Lu Xun slept for more than an hour, full of energy, even in a better mood, and still had the leisure to tease the little fox from the air.

With round eyes, the little fox blinked at Lu Xun, extremely excited. If Pei Yu hadn't hugged him tightly, the little fox would have planned to run into Lu Xun's arms.

Approaching Jiangke Town, Lu Xun yelled to stop.

"Just leave me here."

Su Qingheng didn't ask much, and controlled the falling of the fairy sword. At a place not too high from the ground, Lu Xun jumped directly, and the mountain road was covered with thick snow. When he jumped down, the snow under Lu Xun's feet sank a little.

Su Qingheng also jumped, Pei Yu saw it, and controlled the fairy sword to descend slowly.

"You want to walk?" Pei Yu didn't quite understand, "It's still a short distance from Jiangke Town. Are you waking up and want to take a walk?"

It's icy, wet and slippery, who wants to slip in the snow?

Lu Xun didn't want to pay attention to Pei Yu.

However, when his gaze turned to Su Qingheng, Su Qingheng was withdrawing his sword, and it seemed that he had the same idea as Pei Yu.

Lu Xun: "..."

"Go with your swords, I'll walk. When you get to the town, pretend not to know him." Seeing the two of them looking at him in unison, their faces full of puzzlement, Lu Xun explained again. "The townspeople are already on guard against you, and you won't be able to ask anything if you go today."

Pei Yu immediately said, "But if you're an outsider, they might tell you everything."

Lu Xun looked at Pei Yu and smiled, "How is it impossible?"

Seeing him like this, Pei Yu knew that Lu Xun had another idea.Lu Xun is always like this, saying a little bit and keeping a little bit, arousing the curiosity of others, but never making it clear.

However, they still followed Lu Xun's words and left with Yujian, leaving Lu Xun alone on the mountain road.

When Lu Xun walked to Jiangke Town with "extraordinary difficulty", he saw Su Qingheng and Pei Yu being driven away by the townspeople.

"Walk around and say that you don't need to come again. What does our life and death have to do with you?"

"Aren't you annoying? You come to the town every day to disturb our peaceful life. I would like to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Our town is protected by the mountain god, so there is no possibility of natural disasters, you guys leave quickly, or we will be rude."

Lu Xun was panicked on the face, but he watched the farce with great interest in his heart.

"who are you?"

A rough-looking townsman saw the inconspicuous Lu Xun standing beside him like a weak willow supporting the wind.

The townspeople who were driving away Su Qingheng and Pei Yu also turned their heads to look over.

Su Qingheng was tall and was already conspicuous in the crowd. His eyes skipped over the townspeople surrounding him and landed on Lu Xun, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Lu Xun picked up a branch from the side of the mountain road and used it as a walking stick. He changed into white clothes and carried a bundle on his back. The hem and back of the clothes were stained with snow. kind.

Pei Yu on the side watched for a few moments before realizing that it was Lu Xun.

Lu Xun actually changed his face.

Not only the face, but even the clothes on his body were changed, and he was specially dressed as a scholar. He looked weak, and his clothes were a little bit of a mess, looking innocent and pitiful.

"I, I'm here to visit relatives."

Lu Xun hid back for a while, as if he was frightened by the townspeople's ferocious tone, he was silent for a moment, pulled his clothes, summoned up his courage, and asked, "Excuse me, is this Yunxi Town?"

"What Yunxi Town, this..."

Before the irritable townsman could finish his sentence, he was snatched away by another middle-aged woman in a turban, "Who is this little brother looking for?"

"I've come to join my uncle."

"Just you?" Another townsman took the call and asked him.

Lu Xun nodded, and asked timidly, "Please, is this Yunxi Town?"

"This is called Jiangke Town." A young woman answered him.

Lu Xun immediately turned pale and opened his mouth. "So it's not Yunxi Town?"

"I... But, just now when I was asking for directions at the foot of the mountain, someone told me that Yunxi Town is the way up the mountain." Lu Xun's fair face was full of anxiety.

The originally vicious townsman suddenly asked, "That man is wearing coarse clothes and has a beard?"

