The woman began to cry. "You don't understand, the tradition of this town, if I don't give my daughter, the black clouds will suck everyone up. ”

"And yourself. "Every word of the day can cut a woman's into several pieces.

"You don't know how hard it is for me to take her alone. The woman ran away crying.

The sword looked at the day without suspicion. "Are you determined to wade into this troubled water?"

Bai Tian said seriously: "Well, we have to find that ghost mansion and solve it." ”

"We?" said Kennoi, who had no point in his words.

Bai Tian took a deep look at the master for a long time, the hatred of the extermination of the clan was not painful for this man, and he would not help.

"I, just me. "Daylight left the side of the master for half a day and walked towards the little girl's house.

"If you wish. Jian was speechless, slowing down. "I can help you. ”

"Give the sword back, even if you help me. Bai Tian waved his hand, leaving only a back for Master Banri.

Bai Tian thought to himself, outside of the Sword Clan, I can only rely on myself, right, father.

He decided to go see the little girl first, and then talk to the townspeople, especially the mayor, who must know a lot of the inside story.

The little girl had only two chairs at home, and there was no place to cook, and the sleeping place was made of weeds.

The little girl squatted in the corner, writing and drawing with the branches, and the liquid secreted by the branches left shallow marks on the ground.

"What are you drawing?" said Dayday, who also crouched down to look.

A tall man, who had just been sketched by a little girl with a twig.

"Is this your father?" asked Daylight.

The little girl did not answer, immersed in her own world, and continued to draw seriously.

The more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, and the little girl first drew a circle on the man's face, and then began to apply it vigorously, breaking the branches with such force that she kept scratching.

"Stop. Daylight took the little girl's hand.

The little girl looked back, her face full of horror. "Brother?"

The little girl's mother ran out of the other room, hugged the little girl, and watched the day warily.

"I don't mean anything malicious, what did she draw?" said Daylight.

"It has nothing to do with you, leave my house immediately, or I'll call someone. The woman threatened.

"Brother?" the little girl said in a non-compliant voice.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you. Daylight gave the little girl one last look, and withdrew from the house, which was not at all a home.

The open space in the center of the town has been gone for half a day, and Ken Wu is always elusive.

During the day, I looked around and walked straight towards a luxuriously decorated two-storey house with flowers and trees in front of the door.

The door was unlocked, and the interior of the house was more luxurious, with decorations made of animal heads on the walls, and tables and chairs of fine wood.

The smell of incense fills the air, and this place is very different from the little girl's house with four walls, like two worlds.

Daylight came to the second floor.

For half a day, Master was sitting on a chair holding a jade cup, with a greedy expression on his face, while the bruised Mayor Lu Kan was pouring him wine.

"What are you doing?" said daytime with ice ballast.

"Little doll, this is a good Liuxia drunk, it's hard to find money, I can't imagine that there is one here, look at this small town, there is a palace. Jian Wu sniffed the contents of the cup vigorously, and his expression of intoxication leaked.

"Little brother, you can have a drink too, the food here is delicious, I think you haven't eaten for a long time. The mayor said cautiously, with a look of flattery on his face, and came over with a bottle of wine.

Lu Kan didn't show any resentment, as if the person who beat him was not daylight.

Daylight glanced at the table, which was full of dishes that could not be named, and judging by the appearance, it was obvious that someone had eaten them.

Of course, it can also be seen from the half-day master's oil-stained beard.

"I have a question for you. Daylight's eyes moved away from the food and focused on the mayor of the town, Lu Kan.

"Of course, I know that, after all, I'm afraid of getting hurt again. Lu Kan let out a self-deprecating laugh after speaking.

Daylight knew that the person in front of him was not simple, and the atmosphere in the whole town was not right.

"Is this your home?" the day remembered the little girl's empty home.

Lu Kan replied: "To be precise, this is the mayor's house, the previous mayor, as well as the previous mayor, the upper office, the upper office, are all here, and those in power will always have some privileges." ”

Seeing Daylight's doubts, Lu Kan continued: "It's very luxurious here, thanks to the people of the Dead Wilderness, who always leave one or two good swords behind when they pass through the town. ”

Scanning the room during the day, the dishes on the table, and the interior decoration are too luxurious, so luxurious that they can't be exchanged for a few swords.

"What about that ghost cloud? do you know about it?" Chen Pingfa went straight to the point.

I could see a moment of panic in the mayor's eyes, and then he was covered up with inexplicable determination.

Lu Kan has a heartbeat. "I have already told your master, out of the town, all the way to the west, there is a black mountain, there is an immortal cultivator on the mountain, he came to Impermanence Town a long time ago, in the name of accepting apprentices, he took the child away, every other year, but the second year but I can't see the child I took away last time, and finally the people in the town feel that something is wrong, under the leadership of about the fourth or fifth mayor, the townspeople collectively resisted, causing the immortal cultivators to be angry, and the ghost cloud fell, and the number of people in the town decreased by more than half. ”

"Then you didn't think about moving away?" said Daylight.

"The scary part is here, as long as someone escapes, in the end the black cloud will come back with that person's body, that thing can see through people's hearts, and everyone is frightened. ”

"But there are people who will pass through this town, for example, if I leave, will the ghost cloud take me back? And you will also leave the town to buy and sell things. ”

"It only catches the townspeople, just as a shepherd can distinguish between his own sheep and other people's, and can distinguish between good sheep and bad sheep, so it can see through people's hearts. ”

The day was silent, waiting for the mayor to continue.

Lu Kan continued: "In the end, the people of the town and the ghost monks reached an agreement, and every year at this time, the black clouds would take away a child, and everyone in the town would not have to worry about their lives, and the town would slowly return to the right track. ”

"What about those who have lost their children?"

"They anesthetized themselves when the child was taken to cultivate immortals. ”

"So you have survived until now at the expense of your children. ”

From the mayor's stunned gaze, Bai Tian understood that the people of the town felt that this was right, and that the sacrifice of one person for many was acceptable in this town.

"When is the next time Oniyun comes?"

The mayor muttered with a frightened face. "You knock it off, it will come back with more, and tonight, we're all going to die. ”

"He's going to be dead before tonight. "With a sip during the day, he will take the initiative to deal with that ghost monk during the day today.

Daylight noticed that the mayor's gaze kept glancing at Master Banri.

"What are you looking at?" asked Dayday, who felt the smell of the room stronger.

"Forget what I told you. Lu Kan's tone changed, and he was a little proud.

"What?" "Daylight saw the face of the half-day master stuck into a certain vegetable plate.

Look at Mayor Lu Kan's face again and start to distort, and then the whole room starts to spin.

"Knock !!" fell straight to the ground during the day.

Although I didn't eat anything during the day, there was obviously a drug in this room, and it was those strange-smelling incense.
