1566 Chapter 11-town mayor
At the mayor’s house.
As dusk fell, through the gap of the rough door of the farmer’s house, a tired face looked at kuiyin and her group with obvious vigilance and doubt.
Kuimiyoshi softened her tone and said, ” “We’re from the glazed tile Empire. We’re just passing by and have something to ask the town mayor of White Grass town.”
The man looked around sneakily and said in a low voice, ” “Hurry up and come in!”
Kuiyin and the rest listened and followed him into the courtyard without hesitation. As soon as the two women stepped over the threshold, the man closed the door and locked it as if he was afraid of being followed.
Immediately after, he continued in a low voice, ” my father is in the room. Don’t make a sound. Let’s talk inside.
“This town is not peaceful!”
When they heard this, kuijing Yi and Qiao ciguang looked at each other with serious expressions.
As expected!
Something had happened in White Grass town!
Looking at the many demons outside the door, Zhongkui Jingyi immediately transmitted her voice, ” “All of you, come in as well. Don’t reveal your tracks and scare the mortals.”
The demons were initially a little nervous about being separated from the two women, but they immediately cast their demonic Arts and passed through the wall, continuing to silently follow behind kuikui Jing Yi and Qiao ciguang.
Led by the mayor’s son, they entered the central room.
In the central room, an old man with a face full of wrinkles and a bitter expression was sitting in the already dark room, smoking a water pipe.
There was no light in the room, only smoke lingering. The smell of low-quality tobacco was strong and choking, and the light of the fire was flickering.
Fortunately, for cultivators, the darkness in front of them did not hinder them.
They quickly scanned their surroundings.
This was a fairly spacious main house. The solid soil had been swept clean without a speck of dust, and the poorly-made tables and chairs had been wiped clean. There were basket, shoulder poles, hoes, and other farming tools in the hall, and a small corner was surrounded by vines. From time to time, there were some clattering sounds … Several hens were raised in the hall.
What made the group of cultivators pay special attention to was that on the wall facing the door, there was a shrine. Behind the half-hanging curtain, there was a statue of a crouching demon beast roaring.
The demonic beast was shaped like a lion or a Tiger, with sharp horns on its head and five long tails. It had white eyebrows and a white beard, and its eyes were cold and fierce.
Although it was only a statue, it exuded a pressure that made many demons ‘hearts palpitate.
This was a great demon!
Everyone looked back at the old man. Finally, Kuai Jingyi stepped forward and bowed, ” we’re just minor officials of the Empire. We’ve just come by your place and want to find out some things. Please enlighten us, Mayor.
The mayor seemed to be in a daze. He stood up after being stunned for a while and said helplessly, ” “I’m just a country bumpkin, I can’t afford the Lord’s favor … Please sit! Please take a seat, both of you!”
He then beckoned his son to serve tea and melon seeds.
After finally kuijing Yi and Qiao ciguang took their seats, the mayor asked carefully, ” “May I ask what instructions do the two of you have?”
don’t worry, old man, ” mirror Yi said. we just want to know if there have been any outsiders passing by your town recently.
“Or, did anything special happen?”
The mayor’s expression changed slightly and he immediately said, ” White Grass town is a remote place. Every family has lived here for generations … All these years, there have been no outsiders.
“But something special …”
“Something just happened!”
Mirror Yi and Qiao ciguang’s spirits were instantly lifted. Qiao ciguang quickly asked,”What is it?”
“A ghost carriage came to town. It was carried by eight evil spirits to ah Yong’s house …” The mayor revealed a mournful expression.
Evil spirit?
Ah Yong’s house?
The expressions of kuijing Yi, Qiao ciguang, and the other demons turned grave.
Although this matter didn’t seem to have anything to do with the traces of the final sunflower and the thorn, according to the laws of the empire, any cultivator who encountered an evil spirit attacking a mortal was to be held accountable!
“When did this happen?” mirror Yi asked.
“About an hour ago,” the mayor replied.
Half an hour ago?
Kuiyin stood up quickly and asked, ” “Where’s ah Yong’s house? How are the casualties in the town?”
“The evil ghost in the palanquin has a profound cultivation base,” the town mayor sighed and said,”the protective spell formation that Master Chu set up for the town can’t stop it from entering and leaving. Maybe it’s the statue of Master Chu …”
As he spoke, he bowed to the shrine above before continuing, ” after killing ah Yong’s family, they finally stopped wreaking havoc.
