Abandoned Immortals

In the end, the boy could only take them to Xishi Village first.

He originally had the idea of ​​leading the way casually and leaving after taking the money, but now because Que Qingyun bargained too hard, if he didn't make this trip, he would only get a copper coin, and if he didn't get the one or two silver coins later, he would be nothing at all. return.

The young man walked in front bitterly, scolding Que Qingyun countless times in his heart, saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is, the woman's heart is pierced, and all the words he can think of pass through his mind.

Although he was reluctant, he needed the money, so no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only swallow it and swallow it in his stomach.

As for the purpose of these two beautiful sisters inquiring about Xishi Village, it has nothing to do with him. He only earns the guide money and leaves immediately when he arrives.

Walking out of the village, he walked into a remote and deserted path, and suddenly he heard the girl in red dress behind him calling him, asking, "Do you know what happened in Xishi Village? Why do people here keep such secrets about Xishi Village?"

The young man remained silent.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lian added another sentence: "This is another price."

The young man who saw Qian's eyes opened his eyes really turned around, looked around Yu Lian's smiling face, and then said, "Because Xishi Village is gone."

"What?" Que Qingyun frowned.

"Everyone in the village was killed, and the whole village was burned to the ground." The young man said this with a very cold voice, "Now you go there, there is no one there, only ruins are left."

He stopped suddenly, with a serious expression on his childish face: "If you think about it, I can take you there, but there are so many dead people there, it's so evil, I can only send you to nearby."

Que Qingyun also stopped and smiled lightly upon hearing this.

Even if the cold woman just softened her eyes, it was enough to make people's hearts flutter, not to mention that Que Qingyun smiled at him.

The young man had never seen such stunning beauty before, and he froze in place, his eyes straightened.

Que Qingyun flipped her wrist, and she held a silver ingot in her hand, and threw it towards the boy, who caught it in a hurry, and could feel the weight when holding it with both hands.

He hadn't seen such a complete large silver ingot for many years, one ingot was 20 taels, he was so startled that he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes stuck to the silver ingot, unable to tear it off.

"You just need to tell us how to get there, and tell us everything you know. This silver ingot is yours."

The short-lived smile on Que Qingyun's face faded away, returning to a deserted appearance.

The young man was awakened by her voice, and hastily put the silver ingot into his arms, as if afraid that someone would snatch it from him, he said loudly: "I will definitely tell you everything I know!"

But Yu Lianxin said at this moment: "It's inconvenient to speak here."

After saying that, there was a buzzing sound, and the space of the ten-foot room was shrouded in a dark red barrier, separating the inside and the outside.

Seeing this, the young man was stunned, looking around, there was nothing but silence, not even the sound of birds and insects.

There was a wind blowing in the forest, and he could see the branches shaking, but the branches and leaves were caressing, but everything was silent and silent.

The secret realm of the Mirror Illusion enveloped the surrounding fields, so Yu Lianxin said: "You can talk about it."

The boy's throat rolled, and the forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

He belatedly realized that the two people in front of him might have great identities, and he actually wanted to earn money from them!

"This...then..." For a while, his mind went blank, the young man stammered, and finally opened his mouth, "As for Mr. Yan, as I said just now, the accident in Xishi Village should be related to Mr. Yan's family .”

Que Qingyun's face was stern, and he asked: "How do you say it?"

The boy's chest rose and fell, he took a deep breath, and then slowly told what he knew.

He did study in Yan Chengyue's study, but he was not a student of the study, and he didn't live in Xishi Village.

However, there is an elder sister in his family who married a scholar in Xishi Village, and his brother-in-law is studying in the study.

He occasionally passed by Xishi Village to visit his sister's house, and sometimes he would go to the study and listen to Mr. Yan's lectures lying outside the fence.

The young man said that the old Mr. Yan in the study had a son with disabled legs. The wife there passed away unfortunately, leaving behind a granddaughter who was also lost during the war, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

When it comes to other people's misery, the young man's eyes are full of sorrow.

He said that one day, a group of bandits came to Xishi Village.

That day the young man happened to be catching crickets in the backyard of his study, and when he heard movement in front of him, he looked outside through the crack of the door.

Seeing that Mr. Yan didn't change his expression when facing many bandits alone, the bandit was extremely arrogant and asked Mr. Yan and his son to hand over a treasure by name, otherwise they would take their lives.

"The bandit actually said that Mr. Yan's son, the lame man who sat in a wheelchair all day long, was the last emperor of the previous dynasty!" The young man became emotional when he said this, and he still finds it unbelievable.

Upon hearing the news, the entire Xishi Village was shocked.

Old Mr. Yan would naturally not admit it, but the bandits refused to give up, and randomly took two people as hostages in the village, threatening Yan Chengyue that if they didn't hand over the treasure, those innocent villagers would die because of them.

