Chapter 578 The Faceless Woman
Hearing Ran Qingmo's description, Xu Yuan frowned slightly unconsciously and glanced at the surrounding abyss, which was completely plunged into darkness.
woman?
Building a manor in a place where these bugs are everywhere?
Judging from my experience in the past half month, although the narrow valley here is dangerous, it depends on who it is. People with higher levels of master cultivation will not encounter life danger.
But it will be extremely troublesome.
The brain structure of these insect monsters seems to be somewhat different from that of monster beasts.
In the outside world, even the lowest level monsters know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but these monster insects have no brains at all. When they see living creatures, they just want to eat for safety.
Living in this narrow valley, even if you are as strong as a saint, if your residence is left behind by the special pheromones secreted by those insects, you have to devote your mind to dealing with the incoming waves of monsters and insects every day, and you cannot live in seclusion.
A strange feeling spread in his heart, Xu Yuan frowned and asked in a low voice:
“What's so special about that woman?”
"have no idea."
The village is not big, and there are not many people in the village. Looking around, you can see about twenty villagers planting some unique and weird-looking crops on the loess outside the village in the drizzle.
This made Xu Yuan's brain a little confused.
etc
This village is the manor that Ran Qingmo mentioned?
Smiling, he threw these thoughts out of his mind and returned to the subject. Xu Yuan felt that the woman should be a reclusive person.
“You want to go over and see her?”
Xu Yuan told the truth, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "We have been here for more than half a month, and we want to go over and see if there are any clues."
Strictly speaking, Qianjixia Gorge is not a deserted area, at least most of its locations are not, because the area it spans is too large, somewhat similar to the Great Rift Valley across East Africa in Xu Yuan's previous life.
This area is an out-and-out desert. The boundless yellow sand and countless types of monsters directly turn this area into a Death Valley.
But after thinking about it, what Da Bingtuozi said seems to be right. This is the case with the manors in Dayan.
When there is no conflict, even when facing the lowest level cultivator, she will not randomly investigate others.
In those areas with suitable environments, there are even some small and small countries that are older than Great Yan.
Ran Qingmo's beautiful eyes flashed and asked:
But is there something wrong with the appearance of such a manor in the Monster Valley with no village or shop behind it?
Playing Liaozhai, right?
I just don't know if there is a female ghost in the manor.
Let alone humans, even decent mammals were devoured by those giant insects.
But after all, this is the only discovery his treasure hunter has made in half a month, so he must find a way to go and have a look.
At noon the next day, it rained abnormally in the desert. The dense rainwater fell from the narrow valley top into the canyon.
It was a village built around a manor covering an area of dozens of acres.
But the problem is that this narrow gorge is obviously not within it.
People who live in seclusion generally like to have a leisurely time. It is a good story to entertain someone when they meet by chance. It is somewhat rude to bring others to bother them after refusing.
“How about I go over and ask that sister now?”
But at this moment,
Looking down from a high ground, Xu Yuan saw a human settlement not far away through the dim light of the rainy day.
Compared to him who likes to use his spiritual vision to detect other people's coins at will, Da Bingtuozi is an out-and-out lawful person.
Ran Qingmo thought about it seriously and replied:
"Maybe. That's okay. That sister seems to be very hospitable. I also saw other guests in the manor."
Ran Qingmo paused and said tentatively:
After all, with Ran Qingmo's good fortune, it is not unusual for him to meet a reclusive boss.
Compared to the high-rise courtyards in Dayan, the mansion in front of me is more similar to the kind of mansion of a rural landowner and an old wealthy family.
Providing protection to these farmers may be some kind of quirk of the family.
Although most of the area is dry loess, there are also valleys, rivers and oases, and even some flat areas have unique lush forests.
Oh no, the Great Flame Yin Ghost has no IQ. If it does, it could just be a female goblin.
He said,
His thoughts were interrupted, Xu Yuan looked at the helpless Da Bing Tuozi and smiled helplessly.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
“Then what do you think the woman's attitude will be towards us if we go to visit together?”
At the third entry level, there are no guards guarding the courtyard. Two lifelike stone lions guard the door. The sandalwood courtyard door has no nails and only two copper rings to buckle the door.
Ran Qingmo answered simply and neatly, saying:
With a hint of uneasiness, Xu Yuan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, activated his skills and suddenly jumped directly. He rose and fell with the two women beside him, and landed there without disturbing anyone. The entrance to the house in the middle of the village.
Well, I almost forgot about this.
“I don't usually use my soul to detect others.”
But then there should be no more information.
With a landlord's house as the center, and dozens of farmers working on the periphery for support, it is called a castle, or a manor.
