After the rectification was completed, Du Sheng arranged for Liuliyue and others to sit in the same carriage with him. It's just that Fear Tooth can't stand the pain of the loss of demonic power, and he doesn't want to get close to him, so he simply sits outside the carriage with the wind on the grounds that the master and servant have other reasons.

The convoy continued to hurry, heading in the direction of Gumu Village.

Along the way, the two people sitting in the carriage kept their distance, and they never communicated with each other, let alone dared to look at each other, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

I don't know how long she walked, but Liuliyue felt a little bored, so she opened the curtain and enjoyed the night view outside from the window.

Looking at it, she couldn't help but think of the matter of the Xuankong Spirit Bead, and remembered that the elder had reminded her...

"As long as you have this Xuankong Spirit Bead, Yue'er doesn't have to live like an ant."

No matter what she thought, she couldn't remember who the elder was, and she couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman.

She decided not to delve into the identity of that elder, and only wanted to investigate the matter of the Xuankong Spirit Bead.

"Tonight's night doesn't seem to be as beautiful as ever." Liuliyue inadvertently muttered to herself.

Du Sheng faintly heard Liuliyue's words, thinking that she was still in the grief of her companion's murder, so he whispered: "Whether the night scene is beautiful or not is determined by the heart, but the number of people's lives and deaths is predestined. ”

Liuliyue turned her head and looked at Du Sheng's side face reflected by the lights outside the window, cold as frost, handsome and outstanding, and full of energy.

"Du Gongzi's words are like drinking." Liuliyue smiled at Du Sheng again.

Sitting outside the carriage, the Tooth of Fear has been paying attention to the wind and other soldiers on the road. He panicked for a while, and simply lured Suifeng to chat with him.

"Seeing that you are all wearing red armor, you must be not an ordinary family."

Hearing the sound with the wind, he looked at the Dreadtooth, his eyes were full of murderous aura, as if the Dread Tooth had said something he didn't like to hear.

But the tooth was not afraid of him, and his face looked triumphant.

Sui Feng thought about it, and didn't intend to deal with the ignorant people like the Fear Tooth, so he replied: "The Red Armor Army is a subordinate of the current Holy Lord's brother King Ling, helping my son-in-law investigate the case. ”

"Investigating the case? What kind of case is being investigated? Fear Tooth was a little excited, as if he had heard something new, and hurriedly asked.

With a serious face and an attitude of reluctance to say more, Sui Feng said: "This little brother is too curious, and it is easy to set himself on fire. ”

Afraid of the tooth, he felt that it was too boring, so he stopped hooking up with the wind, sat next to the carriage by himself, and fell asleep unconsciously.

It was about an hour later...

From the window, Liuli Yue vaguely saw that the village in front of her was cast an enchantment, this enchantment was not very powerful, it could only block the invasion of lower-level demons, and demons like her and Dreadtooth, who had a thousand-year-old path, wanted to pass through this enchantment, it was simply easy.

The convoy stopped outside the village, only to see a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, which was rightly engraved with the three red characters of "Baimu Village".

Those who came to greet them were the village chief of Baimu Village and a group of villagers.

The curtain was lifted with the wind, and Du Sheng, Liuliyue and others were allowed to get out of the carriage.

As soon as the village chief saw Du Sheng, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Presumably, Your Excellency is King Ling's confidant-Lord Du, right? The grass people have lost their welcome, and I hope you will forgive me. The village chief bent slightly, bowed his head, and was very respectful.

Hearing the title of "Lord Du", Liuliyue couldn't help but widen her eyes and re-examine Du Sheng.

"Now that the situation is serious, the village chief doesn't have to be formal, and the official just wants to have a good talk with the village chief at the moment."

Du Sheng changed his demeanor when he was slaying demons and demons, and now he has a serious and fair appearance, and he does have a bit of the momentum of being an official.

"Okay, please come with the grass people."

After only a few steps, Du Sheng suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Liuliyue who was standing in place.

"By the way, the official wants the village chief to arrange two rooms for this young lady and her entourage, I wonder if it will be troublesome?"

As soon as the words fell, the village chief looked at Liuliyue, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly: "It's not troublesome!" No hassle! ”

At this time, the villagers also noticed Liuliyue's appearance and discussed it in private.

Her face reminded everyone of Qin Rui, who was executed by them today, they really looked too similar, which made those villagers tremble, thinking that Qin Rui had really come back to take revenge.

Liuliyue walked uprightly, secretly carefully considering everyone's reaction to seeing her, seemingly nothing on the surface, but very happy in the heart.

She was taken to an empty house by the villagers, and after everything was settled, she saw that the villagers did not say much and left in a hurry, not daring to look at her at all.

Fear Tooth closed the door and stood by the window to observe, until all the villagers standing outside the house had dispersed, and then he let down his guard and returned to Liuliyue's side.

Liuliyue walked around the house, looking at the dilapidated and dirty house, remembering that when she was still Qin Rui, she grew up in this environment.

"The hosts! Why do you have to follow the guy surnamed Du? ”

She looked at the angry expression on her face, sat down on the bench, gently picked up the teapot, and poured tea into the cup.