Lu Xun was taken aback by his question, forgot to worry, and asked blankly, "How do you know?"

Pei Yu's eyes widened. Lu Xun had never seen a man with a beard. They rode the fairy sword and landed on the mountainside.

But Lu Xun's appearance was too deceptive, and the townspeople naturally didn't feel that Lu Xun was lying with the slightly embarrassing clothes on his body.

"The bearded man you mentioned is from our town. There is a market down the mountain these days, and he goes down the mountain to sell radishes."

The townspeople put away their hostility, and their tone softened a lot, but his appearance was rough. Lu Xun glanced at him, as if he was frightened, and quickly lowered his head.

"The road he pointed you to is not wrong. Jiangke Town was originally called Yunxi Town."

"what?"

Lu Xun forgot to be afraid for a while, he blinked blankly, then became happy belatedly, and said in a slightly innocent tone.

"Great! Then I found the right place."

Several other townspeople looked at each other, and finally looked at Lu Xun with a bit of sympathy in their eyes.

The rough-looking townsman nodded, and the woman in the turban stepped forward and asked gently, "Can you tell us your uncle's name, and we can help you find it."

As they talked, they suddenly became enthusiastic and greeted Lu Xun to walk into the town.

"The road up the mountain is difficult, isn't it? It's hard for you. You look like a student, right?"

Lu Xun nodded slightly, and someone picked up his words immediately.

"I said, it doesn't look like it can work."

"Brother, don't mind. We are all vulgar people. There have never been scholars in this town. Where did your family go? Why did you come here to join your uncle?"

A group of people surrounded Lu Xun and led him into the town. Pei Yu also wanted to follow, but was stopped by several tall townspeople.

"If you practice your way, can you leave our town alone? Go away!"

Pei Yu wanted to refute, but was pulled by Su Qingheng, shook his head at him, turned and left.

Several townspeople stood at the door and left after seeing Su Qingheng and Pei Yu go far away.

"They are too guarded against us, and they will sneak in later to have a look."

Rao even Pei Yu also discovered the weirdness.

"They seem to have a bad temper, why are they so warm-hearted towards A Xun?"

"We were only focused on persuading them to leave and ignored many problems." Su Qingheng looked solemn, "Their attitude towards senior brother is too strange."

Su Qingheng observed several townspeople, and when Lu Xun appeared, they were very vigilant at the beginning, especially the rough-looking townspeople. He was disgusted and repulsed when he first saw Lu Xun.

But when he heard that Lu Xun was here to find relatives, his first reaction was to drive him away.Later, a woman wearing a turban stepped forward and told Lu Xun that this was Jiangke Town.

Until Lu Xun made up nonsense and made up a non-existent person to show him the way, the expression of the rough-looking townsfolk immediately changed.

There was a market at the foot of the mountain, with so many people, why did he think it was a road with bearded fingers?

After hearing Lu Xun's affirmative answer, he immediately changed his words.

"Is Jiangke Town really called Yunxi Town?" Pei Yu asked.

"No..." Su Qingheng's expression turned cold, "Yunxi Town is the opposite mountain."

Pei Yu touched the little Linghu's hand for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, "You mean, Yunxi Town exists. And they deliberately let the "weak scholar looking for relatives" think that they found the right place. "

This is worth pondering. Pei Yu originally thought that Lu Xun was just a random place name, but never thought that Yunxi Town really existed, and it was in the opposite mountain.

As the villagers of Jiangke Town on the hill opposite to Yunxi Town, it is impossible not to know that Yunxi Town is on the opposite side, so they did this to coax Lu Xun into Jiangke Town.

Lu Xun's initial plan should have been to pretend to be a poor and helpless scholar, pretend to find relatives, go to the wrong place, and then use the ground to rest on the grounds that he is weak and unable to walk.Unexpectedly, the townspeople had ulterior motives, following Lu Xun's words, they brought Lu Xun into the town.

If a scholar looking for relatives really appeared here, what would they want to do?

