Nightmare Attack

"Evil cultivator?" Jiang Cheng looked stern. He immediately thought of the ghost hidden in the mist, "What is the evil cultivator you are talking about?"

But the leading one-eyed man interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Don't ask any more questions. I'll take you into the village first. Although it's not time yet, who can say for certain about those things.

"Ah Sheng, go and inform the people in the village. These are real people, so don't worry."

The man named A Sheng responded dully, then glanced at Jiang Cheng and the others, turned around and ran towards the bushes alone, and soon disappeared.

"Let's go too."

The one-eyed man straddled the harpoon, turned and walked towards the trees.

"Wait a minute." The fat man couldn't help but speak. He turned his head and looked at the village near Chichi, and then looked at the dim trees. "What do you mean, aren't we going back to the village?"

The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized and explained: "The road in the woods is the road leading to the village. You cannot go on the road in front of you, and it is impassable."

"Why?"

This time the man didn't answer, but just urged them to hurry up. Jiang Cheng seemed to understand something, pinched the fat man's shoulder and winked at him, and the fat man obeyed and shut up.

They walked through the woods. The seemingly remote road was not difficult to walk, because the grass on the ground had been trampled down. It was obvious that people walked on this road often.

After twists and turns, everyone walked out along a stone wall, and a village came into view, which felt like seeing the moon through the clouds.

What makes everyone even more reassured is that the village is already lit up with fire, and it seems that the previous person has passed the news back.

The one-eyed man at the head took them into the village and walked quickly towards a courtyard, "I'll find a place for you to stay first. It's almost night. Remember not to open the door to strangers at night. People in our village don't open the door to strangers." I would go out at night, let alone call the door.”

After saying that, the one-eyed man stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was a banging sound on the door, "Sister Xiuling, sister Xiuling!"

After a while, the door opened a crack. After the woman saw who was coming outside, she opened the door a little wider and said, "Brother Fuqing, Brother Asheng was here just now. We all know what happened. Grandpa and I are the only ones at home." Yes, it’s okay to stay with a few people.”

The woman is young, about 16 or 7 years old, with healthy wheat-colored skin and a pretty face that is mature beyond her years.

The man called Brother Fu Qing didn't write ink, and left after a few brief explanations. The woman let Jiang Cheng and others in, then looked outside for a few times, then immediately closed the door, and then inserted a thick wooden stick into the door. superior.

At this time, Jiang Cheng and others saw clearly that it was said to be a courtyard, but in fact there were only a few broken houses inside, and only one of them had light coming from inside.

After closing the courtyard door, the woman seemed to be relieved, and then led them to the other two rooms, "The room is a bit small, so you can live separately. Grandpa and I are the only ones here. You can stay here without being restrained. And , my name is Xiuling.”

After saying that, the woman was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Cheng, "Sister Xiuling, we entered your village by mistake because we were lost. I feel sorry for disturbing you. We don't know the name of your village yet."

"Martial Arts Village." The woman replied without thinking.

Hearing this, everyone was unconsciously stunned for a moment, and then inevitably felt a little disappointed. Fatty even had his disappointment written on his face. He didn't expect that after struggling for so long, he actually came to the wrong place.

What they are looking for is Daotou Village, not a martial arts village.

Jiang Cheng's expression remained as usual, "Sister Xiuling, I don't know much about the customs of your village. I just want to ask, does your village have other names?"

The woman looked at him doubtfully and shook her head, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Have you heard of Daotou Village?" Shao Tong got straight to the point.

The confusion in the woman's eyes deepened, "No, is this village also nearby? Why have I never heard of it?"

Seeing that this girl was relatively innocent, Jiang Cheng was relieved. At first, he was worried that the words Daotou Village would trigger a taboo.

"Sister Xiuling, Fuqing and the others seemed to be in a panic when they came here just now. They seemed to regard us as enemies when they met us. Do you know why?"

The woman who was about to leave after hearing this frowned, "Why, they didn't even tell you this?"

"No, maybe we didn't hear clearly. After all, we were always on the road." Jiang Cheng said a few words to stop him.

The woman stamped her foot fiercely and said angrily: "Brother Fuqing and Brother Asheng are stupid idiots. Why didn't they tell you such an important thing? If something happens, I will never forgive them in this life." ”

That's not what Jiang Cheng and the others wanted to hear. They all looked at the woman, waiting to get some words from her.

Li Bai added fuel to the fire at just the right moment, vaguely mentioning the word evil cultivator.

But the next second, the woman's expression suddenly changed. She stepped forward and covered Li Bai's mouth. The fear on her face could not be faked, "Don't talk nonsense, it's almost night, be careful of those things."

As she spoke, the woman took them to a house. The facilities in the house were relatively old, but at least the doors and windows were there, making it a shelter from wind and rain. There was also a stove built with mud and stones, which could be used to light a fire for warmth.

The woman stabilized herself for a few seconds, then looked at Li Bai again, "You were lost in a fog and then came to our martial arts village, right?"

"That's right." Jiang Cheng and others nodded.

"Then did you encounter anything bad in the process?" The woman's eyes became strange, even a little more fearful, "Did you find anything in the fog?"

"There are some very strange things. The reason why we lost the horse is because the horse was frightened and the horse was afraid of those things." Jiang Cheng simply said more straightforwardly.

The woman took a deep breath and said, "Those ghosts are evil cultivators."

"Why is it called this name?" Yao and Shunyu asked: "And what are those evil cultivators?"

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that those evil cultivators were human beings when they were alive, and they were not ordinary people. They were Taoist priests who had the Tao in their bodies. However, because of their unstable Taoist hearts, they eventually became obsessed and became the kind of people who do not It’s a matter of people and not ghosts.”

"That fog was caused by evil cultivators. They lurk in the fog, and they also sneak into the village at night. Many people have been harmed by their vicious hands. That scene."

At this point, the woman suddenly couldn't speak any more and bit her lips, seemingly trapped in horrific memories.
