Chapter 1308

In Zhongyuan Village, the only service hall, the atmosphere was solemn at this time. On the main seat, Village Chief Chang's face was terrifyingly dark, and all the elders below him were to the west.

"Elder Mei, what's your explanation now?"

At this moment, Village Chief Chang dropped a small object from above. When it rolled around on the ground, everyone discovered that it was Elder Mei's personal belongings.

"I don't need to explain anything. It's not wrong that this thing is mine. The other party learned that the house existed and came to borrow it from me. Why can't I give it to him? Is it the village's rule that newcomers can't watch it? You know, he is a senior You have no right to close the things left behind, they are the common wealth of everyone." Elder Mei's expression remained unchanged, he picked up his things from underneath and put them into his arms, then he raised his head and said.

"Pa"

"You contacted outsiders and actually killed your own villagers. What crime do you deserve?" Upon hearing Elder Mei's admission, he slammed the table angrily and shouted.

"I said to the village chief, how could I be blamed for Chang Xi's death? They disappeared ten days ago, and Chang Xi died suddenly just after eating yesterday. Didn't the doctor say it was very possible? It's because you ate too much Qilin beast meat that you're like this. Why are you so lazy to me?" Elder Mei stood in the middle and refuted the other party's words.

"That's right, if you hadn't intercepted so much unicorn meat for personal gain, otherwise such a tragedy wouldn't have happened." Elder Mei's accomplices mocked from their position.

Before this, the village chief told everyone that the Qilin meat had been separated, and there was not a trace. Chang Xi found so many pieces of meat in his home, and there were many bones nearby, which were obviously hidden for his grandson. Yes, everyone is dissatisfied with this.

Besides, although those people on the opposite side were abducted with their cute pets, they had been missing for many days. Moreover, they blocked the city gate immediately and turned the village upside down. There was no one else at all. trace.

Moreover, no one in the village has seen them, so they can basically confirm the doctor's words, which is that they ended up like this because they ate too much Qilin beast meat.

Seeing the attitude of everyone, the village chief was even more angry. However, he knew that he was very unjust in suppressing the public's anger. But looking at Elder Mei's look, he felt even more indignant.

Because when Chang Xi died, he clearly saw the joy in Elder Mei's eyes and the smile on his lips, although they were quickly covered up. In addition, Elder Mei had been opposing Chang Xi's plan for many days in a row. He even kept secretly obstructing the other party, so Village Chief Chang always suspected that it was him.

However, there was no evidence, but he finally found this thing in the senior's stone house. Unexpectedly, the other party refused to admit it, and he had no choice.

However, Chang Xi's death has completely caused the village chief to lose most of his sanity. It is not just his beloved grandson, but his only remaining descendant. You must know that your son has already passed away unfortunately, and you must find the murderer and compensate him. His life, and Elder Mei, who was against him, was the biggest suspect.

"Okay, even if the village does not stipulate this, but how do you explain the legacy left by those predecessors to us? It is the only remaining immortal magic. Now, except for some common sense, everything is gone. We can't turn a blind eye." Village Chief Chang suddenly stood up and said coldly.

"I announce that I will resign from the position of Elder Mei now."

But before Elder Mei could speak, his companion spoke up and retorted as soon as he finished speaking in the village.

"Village Chief, I don't agree with this. Although Elder Mei is at fault for the disappearance of his senior's things, he is not lazy at all. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? If Elder Mei is forced to leave for such a trivial matter, I I feel that you have fallen into a state of madness because of the death of your grandson, and you can't tell the truth from the truth. You know, whose descendants have never been killed in battle." One person stood up and defended Elder Mei, and diverted everyone's attention. force.

When everyone heard this, they started talking one after another. Even those who came to the village chief's side felt that the village chief had gone too far and was too aggressive.

Since the moment Chang Xi died, Village Chief Chang seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, and everyone was more or less attacked by him.

"Your objections are ineffective. You must know that I am the village chief." Village Chief Chang saw that the people around him were opposing him, and his mind became hot and he shouted suddenly.

A dozen people who had been prepared walked out of the small hall behind with spears in hand, looking at them eagerly.

At this moment, the hall fell silent for an instant, but then Elder Mei's roar appeared in the air.

"Village Chief Chang, how dare you do this? Aren't you afraid of everyone's condemnation?"

"Condemn? I'm not afraid at all. Xi'er said it right. As long as there is force, all opposition will be ineffective. I should have done this long ago, so that Xi'er would not die." Village Chief Chang's eyes were red. Seeing the fearful expressions of everyone below, I felt a sudden surge of infinite joy in my heart. This was the feeling of supreme power.

Although I said I was the village chief in the past, everyone discussed and made decisions together on everything. There was no time when I was so majestic. It felt so good.

Village Chief Chang decided that from now on, the elders could only serve as his own mouthpieces, and no power would be delegated to them.

Unfortunately, while his thoughts were still swirling in his mind, Elder Mei suddenly smashed one of his belongings, making a huge noise and startling everyone.

