Chapter 16: Ghosts or Monsters

But there are always surprises.

At the banquet, several simple-minded villagers with developed limbs were stunned by Zhong Lifei, and after a few glasses of wine, they became bold and took the initiative to take the master and apprentice to the bandits' lair.

Chu Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This kind of high-risk work, if Master and I do it, you can't risk your lives." ”

Zhong Lifei said: "This is a good thing, wait for you to lead the way, lest we get lost in the mountains." ”

Chu Fan was speechless, the secret master drank too much, and his brain was not clear, waiting for an outsider to accompany him, how could we run away?

After the banquet was dismissed, the villagers beat gongs and drums to congratulate the master and apprentice on their triumphant return in advance.

The villagers who volunteered led the way, and Zhongli Fei happily followed.

Seeing the master's drunken appearance made Chu Fan die in a hurry.

Halfway through, taking the opportunity to give Zhong Lifei a drink, Chu Fan pulled him aside and said, "Master, wake up and sober up!" It's too late to run away. ”

Zhongli Fei said nonchalantly: "If we don't finish solving that gang of robbers, why should we run!" ”

Chu Fan's heart was broken, the master was not lightly drunk, and he really thought that he was a hero with extraordinary strength.

Zhong Lifei said again: "The surname He is not my opponent, how can I be afraid of those thieves as a teacher." ”

Chu Fan smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Is that what you're capable of?

Purely by sneak attack!

In the fair and honest competition, He Chengyu can make you walk around without eating!

Otherwise, you would have knocked them all over when you faced dozens of robbers in the village.

At this time, he heard Zhong Lifei say with a smug face: "The village chief has said that the bandits in Heifeng Village have robbed homes and houses over the years and have accumulated a lot of gold and silver treasures. Destroy them, won't all this money belong to us? ”

Damn, I said that Master suddenly became righteous and awe-inspiring, it turned out that he was fighting this idea, aren't you afraid that you will have money to make and spend your life?

Chu Fan rolled his eyes, thinking about how he could find a chance to slip away when the fight started.

In case Master is killed by robbers, it will be his own death.

It's a big deal to go back to Xuanwu Gate, and even the bottle of Five Poison Powder has been saved.

After walking for half an hour on the Black Wind Mountain, a young villager pointed to the top and said, "Two heroes, there is the Black Wind Village above, you have to be careful." ”

Chu Fan squinted and saw that there was a row of uneven wooden buildings halfway up the mountainside, and there was a pass made of white stones under it.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, if only I had the ability to fly with a sword like He Chengyu, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can be directly killed!" ”

At this time, Zhong Lifei said to the villagers: "Don't go up, wait here for my good news." ”

The villagers woke up early, and they regretted flying into the mountains with Zhongli to suppress the bandits.

Now hearing him say this, he quickly scattered and hid.

It was dark, and a gust of wind blew, making the leaves of the surrounding woods rattle.

Chu Fan looked up and saw the dark clouds in the sky, and couldn't help but say, "It's going to rain, the climate is not good for us, why don't you come another day to exterminate this gang of robbers?" ”

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, so there is no need to make a fuss."

Zhongli Fei drew his sword out of its sheath, without any room for negotiation, and forcibly pulled his apprentice upward.

"Master, can the two of us defeat those robbers?" Chu Fan's anxious voice changed.

"It's all here, how can there be a reason to go back empty-handed!" Zhong Lifei looked resolute.

The mountain wind is blowing more and more urgently, and it still has a faint fishy smell.

Chu Fan immediately concluded that it was the smell of human blood.

At this time, they came to the pass, and before they could find a place to hide, they were both stunned.

In front of the gate of the pass, there were several bloody corpses lying horizontally!

"What's going on?"

Zhong Lifei and Chu Fan stared at each other with puzzled expressions.

After a long time, Zhong Lifei calmed down and said to his apprentice, "Let's go, let's go over and see what's moving." ”

There was not a single living person in front of the quiet pass, only the miserable corpses that fell to the ground.

