Watanabe Yuki was speechless, while several villagers standing behind him couldn't help but blush and lowered their heads.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.
At this time, the sky had darkened, and it was actually difficult for human eyes to see things clearly in the mountains and forests with poor light. However, it had no effect on Qiao Xi and the others, so Yuki Watanabe was not aware of the situation.
Next, the expressions on the faces of those humans who looked a little ashamed fell into the eyes of several non-human beings.
Seeing this, Qiao Xi smiled softly:
"Well, whether it's true or not, we'll find out after we go to the shrine together."
Watanabe Yuki was a little surprised as to why the villagers behind him suddenly became quiet, but he lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that no matter what, as long as he went over and took a look, he would know whether what this evil ghost said was true or false.
So he nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. You can tell if it is true or false by just going over and taking a look."
Watanabe Yuki said and hesitated for a moment.
It is already dark now, and most monsters are very active at night, so it is common knowledge that the mountains and forests are very dangerous at night.
——But he was a little worried if he let these people go back by themselves. If something happened along the way, it would be too late for him to cry.
Qiao Xi saw the hesitation on his face clearly, but said nothing. After a while, Yuki Watanabe gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Tanaka, this Onmyoji master and I went to the shrine to inspect. This
The mountains are too dangerous, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Tanaka, who was named by Watanabe Ko, shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are not afraid, we will go with you."
Several other people also echoed that they were not afraid and did not have to worry about themselves and others.
Watanabe Yuki could also imagine the thoughts in the hearts of these ordinary people, and he immediately felt dumbfounded.
He had no intention of letting them go back.
He helplessly continued the unfinished words and said: "I just want to say, why don't you go to the shrine with us."
As he spoke, a comforting smile appeared on his face. Although it was difficult to see clearly in the night, everyone could still hear a little comfort in his gentle tone.
"Since you are not afraid, then let's go."
The villagers subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief, then realized that they and others had misunderstood, and they all laughed dryly.
Qiao Xi watched coldly. Seeing that they had made their decision, she glanced at Tian Xie Gui, raised her chin and said, "Then let's go, lead the way."
Although Tian Xie Gui was enslaved, it was not angry at all. Instead, it responded happily and diligently held up a group of green will-o'-the-wisps from its hands, illuminating the surrounding area.
It is still thinking in its mind that in the future it can tell others that it is also a monster that can help Lord Fengyue God. Wouldn't it be flattering?
And the will-o'-the-wisps it lights, although its original purpose is to illuminate, but it has to be said that in this kind of mountain forest at night, the night wind makes the leaves rustle, and occasionally there are unknown animal sounds.
Then looking at the shadowy group of flames floating in the air, exuding a bright green light, the villagers felt terrified.
Although they were really scared, they didn't dare to say anything, so they followed Yuki Watanabe cautiously, getting closer and closer.
Watanabe Yuki was very helpless and pushed the people on both sides who were so crowded that he could hardly walk. He wanted to say something, but finally thought about it but didn't say anything.
——He also saw that these villagers were really scared to death. It was already very difficult to keep up with them. He couldn't force these ordinary people to be calm.
After all, he himself actually felt a little guilty.
Watanabe Yuki comforted himself in his heart, and then followed Qiao Xi attentively, one step at a time.
About half an hour later, the abandoned shrine that Tian Xie Gui had mentioned had arrived.
It stood at the door, grinned at Qiao Xi and said, "Sir, this is it. There are six human children inside."
Qiao Xi glanced at it, raised her eyebrows subtly, and said, "Are you sure?"
Tian Xiegui nodded and pushed the door open, bringing Qiao Xi and others in. Then, looking at the messy straw on the ground in front of him, his eyes widened in shock and he began to be in a daze.
This shrine is very shabby inside, and I don’t know which god it was used to worship. Anyway, there is nothing inside now. There are only some scattered straws on the ground, but there is a human arm lit on the table inside.
Such thick candles illuminate the shrine a lot, and it does look like there are traces of someone's life there.
Qiao Xi didn't look surprised at all.
In fact, he discovered it as soon as he walked to the door. Although the aura in this shrine was mottled and complicated, with three or two human auras mixed in the messy demonic aura, he was still sure that there was not a single human in it.
No.
Tian Xie Gui was in a daze for a while. A villager hiding behind Yuki Watanabe mustered up the courage to ask: "Where is the child you are talking about? There is obviously no one here!"
"Onmyoji-sama! It just wants to trick us into coming here to eat us. Quickly kill it... Ah!!!!"
Before the villager could finish his sentence, he couldn't help but scream in pain. A hatchet struck his back from behind, and a strong smell of blood emitted in an instant.
He turned around in shock, only to find that the person who slashed him was actually his companion.
Watanabe Yukiya followed him in astonishment, his expression frightened and frightened.
The five or six villagers standing behind him, except for those who had been slashed once, were all in a daze. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to react, but subconsciously looked at the evil ghost with a twisted expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, the evil ghost looked more surprised than him, and explained to Qiao Xi with a sad face and howling like a wolf.
"My lord, it's not me! It's really not me! I don't know! It's really my lord..."
That day the evil ghost looked so frightened that he wished he could swear to heaven to prove his innocence.
Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes, listening to Tian Xie Gui making a headache in her ears, and shouted coldly: "Shut up!"
While he was speaking, he was already holding Watanabe Yuki's collar with one hand and Yingcao with the other. At the same time, he raised his foot and kicked Tian Xie Gui out of the door. He followed him out, and then stood at the door and looked at the five people inside with an unclear expression.
Six humans kill each other.
He thought for a while, and when he was about to turn around and say something to Watanabe Yuki, he saw Watanabe Yuki with his eyes open in a daze, with no light at all in his pupils.
Qiao Xi made a "tsk" sound in her mouth, knocked him out with a sharp slap, and then put him on the ground to study.
