At dusk, the three of them hurried to a small town not far from Tiandaomen. Not long after leaving Tiandaomen, they met the demon.
The strength of these demons is no different from the previous ones, they are all ordinary but not ordinary.
After Gu Xiaotian killed these monsters, he deliberately found a hidden corner, randomly picked up the corpse of a monster, and dug out the heart while enduring nausea.
Looking at this heart, Gu Xiaotian frowned.
This heart was almost exactly the same as the one Cheng Sanyi showed him before. Both had one corner cut off and there were rows of holes at the back and bottom.
There is no doubt that these demons are also low-level demons trained by the Leng family's mind-controlling skills in Shu.
Gu Xiaotian said: "This place is thousands of miles away from Shu. I didn't expect the enemy to move so fast."
Leng Qingqiu shook his head, "The Leng family doesn't just stay in Shu, there are also many people who come to the Central Plains."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Sister, do you know where these people are?"
"I don't know. I don't have any interactions with these tribesmen."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, now he can only take one step and look at the other.
On this trip to Beihuang, there were still some sects on the way. After being rejected by the Tiandao Sect, Gu Xiaotian finally understood the attitude of these sects.
Tian Dao Men can be said to be the easier to talk to in the sect today. At least he takes care of food and housing. Although he didn't get an answer when he left, it can be regarded as a little gain.
However, this harvest was not what Gu Xiaotian wanted.
When they arrived at the door of the only inn in the town, the shopkeeper saw that the three of them were dressed and it was obvious that they were all foreigners, so the waiter closed the door and blocked the three of them outside.
Gu Xiaotian opened the door and asked, "Shopkeeper, is the room full?"
The shopkeeper was honest, "It's not full, but we won't be doing business today."
Gu Xiaotian begged the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, it's almost dark today. We'll only stay for one night. The price is easy to negotiate."
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, "I said I won't do business, so I won't do it. Leave now."
He said all kinds of good things to this shopkeeper, but he still refused to let go. Anyway, he would rather not make that money than let Gu Xiaotian and the others stay overnight.
The three of them were kicked out of the inn and walked aimlessly on the streets of the town. Gu Xiaotian said, "It feels like the shopkeeper is afraid of something."
Leng Qingqiu echoed: "The shopkeeper saw that we are foreigners. Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he was actually a little panicked."
Gu Xiaotian spread his hands and said speechlessly: "It doesn't make sense. Could it be that we look like bad people?"
"Probably not. Maybe there is something weird in this town."
It was still quite some time before dark, but there were only a few people on the street at this time. Only one young man was packing his cart and preparing to close his stall and go home.
Gu Xiaotian hurriedly ran to the young man and asked, "Please ask, it's still some time before dark, why are you in such a hurry to close the stall and go home?"
The young man looked at the clothes of these people and said disdainfully: "Are they from outside? Leave as soon as it's dark. If you stay outside at night, you may lose your life."
Gu Xiaotian pestered the young man and continued to ask: "Why do you say that? Is there a monster in this town?"
The young man frowned and his expression became a little panicked.
Clearly, the young man was afraid of something.
After all, it would only get dark for a moment, and he didn't dare to take the risk.
As for why he closed the stall so late, it was because he was a young man and needed to be bolder. He stayed an extra hour in case he met someone buying something, so he could make a big deal and raise the price.
The young man hurriedly pushed the cart, his steps gradually becoming more hurried, and he said impatiently: "Don't ask, I don't know what's going on in this town, but people often die at night."
After the young man left completely, the three of them had a brief discussion and decided that since they were all here, they naturally had to find out what was going on in this town.
After all, this town
It is not the location of the demon marked by the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Logically speaking, it should be much safer than other places. Why is it so abnormal?
Following the young man's pace, Gu Xiaotian and the others had already chased him to the door of his house.
The young man had just pushed the cart into his small yard, lit a fire and was preparing to cook. When he opened the door to throw things away, he saw Gu Xiaotian and three people sitting on the threshold of his house, smiling and saying "yes" to him. Say hello.
The young man frowned and said in a panic: "Didn't I let you go? Why are you still sitting in front of my house?"
Gu Xiaotian stood up and said, "Don't panic, we are here to help you solve the problem."
The young man poked his head out of the door, looked left and right, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Are you from Kyoto?"
Gu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he reacted quickly and nodded quickly, pretending to be an official and said: "It's the ones sent by Kyoto to investigate here."
With that said, he also showed the Heaven and Earth Alliance waist card given by Gu Qingfeng.
The young man had little experience, but after all, someone else brought out something with the words "Heaven and Earth Alliance" engraved on it, so he naturally had no grudges in his heart and hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the house.
In the room, the young man prepared the meal, scratched his head and said, "I am a small family, so I have suffered a lot from the officials."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, what do you call me brother?"
"The surname is Chen, and the single name is a common character."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, "Brother Chen Fan, tell me what you know."
Chen Fan sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face, and said bitterly: "The name of our town is Wolong Town. There was a great big shot in this town, so Wolong Town also got a lot of glory. The security and other aspects are smaller than others. The town is much better, and the townspeople live and work in peace and contentment.”
