The carriage of the Nine Elders turned left on the official road, entered a forest path, and stopped in front of a village.

Luo Tian didn't expect that the Ninth Elder didn't go straight to Shangjing along the official road, but stopped in front of this small village that always felt a little weird, but after all, he was taking someone else's car, so he didn't care.

But obviously the Nine Elders cared very much, so as soon as the car stopped, the Nine Elders directly opened the curtain and stepped out with a calm old face.

The Nine Elders had to care. The reason why Long Hao was allowed to come back before was precisely because of this reason why he did not fight with Luo Tian and the four of them.

"There is a report in the clan, and there is a monster in this village. ”

There was already a special person waiting next to the carriage, but it looked a little out of tune.

Although it was a line of people lined up to greet them, the people standing in the crowd were tall and short, fat and thin, and in various postures, some with their heads bowed and their eyes closed, as if they were asleep; some looked like they were ignoring them, and they were still looking like they were doing their manicures with care, and some were at a loss, and the key was the feeling that everyone felt at a loss. Anyway, there are all kinds of things, and the loose team looks like it's not going anywhere.

But after all, there is still a sensible one.

"The Great Qiantian Guard's right command made Chai Bugu greet the Holy Clan Elder. I saw a burly man with a full beard at the front of the team kneeling on one knee and said respectfully. Immediately, I only heard the sound of Suosuo, and the people behind bowed down one by one, although the movements were scattered, but after all, there was still a little appearance.

The Holy Clan naturally refers to the Dragon Protector Clan.

The Ninth Elder let out a soft "um".

Then Chai Bugu got up and hugged his fist at Long Hao behind the Nine Elders.

Long Hao didn't dare to slack off, bowed and saluted, and said, "Protect the dragon and guard Long Hao, see the commander of Chai." ”

The group walked into the village under the guidance of Chai Bugu, with the Nine Elders in front, Chai Bugu took a small step slower on the right side of the Nine Elders, and Long Hao followed behind the two.

Luo Tian deliberately fell behind, still curious about Chai Bugu's sentence "Da Qiantian Guard", so he had to catch up with Lei Dong who was slightly ahead in a few steps, and bowed to Lei Dong.

Lei Dong was expressionless, but his lips still trembled slightly, understanding that Luo Tian was still an idiot under this big cadre power pattern, so he had to explain helplessly.

The three guards in front of the emperor: the dragon guard, the Tiance guard, and the Tianshu guard.

The dragon guards are all from the dragon protection family, and the first thing is absolute loyalty to the king, and the duty is naturally just a simple guard.

As the first avant-garde of the Imperial Palace, the status of the Dragon Guard is naturally extremely noble.

Under the dragon guard is the Tiance Guard, which is strictly screened out by the forbidden army of the capital, guarding the safety of the palace and defending the key points of each palace.

Under the Tiance Guard is the Tianshu Guard, the only member of the Three Guards who is composed of people from all over the rivers and lakes, and it is also the most frequent guard in the outside world among the Three Guards. Most of the personnel in it are hidden in various places of the cadres on weekdays, from the romantic and elegant people to the three religions and nine streams, capable people and different people, unyielding, they can fight on the battlefield, and they can also investigate cases. However, internal promotion is the most strict, even to the point of harshness, with permanent left and right commanders.

The three guards can be said to be the king's personal guard, in fact, they are only responsible to the king, and the Tianshuwei is undoubtedly the most famous spy agency of the Daqian Dynasty, and it is simply the spy among the spies.

In front, Chai Bugu first hugged his fist to Long Hao, and he was naturally the dragon guard in front of the Tianshu Guard.

And Long Hao's bowing and returning the salute was entirely because of Chai Bugu's own seniority, and another thing was to respect Chai Bugu's integrity and courage.

It's a huge village, but there is no half of the village along the way.

Luo Tian and Lei Dong walked at the back of the team, the difference was that Lei Dong looked ahead, walked steadily, sonorous and powerful. And Luo Tian sometimes walked quickly, sometimes stopped, looked left and right, twitched his nose, grabbed the soil on the ground, rubbed it in his hands, and handed it to Lei Dong.

