This night's sleep was extraordinarily sweet. Sang Yu hugged Mu Rong, and Murong picked a comfortable position to nest in Sang Yu's arms. The two girls embraced each other naturally, embracing each other.
In the middle of the night, Sang Yu suddenly felt the person in her arms twist, she opened her eyes dimly, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Mu Rong rubbed against Sang Yu's neck, and murmured, "It's uncomfortable."
Sang Yu woke up suddenly, reached out and pressed the small bedside lamp: "What's wrong?"
Mu Rong twisted his body again: "Hot~."
"hot?"
"Hmm~"
Sang Yu saw that Mu Rong's cheeks were a little flushed, and his brows were tightly knit with a pained expression. He pressed his lips to Mu Rong's forehead. There was no fever but a fine layer of sweat, so she felt relieved a little.
Thinking: Maybe it's because the quilt is too thick, Murong has been complaining about being cold these days, she added a few quilts to Murong, and there are two hot water bottles under the quilt, even she can't bear it.
Sang Yu turned over and got off the bed, twisted a wet towel to wipe Mu Rong's face, then folded the towel and put it on her head, removed another quilt, and hugged her again: "Is it better now?" ?”
Murong's body was still a little uncomfortable, but he was not willing to torment Sang Yu, so he suppressed the abnormality in his body and nodded.
The next day, Sang Yu told her about Mu Rong's situation, and asked Liu Tianjiao to suck the venom for Mu Rong.
Mu Rong solemnly thanked the colorful little flower snake, and Liu Tianjiao huddled into a ball and lay on the palm of Murong, it seemed that losing the dragon horn was a great blow to her.
Under Sang Yu's careful care, Murong's complexion improved day by day.
Several people stayed in this unknown hotel for five days. Murong's three-month suspension period ended, and Sang Tong's mana returned. After making enough preparations, they set off for Yuexiang Village.
Before leaving, Murong checked the old man whose soul was trapped in the diagonally opposite room. The old man died normally, but the time of death was not good, and the bed in the room was placed in the dead position, which caused the soul to be trapped. She contacted Hao Jiefang to help inform the local errands to bring the old man's soul back to Fengdu.
Before the old man left, he thanked Murong a thousand times, thinking that it was not easy to live in the world all these years.
After consulting the dead book, Mu Rong discovered an amazing secret: there is no Yuexiang Village in the dead book!
She asked Hao Jiefang, but the other party was vague, saying only that the place was an abandoned place, and the soul would not return to the jurisdiction of the underworld.
Mu Rong reported the situation to Sang Tong, who had a clear expression on his face: "I think this is the agreement reached between the old director and Yuexiang back then. He preserved the right of survival of the villagers of Yuexiang, but handed over the souls of the villagers. Yuexiang dealt with it, I didn't expect Yuexiang to have such great ability, forcing the old director to make such a big step back."
"It's no wonder that Second Sister Liu's soul has been missing for many years and no one cares about it. However, how could the underworld make such a decision?"
Sang Tong replied: "Don't think that Feng is a clean place, and don't underestimate the power of Yangjian. The period when the old director was in charge of the Special Incident Management Bureau, to some extent, represented the entire flower family. In the face of peace and popular support, other forces must temporarily avoid the edge."
…
The climb up the mountain was very smooth this time, and it took only a few hours to reach the top of the first mountain. Zeng Tianhan shook the donkey skin drum and sang two tunes to please the gods, and the third grandmother came.
The information about Yuexiang Village she introduced was basically the same as what Sang Tong knew, but she also added some things they didn't know.
"Our two halls of the Ma family were transferred here decades ago, not only to prevent outsiders from entering Yuexiang Village by mistake, but also to keep things inside from coming out."
"You mean Yuexiang?"
Granny Cinder nodded, and said with emotion: "That woman is also a poor person. If you save her, go away. Don't try to convert her. If you accidentally wake her up, no one will be able to hold her down." .”
Sang Tong asked: "Senior, may I ask, is this Yuexiang a ghost cultivator?"
"No, her obsession is too heavy, she can't enter the Tao, let alone escape."
"Resentment will gradually disappear over time. It has been so many years..."
A gleam flashed in Gray Granny's eyes, and she looked at Sang Tong with a half-smile: "Mission? Do you know what happened to Yuexiang this time!?"
"Hungry villagers tied them to wind-fixing stakes and burned them to death, sharing their flesh."
