"what happened?"
Qingyan said doubtfully.
Chou Chou explained: "I used my spiritual sense to take a look before, and saw that there was a house over there, but I didn't look inside. Besides, it's normal for no one to be walking around outside in this weather.
Unexpectedly, I visited again at night, and there was no light in those houses. This was abnormal. Even if those men came out to rob, the elderly, women, and children should stay at home. It was already dinner time, so there shouldn't be no fireworks. .
As a result, I put my spiritual consciousness in and found that there was no one inside. But if I moved away by myself, the things inside were not moved. There were furniture, food, etc., and there were even a few tables with things still there. Holding the food which was frozen hard.
There was no sign of fighting inside the room, but the dishes and chopsticks on the table were a little messy, as if they were suddenly called when they were about to eat, and they put down the dishes and chopsticks in a hurry and left..."
Qingyan frowned, wondering what was going on.
The little guy looked at the spoon that was about to reach his mouth and suddenly stopped. He opened his small mouth and moved towards the spoon. As a result, it hit the spoon and it went into his neck. He screamed in discomfort.
Qingyan came back to her senses, lowered her head to see his appearance, and quickly wiped it with the cloth wrapped around his neck.
"You little guy is quite quick to talk. Fortunately, this milk is warm, otherwise your neck would have been burned."
After wiping the milk poured into his neck, he fed him a few more mouthfuls. After feeding the remaining milk in the bowl, he put it aside and patted him to sleep before communicating with Chou Chou again.
"Could those people be kidnapped by those real bandits? Those people robbed them and replaced them?"
Chou Chou shook his head, "It's not like that. If that's the case, why don't those bandits come over? I've seen the whole mountain, and there's no one else except us, not even those coming from the other side."
I always feel that there is something wrong, but I don't feel any bad vibes. It's just that my intuition is not simple. "
Qingyan chewed her teeth and said with some uncertainty: "We won't encounter monsters or formations again, right? Could this mountain once be the territory of a big monster?"
Chou Chou: "Let me ask Blackbird. It has absorbed Moon Night Wolf and other demon pills and knows more than us."
Qingyan looked at Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, didn't you also absorb the Xunfeng Leopard's demon elixir? Does it have anything about this in its memory?"
Yuan Bao shook his head and sent a message to her: "No, in Xunfeng Leopard's memory except for training and fighting with Moon Wolf, there is basically nothing else."
The child fell asleep quickly after eating and drinking. After a few pats, he fell asleep. She first put him on a seat aside and surrounded him with a quilt. She spread the bedding underneath and put away the bedding before putting the table on the table before eating. Woke up.
After laying out the mattress, I took off the quilt, gently took the child down and placed him in the quilt. He put some charcoal in the charcoal stove and put a copper kettle. When the water is hot, there will be some steam, so that there will be no water in the carriage. Too dry.
She doesn't need to worry about the fire outside. The Fang family and his son will take care of it. The charcoal is outside, so you can just take it when you add it.
She also used her spiritual consciousness to look at Chen Shijin and the others. They also ate hot dry food and drank boiled snow water, which was a bit inconsistent with his temperament. He looked like an inexperienced young man. Unexpectedly, he was quite capable. Hard-working.
The old lady had never made a sound, and she didn't know if she couldn't speak. Otherwise, even if she cherished her words like gold, she wouldn't have been able to remain silent forever.
When she heard Chen Shijin call her mother, she thought she was his grandma, probably an old lady.
After eating, the two women drank two soups and got into the carriage. The coachman added some charcoal to the fires on both sides, took out the bedding and lay down in his temporary tent.
In addition to the voices not far away, there was the sound of burning charcoal. Qingyan blew out the oil lamp and lay down with Yuanbao. Only then did Chou Chou come out of the space.
"What did Blackbird say?" Qingyan asked via voice transmission.
Chou Chou: "Blackbird said that this place is too far away from Yueye Wolf's territory, and after so many years, it doesn't know the situation here.
Blackbird has recently been studying the formation books left by Kongxian Taoist, so I just took it for a walk in the mountains, and I really found traces of the formation.
It has nothing to do with Kongxian Taoist. It appeared recently. It said it should be a devouring formation. There were no traces of people or animals around. I saw many empty caves and empty bird's nests with my spiritual consciousness. It was probably They were all sucked into the formation.
