Chapter 104: Blend In
"Oh, I see, it's because we misunderstood the immortal, and please atone for our sins. ”
With that, the village chief left his seat and tried to kneel.
As a good young man in the new century, how could Shen Er let an old man who was dying of old age kneel down in front of him, so he hugged the village chief and said, "Village chief, it's okay, you don't have to make such a big gift." ”
Now Shen Er is at the village chief's house.
After some explanation, the village chief and the strong men knew that they had recognized the wrong person.
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Shen Er helped the village chief back to his chair.
The village chief looked flattered, and waved his hand again and again and said "no".
Then, Shen Er returned to his seat and asked, "Village Chief, who did you mistake us for just now?"
Hearing Shen Er ask about this, the originally calm village chief became excited again, and his wrinkled hand vigorously held Shen Er's right hand: "Immortal Chief, please save our village!"
Because he didn't see the demon make a move, the village chief just said this to Shen Er.
"Village chief, don't get excited, tell me what's going on. ”
Under Shen Er's appeasement, the village chief finally regained his calm again and told Shen Er what had happened recently.
It turned out that their village was located in the territory of Nanli Country.
As you can tell from the name, Nanli Country is located at the southern tip of the continent and is a country about the size of the White Cloud Kingdom.
This also directly cut off Shen Er's original idea of not waiting for the demon to learn the door of life and death, and directly taking the transportation back.
The Baiyun Kingdom is just a little below the northernmost northern demon clan in the mainland, and it is not known how far away it is from the south and the country, even if there is that kind of black technology carriage, Shen Er estimates that it will take two or three months to go back there.
To get back to the point, although this village was originally located in this big mountain, it relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and the mountains were rich in resources, and the people of a village could live comfortably.
This village can be regarded as a paradise.
However, just two months ago, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, claiming to be cult worshippers, and asked them to prepare 10 people for themselves every day.
Of course, the villagers would not agree to such a ridiculous request, but they didn't expect that all of these disciples knew how to use demon methods, and they couldn't defeat these disciples at all.
They also said that if they didn't, they would kill them all!
Therefore, the villagers had no choice but to succumb to the obscenity of these cultists and prepare people for them every day.
Two months later, a large village with a population of nearly 1,000 now has less than 300 people left.
As for those who were taken away by those cultists, I don't know whether they were dead or alive, but none of them returned.
After listening to the village chief's story, Shen Er rubbed his chin and thought: "Worshipping a cult is not a serious religion when you hear it. ”
In the past, when he was in the White Crane Sect, he not only suppressed bandits, but sometimes took over the task of eliminating cults.
Most of these cults are like this, taking people away without telling others where they went.
In this way, it can cause panic and anxiety among the remaining people, and this panic and anxiety is exactly what they want.
Most of the so-called evil gods that these cults believe in are actually just a special kind of demon beasts, and one thing these types of demon beasts have in common is that they can all gain strength from people's negative emotions.
So they instinctively use the temptation of giving power to lure greedy people to help them arouse these negative emotions in others.
Shen Erchai encountered something similar this time, they kept taking people away, just to give the rest of the village a feeling of unease.
This kind of cult is not difficult to deal with, and the people in the cult are usually ordinary people who have been given a little bit of power by demon beasts, that is, the so-called sect leader, and at most the strength of the descent period.
As a disciple of a decent sect, Shen Er would certainly not let this kind of thing go, not to mention that he and You'er were planning to live here for a month, he didn't want to live in a place where he was panicked.
You're going to get depressed.
I don't want to live until the end, there is no one left in the village, only the two of them are left.
So Shen Er said: "Village chief, don't worry, I won't watch these cult organizations run rampant." ”
"Really, old man, I don't know how to thank the fairy chief!" said the village chief, who wanted to kneel down again.
Shen Er had no choice but to help him up again: "It is my duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, if the village chief really wants to be grateful, my friend and I need a place to stay now......"
Before Shen Er could finish speaking, the village chief immediately instructed Erniu, who was standing on the side, "Erniu, hurry up and arrange a place for the immortal chief and his friends to live." ”
Erniu answered and went out.
Seeing this, Shen Er continued: "Then there is Village Chief Lao. Then I would like to ask the village chief to tell me where this cult stronghold is, and I will deal with it. ”
Listening to Shen Er's question, the village chief's face was a little embarrassed: "This ...... We don't know about that. Every time they came to our village to take people away, we didn't dare to follow. ”
After listening to the village chief's answer, Shen Er pondered for a while, and then asked, "When will they come to ask for someone?"
"Hmm...... That's about the time. ”
"Okay, so are the ten people ready for today?"
"It's ready, it's in the empty house at the entrance of the village. ”
"Okay, village chief, you can choose one person from among them, and I will replace you. ”
This is the method that Shen Er thought of, blending in.
As long as Shen Er reined in his aura with all his might, the immortals would definitely not be able to discover his identity as a cultivator, let alone those cultists who were only given a little power by demon beasts.
Then just follow these cultists to their base camp, and then everything will fall into place.
So Shen Er followed the village chief to the empty house at the entrance of the village.
The demon didn't follow, but went directly to the residence prepared by the village chief to go to the door of the graduate student's death.
Such a small cult can't make a move with two immortals, as long as there is Shen Er, it is more than enough.
They entered the empty house, in which ten men and women were seated.
At this moment, the faces of these ten people were all full of worry, uneasiness, and fear, and the atmosphere in the room was very solemn.
Also, they don't know where they're going to be taken and what they're going to do, and the atmosphere isn't solemn.
Seeing the door open, a few people looked up, and a few people simply ignored it, they had already been overwhelmed by fear and couldn't pay attention to anything else.
At this time, the village chief spoke: "Second stunned, come out." ”
So one of the small, monkey-like teenagers looked up blankly.
"You don't have to go today. ”
When the second stunned man heard the words of the village chief, his melancholy face suddenly bloomed with a desperate flower: "Really?!"
After receiving the village chief's affirmation, he bowed to the village chief with the joy of escaping death, and then ran home happily.
Seeing this, the others' expressions were full of envy and jealousy, and a few others had sympathy for Shen Er.
This person is here to replace the second stunned, but it's really unlucky.
In order to avoid being seen by the cultists at that time, Shen Er did not let the village chief tell these people his true identity, and only said that he was a traveler and was arrested by the village chief as a scapegoat.
Shen Er didn't attract much attention, everyone was gloomy and uneasy, and they didn't have so much time to care.
Shen Er went to the place where the two stunned people were sitting and sat down, waiting quietly.
It didn't take long for the door of the house to be opened again......
