Hua Ruxue then went to see the illusion of another villager.
The villager called her Mu Yan.
When Mu Yan opened her eyes, she found that she was actually sleeping on the bed. Her eyes were filled with panic. She ran out of the house and looked at the woman still standing in the yard in disbelief.
"Sister! You didn't leave!" Mu Yan stepped forward and hugged the confused woman tightly, complaining: "You seemed to have lost your soul last night. You ran out of the village and I couldn't find you after searching for a long time. !」
"Don't scare me like this next time! If you really want to leave the village, I'll do whatever you want, but don't leave without saying a word!"
Mu Yan didn't get a response for a while, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears. When she met the woman's eyes, Mu Yan panicked again.
The person in front of me didn't seem to remember what happened last night, and said solemnly: "Go and wash your face quickly, we have to go up the mountain to collect medicine later."
"Sister?" Mu Yan tentatively stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the woman's eyes. The woman seemed not to notice, avoiding Mu Yan and minding her own work.
Mu Yan stood there helplessly and said, "This is what happened yesterday..."
Then her eyes lit up, "Did I go back to yesterday? No matter what, I have to work hard to keep my sister! I won't let my sister leave the village!"
Mu Yan chewed the second knuckle of her index finger and muttered: "Every once in a while, someone leaves the village. My sister's expression and movements when she left last night were too weird. Do you want to tell the village chief about this news? Let the village chief help?"
The scene turned and Mu Yan arrived outside the village chief's house. The village chief opened the door with a flash of surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Mu Yan to come to him.
It was this subtle surprise that convinced Hua Ruxue that the village chief in the illusion had been replaced by the real village chief. If the village chief was transformed from a fantasy world and would not take any action other than what was planned, he would definitely ignore Mu Yan.
The village chief entered the illusion earlier than Mu Yan.
Mu Yan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. She tightly grasped the village chief's sleeve and said, "Grandpa village chief, I seem to have returned to yesterday!"
"Yesterday?" The village chief smiled and shook his head, obviously not believing Mu Yan's words.
"Really! It was yesterday! My sister suddenly left the house last night. I searched for it in the village for a long time but couldn't find it. But today she reappeared in the yard and said the same words as yesterday!"
"I don't know what happened. I just want to keep my sister. My sister's expression was very strange when she left yesterday. Her eyes were lifeless and she looked like she was half asleep, but she was surprisingly strong. I couldn't stop or catch up. . I just want to ask if you have any elixir that can make people sleep..."
When the village chief met Mu Yan's expectant eyes, his heart softened for a moment, and he turned around and said kindly to Mu Yan: "Just this once..."
"It won't happen again!" Mu Yan watched the village chief enter the back room. When he saw a rag on the corner of the table, he picked up the rag and wiped it aside.
Mu Yan unfolded the rag casually and found that the rag was not a rag.
The outer layer of the rag is gray cloth, but the inner layer is densely packed with rags. Without exception, the rags have people's names embroidered on them.
From Yan Chenrui to the last person who left the village.
Mu Yan saw her sister's name at the end, and an idea suddenly came to her mind. .z.br>
When the village chief came out of the back room, he smiled as usual and handed the medicine bottle in his hand to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan suppressed the fear in her heart. She gently closed the embroidery in her hand and put it back on the table. Then she pretended that nothing happened and took the medicine bottle from the village chief's hand.
Mu Yan felt her mind go blank. She walked to the village chief's yard, returned to the house, and pulled out the handkerchief with her sister's name embroidered on it. She didn't know when her sister's name had disappeared.
"This veil is the same as before, except the name on it has disappeared."
"This handkerchief was given to the villagers as gifts by the village chief on their birthdays. It was said to be embroidered by the village chief himself. The handkerchief also has a faint medicinal fragrance. Carrying it with you can prevent snakes and insects. Why do those parts of the name suddenly appear again? Returned to the village chief?"
If it is said that "the village chief created an enemy attack and imprisoned him severely"
"Chen Rui and others use their living souls to gather Yin Qi." At first, it was just the most resistant guess in Hua Ruxue's heart. After witnessing Mu Yan's illusion, she became even more convinced of this guess.
The village chief not only kidnapped Yan Chenrui and others, he also kidnapped those who left the village.
Leaving the village was just an excuse.
The village chief kidnapped those people so that Lingyin Grass could grow so that he could refine the Immortality Pill.
Why did he refine so many immortality pills?
Where did the senior's grandson go?
When she saw the fourth illusion, Hua Ruxue understood the reason why the village chief had refined a large amount of longevity pills. It is said that this pill needs to be taken regularly for a long time...
It seems that when the senior ascended, he completely entrusted the child to the village chief.
Hua Ruxue read through the rest of the illusion and found no other abnormalities. At this time, Su Yi and Ning Shuyan also completed their investigation.
Hua Ruxue first told the two of them what she saw in the village chief's fantasy: "We are here for Lingyin Grass. Yanmiao Village is adjacent to Lingyin Underground Palace. If there is no error in the time in Yanmiao Village, , there is Lingyin grass in the underground palace at this time."
"Did the village chief use Lingyin grass when refining the elixir?" Ning Shuyan asked. Although she had seen pictures of Lingyin grass many times when she came here, she still did not recognize the herbs used by the village chief when refining the elixir. What is it, but after Jinghua Ruxue mentioned it, she guessed that there must be Lingyin grass in it.
