The strange meat dishes at this table and the conversation with Fang Cai had already satisfied their appetites, and a few people hastily picked up some vegetarian food, and after tasting it, they could finish the meal. Maybe they all thought of one place, as soon as the meal was withdrawn, Liu Shenghan took the lead in asking about the distribution of monsters around the village.

The nagging grandmother was still waiting to set up a dragon gate formation with them, and a villager next to her heard the question and came closer: "What's the matter, you still want to kill monsters?" It's easy to say that we kill monsters, and we are all happy to do things for the people. It's this youkai...... You're dead, what's the arrangement? ”

He slurred, Jun Aoyan wrinkled his eyebrows, a little disgusted but clearly assured him: "We don't want anything from the monster - we will kill it, and as for the rest, you can do whatever you want." ”

The man immediately smiled, and the words he spat out became much more fluent and crisp. According to him, there is a big monster hidden on the mountainside not far away, the kind that can speak human words, a ghost, who shows off his might on weekdays. They couldn't do anything about him. Youkai still hang around every once in a while. His hiding place was in the mountain house of a large family. It's just that until now, no one dares or can kill the door to deal with this kind of cannibalistic demon head-on.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

After Bai Ya finished speaking, he suddenly got up and went to his residence without looking back. His companions followed one after another, and even Qi Huan deeply felt that he didn't dare to talk to these people. His stomach is still turning over the river and the sea, maybe it's a psychological effect.

The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, they moved. The four of them met under the eaves.

Qi Huan said worriedly: "You say, is the direction that the man pointed us out last night reliable or not?" Don't touch the void, or worse, poke the monster's nest. ”

"I don't think so." Ao Yan analyzed calmly, but the next words even when she said it herself, there was a chill. "After all, they're counting on us to bring them ...... Good luck. ”

"Now, if I follow you, will I have good luck?"

An unfamiliar voice interjected into the conversation.

The source of the sound was almost in the back of Liu Shenghan's head, and she immediately turned her head, but she didn't pull away—it was a childish voice. At this time, a white hair is being embellished under the eaves, which is very eye-catching.

"Hey, they've all told you, right?" The little boy I met yesterday grinned at them, "I'm not like those ordinary people. I've been wanting to find a monster for a long time, but there is no one in the village who is reliable. But I can see that you are capable people, and following you, I feel that I can rest assured. It's too boring here, and it's idle to be idle, so I'll go with you? I'm more familiar with this mountain than you. ”

This is of course impossible.

Bai Ya just said the sentence "no way", which is already not like a child. Qi Huan kindly persuaded a few words, and sent the child to stay where it was cool, and there was nothing to do to play with mud or something. If you want to ...... If you eat meat, you can't miss out on it, so you don't need to be in a hurry.

Soft or hard, everyone's attitude is very resolute. The kid seemed mysterious, had something they didn't understand, and was a member of this strange mountain village. Besides, at the end of the day, he's still a child, and they're never going to take a child to risk. Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, the boy was very upset, and stretched his face at them, stuck out his tongue, bared his teeth and grimaced, and grunted up the roof. When they walked out of the courtyard, Liu Shenghan glanced back. There was indeed no one behind him.

Just such a thing is just a small episode. The rooster had just crowed, and the village had not yet woken up, and the four of them walked along the empty path through the last house at the entrance of the village, without meeting the rest of the village. There were also mountains floating in the road, winding around their feet, making the path among the weeds even more obscure. The person walking behind simply stopped looking ahead, but stared at the heel of the person in front of him, and his eyes widened to identify the lower foot among the grass and trees. Only Bai Ya, who was at the forefront, had to look down and look up so as not to lose his way.

As he walked, he suddenly stepped on his feet. Qi Huan didn't come back to his senses and hit his head on the back.

"Hey, no, Lao Bai, are you taking the wrong way? I'll tell you if there's a cliff ahead of you, you'll have to say it, and I can't hold back my strength and I'm going to slam you down......"

He gradually lost his voice, and poked his head out to stare at the small figure not far away. The shadow looked cheerful, jumping up and down and waving at them.

"No, what's the matter with you, kid? I told you to stay in the village, it's a big deal to wait for us at the entrance of the village, what are you doing to send ...... eighteen phases"

"How did you get ahead of us?"

Bai Ya interrupted Qi Huan's confused chatter and stared at the child who walked closer.

"I'm here, why don't you take me to play." The boy directly ignored their questioning, stood with his waist crossed, and raised his head and smiled at Bai Ya, "I said that I am familiar with this mountain, and I am also familiar with monsters. If you can't talk to them, you should think about it, take me, take me, take me......"

Bai Ya directly bypassed him and walked forward. The rest looked at him hesitantly, shook their heads, and followed.

As the sun rose, their vision became clearer. The terrible thing was that each time it was farther and farther away, the boy appeared as far as the eye could see and awaited them. Several times, in the end, even Bai Ya almost lost his temper, and kicked the child's ass when he walked to him again: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I didn't do anything, I want you to take me to play." The child pulled the grass and raised his face, smiling scoundrelly and slyly.

