Chapter 291 Caution
"My lord, you can also ask Mr. Ma, this trip belongs to Mr. Ma, he has a lot of knowledge, maybe he knows something." Zhang Shuitian also said to Xiu.

"Okay, please help me to invite him over!" Yu Xiu nodded, there must be something strange in it, Yu Xiu still hopes to learn more about the situation around here.

Soon the hale and hearty old man was brought in front of Yu Xiu. The old man was relatively calm, bowed slightly and said, "Old man Ma Yuan is the deacon of Tianling Pavilion. It is relatively familiar, if the adults have any questions, the old man will definitely answer them with all his heart."

"Did anything strange happen around here during this time?" Yu Xiu looked at the old man, nodded slightly, and asked directly.

"Well, this is the border area between Xuanzhou and Liangzhou. There are more horse thieves and robbers on weekdays. There is nothing particularly strange. By the way, this old man remembered that before I set off a few days ago, I heard that the branch Some people said that there seemed to be a lot of missing people here, and those people were not missing one by one, but the whole village in one village disappeared together.”

The old man tried hard to think back and said after a while.

"Missing? What's going on, explain clearly!" Yu Xiu's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the middle-aged man who was killed by Moxiu in the distance. He seemed to have faintly felt something.

"I heard that the guards of a carriage team originally belonged to a village near here. They wanted to go home and take a look when they stopped by here, but they found that the entire village was empty and everyone was gone."

While thinking about it, Mr. Ma said: "At first he thought that bandits, horse thieves or some powerful monsters came here and killed all the people in the village, but he didn't find any traces of fighting, and there was no blood. It seems that the people in the whole village have left, but the strange thing is that there are quite a lot of things in the houses in the village, and it doesn’t seem like they have moved away.”

"Later, someone searched the neighborhood again, but they didn't find any corpses or signs of fighting in this village, so it became a strange thing and spread."

"Later, I heard that the disciples of Xuanqing Sect also came here to investigate, but they didn't seem to find anything, so they left again. It didn't take long for another village to have an accident. Now it's panicking, and many people have moved to I went to a big town like Ye'an Town."

"This should be the news from the Zongmen." After listening to the old man's words, Yu Xiu thought to himself. He also went to know the information from the Zongmen, and it was indeed because of the sudden disappearance of people on the border. It is suspected that there are demons infested.

And Yu Xiu's destination this time is also Ye'an Town. To investigate this matter, he will also search for traces of the demon race. After all, the demon king is in an extremely weak state after breaking free from the seal, and he needs to recuperate to recover his strength, and the human soul is its best. tonic.

But Yu Xiu didn't expect to meet people from the Demon Sect here. This is the area of ​​Xuanzhou, but it is the territory of Xuanqingmen. Although the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Xuanqingmen still sends disciples to guard here.

"Well, thank you very much!" Yu Xiu also bowed his hands to the old man.

Ma Lao quickly waved his hand: "My lord, you are welcome."

"Master, hello!" At this moment, Little Jinzi and Little Panda in the woods jumped out of the woods carrying a half-dead man, and Little Panda jumped directly onto Yu Xiu's shoulder and said.

"Say!" Yu Xiu was also delighted.

"They also came to look for the ancient demons. It is said that there are also people missing in Liangzhou. Later, these demon cultivators were sent by the Dark Demon Sect to infiltrate here to find some clues." Xiao Jinzi said.

"Hmph, these are all bullshit." Yu Xiu snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with the result.

"It's hard for me to guarantee whether this is true, but there is a piece of news that you must be interested in." Xiao Jinzi said with a smile, as if he didn't see Yu Xiu's dissatisfaction.

"The elder Wanxie of the Dark Demon Sect seems to be near the border. They are sent to explore the way. They seem to be looking for something. I don't know if they are really looking for traces of the demons." Seeing Yu Xiu Na stared at him, and Xiao Jinzi also said hastily.

"Didn't he say what it was?" Yu Xiu asked with a frown.

"No, he didn't know what he was looking for. The mission they got was to detect the situation on our side. They only needed to collect some information about our vicinity. The man who was killed by them just now was a nearby Orion is very familiar with the terrain within a hundred miles."

"But I didn't expect that the Orion saw the two of them flee as if they had seen a ghost, and they just fled to our side. In order not to reveal their whereabouts, they had to kill them, and we were also implicated."

