"How could it be! How could it be! My Taoyuan Village has never had a shortage of monthly sacrifices, why does the cave girl still refuse to let us go! After experiencing the pain of losing a child, the old man cried bitterly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" O my son! ”

Seeing that the old man was immersed in grief, Lu Xuan knew that he couldn't ask any useful information, so he had to let go of his hand weakly.

Since Lu Zhaozhao's body was not seen in the lobby, it was very likely that she was still alive, and the reason why the other party did this was probably to lure himself to find it.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan got up and was about to leave Taoyuan Village.

At that time, he had just taken two steps when the gate of the courtyard was suddenly kicked open, and Lu Xuan followed the sound.

I saw the villagers of Taoyuan Village with large and small torches, sickles and hoes in their hands, and rushed into the courtyard in a swarm, and when they saw the village chief crying bitterly, and a few people lying in a pool of blood, their faces suddenly changed greatly: "Come on, everyone, hurry up, take down this stranger!" ”

Seeing that the villagers were about to rush up indiscriminately, my sister looked down at all this and said with a smile: "Brother, kill them, it won't take much delay." ”

Lu Xuan's face was gloomy, he took out his long sword again, and when he was about to step forward to fight, Ah Lai wiped his tears and stretched out his hand in front of him: "You all get out of the way, they were not killed by Brother Lu, they were killed by your cave god, and they have nothing to do with us." ”

The villagers paused slightly, and in the light of the fire, they could see the empty skins of the corpses on the ground, which really didn't look like a living person could do.

"Brother Lu, let's go find Sister Zhaozhao." Ah Lai turned around and hugged Lu Xuan: "She can't see anything, and she must be very scared now." ”

Lu Xuan nodded, but the villagers did not get out of the way, I don't know who shouted loudly, which made the originally silent crowd boil again: "It must be this group of outsiders who have angered the cave girl, and the village chief's family will have this disaster, everyone can't let him run away, if the cave girl is angry, what should we do?" ”

Is it stubborn?

Seeing this, Lu Xuan became murderous, pulled Ah Lai away, and rushed forward.

"Hee-hee, it's time to eat." The younger sister clapped her palms happily in the moonlight and looked at the blood-stained courtyard with interest.

"Stop! Stop! ”

Listening to a terrible scream in his ears, the village chief finally came to his senses and shouted loudly, but the man in the blood-stained robe in the night was like a complete madman, and every sword would cut off the villagers' arms, legs and feet, and the stumps and arms fell all over the courtyard.

"Didn't you try to save your companion? I say, I'll say everything! ”

Lu Xuan glanced around with cold eyes, and the villagers in the courtyard who were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they couldn't stop trembling all over their bodies, but they finally stopped moving.

Although the village chief was full of grief at this time, he still asked the villagers to give Lu Xuan the county chronicle of Peach Blossom Spring, and when he saw that they were afraid and did not move, he said angrily: "Do you all want to be hacked to death by him?" Don't give it to him yet. ”

Seeing that the village chief was angry, a slightly older middle-aged man took out a book from his arms, turned to the middle page, and handed the book to Lu Xuan with a trembling slight.

After a brief flip through the pages, Lu Xuan's brows were tightly wrinkled together, but he didn't hesitate much, just said lightly: "You guys hurry up and prepare, before dawn, I want to see the sedan chair." ”

"Do as he says, do as he says."

After the village chief finished his order, he fell to the ground weakly, at this time he seemed to have lost his life, lying on his back on the ground, and the other villagers saw that Lu Xuan had no intention of stopping him, so he hurriedly helped the village chief out of this courtyard.

The village in the mountains is cool and breezy at night, the stars dot the bright sky, it is the early summer season, you should hear the cicadas chirping frogs, but the surrounding silence, only the bloody scene in front of you, can let people know that Taoyuan Village is not quiet.

Ah Lai looked at Lu Xuan from a distance, just now he saw everything that happened with his own eyes, although he knew that Brother Lu was to save Sister Zhaozhao, but he was still a little scared for no reason, and after a long time, he mustered up the courage and stepped forward to pick up the county chronicle that Lu Xuan threw on the ground at will, but he couldn't understand the content on it, but he could understand the illustrations drawn on it.

It was a woman—a woman in a wedding dress.

It was a little similar to the small-footed woman they met in the mountains and forests.

"Ah Lai, don't pity them, they're all a bunch of damned people." Lu Xuan sat on the stone slab, recalled the things recorded in the county annals, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Brother Lu, in fact, is that small-footed woman also a villager from Taoyuan Village?" Ah Lai saw an illustration in the county chronicle, which showed a woman with small feet in a coarse linen dress standing in the courtyard with a family of four.

Lu Xuan nodded, without words.

In the prefectural annals, such a passage is clearly recorded.

There is a woman in the village, her eyes are like stars, her face is like a peach blossom, she is chaste and not exposed, she is eighteen years old, she has a wedding ceremony, the ceremony is not completed, her husband's family dies, and then the wedding is carried out, and her husband's family dies again.

The villagers then liked this girl with the cave god, and married in the mountains with marriage etiquette, and did not eat or drink, and their daughter cried bitterly, the trees withered, and the mountains and rocks collapsed.

It is often necessary for the born to be sent to the mountains with wedding etiquette, which can be protected from abuse.

In fact, in this bizarre world, Lu Xuan is not incomprehensible to the villagers' behavior of sacrificing living people for external protection, after all, everyone wants to live, but he feels a little sad about it in his heart.

It's really a fucking world.

In the following period of time, the cultivators of the Tsing Yi Division continued to act in the Shenjing City, but the interesting thing is that their actions seemed to be able to be detected in advance by the cultivators of the Tsing Yi Division every time, whenever they set out to slaughter the court officials, the cultivators of the Tsing Yi Division would arrive in time, and at that time they were facing the siege of hundreds of cultivators, in this case, no matter how strong the cultivators of the Tricky Mountains were, they had to choose to evacuate.

During this period of time, the Weishan people suffered one defeat after another, and behind this was naturally Shen Ning providing enough information for the Tsing Yi Division, but even in the current situation, Shen Ning still did not dare to take it lightly, he knew that this matter would definitely not end as easily as he imagined.

After suffering many failures, the Weishan people are now more and more calm, which means that they are planning a more thorough and detailed plan behind this, Shen Ning, who knows this, sighed slightly, although he is now competing with the Weishan people in the dark, but the useful information is also pitiful.

All he can do is to block the water and cover the earth, but the current situation is at least good, and he can greatly relieve his pressure.

Thinking of this, Shen Ning sighed slightly, his pressure during this time has indeed been quite high, not only to deal with the people of the Strange Mountain, to guard against them at any time to attack many officials of the imperial court, but also to visit Ying Xianhui, and this matter also needs to be hidden from Zifu Lingyue, it is difficult to find a balance between the two, so he has not rested for a few days
