The sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, and the autumn wind is blowing, although it carries a lot of chill, but it is all refreshing.

Chen Fan, Luo Qingyun, and Yue Wuya walked in the forest, the gentle sunlight shone on the leaves, the translucent leaves reflected a charming luster, and the autumn breeze flickered on the leaves, just like elves.

"Chen Fan!" Luo Qingyun bent over, put on a tired look, and complained: "We've been walking for five days, haven't we arrived in Mada Town yet?"

Chen Fan raised his eyes and looked forward, and said, "At our current speed, we should have to walk for another two days!"

"Two days!" Luo Qingyun exclaimed loudly, "I have to go for two more days, isn't it, why don't we rest here first?"

"Not good!" Chen Fan replied very resolutely.

Luo Qingyun pouted dissatisfiedly, thinking: You are simply in a hurry to reincarnate!

At this moment, it is already evening, because of autumn, the night has fallen on the earth, and the wind in the evening is even colder than in the morning, although it is not big, but it makes people's goosebumps stand up.

At night, the mountain is even more frightening, the surroundings seem to be silent, a breeze blows, the rustle of leaves is very harsh, people walking on the mountain must maintain a high degree of alarm, the slightest wind and grass will feel that the grass and trees are soldiers.

In fact, the most uncomfortable thing about walking on mountain roads at night may not only be the ruggedness of the mountain roads or the attacks of fierce beasts, but also mental torture.

Chen Fan and the three of them were advancing in the dark on the mountain, and Luo Qingyun said: "Chen Fan, I don't think it's good to walk the mountain road at night, why don't we rest here tonight!"

"No!" Chen Fan refused sharply: "Because of you today, we have been delayed for a lot of time, and it is not yet dark, so we will continue to finish today's road." ”

The men walked for about two more hours, waiting until it was completely dark.

The mountain road at night was really not easy to walk, Luo Qingyun stumbled all the way forward in the dark, although there was Chen Fan's fire, it was still necessary to take it step by step.

At this moment, Luo Qingyun pointed ahead and shouted, "Chen Fan, look ahead!"

Chen Fan looked forward and said in surprise, "That's the village?"

"Chen Fan, let's go and stay overnight, great, we don't have to sleep in the barren mountain tonight!"

Just as Luo Qingyun was happily trying to sprint forward, Chen Fan suddenly shouted, "Qingyun, wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong again?" Luo Qingyun walked on the mountain road for a day, his feet were already so painful that he couldn't walk, and finally saw a village, of course, he wanted to rush over immediately, but Chen Fan stopped himself, and a feeling of depression in his heart naturally arose.

"Qingyun, don't you think it's strange? There are actually people living in the barren mountains and mountains here!"

"Strange, what's so strange about this?" Luo Qingyun replied as a matter of course: "There are people living in such a dangerous place as Wuyun Gorge, and a place like this that is far away from the hustle and bustle is popular!"

Yue Wuya also followed alongside and said, "Brother Chen, I don't think there will be any problems here. ”

Seeing that both of them said this, Chen Fan smiled bitterly and walked straight towards the village, and Yue Wuya and Luo Qingyun also tried their best to follow.

The village is not very large, there are only a dozen or so households, and although there is not a single person to be seen on the street, each one has a light that is clearly inhabited.

Chen Fan looked around, his expression a little serious.

"Chen Fan, what are you still watching, let's hurry up and ask the family if they can give us a night!"

Just when Chen Fan wanted to say something, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind the three of them: "Oh! You are outsiders?"

Chen Fan, Yue Wuya, and Luo Qingyun immediately turned their heads, only to see an old man in coarse linen clothes appearing in front of the three of them on crutches.

"Yes, my name is Luo Qingyun, his name is Chen Fan, and we are all outsiders. Luo Qingyun replied politely, "May I ask who you are?"

"I just came back from the mountains and saw the two of you standing here, so I came to say hello, by the way, I also forgot to introduce myself, I am the head of this village, my name is Mark. ”

"You're the village chief, that's great!" Luo Qingyun said in that thankful tone: "Here's the thing, we are going on a long journey, walking a day's mountain road, passing by your land, hoping that the village chief can take us in and stay here for a night." ”

"Hehe! It turns out that you are travelers, and no one has been here for a long time. Mark laughed: "Little girl don't have to be polite, go out to rely on friends, see that you are not bad people, stay at my house tonight!"

Luo Qingyun thanked excitedly: "Really, that's great, I'm here to thank the old man in advance." ”

"Come with me, my home is very close to here. With that, Mark led the two of them around two corners and came to a very ordinary-looking wooden house.

Although this wooden house is ordinary, it does not look dilapidated at all, and it can be described as "new".

"Uncle, is this your home?"

"Hehe, yes!" the old man smiled: "Come, let's go in quickly!"

Under the leadership of the old man, Chen Fan and the three walked into the wooden house.

