Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

"Nimen, put this on. The fragrance here can bewitch people." Yaoyao took out a ball of cotton from the space and gave it to them.

He pulled out two small balls and stuffed them into his nostrils.

By the way, I also stuffed a cotton ball into Xiao Hei's nostrils.

A tuft of white hair reached out to take it, and very skillfully pinched a small cotton ball and stuffed it into its nostrils. Two small cotton balls were also stuffed into the green snake's nose.

The man and three beasts ignored the insect fog surrounding them and walked straight into Taohua Village.

A large ball of strange fire cleared the way ahead, burning one step at a time, bit by bit.

The surrounding insect fog was so thick that I couldn't see what was going on around me.

I can only see the road ahead.

The village was very quiet, without any sound at all.

"There is spiritual energy left over from Brother Xiao Ci's body. I guessed right. Brother Xiao Ci and the others are in trouble." Yaoyao said.

As she spoke, Yaoyao expanded the strange fire several times again, and the insect fog surrounding both sides of the road was instantly burned away.

The visual range has been expanded a little bit.

"He left in the direction of the mountain because he was depressed." Yaoyao looked at the faint spiritual energy in the air.

A tuft of white hair scratched his scalp, "I remember there is a cliff on the mountain of Taohua Village."

"Cliff?" Yaoyao frowned.

A tuft of white hair nodded. "There's a rope bridge connecting two mountains in front of that cliff. The mountain opposite is rich in resources. People from Taohua Village used to love going there to pick fruits and vegetables and hunt. Before I even became enlightened, I would often go there to practice. Then, for some reason, the plants on the mountain opposite the cliff withered overnight, and fog gradually rose in the mountain."

Then suddenly one day, the rope bridge connecting the two opposite mountains broke, and gradually no one went to that mountain anymore."

"Do you know what happened on that mountain?" Yaoyao asked, blinking her round eyes.

A tuft of white hair looked at Yaoyao with a strange expression, and said with his head down, "How could I know? If I hadn't had the urge to go back to the cave to see my disciples one day, I might have been in trouble. I might even have met Ni Men."

This makes sense, Yaoyao nodded.

"Let's go."

..................

Xiao Ci and his companions were forced to retreat step by step by the villagers of Taohua Village, and behind them was a deep abyss.

"What should we do? These villagers are obviously confused. They are all living innocent people. We can't pick up knives and chop them, right?" Chu Xiaoyi looked anxious.

Now it’s not right to kill, nor is it right not to kill.

The key is that if they don’t come up with a solution, they will die here.

Yue Yuan's face was sullen. "Let's see if we can knock them out, and try not to hurt these villagers."

They looked at each other, nodded, and put their swords into their scabbards.

He rushed towards the villagers, his hand like a knife, and chopped at their necks.

Sure enough, this method worked, and the villager fell to the ground with his eyes closed.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief with happy smiles on their faces.

But before they could be happy for long, the villager lying on the ground suddenly jumped up straight from the ground with a "whoosh".

He stared at Xiao Ci and the others with bloodshot eyes.

"This method is only effective against them temporarily, but it also gives us a chance to escape." Xiao Ci had a cold face, his eyes quickly looked at the villagers who suddenly stood up, turned around and chopped a villager to the ground.

But there were villagers in front and behind them who kept coming forward and surrounding them. They kept advancing and retreating, and could not leave the area around the cliff.

Because of the jade pendant, the villagers could not hurt them, but their situation was very bad in this situation.

Somehow, they felt that the fog on the opposite cliff was gradually moving towards them.

"What's going on? Why did the fog appear again?" Xiao Chuyi frowned.

Yue Yuan glanced at the mist and said, "That's not mist, those are tiny bugs. They're hard to spot with our human eyes. These bugs are tiny, and when they gather together they look like mist."

"Bugs, what kind of bug is so small?" Lu Jiu asked in confusion.

It was the first time they heard that the fog was actually just a bunch of little bugs.

"This is a kind of Gu, called Nightmare Gu. These insects are tiny and transparent. They can enter a person's dream and weave a beautiful dream, making the person sink into the dream and unknowingly be eaten by the Nightmare Gu, without decaying. It is said that hundreds of years ago, someone used this Gu on the battlefield, causing heavy losses to the enemy.

This method was extremely vicious, and the emperor at the time issued an order prohibiting its use on the battlefield.

The Gu Master was not welcomed by others and was eventually forced to retreat to the mountains and never came out again.

I read all this in an ancient book, and I don't know how to deal with this nightmare Gu." Yue Yuan said.

Lu Jiu nodded. "I heard from the Emperor that the incident was recorded and kept in Mingde Palace. This means that if this Gu is not resolved, these villagers will be eaten alive by the nightmare Gu in their dreams and die."

Yue Yuan nodded.

"After death, these villagers will become weapons of the Gu master, and will only kill people mindlessly."

In just a short while, the villagers forced several people back to the edge of the cliff.

"These villagers didn't hurt us. They just drove us back to the edge of the cliff and stopped one step away from us to look at us. What do they mean?" Chu Xiaoyi asked as he watched the villagers who drove them back to the edge of the cliff and stopped one step away from them.

Xiao Ci expressed his guess, "Could it be that they want us to cross the cliff? No, it should be that the person controlling the Gu wants us to go to the other side of the cliff."

The insect fog on the opposite side has reached the edge of the cliff. As if controlled by humans, it has formed a bridge on the mountains on both sides of the cliff...

They looked at each other. Could it be that he really wanted them to cross the mountain opposite?

The bridge was built, and the villagers who were one step away from them began to move towards them...

"Hey, hey, hey, don't come over here. If you come any closer, there will be no place for us to stand!" Chu Xiaoyi shouted quickly.

Sure enough, the villagers stopped when they heard this.

Xiao Ci and the others looked at each other secretly and communicated silently.

"The person behind the Nightmare Gu must have known we were coming to Taohua Village and was waiting for us here."

"If they wanted to kill us, they could have killed us without us knowing. But they led us here instead. There must be a conspiracy."

"In the current situation, we can only follow the instructions of the person controlling the Nightmare Gu and cross the cliff. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."
