Chapter 53: The Man in the Red Robe
There were a lot of insects in the woods, and Lin Muye's chase along the way startled a wave of insects, some of them fled in the wilderness, and some of them scattered.
The speed of the spotted leopard is very fast, and the movements of the feline are very fast, so Lin Muye can only barely follow behind it even if he uses his spatial power a few times.
Soon came to the end of the forest, which was the village land, the spotted leopard paused for a moment, turned back to Lin Muye, opened his mouth with four sharp teeth, and let out a low wail.
Its limbs kept retreating, and the flesh pads on the soles of its feet made a clattering sound against fallen leaves and severed limbs.
Suddenly, the spotted leopard quickly turned around and headed straight for the village, leaping over a dirt ditch and landing steadily on the ground.
Lin Muye chased after him, took out a red robe from the Qiankun bag, put his hat on his head, lowered his head, and hid his face in the darkness, so that the people in the village would not recognize his appearance. If the village chief saw that he was investigating this matter, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.
Xuanshan and the villagers are guarding the entrance of the village, he is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a violent wind to blow from this side, and then he can confidently say to the villagers that the ghost has come, he can use the weapon in his hand to pretend to stab a few times in the air, or wave a few times, and finally pat his chest and say that the female ghost has been driven away, so that the people in the village are enough to convince him, and the next election of the village head can be won by him Xuanshan logically.
This haunted thing was a ladder that he could be promoted, and thinking of this, Xuan Shan couldn't help but grin.
A gust of wind blew everyone's clothes into chaos, as if there was really a ghost, Xuanshan was overjoyed, he quickly waved the peach stick in his hand, really waved it back and forth in the air, and played a set of self-created stick methods, more and more energetic, more and more out of control, he was immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.
"Quick...... Hurry up ......"
Everyone stammered in surprise and pointed to the spotted leopard standing tall at the entrance of the village, with purple eyes shining with purple light, and their fingers trembled.
Xuanshan turned his back to the spotted leopard, facing the villagers, thinking that the villagers asked him to speed up and play with the stick, so he nodded excitedly and played again, the more he played, he thought to himself, I didn't expect the self-created stick method to be so popular, it seems that I have the talent to practice martial arts!
"Quick...... Run, son!" the village chief shouted loudly, his face solemn and anxious.
Xuan Shan came to his senses, stopped, turned his head, his head broke out in a cold sweat, he and the spotted leopard head at the head, staring at the small eye, a steaming air flow drilled into his nose, full of the smell of blood.
"Damn! I'm going to die!ah~~~" He threw down the stick and ran away, the spotted leopard's eyes flashed and instantly pounced, knocking him down alive, and the two claws pressed him to the ground.
Xuanshan ate soil in his mouth, and fainted when he felt that it was dark in front of him.
The villagers kept retreating, the village chief pulled out a shovel out of nowhere and pointed at the spotted leopard, and the others also looked for some weapons.
"Folks, I am such a son, please save him!" the village chief wailed, holding his shovel and squeezing the handle of the shovel as he approached the spotted leopard.
"Village chief, we have a lot of strength, and we all have guys in our hands, so I don't believe we can't deal with a leopard. A dark-skinned, twenty-something young man said with his head held high.
Old Man Wu blocked Wu Xiuxiu behind him and asked her to stay away, but Wu Xiuxiu didn't follow Old Man Wu and had to pull the corner of his clothes behind him.
The long hair on the corners of the spotted leopard's face trembled slightly, and it grinned, very angry, and kept making a dull sound in its mouth, and its claws stepped on Xuanshan's back harder, tearing off a piece of flesh from his back.
"Folks, go on!" the village chief gave the order, carrying a shovel to meet him, and the other villagers followed when they saw this, most of the villagers were relatively timid, and the guy in his hand kept waving with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he hit the spotted leopard.
A few bold people kept approaching the spotted leopard with their weapons in their hands, and took the opportunity to hit it.
"Roar~" The spotted leopard angrily bit a wooden stick and pulled it hard, it was extremely powerful, and the sturdy villager instantly threw himself forward and slammed into the ground.
The spotted leopard tore off a piece of flesh from his body directly with his sharp teeth, and the villager was so painful that before he could scream, another piece of flesh was torn off, and he fainted in pain, bleeding all over the ground.
"Dead!" the crowd roared, and ran away, and the other villagers hurriedly retreated when they saw this.
The village chief is still testing the leopard's temper with a shovel, his beloved son refuses to leave, and his son is at the feet of the leopard, and he wants to rescue his son.
Old Man Wu was a real person and did not retreat with the other villagers, standing in place with Wu Xiuxiu, and as soon as the others fled, the spotted leopard became even more unscrupulous.
"Brother Wu, you are righteous enough, if you can escape this catastrophe today, I will do whatever you ask me to do. The village chief was hunched over, sweat on the handle of the shovel in his hand, and the rag shoes on his feet kept retreating.
"Xiuxiu, let's go!" Old Man Wu broke Wu Xiuxiu's hand and pushed it back, and Wu Xiuxiu staggered backwards, his palm on the ground.
