"Evil cultivator?" Jiang Cheng's expression froze, and he immediately thought of the ghost hidden in the mist, "What kind of evil cultivator are you talking about?"
But the leading one-eyed man interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Don't ask if you need anything, I'll take you into the village first, although it's not the time yet, who can say those things accurately."
"Ah Sheng, go and inform the villagers that these are real people, so don't worry."
The person named A Sheng responded dully, then glanced at Jiang Cheng and the others, turned around and ran towards the bushes alone, and soon disappeared.
"Let's go too."
The one-eyed man straddled the harpoon, turned and walked towards the bushes.
"Wait." The fat man couldn't help but said, he turned his head to look at the nearby village in Chichi, and then looked at the dark bushes, "What do you mean, we... we are going back to the village?"
The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and explained: "The road in the woods is the road leading to the village. The road in front of you can't be walked, and it won't work."
"Why?"
This time the man didn't answer, but just urged them to hurry up, while Jiang Cheng seemed to understand something, squeezed the fat man's shoulder, and gave him a wink, the fat man obediently shut up.
They walked through the woods, and the seemingly remote road was not difficult to walk, because the grass on the ground had been trampled down, and it was obvious that people often walked on this road.
After seven turns and eight turns, everyone walked out along a stone wall, and a village came into view in front of them, which felt like seeing the moon through the clouds.
What made everyone feel more at ease was that at this moment, the village had already lit up a fire, and it seemed that the previous person had passed the news back.
The leader of the one-eyed man led them into the village, and walked quickly towards a yard, "I'll find a place for you to live in first, and it's almost night, remember not to open the door to strangers at night, people in our village don't Will go out at night, let alone call the door."
After finishing speaking, the one-eyed man knocked on the door, and there was a bang, "Sister Xiuling, sister Xiuling!"
After a while, the door opened a crack, and the woman opened the door a little wider after seeing the people coming from outside, "Brother Fuqing, Brother Asheng came here just now, we all know about it, Grandpa and I are the only ones at home. Here, it's no problem to stay with a few people.”
The woman is not very old, about 16 or 7 years old, her skin is healthy wheaten color, and her pretty face is mature that does not match her age.
The man called Brother Fu Qing didn't leave any ink marks, and left after a few brief explanations. The woman let Jiang Cheng and the others in, and after looking outside, she immediately closed the door, and then inserted a thick wooden stick into the door. superior.
Only then did Jiang Cheng and the others see clearly that it was said to be a courtyard, but in fact there were only a few dilapidated houses inside, and only one of them had light emitting from it.
After closing the courtyard door, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then led them to the other two rooms, "The room is a bit small, so you can live separately. Only Grandpa and I are here. You can stay here, don't be restrained, and , my name is Xiuling."
After talking about the woman, he planned to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng, "Sister Xiuling, we strayed into Guizhuang because we got lost, and I'm really sorry to disturb you. We don't know the name of Guizhuang yet."
"Wugong Village." The woman replied without thinking.
Hearing this, everyone was unconsciously stunned for a moment, and then inevitably a little disappointed. The fat man even wrote his disappointment on his face. He didn't expect that after tossing around for so long, he came to the wrong place.
What they were looking for was Daotou Village, not Wugong Village.
Jiang Cheng's expression was as usual, "Sister Xiuling, I don't know much about the customs of Guizhuang. I just want to ask, does Guizhuang have other names?"
The woman looked at him suspiciously, shook her head, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Have you heard of Daotou Village?" Shao Tong cut to the chase.
The doubts in the woman's eyes deepened, "No, is this village also nearby? Why have I never heard of it."
Seeing that the girl was relatively innocent, Jiang Cheng felt relieved. At first, he was worried that the word Daotou Village would cause taboos.
"Sister Xiuling, Fuqing and the others seemed to be in a panic when they came here just now. When they met us, they seemed to regard us as enemies. Do you know why?"
The woman who heard that she was about to leave frowned, "Why, they didn't even tell you this?"
"No, maybe we didn't hear clearly. After all, we've been on our way." Jiang Cheng prevaricated with a few words.
The woman stomped her feet fiercely, and said angrily: "Brother Fuqing and Brother Asheng are both stupid, why didn't you tell you about such an important matter, if something happened, then I will never forgive them in my life .”
Jiang Cheng's group didn't want to hear these things. They all looked at the woman, waiting to get some words out of her mouth.
Li Bai added fuel to the fire at just the right time, vaguely mentioning the word evil cultivator.
But in the next second, the woman's face changed instantly, she stepped forward and covered Li Bai's mouth, the panic on her face could not be faked, "Don't talk nonsense, it's almost night, be careful of those things. …”
After talking, the woman took them to a house. The facilities in the house were relatively outdated, but at least there were doors and windows. It could be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain. There was also a stove built of mud and stones to light a fire for warmth.
The woman stabilized for a few seconds, and then looked at Li Bai again, "You were lost in a fog, and then came to our martial arts village, right?"
"That's right." Jiang Cheng and the others nodded.
"Then did you encounter any bad things during this process?" The woman's eyes became strange, and even a little more panicked, "In the fog... did you find anything?"
"There are some very strange things~www.mtlnovel.com~ The reason why we lost the horse is because the horse was frightened, and the horse was afraid of those things." Jiang Cheng simply said it more bluntly.
The woman took a deep breath, "Those ghosts are evil cultivators."
"Why is it called this name?" Yao Shunyu asked: "And what are those evil cultivators?"
"I don't know the specifics. I only know that those evil cultivators were human beings before they were alive, and they were not ordinary people. They were Taoist priests who practiced Taoism. Something that is not a ghost."
"The mist was created by evil cultivators. They lurk in the mist, and they sneak into the village at night. Many families have killed their poisonous hands. That scene..."
Speaking of this, the woman suddenly couldn't continue, and bit her lips tightly, it seemed that she had fallen into a terrible memory.
