medicine stone without medicine

Qin Dongyi nodded, but raised his hand to hold Lou Hua who was about to go down.

He raised his hand, and there was a trace of blue spiritual flow around his fingertips, which dissipated like water ripples in the next moment.

Qin Dongyi glanced at him:

"According to the guidance of the compass just now, the Jincheng ruins should also be nearby. But it feels very strange, as if it is isolated by some kind of magic circle, and it can't be seen clearly. The magic circle covers a wide range of places, and it seems to be related to this place. As for The formation eyes are constantly moving, and there are more than one."

When Lou Hua was bored, he would read books. In the situation Qin Dongyi said, he had seen it in some ancient book:

"You mean, the eyes of the array are people?"

It is not impossible to use people as formation eyes, but the requirements for spiritual power and cultivation are high, and the people who are formation eyes also need to have strong obsessions to form formations.

This is a forbidden technique that has long been lost in the comprehension world. The magic circle made by this method is strong, but firstly, it is difficult to find those who are obsessed with it. Disappearing is a thankless solution, and fewer and fewer people will do so.

Although the current situation of forbidden art is serious, Lou Hua didn't take it seriously, instead, he said relaxedly as if he was having fun:

"Whether it's a human or a ghost, you have to look to find out."

After all, he pulled Qin Dongyi and went straight to the entrance of the village.

Although it is July and August in the normal season at this time, the village is surrounded by patches of peach blossoms. At first glance, it looks like some kind of fairyland.

The petals were blown everywhere by the wind, and all fell to the ground, like a pink scroll.

When Lou Hua walked to the entrance of the village, a group of men with weapons came out of the woods on the other side.

The leader of them didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and spat while walking:

"Why does that leopard wander here every now and then? The second aunt's baby was scared and cried eight times by that beast! It will never be safe."

The man next to him sighed:

"Is there any way, we can't catch up, next time we can just set a trap, when the time comes, we will catch that beast, peel off the skin and make a winter coat for Xu Mama."

The two men talked one sentence to another, and when they got closer, they found two people standing at the entrance of the village.

One is dressed in a smoky green robe, with handsome eyebrows and indifferent demeanor.The other has wide sleeves in white and loosely tied long hair. He looks gentle and harmless, and looks very friendly.

In short, not like ordinary people.

Seeing this, the former leader took the initiative to step forward and ask:

"You two immortals, what's the matter?"

Lou Hua glanced at Qin Dongyi, nodded before him, and responded with a smile:

"My brother and I passed by here and got lost. Seeing that there are many people here, I wanted to borrow a place to ask for directions and stay for a day or two. Is it convenient?"

"Yes, of course! I'm the village head, I'm in charge." The man smiled, made a "please" gesture, and led them into the village, asking questions as they walked. :

"The location of our village is not good. No one has been here for many years. How did you two find it?"

Lou Hua has hidden his unusual dark red eyes since just now, he smiled softly, thinking about the conversation with the men just now, half-truth and half-truth:

"Brother and I saw a leopard demon outside just now, and chased it all the way, but unfortunately lost it."

"Hey, did you also see that beast?" Hearing this, the village head angrily said:

"That thing has been wandering around us for several years. It has made people panic, and I can't catch it. Is it a monster?"

Lou Hua nodded:

"The way is not shallow."

During the conversation, several people had already entered the village.

In the village, almost every house is planted with flowering trees, and the ground is full of petals. Men, women and children on the street are all smiling and greeting them.

This reminded Lou Hua of an article he had read before, and those words recorded such a peach blossom garden.

"Hey village head, is there a newcomer here?"

"Welcome, welcome, come to my house for dinner another day..."

"What a handsome little man."

People around who noticed them greeted them one after another.

The village chief went over one by one and explained to them:

"Hey, we haven't had new faces for a long time. They are excited. If there is any offense, please don't take offense."

After all, he turned to look at Qin Dongyi:

"The two immortals are senior brothers, so they are a family. Let's live together. It happens that there is still a vacant house in our village. Let me take you to see it?"

Hearing this, Lou Hua smiled at him, and stopped walking:

"The village head will take my senior brother there, I want to wander around here by myself, is that okay?"

"Of course!" The village head said with a smile:

"The people here are very friendly, Xiaoxianjun, just go around. Come here, brother, let's go this way, that yard is a good location..."

Lou Hua glanced at Qin Dongyi, then blinked at him.