The beast will be the first to attack the fallen target, and the old man Wu pushed so that the spotted leopard found an opportunity to take advantage of it, jumped directly from the ground, and jumped over the head of the old man Wu.
Old Man Wu was shocked, and some of his rickety legs ran backwards before he could react, and his rough arms grabbed at the spotted leopard.
How could the old man Wu, who was an ordinary person, catch the speed of the spotted leopard, and could only watch the animal pounce on Wu Xiuxiu's body.
Its sharp claws tore Xiuxiu's clothes apart, sniffing the scent of flesh on her body, exposing her snow-white skin.
The spotted leopard turned his head to look at Old Man Wu, as if mocking his weakness, and his sharp teeth bit directly at the white skin.
"Xiuxiu!" Old Man Wu's eyes widened, seeing that the spotted leopard's teeth were about to be embedded in Xiuxiu's flesh, and then his flesh would be torn off.
Everyone was blindfolded.
A gust of wind blew like a flag from a distance, and everyone opened their eyes, only to see a black robe covering Wu Xiuxiu's exposed skin, and the spotted leopard was also startled, and the teeth that were about to be embedded in the flesh were retracted.
The person who came was Lin Muye, who was wearing a red robe and kicked the spotted leopard out of Wu Xiuxiu's body with one kick.
Then he took the opportunity to take out the magic knife from the Qiankun bag and slashed it, only to hear a lightning bolt in the sky, and then there was a roaring sound.
The magic knife slammed into a boulder, which instantly shattered into powder and was blown away by the wind.
The spotted leopard reacted quickly, and quickly stepped forward the moment the magic knife slashed, and directly dodged.
For this extremely fast beast, Lin Muye didn't say a word, and directly sealed.
"Qiankun Seal!" A burst of purple-golden light erupted from the sky, and a huge gossip array smashed towards the spotted leopard.
"Boom!" was dusty and rubble.
Looking at it again, the spotted leopard disappeared, and Lin Muye activated the writing wheel eye and found that it had fled into the woods.
"Whew~Damn!It's so fast!" Lin Muye sighed unwillingly.
"Hero~Hero~Hero~" The villagers were stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Muye's performance just now, and burst into warm applause.
Wu Xiuxiu and Xuanshan were carried down by the villagers, and Old Man Wu and the village chief stepped forward respectfully.
"Benefactor~ If it weren't for you, my second child would have been drinking with my father under Jiuquan. The village chief bowed his hand and smiled.
Lin Muye didn't eat him, and he felt disgusted when he looked at him on the surface and behind his back.
"Little old man is grateful. Old Man Wu wiped his tears, if it weren't for Lin Muye's timely action, his daughter Wu Xiuxiu would have been torn to pieces by the spotted leopard.
Lin Muye glanced at the village chief, turned his head to look at Old Man Wu, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's a matter of effort." ”
"Where does the benefactor come from and where are you going?" stay here to eat......" The village chief clenched his hands tightly with a very insincere smile on his face like a licking dog.
Lin Muye ignored it and waved his hand: "Let's go!" He turned on the spatial power, returned directly to the old man Wu's house, and hurried to change into a new set of clothes, at this moment Wu Xiuxiu was being carried in, and the old woman accompanied Wu Xiuxiu, put her on the bed, and took out a hot towel and applied it to her forehead.
"What's wrong?" Lin Muye pretended to be sleepy-eyed, rubbing his eyes and walking out of the room inside.
"She was pounced on by a leopard, but fortunately someone saved her, and this girl was disobedient. ”
……
"Huh~ If it weren't for the help of the masters today, a few more people would have died in the village. Old Man Wu walked in from outside, glanced at Lin Muye, and touched his head with a puzzled expression.
"You...... Haven't you ever gone out?" Old Man Wu looked Lin Muye up and down, and felt more and more that he was very similar to the man in the red robe.
"Nope...... I slept a little when you went out at night. Lin Muye smiled, still not letting them know.
Old Man Wu still looked puzzled, shook his head and walked to Wu Xiuxiu's bedside, sighed, touched Wu Xiuxiu's forehead, it was a little hot, so he asked the old woman to get some water, and fiddled with the towel that was already a little cold and applied it to her forehead again.
"By the way, uncle, isn't the village chief's son a soul crosser?, how could you catch ghosts and encounter wild leopards?" Lin Muye said.
"Don't mention it, the son of the village chief won't say if it's really a soul crosser, with his timid appearance, let alone encountering a ghost, he was scared to pee when he met a leopard. Old Man Wu glanced up at Lin Muye, "The Soul Master is the legendary ghost hunter, the same as Zhong Kui. Old Man Wu took out a cigarette stick from the red cabinet and lit it and took a puff.
"I also admire the Soul Crossing Master, I heard that there seems to be some secret in the Qiushui River, it is about the Soul Crossing Master, right?" Lin Muye mainly wanted to ask about the origin of the Qiushui River, since the old man Wu lived here, he should know some legends about the Qiushui River.
Old Man Wu glared at Lin Muye and spit out a puff of white smoke: "Little brother, you are not from here, how do you know about Qiushui River?!" Old Man Wu suddenly got up, took out a whip from behind the door and pointed it at Lin Muye.
