I'm slaying demons in the anime

Beichen Xiao looked at the thieves lying on the ground and felt extremely depressed.

Am I such a fat sheep?

"Partner, perhaps this is the characteristic of this era."

"Although I had anticipated this, I didn't expect this era to be so bad."

Jilongjian couldn't help but say at this time that according to the soldiers, the journey from Beichen Xiao to the village was only more than 20 miles.

But for various reasons, Beichen Xiao actually walked twice as far.

And this was already the third wave of thieves he had encountered.

"I know. It's a war after all."

Beichen Xiao shook his head and didn't say much.

As one of the most chaotic eras in Japanese history, he was not surprised at all to see demons and thieves running rampant.

However, encountering so many thieves in just a few dozen miles still made Beichen Xiao feel a little annoyed.

"But we should be able to reach the village soon. Hopefully we can find clues about those kids there, as well as a map."

After Beichen Xiao took away all the money from the thieves and stripped them naked and hung them on trees, he continued to move towards the village.

This time, Beichen Xiao did not encounter any thieves and soon arrived at the village that the soldiers had mentioned.

"This place is really shabby."

Although Beichen Xiao had prepared himself mentally when he heard the two soldiers talk about this place before.

But when he really walked in, he couldn't help but start to sigh.

Dilapidated thatched huts, and pale and skinny old people and children.

Everyone was wearing tattered clothes.

There was no young or middle-aged person to be seen among them.

Even the most hateful thieves and robbers would probably shake their heads when seeing such a situation.

After seeing Beichen Xiao walk in, the surrounding villagers all showed vigilant looks at the same time.

The people here seem to be extremely wary of outsiders.

"Hello, may I ask what is your purpose in coming to our village?"

Beichen Xiao ignored the gazes around him and walked around the village casually. Finally, an old man who looked like the village chief walked up to Beichen Xiao and started asking him questions.

Of course, although he is called the village chief, he only seems to be slightly better than the surrounding villagers.

His face looked pale, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.

He should be only fifty years old, but he looks like he is over seventy.

"Hello, old man. I am an exorcist passing by here. I heard that there are monsters in your area, so I came here specifically to fight against them."

Beichen Xiao, who had already thought of the wording, spoke to the old man at this time.

"Exorcist?!"

Hearing Beichen Xiao's words, a gleam of light appeared in the old man's eyes.

It seems that there are indeed monsters here.

But soon, before Beichen Xiao could open his mouth to speak, the gleam in the other person's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Exorcist. Our village no longer has the money to hire you to kill monsters."

The old man looked very reserved at this time.

Come to think of it, this kind of place doesn't look like it has money.

Beichen Xiao even doubted whether he could extort a single penny from this place.

If it were an ordinary exorcist, he would basically turn around and leave at this moment.

No matter what era, exorcists who perform exorcisms for free are ultimately a minority and freaks.

Most exorcists charge quite a lot of money.

However, it is obvious that Beichen Xiao is such a weird person.

The purpose of his coming here was not to ask for payment.

However, before asking the other party for information, Beichen Xiao didn't mind helping the other party kill the monster.

Besides, Beichen Xiao also needs to find a place to stay tonight.

"Don't worry, I don't need any reward for coming here. I can help you kill the monster for free."

"You just need to tell me a few pieces of information and give me a map of the area."

Beichen Xiao said to the old man at this time.

"What, what, you don't need payment? Is this true?!" The old man's eyes widened when he heard that Beichen Xiao didn't need payment.

Even looking into Beichen Xiao's eyes was like seeing a god.

"Of course. Actually, I just arrived in Owari Province not long ago and I want to accumulate some fame. So, I won't charge any fees for now."

Beichen Xiao said so.

"So, can you tell me first, what is the situation here?"

..............................

In the village chief's house, Beichen Xiao was sitting on the floor with the village chief.

"I'm sorry, Master Exorcist, there's really nothing left in the village. This little tea is the only thing I can offer you."

The village chief tremblingly handed a cup of tea to Beichen Xiao.

Rather than calling it tea, it would be better to say that this is just a cup of water brewed from grass roots.

