Chapter Seventy-Three: Long Xiao
At night, everyone in the Gu family had already fallen asleep, but Gu Dengming had not come back yet.
Lin Jing gently pushed open the door, glanced in the direction of the other three rooms of the Gu family, and then climbed over the wall and walked out of the Gu family.
In the dead of night, the lights still shine on one of the buildings in the far center of the valley, and torches flutter on the outskirts of the village, near the mountains.
The valley at night has a different kind of beauty than the daytime.
During the day, the valley is purple, but at night, it is as red as blood. The moonlight seems to be particularly bright here, and the walls on the ground are full of bright red flowers, swaying in the breeze, as if it is the soul of a person who is shaking.
Sha Ying's home was not far from the Gu family, and the family was already asleep when Lin Jing touched it.
Lin Jing recognized the room of the master's house, quickly opened the window, jumped in, and as soon as his feet landed, he turned around and caught the window that was about to fall, and then gently lowered it without making a sound.
The room was very dark at night, but Lin Jing was familiar with this kind of darkness, and everything in the room was reflected in his eyes as if it were day.
Hearing the breathing, Sha Ying and his wife had already fallen asleep, and the bed was blocked by a screen, which was convenient for Lin Jing, even if the two woke up suddenly, they would have enough time to let themselves leave.
Lin Jing gently pulled out the cabinets in the room, rummaging through everything that might be connected with the bandits, but he searched everything and found nothing, there were some things that were only available in the outside world, but none of them had anything to do with the bandits.
Seeing that he didn't find it, Lin Jing looked at the side of the screen, thinking of her mother, she likes to hide her most precious things under the bed, will Sha Ying do the same?
Lin Jing lightly walked around the screen, then lowered his body and rolled into the bottom of the bed.
Sure enough, there was something!
Bumped into a box in his hand, Lin Jing didn't make a move immediately, feeling that the two breaths on it were still calm, he tiptoed to hold the box.
The palm of his hand groped and touched the lock, Lin Jing frowned slightly, the lock was on it, it was very simple for Lin Jing to open it, but that would break the lock, Sha Ying woke up, and knew that someone had entered his room, and the people of the Junzi Kingdom would never do this kind of thing, they usually don't have to close the door at night, so the only one who has doubts is himself, an outsider.
It's good if Sha Ying really has something to do with the bandits, but if not, it's still light to be driven out of the valley.
Lin Jing never imagined that he would one day be a gentleman on the beam, which violated his principles.
However, although principles are more important than life, there are some things that are more important than principles, and we have to do it at this time. Lin Jing was thinking of a reason for himself, and then he smiled bitterly at his hypocrisy.
When I put away my thoughts and was thinking about how to open the box, I suddenly heard a strange noise that shook the entire valley.
Oh~
A dragon's roar pierced through the nine heavens and shook the entire mountain range.
Sha Ying and his wife were awakened suddenly, Sha Ying comforted the lady, and then put on his coat and walked out, there was a noise from far and near outside, and the lights suddenly became bright.
"Daddy, mother, mother......" A child's frightened cry came from the room not far away, and Shaying's lady immediately got off the ground and hurriedly went out to see her child.
When the door closed, Lin Jing rolled out from under the bed, his face was shocked: "This is the cry of the eight-winged dragon?"
After looking at the empty room, Lin Jing grinned, but he was grateful to this divine dragon.
Lin Jing put his hand under the pillow and touched it, and his face suddenly became happy: "In the future, tell A-Niang not to put things under the pillow and the bed, how easy it is to guess." ”
The arm was withdrawn, and there was an extra key in the hand.
After dragging out the wooden box from under the bed and opening it with the key, he saw that it was not a precious thing, but some letters, some gadgets from outside the valley, which should have been a gift from a friend when Sha Ying went out, so it was treasured, and the content of the letter was just a greeting between friends.
Lin Jing couldn't help but be disappointed, at this time the noise outside became even stronger, and he even heard the roar of the beast.
