More and more villagers began to kowtow, and Pei Laoliu, who was originally hidden by the crowd, was immediately exposed this time.
Now, it was no longer possible for him to hide his figure, and he was immediately spotted by the people in front of him.
"Who are you!?"
An old man standing by the river was the first to see Liu Ye's presence, and he immediately shouted and asked.
What Pei Laoliu is wearing here is really conspicuous. He is wearing an emerald green fearless uniform, and the style is very different from the dress of this era. In the eyes of the other party, he just has the word "alien" on his head. .
After the old man said this, the surrounding villagers all turned their heads and looked at the strange figure standing at the end of the crowd.
Pei Laoliu was stared at by nearly a hundred people. Although he was a little murmuring in his heart, he was not panicked.
Who is his sixth master? He has been traveling around the world for most of his life. He has never seen any scene. How can he be frightened by such a little posture?
"Cough cough cough."
He coughed a few times, and then subconsciously entered the state he had once deceived others, put on an air of immortality, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't panic, everyone. I am a member of the Taiyi Sect. I was passing by here and saw everyone gathered here. I was curious, so I came to check it out."
Liu Ye cupped his hands and said.
Normally, he would definitely not talk like this.
It's just that I have been staying with Ye Cang for a long time in Longmian Mountain recently, and naturally I have picked up a bit of the other party's speaking habits.
In addition, the people here seemed to be dressed in ancient costumes, so his tone was not so abrupt.
When the old man opposite heard what he said, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a strange expression on his face:
"You, you said you came from outside?"
Pei Laoliu nodded and said, "Exactly."
The old man looked very shocked when he heard this.
He looked at each other with the two young men beside him who had the same expression. The three of them muttered and didn't know what they were talking about. Then they took a step forward and walked quickly to Pei Laoliu.
"This... Taoist priest... please forgive me for being presumptuous. You said you came from outside our village. I wonder if there is any evidence...?"
"Evidence? What evidence do you want?"
Pei Laoliu raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Let me ask you, have you ever seen me in your village before? Since you have never seen me, of course I am from outside. What evidence do you need?"
"this……"
The old man was immediately speechless. He held it there for a long time, then sighed and explained:
"Hey... Taoist priest, don't blame me, I'm old and confused... Taoist priest, you don't know something. In fact, we have encountered some special circumstances, so we ask this question."
"Oh? Can you tell me about any special circumstances?"
Pei Laoliu knew that the key to the story was coming.
The old man hammered his chest, looked back at the body on the ground over there, and said in a grief-stricken tone:
"The younger brother is the elder of this village. His name is Li Yuan. To be honest with the Taoist priest, our village has suffered a disaster recently!"
"Our village is called Dongyuan Village. It is located at the foot of Dongyuan Mountain. In addition to cultivating some food, most of us make a living by hunting in the mountains."
"But not long ago, I don't know where I offended the mountain god, and our village was suddenly sealed off! Outsiders can't come in, and people inside can't get out!"
"Not only has Li Si, who went hunting a few days ago, not come back yet, but he can't even go out! Anyone who dares to take a step out of the small river next to the village will disappear inexplicably, and then it won't take long. It floated down the upper reaches of the river, and when it appeared again, ice stubble had grown all over its body, and even its blood had been sucked away!"
"Taoist priest, look, the man by the river is a hunter in our village. We all call him Wang Erbiaozi. He couldn't stand the hunger yesterday, so he boldly walked out. Unexpectedly, he was poisoned. …”
When he said this, he looked at Pei Laoliu with expectation in his eyes and said urgently:
"Taoist, Taoist! You came at the right time! We are already the seventh person. There are not many people in the village, and the dead are all young men. If this continues, then we will I’m afraid the village will be extinct!”
"So I beg you, Taoist Priest, please show mercy and save us! Our Dongyuan Village has reached this point, and there is really no other way. If you don't save us, then I'm afraid that dozens of us will starve to death here..."
The old man was already in tears after speaking, and he was about to kneel down in front of Pei Laoliu.
Pei Laoliu couldn't see him like this, so he stretched out his hand to pull him up.
He now has a rough understanding of what happened here. To be honest, he would have never dared to touch such a bizarre incident even when the strange thing happened before.
Moreover, this was a place he didn't understand at all. He didn't even know whether it was still on the Aqua Blue Planet or not, and whether there were monsters or monsters there. How could he dare to agree to them so easily.
Seeing his hesitation, everyone kowtowed to him and shouted for help. For a moment, the scene was filled with sadness, and everyone who heard it was heartbroken.
Seeing this, Mr. Liu held back the words he wanted to say, and felt a little at a loss for a while.
In fact, he didn't have the heart to refuse them. After all, what happened here was full of evil and related to his own life. He would not rush into danger just because of the other party's plea.
But the problem now is that I accidentally used the teleportation technique to travel here, and I am still trapped in the situation. It is obviously a bit unrealistic to just ignore the matter.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the Star Stone in his pocket. If he really encountered any irresolvable danger, he would have no choice but to use this stone to escape.
As for my dog Dahei...
Pei Laoliu looked at it, and suddenly thought that he still had a useless summoning ability. Maybe he could use the summoning ability to pull it back after he went back!
He cursed secretly, he had forgotten this spell before.
In fact, you can't blame him. Although Pei Laoliu awakened dark energy with the help of Zhang Xiaoman, he usually suits Ye Cang to learn the method of "cultivation" together. He has some skills he possesses, especially this kind of I don’t know much about the “Brand” skill at all, so it’s understandable that I didn’t think of it for a while.