Qin Dongyi nodded, and then followed the village head all the way along the stream.

After the people left, Lou Hua suppressed her smile and walked around the village with her hands behind her back.

It's more like a small town than a village.There is a street full of market vendors, and it is lively coming and going, but Lou Hua always has a strange feeling when looking at these people.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked over.

On the low table under the peach blossom tree on the street, there is a circle of old men, one of them is shaking a cattail fan, beaming with joy:

"Hey, General!"

The rest of the old man sighed.

On the opposite side, a woman with a vegetable basket is bargaining with a vegetable vendor, holding a handful of vegetables:

"Third Uncle, look at your dishes are all wilted and not fresh, I'll just miss a penny. I'll send you two more eggs tomorrow."

At this moment, a cuju flew over and hit the woman's leg:

"Hey, you brats, be careful that I will sue your mother!"

As he said that, a group of half-grown children sat grimacing at him and crossed the road noisily.One of the children tripped over a stone, his knee was smashed and a big red patch opened his mouth and started to cry.

As for the Cuju, it rolled all the way from there, and finally stopped at Lou Hua's feet.

Lou Hua bent down to pick it up, turned around to look at it, and when he looked up again, a handsome man in plain clothes suddenly appeared next to the child who fell down just now, and he didn't know when he came.

The man looks like a scholar, but there is a heroic spirit in his eyes that is often practiced with a sword and a gun.

He patted the child's head to comfort him, and the other children surrounded him and called him "Sir".

Lou Hua looked at this person, feeling somehow familiar, but no matter what, he couldn't remember where he saw him.

He was a little lost in thought until the man stood up, walked to his side, and said:

"Young master, this Cuju..."

"Ah." Lou Hua came back to his senses, smiled at him habitually, and handed him the Cuju in his hand.

He looked him up and down:

"Are you a local too? How do you call it?"

The man nodded, his lips curved into a smile that obviously didn't match his temperament, like a manipulated dummy:

"I'm a local, you can just call me 'Sir'."

Lou Hua sounded funny, and deliberately asked:

"I'm not your student, why do I call you Mr.?"

Mr.: "Here, everyone calls me that."

Lou Hua smiled slightly and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, the gentleman bent his lips at him again, then took the Cuju he handed over, turned around and left with the children.

Lou Hua raised her hand to wrap the red string in her hair, thought about it, and decided to follow.

Mr. took a group of children back to a place similar to a school. The school was surrounded by almond trees. A group of children chased and played around under the tree, while reciting poems taught by Mr. in unison.

full of vigor.

"What are you looking at?"

While he was drawing on the building, a hoarse voice came from the side.

He turned his head and took a look, only to see an old man lazily lying on the sun lounger in the courtyard on one side, looking at him with one eye open.

Seeing this, Lou Hua stopped staring at the school.

He pushed open the door of the yard, stepped in, and sat directly on the stone table next to the old man.

Lou Hua pointed to the school and asked:

"Old man, what is the name of that gentleman?"

The old man shook his feet: "Sir, naturally I will be called Mr."

Lou Hua: "This is your home? What's your name?"

The old man: "You have said it all, my name is the old man."

I don't know which word of these words hit Lou Hua's laughing point, he couldn't stop laughing, and finally he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked again:

"Then what is the name of your village?"

The old man curled his lips and said with a sigh:

"Taoyuan."

Lou Hua: "Taoyuan?"

The old man: "The place outside the world is naturally Taoyuan. It is isolated from the world, and you can forget the troubles of the world and only enjoy the happiness in Taoyuan."

Lou Hua didn't take it seriously: "Forget the troubles of the world? It's just a good name for escaping from reality, and it's not all fake in the end."

"Oh?"

There was a hint of a smile in the old man's tone:

"Then, how do you choose between the cruel truth and the perfect illusion?"

Lou Hua didn't even think about it:

"Nature is the truth."

"Even if the truth hurts you?"

As he said that, the old man conjured up a plate of peach blossom cakes out of nowhere and handed them to Lou Hua.

Lou Hua took it, took a bite, and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

He chewed and swallowed the mouthful of peach blossom crisps slowly, and then said:

"So what if you get hurt."

The old man stroked his goatee and said with a smile:

"But it's a pity that most people are not as transparent as you. They will eventually be entangled in false illusions, and eventually drown in the Taoyuan, unable to wake up."

