Di Lao felt aggrieved like a child weighing tens of thousands of pounds. After turning into a human form, he followed Zhang Cundao and kept talking, as if he wanted to say everything he had said in the past few months at once.
He has always been a talkative monster...
The two of them held the guide and walked through the fog for who knows how long. Suddenly, their eyes lit up, and a quiet small village appeared in front of them.
Ten miles of peach blossoms are scorching, carried by the breeze, and a faint fragrance hits. The winding path passes through a large peach forest and leads to a quiet small village.
This is the blessed land of Qingzhuang. The blessed land is not big, so it is also called Xiaoqingzhuang.
There are countless small places like this in the misty world. Without guideposts, you can only rely on luck to encounter such a blessed place.
Zhang Cundao's arrival quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. They looked at Zhang Cundao warily, and Zhang Cundao took out his guide and said, "I am a monk who has received a mission. I want to see the village chief!"
As soon as his voice fell, the villagers who were looking at him with caution immediately changed. Some people looked at him with happy faces, as if they had ushered in a savior, while some people looked at Zhang Cundao with disgust, as if
Want to 'kill' him.
The two groups of people were clearly distinguished. One group came to welcome Zhang Cundao, while the other group left here one after another.
What makes Zhang Cundao find it interesting is that those who come towards him are all men. Those who avoid him are all women!
A group of old and young men surrounded Zhang Cundao, and someone said, "Are you the monk who came to kill the goblins? I will take you to see the village chief right now!"
Zhang Cundao nodded, and then with the support of this group of people, he came to a big house in the village. In the big house, Zhang Cundao met the village chief.
After confirming his identity, he was the one waiting. The village chief happily left Zhang Cundao behind and then arranged meals.
Zhang Cundao didn't be too polite and asked directly: "The mission said that there is a red leaf demon causing trouble in the village. I don't know what the specific situation is?"
The village chief sighed and said, "He lives in the peach forest in the village. Just go and have a look." After saying this, he seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end he did not speak.
It seems that the village chief also has reservations.
But strangely enough, the blessed land that is usually plagued by monsters has never been so peaceful and peaceful! Most monsters are murderous and chaotic, and will attack humans recklessly and wreak havoc on human settlements.
Xiaoqingzhuang seems to be very safe, at least no one here is panicking.
This is where it gets weird!
While Zhang Cundao was talking to the village chief, Di Lao was chatting with the villagers outside. He has always been a social nerd, thick-skinned, talkative, and loves to chat. Even a mute can chat with him like "Aba Aba"
one day.
After chatting with the village chief, a group of men crowded in and asked anxiously: "Master monk, when will you go and deal with the goblin!"
Seeing how anxious they were, Zhang Cundao immediately said: "This... at least we have to finish eating before we talk..."
As soon as these men heard this, some of them immediately yelled: "Why hasn't the monk's meal been served yet? Is the woman cooking the meal stalling for time?"
When several men heard this, they immediately said indignantly: "How can this be done? Those girls will cause trouble, let's go cook for the adults!" After saying that, they ran away in a hurry.
When Zhang Cundao saw this scene, he became even more curious, so he asked: "Is this goblin dangerous? But I don't think you were hurt at all!"
As soon as he said these words, these men became very excited. They said in confusion: "Sir, you don't know, this goblin, he...he is harmful to people!"
There are no fairies who do not harm people. Zhang Cundao nodded and continued to listen.
"He...he seduced our wives!" these men said aggrievedly.
"???" Zhang Cundao was obviously stunned. What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this? Do fairies also play this?
Now that the words have been spoken, the men wiped away the tears in their eyes and continued: "This goblin doesn't kill people, but he kills people! He likes to write some poems and tell our wives about 'love' most.
Listen, those who are obsessed with our daughter-in-law don’t care about us at all!”
At this point, the men gritted their teeth angrily. Zhang Cundao was also dumbfounded.
"There is such a thing!" Zhang Cundao said in disbelief. He thought it was an 'act of force', but he did not expect it to be an 'emotional dispute'!
"This goblin doesn't do random killings? Does he just seduce your wives?" Zhang Cundao confirmed again.
The men sighed and nodded helplessly.
Zhang Cundao swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.
Not long after, several men brought food, and Di Lao also came to eat. Zhang Cundao was not used to a large group of people watching him eat, so he said, "You guys go back first. After I finish eating, I will go meet the goblin."
After everyone heard this, they had no choice but to disperse and go home. Only Zhang Cundao was left in the room.
While Zhang Cundao was eating, he asked Di Lao: "Have you gained anything in the village?"
Di Lao took two mouthfuls of rice, nodded and said, "Yes. A lot." After saying that, he took out a thick stack of paper from his pocket.
"What is this?" Zhang Cundao said in surprise, then took it and looked at it.
"The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away in darkness. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they win over countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and you can't bear to look at the Magpie Bridge on your way back. If the love between two people lasts for a long time, and
How come it's morning and evening?"
Zhang Cundao read the content on the paper softly, thought about it for a moment, and suddenly said: "This is a love poem! Where did you get it?"
He turned over the paper in his hand and said in surprise: "Are these love poems?"
Di Lao nodded and said: "These were given to me by the women in the village. They said that this red leaf demon is a good person, not a bad person. So they showed me these things and said that anyone who can write such poems,
How can he be a bad person! So they begged me to let us let the Red Leaf Demon go."
Di Lao said nonchalantly, he was a goblin who had no interest in love poetry, could not appreciate the beauty of poetry, and did not know why those women's eyes were shining when they mentioned these poems...
"So, these are the poems written by the red leaf demon to the villagers?" Zhang Cundao still couldn't believe it. Is there really such a demon in this world?
Thinking this way, the curiosity in my heart became more and more intense.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Cundao walked towards the peach forest outside the village amid the eager anticipation of the men. As soon as he reached the entrance of the village, a large group of women gathered. They glared at Zhang Cundao and blocked Zhang Cundao's path.
"Hongye is a good person, you can't hurt him!" A woman said loudly.
Zhang Cundao nodded, and suddenly a long clear sword energy split through the crowd, splitting a five or six foot long hole in the ground. The sword energy passed by the women, causing them to break into cold sweats.
"Whether he is a good person or not, I will judge for myself. Ladies and sisters, you can go back." Zhang Cundao said calmly.
