The old man led the three of them to a slightly larger thatched hut in the village, and then saluted: "Young man, wait a minute, wait for the old man to inform the village chief." Then the old man entered the hut alone, and after a while, he only heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the house, and another voice that sounded old but quite majestic last year said: "Uncle Li, how many times have I said, don't listen to these outsiders who subdue demons and eliminate demons, even the government is helpless in the affairs of our village, these people are just some charlatans to cheat money." Then the wooden door of the thatched hut was pushed open, and the old man and another old man holding a cane appeared at the door, and the old man who led the way seemed to be a little embarrassed when he saw the three people standing at the door, and then said: "Three young heroes, this is our village chief Huangfu Gong." Let's talk to him about the demon eradication. With that, he hurried away.

Long Shaoqing stepped forward and said to the village chief of Huangfu: "In Xialong Shaoqing, I have seen Huangfu Gong. The old village chief didn't return the salute, but just looked the three of them up and down coldly, and the three of them looked at him uncomfortably for a while, only to hear him say coldly: "A few people, please go back, there are no monsters in our village, it's just some rumors, forgive the village is shabby, I can't entertain a few, please leave quickly." "Then you have to close the door and refuse customers.

Several people heard the village chief's words just now, and the village chief obviously didn't believe a few people, and when Shaoqing was thinking about how to make the village chief believe in himself, he heard Gu Xichao say: "Slow! The village chief turned around and still said coldly: "How many people still have to teach?" Gu Xichao said:

"Huangfu Village Chief, a few of us are definitely not some gangsters like you think, we can't hide it, and now the young master of the martial arts family in the south of Jiangdu City is Gu Xichao. In the name of Gu Tianhao, the father of the family, he came here to eliminate harm for the people. The village chief of Huangfu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What credentials do you have?" Gu Xichao then took out a golden waist card from his arms, with a big Gu character engraved on it.

When the village chief saw it, he first stiffened, and then hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Young Master Gu forgives the old man for the sin of not knowing Mount Tai, please forgive me." Seeing this, Long Shaoqing knew that everything was settled, and smiled and leaned over to Gu Xichao's side and whispered: "Brother Gu, you are a bit of a 'bully'." Gu Xichao smiled helplessly and whispered: "Don't blame Young Master Long, I also had to make this decision as a last resort." Then he put away his waist card, stepped forward to help the old village chief, and said: "Don't be afraid, what you are doing is also for the sake of the residents of the village, Gu Mou has no guilt, please get up quickly." The old village chief got up and said to a few people: "Thank you for the magnanimity of the young master and the two young heroes, and the old man is grateful." Gu Xichao nodded with a smile, and then said, "Village Chief, can you tell us about that evil thing now?" The village chief nodded hurriedly and said, "That's the case, but a few young men are also invited into the house and wait for the old man to take some coarse tea to entertain him." Then he invited a few people into the house.

After a few people entered the house, the old village chief brought some tea and said: "The cold house does not treat guests well, only some coarse tea, and I hope that a few people are not strange." Long Shaoqing said with a smile: "The old man doesn't have to give examples for these little things. All you need to do is tell you the evil story. The village chief also poured himself a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "It's also that the old man is dull, but he forgot this key thing." But it's a long story. Gu Xichao drank tea and said, "The village chief doesn't need to scruple about it, just come and say it all." The village chief nodded, and then said: "This matter has to start from half a year ago, when there was only a girl in the village at first went to Qingxi to get water, but since then it has disappeared, people only found her tools to get water by the clear stream, at first we just thought that there was something bad to do, so we let some young and strong men guard the entrance of the village and did not let the girls out of the village, but the girls disappeared more and more, and then we felt that we could not go on like this, so we let those middle-aged people take some guys to the field at the edge of the village to find people, But they only found a strange cave in a dense wood, it is said that the cave is bottomless, the trees and flowers around the cut are dry, and all the birds and animals are gone, and there is a strange smell wafting from the cave. At first, a few brave young men with bows and arrows, axes, and swords and flints went down to the cave, but they all went away, and the people who were sent to rescue them were like mud oxen into the sea, and there was no news. And the disappearance of the girl in the village is becoming more and more difficult to suppress, and even affects the surrounding villages. Rumors of evil spread far and wide, and the people were all terrified, and all who could run left the village, and now only a few of us old fellows remained. With that, the village chief let out a long sigh.

Lying in his chair.
