And the face of this statue looks a bit ferocious.
Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly. Why does this statue give people such an eerie and weird feeling?
Could this be an unknown evil god?
"The evil god also built a temple and the statue is broken. What secrets are hidden here?" Xie Yunxiao whispered to himself. This is the hinterland of Daguan Mountain. Who would have thought that such a strange place would be found here?
"Sir, shouldn't we take shelter here?"
Meng Tian had always been able to make up his mind, but compared to Xie Yunxiao, he could see less. Although he had his own thoughts and judgments in his heart, he still chose to ask Xie Yunxiao first.
Xie Yunxiao pondered for a moment and said: "Since we are already here, don't think about this problem!"
Meng Tian nodded, and he ordered a few soldiers to strengthen patrols.
Under the pressure of black clouds and heavy rain, the river water gathered together flowed down along the ravines in the mountains, making a gurgling sound.
The sky was darkening and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.
The brothers who went out to investigate have returned. Nearly five or six miles away from the temple, there are many houses, but no one has lived in them for a long time.
Apparently there once was a huge village here.
"Sir, you are wondering why such a big village is empty now?" Meng Tian said.
Xie Yunxiao nodded: "You tell brothers to be more vigilant, I will go to that village to have a look!"
"It's better to let a few brothers go with sir!" Mengtian said.
Xie Yunxiao waved his hand: "No need!"
In the dim rainy night, Xie Yunxiao's steps fell, and the water on the ground did not splash up. His steps seemed to have no contact with the ground.
When Meng Tian saw this, he thought that Mr. Xie's cultivation had improved compared to not long ago.
Xie Yunxiao was only in the fourth realm, but Mengtian had never underestimated him because he had seen Xie Yunxiao's extraordinary abilities.
Xie Yunxiao had already walked a few miles away in less than a cup of tea, and what he saw was a piece of ruins.
He continued walking forward and looked at several houses and determined that no one had lived in these houses for at least three years.
"A village of several hundred people suddenly disappeared, but Daning didn't hear anything strange. This is really abnormal. Could it be that the county guard didn't report it?" Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly.
He continued walking forward, covering half of the village in nearly a cup of tea.
These houses were abandoned, but no traces were left here.
It seems that in every house, people close the door before going out, but after going out, they never come back.
"Three years has been a long time. Even if there are any clues, they may have been blown away by the wind!" Xie Yunxiao whispered to himself.
He didn't have to deliberately avoid the rain, and even the falling rain couldn't get half of his clothes wet.
"There are still many places that have not been visited, maybe we can find something useful!" Xie Yunxiao raised his head and looked at half of the rooms behind, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
He stepped forward and could see every house clearly.
Almost exactly the same as the previous situation.
"It's really weird!" Xie Yunxiao stopped and whispered to himself.
While Xie Yunxiao was distracted, a big raindrop fell and hit him on the face. A biting coldness hit him, making him wake up inexplicably.
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Xie Yunxiao's eyes. He turned around suddenly and saw a figure standing there at the end of the street in front of him.
The distance between them was nearly twenty feet, but Xie Yunxiao could still see this person's face clearly.
This is a young man of about 27 or 28 years old. He is tall and tall. He wears a hat on his head and has a stubble on his face. His clothes are very ordinary, and the shoes on his feet already have holes.
He looked like an ordinary person, but Xie Yunxiao sensed a dangerous aura.
At this moment, an inexplicable energy filled the two of them, and the distance of twenty feet became a dangerous zone.
Suddenly, the young man standing at the end of the street jumped up suddenly, unsheathed his long sword, and the light of the sword rushed out like a bursting river. The sharp edge of the sword cut through the rainwater.
That sharp aura gave Xie Yunxiao an inexplicable feeling of suffocation.
But Xie Yunxiao's expression remained unchanged. He gently raised his hand, and the condensed true energy was not exposed, but was integrated into the fist power.
The man's sword seemed to be pierced on an invisible wall. The long sword bent and struck with force, swinging in all directions.
With a loud bang, a strange space suddenly appeared between the sky and the earth, and all the falling rainwater actually gathered towards it.
Immediately afterwards, there was another violent explosion, and the chaotic force spread out like a river.
Xie Yunxiao was shaken and flew backwards like a broken leaf. The terrifying force caused the falling rainwater to roll away.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Does everything here have anything to do with you?"
The young man held the long sword across his chest, and the halo of light flowed, reflecting the dark night. His eyes saluted and fell on Xie Yunxiao, as if he wanted to see through Xie Yunxiao completely.
The sharp aura filled the air and kept hitting Xie Yunxiao's face. Even though he was an innate Taoist body and his physical body was extremely powerful, he still felt a slight sting at this time.
