Chapter 779: The Village Without People

I didn’t dare fly too fast this way, because Xu Village was right in front of me. In order not to make a fuss, I could only fly at a low altitude.

After flying for more than ten minutes, I slowly landed on the ground and then walked towards the direction of Xu Village.

“Hey, are we just going to walk in like this?” Xiao Qi sat on my shoulder and asked with his little feet swaying.

I looked at her and asked, "What else?"

"Don't you make some preparations? After all, this is the territory of the evil celestial phenomenon. If we just walk in so brazenly, will we be beaten to death?"

Xiao Qi's words made me laugh, and he said, "Xu Village is of course the territory of the Xu family, and the Xu family is not allowed to participate in the battle of the four elephants. Don't worry, it won't happen."

"What if the Xu family is bribed by the evil celestial phenomenon?" Xiao Qi seemed a little worried, and even talked more.

"No." I shook my head: "Unless..."

I paused at this point, because if it was really as I thought, the evil celestial phenomenon would be too terrifying.

"Unless what?" Xiao Qi asked puzzled.

"Unless, Xie Tianxiang sacrificed the head of the Xu family as a substitute puppet. He secretly controlled the Xu family, but this is obviously unlikely!" I shook my head.

There is a Xu family living in every Xu Village, and the Xu family is responsible for guarding the ancient tombs where the terracotta warriors are buried. Xu Village was also slowly formed because the Xu family guarded the ancient tombs and lived here.

"Meng Tian said before that the Lord sent Xu Fu to sea. According to history, the Lord he mentioned is most likely the first emperor of all ages, the First Emperor. And these Xu family members living in Xu Village, could they be the descendants of Xu Fu? After Xu Fu went to sea, he really got the method of immortality, so the First Emperor and these famous generals of the Qin Dynasty can survive to the present in a special way..."

My eyes flashed, and I hurried on my way while thinking secretly in my mind.

"In that case, could it be that the person behind this plot is the First Emperor?" I frowned, "But what is his purpose in doing this? For immortality? But isn't he already immortal? Otherwise, he wouldn't be alive until now. Or... is the First Emperor, like Bai Qi and Meng Tian, ​​surviving to this day in another way and no longer a real human being?" At

this moment, I suddenly realized that I seemed to be very close to the truth of the matter. Only a layer of window paper was left in front of me. I only needed a verification to completely pierce this layer of window paper.

At this time, I had come to a place not far from Xu Village, but I did not go directly into Xu Village. Instead, I took Xiao Qi to wander around Xu Village.

I walked around Xu Village for several times and soon found that this Xu Village was very similar to our village. It was also arranged with a village protection formation, but this formation was not as sophisticated as ours.

"Could it be that the Xu family living here is more decadent than the Xu family in our village?"

If these Xu family members are really descendants of Xu Fu, then after all, they have been passed down since the Warring States Period. It has been more than a thousand years now. Over the years, talents have withered and it is not impossible that the unique skills have been lost. For example, the Xu family in our village, Xu Zhengchun said that their family is only a side branch, and after thousands of years, the unique skills have been almost lost. Now all they can show off are the six-line technique and the formation method.

The Xu family living in Xu Village obviously lost the method of setting up a formation. Otherwise, the formation covering Xu Village could not be so weak.

"Such a weak formation can only defend against those little monsters. If there are some Taoists, they can easily enter it." I squinted my eyes, looked at Xu Village and murmured, "This formation is no different from having no formation at all."

"Hey, when are we going in?" Xiao Qi suddenly asked.

I looked up at the sky and said, "Let's sneak in at night."

"Ah? It has to be night? Then why are we out so early?" Xiao Qi muttered a little dissatisfied. I smiled and patted her little feet, saying, "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Let's first familiarize ourselves with the terrain and environment of Xu Village. If an accident really happens, we can escape as soon as possible."

"Tsk." Xiao Qi curled her lips and said, "Although what you said makes some sense, it's only morning now, and it will take a long time before it gets dark. What are we doing now?"

"Wait!" After I said that, I jumped up and climbed directly onto a tree, then sat on the highest branch, staring at Xu Village in front of me.

"I'm so sleepy. I need to take a nap. Remember to wake me up when it gets dark." After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he ran to a tree branch and lay down on it to take a nap.

I ignored Xiao Qi and frowned, looking at Xu Village with a puzzled look.

It was already morning. Logically, Xu Village should be very lively at this time. Although it is located in the deep mountains and old forests, it is impossible to make a living by farming, but at least there must be hunting or fishing, or even collecting herbs, right?

But this Xu Village gave people a dead feeling. There was not a single person in the whole street, not even poultry.

"Could it be that this Xu Village has been abandoned and is a dead village? But it's impossible. If that's the case, Zhao Gao would definitely come here to wake up Sima Cuo in the ancient tomb."

I looked at Xu Village not far away, and my mind was full of thoughts.

"Could it be that it is because Xu Village is abandoned and there are no villagers to offer sacrifices, so those terracotta warriors and Sima Cuo cannot be awakened?"

A few hours later, it was already lunch time. I took out some wild fruits I picked along the way and ate them. At this time, I suddenly found that there was smoke rising slowly in Xu Village.

"Strange, if there are people living and cooking, why is there no one working?" I frowned.

This whole day, I hid in the old forest and observed this Xu Village. When the sun set, I woke up Xiao Qi.

"Are we going into the village?" Xiao Qi asked me with sleepy eyes.

"No, I need to prepare first." After I finished speaking, I grabbed Xiao Qi and jumped down from the tree. Then, I circled around Xu Village again.

When I came to the four corners of Xu Village, I wrote a talisman and buried it under a tree. After a circle, I had four talismans buried under four trees.

Xiao Qi was a little puzzled: "What are you doing?"

"Setting up a formation." I said, "This formation can trap everyone in Xu Village. If... the worst result occurs, I will activate the formation and trap everyone in Xu Village."

"The worst result? What is the result?" Xiao Qi asked.

I pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "The worst result is that everyone in Xu Village will be transformed into a substitute puppet by... the evil celestial phenomenon!"
