Weicheng snow

Shen Yi already knew the identity of the visitor, but it was too late to do anything since the chess piece was released, so she could only stare in horror at Hua Shenchi who was standing by the curtain and stopped moving, and said softly, "Well, senior brother, I am not on purpose......"

Hua Shenchi didn't say anything, Yi Qingchen hurriedly said, "Where are you meeting?"

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Ruhui's bed, showing the same very puzzled expression, the female disciples in the tent looked at me and looked at you, but they didn't know.

Yi Qingchen felt uneasy, ran out of the tent, walked a few steps, went back and grabbed Hua Shenchi's wrist, took it with him and ran to the intersection, and asked while running, "Do you have a way to control the miasma?"

Although Hua Chenchi breathes very slowly and he is not afraid of poison, once the former inhales toxin for a long time, he will still be poisoned like ordinary people. Elevated body temperature, fever, and then fainting and falling asleep are also very troublesome symptoms, so it is still possible to prevent them.

Hua Shenchi let go of Yi Qingchen and grabbed his hand, took out a bottle of medicine from the inner lining, and shared food with Yi Qingchen, "The unfinished anti-drug pill, but it is enough to last for half a day."

The two took the medicine together, and were about to enter the forest, Shen Yi chased up from behind and asked, "What if she enters the forest?"

Yi Qingchen shook his head, "I don't know...not sure."

Shen Yi said, "I want to go in too."

Hua Shenchi said indifferently, "You are the second senior sister, stay here to take care of those poisoned juniors and juniors. Also, be careful of moths and swallowtails near the camp..."

Hua Shenchi's voice was not loud, but it sounded full of coldness and majesty. Shen Yi didn't dare to disobey, so she had to take two steps back and said dejectedly, "Okay."

Yi Qingchen comforted Shen Yi helplessly, before leading Hua Shenchi into the forest.

The further you go in, the more turbid the air is, and the softer the ground under your feet. Yi Qingchen followed the footprints to a wolf-shaped stone statue, squatting like a wolf, and stepped on a golden ball. There was a fork in front of him. The footprints were going to The one on the left, Yi Qingchen thought twice, and decided to follow.

After walking a few steps in, I realized that the path on the left could be illuminated by moonlight, and my vision became much clearer, so I extinguished the fire in my hand.

Following the moonlight and walking for another cup of tea, I actually walked into a circular world.

There is a lake here, the lake is full of moonlight, shining brightly, the trees are arched inward, forming a canopy, mushrooms and shrubs of various colors grow under the trees, and the shrubs bear berries.

Yi Qingchen walked towards the lake in surprise, looked around, but there was no one there, but there seemed to be a hole behind the curtain hanging down from the vines, and he didn't know how big it was inside, Yi Qingchen didn't dare to act rashly, and was discussing with Hua Shenchi whether to take it or not. Going deep into it, how to go deep without getting lost, a human voice sounded from the cave, "Oh, there are so many distinguished guests tonight."

Yi Qingchen heard the reputation and saw a barefoot woman wrapped in white fur coming out of the cave. Seeing the visitor, she showed a surprised look, "It's a great honor for the two immortals to visit the humble house, but I need the little girl to bring you Want to take a tour?"

Yi Qingchen looked at Hua Shenchi, and immediately understood the current situation. It seemed that the souls of himself and Hua Shenchi made the woman mistakenly think that they were immortals. Looking at the appearance of this woman, it should be Local mountain spirits.I didn't know how to get to his residence, but Ruhui's footprints did lead here, so I asked, "Did you see a woman in black stray into this place tonight?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, "It turns out that the two of you came here to find someone. The man saw it, so he rested in my mansion, and was about to ask the servant to wipe her memory and send her back before dawn. "

Yi Qingchen asked again, "Then did you see anyone else? The one who chased and killed this girl."

The woman was stunned again, she bared her hair immediately, and even stood up the pair of sharp ears on the top of her head, and said angrily, "Ah, of course I saw it, corpses, such disgusting things dare to enter my cave, He was already torn into several pieces and thrown into the depths of the forest."

Yi Qingchen felt that the current situation was a bit inexplicable, so he pretended to be calm and coughed, and continued, "My friend and I visited this place at night, and saw that the evil spirit here is very strong, so we went to the lower world to see that woman was being chased by a monster. , so I followed here. I don’t know what’s going on here? Why is the evil spirit so strong?”

