Chapter 12 Shenjing Village
The tall man took two steps back, his expression uncertain. However, when he heard Liu Feifei's condition of cutting off his arm, his eyes immediately showed fierceness. Suddenly, he swung his axe twice. This is a gesture made with the crossbowmen who are in ambush on the mountain.
The tall man swung his axe a few times, but the mountain did not respond, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Brothers, run away!" the tall man turned around with his men to escape.
How could Zeng Wei and the four of them give him a chance, they pounced, swung their long swords, and killed the two in a blink of an eye.
"I'm fighting with you!" the strong man saw that he couldn't escape, brandished the axe in his hand, turned around, and slashed over.
"Huh!" Suddenly, a sword light flew out, and Liu Feifei shot out a flying sword talisman. This talisman is not very effective against tiger spirits, but it is powerful against mortals.
With a "bang", the sword light flashed, the axe was cut in half, and half of the strong man's head was cut off, and the sword light continued to penetrate, and penetrated the chest of a robber behind him. Blood splattered, and the bodies of the two robbers slowly fell to the ground. The last robber looked emaciated, and fell to his knees with a puff, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
At this time, Wang Yicheng and Li Mu on the mountain also came down, each carrying a bow and crossbow in their hands.
Seeing the bow and crossbow, Zeng Wei and Liu Feifei's faces changed slightly.
"What a despicable bandit, you still want to sneak attack, I'll kill you!" Liu Feifei, with a round look in her eyes, raised the long sword in her hand and was about to chop it.
"Spare your life! The little one is the villagers of Shenjing Village, and they really can't live, so they fled here to be a robber!" the last robber pleaded with snot and tears.
"Shenjing Village!" As soon as they heard these three words, everyone reached out to stop Liu Feifei. They were about to go to Shenjing Village to complete their mission, and this robber was from Shenjing Village, so he happened to inquire about the situation.
"You are a villager from Shenjing Village, why can't you survive and become a robber?" Wang Yicheng asked.
"My name is Wang Xiaoer, I work as a farmer in Shenjing Village, and I used to have a good life, but ......," the robber cried and told the reason.
It turned out that a few months ago, someone suddenly disappeared in Kamii Village, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it at first. But then more and more people disappeared. The village began to panic. Then there were animals that had died tragically, as if they had been bitten alive by something. And, most terrifyingly, it starts to be haunted at night. According to Wang Xiaoer, he had seen ghosts with his own eyes, and it was really terrifying. He and many of the villagers fled the village, and he had no other skills but to become a robber.
"I haven't killed anyone, I'm just running errands for the big boss, you can spare me!" Wang Xiaoer began to plead again.
Wang Yicheng and Zeng Wei glanced at each other and said, "We are going to Shenjing Village to investigate some things, you lead the way, if you behave well, we can not pursue you as a robber." ”
Wang Xiaoer had no choice but to nod and agree. Everyone went back to the village to retrieve the horses, and by the way, asked the villagers to notify the nearby Xiuzhen family to come and collect the bodies of the robbers, proving that they had completed the task.
In the evening, everyone rode slowly to the village of Shenjing. As the sun sets, a golden glow illuminates a small village in the valley. The grass on the hillsides on all sides was verdant, dotted with small flowers, like a huge turquoise carpet, spreading from all sides to the edge of the village. From a distance, it looks very beautiful, like a landscape picture.
Walking into the valley and approaching the village, I immediately felt an abnormality in the village, and it was evening, but there was not a single house in the village that emitted smoke. Walking into the village, it is surprisingly quiet, there is no voice, and there is no sound of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, cattle and sheep and other poultry and livestock. The whole village was dead silent, with iron locks hanging on the doors of the houses, and half-man-tall artemisia grass growing in the yard and at the gate. Wang Xiaoer is right, in this village, all the people who are not missing have escaped, and the entire village is almost abandoned.
Everyone asked Wang Xiaoer to lead the way, and took a turn around the village, the village was silent and terrible, and the living creatures they occasionally saw were mice. Wang Yicheng noticed that the bones of some animals could be seen in the artemisia grass, Bai Sensen, who had been dead for an unknown amount of time. Somehow, Wang Yicheng felt that these bones did not look like they had been bitten to death by wild beasts, and looking at the marks on them, they looked like human tooth marks.
Entering from the south side of the village and walking to the end of the north side, Wang Xiaoer pointed to a well and said to everyone. The legend of this well is a thousand years old. Legend has it that a thousand years ago, a god suddenly fell from the sky and fell into this well, and since then, this well has been called the Divine Well. Since then, the village of Kamii has gradually become a village.
The mouth of the well is very wide, with a diameter of five meters, and the edge of the well is made of large stones. Covered with green moss, such a large well is not easy to see in a small village.
Li Mu went to the well and looked down, it was pitch black, and he didn't know how deep it was. I threw a pebble down, and it was a long time before I heard the sound of landing.
"So deep!" Li Mu exclaimed.
"This well is dry!" Wang Yicheng noticed that the stone did not hear the sound of water when it fell.
