Uncle Iceberg's Road to Collapse

When Qu Yao heard this, he stopped immediately.

The village is indeed strange.

It was already noon at this time, and it was already time for dinner, but there was no smoke from a house.The entrance of the village is also extremely quiet, until now Qu Yao has not seen a living person.

"Master?" Tranquility Zhou looked at Tantai Lian with doubts in his eyes.

"Go in, remember to be careful." Tantai Lian said in a deep voice.

Qu Yao retreated back, but as soon as he entered the village, Qu Yao suddenly smelled a strange smell.

It was a sweet fragrance, a sweet fragrance mixed with various makeup powders used by women.

"That's the smell." Tantai Lian's eyes were cold and sharp: "When I was in the sky just now, I felt that the smell here was not right. There is a lot of evil mixed in this sweet fragrance, you two have to be careful."

Qu Yao nodded, as for Tantailian, this person's temper is a bit stinky, but this guy's nose is quite useful, when Tantailian was in Penglai, she could smell it from five miles away Qu Yao secretly drank the wine, Qu Yao cast his eyes on the ground in admiration, and bluntly said that his uncle must have been reincarnated as a hunting dog in his previous life.

The three of them were walking in the village, and it turned out that the gates of every house were closed and the shops were not open.This place was originally at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Although the Changbai sect was not built as long as Penglai, it is also a thousand-year-old sect among the immortal sects.What's more, Tianchi Lake is such an unparalleled grand sight in the world, so the chivalrous travelers at the foot of the mountain come and go frequently, and the nearby villages are also prosperous and prosperous because of this. It should never be the scene in front of you.

The roads in this village are wide and flat, and the houses are row upon row. It doesn't look like there is no money, but the scene of empty roads like this is really incredible.

The village was surprisingly quiet, and the three of them felt strange.

The three of Qu Yao walked around the village, but they didn't see a single person on the road, or a family with their doors open.

"Did you get attacked by a demon?" Qu Yao asked with a frown.

"No." Tantai Lian said in a deep voice, "There is no smell of blood in the air. Moreover, there are actually people living in these houses, but the smell is very gentle and weak."

"Gentle and weak?" Tranquility Zhou frowned: "Master, didn't they suffer some kind of injury or someone cast some spell?"

"Probably not." Tantai Lian shook her head and said.

"Then what are they doing?" Qu Yao asked with a frown.

"Should be sleeping."

Qu Yao and Ning Zhou were taken aback at the same time.

Both of them were speechless.

Qu Yao didn't believe in evil, so he found a small wooden hut at random, and put his ears on the door. The five senses of people who practiced immortality and Qi training are more sensitive than ordinary people. When Qu Yao listened carefully, there were indeed bursts of snoring coming from inside...

"It's fine to sleep in broad daylight, why can't the whole village sleep together?! Someone must be awake, right?" Qu Yao was shocked.

As soon as the voice fell, the one who was awake appeared.

I saw the door of a cabin in front of me open with a "squeak" and an old man with his upper body bare came out yawning continuously.The uncle scratched the hair on his chest, closed his eyes and urinated at the bottom of the wall at night, then babbled, ready to go back to his room and continue to sleep...

"Wait!" The trio rushed forward, startling the old man... Qu Yao grabbed the old man and said, "I want to ask, has anything strange happened in your village recently?"

"What's weird?" The uncle was sleepy, and angrily cursed: "You guys stay up late at night and block people's way, that's a weird thing!"

Qu Yao and Ning Zhou looked up at the sky at the same time, their faces hurt from the sun.

"Where did you come from!? What kind of nerve did you commit? I thought it was a robbery!" The uncle pushed Qu Yao's hand away angrily, cursing and going back to sleep, but was stopped by Tantai Lian.

"What do you want to do again..."

The uncle didn't finish asking, but he saw Tantailian's fingers quickly forming seals in the air!Tantai Lian yelled softly: "Scatter!" A burst of golden light flashed, and the knot seal suddenly flew to the uncle's Tianling Gai!The old man trembled, and something gradually appeared on his forehead.

A white paper man.

The paper figurine floated down to the ground, Qu Yao looked at it intently, the paper figurine glowed pale under the strong daylight, and soon ignited spontaneously.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked towards the sky, his expression changed from anger to shock and fear.

The volleying sun and burning paper figurines completely frightened the uncle.

"Illusionary barrier." Tantai Lian said coldly: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of magic directly cast on people in a village. I'm afraid that everyone in this village is under this barrier right now."

"I'll just say it, I'll say it... that's not a good place... Those people are not good people... But no one believes..." The uncle seemed to have been greatly touched, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling. Talk to yourself.

"Don't panic, go into the room and speak slowly." Tantai Lian said softly, a rare soft smile appeared on her lips.

Qu Yao's heart skipped a beat.

"With me waiting, I will protect the people in the village."

Tantailian said softly.

The old man introduced the three of them and one bird into the house, and then carefully closed the door, for fear of being heard by something.

"Old man, just tell me, everything will be fine." Tantai Lian said.

Sitting by the bed, the old man saw that the three of them were all good-looking and immortal, so he finally let go of his guard and confessed everything.

