Minghua Qiushi

The next day, the three Yujian came to Yuanjia Village.

Yuanjia Village is not far from Qingming Mountain. Although it is not within the range of Qingming Mountain's enchantment, it is affected by the enchantment field on weekdays, and there are almost no evil spirits.In addition, the Qingming Mountains have a mild climate, more rainfall, and lush forests.The villagers are self-sufficient in plowing and farming, hunting and fishing. Although their lives are not rich, they can be said to be very comfortable.The disciples of the Qionghua School who are in charge of logistics also often come to the village to buy rice and vegetables and to replenish supplies.Although Wang Qiu has never been down the mountain, he has heard his brothers mention it.

But this time, the three of them felt that the atmosphere was different from the past.Usually the village is quite lively, but this time it was deserted, and there were no people on the streets in broad daylight.The only inns and restaurants in the village are also closed.Because the disciple who summoned them had said that they would meet them at the village head's house, the three of them didn't dare to delay and went straight to the village head's house.

The village chief's family is the largest family in the village, so it is very easy to identify. After a while, the three of them joined the summoning disciple.

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Ye, and...uh...Junior Brother Nie, you're here. Village Chief Yuan has been waiting for you for a long time." A Liang, the messenger disciple, said.

Hey, hey, what do you mean by "...uh..." You obviously look at your brothers and sisters with bright eyes, but at me the corners of your eyes twitch, who do you look down on?snort!Wang Qiuxin said.

"Junior Brother Ding, you have worked hard, there is no need to delay, we will start an investigation immediately." The senior brother can even remember the name of this passer-by who doesn't know what level he is, and his memory is really terrible.

Just as he was talking, an old man greeted him from the house, it was the head of Yuanjia Village.The village chief probably had never seen such a battle before, and a few immortals with extraordinary temperament came, and they were at a loss for a while.Pingxuan inquired carefully about the situation of the victim, the process of the murder, etc., and the village head answered them one by one.

"Cunchang Yuan, so many people were killed at night or during the day, has anyone seen this monster?" Wang Qiu asked.

The old village chief said: "There are ordinary people in my village, no more knowledgeable than the fairy masters. They have been terrified when they encounter such a thing. Who would dare to take a second look."

"That... Brother Ning said that a person escaped, where is that person now? Can we go and have a look?" Wang Qiu said.

The old village chief's face turned slightly pale. He wondered if he remembered something terrible. He paused and said, "He was injured too badly and died. The villagers have already buried him."

"Buried? In such a hurry? So how do we check the corpse to find clues?" Wang Qiu said.

The old village chief wiped his sweat and said in a panic, "I'm really sorry, all the immortal masters, please forgive us rural folk for our ignorance."

Pingxuan said: "The village chief has worked hard, it's getting late, you go to rest first, and our brothers and sisters will discuss the matter of eliminating demons, so I won't accompany you."

"The immortal master rested earlier, please feel free to tell me if you don't greet well." After saying that, Village Chief Yuan left without being too polite.

After Village Chief Yuan left, Ping Xuan said, "What do you two think about this matter?"

Wang Qiu said: "The village chief asked a question and answered Bengdou. Why does it feel like we are forcing him to speak. The only witness died and was buried so early. Why panic!"

Qing Yu said: "From what he said just now, the victims have one thing in common, that is, they are all young men."

Pingxuan said: "Junior Sister said it is true, young men have the most yang energy, it is no coincidence that this evil spirit only catches young men. And according to what Junior Brother Ding said, the villager who escaped was black and festered, as if he had been severely wounded." demon poison."

"Black... senior brother, could it be a snake demon? Master said that there is a snake demon in the monster beast clan, and the poison is very powerful." Qing Yu said.

"It's not certain yet. There are many kinds of demonic poisons that can cause this kind of injury. We haven't personally checked the demonic poison and demonic aura on the corpse, so it's not easy to jump to conclusions." Ping Xuan said.

Wangqiu knew that seniors valued etiquette the most, and seniors who disrespected the deceased by secretly digging graves for an autopsy would never accept it, so he beamed and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, why don't you let me pretend to be a villager in Yuanjia Village, this monster only catches young men , I'm afraid he is a good man, as handsome as I am, he will definitely attract this guy, how about we just catch him now?"

"No! This evil spirit is extraordinary, what the junior brother said is too dangerous, absolutely not!" Ping Xuan said.

Wang Qiu knew that senior brother would never let him take risks, so he smiled and said: "Senior brother, let's pretend together and see how this monster tastes, whether it is to catch me as a naughty one, or you as a decent one."

"Junior Brother, don't joke around."

After all, the three of them changed into ordinary villager attire and inspected in the village, after all, the Qionghua Sect Taoist robes were too eye-catching.

