willow tree planted in the yard that several people embrace.

At this moment, four or five young children, holding willow branches, are playing under the tree.

When they saw him barging in, they were startled, showing fear.

The casual cultivator ignored the children, rushed into the house and rummaged for a while, but found nothing except some tatters.

Back in the yard, I saw a few children not crying, making trouble or running, looking straight at me, a burst of anger for no reason in my heart, just about to kill them on the spot, suddenly my heart moved, and I took out a bullet from the storage bag. The low-level spirit fruit waved for the youngest child to come over: "Is there any special rumor in your village?"

Chapters 3 and [-]: A nursery rhyme.

The child's complexion was yellowish, his cheeks were stained with streaks of gray, and he was dirty. There was a velvet flower tied on his head, but he was a little girl with good facial features.

She looked at the spiritual fruit, showing hesitation, as if she wanted to lean in but didn't dare.

Seeing this, the Sanxiu patiently coaxed a few more words before the little girl slowly moved to his side and stretched out her hand to pick up the spiritual fruit.

Sanxiu shook his hand, avoided her, and said, "Tell me first, is there any special rumor in your village?"

The little girl hesitated before saying, "Yes."

"What is it?" Sanxiu was overjoyed and asked hastily.

"Grandpa said that if the brothers of the village chief's family don't marry again, it will be bad." The little girl bit her lip, "So let us all stay at home obediently, and he has to help save the dowry."

marry a wife?

bride price?

Sanxiu frowned. He followed the ancestors of Woqiu and the four elders of the Xiao family. He entered the village later. He didn't hear much about the happy event in the village.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I had no clue, so I continued to ask: "What else?"

"Anything else?" The little girl stared blankly at the spirit fruit in his hand, and said dully, "There's still... I don't know."

Seemingly aware of the gloomy expression on Sanxiu's face, not far away, several companions of the little girl mustered up their courage and said, "There is another ballad, Grandpa said it was handed down by the ancestors, do you want to listen to it?"

Sanxiu immediately said, "Say it!"

The children nodded, waved the willow branches in their hands, and sang in unison: "Yang Liu is alive, spin the top."

As soon as the words fell, Sanxiu suddenly became dizzy, "Pa", he was hit hard on the back, and there was a burning pain.

Sanxiu was shocked, and when he stumbled, he looked around, and was surprised to find that he turned into a spinning top? ? ?

Surrounded by children who were still terrified just now, they waved willow branches in their hands, laughing and pulling them down.

The crisp nursery rhyme continues: "Yangliu Erqing, let the clock go."

"Yang Liuer dies, kick the shuttlecock."

"Willow sprouts, pull them out. 【Note】"

After a while, several children worked together to gather up the scattered repairs scattered all over the ground and pile them under the willow tree.

The roots of the willow tree squirmed for a while, and soon devoured all the flesh and bones, and the courtyard quickly returned to its original calm.

...Xiao Zhongtao kicked open a door, revealing the simple inner room. In the room, a mortal woman dressed as a young woman in her twenties stood up from the spinning wheel in fright.

The woman's complexion was sallow, but her eyebrows and eyes were faintly beautiful, and she looked at them with trepidation, not daring to breathe.

Xiao Zhongtao didn't pay any attention to her, and stepped forward, smashing open all the boxes, tables, chairs, beds, digging the ground inch by inch, inspecting the four walls of the roof... At this time, the woman who was stunned finally came back to her senses, and asked nonchalantly Said: "You... how dare you break into my house?"

Xiao Zhongtao smiled coldly and said, "Find something, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a blockage in his throat, and soon, his limbs became sore and limp, as if being sucked out of all his strength by something. , he and the accompanying casual cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Period were all lifted up by an invisible force, and blood flowed...

Down below, the mortal woman sighed slightly when she saw this scene, then sat back and continued to weave.

The blood wetted the spinning thread, and the original tooth-white homecloth gradually turned crimson red... The woman looked at it, and gradually stretched her brows, revealing a look of joy.

At the same time, the Patriarch Woqiu was standing in front of an old man, his eyes wide open, his expression terrified, and there was a sound of "ho ho" in his throat, but no matter how frightened he was, the invisible force would still Little by little, it was lifted into the air...

※※※

Azusa Village.

Village East.

A dilapidated house stood alone, hundreds of feet away from the nearest private house.

The villagers who led the way sent them to the door, then took their leave.

The crowd couldn't stay, so they turned their heads and looked at the house in front of them.

It can be seen from this place that it was built with great care and occupies a vast area.

It's just that there is no grass inside or outside, and there is no vegetation.

Qiao Ciguang led the way into the yard and looked around, but found nothing abnormal except for the coldness and coldness caused by no one living there all year round.

She then told everyone: "Don't make noise in the village, don't force your way into the empty door, don't attack the villagers, don't wear red at night, and don't wear hairpins during the day."

"This is a taboo in the village. Everyone must keep it in mind. Don't violate it unless it is absolutely necessary."

A group of people responded one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Ciguang called several junior sisters and Shi Wanli aside, and said via voice transmission: "What do you think of this Zi Village?"

There are four people from the same sect who went to the island with her this time, Ruan Zhi, Zhang Jing, Chu Hanbei, and Zhong Shizhu, all of whom are at the alchemy stage.

Hearing this, Ruan Zhi immediately said, "The most suspicious thing now is the funeral in the village."
