Zhou Xueru covered her nose and said to the woman, "I think you are a lunatic. What a lunatic says is totally untrustworthy. Rong Chen Xianjun, let's ignore her and leave."

Jimo Yanzhou took some water and a towel to help Zhou Yun wash her hands, and said softly, "Yun'er, do you think what that woman said is credible?"

Zhou Yun said: "It depends on whether Immortal Lord Rongchen believes it or not? If he believes it, there is no need to assess its credibility."

Rong Chen suddenly spoke in a distant voice: "Take me to the village to have a look. If your child can be saved, I will find a way to save him."

But it was obvious that the child could not be saved.

When the woman heard this, she quickly kowtowed to Rong Chen and said, "Thank you, Immortal Lord." After that, she stood up holding the child and walked forward.

Jimo Yanzhou asked doubtfully, "Does Rongchen believe it or not?"

Zhou Yun looked at Rong Chen and Zhou Xueru who were following the woman on the bumpy path with bright eyes and a calm expression, and said, "The mayor of Tianhui City was injured by an evil cultivator, and strange things happened in the village outside the city. Let's follow and take a look."

"Are we going with them?" Jimo Yanzhou finally returned to his home, shouldn't he go home first?

"Your family didn't send anyone to pick you up. They only welcomed the disciples of Guiyi Sect into the city. Don't your family know you?" Zhou Yunyan said.

Jimo Yanzhou avoided Zhou Yun's sharp gaze, "The patriarch is seriously injured, and everyone in the family is busy taking care of him. They are anxious, so it's normal that they didn't see me."

Zhou Yun had previously told Han An of Guiyi Sect that Jimo Yanzhou was sent by the Jimo family to pick them up, and now that they have arrived in Tianhui City, there is no need to rely on Guiyi Sect to save their lives.

The system reminded: Listen to Zhou Xiaomei.

Jimo Yanzhou thought that he couldn't let Zhou Yun follow Rongchen. What if Rongchen took her away? So he said, "This happened within the jurisdiction of Tianhui City. As a descendant of the Jimo family, I should go and take a look."

The system sneered: You are really good at making excuses for yourself.

Zhou Yun has caught up with Rong Chen. Rong Chen didn't say anything when he saw Zhou Yun catching up. However, he was a little confused as to why Jimo Yanzhou didn't go home but followed him.

Zhou Xueru followed Rong Chen like a maid, which made Zhou Yun shake his head.

The woman led them over a mountain and arrived at the entrance of Moshang Village. There was a wooden archway at the entrance with the words "Moshang Village" carved on the plaque. The archway was very old.

Zhou Yun raised his sleeves and waved away the spider webs hanging from the archway, looking at the dilapidated wooden archway with doubt. The hollow wood carvings on the archway were covered with spider webs. At a glance, the village was shrouded in a gray fog and could not be seen clearly.

As soon as we entered the village, every house was closed and there was no one on the road. Occasionally, we heard a few dogs barking, but they were quickly scolded and the barking turned into whimpering.

The woman led them forward, and the further they went inside, the thicker the fog became.

Zhou Xueru spoke cautiously: "It's so weird here."

Rong Chen had a calm expression and walked slowly behind the woman. The woman walked to a house and pushed open the shaky door.

An old woman was washing clothes in the yard. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw the woman. She threw the stick in her hand away and pointed at the woman and cursed: "Crazy woman, you want to die? Why did you dig Erhu out again?"

The woman hugged the child tightly in her arms and said, "Aunt, this is my precious child."

The old woman was so angry that she grabbed the broom next to her and beat the woman, cursing as she beat her: "I will beat you to death, you crazy woman. I will let you dig other people's children's graves. I will beat you to death. If you weren't greedy, Bao'er would not have been taken away by the immortal. Bao'er is still so young, she is only five years old. How can you be so cruel? I will beat you to death!"

The woman hid and cried, "Aunt, I am my treasure."

Rong Chen had already followed the woman into the yard, and Zhou Xueru followed closely behind.

Zhou Yun stopped outside the door and did not enter the yard. Her eyes looked at the two stone lions at the door.

Seeing her standing outside, Jimo Yanzhou took back his foot that was about to enter the courtyard and glanced at Zhou Yun in confusion: "Xiao Yun'er? Why don't you go in? What are you looking at?"

"The stone lions at the door." Zhou Yun said, with a faint cold light in his eyes.

"There are stone lions at the door? Why don't I see them?" Jimo Yanzhou looked around. The door was clearly empty, so where would the stone lions be? Could it be that Yun'er saw something that he couldn't see?

Zhou Yun pointed to the bushes outside the steps at the door. A corner of a stone could be vaguely seen in the bushes. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that the fist-sized stone was the stone lion guarding the door.

"No way, whose house-guarding stone lions are the size of a palm? If you don't look carefully, you can't even see them." Jimo Yanzhou moved closer to the bushes and finally saw the pair of tiny house-guarding beasts in the bushes.

Jimo Yanzhou picked up the palm-sized little lion. Suddenly, cold wind blew everywhere, the leaves swayed wildly, the sky above his head was covered with dense clouds, dark clouds rolled in, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard in his ears.

The gate of the courtyard slammed shut. Jimo Yanzhou stood there blankly, holding the little stone lion in his hands, completely at a loss as to what to do.

The system laughed loudly: "You destroyed the beast that guarded the house."

Rong Chen didn't expect that he would be trapped. The scenery around him suddenly changed into a gloomy hall. A man in black was sitting in the main hall. There were men in black around him. Every day, they led a companion animal in their hands, including tigers, lions, rabbits, and dogs...

The woman ran into the hall holding a cat covered in blood, begging the man in the middle to help her.

Rong Chen and Zhou Xueru were outside the door and saw that the woman was the one who was holding the dead child outside the city.

The woman held the kitten in her arms and said to the majestic man in the center, "Please, immortal, save my baby."

Zhou Xueru pointed at the woman and said to Rong Chen, "My Lord, I said she was a lunatic. She was holding a dead baby and said it was her child. Now she is holding a cat and says it is her child."

A thin middle-aged man beside the majestic man pointed at the woman and said coldly, "You crazy woman, you haven't made enough trouble in the backyard, and you even made it in front of the headmaster."

The woman said anxiously: "I'm not making a fuss. This is really my baby. My baby has a black birthmark on the back of his hand." As she spoke, she raised the bloody cat's paw. The cat was covered in blood, and you could vaguely see that its original color was golden yellow.

"What's your child's name?" the man sitting at the head asked.

"Her name is Fang Baoer." The woman said Fang Baoer's name, and the cat in her arms whimpered in response. The woman called Baoer a few more times in a hurry, and the cat meowed and shed tears, then shrank into the woman's arms.
