What is the Experience of Getting Married with the Demon Emperor?

As if sensing that Chen Anning's face was beginning to turn pale, Xiao Nianqing chuckled a few times, but held his hand instead.

Fingers intertwined.

When the skin is tightly attached, the warm touch also follows the trend.

Naturally, Xiao Nianqing would not be willing to let Chen Aning really go for a five mile run, physical exercise should be done in moderation.

Just like that incident, Emperor Xiao still knew when to stop, so as to ensure that Chen Anning would not faint from exhaustion.

……

……

That night.

There are still scattered lights in the village.

The scale of this village, which is quite close to the edge of the Western Desert, is not very large.

Although Xiao Nianqing said that it can accommodate 200 people, the size and arrangement of the houses that can be seen are more or less crowded for 200 people.

For some reason, half of the statue stood in the center of the village. Only the lower half of the stone gray statue was still on the base, and the upper half seemed to be still under construction.

It looks somewhat similar to the emperor statue of the Dalie Dynasty, but the emperor statue is engraved with a human being, and this half of the statue does not have a human figure, which is inexplicably a bit weird.

When Xiao Nianqing and Chen Anning came to the gate of the village, the two guards in front of the village were still on duty.

The clothes of the two are very simple, with a bit of mortal taste, but they are all holding magic weapon spears, which exude some turmoil of true energy.

Obviously, they are all monks.

It is not necessary to think about it, but under such a bad weather environment, the only ones who can live in the West Desert with peace of mind can only be monks.

When the two guards noticed Xiao Nianqing and Chen Anning's arrival, they were stunned for a while.

Then one of them spoke kindly:

"You two are from outside?"

The tone was very sincere and kind, but for some reason, the magic weapon spears crossed and overlapped, blocking Chen Anning and the two of them.

Chen Anning glanced at Xiao Nianqing, and conveyed the meaning with just one look.

Xiao Nian understood it, and put on a cold posture as always, saying: "This lady is from Ye Luocheng, an important disciple in the family has fled, and it is reported that he fled to West Desert, so I came here to look for the trace of the fugitive .”

A series of lies spit out from the mouth, Xiao Nianqing's face was not flushed, her heart was not beating, her expression was calm and composed, coupled with her graceful figure and glamorous appearance, she was indeed a lady of the family, which increased the persuasiveness of her words.

As for Chen An Ning, he always stood by Xiao Nianqing's side, but deliberately stood at the back to show his humble status, and also deliberately pretended to be a servant.

The two husband and wife cooperate with each other tacitly, and the disguised identities of the lady and the servant are natural, and there are almost no flaws in the appearance and temperament.

The two guards looked at each other and exchanged meaningful glances.

Then one of the guards clasped his hands and replied: "Then I'm sorry, miss... We in Li Yang Village haven't seen an outsider for a long time, let alone the disciple of the family who fled from Ye Luocheng."

Xiao Nianqing's eyes dimmed, and then she cupped her hands at random in a symbolic way, and said calmly: "Then I'm afraid there are no clues we want to find here, so I'm disturbing everyone on duty, we'll leave now."

"Wait a minute."

Another guard opened his mouth in time, showing a sincere smile, and said with good intentions: "The nearest village or city-state is dozens of miles away. It's getting dark today, why don't you two rest in our Li Yang Village for a day?" , It’s not too late to start tomorrow.”

Xiao Nianqing stopped slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Although the sky is dark, what does it matter to us monks?"

The guard smiled wryly, and said, "The two of you are indeed foreigners. I don't know how strange this West Desert is... The more late at night in West Desert, the more you can't go out to wander. Being haunted by ghosts is a terrible trouble."

Chen Anning's complexion changed: "Haunted by ghosts?"

Xiao Nianqing's footsteps, which she wanted to leave, slowly turned back, and she obviously also became interested in this demon.

She appropriately showed some hesitation, and asked softly, "Can you tell us about the ghost?"

The guard thought for a while, and then took a serious look at Xiao Nianqing, as if to make sure she was safe.

Then he set his eyes on Chen Anning, but he didn't stay on this weak-looking servant for too long.

After a while, the guards of Li Yang Village chose to let the two go.

"It just so happens that there is a vacant room, the two of you can have a good rest."

"Besides, since the two of you have come to West Desert to hunt down the family's fleeing disciples, some common sense in West Desert naturally cannot be left behind. This matter of demons and ghosts is the most important thing in West Desert."

When mentioning ghosts, the faces of the two guards were a little gloomy, as if they were very afraid of it.

Chen Anning and Xiao Nianqing looked at each other, and then the couple reached a consensus at this moment.

Xiao Nianqing nodded and bowed politely.

"Then trouble you two and take us into the village."

685. If you don’t pretend anymore, then I won’t pretend either.

Li Yang Village.

Dust blows with the wind.

In the deep night, Chen Anning and Xiao Nianqing followed the guards of Li Yang Village and came to a wooden house.

The items in the house are quite neatly displayed, except that it is a bit dirty with a layer of dust, generally speaking, it is still spacious.

For a one-night stay, with a little cleaning, this log cabin will come in handy.

