Qiu Shuijing looked at Su Yun, his eyes full of pity.

"He doesn't know that he died once before. I guess in his mind, Tianmen Town should still be the same as it was six years ago, right?"

Qiu Shuijing even felt that healing Su Yun's eyes was a bit cruel to this young man.

After his eyes are healed, he will discover the truth about Tianmen Town and the truth about Mr. Yehu and his classmates. This should be a big blow to him.

However, this will also make the teenager grow up.

"In his eyes, the details of the Eight-sided Chaotian Palace are imprinted. I am afraid that only the man who took Chaotian Palace away and Su Yun know the secret of Chaotian Palace. Only they know how to open the Heavenly Gate."

Qiu Shuijing said silently in his heart: "Moreover, his eyes are still imprinted with the scene of the immortal sword destroying Tianmen Town. If he can refine the imprint in his eyes, his growth rate will definitely be extremely amazing."

“… Be careful, sir. It’s not easy to get to Huqiu Village. There are some dangerous places on the road.”

Su Yun led the way in front. Although the young man was blind in his eyes, his mind was not blind. He walked in front with ease and familiarity. It seemed that his eyesight was better than that of normal people and he could accurately avoid any obstacles.

"The first dangerous place is the snake stream ahead. There is a big snake there, very ferocious. Brother Hua calls it the snake for the whole village..."

Qiu Shuijing was stunned when he heard this: "The whole village eats snakes?"

"Yes. Last time, Hua Erge's cousin accidentally ran to the Snake Stream and was bitten by a big snake. Mr. Yehu finally managed to rescue him from being eaten by the snake. However, before he returned home, his cousin died. Later, Huqiu Village held a funeral, and trumpets and suonas were played happily. The whole village went to eat. Hua Erge and his friends called the snake "Eat Snake" and the whole village ate it..."

As they were talking, they arrived at Snake Stream.

Qiu Shuijing heard the rustling sound and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a huge black snake coiled on the rocks in the stream, and the scales on its body were black and had a metallic luster.

The big snake was looking up at the sun, breathing in and out. Each breath was extremely long. It took Qiu Shuijing and Su Yun several dozen feet away for it to complete a breath.

When it breathes, every black scale on its body seems to come alive and rotates around its body, rotating forward when it inhales and backward when it exhales.

"The spirit of a powerful person, after his death, attached himself to a black snake and turned into a snake demon."

Qiu Shuijing stared at the snake, and the snake was also staring at him, but it did not take the initiative to provoke them and allowed them to walk out of the snake ravine.

"This snake demon's Qi training is extremely powerful, and it has already begun to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to cultivate its body. Its body has been trained to be extremely hard. It should be practicing a mysterious skill that combines Qi training and body training."

Qiu Shuijing frowned. The snake demon was extremely poisonous and had practiced the mysterious art of refining qi and body. It should be on the verge of transforming into a dragon and should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when it turns into a dragon, ordinary people will be no match for it!

"Don't worry sir, that snake has its own territory. As long as you don't enter its territory, you'll be fine."

Su Yun walked in front and said, "After passing Shejian, we will reach Huang Village in Huangtuling. The guys in Huang Village are very bad and often fight with the guys in Huqiu Village. Let's walk faster. Last time, Second Brother Hua dragged me to fight with the bad guys in Huang Village and beat them badly. These guys hold grudges!"

Qiu Shuijing gave up his murderous intention: "Mr. Yehu teaches everyone, and this snake demon is not necessarily bad. If you punish without teaching, the punishment will be numerous and the evil will not be defeated, which will not help the situation."

"The Yellow Earth Ridge is ahead!"

Su Yun was still very calm and said, "Sir, be careful."

Qiu Shuijing looked and saw a loess tomb about half a mile away. The tomb was very large, forty or fifty feet long, forty or fifty feet wide, and more than ten feet high.

There are also stone sculptures of mausoleum animals in front of the tomb, lined up on both sides of the sacred path.

—The path that ghosts and spirits walk is called Shinto.

However, this tomb was already riddled with holes, with each hole less than two feet in diameter, and one or more weasels standing in each hole.

Those weasels stood at the entrance of the cave like humans, looking up at them. Some mother weasels were holding two or three cubs in their arms. The furry cubs were peeking out from their mothers' arms.

“The little scoundrel of the Su family!”

