Chapter 16: The Ugliness of Jealousy
"What?!"
Su Heng was shocked, his face was full of consternation, and his eyes even showed fear, "This...... This ......, is this really an easy task? ”
"That's not all there is to the hard mission."
"First, when we set off at night, we were surrounded by an evil spirit, and then, before we could react, we unknowingly fell into a fantasy world."
"Now."
"Brother Yang turned the tide and killed the other party, but he was still just a clone?!"
"It's really wrong."
Fang Yan's gaze was solemn, "This is no longer a task that our 'Level 1 Demon Hunters' can handle, we need to go back immediately, report this matter, and let the 'Level 2 Demon Hunters' or 'Level 3 Demon Hunters' handle it." ”
"We're just leaving?"
Xiao Lingliu frowned slightly.
To know.
Xiao Ling is from the Xiao family, one of the two major families in Jianglin Town, and she has just joined the Demon Slayer Division, and this is her first mission.
Just give up.
She was quite unwilling in her heart.
After all.
The first mission was declared a failure, and if this was passed on to the clan, it would definitely be laughed at by many peers, and in the eyes of the elders, it would also lower the impression.
She didn't want her father to look down on her.
Other than that.
Xiao Ling, as a child of the Xiao family, has different identities and statuses, for ordinary people, they can only cultivate lower-grade martial arts, but Xiao Ling directly cultivates high-grade martial arts, and starts with high-grade martial arts.
That is to say.
It is divided according to the level of refining.
Xiao Ling is already at the 'Inner Strong' level, which is one level higher than Yang Li's 'Bone Refining' level, which is the innate advantage of a strong family disciple.
Pity.
Xiao Ling hadn't trained her martial arts to the 'grandmaster level', so she couldn't rely on martial arts to cause damage to the evil spirits.
Only with the help of foreign objects.
"Of course not."
Yang Li said in a deep voice: "It's not okay to give up like this, whether it's a clone just now, or escaped, the other party must be damaged at present, and it is the best time for us to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”
"Yes, yes."
Xiao Ling nodded, "I don't think I can just give up." ”
"But Brother Yang."
Su Heng's face was embarrassed, "We don't even know where the other party's body is!" ”
"yes!"
Fangyan Road.
"I know."
Yang Li's eyes flashed, "I can determine where the other party's real body is hidden." ”
"Clean up."
Yang Li said: "Let's go back to the village." ”
"Back to the village?"
Su Heng was puzzled.
"Yes."
Yang Li nodded, "The other party is hiding in the village." ”
"This ......"
Neither Fang Yan nor Xiao Ling reacted.
How can it be in the village?!
Take a break.
Restore strength.
When Yang Li and the others returned to Lijia Village, it was already half an hour later, and in the middle of the night, under the moonlight, the houses in the village were reflected in a heavy manner.
The house is closed.
Quiescence.
Dusky.
Even the native dogs in the village stopped barking.
There was a faint pressure.
"Brother Yang, are you really sure?"
Su Heng asked.
"Hmm."
Yang Li nodded, "Brother Su, Brother Fang, and Miss Xiao, the three of you have to be careful next, there will definitely be a big battle, I hope you will go all out." ”
"After this incident."
"I'm sure you'll be able to get a lot of quest rewards from the Demon Slayer."
"Okay."
Su Heng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Since Brother Yang has said so, I am not a bad seed, not to mention, I still owe Brother Yang two lives." ”
"That's right."
Fang Yan nodded, "Fight." ”
“……”
Xiao Ling was slightly silent.
But.
She was also completely energetic, and she had silently held the things prepared in advance in her hands, waiting for things to break out and be able to act in time.
Talk about it.
Yang Li had already come to the door of Li Damin's village chief's house.
All four horses were tied to a post not far away.
"Go knock."
Yang Li said.
"Okay."
Su Heng nodded, took a deep breath, had calmed down, no longer nervous, no matter what, he and Fang Yan had experienced a lot of evil incidents.
Boom! Boom!
Su Heng knocked lightly on the door.
"Who?!"
Inside the house.
Li Damin's vigilant voice came.
"Village Chief."
Su Heng replied in a calm tone: "It's me, the evil in the cemetery has been solved by us, it's a pity that we couldn't find those who disappeared, but I estimate that they should all be killed by that evil spirit." ”
"Open the door."
"Okay."
