Chapter 23 The Vanishing Village

Lingge has never been to the village, why would the village head know this?
According to Chen Yu's description, she got lost in the woods.

When she walked out of the woods, she saw an old man on crutches standing at the entrance of the village, claiming that he was the head of Baijia Village, and then brought her into the village.

"Could it be that... the village chief is waiting for her at the entrance of the village?" Mo Qingchu thought.

The four sat on the Spirit Crow, Feng Yun sat with the third elder, Mo Qingchu sat with Shen Yu.

The crow travels thousands of miles a day at an extremely fast speed.

During the flight, Mo Qingchu kept thinking.

He has lived in Baijia Village for four full years, and he has long regarded everyone in the village as relatives and elders.

Without them, I and Shuli would definitely have a hard time for a while.

In the past four years, although he has helped every household and done work, he has also learned a lot in the process.

The unexplained disappearance of the villagers made Mo Qingchu very worried.

However, after hearing the words of Chen Yu and the others, everything seemed to change a bit.

Chen Yu, who was sitting beside Mo Qingchu, asked, "You don't seem to be afraid at all?"

"Afraid?" Mo Qingchu was slightly taken aback.

Yes, it was obvious that the whole incident revealed weirdness, but there was no trace of fear in his heart.

"Is it because I always thought that the village chief and the others couldn't harm us?" He thought to himself.

Moreover, he came to Baijia Village four years ago.

Four years ago, the village was called this name.

Perhaps, Chen Yu got lost and happened to come outside the village, and it happened that this village was also called Baijia Village?

"That's too coincidental, I still can't convince myself." Mo Qingchu said in his heart.

The spirit crow flies very fast, and it won't take long to reach its destination.

To be honest, he really hoped that the third elder would go to Baijia Village to take a look.

After all, all the villagers disappeared out of thin air, which always makes people feel uneasy.

He heard from Chen Yu that the third elder is a practitioner of the seventh level, and he is one of the best in the world of cultivation, so he must be able to see something.

When Ling Ya flew over a small village, Feng Yun said to Mo Qing: "The one below is [Baijia Village] where Junior Sister was going."

Hearing this, Mo Qingchu lowered her head and looked down.

I saw that this Baijia Village was bigger than my own Baijia Village, and it was estimated that there were nearly a hundred families.

The spirit crow flew forward for a while, and then landed in the forest.

According to what Chen Yu said, she got lost in the woods.

But fortunately, she was very witty, marked many trees, and then successfully walked out of the forest and came to the wrong end.

Feng Yun said: "The third elder said, let you look for the marks you made."

Chen Yu nodded, and soon found traces on a big tree.

It was a very shallow scratch.

The third elder Jiang Yan walked to the tree and stretched out his index finger.

Her fingertips began to glow with a faint red light, and then lightly passed over the scratches.

Immediately afterwards, she nodded slightly, signaling Chen Yu to find the next tree.

"What are you doing?" Mo Qingchu asked Chen Yu in a low voice.

This person is simple, as long as you ask, she will basically answer.

"Third Elder is probably worried that I am not really lost." Chen Yu guessed: "Although I do not have a good sense of direction, but if a high-level practitioner moves, I will definitely be in a state of ignorance. Go to the destination he directed."

"Third Elder, is the disciple's guess right?" Chen Yu asked.

The short third elder rubbed his messy hair and nodded.

Mo Qingchu's heart trembled.

Feng Yun said from the side: "The third elder said that there is no problem at present."

After checking one tree after another, Chen Yu actually became proud: "I knew it, I'm not that easy to be deceived!"

I'm not that easy to deceive!

"Go further, you will come out of the woods, this is the last mark I made." Chen Yu said, trotting forward to lead everyone.

Mo Qingchu and Fengyun immediately followed quickly.

Only the third elder was still walking slowly on his short legs.

Her messy hair covered half of her face, and she couldn't see any expression.

When Mo Qingchu ran out of the woods, he immediately saw Chen Yu with his mouth open.

He followed Chen Yu's gaze and looked forward, there was no village in the distance!
In the distance is a lake, a small lake!

"Baijia Village...is gone." Mo Qingchu said in a daze.

.......
.......
At the entrance of Baijia Village, there is a big banyan tree.

This tree is at least several hundred years old.

Mo Qingchu stood under the banyan tree and looked forward with a blank face.

"The tree is still there, and everything around the entrance of the village is still there."

"But why is there a lake here?"

Where did the Baijia Village go when I was so hot?
Chen Yu held the map, and said in a daze: "So, we are in this position now?"

She pointed to the small lake on the map.

"There has always been a lake here?" Chen Yu was startled.

Mo Qingchu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

I have obviously lived here for the past four years.

But why, why is it a small lake?

The third elder Jiang Yan walked out slowly, her spiritual consciousness had already covered the surroundings, and she knew early on that this was a lake.

Even her spiritual consciousness has been checked at the bottom of the lake, and there is nothing abnormal.

She flew up in the air, looked down from a high place, and then made a seal with both hands, and slowly closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were already red.

After putting her fingers together, she tapped down lightly, and about three feet above the water surface, a crimson ripple opened.

The ripples spread outward, and a breeze was also set off.

It's just that instead of feeling cool and refreshing, this breeze is more like a warm current.

After doing this, the third elder stopped flying in the air, and slowly landed beside the three of them.

"Third Elder, isn't Baijia Village here?" Chen Yu said immediately.

Now she just feels a chill down her spine and can't figure it out.

The third elder just waved his hand, but Feng Yun didn't hear the sound transmission.

Along the way, she didn't find any problems.

And there is no problem, but... the biggest problem!

It's like the so-called Baijia Village is just a dream of Mo Qingchu and others.

The young man stood by the lake in despair, looking down at the reflection in the lake.

He is getting more and more confused now.

Moreover, he is not only confused about his past, he is also confused about his future.

Earlier, the third elder said that he had already obtained the qualification to become a disciple of Mo Zong's outer sect.

But, before that, we have to make sure of one thing.

What now?
Come and come.

But, it seems...not sure?

Now it's all right, not only is his own brother abnormal, but even his own background is abnormal.

The weird village just disappeared, and there are weirdness everywhere... I am a black household!

"Would Mo Zong dare to accept a disciple whose origin is unknown and whose experience is strange?" Mo Qingchu thought in his heart.

As far as he is concerned, he needs to join Mozong very much.

He needs to practice, he needs to find a way to save his younger brother Mo Shuli, and he needs to protect himself.

Don't forget, once you embark on the road of practice, you can't stop!
"But why is this happening?" Mo Qingchu couldn't figure it out.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered a text-"Peach Blossom Spring".

By chance, the fisherman entered the Peach Blossom Spring.

After coming out, he made marks everywhere and reported it to the prefect.The prefect sent someone to follow him to look for it, but in the end they lost their way and could no longer find the way to the Peach Blossom Spring.

Mo Qingchu squatted down slowly and washed his face with the clear water from the small lake.

Drops of water dripped down his cheeks, but in his mind, what the villagers said to the fisherman in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" replayed in his mind.

——[The human saying goes: "It's not enough for outsiders."]