Suddenly a weasel saw Su Yun and screamed, "He helped the bad guys from Huqiu Village and beat Sister Yaer from Sangu's family until she cried and broke two of her teeth! Beat him—"

call-

Countless small stones and feces balls flew up from the loess grave, forming a black mass. The weasels threw stones and feces balls at Su Yun with all their might, but Su Yun seemed to have long been accustomed to this scene. He casually took out a thick oil-paper umbrella from the basket behind him and opened the umbrella.

The feces and stones fell like rain, making the oil-paper umbrella bang. After a while, Su Yun shook the oil-paper umbrella, folded it up, put the umbrella back into the basket, and asked, "Are you okay, sir?"

Qiu Shuijing said: "I'm fine."

Before those small stones and feces balls reached him, they were all suspended in the air, without any falling on him.

When the old weasel in Huangcun saw this scene, he was frightened and hurriedly stopped the little weasels to avoid provoking a powerful enemy.

Those little weasels had already run to not far from Su Yun and the others. They turned around, raised their tails, exposed their butts, and prepared to release poisonous smoke, but were stopped by the old weasel, which was quite unwilling.

Qiu Shuijing took a quick look and thought, "There are so many weasels. If they harm people..."

He frowned slightly, thinking of Mr. Wild Fox again, and suppressed his murderous intent: "Tianmen Town is rarely visited by people. It is estimated that there are no living people except Su Yun. How can these monsters have the opportunity to do evil?"

He felt somewhat helpless.

I have been stubborn all my life, but I didn't expect that I would be educated by an old fox in middle age and understand the principles of teaching everyone, punishing without teaching, and teaching without punishing.

"The right and wrong in this world are not as clear-cut as black and white," he sighed.

Finally, they arrived at Huqiu Village.

Su Yun smiled and called out, "Mr. Yehu! Second Brother Hua, Third Brother Li! Mr. Shuijing and I are here to see you!"

Qiu Shuijing frowned slightly, suddenly grabbed his hand, motioned him to stop, and stared cautiously at the small village ahead.

Huqiu Village is a small village with dozens of houses, but each house is very small, no more than four or five feet high and no more than two meters in radius, like the houses where dwarfs live.

The village was built on a small hill, shaded by trees, with three or five houses under each tree.

However, at this moment, Huqiu Village was in a mess and many houses were overturned.

Qiu Shuijing frowned and saw several corpses of fox demons.

Su Yun also smelled the blood in the air and felt a little panicked. Qiu Shuijing's voice came: "You can't see. If your mind is confused, your direction will also be confused. If you lose your sense of direction, you won't survive long in Tianshiyuan."

Su Yun tried his best to calm his mind, but Huang Zhong was still confused for a moment.

Qiu Shuijing waited until his mood recovered before taking him to take the first step. After Su Yun took this step, he returned to his previous calm demeanor.

This is what Qiu Shuijing admires most about him.

A blind boy who is only thirteen years old must have an extremely strong mind to survive in Tianshiyuan, a place where demons are rampant!

The little blind boy Su Yun has lived alone for six years, and he has the courage to remain calm even if the sky falls.

Su Yun walked into Huqiu Village with a calm expression. His feet touched a collapsed house, so he squatted down and groped in the ruins.

Qiu Shuijing looked at him and did not help.

After a while, Su Yun groped for a corpse.

To his surprise, what he felt was not a human corpse, but a fox's corpse.

He sat there quietly, not shouting like an ordinary teenager.

After a long time, Su Yun stood up tremblingly and continued to grope among the ruins of the collapsed houses.

After a long time, the young man carried dozens of fox corpses out of the ruins, placed them on the ground, and looked up and said, "Mr. Shuijing, who is Mr. Yehu?"

Qiu Shuijing took his hand and placed it on an old fox.

Su Yun gently touched the old fox's face with his palm. He was silent for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't know Mr. Wild Fox was a fox, but he was very good and taught me to read and write. I am blind and very stupid, and he was very patient..."

He sat on the ground, lost in thought: "I didn't know that my classmates were all foxes. I always thought they were all people. Living people. Hua Erge is fourteen years old, Li Sange is two months younger than him, and Qiu Xiaomei is the youngest, only six years old..."

Qiu Shuijing looked around for traces of fighting and said, "It should have been done by those people from the Tianmen Ghost Market last night."

"Sir, I remember the voices of those men."

Qiu Shuijing looked back and saw that Su Yun's face was extremely calm, so calm that it was a little scary.
