Chen Lu was very happy that there were finally local people who could understand it, and asked: "We are very surprised, why has this place become an empty village?"

The bearded man replied: "You can ask this question at night, but it seems unnecessary to ask it now. I think you should have the answer." This was considered a slap in the face.

Chen Lu was startled, then smiled, nodded and said, "That makes sense, you must know what the evil spirit is."

The bearded man said: "We all know that, but we just don't dare to compete with them, so we called the mage. The mage has just looked at you for a while and said that you are using brute force."

Chen Lu heard that he was right, so he turned his face to the mage. The mage bowed and said in the Western language: "I'm telling you, but you can't say I'm talking nonsense."

Mantai scolded: "Where does all this nonsense come from? Speak quickly!"

The Master said: "This is the food ghost, also called the food monster. It lies down at night and comes out by day."

Nalan's eyes widened and he said, "Can food also become spirit?"

The Master said: "This is unique to the Western Regions. They absorb the aura of the universe, absorb the essence of the ten directions, practice day and night, and cultivate immortality, spending time everywhere."

Chen Lu nodded and said, "You made it clear enough, do they also eat people?"

The Master said: "Over the years, I have dealt with them a lot, and I have never seen them eat people. This year's batch is very strange. These are wheat ghosts. They came just after the barley was filled, and they destroyed several people in this village.

After arresting individual people and sucking their blood and eating their flesh, all the people in Shiqiao Village ran away. If something happened, I would go home to get it at night, but I don’t dare to go back at night these days."

Nalan said: "Why don't you go to the government?"

The bearded man said: "We found the Li Qiu Office. The Li Qiu officer led the soldiers from the Qianhu Office and surrounded the wheat field. The bare area above was where the officers and soldiers did it. They poured water and oil on the barley and put a

The fire was set. But before the officers and soldiers could retreat, there were bursts of screams. The officers and soldiers lost more than 40 people. There were no survivors but no corpses..."

"ah?"

It was Han Liu'er. Chen Lu saw his eyes staring with terror, slapped him hard with his hand, and then said to the mage: "It's okay, go on."

The mage looked at Han Liu'er with a look of disdain, and then said: "It was the mage and the patriarch they brought who worked together to rescue Li Wenguan and Mr. Qian. They said they had written a letter to Prince Muhe.

There is no further explanation now. We are from a neighboring village, so we started to make trouble unexpectedly, so we had to find the Master."

Chen Lu said: 'So the Master has a way to kill them?'

The Master shook his head and said: "Those in our profession cannot kill evil spirits casually, we can only drive them away. The barley here will be harvested very quickly. If we drive them away and harvest the barley, we will have peace this year. We will tell you next year."

, I have to take one step at a time and say it one step at a time.”

Chen Lu nodded and said, "In that case, I will go with you to see the excitement."

Long Gang was also standing nearby and listening. Chen Lu said to him: "I will go with them to see it. You must protect the camp. No matter which direction the enemy comes from, they will kill them without mercy. Nalan, be especially careful."

Underfoot."

After saying that, he, together with the bearded man and others, surrounded the mage and left the official road and walked towards the entrance of the village. There were already seven or eight people waiting there holding a white horse.

When everyone came to the wheat field, several villagers had cleared an open space as a Buddhist altar. Chen Lu noticed that there were talismans and seals everywhere here. The magician must be afraid that these people would be kidnapped.

The mage came on stage, took out the apricot-yellow flag from his briefcase, and waved it left and right. Chen Lu saw a trace of mist on his head, and two men in golden armor were vaguely visible in the mist. Chen Lu secretly admired this man.

The mage does indeed have some skills, he is not a quack magician who just cheats people out of food and drink, nor is he someone who deceives the world and steals his reputation.

The mage wanted to protect himself first, then took out his sword, and like the leader, breathed fire to burn the talisman and seal, stepped on the steps, twisted the sword with his hand, muttered something in his mouth, and suddenly shouted: "Kill the horse to sacrifice to heaven."

"

Someone was already waiting there, and they cut off the horse's head with a knife. The horse screamed, and two people put the bloody horse's head on the sacrificial table. The mage took out a small whip in his hand, chanted a spell, and flicked the whip three times in a row.

There was a snapping sound, which seemed to come from the whip, more like it came from the distant sky, mixed with the faint sound of wind and rain.

The mage's mouth opened and closed, and he suddenly shouted: "I order you to return to your house quickly." After the shout, there was another whip, and the whip in his hand was suddenly replaced by a sword.

Chen Lu felt that there was something wrong with his eyes, and he did not see how his whip was replaced by a sword. Chen Lu felt that his eyes had never left his whip.

At this time, pieces of light dark cloud-like black air gathered little by little in the sky, and finally gathered into a large dark cloud. Suddenly there was a thunder, a strong wind blew, and people heard the mage shouting "No, no," and after a flash of fire,

The mage has disappeared, along with the horse head and body.

The villagers were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy. Chen Lu shouted: "Don't kowtow too fast, go to the mission camp quickly." Only then did these people wake up, get up and stagger towards the camp.

camp.

Chen Lu no longer hesitated, kicked out the eighth level of Tianbu with his left foot, and chased after him. He came to a place, which seemed to be a small village. The shape and architecture of Shiqiao Village were very similar. In a square

In front of the courtyard, there was a large courtyard. Chen Lu felt particularly like the military camp in Kaner City.

Chen Lu did not dare to land, so he hung in the air and looked towards the courtyard. There were soldiers guarding the entrance of the courtyard, and there were people walking around in the courtyard. He saw several tall soldiers patrolling back and forth. Chen Lu discovered a problem, that is, this gate was very

In particular, no matter which direction or angle you look at, it looks like a huge ear of wheat.

Chen Lu made up his mind that once he traced their lair, he would never let go of these weirdos. These beasts not only eat people, but also specialize in controlling food. The people have worked hard for a year, but they dare not come to harvest in their own fields. It is natural law.

Where?

He wanted to fall down in the courtyard, and countless rays of golden light flew towards him. There were bursts of drums and horns, and groups of soldiers of different heights rushed over, including soldiers from the mission, led by Yao Bao.

Chen Lu checked and found that six were missing, but the rest were there. He was somewhat relieved. At this time, he had no choice but to retreat outside the courtyard and land, and was soon surrounded by groups of soldiers.

Chen Lu said: "Yao Bao, lead your troops and retreat." Yao Bao was stunned for a moment, glanced at his subordinates, and looked at Chen Lu doubtfully. Chen Lu guessed that they had lost their true nature, but fortunately they still knew who he was.

His name is Yao Bao.

So he shouted again: "Yao Bao, didn't you hear what my old man said?" Yao Bao shook his head.

Chen Lu could no longer take care of them at this time and launched an attack on the tall soldiers first. He guessed that these guys were probably the giant monsters. He immediately shot out the third level of Tianbu with his left hand, shooting out a yellow light and scattering countless golden lights towards them.

These giant monsters shot away, and there was a burst of screams. These people seemed to be blown up by a strong wind, flew out of the air, and fell heavily to the ground, dying.
