Chapter 10: Simple Villagers



Zhou Zhilu's home is on the South Fifth Ring Road. It was a house that Tu Qing found for him through his connections. It is an exquisite small courtyard facing south.

Although the yard is not big, it is big enough for Zhou Zhilu to practice.

Entering the yard, Zhou Zhilu glanced at the wall on the right. Opposite the wall was a house of exactly the same specifications.

Zhou Zhilu walked forward carefully, lay on the wall, and then secretly stood on tiptoe.

Suddenly, a sword energy burst out from behind the wall!

Zhou Zhilu quickly lowered his head, but a few strands of his long hair were still cut off.

"Uh... well, I just wanted to see if you were there and whether you wanted to have some candied haws..."

After saying that, Zhou Zhilu handed a candied haws to the other side of the wall.

Suddenly, a voice that made Qingxue feel embarrassed and annoyed came from behind the wall: "I told you not to buy candied haws anymore, what's the point of you giving them to me every day?!"

Zhou Zhilu protested, "I'm just sharing snacks with my neighbor. Do you want me to? If not, I'll let you go."

After a pause, Zhou Zhilu was about to let go when he heard a swish and felt his hand go empty. Then he heard Ling Qingxue say coldly, "Practice more when you have time. This is the last time."

Zhou Zhilu smiled when he heard this, said nothing more, turned around and walked into the house.

Lying lazily on the bed, the Book of Worlds appeared before my eyes.

Among the densely packed records, only two pieces of information still shone with other lights.

One of them was the information about his own travel through time, flashing red light.

The second is the information about the Chen Mansion massacre. After Zhou Zhilu finished recording it, the "Book of Boundaries" did reflect the blue mist, and he also used it to break through his cultivation.

But what Zhou Zhilu didn't expect was that the recorded text once again revealed a purple light!

Thinking of the mysterious formation, Zhou Zhilu guessed that the purple light might correspond to the real culprit behind the scenes!

Purple light...

At present, white, green and blue are basically spiritual energy, which can directly improve the cultivation level. Moreover, Zhou Zhilu discovered that while the blue spiritual mist improved his cultivation level, it seemed that his spirit also seemed to be improved to a certain extent.

As for the gold color, it represents an innate magical power. So what does the purple color correspond to...

However, although Zhou Zhilu was curious, he did not have much motivation to solve the mystery.

It has been four months since I came into this world. Except for being involved in a case, I have lived a comfortable life for the rest of the time.

It feels... quite stable. What should I do if I suddenly want to lie down?

As for why he came to this world, the red light still flashing in the "Book of the World" meant that there must be something strange going on.

But sometimes Zhou Zhilu would think, what if he didn't care about anything, didn't think about anything, and just lived casually, then even if there were more conspiracies, would he not be involved?

At night, Zhou Zhilu did not practice and fell asleep.

The next day at noon.

On a mountain path far outside the capital.

A team wearing black robes with red edges was moving forward quietly.

The team consisted of about twenty people, and they were the new recruits of Fuye Division, including Zhou Zhilu and others.

The team was led by an unfamiliar sixth-rank Fuye Guard. He said, "The village is just ahead. Follow me and charge forward. Kill all enemies!"

Zhou Zhilu was shocked when he heard this. Kill them all? Is it necessary to go to this extent?

However, there was not much time to think, and the team leader, the sixth-rank Fu Yewei, had already led the team out.

At this time, the group was less than a thousand meters away from the village. The team was like an arrow shot from a bow, moving rapidly towards the destination. At the same time, everyone in the team drew their weapons from their waists and was ready for battle.

Seven hundred meters... five hundred meters... three hundred meters!

The village was right in front of us, but there was no obstacle at all along the way, it was surprisingly smooth.

There were no patrols and no traps on the road. It seemed like just an ordinary small village.

As the group approached, people in the village gradually noticed them.

However, they were just a group of peasant women in cloth clothes, gathered in twos and threes, looking at everyone curiously. Some of the peasant women were even coaxing crying children in their arms. They did not look like members of the Xianling religion at all.

The team leader, the sixth-rank Fu Yewei, also frowned upon seeing this.

When everyone entered the village, the villagers gathered around and looked at the swords in everyone's hands, with panic in their expressions.

An old man with a cane walked out of the crowd across from them. He shakily stepped forward and asked carefully, "Who... are you? What are you doing in our Xiaolin Village?"

The leader walked forward slowly, carefully observing his surroundings, and asked softly, "Old man, have any outsiders come to your village recently? Or have you seen any monsters or anything like that?"

The old man hesitated and said, "Outsiders have been here before, but they left yesterday. They were all wearing silver robes and were acting mysterious the whole time. They gave us some money and said they wanted to stay for a while."

At this time, people around also said one after another: "Speaking of this, during that period of time, I kept hearing some beast roars, which were quite scary, but I'm not sure if they were monsters."

The team leader frowned when he heard this and looked at the villagers suspiciously. Could it be true that those people had already left as these people said?

He then asked, "I wonder if you could take us into the village to take a look. Don't worry, we are the imperial night guards. We are here to arrest the cult. If we don't find anything unusual, we will leave immediately."

The old man hesitated and then nodded in agreement.
