Chapter 456: A long-haired monster with a thousand cuts
Monster?
Could it be that there are monsters wreaking havoc nearby? If that were the case, he would not have been able to shake off his hands and leave.
Gu Xueting fell, "You all get up." Who's going to tell me, what's going on with that youkai? ”
In the crowd, an old man on crutches walked up to him and bowed: "Thank you so much just now, Immortal Master, otherwise our village will be burned to the ground." ”
Gu Xueting hurriedly helped him up: "The old man doesn't have to be like this, I just happened to be passing by here, and I really can't afford it." ”
The old man held his arm, "Immortal Master is really a good person!" Lao Yu is the village chief of this Huaishu Village, and the monster thing, please ask the immortal master to move to the old man's house, and the old man will listen to the immortal master carefully. ”
"It's fine." Gu Xueting glanced at the crowd and went to his house with the old village chief.
The old village chief's house was not affected by the fire, and after entering the house, the old village chief asked Gu Xueting to sit on the kang and let his wife bring tea.
However, it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who came in, wearing a water-green skirt with a waist, an orchid hairpin inserted into her black hair, and oil on her hair, and a somewhat strong gardenia fragrance escaped.
She put down the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the old village chief and Gu Xueting, and a snow-white wrist was exposed during the movements.
"Master, Immortal Master, Lan'er has stepped back."
The tone was delicate and soft, and she glanced at Gu Xueting shyly before leaving.
Gu Xueting's expression was always faint, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, he has seen a lot of such tricks, and this woman's methods are really not worth mentioning.
"Immortal Master, drink tea, drink tea, this tea was picked back from the deep mountains by Xiao Lao'er's grandson, but it is fragrant, and I am usually reluctant to drink it."
Gu Xueting picked up the teacup, took a sip, and noticed a faint aura, which was really a little surprised.
"Not bad."
After a while, Na Lan'er came in again, carrying a tray with three plates of side dishes.
"It's all some rough things, and I hope the immortal master won't dislike it." The old village chief said.
Gu Xueting said: "Boss, let's talk about the monster, I can get rid of it as soon as possible, so that the villagers will not be frightened again." ”
The old village chief took out his dry tobacco stick, took two puffs, and spit out a thick puff of smoke.
"This has to start from three months ago......"
Three months ago, on a full moon night, a hairy monster broke into the village and dragged away a woman who happened to get up to relieve herself. I searched for most of the night, but I didn't see the shadow of the hairy monster.
The next day, the villagers found the woman under the big locust tree at the head of the village.
The woman died a miserable death, naked, hanging from a tree, with blood marks on her body, and her lower body being ruined.
After her husband buried the woman, he silently took the family's hoe and went into the mountain, vowing to avenge his mother-in-law!
But in the end, instead of taking revenge, he put himself in it, and a few days later, his bones were found by the villagers who had gone up the mountain to hunt.
The next full moon night the hairy-haired monster reappeared and took a woman captive again.
The woman also died a terrible death.
The old village chief sighed, and every wrinkle on his face was engraved with sorrow.
"That hairy monster has already ruined the three women in the village, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid our Huaishu Village will be extinct."
At this time, Lan'er suddenly broke in and threw herself at Gu Xueting's feet, wanting to grab the hem of his clothes.
As soon as Gu Xueting flicked his sleeves, Lan'er was waved away and fell to the ground.
Feeling the coldness coming from him, Lan'er shivered involuntarily, almost forgetting what she was about to say.
She settled down, looked up at him, tears rippled: "Immortal Master, please help us, as long as you can get rid of the long-haired monster with thousands of knives, Lan'er, Lan'er is willing to do anything!" ”
Gu Xueting ignored her and left a message to the old village chief: "Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, if the hairy monster comes again, I will get rid of it, and the old man can rest assured." ”
When the words fell, the figure disappeared.
Lan'er, who was lying on the ground, got up and was about to open her mouth, but was stopped by a glance from the old village chief, and returned to her house with her head down.
On the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Gu Xueting's figure suddenly appeared.
He took out the Shadow Stone and sent a message to Shen Yizhi: "Zhizhi, I'm going to delay for a day here, don't worry." ”
He took the Shadow Stone into his arms, sat down cross-legged on the branch, and began to cultivate.
What he didn't know was that Shen Yizhi hadn't heard from him at all.
This night, the shadow stone in his arms did not move.
Early in the morning, when the sun was rising, Gu Xueting incorporated the purest wisp of aura in heaven and earth into the dantian, and then opened his eyes.
The first time was to take out the photo stone in his arms, but he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Zhizhi has not replied to him.
Maybe she's still in space.
The small world will block the transmission of the Shadow Stone's message.
However, a day passed, and the Shadow Stone still did not reply, and Gu Xueting's mood couldn't help but become anxious.
Do you know that something is wrong?
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about the co-birth contract, otherwise he would not have been able to wait for a moment.
As soon as the hairy monster was removed, he immediately caught up.
On this day, it was the fifteenth, and when night came, a bright moon rose into the sky.
Gu Xueting stayed on the locust tree all the time, and cast a trick to make it impossible for people to find out.
When the village chief thought he was leaving, he sent him a message, "Don't worry, boss, I'm here tonight." ”
A strange glint flashed in the old village chief's cloudy eyes, and he continued to smoke dry cigarettes as if nothing had happened.
Gu Xueting poked out his divine sense, and the wind and grass in the entire village couldn't hide it from him, as long as the hairy monster appeared, he would find out immediately.
As for the nightlife of the people in the village, he deliberately blocked it, after all, he didn't have a habit of snooping on people's privacy.
When the moon rose to mid-heaven, the expected hairy monster did not arrive.
Gu Xueting felt a trace of strangeness in his heart.
He stepped out and came to the foot of the hill to the east of the village.
Since the hairy monster doesn't come, then he will find it himself!
However, when he left the confines of the village, he felt empty under his feet, as if he had stepped into the void.
The mountains, the moon, and the night sky are all gone.
The next moment, he appeared in another part of the village.
Gu Xueting looked at the village in the night, his expression inexplicable.
Turning around, he went out in the other direction and was teleported to a certain part of the village again.
Gu Xueting summoned Xiao Man again and let it keep rising, but when it reached a certain height, he touched the boundary and returned to the village again.
This village is actually a small space.
In this way, the anomalies he had noticed earlier were explained.
In the past, the small spaces he encountered were very full of aura, and most of them were uninhabited, and even if there were, there were monks who cultivated in their bodies.
It was the first time I had encountered such a small space formed by a mortal village, and it was no different from the village outside.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed the anomaly until now.
