"What questions do you have, what do you have to ask about my bad old man, you better go." The village chief seemed to be very unkind to see Chu Hongchen.

"Village Chief, I'm just asking casually, you don't want the village to become an abandoned village, right?" At this moment, the village chief hesitated, indeed, as a manager, no one wants their villagers to be harmed.

The village chief sighed, as if compromised, and he set the candlestick aside and sat quietly, "Young man, just ask." I'll just cooperate with you. ”

Chu Hongchen hooked his lips, obviously satisfied with the cooperation of the village chief.

"Village chief, I want to ask, did you know that the village is next to the ghost fire village" In fact, Chu Hongchen has always been suspicious of the village chief, and he wanted to take the opportunity to talk.

But the village chief's expression seemed to be unpretentious, he looked lonely, and then said slowly: "If I knew, how could I harm the villagers and blame me for being ignorant." ”

For a while, Chu Hongchen couldn't see any clues from his face, because what was presented in front of him at this moment was indeed a person with a face full of self-blame. With his withered yellow face and gray messy hair, even Chu Hongchen couldn't bear to ask.

"Okay, then the second question, when I inquired with the villagers before, I heard about the Taoyuan Village that was harmed a few years ago and became an abandoned village, that time, including the strong men in the village, only the village chief came back alive, what happened?"

This is the key, if something is wrong with this so-called village chief, he will not be able to escape his eyes.

Who knows, when the village chief in front of him heard this question, the guilt on his face was even deeper, not only that, but also a little more doubt.

I saw him picking the back of his hand, and said intently: "Actually, this question is also what I have always wondered, because in fact, I don't know the reason for it." ”

Chu Hongchen's eyes widened suddenly, and he frowned: "Impossible, if this is the case, how did you escape back The villagers said that you were seriously injured at that time." ”

Is this village chief lying?

"No, young man, you don't have to doubt me so much, what I said is true, I did go out with the villagers to find a new place to live, but the territory of the Wu Desert is vast, and it is very difficult for us to go out and find an oasis, and it was dark at that time, and we were about to return home, when I suddenly felt a headache in my head, and then I fell unconscious. When I wake up again."

"What's the matter" Chu Hongchen asked nervously, only to see the village chief pause, and continued: "Alas, when I woke up, it was already the next day, I was covered in blood, my legs were injured, and my body had a few cuts. At that time, I was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and suddenly remembered the legend of Ghost Fire Village, thinking that it must be those evil generals who killed the villagers, and I just escaped by luck. ”

The more he spoke, the lower the village chief's head became, and he seemed to feel really uncomfortable.

Chu Hongchen didn't know whether to comfort him or continue to ask. But he listened to the village chief talk to himself and continued, "At that time, I desperately fled back to the village, thinking that I had picked up a life, who knows, the next strange thing happened, I began to be afraid of the sun, and every time I fell asleep, my body would be very tired when I woke up the next day, not only that, but the house also became dark and oppressive, and the sun could not shine. I became a monster, living every day, and my leg was lame after that time. I knew that I might as well have lost this fate."

When the village chief said this, the dim light made him very old.

"Village chief, I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked this, but you forgive me for my task."

"Forget it, do you have any other questions to ask?"

"Without these two is the most important thing, you yourself have said a lot. I'll take care of the rest. Chu Hongchen got up and was about to say goodbye to the village chief and leave, but when he saw the village chief suddenly stand up, his expression became a little weird. It was dark in the house, but the village chief suddenly said to himself in the direction of the window, "The sun has set."

His right eye suddenly moved several times, trying to wrinkle his face with his eyes, and he looked a little weird.

Chu Hongchen frowned, and couldn't help but ask him: "Village chief, why did your face suddenly twitch are you okay?"

At this moment, the village chief immediately returned to his original state, as if Chu Hongchen was just dazzled just now.

"Oh hehe, nothing. Young man, the sun is setting, it's getting dark, after all, this place is very evil, I think you might as well rest here for the night, and wait for tomorrow morning before you set off. ”

this

It's not that Chu Hongchen is unwilling, it's just that it's the fourth day now, if he rests, if he can't save that girl by then, how can he be good

At this time, he suddenly felt a little tired and yawned out of shape. Come to think of it, these two days have been sleepless day and night, if the body can't bear it at that time, but it will delay time even more, it's a big deal to wait for yourself to only sleep for a few hours.

So, Chu Hongchen responded happily.

Chu Hongchen didn't have much suspicion about how the village chief learned that the sun was setting without opening the door, thinking that the village chief couldn't see the light and was used to counting the time when the night came.

