Chapter 487: The Hospitable Xilan Village
"The people of our Xilan Village are the most hospitable."
The old man was wearing a simple grey cloth and smiled as he invited everyone to come into the village. At the entrance of the village stood a stone tablet with the words "Western Region Orchid Village" engraved on it.
"So Xilan Village is the abbreviation of Western Region Orchid Village." Lao Du laughed softly, "Why not just call it Broccoli?"
Wang Longqi laughed and said, "Why not just call it cauliflower?"
Lao Du laughed again and said, "Then just call..."
Before he could finish his words, Wang Longqi and Yu Qian'an at the same time reached out their hands to cover his mouth and said, "Don't say that. It's unlucky."
“Okay, okay…” Lao Du quickly raised his hands in surrender. After being released, he muttered, “I’m not afraid.”
Yu Qian'an and Wang Longqi said fiercely at the same time: "I'm not afraid either!"
After a few words, the old man led the group to the largest courtyard in the village. Although it was not very grand, it had a few small courtyards and brick and stone houses, which was a rare scale in the village.
"This is our village chief's home. He is the only one that can accommodate you all." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and knocked on the door, "Village chief! Look what good things I brought you! Open the door quickly!"
Everyone: “…”
Although I felt that the old man's words were a little inappropriate, I couldn't bring myself to say that I was not a good person. In short, it seemed difficult to refute...
Not long after, a sturdy farmer who looked like a servant opened the door and led the few people in. They saw a fat old man sitting in the hall, dressed in slightly wealthy clothes.
"Oh, guests are here. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Haha." The village chief smiled and stood up to greet them. Then he asked, "Where are you from?"
"We are Taoists who came from Heluo in the East and are traveling to the Western Regions to practice Taoism. We are passing by this precious land and would like to stay here for one night. We are sorry to bother you." Yu Qian'an replied immediately.
"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me." The village chief said with a smile, "We in Xilan Village are very hospitable and love to receive guests from outside!"
…
At the same time, at the entrance of the village where Li Chu and his companions had just passed by, a tall young man carrying a stick as high as his eyebrows on his back also came here.
"Western Region Orchid Village..."
The young man had long yellow hair, a thin face and a sharp gaze. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard a shout from the side.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Four or five strong men rushed out from the roadside and shouted.
The young man smiled and bowed, "Everyone, I am a traveler passing by here. I just lost my way in a storm. It's getting late, so I want to find a place to stay. I wonder if it's convenient..."
Hearing the young man's request, several strong men in Xilan Village responded politely.
"roll!"
"inconvenient!"
"The farther you are from me, the farther you will die!"
"Take another step forward and I'll break your legs!"
“…”
Hearing this, the young man immediately showed an angry expression, "If it's inconvenient, then it's inconvenient, why are you scolding me?"
"Swearing? If you keep on talking, I'll beat you up!" The leading burly man pointed at the young man, "Will you get out of here or not?"
"Hmph..." The young man snorted coldly, looking at the few people with a serious look, and said word by word: "Get out if you want."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
As he walked, he whispered to himself: "You will have to avenge your grandfather and father in the future. You must remain useful and cannot fight with these people...Except for Li Chu, no one is worth your effort!"
…
"We are deeply touched by the hospitality of the people in your village."
Facing a table full of delicious food, Yu Qian'an couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Looking at the mountain beasts, the geese in the clouds, the cattle and sheep on land, and the seafood in the sea in front of them, everyone showed excitement, especially the little koi, whose fur stood up and trembled.
"It must be said that the food here is better than in the Jinque Kingdom Palace." Wang Longqi also said: "No matter how delicious oysters are, you can't eat them every meal."
"This is how it is in our Xilan Village. We have good wine for friends who come over..." The village chief was halfway through his words when he suddenly turned around and smiled and stopped talking.
"The wine is indeed good." After Wang Longqi drank a few more glasses, he felt a little drunk, stood up again and said, "I'm going to go out for some fresh air."
It was dark outside the yard, and except for the village chief's house, no other houses had lights on. Standing in the back garden, the evening breeze blew, and I felt relaxed and happy.
So Wang Longqi untied his belt.
"Drinking a lot of urine, especially drinking a lot of alcohol..."
While he was peeing, his eyes were wandering, and he saw a bird fly up from the garden and land on a pillar in the distance.
The next second, a beam of red light suddenly shot over and swept the bird away in an instant...
Wang Longqi's pupils suddenly dilated. He could see clearly that it was a long tongue! The wind blew from that direction, carrying a faint fishy smell.
"A monster!" Wang Longqi turned around and ran, limping back to the banquet, shouting, "There's a monster, there's a monster!"
"What's wrong?" Li Chu stood up after hearing that.
Yu Qian'an reached out and covered the little koi's eyes.
Old Du quickly advised: "Seventh Young Master, put aside the other things and pull up your pants first."
"Ah..." Wang Longqi then realized that he had forgotten about this matter because of the shock just now. He quickly pulled up his pants and said, "I was just taking a breath in the back garden and saw a monster! A long tongue with a fishy smell..."
"Impossible!" The village chief shook his head firmly and said, "We have many talented people in Xilan Village, and there has never been any monster in the past few hundred years."
Li Chu closed his eyes and scanned the place, then opened his eyes and said, "There is indeed no demonic aura here."
Wang Longqi said: "It's impossible. What I just saw could never be..."
"Seventh Young Master, have you drunk too much?" Lao Du helped him sit down and said, "Don't worry, my master is here. If there is any monster showing any demonic aura, the Pure Yang Sword will kill it directly. What are you afraid of?"
"That's right..." Wang Longqi sat down, shook his head, and wondered if he had seen it wrong.
Everyone was talking at once when they suddenly heard a laughter as loud as a silver bell coming from outside the house.
"I heard from my family that there were several guests from Heluo, but Grandpa, you didn't even ask me to come and see them."
There was a jingling sound of bracelets and a woman in a gorgeous red dress turned to the hall. She had a bright face and seductive eyes, and she arrived at the banquet room in a few steps.
Seeing Li Chu, he suddenly covered his mouth and said, "What a handsome Taoist priest."
"Chan'er, don't be so presumptuous." The village chief scolded with a smile, but his eyes were full of doting. He introduced her to everyone: "This is my granddaughter. She has been spoiled since she was young. Please bear with her."
"It's okay." Yu Qian'an waved his hand with a smile.
Wang Longqi suddenly pulled Du Lanke over and whispered, "This woman seems... not quite right."
"Huh? Something's wrong." Lao Du asked puzzledly.
"Anyway... she doesn't look like a human. I suspect the monster I just saw was her." Wang Longqi scratched his head and said speculatively.
"Seventh Young Master, you can't say that someone is not a human being just because he or she is good-looking." Old Du smiled.
"It's that feeling... You haven't had in-depth communication with the female monster, so you don't understand." Wang Longqi shook his head.
"..." Lao Du was silent for a moment and didn't know what to say.
After all, when it comes to experience in this area, he really can't compare with Wang Longqi.
At this time, Wang Longqi glanced at Yu Qian'an. The old and the young looked at each other, and there seemed to be deep meaning in their eyes.
"Um……"
Wang Longqi immediately became more determined in his thoughts and said, "We have to find a way to test her."
