Chapter 578 Faceless Woman

Hearing Ran Qingmo's description, Xu Yuan frowned slightly unconsciously and glanced at the surrounding gorge that had completely fallen into darkness.

Woman?

Building a manor in a place full of insects?

Judging from the experience of the past half month, although this narrow valley is dangerous, it depends on who you are. People with the cultivation level of a master or above will not be in danger of life.

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 monster beasts know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, but these monster insects have no brains at all. When they see living things, they only want to eat them for peace.

Living in this narrow valley, even if you are as strong as a saint, if your residence is left with traces of the special pheromones secreted by those insects, you have to spend your mind every day to deal with these incoming monster insects, and you can't live in seclusion quietly.

A strange feeling spread in his heart. Xu Yuan frowned and asked in a low voice:

"Is there anything special about that woman?"

"I don't know."

Ran Qingmo answered straightforwardly, saying:

"I don't usually use my spirit to detect other people."

"."

His thoughts were interrupted. Xu Yuan looked at the big ice ball with a face full of nothingness and smiled helplessly.

Yeah, I almost forgot about it.

Compared to him who likes to use his spirit vision to detect other people's coins at will, the big ice ball is an out-and-out lawful person.

When there is no enmity, even when facing the lowest-level cultivators, she will not detect others at will.

But this should not give us more information.

After a little thought, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:

"Then what do you think the woman will do to us if we go to visit together?"

Ordinary hermits generally like to be idle. It is still a good story to entertain someone who meets by chance. It seems a bit rude to bring others to bother after refusing.

But this is the only discovery of his treasure hunter in the past half month, so he must find a way to go and take a look.

Ran Qingmo's beautiful eyes flashed, and he asked:

"Do you want to go and see her?"

Xu Yuan told the truth, with a helpless tone: "We have been here for more than half a month, and I want to go and see if there are any clues."

Ran Qingmo thought about it seriously and replied:

"It should be possible. That sister seems to be very hospitable. I also met other guests in that manor."

After saying that,

Ran Qingmo paused and said tentatively:

"Or, I will go and ask that sister now?"

At noon the next day, it rained abnormally in the desert, and dense rain fell from the narrow valley top into the gorge.

Qianji Gorge is not strictly a Jedi, at least most of the location is not, because it spans a large area, somewhat similar to the Great Rift Valley that runs across East Africa in Xu Yuan's previous life.

Although most of the area is dry loess, there are also valley rivers and oases, and even some flat areas have unique lush forests.

In those areas with suitable environments, there are even some small countries that are older than Da Yan.

But the problem is that this narrow gorge is obviously not one of them.

This area is an absolute Jedi. The endless yellow sand and countless monster insects have directly turned this area into a death valley.

Not to mention people, even decent mammals have been eaten by those big insects.

But at this moment,

Looking down from a high ground, Xu Yuan saw a human settlement not far away in the dim light of the rainy day.

It was a village built around a manor covering dozens of acres.

The village was not big, and there were not many people in the village. When he looked around, he could see that there were more than 20 villagers who were planting some unique and strange crops on the loess outside the village in the drizzle.

This made Xu Yuan's mind a little confused.

Wait a minute

Is this village the manor that Ran Qingmo mentioned?

But on second thought, what Da Bingtuozi said seems to be correct. The manors in Dayan are like this.

With a landlord's courtyard as the center, dozens of farmers on the periphery cultivate and support it. It is called a earthen fort, also known as a manor.

But is there something wrong with the appearance of such a manor in the Yaochong Valley where there is no village in front and no shop behind?

Playing Liao Zhai, right?

I just don't know if there are any female ghosts in the manor.

Oh no, Dayan Yin ghosts have no IQ, and if there are any, they can only be female demons.

Chuckling and throwing these thoughts out of his mind, back to the topic, Xu Yuan thinks that the woman should be a hermit.

After all, it is not uncommon for Ran Qingmo to meet a hermit boss with his good fortune.

Protecting these farmers and people may be a kind of quirk of her.

With a vague sense of uneasiness, Xu Yuan exhaled a breath of foul air, activated his skills and leaped up and down. He and the two women beside him jumped up and down, and landed at the gate of the mansion in the middle of the village without disturbing anyone.

Compared with the high-ranking courtyards in Dayan, the mansion in front of him is more like the mansion of the landlords in the countryside.

