27 Arrive at Mingyue Village
Located at the foot of the small village at the foot of the mountain, by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, although it is a small village, but the villagers in the village rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft, although the sunrise and the sunset return of hard work, but the days are still calm, do not worry about eating and drinking, the life of the villagers is still happy, but all this changed a year ago.
Lin Xi also didn't expect that this Mingyue Village would be so close to the city they stayed in yesterday, but it was half a day away.
Before entering the village, what you see is a quiet mountain village, curling smoke, mulberry field fishing pond, Qianmo traffic, orderly, if there are no demons, this must be a very peaceful village, just like the former Muling Village.
The two walked into the village, but the villagers who were originally busy at the door of their homes saw that outsiders had entered the village, so they picked up their things and ran to the house, and closed the doors and windows heavily, Lin Xi noticed that the faces of these people were full of horror, and it seemed that the demon had troubled the villagers. Lin Xi originally wanted to find a villager to ask where the village chief was, but no one dared to answer Lin Xi's question, these people all returned to the house silently, they didn't even dare to look at Lin Xi, they all bowed their heads and behaved.
Lin Xi had no choice, so he took out the jade slip, entered the spiritual power, and projected the content of the task, and every word was the handwriting of the village chief.
"Everyone, I am Lin Xi, a disciple of the Haoyang Sect, and I was invited by the village chief to come here to eliminate demons, dare to ask where the village chief is?" Lin Xi politely clenched his fists and asked.
However, almost a pillar of incense had passed, and still no one came forward to receive them.
Cang Lan snorted coldly, and slammed open a brick house with one palm: "Haven't you come out yet?"
Although the brick house was blown down, fortunately there were no people inside, and in this family of four, a white-haired old man walked out.
"Immortal Chief, don't be angry, it's the villain who has eyes and doesn't recognize Taishan and doesn't recognize Immortal Chief, please forgive Immortal Chief." "It turns out that this person is the village chief.
The village chief's name is Li Da, and he also heard that he could ask for help from the Xiuxian sect at the suggestion of Linzhen, so he sent a request to the Haoyang faction, Mingyue Village is quite rich because of its geographical advantages, and the villagers got together to get rid of the money for the demon, but three or five liars came before, and the demon was not removed, and they were cheated of a lot of money, one of them was still a gangster, and he injured their villagers, which made them doubt Lin Xi's identity.
After listening to the village chief's description, although Cang Lan was still dissatisfied with the village chief's attitude, Lin Xi expressed his understanding, although this world is full of immortal cultivators, there is only one cultivator in a hundred people, and only after passing the foundation building can he be regarded as a real monk, many ordinary people may not have the opportunity to contact the real monk in their lifetime, and more are swaggering people. Mortals are foolish, they will be deceived by the illusion in front of them, and those who are false will see too much, and those who see the truth will also be considered false.
So even if Lin Xi took out the jade slip and the disciple token, they might think it was fake, but the hand that Cang Lan showed made them believe it and at the same time, they also showed awe in their hearts.
Mingyue Village is just a small village and does not have an inn, the village chief has prepared a fairly clean house for them, and also told them what has happened in the past year.
As Lin Xi and they saw, Mingyue Village is a very quiet and ordinary small village, and the villagers are all simple and kind, but everything has changed on the full moon night a year ago, this ordinary small village is naturally not like the city that is lit even at night, so naturally every family closes their doors and windows early, but it was the height of summer, and there were always one or two families sitting in the courtyard of their homes to enjoy the coolness, which was exactly the case with the village chief's family, and the village chief's family was discussing to marry their daughter to Wang Xiucai in the village. The village chief's daughter, Xiugu, was lying on the village chief's lap with a shy face, and it seemed that she was quite satisfied with the marriage.
However, at this moment, a huge shadow in the sky flashed, and the village thought that it was his old eyes and rubbed his eyes, and then looked at it, and there was nothing, at that time the village chief thought that he was wrong, but when he turned back to talk to his son vigorously, his daughter suddenly pointed to the sky with a frightened face, saying that it was a tengu eating the moon.
The moment the two turned their heads, they saw that there was really a figure similar to a dog covering the moon, but it was not a lunar eclipse, but just flew in front of the moon, and left quickly, everyone just thought that some monster passed by, but the next day, the Wang family came with bad news, and their daughter was gone. At first, everyone just thought that the girl had left and run away, after all, the relationship between this girl and her family had not been very good, but after looking for a whole day, she didn't see anyone.