The only thing that caught Xu Yuan's attention was that the plaque hanging high above the courtyard gate was empty, with no writing on it.
The patter of rainwater fell along the angled eaves like broken pearls.
After standing for a moment, Xu Yuan slowly walked up the steps, pulled the door knocker and clicked the door lightly three times. From time to time, the heavy sandalwood door slowly opened from the inside with a "squeak".
A strong man came into view.
Bronze skin, angular face, and a servant-style gown.
The strong man saw the three strangers outside the door. His eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, and then he realized something and said:
"Sir, are you the distinguished guest that Madam said? Madam has already told me, please come with me."
After saying that, he stepped aside, motioned for the three of them to come in, then turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
Muttered "Thank you", Xu Yuan followed the other person and glanced roughly at the strong man.
There is no cultivation and there are calluses on the hands, but they should be caused by work.
Seems to be a farmer.
But what makes people feel strange is that the chest and the word circle on the back of the robe of this strong man's servant are still empty like a plaque outside the courtyard.
Does this reclusive person not want to reveal his last name?
Since it was his first visit, Xu Yuan did not ask the questions in his heart.
The mansion is the kind of courtyard with four entrances marked by wealthy families.
After walking through two atriums and walking along a waterside corridor for more than ten steps, Xu Yuan came into view in the main hall of the mansion, and a gentle female voice came from the main hall at the right time:
“I'm not feeling well, and I'm a bit out of touch. I hope you don't mind, sir.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
The light on the rainy day was very dim. Only the faint light from the open door could be seen in the main hall, and a woman was standing in the hall.
It was a woman with a good figure, voluptuous and plump curves, but she was only wearing linen clothes. However, her face was obscured by the darkness in the room, but just by looking at her figure and voice, you could roughly guess what the woman's appearance should be. Extraordinary.
It was this scene that made Xu Yuan's steps subconsciously stop for a moment.
He is no longer the strong man in the sewers of the Prime Minister's Mansion back then. He is able to see without any light due to his body-melting cultivation, but at this moment he cannot see the face of the woman.
With a slight hesitation, Xu Yuan has not yet used his spiritual vision to investigate.
Since the other party is like this, I guess he doesn't want to reveal his true appearance.
But you are so cautious, is it because you have identity issues and you are afraid that the news will be leaked and people will be hunted down?
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan continued at his feet and said with a hearty smile:
“It's a blessing for us that Madam doesn't mind my nagging.”
As he walked, Xu Yuan sent a message to the souls of the two women beside him:
"There should be some issues with this woman's identity. Be careful with what you say for a while, so as not to offend the other party."
After hearing this, Bai Muxi and Ran Qingmo glanced at Xu Yuan with confusion, but still silently kept these words in their hearts.
Accompanied by the drizzle outside the corridor, Xu Yuan and the others soon walked slowly into the main hall, and the strong man who led the way had already left when the woman appeared.
The woman invited the three of them to sit down, and with a gentle wave of her hand, she lit up the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the main hall. The warm yellow light instantly dispersed all the darkness in the room.
However, Xu Yuan still couldn't see the appearance of the Qing woman.
However, he noticed that the other person's belly, which was covered by linen clothes, was slightly swollen, as if he was pregnant. After the woman entertained the three of them to sit down, she went to the main hall toilet to get some tea, put it on the square table, and said softly:
“Country coarse tea, but it has a unique flavor. Sir, you can try it.”
The woman also seemed to realize that although Xu Yuan had the lowest cultivation level, he was obviously the dominant one among the three.
The guest of honor was seated, and the courtyard was very clean. With the cool drizzle outside the courtyard, it felt like entering a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Please, Madam, please pour the tea yourself."
Replied politely, Xu Yuan picked up the tea and took a sip, his eyes slightly widened:
"Bitter but sweet, is this Suicha? No, it should be a kind of buckwheat."
With her face shrouded in darkness, the woman let out a gentle chuckle:
“Are you a good tea ceremony master, sir?”
“The more you drink, the more you can recognize something.”
Xu Yuan shook his head, sat upright on the chair, and asked softly:
“Is this fine buckwheat tea grown in dry fields outside?”
“Only this kind of crops can be grown in the gorge.”
“So, Madam, you are really kind-hearted.”
“What?” The faceless woman didn't understand what she meant.
“All the dry fields grow fine tea, and no business travelers pass by here. The rice consumed by the farmers outside the village can only be bought by you personally, Madam.”
The faceless woman was silent for a while, shook her head slightly, and said in a soft voice:
“Not entirely.”