Then there was a sound of many chaotic footsteps outside, and more than a dozen people rushed in from outside, holding weapons in their hands. The leader was Captain Qian.

"I have heard that you have this idea for a long time. Fortunately, I have been prepared. Otherwise, it would not be a surprise if we were killed by you." Elder Mei said to the village chief while hiding in the crowd.

"Bullshit!" Village Chief Chang immediately retorted, but he also hid behind, not giving the other side any chance.

The two sides looked at each other, their weapons were already clenched, and there was a smell of gunpowder in the air, which could cause accidental discharge at any time.

Several neutral elders understood that now the two sides were fighting for power, and everything before was just an excuse.

"Village Chief Chang, I advise you to surrender, and I will let you spend your old age in peace. If Chang Xi had not died unexpectedly, many young men in our village would have been killed by you." Elder Mei's voice rose from the crowd.

He was telling the truth. In fact, after his repeated persuasion and deduction, most people disliked Chang Xi's plan, and Captain Qian even brought people to support him.

His son had escaped death once, and he couldn't die in this hopeless plan.

What he thought was also the idea of ​​most people, but due to the power, they didn't dare to object.

"Huh, you're dreaming. If you have the ability, come and kill me." The disdainful words of Village Chief Chang came from above.

"You" When Elder Mei was about to say something, a voice interrupted him.

"Am I not here in the right time?"

At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly came out from outside. Everyone looked back and saw that it was the two people who had disappeared before and the cute pets in the village.

He was dragging four large bags in his hands, which were as long as a person. From the outside, there were still some undried bloodstains. I don't know what was in them, but they looked very full.

"What are you doing here? Did you secretly kill Xi'er?" Village Chief Chang's voice sounded from above, with a kind of anger that was about to be suppressed.

"Why should I kill him? Does he deserve it?" Gu Zheng said disdainfully, and threw everything in his hand on the ground. The ropes tied to the two bags fell off, and a corner of a familiar creature leaked out.

"What is this?" Elder Mei was also shocked when he saw Gu Zheng, wondering why he came back after leaving.

"You'll know when you open it." Gu Zheng said indifferently.

Soon, a person next to him took action at the signal of Elder Mei, and first opened the first two loosened bags. Two hideous beast heads appeared in front of everyone. Although they had been dead for many days, the mighty and huge bodies slipped out of them, which still made everyone tremble with fear.

Even the villager who opened the bag was startled, his hands trembled and he had no strength at all, and he couldn't open the next bag.

"I'll do it!" Captain Qian pulled the man forward, and quickly untied the third bag himself, which made everyone exclaim.

"Could this be?" someone said subconsciously, and the others also had this thought in their minds. They all held their breath and watched the former captain prepare to untie the last bag.

Captain Qian's breathing became rapid at this time. When he untied the straps on it, his hands trembled and were a little unsteady, and he couldn't be sure.

"Shuang'er, why did you tie the bag so tightly? I didn't see that it was so hard, and you didn't help." Gu Zheng said deliberately when he saw this scene.

"Oh, young master, I was wrong." Shuang'er pouted and said aggrievedly, but she was still ready to move forward. It was obviously you who did it, and you had to blame me.

"No, I can do it." Captain Qian stretched out his hand to stop Shuang'er, and then took a deep breath, took out the bone knife at his waist, and a cold light flashed in the air, and the things in his pocket instantly slipped out and appeared in front of everyone.

"Green Beast!"

"It's it."

"Didn't you see that he was carrying four bags by himself before, and he looked very relaxed?"

Everyone was shocked, and they kept whispering and exclaiming.

"Since you saved my companions, don't take risks. I'll bring you back what you want to see if your legend is true, so as to avoid the death and injury of innocent villagers." Gu Zheng still spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Captain Qian, take these four guys to the back and treat Elder Chang to a meal to see if we are right." Elder Mei sneered.

This rumor is obviously to appease the people here. If possible, as he said before, the ancestors had already practiced magic. At that time, they were much stronger than they are now.

Soon most of them carried these monsters out of here, and Village Chief Chang also put down his weapons.

They are self-aware. Those who can kill these monsters cannot defeat them even if they come with several times more people.

Everyone fell silent and waited for the result.

Those elders soon sat on the chairs next to them again. After all, they were a little older and could not stand for a long time.

But they didn't have to wait too long. After just one hour, four steaming bowls were served. The aroma of the large pieces of meat filled the small living room, making everyone drool unconsciously.

The four bowls were placed in the middle, on a stone table that was temporarily moved from the side. Elder Mei and several other elders, and even Captain Qian, were all gathered here.

"Village Chief Chang, come down and try it to see if you can learn magic." Elder Mei sneered there.

"Humph, I won't eat it. Maybe it only works for people who can master the power of darkness." Village Chief Chang still said unwillingly, and just refused to come out.

