I just want to be a quiet man

"On the way here just now, the senior sister asked many times who died and how, but the villager kept talking about other things and refused to say anything."

"Senior Sister, something is very wrong with this village. Maybe the villagers we saw just now are not living people at all, but sneaky people in disguise?" said a female cultivator with a double snail bun and a cyan skirt.

This is Zhang Jing.

"That's right! Sister, should we try it out?" Chu Hanbei, a female cultivator in a cloud bun and a light yellow shirt and turquoise skirt, also said, "If these villagers are not alive at all, then we will come A fight against demons and Dao can also solve the root cause of this village's treachery."

Zhong Shizhu, who hadn't spoken all this time, nodded lightly: "This floating island is related to Yousu Tomb, and Yousu Tomb is a place where ghosts inhabit, and they hate everything about the living. And these villagers are all mortals with no cultivation base. Now, according to common sense, how could they survive on the floating island?"

Listening to the opinions expressed by the junior sisters, Qiao Ciguang's expression did not change. Several junior sisters suspected that there was something wrong with the villagers in the village. She was like this at the beginning, but...

Thinking of this, Qiao Ciguang turned to Shi Wanli: "Lord Shi, what do you think?"

Shi Wanli frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "There must be something wrong with this village! But those villagers, it's hard to draw a conclusion yet."

"After all, whether the villagers are alive or not is not the most important thing."

"The most important thing is, are they kind to us or are they malicious?"

"We are not demons heretics. If the situation of the villagers is different, but there is no malice towards us, it would be a breach of integrity and go against your and my Dao heart."

"Judging from the contact so far, they took the initiative to tell us the rules of the village."

"Next, we'd better verify whether these rules are true or not."

"If the rules are true, it means that no matter how these villagers survived on the island, and whether they are still alive or not, they are not enemies."

"Otherwise, don't say anything, and wait for us to break the taboo, wouldn't it be good?"

"If the rules are false, let's make a plan."

Hearing this, Qiao Ciguang nodded slightly: "That's right! That's exactly the reason. However, based on my experience, there are some evil and cunning, and the words are mixed with truth and falsehood, which is very confusing. So next, we still have to be careful. "

Chapter 3 and five: dreams.

Shi Wanli continued, "What we need to do now are three things."

"First, find out which family held the funeral, who died? What was the cause of death?"

"Second, investigate the origin of the village and why it survived on a floating island that suddenly appeared and disappeared. Moreover, when the floating island appeared ten years ago, there was no such village."

"Third, go meet the village head of this village. Compared with ordinary villagers, the village head must know more secrets."

"Of course, the village chief is also more dangerous than ordinary villagers."

Qiao Ciguang nodded and said, "As long as you meet the village head, these three things can actually be done together. So, you stay here first, and I will go find the village head alone."

Shi Wanli thought for a while, then nodded, "Then there will be Senior Sister Lao Qiao."

Ruan Zhi and the others looked worried, but they didn't stop them, they only told: "Senior Sister, please be careful."

"If something is wrong, come back immediately."

"Although chance is important, my Suzhentian inheritance is not weak. It is not necessary to get it. The safety of senior sister is always the most important."

Qiao Ciguang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

After comforting the junior sisters, she got up and left the house.

Watching him leave, Shi Wanli pondered for a moment, then stood up, and said, "Since Senior Sister Qiao is looking for the village head, I'll go and ask about the funeral director."

Ruan Zhi hurriedly said, "Senior Sister asked us to stay here..."

"Junior Sister Ruan, don't worry, I, Chanlou, have my own means to find out the news." Shi Wanli said, "And I won't force it."

He thought to himself, although the relationship between Liu Greed Dynasty and Su Zhentian is good, they are not a family after all.

Since I came to the island, I have always relied on Qiao Ci's true biography, so even if the opportunity is now, what face would I have to compete with Qiao Ciguang?

What's more, he is the owner of the sub-floor of the Cicada Building, and on this island, he represents the face of the Liugre Dynasty. How can he do nothing and enjoy Qiao Ciguang's protection and sharing?

