Huangquan Roadside Inn

Zheliu Village in the north is just not far from Yuxu Gate. In front of the village is a barrier of green hills. The peaks are straight and steep.

Such a place of escape from the world can be said to be a paradise among green mountains and green waters, and the villagers of Zheliu Village live very comfortably.

At the foot of the mountain, a small stream passes through the mountain, the water quality is crystal clear, like a mountain spring with a little sweet taste.

Bai Xi squatted by the stream and washed his face, while Lu Yao stood behind him and protected him until he got up, with the wet hair sticking to his forehead, Bai Xi looked at what he saw in front of him. It is an open land, with farmland and rice paddies, and farmhouses are also built by the stream, and a few peach trees are in full bloom.

"Such a beautiful place is really rare in the world." Bai Xi sighed, looked sideways at Lu Yao, and Lu Yao nodded in response:

"That's right, there are very few of them. The fly in the ointment is that the village is shrouded in a strong corpse." Lu Yao frowned. Just to be on the safe side, he had already revealed the Feihe knife and held it tightly. hands.

"That's right, the corpse smell is too heavy. It seems that something happened suddenly in this village. It's still early in the morning. If there are ghosts, they won't appear. Let's take a rest and come back in the evening." Bai Xi shot Patted Lu Yao's shoulder, and hurriedly ordered.

Lu Yao nodded, and seeing him walking in front of her, she hurriedly took a step, and within a few steps, rushed ahead of Bai Xi and protected him behind her, so she felt relieved.

Bai Xi folded her arms and was a little puzzled by Lu Yao's behavior, but thought that he was willing to go ahead, so let him go ahead.

After crossing the wooden bridge across the stream, although the footsteps of the two people were very light, but because of the silence of the village, they stepped on the broken leaves, which was extra pleasant.

Zheliu Village is not big, there are no more than a dozen families in the front and back, and most of the housing construction is not the same as that of ordinary northern families. Moreover, the whole village does not seem to have encountered any natural disasters at all, and everything is extremely peaceful.

What is disturbing is that all the people here have disappeared.

"It's really strange." Baixi stopped in the middle of the road and looked around at the whole Zheliu Village.

Lu Yao also stopped and looked back at him: "I also feel that they seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

"It shouldn't be." Bai Xi frowned slightly: "The book of life and death and the wall of the inn can reflect the death of everyone in the world. If you don't arrive at the inn after your name appears, it means something happened and you became an orphan." Ghosts, or being preyed by other evil things, appearing on a large scale like last night, and then disappearing, there must be something wrong."

"How about this, you rest here, I'll go ahead and have a look." Lu Yao looked at Bai Xi's frowning, and said hastily.

Bai Xi looked back at the wooden house built by the stream behind him, and quickly nodded in response. Lu Yao was a little worried, but went to the front alone to check.

Bai Xi pushed open the bamboo door in front of the yard behind him and walked in. There should be some poultry in a corner of the yard, after all, the cages were scattered with hair all over the ground, and there was still a little blood.

The door of the wooden house was closed and locked, and there was a pool of blood at the door. There were obvious signs of struggle on the wooden steps, and there were several paw prints on the wooden door.

Bai Xi reached out to touch the paw print on the wooden door, the groove was a little deeper, which is definitely not what ordinary clawed animals would say, and this height is obviously right for human beings.

Bai Xi quickly knelt down and reached out to touch the dried blood, and sniffed it with the tip of his nose, but was surprised to find that it was human blood.He stood up in a panic, his heart was in his throat, his eyes were full of fear.

Reluctantly, Bai Xi went to another yard to investigate, and the other yard was basically the same as this one, the door was opened, and a little blood was scattered on the ground.

Bai Xi only felt that his hands were shaking all the time. He had been a ferryman for hundreds of years, and he had never seen such a weird thing. The whole village disappeared, but there was only a small puddle of blood left on the scene. .

If he was killed, the pool of blood would be too little...

He subconsciously touched the golden whistle around his neck, and quickly held it tightly in his palm as a comfort to himself. Knowing that Lu Yao had appeared in front of him, he quickly went up to him:

"How? What did you find?"

"The people in this whole village disappeared in a strange way." Lu Yao pondered for a while before solemnly opening his mouth, pointing to the pool of blood behind Baixi and said: "It's exactly the same as here, except for the blood , nothing else."

Bai Xi held the golden whistle tighter, and was also thinking carefully.

The situation in Zheliu Village is too weird, and I don't have the slightest clue, and I don't know what kind of enemy I will meet. Should I blow the whistle and call Jin Hong over for safety's sake?

Seeing Bai Xi in a daze, Lu Yao leaned in front of him and asked softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Bai Xi, who was thinking, was very frightened by Lu Yao's words, and the face so close at hand made Bai Xi take a step back, caressing his chest: "Do I look scared like this?"

