CHAPTER XXVI
The night was deep and the rain was pouring down.
As if the heavens were angry, the pouring rain formed a thick rain curtain, covering the whole town, on the eaves, on the road, the rain flowed and accumulated, as if the whole world was going to be submerged.
Ordinary people had already fallen asleep, and under the scattered street lamps in the streets and alleys, there was no one to be seen in the streets, and even the soldiers of the night patrol had already returned to their sentry boxes, cursing and waiting for the heavy rain of the night to pass.
However, almost no one noticed that in the vast rain and deep night, on a secluded path away from the avenue, a horse-drawn carriage was running in the direction of the suburbs of the county in the noisy rain.
The heavy rain covered the traces of the ruts, there were no gates to stop it, there were no guards to interrogate it, the dense streets and houses were getting farther and farther away, and the carriage was like a silent ghost, braving the heavy rain and darkness that swept the world away from the city, and then through a muddy, deserted and remote road, and finally came to a dilapidated old house somewhere on the outskirts of the county.
The thunder bursts, the sky and the earth are dark, only the thunder flashes after the light can be seen in the light, the eaves of this ancient house are hung with rows of miserable white lanterns, and the plaque in the middle of the gate clearly writes two big characters:
Yizhuang!
"Phewβ"
With a soft shout, the carriage stopped at the gate of Yizhuang, and three figures wearing black raincoats stepped out of the carriage, and at the same time, the closed gate of Yizhuang suddenly opened, and two figures who looked like men immediately greeted them, and then moved Yue Zheng, who was in a coma, down.
When the group entered the room, they saw that under the dim light, the white veil was fluttering, and a pair of mourning hall tablets were facing the door, and in the gloomy space, a black coffin was placed on the left and right, showing a different kind of eerie horror.
"The owner, is he the one who is favored by the ghosts and gods?"
After bringing the unconscious Yue Zheng in, two men dressed as men tied Yue Zheng firmly to a chair under the command of the raincoat man, and then respectfully said to the raincoat man led by him:
"You brought him out of a place like the Demon Slayer Hall so easily?"
With a hula, the raincoat man known as the owner of the village took off the hood of his raincoat, revealing a pale and gloomy face of about thirty, which was the man who had previously disguised himself as a guard to deliver packages to Yue Zheng.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Wisdom is often more useful than strength, but fortunately, this kid is still in the special training period, and the time and rest are just staggered with those demon slayers, otherwise I wouldn't have had this opportunity to plan and prepare. β
At this time, the two raincoat people behind him also took off their raincoat hoods, respectively, a thin man with a yellow face, and a short and strong young man who looked quite fierce.
I saw that the short and stout young man first stepped forward, ripped off the forehead guard that Yue Zheng was wearing, and then looked carefully at the third eye of Yue Zheng's eyebrows, and then looked at the owner of Yizhuang suspiciously:
"Master, this kid is really so special, can we really get a reward if we hand him over to the sect?"
"Of course. β
The owner smiled slightly:
"You have been in contact with the church for too short a time, so you don't know, and those who can keep their sanity and sobriety after seeing ghosts and gods are more important than the original blood body, and they are highly valued by the church.
As long as we hand him over, we will not only be able to get a lot of rewards, get rid of the status of peripheral members, and even have the possibility of obtaining the blood of the pure true spirit, saving us an unknown number of years of hard work!"
As soon as the owner of Yizhuang said this, whether it was a thin and tall man, a short young man, or the other two guys who were fighting, their faces showed obvious excitement.
"Owner, when are we going to send him away?"
The people present were excited and worried:
"If we don't send it away as soon as possible, when the Demon Removal Hall reacts, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble. β
"We moved quietly, without attracting anyone's attention, and by the time the people from the Demon Slayer Hall found out, it was probably tomorrow morning. β
The owner of the village Zhizhu was in his hand, and said lightly:
"The heavy rain has covered all the traces, even if they find it, they can't track it down, and we will set off as soon as it is dawn, and when the sky is high and the birds will fly, no matter how powerful the Demon Destroying Hall is, they will not want to find us. β
As he spoke, he seemed to feel something, and suddenly approached Yue Zheng, squinting his eyes unexpectedly:
"This kid, it seems like he's waking up?"
......
Cold and heavy, Yue Zheng's consciousness rose and fell in the chaos.
His subconscious has been fighting against this obscurantism and darkness, and the hard training in the past few days seems to have had a very significant effect, I don't know how long it took, under the fierce resistance of his subconscious, it began to subside, and the sound of rain drifted into his consciousness as if nothing, accompanied by the sound of conversation:
"Just hand him in, we'll ......"
"When...... Send ..... away"
"He looks like he's waking up......"
Eventually, he slowly opened his eyes.
In the line of sight, the lights kept flickering, the white veil fluttered in the dim space, the miserable white lanterns swayed, several completely unfamiliar faces looked at themselves directly, and the dark coffins on the left and right sides were quietly placed, and the invisible gloom and horror made people feel as if they were in the underworld.
Dry!
Rao is heart training has been strong enough during this time, and when he saw this strange scene, his heart beat heavily, and he wanted to stand up in the next moment.
However, although his thoughts were strong, his body was sore, as if he had been pressed on a thousand pounds of weight, and he didn't listen to the call at all, and he couldn't even stand up, let alone break free of the ropes tightly tied to his body.
"You're sober up a lot sooner than I expected. β
In the face of Yue Zheng's momentary stress reaction, among the five people, the owner of Yizhuang smiled:
"But you don't have to struggle, the strongest effect of the magic incense is the subsequent paralysis of the nerves, a small one can put down a formal demon slayer, so that it has no power to resist for several hours, let alone a newcomer like you who only has a breathing method. β
"Is that you?"
In just a moment, Yue Zheng, who found that the struggle was ineffective, suddenly raised his head, looked at the owner of Yizhuang who was speaking, and found that the other party was the person who pretended to be a guard to send a package and plot against him.
However, Yue Zheng had no impression of this person, including the thin man with a strong temperament behind the other party, the short and stout young man, and the two minions, he didn't know either.
People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, the situation is extremely bad, Yue Zheng took a deep breath and said calmly:
"Guys, we don't know each other, can you tell me who you are and what is the purpose of kidnapping me here?"
Although he didn't know what kind of place this was and what the purpose of these people was, he now understood that the other party had taken advantage of the rainstorm to disguise himself as a guard and falsely claim to send him a package, and he obviously had a clear understanding of his own situation and had been planning and preparing for a long time.
Especially the deterrent effect of the Demon Eradication Hall to ordinary people, needless to say, this group of mysterious people dared to sneak into the Demon Eradication Hall and quietly kidnap themselves, it is simply a tiger's mouth to pull teeth, bold, and by no means good!
"Who are we? I am the owner of this farm.......
However, after Yue Zheng's words were asked, the owner of Yizhuang, led by five people, suddenly laughed faintly, and his smile looked particularly gloomy under the dim light.
With a bang, the next moment, under the wide black robe of the owner of Yizhuang, a deformed arm with bloodless color, sharp claws, and serpentine scales showed it to Yue Zheng at once:
"Of course, yours too!"
