Chapter 582 The Strange Villager
Chapter 582 The Strange Villager
After hearing all the news, I probably know that there will be no overly powerful demons blocking the way, and the group of people should also separate after eating.
Xu Ziqing, Yun Lie and others joined the star slaves, and after the two looked at each other, they didn't say goodbye too much, and each led a group of followers, turned and flew away.
Xu Ziqing turned into a cloud of cyan light, leading the way ahead.
After about half a day, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the left and right, and more and more mountain peaks, but the towns are almost invisible—until passing through several extremely steep peaks, you can see a few small villages , After a while, it will be a rather quaint small town.
As early as when the group of people encountered the first steep mountain peak, they had already lowered the clouds, and instead used the usual wind-controlling technique to restrain their aura and float forward.
They had just arrived here, and they already found that on the top of the short peak surrounded by several high mountains, there stood a rather gorgeous palace, which was incompatible with the surrounding scenery.
But in that hall, there were bursts of devilish energy, which condensed into a layer of black clouds.However, although the black cloud is blood-stained, it only presses nearly ten feet above the palace, and it doesn't even cross the surrounding peaks.
Before anyone else could speak, Tong Ranran lost her voice and said, "So bloody, how many people did those demons kill?"
You Xiawen also frowned, and in her usual gentle tone, there was also a bit of anger: "The methods of the demons here must be cruel, otherwise they should not be filled with resentment! They should be killed!"
The other three male cultivators—Xie Tongde, Que Huan, and Xiang Man—were also very angry.
Although they are not upright and awe-inspiring and can't tolerate evil people at all, they also have some understanding of the way of evil.Just like what the two female cultivators said, a demon who can create a bloody black cloud probably has no conscience.
This kind of monster will only hurt people and kill people if it stays. The Zongmen issued the task of exterminating all the monsters, and there is really no injustice.
Xu Ziqing's expression was a little dignified: "It has been stated in the mission that the devil here has reached the multi-infant state, but the exact number of people is only a rough calculation, and it is more than a hundred. In order not to startle the snake, I will go to the ancient town to learn about it first. At night or at a better time, act again."
Moreover, I don't know if there is a greater force behind this sect, it is always better to be cautious.
Many star disciples are not reckless people, they just got angry, and now they are very cooperative.
So everyone didn't say much, just like Xu Ziqing, they restrained their breath completely, and even the light in their eyes disappeared.
Looking at them at this time, they are just a few ordinary mortals. Their temperament looks like young masters who go out to play, and the star slaves behind them uglify themselves even more. A sense of refinement.
Xu Ziqing looked at everyone carefully and nodded, "Be careful with your words, too."
These brothers and sisters from the same school all smiled and said: "Brother Xu, please rest assured!"
Ready, Xu Ziqing's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his mouth, and he walked slowly forward, surrounded by several men and women, admiring the beautiful scenery around them, while talking to each other, as if they really came to enjoy the landscape.
And those star slaves looked around vigilantly, as if they were on guard against something, pretending to be martial arts with some skills, Jia Er even revealed a little aura, making the illusion that he was close to the foundation building period—this kind of It is not uncommon among mortals to invite immortal cultivators with acceptable cultivation bases to worship and protect themselves.
Naturally, Jiaer's current status is nothing more than a casual cultivator with good aptitude who needs a family that needs those young masters to ask for a Foundation Establishment Pill from their own clan.
Not far to the right is a village that seems to be inhabited by hundreds of people.But in this supposedly not too small village, the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking has never been heard, which is obviously unusual.
It's just that a group of people playing the role of descendants of the aristocratic family traveling for fun shouldn't notice such trivial things.
Therefore, Xu Ziqing just didn't realize it, and walked slowly to the entrance of the village.
Everyone raised their eyes and frowned.
This village is so weird!
If we talk about poverty, there are quite a few earthen houses in the village, one family after another, and there are no thatched houses, shacks and other things.But if they were not poor, how could the child who poked his head out from between the earthen walls have a yellow complexion and dark brows?
And the peasant woman who was washing vegetables and laundry in front of that door also had a gloomy and lifeless face.
Xu Ziqing frowned, and signaled to a star slave: "Tonight, I will find a farmer's house to stay overnight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Ranran wrinkled her pretty nose, and yelled a bit coquettishly: "Second brother, this place is so broken, I don't want to live here!"