The village chief seemed to be very happy when he saw him responding, and it seemed to be the same as the two of them just now, Chu Hongchen clearly saw what strange emotions flashed in his eyes, but he didn't take it to heart.

Although his legs and feet were not good, his movements were not delayed by this.

Soon a temporary wooden bed was packed out for Chu Hongchen to rest, and the futon was also laid out.

Thinking that he was extremely tired, Chu Hongchen fell asleep without thinking about it, and the village chief once advised him whether to take off the weapon he was carrying on his back. But he would feel more at ease with Yan by his side, so he politely refused.

After sleeping in a kimono, Chu Hongchen soon fell asleep.

It seemed to be a few hours later, and it was almost hour, when it was dark outside, and every house closed its doors and windows, and it was very quiet outside, except for the occasional crow of a crow.

Chu Hongchen didn't know how long it took, he only felt that there was a sight watching him in the dark in his dream, in short, his body was very uncomfortable, he frowned and snorted, and suddenly felt that something behind him shook him.

I thought it was Yan Jian complaining to himself, so he didn't wake up, and closed his eyes again in a daze

"Host host"

Chu Hongchen only felt that a cry was calling him, was it Kill Yan He was very sleepy, so he simply used telepathy to talk to Kill Yan.

"Killing Yan Jian, why don't you sleep at night?"

"Master, get up quickly, don't sleep, the situation has changed, the old man has a problem"

En

When Yan Jian said this, Chu Hongchen was so shocked that he immediately opened his eyelids, and he didn't feel sleepy.

He rolled over and sat up, the room was dark, and he was in no mood to touch the candlestick. With a touch of his hand, he immediately untied the cloth strip of the sword and pulled it out.

The Killing Yan Sword was flashing with a strong blue-purple light, instantly illuminating the entire room.

Chu Hongchen fixed his eyes and saw that there was no one in the house except him, and there was no trace of the village chief at this moment

"Damn, I was tricked by that old man, hum" Chu Hongchen gritted his teeth angrily, his biggest shortcoming was soft-heartedness, I didn't expect that the old man was as bitter as the old man, and he talked about how miserable he was, and there was really a problem

"Killing Yan Sword, if he is evil, with your ability, he should be able to detect it, why didn't you give me a warning before" Chu Hongchen frowned, and looked at the Killing Yan Sword in his hand suspiciously.

The sword suddenly broke away from his palm, floated into the air and began to speak: "Master, you can't blame me for this, I don't know what's going on. The old man had a normal breath before, and there was no trace of evil at all, and I saw that he was an ordinary human being, so I didn't reassure him. But who knew that in the second half of the night, he suddenly emitted a very dim light, if he was an ordinary person, he would not be able to see it, but the light on his body revealed a very strong evil aura, I was anxious and wanted to call you, but I was afraid of startling the snake. Fortunately, I didn't wake you up, the old man obviously wanted to kill you, so he stretched out his hand to your back, but unfortunately he was shocked back by my sword qi, and he saw that you were sleeping soundly again, so he walked out on his own. ”

When Chu Hongchen heard this, he suddenly remembered that Fang Cai's back shook suddenly, it turned out that it was not a dream, it was true

"In which direction did he go?"

"I don't know." Seeing Chu Hongchen standing up with a solemn expression, Yan Jian hurriedly continued: "However, I remember his breath, I should be able to find him." ”

Chu Hongchen suddenly lost his solemn appearance, he glanced at Yan Jian and said, "Okay, then let's go now and see who he is."

"Yes, master. But when the old man said those strange things about him before, didn't you have any doubts, how can normal people not see the light, only evil people are afraid of the sun. ”

After Yan Jian's reminder, Chu Hongchen also began to get annoyed and secretly scolded himself for being careless.

However, he looked at Lu Yan's flashing appearance, and was inexplicably annoyed, "You don't talk about cool things there, you didn't remind me of it."

was yelled at, but instead of being angry, Yan Yan shrank back in fright.

It's really unexpected, the dignified Ancient Divine Sword Killing Yan was actually trained to be obedient in front of Chu Hongchen.

As soon as Chu Hongchen's hand was closed, Yan Jian was obediently sucked into his palm and held it tightly, "Let's go, maybe you won't be able to keep up if it's late." ”

"Wait for the master, everything has changed, it's better to be prepared. What if the old man lays a trap, I can't summon the sword soul anymore, I haven't cultivated to this skill now, and I can't suck the master's blood anymore, this time without the help of the old woman, the master's body can't afford to consume. ”

Chu Hongchen knew that Yan Jian was talking about Juan Ji.

Wait, Juan Ji

By the way, he still remembered that Juan Ji gave him a treasure before he left, saying that he could use it in an emergency, and now that he needs help, it should be an emergency.
