The child hesitated, looked at the swords on the backs of the people, and finally said nothing, turned around and ran away.
"Hey, why did this kid run away? I'll go get him." Someone was about to chase him.
"Don't chase him. The villagers will think you are bullying him. We have already found out some useful information." Gu Qingxi stopped the man.
"What useful information?" The man asked in confusion, he didn't hear anything.
"This village should be occupied by evil things, which have been persecuting them. There were monks who came to eliminate the evil, but it was obvious that they failed. As long as we find this evil thing and eliminate it, we will complete this level of assessment." Gu Qingxi said slowly.
Everyone suddenly realized, and some people looked at her with admiration. Some people were very unhappy, and the girl with a sword on her back looked at Gu Qingxi unkindly. Everyone just followed her as the leader, but now the limelight has been stolen by Gu Qingxi!
"Let's go into the village and take a look." Someone suggested.
Everyone agreed and walked into the village together.
Gu Qingxi looked up at the dark sky above her head. Was it her illusion? She felt a little depressed as soon as she entered the village. It was as if she had entered some kind of enclosed space. But no one else seemed to notice anything unusual.
"It seems like there is a formation." Ancestor Wan Ling suddenly spoke.
"Then it's not my illusion. I felt very depressed as soon as I entered the village just now, as if I had entered a closed space." Gu Qingxi communicated with Ancestor Wan Ling in her heart.
"Ahahaha, you've been locked up and beaten." Ancestor Wan Ling laughed. Although he knew that this was an assessment, even if something really happened, Gu Qingxi would not be in any danger, but he couldn't resist the gloating in Ancestor Wan Ling's heart. It was a pleasant thing for him to see the little devil suffer.
Everyone originally wanted to ask the villagers questions, but as soon as the villagers saw them, they immediately went into the house and closed the door. Those walking on the road ran away quickly without waiting for them to get close, and there was fear on their faces. In addition to the fear, there seemed to be a hint of hatred.
"Why do you act like you've seen ghosts when you see us?"
"Are we that scary?"
"We're not bad people, why are you running?"
Everyone murmured in dissatisfaction.
Xu Baozhu moved closer to Gu Qingxi: "Qingxi, what do you think is going on?"
"It seems like our arrival will bring harm to them." Gu Qingxi replied in a low voice, "Have you read the storybook? There was an inn where bullies always went to collect protection fees. A hero who passed by saw the injustice and drew his sword to help and beat up the bully, but the owner of the inn glared at the hero and drove him away. Guess why?" "
Because the hero could help at the time, but after the hero left, the bully came back and only bullied the boss even more." Xu Baozhu was inspired, "The reason why these villagers are afraid of us and hate us is because there were cultivators who helped them before, but they didn't succeed, and instead made the villains behind them bully them even more."
"Smart." Gu Qingxi praised with a smile.
"There is also a bully here, and this bully is very powerful. The kid's words just now implied that there were also cultivators who wanted to help them, but they all died. It seems that there are more than one group of cultivators." Xu Baozhu analyzed by analogy.
Gu Qingxi nodded.
Listening to Gu Qingxi and Xu Baozhu's words, everyone looked at Gu Qingxi with even more admiration.
Someone couldn't wait to ask Gu Qingxi: "Then this lady, what should we do next?" After asking this question, the man introduced himself again, "My name is Xue Mingbai. This level requires us to work together to protect the villagers. If Miss Gu has any good ideas, I am willing to listen to Miss Gu's orders."
This Xue Mingbai looks to be in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a firm gaze, and a spiritual root, but he has not yet drawn Qi into his body, so he is still an ordinary person now. He is very smart. He saw Gu Qingxi ask the key to the village's problem before, and now he heard Gu Qingxi's orderly analysis. He has already determined in his heart that to pass this level, he should rely on Gu Qingxi.
"My name is Gu Qingxi. Actually, when we first entered the village, I found that we seemed to have entered a formation." Gu Qingxi looked up at the entrance of the village and frowned, "Besides, we should be able to enter but not leave."
"You said so? You just said it and fooled everyone to listen to you? You are wrong, so do we all fail the assessment?" The girl with the sword on her back finally found a chance to argue. She walked quickly to the entrance of the village, wanting to go out immediately to show everyone that what Gu Qingxi said was wrong.
Gu Qingxi ignored her and turned to look at the village. These villagers were obviously very resistant to contact with them and would not provide them with any useful information. Then they could only find clues by themselves. Gu Qingxi walked
forward, Xu Baozhu and Xue Mingbai hurriedly followed, and most people followed closely behind. There were also a few people looking in the direction of the girl with the sword on her back, waiting and watching.
As a result, the girl with the sword on her back ran to the entrance of the village, and then rushed straight into an invisible wall, and then the whole person was knocked back by the force and almost fell down.
Then all these people followed Gu Qingxi.
The girl with the sword on her back looked at the direction where everyone left with an unpleasant expression, but she didn't say anything, and followed with a dark face. Although she had a lot of opinions about Gu Qingxi, she was not stupid. The task was for everyone to work together to complete the assessment, and she would definitely not be able to do it alone.
"Is there anyone who knows the formation? I suggest that someone who knows the formation check around the village to see if there are any traces of the formation. Since this village has a formation, there must be a formation eye and a formation base. Find these and destroy them first, and I think the person behind the village will show
up." Gu Qingxi said. "I know a little bit, I'll take people to check around, who is willing to go with me?" Xue Mingbai asked.
Immediately, someone said that he was willing to go with Xue Mingbai.
Then someone else said that he knew a little bit, so this person also took a dozen people to check around.
The girl with the sword on her back said with a dark face: "I know it too, is there anyone who wants to go with me?"
However, no one responded.
The girl with the sword on her back's face became even darker.
"Send a few people with her to look after her. The mission is to get everyone to cooperate." Gu Qingxi spoke. Although she didn't like the girl with the sword on her back, she didn't want to use her power for personal gain at this time.
After hearing what Gu Qingxi said, someone followed the girl with the sword on her back.
The girl with the sword on her back glared at Gu Qingxi before leaving, and then took people to check the south of the village.
"Who is that?" Xu Baozhu stared at the back of the girl with the sword on her back and said angrily. Qingxi asked people to follow her to help her, but she still had this attitude. I really want to knock her teeth out!