Li Damin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly opened the door, and saw Yang Li and the four people standing outside the door, and his nervous face relaxed.
"Four adults, please come in."
Li Damin quickly moved out of the way.
“……”
Su Heng turned his head and glanced at Yang Li.
"Hmm."
Yang Li nodded lightly.
Thereupon.
Su Heng walked into the house.
Fang Yan, Xiao Ling, Yang Li.
The three of them followed closely and walked in, the oil lamp in the room was slightly dim, and the shadows of the five people in the room were reflected on the surrounding walls, which were very long.
"Four adults."
Li Damin bowed to Yang Li and the others, his tone was full of gratitude, "This time it is really thanks to you that the trouble in the village has been solved, otherwise, the village does not know how many people will die." ”
"On behalf of the whole village, I would like to thank you for your great kindness."
said.
Li Damin knelt down and kowtowed.
"Hmm."
Su Heng and the others did not help Li Damin, in their eyes, Li Damin was already humble, and they rescued Lijia Village, so it was worth Li Damin to kneel and thank.
This.
Yang Li didn't help Li Damin either.
"Village Chief Li."
Yang Li's eyes looked at the bedroom, Wang Xiaohua was lying on the bed, the quilt was slightly undulating, it seemed that she was asleep, just on the edge of the bed outside her quilt.
A white fox tail is exposed.
"I heard you have a daughter."
Yang Li's gaze fell on the fox's tail, his eyes narrowed, and his right hand couldn't help but rest on the handle of the blazing iron knife, "Is it called 'Li Yan'?" ”
"This ......"
Li Damin was stunned for a moment, raised his head, looked at Yang Li, and his face was a little shocked, "Big ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... How would you know? ”
"Hehe......"
Yang Li's face was expressionless, "Because I saw your daughter's tombstone in the cemetery, so I asked, and now it seems that I guessed correctly." ”
"How did your daughter die?"
Yang Li asked again.
"I ...... I ......"
Li Damin lowered his head in extreme decadence.
He remembered twenty years ago.
Then.
Li Damin's daughter Li Yan is not dead.
Originally.
Li Damin and his wife Wang Xiaohua gave birth to Li Yan, Li Yan has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and has an unexpectedly high talent for musical instruments.
And also.
As Li Yan grew up, he completely inherited the advantages of Li Damen and his wife Wang Xiaohua, and he also became slim and more beautiful.
Plus.
Li Yan loves musical instruments very much, especially likes to play the piano.
Thereupon.
Li Damin bought a guqin for Li Yan.
But I didn't expect it.
became the fuse of Li Yan's disaster.
Lijia Village.
They are all ordinary ordinary people, few people have heard of playing the piano, Li Yan is extremely talented, and slowly, she is playing the piano better and better.
This attracted many men, women and children from the village to listen to the music.
Nothing at first.
Until.
Someday.
Li Yan appeared in the eyes of the villagers of Lijia Village, and the men in the village only thought that Li Yan was a fairy in the sky, and those women saw that their husbands and children were so obsessed, and saw that Li Yan was so beautiful, and could play the piano, proficient in various musical instruments, and his temperament was even more extraordinary, like a fairy, and they only felt jealousy and anger in their hearts.
Gradual.
The men in the village came to listen to Li Yan play the piano every day, and they were obsessed with it, unable to extricate themselves, and some even ignored their homes, which completely ignited the anger of the women in the village.
"Vixen! Coquette! ”
"The village chief's daughter is a vixen!!"
"She's a vixen!"
"A man who will only seduce other people's families!"
"Disgusting!"
"Vixen!"
"Bitch vixen!"
“……”
Anger and jealousy exploded.
The ugly side of human nature also emerges.
The women of the village.
Every day until night.
It's been cursing, scolding, cursing.
Li Yan didn't dare to play the piano anymore.
Don't even dare to go out of the house.
However.
It's useless at all.
The scolding of the village women never stopped, and even the children in the village were influenced by their mothers to make up nursery rhymes that spread to the next village.
Finally.
Until one day.
Li Yan's psychology could no longer bear so many insults and curses, and she couldn't live in panic, and in her heart and sorrow, she crashed into her guqin and died.
Since then.
Li Yan died.
The gossip in the village also stopped.
The women were very happy.
They all said.
Coquette!
Good to die!
In fact.
Li Yan is not a vixen at all!
She's just a girl who loves musical instruments, loves music, and loves to share.
Pity.
was forced to die.