“Although ah Yong was one of the best hunters in the town, he couldn’t protect himself and his wife. His family was killed in a miserable way. Sigh … Poor child …”
Hearing this, Qiao ciguang furrowed his brows and said,”Old Sir, when we first entered the town, we saw that everything was normal. We didn’t see any panicked people, nor did we smell any blood. May I know where the bodies of ah Yong’s family are?”
“The corpses were all eaten by evil spirits,” the mayor said dejectedly.
the evil spirit first bit ah Yong’s throat.
“Then, from head to toe, eat it bit by bit …”
When he said this, the muscles on his face kept twitching, as if he still had a lingering fear when he recalled the situation at that time.
Kuiyin’s face darkened, and she asked, ” “Is that evil spirit still in the town?”
“I don’t know,” the mayor shook his head.
“It could still be in ah Yong’s house, or it could be in qingyao mountain … Right now, everyone is trying to avoid the evil spirit, let alone find out its whereabouts.”
Oh right, ah Yong’s house is on the way here. If you go out from here and go back … It’s that house.
“Other than that, did anything else happen in White Grass town recently?” Qiao ciguang asked again.
The mayor gave it some serious thought and shook his head.”No more!”
Hearing this, kuiyin Jingyi immediately said, ” “Sorry for disturbing you, old Sir.”
“We’re going to ah Yong’s house now, goodbye!”
“The evil ghosts are ferocious. Please be careful, my Lords!” The mayor stood up to send them off.
Finally, kuijing Yi and Qiao ciguang walked out of the mayor’s house with many demons following closely behind.
Soon, the mayor’s courtyard returned to its usual cold and cheerless state.
The old Mayor sat back in his seat and smoked his water pipe with a bitter expression.
A moment later, he looked at the darkening night sky and was about to get up and go back to his room to rest when he heard another knock on the door.
The mayor immediately called out to his son. youngest, go and take a look. Who’s here this time? ”
The youngest responded and ran to open the courtyard door.
He saw a large group of people standing outside the door. The person in the lead was dressed in a crimson robe and had a black face and short beard. It was Jiang Feng Wu!
The youngest was startled by the number of people and hesitated to close the door. Jiang Feng Wu saw this and immediately took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve. As he handed it to the youngest, he smiled and said,”Little brother, don’t worry. We’re merchants. We’re just passing by and have something to discuss with the mayor.”
Looking at the string of copper coins, the youngest hesitated for a moment, but he still took it and quickly stuffed it into his pocket. He then said in a low voice, ” “All of you, come in. Don’t make too much noise.”
“This town is not peaceful!”
Jiang Feng Wu’s expression did not change. However, many of the Rogue cultivators behind him had serious expressions. They opened their mouths to ask, but when they saw Jiang Feng Wu’s back, they chose to remain silent.
Everyone entered the central room. Due to the limited space, only Jiang Feng Wu and the other core formation cultivators sat down. The others stood behind their chairs with their hands down.
The mayor looked at the crowd in front of him and was a little surprised, but he still instructed his son, ” “Fourth, pour some tea.”
Jiang Feng Wu placed the four-colored gift box on the table and said politely,”Old man, there’s no need to trouble you.”
“We’re only entrusted with a task to inquire about a matter.”
“I wonder if any outsiders have come to White Grass town in the past few months?”
The mayor’s expression became even more puzzled and he said, ” “A group of foreigners came 15 minutes ago.”
“He claimed to be from the glazed avarice dynasty.”
The moment they heard that it was someone from the glazed tile Empire, the wandering cultivators were instantly reassured.
The person they were looking for this time was none other than the Crown Prince of the glazed tile Empire!
However, there seemed to be a problem with the timing …
Thinking this way, Jiang Feng Wu still hurriedly asked,”I wonder where those people from the glazed tile Empire are now?”
“I’m not sure about that,” the mayor said with a sigh.
“He said he went to ah Yong’s house, but he could also have entered qingyao mountain …”
???
At the entrance of ah Yong’s house.
The ghost sedan floated in the air.
The eight porters carried the handles of the palanquin on their shoulders and remained silent.
With the palanquin as the center, the cold Yin Qi rolled out in all directions.
Suddenly, a giant pale golden hand reached out from the void above the ghost carriage and grabbed at ah Yong’s house.
BOOM!
