Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 114
Xiaohu's words made us all take a deep breath.

If the old woman called "Xiao Jiuer" is really Wang Cuihua who Xiaohu said in [-], then things will become weird.

What is it that will turn a young woman who is only 25 or six years old into an old woman in her 60s?

Chu Xiaotu asked in disbelief: "Did you remember wrong because you were too young at that time?"

Xiaohu pointed to his head, and said seriously: "I practiced at the age of three, and at the age of five, I was able to recite the "Poison Gu Sutra" that my grandfather called me. There are more than 1 words. Is it?"

I reached out to stop Chu Xiaotu and said, "You continue to talk."

Xiaohu took a deep breath, and then said: "Whether it was Wang Cuihua back then or Cai Yueniang now, when they entered the mountain, they were all in a daze, as if they had lost their souls; but the difference is that Wang Cuihua now She no longer loses her soul, she still seems to be very sober, the only thing wrong is that she has suddenly aged for decades, directly from youth to old age."

He took a deep breath: "What happened here, I'm afraid it involves the biggest secret in this village."

I nodded and said yes, there is something weird here, and it's very unusual—have you seen that the men in this village are all abnormal.

Chu Xiaotu also echoed: "Yes, whether it's your friend Ma Yi'ao, the men planting rice seedlings in the field, or the old dung picker who knelt down to the ground when he saw the old woman, they are all the same, very unusual."

Xiaohu said: "There are also their names, have you noticed? Ada, Wu Asan, Yang Laoqi, and the names they gave your friend..."

My eyes narrowed, and I said coldly: "Ma Laojiu - since he was picked up, why do you know his surname is Ma?"

Chu Xiaotu said that judging from their naming principles, there should only be nine men in this village.

I'm right, not only that, these nine men all undertake the most important labor work, all the dirty work is done by them, and if this is the case, what are those women doing?

Having said that, I have some headaches.

If these old women are all Luohuadong women, then why is the situation here reversed from the outside world?

The girls from Luohua Cave, who were obviously devastated and had mental problems, were all full of energy, and they were still walking like flying in their seventies and eighties.

But the rest of the men are all stupid, busy all day, but not tired.

This situation is really too weird.

Xiaohu looked at me and said, Hou Mo, whether Yueniang can be saved, get out of Luohua Cave Girl's distraught state, and leave safely depends on whether we can discover the secret of this village.You said before that you would help me, right?

I nodded firmly and said, of course, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold.

Xiaohu was a little excited, saying that I don't want Yueniang to become like those old withered skins, old and ugly, you promise me that no matter what happens, you won't let her become like that, can you?

I reached out and grabbed his trembling shoulder.

I know that this young man, no matter how mature and sophisticated he pretends to be, in his heart, he is still a child who has never experienced anything.

I have to give him enough confidence.

So I pressed his shoulder and said seriously: "Xiaohu, I promise you, as long as I live, I will stick to my promise. Not only her, but I also have to take my friend Ma Yi'ao out , and I am not a fool, I have to return to my original appearance, this, I use my personality to assure you."

Hearing my low voice and firm eyes, Xiaohu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to me: "The old woman just said that she lost her soul. The three souls and seven souls are all excuses."

I nodded and said that I know that the so-called three souls and seven souls are too illusory and inconclusive.

Xiaohu said again: "We are here, so we have to be extremely careful - I just used the method of hopefulness taught by my grandfather to size up this group of people, every old woman is a very powerful master of cultivation, the most powerful is that The 'big lady' who has been talking to you, her breath is so strong that it almost condenses into a ball. If we are serious, none of the three of us can match her."

I looked at him and asked seriously, "Really?"

Xiaohu nodded, saying that it was absolutely true, not only that, but those iron-eating beasts were also domesticated, with a certain IQ and personality. If we let these beasts out at that time, it would be very difficult for us to escape.

His words not only made me tremble with fear, but also made Chu Xiaotu beside him turn pale for a while.

She bit her cherry mouth, glared at me viciously, and said, "Didn't we say we were going to Farewell Island to find Huang Daxian? Why did we come to this ghostly place?"

I smiled bitterly and said that only Ma Yi'ao knew about Farewell Island, so I came here to look for him. Who would have thought that it would become like this?

Chu Xiaotu subconsciously glanced at the mountain scenery outside the window, and then said: "Then, if we run now, is it too late?"