These words sounded a little silly at first, but Lou Hua recalled:

"You mean, this Taoyuan is all fake?"

"I said something, but I didn't say anything."

The old man laughed twice, and the next moment, he suddenly stopped smiling, raised his eyes, and looked at Lou Hua:

"People in the world are greedy for happiness. This is the weakness of human nature. This is also the key point to break this situation. As for you, you are not greedy for false appearances, but you are limited by obsession. You go crazy for things you can't get. This is your deadliest thing." Office. How will you break your game?"

"What do you think, little Phoenix?"

These words fell into Lou Hua's ears, like a flash of lightning passing by in the dark night.

He put the peach blossom cake in his hand back on the table, and looked at the old man himself:

"who are you?"

The old man shook his head, returning to that smiling look:

"I told you, I'm just an old man."

Lou Hua's pupils narrowed slightly, and she reached out to grab the old man's clothes, but her hand passed through the old man's body.

Afterwards, the figure of that person gradually became transparent, leaving only a kind and smiling sentence in the end:

"We met by chance and had a pleasant conversation. Little Phoenix, we will meet later."

The voice gradually became ethereal, and finally disappeared in his ears.

"Hey, you, why do you enter other people's yards casually?"

At this moment, a young man in the room opened the curtain and poked his head out, looked at the Lou Hua strangely, and pointed behind him:

"You still eat my peach blossom cake!"

Lou Hua was stunned for a moment, and looked back, only to see that there was only one piece of peach blossom cake left on the plate which was still full just now.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from under the table and took the last piece of snack in front of him.

The hand is small and round, obviously a child.

Lou Hua raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately bent down to catch the thief, but she met Chang Ying who was under the table.

Chang Ying's face was covered with crumbs of dim sum, she was about to bite the peach blossom cake in her hand with her mouth open, when she stared at Lou Hua.

He grinned awkwardly:

"Brother Xiao Hua..."

He was pounding in his heart, and was about to face Lou Hua's persecution, but Lou Hua didn't care about why he appeared here at all, and just stretched out his hand to him.

Chang Ying was moved, thinking that brother Xiaohua was unwilling to squat under the table by herself and wanted to pull him out, so she handed him her hand.

In the end, Lou Hua slapped him mercilessly on the hand.

Chang Ying withdrew her hand silently, and watched Lou Hua gesture to the peach blossom cake in his hand, and she felt wronged and returned the peach blossom cake to him.

Lou Hua frowned, took the peach blossom pastry, thought about it, and put it back on the plate.

He squatted down again, grabbed Chang Ying's shoulder, and asked eagerly:

"Did you see that old man just now?"

Normally, Lou Hua couldn't tell the illusion from reality at all, just like this time, he couldn't tell whether the old man just now was a real person or his imagination.

Chang Ying was taken aback by him, she trembled a bit before saying tremblingly:

"I don't know. I've been hiding in your storage ring. I just came out. I didn't notice anything..."

"Then think about it, think about it."

A red light flashed in Lou Hua's eyes, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Chang Ying, shaking his shoulders.

"I really didn't see..."

"Think again!!"

Lou Hua couldn't control his emotions for a while, behind him, the young man was still talking at the top of his voice:

"Hey, you little thief, why are you yelling all by yourself, are you crazy! If you want to make a scene, don't go crazy in someone else's house!"

Lou Hua was stunned by these words.

He slowly turned his head to look at Chang Ying, as if he saw something terrifying.

He suddenly grabbed his collar, almost pulling the child to the ground with such force:

"Even you are fake...you are fake too!!"

The voices of the two were louder than the other, and Chang Ying was petrified. He sniffed, and suddenly opened his mouth to cry, dragging his sobs to explain to himself:

"I'm real, I'm real!"

The crying of this little kid was loud, and Lou Hua gradually became irritable:

"do not Cry!"

Seeing Lou Hua being so fierce, Chang Ying cried even more sadly.

Lou Hua stood up and turned around anxiously. Seeing that he didn't respond, the young man on the side screamed more fiercely.

The young man's yelling and the child's crying were superimposed, which made Lou Hua even more irritable.

He seemed to be held under water, he was a little out of breath, and his ears were full of noisy auditory hallucinations, the voices became louder and more complex.

Lou Hua couldn't bear this the most, so he could only cover his ears in vain.

"If you keep making noise, I will die!"
