The real daughter, she became famous all over the world by fortune telling

As everyone expected in advance, the road up the mountain was very difficult——

The first section is a plank road, built along the mountain wall, winding up the mountain, with the mountain wall on the left and the bottomless valley on the right.

On the side of the valley, there are handrails made of wood, which can prevent people from accidentally falling down the mountain while walking on the plank road.

It can be seen that the wood is made of good materials, and the structure is strong and stable.

However, after all, this place has been abandoned for more than [-] years. These wooden railings have already softened and rotted after being exposed to the wind and sun. Without maintenance, they can break with a light touch.

After walking the plank road, there is a long stone step that goes straight up.

The path was carved out of stone, and it was already slippery. No one has walked or cleaned it for so many years, and it is covered with moss.

There was also accumulation of dew and fallen leaves, and it was almost impossible to find a place to stay.

So when walking on this road, you need to be extra careful. If you don’t pay attention, you will either fall off the plank road and fall to the bottom of the valley, or roll down the stone steps and fall to your death.

But this is nothing to Pei Anzhu.

She walked very steadily with every step, and even quietly solved those difficult positions in order to make it easier for ordinary people to go up the mountain.

With Pei Anzhu's current cultivation level, she can use cleansing spells, dust removal spells and other spells, and with a wave of her hand, she can open up a clean path.

But she can't do too much.

In the eyes of Police Officer Du and others, she is just a master of metaphysics with strong abilities. Even exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts is within the reasonable scope of existing records.

But if people know that she can soar through the clouds and turn the clouds and rain, then she will really be an outlier.

Because she didn't need to worry about safety issues, Pei Anzhu didn't walk slowly. She climbed up step by step, and it took about an hour to climb to the top of the mountain.

At this time, it was eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

There is an antique building on the top of the mountain. The signboard says Ji'an Temple, which follows the former name of Ruyi Mountain. The temple enshrines Buddhist beliefs such as Tathagata, Guanyin, and Eighteen Arhats.

But Ji'an Temple is already very dilapidated, with mottled walls and incomplete bricks and tiles. If it rains, you can feel the baptism of rain in the house.

Those Buddha statues are even more withered, and I don't know what happened here. The Buddha statues have decapitated heads, limbs, and even been pushed down, as if they have experienced a catastrophe.

Pei Anzhu walked around the entire temple and found nothing wrong.

However, in the merit box in the corner, I found a lot of currency from 20 years ago. If I take it out, I can go to the bank to exchange a lot of money.

But Pei Anzhu is not a greedy person, she didn't touch anything here, just explored around according to the map given by Director Sun.

As she walked, she let go of her divine sense and observed everything on the mountain as if scanning.

There is absolutely no disappearance for no reason. There must be something on this mountain that ordinary people cannot detect.

Thinking of this, Pei Anzhu took out the gossip compass from his backpack.

This gossip compass was seized from that liar Wang Daxi when he was in Hanjia Village, and it is from the same batch as the Lingsuo.

Now that Master Zhao recognized the Binding Lingsuo as something belonging to Shu Yunguan, then this gossip compass must be pretty much the same.

Most of the magic tools of Shu Yun Guan were brought by the founder Shu Yun from the cultivation world, so the usage is driven by spiritual power.

In the hands of Pei Anzhu, the magic weapon is much more effective than in the hands of the liar Wang Daxi.

Pei Anzhu injected spiritual power into the gossip compass, and the needle of the compass turned crazily until it became faster and faster, and finally pointed to a certain direction.

It was in the northwest of Ji'an Temple, and Pei An, a master of bamboo art, was so bold that he raised his foot and walked towards that side.

After walking about three kilometers, the gossip compass began to vibrate like crazy, and the pointer started to spin around, as if the magnetic field had failed, and it didn't listen at all.

But what appeared in front of Pei Anzhu's eyes was a cliff. The bottom of the cliff was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. When he looked down, the rich black was like a sinking abyss.

If it is an ordinary person, it will only feel that everything is ordinary, either to take a photo to stay in love, or to turn around and leave.

But for Pei Anzhu, she knew that she had found a place.

This cliff, like the road behind Shu Yunguan's mountain, is a relatively clever way of deceiving one's eyes, but in Pei Anzhu's eyes, this way of deceiving one's eyes is as transparent——

It took her almost no effort to see it.

Behind this bottomless, chasm-like cliff is another completely different scene, she decided to take a look.

But before she went to check, she learned that it would be the group at the foot of the mountain.

So she called Officer Du.

Officer Du stayed up last night at the Zhou family's mountain manor, and went to bed early tonight. When he was woken up by the phone, his thoughts were still slow.

But as soon as I saw the caller ID, I immediately became energetic:
"Master Pei, what's the matter?"

"I found something on Ruyi Mountain, and I plan to go and see it." Pei Anzhu said, "The plan we made before is cancelled, and you all don't come up until I come out and notify you."

"Why?" Officer Du asked, "Is it dangerous?"

"It's dangerous. Even if I can protect so many people, it will delay things. Why don't I act alone." Pei Anzhu said.

"Is it related to the missing case?" Officer Du asked again.

