Immortal Sword Pavilion

Chapter 25 Before the Sacrifice... (Please recommend for collection, revised version)

"No need for the time being, we'll leave the matters in the village to us. Tomorrow will be the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the River God. It's better for you to pay attention to the outside of the village," Xiao Zhan said.

After all, in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Li Kui was obviously the key. Although what happened tonight was extremely sudden, letting Zhou Yu enter the village at this time would only reveal their cards.

It's better to be a deterrent just outside the village.

"That's fine, the person behind the scenes shows his feet during the day, but acts in a hurry at night. His temper is a bit too hasty." Zhou Yu pondered.

"As for the outside of the village, the road from Hegu Village to Changliuhe is under my supervision. Until you came, there was nothing unusual, and no demons escaped."

"Then it seems that the monsters in the ancestral hall are indeed the villagers' secret actions." Xiao Zhan said, frowning thoughtfully after hearing this.

"I don't know, Fellow Daoist Zhou, is there a magic weapon that can test the demonization of villagers?"

"My generation of swordsmanship relies on only one sword. If a monster comes to slash it with one sword..." Zhou Yu shook his head, glanced at Xiao Zhan, and explained.

"As for the magic weapon to test the villagers, I really don't have one here."

It seems that looking back, I have to ask my uncle for it, Zhou Yu thought in his heart, and said again.

"Besides, according to what you said, the monster is not a real monster. On the contrary, it is very likely that it was transformed by a talisman. Unless you can see it on the spot, it will probably not be detected even if it has a magic weapon."

"What Zhou Daoyou said is very true, but I am impatient."

"It's just that, unless that person makes another move, it will be difficult for us to find out who is behind the scenes.

Maybe this matter has something to do with that Daoist Shen, but if there is no evidence, I can't take people at will. "

"If Taoist Shen is the only one in the village, then this must have something to do with him.

If you want, I can sneak into the village to investigate tonight, but in this way, there is no guarantee that my trace will be known to the other party. "Zhou Yu said solemnly,
Immortal cultivators first give birth to spiritual consciousness and search all directions, it is certainly convenient to investigate.

But if the other party is also an immortal cultivator and prepares the corresponding talisman utensils in advance, with his current cultivation level, he can't completely shield the other party's perception.

Naturally, he would not pay attention to a small Daoist.

But if there is someone else who is hiding, if he is exposed in advance, if the other party's cultivation level is not weaker than his, it will instead pose a fatal threat.

This is also the reason for the division of labor between the two during the day.

Besides, Xiao Zhan is an innate warrior, and his martial arts aura is sensitive to threats. At the current stage, he has far-reaching spiritual consciousness.

As long as he is not a Taoist master or a congenital master, Xiao Zhan has the power to fight, and he can last until his arrival.

Although Jianxiu focused on killing and cutting, after all, Zhou Yu took the path of cultivating immortals. The early stage was peaceful, and he was just a fledgling.

When it comes to the sense of breath in life and death fights, it may not be comparable to Xiao Zhan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel strenuous when he was leading the way of cultivating the evil cultivator before.

"The day after tomorrow is the time of offering sacrifices. No matter what they do, they will definitely show their feet." Zhou Yu thought for a while and said his conjecture.

"At present, the monster pretends to be the village head to harm people. To some extent, it also shows that the village head has nothing to do with this matter for the time being. Master Xiao can take this opportunity to communicate with him more and try, and maybe there will be a breakthrough."

"I think so too, so I'll leave the monitoring of the village and Changliuhe to Fellow Daoist Zhou." Xiao Zhan nodded and left quickly.

Talking with Zhou Yu, although he didn't find anything extra, but he felt more and more that the sword repairer who came out of Ziyang temple in front of him was extraordinary.

Not to mention careful thinking, in investigating and handling cases, it is far better than those experienced people who have gone down the mountain for the first time, and some inferences are even stronger than those who have been handling cases all year round.

"A person who cultivates immortals is really the proud son of heaven...Fortunately, martial artists of my generation can not be weaker than others, and even stronger." Looking at the vast night, Xiao Zhan said silently, in the heart of martial arts, Become more determined.

"Where did the thoughtfulness come from? It's just that I watched too many criminal investigation dramas." Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief seeing Xiao Zhan's receding back.

In terms of talent for cultivating immortals, he is not as good as those big guys in the sect, but when it comes to knowledge, insights and worldly vision, we are lonely.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu got up and glanced at Hegu Village, where the lights had been turned off, and then at the quiet and gloomy Changliu River, with a twitch of his mouth.

"It's all hidden waves..." As he muttered, the Qingming sword next to the big bluestone turned into a stream of light, carrying Zhou Yu around the mountain and exploring along the river.

……

The bright and clear moonlight is pleasant to watch, wrapped in the long-flowing river all the way to the east, dotted with a little white shimmer while flowing with the waves, it seems to be harmonious.

But if you look closely, the river is deep and deep, and it seems that there are ferocious beasts lurking, and the panic is infinitely magnified, which is frightening.

"Still not." After patrolling around to no avail, Zhou Yu landed on a slope near the east somewhere, and Zhou Yu felt a little complicated.

I hope that there are real monsters, so that this problem can be completely solved, and I also hope that there will be no monsters, so that I can get through it smoothly.

"It's just that if it doesn't exist, the hearts of the people in Hegu Village may be a little messy." Zhou Yu frowned, and his gaze was sharp.

Whether it is a sacrifice of a living person, or a kidnapped person...

"But there are two river gods, and the little fish among them has to be found out, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my uncle." After a while, Zhou Yu pondered.

After all, the matter of the river god and the evil spirits is his main purpose.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu regained his sword and went away with his sword.

As for the mysteries in the village, we still have to be more stable and leave it to Dangmosi.

thump……

Not long after Zhou Yu left, the Changliu River in the distance suddenly stirred up quite a huge wave on the surface of the river.

The next day, the sacrificial ceremony became more and more lively, and many traveling merchants also joined in, making the village look extremely prosperous.

The children wore crotch trousers, and amidst the smiles of their parents, they walked through the crowd excitedly, shaking rattle drums together.

At that time...

"Lord Wang, the old man Li Sanhuai is visiting." In the inn, Er Niu accompanied Li Sanhuai standing in front of Wang Hu's door, respectfully said.

"Village chief, it's early." Xiao Zhan opened the door and said with a smile.

"Master Xiao, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit... It's just that yesterday, thanks to Wang Catcher's battle with demons in the ancestral hall, the danger was killed in the cradle. Now Wang Catcher is seriously injured, and I specially sent some supplements to help him recuperate." Li Sanhuai While talking, he motioned Er Niu to put the basket into the house.

"Since Catcher Wang is still recuperating, I won't bother you any more. It's just a matter of catching monsters. Please help Master Xiao a lot."

"It's easy to say, but I have something I want to ask the village chief." Xiao Zhan said.

"Master Xiao, may I ask, if an old man knows, he must know everything without saying anything."

"The abduction and trafficking of children in your village may be rumored, but the fact that Village Chief Li was framed is true.

The village head may be able to hide it for others, but I don't know if the person behind it will let you go? "Xiao Zhan said with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Of course, this matter is just a little speculation based on what happened last night. There is no place to verify whether it is true."

"This is what a demon did." Li Sanhuai paused, without any hesitation.
