The roaming roars echoed continuously in the silent mountain village, rumbling like rolling thunder from the sky.
The malicious gaze hidden in the cold water mist seemed to be frightened by the sound, and there was no movement for a while.
However, Zhou You didn't have this patience, and with fighting spirit surging in his heart, he raised his sword and charged directly into the thick mist, hoping to find out the strange thing directly.
The cold and eerie water mist hit Zhou You, and the blazing Nine Yang inner energy evaporated directly, turning into billowing white smoke, making a hissing sound.
At this time, something unexpected happened to Zhou You.
The thick mist began to subside.
It disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.
"Depend on!"
Zhou You had accumulated strength, but had nowhere to vent it, so he punched the house next to him in frustration.
Boom!
The house could not withstand this terrible force and collapsed directly.
He could feel that the gloomy atmosphere that shrouded the village had quietly disappeared, and the surrounding environment was not as depressing as before, indicating that Wei Wei had completely given up on hunting his group.
"Let's go!"
Zhou You calmed down and said to Magistrate Ma and others.
In his heart, he really wanted to have a fight with this weird man, but his mission was urgent, so he had better send the county magistrate to Huai County first.
"The Great Ape Demon Fist was full of passion for fighting, but it was not vented. He felt very uncomfortable and started to strike."
The system poured cold water on him again.
But there is nothing you can do about traveling around.
The weirdness hidden in the mist is not weaker than himself.
Putting aside whether he could find the hidden secret, it was difficult to worry about Magistrate Ma's life or death during the battle.
For this reason, Zhou You could only suppress the fighting spirit in his heart.
The horses they rode on had mysteriously disappeared a long time ago, and I don’t know if they were eaten by Weirdness.
But no one paid much attention to these little things. The group just wanted to leave this scary little village as soon as possible.
This time, they finally walked out of this weird village smoothly without circling in circles, and returned to the dark mountain road.
The mountain road was washed out by heavy rains and became muddy, but everyone was overjoyed.
"Are we saved?" Magistrate Ma seemed a little unbelievable.
"It should be fine!!!" Master Tang also let out a long sigh of relief, and collapsed directly to the ground regardless of the muddy water on the ground.
Thinking back on the experience just now, it almost scared him of his heart disease.
The rich lady burst into tears, and Huang Yun kept comforting her beside her.
Tonight's experience in this small mountain village should be the most exciting night in their lives.
If they hadn't met Zhou You, a fierce man who could scare away the strange people alive, everyone knew that their fate would not be much better than Li Fu.
"Thank you, young hero, for the rescue."
After Huang Yun comforted the good lady, he quickly expressed his gratitude to Zhou You.
Others also reacted and expressed their gratitude for the life-saving grace.
"My lord, I am the magistrate of Huai County. If you encounter any trouble in Huai County in the future, just come and see me!"
After being out of danger, Magistrate Ma returned to his former glory and spoke with confidence.
"I think... we will meet again." Zhou You smiled.
Huang Yun also bowed his hands and said, "I am also a member of the Huang family in Huai County. Please give me your instructions if the young hero needs to use it in the future."
Zhou You nodded: "Let's go, it's still some distance from Huai County."
This place was originally not far from Huai County, but the mountain road was too bad, so the group only walked out of the mountains at dawn.
After walking for about two hours, we finally arrived at Huai County.
Except for Zhou You, who had long energy and amazing physical strength, everyone looked pale and their feet were shaking.
Magistrate Ma revealed his identity to the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
The officers and soldiers looked at the fat man in front of them with green eyes, messy hair, and mud all over his body, with deep doubts flashing in their eyes.
Even the beggars in the county are not so embarrassed...
Is this really the new county magistrate?
"Quick... hurry up and get me something to eat!!" Magistrate Ma, who was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to stand, collapsed directly under the city wall and said extremely weakly.
Master Tang is also like this.
The other guards were a little better. They had practiced kung fu for several years, but they were still very tired.
The talented Huang Yun was not much better, he was so tired that he leaned against the city wall.
The officers and soldiers glanced at the official document in their hands, and after double-checking that it was correct, they dubiously asked for food.
If the newly appointed county magistrate starved to death on the city wall, the joke would be a big one.
Soon, several baskets of steaming large meat buns were delivered.
Everyone ignored the image and started gobbling it up.
Magistrate Ma was exaggerating. He had a big meat bun in each hand, and he didn't want to burn it, so he took one bite.
Within a few minutes, several cages of meat buns were swept away.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city were full of dark clues. This man was really the newly appointed county magistrate. He looked like the reincarnation of an evil spirit.
"Quick, bring me some more meat buns." After Magistrate Ma ate a few big meat buns, he finally regained some strength and returned to his previous official tone.
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they realized that this person was really the newly appointed county magistrate, and they quickly called for help.
"By the way, where is the hero?"
Magistrate Ma looked around, but found no trace of Zhou You.
"I just saw that he seemed to have entered the city by himself..." Master Tang said.
"When it's over, I brushed off my clothes and went away. Hiding my merits and fame, I am worthy of being a hero!" Magistrate Ma said with admiration.
Master Tang shook his head speechlessly.
Recalling the scene where Zhou Yun crushed Li Fu's head alive last night, she must have nothing to do with being a hero.
...
Zhou You walked alone on the streets of Huai County.
This Sophora County is named because the local area is rich in Sophora japonica trees.
This locust tree is a yin wood. People of the Dayin Dynasty like to use yin wood to make coffins, hoping that their deceased relatives can use the coffins made of locust wood to cross the underworld and be reincarnated smoothly.
Of course, due to certain taboos, people in Huai County do not make coffins. They only open woodyards to sell locust wood.
Even so, the people of Huai County live a good life.
However, while traveling around, I found that there were very few people on the streets of Huai County.
You know, it's noon now, not the middle of the night, but the streets are deserted, the shops on the streets are closed, and even the passers-by look nervous, as if they are afraid of something.
panic....
When traveling around, you can feel an atmosphere of panic hanging over this county.
"It seems that the death of former county magistrate Zeng Feng... really had a big impact." Zhou You said to himself.
Both his parents and officials died in mysterious circumstances, so it is no wonder that these people are so afraid.
"I haven't eaten anything for most of the day. I feel very unhappy and started practicing on strike."
Listening to the voice in his head, Zhou You smiled bitterly and had no choice but to find a restaurant to eat first.