This town is really weird, not so much a town, but more like a village.The town is small and sparsely populated.Moreover, the grades of the townspeople are too old, only the woman wearing a headscarf looks a little younger, but she also looks in her thirties.

There is not even a young man?

Several people took Lu Xun to the home of the patriarch. The patriarch was an old man in his 70s and [-]s, skinny and thin with white hair.

He sat calmly, listening to the townspeople say things he couldn't understand. The patriarch heard a few people's words, and a pair of dim and muddy eyes slowly turned around and lighted up slightly.

Lu Xun pretended not to notice, and smiled shyly at the gazes of the previous few people.

The patriarch walked up to him on crutches, his voice hoarse and sharp.

"Are you here to visit relatives?"

Nodding his head, the patriarch said again, "What's your uncle's name?"

Lu Xun made up a name casually, and the patriarch's eyes widened when he heard that, then he lowered his head and sighed.

"Your uncle...he's dead."

As soon as the patriarch's words fell, several other townspeople also pretended to be very sad.

"Condolences..."

Meeting a group of townspeople who are so good at acting, Lu Xun was not to be outdone, wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, sobbed softly, crying about his uncle who didn't exist.

The woman in the hood looked at him lovingly. "Are you seventeen this year?"

Lu Xun's appearance is too outstanding, so he can only deliberately change his appearance to make himself less noticeable. He is dressed as a scholar and looks timid. He should look like a ignorant idiot who only knows how to study. .

"Just turned seventeen..."

"What's your name?"

"The road is far..."

"Good boy..." the woman asked, "Did you come to visit relatives because you are homeless?"

"I studied hard for 13 years, and I went to the capital as far away as possible. I wanted to gain fame and give my parents a stable home. Who would have thought that if I accidentally failed the exam, I would be ashamed of my parents and dare not return to my family."

Lu Xun read a lot of words, so he just opened his mouth. He had a simple face, and the townspeople believed everything he said.

"After I figured it out, I was going home to plead guilty, but I ran into a robber on the way. I am a poor scholar, how can I have any money? My parents borrowed money to go to the capital. Sell ​​me to be a coolie, unfortunately I can't bear shoulders, can't lift my hands. The employer looks down on me and is unwilling to lose money, so he sold me to the land of fireworks."

As Lu Xun spoke, he raised his hand again to pretend to wipe his tears, showing shame, his words were agitated, and his tone was sad and indignant.

"But I don't want to be depraved, and after all the hard work, I finally escaped from the place of fireworks."

Everyone's attention has been completely attracted by Lu Xun's experience, only to hear Lu Xun sigh, his tone suddenly changed, inexplicably sad.

"When I hurried back home, my parents had... both passed away."

As he spoke, Lu Xun pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears.

"Being heartbroken, I thought of my uncle who was far away. After burying my parents, I traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and finally found them here."

After everyone sighed, the woman sighed, "Since you are homeless, you should stay here."

"Yes, yes." Several townspeople echoed.

"Look at you too. There are not many people in our town. If you want to live here, everyone will take care of you."

"Thank you, thank you."

Lu Xun's status as a poor scholar and unaccompanied little boy was recognized by everyone.

Then, he wanted to walk around on the grounds that he wanted to get familiar with the town.

"Need someone to take you?"

Lu Xun shook his head, "Thank you very much for your willingness to take me in. Don't bother, I'll just go shopping by myself."

Successfully out of everyone's sight, Lu Xun blatantly wandered around the town, as he saw along the way, these townspeople were almost fifty years old.

Why do you have no children?

Lu Xun was walking, passing a forest, suddenly his arm was pulled, and he felt a familiar breath.

It was Su Qingheng.

But there was no one in the woods, so Lu Xun guessed the spell to hide his figure at once.

The spell was naturally made by Gu Yunzhou, but it was originally thought up by Pei Yu, who is good at making pills.

One morning class, Pei Yu read the script in class and was taken away.But halfway through the plot, Pei Yu felt uncomfortable if he didn't finish watching, so he wanted to steal the script, but was afraid of being discovered by other disciples.