Beast Roar?
Lin Jing hurriedly returned the wooden box and key to their original places, opened the window and turned out.
Outside, the lights were bright, and many people got up and walked out of the street to watch, a crawling shadow swayed in the village, and at some point, the first scream sounded in the valley.
Lin Jing's heart tightened, this cry came from the Gu family, the villagers in the valley didn't know Xuangong, so no one noticed a figure flying over the roof.
"Yue'er...... Yue'er ......" The woman's cry came into his ears when Lin Jing landed, making him feel even more uncomfortable. Could it be that something happened to Xiao Yue'er?
Lin Jing came to the door with a voice, only to see Gu Panfeng grabbing a shovel and leaving in a hurry with a large group of people, leaving only Gu Sister-in-law alone, with tears in her eyes, anxious and sad.
Lin Jing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened? Did something happen to Yue'er?"
Sister-in-law Gu said sadly: "My Yue'er, Yue'er was captured by the mountain ghost. My Yue'er... My Yue'er ......"
Sister-in-law Gu's eyes turned black as she spoke, and she almost fainted to the ground, Lin Jing hurriedly held her up and asked, "What mountain ghost, where did you go?"
Sister-in-law Gu couldn't cry, she only had her poor daughter in her mind, and she couldn't think about anything else, so she stretched out her finger and pointed in the direction of the mountains and forests in the distance.
Lin Jing helped Sister-in-law Gu to sit down by the door, and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, go over and take a look, with Brother Gu and them following, it will definitely be fine." ”
Said and thought about it, he didn't go out first, but returned to the room where he was resting, this kind of thing happened, Zun Wuyi didn't come out to see the excitement, the mountain ghost must be very dangerous, thinking of Mingyue Lake, Zun Wuyi avoided the experience of letting himself be captured, and the mountain ghost must be a monster that can threaten his life.
Lin Jing pushed open the door and saw Zun Wuyi lying lazily on the bed, and was slightly stunned when he saw Lin Jing: "You didn't even go to save people?" ”
Lin Jing didn't say a word, and walked over directly to pick her up in the exclamation of Zun Wuyi.
Knowing that there is danger, he naturally wants to bring this "pressure on the bottom of the box" trick.
Zun Wuyi was hugged by him, his face was rarely blushing, but he didn't resist, and his body was soft and let Lin Jing rush out with her.
The closer you get to the forest, the more you can hear the roars of beasts and the sounds of fighting.
When they got closer, they saw a group of strong men in the village holding shovels, wooden sticks and other tools, guarding the wooden wall less than a foot long, resisting the invasion of wild beasts.
It's just that they are not warriors, and they can barely deal with wild beasts, but in the group of beasts that rushed into the wooden wall, there were many demon beasts between them, although they were all very low-level demon beasts, but they also broke through the defense line many times, jumped on the wooden wall, and bit a few villagers from time to time, and then they were beaten down by the strong men who rushed to the scene with wooden stick brooms.
When Lin Jing arrived, three people had already died.
"Let go, let me out, Yue'er, my Yue'er has been captured. Gu Panfeng's eyes were red, and he desperately tried to jump out of the wooden wall, but was stopped by a few villagers.
"Ah Feng, calm down, you rush out now just to die, and when the beast retreats, we will go into the mountain together and help you get Yue'er back." ”
"Waiting for the beast to retreat?" Gu Panfeng gritted his teeth and said, "When the beast retreats, where will I find my Yue'er...... Ah, Yue'er......"
The other people were silent, in fact, even if the beast retreated, they were not able to bring Yue'er back, recently the mountain god often roared, and every time he roared, he would cause the frightened beast to escape from the mountain forest, bringing disaster to the village, and there were also mountain ghosts, and the people captured by the terrifying mountain ghosts never came back.
Lin Jing jumped onto the wooden wall with Zun Wuyi, and the villagers who were originally struggling to resist a demon roe deer that jumped on the wooden wall only felt a cold light flash in front of him, and the incomparably difficult demon roe deer suddenly turned his head in a different place.
