But then Yan Zhilan realized that she was a great demon cultivator at the Golden Core stage. She had never seen any scene in Jiuyou Dao. Corpses and ghosts were stiff. These things were just like her pets. They only felt friendly when they looked at them. .
The emotion of fear has not appeared in her for hundreds of years, but how could she be frightened by a mere old country woman now?
"Is the state of mind changing?" Yan Zhilan felt keenly that her spiritual state of mind was becoming mortal, becoming more panicked, more sensitive, more fearful, and even her memory was declining.
And for the past two days, she always felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost something important.
"But I came to the East China Sea this time. I am alone. What can I throw away?" She shook her head lightly and shook off the strange thoughts that suddenly appeared in her mind.
After calming down and being mentally prepared, Yan Zhilan leaned towards the door mirror again, but this time there was nothing outside the door, and there was no trace of the weird old woman.
"Is she here to monitor us, or... is she here to see if Master Xu Zhi is in the house?"
Seeing that the sunset was about to set, but Xu Zhi, Guo Sangsang and the others had not returned yet, a sense of uneasiness came to their minds and quickly amplified in the hearts of several people.
After half an hour, there was a sudden knock on the door. Yan Zhilan walked to the door calmly, and saw through the door mirror that she was still the old woman. But at this moment, she smiled kindly, without any strange behavior, and she still had something in her hand. Carrying a lunch box, he was obviously here to deliver food.
"Are they really the same person? How could there be such a big difference between before and after!"
"I only cooked one big dish today, and I happened to deliver it to you on the way, old lady, to save you from having to go out."
Just as Yan Zhilan was about to open the door, she found that the old woman actually put the basket at the door and left straight away.
After another full quarter of an hour, Yan Zhilan quickly opened and closed the door and took the rice basket back.
As soon as she brought it in, the smell of meat rushed straight into her nose. Yan Zhilan was born in Jiuyou Dao. She was not a simple-minded Taoist monk. She usually tasted delicacies from mountains and seas, and was extravagant. But the food made from spiritual materials, But none of them have a fragrance as good as the dish in front of me.
Even though she really wanted to eat, she still controlled herself with great will. After taking out all the vegetable bowls one by one, she searched carefully and found something in the mezzanine.
"White cloth again?"
Yan Zhilan pulled out the small white cloth, which was still covered in blood.
"Never eat what your mother-in-law gives you!"
"We ran out!"
"Come to Nanhe quickly, this is the only place that is safe!"
Yan Zhilan's mind was filled with thoughts, "Did those two little guys write this? Was it Bai Ying from before? What does it mean to run away? Are they not a family?"
Yan Zhilan felt like her head was going to explode, but she was still in a fog and couldn't think of the key issues.
Just when she was concentrating on clarifying her thoughts, the door suddenly opened. Yan Zhilan shuddered, and a chill ran down her back. She turned around stiffly, only to realize that it was Xu Zhi and Guo Sangsang. , and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
She pointed at the white cloth and said, "This time it was brought here in the old woman's rice basket. It seems like it was done by the two girls from her family."
Xu Zhi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Well, we already know the situation here!"
"Really!" Yan Zhilan exclaimed, her face full of joy.
Although there is no obvious crisis here, the surrounding atmosphere is completely weird, and the consumption of mana and the suppression of spiritual consciousness, this feeling of gradually depriving the monk of his own power, is really too torture.
Xu Zhi called several people over, looked at each other with Guo Sangsang, and then said: "We patrolled the village in the morning, and there were not many abnormalities except that there were only women in the village. Until the afternoon , from the mouth of a little girl from a family in the south of the village, I learned the truth here."
Yan Zhilan's mind suddenly moved and she thought to herself, "Didn't I say that I should treat it with caution? Why did it directly violate the taboo?"
However, her face remained unchanged and she still looked like she was listening carefully.
"This village is a naturally strange place that was occupied by an evil cultivator. After we mistakenly entered this village, we fell into the evil cultivator's formation. This formation first consumed our mana and suppressed us. Waiting for spiritual thoughts, it will eventually even reverse our age."
"Those children?" Yan Zhilan frowned.
Xu Zhi nodded and said: "All the children are passers-by who were trapped here. The male monks were directly killed by the evil cultivator. Only the women were left behind by her. They should have other uses."
"Remember the creek when we met the old woman? This river is the edge of this evil formation. As long as we escape there, we can escape from this formation and regain our freedom."
"But what's going on with the fog?" Yan Zhilan asked again.
Xu Zhi said slowly: "There should be a mirage sleeping on the island. It is the enemy of the evil cultivator. The thicker the fog, the weaker the power of the evil cultivator."
"As long as we escape into the mist, we can avoid the surveillance of the old lady. Without further ado, we will set off now."
Yan Zhilan instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
…
"It's getting late, it's time to go back." Xu Zhi looked at the sun hidden in the fog and said in a deep voice.
"Where is the east of the village?"
"Go back first and think about it in the long term. If it doesn't work out, we can only let the waiters from Duobao Pavilion give it a try." Faced with a rule that was most likely to be violated, Zhilan couldn't help but be careless.
When the two returned to their thatched house, Xu Zhi suddenly stopped and said seriously: "No, there is no one in the house!"
The two cautiously pushed open the mahogany door. It was empty inside, not even a trace of a person!
"You two, are you coming out of the underworld?" A vicissitudes of voice came from behind.
Xu Zhi looked back and saw that it was the old woman, but she didn't even notice when she came behind her.
She suppressed the fear in her heart and asked, "What is the underworld?"
The old woman pointed to the right and said, "Don't you two notice the difference between this place and that place?"
Xu Zhi looked in the direction she pointed, and suddenly discovered that the huge pine and cypress tree had disappeared at some point!
The old woman continued: "That is the projection of the underworld here. If a living person enters the underworld and cannot escape within seven days, he will be trapped there forever."
"You two must have strong cultivation, so you can withstand the erosion of the underworld and come here."
Seeing that the faces of Xu Zhi and Xu Zhi were still full of wariness, the old woman smiled and said, "If you think about it carefully, you will realize that your memory has been confused."
Xu Zhi thought about it carefully for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there should have been nine people who entered the island in the first place!