So Shi Wanli forcefully left after a few perfunctory sentences.

After he left, Ruan Zhi and the others couldn't sit still: "These days, the senior sister does everything by herself, taking the lead. We are alchemy monks at any rate, but we are like children, letting the senior sister take risks alone... Really It's too cumbersome!"

"Lord Shi has gone out to inquire about the news. Although he entered alchemy earlier than us, his cultivation strength is slightly higher than ours, but it is still limited."

"Right now, you dare to go out alone to inquire about the situation. If we are still huddled here, we will not be underestimated by the people of the Liulu Dynasty."

"In this way, if we go two by two and take care of each other, we should be fine."

"Okay, let's do it!"

At that moment, Ruan Zhi and the others decided that since Senior Sister Qiao was looking for existence and Shi Wanli was going to inquire about the funeral, they would investigate the origin of the village.

So they called Fairy Yumeng, Sanxiu Yumeng, who was in the pill formation period, and said, "You stay here and watch everyone, we have something to go out, and we will be back later."

As he said that, he left regardless of Fairy Yumeng's questioning.

Seeing that Fairy Qiao, Shi Wanli and Su Zhentian's disciples had all left, Fairy Yu Meng panicked.

Could it be that there is something wrong with this house, so Su Zhentian and people from the Liulian Dynasty dare not live in it?

Or, Su Zhentian and Liu Gu Dynasty have already found clues, and they want to get rid of all these casual cultivators, so that they can get away and take chances?

Thinking of this, Fairy Yumeng made a quick decision, without even informing the other casual cultivators, she just quietly left the house, she was going to find Qiao Ciguang.

Only following Qiao Ciguang is the safest...

Mulberry Village.

Village west house.

The eight Ludings were very agile in their work. Soon, they cleaned up the main hall and the left and right side rooms. They also took out a lot of furniture, spiritual wine, refreshments, furnishings, etc. from the storage bag, and placed them on the beams of the house. More than a dozen luminous pearls were used for lighting.

The main room, which was originally deserted and decaying, has been transformed into a luxurious and gorgeous room after some decorations by them.

Pei Ling sat on the cloud bed in the East Wing and breathed out. After cleaning up the room, the eight Lu Dings all changed into dresses and put on makeup.

In order to avoid being harassed, Pei Ling simply closed her eyes and pretended to be cultivating, but she was thinking in her heart: "Don't dress up in the morning, and don't shave at night."

"This rule is a bit strange, but the situation is unknown now, so it's best not to violate it."

"Also, tomorrow the only son of the village chief will get married..."

"I'd better go to the village head first and inquire about the situation."

"Besides, it's girls from other villages who are going to marry."

"After tomorrow's wedding is over, I have to find an opportunity to get in touch with the bride and find out where Zi Village is and what's going on in the village?"

"And then there's the history of this Sang Village."

"The floating island is related to Yousu Tomb, one of the four major evil places. Few living people can set foot on it. If we can find out the origin of this village, we may be able to solve many mysteries..."

"As long as the general situation is determined, no matter how deeply hidden the opportunities in this village are, I can use the method of system trusteeship to get them directly."

Thinking of this, Pei Ling immediately decided to go to the village chief alone.

And these eight female cultivators, who were trained by the secret method of natural teaching, are a little abnormal in their minds. In the current situation, whether it is to let them follow me or send them out to do other things, I am afraid it is not a good idea.

Therefore, he decided to let them stay in the house altogether.

After calculating everything, Pei Ling was about to get up when he suddenly felt sleepy.

Almost at the snap of his fingers, he couldn't even lift his eyelids, and fell asleep on the spot...

While half asleep and half awake, Pei Ling heard the sound of pattering rain, accompanied by dull thunder.

The sound of thunder and rain seemed familiar, but at this moment, he had no time to take care of it, because he found that he was standing on a strange small building.

The small building was gloomy, with dilapidated scenes everywhere, and countless spider webs covering the entire pavilion layer by layer.

Only the place where he was standing was relatively clean.

And not far away, there was a window without a window lattice. Outside the window was pouring rain, and thunder was rolling in the air.

