The next day, Fang Yi and everyone entered Tengzhou, getting closer and closer to Muliang City. People on the official road gathered from the trail, and the number of people on the official road gradually increased, as if there was a rush of traffic. Since Fang Yi was between the two mountains,
After defeating the Bijing White-fronted Tiger, the relationship between the escorts and Fang Yi gradually became more active. Along the way, Fang Yi was talking and laughing. When the girl Su Xin listened to Fang Yi's stories, Fang Yi felt shy.
"Everyone!" At a fork in the road not far from Muliang City, Fang Yi suddenly stopped and said to everyone, clasping his fists.
"Brother Fang! What's wrong?" the boss of the escort asked.
"Muliang City is not far ahead. Fang Yi suddenly thought that there are still things that have not been dealt with. Please say goodbye here!" Fang Yi said to everyone.
"So that's it. Brother Fang, please be more careful, or we won't keep you!" the boss of the escort said, as if he could read Fang Yi's thoughts.
"Master Fang, won't you enter Muliang City with us?" Miss Su Xin asked at this time, hoping that Fang Yi could spend more time with everyone.
"There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. Fang Yi has important things to do and needs to go elsewhere, so he can only say goodbye here!" Fang Yi said to Miss Su Xin with his fists clasped, his expression extremely serious, changing from his previous shyness.
.
"Okay! Mr. Fang, please be more careful on the road!" Miss Su Xin expressed concern.
"Thank you so much, Miss Su Xin! Goodbye, everyone!" Fang Yi said.
"See you soon, Brother Fang!"
"Goodbye Mr. Fang!" Miss Su Xin and the bodyguards said goodbye to Fang Yi with fists in their hands. Seeing this, Fang Yi took the burden on his back and walked to the other side of the fork with the fat man.
"What are Mr. Fang going to do?" Miss Su Xin looked at Fang Yi's back and asked the boss of the escort.
"Since he is a real strong man, he must have something to accomplish, and we don't need to interfere!" the escort boss explained to Miss Su Xin.
"Well! I hope we can meet again!" Miss Su Xin said with a sigh.
"Let's go!" The boss of the escort shouted to the escort behind him. Several carriages pressed on the road and continued to move towards Muliang City. It is estimated that they will be able to enter Muliang City today.
Shortly after Fang Yi and the bodyguards parted ways, the fat man woke up and finally came out.
"Phew! I can't hold it in anymore! I can only pretend to sleep in this baggage for the past two days!" Fatty Man came out and said.
"What's the matter with you pretending to be asleep these past two days and not showing up? You won't wake up even if I ask you." Fang Yi asked curiously.
"It's strange! When you defeated the Bijing White-fronted Tiger, I found that my body had undergone subtle changes, and I needed to sleep to adapt, so I could only sleep in the bag!" Fat Lang Shen said helplessly.
"Okay!" Seeing this, Fang Yi couldn't help but give up.
"By the way! Are you planning to go to Baili Village?" Fat Langshen asked.
"Of course not! Although I already know the location of Baili Village, there are demon disciples there. In my opinion, it is not easy to succeed. So I went to the nearest place to collect information first. I took a look and the nearest village to Baili Village is Shijing Village.
, let’s go to Shijing Village to find out the news first!” Fang Yi said.
"So that's it. How long will it take to get to Shijing Village?" Fat Langshen asked curiously.
"Based on the current journey, we will arrive tonight!" Fang Yi said.
"Okay! I'll go out and do some exercise!" Fat Langshen jumped out of Fang Yi's bag. He hadn't been out for a long time.
Fat Lang Shen seemed to be energetic, jumping around Fang Yi, chasing and playing.
Seeing this, Fang Yi had no choice but to take out the map and look at the terrain, the location of Shijing Village, and the sun in the sky. After confirming the position, he headed towards Shijing Village, with Fat Lang Shen following closely behind.
Near night, Fang Yi and Fat Langshen arrived at Shijing Village. They did not encounter many obstacles or pedestrians along the way, and they quickly reached their destination. However, the scene in Shijing Village made Fang Yi a little confused.
At a loss.
I saw that the night view of Shijing Village seemed to be wrapped in fog. Although there were lanterns hung at the entrances of the villagers, the field of vision was less than five feet. Every house was closed, no pedestrians could be seen, and no sound of cooking could be heard. It was very strange.
"This is Shijing Village! You're not in the wrong place, right?" Fat Lang Shen said beside Fang Yi.
"It is said that there is a stone well in Shijing Village, which can produce spring water for irrigation. It is rich and abundant. What is going on?" When Fang Yi saw Shijing Village, it was not what the description said. The water channels in front of the door were all dry, and no water droplets could be seen or smelled.
Voice.
"Don't think about that now! How can I stay the night tonight! I'm afraid that ghosts will suddenly appear!" Fat Lang Shen said tremblingly while holding Fang Yi.
"Let's ask someone first. There is no inn in Shijing Village." Fang Yi considered.
"That's the only way it can be!" Fat Langshen said tremblingly.
"簌簌!" A sudden strange sound startled the fat man, and he quickly jumped into Fang Yi's baggage. Fang Yi could only shake his head and smile when he saw this, this fat man was too afraid of ghosts.
