Chapter 12: Monsters

A sense of familiarity flooded my heart, and I couldn't help but observe the boy in white carefully.

The eyes are large and bright, the eyebrows are not very thick but shapely, the straight nose bridge, and the slightly thick lips are matched together, giving people a handsome and warm atmosphere that is thousands of miles away.

The boy in white, who was staring at him a little embarrassed, showed a burst of shame on his face, and his skin changed from fair to pink, adding a different kind of temptation.

Suzaku confirmed that she had never seen him in her previous life or in this life, but it seemed that she had known him for a thousand or ten thousand years, which was really strange.

At this time, it is estimated that there is no suspense in the battle of the cricket, and the other two children also stood up, and after discovering the Suzaku, the reaction was huge.

The girl in pink shrank her body, holding her face with both hands, her eyes full of horror. But then, he was blocked by the boy in the dark clothes.

The boy in the dark clothes had a serious face, his thick eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to encounter something terrible.

"Who are you? Where are you from? ”

Faced with the question, Suzaku didn't care, but felt a little helpless for the reaction of the two children.

Just because I'm ugly, as for it?

The girl, instead, left the protection of the boy in black clothes and hid her body behind the boy in white.

The boy in white asked the same question with a serious face.

Suzaku was puzzled, so he told the truth, pointed to the fruit forest, and said where he came from.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the faces of the three children changed, and then they ran to the village, looking back as they ran, as if they were afraid that they would catch up.

After a while, a drum beat sounded in the village, and then the whole world fell silent.

Suzaku, I can't imagine that such a thing will happen, I really can't figure out what happened to these three children. Children don't understand, just ask the adults.

Suzaku slowly walked towards the village.

In the first house, the door was open, and the iron pot on the stove in the courtyard was still steaming, smelling like stewed meat, fragrant. I shouted at the door for a long time, but no one answered.

The second family was also quiet, and the food was set on the table, but there was no one in sight.

In the third household, a pot containing rice fell crookedly in the courtyard, and the rice was spilled on the ground. Still no one.

……

Suzaku walked around the whole village without believing in evil, but he didn't see a single figure, not even the three children.

Such a strange thing, Suzaku is the first time to encounter it, and I can't figure it out. Sitting under the tree at the entrance of the village, thinking about all kinds of possibilities.

A figure floated down from the distant mountain, did not land, and jumped up quickly with its toes on the branches and crops, and after a while, it came to the entrance of the village.

There was almost no sound when he landed, and he glanced at the situation in the village and brought his figure to Suzaku.

Suzaku was startled, there was no one just now, and suddenly a person appeared in front of him.

The person who came was two figures, his eyebrows were white, five strands of long hair floated on his chest, he wore a purple and gold crown on his head, he was dressed in a navy blue robe, his arms were hugging in front of him, and his right arm was leaning on a dust. Looking at his face, he is kind and amiable.

"Grandpa, old ...... Dao Chief, can you tell me where all the people in the village have gone? ”

Although Suzaku was taken aback, he saw that the person who came was not a fierce god or a bully, so he chose to forget it, and it was better to solve the mystery first.

"Little Daoyou, can you tell me how you got here? With whom? ”

The old Taoist elder did not answer Suzaku's question, but asked Suzaku a few words.

Suzaku talked about how he came here unexpectedly, and how he found that the whole village had disappeared.

After hearing this, the old Taoist chief looked suspicious, and suddenly reached out and tapped on Suzaku's body, Suzaku immediately couldn't move a bit, and grabbed Suzaku's wrist again, and called the pulse.

After a moment, the old Taoist leader put down Suzaku's wrist and tapped it again, and Suzaku regained his freedom.

Little stars popped out of Suzaku's eyes, the moment just now was so magical, this must be a master of the world. Don't miss it, don't miss it.

"Old Daoist, old man, can you take me as a disciple? What am I going to learn...... What the...... Sunflower point acuman, yes, it's Bai Zhantang's one, I want to become a hero, I ...... You can take me as your apprentice,......"

Suzaku really wanted to seize this opportunity, and spoke incoherently.

After checking it himself, the old Taoist believed Suzaku's words, but he was confused about what Suzaku said, "Sunflower Point Acuman" and "Bai Zhantang". It doesn't matter, though.

The old Taoist priest walked to an inconspicuous place at the entrance of the village, removed the covered stone slab, and stamped on it rhythmically with his foot.

After a while, the drum sounded again, and immediately afterwards, people from all the families poked their heads out to observe, and soon gathered and ran to the entrance of the village.

"Wang Daochang, is it a foreign enemy?"

"Wang Daochang, I heard that a monster is coming, right?"

"Wang Dao Chief, was the monster killed by you?"

"Wang Daochang, was that little girl snatched by a monster?"

……

The Taoist chief and Suzaku were surrounded by a flood.

Suzaku is so angry, how did I become a monster? Others say it's a man-eating monster, just like me, can eat people?

However, I would also like to thank them for knowing Master (let's call it that, although not yet.) Surname.

Wang Daochang smiled and nodded to everyone, and also answered everyone's questions in a unified voice, not loud, everyone heard clearly, as if they were saying it in their ears.

"It's a misunderstanding, this girl, I brought it, and I haven't told you yet. There are no enemies, no! Let's go home, everybody."

Maybe most of them hid before they had time to eat, and they were hungry for a while, and after hearing the Taoist chief, they all hurried home.

"Oh, my stove is still lit."

"My pot is almost mushy."

……

Wang Daochang took Suzaku to the middle of the village, and there was a small Taoist temple in the middle of the village. A simple two-entry house, with three rooms on the outside, and a small door behind the statue leading to the backyard. There are only two houses in the backyard for living and entertaining.

At this time, Suzaku and Wang Daochang were in the meditation room in the backyard. The house is simple, with a portrait of Daozun hanging on the wall of the door, and a long offering table under it, with incense and incense burners on it. On the ground, seven or eight futons were neatly arranged, and nothing else.

"Please take me as an apprentice, I am homeless, you can take me."

Suzaku pleaded again.

Wang Daochang's face was groaning, and he did not speak. It's just that I once again diagnosed Suzaku's pulse, and after the left hand was diagnosed, I changed it to my right hand, and then changed it back.

For half a day, Wang Daochang's brows became tighter and tighter. He stopped his hand suddenly, looked directly at Suzaku and said:

"You should be a dead man!"