"Don't worry, I have also sent those treasures over. You will know the result in a while." Elder Mei knew that the other party would say this, and had already made arrangements.

"But you must not eat too much, so as not to be stuffed to death. The energy contained in this monster is beyond your imagination." Seeing that the other party was about to speak, Gu Zheng said lightly.

It was obvious that Gu Zheng was targeting Village Chief Chang and slandering himself.

Someone had just told him what happened these days.

It turned out that Gu Zheng and his friends' departure did not attract anyone's attention. In addition to Chang Xi and Elder Mei, even Han Xiu had been prepared. After seeing the empty house, he went back.

However, Chang Xi thought that Gu Zheng was afraid of him and sneaked out, so he decided to hunt other monsters and forcibly select some elite strong men from the young and strong.

Although most of them were unwilling, they dared not speak out because of the support of the village chief. They were under Chang Xi's high-intensity training every day, and some of them even suffered serious injuries.

Originally, they planned to take action in half a month. At that time, Chang Xi's arm would be almost healed and he could set off completely, because he was stimulated by Gu Zheng and was a little impulsive.

Originally, he had some plans in his mind, but he would not implement them so quickly. He wanted to wait a few years before proposing this matter.

But yesterday, Chang Xi, who had just finished his meal, started training in an open space in front as usual, but suddenly vomited blood. Before everyone understood what happened, he lay on the ground and lost his breath.

Several doctors in the village checked and found no specific cause. There was no poisoning or trauma. In the end, they all agreed that the death was caused by excessive blood and qi. In the end, a lot of Qilin meat was found in his home, which proved their judgment.

This made Village Chief Chang so crazy. His most beloved grandson died just like that, but he didn't believe the doctor's statement and always suspected that someone had killed Chang Xi.

Although everyone understood his feelings, they couldn't just throw water on them. Now they threatened them with force, and they immediately lost everyone's trust.

So after hearing what Gu Zheng said, one of the people in front of him smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still want to live a little bit, just taste it."

Ignoring the dark face of Village Chief Chang, he ate a piece of meat in turn without hesitation, and each drank a sip of soup.

While waiting for them to finish eating, others also came forward to experience the deliciousness of other concentrated monsters. They were proud enough to eat these.

"What do you feel?" Gu Zheng asked curiously. After no one ate, they closed their eyes and showed a look of enjoyment on their faces.

"How should I put it? There is a warm current constantly wandering in the body, but it is much worse than the effect of the Qilin beast. Maybe it's because I ate too little. As for what I can feel, it seems that there is nothing different." Elder Mei smacked his lips and said.

Others also said their feelings. In general, it was similar to his, and it was not as weird as the legend, which also disappointed them a lot.

And the village chief Chang above has stood up, with a gloomy face and no one knows what he is thinking.

The things on the table were quickly divided up by you and me.

At this time, Elder Mei snorted and said to the village chief Chang above, "What else do you have to say now? Don't deny that you didn't eat it yourself. There are more later."

And the village chief Chang didn't answer him at all, but just looked straight outside, as if waiting for something.

Elder Mei certainly knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say much to him. He continued to chat with the elders next to him. Everyone was waiting for the feedback from the people over there.

After waiting for half an hour, two figures slowly walked in from outside.

A pure black robe, although it looked a little worn, was still one of the best clothes here. There was also a black pocket on the head. The black veil covered their faces, but it was vaguely visible that they were a man and a woman.

The two walked straight to the middle of the hall, nodded slightly to the village chief and the elders at the same time, and said in unison, "Leng Rong, Leng Yue greeted the village chief and the elders."

From the sound, it can be seen that the two people are not very old.

"Leng Rong, Leng Yue, have you eaten the food sent over just now?" Elder Mei saw that Village Chief Chang was still a little distracted, so he simply spoke for him.

"Yes, that thing is extremely delicious. Although it is not as good as the Qilin beast alone, it still contains great energy. The four different kinds of it combined are enough to surpass the effect of the Qilin beast, which is of great benefit to us." Leng Rong's eyes flashed with a trace of nostalgia, but he still said it neither servilely nor arrogantly.

With their status, as long as they grow older, they will naturally be promoted to village elders. Among them, Village Chief Chang and Elder Mei used to have this status, but now their strength has declined greatly and they almost never take action again.

Hearing this, Village Chief Chang's eyes lit up slightly.

"Besides that, do you have any other feelings, for example, have you made any progress in the immortal arts you comprehended?" Elder Mei's voice sounded again.

"Reporting to the elder, there is no progress. This thing only promotes the strengthening of the body and the dark power. Apart from that, it has no other effect." This time it was Leng Yue who answered.

"Maybe it will take some time to see the effect." A faint voice sounded in the air. Everyone looked up and saw that it was the voice of the unyielding village chief Chang, but now his face was gray and a little scary.

"I declare that because of some mental problems, I will temporarily replace the position of village chief. Does anyone object?" Elder Mei looked around and said.
