Along the way, I saw a continuous mountain in front of me, the mountain is towering, and the forest is luxuriant, giving people a gloomy and gloomy feeling.

At the foot of the mountain, there is also a small mountain village standing here.

Presumably, this is the nearest village at the foot of Niangzi Mountain.

As soon as the group entered the village, they were discovered by the local villagers.

Seeing that there were three strangers and two handsome men among them, the villagers' expressions became a little abnormal, and after looking at each other, they slowly gathered around this side.

"So many goblins?"

When Du Yongyu saw these people, he frowned, holding the hilt of his sword, intending to fight with them first.

Ye Ming smiled and said:

"These are people, not ghosts."

Hearing that it was a person, Du Yongyu did not relax his vigilance, and still looked at the villagers who had gathered.

Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, an old man in the village suddenly shouted:

"Welcome!"

Then I saw that the villagers who came around suddenly danced and jumped around the ox cart, looking strange but interesting.

When Du Yongyu and Miss Shen saw this, they were all confused, and they didn't know what they were doing.

The movement of dancing here led a family member to come out and check.

It was an old man with a young man and a girl.

The three of them looked over at a glance and saw the people on the ox cart, which was also an accident.

On the ox cart, Yeming saw the three people over there, and greeted them with a bright smile.

When Miss Shen saw Yeming's movements, she also went over, only to find out that it was Jingzhou Lao Dao, Ren Rui, and Mu Zhi who were here.

The villagers danced around them for a while, and then stopped, followed by a burst of cheers.

Du Yongyu still hadn't figured out what was going on, and looked at everyone a little confused.

At this time, the old man who was suspected to be the village chief stepped forward and said:

"A few guests are well, this is the ceremony of our Aying clan to welcome guests."

It turned out that this village was not inhabited by the Central Plains, but by the Aying people, who had a small population.

After the welcoming ceremony, the village chief warmly invited the three to dinner.

The village chief said that their village is located in a remote area, and there are not many outsiders who come to them all year round.

Therefore, every time an outsider comes here, they will dance a special welcome dance.

Recently, they have had a good fortune and welcomed two groups of guests.

Over there, when the three of them saw that the welcome ceremony was over, they also stepped forward and greeted Yeming.

When the village chief saw this, he was very surprised, but he didn't expect the two groups of guests to know each other.

Soon everyone was sitting in the courtyard of the village chief's house and enjoying the food.

I have to say that the Aying people are very hospitable, and they are all boiled vegetable cakes that the clan is usually reluctant to eat.

"I didn't expect to see Daoyou here again, it's really fate."

Jing Zhou said and looked at Du Yongyu again.

This is a strange person, and the people who follow him are always changing.

Yeming also smiled and said that everyone was destined, and then asked why the three of them came here.

Jingzhou Lao Dao:

"I've been tracking some demonic trails for a while.

Pursued all the way, I found that many demons and demons eventually escaped into the Niangzi Mountain here, so they are here. ”

Mu Zhi also nodded again and again:

"Actually, we arrived a day before you.

By the way, we also encountered a case of a son killing his father in the last village, and after inquiry, we learned that it was the old servant who did it again. ”

Ren Rui said: "At present, I am afraid that there are a lot of evil monsters hidden in Niangzi Mountain. ”

When Du Yongyu heard this, he didn't have much fear.

After an epiphany, his mind became much calmer, and he was not alarmed.

After glancing around, he asked the village chief if there was any evil intrusion in the village.

When the village chief heard this, he said that the village had been very calm and that nothing evil had happened.

Du Yongyu asked Niangzi again if there was anything abnormal in the mountain.

The village chief said that their village is relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and often go to Niangzi Mountain to collect firewood and medicine, and have never encountered any ghosts and monsters.

The village chief's statement was obviously inconsistent with what the three of Jingzhou Lao Dao said, and Du Yongyu couldn't help but look at the three of them.

jingzhou old road says:

"That's why we're staying in the village.

It's really peaceful, and there's no evil distraction. ”

After eating for a while, Jing Zhou Lao Dao smiled and took the two apprentices away, saying that he was going to go around the village again and let the three of them eat slowly.

Seeing this, Yeming also got up and left with a smile.

For a while, only Miss Shen and Du Yongyu were left in the huge courtyard.

After the two glanced at each other, they were not in a hurry, enjoyed the food slowly, and said a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After eating for a while, I suddenly saw the village chief holding the account book, followed by several strong villagers.

The village chief pointed to the ledger and smiled:

"Two guests, you have spent a total of twelve taels of silver on this meal, may I ask if you will give cash or use something to deduct it?"

When Du Yongyu heard this, he was surprised, and pointed to the food on the table:

"So expensive? No, aren't you hospitable? What is this for? ”

When the village chief heard this, he said with a smile:

"We are indeed hospitable, but we are very hospitable, and that is a little hard work.

Otherwise, in our small village, life will not be able to go on. ”

"But that's too expensive, isn't it?"

Du Yongyu was a little dissatisfied.

When the village chief heard this, he smiled:

"So, are you planning to repay your debts?"

As he spoke, several strong villagers behind him already had the posture to step forward.

Seeing this, Du Yongyu suddenly sighed:

"Truly, there is no such thing as a free lunch."

"It seems that the two of them want to eat for nothing~~~"

The village chief smiled, and several villagers behind him stepped forward......

Soon, the screams of the village chief and a group of villagers came from the courtyard.

Looking at it again, several people were already beaten and squatting in the corner of the wall and shivering.

The village chief had a swollen eye and was pushed in front by several villagers.

