Yin Shi.
It's still dark, everything is silent.
A loud bang woke up all the beasts in Juling Mountain.
The pheasants and wild leopards suddenly woke up from their dreams, fled in all directions amidst the deafening roar, and suddenly collided with each other. They no longer cared about their natural enemies, and they all ran away from the source of the sound.
The noise caused by the beasts shuttling through the forest spread along the entire Juling Mountain, and of course also reached the vicinity of Langtou Village on the north side. But when it reached here, the sound became much fainter across the entire Xuandan Mansion's mountain-protecting formation, making it difficult for mortals to hear it. However, the nearby wild dogs barked uneasily a few times.
At this time, two children were walking through the forest in night colors.
Both of them were wearing shabby clothes and their faces were dusty, but they did not hide their delicate features.
"What is this sound?" Zhao Yisu, who transformed into a little girl, walked in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow. His ears moved and he said to himself: "Is there a war at the Xuandan Mansion?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yunchen, who transformed into a little boy, had a cold face, which seemed a bit inconsistent with his round face.
"The look in your eyes is so unlike that of a child, it will be exposed."
"How naive do you expect a child who is running away from famine to be?" Even so, Jiang Yunchen still blinked, but he could not put on the expression of a qualified child.
"We have to hurry up, lest the Xuandan Mansion is taken over and the Soul-Destroying Pill I'm looking for is discovered by someone else first."
"It's not that simple to break through the mountain-protecting formation. Xuandan Mansion will not be unprepared. Don't worry, I guarantee you will be the first one to enter the formation."
"So crazy? As expected of a ninth grader." Zhao Yisu flattered him lukewarmly, and while they were talking, they arrived at the entrance of the village.
The familiar old woman was still sitting at the entrance of the village wiping her tears. Neither of them expected that she would get up so early, and they were a little surprised.
"Believe it or not, as long as I come up and ask for directions, she will definitely capture me regardless of the situation and offer it to the mountain god so that she can pray for her grandson Si Mao to come back."
"Don't worry. After you are caught, I will remember to save you." Jiang Yunchen pushed her hard.
Zhao Yisu was caught off guard and fell into the mud, falling right next to the old lady.
The old woman was startled. Before she could ask anything, she heard a girl crying: "Brother, you heartless brother! Am I not treating you well as a sister? How dare you push me from behind?" , do you want to push me outside to feed the wild dogs? Wuwuwuwu..."
She just howled without shedding tears, and the old lady couldn't see her anyway.
Jiang Yunchen stood aside, his face dark.
And the old woman almost caught Zhao Yisu with one hand. Her strong figure was faster than a rabbit, and she didn't look like she was old and waning at all.
"Girl, how old are you?"
Zhao Yisu: "Grandma, who are you? Where are you?"
"Be good, kid. Come hungry. Grandma will prepare something delicious for you. Do you want it?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yisu responded with a sweet voice, but there was an extremely uncomfortable expression on his face.
I liked the old grandma so much when I first met her, but now I hate her even more. Because the direction the old woman was leading her was not her home in Langtou Village, but outside the mountain, all the way towards the evil cultivator's mansion.
"Child, are you under ten years old?" The old woman compared her height.
"Well, I'm seven years old. Grandma, where are we going now? Are we going to your house to find food?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The old woman said as she found the way into the mountain. It was obviously not the first time she had walked this road. She was so familiar that she didn't look like a blind person. Even her steps up the mountain were a bit vigorous.
"But grandma, why doesn't your family live in the village, but in the mountains?"
"It's better to live in the mountains. Everything is freshest, including wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots..." She lied casually, not paying attention to the child at all, and just walked forward eagerly for fear of being discovered. Similar.
Finally, we got a girl who can be sacrificed to the mountain god, but we can't let others in Langtou Village snatch it away!
Adhering to this belief, the old woman seemed to be full of strength. She walked the mountain road that usually took several hours to walk in less than an hour.
