"Youkai, let my grandfather go!"

The little boy showed his fangs and his eyes turned red, standing not far away, staring viciously at Miao Ling behind the old man, his face full of bitter hatred.

When the old man saw him, his face turned pale immediately, and he waved his hand in panic: "Xiaobao, go quickly! Don't come here, this monster will eat people!"

Zhao Xun and the others looked at this scene, and their faces showed a trace of weirdness, some inexplicable feelings.

"Youkai, I'll fight with you!"

Tears flowed from the little boy's eyes, and his body trembled with fear, but his face was full of hideousness, and he roared angrily and rushed towards Miao Ling fiercely.

Miao Ling was slightly stunned, and couldn't laugh or cry: "When did I become a monster, but you, it looks a little like you." ”

With that, she waved her robe, and suddenly a gust of wind swept by, directly blowing the little boy to the ground, unable to get up.

"Xiaobao!"

The old man screamed, struggled to his feet, ran to the little boy, and helped him up.

"Old man, we are not monsters, we are disciples of Qingyuan Sect, and we came to kill the demon cultivators of Black Cloud Mountain. Miao Ling walked in front of the two and explained.

"Disciple of Qingyuan Sect?" When the old man heard this, his body suddenly shook, and he looked at her with wide eyes, but his face was full of disbelief.

Zhao Xun also walked over with Sun Qiang, with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "Old man, we are indeed disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, this time we were ordered to come to kill the evil Demon Refining Sect cultivators, if you don't believe it, you can see our token." ”

With that, take out a dark green wooden plaque. Handed it over.

The old man trembled and took the wooden card, glanced at it, and then his face was full of excitement. Xi said: "It's really a monk of the Qingyuan Sect! Oh, old man, I'm blind, I blame you wrong, it's really damned." ”

Zhao Xun smiled, glanced at the quiet little boy beside him with a strange look, and said, "It's okay, the old man doesn't have to take it to heart." But here we go. You think we're monsters, what the hell is going on?"

The old man glanced at the four of them and calmed down his flustered emotions. Fang sighed and said slowly: "In the past few days, there have often been monsters in our village, and those monsters are changing. It's hard to prevent. There are already three families in the village that have been eaten by him, and there is only a skeleton with Bai Sensen left on the ground, so it's not scary!"

At this, the old man's face turned pale, and his eyes flashed with horror.

"Man-eating youkai?"

When Zhao Xun heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face: "According to our information, the Yin Spirit Son of Black Cloud Mountain is just captive and refining corpses. It shouldn't be a cannibal, could it be that there is another demon cultivator here?"

Sun Qiang said with a solemn face: "Senior Brother Zhao." Since it's cannibalism, could it be a monster or something like that?"

Zhao Xun glanced at him, nodded, and said, "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at the old man and said, "Old man, when does that man-eating monster usually appear?

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "It usually appears at night, but its appearance has not been seen by anyone, and everyone who has seen it has died." ”

Zhao Xun raised the corners of his eyebrows, looked at the deep mountains in the distance, pondered for a moment, glanced at Yang Que and the others, and decided: "Let's spend the night here tonight, let's wait for the man-eating thing, and help the villagers get rid of it, and maybe it's the ghost of the demon cultivator." ”

Sun Qiang and Miao Ling nodded, with a smile on their faces, and said, "Let's listen to Senior Brother Zhao for everything." ”

Yang Que listened to the old man's words, and thought of the scene he had just seen in Heiyun Mountain, his eyes showed a strange light, but the look on his face was extremely calm, and he said, "I naturally agree." ”

Sun Qiang snorted coldly and glanced at him, his face full of disdain.

Zhao Xun smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then we will decide like this, but tonight, let's not just separate casually, just get together, so as not to have an unexpected situation and not have time to gather." ”

All three nodded in agreement.

Zhao Xun turned his head to the old man and said kindly: "Old man, we want to live in the village tonight, I don't know if you have a place there?"

The old man's face was full of joy, and he said continuously: "Yes, yes, a few young heroes of the Qingyuan Sect want to help us get rid of the monsters, even if we don't live in a village, we have to make room for you." ”

He smiled, his face was wrinkled, and said to the little boy beside him: "Xiaobao, go back and inform your sister that there are four guests from the Qingyuan Sect who are going to stay in our house tonight, so let her clean up the house quickly." ”

The little boy glanced at Zhao Xun and the others curiously, agreed, turned around and ran into the village happily.

Sun Qiang watched the little boy's back disappear, and couldn't help but ask the old man, "Old man, your grandson looks a little weird, shouldn't he be an ordinary human?"

