Central Plains, twenty miles outside of HeYang City.
The sky gradually darkened, the pedestrians on the ancient path also gradually disappeared, it was a time of chaos, demons were rampant, although they were at the foot of the Good Faction's Qing Yun Sect mountain, but no one could say for sure if they would suddenly meet any demons or ghosts.
Everyone only had one life, even the common people cherished their own lives, not to mention that the demon beast catastrophe had just passed, the people who had survived, naturally cherished themselves even more.
Just that, there were still a few figures, walking conspicuously on the road, an old man at the front, with a celestial demeanour, holding a bamboo pole, on it hung an old cloth, written on it, 'Immortal Guide' four words. Behind him followed a man and a woman, the man with a headscarf covering his face, the woman delicate and cute, although the sky was dark but she still seemed to be concentrating on a black wordless book in her hands.
This was naturally Tanis Ka, Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist.
Along the way, they dragged their feet, Zhou YiXian would occasionally find a passerby to pull aside, beaming with joy and talk nonsense, Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist naturally could not stand it, just that those who were pulled for fortune-telling, were really like what Zhou YiXian said before, after being told by him, all of them were greatly energized, after paying, they seemed to be reignited and happily left.
In the end, Zhou YiXian earned his fill of money, Xiao Huan was too lazy to care about him, she only cared about reading. In this period of time, Xiao Huan became more and more fascinated by the book that Mr Ghost left behind, not only would she read it when she was resting, even when she was walking, she would not let go of the book, right now the sky was already dark but she did not seem to notice it, still fully immersed in the book.
Wild Dog Taoist called out to Tanis Ka, said, "Senior, it seems like we will not be able to reach HeYang City today, if we cannot find the family, I'm afraid we will have to spend the night in the wilderness."
Tanis Ka looked at the sky, nodded his head, then looked around, but only saw darkness, not to mention that there were no people living in this wilderness, not even a dilapidated temple or a dilapidated house could be seen.
Tanis Ka coughed, saw Wild Dog Taoist was looking at him, his granddaughter Tonni did not have any reaction, still following behind Wild Dog Taoist, focused on reading that black ghost book. Tanis Ka had always felt that it was inappropriate for his granddaughter to read this book of Ghost Dao, but he could not tell what was wrong. Every time he talked about how cruel and evil Ghost Dao was, Xiao Huan would use one sentence to dismiss him:
"This demonic technique has a lot of ways to save people. It's much stronger than your physiognomy!"
Every time Tanis Ka heard this, he would be speechless but he was thick-skinned enough and refused to admit defeat, but he could not continue to ask Xiao Huan to throw away the Ghost Dao. No matter what, Great Immortal Zhou found Xiao Huan's book to be an eyesore. He shouted angrily, "Xiao Huan, why are you still reading that damn book at a time like this?"
Xiao Huan then raised her head from the book, looked at Tanis Ka, impatiently said, "Grandpa, we are walking so slowly, not because I am reading the book, it's because you are scamming people by fortune-telling, that's why we are walking so slowly."
Tanis Ka choked, blushed, coughed twice, turned his head, laughed dryly and said, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this, I mean, we have no place to stay now, we have to think of a way."
Wild Dog Taoist shook his head, said, "We really can't find a place to stay, senior you are more familiar with this place than us, think if there are any dilapidated temples nearby so we can spend the night."
Tanis Ka snorted, sneered and said, "How do you know I am more familiar with this place, although I was born in HeYang City but I have always been wandering the world, when would I be familiar with this place … uh!"
Suddenly, he seemed to be deep in thought and stopped halfway through his sentence.
Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist were puzzled, Xiao Huan said, "Grandpa, what are you trying to say?"
Tanis Ka frowned, seemed to recall something but could not be sure, he slowly turned and looked ahead, seemed to be trying hard to recall something,
"That... seems like I really remember, not far ahead there is a fork road, enter from that small path, although it is a little far but there is indeed a house there."
Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist became happy, Xiao Huan smiled and said, "Really, then what are we waiting for, let's go."
Tanis Ka for some reason, seemed hesitant, his brows kept frowning, trying hard to recall something, said, "But I keep feeling something is not right, it has been too long, I can only vaguely remember there is a house in this direction outside HeYang City, but that house does not seem to be a good place. But what exactly it is, I can't remember … "
Xiao Huan rolled her eyes at him, walked ahead and ignored him, she said, "Alright, let's go quickly, at least we have a house, it doesn't matter how broken it is, at least it's better than sleeping outdoors."
Xiao Huan left first, Wild Dog Taoist naturally followed. Tanis Ka walked at the back, involuntarily followed, but kept patting his head, frowning tightly, his mouth mumbling, said, "What exactly is the house, why can't I remember!"
After walking for a distance, the sky had completely darkened, but with the help of the few weak stars, the three of them indeed found an almost hidden small path, leading deep into the wilderness.
Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist nodded, walked towards that small path, Wild Dog Taoist even hastened his steps, walking ahead of Xiao Huan, at the same time vigilantly looking around. Only Tanis Ka was still following at the back, his mouth occasionally muttering with some grumbling, seemed like he still could not remember the origin of that house in his memory and what it was used for.
This small path was actually very long, the three of them walked for almost an hour and still did not see any signs of a house, Xiao Huan started to suspect, turned and said to Tanis Ka, "Grandpa, you really did not remember wrongly?"
Tanis Ka was glanced at by Xiao Huan, unconsciously felt guilty, laughed dryly and said, "This... this... you know people are getting older, sometimes it is hard to avoid remembering things wrongly, but I really remember that there is a house on this road, just that what the house was used for, I can't remember for the moment. Besides, after so many years, it is not impossible that the house was demolished, even if no one demolished it, the wind, frost, rain and snow most likely collapsed. "
Xiao Huan for a moment could not speak, shook her head, turned around, suddenly Wild Dog Taoist stopped, turned back and shouted, "You all quickly come, the house is here."
Xiao Huan and Tanis Ka were surprised, Tanis Ka was overjoyed, laughed loudly and said, "Ah ha, old man I said, with this immortal's intelligence, how can I not remember there is a house here, how can I remember wrongly!"
Xiao Huan ignored him, quickly walked to Wild Dog Taoist, looked ahead, saw at the end of the small path, there was a house, the area was not small, but looking from afar, the courtyard was barren, the walls damaged, there was no sign of human presence, obviously it had been abandoned for many years.
Tanis Ka slowly walked over, shaking his head, his mouth made clicking sounds, seemed to be praising himself, Xiao Huan rolled her eyes at him, said, "Let's go quickly, grandpa."
After speaking, the three of them walked towards the house, the night breeze blew over, the wilderness was slightly cold, the three of them shrunk their necks.
Walking nearer, they could see more clearly, this was really a dilapidated house, where the walls used to be were collapsed, broken, even the courtyard door was left with an extremely dilapidated door frame, even the door planks were gone. As for the courtyard, there was only one house, the roof seemed to be missing by half, even the beams were exposed. The house seemed to have a door, it was unlatched, the entire house looked like it was built with wooden planks, after the wind and rain eroded, a moldy smell wafted over.
Xiao Huan frowned but Zhou YiXian was rather happy, slowly walked into the yard, looked around, although it was overgrown with weeds but there was nothing strange, seemed like although he still could not remember what kind of house this was but at least it should not be dangerous.
