The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 854 Lvjiazhuang

Lujiazhuang is an inconspicuous small village at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

Most of its members are Hezhong people who moved here during the Anshi Rebellion, and they all have blood and pedigree relations with each other.

Therefore, Lujiazhuang is more united than other villages near Chang'an. As long as outsiders come here, the whole village will know it immediately.

Especially after that day four years ago, the villagers inside and outside Lujiazhuang have all raised their vigilance to a certain extent.

"It seems that it is impossible to find clues from here."

A slightly worn gray monk's robe, with a special Jiedao hanging on his waist...

Pei Wende just stood quietly outside Lu's Village, which was enough to make the villagers here show vigilance.

In fact, it has been more than half a month since Pei Wende came to Lujiazhuang, but he still can't get rid of the villagers' rejection of him.

At first, Pei Wende thought that it was the appearance of him holding a Jiedao that made them uneasy.

But after living in the ruined temple outside the village for a few days, Pei Wende discovered that the villagers here have the same attitude towards all outsiders.

The most important thing is that in this short period of less than half a month, the number of outsiders who came to Lu's Village has far exceeded the normal number.

You know, in this day and age, going out is a close call.

Villagers in ordinary villages hardly see a few outsiders throughout the year, especially in small villages like Lujia Village, which consist of only a dozen households.

But it happened to be such a small village, during the half month that Pei Wende lived temporarily, more than a dozen outsiders had been discovered.

And those outsiders who hid and did not show up will only be more than this number.

"There are no clues in the village, so you can try asking people outside the village."

Quietly poking her head out of her collar, Xiaoqing, who was also somewhat curious, gave her own suggestion.

She originally thought that after getting the clue of Xuanjue's reincarnation, she would be able to find out the other party's whereabouts with a little effort.

Unexpectedly, there are indeed not many families surnamed Lu at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, but these people are all extremely vigilant.

Even if Pei Wende has the convenient supernatural power of his mind, it is difficult to ask the clues he wants.

To be honest, if it were Xiaoqing's original personality, she would have already considered whether to use more extreme methods to force the villagers to speak.

Now the next best thing to propose to "ask" those people outside the village is obviously impossible to be a normal way of questioning.

"I also took a look at those outsiders. Basically, there are all kinds of people."

Nodding and agreeing to Xiaoqing's suggestion, Wen Wende actually already had this intention.

The people in the village are all ordinary people, and there is a high probability that they are related by blood to Xuan Jue's reincarnation.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it is impossible for Pei Wende to question them.

But those people with three religions and nine streams are different. Pei Wende can see that these people are more or less stained with human life, and among them are some heretic practitioners who are full of evil spirits.

"Have you found a suitable target?"

Xiao Qing, who was in the same mind as Pei Wende, suddenly raised her head and asked in surprise.

For Pei Wende's stubbornness, no one knows better than Xiaoqing who has been with him for so many years.

Although he was always involved in various battles, Pei Wende actually always maintained an inexplicable principle, and would never take the initiative to resort to force unless it was absolutely necessary.

Such Pei Wende actually took the initiative to open his mouth this time and planned to use force to interrogate him.

From the side, it shows how much he attaches importance to Xuanjue's reincarnation, or more precisely, to Pei Hui.

"Those ordinary people definitely don't know much. At best, they are young people who want to come here to fish in troubled waters..."

"If you want to know what happened in Lujia Village, you still have to ask those heretic practitioners."

His eyes swept across the entire Lujiazhuang inadvertently. Pei Wende wandered here for more than half a month, and he was able to confirm that there was definitely no child named Lu Yan in the village.

Not only that, all the children in Lu's Village have been secretly sent away.

Most of those still staying in Lujiazhuang are adults with the surname Lu.

If it wasn't for being unable to part with the fields here, Pei Wende would not have doubted at all whether he would still be able to see the villagers of Lu's Village here today.

——Land is life, and land is the guarantee for the continuation of future generations.

Even if the villagers who hold this point of view encounter danger, as long as they are not forced to the point of desperation, it is absolutely impossible for them to easily abandon the land they have cultivated over the years.

"Heretic cultivator?"

After pondering for a moment, Xiaoqing kept recalling the outsiders he had seen in the past half month, and finally locked his target on a woman with a skinny face.

"Is that the thin-faced woman?"

Among the outsiders in Lujia Village in the past half month, it seems that only the thin-faced woman has a little evil spirit.

Relying on her own keen perception of vitality, Xiaoqing could feel the evil spirit tainted by that woman.

However, Xiaoqing originally thought that the other party was a victim of a disaster, so that's why he was tainted with evil spirits.

But now hearing what Pei Wende said, that woman is obviously not an ordinary person.

Every time thinking about this, Xiaoqing envies Pei Wende's clairvoyance.

Because all evil spirits, no matter how realistic their disguises are, they cannot escape Pei Wende's eyes.

It's a pity that due to the different paths of practice, no matter how envious Xiaoqing is, it is impossible to obtain Pei Wende's celestial clairvoyance.

Not to mention Xiaoqing, even other Buddhist practitioners are definitely not as keen as Pei Wende's heavenly eye in terms of insight into evil spirits.

"She's right."

Continuing to nod to affirm Xiaoqing's remarks, Pei Wende murmured thoughtfully.

"Although her disguise is perfect, even you can only detect a little bit of evil..."

"But I'm sure she's not human, at least not normal."

There was a slight pause in the tone, and Pei Wende's expression became a little more serious.

"In order to prevent that guy from jumping over the wall in a hurry and hurting innocent people, we have to wait until she is far away from the village before we can do it."

Hearing this, Xiaoqing finally understood why Pei Wende had noticed the abnormality of the woman long ago, but never explained it to herself.

This guy was clearly worried about himself, afraid that his impulsiveness would disturb the woman.

After all, Xiaoqing's temper is there, she is not a "bad guy" like Pei Wende who cares about ordinary people's casualties.

Even if today's Xiaoqing already possesses some humanity, she also understands some rules of how human society operates.

But once it concerns her own or Pei Wende's interests, Xiaoqing will definitely attack the woman immediately.

"You guy..."

Muttering something vaguely, Xiaoqing, who knew it well, didn't get entangled in this issue.

"Then she is planning to leave the village now?"
