Chapter 140 Zhaojia Village
After Qing Yanrou finished speaking, she turned around and left, regardless of the old lady behind her who stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning after hearing her words.
When she came to her senses and reached out to call them, Qing Yanrou and the others had already walked away. She could only see their blurry backs with her cloudy eyes.
He retracted the weapon that was suspended in the air tremblingly, slowly closed the half-open door, and dragged his body back to the room.
Her legs suddenly twitched and the pain was unbearable. She had no choice but to support herself on the wall with one hand and pounded her legs with a fist with the other hand, sighing:
"Retribution, it's all retribution..."
On the other side, the four of them were on their way back to the hotel.
"Idol, did you see something?"
Zhang Linger looked at her curiously and asked in confusion.
"Well, I can't see anything else, except that their entire village is full of sins."
Her face was cold, her voice even colder, and her words silenced the other three.
Taoist Master Xie Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, oh, I'm really getting old.
I could only see the surface, but I didn't expect she could see so much.
However, they even felt happy in their hearts that Xuanmen had a rising star. As long as Xuanmen would not be bullied after they were all buried in the earth, they, the old men, would feel relieved.
…
The next morning, after having breakfast in the town, the group set off to the deserted Zhaojia Village in the southwest.
The road leading to the mountains is still a rugged mountain road. It rains a lot in the south in summer, not to mention Yunzhen, which is located on the Tropic of Cancer.
It rained again last night, making the roads muddy.
Fortunately, they have been practicing for many years, so this is not very difficult for them.
"When I went to dinner yesterday, I heard people in town talking about how spooky this place was. But since we arrived here yesterday, I haven't heard any women or children crying."
A man in the team who looked to be around 27 or 28 spoke. He was the oldest among them except for Taoist Master Jie Yun.
But his cultivation is mediocre.
"You haven't inquired clearly. The people in the town are obviously fine. This only happens every three days. It happened two days before we arrived, and yesterday was only the third day. So..."
Shang Qi suddenly stopped talking midway through his words, and the others were also stunned when they heard what he said.
If it was true as the people in the town said, then they would hear the crying again today, but they didn't know when it would happen.
"Shang Qi, do you know when this crying started?"
Qing Yanrou, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.
"I asked. It lasted from six in the afternoon until six the next morning."
It lasted for twelve hours, and it was during a time when the yin energy was relatively strong.
"The information you got was very useful, good!"
Shang Qi was so happy to hear his idol praising him.
Han Dong, who was standing by, felt a little sad when he saw that his junior fellow apprentice was so happy about such a small thing that he almost lost his mind.
Even towards his senior brother who had taken care of him since childhood, he had never seen him admire him so much.
He patted his head unhappily and motioned him to look down at the road.
"Idol, that sound won't be heard until 6pm. If we go in now, won't we get anything?"
Zhang Linger, who was walking in front of Qing Yanrou, turned around and asked in confusion.
"Do you lack confidence in yourself or in me? Watch the road carefully."
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Linger. Why did this girl, who usually looked so confident, become so unsure of herself at this moment?
"Here we are. This is it."
Zhang Linger was about to explain when she heard the voices of two special department staff members leading the way, so she quickly walked over to them.
"Several times we came here before, we could only walk here. If we went further, there was no road ahead."
"How far is it from here to Zhaojia Village?"
The temperature in the mountains is low and foggy in the early morning, but the fog ahead is particularly thick. It is a vast expanse of white and nothing can be seen clearly.
However, none of them felt anything was wrong, except Chu Tingbai and Qing Yanrou, who frowned and pursed their lips.
"According to the base map, we are now at the top of the mountain. We only need to go over here and continue forward for about ten minutes to reach our destination."
Although the people from the special department said this, no matter how many times they came before, they had never entered Zhaojia Village.
So they only knew the way to Zhaojia Village from the base map.
"Follow closely in pairs, and make sure those around you don't fall behind."
Looking at the thick fog in front of her that made it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face, Qing Yanrou frowned slightly and gave them instructions.
Zhang Ling'er originally wanted to be with her idol, but Chu Tingbai was with her, so she had to go to Taoist Jie Yun.
"Why are you following me?"
Bai Yi's own cultivation was not enough, and after hearing Qing Yanrou's words, he subconsciously looked at her, but when he saw the person next to her, he had to give up.
He was afraid that he would cause trouble to others, so he followed his uncle closely. Compared with the two people here, except for the two people from Yantai Temple, his uncle had the highest cultivation level.
Noticing Zhang Linger approaching him, he asked with some confusion.
"You're a little too confident, aren't you? I'm clearly here to follow Taoist Jie Yun."
Zhang Linger felt puzzled. Could it be that this person was too narcissistic?
“Cough cough cough——”
Bai Yi was speechless after being rebuked. He was indeed overthinking it, so he stood behind Taoist Jie Yun and stopped talking.
Seeing that they were not alone, Qing Yanrou and Chu Tingbai took the lead and entered the thick fog.
When they entered, they clearly felt the temperature drop suddenly. Fortunately, no one was wearing very thin clothes.
They were all very close and could vaguely see the people closest to them.
Qing Yanrou's hand was always tightly clasped with Chu Tingbai's. After coming in, she found that there was not a trace of yin energy in the thick fog, which was so clean that it was a little abnormal.
The group had been walking for about fifteen minutes, but still couldn't see the end, and they couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
"Hey, Xiao Liu and Xiao Ma, have you been in here before?"
Xiao Liu and Xiao Ma are two staff members of the special department. The people in the team were a little worried about the current situation, so they asked.
"No, we couldn't get in before."
"What's the meaning?"
When the others heard this, they felt a pang of fear.
"It was like there was an invisible barrier blocking us and we couldn't get in at all."
The two also felt very strange. They clearly couldn't move forward before, but now they could come in.
The others wanted to say something else, but they found that the fog in front of them began to slowly dissipate, and they could gradually see each other clearly.
Looking around, I saw a small village hidden among the mountains not far away.
However, in the village which was clearly deserted, there was smoke rising from cooking fires and the sounds of chickens and dogs making noises.
Everyone was stunned. What on earth was going on?