"Eighty percent."

"Okay, I will convey your meaning to everyone tomorrow morning and wait for your news."

"Help me take good care of Shen Yueran. She's a girl and she hasn't suffered much. I'm afraid she won't get used to it."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Anzhu walked towards the cliff with his bag on his back and firm eyes.

In the next second, a strong sense of weightlessness came, Pei Anzhu suppressed his subconscious instinct to fly in the air, and let himself fall freely.

At this moment, she was completely an ordinary girl, she stumbled and fell off the cliff.

The time of falling was very, very long, the surroundings were dark, without any reference, and even people's perception became blurred.

It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time.

Pei Anzhu's feet stepped on solid ground, and another scene appeared in front of him——

It was a small village.

It looks very old, not the new countryside at all, like a backcountry where traffic was blocked decades ago, the houses are all walls made of mud and mud, not even a brick.

At a glance, there seemed to be twenty or thirty households in the village, and a lantern was hung at the door of each household. Candles were burning in the lantern, showing a strange blue color.

The stars are dotted with shadows, like the will-o'-the-wisps in the cemetery.

At the entrance of the village stands a relatively large stone tablet with three words engraved on it: Village of Living People.

It looks like a name with a story.

Pei Anzhu hooked the corner of his mouth, and walked into the village at a leisurely pace.

With a creak, the door opened.

In the silent night, the sound sounded very strange. Soon, the door of the house closest to Pei Anzhu opened, and an old woman in her 60s came out from inside.

The old woman was wearing old-fashioned calico clothes, old-fashioned cloth shoes, and a turban on her head. She was holding a candlestick in her hand, and the candle flame was flickering in the night.

"Girl, why are you here in the middle of the night?" the old woman asked with a gloomy gaze.

If it was an ordinary young girl, she would probably get sick from fright at this moment.

But Pei Anzhu is not an ordinary person, she just opened her mouth and made up:

"Grandma, I don't know how I came here. I am a student of the Academy of Fine Arts. I went up to the mountains to collect scenery and paint under the guidance of my teacher. I couldn't sleep at night and wanted to go for a walk. I came here somehow. "

"What is this place? Why haven't I seen this place during the day?"

The old lady grinned, her broken teeth looked terrible under the candlelight, and she said:
"Did you see the stone tablet outside? We are living people's village here."

"What a strange name, how could there be a village called this?" Pei Anzhu looked puzzled, "Is there a village of the dead in this world?"

The old woman giggled immediately, and said in a mysterious voice:

"Maybe, there is one?"

Pei Anzhu shook the goose bumps on his body:
"Hey, don't be scary, grandma, do you have any free room at home? I want to stay with you for one night, and I will find my way back at dawn tomorrow. Don't worry, money is not a problem."

The smile on the old grandma's face widened: "Come in with me."

Afterwards, the grandma took Pei Anzhu to an empty room, which had not been occupied for an unknown period of time, dust was everywhere, and the beams were covered with cobwebs.

The old lady took out a quilt from the cabinet and threw it on the bed. The heavy object fell down and the dust on the bed was thrown up several inches.

Pei Anzhu: ...

In order to solve this broken village, she really sacrificed a lot.

"The mountain is poor and the place is poor. You will live there." The old woman said, "Anyway, it's only for one night."

After saying this, the grandmother lit an oil lamp in the house with the candlestick in her hand, then turned around and went out, and closed the door for Pei Anzhu.

The door was closed, leaving only the oil lamp in the room burning faintly.

Pei Anzhu stood there quietly. She knew that the old lady didn't go far, and even stood at the door listening to the movement.

She smiled slightly, glanced at the candlestick, walked to the side of the bed, shook off the quilt, and lay down.

The dirty environment made her feel uncomfortable. She could also use spells or talismans to make herself sleep soundly, but in order not to startle the snake, she still did nothing.

The oil lamp was burning little by little, and an inexplicable smell gradually filled the air.

Outside the house, the old woman noticed that Pei Anzhu's breathing gradually became steady, and it sounded like she was falling asleep, and then a weird smile cracked on her face.

Holding the candlestick, she walked away tremblingly, muttering:

"The last one..."

Pei Anzhu wasn't actually asleep. Even though she was lying down, she was still practicing. The exercises were running in her meridians, and the spiritual power was washing her dantian.

Although the aura from the outside world is not as strong as that on Fengjia Mountain, she never slacks off, accumulating a little makes a lot, and her cultivation base can grow slowly.

While cultivating, she released her spiritual consciousness to observe the situation in this "living village".

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was dawn.

The oil lamp in the room hadn't finished burning yet, so it stands to reason that Pei Anzhu shouldn't wake up at this time, so she continued to lie still.

But the village is starting to get busier.

Twenty or thirty families in the whole village woke up from their sleep, opened their doors and walked out one after another, gathering in the open space in front of the old grandmother's house.

The old lady seemed to be a very prestigious existence in the village, she said to everyone:
"Last night, a young girl came to the village, and she was alive."

After the voice fell, the faces of all the villagers suddenly showed ecstasy:

"After waiting for so many years, it's finally here. This is the last one. Our village...is saved!"
