In the middle of the night, someone knocked on your door, you looked through the cat's eye, an eye stared straight at you, what do you feel?

Zhao Ke now felt as if his heart had been stabbed, and he suddenly tightened, and subconsciously threw out the flying knife in his hand.

The blade passes through, and there is only a layer of tissue paper-like door panels, just listen to "poof! There was a muffled sound, and a black shadow made a thumping footsteps.

"Don't run!"

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment, and then after coming back to his senses, he didn't have time to pull the door, so he slammed the door open, and saw the black shadow in front of him, and the source hit the black shadow mercilessly.

The feeling of starting is cold, but it feels like hitting a sponge, soft and weak, and even the dark energy that I hit into it seems to sink into the sea.

"Not human!"

Zhao Ke's heart jumped, and just by the feeling of his hand, he judged that the other party was definitely not a person, at least not a living person, otherwise it would not be soft to this extent.

I saw the black shadow figure rush forward a few steps in embarrassment, and suddenly turned around, a daytime face became clear in the moonlight, a round and stylish goose egg face, and a thick long hair covering half of the face, especially the pitiful eyes, with a little frightened, just like a frightened little white rabbit.

If you change someone and see that there is a beautiful girl in front of you, you will inevitably have some doubts in your heart.

But Zhao Ke is different, as soon as he comes into contact, he knows that the other party is definitely not a living person, even if he hides outside the door in the middle of the night and peeps at them, what kind of intentions can he have.

Therefore, instead of keeping his hand, Zhao Ke was moved and activated the special ability of "Ghost Bride", Soul Eater.

A large black mouth opened in the palm of his hand and bit down on the woman's head.

When the palm of the hand was less than an inch away from the top of the woman's head, a black shadow rushed out from the side and hit Zhao Ke's back head.

"Boom!"

Before he had time to come back to his senses, Zhao Ke's whole person instantly hit his head in the grass shed on the side, and a wooden stake hit Zhao Ke's chest, almost making Zhao Ke angry.

When I looked up, I saw that the two women didn't know what they were holding, and as soon as they turned around, they turned into a cloud of black mist and rushed out.

By the time Yuanzhen and the others came out of the house, the two black shadows had already disappeared.

"Why did you rush out just now? You okay. ”

Lu Hao has just woken up, but his postage points have basically been exhausted, without postage points, he is basically a little stronger than ordinary people, and he can't even compare to a Japanese warrior in a head-to-head battle.

So a cat was behind, and at this time he saw two black shadows gone, so he dared to come out.

"You're a show!!"

Zhao Ke pinched Lu Hao's throat, pressed him against the wall, and pressed the cold flying knife on Lu Hao's chin: "Although I accepted your surrender agreement, I can't kill you, but it doesn't mean that I will always carry you this waste!" ”

Once he accepts the surrender, Zhao Ke Lu Hao is equivalent to a temporary teammate and cannot cause damage to each other.

Lu Hao was afraid that he also saw this, so he dared to hide behind and watch Zhao Ke make a move by himself, planning to keep one point if he could keep one point, and definitely not spend a little effort.

But now, Zhao Kehe directly told him that it was best not to make such a small calculation again.

Stared at by Zhao Ke's cold eyes, Lu Hao's face flickered, and after being pushed away by Zhao Ke, he let out a long breath, looking at Zhao Ke's eyes, it became difficult to see.

Seeing Yuan Zhen, who was already standing outside the house, Zhao Ke glanced at Yuan Zhen.

Finding that Yuan Zhen was frowning, he had the heart to make a move, but his arm was dragged by the old woman.

"That's the god of the mountain, you can't hurt them." The old woman cried out with a sad face.

"Nonsense, if it's a mountain god, how can he come to harm you?"

Yuan Zhen looked at the old woman and said through gritted teeth.

In his eyes, only these mountain villagers would believe this nonsense.

But the old woman didn't care about this, she hugged Yuanzhen's arm and cried loudly, crying so loudly that the surrounding villagers came out of the house one after another.

Zhao Ke took a closer look, these villagers were all old men with gray hair, and there was no one in the prime of life in the village.

After the villagers saw Zhao Ke and the three of them, and after hearing the words of the old woman, the expression on their faces suddenly became ugly, and they surrounded them and shouted: "Leave, leave here immediately, you hurt the mountain god, you will be punished." ”

Yuan Zhen was surrounded by the villagers, sweat broke out on his forehead, and kept explaining, but no one believed it at all.

There was even an old man who picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Yuanzhen.

However, just as these old people were getting more and more excited, "Bang! A gunshot instantly quieted the surroundings.

I saw Zhao Ke come out of the grass shed with a shotgun, and an old man fell to the ground and was shot in the head by Zhao Ke.