Come on! I have never seen such fear in the mountains, forests and grass before. Fang Yi looked at the sound and saw a stray wild cat jumping out and let out a sigh of relief.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Is there anyone there?" Fang Yi went deep into the village and saw a house that seemed to have someone inside, so he knocked on the wooden door and asked.
I saw that the villagers who originally had some lights turned off their lights instantly. This made Fang Yi a little confused. What happened? Is there really a ghost in this village at night?
Fang Yi knocked on several seemingly occupied doors again, hoping to find a place to stay tonight, but to no avail. After each knock, the lights inside the door would be turned off to show that no one was there.
As a last resort, Yi could only go back to the entrance of the village and look at the portal immersed in the village.
"Ahem!" Suddenly a slight cough caught Fang Yi's attention. Fang Yi looked at an old man with disheveled clothes and rags. With a little light, Fang Yi could see that the old man was disheveled and unkempt.
When I walked closer, I could still smell the stench of someone who hadn't taken a shower for an unknown amount of time, like a beggar.
"Old man!" Fang Yi walked over and saluted and called softly.
"Ahem! Oh? Are you staying overnight?" The old beggar raised his head, looked at Fang Yi, and asked.
"Yes! Old man! Is this Shijing Village?" Fang Yi asked seeing the old man's kindness.
"Yes and no! The spring comes out of the stone well and the land is fertile, but look at this scene, it is not what a fertile village should have!" the old beggar sighed.
"I wonder why Shijing Village became like this?" After hearing this, Fang Yi was sure that this was the Shijing Village he was looking for.
"It's been a long time, huh? The time is almost up! This is not the place to talk! There is a Earth Temple not far ahead. If you can't find a place, you can stay with me at the Earth Temple for the night." The old beggar said to Fang Fang.
Yi said.
"That couldn't be better! Fang Yi would like to thank the old man!" Fang Yi bowed and said.
"Ahem! Let's go!" The old beggar stood up and took Fang Yi towards the Tutu Temple.
Speechless all the way, Fang Yi had no choice but to follow the old beggar to the Tutu Temple. Along the way, he could hear the wailing sounds of Shijing Village behind him, and Fang Yi couldn't help but look in the direction of Shijing Village.
"Stop looking! The situation in Shijing Village is special now!" The old beggar finally spoke.
"Is this Shijing Village?" Fang Yi asked quickly when he heard the beggar old man said he was worried.
"Ahead is the Earth Temple! Let's talk about it in the temple!" the old beggar interrupted Fang Yi's question.
"Okay!" Fang Yi saw this and had to give up temporarily.
Not long after, Fang Yi came to the door of the Tutu Temple. Fang Yi lamented that this was not a land of earth. He saw that the Tutu Temple was in a dilapidated state. No one had cleaned it for an unknown period of time. What made people curious was the wall-covered walls.
The runes carved with cinnabar still look like they have gone through a battle between demons and demons.
The old beggar took Fang Yi into the Tutu Temple. The dilapidated Tutu Temple made Fang Yi deeply feel depressed. After seeing Fang Yi entering the Tutu Temple, the old beggar slowly closed the temple door, took out a piece of cinnabar talisman paper, and vomited
The saliva was stuck to the door.
"Okay!" The old beggar turned around and said, then walked into the temple.
Fang Yi saw the old beggar enter the temple, and followed him into the temple. The temple also looked dilapidated, which Fang Yi had expected.
"Find a place to sit!" The old man found a stone, swept it with his sleeve, turned around and sat down, then approached the firewood pile, took out a flint and rubbed it a few times, and lit the hay in the firewood pile.
The Earth Temple is now illuminated. This may be the only place with vitality in Shijing Village!
Seeing this, Fang Yi also found a piece of brick, blew the dust on it, placed it next to the fire and sat down, then looked at the old beggar.
"This Shijing Village! It has become a village of ghosts. Those bright lights you see are just some will-o'-the-wisps!" The old beggar found a wooden stick from nowhere and stirred the fire.
"This!" Fang Yi was shocked after hearing this! There is no living person in Shijing Village?
"A few months ago, a burst of fog suddenly came from a distance and enveloped Shijing Village. The villagers at the time were not surprised. Shijing Village actually has rich water flow and fog often appears. However, after a few days, the villagers discovered something was wrong.
, this fog shows no sign of dissipating!" the old beggar continued to fiddle with the fire, and the fire bounced up and lit up.
Fang Yi listened carefully. What the old man said was really shocking.
"Suddenly the situation changed. The villagers' bodies were strange. From time to time they would vomit blood at the mouth and suffer unbearable pain in their bodies. Suddenly, people in Shijing Village were wailing!" The old beggar continued, and after stirring up the fire, he placed the sticks on the fire.
On the side, he looked at Fang Yi.
"Old man! Do you know why this is happening?" Fang Yi asked hurriedly after hearing this. He seemed to understand in his heart. Fortunately, he did not go directly to Baili Village and came to Shijing Village to inquire about the news, but something unexpected happened.
"I don't know! But the souls of the villagers who committed suicide due to pain did not enter reincarnation. Instead, they wandered around Shijing Village at night. The lights in the villagers' homes were just will-o'-the-wisps!" The old man said to Fang Yi, looking at Fang Yi as if he had found hope.
Same.
"Then there are no living people in Shijing Village?" Fang Yi asked feebly. This kind of scene is unimaginable to Fang Yi. This is not what a cultivator does! This is simply an animal!
