Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 40 Monster
Chen Erniu jumped up from the collapsed bed, pulled off the clothes beside the bed, put them on indiscriminately, pulled his son and ran out the door, and hurriedly asked:

"What the hell is going on!"

The eldest son of Chen, called Chen Sanshui, was reaching out anxiously to take down the long knife on the wall, and shouted:
"Dad, bring the knife, Dad, bring the knife! Talk on the road!"

Chen Erniu took the long knife, wrapped it around his waist, and ran towards the village with big strides.

"A villager went to patrol the fields at night, and felt that there was someone in the field. The villager thought that someone was doing that in the field, so he quickly hid himself and peeked, but saw a bloody man with the back of his head missing. The dead body, scared the crap on the spot."

While talking, Chen Sanshui hurriedly followed Chen Erniu.

"How did you die?"

"The back of the head was smashed, the brain was dug out, and the death was miserable."

Upon hearing this, Chen Erniu quickly stopped in his tracks, and said in a surprised voice:
"Can you send someone to notify the master?"

"Never..."

Chen Sanshui replied somewhat hesitantly.

"Idiot! Do you think you can hide this matter?!"

Chen Erniu immediately jumped into a rage, shouting that he hated iron for being weak.

"I've already discussed with that person and several families in Tianbian... Tell them to keep quiet, the first murder case in the past few years happened at my Lichuankou, I'm afraid that Xu Wenshan will be bad for my father!"

Seeing that his father was anxious, Chen Sanshui quickly explained.

"Idiot! This man's brain has been dug out!"

"This……"

Seeing his father's frightened and angry face, Chen Sanshui couldn't help slowing down a bit, as if he had come to his senses.

"An ordinary murder can dig out the brains?! Not to mention that Xu Wenshan and I were fighting for others to see. We are very satisfied with each other. Can he, Xu Wenshan, kill me? He killed me for no reason and offended this Li Chuankou 100 Multiple households?"

"You brothers are all as stupid as pigs, then Xu Wenshan is younger than me, if I'm not around from now on, what are you waiting for to fight with others?!"

"Father……"

This questioning made Chen Sanshui feel ashamed, he lowered his head and said nothing.

With a sullen face, Chen Erniu was very upset, and said coldly:

"I'm afraid that there will be a monster, so I will go and inform the master in person."

Chen Sanshui nodded vigorously, and hurriedly headed towards Lijing Village. Chen Erniu watched his eldest son go away, and finally there was a bit of panic and sadness on his face, and he said softly:

"I don't know how much this monster weighs. Sanshui's eyes are brighter, and he can leave an heir for my Chen family."

Chen Erniu had personally experienced the terrible drought at Lichuankou. When he was still young, he sat and played in front of the door, watching the big sparrow covered with red flames land at the Lichuankou, swallowing it like a bug. After a few villagers fluttered away, leaving Lichuankou with a three-month-long steaming field.

The surviving villagers ate up all the edible things near the mouth of Lichuan, scooped water from the Meichi River, and poured it into the ground, but it all disappeared. Chen Erniu's father picked up loads of water, After watering the ground for nine days, he committed suicide holding his starving wife.

Chen Erniu left the dead body of his parents, gritted his teeth and ran away to Lijing Village with tears in his eyes. He knocked his head bleeding all over the place, and finally entered Li's house.

At this time, every household in Lijing Village was full of fellow villagers who fled a few days ago. Some people tried to attack the big households, but were beaten to death by the tenants who were fellow villagers a few days ago. More people had to bury their heads and rushed to Dali Mountain.

Three months later, people came back slowly. No one dared to mention that day, and no one dared to mention how the more than 100 people who stayed in the village survived. There were only about 400 people left in Lichuankou, which originally had nearly 300 households with [-] people.

Seeing the flames flickering in front of him, Chen Erniu suddenly woke up from his memories, pushed away his second son Chen Qiushui who came to greet him, raised the torch, and looked at the bloody, empty-headed corpse on the ground, tears streaming down his face, gnashing his teeth The ground said:

"Who is this?"

"Lao Ye from the head of the village."

Looking at the tears on his father's face, Chen Qiushui replied with anxiety in his heart.

"Go and wake up the whole village, light a fire, and grab a knife and stick."

Chen Erniu gave an order in a low voice, but saw a villager hurrying over from the village gate. Seeing him, he opened his mouth and said:

"Master Chen, Master Chen! The master came to ask: Is there something strange about Li Chuankou?"

Chen Erniu was stunned for a moment, terrified and full of doubts, he thought:
"How can Lichuan go to Lijing so fast! If there is an informer in the village, it can't be so fast this time. I'm afraid that if someone in this village dies, the master will know, and there should be some means to deal with that person." monster."

The furrowed brows loosened immediately, and Chen Erniu felt a lot more relaxed, and replied loudly:

"There are fears of monsters in the village, so I have already sent someone to inform the master!"

----

Li Xiangping silently looked at the blue-gray mirror on the stage. The broken mirror seemed to have recovered slightly compared to when he picked it up when he was a child, but it still looked like it would be broken at any time. A faint silver-white light radiated from the mirror. Come out, it looks quite dreamy.

"How long has that person been gone?"

"It's been a quarter of an hour."

Li Tongya looked out the window anxiously, put down the wooden slip in his hand, and said again:

"I should go out, I'm afraid those people won't see us, and they will break the rules and come to this backyard."

"go!"

Li Xiangping looked at Li Xuanxuan who was sitting cross-legged, and said in a deep voice.

After leaving the backyard, they saw Li Yesheng running around in the main courtyard like ants on a hot pot. When they saw Li Tongya, their eyes lit up, and they said hastily:
"Li Chuankou sent people here, saying that someone's brains have been poached!"

"Dig out the brains?"

Li Xiangping was stunned, looked at Li Tongya and said:

"I'm afraid there are monsters."

"good."

Li Tongya nodded solemnly, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice:
"The monster retreated after digging out its brain. It should be still afraid of people. Its cultivation base is not too high. It must still be in the fetal resting state. If it was in the Qi training period, it could have killed the entire village and left in the fog."

"I gonna go see!"

Li Xiangping pondered for a while, frowned slightly, and said to Li Yesheng:

"Call the strong men in the village and bring your weapons."

"Yes!"

Li Yesheng responded several times and hurried down. Seeing Li Yesheng walking away, Li Tongya frowned and said:

"I don't know the depth of that monster, you and I shouldn't go."

"If I don't go today, my Li family's prestige in these villages will be gone. I have to go!"

"Second brother, you are guarding on the mountain. I will go and find out. You know my temperament and will not take risks."

"Even if something happens, I still have you in the Li family. At worst, I will give up Li Chuankou and ask the sect for help."

After saying that, Li Xiangping nodded towards Li Tongya, took the bow and arrow, put on the yellow-brown rattan clothes, and hurried down the mountain.
