I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

The door opened again.

Shen Mingchao and Xie Chenzhou walked out one after another, and the atmosphere was frighteningly low.

Sang Nian, who was squatting under the shade of the tree, trotted over:

"What did you say? What took so long?"

Shen Mingchao said: "Just a few words of idle chat."

Sang Nian said "Oh" and asked:

"Are you okay? Do you want to lie down again?"

"No need." Shen Mingchao said, "I'm fine now."

Sang Nian curled his lips:

"I can't see what you are talking about right now."

Shen Mingchao smiled, but when he turned to Xie Chenzhou, his smile faded a little. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.

"I still have something to do, you can do it yourself."

Leaving this sentence, he strode away.

Sang Nian looked at his back for a while, and when he disappeared around the corner, she poked Xie Chenzhou:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, are you free now? Can you come with me to Taohua Village to find my senior brother?"

Xie Chenzhou looked at her fingertips:

"Aren't you going to look for the flowers of the past?"

Sang Nian said:

"I asked Liuliyue, and she said that we can only pick them on rainy days, and the rainy season will not arrive for some time."

"And, I don't know why—"

She frowned and spoke uneasily:

"I always feel panicky, as if something is going to happen."

Xie Chenzhou: "Is it related to your senior brother?"

Sang Nian: “Yeah.”

"We don't have a flying boat, and it will take several days to fly there," she urged, "Let's set off quickly."

Xie Chenzhou said: "We can arrive today."

Sang Nian: “?”

Sang Nian: "How is that possible? We can't flash."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy.

When he calmed down again, he could sense that the surrounding environment had changed.

A road sign with the three big words "Taohua Village" written on it stood beside the two of them.

Sang Nian: “…”

This flash went quite far.

Xie Chenzhou straightened his sleeves, calm and composed:

"Let's go."

Sang Nian twitched his lips, "Fellow Daoist Yu, are all you medical practitioners so good at dodging?"

Xie Chenzhou said: "Only me."

Sang Nian: "Why?"

He put his hands behind his back and said lightly:

"Because I'm better."

Sang Nian: “.”

Sang Nian's face was full of sincerity:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, are all you medical practitioners so pretentious?"

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

"Okay, let's go." Sang Nian didn't expect him to say anything, and nodded his chin forward, "They live in the first house on the left."

Xie Chenzhou followed silently.

However, when the two arrived at Wen Buyu's house, it was empty.

"Did he go out for something?" Sang Nian asked puzzledly.

Xie Chenzhou glanced inside the room through the half-open window.

There was still untouched food on the table, and the bench was tilted, as if it had been accidentally bumped into when leaving in a hurry.

Xie Chenzhou frowned.

problem occurs.

A distraught woman walked from the entrance of the village, like a sleepwalker, and didn't even notice when she bumped into someone.

Sang Nian grabbed her and called her name:

"Chu Yao."

Chu Yao woke up suddenly.

Recognizing that the person in front of her was Sang Nian, her emotions surged instantly. She held her hand tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw, choking with sobs:

"Sang Nian, the eldest brother is missing."

Sang Nian asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Chu Yao's eyes were red:

"Last night, the eldest brother cooked a table of dishes and said he was going out to buy some wine and would be back soon."

"But I waited for a long time but he didn't come back. Even casting spells couldn't find any trace of him..."

Sang Nian: "You looked for him outside all night?"

Chu Yao lowered her head and wiped her eyes:

"No one in the village saw where he went, so I searched the entire vicinity, but there was still no sign of him."

Sang Nian's heart skipped a beat.

If someone had been kidnapped, no matter how careful one was, there would be clues left behind. Not to mention the demons, whose aura is special and can be detected with just a trace.

Disappearing like this, unless...

He himself erased those traces.

Why did you leave without saying goodbye?

Is it...

Sang Nian suddenly remembered something he had heard someone talk about.

If kittens and puppies sense that they are going to die, they will quietly leave home.

They will go to a place where no one can find them and quietly wait for death to come.

So Wen Buyu’s illness has become that serious?

Beside her, Chu Yao said absentmindedly:

"Big Brother, do you think I'm a burden..."

Sang Nian interrupted her:

"Will not."

After saying this in a hurry, she turned around and grabbed Xie Chenzhou:

"Thank you... Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yu, for accompanying me on this trip. However, my senior brother is missing right now. Perhaps, do you have a way to find him?"

Xie Chenzhou's eyebrows moved slightly and he replied:

"Have."

Sang Nian: "Thank you for your help."

Only then did Chu Yao realize that there was a young man with an unfamiliar face opposite her.

She didn't care about anything else:

"My fellow Taoist, if you can really find my senior brother, I will give you whatever you want!"

Xie Chenzhou said calmly:

"No need, I'm helping a friend."

Chu Yao hurriedly whispered to Sang Nian:

"Anyway, remember to thank your friend for me."

Sang Nian wanted to say something but stopped.

Xie Chenzhou raised his eyes and looked straight in a certain direction through the void. As if he saw something, he moved his fingertips.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Several people were already in a mass grave.

The sky was gloomy, and there were a few bones scattered around, eaten clean by wild beasts.

At the feet, a thin layer of soil separated the rough outline of the buried body.

It was vaguely recognizable as the body of an adult male.

The tears on Chu Yao's face were still wet, and she stared at the ground in a daze:

"...Elder brother?"

"That's not it."

Xie Chenzhou looked at somewhere ahead, "He's there."

Chu Yao followed his gaze.

About ten steps away, behind an inconspicuous pile of earth, someone had dug a pit of neither deep nor shallow.

A piece of clothing was hanging on the edge of the pit, stained with blood.

Chu Yao's feet went weak, as if all the strength had been drained from her, but she had to keep moving forward.

She forced herself to lift her feet and staggered to the front of the pit.

The pit was not big, the soil was dark brown and had a fishy smell.

The young man in plain clothes curled up inside with his eyes closed, as if he was fast asleep.

There was blood on his lips.

Chu Yao: "Big Brother?"

"..."

Chu Yao didn't say anything else, jumped into the pit, and tried to help him up.

As he moved, his loosely closed palms slowly opened.

A loquat fell into the soil.

It is orange, yellow and round, and not very fresh.

Where do loquats come from in this season?

Chu Yao was silent for a moment, bent down, picked up the loquat, and carefully put it in her arms.

Sang Nian also jumped down to help and whispered to her:

"Calm down."

"I'm calm." Chu Yao said softly, "Let's take him upstairs first. This place is not good."

Sang Nian bit her lip and together with her lifted Wen Buyu to the ground.

Chu Yao fed him a pill with trembling fingertips, placed her palm against his heart, and tried her best to transfer spiritual power to him.

But he did not open his eyes as she hoped.

As quiet as ever.

Chu Yao took back her hand, stared at him blankly, and suddenly turned to ask Sang Nian:

"Is the eldest brother...dead?"