Yi Qingchen didn't know whether the evil spirit was strong or not, but he vaguely felt that it should be heavy. After all, this place was facing the old lair of the Sorcerer Sect, and there were corpses haunting it. Naturally, there was only a little more evil spirit, so he tentatively asked. , I never thought that the woman would really admit it, "Ah... the Xian family is really sharp, since the Xian family's skill is as high as a servant, can you help a group of girls?"

Yi Qingchen pondered for a moment, pretending to be profound and said, "Just tell me."

The woman invited the two of them into the cave, poured tea and burned incense, and said slowly, "The little woman is a local wolf, and she can't see the wild beasts in the forest wantonly slaughtering people, so she established order in the forest and came forward to protect the wrong people." The human beings who entered the forest were enshrined by the local people and became a piece of land."

"Decades ago, a Taoist priest passed by here and said that I was a monster, and he wanted to seal me here and stop harming people. In the end, I lost to the Taoist priest and was sealed here. I was severely wounded and sealed, and the order in the forest was chaotic. At first, those wild beasts only dared to make trouble in the forest, but later they acted recklessly to kill the humans who entered the forest. I was powerless I can only watch those people being bitten to death, and this situation has continued for many years..."

"Then one day I found out that a group of guys called the Marrow Sect came here, using their corpses to act recklessly on this land, making those dirty things, and murdering people. Although I am a land, my believers are gradually losing, and my magic power is weak It seems that we can't protect the land that is too far away, we can only barely protect the safety of that wolf toe village."

"In recent years, I have smelled the smell of corpses even in that village. I hate it so much. Why do I lose the ability to protect them when I lose my faith? Why can't I be born with gods Such a powerful force, why don't they trust me more, I am real..."

"I protected them...how did they forget?"

The more the woman spoke, the more sentimental she became, she finally gritted her teeth, swallowed back her tears, and said lightly in the same clothes, "My fairy, my little girl can smell the smell of two wolves on your body, this smell is very gentle, it has been Protecting you, come to the Xian family to help the wolf clan more than once?"

Yi Qingchen suddenly remembered Xiao Hei he saved in the mass grave, and the little wolf cub he saved in Shilin Village, and said clearly, "I did raise a wolf cub, but after it grew up, it returned to the forest .There is another one that was just rescued by chance, but it’s not actually saved by me, and I didn’t raise it..."

The woman smiled and shook her head, "That's enough..." After a pause, she made her own request, "The Immortal family is so gentle, I hope I can help a group of little girls to eradicate this The calamity in this village does not dare to ask for the entire southern border, but this village is good, and the little girl will be rewarded with treasures, so the immortal family will not suffer."

Yi Qingchen turned his head to look at Hua Shenchi, and was about to ask for the latter's opinion, but unexpectedly, the latter was more airy than himself, closing his eyes, and knocking on the table with his fingers. , ignoring Yi Qingchen's gaze, Yi Qingchen had no choice but to talk to the woman, "How much do you know about the troubles in the village?"

Hearing this, the woman said dejectedly, "The little girl is not very clear about the affairs in the village. The little girl also let the wolves go in to investigate, but they didn't find the source of the evil spirit... Speaking of which, in recent years, this There also seem to be fewer and fewer wolves around..."

Yi Qingchen rubbed his head, and said sadly, "This is a bit tricky, right now the body of the dead man is not here, and there is no clue..."

The woman suggested, "The little girl let the wolves pick up the body again?"

Yi Qingchen nodded, "Okay, take me to see that girl, maybe she can remember the appearance of the corpse."

The woman thought it was reasonable, so she stood up and led the way.

There is a stone screen behind the coffee table, and behind the screen is a deeper cave. The stone walls in the cave are covered with colored glazes, which are full of light, brighter than night pearls.

Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi followed the woman around, and came to a door. A wolf with gray fur was guarding the door. Although it looked very tall, it seemed a bit old-fashioned. The woman walked He went to Gray Wolf, rubbed its head, and said to him, "I brought guests."

The gray wolf wagged its tail like a dog, and gave way to the door, Yi Qingchen followed the woman in, and soon found Ruhui's figure in the dazzling sea of ​​glazed glass.

Hua Shenchi sat on a flat-topped glazed stone pillar, and carefully checked Ruhui's pulse. After a long while, he put Ruhui's arm back under the buckskin quilt, and said, "It's nothing, I just inhaled too much miasma and fainted." After that, take some medicine and rest for a while and you will wake up naturally." Then, he took out the previous anti-drug pill from his sleeve and gave it to Ruhui.

Yi Qingchen and the woman watched silently for a while, the former said first, "If there is nothing wrong, I won't bother you much."

