Lu Bingwen held his hand and tightened it gently, and said, "I think that this matter of you has nothing to do with double cultivation, only with you." ”

Xia Yan was stunned, stunned by Lu Bingwen's words.

At the next turn, Lu Bingwen put his arms around Xia Yan's waist, imprinted a kiss on the corner of his lips, and said, "It's too late, come on for the exam, see you tomorrow." ”

Xia Yan nodded and said, "See you tomorrow." ”

The next evening, Xia Yan's midterm exam was over, and he went to Zhengjia Village in the northwest with Lu Bingwen.

The village is indeed very difficult to access, and there are three steep mountains before entering the village. Because of the steep terrain and dense jungle, few cars are willing to drive into the village.

The northwest is the territory of the Yue clan among the four major Xuanmen, and there are many young and promising witch doctors in the Yue clan's Xuanmen, and the affairs of Zhengjia Village have also alarmed the Yue faction.

When Xia Yan and Lu Bingwen came to the village, they happened to see a little girl holding a crystal ball standing at the stone tablet in front of the village gate, and there was a dried blood mark on the stone tablet.

The girl looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the crystal ball in her hand had gradually turned blood-red, she frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Xia Yan and said, "Are you ...... Xia Yan? ”

"Yes." Xia Yan said, "Are you?" ”

"My name is Yue Jing, I heard that the people in this village are in some trouble, and my master asked me to come and take a look." The little girl put away the crystal ball, "There is a strong demonic aura in this village, and the village party secretary who wrote the letter for help is gone." I just called his daughter and it didn't get through. The results of my divination are too fierce for me to rush in, so I will go back to my fellow brother first. You guys...... Do you want to wait before you go in?"

Xia Yan said: "It's okay, let's go explore first." ”

As he walked into the village, there seemed to be a thin red line flashing under his feet.

Yue Jing, who was not far away, looked at him worriedly, and whispered: "This person is so not afraid of death, even the cursed village dares to enter." ”

Today is cold, Xia Yan shivered after entering the village, the village was surrounded by fog, in the white mist, Xia Yan suddenly saw a paper figure standing about two meters near the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, the paper man floated in the air, but there were no eyes, and the empty sleeves swayed with the wind, like a spirit flag.

Xia Yan immediately got goosebumps, but Lu Bingwen pinched his palm and said, "Don't be afraid, this is something put by the goddess in the village, and it has no power." ”

At this moment, a goddess with big red lips suddenly rushed from not far away and said, "It's over, it's over, this is an offense to the gods, and our village is going to be finished!" ”

Xia Yan wanted to stop her, but she ran out in the direction of the village gate alone, but as soon as she walked to the village gate, she suddenly fell straight down, shouting: "I can't get out, why can't I get out!" ”

Xia Yan had never seen such a strange village, and he was about to stop the running goddess, but the goddess looked up to the sky and laughed, looking not very mentally normal, and slashed with the sword in her hand, saying while chopping: "It's you, fool, it's you!" Don't come here! Roll on! ”

The paper figure floats over the village, looking down on the goddess with an eyeless face.

Xia Yan vaguely saw a figure flashing by, but at this moment, a family next to him suddenly opened the door.

A girl silently said to him: Come in, come in quickly.

Xia Yan was stunned, and walked into the door of this family with Lu Bingwen.

This family is the village party secretary who is asking for help, and there is a roster of villagers in the living room.

Seeing Xia Yan enter the door, the girl glanced at the time very nervously, pointed to the clock to Xia Yan and Lu Bingwen, and made a gesture of booing and a gesture of "1".

Xia Yan didn't understand what it meant, could it be that there was still a minute until four o'clock?

He held his breath until four o'clock, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps outside the closed door. And just then, he suddenly heard a woman's scream coming from the village gate.

"Ahh

The girl took a deep breath, looked at Xia Yan with tears in her eyes, and typed him on her mobile phone: Don't make a sound.

After about ten minutes, the screams and moans outside fell silent, and the village fell silent again.

The girl whispered to Xia Yan: "Ten minutes after every hour is the time for these infected villagers to hunt, and their eyesight does not seem to be very good, so they can only rely on sound to hunt." Recently, the village has reached the rainy season, and every day is either rainy or foggy, and these monsters, which used to only be able to walk at night, now appear even during the day. Who are you, and why did you suddenly come to our village? ”

"We are the Heavenly Master who saw your and your father's letters of help and came to exorcise demons."