Only then did the village chief remember the monster he saw last night, and then he realized that the girl had been eaten by the monster.
But that's just the beginning.
Since then, every full moon night, the village has lost a girl, all cardamom girls, the youngest is no more than twelve, the oldest is only twenty, and now a full fourteen girls have been lost, which makes the villagers panic. It's not that the villagers didn't run away, but Mingyue Village was left by their ancestors, everyone's roots are here, and a few people can give up when they leave home.
"Then have any of you seen the appearance of this monster?" asked Lin Xi after listening to the village chief's description.
If you can know the true body of the monster, it may be able to deal with a lot, like this kind of monster who specializes in picking time to commit crimes, it is generally not too strong, powerful monsters, one shot can destroy a city, and will not leave a living mouth, of course, prosperous cities generally have immortal cultivation families in charge, and some families also have elders in the Jindan period, and the little demon does not dare to enter the city, so it will not be a big demon who will commit murder in this kind of small village, and this kind of task will be handed over to Lin Xi in the hands of the foundation building period.
"Yes. The village chief didn't think about it, and blurted out without thinking.
"It was the most terrible creature I had ever seen, its blood-red eyes, it made my heart hairy, its teeth glowed with cold, the good fellow was bigger than my millstone, and it stood up whole and was taller than my house. The village chief painted a vivid picture of what he saw.
"What else?" Lin Xi kept smiling: "What kind of monster is it?" ”
"Ah, it's scary, I don't see it. The village chief said honestly.
Lin Xi swallowed the words that wanted to scold the street, saying that he was not angry, not angry with this kind of NPC, if he said everything, next, what else did she and the male protagonist rely on to solve the puzzle?
"Brother Cang, what do you think?" Lin Xi turned his head and asked Canglan beside him.
Canglan hugged him, with a look of disdain: "It's just a man-eating demon beast, wait for the night of the full moon next year, as long as it dares to come, I will get rid of it." ”
Wow~ is worthy of being the male protagonist, so domineering. But Lin Xi's experience tells her that this matter has a relationship with the male protagonist, and it will not be simple. A very simple case of a monster attacking a person may turn out something extraordinary.
Lin Xi sent the village chief away, and repeatedly promised the village chief that he would definitely solve the incident of the demon beast rebellion, after all, there was a male protagonist on her side, and she would definitely solve this matter, although it might be more tortuous. But as long as the male protagonist is there, there is absolutely nothing that can't be solved.
It's Lin Xi who feels that he will suffer some crimes.
The dinner was sent by the villagers, there was nothing delicious, it was just some ordinary peasant dishes, but there were meat and vegetarian dishes, it can be seen that the villagers had already taken the best things in the village to entertain the two, but these things were undoubtedly pig food in front of Canglan, and he would rather eat a grain of Bigu Dan than eat these.
The script suggested that Lin Xi should brush up on his favorability, so Lin Xi reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked the village chief for some flour and eggs.
Cang Lan was practicing in the room, but suddenly smelled a tempting aroma of chicken soup, obviously he had already used Bigu Dan, but his stomach was already hungry.
"Brother Cang. I saw Lin Xi coming in with a bowl of egg noodles.
The snow-white noodles are soaked in a rich chicken broth, covered with a poached egg fried until golden brown on both sides, and sprinkled with green green onions.
"Brother Cang, I made a bowl of noodles, I don't know why you don't have your appetite. Lin Xi put the bowl on the table and lifted his head under his ear in embarrassment.
Under the candle flame, the slender woman with three points of shyness, three points of tenderness, three points of virtue, slender and white ten fingers with the water droplets when she had just cooked, wet, this pair of hands holding a sword, but at this moment it is stained with spring water, Canglan is excited, I used to take it for granted when I didn't feel it, but at this moment I found out that Lin Xi has always thought that she is so understanding, and she will prepare everything for him, there has never been a woman as tender as her, not fighting or grabbing, just staying by his side, silently paying.
Canglan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, they were just ordinary ingredients, but they made the ultimate deliciousness.
It was so delicious that Canglan's eyes were red.
No one has ever been so kind to him as Lin Xi.
