Chapter 17: The Strange Village

"I'll change." Twilight Mountain Jing took out a copper plate, "This can be changed." ”

"Absolutely." The proprietress stepped forward with a smile and took the copper plate from his hand, and Dusk Mountain Jing only needed the pill and didn't ask for anything else.

"How can they be rich?"

"It's just..."

There was a stumbling discussion in the crowd, and Yu Yu glanced at them, swept her eyes over the twilight mountain scenery talking with the proprietress and turned around and walked back to the room quickly.

The rain was falling sparsely, slapping on the leaves, and in the mountains and forests outside the inn, a woman in a military uniform ran quickly among the mountains.

She looked back in horror while running, three steps behind her, Li Jinnian, who was dressed in a black robe, walked forward slowly, she half raised her head, but a pair of eyes were pitch black, Li Jinnian floated slightly in the air, raised his hand, and suddenly three black gases rushed out of the black robe under her and quickly wrapped around the woman's body.

The woman was entangled and had no resistance, and her face showed a painful look, as if her soul was about to be sucked away, but she was powerless to struggle.

At this moment, a sword light slashed down, cutting off the black qi directly.

I saw a man in black jumping down from a tree and splitting the black qi, "Go!" His deep voice rang out, and the woman had time to breathe, and immediately got up and ran down the mountain.

"You?" Li Jinnian spoke, but her voice was not like her own, "Aren't you the one who wants to kill them?" Do you want to do bad things for me? ”

"Demon Dao." The person who came looked at her with a deep voice, frowned, and sneered: "My mission has nothing to do with you, but no matter what, we will not be with the Demon Dao." ”

"Heh, it depends on how good you are!" Li Jinnian let out a breath, and a black gas suddenly hit his neck, but after two or three moves, the man was stuck in his throat by the demonic qi, his face was flushed, and he pulled out the wind on his wrist with force.

Li Jinnian was startled, and then snorted coldly, threw him heavily on the tree next to him, and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

In the inn, Yu Yu sat by the window and looked outside, and saw the fireworks blooming in the air, she only glanced at it, and then withdrew her gaze and turned to lie on the window and look at the street below.

Looking at the overcast sky, Yu Yu stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops that fell from under the eaves.

For some reason, she had always felt that something was wrong since she walked into the village, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"What are you thinking?" The window next to her was pushed open, and Twilight Mountain Jing sat on the window, her hands casually resting behind her head and looking at her.

Yu Wu didn't look back, squinted slightly and looked at the street outside, "It's nothing, I just think it's a little strange." ”

"What's strange?"

"I don't know, it's just weird."

"Alas, I don't think you should think nonsense, thinking too much is not in vain."

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to tell you." Yu Yu glared at him and was about to get up and enter the house, but she stopped with her palm touching the window railing. She was stunned for two seconds, and then looked at the twilight mountain view happily, "I know something is wrong!" ”

"What?" Twilight Mountain Jing frowned slightly and looked at her curiously.

"When you come, turn it over from the outside." Yu Yu beckoned to him, and the twilight mountain view was unknown, but she still turned out the window into Yu Yu's room.

Yu Wu's eyes were shining, and she looked at him and asked, "Do you feel it?" Rain. ”

"What's so good about this, it's not that I haven't been drenched..."Twilight Mountain Jing paused in the middle of speaking, because he subconsciously touched his hair.

He clearly felt that he was drenched in the rain, but now there were no drops of water in his hair.

"Did you find out?" Yu Yu's eyes widened, her eyes shining with joy, and she raised her hand to turn it over to show him. Just now, she obviously took the rain under the eaves, but there was no trace of wetness in her palms.

Yu Wu pondered for a moment, clapped her palms and said, "Think about it, since we entered the village, the people we met on the road, except for the shepherd boy and the people from this inn and the contestants, have we not seen the faces of the other villagers here?" ”

It wasn't raining when they came, but the villagers were all wearing hats and robes and covering their faces.

"And now, you see." Yu Wu stretched out her hand and pointed to the street outside, it was not long after it got dark tomorrow, but there were almost no fireworks in the village, and at a glance, there were only two red lanterns lit in front of the door of a house, but it looked particularly strange in this silent night.

"Today, there are not 100 or 90 people in our village, they are all overnight people, and if they can't live in the inn, most of them will choose to stay in other people's homes, but now even they don't move at all."

It's unusually quiet here after dark.

"And," Twilight continued, "no one came in after the sun went down, and I guess there might be an enchantment in this village." ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Yu Wu, "Go and see?" ”

Yu Yu nodded, and was about to go out and go downstairs, but was pulled by Dusk Mountain View, "Don't go to the main gate, I asked the proprietress just now, and I heard what she meant, the main door must not be opened after dark, and I guess, we can't open it." ”

"Then we... Flip through the window? ”

The two of them quietly climbed out of the window, and although they had made the sound of their landing as low as possible, it still seemed abrupt in the silence of the street.

They first went to the border of the village to take a look, but found that there was indeed an enchantment at the boundary of the village.

The two looked at each other as they walked through the streets, and strangely enough, they didn't hear anything on the street, but when they approached any of the windows, they could hear the conversation inside.

"I'll help you farm tomorrow, can you really help me pass the trial?"

"Aunt, aunt, since you are willing, wait, when I pass the trial, I will definitely come back to marry you."

"Can you hunt in the mountains? I'll go tomorrow, okay, okay. ”

There was an endless stream of voices like this, but once she retreated to the street, she couldn't hear any sound at all, and the treacherous atmosphere made Yu Wu feel a little weak in her heart, she took two steps back in succession, and was startled when she crashed into Twilight Shanjing's arms.

"Are you alright?" Twilight Shanjing looked at her and asked with concern.

Yu Wu shook her head and took a deep breath, "It's too strange here, let's go see if there is an exit first." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them looked at the door of the only lantern in front of them.

The red lanterns were like two empty eyes in the silent and dark streets, like a guide, and like a dangerous trap.

Yu Wu tugged at the sleeve of the twilight mountain view, the twilight mountain scenic spot nodded, and the two walked together in the direction of the lantern.

Walking to the door of the room with the lantern lit, Yu Wu found that the door was hidden, she mustered up the courage to step forward and nudged it, after a squeak, a gust of wind blew the door open, one, two, three... Inside this gate there is the same six-fold gate.

Yu Yu shrank back in fear, and Twilight Shanjing patted her hand to signal not to be afraid, he looked ahead, and saw that there seemed to be a small figure at the last door.

Yu Wu also saw it, she was scared, but she still stubbornly said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

"Okay." Twilight nodded, and as soon as he crossed the first threshold, he felt the raindrops fall on him, and when he looked down, there were signs of wetting on his clothes.

Yu Wu also raised her head to feel the rain with her hands, the cold raindrops hit her, and she suddenly said, "I know!" ”
