"It should be right here. After that family died, the people in the village held a funeral for that family. A few days later, the whole village was gone, and they didn't even have time to get rid of these white cloths."
Ma Xiangdong walked with a pace that he didn't recognize, and pulled off the white cloth.
Due to long-term weathering, the white cloth was easily torn off.
"Squeak!"
Without warning, the door in front of me slowly opened.
【It's very strange here.】
Su Anlin was just about to go in when he saw the reminder from the Changpi Immortal Sutra.
He paused for a moment. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with him, but his expression and movements revealed wariness.
"Everyone, be careful, there is something weird here."
Su Anlin reminded.
Since the Changpi Immortal Sutra did not elaborate on the problem here, it means that the Changpi Immortal Sutra itself did not understand the problem here.
This is worthy of vigilance.
The door was pushed open and Ma Xiangdong said: "I've been having bad luck lately, and I have an ominous premonition."
Xu Bingshuang frowned: "Don't give up on yourself."
"It's Master, but Master, if I encounter danger later, you have to protect me."
Xu Bingshuang's strength is at the ninth level of inner energy, so she is not weak at all.
However, she couldn't understand this place either.
"Let's talk about it." Xu Bingshuang sighed. She didn't like to promise things she couldn't do.
Ma Xiangdong looked at Xu Bingshuang beside him, his heart already feeling cold.
"Brother Su, please look after me later."
Now, in his opinion, Su Anlin is the strongest one here besides Xu Bingshuang.
This thigh naturally needs to be hugged tightly.
Su Anlin walked into the house. The furnishings inside were very simple. Tables and chairs were scattered and fell to the ground.
The mud walls have peeled off, giving off an air of vicissitudes of life.
Every corner is covered with spider webs and dust deposits.
Su Anlin entered the house, bringing up a burst of dust. He reached out and shook the front of his hand to disperse the dust.
Then, I walked to the next door and looked inside the house.
The room next door was dark, with all the windows sealed shut.
"Ahem!"
Su Anlin coughed, and the sound echoed through the room.
He took a deep breath and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Not only was the inner room dark, but the surrounding areas seemed to be getting dark as well.
The entire originally sunny sky began to darken, as if a huge hand was quickly covering it.
"No, why has it become dark in here?"
"what happened?"
"Don't go far away, everyone, stand together."
Su Anlin quickly came to the yard and looked up at the sky.
Darkness has enveloped this place.
…………
…………
【There is a problem here.】
【Something is wrong here.】
【There is no Yin energy, no spiritual energy, there is a problem, be careful.】
Su Anlin slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that the sun in the sky was dazzling again.
"How is this going?"
He lay on a green grassland, looked at the sky, and sat up.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Su Anlin frowned.
This is...by the river.
This is where he killed three water-drinking goatheads.
He immediately checked his body to see that there was no injury, and then looked to his side.
Chen Ruxuan and Xu Bingshuang both woke up and rubbed their heads. It was obvious that they had fainted just like him.
The other four male disciples also sat up, covering their heads with confusion on their faces.
"Are you all okay?" Su Anlin stood up.
Chen Ruxuan waved her hand: "It's okay, what's going on?"
"We just encountered a darkness, not black fog, but pure darkness, as if someone put out the lights in the dark night." Su Anlin glanced at everyone, stood up and moved around.
"Hey, the village over there is still there, it seems much newer."
Ma Xiangdong said, stretched out his hand and pinched his face, only to feel a lot of pain.
"Why are you pinching yourself?"
The disciples next to me were surprised.
Ma Xiangdong looked serious: "Let me try to see if I'm dreaming. I'm sure it hurts. It's not a dream."
He immediately bared his teeth and rubbed the fat on his face.
"This is strange. There seems to be someone in the village in front."
Su Anlin looked at the people in the village and was stunned.
There are really people.
The originally dilapidated and deserted village suddenly returned to its original state, with people even there.
Moreover, those people actually had blood strips on their heads.
'A living person? How is this possible?'
"Young men, who are you and why do you suddenly appear in our village?"
An old man, carrying a large basket in his right hand and a fishing rod in his left hand, swayed his body and came to Su Anlin and others.
Su Anlin was shocked, he didn't know what happened.
The person in front of me must be an original member of the village, but there is no evil spirit at all.