They had no other way, anyway, after walking so far, it was estimated that they were almost there, and it was not realistic or cost-effective to send this child back. The kid didn't show any other abilities, but at least they could be sure that he was fast enough to look like a half-demon. If there is any danger, with his cleverness, he will probably not be able to hold them back - at least there is no problem in escaping.

The silent mountain road became lively. The birds squeaked and the boy's mouth shattered, and although he was jumping up and down with a few adults, he didn't stop talking. From his own account, they learned that the child's name was Mingming, and that the sister who was said to have been dead for a long time was called Mingming. But in his mouth, his sister never left here, never left him. In the most ordinary tone of a child's conversation with his playmates, he casually brought up what his sister had said to him, and talked to them about the "sister with whom he talked a lot."

Jun Aoyan couldn't help but ask him, "Your sister is ...... In what place? ”

"Here, here."

Ming Ming poked her chest, which was where her heart was. He was still grinning, and he was kicking the pebbles in the road as he answered. Liu Shenghan didn't say anything. However, Jun Aoyan vaguely felt that when Ming Ming said this, her eyes moved, as if she was thinking about something.

They followed the path that appeared and disappeared from time to time, and they didn't know how far they went, and they chatted about each other. It wasn't until something different from the mountains and forests finally appeared in sight.

It was a mansion-like building, with no courtyard walls, and when you got closer, you could see the ruins covered by the undulating vegetation on the ground. The courtyard is almost the same as the mountain forest outside, except for some more bricks and stones covered with grass and moss. Even the mansion in the middle of the building, the outer wall is crawling with vines, and it is clearly written that it has been abandoned for a long time and is uninhabited.

The five of them tensed their nerves and approached the closed door of the house a little bit. Bai Ya gestured, wanting to catch Mingming to the side and wait outside. Who knows what awaits them inside? But Mingming didn't react at all except pouting. Maybe he understood it, but he insisted on going his own way and insisted on wading into troubled waters. Bai Ya didn't care about him anymore, took a breath by himself, and pulled out his knife. The companions gathered around him, Jun Aoyan also carried a weapon in his hand, and Qi Huan touched his pocket, probably carrying some props of yin and yang. Liu Shenghan was protecting Ming Ming behind his back, he couldn't see it for a while, but he never worried about this woman - even if she never showed her dew, it gave people a sense of reliability that seemed to come from a strong background, perhaps from her calm temperament.

Bai Ya handed out the tip of the knife and tentatively knocked on the half-decayed door.

No response. Judging by the touch in his hand, the door was not locked. He slammed the door open, and the cold air came to his face, which made people feel a little strange. However, there was no one and nothing in front of him. Only the excessively clean ground made them suspicious.

"Don't come in, don't close the door." Sensing that the rest of the people had the intention of entering the door, Bai Ya didn't look back, and said vigilantly, "The house is dark, and once the door is closed, the vision is unknown." ”

It's easy to sneak up.

"There are friends from afar...... Why are they all standing at the door? ”

As soon as Bai Ya's words fell, a voice rang out from behind the faded screen. Its owner also paced into their field of vision, dressed in brocade, folding the light leaking in the door, faintly visible exquisite dark lines, looking extraordinary. His face also emerged from the shadows, and there was a two-dotted mole under his left eye, adding a few different kinds of demonic stalks. Although the right side of his face is mostly covered by black hair and an eye patch, judging from the half of his face exposed, it is also a good look.

However, appearing in such an abandoned courtyard, even the beauty of the country will only look even more weird. Not to mention that this noble son's face is still adorned with traces like snake scales. The other one who appeared immediately after him was a thrilling contrast to him, with drooping eyebrows, sharp-beaked monkey gills, two canine teeth sticking out of his mouth, and a jackal hair on his face, vividly writing the identity of a monster on his face.

"In Xiayan?, I don't know how many distinguished guests visited, and they were not welcomed."

His tone dragged on for a long time, and the kind words on his face became vaguely wrong when he heard the ears of several people.

Aside from those who are enough to descend ten guises with one force, the more mediocre the monster, the more simple-minded they are, acting only on instinct, fighting and killing. This seems to be a monster who knows the etiquette well, but it makes people can't figure out the depths, and it's not easy to turn around and cut off. Bai Ya frowned and frowned, and finally said: "The small village nearby, are you old enough to disturb, burn, kill and loot?" ”

Peaceful? There was no response, but the jackal couldn't hold it back, and sneered: "Jokes, inferior groups, as long as you want to kill, you will naturally kill them." Boy, who are you asking? Be polite to grandpa. ”

He was too polite. Bai Ya's face became gloomy, he heard the squirming movement behind him, and the rest of the people also stood inside the door, forming a confrontation with the two monsters.
