Chapter 191 Actually, you are all villagers, aren't you?(1/3)
Chapter 191 Actually, you are all villagers, aren’t you?
The arrival of Zhou Xu and others did not attract the attention of the villagers, and they seemed to blend in naturally.
Be part of the crowd.
The child's name is Shitou, his mother's name is Yang Xia, and the middle-aged man in charge is the village chief.
This is Yangjia Village, and the people in the village have been at the foot of the mountain for generations.
Monsters are often born in the village, causing disasters.
This time, the stone is the monster in the village.
For a moment, Tianyun Daozong and others clearly understood the choices they needed to face.
The stone helped others, and finally revealed its strange power and became the monster in the village.
Yang Xia does not believe that her child will bring disaster to the village in the future, and the village chief and others cannot allow the monster to grow and must strangle him in the cradle.
"That's nice to say, can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?" The village chief looked at Yang Xia angrily.
For the sake of the children behind her, Yang Xia never gave in:
"The child has not done anything wrong yet, so why should we use the future to judge his crime?"
"That's because when he commits a crime, the village has no ability to stop it. You may not know it, but I remember it.
Thirty-five years ago, because a monster was not discovered, the village of more than 400 households now has more than 100 households.
Can you bear such a responsibility?" the village chief asked angrily.
Only by experiencing the tragedy of that year can we understand the horror of monsters and the importance of killing them.
"But I heard that the monster back then was naughty and troublesome since he was a child, irritable and fond of fighting. But Shitou is different. He is well-behaved and sensible. You all praised him, have you forgotten?" Yang Xia cried and shouted.
"How does he look like a monster?"
The village chief stared at Yang Xia, took a deep breath, and finally turned to look at Zhou Xu and others who were coming over. The leader of the eleven people was Jing Wen, who also became the subject of questioning.
"Are a few of them scholars from the city?" the village chief asked politely.
"It's true that he's just a passerby." Jing Wen replied politely.
All eleven people understood that the answer to the question would appear from them, and their thoughts raced for a while, searching for the answer.
"We are rural farmers, ignorant and have little knowledge. A few scholars must have extraordinary knowledge. I wonder if they can make a decision for us." After a few polite words, the village chief looked at Shitou and said:
"Help us determine whether he will bring us disaster."
After the words fell, everyone around looked at the well and asked the eleven people, hoping to solve the problem for them.
Jing Wen responded politely, looked at Shitou and said, "Can we check it?"
Everyone got out of the way, and Yang Xia could only let these people check the stone. She pushed her son out and comforted:
"Don't be afraid of stones."
Shitou is a little boy with big eyes, about four or five years old. He looks scared when he sees outsiders approaching.
Zhou Xu and Qiu Qian also came to check. Everyone has their own way of investigating, and so does Qiu Qian.
Zhou Xu returned to his original nature and explored with his eyes.
In fact, he doesn't know any detection skills.
After three months of cultivation, I only paid wages to the demon species, and I rarely learned some magic techniques.
Compulsory education lasts for nine years, let alone the world of cultivation. If you can roughly understand ancient Chinese in just three months, you are considered a fast learner.
After a while, everyone took back their hands and started discussing.
"I didn't find anything, what about you?" Jing asked the others.
"Me neither." A fairy with a single ponytail replied.
"Me neither." The young man with a beard shook his head.
The others, including Zhou Xu and Qiu Qian, all shook their heads without noticing anything.
In their investigation, the stone was just an ordinary person, and there was no sign that it was a monster.
"There is nothing wrong with his body." Jing Wen said to the village chief.
"It's not a monster, right?" Yang Xia hugged the stone excitedly.
Although the village chief and others were unwilling to give in, they did not say more about the monster. They just looked at the well and asked:
"Then what should we do now?"
Jing Wen turned to look at his ten fellow disciples and said:
"This is a choice, what do you think?"
"There is nothing wrong with this child, and he has not done anything so far. We are not sure that he is a monster. It is better to let them get along well, but he needs more attention." A fairy said.
"What do other people think?" Jing Wen looked at the others.
No one came up with another answer.
Jing Wen nodded and said to the village chief:
"After the examination, there is indeed no problem. According to what you said, he did not show any malice. Children aged five or six are in need of guidance. Killing them at will is indeed disrespectful to life."
After the village chief and others nodded, he looked at Yang Xia and continued:
"Your child does have some suspicions. All you need to do is to watch over him and teach him well. If there are any unexpected problems, you need to inform him immediately."
"Okay, I will." Yang Xia nodded happily.
This selection is complete.
After all the villagers returned, a staircase stretched into the air, waiting for them to go up.
"That's it?" Zhou Xu was a little surprised.
"Don't worry, it's only the first floor, the second floor should be different." Fairy Shengjin replied from the side.
"Is this the right choice?" Qiu Qian couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but normal people should choose this." Fairy Shengjin shook her head.
"Go up and take a look first," Jing Wen said with a smile.
Zhou Xu walked at the back. He looked at his senior brother Jing Wen. He looked quite calm and had a gentle personality.
After a while, they arrived at the second floor.
Still walking on the grass, there is a stream beside it, a big mountain in the distance, and a small village at the foot of the mountain.
"This is?" The fairy tied with a single twist said in surprise:
"Isn't it the village on the first level?"
Everyone was also surprised, but when they looked at the village, they found that it had long been turned into ruins, and the surrounding woods were extremely lush and overgrown with weeds.
"Go over and take a look." Jing Wen walked away.
With the help of Sheng Jin, Zhou Xu and Qiu Qian also arrived at the entrance of the village as quickly as possible.
The village that was once popular has long been dead, with houses collapsed and fields abandoned.
It seems like no one has been here for a long time.
When they walked in, they saw dried blood staining the wall red, and when they entered again, some bones appeared on the street.
Everyone raised their eyebrows, the villagers were killed, or rather massacred.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar came from the village, and a figure came quickly.
He was a giant nearly three meters tall, with disheveled hair and muscular muscles. The ground shook wherever he passed.
boom!
He came face to face with Jing Wen and punched him.
The huge power set off the fist wind.
Click!
There was a sound of bones breaking, and the powerful fist twisted and shattered.
Jing Wen could only block the opponent's attack with the palm of his hand, and even counterattacked the power.
Roar!
The pain made the giant even more angry, and he continued to punch Jing Wen, but this time he failed.
Jing Wen then slapped the giant to the ground with a bang, making it lose its fighting power.
"Did you kill the people in the village?" Jing Wen raised the giant's head from the soil and asked.
Roar!
To be continued...