Is it a shapeshifter?
Su Anlin had the urge to chop.
However, the matter was not clear yet, so he decided to explore it first.
Looking towards Xu Bingshuang, she also nodded slightly, obviously they had the same idea.
"Uncle, where are we?" Xu Bingshuang smiled and was approachable.
"This is Republican Village. You came here on your own, don't you know?"
The old man shook the basket and shook off the dirt on it: "By the way, which sect do you belong to, and why are you here? This place has no village, no shop, and no good medicinal materials, so why are you here?"
"we are…………"
Before Xu Bingshuang finished speaking, the old man stared: "I understand, you are here to investigate the tragic death of the old Liu family, right?"
"Hey, that family of eight died like this..."
Su Anlin continued: "Yes, yes, we are from the Qingtian Sect. The sect asked us to investigate."
This place belongs to the territory managed by the Qingtian Sect. If anything happens on weekdays, the Qingtian Sect will usually send people to investigate.
Of course, for these ordinary people, it's just a formality.
After all, ordinary people's lives are not valuable, and unless it causes a big impact, the sect will not take too much care, and most of them are run by the village chief.
This time they came, which surprised the old man: "It turns out they are disciples of the Qingtian sect. Just come, just come. The old Liu family can be redressed. You must find out the real culprit."
"Tell me carefully what happened?"
Su Anlin thinks this is an opportunity.
He guessed that they should have entered a mysterious space similar to a ghost.
This space took them to before the village was destroyed.
“Who created this space?”
Su Anlin now feels that the world is getting more and more bizarre.
The old man began to tell.
"Hey, twelve days ago, the eight members of the old Liu family were all doing well. Here, we make a living by hunting, farming and fishing."
"Although I'm a little poorer and not many people practice martial arts, my life is still pretty good."
"But two days ago, the daughter of the old Liu family reportedly found something extraordinary. She picked it up outside. After she got it back, the girl hid in the house. Old Liu also told me that it seemed to be a book
Book!"
This is consistent with Su Anlin's previous investigation.
The root of everything should come from a book.
"Twelve days ago, at night, when I came back from fishing, I found that his house had gone to bed early. It was as quiet as a ghost. I heard some noises."
"what sound?"
Ma Xiangdong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little scared.
Su Anlin was a little speechless. This guy was lucky that he was a monk. He was so timid.
"The sound of gnawing bones!"
The village chief said, "That day was quite strange anyway. It got dark very quickly, as if ink had washed down. I later went to bed early."
"After that, ten days passed, and we didn't see this family go out. Then we smelled something wrong, so a few brave young people went in and took a look. Hey, the whole family was there, and they died miserably.
.”
The old man couldn't help but shed tears when he talked about the emotional part.
Su Anlin nodded: "Is it convenient for us to go and have a look?"
"Of course it's convenient. You are disciples of the Qingtian Sect. You are here to investigate. Please, please!"
The old man walked in front and led the way.
Su Anlin and Xu Bingshuang walked together and whispered: "Next, let's take a look at the situation here. I suspect that we have come to a mysterious space similar to ghosts."
"I've never seen anything like this."
"It must not be an accident that we came here suddenly. The mastermind behind the scenes asked us to come."
"What do you mean, continue to investigate?"
Su Anlin said: "This is the purpose of our coming, isn't it?"
Chen Ruxuan on the side was a little surprised. She looked at the surrounding environment and murmured: "This place is just like the real thing!"
As she finished speaking, the breeze blew, bringing her the slightest bit of coolness.
She squinted her eyes comfortably, feeling that this place was like a paradise.
This made her think that this place was real.
I followed the old man into the village and soon arrived at the door of Lao Liu's house.
There are many adults and adults sitting at the door here, and a few children playing at the door.
"he he he he he……"
The children were extremely happy. One child suddenly bumped into Chen Ruxuan.
"Hey young!"
The child touched his forehead.
A woman next to me scolded: "Xiaobao, watch your steps when you walk. I bumped into an immortal and I'm going to beat you!"
The people here are extremely respectful to the disciples of the sect.
It's like a countryman who doesn't even dare to take a look at a high-ranking official from the city.
Chen Ruxuan said indifferently: "It's okay."
