In desperation, Shu Lang dragged the old man to the next village together.

The name of this village is Moon Flower, and the village is rich in epiphyllum that blooms at night.

When the epiphyllum is in full bloom, the moonlight chases the stamens quietly, which is very quiet and beautiful. Some dignitaries who come to enjoy the flowers give them the name Moon Flower.

The villagers in Yuehua Village didn't believe what Shu Lang and the old man said. They all said that Huangkou Xiaoer and the half-buried old man had gone crazy, and deliberately made up such a story to make them happy.

The old patriarch of the village leaned on a cane, and smiled even more vigilantly and contemptuously. He said that he had lived to be 70 years old and had never seen a demon, and their village was full of ordinary people. Why did the demon come here?Is it possible to appreciate the night bloom of epiphyllum?

Shu Lang had no choice but to take the patriarch back to the first few villages for a look.

The old patriarch saw the tragic situation in the village with his own eyes, so he started to tremble, hung in the clouds and vomited twice, and when he returned, he couldn't even hold on to his walking stick.

The attitude towards Shu Lang has also changed from being defensive to being obedient.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shu Lang was worried about the safety of Shitou Village, so he asked the old patriarch to order all the villagers to go home and close the gate tightly. No matter who called the door at night, they were not allowed to open it.

Before leaving, he set up a barrier at the entrance of the village, so that if the evil spirits came, he would know immediately.

Shu Lang rushed back to Shitou Village overnight, and seeing that Shitou Village was safe, a huge stone fell from his heart.

Sleep peacefully for a day, and return to Moon Flower early the next morning.

Moon Flower is not far from Stone Village, they are all in the depths of Mumeng Mountain.

Shu Lang thought that if the two villages were to flee for their lives, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled would inevitably fall behind, and the mountains were deep, so there was a high possibility of encountering demons on the road, and it would be even more difficult to take refuge if they were unfamiliar with the place.

So he planned to put the two villagers together so that he could take care of them more conveniently.

He has sent the news back to the Qiankun faction, when the time comes, the head of the sect will send people, worrying about not being able to keep his fellow villagers and catch the evil spirits.

Last night, there was no change in his enchantment under the moonflower cloth, and it seems that the evil spirits have not intruded. Today he is preparing the imperial weapon to fly the disabled villagers back to the stone village, while the young and middle-aged are driving the livestock to migrate from the mountain road.

Thinking about it in my heart, I arrived at the entrance of Yuehua Village in a short time.

As soon as he arrived at Yuehua Village, Shu Lang felt something was wrong.

Although the enchantment was intact, there were bursts of crying in the village.

When I went in, there were seven or eight corpses lying on the road, all of them were middle-aged men, surrounded by some old and young women who were crying.

When the patriarch of Yuehua Village saw Shu Lang coming, he immediately trot forward on crutches.

Before he got there, he began to cry, saying that when Shu Lang left last night, there were still a few men who went up the mountain to collect herbs and did not come back. The villagers were afraid of accidents, so they organized the villagers of Huiwu to go out to look for it.

The people were found this morning, but all their essence and blood were lost, and they became mummified corpses.

Seeing this, Shu Lang knew that it was not too late, so he quickly asked the patriarch to do the mobilization work, half forcing and half earnestly persuading everyone to temporarily live in Shitou Village.

If the villagers of Yuehua Village had doubts about the evil spirit yesterday, they immediately believed in it when they saw someone die in front of them today.

But to move, many people are reluctant.

They have lived here for generations, farm houses, livestock, and ancestral graves. It can be said that they have spent their entire lives here. If they move away suddenly, will they come back one day?

Especially the old man, worried that after leaving, there would be no time for the leaves to return to their roots.

Shu Lang and the old patriarch rubbed their tongues, and there were still a dozen or so families who refused to leave. Later, Shu Lang made up his mind and said that once he left, he would also remove the barrier. When the time comes, the evil spirits will drive straight in, and they are all the best. Chinese food.

Frightened by this, the dozen or so villagers were terrified, and hurriedly packed up and moved.

In this way, it took three days and three nights for the residents of Yuehua Village to live in Stone Village.

Shu Lang's cultivation was limited, and he didn't plan to confront the evil spirit head-on, so he set up an enchantment in front of the stone village, which could remind the villagers of outsiders' intrusion, and set a trap in the small temple outside the village, thinking that if the evil spirit was too hard to defeat, he would be able to fight against the evil spirit. Lead the other party over, and then delay the time with the power of the formation, waiting for the Qiankun faction to send someone to come.

But the trap didn't wait for the evil spirits, but instead waited for Le Yuanxing's master and apprentice.

Xiaoman ran away from home that day, bumped into Le Yuanxing and the others by mistake, remembered what Shu Lang said, and immediately led them to the small temple.

When Shu Lang came, he was angry and laughed, angry because Xiaoman was bold, if he really met a demon, he made a pre-dinner snack early, and laughed like Xiaoman was bold, he is a big kid, very alert.

Listening to Xiao Man and Aunt Xiao Man's description, Shu Lang felt that these days are not like demons.

However, things have come to this, these people went to the small temple, it is normal to be a little more careful in troubled times.

After listening to Shu Lang's narration, Le Yuanxing felt a little respect for this young man in his heart.

In the face of the catastrophe, he did not choose to be alone, but tried his best to tide over the difficulties with Yuehua Village. From this point of view, he could be called chivalrous, and he couldn't help but say: "Patriarch Shu, you have great righteousness in your heart, and you will definitely accomplish something in the future. .”

Shu Lang was overjoyed, and then he said embarrassedly: "You are joking, fellow Taoist, what kind of career are you talking about with my cultivation level?"