The villagers were slightly stunned, and saw that the young man who came to the village as a guest was holding a sword-like object wrapped in cloth, but it was a little too large in the young man's hand, and his other hand was holding it weakly, and the movements were strange.
The villagers immediately reacted, it was the young man who killed the demon roe deer, and he killed the demon roe deer in an instant, they didn't have time to be surprised, Lin Jing kept a strange posture with a false hug in one hand, and the villagers who were originally watching him only felt that the young man suddenly disappeared in front of him.
The sound of popping sounded one after another, and the villagers who were resisting the beasts suddenly found that they had lost their opponents, and when they looked down, they saw that the corpses of wild beasts and demon beasts were lying all over the ground under the wooden wall.
Lin Jing's figure reappeared, standing on the wall, his cold eyes swept down, and those beasts that were far away suddenly stopped, as beasts, they keenly felt a terrifying death pressure coming, as if as long as they took one step closer, they would fall into the deep pool of death.
Beasts are extremely sensitive to danger, so sometimes, it is very easy to be frightened, Lin Jing just stood there, his eyes swept away, no demon beast dared to approach, the breath on his body was released, and suddenly only the demon beast with low strength immediately turned around and fled, and the other beasts also fled as if they had encountered those big demons in the mountains and forests.
"Fortunately, there are no too strong demon beasts. Lin Jing couldn't help but think of the beast tide when Zun Wuyi broke the seal, especially even a monster with full wisdom like the firearm red ape appeared, which was called terrifying. Thinking of this, she glanced at Zun Wuyi, she was very quiet at the moment, her head was lowered, and her face was a little shy.
The corners of Lin Jing's mouth twitched, she had taken advantage of her so much, and she had never seen her shy.
When the villagers saw the beasts retreating like ghosts, they all opened their mouths wide and looked at Lin Jing like monsters.
Lin Jing ignored them, walked directly to Gu Panfeng and asked, "Brother Gu, where was Yue'er arrested?"
Gu Panfeng was full of thoughts about his daughter's safety, so he was not too surprised, and when he heard this, he knelt down and begged: "Lin Gongzi, you are strong in martial arts, save my poor daughter, she was captured by a mountain ghost." ”
Lin Jing saw that he was messed up, and hurriedly helped him up and repeated, "Where did the mountain ghost go?"
Gu Panfeng opened his mouth, his face was even more sad, and the other villagers immediately said: "The whereabouts of the mountain ghost are unpredictable, and we have not caught up with the people in the village before. ”
Lin Jing sighed slightly, and then said: "You take care of this place, in case the beasts return, I will go into the mountain alone to look for it." ”
Gu Panfeng grabbed Lin Jing's arm tightly and said, "Lin Gongzi, take Gu Mou, Gu Mou will save Yue'er even if he fights for his life." ”
Lin Jing shook his head and said, "Don't waste time, it's more convenient for me to chase after me alone." ”
Lin Jing's meaning is obvious, with an ordinary person like Gu Panfeng, he can't keep up with his speed at all, and if he really encounters a mountain ghost, Gu Panfeng will become a burden.
The other villagers also persuaded each other again and again, Gu Panfeng was also in a anxious mood, and after being reminded, he also thought of this, did not insist, and knelt down again: "If you want Lin Gongzi to do dangerous things for the little girl, Gu is ashamed, no matter whether you can save the little girl or not, you are the great benefactor of Gu's family." ”
Lin Jing was helpless in his heart, when was it? These people didn't know that the matter was urgent, and they were still rambling a lot.
Lin Jing responded, no longer talking nonsense, his hand shook, the strip of cloth flew upside down, revealing a pitch-black heavy sword, Lin Jing held a sword in one hand, held Zun Wuyi in the other, and in the exclamation of the villagers, jumped off the wooden wall, and swept into the mountain forest in a few jumps.