"Grandma, I'm scared." Zhao Yisu looked at the familiar cliff in the distance and stepped back: "Brother, brother, come here quickly!"
Jiang Yunchen glared at her.
Who is your brother!
The old woman seemed to have remembered that there was a little boy at this time, and groped for the boy's hand: "Follow me, if you are slow, there will be no good food."
Jiang Yunchen was led by her indifferently, and it didn't take long before he arrived at the place.
There was a flat open space in front of him. There was a large rock in the center of the open space. It was unknown whether it had been polished deliberately, making it look as smooth as a mirror.
"Lord Mountain God!" The old woman knelt down and kowtowed with such force that her forehead drew blood: "Lord Mountain God! My grandson Si Mao has been missing for several days. Now I dedicate this girl to you. I hope Sir, you must take pity on me and get my grandson Si Mao back!"
"Grandma, what are you doing..." Zhao Yisu pretended to be scared and tried to get away, but the old lady grabbed him tightly.
The kind-hearted face turned extremely ferocious: "Shut up! If you piss off the Mountain God, you will get the best of you!"
Suddenly a gust of evil wind blew up in the mountains, mixed with the strong smell of blood. The man did not appear, but a voice came out: "Put it up."
"Hey! Hey!" The old woman grabbed Zhao Yisu excitedly and threw her onto the smooth stone platform.
The stone platform lit up with a faint red light, as if a bloody mouth suddenly opened and swallowed Zhao Yisu in an instant.
It was at this time that the old lady suddenly threw Jiang Yunchen into it again!
"Lord Mountain God, if my four hairs are dead, I will exchange this man's life for another life. You must exchange my four hairs back!"
As the red light disappeared, the two children completely disappeared. The surroundings returned to calm, the mountain wind stopped, and the old woman calmed down. Her forehead was bloody and her face was covered with tears. She wanted to take a crutch to go down the mountain, but then she realized that she had lost her crutch in her excitement.
She was blind, so she had no choice but to use her feet to explore the path under her feet, and then went down the mountain path. Her back was lonely and stooped, and it was impossible to tell that she had just killed the two children.
In the dark cave, Zhao Yisu lowered his voice and looked at Jiang Yunchen: "Okay now, we both came in together, what should we do?"
Jiang Yunchen: "Her target is you. Remember, when burning Zi Gui Cao, the ground fire must be pure. Use the one from the deepest source in your Dantian. Use all your fourth-grade cultivation. You must move quickly! Only by burning Zi Guicao, I can cast a spell to save you, otherwise this evil cultivator can catch us all."
As soon as Zhao Yisu heard this, the soil beneath the two of them suddenly loosened - "Ah!" She exclaimed, resisting the temptation to subconsciously use her spiritual power. Instead, she fell from it like a mortal, and finally landed on the ground. On a soft straw mat.
"Well……"
Zhao Yisu covered his dizzy head. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, he heard a young woman's voice: "Quickly, send her to cleanse herself."
Zhao Yisu didn't have time to ask around, so he cried first and then said: "Wow wow wow wow - where is this! I'm afraid I have to go home, brother, where is my brother..."
The woman came forward with the candlestick, and a kind face reflected behind the candlelight: "Don't be afraid, little sister, this is a good place, you have food and clothing, we will not treat you badly."
As for the question of where her brother was, she selectively did not answer and winked at the people around her.
Several beautiful maids came forward, gently holding Zhao Yisu's hand and walking inside.
Zhao Yisu pretended to cry like a child and looked around with curious eyes as he cried.
They walked to an open cave underground, with soft gauze tents and bright candlelight. Looking at the site that was not intended for evil cultivation, it looked like a princess's bedroom.
Here she was dazzled by the luxurious cave, but over there, Jiang Yunchen fell into a pool of flesh and blood.
"Here comes the work!" Someone called out, and two figures came forward and surrounded the thin Jiang Yunchen.
