Chapter 1561 The Mayor. (First Update! Please Subscribe!)

The mayor's house.

At the beginning of twilight, in the crack of the farmhouse's rough door, tired faces looked at Zhong Kui Jingyi and his party with obvious precautions and doubts.

Zhong Kuijing Yifang said softly, "I am a member of the Liugai Dynasty. I am passing through this place. I want to ask the mayor of Baicao Town about something."

The man glanced around furtively, and whispered: "Come in!"

Zhong Kui Jingyi and his party listened without any hesitation, and followed him directly into the courtyard. As soon as the two girls crossed the threshold, the man closed the courtyard door and fastened the latch as if afraid of being followed by something.

Immediately, he continued to whisper, "My father is in the house, so don't say anything, we'll talk about it when we come in."

"This town is not peaceful!"

Hearing this, Zhong Kui Jingyi and Qiao Ciguang looked at each other with serious expressions.

really!

Something happened in this Baicao Town!

Looking at the many monster clans that were shut outside the door, Zhong Kui Jingyi immediately sent a voice transmission: "You guys also come in, don't show your traces and scare the mortals."

The monsters were originally a little apprehensive because they were separated from the second daughter, but when they heard this, they immediately cast their magic spells, passed through the wall, and continued to follow Zhong Kui Jingyi and Qiao Ciguang silently.

Led by the mayor's son, they walked into the front main room.

In the main room, an old man with a wrinkled face and a bitter expression was sitting and smoking a hookah in the already dark room.

There was no light in the house, only smog lingered, and the smell of inferior tobacco was strong and choking, and the light could not be extinguished.

Fortunately, for monks, the darkness in front of them is not an obstacle.

They quickly glanced around.

This is a relatively spacious main house. The rammed earth has been swept clean, and the poorly made tables and chairs have been wiped clean. There are baskets, poles, hoes and other agricultural tools in the hall. The film surrounded a small area, and there were occasional chugging and cooing sounds inside... but several hens were being raised.

What the group of monks paid special attention to was that there was a shrine on the wall facing the entrance, and behind the half-drawn curtain was a squatting and roaring monster statue.

The monster was shaped like a tiger, with sharp horns on its head, five long tails, white eyebrows and beard, cold and fierce eyes.

Although it is just a statue, it exudes a coercion that makes many monster races palpitate.

This is a big monster!

Everyone looked away, looked at the old man, Zhong Kui Jingyi stepped forward, saluted, and said: "I am a small official of the imperial dynasty, and I pass by expensive places occasionally. If I want to inquire about some things, I would like to ask the mayor to enlighten me."

The mayor seemed to be in a daze, and stood up after being dazed for a while, bewildered and said: "People from the countryside can't afford to be loved by adults... Please sit down! Both of you, please sit down!"

Immediately yelled at his son to bring tea and melon seeds.

After Zhong Kui Jingyi and Qiao Ciguang were seated, the mayor asked cautiously, "May I ask you two sirs, what are your orders?"

Zhong Kui Jingyi said: "Don't worry, old man, I just want to know, is your town the closest, is there any outsider passing by?"

"Or, did anything in particular happen?"

The mayor's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Baicao Town is located in a remote place, and every household has lived here for generations... In recent years, there have been no outsiders."

"But something special..."

"One thing just happened!"

Zhong Kui Jingyi and Qiao Ciguang were refreshed immediately, and Qiao Ciguang quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

The mayor showed a sad look: "A ghost sedan chair came to the town, carried by eight evil spirits, and went to Ayong's house..."

Evil spirit?

Ah Yong's family?

Zhong Kui Jingyi, Qiao Ciguang and many monster clans all looked serious.

Although this matter sounds like it has nothing to do with the trail of Kui Yuezhi, but according to the imperial regulations, evil spirits attack mortals, and any monk who encounters them is duty-bound to do so!

Zhong Kui Jingyi immediately asked, "When did this happen?"

The mayor said, "It was almost half an hour ago."

half an hour ago?

Zhong Kui Jingyi got up quickly and asked, "Where is Ah Yong's house? How are the casualties in the town?"

The mayor sighed, and said: "The evil ghost in the sedan chair has a high level of cultivation, and the protective magic circle set up by the old man for the town can't hinder its entry and exit at all. Maybe the statue of the old man is here..."

