I don’t know if it was because of Shu Jue’s presence that the night passed extremely peacefully.
Suspecting that a barrier had been set up around the village by monsters, Shu Jue used her spiritual sense to explore everywhere. In the end, she could feel any strange aura, let alone a barrier.
If Shujue hadn't entered the village by accident at night, Shujue would have left directly after passing by during the day.
Mother and daughter Zhen had a dreamless night, and woke up in rare good spirits the next day. Yesterday they promised Shu Jue to take her around, and after eating the food prepared by Shu Jue today, they were ready to go out.
Shujue didn't let Zhenniang follow, but asked Ayan to take her there.
Before going out, she also posted Taoist charms on their house and told Zhenniang not to worry if they came back late at night, just wait in the house.
Their house was at the east end, and Ayan took Shujue to a crowded place.
Different from the village Shu Jue saw last night, Linshui Village at this time is full of people. However, due to the recent influence of monsters, it can be seen that everyone is listless.
Seeing Ayan and others coming over, a group of aunts who were chatting lively suddenly fell silent and looked at them with strange eyes - mainly Ayan.
The look in his eyes couldn't be called friendly, but seemed to be a little disgusting, a little disdainful, and mixed with an almost negligible amount of pity.
Ayan lowered her head suddenly in their eyes, grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and walked quickly through the crowd. Shujue was behind and could clearly see that the roots of her ears were red.
When they were far away, Shujue heard the group of aunts continue to speak, "It's sad to see that they are all dragged down by her mother."
"If I have a mother like that, I'll just die."
"She disobeyed her husband's family and even ran back secretly. She, Li Zhenniang, has been disgraced in Linshui Village!"
Disobeying your husband's family and running back privately? Shu Jue looked away from the shabby hut at the edge of the surrounding area and looked at A Yan, who still lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Although she could hear the conversation just now because she was a cultivator, Ayan must have been listening to it a lot these days, right?
She was not very good at comforting people, so she could only point to the shabby hut over there: "Ayan, where is that house? Is anyone living there?"
Ayan followed her point and looked: "That's the drunkard's house. There's nothing in it." Ayan had never seen that man a few times, but she often heard people say that he only had half a penny in his hand. I had to use it to buy wine, and I was often as drunk as mud, sleeping wherever I could.
During the day, Linshui Village is full of life. At a glance, there are people washing clothes by the river, plowing in the fields, and squatting at the door of the house playing in the mud. There are people everywhere.
Some people were curious about Shujue's identity, so they came up to Ayan for a casual chat and asked about Shujue's identity. Some people just dismissed them as nothing, but Shujue knew that after she and Ayan left, Those people would even spit behind them; some were blunt and blunt: "Big sister, do you know what kind of thing her mother is? If you go with her, you won't be afraid that your reputation will be ruined along with her." "
After hearing this, Ayan couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to start a fight: "You're talking nonsense! I'll tear your mouth off!"
Shu Jue stopped her and blocked the person behind her, "At a young age, I imitated others' gossip. I don't know who Zhen Niang is, but I know very well what kind of person you are!"
She prefers peach pink, and the main color of almost all her clothes is this color. This color is eye-catching in the village, and with her unique temperament as a cultivator, people in the village regard her as a noble person from where she comes from - -Of course, they are definitely not any relatives of Li Zhenniang. After all, their whole family is mud-legged. How could they have such relatives?
"You... you... I'm going to tell my grandpa and drive you all out of the village!" Seeing that Shu Jue and the others could not be defeated, the girl stamped her feet bitterly and rushed into the house.
As soon as she disappeared from Shujue's reality, Shujue felt that the person behind him was like a frosted flower, suddenly wilting.
Ayan pursed her lips, her eyes full of tears, "Xian...Sister Xianren, don't believe her. My mother didn't do anything. It's my father. My father always beats my mother, so my mother came back to Linshui Village." .”
"I know." Shu Jue nodded: "Stop crying."
Ayan was twitching, maybe she had been wronged for too long, and she couldn't stop for a while.
Shu Jue couldn't persuade her, and he didn't know how to comfort a child, so he could only let her continue crying.
After waiting for a long time, she stopped, and Shujue also quit the cultivation state, patted the dust on her body, "Let's go, let's go back."
Ayan: "..." This immortal sister seems to be different from those written in those dramas.
After getting a general understanding of Shujue in Linshui Village and finding nothing unusual, she stayed at Zhen's mother's house and helped her get some firewood to pile in the house.
But strangely enough, Zhenniang said that she came back to seek refuge with her parents' family, but there were only mother and daughter in the whole house, and Zhenniang kept silent about the others. Shujue thought that they were all harmed by monsters, and she didn't So I took the initiative to mention this matter to hurt people's feelings.
When dusk falls, you can see some clues about the strange things in the village.
The man who was plowing in the field a second ago seemed to have seen something scary. He put down his farming tools and ran into the house.
With him taking the lead, everyone in the field stopped working and only ran for their lives in the direction of the house.
The night fell extremely quickly, as if it was chasing after those people. As soon as they stepped into the house, the night covered the entire sky.
It seems that in an instant, the lively village during the day has been sucked out of its vitality and replaced by lifelessness.
Shujue was meditating in the room, but he separated a ray of consciousness to observe the situation outside.
However, even after watching the whole process of night coming, she didn't find anything unusual, let alone any monster in it.
Compared with the previous incidents where monsters could be directly uncovered, the incident in Linshui Village made Shujue extremely depressed. She had no intention of practicing anymore for a while. Seeing Zhen Niang and her daughter falling into a deep sleep, she took out the communication jade and went to He posted his own question on the forum: [Why does time pass at an abnormal speed in the mortal world? It was obviously dusk when I looked at it, and it turned dark in just a few breaths. What kind of monster could do this? 】
Clicking on Anonymous, after thinking for a while, Shujue issued fifty low-grade spiritual stones as a reward.
After a while, the sound of ding dong ding dong sounded one after another, and Shu Jue quickly opened the communication jade.
In just a few minutes, there were more than a dozen replies below.
First floor: "Did you practice so much that you lost track of time?"
Second floor: "I think what the first floor said makes sense."
Third floor: "I think both of the above are reasonable."
I scrolled through dozens of comments in a row, but couldn't find any useful ones.
Until the end, she was planning to put away the communication jade and go practice, when a comment broke into her sight: "How do you know that the place you are in is really the mortal world?"