This kind of formation is recorded in the books of Taoist Kongxian. It is a formation commonly used by evil cultivators. It is used to swallow up other people's luck or vitality, and then strengthen itself, or provide for the operation of the formation.
It's just a record, but no way to crack it. Let's get up and leave as soon as we get up tomorrow morning. I feel it's very unsafe here, but don't let us get trapped in it. "
Qingyan asked the direction with some curiosity, and also explored it with her spiritual sense. As expected, there were only a few empty thatched houses there, and there was a path in front of the houses. The snow had been swept to both sides, indicating that those people had disappeared in the past two days. thing.
I looked in several rooms and found nothing. Everything inside was neat and tidy, as if the owner just went out for a while and might come back at any time.
Chou Chou: "Stop looking and go to bed quickly. We can't solve it, so why not leave early tomorrow?"
Although it is an ancient ferocious beast, it does not dare to overestimate it. Not to mention that it is not in its heyday, even in its heyday it is not invincible. It cannot even be a good person, let alone other things, it is still very self-aware. of.
Moreover, it is a ferocious beast, and it is good even if it doesn't do bad things. It doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. If it weren't for Yanyan, it wouldn't even take her to investigate.
Qingyan also knows this. She wants to do something good, but she won't overestimate her ability and force herself to do so. She will still be patient when she should.
…
"Yanyan, Yanyan! Get up quickly, something happened!"
Qingyan was awakened by Chou Chou's continued voice. She opened her eyes drowsily, but the surroundings were still dark.
"Are you awake? Something happened. Those people were confused by something, and they all headed that way."
The ugly voice sounded again.
Qingyan had just woken up, and her reaction was a little slow for a while. She digested the content of its words before she woke up.
He quickly took out the spirit stone, and the car suddenly lit up, "Who do you think was confused?"
Chou Chou: "Those people outside, except for the few here on our side, probably because I put some pressure on the surroundings, the other people, including the bodyguards, all went to the formation as if they were sleepwalking!"
Qingyan quickly probed out her consciousness and found that those people were walking straight up the mountain one by one, as if they had no souls.
She put on her clothes and was about to get out of the car, but Chou Chou stopped her, "Wait, Lingshi."
Qingyan nodded, she almost forgot, took out the flint and lit the oil lamp, and then walked out of the carriage wearing a big cloak.
Fang Dayou and the Chen family's coachman who were sleeping outside sat up when they heard the noise. When Fang Dayou saw her coming out, he thought she was going for convenience. Just as he was about to pretend he didn't notice and lie back down, Qingyan stopped him.
"Brother Fang, wake up Uncle Fang quickly, something happened!"
"What's wrong?" Fang Zhengyi's voice came from inside the carriage.
He didn't dare to sleep at all in the wilderness, he was always alert, and he woke up immediately when he heard Qingyan's voice.
Chen Shijin also got out of the carriage. He was too cold to sleep. Mrs. Tang had already been cold and was about to change the hot water again.
Qingyan pointed to the left and let them see for themselves.
There is a moon today, shining brightly on the snow.
A few people walked to the official road and looked to the west. They saw a dark group of people walking up the mountain, standing tall and silent. It was strange to see them in the middle of the night.
Chen Shijin rubbed his arms and said with chattering teeth: "He, what happened to them? Why are they all going up the mountain? Could it be that they were hijacked by bandits?"
Fang Dayou and Fang Zhengyi frowned, "It doesn't look like they were all the people who walked together during the day. They didn't see the bandits, but they seemed to be fascinated by something."
The driver of the Chen family also said: "I heard that there are many spirits in the mountains. Isn't this the kind of spirit that is good at confusing people?"
Qingyan glanced at them appreciatively. They were all experienced people. In comparison, Chen Shijin seemed very simple.
The innocent Chen Shijin spoke again: "Why are we okay? Could it be that the monsters didn't notice us? So what should we do now? Follow us?"
Several people looked at him with speechless expressions on their faces.
At this time, it's too late to hide, so you move forward. Isn't it stupid?
But it didn't seem good to let so many people be deceived and do nothing. Fang Zhengyi took out a whistle from his arms and blew it hard.
The sound was very sharp, a bit like the cry of a raptor. Qingyan looked over there. Those people seemed to pause for a moment, and then moved on.