While talking, he bowed to the shrine above, and then continued, "After killing Ah Yong's family, the raging finally stopped."

"Although Ah Yong is one of the best hunters in the town, he failed to protect himself and his wife and children. His family was killed and his death was extremely miserable. Alas...poor child..."

Hearing this, Qiao Ciguang frowned slightly, and said, "Old man, but when I first entered the town, I saw that everything in the town was normal along the way, and I didn't see any panicked people, and I didn't smell any blood. Smell. But I don’t know where the dead bodies of Ayong’s family are?”

The mayor said in a depressed mood: "The corpses were all eaten by the evil spirits."

"The evil spirit first bit off Ah Yong's throat."

"Then from head to toe, eat up bit by bit..."

When he said this, the muscles on his face kept twitching, as if recalling the situation at that time, he still has lingering fears.

Zhong Kui Jingyi's face darkened, and then asked: "That evil ghost, is he still in town?"

The mayor shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Maybe it's still at Ayong's house, maybe it's in Qingyao Mountain... It's too late for everyone to avoid the evil spirit, let alone inquire about its whereabouts."

"By the way, Ayong's house is on the way you came here. Go out from here and go back...it's that family."

Qiao Ciguang asked again: "Apart from this, have other things happened in Baicao Town recently?"

The mayor thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No more!"

Hearing this, Zhong Kui Jingyi immediately said, "I'm bothering you, old man."

"I'm going to Ayong's house now, goodbye!"

The mayor got up and saw them off, and said: "The evil spirits are fierce, please be careful, both adults!"

Zhong Kui Jingyi and Qiao Ciguang walked out of the mayor's house, followed closely by many monster clans.

Soon, the courtyard of the mayor's house became deserted again.

The old mayor sat back in his original position, smoking a hookah with a sad expression.

A moment later, he was looking at the darkening night, and was about to get up and go back to his room to rest, when the knock on the door sounded again outside the courtyard.

The mayor immediately called his son: "Youngest, go and see, who is here again?"

The youngest responded, kicking and running to open the courtyard door.

I saw a large group of black people standing outside the door. The leader was dressed in a crimson robe, with a black face and short beard. It was Jiang Fengwu!

The youngest was startled by the number of people, hesitating whether to close the door, Jiang Fengwu saw it, and immediately thought, he took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't worry about it." Worry, we are businessmen, passing by here, we want to call on the mayor for something."

Looking at the string of copper coins, the youngest hesitated for a while, took it anyway, quickly stuffed it into his bosom, and then whispered: "Everyone, come in, don't make too much noise."

"This town is not peaceful!"

Jiang Fengwu's face remained unchanged, but many of the casual cultivators behind him looked slightly dignified and opened their mouths to ask questions, but chose to remain silent when they saw Jiang Fengwu's back.

When everyone entered the main room, due to the limited space, only Jiang Fengwu and others took their seats, and everyone else sat behind the chairs with their arms down.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, the mayor was a little surprised, but he still told his son: "Youngest, pour tea."

Jiang Fengwu put the four-color gift box that he changed casually on the table, and said politely: "Old man, don't bother."

"We were just entrusted by someone to inquire about one thing."

"I don't know if there are any outsiders in Baicao Town in the past few months?"

The mayor looked even more puzzled, and said, "A quarter of an hour ago, a group of outsiders came."

"Professing to be a member of the Liugai Dynasty."

When they heard that they were from the Liugai Dynasty, many casual cultivators immediately felt affirmed.

What they are looking for this time is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Liugai Dynasty!

It's just that there seems to be something wrong with the time that came quarter of an hour ago...

Thinking so, Jiang Fengwu hurriedly asked again: "But I don't know where are those people from the Liugai Dynasty?"

The mayor sighed and said, "I don't know about that."

"It is said that he went to Ayong's house, but he may also have entered Qingyao Mountain..."

※※※

A Yong's door.

The ghost sedan chair was erratic, floating in the air.

The eight bearers carried the poles on their shoulders and remained silent.

The cold and yin energy centered on the sedan chair, rolling and escaping in all directions.

Suddenly, in the void above the ghost sedan chair, a giant pale golden hand stretched out and grabbed Ayong's house.

boom! ! !