The wooden house is very small, the structure inside is also very simple, as soon as you enter the door, you see a small lobby, the furnishings inside are also very ordinary, there is a table in the middle, next to the table are two chairs, there is an axe hanging on the wall in the center, the axe is not sharp, obviously just a decoration that has not yet been opened, there are two rooms on both sides of the lobby, the door is closed.

Luo Qingyun asked, "Uncle, are you not the only one living here?"

"No, I'm the only one living here. ”

"Why are there two rooms?"

"Actually, I have a son and a wife, but the son came down a few years ago and has not been heard from until now, and his wife died the previous year. ”

"Uncle, I'm sorry. ”

"Alright!" the old man pointed to the room on the right, "That room was originally occupied by my son, so you can sleep there tonight!"

"Okay!"

Just as the two approached the room, Old Mark suddenly exclaimed, "That's right!"

"What's the matter?" Luo Qingyun was very polite, because the old man invited him to live at home, which made Luo Qingyun very grateful to the old man.

"Haven't you had dinner yet?"

Luo Qingyun touched his stomach and said, "In this way, we really haven't eaten it." ”

"Then have dinner at my place tonight, you wait in the room, I'll deliver it shortly." ”

"No, no need!" Luo Qingyun shook his head and said, "We have our own dry food, so you don't have to bother." ”

"No, you are guests, how can you be lazy, you wait in the room, I will be here soon. ”

"It's better to be respectful. Luo Qingyun was also embarrassed to refuse, and walked into the room with Chen Fan and Yue Wuya.

Luo Qingyun closed the door and said to Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, why didn't you say a word?"

"What is there to say?"

"Chen Fan, don't you think it's a little strange?"

"Do you feel it too?" Chen Fan squinted at Luo Qingyun and said, "I thought you stupid person was talking to others endlessly, and you didn't feel anything!"

"How is it possible, there are so many incongruous places in this village, you can tell that there are strange things at a glance. ”

"Okay, tell me what's weird?"

Luo Qingyun replied: "First of all, this village is too quiet, as soon as we enter the village, although there are indeed lights in every room, we can't even hear a single human voice. ”

"Hmm!" Chen Fan nodded.

"Second, this old man who claims to be the village chief has just said that he has come back from the mountain, no matter what he went to the mountain for, how could a normal old man walk up the mountain alone and come back so late? ”

Chen Fan nodded again.

"Third, this old man is so hospitable, he didn't ask us where we came from, he took us directly to his own home, and asked if he could just talk a few words with a stranger home?"

"Fourthly, he said that no one had been here for a long time, but he didn't seem surprised at all when he saw us, as if he had known we were coming. ”

"Fifth, I think this wooden house is too new, right? It feels like it has just been made, how can there be such a wooden house in a barren mountain?"

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth rose and said, "You have found a lot!"

Luo Qingyun said proudly: "Of course, do you think I've been just chatting with that old man?

"What are you proud of, and there's one more thing you haven't noticed, right?"

"What?"

"It's this village, it doesn't exist in the morning. ”

"What?" Luo Qingyun was surprised, "How do you know that this village doesn't exist in the morning?"

"We're down the trail today, you know?"

Luo Qingyun nodded.

"Before going down the mountain, I wanted to look down the mountain and found that there was no village at all in this place, but it was strange that at night, this village actually appeared out of nowhere, so I will stop you before entering the village. ”

"I see!"

"So to sum up, it is not difficult for us to come to a conclusion......

"This is definitely not an ordinary village. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, and then I heard the voice of the old man: "Three, I'm here to bring dinner, you open the door!"

Chen Fan made a gesture of "stand still" to Luo Qingyun, Yue Wuya and Luo Qingyun nodded, immediately understood, and then answered while opening the door: "Okay, uncle, I'm dying of hunger." ”

The old man smiled and said: "Come on, I don't have any mountain treasures here to entertain the two, don't be surprised!"

Luo Qingyun saw the old man's kind smile, and his heart shuddered, the more gentle the old man's smile, the more insidious Luo Qingyun felt.

However, Luo Qingyun remained silent, she took the dinner plate and said with a smile: "No, uncle, you invite us to dinner, we are too late to thank us, how can we dislike it? ”

Luo Qingyun's words were prickly, but the old man couldn't hear it, thinking that they would really taste it, so he replied with a smile: "Okay, don't hinder your meal, the old man will go out first." After saying that, the old man closed the door and walked out.

Seeing the old man walk out, Luo Qingyun said, "Chen Fan, what now?"

"Bring the food first!"

"Chen Fan, do you want to eat?"

"Are you a fool to me? Do you want to jump down when you know it's a trap?"

"And what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to test what drugs he put in his meals so we can keep going. ”

"Chen Fan, don't you immediately demolish him?"

"Put a long line and catch a big fish, you just take it. ”

"Okay. ”

Chen Fan took out a filament from his pocket, then dipped one end of it into the meal, and then picked it up again.

"Chen Fan, what are you doing?"

Chen Fan said "Shhh!", which meant that Luo Qingyun was told not to make a sound, she lit the filament, and a layer of white smoke came out.

