Chapter 26: Up the Mountain

Xiao Cui Niang held the towel and smirked to herself.

The hairs on it were a treasure to her.

When you stare, your eyes are shining.

Lin Yi swept his eyes twice, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like the hair on an animal's body.

"Sister-in-law, can I borrow it, and I'll pay you back immediately. ”

Lin Yi pleaded.

Xiao Cui Niang was very easy to speak, and said with bared teeth: "Okay, remember me, this is my baby." ”

"Of course. ”

Lin Yi carefully took the towel and showed it to the villagers, asking what the hair on it was.

There are many hunters in the village, who often go to the mountains to hunt, and they are experienced and recognize it at a glance, saying that it is fox hair.

"Fox!"

Lin Yi was shocked, and the truth gradually became clear in his heart.

It seems that it is a fox demon who is haunting!

Last night, Lin Yi chased and killed the monster, and he was about to succeed in one blow, but it passed through the wall and escaped without a trace.

Of course, people can't get through the small hole at the foot of the wall, but the fox can.

It's all clear.

This fox demon is good at the art of change, and can turn himself into a human or a beast.

The five missing people in Chenjia Village fell for its witchcraft.

Whoever started the trouble should end it.

There is only one way to get Xiaozhu and them back to their original bodies: find the fox demon.

Lin Yi returned the towel to Xiao Cui Niang, and then thought hard.

He wasn't sure if the fox demon was still hiding in Chenjia Village, and it was difficult for him to decide what to do next.

The fox demon can change its appearance, and it is easy to hide in the village.

If it hides here, it becomes any villager or even a beast, and it is really hard to find.

If it runs, it's harder to catch.

Lin Yi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a perfect solution.

At noon, the sun was blazing.

When the villagers heard the news, they gathered one after another and had a heated discussion.

Nearly 1,000 villagers crowded into the open space in the village, crowded to the brim.

Even the third mother-in-law came on crutches.

The villagers are arguing about nothing more than the question of how to deal with the yokai.

Some people say gather everyone together and check them one by one, anyway, the big guys are very familiar with each other, and they are not afraid of the monsters.

Some people say that monsters can become domestic animals, so they simply slaughter all the cattle, sheep, pigs and ducks in the village, so that the monsters have nothing to hide.

At this time, the people who raised the cattle were naturally unhappy and scolded.

Nearly 1,000 people quarreled like a pot of boiling water, boiling the sky.

"Alright, big guy, stop arguing. The third mother-in-law smashed her crutches and stood up to take charge.

The villagers kept their mouths shut.

The third mother-in-law has a high prestige in the village, and her words are really useful.

"According to my wife, they all listen to the sermon. The third mother-in-law coughed twice, and looked at Lin Yi with a pair of cloudy eyes.

The villagers didn't argue anymore and looked at Lin Yi one after another.

It seems that Lin Yi is the last straw.

Lin Yi had been listening to their arguments, and said lightly: "The fox demon is unknown, he may have fled back to Qingqiu Mountain, and he may still be hiding in the village, everyone can't relax their vigilance, of course, there is no need to be a bow and snake shadow, a little demon can't become a big climate." ”

With Lin Yi's words, everyone felt much more at ease.

"If anyone has more livestock or any abnormalities, be sure to inform the poor road. ”

"In addition, the village guards continue to be strengthened and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

The villagers nodded their heads and shouted, "Yes, Dao Chief!"

They may have been a little skeptical about Lin Yi's ability before, thinking that Lin Yi was just like those liar mages who came to take advantage of the fire, but now they are convinced.

If it weren't for Lin Yi, they would never have known that the missing villagers had been turned into brutes.

The consequences are unimaginable.

"Dao Chief! Dao Chief!"

In the crowd, a peasant woman suddenly shouted, as if she was in a hurry.

Lin Yi glanced at it, "Say." ”

"Dao Chief, I have an extra dog in my family today," the peasant woman said with a confused face, "As far as this morning, I got up and saw a dog I hadn't seen lying in the yard, I didn't care, I just heard the Dao Chief say it and remembered, could it be related to monsters?"

