Dongshan Campus.

At noon, the sun shines.

Everything in the sky and on the earth seemed to be getting very warm.

With the sound of lively drills coming from the school grounds, even the bleak winter seems to have become less lonely.

Xie Qingyun heard this from a distance, and doubts arose in his heart: Is it really just to suppress bandits?

Of course, he is a person who never looks back until he hits the wall. Now that he has arrived, how could he not explore carefully?

He stepped on the path of fallen leaves, and the school grounds were already in sight, but the scene he saw stunned him - it was empty and not a speck of dust.

He quickly came to the entrance of the school grounds, checked again and again, even rubbed his eyes, and finally confirmed that it was not an hallucination.

There was no one in the school grounds, but where did that sound come from?

An inexplicable chill arose, and goosebumps arose.

He stepped in and when he passed the fence, he clearly felt a stagnation like a wave of water.

Prohibition?

A ban on making sounds?

Sure enough, as soon as we entered the school grounds, we couldn't hear any sound.

There was not a single soul inside or outside the school grounds, not even one of the soldiers Zhang Sheng said would drive away idlers.

Where did they go?

Suddenly, a bitter chill arose in his heart: These people may have been taken to Yunzhou City.

But how to bring it?

Five hundred people is not a small number. They will be very conspicuous wherever they go. If people saw five hundred people entering Yunzhou City and then disappearing from the world, everyone would be surprised.

Let's go back and ask Zhang Sheng first to see if we can find any other clues.

…

When Xie Qingyun rushed back to Zhang Sheng's residence, he heard a dispute.

"The pawn ticket is real. My great-grandfather did receive your family heirloom back then, but I didn't lie to you. It was really bought by a rice and noodle merchant. This is what my father told me personally before he passed away."

"I don't care, you must take out my family heirloom today, otherwise I will never be done with you!"

"Why are you so unreasonable? I will accept the pawn ticket, and these fifteen dollars will be used to compensate for your losses."

"I don't want money, I just want family heirlooms, take it out quickly, take it out quickly!" The speaker actually started to cry as he spoke, and even grabbed Zhang Sheng's clothes, as if he wanted to fight him to the death.

Posture.

"What happened?" Xie Qingyun quickly went up to stop him.

The man was pushed away by Xie Qingyun and could only stare at him angrily.

Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "My benefactor didn't know what he was doing. This man is named Zhang Taiyan, and he has come to pester me several times. This time I am selling silkworm seeds urgently to compensate him."

"Oh?" Xie Qingyun said.

Zhang Shengdao said: "Good teaching benefactor knows that the villain's great-grandfather opened a pawn shop before. His family once pawned a bracelet at my house. This is indeed the case. But by chance, the pawn shop in my house failed to open.

At that time, a rice and flour merchant named Wang came and took away a bag full of my things."

Xie Qingyun took a look at the pawn ticket, and then said to Zhang Taiyan: "This is why you are unreasonable. Don't say that people can't take out the pawn tickets from forty years ago. Even if they can, the date has already passed. It's a pawn ticket."

Damn it, if you are asking someone for a treasure now, why did you go there so early?"

"me……"

Zhang Taiyan suddenly looked up to the sky and cried out sadly, "Zhang Sheng, you are killing me..." He staggered away.

Zhang Sheng just thought he was having a nervous breakdown and didn't bother to pay attention. He turned to Xie Qingyun and asked, "Did my benefactor discover anything?"

Xie Qingyun hesitated for a moment and felt that it was better not to let Zhang Sheng know about this matter. After five hundred years of living without seeing a dead person or a corpse, a mistake might lead to death. Then he smiled and said: "I found nothing. By the way,

Apart from these few things, is there anything else strange?"

How could there be so many strange things... Zhang Sheng muttered in his mind, but still smiled and said, "I and other ordinary people, even if they encounter strange things, they can't recognize them at all. By the way, it's snowing a lot this year."

, Mulberry leaves are difficult to pick, I don’t know if that’s weird or not.”

"Why are mulberry leaves so difficult to pick?" Xie Qingyun said casually.

Zhang Sheng said: "Hey, the snow is deep, it will sink as soon as you step on it, naturally..."

"What did you say?" Xie Qingyun suddenly raised his voice.

Zhang Sheng was startled by him and said, "Snow, snow is deep..."

"The last sentence!" Xie Qingyun glared at him.

"It will sink as soon as you step on it..." He looked at Xie Qingyun with some fear.

"So that's it, so that's it..." Xie Qingyun banged his head, annoyed and excited, and ran a few steps towards the street. Suddenly he stopped, turned around and said solemnly to the reincarnation, "Brother Zhang, from now on, no matter what

If anyone asks you similar things, don't answer, and don't mention a word about me coming to your house, remember?"

"Remember, remember..." Zhang Sheng looked at his speeding back and fell into a daze.

…

Zhang Taiyan lingered at the door of his house for a long time, and finally pushed it open tremblingly, then walked in, crossed the threshold, and knelt down.

In the hall of his home, a man in yellow brocade was sitting at the table, slowly sipping a cup of tea. On the other side, his wife and son were wrapped in venomous snakes. They were so frightened that they could not speak. He watched this scene.

Extremely sad, but helpless.

"Fairy, I have confirmed again and again that the thing has indeed been bought. It's not that I won't give it to you. Please let my wife and children go..." He knelt on the ground and begged.

The man raised his eyelids, revealing strange yellow vertical pupils. He slowly put down the tea cup and smiled softly: "If you want to live, you must make yourself valuable. Do you understand?"

At this time, a man wrapped in a blue robe walked in quickly from outside the door. He respectfully clasped his fists at the man in yellow and said: "Master Deacon, I found some older soul hunters nearby. Forty years ago, a man with the last name was indeed arrested.

The king’s rice and flour merchants bought it.”

"Then that thing is no longer in Yunzhou a long time ago." The man in yellow's vertical pupils diverged strangely, "mobilize all hands to find this person named Wang for me!"

"Yes!" The man in blue robe left.

Zhang Taiyan's eyes showed hope: "Master Immortal, you see I'm not lying, can you let us go?"

"Your lives are insignificant to me." The man in yellow stood up and walked out. Suddenly he stopped at the door, turned around and showed a strange smile, "Since it is insignificant, why not kill them?"

As if they heard the imperial edict, the poisonous snakes bit Zhang Taiyan's wife and children to death, and then pounced on him.

"No……"

The shrill cries of grief gradually became fainter.

The man in yellow strode away with a ferocious smile, followed closely by the poisonous snakes.

After about half a cup of tea, three more people came to the house, a beggar, a tea doctor, and a salesman.

"It's late." The salesman said.

"The Shendu religion has no humanity and should be punished by heaven and earth!" Dr. Tea looked at the human tragedy in front of him and frowned indignantly.

"It's not your first day to experience the viciousness of the Shendu Cult." The beggar said expressionlessly. He squatted down and opened Zhang Taiyan's eye sockets. After observing carefully for a moment, he shook his head and sighed, "As expected!"
