Chapter 121: Encounter
When the sun rises in the east, thousands of acres of golden light swayed down, reflecting every grass and tree, every house and courtyard in Ansan Village, and even the wisps of morning mist in the early morning are full of golden energy. From the outside, you will definitely mistake this place for an elegant and comfortable paradise.
It's a pity that it's not! Not only that, but it will also be a cruel hell! Shen Feixue's hell!
Liu Yunfei, who was standing at the entrance of the village, thought so in his heart.
Glancing at the five colleagues next to him who had been disguised as ordinary merchants, he nodded in satisfaction and was about to walk towards the village. But he was held back by one person.
"Something doesn't feel right. The man said.
"Before I came, I was still proud (qíng), saying that I was not afraid of a sword cultivator, but now my mother-in-law and mother are worried, you are really contradictory!" Liu Yunfei said indifferently.
"Isn't it because of an ambush on the road?"
"Does the ambush outside Yunzhou City have anything to do with us ambushing Shen Feixue?" the other asked rhetorically towards the worried-looking man.
"In Yunzhou City, there are only those who are at odds with Li Qianhu, only Zhuge Litang's group. So I guess that Zhuge Litang is looking for someone to ambush!"
"You're quite right. Liu Yunfei nodded, "But it's time to work now, it's already a lot of time!"
After speaking, Liu Yunfei took the lead in stepping into the village.
He was in a hurry, naturally, he had a reason, if it weren't for the ambush outside Yunzhou City, which caused the horses to flee in panic, they should have arrived at noon yesterday (rì).
In his calculations, between yesterday (rì) unitary hour and 戌时, Shen Feixue would rush here.
But now, nearly ten hours have passed, could Shen Feixue have already resupplied here and set off?
So he was in a hurry, if this was the case, if he was asked to ambush Shen Feixue again, it was estimated that he would have to choose a new place.
Liu Yunfei thought in his heart, and the pace under his feet was naturally not slow.
"Something really doesn't seem right. Another person came to Liu Yunfei's (shēn) side.
"Huh?"
Liu Yunfei glanced around the village, and there was no one.
"According to the life habits (xìng) of Jiannan Prefecture, at this time, it is not that everyone has not yet gotten up (chuáng). ”
Liu Yunfei nodded, he also understands this truth, but the problem is that he can't understand it.
"Find a villager and ask if Shen Feixue has passed by here. ”
The six of them then dispersed and began to walk towards the nearest earthen courtyard.
Knock knock~
Liu Yunfei knocked on the wooden door, and after a few sounds, no one in the courtyard responded.
After glancing at the other five, the result was pretty much the same!
The six of them nodded, and then their hands were full of energy.
Those wooden doors, which were already a little dilapidated, could not stop the strength of these cultivators. There was no hindrance, and the wooden door broke.
Liu Yunfei drilled into the courtyard, everything in the courtyard was normal, but there was no one, which was very puzzling.
After checking to no avail, Liu Yunfei withdrew from the earth courtyard, and made eye contact with the rest of the people, and the result was the same.
"Keep looking. Liu Yunfei said a word and walked towards the next earthen courtyard.
There are not many courtyards in the village, and there are only about 30 households, and it will not take long for six people to search all the villages.
When the six of them were busy, in the ancestral hall at the back of the village, the villagers gathered here, all with sad faces, and no one wanted to say a word.
And Shen Feixue stood in the center, holding Xiao Ji in his hand.
"When does that guy usually come?" he asked An Yue, who was not far away.
An Yue looked at the ancestral hall, in addition to his sad face, he was more worried.
He sighed and said, "Count the hours, it's almost time." ”
Shen Feixue smiled and placed Xiao Ji on the desk in the center, and then the star-chasing sword shadow unfolded, and the vertical (shēn) jumped on the beam.
He doesn't mind the table (qíng) and attitude of the people below.
He also knew that if he were one of these villagers, he would probably have the same qíng (qíng).
These villagers are neither willing to sacrifice their children every year, nor willing to risk rebellion, which is why these qíng appeared.
Last night, it took him a long time to dig out the custom of sacrifice from the mouths of these villagers.
Since four years ago, every year in the summer of Xiaoxiao, the villagers will gather here to kneel down and worship the "mountain god" who came to take sacrifices, and Shen Feixue just wants to use Xiao Ji to restrain the so-called mountain god, and then ask them the reason for catching Xiao Ji.
Only in this way can he better prevent Xiao Ji from being snatched away.
The first time I got Xiao Ji, there was a scalper tiger demon who wanted to rob Xiao Ji, and now there is another tree demon, all of which are things from the demon world, which is obviously not a coincidence.
By now, he didn't have to guess the reason, just ask the dryad when the time came!
Of course, these things require the cooperation of Xiao Ji and the villagers.
Xiao Ji He doesn't have to worry, he has already communicated last night, and with Xiao Ji's sensible intelligence, there will be no problems.
It's those villagers who are worried and not good actors at first glance.