"Okay, let's get rid of him!" After hearing this, Yu Xiu was also lost in thought. How could this Orion have such a big reaction?According to Xiao Jinzi's words, the two demon cultivators were purely looking for news, and the Orion could have told them everything he knew, how could he react so violently.

"Brother, there is probably something weird about this matter." Little Panda also said, even this little guy felt a little unusual.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow when we go to Ye'an Town. I guess it won't be that simple this time." Yu Xiu copied the portrait of the dead man, put it away carefully, and said looking at the dark night sky.

The next day, early in the morning, the convoy was ready to go. Zhang Shuitian and the others carefully asked Yu Xiu for advice before leading the convoy forward. The man who died yesterday had been buried. Xiu was also disposed of by Yu Xiu without leaving any traces.

As for Zhang Shuitian and the others, even if they were given ten guts, they would not dare to talk about it casually, after all, no one wanted to offend the Xuanqingmen.

After another day of walking, Yu Xiu and the others slowly arrived at a rather lively town. Zhang Tiansheng jumped off his horse, walked up to Yu Xiu respectfully and said, "My lord, this is Ye'an Town , would you like to find an inn to take a good rest?"

"No need, let's leave now, thanks to Brother Tian's care!" Yu Xiu smiled slightly, took out a hundred high-grade spirit stones and said.

Zhang Shuitian quickly backed down, flattered and flattered, and said: "My lord, this is a shame for us. We can't accept this spirit stone. It is our honor to serve you, Your lord."

"Haha, just accept it, don't talk nonsense about what happened yesterday!" Yu Xiu stuffed it into Zhang Shuitian's hands, and then said with a meaningful glance at the team members.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will know what to do. If anyone dares to chew their tongues, I, Lao Zhang, will be the first to spare them." Zhang Shuitian also glanced at his subordinates and said fiercely.

The people in the motorcade were also silent, all bowed their heads in silence, and Yu Xiu nodded, and then walked towards the bustling town like an ordinary casual repairman.

The town was still very lively, but Yu Xiu keenly noticed that there was a touch of panic in the eyes of the people in the town, and most of the passers-by looked in a hurry, and there was a small detail that Yu Xiu noticed, the bustling street Not a single child.

Logically speaking, there are usually many children playing in lively streets and towns, but Yu Xiu didn't see a child, there were only some hurried pedestrians, and many people were wearing weapons. Is it the prevalence of martial arts or what is the reason.

Yu Xiu chose a tavern, went in, ordered two jugs of wine and a plate of peanuts, found a corner and sat down, Xiao Jinzi temporarily hid in his sleeve, while Panda jumped on the table and ate happily Peanut drank the wine secretly, and his cute and honest appearance also attracted the attention of some people in the tavern.

"I heard that Li Huzi disappeared last night. I don't know if it has something to do with that incident." The tavern was quite lively. After sitting for a while, Yu Xiu heard the people around whispering.

"No way, he's missing too? It's tens of miles away, and he won't get lost with his eyes closed. Could it be that he encountered a horse thief?" Some people didn't believe it.

"Just kidding, Li Hu grew up here since he was a child, let alone a horse thief, even a monster can't catch that kid." There was also a man wearing an animal skin on the upper body and sneered.

"Could it be related to what happened a few days ago? People from two villages have disappeared." A look of panic flashed in someone's eyes. During this period of time, people in Ye'an Town were also a little panicked.

"I heard that the monks of Xuanqingmen didn't find any clues, but there is a ghost?" the timid man muttered in a low voice.

"Hmph, what kind of ghost is so powerful? If there really was a ghost, it would have been taken away by the monks of Xuanqing Sect." Some people didn't believe it.

"Then tell me what's going on. Hundreds of people from the two villages disappeared without a trace. I haven't seen such a scary thing in my life." The timid man said angrily with a reddish face.

"In my opinion, the demon cultivators from Liangzhou came here to harm people. The demon cultivators are cruel by nature, and I have heard a lot about killing people and refining their souls. Maybe these people are made by the demon cultivators." Someone speculated.

"The devil cultivators do things in a public manner. If they did it, they would probably slaughter the village directly." Someone also said.

"Maybe it's the demon cultivator who is practicing some kind of demon skill, that's why they kidnapped hundreds of people, and this is within the territory of Xuanzhou, they are afraid of disturbing the people of the Xuanqing sect, so they made such a thing." Some people nodded and said. .

"But it seems that this place is becoming more and more unsafe, everyone should be more careful in the future." Someone sighed.

"I hope the monks of Xuanqingmen can solve this matter quickly."
