The sky was getting dark, and the beautiful red-edged clouds in the sky were graying out.

In the open space in front of a simple thatched house at the end of the village, Su Yuzhen set up a kettle to boil water to make tea, Su Yu gently handed a cup of tea to the girl, the girl looked at Su Yu seriously, and took the teacup handed by Su Yu.

"Don't go out after dark. ”

Su Yu gently blew the tea stalk floating on the water.

"Hmm!"

The girl nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The scene is harmonious and beautiful.

Su Yu knew that most of the reality was not beautiful. When Su Yu first entered the village, he felt that something was not right, and he always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the village.

The villagers were still enthusiastic, and the food at the old village chief's house was still light and delicious, but the depression reflected in the sky was too obvious, and Su Yu also smelled some blood.

When he first met with the old village chief, Su Yu asked if there was anything strange happening in the village, and the old village chief said that the poultry in the village has been particularly sensitive recently, and the chickens and dogs have jumped from time to time, and the livestock of several families have disappeared mysteriously in the past two days, and the villagers all guessed that they should have been taken away by the beasts in the mountains and forests next to the village.

Today, the village is quiet very early, everyone has quickly finished their dinner, there is no more smoke coming out of every house, and some families have already begun to turn off the lights and go to bed.

This is all because the old village chief has just urgently summoned the eleven families in the village and said: No one is allowed to go out after dark tonight, and it is better to even turn off the lights.

The girl drank the last sip of tea in the teacup, and the sky finally darkened completely, so the girl returned the teacup to Su Yu and returned to the thatched house.

In the north, the night breeze in early summer will still be a little cool, Su Yu gently put down the teacup in his hand, added some firewood to the fire, and poured a cup of tea in his hand, the fragrance of tea overflowed.

It's only early summer, and it's not too early to get dark, but at any time, except for the burning pyre in front of Su Yu, there is no light in a radius of more than ten miles.

The only place of fire at this hour, I believe everyone will be very curious!

Su Yu reached out to the burning pyre and picked up a straight and long piece of firewood, gently stirring the other firewood, and suddenly the fire in the pyre became even bigger.

The cold wind blows the long hair and headbands that are tied up.

However, it is possible that the cold wind is not just a simple cold wind, but it can also be a yin wind.

The flames drew a beautiful curve, and I saw Su Yu suddenly hold the burning firewood in his hand and wave it gently, slamming towards the left side.

With a soft "bang", a pitch-black shadow flew out with the sparks that fell from the firewood and fell heavily to the ground.

Su Yu raised his hand and looked at the firewood, the flame on the firewood did not go out or became smaller, and even looked more intense.

The pitch-black shadow dragged out a black tail like a swift black snake and swam in the direction of the mountains and forests outside the village.

"Don't go so fast when you come!"

The speed of the shadow is fast, but Su Yu's speed is even faster.

I saw the firewood in his hand poke down hard, and the firewood penetrated the shadow, and actually stuck the shadow that did not look like an entity on the ground, and the flames on the firewood continued to burn the dark shadow. Love 999

"Immortals spare their lives!"

A hoarse voice rang out.

Calcining the spirit with a fire is also unbearable, not to mention that the firewood on the firewood may be a mortal fire, it must be the fire of Su Yuxiao's palace, so the pain of calcination instantly burned this shadow and shouted for mercy.

Su Yu pulled back the firewood and carried it on his shoulder, not afraid of the shadow running away, and asked softly, "Reason." ”

"I have never hurt a single person since I became a ghost, and I don't want to go out of the mountains on weekdays, but now I have no choice but to come out of the mountains and forests to find some living creatures to return to the mountains. ”

The shadow-like ghost on the ground gradually turned into a village woman in coarse linen clothes, and her voice was no longer as unpleasant as before, but even if her voice was much softer, it still had a slightly hoarse feeling, and of course it was not good.

"Aren't ghost creatures dependent on Yuan Qi cultivation to survive, why do they need living creatures?" asked Su Yu puzzled.

"Immortals, don't you know, the vitality in the mountains has been abundant recently, but because of this, many birds and beasts who feel that something is wrong have fled, and a friend of mine is giving birth at this time and can't escape, so ......"

"Abnormal vitality?"

Su Yu frowned slightly, and indeed found that the vitality was indeed much more abundant than a few months ago.

Su Yu didn't know much about the reason for the sudden increase in vitality, at present, Su Yu only knew that when demons were born from the center of the earth, they would bring out a large amount of vitality, but there was no obvious demonic energy nearby, and there were so many cultivators from the north and south of the plains, if there were really demons born nearby, it would be impossible not to know.

"What's going on......"

Su Yu stroked his chin, but unfortunately he didn't know enough knowledge, no matter how hard Su Yu thought about it, he couldn't think of any clues, so he could only look up at the female ghost.

The female ghost is dressed in sackcloth, and she looks like she is in her thirties, but she is full of charm in appearance, I don't know if it is the reason for becoming a ghost or other reasons, this female ghost actually has a noble temperament.

"Who were you when you were alive?" I have to say that this female ghost aroused Su Yu's curiosity.

The female ghost was uneasy after hearing Su Yu's words, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense or reply, so she could only answer truthfully: "Hui Immortal, I was the wife of the village chief in this village before I was born, but I didn't mean to disturb anyone in the village, but now I have to make this decision......

"Okay, needless to say, what the hell is going on?"

Su Yu shook the firewood in his hand and extinguished the fire, then casually threw the firewood into the fire on the side, and carefully observed the female ghost, but not because she was the dead wife of the old village chief, but because Su Yu had never seen a female ghost in the real sense.

In the previous world, if I had seen this scene, I would definitely not believe it, and it is indeed not easy to believe such a ridiculous thing in a family that admires science.

"My friend is a black bear, it's not a goblin, it's just an ordinary black bear, but it's about to give birth, and it can't leave the den or go out to hunt. ”

Suddenly, the female ghost's voice pulled Su Yu back from her somewhat chaotic thoughts.

"Well, I guess I understand. Su Yu touched his chin, "If you are let go like this, you will only have to go back to the village next time to steal chickens and dogs, and the beasts in the mountains and forests are not easy to live without the nearby hunters, so let's go investigate why this is happening, and you can help me ask your black bear friend what he can feel." ”

"The immortals didn't lie to me, did they really let me go and help me investigate the affairs in the mountains?" the female ghost was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"You don't have any killing intent on you, and you're still my friend's old friend, so don't talk nonsense about slaying demons and killing demons!"

Su Yu raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, the sky was full of stars, I don't know if the light marks that crossed the sky from time to time were the sword light of the flying sword or the shooting star, among the so many cultivators who came to the Northern Expedition, maybe he and Li Minghai were really the only ones who returned on horseback!

"Actually, it's not all about helping you, since you can call me an immortal, then I naturally have the responsibility of being an immortal. ”