"Pretty similar." Lu Yao nodded.

Bai Xi clenched his fists, and was about to greet Lu Yao, but when he heard the sound of knocking on the door from the previous wooden house, he immediately made Bai Xi prick up his ears, and hurried back to the wooden house. With a flick of his fingers, the lock in front of the wooden house fell off Falling.

They stepped up the steps, and when the wooden door opened, a seven or eight-year-old boy led a five or six-year-old girl and walked out of the house with a confused expression.

Looking at the two strangers in front of him, the boy pushed the girl back to protect him: "Who are you..."

"We... are passing by." Bai Xi squatted down and said with a smile: "What about you, why are you locked in the house, my lord?"

The boy and the girl looked at each other, their eyes still ignorant, they shook their heads, and the boy's immature and serious voice sounded again:

"Someone broke in last night. Auntie told us not to peek or go out. My sister and I fell asleep. We were a little hungry earlier. When we woke up, Auntie was not there and we had nothing to eat, so We fell asleep so hungry and didn't wake up until now, brother, have you ever met A Niang?"

Bai Xi looked up at Lu Yao, Lu Yao immediately understood, turned around and went out to find something to eat, while Bai Xi coaxed the two children in front of him back into the house and closed the door.

"I've never met your mother, maybe I went out to find food for you, you have to stay inside and don't run around, do you know?" Bai Xi asked the two children to sit on the bed, and then said seriously.

"Then when will she come back?" The girl looked at Bai Xi timidly, her voice was thin and soft, and Bai Xi's heart was broken when he heard it. He rubbed their heads behind him, and then took off the golden whistle in his hand, Handed over to the young man:

"Hey, before your mother comes back, my brother left this whistle with you, if there is any danger, just blow it, you know?"

The boy looked at the golden whistle in his hand, nodded solemnly, and hung the golden whistle around his neck, and Lu Yao also found food at this time, seeing the two children eating With that satisfied appearance at that time, Bai Xi really didn't know how to say that their mother might have been killed.

"Then what are we going to do next? Go back to Hades?" Lu Yao looked at Bai Xi who looked sad, and asked quickly.

"Although we know that everyone here has disappeared, we haven't found out why they disappeared. These two children must be protected." Bai Xi looked back at the child who was eating food, his eyes were full of happiness, The corners of the lips rose unconsciously.

Lu Yao looked at Bai Xi's side face, and his heart beat faster when he saw the red lips, but he refused to take his eyes off, so he kept looking at Bai Xi's red lips, and swallowed: "It's all up to you."

Looking back, Bai Xi happened to meet Shang Luyao's slightly flustered gaze, and he was a little puzzled: "Why are you blushing?"

"It's hot." Lu Yao nodded and said.

"It's March today, is it that hot?" Bai Xi still didn't believe it.

Lu Yao quickly looked away: "There are two children here, why not set up a barrier, if it is really dangerous, we can also hide."

Bai Xi thought for a while, then nodded quickly: "I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

Bai Xi reached out and pinched Lu Yao's jaw, then stood in the courtyard, closed his eyes and made a seal with his hands, muttering something, but in a short while, an invisible wall of light enveloped the small courtyard.

Lu Yao stretched out his hand to touch the warm touch of his chin, and his lips lifted slightly. At this moment, Lu Yao felt that no matter how many monsters came, he would not be afraid.

Baixi finished setting up the enchantment, but still stood anxiously in the yard. It was getting late at the moment, and it would be evening in just one hour. When the sun went down, when the yin flourished and the yang declined, that would really worry them time.

Back in the house, the two children had already eaten and drank enough. They were lying on the window sill, looking at the farmland on the other side of the stream, and talking to Baixi about what the villagers of Zheliu Village would do every day.

Baixi will also temporarily put aside the purpose of going to Zheliu Village, laughing and playing with the two children, knowing that the sun in the sky gradually turns red, falls to the west mountain, and when the last ray of sunset glow disappears from the sky, he Only then did the two tired children fall asleep after playing.

"As soon as it gets dark, it's time for them to dispatch." Bai Xi sighed, and Lu Yao stood beside him without saying a word.

But after a while, they heard a low growl coming from outside the house, and many disorderly footsteps. Although they walked slowly, each step was extremely heavy, and Bai Xi's heart beat accordingly.

Bai Xi and Lu Yao got up quickly, but they heard more low growls outside, as if frightened, and their footsteps became chaotic, dodging around.

Baixi opened the wooden door, and there were a lot of people coming on the road that should have been quiet. Their bodies were stiff, their walking was slow, and their faces began to rot. The naked eyes could see the rotten flesh all over their faces and hands. They were extremely disgusting. .

They moved forward clumsily, neighing lowly, like threats, like warnings.

And those standing in front of them were the disciples of Yuxu Sect who had already shown their weapons, headed by Jun Gan, who were waiting in full force.
