Chapter 23: Crowning
Just when Xi Xuyun and the others rushed to arrive, the door of Xi Xushui's house was knocked open.
The visitor said, "Patriarch, tell the cow to let me inform you, the redwood forest has dug up the corpse." ”
Xi Xue Shui chuckled, but he couldn't react.
Someone else came along the root of the wall and whispered, "Patriarch, the old man of the Xulan tribe said that there is a corpse in the hunter's house. ”
His complexion suddenly changed, and he laughed and called out to Xi Qiongdong, "Grandson, go and call all of our people, and let's go to the redwood forest to see what's going on!"
Xi Qiongdong was completely sleepy, and his legs were weak, "Master, grandpa, what ...... Discovered?"
"What are you afraid of! Look at how many clan elders have sent people to report to me tonight, Xijia Village will be in our hands!"
Xi Xushui and his group caught up with Xi Zhaoyun and exclaimed urgently, "Where are you going so late, when the ban on the mountain is not a decoration?"
When Xi Xuyun saw them, he frowned slightly, but he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to say truthfully, "There are corpses in the redwood forest, and the truth is still uncertain, so I didn't disturb the patriarch to rest." ”
"This is a big deal, you seven or eight people dare to go?" he pointed to Xi Cangping, "If you don't call me, you have to bring the martial artist with you, just that, since we are here, let's go together." ”
Xi Cangping, Xi Canglie, Xi Cangsheng, Xi Qiongdong, Xi Qiongwan, Xi Qiongzhong, and more than a dozen clansmen who were close to Xi Qiongshui were all behind him.
Xi Xuyun glanced at the clan elders beside him and nodded, "Then let's go together." ”
When everyone arrived at the hunter's house, they carried out all the corpses and put them outside the hut, in the face of so many corpses, no one could keep calm, Xi Xuyun checked the clothes on their bodies, basically confirmed their identities, and angrily pointed at Xi Xushui, "Didn't you say that people were burned at the bottom of the cliff through the wind, what is going on!"
"Sue Yun, don't get excited. Xi Xushui sighed, "I didn't expect them to be dug up." ”
A clan elder named Xi Cangqing shouted sternly, "You owe us an explanation!"
Xi Xulan and Xi Xuniu remained silent, not saying anything, although they were close to Xi Xushui, they also wanted to know what it was, these were their clansmen!
Xi Xushui said with a helpless look, "In this matter, several of our survivors did lie, at that time, there were actually twenty-eight people who came out of the bottom of the cliff through the wind, including the seriously injured Gu Jianxuan, but the road encountered heavy rain, we could only go to this house to take refuge, but we didn't want to wake up overnight, except for the seven of us, everyone else died violently." ”
Xi Cangsheng helped, "Do you remember my dead daughter Xiaohua, they died like Xiaohua." ”
Several clan elders were a little panicked, and when Gu Jianxuan was alive, he said that in addition to the cannibal demon near the village, there was also a kind of cannibal soul demon.
"You should understand what I mean, this is exactly what the Soul Eater has done, and I concealed it for fear of causing panic. "Think about it, have I been persuading you to move to your village and look for a place to settle outside in order to avoid disaster?" ”
Shen Yangqing questioned, "If you want to avoid trouble, you should tell the truth, I think you just need to say that they were all harmed by that terrifying demon, and the village has already moved out." ”
Xi Xushui said like a scoundrel, "I said that it would cause panic, and it was enough for me to know about this with the martial artists in the village, the spiritual sensers, and a few strong people, of course, I didn't plan to keep it a secret." ”
"That's right, as early as after the end of the demon eradication operation, Grandpa ordered Uncle Cangsheng to secretly go outside to find a new address to build a village. Xi Qiongdong was filled with righteous indignation, "I didn't tell you, it was a process that saved you from being afraid!"
Cangsheng, Qiongwan, and Qiongzhong are close relatives of his family, and after that night, they completely surrendered to the blueprint of Xi Xushui's "family world", and when Xi Qiongdong's words fell, they echoed each other.
Xi Cangping and Xi Canglie, who were also left behind, had unnatural expressions, but when Xi Xuyun's gaze swept over, they nodded stupidly.
Xi Xushui exuded the coercion of a one-star source master at the right time, "Don't you believe me?"
"The concerns about the water are justified. Xi Xulan slowly helped, "We know that we are in a hurry, it is better to wait for him to arrange the back road." ”
Some of the clan elders were silent, some were supportive, but no one questioned them anymore.
Xi Xuyun returned home and told Xuan Xun everything she had experienced, and at the end, she hesitated and asked, "Father, has this matter been revealed?"
Oath Xun coughed again and again, and muddy tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, "What if you don't believe what they say, what is the fact, many people affirm it, no one objects, it is the truth, bury the person well." ”
Shen Yangqing also brought the news to Xi Huanyan on the bank of the river, she herself had a trace of suspicion of Xi Xushui's statement, but she couldn't say what he was wrong, most of the villagers knew that Xi Cangping and Xi Canglie were a little unconvinced by Xi Xushui, and they couldn't help Xi Zhaoshui deceive people in this kind of right and wrong.
"Huan Yan, the matter has been clarified, your mother and those villagers were harmed by spirit-eating demons, and the village chief and several people temporarily concealed the truth in order not to cause panic. ”
Shen Yangqing saw that she didn't speak, and said, "I heard that the new village address has been found, and presumably the village will be relocated soon, what are you going to do?"
Xi Huanyan hugged the small ceramic jar in his arms and asked rhetorically, "What about the second aunt?"
"I want to go and see somewhere else. Shen Yangqing didn't hide her thoughts, generally Star Splitters like to travel around, unless they live in a particularly closed place or are bound by some rules, and now that she has just ended a relationship, it is the time to be free, how can she stay in the village again.
In fact, a closed village like Xijia Village is quite rare, almost no one in Xijia Village will leave the village and go alone, she can't take Xi Cangjin away, so she has to come in to live, but she didn't join the family tree and condemned herself to death in this place.
"How about you walking with me. Shen Yangqing knew that she was learning art from Mrs. Swearing, and she also wanted to send her up the mountain, but she was worried that Mrs. Swear Yan was too old to grow up with her.
"Second aunt don't worry about me, I will go back to the mountain to learn my skills. ”
“...... It's good. "Mrs. Swear Yan not only has a craftsman's craft, but also a three-star source teacher, if you can learn from her, it is better than following yourself around.
Shen Yangqing said, "I'll send you up the mountain, I'll come back to see you when I'm free in the future." ”
Xi Huanyan nodded.
The sharp-bladed wooden stakes on Lingling Mountain were gone, and she took the black dog halfway up the mountain, and a little further up was the floor in front of the cave.
"Then I'm leaving. Shen Yangqing turned back step by step, and finally came back to tell her a lot of common sense of life.
After Xi Huanyan sent her down the mountain, she followed Mrs. Yan to learn the Moheng Method as usual.
It wasn't until the evening of the third day that she packed up and went out of the cave.
Xi Huanyan. ”
She turned around and saw the old lady and the tiger watching her from the mouth of the cave.