The third-level entry level, there is no guard guarding the courtyard, two lifelike stone lions squatting to guard the door, the sandalwood courtyard door, no nails on the door, only two copper rings for knocking on the door.

The only thing that caught Xu Yuan's attention was that the plaque hanging high above the courtyard gate was empty, without any writing.

The drizzle of rain fell along the corner eaves like broken pearls.

After standing for a moment, Xu Yuan slowly walked up the steps, pulled the door knocker and knocked on the door three times. From time to time, the heavy sandalwood door slowly opened from the inside with a "creak".

A sturdy man came into view.

Bronze skin, angular face, and a long gown of a servant style.

The sturdy man saw the three strangers outside the door, and his eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, then he realized something and said:

"Sir, you are the distinguished guest that Madam mentioned, right? Madam has already told me, please follow me."

After saying that, he directly made way, motioned the three people to come in with his side hand, and turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Whispering "thank you", Xu Yuan followed behind him and glanced at the sturdy man roughly.

He has no cultivation, and there are calluses on his hands, but it should be caused by labor.

He seems to be a farmer.

But what makes people feel strange is that the chest and the circle of words on the back of the sturdy man's servant gown are still empty like the plaque outside the courtyard.

Doesn't this reclusive person want to reveal his surname?

Since he had just arrived, Xu Yuan did not ask the question in his heart.

The mansion is the kind of four-courtyard marked by a wealthy family.

After walking through two courtyards and a dozen steps along a waterside corridor, Xu Yuan saw the main hall of the mansion, and a gentle female voice came from the main hall:

"I am not feeling well, so I am sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you don't mind."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The light was very dim on a rainy day, and only a little light from the open door could see a woman standing in the main hall.

She was a woman with a good figure, with charming curves, but she was only wearing a linen dress, but her face was shrouded in the darkness of the house and could not be seen clearly, but just by looking at her posture and voice, one could roughly guess that the woman's appearance should be extraordinary.

And it was this scene that made Xu Yuan's footsteps subconsciously stop for a moment.

He was no longer the strong man in the sewer of the prime minister's mansion. He could see things without any light after integrating his cultivation, but at this moment he could not see the woman's appearance.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Yuan did not use his spiritual vision to explore.

Since the other party is like this, I think he doesn't want to reveal his true face.

But he is so cautious, is it because his identity is problematic and he is afraid of leaking the news and being hunted?

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan continued walking and laughed heartily:

"Madam, you don't mind me bothering you, it's our good fortune."

While walking, Xu Yuan sent a voice message to the two female souls beside him:

"This woman's identity should be a bit problematic, be careful when you speak, don't offend her."

"."

After hearing this, Bai Muxi and Ran Qingmo glanced at Xu Yuan with a little confusion, but still kept this in mind silently.

Accompanied by the drizzle outside the corridor, Xu Yuan and the other two quickly 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 to sit down, and gently waved her hand to light the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the main hall. For a moment, the warm yellow firelight instantly dispelled the darkness in the room.

However, Xu Yuan still couldn't see the woman's appearance.

However, he noticed that her belly, which was covered by linen clothes, was slightly bulging, as if she was pregnant.

After the woman invited the three people to sit down, she went to the toilet in the main hall and took some tea and placed it on the square table. She said softly:

"It's a coarse country tea, but it has a unique flavor. You can try it, sir."

The woman seemed to see that although Xu Yuan had the lowest cultivation level, he was obviously the leader among the three.

The host and the guest sat down, and the courtyard was very quiet. With the cool drizzle outside the courtyard, it was like entering a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Please, Madam, pour the tea yourself."

After a polite reply, Xu Yuan took a sip of the tea, his eyes slightly widened:

"Bitter and sweet, is this spike tea? No, it should be a kind of fine buckwheat."

The woman with a face shrouded in darkness chuckled softly:

"Sir, are you a good tea master?"

"If you drink a lot, you can always recognize some."

Xu Yuan shook his head, sat upright on the chair, and asked softly:

"Is this fine buckwheat tea grown in the dry fields outside?"

"Only this kind of crop can be grown in the gorge."

"In that case, Madam is really kind-hearted."

"What?" The faceless woman did not understand what she meant.

"Fine tea is grown in the dry fields, and there are no merchants passing by here. The rice consumed by farmers outside the village can only be purchased by you, Madam, yourself."