There was no way, Shen Feixue had to use the old method, his hand was twisted, and Tianluo raised it in his hand, "Cheer up!"
威 (bī), sometimes it is especially effective!
For example, now, the villagers are stunned and sit up straight, but they really have a bit of devotion to the "mountain gods" such as (rì).
As time passed, everyone's hearts (qíng) began to get tense.
It's not just the nervousness, but their hearts (qíng) are complicated right now.
I feel sorry for the children who have to be sacrificed to the mountain god every year, and I don't want to get sick (shēn) because there is no fairy liquid, so I am really entangled.
Suddenly, in front of the door of the ancestral hall, there was a sudden sound.
"Have you looked for it all?" said a man's voice.
"It's just here, there's no one. Another voice.
"That's weird!"
"Anyway, let's take a look at it first. ”
This was the end of the conversation, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching the ancestral hall.
These voices, Shen Feixue on the beam naturally heard them clearly. He didn't know who it was, but it was definitely not the mountain god that the villagers called him, and it was likely to interrupt his current plans.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Shen Feixue tried her best to think about how to deal with it, and at this moment, outside the ancestral hall, there was another burst of exclamation.
"Who?"
"Stand there and don't move. ”
......
Shen Feixue couldn't hear what he said next, but he was sure that there was already a fight outside.
At the moment, I turned up and down from the beam, and sure enough, through the crack in the door of the ancestral hall, the scene outside was unobstructed.
A one-zhang tall, shēn (shēn) with bark and barely recognizable as a humanoid creature, evading the attack of a man.
Isn't this what the so-called mountain god is?
Shen Feixue smiled, it seems that he overestimated this mountain god, with such an appearance, it can't even be considered a transformation at all, and it is a once-a-year opportunity to transform like this, which shows that its cultivation is very low.
He didn't rush out, but spent his time watching the battle outside.
Outside, Liu Yunfei and the others' attention was on the Dryad (shēn), "Where did this pop up?"
"I don't know, it suddenly appeared, and it scared me a lot. ”
"Look at you like that, you're also a cultivator of the Perception Realm, as for that?"
"Hurry up and solve it, it's important to find Shen Feixue. Liu Yunfei stopped the two from arguing.
He didn't know if the appearance of this monster had anything to do with the disappearance of the villagers in the village.
If the villagers are gone, it will be definitely bad news for them.
You must know that if there are no villagers, they don't know if Shen Feixue has passed by here, which means that they don't know whether to wait here or continue to chase forward.
I chose this place to be an ambush because of the special nature of this village.
Starting from Qingzhou City to Yunzhou City, this village is a must-pass, but after this village, it is different.
There are two roads that can lead to Yunzhou, one is close but dangerous, and the other is far away but an official road, which is relatively safe.
A group of them, when they came, was the shortcut they took, there was no way, they delayed time outside Yunzhou City, if they didn't take a shortcut, they arrived here, and the time would be even later.
Therefore, they were not sure if Shen Feixue had passed by here at this time and embarked on that official road.
Only by looking for the villagers here can you get the most accurate answer.
Liu Yunfei thought about this, and also joined the battle group and attacked the tree demon.
The six of them shot out in unison, and the dryad was a little overwhelmed, taking advantage of a gap, he retreated backwards and stood two feet away.
However, the tacit understanding of the six people is extremely high, and when they saw that the dryad had the intention of retreating, two people had already bypassed, and at this time, the six people and six directions blocked all the way to the dryad.
"You were found by the villagers?" the dryad began, his voice hoarse and his words not soft.
However, it was still barely recognizable, Liu Yunfei did not respond, and asked rhetorically: "What about the villagers in the village?"
Judging from its appearance, the monster in front of him was already in the early stage of transformation, but for some reason, Liu Yunfei felt that it was particularly weak, and even a Perception Realm cultivator could fight with it.
With such an insight, he was more confident, so he did not respond.
With the six of them joining forces, it is not a problem to take down this monster, and the most important thing is to find out the whereabouts of the villagers first.
"I haven't done anything unreasonable, I didn't think you would interfere, since that's the case, then don't blame me!" said the dryad, still vine's hands stretched out, and soon touched the ground.
From the moment its vines touch the ground, they have taken root and burrowed into the ground.
Suddenly, the black aura visible to the eye rose from the ground, followed its vines, and invaded its bark-covered body.
"Do it!"
The six of them attacked the dryad again.
Although they didn't know what effect the dryad would have if he stood still and absorbed the black qi, it was a great opportunity for them at this time.
At this moment, a strong wind rushed in front of them (shēn).
The six people were shocked: there is a helper!
It makes sense to think so. If they keep going, the wind will definitely attack their (shēn) bodies and hurt them.
So, if they don't want to get hurt, they have to step back!
Without any hesitation, they chose the latter.
While avoiding it, he has already begun to check the direction of these strong winds.
Looking at it this way, the six of them were a little dumbfounded.
"Shen Feixue ???"
