[Dong, dong dong …]
There was another knock on the door, but there was no sound of anyone talking outside. Ghost Li frowned, walked over and opened the door.
A person stood at the door, it was a thirteen or fourteen year old Miao youth, his face still looked childish, in his hand was a basket, in the middle were some meat, wine and dishes, it seemed like Tu MaGu tribe leader had sent someone to deliver the food.
That youth passed the basket over, Ghost Li nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
That youth grinned but only made a sound, Ghost Li was surprised, this youth was actually a mute who could not speak, no wonder he only knocked and did not speak.
He could not help but assessed the youth a few more times, the youth's clothes were mostly patched up, evidently he had worn it for a long time, very different from the Miao people he saw on the streets of Seven Mile Cave, most likely this youth's position here was not high, most likely he was an orphan.
Once Ghost Li thought of the word orphan, he was stunned for a moment but in that short moment, that youth after smiling at him, turned and left, looking at his back figure, he did not look sad or depressed, instead he looked rather happy.
Ghost Li watched that youth's figure gradually disappearing, suddenly felt an inexplicable vexation in his heart, sighed softly, turned and entered the house, a sound of the door closing.
The sun gradually set in the west, the sky gradually darkened, in the numerous Miao houses in Seven Mile Cave, lights were lit up one by one.
The faint yellow lights that seeped out from the windows, flickered incessantly in the darkness, wavering, like silent eyes in the night.
Then each family, the people under each light, all had their own mood and life!
Ghost Li stood at the window, gazed at the Miao people's dwelling, did not speak.
The night breeze gradually blew, the Miao people's excited laughter could be heard from far away in Seven Mile Cave, dogs barking from somewhere, just that these sounds carried along with the wind, instead highlighted the tranquility of this piece of land.
Maybe these ordinary Miao people, they were instead happier than those cultivators.
Ghost Li slowly closed the window, turned around and isolated himself from the outside world.
He was stunned when he turned, Xiao Bai who was still sleeping quietly a moment ago, sat up, leaning against the wall beside the bed, quietly watching him.
Ghost Li glanced at her, said, "You are awake?"
Xiao Bai smiled, gently rubbed her forehead, said, "Is there tea, pour me a cup! My head is still aching. "
Ghost Li walked to the table, poured a cup of water and passed it to her, said, "Miao people where would there be tea, you drink some water!"
Xiao Bai nodded, took the cup, drank a few mouthfuls, her spirit seemed to be shaken, heaved a long sigh and then glanced at Ghost Li, said, "Are you blaming me in your heart?"
Ghost Li bitterly laughed, shook his head, said, "Without you, I would not know the Miao people's great shaman can save BiYao, never mind, tomorrow we will go and see him."
Xiao Bai nodded, said, "I am not very clear-headed after being drunk, have you seen the Miao people's great shaman?"
Ghost Li nodded and said, "I have seen him, he also admitted that he indeed knows the Soul Return Unusual Skill, just that he must ask about your background, must ascertain how you know this secret before he agreed." While speaking, he could not help but felt worried, whether the nine-tailed celestial fox's identity would be willing to be revealed, he was unsure of Xiao Bai's reaction.
Xiao Bai was silent for a moment, indifferently said, "Tomorrow after daybreak, I will go with you to see him!"
Ghost Li nodded, was about to speak when Xiao Bai suddenly laughed, said, "Look at this monkey, he is even more drunk than me."
Ghost Li glanced at Xiao Hui who was still lying beside Xiao Bai, snoring loudly with its four limbs spread out, shook his head and did not speak.
Xiao Bai stretched out her hand, patted Xiao Hui's head, her eyes unexpectedly landed on the third eye in the middle of Xiao Hui's forehead, after a moment of hesitation, raised her head and spoke to Ghost Li, "There is one matter, I have been thinking for a long time, it is Xiao Hui's third spiritual eye …"
Before she finished, suddenly outside their house, above the Seven Mile Cave, a deafening howl like a dog's bark exploded, the sound shook the surroundings, as if the entire mountain range was shaking. Even the two of them, with their level of cultivation, felt their ears ringing.
Both of them were shocked, Ghost Li quickly walked to the door, pulled it open and walked out.
The deafening sound reverberated in the Seven Mile Cave valley, echoes incessantly from far and near. Right now all the Miao people in the Seven Mile Cave were shocked by the deafening sound, the original tranquility was instantly broken.
