Chapter 39: Demon Servant (1)
一
According to the instructions of the village chief, the villagers stood guard outside the tomb, and no one dared to enter.Of course, even without the village chief's order, they would like to stay as far away from this tomb as possible.

After waiting for a long time, the village head still did not come out, but there were some faint sounds from inside.They had no way of judging what these sounds meant, but they could all guess from the lack of news from the village chief that something might be wrong.

"Uncle Yu didn't come out, neither did the village chief..." A villager finally couldn't help but said, "Could it be that they have...been..."

"The ancestors wouldn't eat our own people, right?" A young man was very surprised, "Aren't we its descendants?"

"Whether it is a descendant or grandchild, I can't say for sure, but even if it is a descendant, the ancestors probably wouldn't care..." The first villager who spoke muttered, but his voice was very small, as if he was afraid of being heard by the ancestors.

"Don't talk nonsense!" An elderly villager next to him pushed him angrily.He didn't dare to fight back, he could only swear in his mouth.The others were silent, but their faces were filled with fear and uneasiness.

"There are so many people guarding here, it seems that something really happened." A strange voice suddenly sounded.The villagers had never heard this man's voice, not to mention that he did not speak a local accent.

The villagers hurriedly turned around and found that there were two more people behind them, two outsiders: one of them was a thin man in his 30s, who looked around casually as he walked, and seemed to turn a blind eye to these villagers, and the other was a smiling man. He was a handsome young man with a friendly face, and he was the one who spoke just now.

But whether it is cold or kind, the appearance of these two strangers is really strange.The entrance to this village has been sealed off. In order to search for Feng Si, there are many people patrolling everywhere, but these two guys unexpectedly bypassed all the guards without making a sound, and appeared in the core of the mountain village with ease. Location.

"Who are you?" The old villager who got angry earlier asked sharply.It seems that in the absence of the village head and Uncle Yu, this person has the highest qualifications.As he asked, he gestured, and the rest immediately formed a circle with the two of them in the middle.

"I don't want to hurt people, so please get out of the way," the handsome young man said with a smile, "Life is hard to come by."

He also looked kind when he spoke, and he looked really harmless to humans and animals all over his face.Although these villagers have been guarding the tombs of their ancestors for many years, they are not completely ignorant. From the ease with which the two sneaked in, one can guess that their backgrounds are unusual.Although they surrounded the enemy at this moment, the villagers did not dare to act rashly.

"Who the hell are you?" The old villagers were also a little apprehensive, and did not dare to issue the order to attack.

"It's useless to talk, you'd better get out of the way," said the young man with a kind smile, "it will be too late. Your ancestors may kill all the living things in this area."

"You... what nonsense are you talking about?" The old villager's expression changed, and he took a step back subconsciously.

"What kind of thing is the old ancestor? I think you should be very clear in your hearts. It's okay to lie to outsiders, but don't lie to yourself." The young man shook his index finger, "Now only the two of us can stop it." It, otherwise all of you in the village will die."

The gray-haired old man hesitated for a while, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, apparently moved by the young man's words.But half a minute later, he still stomped his feet fiercely and yelled, "Don't listen to their nonsense! Quickly arrest these two outsiders!"

The villagers looked at me and I looked at you, with a little fear in their eyes, but they still didn't dare to disobey the old man's order, and slowly moved forward to narrow the encirclement.At first, their pace was full of caution, but it seemed that they were trying to ease the tension in their hearts. Finally, a young villager couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere and let out a roar.This roar stimulated the nerves of all the companions, and they all uttered the same roar, waving the things in their hands, and rushed towards the two of them.

The two people in the encirclement didn't move at all, appearing very leisurely.The villagers who rushed to the front were even more uneasy. While covering up his uneasiness with an almost crazy roar, he raised the sickle in his hand high and slashed at the man who had always looked cold.It seemed that he planned to kill the enemy directly.

"It's so ruthless..." The young man who had been smiling couldn't help frowning slightly, "No one can save you now."

Following his muttering, the villager had already rushed half a meter in front of the man, and the sickle in his hand began to fall, and it was about to split the man's head in half.But at this moment, as if he had received an electric shock suddenly, his movements froze all of a sudden, his arms hovered abruptly in mid-air, and his whole body began to shake violently.An expression of extreme pain appeared on his face, his mouth was slightly opened, as if he wanted to continue shouting, but it was too late to make a sound.At the same time, his clothes began to wrinkle and deform, emitting blue smoke, and the skin exposed outside the clothes quickly turned red, and then took on a deep black color like charcoal.

