Chapter 20: The Mountain Village

Gaoyang Town is located in the northwest of Changping County, far away, and is a small mountain town, which is rarely paid attention to. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Xinming had nowhere to go when he left Changping County, and suddenly heard Senior Brother Zhang mention this, and his heart moved and followed, this kind of mountain village and town can just avoid the official forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The mountain road from Changping County to Gaoyang Town is relatively steep, and you can't see the end at a glance from a distance. The mountains are even more inaccessible, and I walked for 6 days without seeing a single village. The group of three walked in disgrace, Zhao Xinmin and Senior Brother Zhang could bear it, but Senior Sister Wu couldn't stand it anymore and kept complaining all the way.

That afternoon, when the group of three was on their way, they heard Senior Sister Wu shouting excitedly, "Senior Brother Zhang, there is a village over there." Zhao Xinming stopped and looked in the direction of Senior Sister Wu's finger, there was really a small village on the mountainside, with about forty families.

"Senior brother, let's go there for the night today. Senior Sister Wu looked at Senior Brother Zhang and pleaded.

"Okay. Senior Brother Zhang hurriedly agreed, and then looked at Zhao Xinming and asked, "Brother Zhao has no opinion, right?"

Zhao Xinming shook his head and agreed. Senior Sister Wu cheered and ran over first. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, Zhao Xinming found something strange, this village was too quiet.

Although Zhao Xinming has no experience in the rivers and lakes, he used to be a young master of the landlord's family, and he went to many large and small villages. In every village, there will be chickens and ducks, poultry, cats and dogs, and some children playing at the entrance of the village, but there is nothing in the village in front of him; and it is already evening, and there is not a single family in the village that makes a fire to cook, how can he not arouse his suspicions?

Senior Brother Zhang also found the problem, and stood at the entrance of the village and looked at Zhao Xinming, his face full of vigilance. Only Senior Sister Wu didn't find anything, and kept urging the two of them: "Why don't you leave, hurry." ”

"Senior sister, there is a problem in this village. Senior Brother Zhang whispered.

"Question, what question?" Senior Sister Wu asked with a puzzled expression.

"Senior sister, this village is too quiet. Senior Brother Zhang explained in a low voice.

"Too quiet?" Senior Sister Wu muttered, and then she reacted. Standing at the entrance of the village, he hesitated for a while, and pleaded: "Senior brother, it was not easy for people to come across a village. ”

"Brother Zhao, what do you think?" Senior Brother Zhang asked as he looked at Zhao Xinming.

"Brother Zhang, in my opinion, it's better to leave here. Zhao Xinming hesitated and said.

"Coward. Senior Sister Wu glanced at Zhao Xinming and muttered in a low voice.

Senior Brother Zhang looked at Senior Sister Wu's pleading expression, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zhao, why don't we go in first and leave immediately if we find any problems, what do you say?"

Zhao Xinming looked at the eyes of the two, so he had to nod and agree. Senior Sister Wu cheered and took the lead in walking in. The three of them searched the entire village, but they didn't see a single person, not even a chicken. But the strange thing is that everyone's pots and pans, bed boards are readily available. Zhao Xinming lifted the lid of the pot and found that the porridge in the pot was dry, but it had not deteriorated, and it should have been cooked in the past two days.

After walking around the village, it was already dark. Zhao Xinming was about to discuss the accommodation with Senior Brother Zhang, when Senior Sister Wu suddenly asked, "Do you smell blood?"

When Senior Sister Wu said this, Zhao Xinming also vaguely smelled something, nodded and said, "It's really a little." ”

"It seems to be there. Senior Brother Zhang sniffed around, pointed in the direction north of the village and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

As he spoke, the smell of blood became a little stronger. Senior Brother Zhang frowned and couldn't help but speed up his pace. The further you walked, the stronger the smell of blood became, and when you reached the edge of the village, there was a small forest in front of you, and it was from the woods that the smell of blood came from. Senior Brother Zhang stood by the woods and hesitated, but still walked in, and Zhao Xinming immediately followed.

As soon as he walked a few steps, Zhao Xinming saw Senior Brother Zhang lying in the bushes watching something, and Senior Sister Wu had already vomited beside him. Zhao Xinming pushed aside the bushes and looked forward, and couldn't help but spit out after just one look.

In a small clearing in front of the bushes, more than 100 villagers were hung upside down, covered in blood. More than 10 men dressed in black were interspersed and kept stabbing the more than 100 villagers with knives. There was a pile of corpses piled up on the edge of the clearing, both human and animal, and when they had been dead for a long time, they emitted a strong fishy smell.

"Brother Zhang, what are they doing here?" Zhao Xinming held back his nausea and asked in a low voice.

