Rebel general Xiao thinks of this seat

On a winding mountain road, firewood was scattered all over the ground. The woodcutter saw a drop of blood suddenly splashing in front of him, and his trembling couldn't stop.

His legs were so weak that he suddenly heard the panting of a beast behind him, and his heart collapsed immediately. His legs were limp and he sat on the ground, not daring to look back!

"Excuse me, how do I get to Wushan Village?" Qingyue's male voice came from behind.

The woodcutter was taken aback, man?Not a goddess?He looked back, his eyes widened!He was shocked, because he, a countryman, had never seen such a good-looking man!

Mo hair tied up with a jade crown, wearing a blue and white robe of excellent texture, tall and thin, but more importantly, that face!

Kong Zaijin asked again indifferently: "How to get to Wushan Village?"

The woodcutter struggled to stand up, and said very cordially: "My home is in Wushan Village, young master, do you want to come with me?"

Kong Zaijin nodded: "I'm sorry."

As soon as he saw Kong Zaijin, the woodcutter knew that he was the young master who escaped from everyone.Wiping the dust from his hands on his trouser legs, he smiled awkwardly and flatteringly: "Master, are you going to Wushan Village to find someone?"

Kong Zaijin's tone of voice did not fluctuate, giving people an illusion of indifference to the world: "Traveling so far, I heard that there is a mountain village nearby, and I want to take a rest for a few days."

The woodcutter dragged away the bloody beast that Kong Zaijin killed with a few swords, presumably for rations.He laughed and said, "Is that so? Why don't you come to my house to rest. My house is a bit small, so please don't mind me."

Kong Zaijin didn't expect someone to offer him a place to stay so soon, so he agreed without thinking too much.

The woodcutter seems to be a chatterbox, and has been talking to Kong Zaijin about trivial matters at home, such as the family's big yellow dog suddenly not eating, whether the vegetables in the field were not stolen because he did not grow them well, and so on.

Kong Zaijin was not interested in this, but was still dragged by the woodcutter to chat, so he could only end the topic with a "hmmmm".

At this moment, Kong Zaijin bumped into the hunter who was passing by.When the hunter heard that he was going to Wushan Village, his expression changed drastically and he fled in despair.

Now, when the hunter saw Kong Zaijin and the woodcutter, his face was distorted, and he ran away as if he had seen a ghost in daylight, with smoke under his feet.

Kong Zaijin had a panoramic view of the hunter's expression, and heard the woodcutter say with a smile: "That guy, Ah Rou, is really rude. He doesn't even say hello when he sees me. Human feelings... have faded!"

Kong Zaijin was coldly looked down upon by green peacocks in the peacock's territory, and then was taken away by the demon king, so he has a different view on human relationships and sophistication.He could tell that the hunter's eyes were fear, not "diluted humanity".

He didn't give a monosyllabic answer this time, but asked, "Old man, is that your friend?"

The woodcutter said: "I used to bump into him when I was chopping firewood. I greeted him a few times and drank a few times. I think the old man is just greedy for my wine, hahaha."

The woodcutter smiled and talked about himself again.

Kong Zaijin glanced at Wushan Village, which was already showing its outline.Strange to say, near evening, no one raised smoke in Wushan Village, and the evening wind lifted the thatched roof that was in disrepair, and rolled down a few dry thatch.

The thatch scratched on the ground, making a numb rustling sound.

Just a gust of wind revealed the real scene of Xiaoshu's strangeness in the small village.

The woodcutter took no surprise and led Kong Zaijin into the village.

As soon as Kong Zaijin entered the village, beside the cracked earthen wall and in the dark window, several pairs of vigilant eyes looked up and down this outsider who was so good-looking that it was almost unreal.

The woodcutter led him to his house.Suddenly a plump woman came out with her hips akimbo, looked at her eyes, and smiled in surprise: "Yo, Old Chai, which young master is this?"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the small mountain village seemed to come alive. A few scrawny little girls leaned against the wall, staring at the handsome young man fascinated.

