After an argument, as evening approached, everyone finally dispersed, and Lu Fan was invited by the village chief to his home as a guest.

After Ma Yong sent someone to move Qin Xueye back to his room, he walked alone to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village and meditated secretly.

Xiaoye's stomach was stabbed all the way through. It was a good thing that he survived by chance. Logically speaking, he should be grateful to that Lu Shenxian, but for some reason, Ma Yong always felt that this Lu Fan had unknown origins and was quite suspicious.

Indeed, his skills were extraordinary. He easily stopped Xue Ye's bleeding with those medicinal powders, and he looked like an immortal.

But Ma Yong has been observing the other person's words and deeds, and feels that this person is not as kind-hearted as he shows.

There are a lot of troubles in Huaiyang Village now. People in the village can't get out for no reason, people from outside can't come in, and there are monsters hiding in the dark. These things are very urgent and should be solved as soon as possible, but Lu Fan is not in a hurry.

He was not impatient, and it was easy to open and close his mouth. As soon as the conversation changed, he immediately asked Su Lin again.

The more Ma Yong thought about the other party's previous behavior, the more he felt that the other party had no intention of helping them deal with the demon, and was simply looking for Su Lin.

And the most suspicious thing was that he smelled a faint smell of corpse from the young man.

He has been dealing with corpses for so many years, and he is very familiar with this smell. He can never smell it wrong. Although it is very faint, Lu Fan does have the smell of corpses. He should have been close to a more severely decomposed corpse not long ago.

.

Within a radius of ten miles, the only place with such a corpse is probably Yizhuang. The other party has probably been to Yizhuang.

Xiao Ye said that Su Lin went to Yizhuang to catch the monster. He believed that with Su Lin's intelligence, his decision would not be wrong. The monster should be in Yizhuang, but Lu Fan went to Yizhuang and did not mention Su Lin.

Demon, what does this mean?

eccentric.

It's really weird.

"Meow~~"

A long cat meow came from the old locust tree. Ma Yong looked up and found a black cat squatting on the branch, its golden eyes staring straight at him.

The next second, the black cat jumped down from the tree and landed lightly on the ground.

It arched its back in front of Ma Yong, and its body stretched and expanded. Its dark hair seemed to melt and stick together, turning into the texture of paint. Finally, the melted fur gradually solidified and softened, transforming into an ink-style costume.

The cat's body gradually took on a human form. She flicked her neck back, and a heroic woman appeared in front of Ma Yong.

The opponent had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and a hint of coldness in his narrowed eyes.

Before Ma Yong could react from the shock, the other party took out a gold token and raised it in front of Ma Yong.

The token has a nine-dragon outline with intricate carvings, and the four words "Zhenwu Shangyu" are written in the middle.

Zhenwu is the reign title of Zhu Jiuqin, the great ancestor of the Xia Dynasty, and the word "Shangyu" means an edict, an instruction from the emperor. Those who hold this token are the imperial envoys sent by the emperor himself!

Of course, Zhu Minben changed his reign title to Shangwen after he ascended the throne, so the imperial minister in front of him came here following the order of the deceased Emperor Taizu?

No, this guy is a cat! She is not a human!

...But this token is indeed real. Just seeing this carving skill, I know that this token cannot be fake.

Oops, seeing the token is like the emperor coming in person, I should kneel down and worship!

Ma Yong was about to kneel down when the woman spoke.

"No need to kneel down, just take a step to speak." Lu Zhuyu winked at Ma Yong and walked into the woods outside the village.

"My lord has come all the way here, what are your instructions to me?" Ma Yong asked respectfully.

On the way over, Ma Yong had already thought about it. Although the other party had transformed from a cat into a human, it did not mean that she was a demon. Seeing that this woman had an extraordinary bearing and nobility between her brows, the cat could transform into a human.

It is the magical power of monks, not the magic of monsters.

This imperial envoy should be an immortal cultivator like Lu Fan.

Thinking of this, Ma Yong felt a little depressed, thinking that since Emperor Taizu knew about the existence of immortal cultivators and even issued imperial decrees to immortal cultivators, he must also know that there are demons in this world.

Since Emperor Taizu knew that there were immortals and demons in this world, why did he tell the world and get rid of superstition?

Lu Zhuyu: "You can't tell anyone what I told you."

"This is natural. I still understand this."

"That person you met before, what was his name?"

"My lord, are you talking about Lu Fan? He claims to be a cultivator of immortality, and he came here to find a banished immortal."

"Exiled Immortal? What is the name of the Exiled Immortal?"

"Uh...Su Lin." Ma Yong hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth.

Lu Zhuyu nodded as if he suddenly realized: "It turns out to be him."

She pondered for a while and then said bluntly: "Ma Captou, I don't want you to do much. You have to find a way tonight. When the monk is resting at night, call everyone in Huaiyang Village out of the village and go to the next door.

We will take a break in the village for a while and come back tomorrow at noon."

"This is easy to handle!"

"No, it's actually not easy to handle. You can't mention me to anyone. You can't make the villagers suspicious, and you can't let the demon named Lu Fan observe. You have to think of a good reason yourself.

This matter must be completed before the third update, otherwise the people in Huaiyang Village may be affected." Lu Zhuyu said.

Cold sweat ran down Ma Yong's forehead, and he suddenly felt that this task was almost impossible to complete.

It is difficult to mobilize the whole village without alarming Lu Fan, not to mention that he cannot mention the imperial envoy, so what reason should he use?

Ma Yong pursed his lips tightly, thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, I can't do this, but I can let Lu Fan leave Huaiyang Village alone! Go to the place designated by you, sir. Is this possible?

"

Lu Zhuyu frowned and asked in confusion: "How do you let him leave Huaiyang Village alone?"

"He has been looking for Su Lin, but Su Lin has not returned. I can use this reason to lure him out of the village."

Lu Zhuyu nodded slightly: "This is better. When I am ready, I will appear in front of you in the form of the black cat just now. Then you can ask him to go to the cave ten miles south of the village to find Su Lin.

After Lu Fan leaves, you can take the villagers away and walk towards Pingshan City. When passing by Xiqiu Village, remember to put on all the people in Xiqiu Village."

After speaking, Lu Zhuyu took out an official seal and a piece of paper from the pouch at his waist, and tapped it on the paper.

"It's up to you how you write the paperwork. Anyway, all the people in the two villages must leave the village.

After that, you take them to Pingshan City. After encountering a ghost breaking a wall, you sprinkle the medicinal powder I gave you into a tank of water, and everyone takes it orally, and then they will fall asleep.

After you wake up, you will arrive at Pingshan City."

After Lu Zhuyu said this, he took out the celadon medicine bottle and handed it to Ma Yong, reminding him: "Don't make a mistake in this step."

"I understand!" Ma Yong nodded vigorously in agreement.
Chapter completed!
