We discussed for a while, and Huang Yilan raised doubts, suspecting that what Xiaoxue and I encountered was not a real meritorious official on duty, but a conspiracy of the Xuanming Sect to hide the truth.

I can only smile bitterly at this point, how can I disguise the aura of a god? Even if I look away, Xiaoxue will not look away. Huang Yilan is not a practitioner, so he cannot know that subtle feeling.

But then again, I once mistook Lao Mituo for Master Zeng, which proves that I can also make mistakes. If there is no problem with the Immortality View, why did the enemy stop us from approaching on the road? So we decided to reach the peak the next day, and Lu Qingwen

We went to visit with Huang Yilan. We waited near the Changsheng Temple. Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng, two famous disciples, should not miss it, right? Huang Yilan is a very careful person and has keen observation skills, so he also went.

The next day they followed the plan. The three of them went in for more than an hour and came out with disappointed expressions. Lu Qingwen said that she didn't see anything wrong. She didn't see any Taoist priests like Cangwu, and she was sure there were no ghosts or zombies inside.

The purpose of my coming here is to kill Taoist Cangwu to avenge my master and get clues about the jade talisman from him, so the top priority is to find Taoist Cangwu, not to overthrow the Xuanming Sect or to find evidence that the gods have been bribed.

Can I take care of the matter? Since Taoist Cangwu is not here, there is no need for me to bother with the concept of longevity. So how should I find Taoist Cangwu now?

I was thinking hard, and suddenly I had an idea. Taoist Cangwu was definitely hiding nearby! I was looking for revenge on him, and he was looking for revenge on me, so the trap was not to prevent me from approaching the Immortality Temple, but to kill me and Lin.

Mei. He didn't show up not because he was afraid of me, but because it was inconvenient to conflict with Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng. He could only use traps to create "accidents."

The two largest sects in Taoism today are the Zhengyi Sect and the Quanzhen Sect. No matter how mysterious and evil the Xuanming Sect is, it is just a small sect. How dare it enmity with the Zhengyi Sect? So as long as Lin Mei and I go alone, Cang Ming Sect will

People from Wuhe Xuanming Sect will show up to kill me. This seems very dangerous, but in fact my ability has improved a lot compared to a year ago, and it is entirely possible to give Cang Wu a big surprise.

We would only go back the same way after being defeated at Changsheng Temple, so Taoist Cangwu must be behind us, setting up a more terrifying trap. It is very likely that he is hiding in the small village we passed yesterday.

I said calmly: "Taoist Cangwu must not have gone far. He will appear if we leave, so we have to pretend to leave now and hide nearby and wait for him to come back. To make sure nothing goes wrong, Lin Mei and I went to a nearby village

Find him, one by one, and hide nearby to monitor Changsheng Temple, so that no matter he hides outside or comes back, we will find him."

Everyone nodded, and just as a few activists were about to speak, I continued: "The enemy is very powerful and cunning. He cannot leave until I come back. Even if he sees Cang Wu, he cannot take action. I have twenty-four hours."

I will definitely come back once. If I don’t come back, it means I encountered an accident, so you should go back immediately.”

"What? This can't work!" the friends shouted one after another.

I said seriously: "I'm just saying that if it happens, it may not mean that I can't come back. This decision is non-negotiable. If anyone doesn't obey the arrangement, don't blame me for turning against you!"

I have rarely been so harsh. Everyone was silent and could only agree with my decision. Although Lu Qingwen and I had mobile phones, there was no signal here at all, so we could only meet at an agreed time.

I took out all the things that others might need. Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng already knew that this was Xiaoxue's ability, and they were both envious of it. Lu Qiang was even more surprised and admired, believing that we were not ordinary people and might really be able to protect him.

, so I settled down.

Lin Mei and I returned along the original route and arrived at the small village we passed yesterday afternoon. This village is in a small basin that has been reclaimed into farmland. There is a small river at the foot of the mountain on the north side, and houses are scattered throughout.

They are scattered everywhere along the river and on the hillsides.

When I passed by yesterday, I glanced at it from a distance. I thought there were only thirty or forty households. Now I got closer and took a closer look. There were actually as many as sixty or seventy households, because some houses were hidden in the bamboo forest and some were on the hillside.

One side cannot be seen. There are a few women washing clothes by the stream outside the village, a few children chasing ducks and playing, and there are villagers carrying oxen walking on the road.

The air here is so fresh, the environment is so beautiful, the tranquility is full of vitality, and the plainness is poetic. Lin Mei couldn't help but sigh: "If we live here and no one bothers us, you can cultivate the land and grow vegetables.

It would be great if I could do the laundry, cook, and raise some chickens and ducks!"

I feel a little sour in my heart. With such a simple and ordinary life, I can't satisfy her...

Xiaoxue giggled: "I want to give birth to a brood of children, catch fish and shrimps, dig out bird eggs, and run back and forth after chickens and ducks."

Lin Mei blushed: "You just gave birth to a litter!"

"Hehe, more children will bring you more blessings!"