At night, Wangqiu felt as if he was being dragged along by something in his sleep. It was like being on a boat, and it was wrong to say that he was on a boat. The feeling under his body was much softer than wood.Wang Qiu was startled, thinking that he should not startle the snake, so he still pretended to be asleep.It took him about half an hour before it stopped.Wang Qiu opened his eyes suddenly and saw that he was surrounded by a green snake-like monster, but for some reason he didn't tighten his grip.It is said to be a snake, but in fact it is just that the body is like a snake, and the upper body is a human body.Wang Qiu secretly observes, this is a bamboo forest, the sight is not bad under the moonlight.The snake was wounded, the body of the snake as round as the thickness of a tree trunk had a large festering area, it was very frightening.I don't know if I fell asleep or passed out, but I lay there motionless.

Wang Qiu pulled out his hand and patted him, "Hey, hey, are you dead?"

The green snake opened his eyes, saw that Wang Qiu was not afraid at all, and wondered, "You... aren't you afraid of me?"

"With such a serious injury, you can't protect yourself. I have nothing to fear. Besides, your wound is black and festered, just like the missing person in Yuanjia Village. You must not be the evil spirit who hurt people." And dragged him so far In the place where he was tired, he passed out, and Wang Qiu didn't feel any murderous intent. "Tell me, what did you drag me here for?"

Hearing that the green snake burst into tears, the upper half of its body leaped over and hugged Wangqiu's thigh tightly.Isn't this a serious injury? How can he move so nimbly? Wang Qiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Master Immortal! You have to help me! ~Hiss~" While crying, he spit out the letter, his appearance, uh~ a bit disgusting.

Wang Qiu said: "Speak well, don't cry!"

Only then did the green snake calm down, and said while sobbing: "It's all because I'm too handsome and suave. I was attracted by a female snake demon who lives in this bamboo forest. She caught me when I was skinned and unable to move. Forcing me, actually forcing...forcing me..." While speaking, he wiped his tears again, looking as if he couldn't bear the humiliation.

The corners of Wang Qiu's mouth twitched for a long time, and he thought, hey, hey, Brother Snake, you have such a sausage mouth with windy ears, beard and sausage, where is the confidence coming from?This female snake demon's taste is too... of standard.Wang Qiu said: "Didn't you escape? Why do you want me to help you? Help you heal your wounds?"

"My injury doesn't matter. Immortal Master, I left a very important item in that monster's cave when I was running away. Can Immortal Master help me get it back? I beg you," the green snake said earnestly. After all, I want to cry again.

Wang Qiu really can't stand a big man... er... male snake, weeping with such a face, and said: "Okay, don't cry! I'll help you! Anyway, we are here to get rid of this monster. But you How did you choose me? My senior brother and sister have much stronger mana than me, why don't you invite me instead?"

"Uh... I can't catch it even because of its high mana." Green Snake touched his head and said.

The corner of Wang Qiu's mouth twitched again, what he said was really unpleasant. "What? My mana is low, so I won't help you anymore, hum!"

"Master Immortal!" The green snake rushed over and hugged him again. "Actually... Actually, I found out that you have the aura of the demon spirit clan on your body, and thought that maybe you could... promise to help me."

"You are talking nonsense! Who is a demon! If I have the aura of the demon spirit clan on my body, how could my master not notice it? Are you underestimating the technology of our Qionghua sect?" Wang Qiu said angrily.

"No, no, calm down, Master Immortal. You misunderstood. I didn't mean that you are a demon. To be honest, I belong to the demon spirit clan, and I can perceive the aura of my clan. Moreover, your aura doesn't come from the inside out, which means You must be human. And..." The green snake looked puzzled.

"And what?" For some reason, Wang Qiu panicked.

"I also find it strange that this aura is like the aura of the royal family of my Demon Spirit Clan. The aura of the royal family is different from ordinary monster aura. Only the royal family members and the Su family who are full-time guardians of the royal family can perceive it. But it is impossible, the royal family is clearly in 100. Many years ago...just..." Green Snake said.

Wang Qiu said: "Do you think I am an ignorant child? Not to mention that the demon spirit clan was wiped out more than 100 years ago, and there are very few left in the world. And you look like a snake! There are many demon spirit clans. Transformed by a plant elf, you are clearly a monster! Make up a lie and make up a decent one!"

The green snake seemed to have had some ideological struggle, and after a while it seemed to make up its mind and said: "Master Xian, I think you are a good person, so I said that. In fact, my body is occupied... ah no... it is borrowed Someone else's. I am indeed a demon spirit clan, but the survivors of my clan have been hunted down by the demon clan for more than 100 years, so I had to..."

Wang Qiu saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and said: "Forget it, I believe you. Let's go, take me to your little lover's cave."

The green snake hurriedly said: "No, no, she is not my lover!"

Seeing his nervousness, Wangqiu was amused again, and one person and one snake set off to the depths of the bamboo forest.

"By the way, Brother Snake, what's your name?"

"In Xiasumu, may I ask the immortal master's name?"

"My name is Nie Wangqiu."