I didn't speak, but Xiaohu replied: "No - you are running inside, you are messing with the stockade, and don't care whether the old woman's ghost hit the wall is true or not, and she is lying to us, but it is definitely dangerous; and If you want to leave, it will be very difficult to get out of Heifenggou. After all, when we came, we were led by Yueniang, so the journey was calm, but if we want to go out, it may be difficult..."

After he finished speaking like this, a word jumped out of my mind.

Longtan Tiger Den.

In fact, besides what Xiaohu said, I also saw a lot of things wrong. I even suspected that this so-called Daigui Village was actually Tuonong Village back then.

Because I was in it, I always felt a trace of coldness, and this breath was not like the elegance between silk and bamboo.

It's lifeless.

Of course, this is just my intuition, without concrete evidence to support it.

A few people were talking in low voices here, and suddenly footsteps came from the corridor at the door, we shut our mouths quickly, turned around, and saw a slightly younger, but still five or sixty-year-old old woman walking away came in.

When she found that we were all looking at her, she blushed a little and lowered her head.

She said: "Elder Sister asked me to come over and tell you that the banquet is almost ready, you can go with me."

I estimated the time, a little surprised, said so fast?
The old woman said: "It's not too fast. Many things are ready-made. You can start the fire immediately after you give an order. And you can have some tea first when you go over."

I was a little hesitant. I glanced at Xiaohu, and he shook his head quickly, saying that I would not go, because I was too tired.

I saw him leaning towards Yueniang, knowing that he was worried about Yueniang, afraid that after we left, these old women would take away Yueniang, who was also a Luohuadong girl.

But if we take Yueniang to the banquet, we will inevitably be questioned again, and it is difficult to justify ourselves.

I thought for a while and said to the old woman: "My little brother is not feeling well, let me go with you, and when I turn back, I'll just bring him some food."

The old woman looked up at Xiaohu, then quickly lowered her head and said, "Okay."

She turned around and walked out, I followed behind, gestured to Xiaohu, and Chu Xiaotu followed me.

I knew it was a grand banquet, and I didn't want Chu Xiaotu to follow me, so I gave her a glare.

I signaled her to stay with Xiaohu.

However, Chu Xiaotu stretched out her hand, took my arm, pretended not to see it, and said happily: "Okay, I finally have something to eat. After this day, I'm really hungry..."

Seeing her insistence on this, I felt a little helpless, so I walked out the door with her.

The old woman who came to call was a little shy and just walked with her head down.

We walked behind, Chu Xiaotu deliberately pulled away, and then whispered in my ear: "Grandma taught me some ways to recognize poison and Gu, I will follow you, so that you don't get hurt at the banquet." Medicine, and also turned into the idiot of your friend—if that's the case, we're all doomed."

I didn't say much, just nodded seriously towards her.

Then I whispered, "Thank you."

Chu Xiaotu raised her head, suppressed a smile and said, "Hmph, look at your virtue."

The lady's residence is not far from the guest room. After walking for two or three minutes, she walked along the stone road to the end.

Her residence here is taller than other wooden buildings, with three floors, and the wooden boards are painted with tung oil varnish, which looks very luxurious.

I introduced the house, and found that the structure here is very different from ordinary stilted houses, but similar to the scenes in ancient TV dramas.

Elegant and refined.

After passing the main room, I came to the quiet room in the left wing, and found that the decoration here is very simple, with a wooden coffee table and futon in the middle.

In the corner not far away is a screen, which depicts an ancient warrior with three heads and six arms. There seems to be horns on his head, and a giant panda with a fierce look on his crotch.

The lady waited inside, and after Chu Xiaotu and I were seated, she made tea for us, and the whole set of tea art flowed smoothly, making people look very comfortable.

When drinking tea, I just chatted briefly, and after a while, someone came over and said, "The meal is ready."

The lady asked people to remove the tea set, set out the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses, then waved her hand, and a person came in, unexpectedly it was Ma Yi'ao.

He came to serve the food, holding the plate and keeping his eyes on it.

When he put down the plate, the lady remembered something and said to him: "Don't worry, these are all your friends, let's sit down and eat together?"

Ma Yi'ao said with a silly smile: "I've eaten in the kitchen - the food cooked by Wu Asan is delicious, hehe, hehe..."

He put down the plate covered by the metal dome and turned away.

The lady put her hand on the metal cover, and then said with a smile: "There is nothing delicious in the backcountry, but the food is quite unique, such as this dish—squeaky, dipped in our homemade soy sauce , the taste is very delicious..."