Le Yuanxing looked at Shu Lang kindly, saw that his aptitude was good, but his cultivation level was not high, and he suspected that his cultivation method was improper, so he said with a smile, "I wonder if I can let you check his pulse next time?"

Shu Lang was shaken by this smile, and foolishly held out his wrist.

Le Yuanxing was about to grab Shu Lang's wrist, but Xu Xinhen was one step ahead of him.

Xu Xinhen squinted his eyes, pondered for a long time in a grand manner, and then stared at Shu Lang for a while, his eyes were not probing, but warning, which made the second monk Shu Lang puzzled.

After a long time, Xu Xinhen said indifferently: "Patriarch Shu, you have good aptitude, but you followed the wrong master."

Shu Lang was dissatisfied and said: "Master treats me like a parent and child, how can it be said that I am wrong."

Xu Xin smiled bitterly and said, "When does your master ask you to meditate every day?"

Shu Lang said: "Master is very strict, every morning and evening, you have to meditate."

Xu Xinhen shook his head and said: "Your physique seems to be strong, but you are actually weak inside. Sooner or later, the yang energy in the world is weak, which is not conducive to your practice. If you believe me, you can meditate at noon every day."

Seeing that Xu Xinhen was young but spoke like a master, Shu Lang couldn't help but muttered, "Why do you listen to me?"

Xu Xin smiled bitterly and said: "When this matter is over, you can try it for a month as I said. If your cultivation can improve, then tell your master that you have to meditate at noon. If your master refuses, then tell Mo Hanqing , Just say what I said, and change your master for you."

Shu Lang was shocked by this outrageous speech, and asked in displeasure, "What did you say? Who are you? Can the master listen to you?"

Xu Xinhen smiled and said, "My name is Xu Xinhen. As for whether he listens or not, you will know if you ask."

Shu Lang was still dubious, looking up and down at Xu Xinhen.

At this moment, Shen Yiran shouted loudly in the temple: "Master! Eldest brother has woken up!"

Le Yuanxing hurried back.

After entering the door, he saw Du Nanqiu staring at the stone statue, frowning in a daze.

Shu Lang and the others also came in, and seeing Du Nanqiu looking at the stone statue for a moment, he was curious about the origin of the temple, so he explained: "This stone statue is not a fairy from the heavens, but a woman from Stone Village a hundred years ago. "

Upon hearing this, Shen Yiran yelled, pointed at the stone statue with trembling fingertips, and said in disbelief: "She...she became human?"

When the green-clothed girl saw Shen Yiran's cowardly and disrespectful appearance earlier, she immediately became angry and shouted: "What are you pointing at, this is Empress Shi."

"Shi Niangniang?" Xu Xinhen said suddenly, and then glanced at Du Nanqiu with a complicated expression.

Shu Lang pulled back the green-clothed girl and explained: "Shi Niangniang is a fairy who has been enshrined in Stone Village for a hundred years. It is said that she fell in love with a demon prince and conceived a son. Later, the demon family found out that many people came to ask for help. Take away Shi Niangniang's father-in-law and their children. Shi Niangniang and his wife begged hard, hoping that the other party would forgive them, but unfortunately those demons were unmoved and still forcibly took away the father and son."

"Shi Niangniang was crying blood, so she followed all the way behind. Who knew that when he walked to the big river in front, the demon master was probably afraid of being punished when he went home, or he was reluctant to give up his wife, so he raised his sword to fight the demons. The middlemen fought, and at last they were outnumbered. Seeing that there was no hope of victory, they killed themselves in front of Shi Niangniang.

"When the demons saw him, they wrapped up the body of the young master of the demons, and the little boy, put on the magic weapon, and disappeared in Mumeng Mountain not long after. Shi Niangniang stood by the river and cried all night. The next day, someone When I went to the riverside, I saw that the stone goddess had turned into a huge stone statue! Here, it is the one you saw. Later, the villagers felt that this was miraculous, and the other was that the stone goddess was pitiful, so they moved the stone statue back to the village and worshiped it. Here."

Saying that, Shu Lang and the woman in green each burned three sticks of incense, and took Xiao Man to kowtow three times in front of Empress Shi.

After getting up, Xiaoman said in a milky voice: "Everyone said that Empress Shi had an unfortunate life, but after turning into a stone statue, she dedicated herself to protecting people's safety. We come to worship every year."

Du Nanqiu listened to the story quietly, and at this moment, he followed the crowd and looked up.

I saw Shi Niangniang's worried eyebrows suddenly opened a little.

Because he mistakenly blamed Le Yuanxing and the others for being evil spirits, Shu Lang felt very sorry and insisted on hosting a banquet at his home and invited them to drink.

Le Yuanxing also wanted to see the old man in Yangbei Village, so he obviously agreed.

Make an appointment at the time and place, and Shu Lang and the others will return first to make arrangements.

Shen Yiran didn't dare to stay longer in Shi Niangniang's temple, so she followed.

Le Yuanxing hurried to ask the senior apprentice about his injuries. The strange thing was that Du Nanqiu kept staring at the stone statue in a daze, and let Le Yuanxing ask this and that, but didn't say a word.

Le Yuanxing was worried that the big disciple would hurt his head, and was about to hold the other's head to see, but was quietly pulled away by Xu Xinhen.

Xu Xinhen pulled him to stand in the courtyard, then whispered: "Do you know who Shi Niangniang is?"

Le Yuanxing looked at Xu Xinhen in surprise, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Xu Xinchen leaned into Le Yuanxing's ear, and whispered something, Le Yuanxing's eyes immediately widened like copper bells, and he was stunned for a long time before asking, "Does he know?"

Xu Xinhen glanced at the room, and sighed, "Seeing how out of his mind he looks, I probably know it."

Le Yuanxing sighed, then looked into the room with a pitiful and sad expression.