The woman opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but she seemed unable to say anything else, so she had no choice but to smile, "The little girl won't stay anymore, I hope the Xian family can help me with the village's affairs. ...After the matter is completed, the little girl will definitely have a big thank you."

Xie Qingchen didn't really care much about whether to thank him or not, even if he didn't have this thank you gift, for the success of the Southward Expedition, he would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, but the woman looked at him with too much eagerness, full of tears. Yi Qingchen couldn't refuse the expectation, he struggled for a moment, and finally promised the woman, "I will definitely do my best to drive out the monsters in the village."

The woman grinned, showing a reassuring smile, and murmured, "That's great..."

"So I can rest easy..."

The woman and the gray wolf sent the three of them to the fork in the road where the wolf-shaped stone statue was placed. Hua Shenchi took the animal skin bag containing the remaining body parts from the woman, and Yi Qingchen took the Ruhui bag from the gray wolf's back. , carrying it on his back very reluctantly, obviously he was about to lose his footing, but he didn't dare to show his feet in front of the woman easily, so he had to say to the woman, "Go back, we will see you again when things are done."

The woman nodded happily, then rubbed Gray Wolf's head again, "That's great..."

Although the gray wolf wagged its tail, Yi Qingchen noticed that the gray wolf looked at him very sharply, but full of doubts. This wolf is very spiritual.Yi Qingchen has been fond of spiritual animals since he was a child, so even though the wolf looked at him not very friendly, he still praised the woman, "Although this wolf has not learned the Tao, it also understands human nature."

The woman laughed even happier when she heard the words, "That's right, he has been by the little girl's side since the day she became a wolf, and he has been by her side until now..." A puzzled look appeared in an instant, "Until now ...how many years has it been?"

Gray Wolf arched the woman's waist with his head, and the woman stopped thinking about it just now, and waved to Tong Yi Qingchen and the others, "Take care of the fairy family, the little girl is waiting for you here."

Yi Qingchen couldn't wait to bid farewell to him, forcibly steadied his steps, carried the Ruhui back a hundred paces away, and finally found a hiding place, just as he put the Ruhui down against the tree trunk, he sat down on the ground with a thud, pant.

Hua Shenchi took out an emerald-colored porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opened the mouth of the bottle, put it in front of Ruhui's nose, and turned it around. After a while, Ruhui woke up slowly, at first he was a little dazed, and suddenly became vigilant. Man, just now gradually relaxed his body, and said with a mournful face, "Young Master Yi, Elder, I thought I was going to die..."

Yi Qingchen rubbed his sore shoulder and asked, "What did you see?"

Hua Shenchi looked up at the increasingly thick miasma around him, and reminded, "The miasma in the forest is the heaviest before dawn, and it's not a place to talk right now."

After being reminded, the two got up one after another, and didn't care about resting, they just hurried back to the camp together, along the way, Ruhui and Yi Qingchen explained what they saw and heard at night.

Because of being bewitched, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and was extremely sleepy. She covered the quilt and slept until the middle of the night, but was awakened by a rustling sound. She opened her eyes and looked around for the source of the sound. It turned out that it was just a female disciple in the same account who got up at night after drinking too much, and the female disciple went to bed after a while.

But Ruhui, who was awakened by the shock, couldn't sleep anymore. She put on her clothes and wanted to go out to get some air. As soon as she stepped out of the tent, she saw a strange man standing in front of Hua Chenchi's tent.The man was wearing blue dyed cloth clothes that are very common in Miaojiang. The pattern also looks like a wolf. He should be a villager. But the next moment, the man suddenly turned his head and looked at Ruhui, as if he suddenly found his prey. Like a beast, it opened its fangs and rushed towards Ruhui.

Ruhui's first reaction was to use shoes to wake up those disciples who were on guard at night, but those people slept like dead pigs, making her mistakenly think that the entire Lingshan camp had been drugged, since the target of this dead man was herself , I can't drag the sleeping people down.

Without much thought, she immediately led the corpse to escape into the woods. She was a little stunned at the time, she didn't think of the method of leading the corpse to a nearby camp, and forced herself into a dead end. She remembered that before she fell into a coma, He had already been strangled by the corpse man, almost suffocated, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to be lucky, so he was rescued by Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi.

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, then said with a smile, "It's good that you have nothing to do, and keep this matter a secret when you go back, don't startle the snake."

Ruhui nodded, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to Yi Qingchen, "Young master, the village, don't go at night." As he spoke, he showed a look of lingering fear, but he couldn't explain in more detail, Yi Qingchen smiled He didn't say a word, but made up his mind in his heart, he must go to see what's going on in this village at night.
