Outside it was dark and rainy, but inside it was warm and comfortable.

Under such a strong contrast, it seemed that the world that sheltered from the rain was extraordinarily precious and comfortable. Everyone used the clear water in their bags, combined with the newly bought glutinous rice cakes, added some green vegetables, and made a pot of hot porridge together. Then everyone held the bowl and drank it warmly.

Listening to the sound of the intense rain, sitting by the bonfire, the dampness on the body has long since disappeared. After eating a bowl of hot porridge, it seems that even the heart is warmed up. Everyone has nothing to do in this comfortable environment. After resting, they all fell asleep.

Soon, there was a sound of even breathing in the ruined temple...

As time passed, there was silence in the mountain temple, only the occasional crackling sound from the fire.

Two piles of bonfires, next to the largest pile, people from Xiaowushan leaned against each other in a crowd. In the corner, Tang Yushui was lying on Fu Qingluan's shoulder, Fu Lin was lying next to him, and Xie Yu was leaning on the other side. On a pillar, eyes closed.

Suddenly, a faint cry of a baby floated in from the outside, suddenly distant and near, like sorrow or sorrow, the sound pierced into the ears.

Xie Yu shuddered and woke up suddenly. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he had fallen asleep at some point.When did I fall asleep? This thought came to his mind, he instinctively glanced around, and found that everyone in the temple was actually asleep.

When one raised his eyes, Min Qingxian over there also shuddered suddenly, and sat up suddenly. Xie Yu looked at him, and he also raised his eyes to glance at everyone, and met Xie Yu's eyes, and he said: " Did you hear that too?"

Xie Yu nodded.

"Baby crying?" It was raining heavily outside just now, how could there be a baby crying?Min Qingxian thought so, and looked outside, only to find that the sound of rain outside had stopped, and a faint light from the sky came in through the door.

"Has the rain stopped?" Min Qingxian was a little surprised.

As if they had made an appointment, everyone in Xiaowushan woke up one by one. Liao Baizhuo, who woke up earlier, rubbed his eyes and got up, "Hey, why did I fall asleep?!" He turned to look at Min Qingxian: "Uncle Master Do you want to go out and have a look? It seems that there is a baby outside."

Min Qingxian nodded: "Go out and have a look."

Liao Baizhuo nodded, got up and gave Qi Mingqiao a hand: "Brother Qi, come out with me."

Qi Mingqiao glanced at him, "The child is so pitiful. He was abandoned just after the heavy rain. How aggrieved you are crying. It seems to be at the door. Let's go out and see, nothing will happen."

Qi Mingqiao nodded, took his sword, and went out with Liao Baizhuo.

As soon as Liao Baizhuo went out, some people who woke up later got up one after another.

"How long have we been sleeping?"

"do not know."

Xie Yu looked at the bonfire beside him, the fire was still burning vigorously, and they didn't sleep for a long time.At least the firewood hasn't been burned yet.

However, he always felt something was wrong. Fu Lin and Tang Yushui next to him woke up one after another. He closed his eyes and raised his breath for a week, but he didn't find any abnormalities in his body.

He checked Fu Lin and Tang Yushui again, and found that they were basically fine. He paused, and then touched Fu Qingluan's wrist. Compared with the previous night, Fu Qingluan's pulse condition did not change at all.

Xie Yu frowned slightly, and sat back silently.

Min Qingxian found out that it was just after noon, and the rain outside had stopped again, so he ordered everyone to pack up and prepare to set off when Liao Baizhuo and Qi Mingqiao came back.

But Liao Baizhuo and Qi Mingqiao went out for a long time, and not long after they went out, the baby's crying stopped. Everyone thought they had found the baby, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't come back.

It stands to reason that if they just go out and look around the door, they shouldn't be far away, and it won't take much time.

Could it be that they had some trouble?Seeing that everyone was busy with their own work, Min Qingxian finally couldn't sit still and stood up, but just as he was about to walk to the door, Liao Baizhuo and Qi Mingqiao came back slowly.

"Why did it take so long?" Min Qingxian looked at their empty hands: "Didn't you find the child?"

Both Liao Baizhuo and Qi Mingqiao were a little listless, with listless expressions, Liao Baizhuo shook his head: "There is nothing." As he said this, he passed Min Qingxian, walked to the side and sat down.

