Eternal Sword

Chapter 251 Weird Village

To the east of Qingzhou, adjacent to the East China Sea, there is a lake with a radius of 800 miles.

During the rainy season, the swamp covers an area of ​​more than a thousand miles and even connects with the East China Sea.

Legend has it that a dragon lives in this swamp!

Chen Tang rode on Hu Lei Bao and galloped all the way, traveling day and night. After about four days, he finally arrived near the water.

As we walked along, we could see how severe the flood in Qingzhou was. Houses were destroyed, villages were submerged, official roads had been washed away, and dead bodies could be seen everywhere in the mud.

Families were destroyed and people died in the mountain torrents.

Some died of starvation, some died of disease, and some entire families died together...

Every tragic scene along the way was shocking!
After leaving Yunduan County, the murderous intent in Chen Tang's heart not only did not dissipate, but became stronger and stronger!
As we got closer to the 800-li water lake, the surroundings gradually became drier and clearer, and there was no sign of being flooded by mountain torrents.

Chen Tang frowned secretly, feeling confused.

If the mountain torrent originated from the Qingzhou Lake, why is there no sign of destruction by the mountain torrent near the Qingzhou Lake?
Chen Tang walked forward a few miles and saw faint wisps of smoke in the distance.

As we got closer, we saw a village in front of us. It was almost noon and we could see that every household in the village was busy making fires and cooking.

Chen Tang moved his ears and could even hear the sounds of chickens and dogs in the village. Amid the flood in Qingzhou, it was actually a rare piece of pure land.

There was no trace of mountain torrents around the village.

This place seems like a paradise, incompatible with the world outside Qingzhou.

Chen Tang prepared to go into the village to find out.

At this moment, he seemed to realize something and looked around. His eyes inadvertently glanced at an ancient tree not far away, and then quickly looked away.

Chen Tang pretended not to know and walked some distance towards the village, getting closer and closer.

Whoosh!
The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air was heard.

A beam of white light shot out from behind the big tree, and with a flash of cold light, it rushed towards Chen Tang!

Alchemist?

Chen Tang was too familiar with this method.

Just as the opponent's flying sword was just sacrificed, Chen Tang had already jumped off his horse, taking two steps at a time, and in the blink of an eye he was close to the big tree!

The young Taoist priest hiding behind the tree was moving his sword fingers and secretly controlling the flying sword, trying to kill this outsider.

But the sword missed!
The young alchemist subconsciously leaned forward to take a look.

"Ok?"

The young alchemist was shocked.

What about people?

There was only a horse left at that location, and the person had disappeared!

This shock was no small matter.

He just clearly saw a man riding a horse towards him!
"Are you looking for me?"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in his ears!

The young alchemist's heart skipped a beat. Without having time to think, he quickly turned his sword around, trying to control the flying sword to turn back.

Chen Tang stretched out his hand, grabbed the man's neck joint and lifted him up!

"Ok!"

The young Taoist grunted and kicked wildly with his feet off the ground, unable to control the flying sword. He grabbed around with his hands but couldn't even touch the corner of Chen Tang's clothes.

"Where are you from?"

Chen Tang exerted slight force with his palms.

"what!"

The young alchemist felt a sharp pain in his neck. The pain spread throughout his entire spine and penetrated into his bones. He couldn't help but scream!
"I, I, I am a Taoist priest from Xuantian Temple in Longpan County, hiss..."

The young alchemist gasped and spoke haltingly.

"Why are you guarding outside this village?" Chen Tang asked again.

The young alchemist looked painful, but he endured the pain and suddenly shut up without saying a word.

Chen Tang snorted coldly, threw him to the ground, and broke his wrist with one foot!
"what!"

The young Taoist priest screamed again, his teeth chattering in pain. He stared at Chen Tang fiercely and said coldly, "You are so brave...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, Chen Tang stepped on him again, crushing his other wrist!
The young alchemist rolled his eyes in pain and fainted.

But soon, he was awakened by a sharp pain.

I saw Chen Tang stepping on his ankle and pressing down continuously!
"I said, I said!"

The young alchemist couldn't bear it anymore and finally gave in.

He originally wanted to use the identity of Xuantian Sect to intimidate the visitor.

Unexpectedly, the identity of Xuantian Sect could not scare this person at all!
The young Taoist swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "The temple master asked us to guard the area near Longyin Village. If anyone dares to leave the village, they will be killed."

Chen Tang asked: "Why is this?"

"do not know."

The young Taoist priest quickly shook his head and said, "We are just following orders. We don't know anything else."

Chen Tang asked again: "How many alchemists are there around this Longyin Village?"

The young Taoist priest said, "Besides me, there are three others, in three different directions."

Chen Tang hesitated for a moment and asked again: "How many people did you kill in this village?"

"No, not many."

The young Taoist priest said tremblingly: "After killing a few, the others didn't dare to come out."

"very good."

Chen Tang nodded, drew his knife, and slashed the man's throat!
He looked in the direction of Longyin Village and narrowed his eyes.

Xuantian Temple specially dispatched four alchemists to guard around this village and not allow the villagers to leave. What was their intention?
What secrets are hidden in this village?
Chen Tang hid his tracks, circled around Longyin Village, and found the alchemists in three other directions.

After some questioning, the answers obtained were not much different.

After Chen Tang dealt with the three alchemists, he carefully searched the area nearby. When he saw no other ambushes or suspicious activities, he returned to Hu Leibao and rode towards Longyin Village.

When they arrived at the gate of Longyin Village, some villagers saw Chen Tang and their eyes showed some surprise and vigilance.

"Big brother, don't enter the village, leave here quickly!"

Not far from the entrance of the village, a sturdy boy of about twelve or thirteen saw Chen Tang, ran over quickly and waved at him.

Chen Tang smiled slightly and said, "Little brother, I came to the village to ask for some water to drink. Sorry to bother you."

As he spoke, Chen Tang had already rode into Longyin Village!

The boy's face changed, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"oops!"

The young man sighed, looked at Chen Tang with eyes full of regret and sympathy, and said: "Brother, you don't know that once you enter Longyin Village, you can't leave!"

"Oh?"

Chen Tang dismounted, patted Hu Lei Bao, signaled it to go play by itself, and turned to ask: "What's the meaning of this?"

The young man said seriously, "Once the people in the village leave, they will be punished by heaven and die, or even punished by the dragon! Anyone who leaves the village will die!"

It is true that all the people who left the village died.

However, it was not a punishment from God, but man-made.

Chen Tang asked: "Who told you this?"

"The village witch."

The young man said, “And many people have seen it with their own eyes. People from the village didn’t run far away when they saw a flash of white light and a huge head flew up!”
