Yinshan County.
After He Fenghua and his group arrived, they rested for a while, and then the yellow-level demon hunters were assigned to patrol their own areas and familiarize themselves with the environment.
Gu Qingfeng also took Fatty Wang and Xu Daizi and headed straight for Heishui Village.
On the road, Gu Qingfeng rode a horse and walked in the front, while Fatty Wang and Xu Daizi also rode their horses closely behind him.
Fatty Wang felt confused as he looked at Gu Qingfeng, who was walking in front of him with the weapon on his waist clanking.
"Master Gu, aren't you tired of carrying four weapons?"
Gu Qingfeng asked without even turning his head: "Then you won't sink wearing two sets of armor?"
"Forehead……"
Fatty Wang was speechless and continued to make small talk: "Sir, we are almost at the outskirts of Blackwater Village. Why don't we just take a walk around the area and then go back to report."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to go, you can go back first."
This sentence choked Fatty Wang. Although he had no shame, he still couldn't do such a thing as escaping from the battlefield.
Especially if you run away before encountering any monsters, you won't have any use in the Demon Suppression Division in the future.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue moving forward with Gu Qingfeng.
About two hours later, it was almost dusk and the light was dim. There were shadows in the surrounding woods, and the leaves were swaying in the breeze, as if some monster was hiding in the shadows.
Fatty Wang was visibly nervous, and his forehead was covered in sweat as he wore two layers of armor.
Finally, after passing through the woods, Blackwater Village appeared in front of everyone.
Unlike the gloomy and desolate scene that had been imagined, from afar, the houses in Heishui Village were arranged in an orderly manner, with smoke rising from the roofs and children playing in the fields.
Faintly accompanied by the crowing of cocks and barking of dogs.
It is indeed a leisurely and harmonious scene like a paradise.
Gu Qingfeng stared for a long time before asking, "Is there really a demon in Black Water Village?"
Fatty Wang was also slightly relieved at this time: "Maybe it's true as the Earth-level Demon Exorcist said, that the demon is traveling to commit crimes?"
"Let's go and take a look first." Gu Qingfeng strode ahead.
The children playing in the fields cast curious glances.
After entering Heishui Village, they met some scattered villagers after walking a few steps. They looked at Gu Qingfeng and others with awe.
Because they recognized the official uniform Gu Qingfeng was wearing.
Gu Qingfeng randomly found a villager and asked, "Where is the head of your Blackwater Village?"
"Sir, you are looking for the village chief, right? Please wait a moment, I will go and call him for you."
After saying that, the villager trotted away.
Not long after, an old man with a cane walked slowly towards them.
"I am Hu Liang, an old man, and I am honored to meet the three masters of the Demon Suppression Division."
"No need to be polite, old man. I am Gu Qingfeng, the Yellow Level Demon Exorcist of the Demon Suppression Department. From now on, all matters concerning demons in your Blackwater Village will be handled by me."
Gu Qingfeng showed his badge and official documents to confirm his identity.
The attitude of the village chief Hu Liang became more respectful: "Master Gu has become a Yellow-rank Demon Slayer at such a young age. He is truly a young talent. It is a blessing for Blackwater Village to have such a pillar of ours protecting us."
Gu Qingfeng didn't exchange too many pleasantries, but directly shifted the topic to the matter of demons.
Hu Liang naturally told them everything he knew, and the group walked and talked in Heishui Village.
About an incense stick later, Gu Qingfeng finally figured out the whole story.
Here's what happened. A month ago, some children suddenly disappeared in Heishui Village. No one paid much attention to it at first, thinking that they were taken away by wild beasts or something.
But in the following days, children continued to go missing in the village, and some children even went missing at home. Witnesses said that they saw a gust of black wind coming and they could not open their eyes. When they opened their eyes, the children were gone.
When the village chief was young, he traveled far and wide and witnessed the methods of demons. He concluded at that time that it was the work of demons, so he quickly reported it to the Yellow-level Demon Exorcist in charge of Heishui Village. After the Yellow-level Demon Exorcist checked, he reported the matter to the Black-level Demon Exorcist, Lord Yang.
Then there was the story of Lord Yang leading the team to be wiped out.
According to the village chief, Lord Yang followed the demon's trail and determined that the demon was in the bone forest behind Heishui Village, so he went there and then died.
Later, after the Earth-level demon hunter arrived, he searched the Dry Bone Forest for several days but returned empty-handed. Not only did he not find any demons, he even failed to find the bodies of Lord Yang and others.
But the strange thing is that since the annihilation of Lord Yang's group, no more children have gone missing in the village, as if the demon was really a mobile crime committed by the Earth-level Exorcist and had already left.
After Gu Qingfeng understood what had happened, he asked the village chief Hu Liang to go home for dinner. He wanted to take a walk around the Dead Bone Forest, a place with heavy yin energy that was not suitable for an old man to follow.
After listening to what the village chief said, Fatty Wang completely relaxed and even took off a layer of armor.
"That's great, Lord Gu. There have been no demons causing trouble for several days. It seems that the demons have really left. Why don't we go back and report?"
"Shut up. If you want to leave, go by yourself. I'm going to stay in Heishui Village tonight." Gu Qingfeng said unhappily.
For Gu Qingfeng, he is not afraid of encountering monsters, what he fears most is not encountering them.
The demon prefers to act at night, so he decided to stay overnight.
Fatty Wang saw that Gu Qingfeng was angry and didn't dare to say anything more.
He still had a certain amount of awe towards this Shangguan who was only at the fourth level of Qi Gathering.
Because he knew about Gu Qingfeng's battle record, and he was good at defeating those who were at the Half-Step Inner Qi Realm.
This kind of strength is far beyond the reach of a loser like him who is only at the eighth level of Qi Gathering.
The three of them were strolling around the village, their destination being the Dead Bone Forest.
Gu Qingfeng carefully scanned every corner of the village, but still could not see anything unusual.
“Tang Haws! Cheap and delicious Tang Haws.”
Suddenly, the hawker's cry attracted Gu Qingfeng's attention.
The peddler had his back to the setting sun, and his body was illuminated by the dim light, so his face could not be seen clearly.
Not far from him, at the corner of the wall, there were several children around five or six years old running and playing.
Gurgle.
The sound of swallowing saliva came from beside Gu Qingfeng. It was Fatty Wang.
The big, round, sugar-coated candied haws that appear golden under the setting sun do look very appetizing.
"My Lord, would you like a string?"
Gu Qingfeng was also somewhat moved and nodded.
Fatty Wang looked at Xu Fan again: "What about you?"
"The book says, eat candy..."
"Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't ask."
Then Fatty Wang walked towards the vendor selling candied haws.
The vendor selling candied haws seemed to be ready to close his stall and go home for dinner. Because the distance was too far, he did not see Gu Qingfeng and the others, so he closed his stall and turned away.
Fatty Wang was so greedy that he had to eat some candied haws today, so he hurriedly called out while jogging, "Hey! Wait a minute, the candied haws seller!"
I don’t know if the vendor was hard of hearing, but he didn’t look back. Instead, he turned around and walked into an alley.
Although Fatty Wang was fat, he had actually reached the eighth level of body tempering. He immediately exerted force and reached the edge of the alley.
At this time, the hawker had just turned into the alley, and Fatty Wang almost followed him and also turned into the alley.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly: "I didn't expect this fat guy to run so fast when he saw food..."
Before Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, suddenly, Wang Pangzi's scream came from the alley!
ah!!!
