I don’t know how long it took, Zhou Qi slowly opened his eyes from the darkness. Among the cultivators in Xianyun Valley, he had the highest cultivation level. He shook his groggy head and vaguely felt that this was a cave. The force was unleashed, and a fireball illuminated the entire scene in the space.
"Little sister!!"
He looked overjoyed and found the person he wanted to see most among the people lying in the cave. He hurried over to check on Zhou Xuan'er who was in a coma. Except for some minor injuries when he was restrained by a black shadow, there was nothing unusual about him. , Zhou Qi quickly woke her up.
Zhou Xuan'er's eyes were hazy and she said with confusion: "Brother...where is this?"
"I don't know, let me wake up the others first!" Zhou Qi lost consciousness after being knocked unconscious by the black shadow, and he has no memory of what happened after that. Just like the same pattern, Cui Jingtian, Pan Chengren, Chu Wushuang and others were successively killed. He woke up and finally came to Chen Mo. Just as he was about to take action, Zhou Qi noticed that his right index finger actually trembled slightly.
Chen Mo opened his eyes subconsciously, looked at the surprised Zhou Qi and said, "Brother Zhou! Did you save us?"
"No, you guys need to wake up first." Zhou Qi denied. Seeing that everyone had woken up, he arranged several torches in the cave to let the light shine here.
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. The side effects this time were less severe than before. It only took him three days to regain consciousness. At that time, no one was awake. It took him another day to adjust before his body returned to its pre-fusion state. state.
If Zhou Qi goes against them, Chen Mo still has room to fight back. Now it seems that he is overthinking. Not everyone is a polite scum like Li Yanjun.
The first thing Chu Wushuang did when she woke up was to check her clothes to make sure there were no traces of intrusion. Then she patted her chest as if she were surviving a disaster. At the same time, she was also impressed that she could survive intact. Deeply doubtful.
"At that time, Li Yanjun and Xie Xiu had already joined forces in the house. How did Junior Brother Chen fight one against two?" Chu Wushuang looked at Chen Mo, who was also dazed, and was filled with doubts.
During the battle with Li Yanjun, she did not dare to be distracted at all. She only heard the roar of the evil cultivator, but did not see Chen Mo actually take action. She was knocked unconscious by Li Yanjun, so naturally she did not know what happened next.
On the other side, everyone also calmed down. Cui Jingtian first explored the cave: "I can feel the air outside. This is a safe place. I don't know who used the intermediate stone collapse technique to destroy all of us." It’s blocked by the location, so I really have to thank him!”
"Where is that despicable and shameless beast!!" After Su Wanyun woke up, she scolded Li Yanjun. She was really blind to regard him as a reliable person: "He lied to us!! He also wants to kill us!"
"What's going on?" Zhou Qi and Wei Kang asked in shock. Wasn't Li Yanjun with them? Why did Su Wanyun lose such a temper?
Pan Chengren said angrily: "This scum! This trip to Kuyin Village is his evil plan! Lead us into traps and defeat them one by one!" After that, he told his analysis again, letting the previous The three people abducted by the shadow all knew what Li Yanjun had done.
"That's it! But according to common sense, we should be dead, but why are we still alive?" Wei Kang asked a question that no one could answer.
Li Yanjun deliberately let them go? That's obviously impossible.
Ke Yuan thought for a while: "Maybe some senior passing by came to help. I just checked my storage bag and there are no lost items. I believe you are the same, right? The top priority is that we should adjust our physical condition and wait until When it’s in full swing, come back to Kuyin Village to check it out!”
"Still going in?" Pan Chengren's voice trembled when he heard what was coming. The weirdness of Kuyin Village was no less than for him to fight a monk at the tenth level of Qi Refining. Faced with such an unknown, he felt unsure.
"It's not too good to enter, right?" After Su Wanyun vented her anger, she had already calmed down. When she heard what Ke Yuan said, she looked a little unnatural: "In case that senior helps us get out of trouble, let's risk going back again." , isn’t it like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth?”
Everyone could not explain this scene and could only blame the reason why they were alive on a passing senior cultivator. No one thought of Chen Mo. In their eyes, this junior brother Chen's cultivation was low and it was a miracle that he survived. , how could he be the benefactor who saved them?
Of course, except Chu Wushuang, who has always been skeptical.
At this time, everyone was discussing whether to return to Kuyin Village. Chu Wushuang moved and came to Chen Mo. The latter moved his position and said nothing.
"Junior Brother Chen, I saw it all."
Chu Wushuang suddenly said something shocking, which made Chen Mo's heart tremble violently.
But in the next moment, Chen Mo realized that the senior sister must be deceiving him! Chu Wushuang had never thought about asking him this, because Chen Mo once made her do some abnormal behavior when going to the center of Kuyin Village.
Everything was as expected by Chen Mo, and he had already thought about it.
"Did you see who saved us?" Chen Mo looked surprised and easily misunderstood Chu Wushuang's meaning.
Chu Wushuang stared at Chen Mo closely: "Junior brother Chen, it was you who killed Li Yanjun and that evil cultivator!"
Suddenly, Chen Mo's expression was very exciting, including shock, confusion, and disbelief. He glanced at the people who were discussing and had no time to pay attention to them, and whispered: "Sister, are you kidding! How can you say such things casually?"
Chu Wushuang seemed unwilling to let Chen Mo go, and today he must ask the whole story: "After you entered the village, why were you able to avoid the strange hands on the path without warning?"
