The environment in the valley is elegant, with mountains and water like a paradise isolated from the world. However, it is not dark yet but there is not a soul in sight. Every small green brick courtyard is quiet, as if the entire village has been abandoned.
Ye Chuan led Xiao Longer forward. Not long after, he came to a small green brick courtyard and knocked lightly on the door.
On the surface, this small green brick courtyard is no different, and it is also quiet. But without using any magical powers, the two of them could sense the presence of people in the house, and there were quite a few of them. Listening carefully, you could even vaguely hear someone's voice coming out. When Xiao Long'er knocked on the door, it fell completely silent and no one answered.
"Brother Ye Chuan, what should I do?" Xiao Longer turned around and asked.
"Keep on knocking until someone comes out." Ye Chuan ordered calmly. Since he came here, he naturally wanted to understand what was going on.
After a long time, rustling footsteps and a creak were finally heard from behind the door. The door opened from the inside and an old man with a gray beard peeked out.
This is an old man in his late seventies or eighty, with a face full of wrinkles. He carefully opened the door and looked at Ye Chuan and Xiao Longer with confusion, "Who are you and how did you get in?"
Seeing that Ye Chuan didn't look like a bad guy, and that Xiao Long'er, a child of only seven or eight years old, was accompanying him, the old man felt relieved, but his eyes were full of doubts. The Nine Palaces Array at the entrance of the village cannot be broken by ordinary experts. How did Ye Chuan and the two get in
"Walk in."
Ye Chuan smiled, bowed slightly and saluted, "This junior happens to know a thing or two about magic circles. He knows about the Nine Palaces magic circle that has been lost for a long time on the mainland, so he rashly walks in to stay. Please don't take offense, old man."
"Lodging?"
The old man shook his head. This is not a palace road. It is obviously abnormal for someone in the barren mountains to stay here. "No, you can go. Get out of here as soon as possible. The further away the better."
The old man closed the door while talking, but a big hand suddenly pressed on the edge of the door. Ye Chuan moved six or seven meters sideways almost instantly and appeared in front of him, "Old man, it's getting dark soon, and there are monsters running rampant outside. Just let go." We two brothers will stay one night. Let’s leave early tomorrow morning, how about that?”
"No, young people, it's not that I won't take you in, but..." The old man shook his head, looking embarrassed.
"Dad, why are you talking to them so much? Just blast them out, or let them find an empty house to live in. If they are killed by the Yinshan old demon, they can't blame us, they can only blame themselves."
A deep voice came loudly, and a tall man strode out. With a bang, he opened all the doors and looked at Ye Chuan coldly, with an unkind look on his face.
The old demon from Yinshan
What kind of monster is this
Ye Chuan's heart moved, and he would not leave easily. He was looking for powerful monsters everywhere. If there were any powerful monsters here, they would be there. Taking a closer look at the big man from the Iron Tower with a sullen expression, he felt a little surprised.
At first glance, the man from the Iron Tower has a burly body and powerful natural powers, and the power fluctuations in his body are also surging and powerful. He is not much different from the Balrog. He is obviously a real-person master. Such a master was so frightened by the so-called Yinshan Old Monster that his whole family hid and the village was almost abandoned. You can only imagine how powerful that monster is.
"Mushan, don't be rude, don't scare the guests."
The old man scolded his son loudly, shook his head, ignored the big man from the iron tower, and turned to look at Ye Chuan and said: "Sir, it's not that we don't take you in, but the village is really not suitable for staying here. Especially tonight, I'm afraid Yinshan That peerless evildoer, the old demon, is coming to steal people's souls again and asks you to stay. Old man, I don't mean well, but I am harming you. You two brothers should get out of here quickly, don't linger in the mountains, and get out of the mountains as soon as possible."
"What about you, why don't you leave?" Ye Chuan asked, probably understanding what was going on.
"Well, our ancestors of the Mu family have been living here for thousands of years. Every plant, tree, brick and tile are all left by themselves. How can you just leave with a family?" The old man shook his head. , his face was gloomy, as if he was a few years older and about to die. The tall man from the Iron Tower who was so aggressive just now also looked gloomy.
"Old man, there are a lot of people here, so just let us brothers stay for one night. It will be dark soon, and the monsters in the mountains are even more dangerous. It doesn't matter if I am alone, but my brother is still young. What will happen to him? The monster can't escape even if it's afraid of running away." Ye Chuan continued to plead, restraining the aura and power fluctuations in his body, and pretending to be an ordinary practitioner, "Don't worry, old man, the two of us are outer disciples of Yunwu Sect, this time He’s here to practice picking herbs, he’s not a bad person. You see, this is our badge.”
Ye Chuan took out a waist badge from his arms and showed it to the old man.
"It turns out it's a disciple of the Yunwu Sect. Okay, come in. But, the old man said it beforehand. It will be very dangerous tonight. The old demon from Yinshan will come at any time. If you encounter any danger unfortunately, don't blame us for not warning you." The old man shook his head. He turned around and led the way, taking Ye Chuan and Xiao Long'er to the woodshed, "You two young masters, the other rooms are already full, so I have to live here."
"It would be nice to have a place to stay. Thank you, old man."
Ye Chuan bowed slightly, winked, and settled down with Xiao Longer calmly. Faint human voices came again. Looking up, the wing rooms on the east and west sides and the main room were full of people. There were men, women, old and young. It seemed that the whole village was gathered here. From time to time, people looked over from a distance, wondering who was so bold as to come in and stay overnight at this time.
"I found out clearly that two outer disciples of the Yunwu Sect went into the mountains to pick herbs. One is less than twenty years old, and the other is only seven or eight years old."
"What a sin. You are only seven or eight years old. What should you do if you are targeted by the old demon from Yinshan? It's true, Mr. Mu. Isn't it harmful to let others come in at this time?"
"That's right, if it's a master from the Yunwu Sect, it's not bad. Maybe he can help us get rid of the old demon from Yinshan Mountain. I'm afraid these two little guys will be of no help. The young one will be killed. It's a pity."
…
People were whispering in such low voices that most people couldn't hear them, but they couldn't hide them from Ye Chuan and Xiao Long'er.
Xiao Longer was uneasy. He didn't know what kind of monster the so-called old demon of Yinshan was. He couldn't help but want to ask. Seeing Ye Chuan closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the ground, he had no choice but to swallow his words and follow suit. Eyes nourishing. With a creak, the small wooden door of the woodshed was pushed open, and a little girl with pigtails timidly came in carrying a basket, put it on the ground, turned around and left in a hurry, too shy to say hello. Waves of aroma came, and the basket was full of simple meals, but the color and fragrance were delicious and appetizing. Xiao Longer couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Eat, eat more. If you don't eat, how will you have the strength to catch monsters at night?" Ye Chuan ordered lightly and continued to sit cross-legged motionless while Xiao Long'er devoured it. The food brought by the little girl feels more delicious than the big fish and meat.