Among the three "sons" next to him, except for one who seemed to have admiration for another gentle girl, the other two also echoed: "Brother Xu, Sister Tong doesn't want to live here, let's go to another place." Already!"
Xu Ziqing sighed: "Alright."
The Star Slave who was signaled just now took a few steps forward immediately. He was relatively strong, so he grabbed an old man who was about to go back to the house and said, "Old man, do you know if there are better places nearby? The young master and miss are not used to this crappy place, you can show me the way, there is something for you to reward!"
The old man was very thin, and he took a few puffs of a dry pipe to suppress the panic just now: "A hundred and twenty miles to the southeast is Luojia Town. If you go there, you can always find a place to rest. , much better than this place..."
The strong star slave let him go, brushed his sleeves impatiently, and was about to leave.
The old man said anxiously: "Reward, reward?"
The strong Star Slave grinned, and stepped on the ground, causing a few cracks to open there: "Hey, you dare to ask for a reward from the master? I can't beat you to death!"
The old man turned pale and dared not speak.
Xing Nu performed a full set of plays, and hurried over to say a few words to Xu Ziqing.
As for Xu Ziqing and his group, it seemed that nothing had happened, but when they glanced at these villagers, they were also a little arrogant.Especially Tong Ranran, who was even more disgusted.
Soon they didn't stop, and quickly left in the direction pointed by the old man.
When the village had been completely left behind by them, Xu Ziqing's expression changed slightly.
In fact, everyone also released their spiritual sense, hearing the words of the villagers behind them, they could "see" clearly even their expressions and movements.
It turned out that after they left, a tall and thin man walked out of the door behind the old man and grabbed the old man.
The timid peasant woman next to her said hesitantly: "The village chief, the foreigners who went to the town didn't come back, you, you just let them go... Isn't this murder?"
Before the old man said anything, the tall and thin man became unhappy: "It's that foreigner who doesn't show face! He didn't even give the promised rewards, and he even frightened the old man. He deserves to be sacrificed to an immortal! Don't talk too much, beware of immortals!" Listen, I won't wait for three years, I will use you as a sacrifice!"
When the peasant woman heard this, she lowered her head and continued to wash the vegetables, not daring to speak.
The old man took another puff of his pipe: "It's a pity that those sons and gentlemen are gone. If they don't give rewards, they don't have anything to mention. These days, who cares about whom? If you say it, you may have to be beaten. Old man, I won't live long, no Dare to fight against the immortal!"
The slender man also snorted: "It's what it deserves! If the immortals like those foreigners, the three-year sacrifice in our village can be saved. Although it is for the immortals to have magical powers to protect our water and soil, but recently Fewer cubs are born, if the immortal doesn't like anyone, the harvest will not be good for another two years..."
As the intermittent words were passed on, Xu Ziqing and the others were thoughtful.
Those evil ways have indeed taken root here for a long time. Not only are the mortals in the village very accustomed to their existence, they even take this obviously inappropriate "three-year sacrifice" as normal... It seems that those evil spirits seem to be The people in the village are kept as livestock, and they pretend to be "immortals" to coax them on weekdays, and there is no meaning of "fishing in a dry marsh".
The group got a general idea of what the devil was doing, and then continued walking.
They encountered several villages on the road, without exception, they all pointed them to the nearby county town, and these villagers, like the first village, regarded the devil as a fairy and were used to offering sacrifices.
Bit by bit, from the mouths of these villagers, everyone knew something.
About every three years, these devils will ask many villagers to send the five-year-old children in the village to the town. At that time, some devils will come to investigate, and each village will choose one person as a sacrifice. take away.If a young child in the village is not selected, an adult man or woman will take his place.
These sacrificers have never returned, but every time after the sacrifices are taken away, there are always demons who show some tricks, such as raining, or adjusting other weather conditions, so that the villagers worship them as gods .
Xu Ziqing and others vaguely guessed that the newborn children who were taken away were probably born with spiritual roots, and if there was no person born in a village with spiritual roots within three years, the adult men and women who were taken away might be someone else. an encounter.
It's just that no matter what, it must not be a good thing...
But more news, the villagers don't know much, on the contrary they seem very ignorant.
And if it is said that every time a foreigner comes, they disappear in the county town, and the devil also chooses sacrifices in the county town, I am afraid that the county town is the strangest place.
If you want to know more about the devil, you have to investigate in the county and town.
Soon, the town was within sight.
At this time, everyone was more cautious and did not want to show their feet here.