Naturally, there is no need to bother the guards of Li Yang Village to do the cleaning task. Chen Anning can clean the house with a little effort.

Xiao Nianqing casually pointed at the half-burned candle lamp, and the faint silky magic shattered across the wick, and a burst of bright fire suddenly ignited, illuminating half of the wooden house, making the house less dark and weird .

Chen An Ning swept the dust on the wooden bench, sat down immediately, looked around and said, "This room is quite spacious, but there are few furniture."

"It's an idle room." Xiao Nianqing came to the bed in the back of the room and sat on the soft white quilt. "There is only one bed, and it's a little bit old considering how old it is." It's the beginning of the year."

Chen Anning did not deny Xiao Nianqing's words, he stretched out his hand to touch the wooden table in front of him.

Whether it is the touch or the cracks on it, it shows that this wooden table is old.

At least on the surface, the house had not been lived in for a long, long time.

But on the contrary-

Chen Anning got up slowly, and came to the windows on both sides of the gate, "The windows are quite new, as if they were installed not long ago."

Xiao Nianqing chuckled twice, she already knew what Chen Anning meant by this.

She just sat in front of the bed calmly, and when she was about to speak, she saw a shadow appearing in front of the door.

someone is coming.

Chen Anning took two steps back, and immediately heard someone outside the door asking:

"Two, can I interrupt you?"

Before Chen Anning had time to respond, she saw Xiao Nianqing flashing to her side.

Emperor Xiao took the initiative to step forward and opened the door.

Accompanied by a creaking sound, an old man with a crooked body and a cane who described as old stepped into the door.

His pale hair fell down on his forehead, almost covering his eyes, his hunchbacked and short body trembled twice, and bowed to Chen Anning and his wife.

Xiao Nianqing stared at the old man: "Dare to ask..."

"This old man is the village chief of Li Yang Village. He heard that there are outsiders visiting, so he specially came to visit the two of you."

The old man spoke slowly, his voice was not as weak as that frail body, but quite powerful.

Xiao Nianqing showed understanding, turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, signaling the old village chief to sit down.

"Then you're welcome."

The old village head laughed, leaning on the pure black cane and moved to the wooden table step by step, and sat down with some difficulty.

Immediately, Xiao Nianqing sat opposite the old village head, while Chen Anning behind him slowly closed the door.

On a moonless night, darkness is the main color of the world.

Only half of the candle on the wooden table was still bringing bright light.

It's just that at this moment, for some reason, the candlelight is still flickering in the airtight room.

……

After sitting down, Xiao Nianqing didn't intend to chat, and went straight to the topic:

"Dare to ask the old village chief, what is the origin of the so-called West Desert ghost?"

Hearing this, the old village chief smiled again, stroked his beard and said: "Miss is really straightforward, but I think it's true, the most dangerous thing in the night in the West Desert is the rampage of demons and ghosts. Since the two of you came to the West Desert to find someone, It is natural to pay attention to such deeds.”

At this time, the old village chief put on a serious look and said in a deep voice: "Since the natural disaster came to the world and the Western Paradise was turned into a desert, all spirit beasts have died, and no spirit creatures can be seen within a hundred miles. Since then, demons and ghosts have appeared every night."

"Some people say that the ghost was transformed by a demon cultivator, and others say that the ghost is a combination of a spirit beast and a spirit plant after death... No one knows what happened, but most of the monks who dared to wander in the middle of the night back then were There are no bones left, and the very few who escaped back are mostly crazy or stupid."

Xiao Nianqing frowned, and said in a deep voice, "No exceptions?"

The old village chief shook his head: "Of course there were. Later, there were also high-level monks who traveled together in pairs. In the end, although they succeeded in killing the ghosts, they paid a very heavy price..."

"As a result, the West Desert people know the face of the ghost. It is not an ordinary spirit beast. It is as if someone used evil methods to forcibly refine the bones of the spirit beast. To this day, the ghost is still rampant at night in the West Desert. .”

"Don't go out in the middle of the night in the West Desert, the demons swallowing the sky want to take your life... In the West Desert, unless you are ascetic monks with extremely high levels, you must never go out and wander around in the middle of the night, that is simply asking for your own death."

It sounds really mysterious.

For monks, evil and ghosts are not uncommon.

Many monks take it as their duty to eliminate evil and defend the way, so they would not be afraid of that demon.

However, the fact is that Ximo has derived such a common saying to warn the world, which means that the ghost may have taken many lives.

The Western Desert people were afraid of being killed by the ghosts, and they really had no other choice, so they chose to retreat.

After listening to the words of the old village chief, Xiao Nian nodded clearly.

Immediately afterwards, the Emperor suddenly changed the topic to another place: "I already understand the matter of demons and ghosts, but I still have some questions to ask the old village chief."

"Oh?" The old village head raised his head curiously, and glanced at Xiao Nianqing: "We Li Yang Village have never seen the escaped disciple that the young lady mentioned...so regarding this matter, the old man has more than enough energy, Can't really help."

"Other than the fleeing disciple, there are naturally other things to ask."

"Other things? Miss said..."