"I'm sorry, we were wrong, uncle, we don't dare, we don't dare anymore!"

Seeing the village chief and others begging for mercy, Du Yongyu didn't say anything superfluous, just threw down a string of copper coins and said:

"Arrange a place for us to stay."

The village chief took the money and nodded again and again, indicating that there was no problem.

When the two left the courtyard, they saw Yeming and Jingzhou Lao Dao waiting outside.

Seeing this, Du Yongyu looked at Jing Zhou's old road and asked:

"Dao Chief, you already knew about this?"

Mu Zhi replied:

"We were blackmailed by them when we first came, and after I cleaned up, it was fine."

When Du Yongyu heard this, he raised his eyebrows:

"In that case, they still dare to slaughter us? Did you order it? ”

When Mu Zhi heard this, he pointed at Yeming with some dissatisfaction:

"I originally wanted this guy to report back, but I didn't expect him to be too chicken thief and didn't make it."

"Return?"

Du Yongyu looked puzzled, not knowing what the situation was.

However, when Miss Shen heard this, she immediately understood what Mu Zhi was referring to, and couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.

Seeing this, Du Yongyu was even more puzzled.

I don't know how I feel, this feeling of being out of place is so uncomfortable......

The village chief arranged for the three of them to live in the same courtyard as Jingzhou Lao Dao, but it was just full.

Yeming and Jingzhou Lao Dao live in the same room, Miss Shen lives with Mu Zhi, and the rest are Du Yongyu and Ren Rui.

It was dark, and it was pitch black outside.

Only the husband was still walking around the village.

Du Yongyu looked at Ren Rui, who was meditating on the bed, and after careful observation, he found that the young man who had been smiling all the time during the day had a slight painful expression on his face at this time.

It's obviously meditating, which should be relatively relaxed, but it gives people a sense of pain and tension.

When resting during the day, Du Yongyu, who had already slept enough, couldn't sleep, and didn't understand what Ren Rui was doing, so he no longer paid attention.

Get up and walk out of the yard and walk around the village.

To a certain extent, he is now considered a master of the arts, and he is not afraid of encountering evil spirits.

With a sword hanging from his waist, he walked in the village like this.

The village is not big, and after a while, I found that the ancestral hall in the village was still bright at this time.

When Du Yongyu saw this, he went to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the village is not large, there is only one room, and the light that Du Yongyu sees is the candlelight on the shrine of the ancestral hall.

When I walked into the ancestral hall, I first saw two big red candles burning.

It is normal to light candles in the ancestral hall, but in Du Yongyu's opinion, these two candles are a little unusual.

The feeling should not be in the ancestral hall, but in the cave room.

Looking at the statue on the shrine again, it is not a statue of a god, but an image of a woman in a wedding dress.

The clay woman is sitting in a mini sedan chair, even if it is just a clay statue, and it is still separated by a curtain, Du Yongyu can also know that the woman should be extremely beautiful.

As he observed the woman in the miniature sedan chair, the clay woman seemed to look up at him as well.

For a moment, a feeling of eye contact appeared.

Du Yongyu was shocked when he saw this, and when he looked at it again, he found that everything was as usual, and it was just an ordinary clay statue in front of him, and there was nothing special about it.

At this moment, Du Yongyu suddenly felt that someone appeared behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the village chief standing silently at the door of the ancestral hall looking at him.

At this time, although the village chief's appearance has not changed much, under the illumination of candlelight, there is always an indescribable gloomy feeling on his face, which is uncomfortable.

and the image of the day that leads people to rip off customers.

Seeing Du Yongyu looking back, a smile appeared on the village chief's face, and he didn't look kind.

"Guest, why are you running out and not sleeping so late?"

"Didn't the village chief sleep too?"

"I'm old and a light sleeper."

After the two looked at each other for a while, Du Yongyu suddenly pointed to the woman on the shrine and said:

"What kind of immortal do you respect?"

"The bridal lady."

"What kind of fairy is this?"

"The fairy in the Niangzi Mountain."

"Is it really a fairy?"

"Those who can bless us are naturally immortals."

"I see that there are a lot of young men in the village, why are they not missing?"

"The guest really wants to know?"

"Looks like there's something wrong with you."

Du Yongyu said, his hand already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of the village chief's mouth, and after taking two steps back, he said:

"You're a good fit for the mother."

The next moment, I saw a person suddenly walking out of the door of the ancestral hall.

No, not people, but paper people.

Two paper figures, one man and one woman.

The two paper figures appeared here, looking at Du Yongyu together, their eyes were shining, and their heads were constantly turning around their necks, looking excited.

The village chief looked at Du Yongyu and said:

"Guest, you will have a happy event to come."

The two paper men took out paper knives and paper swords, and stepped forward together, intending to take down Du Yongyu.

Facing the two paper figures at the same time, Du Yongyu's face was very calm, the sword on his waist was unsheathed, one looked at the face, and under the flash of the sword light, the two paper figures were suddenly cut into two, turned into ordinary paper figures, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the village chief first shrank his pupils, and then revealed some yellowed teeth in his mouth:

"Guest, I didn't expect you to have such a skill, I think I must like it very much."

As he spoke, he saw dark shadows moving in the darkness around the ancestral hall.

Paper figures came out one after another, both men and women, all of them kept turning their heads, looking at Du Yongyu with excitement.

The village chief took a few steps back and said slowly:

"Da Chun, like a flower, take him down and dedicate it to Niangniang."

When many men and women heard this, they all let out silent laughter, which made people's scalps tingle.

A group of paper figures with heart-wrenching smiles pounced on Du Yongyu......
