In the end, it took the two of them three days to reach Qi Town from the dense forest.
After arriving in Qi Town, Tong Leren hid the corpses in a dilapidated temple. After removing the spirits from the corpses, he used a special communication method to notify his employer to come.
While waiting for people, he took out the food and took care of the pale corpses.
Soon the corpses were clean and tidy, and he took out a fake beard from his bag and put it on his face.
It seemed that the look in Tan Manxing's eyes while he was sitting on the beam was too obvious, so he looked up and explained embarrassedly.
"Miss Tan, there's nothing I can do. The world is dangerous, and I have to make these people believe in me."
Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren, who seemed to be trying to deceive others, and turned his head to look away.
The tracking butterfly showed that Tan Zhi had been to this town, otherwise she would have left just after arriving in the town.
After a while, several simple uncles and aunts appeared.
Tong Leren looked at the people who were crying and handed over the list.
"Here's the list, fellow."
After both parties confirmed it, Tong Leren put away the money bag and left behind the bodies of those who had unfortunately died in a foreign land.
Only then did he find the energy to look at the roof, but he didn't expect that Tan Manxing was gone. She looked at Tan Manxing who had already left, hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Miss Tan, I haven't thanked you properly yet. How about this? I see you're not short of money, so I'll be your host and introduce you to some locals. How about you pay for it?"
Tong Leren did not forget the silver ingot that Tan Manxing took out when they first met. The amount was much more than the few copper coins he had just earned.
He has traveled to many places and he is still good at driving corpses and observing people.
Tan Manxing had obviously just arrived in the Central Plains not long ago, and the Miao people had long been rumored to be a very secretive and dangerous sect in the Central Plains.
There must be something wrong with her sudden appearance, and this simple little girl who doesn't know the importance of money is the perfect person to cheat people out of money.
After hearing this, Tan Manxing considered it for a while and agreed.
"Find me an inn."
She really didn't know how to talk to these ordinary people, but she also missed her soft bed after sleeping in the wild every day.
She knew that Tong Le Ren had some ulterior motives, but that didn't affect anything. The treasures she had were enough to protect her.
Tong Leren looked at the silver thrown to him and took it happily.
"Miss Tan, it's great that you agree. I will definitely make sure you have comfortable food and accommodation!"
Tong Le was a man of few words. His personal servant spoke attentively as he led Tan Manxing into Qi Town.
He had already changed out of his Taoist robe and was wearing ordinary clothes, but Tan Manxing's signature purple clothes still made the two of them attract attention as soon as they entered the town, and passers-by all saluted at them.
"Hey, even though Miss Tan's outfit is a little strange, it doesn't mean everyone needs to look at us all at once, right?"
Tong Leren shook his chin and spoke in confusion.
Tan Manxing ignored the gazes around him and followed Tong Leren calmly.
There is no need to hide the fact that she is from Miaojiang. If these people are unhappy with her, the worst that can happen is a fight.
Soon Tong Le picked a vegetable stall and asked for the location of the inn.
The old woman selling vegetables trembled a little, but still pointed in a direction with her shaking hand.
"Young man, go ahead and turn left at the first place you pass and you will see it."
Tong Leren just thought that the aunt was afraid of them as outsiders, so he didn't think much about it and quickly led Tan Manxing towards the inn.
"Miss Tan, you can have a good rest. I'll ask the waiter to bring dinner tonight."
After Tong Leren arranged everything for Tan Manxing, he returned to his room and began to sleep soundly.
Just kidding, that pile of money is enough for them to squander for a long time, and of course he also wants to experience the softness of the Tianzi room.
Tan Manxing saw that he was the only one left in the room. He raised his eyes and carefully looked at the layout of the room. After confirming that there was no danger, he sat on the bed and meditated.
In the evening, after dinner, she asked for some raw meat and fed it to Xiaobai, who was disguised as a bracelet, on the table.
She looked at the little white snake eating happily and rubbed its head gently.
In order to facilitate her journey, she brought very few things with her. After feeding Xiaobai, she released a guarding insect from her pocket and lay down on the bed and fell into a light sleep.
The next day.
Seeing that it was already dawn, Tan Manxing picked up the package beside him and prepared to go around to check the situation.
She paused slightly as she reached the door.
The little snake on her wrist also licked her wrist sensitively with its tongue.
There is someone outside.
When Tan Manxing thought of this, his eyes darkened. He walked to the side, and with a slight turn of his fingertips, a silver ball with a black line flew to the door frame.
Bang!
She exerted a little force and the silver was taken back into her hand, and the door was opened.
The expected attack did not occur. There were only two middle-aged men and a little girl sitting at the door leaning against the fence.
The two were awakened from their sleep by the sound of the door opening, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed for help.
"Lady, please help our village and save my little girl."
Suddenly, a shout was heard early in the morning, prompting the children in the other room to quickly open the door.
During this time, Tan Manxing just stood quietly at the door, neither moving nor speaking.
The two people who had been kowtowing began to kowtow to Tong Le Ren and asked for help after seeing him.
"Young man! Young man! Please save our village, please save our village, save our Ling Village, we are willing to pay any amount of money."
The uncle pleaded with the two of them with an old face.
Tong Leren's originally confused brain was quickly awakened after seeing the two people kowtow so hard.
"Hey, you two, we have something to talk about. Get up first, get up first."
Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren who came forward to comfort the person, and stood there watching everything quietly.
She is not interested in anything that has nothing to do with her junior sister.
However, according to her observation, these two people were indeed ordinary people, but they were contaminated with a lot of corpse qi.
Lingcun?
Has my junior sister ever been there?
Because it took too long, the tracking butterfly could not immediately determine Tan Zhi's location.
She could only follow the tracking butterfly step by step to explore.
"Is your village in the east?"
Tracking Butterfly suggested that they continue to head east. If the village was in the east, she suspected that Tan Zhi was there.
The uncle who was helped up nodded quickly when he heard what Tan Manxing said.
"Yes, yes! Lady, our village is just to the east."
Although Tong Leren, who was standing by, was not a kind-hearted person, he was not so cold-blooded as to make people kowtow at the door.
Seeing that Tan Manxing was interested, he simply brought the two men into the house first.
"Miss Tan, why don't we first listen to what happened to them?"
Tan Manxing had his own considerations. He nodded slightly and quickly went into the house.
Soon the two learned the situation from the old man and the young man.
The uncle is the village chief of Ling Village.
About two months ago, strange things happened in their village.
Someone would faint on the road for no reason. The villagers originally thought he had heatstroke, but at that time a mysterious outsider wearing a red mask suddenly came to their village.
He calls himself the God of the Mountain and if he wants the villagers to be safe, he needs to sacrifice a young girl to him.
In this way, he could help them suppress the monsters in the mountains.
After the red-masked man explained what to do, he turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.
