Open up the world in Journey to the West

"Then I'll leave first, and you can eat slowly."

The village chief saw the two arguing and left.

When Julong saw the village chief leaving, he immediately stopped quarreling with him. He felt that something was very wrong with the village chief, so Julong found an excuse and left, quietly following behind the village chief. Just now I felt that the village chief was very strange. In order to remain calm and not attract other people's attention, the giant dragon chose to follow the village chief himself without telling others.

The night was getting dark, and the village chief looked left and right. As he walked forward, he looked left and right, and the movements of his feet also accelerated.

"Where are you going?"

The giant dragon frowned, puzzled as to why the village chief was acting strangely.

As the speed of his feet increased, the village chief soon came to a place. This place was very empty. The giant dragon stopped not far away and did not dare to continue to follow because he found a place not far away. Some people held torches and everyone wore white clothes, as if they were performing some kind of ceremony. They were worried that if they passed by recklessly, they might disturb other people.

"Village chief, you are finally here."

When the village chief approached those people, a man walked towards the village chief. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, it could be seen that the man looked very nervous.

"Village Chief, what should we do with this person? Is it the same as last time?"

"Village Chief, this matter must be dealt with quickly, before others find out."

Several villagers holding torches talked to each other. The village chief looked at the unconscious man on the ground and thought for a moment.

"Tie him up, just like last time."

The village chief's expression was completely different from before. He looked at the unconscious man on the ground as if he already had something in his pocket.

After hearing the village chief's words, several villagers immediately picked up the man on the ground and tied him to a wooden stake. The man was still unconscious and did not know whether he was dead or alive.

Then, a villager took a white coat and put it on the village chief.

"What are they going to do!"

The giant dragon was startled by this scene. He didn't know what they were going to do. He didn't dare to act rashly and could only watch on the spot.

The village chief took a wooden sword from the villagers, took a bowl of glutinous rice flour, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice flour, and threw it directly into the fire.

Just like that, all the villagers surrounded the man and raised their torches high.

The village chief began to recite the incantation. He became more and more excited and his voice became louder and louder.

When the dragon saw this place again, he already felt that something was very wrong. He kept thinking in his mind why the village chief tied a person to this place, and what he wanted to do with this action was like doing something.

While he was thinking, the village chief had already raised a sword, came to the man, cut his hand first, and then poured blood onto the man's face.

The dragon looked up and saw that the village chief had raised the sword in his hand and waved it towards the man.

When the dragon reacted and tried to stop him, the man's head had already fallen to the ground.

The dragon's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the scene in front of him, and countless doubtful questions flashed in his mind.

The giant dragon couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He wanted to step forward and ask the village chief what was going on. The village chief, who seemed very kind and kind on the surface, was secretly killing people here. He couldn't let this happen. occur.

The giant dragon was moving under its feet, but when it thought about what if the village chief was to knock him down if he revealed this matter now, the dragon stopped moving at this thought.

"No, I...I have to go back and tell everyone about this first."

The giant dragon looked at everything in front of him. The identity of the village chief was definitely not simple, and this village was definitely not simple either. He did not dare to stay any longer and fled the place immediately.

house.

The pig demon was sitting on the bed, holding a big cake in his hand and eating crazily.

"If you ask me, don't eat it. Where did the dragon go?"

Sun Wukong looked at the pig demon and felt that he had failed all day long and thought about eating every day. Now the dragon didn't know where he went. It was already this hour and no one was seen.

"I don't know where he has gone. He may not be able to scold me, so he should find a place to feel sad."

The pig demon didn't care so much and continued to take bites of the pie in his hand.

Su Zian also felt strange that in just a moment, the dragon disappeared.

"Wukong, go out and look for him quickly. It's getting so late now. Don't cause any trouble."

Su Zian felt strange. In the past, the giant dragon would always tell him what he was going to do. But today he left without saying a word. There must be something wrong with it.

"That's okay, I'll go out and take a look."

Sun Wukong also felt that something was very wrong with the dragon today, so he was going to go outside to take a look.

As soon as the door of the house was pushed open, the dragon was already panting at the door.

"where did you go?"

Sun Wukong looked at the giant dragon panting and wondered what he had done.

"I...I...I'll drink some water first."

The dragon didn't have time to say anything else, so he took a sip of water, and then looked at Su Zian with a very serious expression.

"I just followed the village chief all the way, and I found that the village chief and others were killing innocent people indiscriminately, as if they were performing some kind of horrific ritual, and then killed the people."

The dragon's voice became softer. After all, walls have ears. The village chief and the villagers in the village were very strange.

"what?"

Su Zian looked at the giant dragon in disbelief. The villagers here looked so amiable, how could they do such a thing.

"Julong, how could such a good village leader do such a thing? Are you mistaken?"

The pig demon looked at the dragon with disbelief, thinking that he was talking nonsense here.

"I saw it with my own eyes. Do you believe them or me?"

The giant dragon turned his head and looked at the pig demon eating pie on the bed. He was very angry and came directly to the pig demon.

Before the pig demon could react, the giant dragon had already grabbed the pig demon's collar and was about to beat him.

"What do you want to do!"

The pig demon looked like he wasn't afraid at all.

The two started to quarrel and beat each other.

Su Zian looked at the two of them and frowned. He didn't know how to judge this matter.

Seeing Su Zian's frown, Sun Wukong immediately stepped forward and stopped the two people who were fighting in a ball.

"Okay, okay, what's the fuss about here?"

