Su Anlin gave up the pursuit and turned to look at the so-called Earth Temple.
The land is flat and dilapidated, and a piece of the roof seems to be broken. There are a few dilapidated huts on the side. I don’t know what these huts are used for. The walls outside are mottled and rotten, and they look like they have not been inhabited for a long time.
.
“There really is a land temple here.”
Wu Shuang raised his sword, spread out the flowers and plants in front of him, and walked forward.
Su Anlin reminded: "Everyone, remember, don't let anyone sneak in like just now."
He turned around helplessly and looked at everyone.
But when he looked at it, he looked at a female disciple with a strange expression.
He was too anxious just now and didn't pay attention, but now he saw that something was not right about this female disciple.
Along the way, he saw the health bars of each of them.
This female disciple is called Li Fangfang, and her health bar should be around 1030.
But now, his health bar is: 1430.
The difference between one word made Su Anlin alert.
"boom!"
Without saying a word, he kicked Li Fangfang in the stomach.
"ah!"
Li Fangfang roared, and her voice turned from crisp to a low growl.
The sound was like the roar of a wild beast.
"Fangfang, you!"
Without Su Anlin's explanation, the people around him could tell that something was wrong with Li Fangfang.
"hey-hey."
Li Fangfang was kicked, her body slowly stood up, and black liquid flowed out of the corner of her mouth for no apparent reason.
That's right, it's a black liquid without any blood.
This scene made Wu Shuang alert: "You are not Li Fangfang!"
"whee!"
Li Fangfang laughed weirdly and couldn't help but look towards Su Anlin: "Young student, how did you find me?"
Su Anlin frowned. Although the words were spoken by Li Fangfang, from this tone, this guy sounded quite young.
"Who are you and why are you in Li Fangfang's body?"
Su Anlin winked at Wu Shuang, who moved forward and came behind Li Fangfang.
A group of people almost surrounded Li Fangfang.
"You will know soon."
A wisp of green smoke drifted over Li Fangfang's head and quickly disappeared.
Su Anlin was slightly startled when he saw it: "Let's go."
Because he noticed that the blood bar on Li Fangfang's head had recovered.
"Plop!"
Li Fangfang sat down on the ground with a pale face, her forehead covered with sweat.
She looked at everyone around her in surprise, "You...why are you looking at me like this? What...what's wrong with me?"
She suddenly realized that she could not remember what she had just experienced.
It's like there is a gap in my memory and I can't remember it at all.
"Li Fangfang, have you forgotten?"
Wu Shuang couldn't help but remind her.
Li Fangfang was frightened by Wu Shuang's tone, and her voice almost sounded like crying: "Senior sister, what are you referring to? Wuwuwu, I will be fine."
"It should be a kind of upper body." Su Anlin explained: "You were upper body by something just now."
"What, how is this possible?" Li Fangfang shook her head: "I didn't notice it at all."
"It's normal that you didn't notice it. This thing is invisible, just like the woman who suddenly appeared before."

Su Anlin's face suddenly turned ugly.
It's really weird here.
Not only did their strength become weaker, but also inexplicable things happened one after another.
Is there some connection between that woman and Li Fangfang being taken over?
He doesn't know.
"Let's go to the Earth Temple in front first. But Li Fangfang, when did you suddenly realize that you lost your memory just now?"
While walking, Wu Shuang turned to look at Li Fangfang and asked.
Li Fangfang was stunned for a moment and began to recall.
"I remember just now, we were walking together, and I walked for a while. At this time, didn't I find a pair of cloth shoes?"
Su Anlin raised his eyebrows: "So, you suddenly lost your memory when you saw the cloth shoes?"
Li Fangfang nodded slightly: "Yes, I didn't know anything at that time."
Su Anlin had a strange look on his face. During that time, he kept observing his surroundings and found nothing.
Now it seems that he probably didn't see it, but he was surprised that he could see the blood bar. He should have seen it when the evil spirit came to Li Fangfang's body.
Why is this happening?
While thinking, everyone came to the Earth Temple.
