Henry Zhang and Zhou Hao are both only twenty years old. If they had been training for a few years, they might have thought twice before doing something. Instead of being like this now, when they hear someone doing evil, they will look like a king with angry eyes.<
/p>
But it’s precisely because there are many people like them in the world that makes Kyushu less boring, right?
Not long after the two of them entered the village, two more figures appeared on the way to Jingping Village.
"Brother Ning, Jingping Village is ahead." Wang Yan shouted crisply on the green horse.
Jiang Ning pulled the reins of the horse, slowed down and stopped.
He squinted and looked ahead, and sure enough, there was a large locust tree at the edge of his vision, with more than a dozen black figures hanging on the tree. They must have been the guards sent by the county government in charge of the village to investigate the murder.
Wang Yan, who was following, saw the scene ahead and couldn't help but shrink her head, controlling her horse to retreat behind Jiang Ning.
"Ning...Brother Ning, I'm a little scared." She stuttered.
Even though that big locust tree is so far away, you can feel a chill in your heart.
Jiang Ning didn't listen to her words and stared at the big locust tree.
After a long time, he asked aloud: "Do you still remember your test questions?"
Wang Yan didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but she still replied obediently: "Go to Jingping Village and stay for seven days."
Jiang Ning asked again as if to confirm, and after receiving a positive reply, and no omissions were left out, he frowned and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Old guy, you are really cruel, and you are not afraid that the students you train will die outside.
It’s clean.”
"Brother Ning, what did you say?"
"Nothing, let's go."
After saying that, Jiang Ning clamped his horse's belly and headed towards the big locust tree.
Wang Yan was scared, but she could only bite the bullet and follow.
After all, this is her exam, not Jiang Ning’s!
Soon, the two came to the big locust tree.
Before it was even close, a putrid smell hit her face. Wang Yan couldn't hold it back for the first time, retching a few times, revealing her pale face, with fear in her eyes.
Jiang Ning also wanted to vomit, but was not very afraid.
To have a ferocious corpse as a brother, and to have seen the red-clothed goddess and the little devil head carved in pink and jade, his current courage is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Holding back the turmoil in his stomach, he frowned and said, "Go around."
I don’t know if there will be any changes in the things on this big locust tree, but there is no harm in avoiding it.
Wang Yan longed to stay away, so she pulled the reins of her horse and stayed away.
No one noticed that after they passed the big locust tree, more than a dozen faces on the tree showed smiles with exactly the same curvature of their mouths.
Further ahead is Jingping Village.
The village is not small, surrounded by mountains on two sides. There is a wild lake between the village and the mountains, which supports about a hundred people in the village.
Jiang Ning looked around and saw that the village was full of earthen walls and tile roofs, with a few thatched houses mixed in, and some were still emitting smoke.
As soon as he entered the village, he saw a large cylindrical well that could only be surrounded by seven or eight strong men holding hands. It was surrounded by a layer of green moss. There was also an old man with white hair sitting next to the windlass wearing shabby patched clothes. p>
He was looking in his direction and smirking.
Wang Yan felt hairy all over because of the old man's gaze, and she wished she could just jump on Jiang Ning's horse and sit on it.
Jiang Ning dismounted and walked towards the old man.
"Uncle, do you know where there is a place to stay in the village?" he asked.
The old man in patchwork clothes is still smiling stupidly.
Wang Yan looked at it and said uncertainly: "Could he be the village chief who was scared crazy?"
Jiang Ning's heart was awe-inspiring, and she kept a distance from the old man without moving her body.
He was thinking about this on the way, why were all the county guards killed, but the old man could run back to the village unharmed?
"I can't guarantee that this old man isn't weird!"
He continued to smile and said: "Uncle, you are the village chief of Jingping Village, right? We are students from Qingling College in the suburbs, and we have come to help your village slay demons."
While speaking, he kept staring at the old man's eyes, not missing the slightest change.
Jiang Ning believes that the assessment has officially begun since the two of them entered the village. Now, he and Wang Yan are like grasshoppers tied to a rope. If they don't work hard, both of them may end up here. p>
He deliberately mentioned his identity just to test!
If this person is pretending to be crazy, no matter whether it is with good intentions or malicious intentions, there will always be some subtle changes in his expression, but unfortunately, the old man always has that silly smile.
Jiang Ning sighed.
It would be best if he responded to the test, and no response was expected. If he could figure out the doubts in the village on the first day, the old guy in the courtyard wouldn't have given him seven days to come.
In the distance, a muscular man in his thirties quickly walked over and stood between Jiang Ning and the old man. He looked at the two of them with wary eyes and shouted sternly: "You guys are just bastards. What are you doing in the village?"
!"
Jiang Ning was also wary of the man who suddenly appeared, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "If you are on your way, come to the village to replenish some food rations."
The man looked him up and down, frowned and said: "You're kidding me, didn't you see what's on the old locust tree at the entrance of the village? I believe you, get out of here!"
There are still more than a dozen skinless people hanging on the big locust tree at the end of the village. Who dares to come in after seeing them?
Wang Yan, who was worried about being kicked out of the village, became anxious and said: "We are cultivators from Qingling Academy, and we are here to help you get rid of the evil."
If she was kicked out as soon as she came in, she would be considered to have failed the exam this ten days, and she would be punished to have to go to the handyman's pavilion to wash smelly clothes.
Rather than that, it's better to stay here and maybe get away with it.
Jiang Ning sighed and could only nod helplessly.
Before he found out the identity of the middle-aged man, he didn't want to cause trouble, and Wang Yan was shocked. However, it was good. With this identity, I believe the information he got would be much more comprehensive than what he heard from hearsay.
The middle-aged man is suspicious.
The two people in front of me look young. Could they be the legendary gods who can control wind and rain?
Jiang Ning didn't waste any time. He pointed at the cuffs of the girl in green clothes behind him and said, "You should know the student uniforms of Qingling College, right?"
Jingping Village was established nearly a hundred years ago, and during this period there were also students recommended to Qingling College.
Every time those students come back, they will put on Qingling student uniforms and go shopping in various schools. The middle-aged man was lucky enough to see them once when he was a child, and he was extremely impressed.
Hearing this, he stepped forward to identify them, and the man hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two of them.
"It's a student uniform, that's right. The two immortals are finally here. You must save our village. People in our village are now in panic. We can't sleep peacefully at night, for fear that the evil ghost will appear in the room and kill people!"
”
In the eyes of ordinary people, those who can come out of Qingling Academy are all people with great abilities and are living gods walking in the world.
What kind of legends are there about flying over eaves and walking over walls, calling for wind and rain, and turning stones into gold? Which one is not a legend left by these immortals?
When she heard that the evil ghost would appear in the room, Wang Yan's little face almost burst into tears.
Even if wild beasts attack the village and there are cultivators who cause trouble, she is not afraid, but she is afraid of those evil creatures that come out of the restricted area of life.
Coming and going invisible, killing people without a trace, the end is terrifying!
Seeing her like this, Jiang Ning didn't tease her.
He said to the man on the ground: "Get up and find us a place to stay."
"Hey, that's great!" The middle-aged man stood up and patted the dirt on his linen trousers, and cautiously said, "If you two immortals don't mind it, why don't you come and live in my house? It's a big house and there's a place to sleep."
"Lead the way." Jiang Ning said.
Unknowingly, the two people who participated in the mid-term exam had vague signs of Jiang Ning taking the lead, but no one noticed this for the time being.
The man received the affirmation, showed a silly smile, and said to the old man behind him: "Old man, go back to eat quickly, there are distinguished guests, and the pig will be killed tonight."
The giggling old man smiled even more happily when he heard this.