It seemed that the sound had an impact on them. Qingyan went directly to the car and brought out a copper basin and handed it to Fang Dayou along with a short wooden stick.
"Brother Fang, chase after me and knock harder to see if it works. By the way, plug your ears."
Then he tore some cotton, rolled it into two small balls and put them in his ears.
Fang Da nodded, and ran towards those people with the copper basin. Qingyan asked Chou Chou to keep an eye on her, and rescue Fang Dayou if there was any danger. As for the others, just do what they can.
Mainly because she didn't know how to get those people back. If Fang Zhengyi hadn't blown the whistle and those people paused just now, she wouldn't have been able to think of this method.
Fortunately, they were woken up. If she had moved quietly by herself, she wouldn't have known where to start. Moreover, there were children in the car, so she couldn't follow them to the mountains.
Just as he thought about the child, Fang Dayou heard the sound of knocking on the basin, and then the child's cry came from the car.
She hurriedly ran towards the carriage, and Chen Shijin also ran back behind her, probably because he was worried about his mother.
As soon as Qingyan entered the carriage, she saw Yuanbao patting the child with his tail, but the little kid was frightened by the sudden sound, so it didn't work at all.
She picked up the child and hugged her face tightly. The child felt a sense of security and cried less.
While patting the child, she used her consciousness to look inside the carriage next to her. Sure enough, the old lady was also awake, sitting up and groping to light the oil lamp.
Chen Shijin returned to the carriage and saw that his mother was also awake, so he told her about the scene outside.
After hearing this, the old lady trembled and said, "I'm afraid I encountered an immortal family..."
Qingyan opened her eyes wide in surprise, not only because the old lady could speak, but also because of her voice and the content of her words.
Her voice, how should I put it, was like sandpaper, hoarse and rough, which made people feel uncomfortable and made them subconsciously want to clear their throat.
And the content of her words seemed like she was familiar with this situation, or at least had encountered it before.
"Mom, what kind of fairy are you talking about? Are they the spirits in the mountains?"
Chen Shijin asked doubtfully.
"Don't talk nonsense. The Immortal family is on top and the child is still young. Don't be surprised if there are strange things. Don't be surprised if there are strange things..."
The old lady scolded her son, knelt down quickly, put her palms together and muttered something.
Qingyan looked at her like that, she looked like the superstitious old lady on TV, she was still deeply superstitious.
Of course, some of these things do exist, but there is no need to offer them as gods. After all, some of them are not good and are specifically designed to harm people.
Qingyan adjusted her position while holding the child, and sat on the seat next to her, ready to listen to what the old lady had to say, and maybe find some clues one day.
She had lit an oil lamp and put it in the carriage just before going out, so the inside was bright, just to be afraid that the child would suddenly wake up and it would be dark and even more frightened.
I heard the voice of the old lady in the next car again: "The immortals are the Fox Fairy and Wong Tai Sin. When they need someone to do something, they will use this method to summon..."
Although she said it more euphemistically, Qingyan still understood. She was talking about foxes and weasels. They prefer to lure people up the mountain in the middle of the night, but she didn't know if those two were the ones up here.
If it is these two, Chou Chou should be able to handle it if his Taoism is not too high. Of course, if the opponent is already very high, then he still has to weigh it.
She put her consciousness on the mountain and looked at the people who were fascinated on the mountain. She found that some people were awakened by the sound of Fang Dayou banging pots. For example, some young adults and those skilled bodyguards all woke up. Now he is helping to drag the old, weak, women and children down the mountain.
Qingyan used her consciousness to explore the previous Orion's village. She always felt that the unknown thing was there. It was an intuition.
Sure enough, she found a small black figure in front of a house. If she hadn't used her spiritual sense, she would have ignored it with the naked eye. The figure was only the size of a palm, with a round head and two round ears. Standing upright with one paw wrapped around his chest, he looks like Jerry in the cartoon.
This...is this a rat spirit?
wrong! The color is wrong. This one is golden. Is it a golden-haired mouse spirit?
Just as she was guessing, the little thing suddenly disappeared in a flash, and then a Chou Chou voice came over: "I found it, it's a yellow-skinned one that has become a sperm."
"Ah? What kind of yellow guy?"
Qingyan didn't react for a moment, and then she thought that Huang Pizi was a weasel. It turned out that that one was a weasel. Why was it different from what she had seen before?