The blood of the deceased flowed on the white stone road, red and white, shocking.

Zhong Lifei's face was pale, and his cold gaze fell on these corpses that had been blocked by a sword, as if he was looking for clues left by the murderer.

Chu Fan asked in surprise, "How did the robbers die, and who killed them?" ”

Zhong Lifei didn't answer, he stepped over the corpse with a firm step, and Chu Fan followed behind with trepidation.

In the face of the unexpected situation, the master and apprentice did not hide, and went directly into the pass and walked towards the base camp of the robbers.

Along the way, there were the corpses of the robbers of Heifeng Village everywhere, judging by the fact that the blood flowing from the wound had not yet dried up, this tragedy had just happened.

Chu Fan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and blurted out: "Master, the robbers of the Black Wind Village won't die, right?" ”

"It seems that there is a possibility."

Zhong Lifei nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's strange, who killed these robbers before us?" ”

At this time, the mountain wind stopped without warning, the sky became darker and darker, and the rain never fell.

The mist came from all directions, like broken white silk scattered into a thousand threads, covering up the evil deeds that had just happened.

But instead of disappearing, the smell of blood remaining in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Chu Fan felt that danger was everywhere, and hurriedly said to Zhong Lifei: "Master, let's not go up, okay?" ”

"Are you scared?"

"I always feel that there is a monster in the Black Wind Village, and it is the one who killed everyone here."

"Youkai? Have you ever seen a yokai? ”

"Nope." Chu Fan shook his head.

"It's been a long time since youkai have appeared in this world. If there were, it would be a rare thing. ”

"It can't be someone from the Dark Moon Gate who did it again, right?"

"Do you think they're bored, they're full and have nothing to do, so they came over to kill a few robbers to have fun?"

Immediately, Zhongli stepped forward, and Chu Fan hurriedly caught up, for fear that he would be caught by the monster hiding in the dark if he was one step behind.

At this moment, Zhong Lifei's pace was steady, he couldn't hear a single noise, and the corners of his mouth showed an evil smile.

Finally in front of the row of wooden buildings, all of a sudden, all the fog dissipated in an instant, as if a big hand had been removed.

The sky cleared again, as if the bad weather had just been an illusion in their eyes.

When I looked up, I saw a black plaque hanging from the tall house in the center.

Chu Fan involuntarily read out the words on the plaque: "Juyi Hall!" ”

"This is the nest where the robbers gather."

Zhong Lifei's eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze fell on the two stone lions at the door.

The white stone lion was carved lifelike, and its open mouth was stained with blood, as if it had swooped down from the stone pier not long ago, devouring many robbers in the Black Wind Village.

The stone steps were also stained with blood, as were the pillars on both sides.

Looking inside from the open door, it looked like a rain of blood had fallen, and there was blood everywhere as far as the eye could see.

There were dead bodies everywhere, covered in dirty blood, and I couldn't recognize who the Black Wind Village Master had done all the evil.

"All dead?"

Zhong Li Fei was stunned, and then shouted at the throat: "Is there anyone, is there anyone?" ”

There was no response, and the echo of the valley was like a voice from the netherworld.

"I'm really dead."

Faced with such a terrifying scene, Zhong Lifei said in a hurry: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways to search for the robbers' treasures. ”

"Master, aren't you afraid that the murderer won't leave, and he will kill us when he turns around?" Chu Fan cried with a sad face.

"Go! With Master here, nothing will happen! We met at the Hall of Justice. ”

Zhong Lifei couldn't help but push Chu Fan, and the two of them were on the left and right, looking for the rumored gold, silver and jewelry.

As a result, the two searched every room in the village, but they could not find anything of value, not even a copper plate.

"It's strange that the money has been swept away by the murderer? In order to kill for money, the murderer did not hesitate to kill all the robbers? After reuniting, Zhong Lifei tilted his head and sighed.

Chu Fan was also puzzled, not knowing what was going on.