But the strange thing is that despite the heavy rain and the blowing wind is full of water vapor, the ground is dry without any water stains.

It was as if the rain suddenly disappeared when it touched the ground.

Pei Ling was full of doubts in his heart. He looked into the distance, just like in the small building, under the rain curtain outside the window, it was also dark, and only the silhouettes of various scenes could be seen.

But facing the front of the small building, there is a bright color: it is a field of roses in full bloom.

There are red and white, intertwined like tapestry, blooming almost violently on a small hillside.

Their branches and leaves, which should have been emerald green, were all gray and black in the rain.

Only the gorgeous flowers are not affected at all, they are still full of energy, blooming bright pink and tea white.

Pei Ling stared at the patch of roses for a moment, and suddenly felt something, and turned his gaze further away. On the edge of the raging roses, a slender figure stood impressively.

The figure was holding a pair of bright scissors, and was slowly cutting the roses in front of her. She was picking and choosing, as if she planned to choose the most satisfactory one to put in the vase.

As if aware of Pei Ling's gaze, the other party stopped the scissors in his hand and slowly raised his head.

Plain white cheeks, beautiful and soft eyebrows and eyes, and a little mole on the corner of the lips, added a bit of playfulness to everyone's ladylike and demure temperament.

She raised her face and looked straight at Pei Ling upstairs through the large patch of roses.

Pei Ling felt as if she knew this girl, but she couldn't remember any memories related to her.

Even at this moment, his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't even remember who he was.

At this moment, the girl suddenly opened her mouth, her lips moved, and a clear and sweet voice was heard in Pei Ling's ears through the rolling thunder, pouring rain, and rose bushes: "Ji Wu..."

...Pei Ling woke up suddenly!

Chapters 3 and [-]: The head of Azusa Village.

Pei Ling felt his heartbeat beating uncontrollably. He looked around calmly, and looked at the eight furnace cauldrons who were still holding their breath. He always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something?

I can't think of it no matter what, but there is an inexplicable idea in my mind for no reason: at the critical moment, take out the female corpse in the storage bag to save her life.

female corpse?

Save your life?

Pei Ling frowned, what a mess...

There are still two female corpses in his storage bag, one of them is unidentified, and the other is Su Zhentian's disciple.

As for Su Zhentian's true biography, Qiao Ciguang, he has been lingering in the sea for a long time, just to avenge his classmates!

So taking out the female corpse at a critical moment, not to mention saving her life, it would be good if she didn't urge her to die.

Shaking his head, Pei Ling decided to continue with the plan just now, so he ordered: "You stay here to guard the house, and I will go out for a while."

"Master..." The cauldrons were about to speak, seeing Pei Ling's complexion darkened, they didn't dare to pester them any more, and only said, "Yes!"

Pei Ling then stood up, straightened her robes, and walked outside.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he realized that someone was staring at him in the dark.

Pei Ling's expression didn't change much, he had already recognized the aura of those casual cultivators.Most likely, Sanxiu was afraid of the name of Tianshengjiao, so he specially sent someone to observe his every move.

Right now, he still had important things to do, so he ignored those casual cultivators, and saw a villager passing by nearby, so he walked over directly: "This old man, dare to ask where the village chief is?"

The villager stood still and sighed: "Young master has been away for too long, how can you forget such a thing?"

Then he pointed him in the direction, "Go there, there are seven pines and cypresses in front of the door."

"Thank you, old man." After thanking Pei Ling, he followed what he said.

After a while, he saw seven tall pines and cypresses. Behind the pines and cypresses was a rather solemn mansion.

It is tall and majestic, and there are engraved stone lions guarding the door, but the stone lion seems to be old and has a strange shape.

In general, the mansion is very out of place with the surrounding huts.

If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, one would not have imagined that there was such a deep house in such a village.

He looked around and knocked on the door.

Azusa Village.

In front of a house next to the river, the surroundings are bare and there is nothing. There is a yard made of stones, but it is chest-high. Standing outside the yard, you can directly see the situation in the yard.
