The world of immortals is ten thousand flowers

Within a hundred miles of Zhaohua, it gradually becomes desolate. It can be clearly seen that the dilapidated small villages around have all experienced relocation.Most of the rest are old people who are unable to walk.

Mu Chongran looked at those slow-moving, poor and pitiful old people at the entrance of the village, his eyes were full of unbearable.Xiao Junqing patted him on the shoulder for comfort, then stepped forward and asked, "Old man, why are there only old people and young people here?"

The old man held by him turned around, his old face full of helplessness: "Let's go, all of them are gone. Many children are missing, and the children are afraid, so they left. Only us old things are left, and we can't leave. I can't run away either. I'm not afraid of him..."

he?Xiao Junqing paused, and continued to ask: "You are talking about him...?"

The old man's expression changed, he glanced at him, then turned and left.After that, Xiao Junqing asked a few more people, but no one was willing to answer.Scanning the village, he was about to call Mu Chongran, but saw a small and simple wooden door opened beside him.A stooped old man walked out of the door. His hair and beard were all white, but he looked dirty because he didn't take care of it.

"Who are you?" The voice was old every word, but it was extraordinarily calm.

Xiao Junqing and Mu Chongran looked at each other, Xiao Junqing looked at the old man, and said: "We just passed by here by chance, and we saw that this place is extremely desolate. That's why we wanted to ask."

The old man raised his drooping eyelids and took a long look at him, Fang said: "Go back, the danger there is beyond your reach. Don't lose your life just because you want to win for a while."

Xiao Junqing smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, but if you are willing, can you tell us about the things here?"

The old man looked up at him for a long time before saying, "Come in..."

The old man's house was extremely small, and the only window was blocked by a curtain made of straw.The house is not messy, but it looks a little dirty because of living all the year round.The only few pieces of furniture and supplies have long been dilapidated, and the quilt on the bed is even broken.

Mu Chongran watched, frowning tightly.The old man looked at his expression and said: "This old man lives in poverty, and there are no such clean things. If you feel bad, you can just go out."

After hearing the old man's words, Mu Chongran realized that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "No...it's just that this life seems too bitter..."

The old man chuckled, and said: "For those who are about to die, who cares about suffering or not. The safety of children and grandchildren is enough..."

After hearing this, Mu Chongran was speechless.Xiao Junqing pulled him to sit down, took the kettle in the old man's hand first, poured a bowl one by one, and said: "The old man knows what happened before?"

The old man sighed, and said: "Young man, I see that you are not bad people, I would like to advise you one last time, leave here and go far away. If it is late, it will really be too late..."

Xiao Junqing smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, my senior brother and I came here for this matter. It is impossible to go back easily. Why don't the old man tell us what happened here so that we can have a better understanding?" prepare."

The old man shook his head and said: "There...there are no ordinary people... Although this village is not big, it was self-sufficient and peaceful back then. Later, there was a group of mysterious people in that barren land, and after that From time to time, I heard people's wailing and screaming. The young people in the village didn't believe in evil, so they organized to investigate. As a result...no one survived...the people in the village were afraid, so they stayed at home honestly...but also I don’t know when it started, there were children in their prime who disappeared one after another, and then they became adults. People were afraid and left. The ones left behind were also those who had no strength to go. However, our group of old bones , Those monsters look down on them, so they will live..."

"So, you don't know what's in there..."

The old man seemed to be lost in memory, with fear in his eyes: "I saw them once more than ten years ago... They all don't look like people, they are as thin as sticks, and their faces are like skeletons. But they can tear wild animals alive, and they can also emit black smoke. People, once you touch it, you can't live..."

Mu Chongran and Xiao Junqing looked at each other without saying a word.

But the old man continued: "This place is too dangerous, you are still young, why bother to seek your own death. Listen to the old man, let's go..."

Mu Chongran smiled, held the dry and dark hand of the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, do you miss your child?"

The old man paused, but his eyes were already getting wet: "It's been more than ten years... It's a dream... If he is still alive, my grandson must be as old as you..."

Mu Chongran's smile remained unchanged, and he held his hand slightly harder: "Don't worry, old people. After a while, you can call them back. At that time, build a big house again, and your family will live together."

At the end, the old man lowered his head and did not raise his head, but Mu Chongran's hands were wet with tears.

Mu Chongran turned back to look at Xiao Junqing, Xiao Junqing said nothing, just looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Xiao Junqing gathered all the old people in the village and personally cooked a feast for them to strengthen their health, so that Mu Chongran could leave the village.

Standing not far from Zhaohua, Xiao Junqing looked at Mu Chongran, and said with a smile: "The promise is made, and you can't just keep your word."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Xiaomeng on his shoulder instantly grew bigger. Xiao Junqing pulled Mu Chongran, stood on Ji Xiaomeng, and went straight to the barren land where Zhaohua was.

In the village in the distance, a group of old people looked at the faintly passing fire, their eyes filled with tears: "Children... Is there really hope to come back..." Their chaotic eyes were full of longing.