On weekdays, the mild-mannered and uncontested Mr. Yan was enraged by bandits, and suddenly showed his might. He killed a small group of bandits who broke into Xishi Village, and then left with Yan Wenyu and disappeared from sight. .

I thought this matter would be over here, but unexpectedly, not long after, another group of people broke into Xishi Village and started killing without explanation, slaughtering Xishi Village completely, and burning the corpses clean.

If the boy's elder sister hadn't stayed in Xishi Village that day when she went back to her natal family to visit her relatives, she would have lost her life.

Although the elder sister survived, the brother-in-law died in Xishi Village, and his body was never found.

The teenager's sister was so sad that she couldn't get sick.

Their family was not well-to-do, and their sister was even more destitute after she fell ill. The young man ran out alone, regardless of his parents' obstruction, and tried every means to make money to treat his sister's illness.

The people in the nearby villages dare not mention Xishi Village, for fear of avoiding it, and of course they are afraid of getting killed.

The young man told him everything he knew, and insisted on taking Que Qingyun and the two of them there when he was about to arrive.

But he was really afraid, and he didn't dare to go too close, and he stopped when he was three miles away from Xishi Village.

He raised his arms, and pointed out the way to the master and apprentice, telling them to walk along the path and pass an abandoned wooden bridge.

"The river under the bridge is not deep. You can wade across it. After crossing the bridge, you can see the big rock at the entrance of Xishi Village."

After the boy finished speaking, he didn't stay here for a long time, and trotted away along the way he came.

After the figure of the young man disappeared between the shadows of the trees, the master and apprentice moved forward again.

"What he said should be true." Que Qingyun judged.

Yu Lian nodded in agreement, but seeing the lifeless village at the end of the road, she sighed helplessly:

"I don't know who instigated those mountain bandits, and what were the identities of those mysterious people who later slaughtered the village? Why did they kill the villagers of Xishi Village?"

Que Qingyun didn't answer, but said, "Go to the village and have a look."

Not long after, the two passed the abandoned wooden bridge mentioned by the boy, and after crossing the bridge, they saw the stone at the entrance of Xishi Village.

The stone was about a person's height, and its surface was burnt black by the raging fire. Half of the stone was broken, and the word "xi" could only be discerned vaguely engraved on the stone.

The two masters and apprentices walked into the village side by side, and there was a faint smell of burnt oncoming. Even though the village was destroyed several years ago, the smell of murder still hasn't completely dissipated.

Before taking a few steps, Yu Lian said suddenly, "That's not right."

Que Qingyun stopped and responded to her: "Why is it wrong?"

Yu Lian's eyelids trembled, and she sensed it carefully, and then her eyes sharpened, and she asserted: "This place is indeed weird."

In terms of their identities, Que Qingyun is the elder, but now that the two are cultivated, it is Yu Lian who is superior.

Yu Lian said that this place is weird, and there must be some basis for it.

As soon as she raised her hand, golden vines burst out of the ground, and the Mirror Void Secret Realm enveloped the entire dilapidated village at the same time.

All of a sudden, the seemingly peaceful ruins blew violently, and gusts of black air surged up from under the ruined walls turned up by golden and red vines. The black air circled into the sky, gathered in the void several feet high, and finally condensed into a cloud. animal shadow.

"It's a demon." Yu Lian squinted her eyes halfway, and a sharp cold light flashed across her eyes.

The situation became more and more complicated and confusing, and the change in Xishi Village was actually related to the Yaozu again.

The cold and sharp sword light flew across the sky like lightning, Que Qingyun had already risen with the sword, and the sword formation filled the sky, shooting out like raindrops, disrupting the animal shadows that had just gathered into shape in an instant.

This monster was cultivated in the divine realm, and cultivated by devouring the anger of the living. Ordinary people would be easily bewitched by it when they were nearby, but in the eyes of Que Qingyun and his disciples, it was not enough.

The black mist scattered in all directions, and Que Qingyun raised an object in the shadow of the mist with a pick of his sword.

As soon as the jingle bells rang, a string of silver bells hung from the tip of Que Qingyun's sword, and the bursts of evil energy were seeping out of the silver bells.

Yu Lian looked at the pair of small bells in front of the sword tip in surprise: "What is this?"

Que Qingyun is well-informed, and he recognized it at a glance: "One of the magic tools used by the Yinhun sect to summon souls."

"Introducing Soul Sect?!" Yu Lian felt unlucky in her heart.

The bell pointed to the Soul-Inducing Sect who had a grudge with the Yan Clan's royal family back then, and it circled back and forth, and the clue went back to Quyang.

Since this object was left in Xishi Village, it means that the person who massacred the people of Xishi Village was most likely from the Yinyin Sect, and this account has to be settled by looking for the people of the Yinhunzong.

The bell contains a very strong demonic energy, which can be used as an ironclad proof of the collusion between the soul-inducing sect and the demon clan.
