Chapter 12: Returning on a Stormy Night
The sky in the mountains is changeable, and after a sudden cold wind blows, it suddenly rains heavily in a radius of Chenjia Village.
Just as the two brothers, Chen Dong and Chen Liang, were about to talk to Chen Qinghe about the situation in the village, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the mountain not far from the ancestral hall.
Chen Dong frowned, it was already dark this day, why were there such bold people walking outside?
Just when he was puzzled, a group of people wearing gold armor and knives on horseback broke into Chenjia Village.
"Where's the village chief?!"
A loud cry resounded throughout the village.
Chen Liang looked puzzled and said, "Big brother, it's really strange today, it's so late, how can there be outsiders in our village?" ”
Outside the village, several middle-aged men on horseback suddenly dismounted.
Holding the horse rope, they walked into Chenjia Village.
Hearing that the movement of this group of people was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Dong hurriedly looked at Chen Qinghe Road: "Old Ancestor,......
Chen Qinghe nodded. "I'll take a look."
When Feng Yan saw her like this, he followed.
Chen Qinghe walked a few times and walked to the entrance of the village.
From the sound of horses' hooves just now, it can be heard that the people who came should be a group of people with a little money. In these years, those who can afford to raise horses are by no means a group of small people.
The group of people waiting at the entrance of the village, when they saw that there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walking out of this Chenjia Village, and the spiritual wit around her showed that she had only practiced qi, they unconsciously frowned.
They also noticed that behind the little girl, there was a white-haired fierce man, surrounded by a demonic aura, and they couldn't help but think to themselves, these two people were very strange......
A little soldier saw that his own leader was looking at the man opposite in a daze, he quickly coughed, and said pretendedly: "Boss, this ghost weather, it will change." ”
When the leader heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, and saluted Chen Qinghe and Feng Yangui: "We came from the west, and we suddenly encountered a rainstorm, and we want to borrow your land to stay overnight. ”
Chen Qinghe saw that there were seventeen or eighteen of them.
She thought about it for a moment and nodded.
So, Chen Qinghe opened his mouth and asked Chen Dong and Chen Liang to personally arrange and lead them to the villagers' homes to spend the night.
Before Chen Qinghe and Feng Yangui could turn around and go back, they suddenly heard several middle-aged people in robes walking over.
They scolded and talked as they shook the raindrops off their bodies.
Chen Qinghe and Feng Yangui are both immortal cultivators, and they can use their aura to disperse the raindrops around them. But the raindrops that those few mortals shook off still accidentally touched Chen Qinghe's clean and refreshing feet.
Looking at the stains that suddenly appeared on his uppers, Chen Qinghe frowned subconsciously.
When Feng Yan returned, he pulled off her shoe at that time, and with a snap of his fingers, her dirty shoe was immediately burned to ashes by the blue fire that suddenly appeared.
Seeing that they seemed to be disliked, these people in robes looked a little bad.
The person who took the lead looked like a character who walked the rivers and lakes all year round. He was very strong, with a steady gaze and a striking scar in the center of his forehead.
After he glanced at Chen Qinghe quickly, he bowed solemnly to Feng Yangui.
"A few of us are from the mountains. In the event of a sudden rainstorm, I hope to take you in for a night. ”
Feng Yangui looked at Chen Qinghe, and when he saw her nodding, he said, "We have to charge." For a night in our village, each person had to pay a silver dollar. ”
After the men glanced at each other, they nodded invisibly.
When the leading scar man saw this, he took out seven silver dollars from his pocket and walked over, wanting to hand them over to Feng Yugui.
Feng Yan returned, and he was a little unhappy. "Are there only seven of you?"
A few people in the robes were stunned, not knowing why this person said this.
Seeing that they were pretending to be stupid, Feng Yan raised his hand and pointed behind them and said, "Those old coffins behind you, if you want to collect money!" ”
"The coffins cost five silver dollars each. One dollar less, you all put it outside the village for me! ”
The few people in the robes were sealed and returned to the top of their heads with a posture of asking for money, and after pressing down the hat on their heads, they gritted their teeth and said to the leader: "Boss, give it to him!" ”
After receiving the money, Feng Yan took the initiative to lead them into an old temple at the edge of the village.
The old temple was empty, and there was nothing but the eerie stone statues, two burning red candles, and a small fire that had just been lit.
Feng Yangui didn't want to stay here any longer, and after quickly glancing at the coffins following behind them, he left.
……
And when the people who came in saw him go, they took off their clothes and sat down around the little fire.
Soon, a lot of moisture began to emerge from their soaked clothes and human skins.
As if he couldn't bear any grievances, one of them suddenly let out a low voice, and under the gaze of the gloomy stone statue, he suddenly took off his clothes and human skin, revealing the bright red flesh and surging meridians underneath.
This skinned person, from a distance, is quite terrifying.
The people present seemed to be ordinary in front of them, and their faces were expressionless.
The skinned man's eyes were already crimson at this moment, and he was itching to the depths as if there were thousands of insects and ants crawling all over his body.
He couldn't stand it anymore, he jerked up the coffin board behind him, grabbed the corpse that had only been dead for a long time, and devoured the soul hidden in the corpse mouth after mouth.
Then, he opened his mouth, bared his fangs, and bit at the corpse's neck.
Click, click
There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy present, seeing that his senior brother was becoming more and more fierce, he shook his body timidly, and looked at the man next to him: "Senior brother, fifth senior brother, is he about to lose his restraint......
The leader is not surprised. He raised his head and said, "It's still far away!" ”
"Although the exercises taught by our master are a bit evil and occasionally make us go crazy, as long as we eat the soul and flesh on time, we won't have any problems."
The youngest boy listened, smiled embarrassedly, and began to change the subject stiffly.
"Senior brother, do you feel that this village is also a bit evil?"
"When I came in here, I always felt like something was staring at us......"
Hearing this, before the others could finish speaking, the fifth senior brother who had just finished eating a dead corpse looked at him with disdain and said, "Look at your quail boldness!" No matter how evil it is, can there be an evil gate of Wangjiatun a hundred miles away? ”
When everyone heard this, they all helped the little junior brother to relieve the siege and said: "Old Five, don't blame this kid for making a fuss, he is only so big, he hasn't been far away, where can he see the world?" ”
When the leader heard this, he took out a pot of wine, poured it into his mouth and took a sip, and then said slowly: "Little junior brother, you have only been in the master for a few years, and you don't know the doorways of these villages and towns outside our Jinguacheng. ”
The young man's eyes widened when he heard this. "What doorway?"
The leader leaned against the fire, sat cross-legged, and placed the flask between his legs.
"Don't look at our Jinguacheng now, the water network is dense, there are many merchants, a prosperous scene, and the national situation of our Great Qin Kingdom is also thriving. However, before the establishment of the Great Qin State and the chaos of the war in the old dynasty, this was a well-known southern Xinjiang wasteland! ”
"The terrain here is full of ravines and strange things, and it is extremely dangerous. Or some people see that this place is rich in various mineral veins, and summon millions of side doors and scattered cultivators to fight here, and after a long time, the big and small forces of the old dynasty have also established immortal cities here to compete for interests. ”
The young man couldn't hide what he was thinking, so he asked again.
"However, what does this have to do with the villages and towns outside our Jinguacheng?"
