Nanlin Bamboo Demon

Chapter 60

There are several villages on the outskirts of the imperial city, Caojiao Village and at least a dozen villages next to it, Gu Nianran and Wei Fu passed by only a few of them.

Borrowing the moonlight, Gu Nianran managed to find Caojie Village.Perhaps it was already midnight, and the villagers should all be asleep, and none of the houses had lights.

Gu Nianran landed in front of Caojie Village, when a gust of wind blew by, the sand was blown into his eyes.

Gu Nianran narrowed his eyes, a tear mixed with gravel spilled out of his eyes, he picked up his sleeve and wiped it.

There is no sound in this place except the sound of the wind, not even the chirping of insects, nor the sound of crickets that are often heard in the Southern Forest.It is no exaggeration to use the four words "lifeless" to describe it.

"Ahem!" Suddenly, there was a very penetrating coughing sound from Caojie Village, and the grass on the ground was also bent over by the shock.Although the penetrating power is extremely strong, it can be felt that the man is not young, and the voice is hoarse and old from the throat.

A gust of cold wind blew from Caojie Village, the wind was mixed with a mess of evil spirits, which made Gu Nianran feel uncomfortable all over.

He pulled the collar of his clothes and walked towards the village.

The village was extremely desolate, and the walls built of gravel were overgrown with weeds. It looked as if it had been abandoned for many years.

As soon as Gu Nianran took a step into the entrance of the village, he was stopped by someone.As expected, it was Hong Yi.

Hongyi held a bow in front of Gu Nianran, "What are you sneaking back for?"

This Mrs. Hongyi seems to have been trying to prevent him from going in, Gu Nianran wondered, "What secrets do you have in this village, that you don't allow me to go in?"

Madam Hongyi raised her head, "What secrets do I have in this village that let you sneak in in the middle of the night?"

Gu Nianran was not very good at arguing with others, and now she doesn't want to waste her time talking.

"I'll make it clear below. Madam Hongyi must know that the Wei family is the head of the fairy sect in charge of the order of the Three Realms. This time, Mr. Wei and I came here not to visit relatives, but to find the abnormality here and solve it. "

Madam Hongyi didn't let go of the hand holding the bow, she pressed it against Gu Nianran's chest, and slowly faced him, moving the bow up to Gu Nianran's throat, "You mean a change?"

Gu Nianran's neck felt a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but lean back slightly, "Yes, the change happened here has already alarmed the Wei family. Madam thinks, can we still hide it?"

Madam Hongyi held the bow tightly, stared into Gu Nianran's eyes for a long time, as if she wanted to see if he was lying, and finally put down the bow that was against Gu Nianran.

In fact, Gu Nianran was not sure whether Caojie Village was where those black spots on Tingyuan's body were located, but he just wanted to cheat, but he did it unexpectedly.

"I don't want to hide it," Madam Hongyi raised her head and looked at the moon, "it's just..." She said and turned to Gu Nianran, "I can't trust you."

"We... mean..."

"Everyone except our grass village."

Gu Nianran felt that although Mrs. Hongyi was a strong and brave woman, she was really too stubborn and strong sometimes.

"Why doesn't Madam Hongyi trust anyone?"

"Cough cough!"

Before Madam Hongyi could reply, the coughing sound came again.

"Hongyi..." the hoarse voice called out.

Hongyi turned around abruptly, "Grandmother!" After saying that, she quickly ran towards the village.

Gu Nianran couldn't see clearly, he could only hear the conversation.

"Mother-in-law! Why did you come out! I can handle him!"

"Since he said it was from the Wei family... let's see what they can do... Ahem... No one in the demon world cares about it... I want to see this self-proclaimed most righteous man in the world... The Wei family of the door...cough cough...what can you do..."

The sound was getting closer and closer. Gu Nianran saw that Hongyi was supporting a mother-in-law who was only as high as her shoulders. She was walking very slowly. In addition, the mother-in-law seemed a little fat. Judging from the shadow cast by the moonlight, she looked like a mother-in-law. A slow, erect turtle.

Gu Nianran couldn't bear to let her mother-in-law go any longer, so she took the initiative to move forward and saw her mother-in-law's face up close.Although the mother-in-law's voice is old and her figure is no longer young, her skin is not as wrinkled as imagined.