Senior Brother Zhang sighed and whispered, "Brother Zhao doesn't know, these people are practicing the way of killing. ”

"Brother Zhang, what is the way of killing?" Zhao Xinming asked curiously.

"That's a long story. According to records, the easiest and most effective way to cultivate the heavy turbidity is to kill, but excessive killing has led to a sharp decline in the population, and the strength of the empire has also been greatly affected, so all dynasties have strictly forbidden killing as a cultivation method. But there are always some people who do this kind of thing, and they have formed the current killing path!" Senior Brother Zhang paused for a moment and then said, "Among them, there are three most famous sects, and it is said that the heads of the sects are all alive from the ghost realm, and they are extremely powerful. ”

"Ghost Domain?" Zhao Xinming muttered, and asked again: "Is it the ghost domain at the junction of Qing, Liang, and Youzhou?"

"Yes, there it is. Senior Brother Zhang nodded.

Zhao Xinming secretly remembered it in his heart, and he had a new understanding of this ghost domain. Senior Sister Wu vomited for a while, and finally stopped, her face was pale, and even a little bluish.

"Senior sister, what do you say?" Senior Brother Zhang asked suddenly.

"The devil is crooked, and everyone will be punished. Senior Sister Wu said hatefully.

Senior Brother Zhang sighed and didn't speak, especially hesitant on his face.

Zhao Xinming didn't know what to do, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Zhao, whether it is the imperial court or our sect, it has always been a natural enemy of this kind of killing. The Qinglian Sword Sect also has a rule that when a disciple in the sect walks through the rivers and lakes and encounters this matter, he must take action to stop it. After speaking, Senior Brother Zhang looked at Senior Sister Wu with a worried face.

Zhao Xinming knew it in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry, he is willing to deal with this evil demon with Brother Zhang." ”

Senior Brother Zhang was immediately overjoyed, one more person and one more strength. Senior Brother Zhang made up his mind and rushed out with a loud shout, followed by Zhao Xinming and Senior Sister Wu. As soon as the three of them made a move, they each killed a big man in black, and they were about to chase and kill when they smelled a huge smell of blood.

Zhao Xinming looked up and saw a big man in black covered in blood rushing from the depths of the woods. The big man in black rushed to the front, and without saying a word, he waved his hand and slashed at Senior Brother Zhang. Senior Brother Zhang didn't know the depth, and blocked with a horizontal sword. With a "dang", Senior Brother Zhang snorted and took a few steps back, and a mouthful of blood protruded from his mouth.

Dahan struck a blow and slashed again. Senior Brother Zhang knew that this person's kung fu was far above his own, so he didn't dare to fight hard and fight with his sword. Zhao Xinming and Senior Sister Wu took the opportunity to kill 5 people again. The big man in black saw it in his eyes, his heart was anxious, and he made three points heavier, and Senior Brother Zhang soon couldn't support it.

Zhao Xinming didn't dare to delay, he waved his fist to rescue, and once he fought, he knew how powerful the man in black was. Dahan's knife skills are not much better than Liu Yunlong's, but the knife is full of internal strength. Zhao Xinming touched it a few times, but it was in vain, but the internal strength of the big man penetrated in, his whole body was restless, and the reaction of his brain was also a little sluggish.

suffered several losses, but Zhao Xinming didn't dare to fight hard, dodged, punched, and kicked improvised, and quickly adapted. The three of them fought together, Senior Sister Wu took the opportunity to kill 2 more people, and 3 people ran too far, Senior Sister Wu did not pursue, and turned around to besiege the man in black.

Under the siege of the three, the man in black gradually fell into disadvantage. After fighting for more than 30 times, seeing that the big man in black was gradually losing his strength, the big man suddenly shouted, reversed his right hand, and struggled to throw out the big knife and fly straight towards Senior Brother Zhang. "Dangdangdang" hit three times, Senior Brother Zhang took three steps back in a row, and took the knife with all his strength.

After forcing back Senior Brother Zhang, the big man's eyes were blood-red, and he punched Zhao Xinming with both hands. Zhao Xinming was worried about Senior Brother Zhang, so he couldn't cope with it for a while, so he had to take a few steps back and dodge. Dahan took the opportunity to use his internal strength to attack Senior Sister Wu with all his might. Where can Senior Sister Wu resist, she is about to die under her fist.

Zhao Xinming was in a hurry, flew up, and swung his fist to meet him. With a "bang", Zhao Xinming flew out upside down. The big man also stood unsteadily and took a few steps back, and Senior Brother Zhang got the opportunity and killed the big man in black with a sword. Zhao Xinming struggled to stand up, spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", only to feel an internal force explode in his body, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body fell soft.
