Below dusk.

The bright moon hung high above the sky.

Illuminating the entire Retreat Village.

Zhong Xiaoling's house.

Lin Tang sat quietly on the wooden plank by the sea......

Because of its proximity to the sea, Zhong Xiaoling built a flat land similar to a guardrail.

And here, it has also become a place where Lin Tang likes to stay.

Because the sea breeze can make him more sober, and it can also make him more aware of how lonely his road will be.

So much so, even more determined!

Pacing ......

There was a sound of footsteps.

Then it fell silent again.

Lin Tang didn't look back, because he knew who was coming......

"If you want to ask, then why bother? Don't you have the answer in your heart?"

Hearing Lin Tang's words, Zhong Ning took a deep breath and walked up, and there was a Zhong Xiaoling beside him.

"So, you are really Lin Tang...... That one Don butcher?"

Zhong Xiaoling couldn't believe it.

But......

At this moment, she was also looking at Lin Tang.

As for the Don butcher, she couldn't be clearer.

But such a person, is this the Tang butcher?

That's an extremely cruel demon who doesn't do anything evil, but this person in front of him ......

When he heard the village chief say that he might be that person, Zhong Xiaoling didn't accept it in his heart, how could this be!

Therefore, after disposing of the corpses of the group of people from country R, when the village chief was going to look for Lin Tang, Zhong Xiaoling took him over without hesitation.

Because she also wants to confirm whether this person is the Tang butcher who kills people without blinking an eye and is bloodthirsty like a demon!

However, it didn't take long for her to know the answer.

"You're scared?"

He still didn't turn his head, but the faint voice was telling them: I, I'm Lin Tang, the Tang butcher in your mouth!

Zhong Ning's old face had a wry smile.

Even Zhong Xiaoling had a hint of fear on his face.

Sure enough, it was the Don butcher.

"But I'm a little scared, after all, Sir's reputation is not very good, a butcher, standing in front of us, how can we not be afraid? It's just that you saved more than 200 people in our entire village, we still have to say thank you to Sir!"

Lin Tang didn't say anything.

Afraid......

Human!

Not everyone can afford not to pay attention to what they do and not care about their reputation.

They are pedantic, even in this small village of seclusion.

They also care about the eyes of others, and they are afraid of being told that they are demons.

So, what if you just saved them?

Sometimes, gratitude can even be replaced by fear, which is why Lin Tang is reluctant to have too much contact with Zhong Xiaoling and this hermitage village.

Your own path......

Not too many people will understand......

Of course......

Lin Tang didn't care if they could understand it!

Saving the hidden village, it's just because he owes a little favor, and in the same way, it also looks at the unhappiness of the one called Kazuo Yamamoto, that's all!

Seeing that Lin Tang didn't speak, Zhong Ning also fell silent.

For a long time, he looked at Zhong Xiaoling and motioned for her to leave......

Zhong Xiaoling hesitated slightly, looked at Lin Tang's back, and finally left......

She was just a little girl, although Lin Tang saved her, but when she knew his identity, she finally became afraid, and there was always a feeling of sitting on pins and needles.

Although he didn't turn his head, the change in Zhong Xiaoling's face, how could he escape Lin Tang's eyes.

I smiled in my heart, but I didn't take it to heart.

She fished herself out of the sea, and she saved her life, and she didn't owe each other, as for anything else, did it matter?

Zhong Ning is still standing in place,

Looking at the back of Zhong Xiaoling leaving, he slowly took out a scroll from his body.

Lin Tang finally turned his head, looked at Zhong Ning, and then looked at the scroll in his hand: "So, this is what Kazuo Yamamoto wants?"

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Mr.!"

Zhong Ning smiled bitterly: "Since Mr. is called Tang Butcher, and he is a god realm powerhouse, this thing, the old man wants to give it to Mr....... Because, we no longer have the ability to protect this thing, let him fall into the hands of Mr., it is safer than falling into the hands of the people of country R, at least, we are not living up to the entrustment of our ancestors!"

Lin Tang didn't speak.

Just looked at the scroll in his hand, and then looked at Zhong Ning: "In order to repay the deity for saving your villagers, and in order to avoid the upcoming pursuit, you want to give the deity what you have guarded in your village for hundreds of years?

Lin Tang is not a fool......

Once this thing is in his hands, the person behind Kazuo Yamamoto will definitely be eyeing him.

There is no doubt about it, after all, how can they give up so easily if they can lurk for more than ten years for the sake of something?

Of course, Lin Tang was not afraid.

At this moment, he has reached the fourfold life spring, even if he is a strong person with a consummation of the divine realm, he is not afraid, which is equivalent to standing at the peak of this world.

But......

Because of saving people, but still getting into some trouble, Lin Tang is not the kind of person who likes trouble.

Zhong Ning paused, obviously not expecting Lin Tang to say such a thing.

But soon, he smiled bitterly: "Sir, do you know the contents of this scroll...... This is not a simple scroll, it is actually the location of a secret realm, and it is also a map to the secret realm!"

A secret place?

Lin Tang's eyes narrowed slightly......

"Sir, let's take a look, if you think that this thing really can't interest you, then the old man, you won't be asking for anything!"

Lin Tang was silent, but finally reached out and took the scroll.

Immediately, when Zhong Ning's face opened it, Lin Tang's eyes immediately narrowed.

"So, is this the reason why the people of country R have to get this scroll?"

"Yes!"

Zhong Ning nodded: "This is also the direct reason why we have returned to the village and retreated for hundreds of years!"

Lin Tang slowly put the scroll away, and looked at Zhong Ning lightly: "Okay! The scroll deity has been collected, as for those factors that threaten the Hidden Village, the deity will be solved!!"

Hearing this, Zhong Ning breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you, sir!"

……

Zhong Ning left.

Lin Tang was still standing in place, his brows already wrinkled unconsciously.

on that scroll.

Just a few short sentences, as well as a detailed explanation of the secret realm formation!

Formation, Lin Tang could see at a glance what kind of formation this was, for himself, it didn't matter at all!

But what really piqued his interest was the contents of the scroll.

Because, the master of this secret realm is not simple!
