Chapter 15: Xiaojiashan Village (4)

After resting for a while, the group gradually descended into the village.

A white cloth hangs at the door of every house, but to everyone's surprise, there is a red hydrangea hanging on the door, which is only hung by those who are married.

The red and white strips of cloth are intertwined, giving the village a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Ning Chengen looked around at Zhao Shanhe, "Senior brother, let's go find the people in the village now?" ”

Zhao Shanhe nodded in response.

The few people they searched for yesterday were not far from them, and they only needed a few steps to get there.

The six of them stood in front of the door of a courtyard, which was already moth-eaten by insects, and Yu Shengsheng dared to guarantee that if she tried a little harder, the door would be shattered and shattered.

Yun Ji took a step forward and knocked on the door cautiously: "Is anyone there?" ”

With a "boom", the door fell to the ground, kicking up a huge amount of dust and smoke.

Zhao Shanhe waved his sleeves, and the smoke and dust suddenly dispersed.

Yun Ji looked at several people with an innocent face: "I'm really careful......"

There was also a subtle hint of grievance in his tone.

The loud noise startled out the family hiding underground. Their complexions were sallow, their lips were chapped and disastrous, and the blue-black marks under their eyes were about to level the tip of their noses.

Tired eyes looked at Yu Shengsheng and his party in panic, the child hid behind the old man, poked his head out from time to time, and was stuffed back by the old man the next moment.

The old man knelt on the ground with a thud, his forehead clattered on the ground, "A few immortals, please save us!" ”

The two children behind him were still young, and when they saw their grandmother doing this, they also knelt down and repeated: "Immortals, please save us!" ”

The child's ignorant eyes and the old man's pleading look fell into their field of vision together, and Xi Jinzhi immediately stepped forward to help them up and said, "Old man, don't be like this, you tell me what happened first." ”

"Old woman, what are you looking for them! These people are here to pay us back! Don't you think our village is miserable enough? I don't know when a man appeared in the courtyard, his face was the same haggard as the old man, the difference was that his eyes were full of anger, and his voice was a little gritted teeth: "Last time you came a few immortals, you ignored the people in the village to beg for people, and as a result, what did it do to our village?" ”

The man continued: "If you want me to say that you are an old immortal evil spirit who should have died a long time ago! When I was young, Kefu Kefu, when I was old, Kezi is old, and now I have ruined our village, hurry up and die......"

"Shut up!"

Before the man could finish his words, he felt something cold against his neck, and drips of warm liquid ran down his neck, and he felt a little itchy, and reached out to wipe it, and the blood on his fingertips pierced his eyes and pierced his viciousness.

The dry hands kept trembling, and for a moment he thought that he had entered an extremely cold region, and his yellow teeth trembled up and down uncontrollably, and his whole body was extremely cold.

When he looked up, a woman came to his side at some point, and the long sword in her hand reflected her frightened reflection. And the owner of the sword is looking at himself coldly, he has seen this kind of look, when the strong man at the entrance of the village kills the pig, the cold look at the dead thing, no matter how the pig screams, how upset the noisy people are, it will not alarm the strong man's heart a trace of waves.

"Fairy spare your life!"

The sword in Yu Shengsheng's hand still maintained its original position: "Apologize to the old man." ”

The man immediately nodded: "Okay...... Good...... I apologized immediately, apologized immediately, and begged the fairy not to kill me! ”

"What are you talking about, hurry up!"

Yuan Rou came behind the man and kicked him on the inside of his knee, and the man knelt on the ground with a "plop". Yu Shengsheng's sword didn't have time to retract, only to see that the wound on the man's neck was a little deeper, and pink flesh could be faintly seen.

The man didn't care about the pain, and kowtowed to the old man again and again: "Old Xiao, I was wrong, you don't remember the villain, forgive me......"

The old woman seemed to be in great pain, and did not look at the man, and crystal tears fell from her cloudy eyes, and did not answer.

The man thought that the old woman had forgiven him, and hurriedly got up and wanted to go out, but before he could take two steps, another sword blocked his way.

Zhao Shanhe's smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, his eyes were cold when he looked at the man, and when he turned his head to look at Yu Shengsheng, he was familiar again: "Senior sister, this person should know a lot of things, and he can't let him go like this in vain." It's better to keep him down, tie him up in this courtyard, and ask him directly if there is anything. ”

When the man looked at Zhao Shanhe, his limbs seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move, and the most instinctive human consciousness told him that this man was more dangerous than the woman who was holding her neck.

Despite his gentle body, he looks like a powerless scholar.

"Old man, what happened in this village? And where is the immortal that the man said is now? ”

As soon as he entered the room, Ning Chengen asked eagerly.