"Alas, this well has been watered for hundreds of years, and it didn't dry up until a few months ago, which is probably a sign of the decline of our Shenjing Village!" Wang Xiaoer lamented.
Everyone didn't notice anything, and walked back along the same road, and suddenly two people came in the distance in front of them, the twilight was hazy, and they couldn't see clearly, but they could see that it was a young girl and an old man.
"There are still people in the village!" Wang Xiaoer was also very surprised.
Slowly approaching, suddenly everyone was surprised in unison, and they pouted together, this girl has a beautiful face and a slender figure, and everyone has not only seen it, but also is very famous. When he joined the mountain gate and tested his qualifications, he was the only first-class qualification that appeared, and finally Shen Ling, who was personally accepted as a disciple by the head of the sect.
Everyone looked suspicious, and the first thought was that Shen Ling also took over this task. However, as a first-class disciple, she is the object of the mountain gate's key training, and she still cares about this spirit stone. I heard that even the disciples with second-class qualifications who entered the mountain gate were given more than thirty spirit stones every month, and the Qi Condensing Pill was even issued once every two days. As for what treatment Shen Ling will have with first-class qualifications, he doesn't need to think about it.
Everyone didn't speak, but Liu Feifei, who was outspoken, couldn't help it, and asked urgently, "Shen Ling, are you also going to do this task?"
Shen Ling shook his head with a smile and said, "I was originally from this village, and I heard that something unfortunate happened in the village, so I came over to take a look." ”
At this time, Wang Xiaoer also shouted loudly, "You are the sister of the Shen family, you are finally back!"
Seeing that Shen Ling really just went back to the village where he lived to take a look, instead of competing with everyone for the task, everyone's faces softened slightly.
"Little Er, what's going on in the village?" asked Shen Ling.
Wang Xiaoer cried and cried and told what happened in the village, Shen Ling went out from this village and joined the Xianmen. In the eyes of these villagers, they are as omnipotent as immortal masters, and now when they see Shen Ling, they feel that the village is saved, but they don't know that Shen Ling is just a Qi refining disciple.
It was getting dark, and Wang Xiaoer led everyone to his home. And Shen Ling and her grandfather have their own residence in the village.
Wang Xiaoer's house has not been inhabited for several months, and a musty smell is blowing in his face, and there is a thick layer of dust on the tables and chairs on the kang, and there are cobwebs everywhere. The crowd had to find a place to meditate.
Liu Feifei complained: "After this night, let's go back! The mission didn't say that we should find out the reason, anyway, we can go back to the village to make a difference!"
Everyone also felt that this village was a little scary, and they all nodded in agreement. Speaking of Shen Ling again, everyone was a little excited. Gathering in a broken village with the pride of the sky, I really didn't expect it.
Wang Yicheng faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, how could it be so coincidental, but as soon as they entered the village, Shen Ling and her grandfather also came.
"I'm going to look around the village and see if there's anything out of the ordinary. Wang Yicheng said to everyone.
"Come back early, watch out for ghosts. Liu Feifei said with a smile.
"If there is a ghost, I will catch one and give it to you as a gift. Wang Yicheng said and showed his white teeth and made a vicious shape.
Amid the screaming laughter of everyone, Wang Yicheng walked out of the house. He didn't go around the village to investigate, but went straight to Shen Ling and his grandfather's residence.
Shen Ling's home is in the east of the village, and the house is also overgrown with artemisia grass, which is very easy to hide. From a distance, the dim oil lamp in the room flickered slightly. Through the paper window, on both sides of the oil lamp are two black shadows, one old and one young, like paper-cutting in a shadow puppet play.
Wang Yicheng walked lightly to the window, bent down, and listened to his grandfather's incessant coughing sound from the window.
"Alas, Miss, how many times have I said, don't care whether these mortals live or die, you just don't listen. "Grandpa's old voice came from the room.
Wang Yicheng's heart moved, why is it called "Miss", the two of them are not grandchildren.
Sure enough, Shen Ling's crisp voice came, "Grandpa Jin, I just can't rest assured." I want to cry when I think of the former playmates in the village, and the kind smiles of many elders, who are now suffering. ”
"Alas, Miss, your qualifications are very good, but your temperament is too bad. Now that the lord is slowly regaining his power, sooner or later you will have to return to your family and take charge of a world. Not to mention these ant-like mortals, even the Southern Heaven Sect, or the entire South, what is it?"
Listening to the old man's proud tone, Wang Yicheng was secretly surprised, what is the origin of this Shen Ling, it seems that he is not a native of this village.
In the paper window, Shen Ling shook his head and said, "I can't do it, I can't treat those people in the village who are good to me as ants, if they are good to me, I will be good to them." ”
The old man also seemed helpless, and muttered a few words in a low voice, "There is no way" and said: "You cherish these mortals, but you must also do what you can! This village is very strange, and it seems that there are very dangerous things." After I was injured, my power has been sealed, and it can't help you. And those teenagers you hired are of little use to me......"
Hearing this, Wang Yicheng suddenly realized that the person who issued the task was Shen Ling. She is from this village, and it makes sense to issue such a mission.