The area near the door was overgrown with grass, and it was full of fallen leaves and rotten wood. The whole house was crumbling, as if it was about to collapse.
Everyone entered the room, and at this moment, everyone's heart was at its peak.
After experiencing the weirdness just now, they realized that the situation here was not that simple.
Everything is too weird and doesn't feel real.
With their strength, they were attacked for no reason, which was simply terrifying.
Su Anlin walked around the Tutu Temple. There was nothing special here.
The statue of the earth god that was worshiped in the past has long been dilapidated and rusty, with missing arms and legs, which makes it a bit weird.
Su Anlin stood in front of the statue of the Earth God and looked up.
The figure's eyes are full of energy, as if looking at him.
After thinking for a while, Su Anlin put his hands together, bent down and bowed.
"Junior Brother Su, this land god has been ruined for a long time. Why do you worship this?" Wu Shuang was puzzled.
Su Anlin shook his head and said: "I heard before that even in small temples in the mountains, some gods exist. Although we practice Taoism, it doesn't matter if we worship them."
"Hey, there's a little girl outside."
Suddenly, the cat at the door shouted: "Little girl, why are you here?"
Hearing that someone was there, Su Anlin and Wu Shuang both walked out.
A little girl stood timidly in the forest, with a large bundle of firewood on her back. She looked at everyone curiously: "I...I collect firewood."
Su Anlin frowned. The little girl's health bar was not high, only 120.
This shows that he is just an ordinary person with a relatively strong physique.
He couldn't help but wonder, this was a strange place, how could this little girl appear here?
Su Anlin and Wu Shuang looked at each other and decided to go over and ask.
"Little girl, we were passing by and got lost. Why are you here?" Su Anlin walked over and asked.
"What, you are lost? This place is far away from the outside. How could you get lost here?" The little girl, who was quite talkative, walked over here.
"We have been walking for a long time, and it is not easy to see this place to stay."
Su Anlin smiled and pointed to the Earth Temple behind him: "I just walked over and didn't expect that this place is also in ruins. We don't know what to do."
"Then you are really pathetic."
"Do you live here?" Wu Shuang asked.
"Yes, right in front, near a river, is our village."
The little girl pointed to a hillside ahead, which seemed to be some distance away.
Su Anlin stared at the little girl's face intently, observing all her expressions.
But I didn't see anything.
At this moment, Su Anlin became even more strange and asked Wu Shuang, "Is there a village here?"
Wu Shuang shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
"Go over and have a look."
Su Anlin has no other choice now.
"Little girl, how long have you lived here?" Su Anlin asked.
"It's been a long time. Our ancestors have lived here for generations."
"Someone has disappeared here recently, have you seen it?"
The little girl's eyes lit up, "Tell me about those people passing by like you. They have been to our village, but they are all gone."
Su Anlin suddenly felt confident, there was a chance!
"Then do you know where they went?"
The little girl tilted her head and said, "I don't know. I have to go out to collect firewood every day. I don't know what happened to them."
"Then can you take us to the village you mentioned?"
The little girl nodded vigorously: "Okay, the village chief is very good. He will definitely help you."
Su Anlin nodded to several people: "It's settled, let's go there now."
"How can a village exist in such a weird place?"
Wu Shuang frowned. She had researched many events in order to come here, but no one had ever mentioned anything about the village.
However, she had the same idea as Su Anlin, and she was also ready to go and have a look.
In this way, everyone followed the little girl and walked along an unclear path towards a hillside.
On the way, Su Anlin learned that the little girl's name was Fang Xiaohong. Her parents were still alive at home, and she had several brothers and sisters. She was considered prosperous.
In order not to get lost, Su Anlin would tie a piece of cloth on a tree every time he walked a section of the road.
Unknowingly, I finally saw a small river and a small village filled with smoke and birds.
At the entrance of the village, several working people were walking towards the village carrying various farm tools.
At first glance, there is no difference between this village, and Su Anlin can't help but think of the past.
Wasn't the place where he lived like this in the past?
Su Anlin and his group immediately attracted the attention of the villagers, who all looked over.