"."

The faceless woman was silent for a while, shook her head gently, and said softly:

"Not all of them."

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person's dark face.

"."The faceless woman did not answer this question.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan skipped the topic and said with a smile:

"No matter what, it was you who saved them, Madam."

"The refugees were stranded here, and I just couldn't stand by and watch them die. Over time, it became like this."

The faceless woman's voice was quiet and seemed to be laughing: "Besides, a person will be lonely after being alone for a long time."

After that, the faceless woman glanced at the three people and whispered:

"I haven't asked what your name is, sir?"

Xu Yuan paused for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Zhou Junqing, these two are Ying'er and Chang Xi."

The faceless woman smiled and said half-jokingly:

"You two beauties are really stunning."

"."

After hearing this, Xu Yuan had not yet reacted, and Bai Muxi and Ran Qingmo both had a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

They both wore veils, but the other party could see their true faces without disturbing them.

The faceless woman seemed to have noticed this, and hurriedly apologized:

"Sorry, I didn't mean it. The way I practice is a bit special, and things that cover my face are basically useless to me."

"." Xu Yuan.

Is this woman deliberately pointing at him?

No, it's impossible.

Even the sword masters in his family don't have this method. They can see through any pregnant woman who lives in seclusion. Then Xu Yuan might as well believe that he choked to death while drinking water.

Xu Yuan broke the silence and patted the two women beside him:

"Madam, don't mind. If it's convenient, can you tell me what your name is?"

The faceless woman was silent for a while, and said softly:

"Sir, you can call me Wan."

"Wan?"

"Yes, a single word Wan."

"."

Strange name.

But Xu Yuan was not surprised.

After all, there was a sickly old woman named Qing in his own black prison.

After the introductions, the oil fire on the wall in the hall jumped gently, and there was no sound for a while.

Xu Yuan was hesitating, wondering whether to ask for clues.

Although he firmly believed in the fortune of Da Bingtuozi, there were always two sides. For Ran Qingmo, this might be a blessing, but for him, it would become a disaster.

For Xu Yuan, the young woman named Wan in front of him exuded a mysterious flavor.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Otherwise, should they just slip away?

After a moment of silence, the decision was made, but Wan spoke first, her voice was very light:

"Sir, you came here to find something, right?"

Xu Yuan was choked on the words he was about to say, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Madam Wan, how did you know?"

Wan turned her head and seemed to glance at the rain curtain outside:

"I often see Miss Ying'er rushing outside these days. If you want to ask anything, I can answer it at my discretion."

"."

"."

After a conversation, at the invitation of Madam Wan, Xu Yuan finally decided to bother her for a while and stay here temporarily.

Because Madam Wan said,

The place where Xiao Longnu used to appear was nearby, and if she found her, she would tell him.

According to the plot in "Cangyuan", if there is no player intervention, the other party can also find the remains of his brother in the Dragon Burial Valley.

This time point is random in "Cangyuan".

Based on the current information, Xiao Longnu should have mastered some information now.

Stay here and try to use the blessing of the big ice tuber to try your luck and intercept it.

The days passed one by one,

Treasure Hunter Ji went out early and came back late every day. She would go out to hunt for treasures with the ink sword before dawn and return to the house to practice at night.

Compared with Ran Qingmo's hard work, Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi's life seemed extremely idle.

Xiao Bai stayed in the house to practice and sneak away every day.

Xu Yuan strolled around the manor, basking in the sun, drinking tea and reading books.

Madam Wan's face was still shrouded in darkness.

This kind of leisurely life outside the world made Xu Yuan a little reluctant to care about the big pile of troubles inside and outside Dayan.

I heard from Madam Wan that there was another guest living in the mansion, but Xu Yuan had never seen him.

In addition, there was a large library in the mansion, which contained many strange and bizarre books, describing the customs and rumors of the desert, which was quite interesting.

For example,

It is said that there is a worm saint in the desert, who was revered and worshipped by many local tribes.

For example,

This worm 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 strange things is well written, with details.

It is a new day again.

As Ran Qingmo went out, Xu Yuan also opened the door, wanting to go to the study to start a leisurely and comfortable day.

But his body froze subconsciously the moment he went out.

He saw a woman in this guest house.

She had a peach face and a natural charm. The loose plain clothes could not cover the softness and fullness of her chest.