The woman patted Lao Chai on the shoulder and joked, "Which young master did you abduct into our village?"

Old Chai didn't know if he was crushed by the firewood or beaten by the woman, he was a bit shorter.He grinned: "No. The young master is here to rest."

The woman looked at Kong Zaijin, seeing him nodding for confirmation, she said: "Go to the village chief's house to rest, the old man still has a spare room, how about staying there?"

Before Kong Zaijin could speak, that old Chai called out, "The young master agreed to come to my house to rest."

The woman said disgustedly: "Just your dilapidated house is better than the dilapidated temple in the western suburbs of the village. How dare you use it to entertain guests?"

Old Chai shrank again: "This..."

A girl with a pale face came out shyly, and suggested weakly: "Why don't you come and live at my house..."

The woman frowned: "Will your father allow a strange man to live in your house? It's better to live in my house."

A grandma with snow on her temples suddenly joined the battle, saying: "I am the only one in the old woman's house, why don't you let this baby live in my house."

Woman: "No!"

Girl: "No!"

... There was a quarrel, and the sky gradually darkened.

Kong Zaijin: "..." I just want a place to live.This is the first time he has experienced this kind of thing of being scrambled to live in his own house, and it is quite novel.

He remembered very clearly that in the Peacock Clan, he was always the one who was hated.His hair color changed, his appearance changed a bit, and when he went to another place, someone rushed to ask him to live in his house.

Suddenly there was a chuckle from the tree beside him, he looked up and saw a barely handsome young man leaning on the tree trunk.The boy in black watched the fire from the other side, exchanged a glance with him, motioned him to look back, then fell off the tree and disappeared in the woods next to the small village.

For some reason, Kong Zaijin understood what the boy meant, turned around, and saw a sallow and emaciated old man talking with Lao Chai.

Old Chai put the firewood aside, and pressed his skinny hand on the firewood.Lao Chai looked up and said in surprise, "Hey, village head, why are you up? Aren't you still sick?"

The village chief coughed a few times, and said to Kong Zaijin with a pleasant smile, "This young master, come and live with me."

A girl suddenly jumped up excitedly, and said to several of her playmates: "Beautiful brother has come to my house!"

Playmate [-]: "I want him to come to my house too!"

Playmate [-]: "Can I go to your house to see the beautiful brother?"

……

At that moment, Kong Zaijin finally realized that he seemed... not as ugly as Kong Qing said?He nodded: "Thank you village chief."

The village was silent for a moment, and a girl suddenly burst into tears.

Kong Zaijin panicked: "I..." Did my voice scare you?

The girl cried and hugged the village head's granddaughter, saying: "My brother with such a nice voice actually goes to your house. I don't want him. I want my beautiful brother to come to my house!"

Kong Zaijin: "..." It turned out that Master didn't lie to him, and his voice seemed...not unpleasant.

The village head had a headache: "Enough is enough! It's getting dark, go back and rest!"

When everyone heard "It's dark", panic appeared on their faces, and they immediately retreated behind the lingering earthen wall.

The village chief seemed to be weak, with an inexplicable shadow of prey in his wrinkles.He coughed while walking: "Young master, don't go out again after dark."

Kong Zaijin followed the village chief to his house and asked, "Is there something strange?"

The village chief sighed: "Young Master, you are not a resident of Ghost Car, are you? In the Ghost Car fiefdom, as long as the sun is setting, you must never go out."

Kong Zaijin was puzzled: "Why?"

"Because, this is the fiefdom of Ghost Che. Ghost Che's wife 'Jiudi Goddess' comes to eat people every night. If you see blood drops at home, you must move out, otherwise... Sigh."

Kong Zaijin asked: "The blood drop is the symbol of the goddess?"

The village head nodded: "Yes."

"How long has this been the case?"

The village head sighed: "It was like this five years ago. As long as it is not dawn, we will not go out, so the young master must hurry when the weather is sunny. As long as the weather is unlucky, the goddess will come out to act, so we No matter how hungry you are, you have to stay at home."