"It's pitch black in the jungle, if you and I are on foot together, it's really unreasonable, the guy surnamed Du will definitely be suspicious of us and send someone to follow us, so it's better to follow his wishes and let him lower his guard."

"Fear Tooth knows that the master has just recovered his demonic power, and his body cannot be parallel for a while, so it is not appropriate to use demonic power. But the one surnamed Du, the power contained in his body is really weird, and we have been following him, I am afraid it will be harmful and unprofitable. ”

Fear of teeth looked worried, for fear that Liuliyue's body would be affected by Du Sheng.

Liuliyue couldn't help but smile when she looked at her fearful teeth like ants on a hot pot.

"Although he has the power to suck away demonic power, that power is not enough to absorb all my demonic power." As she spoke, she stroked her chest, closed her eyes, and felt the flow of demonic power in her body.

"Maybe you don't believe it, every time he sucks my demonic power, I feel that the demonic power in my body becomes more and more peaceful. I think... in less than three days, my demonic power will be completely stable and restored to its original state. ”

"Really?" Fear Tooth felt incredulous at what Liuliyue said, "But when my demon power was sucked away by him, I only felt very uncomfortable, and my mood would be inexplicably impetuous." ”

Liuliyue looked at the distorted expression of the frightened teeth and couldn't help laughing.

But she knew in her heart that although Tooth Fears and herself were both demons, they were different in blood.

Maybe it's because half of her body is related to the blood of the human race, and even because she is not as painful as Du Sheng when she sucks the demonic power like the other demons.

＊

The village chief took Du Sheng to his home to discuss matters, while Sui Feng and the rest of the Red Armor stood outside the door, forbidding anyone to disturb him.

The villagers did not dare to approach, so they could only stand from a distance and watch, chatting with each other about the situation inside the house.

The village chief poured a cup of hot tea for Du Sheng, and no matter how noisy it was outside, it didn't seem to affect Du Sheng's mood at all.

"Today, King Ling sent the disciples of the Qiankun Wheel for my village to quell this disaster, I am really grateful, please return to the city and thank King Ling on behalf of the grass people." The village chief suddenly knelt on the ground and thanked him.

However, Du Sheng was unmoved, treated him coldly, and said: "Killing demons and eliminating demons is the duty of the Qiankun Wheel. ”

In the face of Du Sheng's indifferent attitude, the village chief was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart and did not dare to speak more, so he had to kneel all the time.

Du Sheng picked up the teacup and gently blew a few breaths into the hot tea in the cup.

"Village Chief, do you have any thoughts on this demon raid?" Du Sheng's eyes did not look at the village chief, only at the tea in the cup.

Hearing Du Sheng's question, the village chief hurriedly raised his head.

"Back to my lord, at noon today, the grass people have already burned the suspect Qin at the stake, and my lord doesn't have to worry about this village anymore."

The village chief said with a smile, as if he didn't notice the blue muscles on Du Sheng's face, and he was angry.

He frowned, pinched the cup in his hand hard, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, he directly "slammed" the cup and threw it to the ground, splashing tea and splinters all over the ground.

"What a guts!"

Du Sheng stood up angrily and angrily reprimanded the village chief for what he had done.

He had always hated the customs of the wild villages, especially the cruel and inappropriate torture, and simply flouted the imperial law. For many years, many unjust cases in many places have been caused by those customary tortures, and the truth will never surface.

"I beg you to calm your anger!"

The village chief never thought that this incident would provoke Du Sheng so angry, and once Du Sheng blamed him, the whole village would suffer.

He didn't dare to think about it, so he could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy, hoping that Du Sheng would be able to get off lightly.

It's just that Du Sheng kept glaring at him angrily and didn't say anything, as if waiting for him to justify himself.

"The grass people didn't want to burn at the stake, but the villagers didn't want to stop until the woman died..."

Du Sheng listened to the village chief's words, and he was even more angry, he suppressed his anger and sat back on the bench.

"The implication is that the village chief is old and no longer capable of controlling these mobs in the village?"

When the village chief heard this, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, only to see that he was panicked and speechless, afraid that he would say too many mistakes.

Du Sheng looked at the trembling body of the village chief, and couldn't help laughing softly: "You fools, you sacrifice a life so easily, you are no different from a murderer. ”

Du Sheng deliberately put down his cruel words, a sharp gaze flashed in his eyes, and he carefully observed the changes in the village chief's face.

"Not exactly! My lord! The village chief wants to rehabilitate his village, "That woman, during the period when the demons entered the village, she had never been attacked by demons, and those demons didn't even look at her, but only chased and beat other villagers, which inevitably made people suspicious!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Sheng's anger had subsided by half, but the woman in the village chief's mouth always made him feel suspicious.

"Where did that woman come from?"

"Lord Hui, the woman's name was given by the grass people, and her name is Qin Rui." The village chief stopped talking.

"Sixteen years ago in the middle of summer, when Qin Rui was just a baby, she was put in a rattan basket, I don't know how many days she drifted in the Styx River before she came to Gumu Village, at that time I had no children and no daughters under my knees, and the grass people and their deceased wives planned to raise her to this day."
