Chapter 41 Exploring the Red Bamboo Forest at Night
The next morning, Yu'er got up and stretched, and found that Zhang Ling had already gotten up, sitting on a chair in the room and drinking the tea sent by the villagers.
Yu'er knew that Zhang Ling must have been worried about the matter of the red bamboo forest, so she stepped forward, "Ling Shao, why did you get up so early?
"I'm too lazy to take care of you, I've already had breakfast, I'll serve you your share, on the table outside, and eat it yourself. The uncle went out, saying that he was gathering the villagers, firstly, for the sake of our two once-in-a-century distinguished guests, saying that he would entertain us warmly, and secondly, to think about how to send us out safely. ”
Zhang Ling saw that Yu'er had risen, so he signaled to go to the village after eating.
"Oh, yes, I'm not hungry, let's go out and have a look now, shall we?" Yu'er obviously preferred the hustle and bustle outside, and couldn't wait.
"Since that's the case, let's go!" Zhang Ling saw that Yu'er was interested, so he went out with Yu'er to see what kind of bizarre village this Hongzhu Village was.
After Zhang Ling went out, he saw that every household in the vicinity was empty, and he must have gone to the village to gather. Then he walked deeper into the village, and finally saw the villagers of Hongzhu Village in a large clearing.
As far as the eye could see, there was a big man, presumably the leader of this village, who was gathering the villagers together to discuss how to escort Zhang Ling and Yu'er out. Zhang Ling stood not far away, and those villagers naturally didn't notice him, but when he heard the discussion among those villagers, he was really moved by the innocence and kindness of these villagers.
Zhang Ling felt more and more that the more prosperous the big city, the more sinister people's hearts might be, but these villagers who had been trapped in Hongzhu Village for a hundred years and isolated from the world were much kinder, so what did Zhang Ling's life and death have to do with them? But these lovely villagers not only warmly welcomed Zhang Ling and them, but also thought of risking their lives to escort them out.
Zhang Ling looked at the villagers who had gathered together, and thought that they had not been able to go out for more than a hundred years and could not see the outside world, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. Zhang Ling was indeed moved by these villagers, so he thought that he should help them.
"Yu'er, let's go to the red bamboo forest at night, are you sure you can catch that snake demon?" Zhang Ling turned his head and whispered to Yu'er beside him.
"Hmm, Ling Shao, you have to go to the Red Bamboo Forest, but we don't know what kind of cultivation that snake demon is, what kind of way it came from, go rashly, if you can't catch him, Ling Shao, you are very dangerous!" Yu'er heard Ling Shao suddenly say that he was going to the Red Bamboo Forest, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Yu'er, what I need most now is actual combat and experience, not to mention that these villagers are not kind to us, we should help them get out of trouble, what do you say?" Zhang Ling suddenly said firmly, his eyes looked at Yu'er firmly, as if waiting for Yu'er's affirmative reply.
"Okay, since Ling Shao said so, even if you are a crushed jade, you have to accompany you, and you must ensure that you are thorough!"
Yu'er couldn't help but be infected by Zhang Ling's words, and she found that Ling Shao was not only kind-hearted and world-minded, but also revealed a faint fortitude and tenacity in his bones!
One day after that, all the villagers came to witness the two rare guests in a century, and invited Zhang Ling to their home as a guest, Zhang Ling was not easy to refuse, so he accepted the enthusiasm of these villagers until nightfall.
"Two, it's getting late, you guys should rest first, we have already discussed and decided to take a risk in Hongzhu Village, and tomorrow the strong men of the whole village will escort you out of the village. You don't have to worry. "The villager Han walked into Zhang Ling's room and said that he would let the whole village escort him out of the village tomorrow!
"Ling Shao, these villagers really want to send you out of the village? But where are these mortals the opponents of the goblins? It seems that Ling Shao is right, tonight, we have to go to the red bamboo forest. ”
"Yes, when the villagers are asleep, we will quietly go out of the village and go to the red bamboo forest to see what secrets are in it, and what kind of demons are at work!" Zhang Ling saw that Yu'er also agreed with his opinion, so he planned to wait until the villagers fell asleep and it was not easy to notice, so he went to the red bamboo forest to find out.
After about an hour, Zhang Ling made sure that the villagers were asleep, so he and Yu'er quietly walked out of the room and came to the stream outside the village.
"Ling Shao, look! That bamboo forest is really as the uncle said, glowing with red light in the sky! It seems that there are really demons at work. ”
"Yes, let's cross the stream and see what is going on!" Zhang Ling and Yu'er came to the stream, and when they both saw the red light in the bamboo forest, they immediately waded across the stream and arrived at the bamboo forest.
"Ling Shao, you follow me to prevent the demons from sneaking up, I must ensure your safety. As soon as Yu'er and Zhang Ling entered the red bamboo forest, Yu'er covered Zhang Ling behind her.
"Now the demon hasn't appeared yet, it's okay!" In fact, the reason why Zhang Ling came to the red bamboo forest this time was to help the villagers of Hongzhu Village get out of trouble, and the other was to train himself, otherwise his cultivation would stop and he would not be able to advance an inch!
Zhang Ling and Yu'er watched left and right together, walking forward cautiously, but they never found any trace of the snake demon.
Just as they were puzzled, the wind suddenly rose, and the red light that was shining on the bamboo suddenly rolled like flowing water.
"Ling Shao be careful! the demon may have discovered us!" Yu'er saw the scene in front of her and knew that the snake demon had discovered them. Immediately cover Zhang Ling behind him.
"Hahaha, I can't imagine that after decades, there are still people who don't give up and dare to break into the red bamboo forest of the old lady!"
Just when Zhang Ling and Yu'er were extremely vigilant, a loud laugh suddenly echoed in this red bamboo forest, which looked extremely terrifying on this dark and windy night.
"Hmph, what kind of demon are you, you dare to make trouble here, show up for me quickly, don't hide!" Yu'er knew that the demon was near, and she must not be afraid and slack at this moment, let alone escape, otherwise she would already be at a disadvantage before she fought!
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the red bamboo forest! Don't you die?" At this time, with a whirlwind hitting the forest, the rumored snake demon finally appeared.