Kong Zaijin looked up at the ignorant moon in the halo, and asked, "Does the village chief know why goddesses like to come out on cloudy days?"

The village chief sighed: "Because, the ghost car married the goddess under the dark clouds. There are nine goddesses in total. According to reports, the first two goddesses are... well, the guests are here. You can rest. "

The village head who left half of the words left.Kong Zaijin pushed open the door, suddenly a gust of coldness came over his face.

He couldn't help frowning, hesitating in front of the door.Suddenly, a small stone hit him on the back of the head, and the boy's clear voice came: "If I were you, I wouldn't sleep here."

Kong Zaijin turned his head, saw that it was the black-clothed boy who was elusive today, and asked cautiously: "What do you know?"

The black-clothed boy was carrying a bandaged sword on his back, and sat on the top of the wall in a chic manner, chuckling softly, which sounded nice.The boy turned over the wall and stood beside him.In comparison, he was a few inches shorter than him.

Kong Zaijin grasped the hilt of Jinfeng sword, if the young man took a step closer, he would not be polite.

The young man glanced at his movements, and said casually: "It's too obvious that you are on guard like this. It will be seen by others." The young man sat calmly on the steps in front of the house and said, "Do you know what direction this house is facing? "

Kong Zaijin glanced at the dark coffin-like room, raised his head to distinguish north and south with the stars, but the night was covered by a layer of strange clouds.He frowned, wanting to ask what the young man meant, but when he lowered his head, the young man had disappeared!

"Young master, come in quickly. Don't come out to hang out at this late hour." The old village chief unexpectedly came out from the side without a sound, and coughed a few times weakly after speaking.

Kong Zaijin felt a slight chill in his heart: he didn't notice that the old village head was approaching!

The old village chief went around him, entered the house, lit the lamp for him, and said with a smile: "Young master, is he afraid of the dark? It's okay, I will light the lamp for you. Oh, yes, you must turn off the lamp when you are appointed." , otherwise...if you offend the goddess, you will die faster."

In the faint yellow light, the old village chief's face had distinct gullies, and the shadows of every wrinkle seemed to be eerie and dead.

Kong Zaijin resolutely went into the house, the old village chief handed him the lamp and said, "Don't open your eyes when you hear anything in the middle of the night. Otherwise... you will offend the goddess."

Kong Zaijin was extremely calm on the surface, and replied disapprovingly: "Okay."

The old village head didn't care if he really listened, and smiled kindly, and said: "Then, please rest here, young master. Remember to turn off the lights after a quarter of an hour."

Kong Zaijin's nerves tightened when he laughed.Fortunately, he usually has no expression, and now he is still watching the old village chief leave as if nothing had happened.He closed the door, and the house locked him like a prison.

The strange villagers and the boy's strange words made him feel annoyed.

Very uncomfortable.

The ice shark bead on his chest immediately gave off a coolness, soothing his mood.Kong Zaijin instantly felt at ease.

He didn't plan to fall asleep tonight, so he blew out the oil lamp and looked around cautiously while holding the sword.

At this time, it seemed that something was knocking on the only window in the house, and there was a rhythmic sound.

He walked to the window lightly, waiting for something outside the window to come in, and then stretched out his sword...

Seeing that the people in the house did not respond, the things outside the window seemed a little impatient. They pushed open the window from the outside to the inside, and the pale moonlight in the thick night penetrated into the room like tentacles.

A pair of bony hands supported the window sill, and the figure turned over and jumped.

Kong Zai looked at the right time, and the Jinfeng Sword stabbed out!

But the figure was able to turn around in the air, and the Wind Sword pierced a bandage-wrapped sword, making a very light sword cry.

The boy in black took a few steps back, raised his hands, and said, "Don't hurt your temper."

Kong Zaijin frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

The boy in black raised his eyebrows: "Ghost Xuan."

Kong Zaijin was taken aback: "Your surname is ghost?"

Gui Xuan: "Otherwise my surname is Xuan?"

Kong Zaijin asked, "Who is your father?"

Gui Xuan smiled mischievously: "I told you, you will take me back, right?"