"Hey, this is... so many outsiders."
Someone noticed Su Anlin's group of people.
"Fang Xiaohong, who is this?"
Soon, an older man came running with a group of villagers.
Su Anlin took the initiative to go out and sighed: "Old man, we were lost when we passed by. A group of us were originally kidnapped by a group of bandits. Later, the bandits were chased by officers and soldiers, and we escaped. Fortunately, we came here and met you. Good luck.
Very good."
The clothes of Su Anlin's group were in tatters, but some villagers said something was wrong: "You said you came here to escape, but why do you have long swords on you?"
"Yes, you are carrying a sword when you are fleeing. Who dares to cause trouble for you?"
"That's right."
Su Anlin had already explained this and sighed: "I was fleeing and stole these weapons from the bandits and came here."
The village chief's eyes were clearly wary.
Regarding this, Su Anlin felt helpless.
He never thought that there was a village here, so when he came, he only thought about changing his clothes, not hiding his weapons.
Fortunately, his rhetoric doesn't make much sense. If these villagers continue to be ignorant, then he will have no choice but to be tough.
"Old man, it's getting late today, can we stay here for one night?"
The village chief looked at Su Anlin, then at a group of girls, and frowned: "Are you really fleeing?"
"Look, we are all girls, what are we trying to do by lying to you, right?"
Wu Shuang stood up and spoke in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the village chief also said, "Okay, then you can live in temporarily, but I tell you not to run around, because if you run out, you may not be able to come back."
Su Anlin became interested: "Village chief, why do you say that we can't come back after we go out? Is there anything dangerous here?"
"Of course there are. There are a lot of spirits in this mountain forest."
"Then why are you okay?" Su Anlin couldn't help but ask.
The village elder was saying: "Of course we are different from you. We live here and are familiar with the spirits here."
"Ready?"
Su Anlin felt confused and had the feeling that the murderer and I were very familiar.
"What the village chief means is that we are born and raised here, and monsters generally won't harm us." A woman explained with a smile.
"Then did you see anyone else coming?"
Su Anlin asked again.
"Of course I came here, but then I left."
"Where to go?"
"After they go out, can they still live here?" The village chief smiled and turned around and said, "Come with me. My family recently built a new house, but no one is living in the old house. I originally wanted to build a sheepfold. This
It will be easier for you next time.”
Su Anlin nodded: "Thank you very much, village chief."
"One thing, remember, no matter what you see or hear, don't go out at night."
When they reached the old house of the village chief, the village chief suddenly turned around and looked at everyone with serious eyes.
"What will happen if I go out?"
The village chief's eyes widened: "What if you get lost when you go out? We have helped others before, but those people were ignorant and ran out in the middle of the night. After running out, they were gone. We had good intentions and went to find them.
Guess what happened next?"
"What's wrong?" Su Anlin was curious.
"I couldn't find it later."
The village chief sighed: "That's a lot of human lives. They might have disappeared somewhere in this barren mountain. It would be a pity to die."
They seem to have good hearts and are not bad people.
The village chief gave some more instructions, and finally said: "I'll have people deliver food later, let's go first."
After they left, Su Anlin led people into the old house, and everyone started cleaning.
This old house is divided into two wings, east and west. Although there are no quilts, there is hay, so we can make do with it for one night.
While cleaning up, suddenly, a female disciple came over with a handkerchief.
"Hey, this..."
Looking at the handkerchief, Su Anlin wrinkled slightly: "Picked it up?"
"Yes, this handkerchief is not something people in the village can have."
"There are a lot of footprints here. Someone lived here before."
Li Fangfang suddenly said.
"Another discovery, a necklace was found here in the window."
"There is a pair of girls' shoes by the back door."
As clues were found one by one, Su Anlin had a vague feeling that many disappearances had occurred here.
Where have the original owners of these items gone?
Everyone has doubts in their minds.
"Do you want to tell the village chief about these things?" Wu Shuang asked.
Su Anlin shook his head: "It's useless. This is their place. Maybe they already knew it."
Just then, several villagers carrying meals came over.