On a sudden whim, it took a few days to develop a pill that hides the body shape. When taking a bath, dissolve the pill in water to hide the body shape.It's easy to use, but...

He could only hide his physical body, that is, if Pei Yu put on clothes, although he could not see his physical body, he could still see the clothes he was wearing.

Even if others couldn't see him, Pei Yu couldn't go out naked.So he wore black clothes, trying to hide himself in the night.

In the end, after hiding around, the night watch disciples still found out. Looking at the black clothes that could walk by themselves and open and close doors, the night watch disciples were frightened and fainted on the spot.

So, the matter was brought to light.

As expected, Pei Yu was punished.

Within a few days, Gu Yunzhou followed Pei Yu's idea and made an invisibility talisman, which was much more convenient than Pei Yu's elixir. He didn't need to take a bath or be naked.

At that time, Pei Yu was quite unconvinced, and dragged Lu Xun to complain for a long time, saying that Gu Yunzhou was mocking him.

So, where did this invisibility talisman come from?

Lu Xun was taken to a slightly remote place by the two, and Su Qingheng specially set up a Taoist formation to isolate him from the outside world.

"How? What did you find?"

"I'm a poor scholar, what can they plan for me?" Lu Xun asked back.

"Picture you..." Pei Yu replied without thinking, "Their town is not rich, but they are not poor, and they don't like to go out, so it's useless to ask for money."

Su Qingheng frowned, "Perhaps, we should go into the mountains."

Lu Xun shook his head, "I don't need to go into the mountains, I already know about it."

Pei Yu glanced at him in surprise, "What are they trying to do?"

"Worship the mountain god..."

"What does that have to do with you? You don't believe in mountain gods." Pei Yu scratched his head, not understanding the connection.

"Yes!" Lu Xun chuckled, "Take me as a sacrifice to the mountain god..."

"what?"

Pei Yu looked at Lu Xun in disbelief, "Sacrificing a living person? What's the point?"

"Then if you didn't show up, wouldn't they..."

"Yes..." Lu Xun gave him an affirmative answer, "If I don't show up, they will choose people from the town."

"This is too scary? Believe in mountain gods and sacrifice living people? Has no one questioned this inheritance?"

Lu Xun asked, "What if all those who questioned were sacrificed?"

Then no one dares to question it.

Not only Pei Yu, but even Su Qingheng's chest heaved for a while. Su Qingheng hated the demon clan. The actions of these townspeople are no different from the greedy demon clan. They are all harmful.

Jiangke Town has never had snow from last night to today, but the heavy snow of the past few days has not yet melted, and it is still icy and snowy.

Now, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky again, one after another.

"What are you going to do?"

"Since Jiangke Town is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanshan faction, the practice of "sacrificing living people" has never been discovered. It is because the terrain here is dangerous and isolated from the world. If anything happens, except for the people in the town, no one will go there. rumored. "

If Fu Hengxue hadn't figured out that there would be a snow disaster here, they wouldn't have stepped in here, and they wouldn't have found out what was wrong.

"Before, the townspeople said that there is a tradition of worshiping mountain gods here, so you can't leave on New Year's Eve. This sentence may not be true."

"Didn't you say that they sacrificed living people? Why is it not necessarily true?" Pei Yu was confused.

"What I mean is that it is true to sacrifice a living person, but it may not be a tradition."

Lu Xun squinted his eyes halfway. If someone pretends to be a god, pretends to be a mountain god, and when the townspeople are unwilling to sacrifice, he will punish the townspeople in a small way, let them know that the mountain god really exists, or make them think that the mountain god will die because of anger. Disaster.

In order not to affect themselves, the townspeople will definitely choose to use the lives of others to protect themselves.

"If you want to catch the person behind the incident, you may have to stay in the town for a few more days."

Suddenly, Su Qingheng frowned, his face turned pale, his fists were clenched all the time, as if trying to restrain something, he suppressed the emotions in his heart, calmed down for a while, and then spoke.

"It's the Demon Race..."

Lu Xun looked at him in surprise, "There is no demonic energy in the town, and it seems that there are no strangers, why do you think it is a demon race?"

