The little bamboo cat came to the yard with a small head and a jacket: "Childe, it's cold outside, don't freeze." ”

She padd her little feet and put the jacket on Zhuyan Jin with her own hands.

"Xiaozhu, I want to ask you something, how is the village chief?"

After a series of events, Zhu Yanjin gradually felt that there was something strange in the village, and it was rare to see young and strong men in the whole village.

In addition, Zhang Qi is the nephew of the village chief, who made waves in the village, and the village chief did not discipline him, but the villagers respected the village chief very much.

Something is wrong, it stands to reason that such a village chief has already caused public outrage.

"The village chief's grandfather is a good person, he never loses his temper, and every time he goes to Pingzhou City, he will bring us candy. ”

"Zhang Qi is in trouble, aren't you angry with the village chief?"

"The village chief's grandfather is a good person, he often reprimands Zhang Qi, and every New Year's holiday, he will pay for the whole village by himself, and every family has a share. ”

It turned out that he used money to buy people's hearts, and even the children were bought with candy, which was a bit interesting for the village chief.

Zhu Yanjin said lightly: "I have traveled all over the village, the villagers live by hunting, and they are not rich, why is the village chief's family the only one who has money to help you, where did his money come from?"

Although Xiaozhu is simple-minded, he can also hear the doubts about the character of the village chief in Zhuyan Jin's words.

She didn't want to see Zhu Yanjin questioning the village chief's personality, but she couldn't think of a reason to refute it, so she could only be in a hurry, and her face turned red.

Zhu Yanjin was angry and funny when he saw the little girl like this, he grabbed Xiaozhu and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I believe that the village chief is not a wicked person, it's cold outside, don't get frostbitten, let's go into the house." ”

Although he said so, Zhu Yanjin still doubted the village chief in his heart, and he had seen a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing.

That night, a dark shadow staggered into the village chief's house.

The village chief lit the candles, looked at Zhang Qi, who was scarred in front of him, and said in disgust: "I didn't do it, but I made myself like this, I didn't succeed enough, and I lost more than I did." ”

Zhang Qi was like a water dog, embarrassed, and sighed in a low voice: "Uncle, there is a reason for this miss, that son's identity is definitely not ordinary, he persuaded the horse bandit in a few words." ”

The village chief touched his beard, thought for a while, and said, "You say, who are the horse bandits most afraid of?"

"Of course it's a soldier, a few years ago, officers and soldiers came to the Northern Regions to suppress bandits several times. ”

The village chief continued: "Then, whose hands is the Pingzhou army in its hands. ”

"Believe in the King's Mansion. Zhang Qi blurted out, and then looked frightened, "Could it be that he is ......?"

"That's right, he's probably someone who believes in the palace. ”

Zhang Qi sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and in Pingzhou and the Northern Regions, there was a consensus that there was only one way to kill if he offended the Xinwang Mansion.

Suddenly, Zhang Qi sensed a murderous aura, and he looked up to see the village chief's expression indifferent, his eyes like torches.

Zhang Qi hurriedly stepped back, his heart was extremely cold, he understood that as long as he died, Xinwang Fujiu would not be able to trace the village chief, and behind his back, the things he did for the village chief would be buried forever.

Zhang Qi knew that he was not the opponent of the village chief, so he could only kneel and beg for mercy: "Uncle, spare my nephew's life, I did it alone, it has nothing to do with you, you can let me live." ”

The village chief's hand shrunk behind his back has begun to gather spiritual power, he knows very well that only by killing Zhang Qi can he truly be done once and for all, and keeping him will be a hidden disaster, and only the dead are the most worthy of trust.

Seeing that Zhang Qi was about to die at the hands of the village chief, a young man in his twenties walked out, he was Zhang Qian, the only son of the village chief.

The village elder came to have a son, and he was obedient and spoiled by this son.

Zhang Qian picked up Zhang Qi and said to the village chief: "Father, my cousin is my own family, and I have done so many things for the family, so you can give him a chance." ”

Zhang Qian knew what his father and Zhang Qi were doing behind his back very early, he had no friends since he was a child, and he only had fun with Zhang Qi's cousin, and he had a deep friendship.

"Qian'er, if you don't kill him, we'll be in trouble. ”

In the face of his son's dissuasion, the village chief did not waver in his determination to kill Zhang Qi.

"Father, great things are coming, with the help of my cousin, we can avoid a lot of trouble, besides, after the day after tomorrow, we can get a large sum of money, leave the Northern Regions together, go to other places in the Central Plains, and live again, no matter how powerful the Xinwang Mansion is, it is impossible to control the entire Central Plains. ”

"Yes, yes, let's change our identities and live a happy life. Zhang Qi echoed.

Zhang Qian continued: "As for that son, the child has a way, the day after tomorrow, borrow the hand of the great wizard and get rid of him, the great wizard is from the Western Regions, and he is not afraid to believe in the palace." ”

The village chief was silent for a while, very entangled in his heart, it would be dangerous to keep Zhang Qihui, but he was unwilling to refute his son's face, thinking about it carefully, what his son said did make some sense.

In the end, he compromised, nodded, and let Zhang Qi go.

The next day, the red-faced wizard came to the village, arranged tomorrow's rituals, and informed everyone in the village to come to the village chief's house to discuss matters, and by the way, to exorcise evil spirits for the village.