He started to burn.

Half a second later, he was already surrounded by a group of dazzling red flames, and another half second later, the group of flames disappeared, and his body disappeared along with the flames.

—he had been reduced to a mass of ashes.

And the two strangers from outside stood still, not moving a bit.

The other villagers who surrounded him also suffered similar injuries, but the degree was much lighter than that of the young man who turned into ashes.They're just red and blistered skin, like a mild burn.Even so, the sudden severe pain was enough to make them fall to the ground and moan in pain, losing the ability to fight.

"You still haven't changed, Liang Ye," the young man smiled and shook his head, "You don't hesitate to use any evil hands on those who dare to offend you, but you always have a little compassion for other so-called 'innocent' people. So I have always praised that although you look like a knife, you are actually a good person."

These two strangers, of course, were Liang Ye and Lu Hanyi who had been staying outside the village earlier. For some unknown purpose, they changed their previous plan of "not interfering" and entered the village anyway. In front of the ancestor's grave.

Liang Ye seemed to be used to Lu Hanyi's teasing him, and he didn't even bother to snort.He just strode forward, stepping over the wounded who were struggling painfully on the ground, and walked up to the frightened old villagers giving orders.

"If you don't want to die, go back and evacuate everyone." Liang Ye dropped these words, then walked past the old villagers and walked towards the closed tomb door.The old villager was trembling all over, looking at the tragedy in front of him in disbelief, and did not dare to stop him at all.After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "You... are you and the ancestors... the same?"

"Do you want us to be the same?" Liang Ye stopped in his tracks.

The old villager looked blank, and said slowly: "Isn't one enough?"

"Then, as you wish, we are different." Liang Ye waved his hand and continued to walk towards the stone gate of the tomb.But after taking a few steps, he stopped again.

Because he has already felt the strange changes behind him.After the conversation, the old villager had already walked towards the village, intending to let the whole village, old and young, escape as Liang Ye said.However, before taking two steps, his body suddenly went limp, and he fell to the ground without even groaning, and did not move anymore.This old man with gray hair who looked to be in his 50s, now his skin was wrinkled like dried orange peel, most of his hair had fallen out, and the rest of his hair had turned into glaring white.It was as if an unknown force had aged him by decades in just a few seconds, and then used aging itself to take his life.

The other villagers who were still moaning in pain on the ground before also stopped struggling in the same way.They are all dead.

"Why bother?" Liang Ye said three words without looking back.

"Based on his few words, it may not be able to persuade everyone in the village to leave," Lu Hanyi said, "If someone is worried and decides to come here first, it may cause trouble for us. My principle is that you knew."

"Whatever." Liang Ye only said two words this time, and then strode to the door of the tomb.He stretched out his hand and pushed the door of the tomb, but found that he couldn't open it, so he stood still, as if he was using some special ability to sense the situation behind the door.Half a minute later, Liang Ye said, "The inside is sealed with a mechanism, and they are all thick stone slabs. With your and my abilities, I'm afraid there is no way to open it in a short time."

"Oh, that's going to be a big trouble." Although Lu Hanyi said so, the expression on his face was still relaxed.He stepped forward and used a method similar to Liang Ye's to detect it, then shook his head: "The technology of the ancient Xichuan sect, once the mechanism is activated, the entrance of the entire tomb will be locked with heavy stones, unless blasting means or underground Dig, otherwise it's impossible to get it open."

"In other words, we're still a step late." Liang Ye spread his hands, but he didn't look very anxious.Lu Hanyi glanced at him, and smiled silently: "Actually, this result is something you're looking forward to, isn't it?"

"Probably belongs to a mentality of...surviving in chaos," Liang Ye shook his head. "The situation is so severe, sometimes, it is inevitable to feel that hope is slim, and maybe it can only be pinned on miracles. But right now... right now..."

"The situation of this 'miracle' is even more serious now," Lu Hanyi continued for him, "What he has to face is a demon servant who may have survived for thousands of years, and this demon servant has been kept by the local fools for a long time. It is difficult to predict what kind of mutation it may produce if it is offered as a god."

"Actually, when we were staying outside the mountain just now, you had already found out the details of this demon servant through your information channel, so you changed your mind and dragged me into the mountain, right?" Liang Ye He said unhurriedly, "What's so special about it?"

Lu Hanyi smiled, and was about to speak, but suddenly put away his smile, and for the first time a stern expression appeared on his face.Almost at the same moment, Liang Ye's body tensed like a drawn bow.Immediately afterwards, some extremely subtle and peculiar changes occurred in the space around the two of them, as if the air was shaking like a solid. Although the shaking was fleeting, everything around them immediately looked different.