Even Beichen Xiao couldn't tell what kind of grass this thing was made of.

Faced with such tea, Beichen Xiao drank it all without any disgust.

To be honest, this stuff tastes like tea from the future and can't even be called tea.

The strong bitterness and light spiciness even make people feel like they are being poisoned.

The village chief looked at Beichen Xiao with some trepidation.

But he unexpectedly found that Beichen Xiao didn't even have any expression on his face.

"So, can the village chief tell me what the monster in this village is?"

"I heard that even the soldiers of the Imagawa family mysteriously disappeared when they came here?"

Hearing Beichen Xiao's words, the village chief's face turned slightly bitter.

"You may not know, sir, but in fact, ten years ago, our village was also a famous wealthy village nearby."

"But since the war began, life in the village has become increasingly difficult."

"When the war started, both sides were constantly recruiting soldiers, which caused the number of young people in the village to decrease."

"It was at that time that the monster began to appear. It was also because of that monster that our village suddenly entered hell."

Beichen Xiao didn't say anything and just listened quietly to the village chief talking about what happened.

"Haha, sir, I'm a little sorry, I said too much."

"It's okay. It's good to know what happened in the village in the past."

Beichen Xiao said calmly.

"But speaking of which, since a monster appeared, didn't you ask for help from other exorcists?"

"This……"

There was a hint of hesitation on the old man's face at this moment, as if he didn't know whether he should tell Beichen Xiao about this.

"Don't worry, now that I'm here, there's no such thing as giving up."

"I want to know these things just to prepare for what's next."

"Yes, I think too much."

A few drops of sweat flowed down the village chief's face. It seemed that he felt a little scared after being seen through by Beichen Xiao.

"In fact, we have hired an exorcist to kill the monster before."

"But that monster was too powerful. All the exorcists we hired died at its hands."

"It was precisely because of this incident that the number of young people in the village began to decrease. Until now, there is no one left in our village."

Beichen Xiao couldn't help but touch his chin at what the village chief said.

"So, what did that monster do? Why don't you leave here?"

Beichen Xiao asked doubtfully.

"What's the point of leaving? For old, weak, sick and disabled people like us, we will die wherever we go in this chaotic world."

"It's better to wait for that monster to kill us than to be killed by some bandit on the road."

The village chief said this to Beichen Xiao.

But Beichen Xiao still had a feeling that the other party was hiding something.

"So, when will the monster appear?"

Beichen Xiao continued to ask.

"Probably, it appears every night late at night."

..............................

In the evening, Beichen Xiao sat in the house arranged by the village chief.

Beichen Xiao looked at the messy house in front of him. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

After the disappearance of the young and middle-aged people, the village has basically become semi-abandoned.

"Partner, is everything okay? I feel like that old man must have something he didn't tell you."

Jilongjian expressed his concerns to Beichen Xiao at this time.

"I know."

Beichen Xiao said calmly.

"After all, if someone I just met really told me everything, I would be a little worried."

Beichen Xiao said so.

"I just need to make sure they don't mean any harm."

"Now, let's eat first."

Beichen Xiao said this and took out a pot and a few packets of instant noodles.

These things were specially prepared by Beichen Xiao when he knew that the coming was five hundred years ago.

Although with Beichen Xiao's current physical condition, it is no problem for him to not eat for a few days.

But replenishing physical strength is also a very important thing at this time.

"If we want to find those three girls, we have to take a long-term plan. But Zhuye and Setsuna have been living since this era, so we don't have to worry too much. Let's find a specialized exorcist organization first, and then find their whereabouts."

Although a person disappeared in ancient times, Beichen Xiao was very calm at this time.

What he lacks most now is relevant information about this era.

Where are Inuyasha and his wife, and who are the enemies?

Why do strange monsters appear in the space-time channel, and who is the guy who attempts to tamper with space-time as described in his mission?

Moreover, he also had to find the Steel Dragon Spear that was currently being hidden.

There is no use in rushing these things.

"Gududu~"

After the water boiled, Beichen Xiao put the instant noodles into the pot, and soon, the fragrance began to waft.