"Sister, you are so beautiful." The child laughed timidly when she saw how beautiful Chen Ruxuan was.
"You can ask the child something quietly." Su Anlin whispered beside Chen Ruxuan.
Chen Ruxuan's heart moved, and she pulled the child aside: "Child, look, what is this?"
She took out an ingot of gold.
"Wow! This is gold." The child became excited and was then pulled to the other side by Chen Ruxuan.
Su Anlin entered the house and saw several straw mats.
There were eight straw mats in total, and they were wrapped casually, exposing eight legs, just exposed.
Directly in front is a table for eating, with incense candles placed on it, burning and emitting a peculiar smell.
There were several women chatting with the gentlemen on both sides, constantly looking at Su Anlin. When they saw Su Anlin and others, they quickly showed a flattering smile, nodded and bowed.
"Here, let's have some tea."
A woman brought tea.
However, Su Anlin, Chen Ruxuan, and Xu Bingshuang didn't pick up the call.
However, Ma Xiangdong took a sip and thought it tasted good.
Su Anlin had a strange look on his face, he dared to drink from a place like this.
He thought of the ghost stories he had read before.
A scholar stayed in a mass grave for one night and ate a lot of delicious food. He vomited it all the next day because everything he ate was bugs, cockroaches and maggots!
Except for Xu Bingshuang's concern for Chen Ruxuan, she basically cares about others, so she doesn't care about them.
Su Anlin walked to the body and wanted to open the straw mat and take a look.
But it's not polite.
After thinking about it, he directly activated his Qi Control Technique, and with a burst of Qi, he lifted up the straw mat.
But suddenly, he was stunned. He clearly activated the technique, but there was no response, as if the technique had lost its effect.
how so?
Su Anlin tried to activate the Qi Control Technique and use it in other places.
But it had no effect at all.
His heart sank, thinking of the last time in the ghost world, when everyone's strength was suppressed and they were reduced to ordinary people.
"In this place, our power is also limited."
Su Anlin whispered.
Xu Bingshuang was stunned and immediately tried to mobilize her inner energy.
The inner energy was there, and it was at its peak, but when she stretched out her hand, the inner energy just entered the air, as if it were two different spaces from her, and was no longer under her control.
Xu Bingshuang's face darkened, and she nodded: "There is indeed a problem."
"dinner is about to start, let's have a light meal later, there's nothing to eat."
At this time, the old man came over and said a little embarrassedly.
"Wait a minute, my stomach hurts."
Ma Xiangdong suddenly held his stomach and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are you OK."
A disciple named Zhou Ming walked over and patted the horse on its back.
"vomit!"
Ma Xiangdong couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to the corner and vomited.
Suddenly, a strong stream of blood rushed to his nose.
This guy vomited so much blood.
But the blood was obviously not his, but the bowl of tea he had just drank.
He looked at the blood on the ground and his whole face turned the color of pig liver.
"What the hell, what did you just eat?"
"What's wrong?" The old man came over with a curious look on his face.
As if he couldn't see the blood on the ground, he touched his head and said, "Dear boy, why did you spit out this tea?"
"I am Cao!"
Ma Xiangdong was about to swear, but Xu Bingshuang stopped him with a look.
Ma Xiangdong's face turned even redder and he couldn't breathe. Finally, he was pulled away by Su Anlin.
"Brother Su, why didn't master let me say it just now?" Ma Xiangdong was angry.
Su Anlin whispered: "This place is very weird. These people should be dead, but they still retain their alive state. It is not appropriate to disturb them at this time. If they are reminded that they are dead, it may cause problems."
"We haven't found out the problem yet, so we can only wait and be patient!"
Ma Xiangdong nodded, holding his stomach, with a bitter look on his face: "Then what should we eat and drink here?"
"You are out and about. Do you have any luggage or space magic weapons with you?"
"Big Boss, you are really a big boss, you actually have a space magic weapon."
Ma Xiangdong was shocked.
"Yeah, one of them was given to me by your master. I think you are her apprentice, so there should be one."
Su Anlin couldn't help but ask, did Xu Bingshuang not care about other disciples?
Ma Xiangdong was at a loss: "Master will only pass on such good things to his disciples."
Suddenly, Chen Ruxuan came over with a calm expression: "I was at that kid's place just now and asked some key questions!"
