Chapter 22: The Black Shroud

It can be seen that Xiaolu's emotions are very entangled, he seems to be afraid, but he feels relieved because of Mo Ranchen's existence, so it is not so much that he is warning me not to go to that village, but it is better to say that in fact, he has wanted to go for a long time, but he has never had the courage.

"That ......" I hesitated a little, turned to look at Mo Ranchen, and said, "That village is indeed my destination, but Kong Xian is not here, it is useless for me to go, let's find him first." ”

After listening to me, I didn't expect Xiaolu's face to be a little unhappy, he shrank in Mo Ranchen's arms, and muttered in a low voice: "Why do you have to look for him?" ”

Mo Ranchen was a little dazed by what I said, looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "Who?" ”

I was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain it......

Well, it took a long time to reply: "I...... I mean Master Kim. ”

"Master Jin?" Mo Ranchen didn't delve into it, and said to himself: "It turns out that the person before was really Jin Ye." ”

"Did you see him?" I asked excitedly.

Mo Ranchen nodded, then frowned and said worriedly, "He was taken away by some foreigners." ”

I was shocked, my heart was not good, those foreigners looked like outlaws, Kong Xian fell into their hands, isn't it more auspicious? The point is, that bastard owes his life again, and his virtue of never bowing his head will definitely suffer!

"Don't worry." Mo Ranchen persuaded: "I'll go up and look for it, you and Xu will stay here, don't go out if I don't come back." ”

I know that Mo Ranchen is a good hand at finding people, and most of the villagers were found by him when they fell and collapsed before, and if I really went out, I wouldn't be able to help, and maybe I lost myself in the end. nodded to Mo Ranchen and agreed to let him find it.

After Mo Ranchen went out from the opening above, he covered the slate back.

There were still so many things I didn't understand, and I didn't have much to do now, so I pulled the fawn and asked him, "How did you climb out of that water storage well before?" ”

Xiaolu didn't answer my question directly, but looked at me, and after a long time, suddenly said with a gloomy face: "Don't believe Kong Xian too much, he is a demon!" He's the mountain ghost who can call the wind and rain! ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I was amused by him, I didn't expect this kid to hold such a grudge.

"Why are you so afraid of him?" I whispered, "He's not as scary as you think, he's just as defensive as you, aren't you still pretending to be dumb and deceiving us?" I said, reaching out and touching the fawn's hair.

Xiaolu was anxious all of a sudden, took my hand and said excitedly: "No, you don't know him at all." ”

I laughed in my heart and said secretly: I am afraid that no one in this world knows him better than me.

However, seeing the deer's nervous appearance, I really wanted to hear his reasons, so I pretended to be serious and said, "You know him? Let's talk about it. ”

Xiaolu didn't realize my banter, his eyes revealed a touch of horror, and he whispered: "Don't look at those soul devourers wandering around like lonely souls and wild ghosts, in fact, they have owners, and that person is Kong Xian!" ”

I felt incredible, and I felt that Xiaolu didn't need to make up a story to slander Kong Xian, so I let him continue to talk.

"I've seen him summon those Soul Eaters, and use them to kill a lot of people who come here, and it's pretty horrible. Not only that, but I also saw him digging wild graves in the mountains. Those Soul Eaters would never attack the living when they weren't frightened, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have lived here at all. The more the fawn spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes were full of horror.

I felt that he was lying to me, but I couldn't find any flaws, so I turned to him and asked, "Then Mo Ranchen went up to find Kong Xian, aren't you worried?" ”

"Brother Chen, it doesn't matter." Xiaolu said, the fear on his face gradually disappeared, and a look of worship appeared, "Brother Chen is so powerful, there must be no problem." ”

I really didn't expect that this fawn still has such a girlish heart, and looking at his innocent appearance, I can't doubt what he said at all. So, since Xiaolu didn't lie, what happened to Kong Xian? Could it be that he still practiced the doppelganger technique behind my back? Or is it ...... He's been lying to me all the time.

After pondering for a while, I didn't have a clue, and asked Xiaolu again: "When did Mo Ranchen come over?" ”

"Just now." The fawn replied, "Just as I was taking you to find a way in the grass and forest, I saw Brother Chen, so I rushed over. ”

"That's what you were here for, not trying to get rid of us?" I asked.

The fawn shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Not all, this thatched forest is the best place for me to get out." I'm sorry for the ...... of Muyu But if it were just you, I wouldn't have run away. ”

I believe him when he says this, if it weren't for Kong Xian, Xiaolu wouldn't have any fear of me, and maybe he wouldn't have pretended to be dumb.

