Chapter 910: Catching Monsters in the Fields

Facing northwest, Zhu Minglang found the place where the strange light disappeared.

This is a farming and mulberry city. You can see the beautiful terraced fields, like green mirror lakes, stacked in a patchwork among the small hills.

I think coming here is the main place to deliver food to Xuan Ge Shendu.

Zhu Minglang walked among the field ridges and saw many people working hard. Their figures were scattered in the field ponds. Occasionally, he could see an old man carrying fertilizer, walking on the field road, humming a song while walking.

A strong smell came.

Zhu Minglang glanced at the fat old man approaching him.

That ugly voice made Zhu Minglang really admire the old man's self-confidence as if he were no one else.

"Brother, you sang well." Zhu Minglang said against his will.

"That's right, I've been working on it for more than ten years. My little brother is a man of the gods. Are you here for inspection?" asked the old man with a bad voice.

After more than ten years of practice, singing like this, if it wasn't for his extremely simple peasant aura, Zhu Minglang would be able to arrest him as a mysterious ancient demon possessed, and howling ghosts and wolves... Oh, maybe he could scare the mysterious ancient demon away.

"To tell you the truth, I'm actually here to catch demons." Zhu Minglang said.

Naturally, the old man saw that Zhu Minglang was dressed differently, so he asked this question. He put down the manure he was carrying, and approached cautiously and asked, "Is there still a demon in this field?"

"Well, I watched it disappear into the fields and hills. It might turn into a human, or it might hide in the shady paddy fields. Maybe it was very hungry. I wanted to wait until dark to see which households didn't wake up early." I dragged him away and ate him." Zhu Minglang said.

"That's terrible, I'll tell you guys quickly." The old man believed what Zhu Minglang said.

The old man immediately ran to the field and told everyone one by one.

But farmers are not all convinced.

The main reason is that Xuange God has been quiet for too long. Although they are in a remote suburban city, they have never encountered any monsters.

A man of unknown origin said that there was a demon, maybe he was just deceiving them, trying to defraud them of the money they had worked so hard for a season of farming.

There are quite a few charlatans of this kind.

Alarmist and some people in small towns and villages say there are demons, and then deliberately use the weather and visions to explain things, but in fact there is nothing, just to cheat money, they are not the kind of rural idiots, but Xuan Ge Farmers in Shendu are well-informed, so they are not so easy to deceive!

...

"What should I do? They don't believe it." The old man was very enthusiastic.

"I can only sit and watch, let's talk about it at night." Zhu Minglang said to the old man.

"Let me go with you, I am familiar with this place." The old man said.

"The goblin may turn into a human."

"I know all the children and daughter-in-laws in this area..." The old man seemed to feel that this sentence was a bit inappropriate, and he smiled naively, "I mean, there is no one I don't know, even if the monster becomes It is impossible to imitate the appearance of a person exactly the same, if there is something weird, I will tell you immediately!"

"Okay, it's been a long time since I've seen an enthusiastic citizen like you," Zhu Minglang said.

"The reason why we all know each other is why I'm worried about what's going on with them. How can you not be wary of things like goblins!"

...

In the evening, many farmers are still working.

Zhu Minglang was a little puzzled. The overall standard of living in Xuange Shendu was very high. The farmers worked hard, but it wasn't so hard that they had to farm until so late.

Although God Xuan Ge is blessed by divine light, there are still dark corners that cannot be completely dispelled by the divine light. It will be night soon, and there are still so many people staying in this field, at least go back to the city.

"It's raining abundantly, and they want to reclaim more land and grow some rice. After half a month of hard work, they can harvest nearly half a year's worth of money, so they have been working lately lately," said the old man.

Working with lanterns, and still wearing capes, drenched in the rain, it seems that as long as this rainy season is done well, you can make a fortune completely.

But Zhu Minglang had a headache.

This really gave the monsters an opportunity to take advantage of.

Alas, but it is human nature for them to want to earn more money. If the existence of Xuan Gu Yao actually wants to harm people, even a small city wall may not be able to prevent it.

...

Zhu Minglang kept staring at the vicinity, but never saw the strange light reappear.

Zhu Minglang suspected that the Xuangu monster had probably turned into a human.

He used that person's skin to hide his evil spirit.

So Zhu Minglang asked the old man to go chat one by one, find out a few obvious words and deeds that were different from usual, and then investigate them one by one.

At night, the farmers finally went back to their homes.

Zhu Minglang and the old man went to the first suspect's house.

It was a peasant woman who made tea for everyone in the fields on weekdays. Everyone would give tea money every day, and the tea-making farmers made a living from this.

"Sister-in-law Li, how are the tea sales going today?" The old man asked familiarly when he arrived at the yard.

"It's not enough to sell. I didn't prepare so much clean water, so I mixed some tea with rainwater and brewed it for a few... Oh, why didn't you tell me when someone came over!" Aunt Li's eyes were not good, and this He saw Zhu Minglang behind the old man.