Sun Wukong went up and gave him a hard fight, and the two of them immediately became quiet.

After the two were beaten, neither of them dared to say anything, they just glared at each other fiercely.

This matter is over for now.

The next morning.

Su Zian woke up from his dream and heard dense footsteps coming from outside. Su Zian frowned and immediately got up from the bed. When he came to the door, he found that there were many villagers outside. Although everyone had Everyone was doing something, but when he saw himself coming out, all eyes were on him, which made him feel very strange.

Su Zian clearly felt that since they arrived at this place, these villagers had been staring at them from time to time, as if watching their every move. Su Zian felt something was wrong and remembered what the dragon said last night. This place was not suitable for staying for a long time.

"Everyone wake up, we are leaving here today."

Su Zian returned to the room, looked at the few people who had not come to wake up, and immediately asked everyone to pack their luggage and leave here today.

After hearing Su Zian's words, everyone started to get busy.

"You guys pack your bags first, and I'll tell the village chief that we're leaving here today."

Su Zian had a very bad feeling, so he had to leave this place quickly.

The village chief did not feel surprised at all about Su Zian's arrival, because everyone in the village was his informant.

"Village Chief, we have been harassing you for many days, and we are ready to leave today. I am very grateful to the Village Chief for your care during this time."

Su Zian looked at the village chief and the villagers in front of him and directly proposed to leave the village today.

When they heard Su Zian say that he was leaving the village, all the villagers looked at each other, with some incomprehensible expressions in their eyes.

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, everyone has prepared a lot of meals today, and the villagers really hope you can stay, so don't leave."

Hearing the village chief speak, the villagers swarmed forward and looked at Su Zian in front of them, trying to stop them in every possible way, just not wanting them to leave.

"That's right. Is it because we didn't take good care of you that we wanted to leave?"

"Everyone likes you very much and hopes you can stay."

The villagers looked at Su Zian, talking to each other. The expressions on their faces and these words were hard to refuse.

The village chief looked at Su Zian and the villagers with a friendly look on his face.

Su Zian originally wanted to refuse, but the expressions of the village chief and the villagers made it impossible for him to refuse, so he finally had to agree.

"Then I'll trouble the village chief. The village chief must accept the money. It will be a productive period of time."

Su Zian didn't want to owe a favor, so he put the bundle in his hand on the table, hoping that the village chief would take it. Although he felt strange, he couldn't stand these villagers.

"How can I charge you money? It's just meager food. Just don't mind."

The smile on the village chief's face was very thick. Su Zian couldn't see anything else and couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

The villagers looked at him with the same expression as before, making it impossible for him to tell anything else.

When Su Zian returned to the room, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"We have packed our things, shall we leave now?"

The dragon has packed all his luggage. The scene he saw last night made him want to leave here quickly today.

Before Su Zian could speak, a large number of villagers poured in from outside the door, all holding prepared meals in their hands.

"There is nothing good. I hope you can eat and drink well."

"I picked these from the mountain this morning. They must be delicious."

Seeing the strange behavior of the villagers, Su Zian felt more and more strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

The villagers put down the food and left. Watching the villagers leave, the pig demon didn't think much at all and just picked up the food and started eating.

"Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat every day!"

The giant dragon looked like it hated iron.

"Then we're not leaving?"

Sun Wukong looked at Su Zian. He had already decided to leave the village. Now, because the villagers still have the village chief, why don't they just leave?

"Looking at their attitude, if we force ourselves to leave, I'm afraid they won't let us go that easily."

Su Zian sighed and said, he should think of another way.

Sun Wukong felt that if these villagers refused to let them leave, there would naturally be other ways. If that didn't work, they would just go head-on.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the house, and before a few people could react, the door had been pushed open.

The village chief walked in with a smile on his face and looked at Su Zian in front of him, looking affable.

"I'm so happy that you guys can stay."

The village chief walked in and came directly in front of Su Zian, looking at Su Zian with a smile.

"I wonder what the village chief has to do?"

Su Zian looked at the village chief. He had just returned from him and he came to see him again. He must have something going on.

"I came here today because I have something I hope you can help me with, but I can't say it here."

When the village chief spoke, his eyes were wandering and he kept looking around.

Sun Wukong stood next to Su Zian, looking at the village chief in front of him, wondering what tricks he wanted to play.

"There are no outsiders here. If the village chief has anything to say, he can say it directly."

Su Zian looked at the village chief and asked him to speak directly without being too formal.

"This matter should be discussed at my home, so I came here to invite you to my home."

The village chief looked at Su Zian and seemed to invite him to his home. Moreover, his words also revealed that this matter seemed to be quite serious, so the two of them needed to communicate privately.

Su Zian looked at the village chief and didn't understand why the village chief suddenly invited him to his home, but he had no reason to refuse at the moment.

Sun Wukong felt that there must be some fraud involved, but he did not dare to say anything before Su Zian spoke.

The giant dragon stood in front of Su Zian. Thinking of the scene he saw last night, he knew that the village chief was not a good person, so this matter must not be simple.

"I wonder if you can agree to my invitation?"

Seeing that Su Zian didn't speak, the village chief extended the invitation again.

Su Zian looked at the village chief with a smile on his lips.

"Naturally."

Julong didn't expect Su Zian to agree and was a little panicked.

Sun Wukong kept looking at the village chief in front of him, always having a bad feeling.

"Then please come with me."

The village chief made an invitation.

Su Zian nodded and did not refuse the village chief's invitation.

Su Zian and the village chief left the house just like that. (End of chapter)