"Big man, sniff, do you smell a strange smell? ”

Lei Dong lowered his head, sniffed carefully for a while, frowned and asked, "Strange smell?" ”

Luo Tian took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the lid, poured a little dirt on his hands, and then slowly sprinkled the soil, wiped his hands repeatedly, and said in a very disappointed manner: "It's the smell of your young lady's urine stepping on the snow." ”

Lei Dong glanced at Luo Tian with some anger, "snorted", and strode away.

In the middle hall of the largest house in the middle of the village, the Nine Elders closed their eyes and thought after listening to Chai Bugu's report, but their brows never let go from beginning to end.

The process of reporting is very short, nothing more than a story about the village.

The village has a strange name "Ancient Village", half a year ago, the people of the ancient village died one after another, and there were no wounds on their bodies, but the death was particularly terrifying, and even many people died as if they were haunted by nightmares while sleeping.

The more than 300 people in the village all died within half a month, and it can be said that none of them escaped, which is even more terrifying.

After the local prefecture and county found out, the catcher sent wave after wave, all of which returned in vain. In desperation, he could only report layer by layer, and after hearing it, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, and the Tianshu Guard had to come and go this way.

Although the Heavenly Guards came, they still couldn't figure it out, and the worst thing was that the Heavenly Guards had lost six agents in vain in the past month, all of whom were silent and struggling to death.

There was really no way, Chai Bugu had no choice but to ask the Dragon Protector Clan for help, and the Nine Elders and Long Hao were the closest to the ancient village, and then the clan rushed over after an urgent report.

In the evening, Xue'er carried a pot of steaming broth and followed Luo Tian into the outer hall.

"It's really not easy to catch some game in this broken place, but fortunately, the Tianshuwei can produce a lot of people! The big brother called "Flying on the Grass" is not only good-looking and handsome, but he also hides a bodhisattva's heart and sent us half a wild boar leg. Luo Tian walked slowly to Huomu and said.

"I stewed a pot of pork rib soup directly, Lao Mu, come, you taste it first. As he spoke, Luo Tian first filled a bowl of fire wood, and the aroma was splashing.

Then Luo Tian gave Xue'er another bowl, Xue'er licked the soup on the side of her mouth, salty and light, squinted, as if immersed in the aroma of steaming, but the complaint in her heart has not stopped since she entered the door, "Luo Tian, you are really getting more and more shameless, this soup was obviously burned by me, and you snatched it before it was completely stewed." ”

"Who?" Just when Luo Tian was still hooking shoulders with Huomu, talking and laughing, he remembered an obviously discordant voice.

Luo Tian swallowed a mouthful of soup slowly, looked at Dugu Chunyu, and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare your old man." ”

When Dugu Chunyu heard this, he was immediately angry, stomped his feet in front of Luo Tian, and said angrily: "What about mine?

"I said, Miss, don't you get in my way, okay?" Luo Tian licked his lips and filled himself another bowl.

Everyone looked at Luo Tian and Dugu Chunyu, where are you arguing with each other, these two are pinched again.

What's even more annoying is that Luo Tian is still blowing hot air while talking, and he also stops from time to time to enjoy it, "It's so fragrant, Luo Tian's soup is so fragrant!" and then winked at Dugu Chunyu.

Dugu Chunyu was even more angry when he saw Luo Tian's obviously cheap appearance, but he was helpless, he didn't raise his hands or put them down, and suddenly his eyes turned, he came to Huo Mu's side, squatted down and shook Huo Mu's shoulders and shouted: "Uncle Mu, he, he bullied me." ”

Huo Mu put down the coarse porcelain bowl in his hand, and was shaken slightly by Dugu Chunyu, "Like, it's so similar, it's really like the young lady back then!"

Dugu Chunyu saw that he ignored himself, but he was still distracted, and he snorted angrily, blushing and sitting on the other side.