The girl sighed softly and said, "My father died, not long ago, he was bitten to death by these monsters. Not every monster will become a monster after being bitten, and whether it can become a monster or not seems to be a matter of probability. But I think even if you die, it's better than becoming such a monster. ”

Xia Yan nodded, raised his eyes to look at Lu Bingwen again, and asked softly, "Brother, I just saw a very thin red line at the entrance of the village, do you know what it is?" ”

"That's the curse line." Lu Bingwen frowned and said, "This village was cursed by someone to death, which attracted the Night Wanderer. But even if you kill the Night Wanderer, it will attract other ghosts or monsters in the future. If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you must find the tablet of the cursed man, dissolve his grievances, and thus cut off the cursed thread, and the village will return to peace. ”

Chapter 44: Emperor Xudu drops his vest

Xia Yan hadn't experienced such a desperate silence for a long time. The whole village of Zhengjia Village seems to be empty, and every family lives on the grain at home, and they dare not cook and cut vegetables too loudly, they only dare to eat steamed buns when they are hungry, and they dare not boil hot water when they are thirsty. When he was close to the hour, he didn't dare to make a sound.

Xia Yan and Lu Bingwen were arranged in the guest room, the guest room was a bare kang, Zheng Xiao specially laid a thick layer of mattress for them, and said softly: "I can only let you make up for one night, there is no other food, only a few cakes to entertain you, I hope you can save our village." ”

After saying this, she glanced at her watch nervously again, and said, "It's going to be the hour again, and after the sun sets, more and more monsters will come out to feed." ”

Xia Yan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it will be solved." With the two of us here, at least it won't leave you in trouble. ”

Zheng Xiao nodded and said, "I am very grateful that you can come, saving the village is my father's last wish, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it." ”

"I'm curious, how did you choose the guardians of your village?" Xia Yan asked, "I noticed, you said that before the monster appeared, the village guards died two in succession, do you know the cause of their death?" ”

"This thing ......"

Zheng Xiao's eyes really began to hesitate, and she struggled in her heart for a long time before she said: "The first village keeper who died died of a sudden illness, and the second villager who died was ...... It was he who hanged himself. ”

Xia Yan was curious: "Are these two village guards a family?" ”

Zheng Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, they are father and daughter, and they both have a bit of a problem with their brains." ”

Lu Bingwen asked: "Then if she is an idiot and lives a good life, why did she hang herself?" ”

"Who knows." Zheng Xiao pulled out a smile, "That woman is very strange, she is stupid and stupid, maybe after her father died, she didn't even have anyone to rely on for her life, so she didn't want to live, hehe." ”

She looked out the window and suddenly saw a female ghost in a white dress with long ankle-length hair by the window.

The female ghost was very tall, she suddenly appeared in front of the window coldly, and gently pulled the corners of her mouth at Zheng Xiao, and bloody tears flowed out of her blood-red eyes.

Zheng Xiao screamed: "Ah-"

After making a sound, she covered her mouth in annoyance, her eyes full of tears.

Xia Yan looked at her in an instant, and the window was empty, but Zheng Xiao was frightened by Fang Cai's shocking glance, and the whole person was stupid, desperately hiding back.

Lu Bingwen raised his eyebrows and gave Xia Yan a look, Xia Yan immediately understood what Lu Bingwen meant, there must be something wrong with the death of this female village guard, and Zheng Xiao knew something.

Xia Yan coughed, took Zheng Xiao's hand, and said, "If you hide it like this, we won't be able to help you." ”

Zheng Xiao was so frightened by the ghost that she was about to go insane, she said without saying anything: "I didn't hurt her, but everyone knew, everyone didn't stop it, I feel guilty, I should stop it......"

"Who's going to kill her?"

"Goddess." Zheng Xiao shrank in the corner and said, "Although Zheng Xiaoyuan's parents are stupid, she is not stupid and has always taken care of her father. But her father died of a heart attack, and there were no other idiots in the village, and the goddess said that the village must have a village keeper, and Xiao Yuan was not stupid and was tied up by the goddess and fed medicine, and after eating it, he became crazy and was forced to become a new village keeper. ”

Xia Yan didn't expect this ignorant and backward village to be so cruel, and subconsciously said, "What's the difference between you and sacrificing a living person?" ”

Zheng Xiao cried and said: "Most of the people in the village believe in gods, but after Xiaoyuan's father died, the crops in the village were not harvested well, and there was a mudslide, and everyone said that the village without the village guards is not good." The goddess also said that Xiao Yuan is the bloodline left by the village guard, and sacrificing her alone can save us all, so ......"

"So none of you stopped this, and you turned a normal living person into a fool." Xia Yan frowned, "There is no doubt that each of you is an accomplice, and everything that happens now is the price." ”

It was the first time for Xia Yan to feel the sinister selfishness of human nature so intuitively, and he felt sick to his stomach for a while, but Lu Bingwen whispered to him at this time: "The top priority now is to overtake this powerful ghost, otherwise she will continue to create evil in the world." The killing is too heavy, and after death, you will go to the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

Xia Yan nodded, looked at Zheng Xiao beside her again, picked her up, and said, "You take us to her grave now, I will spend time for her." ”

Zheng Xiao was trembling all over, she was afraid of these monsters outside, but she also knew that this was her last chance to atone for her sins. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost five o'clock.