But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. The demons pursue strength, but they are unwilling to practice down-to-earth. They like to opportunistically and don't care about human life.They study forbidden techniques or formations to improve their own strength.

only……

There is no trace of the demons here, why can Su Qingheng conclude that it is the demons?

"I smell the breath, it's now."

Both Pei Yu and Lu Xun looked at him. Su Qingheng calmed down and explained, "We can hide our body with the invisibility talisman, and the demons can also hide their breath in the same way. But I can sense it."

Lu Xun and Pei Yu couldn't sense the devil's energy, not because of their lack of cultivation, but because their perception was not as sharp as Su Qingheng's.Pei Yu still didn't understand why Su Qingheng had such a strange feeling, but Lu Xun did.

Su Qingheng's spiritual root is special, he can cultivate both demonic ways, even if he is constantly demonic, but to him, sensing demonic energy is as natural as ordinary people breathing in and out.

"Then why didn't you perceive it before?"

Lu Xun remembered that Su Qingheng and Pei Yu had been in this town for several days, but they didn't notice it?

"This..." Pei Yu coughed lightly, "Can I say that we haven't stepped into the town these days?"

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows to look at him, and Pei Yu said, "They are too hostile to outsiders, and they won't let us in at all. Although we can force our way in, it's unnecessary. At first, we only thought they were here to persuade them to leave temporarily."

"No, even outside the town, I can sense the devilish energy in the town. But there was no devilish energy a few days ago."

That's why it just appeared today, because the day of sacrifice is approaching?

"Strange, where did that little nerd go?"

"I clearly saw him walking into the woods."

A few voices came, and Su Qingheng immediately stopped the spell, and continued to stick the invisibility talisman with Pei Yu.

Lu Xun pretended to be lost, turned left and right in the forest, deliberately slowed down his pace, and when the two approached, Lu Xun walked out from behind the tree in a daze on purpose, and bumped into the two people head-on. Staggered, took a few steps back.

"Lu Yuan, are you here? Tell us to find it easily..."

"I'm sorry, I'm lost. There are many twists and turns here, and I can't tell the way."

"It's okay, it's okay." The man waved his hands again and again, "It's already noon, we're here to ask you to eat."

After Lu Xun followed the two, Su Qingheng and Pei Yu showed up.

"How many days shall we live in this town?"

Su Qingheng nodded, "Brother, I don't worry about being alone."

"Tsk. I'm not worried, but we are here, so the demons dare to show up?"

Su Qingheng: "Then I would like to trouble Senior Brother Pei to ask for a few more invisibility charms when I go back to the teacher's door."

They can restrain their breath, but they don't have invisibility charms, so they can't hide their bodies.

Pei Yu: "Why didn't you go?"

"My cultivation is higher than senior brother Pei's. It's dangerous here. If something happens suddenly, I can protect senior brother here."

Although he was reluctant, Su Qingheng was right, he was a alchemist, majoring in medical skills, if something happened suddenly, Su Qingheng would indeed help Lu Xun more than him.

Pei Yu summoned the Immortal Sword and was about to leave when Su Qingheng asked a non-critical question.

"Is the sword tassel on your fairy sword a gift from senior brother?"

Pei Yu: "?"

"The defensive sword spike is indeed suitable for you."

"In the future, when senior brother asks me to pick out fairy artifacts and magic weapons, I will pay more attention to some defensive immortal artifacts for Senior Brother Pei."

Pei Yu: "..."

OK, he got it.

Su Qingheng is remembering grudges, and what he remembers is still several years ago!

"No, I was teasing you before, why are you so serious."

Pei Yu glared at him, and said again: "And I'm telling the truth, Axun used to get any treasures, and I always let me pick first."

"Well, in the past." Su Qingheng responded lightly, and said, "Now I choose first."

Pei Yu: "..."

I always thought that Su Qingheng didn't care, but it turned out that he was waiting for him here!

Pei Yu was in a complicated mood. When he lowered his head, he saw a small wilting grass sprouting from the thick snow-covered ground, expressing his current mood accurately.