"oh?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party's dark face.
“.” The faceless woman did not answer this question.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yuan skipped the topic and said with a smile:
“No matter what, it was you, madam, who saved them.”
“The people who fled here are here. I just can't help but die. Over time, it's become what it is now.”
The faceless woman's voice had a hint of tranquility, as if she was smiling: “Besides, a person who has been pure for a long time will eventually feel lonely.”
After saying that, the faceless woman glanced around the three people and whispered:
“I haven't asked you how to call me sir yet?”
Xu Yuan paused for a moment and said with a smile:
“Zhou Yunqing, these two are Ying'er and Chang Xi.”
Hearing this, the faceless woman said with a smile, half-joking:
“Sir, these two beauties are really worth their weight in gold.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan had not yet reacted, and a flash of vigilance flashed in the eyes of Bai Muxi and Ran Qingmo at the same time.
They both wore veils, but the other party was able to explore their true faces without disturbing them.
The faceless woman seemed to notice this, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. The way I cultivated is a bit special, and the things that cover my face are basically useless to me."
.”Xu Yuan.
Did this woman deliberately point her finger at him?
No, it's impossible.
His sword masters don't have this kind of skills. They can detect a reclusive pregnant woman just by chance. Then Xu Yuan might as well believe that he will choke to death when he drinks water.
Xu Yuan broke the silence and patted the two women beside him:
“Madam, you don't have to mind. If it's convenient, could you tell me how you call me?”
The faceless woman was silent for a while and said softly:
“Sir, please call me Wan.”
“Wan?”
“Well, the word is just one word.”
Odd name.
But Xu Yuan was not surprised.
After all, there is a sickly old woman named Qing in her own prison.
After introducing each other, the oil fire hanging on the wall in the hall danced lightly, and there was no sound for a while.
Xu Yuan was hesitating whether to ask for clues or not.
Although he firmly believes in Da Bingtuozi's good fortune, there are always two sides. For Ran Qingmo, this may be a blessing, but for him it will become a disaster.
To Xu Yuan, the young woman named Wan in front of him exuded a mysterious atmosphere.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.
Otherwise, they would still leave, right?
There was silence for a moment, making up her mind, but Wan spoke first, her voice was very soft:
“Sir, are you here to find something?”
Xu Yuangang was choked on what he wanted to say. He hesitated for a moment and asked:
“Mrs. Wan, how did you know?”
Wan turned his head and seemed to glance at the rain curtain outside:
“I have often seen Miss Ying'er speeding by outside these days. If you, sir, want to ask me anything, I can answer it carefully.”
After a conversation, Xu Yuan finally decided to bother the other party for a while and stayed here temporarily after being invited by Mrs. Wan.
Because Mrs. Wan said,
The place where the little dragon girl once appeared is near here. If she finds him again, she will tell him.
According to the plot in "Cangyuan", without the player's intervention, the opponent can also find the remains of his brother in the Dragon Burial Valley.
This time point is random in "Cangyuan".
Judging from the current intelligence, the little dragon girl should have some information by now.
Stay here and try your luck to cut off the beard with the blessing of the big ice lump.
The days passed like this day by day,
The treasure-hunting girl goes out early and comes back late every day. She goes out to hunt for treasures with her ink sword before dawn, and only goes back to her house to practice after dark.
Compared with Ran Qingmo's hard work, the lives of Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi seem extremely idle.
During the daytime, he stayed in the house practicing and sneaking out.
Xu Yuanze was wandering inside and outside the manor, basking in the sun, drinking tea and reading a book.
Mrs. Wan's face was still shrouded in darkness.
This kind of leisurely life outside the world made Xu Yuandu not want to worry about the mess of troubles inside and outside Dayan.
I heard from Mrs. Wan that there is another guest who lives here regularly, but Xu Yuan has never seen him.
In addition, there is a large library in the house, which contains many strange and strange books, describing the customs and legends of this desert, which is quite interesting in describing strange events.
for example,
It is rumored that there is an insect saint in the desert, who was revered and worshiped by many local tribes.
for example,
This insect saint was bitten half to death by the desert wolf.
Another example,
This worm saint once gave birth to a child with a human woman.
The story of Zhiyi is quite well written, with both nose and eyes.
It's another brand new day,
As Ran Qingmo went out, Xu Yuan also opened the door, wanting to go to the study to search for treasures to start a leisurely and comfortable day.
But his body froze subconsciously the moment he went out.
He saw a woman in the guest house.
She has a face like a peach blossom and is naturally charming, and her wide plain clothes cannot hide the softness and plumpness of her chest.
