Gu Xueting landed and said, "All of you, stand up. Who can tell me what happened to that monster?"

In the crowd, an old man with a cane walked up to him and bowed, "Thank you so much, Master, otherwise our village would have been burned to ashes."

Gu Xueting hurriedly helped him up: "There's no need to do this, old man. I just happened to be passing by here. It's just a small favor. I really don't deserve it."

The old man held his arm and said, "Master, you are such a good person! I am the village chief of Huaishu Village. Please come to my house to talk about the monster. I will tell you in detail."

"Okay." Gu Xueting glanced at the crowd and followed the old village chief to his home.

The old village chief's home was not affected by the fire. After entering the house, the old village chief asked Gu Xueting to sit on the kang and asked his wife to bring tea.

However, the person who came in was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a light green waist-length skirt, an orchid hairpin in her shiny black hair, and hair oil on her face. A strong scent of gardenia wafted from her.

She put down the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the old village chief and Gu Xueting respectively. As she moved, a section of her snow-white wrist was revealed.

"Master, Immortal Master, Lan'er has withdrawn."

Her tone was tender and she glanced at Gu Xueting shyly before leaving.

Gu Xueting's expression remained indifferent. Having grown up in the palace, he had seen many tricks like this. This woman's methods were really not worth mentioning.

"Master, have some tea, have some tea. This tea was picked by my grandson from the deep mountains. It's so fragrant. I usually don't even want to drink it."

Gu Xueting picked up the teacup, took a sip, and was quite surprised to detect a faint trace of spiritual energy.

"good."

After a while, Na Lan came in again, carrying a tray with three side dishes on it.

"They are all rough creatures. I hope the immortal master will not despise them." said the old village chief.

Gu Xueting said, "Father, please tell me about the monster so that I can get rid of it as soon as possible and prevent the villagers from being frightened again."

The old village chief took out his pipe, took two puffs, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke.

"This matter has to start from three months ago..."

Three months ago, on a full-moon night, a hairy monster broke into the village and dragged away a woman who happened to get up to urinate. The villagers were alarmed and chased after it, but they couldn't catch up. They searched for most of the night, but couldn't find the hairy monster.

As a result, the next day, the villagers found the woman under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

The woman died in such a miserable way, she was hung naked on a tree, her body was covered with bloody scratches, and her lower body was mauled beyond recognition.

After her husband buried the woman, he took the hoe from home and went into the mountains without saying a word, vowing to avenge his wife! But in the end, not only did he fail to avenge her, but he also got himself into trouble. A few days later, his body was found by villagers who went up the mountain to hunt.

On the next full-moon night, the hairy monster appeared again and kidnapped another woman.

The woman also died a tragic death.

The old village chief sighed, and every wrinkle on his face was engraved with sorrow.

"That hairy monster has already raped three women in the village. If it continues like this, our Huaishu Village will probably be extinct."

At this moment, Lan'er suddenly rushed in, threw herself at Gu Xueting's feet, and tried to grab the hem of his clothes.

Gu Xueting flicked his sleeves and Lan'er was thrown away and fell to the ground.

Feeling the coldness coming from him, Lan'er shuddered involuntarily and almost forgot what she was going to say.

She calmed herself down, looked up at him, tears streaming down her face: "Master, please help us. As long as you can get rid of that hairy monster, I will do anything!"

Gu Xueting ignored her and left a message to the old village chief: "Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon. If the hairy monster comes again, I will kill it. You can rest assured, old man."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Lan'er, who was lying on the ground, stood up and was about to speak, but was stopped by a look from the old village chief. She lowered her head and returned to her room.

Gu Xueting's figure suddenly appeared on the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

He took out the photo stone and sent a message to Shen Yizhi: "Zhizhi, I will be delayed for a day, don't worry."

He put the image stone into his arms, sat cross-legged on the tree branch, and began to practice.

What he didn't know was that Shen Yizi hadn't received his message at all.

That night, the photo stone in his arms remained motionless.

In the early morning, as the sun rose, Gu Xueting absorbed the purest spiritual energy between heaven and earth into his dantian, and then opened his eyes.

The first thing he did was to take out the photo stone in his arms, but he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Zhizhi hasn't replied to him yet.

Maybe she is still in the space.

The small world will block the transmission of information from the photo stone.

However, a day passed and there was still no response from the photo stone, and Gu Xueting couldn't help but become anxious.

Could it be that Zhizhi was in trouble? Fortunately, Tongshengqi was fine, otherwise he would not be able to wait even a moment.

As soon as the hairy monster was eliminated, he immediately caught up.

This day was the fifteenth day, and when night fell, a bright moon rose into the sky.

Gu Xueting stayed on the locust tree the whole time and used a trick to hide himself from others.

When the village chief thought he had left, he sent him a message, "Don't worry, old man, I'm here tonight."

A strange light flashed in the old village chief's turbid eyes, and he continued to smoke his pipe as if nothing had happened.

Gu Xueting extended his spiritual sense, and he could detect any movement in the entire village. As soon as the hairy monster appeared, he would discover it immediately.

As for the villagers' nightlife, he deliberately blocked it out. After all, he had no habit of prying into people's privacy.

When the moon rose to the zenith, the expected hairy monster did not arrive.

Gu Xueting felt something strange in his heart.

He took a step forward and came to the foot of the mountain east of the village.

Since the long-haired monster couldn't come, he would go find it himself!

However, when he left the village, he felt his feet were empty, as if he had stepped into the void.

The mountains, the moon, the night sky, these scenes all disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared in another part of the village.

Gu Xueting looked at the village in the night with an inexplicable expression.

He turned around and went out in another direction, and was teleported to a certain place in the village again.

Gu Xueting summoned Xiaoman again and asked it to keep rising. However, when it reached a certain height, it touched the limit and returned to the village again.

This village is actually a small space.

In this way, all the abnormalities he had noticed before were explained.

The small spaces he had encountered in the past were all filled with rich spiritual energy, and most of them were deserted. Even if there were, they were cultivators with advanced cultivation.

It was the first time I encountered such a small space formed by a mortal village, which was no different from the villages outside.