Huomu hurriedly coughed, "Luo Tian, let's give Xiao Nizi a bowl too." As for the gentle method of my wooden formula, we are thinking about it in retrospect. ”

Luo Tian put down the soup bowl and smirked on his face, "Lao Mu! that's you, if it weren't for your face, I would definitely ignore her." ”

Then, with a touch behind him, he took out a bowl, but it was indeed not a little smaller than the large bowl in Huo Mu's hand.

"Don't say I didn't listen to Lao Mu. There's not much meat in this soup, but I've bled you to a piece. ”

Dugu Chunyu drank the broth slowly, his movements were elegant and decent, but he thought in his heart: This soup is really good, the meat is also quite delicate, it melts in the mouth, it is actually better than the one at home, I can't imagine that this hypocrite has good cooking skills. By the way, I didn't forget to give Luo Tian a smug look.

At this moment, I saw a person floating into the outer hall, "Flying on the grass." ”

Then only a "poof" sound was heard, and Dugu Chunyu directly spit out the soup in his mouth.

Who's flying on the grass? That's you?

Isn't it good-looking and handsome?

I saw people coming, that is, the flying hair on the grass was scattered, the oil stains were there, the face was full of hemp, and the mouth was still twitching, and what was even more eye-catching was that he was short and thin, just over four feet, right, this, not as tall as himself?

Don't bring such scary?

Then Dugu Chunyu looked at Luo Tian again, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: If you don't buffle people like this, the difference is too big!

"Brother grass, grace, grace. Didn't I say it before? A handsome person like you must pay attention to his demeanor. Luo Tian pointed to the grass and gave the other party an encouraging look.

"Brother Luo, I, I have a name, don't be a grass brother, the grass brother keeps calling. The grass flew straight, and with his right hand, he shook a small piece of hair that had fallen down in a very dashing manner.

"By the way, Brother Luo, do you still have that powder? "A pair of eyes sparkling on the grass are shining, and they all know what a man understands.

Dugu Chunyu turned around, trying not to look at the face of the grass on the fly, but he still felt a little sick to his stomach, and said unhappily: "A stingy person like him would actually exchange with you? After speaking, he still had a disdainful face, but when he thought of the word "medicinal powder" in his heart, he despised someone to the extreme.

"No, Brother Luo just changed a pig's thigh and a pig's whip to me. The grass patted the dirt on his body, trying to be as elegant as possible, "Huh, this young lady, this woman can't eat this thing indiscriminately." After speaking, he pointed to Dugu Chunyu as soon as he bit down a piece of shredded meat and put it in the bowl.

"Hmm, women can't eat indiscriminately?" Dugu Chunyu was a little puzzled.

"Luo Tian, I'll kill you. I saw Dugu Chunyu throw the soup bowl in his hand to the ground, and threw himself at Luo Tian, who was laughing on the side.

The curtain of the door was lifted, and Huojin stepped out of the inner hall.

"Master Luo, the master is invited. ”

The Nine Elders paced around the room, looking a little impatient.

"Brother, what's the matter with me? Let's talk about it if we have something!" Luo Tian sat directly on the stool, and naturally poured himself a cup of tea.

"You should feel the strange smell of this village after dark, and I want you to help me find the source. The Ninth Elder said in a deep voice.

"No, I'm afraid of the dark, and I'm even more afraid of death. Luo Tian hurriedly waved his hand.

"Who's that, brother, I'll leave first, you're resting. Luo Tian drank all the tea, stood up and walked towards the door.

"A month later, the door of the Sibei Pavilion opened, and the location was on our way back to the capital, and I happened to have three invitations, so I can give you one. The Ninth Elder sat down, looked at Luo Tian and said.

"What's in it for you?"

"If you have that chance, you may get a mangwen pill at that time, which is rumored to have the effect of resurrecting the dead, although it is too exaggerated, but there are still some real materials, which are very good for your body. "Elder Nine is not so anxious, tempting him to take advantage, not afraid that you will not agree.

"Deal. ”

Luo Tian walked out of the inner hall, suddenly remembered something, quickly turned back, and asked the Ninth Elder excitedly: "Brother, there are so many capable people, why did you take a fancy to me?"

"Because among so many people, your nose is as smart as a dog. ”