"Have you found them all?"

Liao Baizhuo nodded.

Min Qingxian looked at the two people sitting there with their heads down and motionless, their eyes staring straight, their expressions sluggish, and beckoned to a disciple to take care of them by the way, if they found anything unusual , just tell him.

The disciple agreed.

Since the time was only past noon, they had already had lunch and had a rest, so it was not good to spend the night here, so they got back into the carriage and set off again.

Although the rain had stopped, the sky outside was still only dim, and the line of sight was not very good.

Because of the rain, it didn't take long to walk, and there was another layer of mist on the ground, and because of the heavy rain before, the road was a bit muddy, in order to prevent the horseshoe from sinking in the deep pit with stagnant water, or in the poor sight They drove the carriages into the ditch under any circumstances, and they adjusted the order of the team. Min Qingxian took the lead, and half of the people in Xiaowushan followed Min Qingxian and lit torches in front to scout the way. Behind the chariot.

Around the huge mountain wall, they walked all the way, and after a short walk, they entered a forest again.

The trees in this forest are not very dense, but the branches are intertwined and criss-crossed, and they grow quite individual. Often, the horizontal branches suddenly block the road, making it quite awkward to walk on a good road. Walking, it is possible to be recognized by them.

So the pathfinders walked more carefully in front, and even cleared the way for the carriage.

Xie Yu drove a carriage on the road opened by Xiaowu Mountain. Because of the rain and mud, people's footsteps were much faster than that of a carriage. The people in front walked fast, but when the people behind were delayed by the carriage, the team pulled A little longer than before.But everyone echoed back and forth from time to time, so they wouldn't fall behind.

Probably because of the rain, the leaves on the trees are sparse.Because of the mist, almost only the outline of the trunk can be seen. From a distance, the tree seems to be showing its teeth and claws. Xie Yu was more careful, so he marked every place he passed by with sword energy.

Min Qingxian was worried about Liao Baizhuo and Qi Mingqiao, so he asked the disciple to lead them in the road-finding team.

As they were walking, Liao Baizhuo and Qi Mingqiao suddenly stopped together. The disciple who was guarding them felt strange. Looking at them, they found that both of them were looking up, looking in a high direction.

The disciple raised his head and looked there suspiciously. After they entered the forest, the fog was thicker than outside, probably because of the forest, and now they could only see within a few meters.The disciple looked at the place carefully through his hazy vision, and called Min Qingxian: "Uncle?"

Min Qing, who was at the front of the line, paused for a while, stopped around for a while, turned around and walked back holding a torch: "What?" He said, "But what's unusual about Xiao Qi and the others?" The listless two glanced at each other.

The disciple shook his head, raised his finger and pointed in one direction: "There," said the disciple, "is there something hanging on the top of the tree?"

Min Qingxian took a look at his pointing, his cultivation base was higher than his disciples, and he took a closer look: "It seems that something is hanging, go, go and have a look."

When Xie Yu drove forward in the carriage, he found that the team in front seemed to have stopped, and the voices of the audience were arguing, there seemed to be some commotion, and some people made small exclamations. Xie Yu thought about it, but did not give up Instead, he drove forward in a carriage and asked the nearest disciple, "What happened?" After speaking, he followed the disciple's line of sight and glanced at the high place ahead and above.

The disciple turned his upturned head back: "We found a dead body hanging from that tree, and wanted to put him down, but the uncle wouldn't let us move."

Xie Yu looked at the black figure hanging from the tree branch, "It's right not to move."

"Why?" The disciple was puzzled.

Xie Yulue murmured: "This should be a custom among young people. People who die unjustly often hang themselves with curses on their bodies to prevent others from disturbing their peace. Whoever touches them will curse."

At this moment, Min Qingxian walked over holding a torch: "It's really bad luck, Mr. Xie." He asked Xie Yu, "Look, should we turn around?"

Xie Yu thought about it for a while, the road in the forest was difficult, and they had entered the forest very deep, if they turned around, they would have to walk a lot more, so he said: "There is no need to turn around, just go around."

"Okay." Min Qingxian nodded in agreement, and did not forget to add another sentence: "Actually, I think so too."

At this time, the car door behind him slammed, and Tang Yushui opened a crack in the door, revealing half of his face: "Da Yu, Fu Fu asked me to ask what's going on outside."