Zhu Minglang was also speechless.

What a poisonous woman, she is not afraid of drinking tea with Qingyu rainwater!

"Her behavior..."

"She's done this before, it's Mrs. Li herself." The old man said with a dry smile.

"..." Zhu Minglang didn't bother to ask anymore.

The goblins turned into human forms, some of them transformed themselves into an appearance, and some of them occupied their bodies and leaned over them.

The former is actually a very small number, because there are not many who can fully transform into human beings.

Most of the latter, ghosts, possessed, and occupied people will all show symptoms that are different from ordinary people. After all, goblins cannot completely imitate people's words and deeds. No matter how careful they are, they will show flaws in the process of talking with people .

This tea-cooking farmer's woman is just a bit dark-hearted, not because she was bent over by a demon.

Just about to leave, Zhu Minglang suddenly remembered something.

He turned around and asked the tea maker woman, "Auntie, is the tea you make often not enough to sell?"

"Isn't it the rainy season recently? Everyone works late, so the quantity is not easy to calculate, but today I sold more than half of the pots." The tea-making woman said.

The woman who made tea set up a tea shed in the field, and the farmers in the nearby fields would come to her to drink a bowl and rest when they were tired and thirsty.

"Approximately how many people are there?" Zhu Minglang asked.

"Let's say thirty people," said the tea-cooking peasant woman.

"Who is that, who drank too much today?" Zhu Minglang asked.

Everyone drinks a fixed amount of water every day, and no matter how thirsty or hard they work, it is impossible to exceed an approximate range.

From the amount of tea sold today by the tea-cooking peasant women, certain problems can be indicated.

Someone is so thirsty!

Generally, people who have been bent over and their bodies have been invaded, they either don't eat anything, or they will have a terrible phenomenon of overeating.

"As for his younger brother, Ge Cheng, he is like a big buffalo, and he comes to drink several big bowls every half an hour..." the peasant woman pointed to the old man Ge.

When Old Man Ge heard this, his expression changed.

He hurriedly grabbed Zhu Minglang's hand, and begged: "Little brother, you have to save my younger brother, he is an honest man, he never does anything harmful, why did the goblin find him! "

"Let's go take a look at his house," Zhu Minglang said.

...

Old man Ge and his younger brother Ge Cheng separated a long time ago, and the relationship is a bit rigid.

When Zhu Minglang and the old man Ge arrived at Ge Cheng's house, they found that Ge Cheng was a nearly forty-year-old bachelor with a poor family, but he had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry.

There is no yard, only a grass hut.

There were mud-stained farm tools randomly placed in the house, and after the bachelor finished working in the farmland, he didn't seem to be bothered to change his clothes, so he went to the cave in a dirty and dirty way.

Zhu Minglang asked old man Ge to wait outside the door, and went in to see by himself.

Pushing open the door and entering, Zhu Minglang saw Ge Cheng lying there with his whole body wet, but his body was emitting white steam as if he had been boiled.

This is a typical bewitched for an ordinary farmer.

Moreover, there is a big water tank next to him.

The water in the water tank was all drunk.

The wine in the jar was also empty.

Ge Cheng didn't know how much water he drank, but it was never enough. He was extremely wet, but he looked dehydrated.

However, Qingyu rainwater seems to be unable to quench thirst, otherwise Ge Cheng would open his mouth in the rain and drink greedily.

Zhu Minglang approached Ge Cheng.

It was found that Ge Cheng was just bewitched by an evil spirit, and there was no sign of being bent over by the Xuangu monster.

Zhu Minglang tried to use his divine radiance to dispel Ge Cheng's evil spirit, but found that his radiance as the God of Fuchen was unable to expel the evil curse.

"This kind of curse can only be solved by finding the deity." Mr. Jinli floated out and said to Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang nodded. Even though the other party was in a bad condition, Zhu Minglang had to ask Ge Cheng what he did today, what he came into contact with, and whether he saw anything weird.

"Water, I want to drink water, give me water!" Ge Cheng was in a high fever-like daze.

"I'm here to help you. You don't want to be in such pain. Tell me who you met today and what it did to you." Zhu Minglang continued to question.

"My brother... my brother said that I was haunted by moldy ghosts and I couldn't find a wife because of this. He heard from an expert that Qingyu can get rid of darkness and mold, and let me drink a large bowl of rainwater... In this way, I will I can find a wife." Ge Cheng spat out these words in a daze.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Minglang immediately turned around to look at Old Man Ge who was dodging outside the door.

As a result, Zhu Minglang saw Old Man Ge's strange smile at the crack of the door, and then slowly closed the door with both hands.

The moment the door was closed, the hut suddenly had an evil spirit, and Zhu Minglang felt his world spinning for a while. There was a powerful suppressive force that locked him in place, unable to move, and it was even more difficult to display any divine power, including the spiritual realm. The isolation made it impossible for Zhu Minglang to summon any dragons.