When the old man heard his words, his expression suddenly darkened, and he smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "A few little heroes don't know, speaking of which, my grandson is also pitiful." Back then, my daughter-in-law first gave birth to a girl, and when she was finally pregnant with Xiaobao, her husband fell ill and died. When she was three months pregnant, one night, she was suddenly abducted by a monster that came down from the mountains, and she has not been seen since. A year later, she suddenly fled back to the village and gave birth to Xiaobao, who herself died. ”

Speaking of this, there was a sadness in his eyes: "Usually Xiaobao is the same as ordinary people, there is not much difference, that is, he is in good health and eats a lot of food, but when he is angry or emotional, he becomes the same as he just looked." But don't worry, Xiaobao is kind-hearted and has not hurt anyone. ”

Miao Ling listened to it interestingly, and said with a smile: "Although this kid looks a little fierce, he has no offensive power, so we naturally won't take it to heart." ”

Zhao Xun saw that his face showed nervousness, and he also smiled and comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid, old man, we will only deal with those who are heinous, and there will be no ill will towards your grandson." ”

The old man's face was full of gratitude, and he looked at Zhao Xun and said: "The little man of Qingyuan Sect, it really lives up to its reputation, let's go, don't stand here, let's enter the village quickly." ”

Immediately, he took the four of them into the village and came directly to the dilapidated courtyard at the head of the village.

Entering the small courtyard, a fifteen-year-old girl with a good appearance immediately greeted her, and said with a happy face: "Grandpa, these are the monks of the Qingyuan Sect, and their temperament is really different from the people in our village." ”

The old man smiled and said, "That's it, how can those people in our village compare with these little heroes, little jujube, hurry up and cook some meals to entertain, don't stand here and be stunned." ”

The girl grinned, her face was slightly red, and said, "Grandpa, I still envy a few brothers and sisters, and I also want to join the Qingyuan Sect like them." ”

The old man's face turned pale, and he was about to scold, but when he saw the girl grinning, he hurriedly turned around and entered the house, and said inside: "Grandpa, don't be angry, I'll cook." ”

The old man glanced back at Zhao Xun and the others, smiled helplessly, and said, "This girl is naughty, come in and sit down." ”

The four of them entered the house and sat down.

Sun Qiang couldn't help but glance at the busy girl a few times, his face showed doubts, and said to the old man: "Old man, your granddaughter is so old, since she hasn't been robbed, could it be that her cultivation is very high?"

He had seen both the old man and the little boy just now, and only the lowest level of the Psychic Realm was cultivated, which was of little use, so he asked this question.

The old man turned over the dry tobacco stick, knocked the cigarette ash on the table, and said with a smile: "She is a third-level psychic cultivator, where is it high, but this girl's talent is one of the best in our village, but there is no suitable exercise for her to practice." ”

"The reason why she is still safe at home is because our village is relatively united, after many years of fighting against the demon beasts in the mountains, all the families in the village are advancing and retreating together, and they will never do anything to betray the people in the village. So this girl has been hidden by us in the village, no one has spread it, and no outsiders have ever seen it, and it is very safe. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "I see." ”

Sun Qiang retracted his gaze at the girl and said, "Then there should be many men in your village who want to marry her, right?"

When the old man heard this, his face was full of pride, and he said: "That's nature, my girl is so smart, those guys in the village are loved by everyone." Many boys have met to compete, and the victorious ones are qualified to chase her, and they may not be able to get the favor of this girl. ”

Speaking of this, the old man sighed and said, "Actually, Xiao Zao's mind is not in the village, she yearns for the outside world, and she likes Qingyuan Sect even more, and she wants to join there every day in her dreams." Hey, it's a pity that she is incompetent and has no strength, so she didn't dare to take her out of the village, for fear that other monks would see her halfway and snatch her away. ”

Sun Qiang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Old man, this matter is easy to do, after we kill that monster, let Xiao Zao follow us, and we will take her back to Qingyuan Sect." ”

"Really?" the old man was full of excitement when he heard this, "A few little heroes are really willing to help and take Xiao Jujube to Qingyuan Sect?"

Sun Qiang smiled, and was just about to nod, when his heart suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly looked at Zhao Xun next to him, and said with a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Zhao, look ......"

Zhao Xun glanced at him meaningfully, smiled, and said to the old man with an expectant face: "Senior Brother Sun is right, let's just take her along the way, anyway, Qingyuan Sect generally does not refuse to come to women, I believe that there is no obstacle for Xiao Zao to join Qingyuan Sect." ”

When the old man heard this, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly wanted to stand up and kowtow to thank him, but he was stopped by Sun Qiang and said enthusiastically: "The old man doesn't need to be polite, we are disciples of the Qingyuan Sect, and it is right to help you." ”

Zhao Xun also nodded and said, "Old man, please sit down." ”

Yang Que sat quietly in the corner, listening to their conversation without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the busy girl over there, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, revealing a faint hint of mockery. (To be continued......)