Xie Yu turned his head: "Don't worry about this, close the doors and windows, and don't come out unless I tell you."

"Oh." Tang Yushui obediently agreed, and asked before closing the door: "Big fish, is there any danger?"

"Maybe there will be, so be good."

"Oh, I understand." Tang Yushui obediently agreed, and closed the door carefully.

Min Qingxian watched Xie Yu finish telling Tang Yushui, and sighed with emotion: "What happened today is indeed a bit evil!" He had just finished sighing, when he saw the black shadow of the human figure on the tree that had been motionless, suddenly twitched one time.

Everyone was stunned.

Visible to the naked eye, the black shadow struggled violently like this.

Everyone couldn't help exclaiming: "Uncle Shi, that person is not dead. Do you want to save him?"

Before Min Qingxian could speak, Xie Yu's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Everyone, don't move!"

While speaking, he saw a white chain flying out of his hand, splitting the thick fog in an instant, cutting off the rope hanging from the black shadow, and the black shadow fell in response to the sound, and was supported by the spiritual energy released by Xie Yu, falling steadily on the ground.

"Everyone, don't go forward," Min Qingxian reacted at this moment: "Look and see." He said so, and walked to the front of the team with a torch.

Xie Yu had good eyesight. He retracted his sword, stood on the shaft of the chariot, and stared at the place where the black shadow landed. The people standing in front of the team also looked at the black shadow with bated breath.

But after the black shadow fell to the ground, the movements that were originally struggling suddenly stopped suddenly, and everyone waited with bated breath... Just when everyone thought it was too late to save people, they saw the motionless black shadow, suddenly came back again. twisted violently.

However, this time, the black shadow twisted very strangely.

It is obviously in the shape of a human being, but it can be as if boneless. The arms and legs are twisted into waves or circular arcs. It folds and struggles crazily, flexing and bending on the ground. Everyone looked at the weird and terrifying figure. A thick layer of goosebumps could not be suppressed one after another.

Someone couldn't help but screamed and quickly backed away.

But at this moment, I don't know if it was affected by the scream, the thing that was twisting wildly like a wave stabbed and burrowed into the ground in the blink of an eye.

Everyone waited stiffly for a moment, but the thing didn't appear again.

Min Qingxian didn't delay any longer, and immediately decided to change lanes. Immediately, everyone turned around, and the back of the team changed to the front. As if being urged, they retreated quickly with a tense atmosphere.

Xie Yu instructed the disciples whose back road became the front road to follow the mark he had drawn before, but they couldn't see the mark as they walked.There was a sudden panic in front of the team, "What's wrong?" Xie Yu raised his voice and asked.

"I can't find the mark." The leading disciple replied in a panic.

"Calm down, everyone, don't panic. Look carefully again. If you really can't find it, just go in one direction and don't go astray." Xie Yu's spiritual power was used to his throat, and he ordered quietly.

Xie Yu's voice seemed to have an infectious power. When everyone heard his calm voice, the tension in their hearts was suppressed a little.

The atmosphere of the team slowly returned to a little more natural, and they slowed down their hasty pace a little... However, after walking for a long time, they didn't go out... Moreover, they always seemed to be able to feel that the surrounding In the dense fog, there seems to be something perched on the high branches all around, but when you suddenly raise your head, you can't see it... only a pair of invisible eyes, hidden in secret. In the dark, among the knotted branches, quietly watching and watching.

There seemed to be a baby crying in my ears again. This cry appeared and disappeared, and it was indistinct, mixed with human whispers. When these sounds disappeared, only the soft "hee hee" and "haha" sound remained .

In such a strange environment, Min Qingxian asked his disciples to be on guard all the way, and to draw out their swords and hold them in their hands, so as to be on guard against unexpected situations that may arise at any time.

The disciple who was in charge of guarding Liao Baizhuo and Liao Baizhuo was walking beside them with his arms folded. He listened to the faint voices around him and looked up and down from time to time, but when he turned his head again, he found that the two The two cubs stopped again, and looked at the ground together.The disciple gritted his teeth: After the experience just now, he felt that as long as these two bastards raised or lowered their heads, something bad would definitely appear. The uncle suspected that they had bumped into something evil.The disciple felt that the master uncle seemed to be right in his suspicions.
