Chapter 249 Always looking at you
No matter what, the people outside the door have been solved.
The food and water they found yesterday were still available. Huo Yunjing and Gu Ziqian didn't plan to go out. Dongfang Lingjun simply took everyone together to consolidate the space-time formation.
Gu Qingyin reluctantly participated, but out of the corner of her eye she glanced at Huo Xingchen and the paper man who were drawing. They looked very interesting, and she wanted to draw together.
Also absent-minded was Zhang Qiuyan. She promised her children yesterday that she would mend their clothes again today, but it was already past the agreed time.
Dongfang Lingjun is a fan of formations. He is very addicted when talking about formations, and he also does not allow others to slip away.
He won't notice if you wander off while he's talking. The key is that he also likes to ask questions. If you can't answer them, he'll be very unhappy.
No, after speaking for a while, Dongfang Lingjun habitually asked, "Dayan, tell me."
Zhang Qiuyan came to her senses slowly and her face turned red. She didn't even listen to what the master was saying.
Dongfang Lingjun frowned and said in a very serious tone, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Qingyin was startled and quickly sat up straight.
Zhang Qiuyan did not dare to lie, and told the agreement with the children yesterday with a look of shame.
Dongfang Lingjun was speechless, what else could he say? There is no way to say it!
Gu Qingyin rolled her eyes, coughed slightly and said, "How about Qiu Yan and I go out and talk to the children, don't keep them waiting."
As soon as she finished speaking, several people looked over. Just when she thought her little idea of skipping class had been seen through, Dongfang Lingjun suddenly waved his hand, "Go, go, pay attention to safety, and come back early."< br>
Gu Qingyin's eyes lit up imperceptibly, and she pulled Zhang Qiuyan away, as fast as a bird out of its cage.
"You just came out like this?" Zhang Qiuyan couldn't believe it. Shouldn't her master train her for half an hour first? Why did you let him go so happily?
Gu Qingyin smiled and said, "Let's go, take me to see those children. Maybe the ghost king's true form is here too."
"Ah?" Zhang Qiuyan was shocked again, "Isn't this an illusion created by the Ghost King? Why is his body here?"
"This place is separated from his memory. What we see is what he saw when he was a child. But it may not be true. People's memories will improve themselves, and the completed parts all come from his imagination."< br>
Gu Qingyin pointed at the black dog blood and peach wood nails that were thrown aside by the paper man, "These may be what he imagined. They are not used to break the formation, but they can catch ghosts."
Zhang Qiuyan seemed to understand, "That witch god was also imagined?"
Gu Qingyin nodded, "There may be such a person, but his identity should not be the witch god. Their village obviously has its own gods." She pointed to Ailao Mountain behind, "It's on the mountain."
The reason why the Ghost King was abandoned was probably because his parents wanted to sacrifice. He was thrown to the mountain as a sacrifice, hoping that the mountain god would help the village survive the difficulties after receiving the sacrifice.
But obviously, there is no so-called god on the mountain, or the mountain god does not approve of this sacrifice. Therefore, everyone in the village should be dead in the end.
The two chatted and soon arrived at the big tree in the center of the village and saw the children squatting obediently under the roots of the tree.
The children's eyes lit up slightly after seeing Zhang Qiuyan, and they stood up and wanted to come over, but they were afraid of the unfamiliar faces around her and did not dare.
Gu Qingyin chuckled, "I have become a bad person." Zhang Qiuyan also found it a bit funny, but she could understand, "In this kind of living environment, it is a good thing to be more vigilant."
Gu Qingyin nodded, "Go ahead, explain to them and then go back."
Zhang Qiuyan walked over alone and was instantly surrounded by several children.
Gu Qingyin didn't listen to what they said. She looked up at the dark sky and wondered when she could go out. This game was getting more and more boring.
"Qingyin." Zhang Qiuyan came back not long after, and asked sheepishly: "Can you accompany me to that child's home? He said that his mother's clothes were too torn to go out, and he wanted me to go over and help mend them. ”
Gu Qingyin's eyes moved, and he suddenly discovered a very inconsistent place.
Women are rarely seen in this village, and even if they are, they are all skin and bones, as if they are about to starve to death, and there are even fewer girls. It seems that she has never seen them in the past two days.
"Qingyin?" Zhang Qiuyan said, "I know it's not good to run around at this time. I told him to bring some clothes, but he said that his mother had no other clothes and we couldn't let people be naked. I …”
"It doesn't matter." A cold smile appeared on Gu Qingyin's lips, "Let's go together, just to test my guess."
Zhang Qiuyan was naturally confused, but she was in a hurry to help, so she didn't ask any more questions and went back to explain a few words to the child, during which the child even glanced at Gu Qingyin twice.
Gu Qingyin tried her best to be kind and smiled gently.

The child finally agreed to take the two of them home.
Although the other children were a little disappointed when they saw this, they dispersed one after another and went to the fields and woods to see if they could find something to satisfy their hunger.
The child's name is Changsheng, a seven-year-old boy, but he is very small. He looks about four or five years old. He doesn't feel much older than Huo Xingchen. His left leg is still a little bent out, as if he was beaten. It was broken, but the bones rejoined before they were reattached.
Gu Qingyin secretly sighed, he was another unfortunate child from his native family.
"We're here."
After walking for about ten minutes, the children took them to an old house on the edge of the village. The outside had walls made of mud mixed with hay. Over time, the mud fell away, exposing the wood inside.
"Is this your home?" Gu Qingyin stood at the door of the courtyard without going in. She raised her hand and opened her yin and yang eyes. When she looked up, she couldn't help but say "heh": "Are you sure you live here every night? Then? Your life is quite tough.”
Zhang Qiuyan was about to go in, but when he heard this, he noticed something was wrong, so he cautiously retreated to Gu Qingyin and took out the compass.
The compass needle kept turning like crazy. I couldn't see anything specific, but I was sure there was definitely something wrong with this place.
"Changsheng?" Zhang Qiuyan looked at the children with disappointment on his face, "I really want to help you."
Changsheng's pale face became paler. He retreated into the yard and shook his head with a dull expression, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Gu Qingyin narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled, "Changsheng, does your mother look a lot like you? Especially her eyes, which are round and bright, like fresh black grapes."
Changsheng looked at her in surprise.
The smile on Gu Qingyin's lips deepened, and she whispered: "She is standing behind you, looking at you."