"Our village, called Hengshui Village, is located at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Originally, every family has been farming for generations, and their lives were relatively stable. Until three months ago..." The old man sighed, shook his head, and shared the matter with Qu Yao and the others. .

Three months ago, a building at the head of the village suddenly rose overnight in the village.

The building has an extraordinary layout, but I don't know what it is for, but it looks like a storefront, probably a high-end restaurant or music hall.

The building caused the villagers to stop and watch.Hengshui Village is just a small village, there are few wealthy people, the market is full of the simplest sheds, and there are only a few decent shops in the whole village, but they are blacksmith stoves and pancake shops... There has never been such a shop. Had.What's more, a large three-story stage was set up at the entrance, which is equivalent to suddenly donating a golden Buddha in a small temple in the wilderness.

No one knew what this building was for, not even the builders who built it. All they knew was that the boss behind it was a rich man with a frighteningly large amount of money.

On the day the building was completed, a signboard was finally placed on the upper floor, and the three gold characters "Tingtong Pavilion" were written on it, which caused the onlookers to stop.

Most of the villagers are illiterate, and those who can recite the Three Character Classic are all pedantic figures.No one knew what business was going on in this building, so they all shook their heads and left.But that night, a miracle happened.

As soon as the sun set, the sound of gongs, drums and silk bamboos suddenly came from the street, and two pillars of fireworks exploded in the sky suddenly, and the sky and the ground were all red gold for a while.This is not the New Year or the festival, and the sudden celebration in this way stunned the villagers of Hengshui.Everyone looked in the direction of the sound of gongs and drums, and it was the "Ting Tong Pavilion" that had just opened.

The villagers had just finished their dinner at this time, so they hurried forward to watch the excitement. Three miles away, they saw actors and dancers in fine costumes standing on the big theater stage!The beauty playing the pipa is like a fairy Chang'e, and at the end of the song, thousands of petals fly down from the sky, causing the villagers to applaud repeatedly.The dancer from the Western Regions has a voluptuous figure, and she actually took a plate of gold ingots and sprinkled them down the stage!It made the surrounding villagers exclaim!Afterwards, there was an overnight performance... The cheers were endless. This night, the whole village was sleepless, and even the dogs ran to watch the excitement. Men, women and children gathered around the stage of the Tingtong Pavilion and were shocked by this dazzling performance. , no one noticed something was wrong.

After one night, everyone dragged their tired but excited bodies and went home while talking about the performance. The whole village was attracted, and even the chickens forgot to crow.

The Tingtong Pavilion performed for three consecutive days, and the show became more and more exciting every day.It wasn't until the fourth day that a red notice was posted. The content of the notice was that the Ting Tong Hall wanted to recruit actors, with high salaries and good treatment, but only girls under the age of 19.It is best to have talent, of course, no talent, Tingtong Hall can be responsible for training, and there is also a salary during the training period, and the money given is scary.

For a while, people in the village talked about it.

This sounds like pie in the sky, but pies that are given for nothing are usually poisonous.The performances at Ting Tong Hall are not inferior even in the capital, and every night performance is free and no money is required.Now it is open in this remote countryside, recruiting village women and the like to act as actors, no matter who feels this is a bit strange.

But all the weird things can't bear the first person to eat crabs to break the weirdness.

There is a shrew at the east end of Hengshui Village. Her surname is Chen and her name is Shanhua.Shanhua is eighteen years old this year. She is tall, strong, and powerful. She can eat eight buns and three jars of pickles for a meal. She once fell down after drinking and sat on her butt to death a litter of chicks...More than a man man.

Shanhua's parents looked at her daughter who was picking her feet and belching all day long.In a remote village like this, all the girls got married in the [-]th or [-]th year, but Shanhua is now [-], and no one has proposed marriage so far.Shanhua's father is a carpenter. He was injured by a stone when he was building a house, and he was paralyzed in bed all day long. He was supported by Shanhua's mother and daughter inside and out. There was no male in the family, so life was very difficult.Shanhua's mother was still hoping to quickly find a son-in-law to help with the farm work, but seeing her daughter dying in her hands, Shanhua's parents couldn't help but worry about eating and drinking all day long.

Shanhua knows that she has no good looks, and if she drags on like this, she may not be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life. The family is in such a difficult situation now. In order to treat her father's illness, she has already sold all the belongings that can be sold, and only one old hen is left up.She looked at the red notice, gritted her teeth and went without telling her parents... She didn't go home for three whole days.

Shanhua's parents were in chaos immediately, and the girl, no matter what happened, was raised by a mouthful of feces and urine, and it was a human life after all.Angrily, the old couple rushed to the Tingtong Hall to ask for someone. Before the night performance started, the old couple stood in front of the hall and scolded their mothers.A group of villagers gathered at the door to watch the fun, and someone suggested that they should report to the officials if it was impossible... At this time of chaos, the gate of Tingtong Pavilion opened, and countless singers and dancers walked out slowly in two rows. , and the one in the middle of the two rows of singers is none other than Shanhua who has not returned for three days!

When everyone saw Shanhua again, their eyeballs almost fell to the ground!