"Okay, but it's almost five o'clock." Zheng Xiao said, "Don't make a sound yet. ”

Lu Bingwen hooked the corners of one side of his mouth, looked down at Xia Yan again, and said, "What are you afraid of, it's just some walking corpses that have been invaded by demonic energy." ”

There was still a minute left before five o'clock, Lu Bingwen ignored Zheng Xiao's obstruction, found a big drum to be used for the memorial in the village, picked up the drum hammer and beat it heavily.

"Don't do this, don't do this!" Zheng Xiao covered his ears in fear, "If you do this, we will all die." ”

The drums made one dull loud bang after another, like one thunderbolt after another exploding in the sky. The sun was about to set, the fog was getting thicker, the last rays of light were obscured by the clouds, and the sky was gradually overcast.

When the fog dissipated, eight people with rolling eyes stood at the door of Zheng Xiao's house, took a few steps forward stiffly, and kept banging on the door with their heads.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The heavy pounding sound and the dull sound of drums mixed together, making the atmosphere around him even more oppressive.

Xia Yan touched the goosebumps on his arm, only to feel that it was colder around him, he was wearing a single coat in autumn, but it was as cold as winter here.

And in the next second, a few snowflakes really fell from the sky.

The snowflakes swirled and fell to the ground, and soon disappeared, but they fell more and more urgently, as if they were avenging the dead Zheng Xiaoyuan.

In the room, Xia Yan summoned Mao Xiaotang to hold him in his arms for warmth, and touched Mao Xiaotang's fluffy little head, he also felt a lot more at ease.

He looked at the back of Lu Bingwen beating the drum, thinking that Lu Bingwen probably wanted to attract all the nocturnal demons, he knew that Lu Bingwen's mana was boundless, but he was also worried about Lu Bingwen inexplicably.

Lu Bingwen is still the same, his expression is indifferent, as if all the joys and sorrows in this world have nothing to do with him.

Zheng Xiao had already hidden under the bed, constantly muttering "don't come", as if he had a nervous breakdown.

Xia Yan walked out of the door because he was worried about Lu Bingwen, he stood on Lu Bingwen's side and grabbed Lu Bingwen's hand, and whispered, "Brother, it's snowing, do you want to go in?" ”

Lu Bingwen lowered his head, bent his eyes gently at Xia Yan, and said, "Madame, are you worried about me?" ”

Xia Yan's eyes were soft and lovely, he nodded lightly, and the hand holding Lu Bingwen tightened slightly, even if it was so cold, he did not return to the room, but stayed by Lu Bingwen's side.

"Ahem......"

Xia Yan coughed when he got cold, Lu Bingwen touched Xia Yan's forehead with his hand, a little worried that Xia Yan would have a fever.

In the next second, a white fox fur appeared on Xia Yan's body.

Lu Bingwen asked Mao Xiaohei to take over the drums for him, while he patiently tied a beautiful bow tie for Xia Yan.

Xia Yan raised his head to look at Lu Bingwen, his small face was surrounded by a plush collar, and his cold eyebrows and eyes looked particularly exquisite. The mere fact that he stood there made the strange atmosphere around him gentle and delicate.

Xia Yan raised his hand and straightened his collar, and the jade ring on his ring finger complemented the cold temperament on his body. Lu Bingwen seriously admired Xia Yan's beauty, and after a long time, he whispered, "It's really suitable." ”

Xia Yan was stunned, then laughed and said, "Brother, why do you have so many clothes?" ”

Lu Bingwen's fingers slowly rubbed Xia Yan's lips, and said seriously: "Because I think that Madame is so beautiful, she probably looks good in anything." ”

At this time, the Yue clan had all come to the stone monument in Zhengjia Village, and seeing a large number of monsters moving towards a house, Yue Jing said, "What are they doing?!" ”

Yue Jing and his senior brother immediately recited the spell mantra silently, and several red rays of light flew to the Night Demon, but the Night Demon was unscathed and continued to hit the thick wooden door of Zheng Xiao's house.

"This ......" Yue Jing's senior brother frowned, "Senior sister, don't go in, it's going to be completely dark soon, we can't deal with them now, and it will be even more difficult to control the situation when the sun sets, so we can only let the two of them ask for more blessings." ”

With a loud "bang", several nocturnal demons finally smashed open the tall and heavy door of Zheng Xiao's house.

The monsters with their eyes rolling their eyes smelled the scent of humans, and all of them smiled evilly, and moved stiffly in the direction of the drums, and some of them licked their lips, as if they couldn't wait.

Xia Yan was about to let Mao Xiaotang rush forward, but Lu Bingwen leaned over and whispered to Xia Yan: "Madam, I'll teach you to summon a powerful divine envoy." ”

Xia Yan fluttered his eyelashes, carefully wrote down the mantra that Lu Bingwen taught him, and after listening, he looked at Lu Bingwen with some incredulity and said, "Ghost ...... Ghost King, is this something I can summon? ”