Xiao Yu let out a long sigh, looked out of the door, and said, "Our Xiaojiashan Village is originally the poorest of the surrounding villages. Two years ago, the Yan family produced a champion, and now he is the prime minister of the court. After he took office, our Xiaojiashan Village occupied a lot of light, and it became rich. When the local officials arrived in our Xiaojiashan Village, they were willing to give Prime Minister Yan a face, and gave our village a lot of benefits. The status of that kid of the Yan family in the court is getting higher and higher, and we all thought that we were going to soar at that time. When the prime minister is next to each other, we all have light on our faces when we say it. ”

"Half a year ago, the weather suddenly dried for a month, and our village was born by planting mulberry trees, and it takes a lot of water to take care of mulberry trees every day. After that dry weather, it was a problem for every family to even have their own water, let alone take care of the mulberry trees. The mulberry trees in the village have all died since then, and a plague of insects has followed. ”

"Insect plague?"

"yes. Our village raises mulberry trees, and every family raises a lot of silkworms because of this. When the mulberry trees died, they thought that the silkworms would starve to death, but they were like a different person, not only did they not die, but they also gnawed on everything everywhere. The silkworm grew bigger and bigger, and when there was nothing to eat, it began to ...... Let's start ......" Speaking of this, the fish choked again, and the water flowed down the folds of his face, "It's starting to eat people!" ”

"This ......" several people looked at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes: "There is such a strange thing?" ”

Later, the old woman in the man's mouth went to the immortal to get rid of the silkworm. But the silkworms were removed, and some monsters appeared in the village, the ones that Yu Shengsheng and his party killed last night.

When the old lady said the back, she was so emotional that she almost fainted, so she had no choice but to help the old lady to rest. And the immortal in the man's mouth, everyone saw that the old lady was really tired and couldn't bear to ask any more.

Yu Shengsheng proposed: "Go and ask the man, maybe there will be something to gain." ”

The man in the courtyard was tied to a dead tree, and his head was a little more in the air, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Ning Chengen kicked the man: "Wake up!" What does the immortal look like? ”

The man woke up and saw that it was Yu Sheng, and immediately said: "I didn't hear what the man's name was, but the man had a red birthmark on his face, was wearing white clothes, and there was a sign around his waist that said what pavilion ......"

Ning Chengen: "Hugging Sword Pavilion? ”

The man immediately responded: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's the Sword Pavilion! ”

Ning Chengen's face sank instantly, and he grabbed the man's collar: "Then what about him now?" ”

The man was scared and wanted to retreat, but there was dead wood behind him, so he could only tighten his neck, "No...... I don't know! Daxian spares his life, I really don't know! ”

Then, he seemed to remember something, "It should be dead, I saw him enter the back mountain not long ago, and the back mountain is the nest of the group of silkworms." ”

Ning Chengen's eyes were red, and the hand holding the sleeve was extremely forceful, and even the fingertips trembled and turned white.

Xi Jinzhi tugged at Ning Chengen's sleeve, "Senior brother......"

Ning Chengen immediately put down the man's sleeves, walked to the side by himself, held his head in his hands, and seemed to be in great pain: "It's Wu Yuan, he's still so young, how could he die......

Xi Jinzhi's eyes were full of worry: "Senior brother, the soul lamp of the little junior brother Wuyuan in the ancestral hall of the sect has not been extinguished, and he is not dead yet...... Still waiting for us to find him. ”

Ning Chengen returned to his soul and muttered to himself: "Yes, the soul lamp is still alive before it is extinguished...... Still alive......"

Yu Shengsheng had heard before he came that Ning Chengen, Xi Jinzhi and Wu Yuan entered the Sword Holding Pavilion together. Before entering the sect, the three of them were brothers and sisters who had married righteously, and they were like brothers. Although the three of them have different paths of cultivation, it does not hinder their weight in each other's hearts.

This time when they came to Xiaojiashan Village, Xi Jinzhi and Wu Yuan also voluntarily asked the sect to join. Wu Yuan is their younger brother, who has disappeared, and as an elder, he should come to look for him.

Yu Shengsheng looked at the brother and sister who were hugging each other and sighed. Xi Jinzhi is right, the soul lamp is indeed on, but it is much darker than usual, and it can even be said that it is on the verge of death. If you can't find it, there's basically no hope.

And...... It's getting dark again.

Since Yu Shengsheng entered Xiaojiashan Village, he found that the passage of time here was not the same as in other places, there were only one or two short hours during the day, and the rest of the time was night. Although they didn't say anything last night, they all felt that the night was too long.

It was dark again, indicating that the monster had reappeared last night, and the never-ending battle would do them no good except that their stamina would be consumed.

Yu Shengsheng pondered for a moment, then walked up to the man and asked, "How did you deal with that monster?" ”

The man was puzzled: "Monsters? ”

Aftermath: "It's the monsters that appear at night." ”

Man: "Lock the door." ”

Aftermath: "? ”

....... It's that simple?

The man saw the doubts in Yu Shengsheng's heart, and replied: "That monster is not very intelligent, and every time a new night comes, they will be like newborn babies, without any common sense. As long as there is no external object to stimulate him, there is no problem in spending the night peacefully. ”

After hearing this, several people turned their heads to look at the door where only the door frame remained, and then turned their heads to look at Yunji in unison.

Looking at the five expressionless faces, Yun Jiwa cried out, wiped away the non-existent tears, and said, "I really didn't mean to. ”

Five: ............
