Let's make a contract, Demon Fox

Chapter 279 The Missing Feather Crane

Jinghua Village exists in a quiet valley outside the dense forest of the soul. Xia Qiu learned more about the village from the elders of the village.

According to him, he was the third person to arrive at the village. As for whether there are other villages in the realm of separation, he has no way to know, and the two people who came to the village before him are no longer there. It may not be appropriate to call them people. Like Xia Qiu, they are just souls who were on the verge of death but survived, but for some reason, they can't return to their bodies for the time being.

The elder's real name is Wan. The body is a white tiger, and he was also a quite famous monster. Like Xia Qiu, he was born with the ability to leave his soul. The most incredible thing is that he actually knew Ouyang Yong. He was seriously injured in the war between Li and Qingyun hundreds of years ago, and then his soul was trapped in the territory of the soul.

When he first came here, he felt very confused. He had too many questions about this strange world. His first thought was to try to walk to the end of the world, but it didn't work out for a long time. Later, he only returned to the starting point and found the valley outside the dense forest not far from when he first entered the realm of soul separation.

It's like the island that was finally found after wandering alone in the vast sea for a long time. The curling smoke from the two exquisite cabins in the valley made him excited. There was a man and a woman living in the two cabins. After hearing their descriptions, Anhui roughly calculated that they entered the realm of soul much earlier than himself.

And he also found many similarities with himself in them. The first point is that both of them have the same soul ability as him, and the second is that they have experienced death, so there is a bold guess in Anhui's heart that this place should be when those with soul are close to death. It is similar to Huangquan.

When this man and a woman first arrived here, they also made the same attempt as Anhui. They started from the same point and explored in two directions, but they also failed. Finally, they chose this valley as a place to settle down.

Wan decided to stay and build his own house next to their wooden house. Later, this place welcomed many residents one after another. With the increase of buildings, the village also took shape. Through contact with Anhui, the villagers knew that he had been a general in the army of the demon king Huli and had the noble status of the king, so they asked him to name the village. He thought about it carefully. Although the scenery here is beautiful, it lacks a sense of reality, so he thought of Jinghua Shuiyue, and finally Jinghua became the name here.

After the village was named Jinghua Village, everyone elected him as the elder of the village because of their respect for Anhui. Since then, the size of the village has been growing for hundreds of years, and Anhui has also managed it in an orderly manner. The scenery of Jinghua Village is just like its name. It is neatly covered with exquisite wooden houses. In front of each wooden house is planted with wild oats and vegetables cultivated from edible plants found in the dense forest. Because there are no four seasons here, it is always full of spring. The fruit trees in the village are covered with all kinds of fruits all year round, which can be picked and eaten by the villagers at will.

At first, people began to disappear in the village. Like others, they only thought they might have gone out to explore. But later, a person with relatively stronger soul separation ability told Wan and others with certainty before disappearing that his disappearance was because he could return to the original world again, which meant the recovery of his body.

So, on the one hand, they learned that they entered this world. In fact, their bodies have not died, but for some reason, their souls cannot return to their bodies for the time being, and they can only stay in this world. The people here are suddenly weak until they disappear for two reasons, one is that they can return to their own body, and the other is the ultimate death of the body.

It is not terrible for them to disappear from here, so every time someone leaves, they will not be sad, but will hold a simple ceremony. Offering a bouquet in front of the disappeared person's house and singing for him or her as a farewell makes Xia Qiu think of the joy and mourning in the world. In the words of Elder Wan, whether it is returning to the original world or death, it may be stronger than to exist endlessly in this realm of separation.

Anhui has also divided the labor for the villagers. They have established a tool workshop specializing in the production of labor and life tools, a sewing house for weaving and sewing, a brewing workshop for brewing, a hunter's house for hunting in the dense forest, and a medical center for treating injuries and diseases, but the most important is the crystal workshop for mining and managing crystals.

After entering the realm of soul separation, there is no way to exert the demonic power. Wan thought that although the current life is comfortable, once there is an unknown enemy, the combat effectiveness is necessary, and it is necessary to enhance the strength of Lin's soul. Through his accidental discovery and research, there is a kind of green crystal in the mountain, which can be of great help to the improvement of spiritual power.

This kind of chlorite looks a little like an emerald, but it is more crystal clear, and small golden impurities can be seen in the crystal. Not everyone can make good use of the power from the green crystal, so Anhui established the crystal workshop. After the crystal is mined, it will be selected and ground here. Eating this powder in moderation can improve a certain amount of spiritual power. The function of this gem powder is similar to that of the flowers on the antlers of Bauhinia elk that exist in the infinite heaven.