Su Yi patiently explained: "Lingyin grass is most afraid of imbalances in spiritual energy and yin energy. Once it leaves the place where it grows, it must be stored in a box that isolates the spiritual energy. The herb placed in the wooden box by the village chief is Lingyin grass."
It doesn't matter if you can't identify the herb directly, you can infer it from other places.
"After we rescue the snake vulture, we will go over to pick the Lingyin grass." Ning Shuyan felt much better when she thought that the goal of this trip was not far away.
Seeing that the two of them had no doubts, Hua Ruxue continued: "The senior is a ninth-grade formation mage. He successfully drew the Soul Leaving Formation and the Yin Gathering Formation in the Lingyin Underground Palace for ten years. Then, under the village chief's instructions, With the cooperation, Yan Chenrui and others were kidnapped and their souls were used to stimulate the growth of Lingyin grass."
As for why this matter must be completed in Lingyin Underground Palace, it is because only Lingyin Underground Palace, to be precise, only the lowest layer of Lingyin Underground Palace has the seeds of Lingyin grass.
Moreover, the terrain in Lingyin Underground Palace is complex, making it the best place to hide Yan Chenrui and others.
"Senior Yan Chenrui was not attacked by the enemy?" Ning Shuyan recalled the introduction in the village diary and felt her scalp numb.
"How many people in the world can break the lost trace array improved by the ninth-level array master?" Su Yi asked rhetorically. When he saw in the village diary that the senior had cultivated in the Tribulation Stage, he became interested in this senior. Suspicion: "Senior is a great expert in overcoming tribulations. Protecting the people in the village is just a simple task."
"Then why didn't the villagers suspect anything?"
"Senior can use the excuse that he was not in the village at that time, he can use the excuse that there is a problem with his technique, or he can say that he is suppressing his cultivation, and if he takes action, it will cause a thunder disaster."
Hua Ruxue gave an example. In short, facing a group of monks in the Qi training stage, what the truth is is not a matter for him, a powerful man in the Tribulation Stage, to open his mouth.
Su Yi nodded in agreement and said in a helpless tone: "Even if the villagers are suspicious, who would dare to confront that senior?"
For the villagers who had just lost the protection of a strong man at that time, they urgently needed the protection of a stronger man. Therefore, even if they knew that there was something wrong with the words and deeds of that senior, they would choose to believe it.
"The traitor in the village turned out to be the senior and the village chief." Ning Shuyan couldn't digest this fact for a while. "I originally thought that the Lingyin Grass came from what we had discussed before. Each person consumes a little soul power. ..."
Faced with Ning Shuyan's deep integrity, Hua Ruxue didn't know how to answer her question.
Ning Shuyan looked like this in disbelief when she heard that her senior had used Shuiyue Mirror to kill the remaining villagers, and she still looks like this now.
Thinking about it, Ning Shuyan, as a proud daughter of heaven, is naturally a star-studded presence in the family. Even if she takes orders to deal with some affairs, they are mostly focused on disputes between disciples. She is not deeply involved in the world, and her biggest frustration in the past is It must have been that time when I thought about crossing a cliff.
"The village chief wants to help the child
The amount of Lingyin grass required to refine a large amount of longevity pills is beyond our imagination. Hua Ruxue reminded her that when she knew that the longevity pill needed to be taken regularly for a long time, she confirmed her previous guess.
Yanmiao Village is extremely remote. If you want to produce a large number of Lingyin Grass, the best way to produce the necessary souls is to use local materials.
"Then later, it was recorded in the village records that someone discovered that they were promoting the life of Lingyin grass to refine the immortality pill. They told the villagers about this, weren't they afraid that the villagers would leave the village after discovering that the Lingyin grass was used to promote life with souls? ?」
A monk always dies when his body dies and his soul dies. Even if there is a Soul Separation Formation to separate the body and soul, once the body is damaged, the soul will be annihilated immediately.
The physical bodies of Yan Chenrui and others will be extremely well protected until their soul power is exhausted.
In this way, other villagers may discover this secret if they enter the Lingyin Underground Palace.
Su Yi looked at Ning Shuyan and explained: "Those who decided to leave the village and those who discovered the secrets of the Lingyin Underground Palace, without exception, eventually became the nourishment of Lingyin Grass."
In the illusion, he saw a code left by a villager in the corner. The code was interpreted as: Lingyin grass uses living souls as nutrients. Village Chief Yan was captured by them and used as nutrients. You run away!
The seemingly peaceful village hides a huge crisis.
"Sister Ning, don't worry. We are safe now. Surviving the village chief in the Water Moon Mirror is a problem. That senior has ascended to the next level. I guess he doesn't want to be infected with the sin of killing again..."
After saying this, Hua Ruxue herself didn't believe it. After learning the news of her grandson's death, the senior slaughtered the entire village in a rage, not even sparing the village chief who was one of his own.
Now the seniors have not done anything to them, maybe because they want to know the cause of the child's death.
Ning Shuyan's mood became increasingly heavy. What had the villagers in Yanmiao Village done wrong? Why should we suffer such a thing?
They just want to live a comfortable and peaceful life. Is this wrong?
"The tragedy in Yanmiao Village has happened. Miss Ning, please don't worry too much." Su Yi comforted softly when she saw that Ning Shuyan clenched her fists and was on the verge of explosion.
After a long time, Ning Shuyan was able to withdraw from her emotions. She looked at Hua Ruxue, who looked calm, and felt ashamed in her heart. As the eldest of the three, she was not as good as Su Yi, not even Xiaoxue.
She really needs to cultivate her mind and hone her mind more.
