Continuing to walk on the road overgrown with grass, the atmosphere was extremely silent. Even Qinhuai had no interest in talking. Most people didn't have a good rest last night, and they were in such a hurry today. No one had the energy to talk anymore.

These villages are built next to each other, and they are not too far away. However, after passing one village after another, the master has no intention of letting everyone take a break. Even for lunch, they ate compressed biscuits and drank some in a hurry.

Water will solve the problem.

Speaking of which, I took a half-hour break during lunch.

Except for Qinhuai, who is a young master, everyone's physical fitness is not bad, but mental fatigue often makes people feel more tired than physical fatigue. Finally someone couldn't help but said: "Master Jiang, I really can't stand it anymore. Take a rest."

Later?"

The master said without any hesitation: "Let's rest when we get to the place."

People are a little dissatisfied, but after all, my master is the backbone of this operation. Although this department is loose on the surface, it is actually managed like an army. Even Yuan Yi can vent his dissatisfaction and show that he wants to be the 'boss'

mentality, but he would never dare to disobey orders.

But at this time, as I supported Qinhuai on the road, I felt that Master was a little unkind.

The summer in Sichuan is already very hot, and the midsummer sun is so scorching, but this road has been abandoned for decades and can no longer be called a road. It is overgrown with weeds and entangled with thorns. Every step is so difficult. Why doesn't Master give me a break?

Woolen cloth?

In particular, we originally brought some water, but Master actually told us not to drink it and asked us to keep it. When we drank water, he went to find some water and then treated it with water purification tablets. After boiling it, it was still

Burn a talisman and throw it in for us to drink.

This is really painful. On such a hot day, you still have to drink boiled water, or water with ashes thrown into it, especially when your mouth is dry and you really want to drink water.

Unfortunately, the master didn't explain anything at all, he just gave his orders.

I was a little dissatisfied, so I thought Yuan Yi would definitely say something, but Yuan Yi didn't have any objections this time and silently carried out every decision made by the master.

Qinhuai couldn't bear it anymore, so he whispered in my ear: "Chengyi, I feel like this leg is no longer mine, and it still hurts so much."

I lowered my head and looked, and sure enough, Qinhuai's pants were hung up in many places, with holes and blood stains on his legs. This road was really difficult to walk.

In fact, I didn’t want to cause trouble to Master, but I also cared about Qinhuai. I couldn’t help shouting: “Master, can you take a rest for a while? Qinhuai can’t hold on anymore?”

Master was still like that, walking at the front without looking back, and only replied to me: "No."

I had no choice but to carry Qinhuai on my back and said: "Brother, you should rest for a while, we are almost there."

When the people around me saw this situation, they were silent. Even the apprentice refused directly. They didn't have to expect anything. The master also knew that I was carrying Qinhuai on my back, but he didn't even pause and just walked forward.

Fortunately, I have been practicing since I was a child, and I have a good physique. Although I am tired, I can still persist with Qinhuai on my back. He is my friend, and I cannot ignore him. After all, what people do most of the time is not supported by physical strength, but by physical strength.

It is a will.

In this way, we moved forward in silence. In order to reach our destination early, we didn't even eat dinner.

Finally, in the evening, we arrived at our destination—the village next to the village where the accident happened!

That was the destination of the four people who escaped from the village, and it was also the village closest to the village where the incident occurred.

However, as soon as we entered this village, we discovered a strange phenomenon. In the evening of summer, this village is covered with a layer of fog that seems to be there but not yet there. Let’s just say it exists. You can’t feel the fog at all in front of you.

Let's say it doesn't exist. The whole village is hazy, as if it is covered by a veil.

What’s even more depressing is that even though it’s summer, I feel chilly as soon as I walk into this village. My bare arms actually have a string of goosebumps. Standing here is like standing in the autumn wilderness.

.

The master looked up with a heavy expression. In this situation, I usually look at the master habitually, because I am not sure, so I want to see the master's face.

Seeing the heavy expression on Master's face, my heart also became heavy, especially where he looked, which was the mountain that separated the village. I followed his gaze and happened to see that mountain covered in white.

The fog at the bottom of the mountain was fine, but the fog at the top of the mountain was so thick that it felt like it couldn't be dissolved.

This?! I was shocked. This fog has appeared many times in the story, but according to the clues, it was deliberately done by the old village chief. What is going on covering the mountain now?

I vaguely had an answer, but I didn’t dare to say it, but some people didn’t have such scruples. I don’t know when Yuan Yi stood in front of me, staring at the mountain and said: "Yin Qi takes form, this ghost must have

How fierce? It's worse than I expected yesterday."

Most of Yuan Yi's words were heard, and everyone's heart sank. I originally thought that a dozen people were enough, but I didn't expect that when faced with this situation, I found that the dozen of us seemed to be abandoned.

It felt like I was on an uninhabited island, and there was danger everywhere. I really wanted Master to ask for support as soon as possible.

The master looked at the top of the mountain in silence for a long time, and finally said: "Let's go, find a place to stay first."

At this time, the role of the backbone finally came into play. Although the master was very heavy, he did not panic at all and clearly knew what to do next. This gave people some comfort.

I also breathed a sigh of relief. Master didn't ask us to retreat quickly, which meant that things were at least improving. Carrying Qinhuai on my back, I strode to follow Master's footsteps.

In the end, the place we found was the former village chief's office, which Master insisted on choosing. Compared with residential houses, the office was indeed not very convenient. There was no stove, no bed, no living utensils, only chairs and tables.

I have followed Master for so many years, and of course I know what Master means. A place with the strongest yang energy is always the office building, the public security bureau, and the school. After all, the first two places are state agencies and have been contaminated by some of the national destiny.

It can be suppressed! As for schools, after all, children are purer than adults, so Yanghuo is exceptionally pure, so it can be suppressed!

Master is taking advantage of every opportunity!

When we arrived at the place, Master asked everyone to tidy up the place, at least drive away snakes, insects, rats, ants, and remove weeds.

In fact, I didn't say anything. I just saw a straw beetle with almost half of its body turning white in the grass! You know, we all carry insect repellent powder with us, but this bug didn't even retreat! It can be seen that this environment 'nourishes' them

What a dependence!

"Sanwa'er, mix your medicinal powder with everyone else's medicinal powder to repel insects. Try not to kill them, especially snakes. I don't want to cause trouble." Master told me.

Then he looked at Yuan Yi: "You and I can set up a formation together."

I collected the medicinal powder, and then carefully poured some medicinal powder out of the bamboo tube. Unfortunately, I had saved the medicinal powder in the bamboo tube for more than ten years. After arriving here, almost one-sixth of it was used.

After mixing the medicinal powder, I gave the medicinal powder to a person who was not very afraid of insects and asked him to sprinkle some everywhere. Because I added my medicinal powder, it was enough to have an effect.

Then, we once again witnessed the scene of insects swarming out. Unlike the insects in that village, almost half of the insects here were pale white. When the master saw this scene, his face was extremely heavy. I heard him mutter: "

These bugs cannot be left here."

But there are thousands of bugs, how can we deal with them cleanly? When I think about this problem, I get a headache, but a spider just happened to crawl by my feet, and I was too scared to speak.

Slowly, a snake crawled out. At this time, I realized that there was no black snake in this house. There were two venomous snakes mixed in. Not to mention the bungara snake, which originally had pale skin on its body.

Colored lines, the worst thing is that these lines have become larger and are almost turning into white snakes.

However, the golden lines of the krait are also mixed with pale white, which is quite scary.
Chapter completed!