"It's far from that simple. Yuexiang was pregnant with a posthumous child. After her husband died, she was driven to the head of the village and gave birth to a child in a dilapidated thatched hut. As soon as the child was born, Yuexiang suffered rumors from the villagers. Her husband After her death, her family's fertile land was seized, and in exchange for an acre and a half of saline-alkali land, the mother and son lived on porridge and wild vegetables all day long. As a result, the child's head was swollen and he was paralyzed in bed at a young age. The doctor in the village felt that the child's origin was unknown. It was a dirty bastard who refused to be treated. The poor child failed to escape the natural disaster. Yuexiang dug a hole on the back mountain with both hands and buried the child. After a few days, others dug it up and stewed it Tang, Yuexiang went to the family to argue with grief and indignation, but was beaten violently. The family laughed and ate her child in front of Yuexiang. How can a woman who has been hungry for so long be a match for a family of five? Yuexiang was beaten all over her body, laying on the ground and swearing that her eyes scared the man of the family, this man couldn't swallow this breath, and planned the next thing."
"Yuexiang refused to admit the seduction to death, so the leader smiled evilly and said to Yuexiang: It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, we can let everyone see how dirty you are, so under the eyes of everyone, a dozen men took turns. Insulting Yuexiang."
Grandma Hui looked around: "Killing is nothing more than nodding your head, can this kind of hatred be diluted by time?"
Anger and shame surged on everyone's faces, and they felt deeply ashamed of the evil deeds of human beings.
Grandma Hui sighed heavily: "When this history is rotten, it will be rotten. The old woman is not a troublesome person. I just tell you, don't try to cross Yuexiang, and don't provoke her. Although the ancestors of Yuexiang Village were sinful It's monstrous, but these juniors are all innocent, it's very pitiful for them to be trapped in the Forgotten Land, if you offend Yuexiang, once she finds out that the human beings who signed the contract with her back then are no longer there, she may retaliate a second time. "
"We get it."
"Let's go, the old lady will give you a ride."
Grandma Hui used her ability to shrink the ground into an inch, and led a few people over another mountain at the fastest speed: "Go, go a few more miles and you will reach Yuexiang Village, remember what I said. "
"Thank you, Grandma Gray."
"Yuexiang's soul may be in two places in the village, one is the wind-fixing pillar at the entrance of the village, and the other is the small temple dedicated to her. When passing through these two places, be extra careful."
"knew."
Mu Rong and the others bid farewell to Grandma Hui and set off for Yuexiang Village.
Granny Hui looked at the direction they left and said softly: "Tianjiao, have you understood the mystery of 'break first, then build'? Cherish this opportunity, Sangu will wait for you to come back."
Tens of minutes later, Mu Rong saw a pillar from a distance, and signaled to everyone: "Yuexiang Village is here."
"I checked Liu Hongde's information. Let's go to his house first and pretend to be his friend to get some information."
"good."
The wind-fixing pile in Yuexiang Village is a stone pile that needs to be surrounded by three people and is more than ten meters high.
There are quaint totems carved on it, the wind and sand eroded the column body, and the totems are blurred, and there is no trace of the evil fire that year.
Murong saw that there were many red strings tied to the pillars, and various tributes were placed on the table, which were probably left by the villagers of Yuexiang when they came to pay homage to Yuexiang.
These descendants may not know the true origin of Yuexiang Village, and these tributes are by no means a confession, but the villagers are following the rules left by their ancestors.
Ever since she entered Yuexiang Village, Murong felt a little uncomfortable, and the indescribable depression made her upset.
She looked for Sang Yu's figure, and found that Sang Yu was also watching her with gentle eyes, and her heart calmed down.
Sang Yu came to Murong's side and asked softly, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Rong shook his head, and Sang Tong turned his head when he heard the voice, his gaze paused for a while on the interlocking hands of the two, and then he moved his eyes away.
Go back dozens of steps, and officially come to the entrance of Yuexiang Village, an antique archway, with three characters of Yuexiang Village written on the plaque.
A man sat under the archway, wearing a washed white cloth, the clothes looked a little dirty and patched.
Sang Tong walked over: "Hi, may I ask, how can I get to Liu Baotian's house?" Liu Baotian is the name of Liu Hongde's father.
Hearing the voice, the man with his head bowed slowly raised his head and smiled "hehe" at Sang Tong.
Sang Tong was stunned. The man in front of him looked to be in his forties, with beards all over his face, and his gaze was dull, especially when he smiled, a transparent liquid drooped from the corner of his mouth without knowing it. There was still water stains on his chest, and his body was smelly.
Sang Tong straightened his body, tapped his temples, everyone understood and continued to move forward.
Not far away, there was a shirtless man in hardcover, brandishing an ax to chop wood. Sang Tong walked over again, and was about to ask for directions when he noticed the abnormality of the man.
"Chop, chop, chop chop."
While wielding the ax, the man muttered something, and then he saw where he was chopping firewood? I don't know who put a section of stake here, the man chopped at the stake randomly, and sawdust splashed everywhere.
Mu Rong leaned into Sang Yu's ear: "Why don't you let Yanyan guide you?"
Sang Yu shook her head helplessly, and whispered in Murong's ear, "My sister's stubborn temper is hard to coax, she is losing her temper."