……

The place where they fell was a valley full of scattered dead bones.It can be vaguely seen how cruel that battlefield was back then.It's just that there are many bones, but there is no corpse.Even after hundreds of years, with so many corpses decomposing, it is impossible to be so clean.

After walking forward for a while, Xiao Junqing suddenly realized when he saw the black air visible to the naked eye.

"It seems that they have already refined all the ghosts scattered here. This poisonous mist and miasma are enough to kill people."

Mu Chongran was a little worried, looked ahead, and said: "You are here, you will be in danger, right? Otherwise, I'll go in alone."

Xiao Junqing patted his head with a smile, and said: "I'm more worried if you go in alone, let's go, I can't do anything with this little thing." After speaking, he stuffed a pill into his mouth and continued to walk forward.

When Ji Xiaomeng landed, his small and bright yellow figure shuttled through the poisonous mist and miasma, which was not conspicuous.Xiao Junqing walked in the middle, maintaining contact with Ji Xiaomeng at all times, and Mu Chongran walked at the end holding a sword, always cautious.

But I didn't want to walk a few steps, and suddenly heard a whine.A gust of wind came from behind, and when Mu Chongran drew his sword, sword energy shot out, easily breaking the attack of the demon soul.However, he still had lingering fears, so he could only take two quick steps to get closer to Xiao Junqing.

It's just strange that no one seemed to notice them, except for the occasional demon souls that attacked them along the way.Xiao Junqing seemed to see his doubts, and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, we have already been discovered."

Mu Chongran's eyes widened: "We've been discovered, why didn't they respond?"

Xiao Junqing listened attentively, and said with a smile, "Here we are."

Mu Chongran was at a loss for a moment, and the next moment he saw countless black mist coming towards them accompanied by humming and flapping wings.Ji Xiaomeng jumped up on the spot, and opened his mouth to see a bright red flame.A hoarse and mournful sound came from the black mist, not like insects, but like a human voice.

The two were stunned by the sound. After all, Xiao Junqing didn't have aura to protect his body. He raised his hand and rubbed his ears, and said, "The demons here are not low-level, and they can already transform human souls into demonic insects."

As soon as the words fell, the black mist in front of him suddenly and slowly dispersed.Mu Chongran subconsciously held his sword to prepare for the battle, and when the fog cleared, he realized that they were surrounded.Front, back, left, and right are demons with black cloaks and green eyes.

The demon clan headed right in front laughed sinisterly, and an extremely uncomfortable voice sounded: "You have been captured several times, but unexpectedly, you sent yourself to the door."

Xiao Junqing didn't answer, her face was sour.

He originally thought that if there were demons here, it would only be no better than what he met in Yege that day.After all, in the two encounters, there was only one demon who acted alone, and his cultivation was not too deep.I never thought there would be so many people, so I dared to come with Mu Chongran.Looking at it this time, he and Mu Chongran are here, and they are very kind.

Ji Xiaomeng fluttered his wings in front of them, and behind them was the sword array that Mu Chongran drew his sword to prepare for the battle.Xiao Junqing looked around, trying to find a way to retreat, but it was in vain.His face also slowly became gloomy and dignified.

The cloak of the leader of the demon clan was so low that he couldn't even see his face, but he laughed grinningly: "Delicious and clean soul, although I lost two subordinates, it is still a profit. Children, give me—— Swallow them!"

A strong wind suddenly blew around, and the stench of rotting blood was everywhere.Ji Xiaomeng jumped up, a layer of flames surrounded the three of them, and then suddenly changed into the form of the fire phoenix, and the flames between the wings flew straight towards the demons.Mu Chongran's face darkened, and the sword intent around him became solid, and a long dragon appeared in another direction. At the same time, the sword gasified into the wall, protecting it from the flames.Shaking the sword activated the sword array, and countless sword qi rushed towards the demons behind them with a faint cold light.

When the figures of dozens of demons around him moved, they all turned into phantoms.The black shadows in a row released thick black air and surrounded them.Mu Chongran's sword wall was directly devoured, and then Ji Xiaomeng's flame could only hold on.Because of the flames supporting the defense, the light on Ji Xiaomeng's body was a bit dim, and he even failed to avoid the attacks of the demons several times.

Xiao Junqing's expression tightened, and he was about to direct Ji Xiaomeng to make a move, but saw the thick fog engulfing the flames and directly surrounding them.Just getting close, Xiao Junqing's ears were ringing and her eyes were dizzy.Mu Chongran returned to his side, looked at Xiao Junqing who was already bleeding from all seven orifices, and made another sword formation with his sword, but still failed to stop the dense fog from approaching.

Xiao Junqing pointed at the center of her eyebrows, and the purple mark disappeared in a flash, and quickly recalled Ji Xiaomeng, holding Mu Chongran with one hand.A white light flashed, and the two and one beast disappeared in place.

The group of demons who had lost their target suddenly stopped, looking at the place where there was only a dilapidated sword formation, the leader of the demons smiled sadly: "Escaped..."

A gust of wind passed by, and there was another mournful howl in the barren valley...

In a village far away, someone sighed in pity: "I should have stopped them... just because of a little hope... two young people were harmed for nothing..."