Although Gu Nianran was surprised, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Hi, mother-in-law, I'm Gu Nianran."

"Oh? Gu Nianran? Then you are the son of Gu Bo and Raniang?"

It's not the first time someone guessed his identity just by hearing his name, he was not surprised, he nodded softly, "Yes."

"You are actually Gu Bo's child?" Madam Hongyi asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"Hmm..." the mother-in-law said, "Then... Hong Yi... take him there..."

"Mother-in-law! Did you believe him so quickly?!"

"Since he is the child of my savior, I naturally have to believe it."

It sounds like my parents have saved this mother-in-law, but now is not the right moment to miss the past, Gu Nianran is focused on the "over there" that her mother-in-law said just now.

Hongyi's tone was displeased, "Come with me!"

"There is Mrs. Lao Hongyi."

Hongyi didn't look at Gu Nianran, and with a wave of her hand, a barrier immediately rose at the entrance of the village.

"Follow closely, I won't care about you if you get lost."

"it is good."

Mrs. Hongyi helped her mother-in-law to walk in front, while Gu Nianran was at the back figuring out the way and thinking about how to ask what happened here, but her mother-in-law spoke before he opened his mouth.

"How many of you are here?"

"Only me and Young Master Wei San."

The mother-in-law stopped for a while, then continued to walk, "Then I'm afraid you can't solve this matter, ahem... I thought... how much you want to deal with this matter..."

"Can mother-in-law tell me what happened?"

"You will know when you arrive..."

This village is full of dilapidated houses, as can be seen from some of the unfinished house numbers hanging outside the houses, here...the people who used to live here were supposed to be demons.

Do they engrave their monsters on the house number and hang them outside the house?Gu Nianran stared at those house numbers and wondered.

"That's the rule of our whole village. Our place was originally a place where little monsters lived together. It was too messy... so the seal... oh, that is, Hongyi's husband, came up with this method so that we can know each other. Basically, we can get along better." The mother-in-law could see what Gu Nianran was thinking, so she replied.

"Why do you all live in this village?"

"The ones who live here are all monsters with little cultivation, no cultivation and no ability to survive, and some monsters are afraid of people... Living here, someone will protect them, so some monsters from other places don't care if they hear about it. Will come...for blessing..."

Hearing "not cultivated", Gu Nianran thought of his previous self and understood how vulnerable it was, "Then, who will protect them?"

"It's the envelope you mentioned just now... oh..." The mother-in-law paused, then continued, "But..."

"Mother-in-law!"

"Hongyi...why do you persist...now that they want to help, why do you still refuse?"

"I……"

"It's been so many years... Not only have you no news about him, you can't even take care of those guys here..."

Hongyi didn't speak any more, she seemed to be holding her breath, and walked with her head buried.

"The envelope, probably, disappeared ten years ago..."

"Missing?"

"That's right. One day, he went out to look for a kind of medicinal material, but he never came back, and there was no news."

"Looking for medicinal materials? Do you know where to find medicinal materials?" Gu Nianran couldn't help but tense up when he heard the medicinal materials.

"Feng Yue was born not long ago, and his body was hot all day long. At night, his body was covered with rashes, and the demon hair had not faded. I don't know where he got a folk remedy...cough cough...cough cough..." the mother-in-law covered her face Pursing his mouth, he tried his best to calm down, "I'm really old... I can't do it after just a few words... Cough cough... Feng... The child who sealed the order went to find the medicine in that prescription, and never came back Pass……"

"Feng Yue...is...that little girl who is afraid of strangers?"

"That's right! The one you saw that day was my daughter!" Hongyi said loudly, "Don't get close to her!"

Gu Nianran was helpless, and then asked her mother-in-law, "Does anyone know where Senior Feng Dan went to find medicinal materials?"

The mother-in-law shook her head, "No one knows."

"Then who told Senior Feng Shan the prescription? Since Senior didn't come back, how did Feng Yue get better?"