"That's sweat medicine!" Chen Fan smiled, obviously this laugh was just a mockery: "It turns out that he just wants to make us unconscious." ”

"How do you know?"

Chen Fan smiled faintly and said, "I can smell the smell of ordinary poison." ”

"You're so good?"

"Do you think that a warrior is just a high force?"

Luo Qingyun was speechless, because it was exactly like what Chen Fan said, he always thought that a martial artist was the best person to fight, and he didn't expect that there would be such a powerful auxiliary skill.

"So what do we do now?"

"What else can I do?" Chen Fan said, "Of course we will throw away these dinners and eat our dry food!"

"Yes, yes!" Yue Wuya replied as she poured dinner under the bed, then took out a little shortbread from the bag and gave it to Chen Fan and Luo Qingyun.

After a brief dinner for the three of them, Chen Fan said, "Let's go to bed quickly, remember to pretend to be decent." ”

"Don't you say I want to sleep! I'm so tired from walking in the mountains these days. ”

"I'm not telling you to really sleep, I'm telling you to pretend to sleep. ”

Luo Qingyun was very helpless: "Uh, can't you sleep tonight?"

"We don't know the details of the enemy, can you sleep soundly?"

Luo Qingyun was silent.

There was no word all night, the sky gradually brightened, and the soft sunlight shone in through the window, shining on the faces of Chen Fan and the others.

Chen Fan, Yue Wuya, and Luo Qingyun didn't sleep all night last night in order to prepare for a sneak attack, but the strangest thing was that no one came to sneak attack at all last night, which made Chen Fan and them feel very surprised.

"Ah......" Luo Qingyun yawned and said, "Chen Fan, it doesn't seem to have anything last night, right?"

"Impossible, if the old man didn't mean to harm us, why did he put sweat medicine in the meal?" Chen Fan was still lying on the bed, his eyes closed and said: "The effect of sweat medicine will not pass like this, he will definitely take some action." ”

"And how long are we going to pretend to be asleep?"

"Three days! Judging by the amount of medicine he has taken, he should want us to sleep for three days. ”

"Three days, isn't it?"

"Qingyun!" Chen Fan said sharply: "Don't be so loud, I hear there seems to be movement outside." ”

Luo Qingyun immediately shut up and listened.

Outside the house, the sound of two men talking was heard:

"Are you really sure our prey is unconscious?"

"I've been watching them all night, and they haven't moved, they must be wandering in their sleep!"

"They're in our pocket now, hehe......"

"But if your lord knew that we were using such a third-rate method, would he be angry?"

"What does it matter, we can say that we defeated them with the martial arts he taught us, anyway, the process is not important, the most important thing is the result!"

"Alright, let's go collect the net now!"

When Luo Qingyun and Chen Fan heard this familiar voice, they knew that it was the same Mark who spoke last night.

"Damn!" Luo Qingyun cursed in a low voice, but she was also secretly puzzled: who is the other party?

"If I'm not mistaken, they should also be from the underworld!" Chen Fan said: "Okay, don't make a noise, when they come in, we will kill them by surprise." ”

"Hehe!" Luo Qingyun nodded excitedly: "I don't know who is the prey this time!"

"Shh

When Yue Wuya and Luo Qingyun heard Chen Fan's instructions, they immediately kept silent and quietly waited for the arrival of their prey.

"Dada......"

The footsteps drew nearer and closer, and suddenly, the door was quietly pushed open, and six people walked in, with Mark walking in front.

There were six people who came, and in the middle there was a very peculiar-looking man, who had dark skin, a very long face, not only a bare head, but also a pair of sleepy eyes without eyebrows, and he was more ugly than a strange look. This person is still wearing a white monastic robe, with a star-shaped pendant hanging from his chest, and at a glance he knows that he is also from the underworld.

Behind him, there were several people in gray monastic robes, and their positions should be lower than the one in front!

Mark said, "Hehe...... Look, do they all sleep like pigs?"

"Haha, Mark, you've done a good job!" the black-faced monk praised in an extremely strange voice, "You completed the task so easily, your plan is too powerful." ”

"Hehe, my lord has won the prize!" Mark hurriedly said: "If there is no adult in charge, my plan will not be so smooth!"

"Alright, let's stop talking, let's tie them up first!"

"Yes!" Mark's face sank, and he pointed to the three big men in the team and shouted, "You three, tie these three up for me!"

"Yes!" the three men replied, each holding a rope and stepping forward quickly.

"Hmph!" Mark sneered twice and said, "You guys are going to die this time!"

Just when the three people were about to tie up Chen Fan and the others, Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, and then took out the Xuantian Ring Ruler, and cut off all the heads of the three people without sparing any hand.

Chen Fan's series of actions were as fast as lightning, and they were done in one go, and the three members of the underworld didn't know what was going on, and they were already in different places.

Just when Mark and the others were in shock, Chen Fan's deep voice had already sounded faintly: "You are going to die this time!"
