After the abolition of the cold palace, I just want to cultivate immortals

Chapter 83 The First Night

Lu Qiyun seemed to have had a deep and long dream.

"Xiaoyun, get up soon." Someone shook her and shouted.

The little face wrinkled in sleep, Lu Qiyun raised her heavy eyelids, and a dark and teenage face was reflected in the narrow field of vision.

The boy was about ten years old, his complexion was very dark, and there were a few straws in his hair.

Seeing her open her eyes, she hurriedly pulled her up from the bed, and said mysteriously: "Yesterday we agreed to go outside the witch line together! Hurry up! Be careful, it will be a disaster if you wake up the adults!"

Witch line?

Could it be that he had slept for too long, his head was groggy, and he couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

I lay on a hard plank bed, and there was a bed and a small chair in the dark and cramped room.

The boy tilted his head, only then did Lu Qiyun realize that there was still a lookout girl standing at the door.

The girl was half a head taller than the boy, with two braids in her hair. She lowered her voice and said, "Go before they find out!"

Lu Qiyun was confused, and only had time to put on her clothes and shoes before being dragged out of the door by the boy.

The sky is full of stars, and the trees in the dark are like monsters with teeth and claws.

The girl walked ahead with a lantern, trying to look calm.

The boy held Lu Qiyun with one hand, and followed behind the light step by step.Lu Qiyun looked down at her small body, and suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience.

Perhaps because of fear, boys and girls find topics to chat.

Lu Qiyun added a few sentences from time to time, pieced together some information from the conversation between the two.

The boy's name is Yuegui, and the girl's name is Youlian. They have lived in Yuanluo Village since childhood.However, Yuanluo Village is protected by the witch line, and the villagers only move within the range of the witch line, because there will be people who go out of the range of the witch line.

"Puppet..."

Lu Qiyun couldn't understand.

Unconsciously making a sound, Yue Gui was startled, he patted his heart and said strangely: "Don't say those two words, people are ashamed to eat people!"

Under the light of the lantern, You Lian's complexion was strangely yellow, she said "shh", and said: "Everyone in the village says you are ashamed, and whoever sees it with our own eyes, we will go and have a look, and run away if something is wrong. Come back, don't scare yourself."

Yue Gui was obviously timid, at first he was excited by Hao Kexin, but when he saw that he was approaching the witch line, he retreated.

"Sister Lian, let's go back, in case the Master Wizard blames me..."

The lights in front flickered, You Lian slowly turned her head.

With the dim light of the lantern, Lu Qiyun saw a red grass rope being pulled in front of her. Thick knots were tied every three feet on the rope, and bells hung from the knots.

Is that the so-called witch line?
You Lian was determined, and said: "Just go out and have a look, the adults in the village are all asleep, if you don't tell me, I don't tell you, who will know that we have gone out?"

Yue Gui muttered, "Master Shaman knows everything."

Seeing Yue Gui's hesitation, You Lian turned to her and asked, "What about you, are you a coward like him?"

Lu Qiyun looked at Wuxian, she could feel that it was not an ordinary straw rope, and there was a mysterious and mysterious power faintly exuding from it.

Whether the so-called human puppet exists or not, and the degree of danger outside the witch line, she is definitely not going to take risks just to show off.

Seeing this, You Lian showed disappointment in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, if you don't go, I will go by myself!"

"Miss Lian!"

Yue Guiyi was anxious for a while, but he stretched out his hand to pull her but he didn't hold her back. You Lian bent down and slipped under the witch line, and then stopped there, the surrounding was so quiet that the rapid breathing of the three could be heard.

After a while, You Lian turned back with a smile, his face flickered under the dancing firelight, "Look, it's all right."

Across a strange witch line, Yuegui and Lu Qiyun looked at You Lian, Yuegui wanted to wipe off his sweat nervously, but found that his hand was still tightly grasping Lu Qiyun.

Feeling the slippery cold sweat on the back of his hands, Lu Qiyun frowned, focusing on You Lian.

She seems to be able to "see" about ten feet away, and there is nothing abnormal in her field of vision. The puppet is probably a story about adults coaxing and scaring children?

"Okay, sister Lian, I've seen it all, come back soon!"

Yuegui hurriedly urged: "Puppets really can eat people, have you forgotten Brother Shan? The old man in the village said he was eaten by puppet!"

In the distance, You Lian didn't look back, and walked further and further away with the lantern.

Soon it was beyond what Lu Qiyun could "see", and the light in the dark night gradually disappeared from sight.

Without the lighting tool, Yuegui became even more frightened, his legs were shaking, "Has Lianjie been eaten? What should we do? Huh..."

"Let's go back."

If you don't chase it out, then go back.

Yue Gui murmured: "Ah, what about Sister Lian?"

Gazing at him strangely, Lu Qiyun said, "Why don't you go to the Master Wizard?"

When Yue Gui talked about wizards, his tone was awe. Wizards should have a high status in Yuanluo Village.

Since the wizard line is also set by the wizard, if there are real puppet outside, it is definitely the most efficient to find the wizard.

"no!"

Yue Gui immediately vetoed it, fearfully saying: "We can't let the wizard know that we violated the rules and set the witch line without authorization!"

"What will happen if you know?"

Yue Gui's eyes widened, "I will die, no, it's scarier than death..."

Then what are you doing to die in the middle of the night?
Lu Qiyun held back her complaints, thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, let's go back first."

On the way back in the dark, sleepiness swept over her, Lu Qiyun's eyelids fought, and she breathed out one after another.

Yue Gui suddenly felt a little guilty, all because he insisted on pulling her, "I'm sorry, Yun'er, you should go back to sleep quickly, don't let Uncle Lu find out."

"Ah."

Responded absent-mindedly.

Back to the previous hut, Lu Qiyun fell asleep. This drowsiness is very abnormal, it seems to be a kind of self-protection of the body, which needs to repair itself during sleep.

However, she clearly saw the uninjured parts of her small body.

Weird.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day.

After waking up, my head was still heavy, but I was more energetic than last night.

The place where she lives is a separate small building on stilts, which is built adjacent to a two-story attic. The attic is the residence of Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu just came to ask her to eat, and her uncle and aunt had no children, so they adopted her.

Yuanluo Village is built on the mountain, and the buildings in the village are all attics on stilts, and some chickens and ducks are raised under the attics.

There are about 100 households in the whole village, more than [-] people. The wizard lives in the attic on the middle of the mountain. Whenever there is a big event in the village, the village head will ask the wizard to pray for the village.

After taking a mouthful of the rice, Lu Qiyun almost didn't spit it out. It's not rice at all, it's chaff at all, and it's almost the same as feeding chickens.

Aunt Lu saw that she didn't move her chopsticks anymore, so she asked: "If you can't eat, come pick some calla taro with me later, this year, hey, it's going to be hard."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her small face wrinkled into a bun, Aunt Lu smiled: "This is something adults should think about, children, don't worry about it, take the eggs with you, and go to school quickly."

Holding the egg stuffed by Aunt Lu, Lu Qiyun was taken aback. So there is a school in the village?