With the help of the innate powerful spiritual power and chlorite powder, Anhui has become very powerful. Now the boundary over the whole Jinghua Village is created by his own strength. The reason why he created this powerful boundary is to block white bats.

Things were exactly the same as he expected. After hundreds of years of peaceful life in Jinghua Village, the enemy finally appeared. A few years ago, only someone happened to see white bats in the dense forest, but soon, the number of these monsters began to increase, and they should be carrying out some kind of activity in an organized way.

At the beginning, they did not attack the villagers of Jinghua Village. Although they had all kinds of views on their existence, they were still at peace. But recently, their activities have become more frequent, and some villagers have been captured by them.

Anhui once led several spiritual villagers to find their base camp, and after several twists and turns, he finally found its place in the deepest and most secret place in the dense forest. But not to mention entering the base camp, it is very difficult to get close to that place. In desperation, he had to give up his plan to rescue the captured villagers, but use the boundary to protect the villagers and prohibit anyone from leaving the village. This kind of boundary is only effective for white bats, which is why Xia Qiu can enter the village smoothly, but white bats can't.

The Yuhe Fairy and the Elder of Anhui have known each other for several years, because his appearance confirms the speculations of Anhui and others about why the soul will disappear from the soul. As the only person who can freely come and go here freely in the world, he has also become a very good talkable in Anhui. Friends. He occasionally came to Jinghua Village to talk to Wan. The deeper he interacted with him, the more Anhui felt his mystery and loneliness.

The last time he came to Anhui was a few days ago. He had always been as deep as a quiet night, but he seemed so flustered. Wan quickly found that he was injured and wanted to treat him, but he refused. He told Wan that for some reason, he could not enter the realm of soul in a short time. But the only thing he can't rest assured of is the agreement with a human girl, which is Xia Qiu. Wan promised that if he met Xia Qiu, he would leave her in the village to protect her.

Before saying goodbye to Anhui, the Feather Crane Fairy left a few words, and his words were more like a prophecy. He told Wan that Xia Qiu was the person who could find out the truth about why white bats appeared in the realm of soul, and she would eventually defeat the mysterious figure who created these monsters and controlled them to do evil.

After Xia Qiu listened to his introduction about Jinghua Village at the residence of Elder Wan and the reason why he was entrusted by the Feather Crane Fairy to help her, Xiao Mo came to the temporary residence prepared by Elder Anhui for her.

This empty house is not far from Xiaomo's house, which she saved before. When she first rescued her, Xia Qiu thought she was a boy. Because she shaved her very short hair, and although she was not tall, her limbs were very slender, but later she learned that Xiao Mo was actually a little girl, and the big brother in her mouth was the Feather Crane Fairy.

Xiaomo helped Xia Qiu hold the new quilt from the mother-in-law in charge of sewing in the village, and then pretended to walk around the house curiously, looking around, looking around. She seemed to be so curious about everything, but Xia Qiu could feel that she was not careful. She must have something to ask herself about staying.

"Sister Xia Qiu, do you also know that big brother?" Finally, Xiao Mo couldn't help asking.

"Yes! He is a friend of mine.

Xia Qiu leaned his bow and arrow against the corner of the wall, put the simple bag on the shelf, and then looked around the whole wooden hut. Although the room is not big, the beams are very high, and there is a window on the ceiling facing the direction of the bed. If you lie on **, you can see the sky from that window.

"I ran out of the village to find the big brother. I knew him when he first came to this village.

When it comes to the Feather Crane Fairy, Xiaomo became a little shy.

"There are so many white bats outside. Besides, Lord Wan also forbade the villagers from leaving Jinghua Village. Are you still going out to find him?"

Xia Qiu didn't understand what kind of friendship there was between the child and the Yuhe Fairy, so that she could be so desperate and even put herself in danger.

"I heard the conversation between him and the elder when he came back. I... I didn't eavesdrop. I just happened to see his back and followed him. As a result, he said that he was afraid he would not be able to come here for a while, and please leave you in the village if he sees you.

"Maybe he has something to do."

"I don't think so. He seemed to be injured when he came that day. Although he tried his best to cover it up, I still saw it."

"So you can't trust him, can you?"

"Yes, although the big brother doesn't like to laugh, he is very gentle, and I have never seen such a beautiful person as him. He is like an extremely noble bird I have seen in my dream."