Lin Yi frowned, "Your family is here?"

The peasant woman nodded, "I and the two people in charge of the house, the head of the house went out early in the morning, and there was nothing to do." ”

"You're in charge?"

Lin Yi had never seen this village woman.

"Dao Chief, she is the village chief. The third mother-in-law interjected.

Lin Yi had a bang in his head, looked around, and found that there was no shadow of the village chief in the crowd.

There was such a big incident today, and the village chief was not there.

The villagers also found out that something was wrong, "What about the village chief?"

"Where?"

"I saw him at noon. ”

"I've also seen that the village chief seems to be in a hurry and runs out of the village. ”

Lin Yi suddenly felt bad and hurriedly ran to the village chief's house.

The villagers followed behind and rumbled through the alley like a group fight.

When he arrived at the village chief's house, Lin Yi pushed the door and entered, and saw two dogs tied to the courtyard.

One is a big yellow dog, with a lot of scars on his body, and he should have been beaten by the village chief last night.

The other was a black dog, and when it saw Lin Yilai, it jumped up and down excitedly, barking in its mouth.

"You're the village chief?"

Lin Yi asked.

The black dog wagged his tail and nodded desperately.

Really!

Seeing this, the village chief's daughter-in-law rushed over and cried on the ground, "Ouch, the master, why did you become a dog, I still talked to you this morning!"

Lin Yi sneered, "It's a fox demon." ”

Obviously, the village chief's daughter-in-law saw the village chief this morning was transformed by a fox demon.

What the villagers saw, and what Lin Yi saw, were all fox demons.

What a cunning youkai!

Lin Yi immediately called the people guarding the village and asked about the whereabouts of the village chief.

Two young men guarding the back of the village said they had met the village chief.

At noon today, the village chief came to the village in a hurry and said that he wanted to leave the village.

If it was an ordinary villager, they would naturally block it, because the village chief wouldn't let anyone out.

But the village chief himself said that he had an urgent matter to go up the mountain, so they didn't dare to ask more and immediately let him go.

Hearing this, everyone understood that the fox demon turned the village chief into a dog, transformed himself into the appearance of the village chief, and fled.

"Dao Chief, what can I do about this?"

The villagers were helpless, and their eyes turned to Lin Yi.

In their eyes, this Taoist priest of the Taikoo Temple is the savior and a living bodhisattva.

Lin Yi was calm and had already made a decision.

Now that the fox demon has fled back to Qingqiu Mountain, there is only one way: go up the mountain.

"I'll go up the hill and get it. ”

When the villagers heard this, they all showed worries.

"Dao Chief, my wife picks a few clever hunters in the village and asks them to go up the mountain with you. The third mother-in-law said.

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight young strong men stood up and volunteered to go up the mountain with Lin Yi.

They often go hunting in the mountains, are familiar with the terrain, and are good at catching wild animals.

Lin Yi shook his head, "The fox demon is not an ordinary beast, you can't help, just go by yourself." ”

It's too cumbersome to take these villagers, and if you really fight with the monsters, you will drag him back.

"Dao Chief, can you do it?"

"Be careful!"

The villagers are becoming more worried.

Lin Yi smiled slightly, "It's just a little demon, the poor Dao is here." ”

He's not arrogant.

If there is a danger to his life, there is no need for the villagers to say more, Lin Yi himself will be far away from Qingqiu Mountain.

In fact, Lin Yi and the fox demon have fought each other, although the fox demon has the skill of change, but it is not a little demon in the end.

Lin Yi pinched four thunder talismans, and it was enough to deal with it.

What's more, what is Qingqiu Mountain?

It was the territory of the mountain gods.

With the support of the mountain god, Lin Yi is more confident.

After deciding, Lin Yi immediately set off.

He took a map given by the villagers, and while it was still early, he hurriedly left Chenjia Village and embarked on a winding mountain road.