At this time, if there is a person with good eyesight standing far away, you will find that with Liang Ye and Lu Hanyi as the center, within a radius of several meters around the two people, the color of the air is slightly different. Change.These spaces where the tone changes are almost like two hemispherical covers, enveloping the two of them.

The most interesting thing is the intersection of the two "covers", where there are fine water-like ripples flashing in midair, showing a fierce confrontation and mutual intransigence.However, it can be seen that the confrontation between each other is not the main theme at this moment, Liang Ye and Lu Hanyi's attention is focused on another direction, the direction of the entrance of the Forbidden Forest.

A figure was slowly walking towards the two of them.

Although they were still far away, the two seemed to have identified each other's identities, and quickly showed strong hostility.The vaguely different colors in the air became more and more intense, and even faint sparks flickered, making the boundary between the two hemispherical "covers" clearer.

"Why so much hostility, two brothers?" The figure spoke, and it was a pleasant female voice, "I didn't come to fight with you this time."

Although her words showed no hostility, Liang Ye and Lu Hanyi did not relax at all.The two moved around, each occupying a corner in front of the tomb, intentionally or unintentionally forming an approximately equilateral triangle with the new woman.

The visitor slowly approached.Although the villagers with flashlights either fled or fell to the ground with injuries, they could still vaguely see the appearance of this person with the help of moonlight. It was indeed a young woman in her early 20s.There is a slight gap with her gentle and melodious voice. This girl is chubby and chubby. She can play Kung Fu Panda with a pair of sunglasses, but she has a cute round face.Like Lu Hanyi, she also smiled all over her face, but there was a big difference between their smiles.When Lu Hanyi smiled, it gave people a warm and trustworthy feeling, but this fat girl smiled naively, even a little silly.In today's age of false innocence, young women call men who are not related by blood "brother", which often has a terrifying effect, but from this fat girl's mouth, it seems natural and kind, It can make people get close to her unconsciously.

It's just that the two "brothers" don't seem to think that she is any amiable.Although Lu Hanyi didn't have any special expression, the fluctuations in the air around him didn't decrease at all, and Liang Ye frowned unabashedly.

"Long time no see, Lulu." Lu Hanyi waved his hands, as if greeting affectionately.But following this waving movement, the body of the fat girl named Lulu trembled slightly, and clear ripples appeared on the top of her head.

That was when the strength of the two collided.After this collision, the alien world around Lulu was already clearly discernible, and it seemed that neither she nor Lu Hanyi took advantage of it.

"Hey, Brother Lu, why are you so rude every time you see me!" Lulu said aggrievedly, "And you, Brother Liangye, will you die if you see me smiling?"

"If you die, I will laugh, Wang Lu." Liang Ye said lightly.

Wang Lu pursed her lips: "Forget it, you two are big villains anyway, and my lord has a lot of things that I don't care about with you."

"What are you doing here today, Lord Lulu?" Lu Hanyi asked.

"Aren't you here to help you two idiots!" Wang Lu snorted, "I guess you must not know the mechanism of this tomb. If the tomb is closed from the inside, you can only go outside I stared blankly."

"Sounds good, but other than that, what conspiracy do you have?" Liang Ye took two steps forward, and the layer of alien world shrouded around him moved accordingly, colliding with Wang Lu's alien world .A purple light flashed suddenly where the two borders met, as if something had exploded, followed by a piercing scream.After the unbearable screeching sound disappeared, both Liang Ye and Wang Lu's expressions were a little ugly, and Wang Lu even smiled wryly.

"Give me some trust, brother," Wang Lu's tone was full of grievances, "I'm really here to help you this time."

"I want to trust you too, but the cost of doing that is too high," Liang Ye said, "It's too high for me to bear."

"Okay, okay, I know I made a little mess for you before, so you are very upset..." Wang Lu pursed her lips.

"'A little mess has been made', you said it so lightly." Lu Hanyi shook his head, "But it's just a matter of the past, today's matter is very important, and I must never let you get close."

"But don't let me get close, what can you do?" Wang Lu smiled sweetly, "The attached brains of the two brothers are indeed very powerful, but it just so happens that there seems to be no way to deal with this purely barbaric blockade mechanism. Ah. On the contrary, my useless sister is the only one who can solve the problem at this moment."

Before the two could answer, another voice suddenly sounded not far away: "Is it the only one? Not necessarily?"

This time it was a man's voice, his voice was shrill, almost harsh, and his tone seemed strange.