Thinking of Kong Xian's uncertain life and death now, I couldn't help but shake my head and muttered, "When can I save some heart." Then I remembered when I entered the second half of the valley before, so I asked the fawn: "Why didn't you let us go to the second half of the valley before, because there were corpses piled up there?" ”

As soon as I asked, I obviously saw a flash of coldness in the fawn's eyes, he lowered his eyes, and didn't dare to look at my eyes again, but explained in a whisper: "Actually, I ...... I've seen the foreigners with guns for a long time, so I don't want to go any further. ”

"However, you wanted Kong Xian to die, so you didn't stop him when he said he was going, did you?" I didn't blame the fawn, but there was a helpless guess in my tone.

He stared at me for a long time before nodding.

"Fawn, huh...... I should call you Nangong Xu. I said, "You're not a local, why are you here?" ”

"You can call me a fawn, but I can't tell you why I'm here." After the fawn finished speaking, it was obvious that he did not want to answer my question again, and he ran to lie down in the haystack, as if he was about to take a nap.

All of a sudden, it was quiet, and I felt a little bored. It's not the same thing to wait like this, so I said to the fawn, "I'll go to the house above and admire your masterpiece." ”

The fawn snorted, but didn't say anything, so I lifted the stone slab and climbed up by myself. This stone board is not light, I used to see Mo Ranchen as if I lifted plastic wrap, but when I came to myself, not only did I waste a little strength, but I almost lost my hand and turned into a slate buckle meat.

Xiaolu's small house is only about six or seven square meters, but it is difficult for Xiaolu and Wang Wei to build it.

It was still very quiet outside, except for the various grinding sounds of the grass and the woods.

"Knock Knock ......"

At this moment, suddenly there were two sounds of wood crashing.

I was startled, and I listened closely, but there was no ......

The sound of wood crashing? When I thought about it, there were no trees in this area, and the only thing with wood was the wooden house next to me. But in this wooden house, is there still anyone who can't do it?

There is a small window next to me, so you can look inside, but the location is a bit high. According to my height with legs from the neck down, I need to pad 20 centimeters to pick it up.

After looking around for a week, I felt a little more proud of my character. I saw that less than ten meters away from me, there was an abandoned wooden stake, which was erected just over 20 centimeters. I quickly picked it up and stepped on it to look out the window.

The sight inside is not good, this small window is not as big as Liu Yang's, and I can only vaguely see some things inside. At first, I saw only a bed and a rudimentary cupboard, and then I noticed a black figure in front of the desk. He was dressed in black, and at first glance it looked like a dead man's shroud. He was lying on his desk, seemingly asleep.

After my eyes gradually adjusted to the light, I found that this black figure, how familiar it looked, and then pondered carefully, isn't this Kong Xian?

…… Mo Ranchen risked his life to find him, I was so anxious, but he was sleeping on his stomach here? How? He's too sleepy.

I walked around to the main entrance, trying to go in and wake him up and ask what was going on. But as soon as I put this hand on the doorknob, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and a picture flashed through my mind.

At that time, Kong Xian and I quarreled and got separated in the woods full of tree people, and at that time I also saw a person who was very similar to Kong Xian's back, but the clothes were different. But that person, the man I see now lying on the table, is dressed in similar clothes, all loose styles, a bit like the tunic of the time. It's just that the person was too far away from me before, and I couldn't see it very clearly, but now I see that this person is wearing more like the shroud of the dead at the funeral.

I took two deep breaths, gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, ready to go in and have a look. So I prepared myself to defend and escape, and slowly unscrewed the door open......

The door was not locked, and the door shaft had not been oiled for a long time, and it squeaked when it turned, and even my heart followed it. All sorts of possible things ran through my mind.

Xu was the sound of the door shaft that disturbed the man, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw him sitting up and looking at me in a daze.

However, I froze at this look, and when I saw his face, my heart twitched, it was really ...... Kong Xian......

"What's your situation?" I frowned, looked at his clothes with disgust, and asked, "Where did you get the clothes?" Mo Ranchen also went out to look for you. ”

However, the strange thing is that he looked at me with a very strange look, and he didn't reply after listening to me, staring at me for a long time before he said indifferently: "I've always been here." ”

"Pull it down, I didn't even see anyone here when I came here." I was a little irritable, and I was vaguely uneasy.

"......" He kept staring at me without saying a word.

The more I look at it, the more wrong it becomes, when did this Kong Immortal become so quiet, and the whole aura is different. I said in my heart, "You can't fall for evil, do you?" He also wears the clothes of the dead.

"Kong Xian......" I asked him tentatively and softly, "Do you know who I am?" ”