Ghost Li only saw numerous Miao people rushing out of their houses, gazing afar, their faces were filled with terror, many of them kept shouting the same sentence but he did not understand what it meant.
Footsteps sounded behind him, Xiao Bai also walked out, stood beside him, looked at the panicking Miao people far away, listened to the incessant shouts of the Miao people, gradually frowned, quietly said, "Something might have happened."
Ghost Li could also tell something was wrong, said, "What is it, what are those Miao people saying?"
Xiao Bai's face was solemn, said, "That deafening sound just now, it was the warning from the Dog Deity stone that the Miao people worshipped, unless it was a critical moment of extinction, this Dog Deity would never make such a sound. As far as I know, in the past thousand years, the Miao Dog Deity had only made one warning. "
Ghost Li felt a wave of irritation, right now BiYao's life and death were all pinned on that mysterious great shaman in the Miao altar, yet this strange thing happened. Just when he was about to say something and ask Xiao Bai for clarification, the quiet night sky of the Seven Mile Cave, started to change tremendously.
In the night sky that was twinkling with starlight, thick dark clouds suddenly started to gather, covering the stars in the sky one by one. Those layers of dark clouds swarmed in from all directions, the wind and clouds changed, extremely strange.
The insignificant people standing on the ground, could not help but cried out in fear, countless of them started to run around, following which more of them started to kneel and worship towards that Miao altar.
Under the heavy dark clouds, this piece of land that was originally filled with joy turned into desolation.
Ghost Li frowned, quietly said, "There are cultivators coming."
Xiao Bai beside him, looked at the sky, said, "Where are they from, do you know?"
Ghost Li slowly shook his head, said, "From this skill of manipulating wind and clouds, it is very strange, not like Central Plains Good Faction skills, also very different from the Evil Sect."
Xiao Bai's lips moved, a strange expression flashed past her face, as if she thought of something but for some reason, she did not say it out.
Right now as the dark clouds got lower and lower, the Miao people in the Seven Mile Cave seemed to find it more and more difficult to even breathe, everyone was shocked, the chaos became even more obvious. In this chaotic moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the Miao people, Ghost Li looked from afar, it was the Miao tribe leader Tu MaGu.
Tu MaGu shouted loudly at the Miao people, waving his arms with force, gradually the Miao people calmed down slightly, under Tu MaGu's command, the women and children started to run towards a distant mountain peak, leaving behind only the able-bodied men, many of them holding weapons, clearly the Miao people also knew that the situation was dire, prepared to fight to the death.
In the chaos, Tu MaGu glanced towards the riverbank, saw Ghost Li both standing outside the door, he was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head to signal, again focused his attention on commanding his people.
The dark clouds gradually lowered, illuminating Xiao Bai's face with uncertainty. Suddenly, she quietly spoke to Ghost Li, "With this unfathomable cultivator around, I'm afraid the Miao people are not his match, do you want to help them?"
Ghost Li was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Since BiYao wants to rely on them …"
Before he could finish, suddenly a strange deafening sound was heard from the dark clouds in the sky, like a sudden clap of thunder, like a beast's roar, instantly the dark clouds seemed to be burning, glaring brilliantly, inside and outside the clouds, blazing golden light was everywhere.
The next moment, in the rumbling sound from deep within the clouds, a huge fireball descended from the sky, carrying raging flames but in the most central area, there seemed to be a strange black flame burning. Before it reached the ground, the surrounding trees were all scorched. The Miao people were shocked and exclaimed but the speed of the fireball was extremely fast, before the Miao people could run away, a sharp sound was heard piercing through the air, [Rumble rumble rumble] rushed over and crashed onto the ground.
In the deafening sound, innumerable broken limbs flew out along with the burning flames, a tragic sight, wails were heard everywhere.
Ghost Li's countenance changed, he did not expect the person in the dark clouds to attack without warning, he was about to fly up to help the Miao people when he felt his clothes on his back tighten, it was Xiao Bai who was pulling him back.
Ghost Li felt puzzled and looked at her, Xiao Bai glanced far away and said, "Don't be anxious, look over there."
Ghost Li followed her gaze and saw that Xiao Bai was looking at the Miao altar halfway up the mountain, on the platform at the top of the hill, illuminated by the raging flames, a withered and hunched figure stood majestically, looking up at the sky. Although the distance was too far and he could not see that person clearly but from that figure, Ghost Li immediately recognized, that was the mysterious great shaman in the Miao altar.