You can imagine how sharp this sword is.
Xie Yunxiao stood there quietly, with a calm expression, as if nothing in this world could disturb his mind.
"Are you from this village?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
The young man struck again. His sword seemed very slow, but in fact it was extremely fast. The moment Xie Yunxiao took a breath, the sharp long sword had already arrived in front of him.
Xie Yunxiao didn't hesitate at all. He opened his hands and condensed the supreme power into a glowing ball, which just blocked the sharp sword.
A deafening sound came out, and the young man with the sword was sent flying this time.
The look of horror in the young man's eyes was indescribable. He was at the pinnacle of the Seventh Realm and could even fight in the Eighth Realm. The blow just now only knocked Xie Yunxiao away, but he was already shocked.
But this time, it was him who was knocked away.
"The fourth realm also possesses such terrifying power?" The young man's voice gradually became higher and sharper.
Xie Yunxiao's power is not just the fourth realm. Ever since he swallowed the strange soul attack power of the misty abyss demon, Xie Yunxiao's power of consciousness has undergone some unknown changes.
In terms of quantity, it is increasing, but in terms of quality, it is indescribable.
The move he made just now was not only his own power, but also mobilized the vitality of heaven and earth to gather in it, which knocked the young man away.
It's just that the power of Xie Yunxiao's consciousness manifested invisibly, and this young man couldn't see it.
"I don't know what's going on in this village, I just came here to take a look!" Xie Yunxiao made it clear that he did not want to continue fighting with this young man.
"I have been waiting here for three days. Tonight, including you, two groups of people have come. The one just now was the Ningguo army. They just looked around and then left, while you walked in and took a closer look. If not He is a thoughtful person, how could he be like this?"
There was an indescribable sharp light in the young man's eyes, and every word he spoke carried an inexplicable power.
Xie Yunxiao sighed, it seemed that he really couldn't explain it clearly.
"What is this place?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
"Niejia Village was once a very prosperous village!" the young man replied subconsciously, with a look of sadness in his eyes.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Why did it become like this?"
The young man asked the question, and pain suddenly appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but step back, and after he stopped, he shouted: "I don't know, I really don't know. I just came back today after I left three years ago!"
Xie Yunxiao sighed secretly, who can explain clearly the things in this world?
"The reason why I checked this village is just because I think this village is inexplicably weird!" Xie Yunxiao said.
The young man sheathed his long sword, his expression suddenly turned cold.
Xie Yunxiao glanced at the young man, his eyes filled with surprise, and said, "Do you believe me?"
"Isn't this the result you want? I have no reason not to believe you!" the young man said.
Xie Yunxiao nodded secretly. This young man was not an ordinary person. What he said just now was to tell the young man invisibly that he really didn't know where this place was and had nothing to do with the village.
With a few simple words, the young man could hear the true meaning. How could such a person be an ordinary person?
"My Excellency, Xie Yunxiao, may I ask you your surname?" Xie Yunxiao said.
The young man glanced at Xie Yunxiao: "Nie Jingqiu!"
"What a name!" Xie Yunxiao praised.
Nie Jingqiu turned around and walked to another street. The moment he turned around, the look in his eyes was full of despair.
Xie Yunxiao didn't know what to say, but just moved his mouth slightly.
"Do you want to find out everything that happened in the village?" Xie Yunxiao shouted.
Nie Jingqiu's steps suddenly stopped in the air, and then he slowly put them down. The water on the ground suddenly splashed away.
Then, Nie Jingqiu slowly turned around, the sharp light in his eyes indescribable.
"You want to help me?" Nie Jingqiu asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "I am with the Daning army just now!"
Nie Jingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "So what?"
"We are going to spend the night in a temple not far away tonight. I don't want any accidents to happen!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Nie Jingqiu asked: "How do you know there will be an accident tonight? What does this have to do with our Niejia Village?"
"I don't know what the relationship is, but I feel there is always some connection. As for tonight's accident, who can say for sure? After all, it's only half past midnight!" Xie Yunxiao said.
"You want to get useful information from me, but I really don't know what happened!" Nie Jingqiu's eyes showed indescribable pain.
This is his hometown, and his relatives all live here, but now, except for the houses that have not collapsed, there is no one here.
Where have his relatives gone? Where have the neighbors gone?
"At least, you should know that temple!" Xie Yunxiao said lightly.
When Nie Jingqiu heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Of course I know about that temple. What does this have to do with the disappearance of people in the village?"
"Maybe there is!" Xie Yunxiao paused and asked, "Who is that temple dedicated to?"
