Chapter 4

Shuiying was stunned for a moment, took out a small ingot of silver and put it on the table, and smiled, "I'm sorry to bother you, father-in-law." Then he got up and got out of the teahouse. The old man said loudly behind him, "Girl, don't go forward and look back early!"

Shuiying's heart moved, and his feet paused slightly, but he only hesitated a little, and then accelerated his pace again. After so long, she has finally gained something. How can she not go to see the end?

The remote path soon came to the end, and what appeared in front of you was a flat and wide avenue. On both sides of the road were staggered farmland and houses. Roosters crowing and dogs barking, cooking smoke was ling, full of vitality, and there was no man-eating quicksand! Shuiying looked at the road in front of him and laughed angrily. He was deceived by the old man. It seems that immortals are not necessarily smarter than mortals.She stopped and thought about whether to go back to the old man to settle the bill, or to go to Ping Anji? Then, she chose the latter.

Two hours later, Shuiying saw a blue stone tablet engraved with three powerful blood-red characters in the afterglow of the sunset: Ping An Collection.

The white clothes of the water shadow gently brushed the boundary monument. She really wanted to see what this place that caused the "evil" look like. Not far from the boundary monument, there is a bitter cypress tree. The tree is so thick that it needs several people to hold it together. It is lush and covers the sky and the sun. The shade of the tree almost covers the entire intersection. I'm afraid such a tree has passed hundreds of spring and autumn.

Shuiying stood under the tree, looked up at the huge tree canopy, and praised it. The wind blew, and there was a faint cry coming with the wind. It seemed that many people were crying. It was the young women who cried sadly, and it was the young children who cried loudly.The shadow of the water looked around, but the surroundings were empty and empty. The cry continued, as if it was far away, and it seemed to be very close, elusively fluctuating.

"Is there really something wrong here?" Shuiying sitered and turned his head to look at the road he came from. It was still a flat road, and there was no change. However, the fire whispered in the sheath, and the cold color of the purple smoke also became gloomy. These two spiritual objects have felt danger and ominous. Shuiying secretly regretted her recklessness, but since she has arrived here, she can't look back. If it's really her fate, even if she wants to escape, there is nowhere to escape.

Shuiying held the hilt of the sword tightly and was careful all the way. When she was in charge of the lamp, she walked into the center of the town. The town was really big, and the houses were lined up, but most of the rooms were dark. Only the lights came out of the windows of a few houses, and the water shadow knocked on the door of one of them.

"Here we go. It's so late, who is it?" The voice of inquiry was accompanied by hurried footsteps. With a squeak, the dilapidated wooden door opened, and a middle-aged woman in coarse cloth poked her head out. When she saw the shadow of the water, she seemed to be shocked. She looked at her up and down and asked timidly, "Girl, you don't seem to be... from the town?"

"Well, I'm from outside. Auntie, can I stay at your house for one night?" Shuiying asked with a smile.

"Outside?" The woman was even more surprised. She grabbed Shuiying and said, "You mean you are from Ping'anji?"

"Yes." Shuiying responded and tried to break free from the woman's hand, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger. Perhaps, the old man did not lie to her. The road was just a trap specially set for her.

"The head of the family, come and have a look! Ping An gathers outsiders!" The woman pulled her into the room and shouted, with obvious choking in her voice.

The curtain of the back room suddenly opened, and a man stumbled and rushed out, "Who? Who is an outsider from Ping'anji?"

"It's this girl." The woman said and pushed the water shadow over. The man's eyes widened and stared at her, looking at her for half a cup of tea, and then asked hoarsely, "Are you an immortal who flew all the way?"

Shuiying couldn't laugh or cry. She didn't know how to explain it. She was indeed an immortal, but she didn't come by flying. After a long time, she moaned, "I... came from a big road."

."The road?" The couple's surprise and request were expected by Shuiying. They said at the same time, "Can the girl take us to see the road?"

They didn't see the way! In front of them was an endless sea of black sand, and the water shadow was not surprised. She bent down and grabbed a handful of sand grains, which were dark, like night and death. The fine sand gently slipped between her fingers, and the loud voice seemed to laugh at her.

"Girl, how did you... get here?"

Shuiying couldn't answer the woman's doubts. For a moment in silence, she took up the "wind control secret" and floated up. If it was just an ordinary sea of sand, it would not be possible to trap her.

But she only flew less than a foot.Her body suddenly became heavy, as if a huge suction force on the ground pulled her down. She remembered the old man's words that this was a piece of cannibal quicksand. Maybe not only cannibes, but also immortals can eat.

She exhaled a stream of fire in an instant, inserted it into the sand, and then picked it up with force. The sand and gravel scattered like a black waterfall. Her body also took advantage of this force to rise again, turned over in the air, and fell next to the boundary monument. She gasped and took the sword.Into the sheath, the cold sweat has soaked the clothes.

"You are so good at it!" The man raised his sleeve to wipe off the beads of sweat on his forehead, and a smile of admiration appeared on his shocked face. "For fifty years, no one has ever been able to come out of this sand alive!"

."What on earth happened here? Why did it become like this?" Although the water shadow did not sink into the sand, there was still a fear of being swallowed up. She locked her eyebrows tightly and was flustered.

"I was only three years old when this piece of sand appeared," the man sighed, "Even the old people don't know what's going on, but overnight, the road to the outside of the town was gone..."

"The road is still there!" Shuiying suddenly interrupted him, "I came from that road. This quicksand is just an illusion. The person who made it wanted to lure me here, so he temporarily canceled the illusion, and now it has been restored.

The couple looked at each other. The woman suddenly bent her knees and begged with tears in her eyes, "Girl, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Please show mercy, save us, save us!"

Shuiying hurriedly helped her up and muttered, "Has anything unusual happened after this town was isolated?"

The same fear suddenly appeared on the two faces. After a moment of silence, the man coughed dryly and whispered, "Since there is this piece of sand, there will be death in the town every fifteenth day of the lunar month."

The woman wiped her tears and said, "All the dead are women and children. About 20 years old, women who have just become mothers, and their babies who are only one or two years old, and they are all boys. What a sin!"

"The murderer came and went without a trace, and no one had ever seen the murderer. Rumor has it that it is not man-made, but I don't know whether it is a demon, a ghost, or a demon? It is a woman and a child who are dead now. What about the future?It will always be our turn. Even if it is not killed, it will starve to death. Although there are many fields in Ping'anji, it is not safe to be safe. Who has the heart to farm the land? In addition, more and more people have died, and half of the fields have been occupied by graves!" The man smiled miserably and said, "Where on earth did Ping An Ji offend? Why did you torture us so slowly!"