"But it's strange to say that the person who was in charge of our town was suddenly transferred away by the palace people, and a new guardian came. Ever since this new guardian arrived, strange things happened constantly. First, the old Zhang family at the end of the town My son didn't come home all night, and ended up dying tragically on the street the next morning, and then the family at the head of the town, and the whole family died in the courtyard. All in all, it was very evil."
Gu Xiaotian wondered: "Didn't the new guardian check carefully?"
Chen Fan said helplessly: "I checked, why didn't I check, but I couldn't find out why. In short, I just told everyone not to go out at night and stay at home."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Then why does the innkeeper refuse to take in outsiders?"
"The official didn't know something. Everyone stayed at home, but people are still missing and dying miserably. In short, the whole Wolong Town is in panic now. If I were a warrior, I would have run away long ago."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, indicating that he understood the situation, and asked Chen Fan to take them to the town tomorrow to get acquainted.
After a hasty dinner, Chen Fan arranged for an empty room for the three of them to rest.
In the room, Gu Xiaotian asked: "What do you think the problem is?"
Hao Hao said: "Isn't it obvious? There must be something wrong with the new guard."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, "I think so too, but logically speaking, the governor of a small town is not a high official. If he really dares to do this, he is not afraid that the news will spread to the palace and he will be demoted. ?」
The Heaven and Earth Alliance and its four alliances protect the order of the Eight Wastelands.
The imperial palace takes charge of the overall situation.
As for those minor officials, most of them are people who support their families.
Especially the officials in these small towns are all timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
Don’t seek no merit, just seek no fault.
The reason is very simple. These people are of average status and have only been working as minor officials for so many years.
Therefore, supporting the family is the first priority. As for those stupid things, even if they have ten courages, they would not dare to touch them.
Leng Qingqiu suddenly said: "This new guardian envoy should be related to the demon."
Gu Xiaotian made the floor, lay on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I'll find out if it's related tomorrow."
...
Wolong Town, the end of the town.
This is the residence of the local garrison.
A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks gently knocked on the door of the guardian envoy's room. After hearing a response from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.
The guard envoy was in the room, frowning, and asked, "What did you find out?"
The servant with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "Sir, the three of them have moved into that guy Chen Fan's room. I sent people to eavesdrop, but it's difficult to get close..."
The guard made a squeaking sound with his fingers and his eyes were vicious. He waved his hand and asked the servant to come closer and whispered into his ear: "Find an opportunity to deal with Chen Fan. Don't let him reveal anything more."
The servants agreed repeatedly and left the house.
After the servants left completely, the guardian opened the door slightly, checked carefully, and after confirming that no one was around, he immediately went up to the room and flew towards a jungle in the distance.
In the jungle, the guardian envoy came here and was not in a hurry. Instead, he wandered around for a while, stood further away, watching every move in the town, and waited until it was dark before he got into the jungle. .
After arriving in the jungle, the guard found a wooden board. He knocked on it twice, and after hearing a cough from inside, he opened the board and walked down.
In a dark secret room, a person is meditating here.
After a while, there was a loud coughing sound in the secret room.
The guardian wiped the sweat from his forehead and then said calmly: "Sir, those three people are here, what should I do next?"
Obviously, the guardian was extremely afraid of this gentleman.
The adult opened his eyes slightly and said in an extremely weak voice: "What you did in the past, you will do in the future."
The guard was startled and said timidly: "Sir, won't this alarm them?"
The man sitting there coughed violently again and spit out a large mouthful of blood. The guard was so frightened that he hurriedly ouched, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to him.
The adult took the handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said mysteriously: "If you don't do it, wouldn't that mean you have a problem?"
The guardian nodded quickly, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but there are still some minor troubles that I need you to..."
"You mean that Chen Fan, right?"
"My lord is wise, this Chen Fan is considered a bold one in the town, and now he has taken in those three people. Even after my spies were sent out, they didn't dare to get close, for fear of arousing suspicion."
The adult closed his eyes and pondered, then stood up, opened a box, took out a small bottle, and handed it to the guardian.
When the guardian looked at the contents of the small bottle, his hands began to shake and he almost broke the small bottle.
After apologizing repeatedly, the guard timidly said: "Sir, do you really want to use this thing against Chen Fan?"
The adult's face was gloomy, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "If we don't use this thing, is there a better way?"
The guardian no longer dared to speak.
He knew that this was an adult scolding him for not doing things well.
There had been many times before where he had almost been exposed, and it was this adult who wiped his ass.
Before leaving, the master suddenly warned: "One of them has some connection with me. If we meet him, please secretly pass on a message."
The guardian asked in confusion: "Sir, you are probably not telling me that?"
The adult didn't reply, just waved his hand and dragged his sick body back to his seat again.
The guardian didn't dare to ask any more questions. This adult sometimes always half-said what he said, but this was all the adult's business, and he had no right to ask questions. He only had to do his job well.
After all, this is about his future.
The guardian left the jungle and returned to his residence alone. He placed the small bottle that the adult gave him on the table and secretly smacked his lips, "This adult is really generous. He's just Chen Fan. He doesn't deserve to use it like this." The best poison."
Afterwards, the guardian locked the poison in his cabinet.
This poison is of great use to him, just Chen Fan.
He felt that he could handle it. If such a good poison was used on Chen Fan, he would feel a little distressed even if the adults didn't feel distressed.