Chen Mo raised the Bodhi on his wrist: "This magic weapon gave me a warning, of course I can avoid it."
Chu Wushuang continued to ask: "When Li Yanjun asked everyone to cast high-level spells, why did you ask me to use mid-level spells?"
"I just think we should use our spiritual power sparingly. Ten of us can't break through an illusory formation, so that's why I say this!" Chen Mo smiled bitterly: "Sister, although you can't see clearly my cultivation, the Yin Spirit Don’t you know how difficult it is to transform power? At best, I am at the fourth or fifth level of Qi refining. If you think you can kill them with this little level of cultivation, then I will do it.”
Chu Wushuang was speechless by Chen Mo's explanation. Indeed, even if he hid his strength, how could he face Li Yanjun who was close to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining? Could it be...that he was telling the truth?
"What happened after the black shadow grabbed you?" Chu Wushuang still wanted to break the casserole and ask the truth.
Chen Mo said helplessly: "I can't remember clearly! I was so frightened at the time that I threw the talisman and magic weapon behind me. Then the black shadow patted me and I fainted. When I woke up, When we get here, senior sister, I really don’t know!”
Lies must be justified. In Chu Wushuang's eyes, Chen Mo is a newbie in cultivation who has never fought with others. If he can remember the moves so clearly when faced with two cultivators who are much higher than him, It must be suspicious, that's why Chen Mo is like this.
Chu Wushuang looked at Chen Mo's aggrieved and helpless expression, and most of the anticipation in her heart suddenly disappeared. If it wasn't Junior Brother Chen, then who on earth saved them?
While she was thinking about it, Pan Chengren called their senior sisters and brothers to participate in the discussion. Chen Mo and Chu Wushuang gathered around. Zhou Qi said to them: "The result of the discussion now is four votes in favor and three votes against. Do you think you should go in or not?" ?”
Chen Mo spoke first: "I'm not going anyway! I object!"
"Yes." Zhou Qi nodded, and Chen Mo's reaction was as expected: "Fairy Chu, the decision now belongs to you."
"Now the life and death of Li Yanjun and that evil cultivator are unknown, and their whereabouts are unknown. What I mean is to go back and take a look and find some clues. Besides, there is no reason why there are so many of us that we can't defeat two Qi Refining cultivators. What do you think?" Chu Wushuang said briefly to everyone.
In fact, the people who agreed to enter Kuyin Village again meant the same thing. They wanted to see people alive and dead, but they wanted to see corpses. Li Yanjun was the disciple of Senior Linghu in Xianyun Valley. Even if he was really dead, he could never be so unclear about it.
Even though they were a little reluctant, the minority obeyed the arrangements of the majority. After the group rested, they blasted away the gravel in the cave. It was afternoon outside and it was still drizzling. After identifying the direction, they headed towards Kuyin Village. Fly in the direction.
In the thread-like rain, a desolate village once again appeared in front of everyone. Looking closer, the originally blurry outlines of the houses became more distinct. The old locust tree at the entrance of the village still stood there, with dry and broken branches in the gray. The background looks particularly sad and sad.
"The bones...the bones are gone!!"
Zhou Xuan'er suddenly screamed "Ah", making everyone startled. Chen Mo looked closely and found that the remains of the female corpse they burned to death under the big locust tree a few days ago were missing! !
"Maybe it was taken away by a wild beast," Zhou Qi quickly comforted his little sister: "If you are afraid, don't enter the village. You can just wait at the door."
While the two were talking, Su Wanyun's face turned pale with fright: "You... Look, all the doors of the houses in Kuyin Village are closed!! When we came here a few days ago, they were all open!! "
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and it was indeed what she said. The doors of every house in Kuyin Village were closed, and white couplets were pasted on the wooden doors. The ink on them was old, and it was so faded that they could not clearly see what was written. What word.
It is true that they are cultivators, but they are still a little afraid of this kind of visible and intangible horror. Judging from the customs of Chu State, no village in the territory will post such white couplets, but here it is very common. How could things not be creepy!
Chen Mo looked at the curling smoke in the depths of Kuyin Village and swallowed with a gulp: "How about... let's go back."
Zhou Xuan'er's expression was no better than Chen Mo's. More than a hundred households in this village were dead. Where did the news of cooking come from?
This was still what Kuyin Village looked like in the afternoon. Fortunately, it was at this time, so no one rushed in. Wei Kang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Junior Brother Chen is right. One of us has no Buddhist practice, and the other is not To use the magic weapon to restrain ghosts, it’s better to retreat to Xianyun Valley first and make plans!”
"Then what should Senior Linghu do if he asks about Li Yanjun's whereabouts?"
Pan Chengren said: "Then let their senior foundation builders come over to investigate. We Qi Refining monks should not take risks!"
The few people who originally insisted on entering couldn't help but retreat when they saw this strange situation. Kuyin Village was really too evil. Everyone in Xianyun Valley gathered together at the entrance of the village, adopted Weikang's suggestion, and took the He took out the flying talisman and flew through the air, no longer staying here.
Less than three hours after everyone left, a wailing and roaring sound floated from the center of the village, like a ghost, echoing in the Kuyin Village. The closed wooden door opened again, revealing the remains of the house. Broken limbs and arms.
A walking dead woman walked out of the third house on the left. She was still holding a rope in her hand. She came to the old locust tree and hung it on it. She quietly put herself on the rope and opened her eyes because of suffocation. His eyes were fixed on the entrance of the village, with a strange smile on his lips, as if he was waiting for something...
