The villain is above: the villain master's handbook

"The place we are going to next is a village further south of Lin'an City, called Rimu Village, which is thousands of miles away from Lin'an City."

"I heard that strange things have often happened in this village recently. In the middle of the night, screams can be heard, and those who are daring go out to check the source of the sound, but they never return."

"After half a month after such a strange incident, all the young people in Rimu Village have fled, only some old, weak, sick and disabled are still staying here."

Mu Lian looked at the information in his hand and said solemnly.

There were a total of six of them on this trip, and it took less than half a day to fly from Wangchuanzong to Rimu Village.

But even so, they were almost sunset by then.

Rimu Village is hidden among mountains and beautiful forests.

It is deserted and uninhabited, the main road is desolate, and the trails extend in all directions, connecting the mountains.

The six people looked at the stone tablet engraved with Rimu Village in front of them, the handwriting was blurred, it was old, and there were traces of the passage of time.

Everything in front of me, in the halo of the setting sun in the west, looks desolate and desolate, with a sense of sadness that time goes by.

Mu Lian stepped into the village first, observing the surrounding environment.

Sure enough, as the intelligence said, almost all the people in the village had fled.

Look at those dusty thatched huts, and the utensils with cobwebs in the yards of various houses, and I don't know how long it has not been used.

Li Xiaohe looked around and exclaimed: "This kind of place should be full of local people. Outsiders are not willing to stay here. Now the local people are almost gone. I am afraid that in a few years, this village It really became a ghost village, with no living people."

Xue Ren also nodded, "Indeed, it is too remote, surrounded by mountains, and there is no access."

They walked all the way to the depths of the village, and finally found a courtyard that was still a little angry.

"Go in and ask about the specific situation."

Mu Lian walked in the front and knocked on the door of the cottage.

When there was no response, he patiently knocked twice more.

After a long time, the old wooden door was opened with a dark crack, revealing a wrinkled face.

It was an old woman who opened the door, and she looked at them with cloudy eyes through the light.

After seeing that they didn't look like bad people, he opened his mouth tremblingly.

"Who... are you looking for?"

Mu Lian tried her best to look more amiable, even her voice was much softer.

"Grandma, we are members of the sect, and we came to ask you about the situation in Rimu Village."

Ye Hanzhou and Lu Xiu were stunned by such a gentle voice.

When the old woman heard this, a chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on her wrinkled face.

"It turns out...it's an immortal from the sect, come in... let's talk."

The door opened wide, revealing the dark interior without a single light.

If ordinary people faced such a weird scene, they would hesitate, but Mu Lian walked in without any fear.

The only one who was a bit timid, Li Xiaohe, followed Ye Hanzhou by the sleeve.

After entering the house, the old woman lit a candle and invited them hospitablely to sit down.

There were not enough stools in the room, so I tremblingly went to move stools for them.

Seeing this, several people hurried forward to help, so that the old woman could sit comfortably without busy work.

Except for the two commonly used stools, the other wooden stools had accumulated dust for a long time. Several people used dust removal equipment to clean the tables and chairs before sitting down.

"Ahem... do you... want some water? I'll go and pour water for you."

The old woman couldn't sit still as if there were needles on the stool, and stood up while supporting the table, looking around.

Li Xiaohe sat next to the old woman, and quickly pushed her to sit down.

"Grandma, just sit down, we don't drink water."

At this time, Mu Lian also expressed interest, "We just want to ask, how many people are left in your Rimu Village?"

The old woman sat down with a dull expression, as if she was thinking about the question Mu Lian asked.

After a while, she slowly replied: "The last time I went out...was two days ago. The little girl at the end of the village told me that there are only a dozen or so people in the village now. Let me go out less usually, especially at night... ...absolutely not to go out."

Mu Lian grasped the point, "The girl at the end of the village? Are there still young people here?"

"Yeah... all the young people are gone, but this little girl... is still here. It's just that I'm old... I really can't remember... who she is.

All I remember is my wife... left me years ago and left me alone, here.

The guy next door... said he wanted to take me away, but I refused... My wife is still here, I'm leaving... He will be alone. "

The old woman spoke in a mess, but Mu Lian still understood what she meant.

The end of the wooden house could be seen at a glance, Mu Lian took a glance and found a spiritual tablet beside the sealed window sill.

Looking at the new and clean appearance, it is in contrast to the overall interior of the wooden house. Someone should wipe it carefully every day.

Looking at the tears in the old woman's muddy eyes, Mu Lian sighed softly.

He didn't ask any more about the little girl.

As for the others, judging by the current state of the old woman, I am afraid that she is too old to ask any questions at all.

Mu Lian stood up and took out some dry food containing aura from the ring.

"Grandma, just stay in the house. Here are some food, enough for you for a while. We still need to find out more, so we won't bother you any more."

Hearing this, the old woman who was not able to move quickly stood up and wanted to stop them.

"No...you can't leave! It's getting dark now...it's very dangerous outside."

Mu Lian smiled slightly, and supported the old woman to sit down.

"Grandma, you also know that we are immortals, and those ghosts can't do anything to us. We came here to solve the hidden dangers of Rimu Village, so that the elderly in the village can live in peace. In this way, you and your wife, You can live here without any disturbance.”

The old woman was startled, and after a while, she nodded happily.

"Thank you Immortal...then you must be more careful."

The six people said goodbye to the old woman and walked deep into the village.

The old woman opened the crack of the door and looked with one eye for a long time before closing the door again.

"Ahem, Qingfeng, I really didn't expect that we have been in the same family for so many years, why didn't I see that you are such a person."

Walking on the main road of the village, the big Xue Ren scratched his head in embarrassment.

Mu Lian frowned slightly, and asked curiously, "What kind of person?"

Before Xue Ren could say anything, Liuying took the conversation again.

"It's also the first time I've discovered that Qingfeng is such a gentle person."

Being called gentle, Mu Lian was very surprised.

He looked puzzled, "Is...really?"

Lu Xiu also expressed his opinion, "Cough, Daoist Qingfeng, you are really gentle."

The few people were chatting without noticing that the young man behind them had a dark face full of awkwardness.

He should have added another reward last time, Master's gentleness can only be left to him alone!