"I don't know who told him that prescription...cough cough...just...I only know that he went to the imperial city to find a lot of doctors, I don't know...whether one of them told him... As for... As for Feng Yue... that child recovered from a sudden illness one morning... No one knows what happened the night before... Cough cough... Some people suspect that Feng Dan came back... But if he comes back, cough Cough... why do you want to leave again, and never return. "

"Grandma, we're here." Hong Yi interrupted.

At this time, the house in front of me was not much different from other abandoned houses, but the door was cleaner than others, as if someone cleaned it frequently.

"Go in." The mother-in-law said.

Before stepping into the door, Gu Nianran slightly felt that the room was full of evil spirits, but it was mixed with many weak evil spirits...

"Open!" Hongyi shouted loudly.

As soon as Gu Nianran stepped into the door, he saw that the room became bright in an instant, which made him cover his eyes with his wide sleeves.

When he opened his eyes, the scene in front of him made cold sweat break out on his back.

It was obvious that the scene outside the house that he saw just now was a barrier set up by Hongyi to confuse someone.Although the environment inside the house looks much better than the outside, the situation presented here is not good at all.

This place seems to be specially built to protect these monsters. Most of them seem to have lost some of their abilities, lying on the ground in strange shapes.The room in this enchantment is definitely not smaller than Nanlin, when looking at the same kind of people with hideous faces all over the floor, Gu Nianran felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

"They... What's the matter?" Gu Nianran asked.

"They have disappeared intermittently over the years, and were thrown at the entrance of the village not long after. Every time a few of them disappeared at the same time, and were thrown back at the same time... Each time the injuries were different... And some... ...and never came back after she disappeared..." Hongyi walked to a monster whose half face was ruined, and knelt down, "She is a rabbit monster, she disappeared for five days, and when she came back, she was completely gone. Consciousness, appearance is destroyed, demon soul is damaged..."

Hongyi touched her face while saying, "Even if I make a barrier, they will still disappear and be thrown back..." Hongyi lowered her head, unable to see her emotions clearly, "I... look at They were hurt one by one...but the murderer couldn't be found...not even a trace..."

"Heh...hehe...you...of course you can't protect..." A boa constrictor slowly climbed up from the monster pile. His legs had degenerated into a snake's tail, but his upper body was still in the shape of a human, with scales all over his skin. Looking like a monster, he looked at Hong Yi, "Because the murderer is your husband...you are his accomplice!"

Hong Yi ignored him and went to see the other demons on her own.

"Don't think you can change my opinion by ignoring me! You...we only encountered this after your husband disappeared! It must be him! It must be him...pretending to protect us, but he is planning this Such a genocide disaster! His heart is so vicious, it is you who deserve to die! What is wrong with us!"

Hongyi still ignored him and let him scold him.

The mother-in-law looked at him and sighed, "It's not just him who thinks that way, most people here think that way... Sometimes I wonder... Does Hong Yi think the same way... That's why he stays here and takes care of him." these people……"

"Does the mother-in-law also think that senior Feng Dan did it?"

"No, Feng Dan is the smartest and kindest person I've ever met. As a fox demon, he rarely kills...he has great love, a kind heart, and strong demon power. He should...be a fox demon The patriarch...how can he only want to live a peaceful and peaceful life...his temperament...can't do such cruel things..."

"Where does the mother-in-law think Senior Feng Dan has gone?"

The mother-in-law looked at Hong Yi, "I've never talked to her, Feng Dan may no longer be alive... that's her only spiritual support... If she stops thinking about it... I'm afraid that child Feng Yue will become an orphan It's..."

"According to my mother-in-law, why did the murderer do these things to the people in this village?"

"The method is different every time, but there is no trace of abuse. Most of them are damaged in appearance and appearance. With my short-sightedness as an old man, I really can't see the murderer's purpose."

"Grandma, are the abnormalities of those people in other villages... related to this incident?"

"Those people... I don't know... I'm an old man... I can't think of much... And Hongyi doesn't care about other people who don't want to do it. Why, do you think these two things are related?"

Gu Nianran nodded slightly, "Well, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, but the people in Caojiao Village and its surrounding villages are so weird, I guess, someone has been eyeing this place for a long time."

"Focus on here? Why?"

"I'm afraid...the purpose is not simple..."
