Chapter 57: The Lost Population

The village chief personally brewed tea in his old teapot, and some villagers brought out big pears, peaches, and unripe green dates from their plates, piling up the elm table to the brim, and everything was done, everyone was quiet and didn't know what to say, just stared at Ye Qiu and Jing Xuan.

Ye Qiu and Jing Xuan also looked at each other, just smiled, fortunately Ye Qiu and Jing Xuan looked like a peugeot, not like some bad person, or the village chief knew the etiquette, he gave Ye Qiu and Jing Xuan a few cups of tea, let some fruit to eat, and then got up and bowed, and said, "Two little immortals." ”

Ye Qiu and Jing Xuan all laughed when they heard such a title, this smile caused the surrounding villagers who were watching the excitement to laugh involuntarily, and the tense atmosphere just now suddenly eased a lot, but this made the village chief a little uncomfortable.

Ye Qiu hurriedly said: "Don't call it that anymore, we are not immortals." After speaking, Ye Qiu got up and asked the village chief to sit down again.

The village chief stroked the goatee, thought for a while, and said cautiously: "But I heard you just now that you are from Yunwu Ridge. ”

Ye Qiu said: "We are indeed disciples of Yunwuling, but we are not immortals. ”

The village chief pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "When I was young, I heard that there were many immortals living in Yunwu Ridge, and you were not very old. When the village chief said this, his face was full of suspicion.

"They'll fly. "Standing on the firewood pile in the distance, there was an ignorant doll who shouted loudly, which was the most naughty in the village.

This shout reminded the village chief, and he suddenly remembered that Ye Qiu had indeed flown in the air just now, and the village chief hurriedly said: "Yes, you can fly, you can fly, you are immortals, and the gods have come to save us." ”

As soon as the village chief shouted like this, the names of the villages standing around suddenly became very excited, and they all shouted: "The gods are coming, the gods are coming." ”

For a while, the surroundings became very lively, as if it was a festival, Jing Xuan quietly said to Ye Qiu: "Senior brother, don't explain anymore, look at them, you don't listen to them at all." ”

Ye Qiu saw this situation, and also felt that what Jing Xuan said made sense, so he had to say: "Immortals are immortals, as long as we don't call us monsters." ”

"Youkai, youkai are coming. I don't know which villager suddenly shouted after Ye Qiu's words, and suddenly the yard was chaotic again, and some little babies fell off the firewood stack without holding it steady, crying in pain.

Jing Xuan got angry at this time and said, "We are not monsters!" Jing Xuan was a little younger than Ye Qiu, but his voice was much crisper than Ye Qiu's, this shout, there was a lot of noise around just now, and it suddenly returned to quiet.

The village chief suddenly stood up and said, "Don't mess with you if you are scared by monsters. ”

When Ye Qiu heard the village chief say this, he suddenly became suspicious in his heart, so he asked, "Could it be that you really met a monster?"

When the village chief heard Ye Qiu ask, he stared at Ye Qiu and Jing Xuan again, and then continued: "Hey, don't hide it from the two little immortals, the village has really encountered monsters, and speaking of this monster, it really hurts our village." As he spoke, the village chief was about to burst into tears.

Ye Qiu asked again: "Old man, just explain it, we don't have other skills, but we have some skills in subduing demons." ”

When the village chief heard Ye Qiu say this, his heart suddenly became happy, and he said: " Great, that's great, here's the thing, our village was originally quiet, but not long ago, for some reason, suddenly began to lose people from time to time at night, first some ignorant dolls were lost, and then some adults also disappeared inexplicably, I don't know what's going on, and I can't find the reason at all, and then we searched in many ways, and found a lot of bloodstained white bones in the ravine outside the village, and then we knew that these lost villagers were killed, so we organized the village of strong men to patrol the village, I thought that maybe these villagers were eaten by wild beasts, but strange timesAccording to the villagers who patrolled the village, although they could not find the beast at night, they could often hear the cry of the beast, and they could also see many bright eyes like ghost fire in the night from time to time, and then what was even more frightening was that even those villagers who patrolled the village were missing a lot, and no one dared to move at night anymore, everyone had to close the door tightly at night, but it was useless Wow, people still kept losing, I went to the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village to bow down many times, only to ask the ancestors to bless us, but it was useless, I was the head of the village, ashamed of the ancestors。 As the village chief spoke, he couldn't help but continue to wipe his tears with his hands.

Jing Xuan listened, and was also moved by what the village chief said, and said to Ye Qiu: "Senior brother, it seems that there are really monsters in this village, and we came at the right time." ”

When the village chief heard Jing Xuan say this, he suddenly wiped away the tears on his face excitedly, and said, "Yes, you are the immortals sent by God to eliminate demons for us, and we are finally saved." ”

The surrounding villagers shouted in unison: "We are saved." ”

Ye Qiu said: "It seems that this monster likes to be active at night, well, I don't know what kind of monster it is, you don't have to worry, my junior brother and I do know some demon slaying spells, since we are here today, then we will meet this monster first." ”

The village chief heard that Ye Qiu seemed to have a way to subdue the monster, so he said excitedly: "If the two little immortals can subdue this monster, our village will definitely be rewarded." ”

Ye Qiu said: "The village chief is polite, it is the duty of our Yunwuling disciples to subdue demons and eliminate demons, how dare we ask for anything in return." ”

Jing Xuan was rattling the few green dates left on the table at this time, and said, "I don't have anything to ask for, but my stomach seems to be a little hungry." ”

Ye Qiu heard Jing Xuan say this, and Jing Xuan, who was unhappy, said: "Little monkey, what nonsense are you talking about, why are you a little hungry." ”

Jing Xuan looked at Ye Qiu with an innocent smile, a little embarrassed, those villagers saw that Jing Xuan was talking smartly and cutely, just like those naughty children in the village, and they all laughed along.

The village chief got up at this time and hurriedly said: "By the way, by the way, it's all because I didn't prepare well, the two little immortals came to our village, and they worked hard all the way, they must be very hungry now, please rest here for a while." While speaking, the village chief hurriedly instructed the villagers to kill chickens, kill sheep, and cut vegetables and cook rice, and got busy.

Ye Qiu said to Jing Xuan: "Little monkey, if you don't know how to speak in the future, talk less." ”

Jing Xuan pouted, a little unhappy, and said: "Senior brother, I have said that I have caught monsters, I can't let people go hungry to catch monsters, I don't have any energy on my body, if that monster has strength, why can't we fight, it's not more troublesome." ”

Ye Qiu complained to Jing Xuan and said, "You have a lot of reasons. ”

Jing Xuan looked at Ye Qiu with a smile, and then just waited for a full meal first, Jing Xuan has been staying in Yunwuling all these years, and Yunwuling's meals are tired of eating early, and now it is rare to have a meal under the mountain, and he is very looking forward to it.

Many of the villagers surrounding the courtyard and outside did not leave at this time, observing Ye Qiu and Jing Xuan, and Ye Qiu spoke to those villagers without saying a word.
