Looking at the knife slave walking towards the lake, Jiang Ning held his chin with one hand and said calmly: "No matter what your name was before or who you belonged to, from now on, your master is only me, and I will give you a new one."
Name, Sword Demon!"
The sword ghost whose name was changed stopped.
After two breaths, he trotted forward two steps, used the force to jump, fell into the lake and disappeared.
"On this trip to Jingping Village, I didn't expect that by some strange combination of circumstances, I would end up with a Foundation Establishment-level Ji Ram. This way, I don't have to be so cautious when traveling to the village."
The lingering sound dissipated, and the lakeside became calm again.
Only the young man with his hands covering his arms limped and disappeared at the foot of Xiaolong Mountain.
The injured Jiang Ning returned to a stone cave in Xiaolong Mountain, which was dug by Zhou Hao as a hiding place to avoid evil spirits in the village.
The cave is not big, and there is felt grass at the entrance to cover it.
At this time, it was still dark, and Zhou Hao had not come back. Jiang Ning leaned against the stone wall and sat down. He turned over the dead wood branches next to the fire in front of him to raise some heat and warm his body.
From the bottom of the lake to now, he is wearing wet clothes, no different from being wrapped in ice.
The embers of the bonfire slowly raised the temperature in the cave, and Jiang Ning's trembling body finally restrained himself from trembling.
"When daybreak comes, it will be the fourth day. We should be able to close the line tonight. It will be two days earlier than expected."
He looked at the sky outside through the gap in the felt and sighed.
Not far from him, Henry Zhang was still wrapped in a shabby quilt that Zhou Hao got from somewhere, breathing evenly.
I don’t know how long it took, but a figure squeezed in from outside. Jiang Ning suddenly opened his eyes and heard a familiar voice.
"Brother Ning, you are back. I just have something to tell you."
The person who came in was Zhou Hao.
He had just returned from a night patrol in accordance with Jiang Ning's request.
Jiang Ning hummed and asked in a slightly weak tone: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Hao heard that his tone was wrong and asked doubtfully: "Brother Ning, what did you do last night? You sound so weak. Why is your shoulder injured? Did you also bump into the evil ghost in the village last night?
Right?"
Seeing Jiang Ning's weak tone, Zhou Hao took two steps forward to check the fruit he had received, and found that Jiang Ning, who was leaning against the stone wall, was in a miserable state.
Strands of his hair were stuck to his face, and there was a hideous wound on his left shoulder armor. The flesh and blood were turned out, and the white bones inside were vaguely visible.
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Ning waved his hand and said with a bitter smile: "What I encountered last night was scarier than the evil ghosts in the village. I almost lost my life there. I'd better talk about you first. Tell me what you just wanted to say."
?"
Zhou Hao took out several bottles and cans from his pocket, and while giving him medicine, he said excitedly: "That's what happened last night. You really got it right. Didn't I go to the village as you asked?"
I was on patrol at night, and I encountered that dark shadow wandering around the village."
"You don't know how dangerous the situation was at that time, so I chased him all the way, but I didn't expect that guy to come back to me. If I hadn't been so excited, my head and body would have been separated by now. Thanks
Thanks to Junior Sister Wang Yan, I was able to arrive in time and save me at the critical moment."
Speaking of the latter part, a rare hint of shame appeared on Zhou Hao's face, and even his tone became squeamish as he said: "For this life-saving grace, do you think I should pledge myself to you..."
Jiang Ning stared at him expressionlessly.
"As the most undesirable way to repay a favor, I, Zhou Hao, will definitely not agree to it."
"Can you tell me the important point directly, or I will hang you on the old locust tree at the end of the village tonight." Jiang Ning poured the powder on the wound, enduring the pain and losing his breath.
"Brother Ning, how did you come up with this? Zhou Hao's face fell and he asked.
When they were in the village last night, Jiang Ning waited until he and Wang Yan left before showing up, so Zhou Hao didn't know that Jiang Ning already knew that he had encountered the evil ghost in the village.
When Jiang Ning was guessing the topic proposed by the dean, Jiang Ning was thinking about a question.
The method given by the dean is to find a place to hide in the village for seven days and you can spend it safely. However, Jingping Village is not big. If outsiders come in, they will be very conspicuous. There is still a high risk of being found. How can we not be found?
What?
He thought about it to no avail. It wasn't until Lao Luotou was killed that an extremely absurd idea came to his mind. Although the idea was a bit unbelievable, it was like a seed that took root in Jiang Ning's mind and grew into a
A towering tree with lush branches.
Jiang Ning asked: "Do you remember what I told you? The village chief ran out of the village overnight to seek help from the county magistrate. Not only was he not stopped by the evil spirits, but he successfully brought back the guards. However, when he was at the head of the village, all the guards were gone.
What happened when the village chief returned to the village alive despite being killed?"
Zhou Hao nodded, he had heard about this when he and Henry Zhang were in Dunerzhuang.
"Later, Wang Yan and I came to the village. We were entertained by the village chief Sun Hu and went to his house to rest."
Jiang Ning continued: "During the meal, Lao Luotou was the most angry about the evil spirits in the village. He was the only one who said that after the two of us got rid of the evil spirits, we would go to the mountains to hunt down wild boars as a reward. But that night he
Just die."
Zhou Hao asked with a look of disbelief: "Based on this, you guess that as long as you hide or don't look for the evil ghost, he won't be discovered, or in other words, as long as you don't look for it, it won't appear.
What about in front of yourself?"
"That's right." Jiang Ning shrugged and said irresponsibly: "How else can we explain that the old village chief left the village overnight and was fine, and that the old Luo Tou died."
Seeing Zhou Hao's weird expression, as if he was just watching your nonsense, he coughed twice and added: "Of course, this is just a guess, otherwise I wouldn't have let you go on night patrol in the village last night."<
/p>
In order to verify his guess, Jiang Ning not only did not stop Wang Yan's enthusiasm to continue to eliminate harm to the village, but also let Zhou Hao participate in it. The result was not too disappointing, both Zhou Hao and Wang Yan encountered it!
"If you want to say that, it really seems like that." Zhou Hao nodded as if he understood.
He couldn't think of any other possibilities. Now he just wanted to return to the academy as soon as possible, otherwise he wouldn't agree to help Jiang Ning make this fishing bait.
"Now that we know what it is, what should we do next?"
Zhou Hao seemed to remember something and said: "I saw him fight with Junior Sister Wang Yan last night. His skills were average. If the four of us join forces to kill him, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Although Wang Yan had to exchange injuries for injuries last night and barely managed a draw with the man with the kitchen knife, according to Zhou Hao's guess, if the two of them continued to fight, the possibility of the man with the kitchen knife being beaten to death might be higher. Wang Yan’s cultivation is not bad, and her background is extremely mysterious. She has not yet started to do many of the most difficult tasks!
"I couldn't guarantee it before, but now, the problem is indeed not big." Under Zhou Hao's blank gaze, Jiang Ning showed a malicious smile and whispered in his ear.
.....
Wang Yan, who failed to catch the evil ghost, returned to Sun Hu's house, feeling a little depressed.
With this warning, what if it doesn't come out in the next three days?
When the time for the mid-term exam is over, should you go or not?
"The dean knows that there are evil spirits harming people here, so why doesn't he just send teachers from the courtyard to eliminate the evil? What does he think?" Wang Yan sat at the table, covering her face with her hands, looking puzzled.