The strong smell of blood spread in the air, and everyone looked at the corpse on the ground in a daze, only to see Zhao Ke raise the shotgun in his hand: "I'll count three times, get out immediately." ”

Seeing this, an old woman suddenly became anxious, stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhao Ke and scolded: "You ......"

She couldn't finish her words, "Bang! With a bang, Zhao Ke used a shotgun to block all her remaining words.

“1！”

Zhao Ke had a cold face, and pointed his shotgun at the rest of the people: "2"

"Run!"

was pointed at by a shotgun, and finally someone came back to their senses, and the two bloody corpses on the ground had already told them that the group of people in front of them was not a reasonable master.

Seeing the crowd disperse in a hurry, Zhao Ke put away the shotgun in his hand.

"You!"

Yuan Zhen was also a little stupid, he didn't expect Zhao Ke to suddenly start killing, glaring at Zhao politely speechless, and said in his heart: "How can such a demon get the treasure of the Buddha!" ”

But Zhao Ke doesn't care, human nature is always to deceive good and fear evil.

No one will be afraid of soft-hearted immortals, always feel that the immortals are protective of them, the more you reason with them, the more they will let you experience what it means to be a scoundrel.

Only when you show your fangs will they treat you as a true god.

Zhao Ke ignored Yuan Zhen's eyes, walked up to the old woman and said, "In your village, why are there only old people and young people?" Not even women and children?? ”

There were only old people in the village, and if it was because of the war, there shouldn't have been even a young child or a woman.

Zhao Ke noticed it before, and didn't think much about it, but just now he saw the old man and the old lady standing in front of him, and he thought of it.

"Mountain...... The mountain god said that there should be no young women and children in the village, and that they must be sent out immediately and not returned until a year later, otherwise whoever has a young woman or child will suffer. ”

The old lady was asked by Zhao Ke with a cold face, and she was so frightened that she was extremely cooperative, and told all the news that Zhao Ke wanted to know.

It turned out that just half a month ago, the villagers sent all the young children of the family out.

A kind-hearted daimyo was willing to help them, accept these children, and send them back in a good year, so now in the village, only these old, weak, sick and disabled are left.

"Stupid!"

Not to mention Zhao Ke, even Yuan Zhen could hear that there was something greasy in it, this matter couldn't withstand careful scrutiny at all, and how could the daimyo care about the life and death of these mountain villagers, and it took so much effort to transfer so many people out.

Yuan Zhen inquired, and it turned out that there was not only this village, but also young women and children from several surrounding villages who had been transferred.

"Where have they all been transferred?"

"East ...... To the east, I heard it's the Oda family! The old woman mentioned the Oda family.

Enjin couldn't help but think: "Oda Nobunaga! ”

Today's Oda family is in full swing, and the daimyo of various countries all know Oda Nobunaga, especially after helping Ashikaga Eteru to seize the position of the general, Oda Nobunaga is now even stronger to the extreme, and even part of the power of the shogunate is controlled by Oda Nobunaga.

"Could it be that the source of the disaster is the Oda family?"

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but think of what his teacher said, and the source of the chaos was in the east.

At the same time, Zhao Ke and Lu Hao also received a hint of the task.

【Side Quest: Find the Truth】

[Quest Hint: Find out the truth about the transfer of young men and women in the village.] 】

"I must find out about this matter."

Yuan Zhenyi gritted his teeth, this matter is related to the key to his trip out of the mountain this time, and he must be investigated clearly.

Zhao Ke originally didn't care about this side quest, but since Yuan Zhen was going, of course he would follow.

The two corpses outside were hastily cleaned up by Lu Hao, and as soon as the sky was bright, the three of them set off, and before leaving, they saw several elderly people in the village standing at the entrance of the village.

Yuan Zhen thought that these villagers would scold them again, and he was suddenly a little nervous.

Even thinking of the two lives last night, Yuan Zhen didn't even dare to look directly at these villagers.

However, unexpectedly, after these villagers saw Zhao Ke and the three of them, they actually knelt on the ground and sent a basket of eggs respectfully.

Especially the older old man, after seeing Zhao Ke, with a smile on his face, sent the eggs up, and apologized and bowed again and again.

This time Yuanzhen couldn't help but be a little blind, but Zhao Ke knew very well that this was the reality.

These villagers were worried that they would kill again, so they sent gifts, apologized and confessed their mistakes, hoping that Zhao Ke would not pursue them.

In the final analysis, there is no means of angry vajra, and the bodhisattvas from there are compassions.

Blindly reasoning doesn't make sense at all, these people have no boundaries between good and evil, only the size of a fist.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhen was a little silent all the way, obviously this incident had a great stimulus to him, and he couldn't figure out why those villagers were so afraid of Zhao Ke, and they would give gifts and send Zhao Ke away respectfully.

Until he entered Gifu Prefecture, which was controlled by the Oda family, Enzane didn't understand this.
