The child’s face was slightly yellow, and her cheeks were stained with dust. She was dirty, and there was even a velvet flower tied on her head. However, she was a little girl with delicate features.

She looked at the spirit fruit and hesitated, as if she wanted to approach it but didn’t dare to.

Upon seeing this, the wandering cultivator patiently coaxed her with a few more words before the little girl slowly moved to his side and reached out to take the spirit fruit.

The wandering cultivator waved his hand and avoided her, saying, ” &Quot; tell me first. Are there any special rumors in your village? ”

“Yes,” the little girl said after some hesitation.

“What is it?” The wandering cultivator was overjoyed and quickly asked.

“Grandfather said that it wouldn’t be good if village chief’s clan brother still didn’t get married.” The little girl bit her lips. &Quot; that’s why he asked us to stay at home obediently. He has to help collect the betrothal gifts. &Quot;

Married?

Betrothal gift?

The wandering cultivator frowned. He had followed old ancestor wo Qiu and the four elders of the Xiao family into the village later, so he had not heard much about the happy occasion in the village.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he had no clue, so he continued to ask, ” “What else?”

“There are more?” The little girl looked at the spirit fruit in his hand in a daze and said a little dumbly, ” and ... I don’t know. &Quot;

As if sensing the dark expression on the wandering cultivator’s face, the little girl’s companions gathered their courage and said, ” “There’s also a folk song. Grandpa said it was passed down from our ancestors. Do you want to hear it?”

“Hurry up and tell me!” The wandering cultivator immediately said.

The children nodded, waved the Willow branches in their hands, and sang in unison, ” “Yang Liu-er is alive, but she’s spinning a top.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the wandering cultivator suddenly felt dizzy. &Quot; pa! &Quot; his back was hit hard, and he felt a burning pain.

The wandering cultivator was shocked. He looked around in a daze and was surprised to find that he had turned into a spinning top.

The children who had been terrified a moment ago were all around him. They were waving willow branches in their hands, laughing as they slapped them down.

The clear nursery rhyme continued,”Willow, green, empty clock.”

“If Yang Liu-er dies, she’ll kick the shuttlecock.”

“Yang Liuer sprouts, and tugs. [ note ]

After a long while, the children worked together to pick up the scattered cultivators and piled them under the willow tree.

The willow tree’s roots wriggled and quickly devoured all the flesh, blood, and bones. The courtyard quickly returned to its original calm.

Xiao zhongtao kicked open a door, revealing a simple and crude inner room. In the room, a mortal woman in her 20s dressed as a young woman stood up in front of the spinning wheel in fear.

The woman’s face was sallow, but her beauty could still be seen in her eyes. She looked at them in fear and trepidation, not even daring to breathe.

Xiao zhongtao ignored her and went forward to break all the boxes, tables, chairs, and beds. He then dug the ground inch by inch and checked the walls of the roof. At this time, the stunned woman finally came back to her senses and asked, ” “You ... How dare you break into my house?”

“I’m looking for something, you ...” Xiao zhongtao sneered.

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat. Soon, his limbs felt sore and soft, as if something had suddenly sucked out all his strength. The magical power in his body became silent, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t mobilize it at all ... Soon, he and the accompanying Foundation establishment cultivators were all lifted up by an invisible force, and blood flowed out ...

Below, the mortal woman saw this scene and sighed slightly. She immediately sat back down and continued to bury her head in weaving.

Fresh blood soaked the yarn, and the original white cloth gradually turned red ... The woman looked at it, and her eyebrows gradually relaxed, revealing a happy expression.

At the same time, old ancestor wo Qiu was standing in front of an old man. His eyes were wide open and his expression was one of fear. He was making a sound, but no matter how terrified he was, an invisible force still hung him in the air bit by bit ...

???

At Zi village.

East of the village.

A dilapidated house stood alone, hundreds of feet away from the nearest civilian house.

The villager who led the way saw them off at the door and left.

The crowd was too late to persuade him to stay, so they turned around and looked at the house in front of them.

It was obvious that this place was built with great care and it occupied a vast area.

However, there was no vegetation inside or outside.

Qiao ciguang took the lead and walked into the courtyard. He inspected his surroundings, but other than the gloomy and cold air that had been left behind due to years of being uninhabited, he did not find anything unusual.

She then instructed everyone, ” don’t make a ruckus in the village. Don’t force your way in. Don’t attack the villagers. Don’t wear red at night and don’t pick flowers during the day. &Quot;

&Quot; this is a taboo in the village. Everyone must remember it. Do not violate it unless you have no other choice. &Quot;

The group of people agreed.

Immediately after, Qiao ciguang called his junior sisters and Shi Wanli to the side and sent a voice transmission,”What do you guys think of this Zi village?”

There were a total of four people who came to the island with her-Ruan Yang, Zhang Jing, Chu Hanbei, and Zhong Shizhu. They were all in the core formation stage.

&Quot; what’s most suspicious right now is the funeral in the village, ” Ruan Yang said immediately.

“On the way here just now, Senior Sister asked many times who the dead person was and how he died, but the villager avoided the question and refused to say anything.”

&Quot; Senior Sister, there’s something wrong with this village. Perhaps the villagers we saw just now were not living people at all, but sneaky people in disguise? ” A female cultivator with a double spiral bun and a dark blue dress said.

This was Zhang Jing.

“That’s right! Senior Sister, should we make a move and test the waters?” Chu Hanbei, a female cultivator with a cloud-like bun and a light yellow blouse and a pine-green dress, also said, ” if these villagers are not living people at all, then let’s exterminate the evil and defend the Dao. We can also solve the root of the evil in this village. &Quot;

Zhong Shizhu, who had been silent the entire time, nodded, ” “This floating island is related to the grave of the dead, and the grave of the dead is the dwelling place of tens of thousands of ghosts, and hates everything about the living. And these villagers are all mortals without any cultivation. According to common sense, how could they survive on the floating island?”

Qiao ciguang’s expression did not change as he listened to the junior sisters ‘opinions. The junior sisters all suspected that there was something wrong with the villagers, and she was the same in the beginning, but ...

At the thought of this, Qiao ciguang turned to Shi Wanli. &Quot; “Tower master Shi, what do you think?”

Shi Wanli frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said, ” “There must be something wrong with this village! But it’s not easy to make a conclusion about those villagers.”

&Quot; after all, whether the villagers are alive or not is not the most important thing. &Quot;

&Quot; most importantly, do they have good or bad intentions towards us? ”

“We are not evil. If there is something wrong with the villagers, but they do not have any ill intentions, it would be a loss of honor and would go against our Taoist hearts.”

&Quot; from our contact so far, they have taken the initiative to tell us the rules of the village. &Quot;

“Next, we’d better verify if these rules are true or false.”

&Quot; if the rules are true, it means that no matter how these villagers survived on the island, or whether they are still alive or not, they are not enemies. &Quot;

“Otherwise, if we don’t say anything and wait for us to break the taboo, wouldn’t that be good?”

“If the rules are fake, we’ll think about it.”

Hearing this, Qiao ciguang nodded slightly and said,”that’s right!” This was the logic. However, from my experience, some evil spirits are cunning and their words are full of lies and confusion. Therefore, we still have to be careful from now on. ”