Is this young man the son of the Lord of Guiling?Kong Zaijin thought for a moment, then asked, "Why are you here?"

Gui Xuan took it for granted: "Look for someone. My brother is missing."

Kong Zaijin didn't believe it: "Look for someone to find this?"

Gui Xuan changed the subject, and said seriously: "Master, you leave this room with me first, and then ask me carefully, how about it? Kuiye is coming soon."

Kong Zaijin was quite skeptical of this young man, but the village chief who had no cultivation level but could approach him quietly made him even more terrified.He decided to take a gamble: "Go."

Guixuan is agile, like a ghost in a small village, leading him to wander to the ruined temple in the western suburbs of the village.

As soon as he entered the gate of the ruined temple, a young man with the appearance of a scholar came over: "Gui Xuan, where have you been?" The scholar saw Kong Zaijin and said, "Are you going to save someone?"

Gui Xuan nodded: "Well, his strength is not bad."

The scholar asked Kong Zaijin: "How many thunder disasters have passed?" After asking, he also knew that he was abrupt, and said: "My name is Qu Shu, I have no surname. I have passed through a thunder disaster, and I am forty-five this year. "

After practicing the second thunder calamity, you can keep your face and bigu permanently. After the first thunder calamity, although you can't retain your face, it can slow down the aging of the body.So this scholar still looks like he is over 20 years old.

Kong Zaijin said politely: "Kong Jin, just passed the second thunder calamity." Kong Jin's name is rarely called, so most people don't know his name is "Jin".

Guixuan suddenly said: "Guixuan, the second thunder disaster has passed. This year is thirty. Kong Jin, how old are you this year?"

Kong Zaijin didn't hide anything, said: "It's just a hundred years old."

Guixuan said as a matter of course: "Then I will call you Brother Jin."

Kong Zaijin felt uncomfortable when he called him that, and was about to correct him, when he was led by Guixuan into the door of the ruined temple, and he asked, "Brother Jin, when you see this ruined temple, you always realize that there is something wrong with those rooms. Is there a problem?"

Kong Zaijin nodded: "The houses in the village are all... facing north and south."

Guixuan smiled and said: "That's right. The sunshine in the ghost car fief comes from the south all year round. The house should be like this ruined temple, facing south from the north."

Qu Shu asked, "Why did they build it like that?"

Gui Xuan was still smiling, and threw the ball out: "Brother Jin, what do you think?"

Kong Zaijin said: "Afraid of light." He thought of the village chief's appearance under the lamplight, and said again: "Keep the breath of death."

Qu Shu wondered: "Death?"

Gui Xuan stroked his bandaged sword, as if he was thinking about something.

Kong Zaijin said: "It's just a kind of qi that makes me uncomfortable, that's all I call it. The village chief has a lot of it."

The temple was quiet for a while, and Kong Zaijin asked again: "Guixuan, why did you come here?"

Guixuan stretched his waist and lay in the hay: "I said, look for my brother. My brother disappeared near here, and this neighborhood is definitely the strangest place in Wushan Village. Come in and have a look, and save people That's all."

There was no fire in the ruined temple, and Kong Zaijin was lying beside the hay next to Guixuan, looking at the dim night sky with him through the holed ceiling.

Gui Xuan lay down for a while, and asked, "Brother Jin, aren't you panicking?"

Kong Zaijin shook his head: "I have slept in a bed worse than this."

Gui Xuan thought of something, paused, and got back to business: "How much does Brother Jin know about the Goddess?"

Kong Zaijin repeated the village chief's words, then Guixuan sighed, and said, "Brother Jin should ask for this kind of information at the side of the village."

Kong Zaijin thought about it too, and said, "Next time I will ask clearly."

Guixuan laughed and said, "Brother Jin, do you want to come for the second time?" He waved his hand, and said to Qu Shu who couldn't help telling the legend of the goddess, "It can be said."

Qu Shu was gearing up and said, "Rumor, before the God Realm was broken, the ghost car fiefdom was the territory of the fierce beast ghost car..."