Now, after he figured out the key to the matter, he suddenly felt like he had escaped. Since he could leave at any time, the things here were not a problem.
As he thought this, the look on his face became relaxed. Seeing this, everyone in Dongyuan Village thought that the Taoist priest was going to agree, and they all showed expressions of hopelessness.
"Taoist Master, you, you..."
The old man also noticed the change on his face. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by a wailing cry.
"My son! My son! What's wrong with you! What's wrong with you!"
The voice came from the back of the crowd. It was an old woman wearing patched clothes. She was limping towards here with a yellowed wooden stick.
"Son! Where are you! Where are you! Nothing happens to you! If something happens to you, how will your mother live?"
The old woman shed tears as she walked and kept calling for her son. Although her steps were difficult, she still walked firmly in the direction where everyone was.
"It's Aunt Li. Why is Aunt Li here? It's such a long way, her feet..."
"Wang Erbiao is her son. The head of the family passed away early. The two of them have been dependent on each other since childhood... Now that Wang Erbiao is gone, Old Lady Li may not be able to survive..."
Someone in the crowd made a sound of discussion.
There were also people with good intentions who hurried over to help the old woman on crutches.
Pei Laoliu turned around and saw this scene. Listening to the discussions of several people around him, he suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.
The villagers helped the old woman to the open space by the river. When they saw the body of their son on the ground, the white-haired woman could no longer support her body and fell down as her legs gave out.
Fortunately, a man next to her with quick eyesight and quick hands helped her, but the latter seemed to have lost his soul. He looked straight at his son's body and kept repeating the other person's name in his mouth, like a walking corpse. generally.
"Why……"
Li Yuan sighed. Even though he had lived a lifetime and had seen many separations and separations, how could he not feel sad when such a scene happened in front of him.
"Taoist Master, you have also seen that in our village, there are probably only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left. If you don't help us, I'm afraid we really won't be able to survive for long..."
As he spoke, he knelt down tremblingly, grabbed Pei Laoliu's clothes, and begged:
"Taoist Priest, I beg you to help us. As long as you are willing to help, our whole village will go bankrupt, but we still have to raise enough money to give you, as our repayment..."
Master Liu looked at him and then at the kneeling villagers around him. The old woman's murmur of calling for her son echoed in his ears, and he began to feel tangled in his heart.
I have to say that in such a scene, even a hard-hearted person may have been softened.
Although Mr. Liu used to be a traveling fortune teller, he was engaged in Feng Shui fortune-telling business. To put it nicely, it was a consensual psychological treatment. To put it worst, it was a business that deceived people out of money.
But thieves also have their ways. Although Mr. Liu is in this business, he is very clear about one thing. Watching people order dishes, drinking soup and not eating meat, these are the most basic rules in the industry.
Of course, many fortune tellers nowadays have long forgotten this rule. Every bite is taken with the skin and bone, and what they drink is not blood, but bone marrow!
There are not many people who follow the rules like Mr. Liu.
It can be seen that Mr. Liu is still very kind-hearted in nature. The reason why he is hesitant now is because he is frightened by the strange deaths that happened here.
To put it bluntly, he was still worried about his life.
But now, with these villagers kneeling down to plead like this, the scale in his mind gradually began to shift.
"Mr. Li Cun, you get up first. Let's talk about anything slowly..."
He stretched out his hand to help the old man on the ground, but just in the middle of the action, he suddenly heard someone shouting in terror.
"Aunt Li! Aunt Li! She went to the other side of the river!"
Everyone turned their heads when they heard the words. The old woman who was still crying on the ground had stood up and crossed the small river in front of her at some point and walked towards the woods in the distance.
"Aunt Li! Aunt Li! What are you doing! Come back quickly! You can't go there!"
An acquaintance shouted, trying to persuade the mother who had lost her child.
However, Aunt Li's eyes were dull, and she ignored all the shouts, and still moved step by step with difficulty.
Finally, when she completely crossed the river and came to a tree on the other side, she made a move that made everyone fall silent.
Half of her body was leaning against the tree trunk, she picked up her crutch with both hands, stretched the tip of the stick towards the woods, and let out a hoarse cry.
"Monster! Monster! Come out! Come out! Come in exchange for my treasure's life! Come back in return for my treasure's life!"
The old woman's voice was like a cuckoo weeping blood, extremely sad. Although her trembling hands were almost unable to hold on, they still tried their best to point to the depths of the woods and the person who caused all this. The murderer seemed to be expressing his determination.
At this time, Pei Laoliu had already completely forgotten what he wanted to say. He stared at the scene not far away in shock, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
"You come in exchange for my family treasure's life...you come back with my family treasure's life..."
The old woman's voice was extremely hoarse at this time, as if her throat had been dried up by crying, making people feel as if they would not be able to breathe anymore.
When several young men saw this, they gritted their teeth and wanted to chase her and bring her back. However, they were held tightly by the family members on the side, preventing them from setting foot in the creek.
"Come back quickly! Aunt Li! Come back quickly!"
The crowd's shouts were still there, but it had no effect. The heart of the old woman on the other side of the river was already dead.
If your heart is dead, you will naturally not be able to hear it.
Pei Laoliu came to his senses. The muscles in his legs tensed up, as if he wanted to go over and pull Aunt Li back.
However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed across the woods, and a strong suction force appeared. The surrounding trees suddenly rustled, and fell towards the forest as if they were bent by the strong wind.
The old woman was the first to bear the brunt. Her whole body was like a piece of fluttering paper, being sucked along by the force, and she disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.
