Chapter 1384: A Village in the Forest
When almost everyone had just hidden themselves, they heard a sound of "ouch", and then a figure came out of the darkness and fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" The person who fell got up with a curse, looked up and looked around, and then said: "Didn't you say they were nearby? Why is there no one? Are there footprints? Where are they?"
I was stunned after hearing this voice, because this voice... I am very familiar with it, it seems to be a horse-riding disciple, Ma Zizai.
I squinted my eyes and carefully looked at this figure, and then I saw that this person had a waist drum hanging around his waist, two golden drumsticks on the other side, and a backpack on his back. Who else could this person be but Ma Zizai?
"Who is he talking to?"
Ma Zizai was obviously alone, but the footsteps just now were extremely chaotic, definitely not made by one person.
The most important thing is, why is this guy here?
When we left Wang's house, he was still drinking with those dignitaries at Wang's house, and now, we just rushed here, but he actually walked out from the depths of the old forest. Can this guy fly?
Or...
did he use the magical powers of the immortals to get here before us?
Could the footsteps just now also be made by the immortals?
"Yo, there really are footprints. Did he leave early? But that's not right." Ma Zizai was still muttering to himself. Seeing this, I took a deep breath, then closed my eyes and sensed it carefully.
As I released my five senses, two balls of fire immediately entered my perception.
One of them was orange-yellow and exuded a spiritual aura, and the other was green and gave people a very cold feeling. Obviously, these two balls of fire were the souls of the spirit mediums, or something like divine thoughts.
"Brother Zhang?"
When I released my five senses, Ma Zizai immediately turned his head and looked in the direction where I was hiding. Obviously, he also sensed my presence at that moment.
"Brother Ma?" I walked out of the darkness and stopped about five meters away from him. I frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Hey, brother, I found you." Ma Ziyi slapped his thigh and walked directly towards me. I took a step back subconsciously, and calmly pressed my right hand on the Zanling Sword at my waist, and said, "Looking for me? What's the matter?"
"Hey, how should I put it? Originally, I was staying well at the Wang family, but the immortals suddenly came and said that there was an evil spirit causing trouble here, and asked me to come here to accumulate merits. Originally, I was planning to find the Wang family and come here with the Wang family, but when I asked, I found out that Brother Zhang had been here a long time ago. I had no choice but to rush here as fast as I could. I didn't expect that I had been wandering in this forest for a whole night and still couldn't find you. But fortunately, I have found you now, haha, haha."
After Ma Zizai finished speaking, he shook his head with a flattering smile on his face. Seeing that I was still on guard, he said, "Brother Zhang, this is the identity card that Grandpa Wang gave me. You can show it to the Wang family and they will know."
After speaking, Ma Zizai threw me a bronze plate. I took it and saw the words "peace" written on the front and "no trouble" written on the back.
"This is my grandfather's peace and safety card." Wang Wanzhi came over, took a look at it and said, "This is the only one in our Wang family. I recognize it. It can't be wrong."
I nodded, but still didn't relax my vigilance. Instead, I asked, "Have you been wandering here all night?"
"That's not good." He sat down on the ground and said tiredly, "Damn, what a hell of a place, there is not even a little movement, which makes me nervous. However, except for the corpse and evil spirits, there seems to be nothing abnormal here. I didn't even see the shadow of the demons mentioned by the immortals. Brother Zhang, did you find anything there?"
I shook my head and asked, "Did you walk out of the deepest part of the forest?"
"No, the immortals said that there was something strange in the depths of the forest, so I didn't dare go too deep. I calculated the time and you came here by car, so you should not have reached the depths of the forest yet, so I just wandered around the outside of the forest."
"Oh." I nodded, then turned to look at Mu Yunxi.
"It's up to me to decide whether to go alone or with him. But... I can give you a suggestion." Mu Yunxi lowered his voice and said, "If the being sleeping in the corpse field has really awakened, it will be very difficult. Even I am not sure of winning. If you can convince him to help you, then you can go together. The most important thing is that the purpose of your trip is the same. If you cooperate, it will be beneficial. But... after all, we are not familiar with each other. What if he has other ideas?" "
Woof..." Lai Fu on the side suddenly called out when he heard this. I turned to look at Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi said, "This man didn't lie. Lai Fu said that he did come with the immortals."
"Woof woof..." Lai Fu barked twice again. Xiao Qi tilted his head and thought for a while before speaking: "Lai Fu said that the immortal family in this person is very upright, definitely not a demon, and has accumulated a lot of merits. They can't hurt people, otherwise, the merits accumulated in this life will be gone."
Hearing this, I was relieved. I took the bottle of water from Wang Wanzhi's hand and threw it to Ma Zizai, then clasped my fists and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother Ma, sometimes I have to be more cautious when I go out, please bear with me."
"Hey, why are you talking about this? We're all wanderers, and I understand the truth. After all, being stabbed in the back is not uncommon in this world. I understand." Ma Zizai grinned, then squeezed out the mineral water and drank it up in gulps.
"Huh, comfortable." After drinking a bottle of mineral water, Ma Zi took a long breath and asked, "Brother Zhang, the immortals gave me too little information. They only said that there are evil spirits here, but they didn't figure out what they are. Do you have any information?"
I shook my head with a wry smile, "To be honest, I don't know more than you. The reason we came here is because we heard from some mountain spirits that there is a strange village in this old forest, and Wang Wanzhi's brother Wang Qian's life lamp shows that Wang Qian is very likely trapped in that village."
"Small village?" Ma Zizai touched his chin and said, "How can there be a small village in this place where birds don't shit?"
Then, I briefly recounted the news I got from the mountain spirits and wild monsters to Ma Zizai. After listening, Ma Zizai frowned and whispered, "This feeling... Why does it feel so much like being controlled by Huang Daxian?"
"Impossible." Wang Wanzhi denied it, "My brother is a master of physical skills. His blood and qi can restrain demons. Huang Daxian can't get close to him, let alone control him."
"Haha, little girl, what you said is one-sided. There are still many things in this world that cannot be explained, and immortals that are beyond our imagination." Ma Zizai grinned, then turned to look at me and asked, "Brother Zhang, what should we do next?"
I looked up at the sky and saw that the sky in the east was already a little bright. Obviously, it would not be long before the sky would be completely bright.
"I guess that small village is in the center of the old forest. Let's find the small village first, see the situation in the small village, and then make a decision." "
Okay!" Ma Zizai nodded in agreement, and the others naturally had no opinions. Everyone immediately stood up and continued to walk into the depths of the old forest.
This old forest is larger than we imagined, but much smaller than the primitive forest in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Miaojiang.
At noon the next day, when the group was looking tired, they suddenly felt bright in front of their eyes. The dense branches disappeared, and the colorful sunlight shone down instantly.
Under the cover of the sunlight, a quiet village was completely revealed in front of us.