It is said that when the red-faced wizard first came to the village, he saved the village from a disaster, and since then, the villagers have revered the shaman, believing that the shaman is the messenger of the gods and can convey the instructions of the gods.

At noon, Zhu Yanjin followed Zhang Laoweng and Xiaozhu to the village chief's house.

The lobby was crowded with people, and the villagers were booing each other and chatting lively.

Zhu Yanjin saw Zhang Qi in the crowd at a glance.

Zhang Qi also saw Zhu Yanjin, and he glared at Zhu Yanjin fiercely, his eyes full of hatred.

Zhang Qi secretly said in his heart: Your death time has come, the archmage has agreed to get rid of you, the archmage is a master, and it will definitely be easy to clean up a down-and-out son.

Suddenly, the lobby fell silent, and the red-faced wizard and the village chief walked to the middle of the hall.

Everyone bowed down towards the red-faced wizard, and Zhu Yanjin had no choice but to kneel down and blend in with the crowd.

Then, the red-faced wizard waved a few colored flags, chanting words in his mouth, and for a while the cold wind gusted.

The villagers all knelt reverently, not daring to make a sound, and waited quietly for the great wizard to cast a spell.

In a few moments, the snow on the ground drifted, and the snowflakes gradually gathered around the red-faced wizard, hovering around him, and disappearing into the sky.

Zhuyan Jin looked at it in surprise, he felt the spiritual power released by the red-faced wizard, and there was a strong evil aura, which evil sect was this expulsion, he himself was the biggest evil.

Zhu Yanjin turned his eyes and saw Zhang Qi on the other side with a smug expression, and there was a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

After a while, the red-faced wizard finished his exorcism, put away the bunting, and then he took out a cyan jar and placed it in the hall.

When the villagers looked up, they panicked, and saw that the jar was crawling with all kinds of poisonous snakes, which were entwined together, and spit red letters from their mouths.

The red-faced wizard recited a few more incantations, and then said, "This is the altar of communication with the gods, and according to the guidance of the gods, I will pick one of you and put your hand into the altar to accept the will of the gods." ”

After speaking, there was a sigh below, and the villagers knew that if they put their hands into the jar, they would definitely die, but because of the authority of the red-faced wizard, no one dared to raise objections.

Everyone held their breath as they waited for the wizard to announce their choice.

The red-faced wizard looked at Zhu Yan Jin with bad intentions, and with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Yan Jin.

"That's him. ”

Zhuyan Jin was stunned, and immediately realized that this was a trap, thinking of Zhang Qi's expression before, it must be Zhang Qi and the wizard who wanted to put themselves to death.

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they didn't choose themselves, and then they sympathized with Zhu Yanjin, remembering Zhu Yanjin's heroic appearance when he scared Zhang Qi away a few days ago, everyone only felt sorry in their hearts, but no one dared to go against the will of the wizard.

Only Xiaozhu jumped out and complained for Zhuyan Jin: "No, there are poisonous snakes here, and Gongzi will die." ”

Xiaozhu grabbed Zhu Yanjin's hand, and just wanted to pull Zhu Yanjin out of here. After getting along well for the past few days, she knew that Childe was a good person and a good person to her, and she didn't want to see Childe get hurt.

At this time, Zhang Qiyi tore Xiaozhu's hand away and sneered: "This is the will of the gods, do you want to disobey it, it will bring bad luck to the village." ”

As soon as Zhang Qi said this, even if the villagers sympathized with Zhu Yanjin, they didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Qi is very proud, he has suffered a lot of sins because of Zhuyan Jin, and now he can finally take revenge, he now wants to see Zhuyan Jin kneeling and begging for mercy.

However, Zhu Yanjin's expression was calm, without a trace of panic, and he comforted Xiaozhu a few words: "Don't worry, isn't it just a jar, I'll be back in a while." ”

Zhang Qi couldn't hold back his laughter, he thought that Zhu Yanjin was scared stupid, and put his hand into the jar full of poisonous snakes, and actually wanted to come back alive.

Xiaozhu cried wowly, crying very hurtfully, like parting from life and death.

The villagers are all feeling sorry for Zhuyan Jin, and the atmosphere is depressing.

Zhu Yanjin walked towards the altar step by step, he was actually very relaxed, he didn't worry about it at all, he was immortal, and he could live well if his head fell off, how could he be afraid of this snake venom?

Zhu Yanjin plunged directly into the jar with one hand, and his expression on his face changed.

Seeing this scene, the village chief, who had been pretending to be calm, finally showed his joy and was done.

Zhang Qi and the red-faced wizard sneered on the side, but they laughed and laughed, and gradually froze.

It stands to reason that it is time for the snake venom to attack, but Zhu Yanjin has no signs of poisoning.

The Great Wizard hurriedly pulled out Zhu Yanjin's hand, and saw that there were several snake bite marks on his hand, and then he looked at the snakes in the jar, nothing was wrong, but why wasn't he poisoned?

The wizard and Zhang Qi stared at each other, and they were overjoyed.

The villagers also looked incredulous, looking at Zhuyan Jin like a god, this person who can be unscathed must be a celestial.

Xiaozhu didn't even have time to wipe away his tears, so he cried out happily: "I know that Gongzi is not an ordinary person, you see, he is really ......"

Seeing this, the village chief returned to his peaceful appearance, he walked up, first complimented Zhu Yanjin a few words, and then said:

"God is merciful, he will not take people's lives for no reason, and if the son can be safe and sound, it must be the favor of God and the wizard. ”