…

It's hard for me to believe that such a place could be the stronghold of a cult, but now that I'm here, I have to go and investigate. If Cangwu is not in the village, then it must be on our way back, so it is necessary to exclude this place. Lin Mei

I couldn't be invisible, and it was easy to be discovered in broad daylight, so she was the one who picked me up from behind, keeping an eye on the intersection to prevent anyone from leaving, and I sneaked into the village invisibly.

Most of the houses here are stilted buildings, and a few are floor-to-ceiling wooden houses with earthen walls. They are all simple and unpretentious, exuding a simple charm. I dare say that this village was like this a hundred years ago, and it will not be too different in another hundred years.

Big changes and the progress of the times have hardly affected this isolated place. The villagers are still living in the same way as they were hundreds of years ago.

The easiest way is to catch a child and ask, but there may be a language barrier, so I will get nothing and become a bad guy. Besides, if Taoist Cangwu changes his clothes, the villagers may not be able to recognize him.

I'd better go look for it myself. With Xiaoxue's super sense, if Cang Wu is in a certain house, she will definitely be able to find it.

I searched one building after another, but found nothing. They were all ordinary villagers. Suddenly I found a stilted building at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the village that was different. Its door was decorated with cow skulls, and a large number of herbs and herbs were hung under the eaves.

There are some dried animal carcasses, and there are some dragon-like and snake-like patterns on the wooden walls. The whole house is shrouded in a faint mysterious atmosphere.

Xiaoxue said: "There are two women inside, one is very old and the other is young. Their mental power is very strong... The old woman went out, could she have discovered us?"

I was already invisible, so I wasn’t too nervous. I stood on the path about ten meters in front of the building and looked at the gate. The gate slowly opened and an old woman with a long stick walked out. She was wearing Miao clothes and a Miao woman’s

Silver tiaras and necklaces, but no festivals

It's so complicated to wear. The hair is sparse and white, the face is wrinkled, and there are black tattoos on the face. It looks a bit like a dragon, but the skin is so wrinkled that it is difficult to identify. The mouth is shriveled because it has lost all its teeth.

A pair of eyes are still bright and sharp.

I can't guess her age, she may be seventy or eighty, or over a hundred years old, but she has a strong spiritual power, especially her eyes that are pointed at me like sharp arrows filled with strings.

I secretly screamed something bad, and was just trying to find a place to hide. Her toothless mouth had already uttered a few weird syllables, and she raised her hand as if she sprinkled something on me. I felt like a lot of very fine bugs or powder fell on it.

On me, my invisibility effect disappeared immediately.

This old woman is definitely not simple. Her mental strength is incredible, but her body is already very weak. If I rush over, I can definitely knock her down with one punch. But she has not threatened my life. How can I treat such an old woman?

A woman took action? So I hesitated for a second and decided to run away. After all, I felt guilty after being discovered.

I turned around and ran a few steps, and heard the strange syllables uttered by the old Miao girl again from behind. Then I felt like I was hit by high-voltage electricity. I felt dizzy, my eyesight went black, and I couldn't help but fall forward, with an ugly expression.

I fell to the ground. I couldn't even feel the pain, and my mind went blank.

I soon regained consciousness, but my body was still unable to move. I heard Lin Mei's call and ran towards me. At the same time, a villager rang the gong and called loudly. Many people followed, and the sound was chaotic.

"Xiaoxue, what's going on?" I was a little panicked. Sure enough, I was a master among the people, but I was knocked down by an old country woman who had lost all her teeth.

Xiaoxue said anxiously: "I can't move just like you. This is like a confinement or shock spell... No, it's not a spell, it's like a legendary witchcraft."

Witchcraft? As far as I know, witchcraft was lost thousands of years ago. How could this old woman know witchcraft?

"What she used was not Taoist magic, Buddhist magical powers, or supernatural powers, but was activated by spiritual power. This must be witchcraft! Oh my god, we have met a real witch!"

A 13-14-year-old Miao girl walked up to me while supporting an old witch. The old witch stared at me and said a few words, quite sternly, but I couldn't understand a word. The girl's skin was darker and her facial features were darker.

Dignified, with an aura of spirituality, he looked at me with some doubts and curiosity.

Lin Mei ran over, and several villagers with knives, sticks and hoes tried to intercept her, but they immediately screamed and rolled away. I was extremely anxious, but I couldn't move or speak. I watched Lin Mei running closer and then being stared at by the old witch.

As soon as he drank, he fell to the ground.

A large number of villagers quickly arrived and started talking, but I couldn't understand a word they said. Some people tied Lin Mei and I up like big rice dumplings with thick ropes, and some people took the opportunity to kick me a few times. This was obviously not the way to treat guests.

The old witch said a few words, and the villagers carried Lin Mei and me to a piece of ground not far away. To the east of the ground was a round stone platform with a diameter of more than three meters. In the center of the stone platform was a large vat. I don't know what it was.

What was it for? The villagers quickly gathered on the ground and brought incense candles, offerings, horns, bone totems, etc. one after another. Some people were holding dragon flags, musical instruments and the like.
