30. The captive village(1/2)
Fortunately, what fell from above was not an attack full of murderous intent, but Orion Lin Shanbai.
His expression was slightly pale, and his face looked much haggard.
Seeing An Le waking up, Lin Shanbai managed to squeeze out a smile.
"you're awake."
"This time... you really gave me a big 'surprise'."
"Uncle Lin, it's me who has caused trouble for you this time. Here's what happened..."
He explained the whole story to Lin Shanbai.
The deduction was concealed.
It just means that Bai Shanghai wanted to kill him, but he killed him in the end.
"Actually so domineering?"
Lin Shanbai sighed: "I still think of them too well."
He took a deep look at Anle and did not mention how Anle killed Bai Shanghai.
"This tunnel was dug by me for escape."
"After I hid you and him here, Tang Lan and the others came quickly."
"I lied that after I woke up, I saw a white-haired monster fighting with Bai Shanghai, and finally took you and him away."
Anle's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Shanbai said it lightly.
But he could fully imagine what kind of pressure Lin Bo was under when facing the angry cultivators.
Moreover, this seemed to be the first time that Lin Shanbai took the initiative to mention the existence of monsters to him.
Anle asked carefully: "What is the monster?"
This time, Lin Shanbai no longer showed an extreme reaction, but spoke as if he was well prepared.
"Didn't you ask me before about how the villagers were possessed by evil spirits?"
"I didn't plan to tell you originally, but now the situation has changed, and... your strength has grown faster than I expected."
Lin Shanbai's eyes were filled with envy.
In less than two months, Lin Shanbai could be said to have watched Anle grow from a somewhat frail young man to now, with a strong body, full of vitality and blood, and could even kill an orthodox immortal cultivator.
He entered the country so quickly that he couldn't find any reasonable explanation except for the peerless genius.
How could he not be envious?
Because of this, Lin Shanbai decided not to hide it anymore, and he said slowly.
"Actually, there are no evil spirits that can make people possessed."
"Everything is just a lie spun by the witch doctor and the village chief."
As soon as these words came out, Anle's color suddenly changed, and he subconsciously turned his head and looked to his side.
A touch of bright red skirt remains.
As if aware of his gaze, Xiao Xiaohong was restless, and the chill around her body became more intense.
He was about to attack him before his eyes.
Fortunately, Anle's nerves have been tempered and his facial expression has not changed at all.
He continued to turn his head and looked at Bai Shanghai's head, then moved it back as if nothing had happened.
This prevented a tragedy from happening.
The woman in red froze on the spot.
Her remaining instincts were unable to judge the current situation, and her pretty face was filled with confusion.
After a while, it returned to its original harmless posture.
"Hey, why is it a little cold?"
Lin Shanbai muttered to himself, turned around and looked twice, but found nothing unusual, so he continued.
"The villagers' poisoning was nothing more than the witch doctor poisoning the selected people with hallucinogenic herbs. When the patients were sent to him for treatment, he would increase the dose again."
"So, almost everyone who is possessed by the evil spirit cannot be saved."
"Of course, there are reasons why they have to do this."
Anle guessed the answer: "Because... the monster?"
"Exactly."
Captivity!
After hearing these words, Anle immediately thought of this word.
The villagers of Chenjia Village are like pigs and sheep kept in captivity by monsters.
When mature, they will be slaughtered.
No wonder the victims are all young and middle-aged men!
No wonder the witch doctor reacted that way before he died!
But is the purpose of the monsters keeping villagers in captivity just for food?
Anle expressed doubts about this.
At this time, he finally figured out why the monster was dissatisfied with the two "sacrifice" Chen Ergou and Chen Xiaosi.
They were simply not the targets that should have been chosen.
I just bumped into Xiao Xiaohong that night, and I was really possessed!
Maybe the witch doctor didn't notice it, or maybe he didn't expose it and sent them on their way.
This is what happened next.
****
In the courtyard temporarily occupied by Ziyun Sect.
Tang Lan's face was as gloomy as water, becoming more and more ugly.
In just a few days, two junior brothers disappeared.
One of them was Bai Shanghai, whom Master valued highly.
Why did Tang Lan tolerate Bai Shanghai's extraordinary behavior before? Wasn't it because of this?
As a result, he also disappeared?
This made Tang Lan feel uneasy.
Putting aside the current crisis, Master's evaluation of her will inevitably be lowered when she returns to the sect.
"Senior Sister."
Wan Yinhua spoke carefully.
"Did you really believe what the hunter said?"
"Are there...any monsters around here?"
After hearing the junior sister's question, Tang Lan forced out a gentle smile and explained.
"He shouldn't have the guts to lie to us, and I searched around the yard with my inspiration, and he is indeed the only one left. There is no trace of peace."
Tang Lan thought he was cautious enough.
"Also, the blood stains cannot be faked."
"Shang Hai must have encountered a powerful enemy to leave such traces. Of course, the blood may also be Anle's."
When talking to Wan Yinhua, her attitude was actually a bit humble.
"It's such a pity."
Wan Yinhua regrets An Le's death.
Suddenly, a guess came to her mind——
Is there a possibility that Anle killed Senior Brother Bai?
As soon as the idea arose, she dismissed it and even found it a bit ridiculous.
Bai Shanghai is a monk at the eighth level of qi training, and he has a purple cloud shield given by his master to protect him. How could he be injured by a young Orion boy from a small mountain village?
It’s simply a fantasy!
Shaking his head, Wan Yinhua asked again.
"Speaking of which, why did Senior Brother Bai go to his yard?"
