Chapter 27: If we can’t bear to leave, what should we do with our town?

"The furnace, what a vigorous blood."

Lin Fan was stunned.

I think even those at the third level of Qi Refining don’t have such vigorous blood and energy.

If you use your magic power, maybe you can achieve it.

But under normal circumstances.

That is far inferior to the other side.

He took a look at the rope in his hand and threw it directly into the campfire, where it began to burn.

The footsteps approached, and a figure appeared in front of him. He was holding a lantern, tilting his head, with a runny nose, sniffing, and stuttering. "You, you are not sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you doing in the woods?"

Lin Fan looked at this face and felt a little silly. The clear eyes revealed innocence.

"I am enjoying the cool air."

"You can't take shelter here in the cool of night. There are bad things here. Elbow, follow my elbow."

The young man grabbed Lin Fan's wrist, then held his head high and walked in the direction he came from.

Follow, without struggling, to see what's going on here.

Look back at the burning bonfire.

Even though the flames were burning fiercely, the surroundings were still dark.

A strange situation with no entity.

Could it be an evil spirit? His suspicion was already leaning towards the evil spirit.

They walked around in twists and turns, not knowing where they were going. The young man who was holding his wrist and leading the way kept chattering in a low voice all the way, but no one knew what he was saying until a building appeared in front of them. He looked up at the plaque.

"Yong'an Town"

I didn't expect there was a town in this place.

Now they were at the gate of town.

The young man let go of his wrist, turned around, and put the lantern close to Lin Fan's face, looking at it carefully. "This is Yong'an Town. Don't run around. I walk around the town every night. If anyone doesn't sleep, I will scold them."

"Donor, what's your name?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

"My name is not donor, my name is Shangui. I have lived in this town since I was a child. I am now a night watchman. There is an inn in front. You can go there and knock on the door. I don't know whether they will open it or not. Anyway, they are very bad." Shangui's stuttering is not serious, but he will pause after saying every few words.

"Since the inn may not be open, can I accompany you to keep watch?"

"Yeah, that's fine. I won't be too scared if I have someone with me."

Afterwards, Shangui ignored Lin Fan and walked towards the town with the lantern.

Lin Fan followed beside him, looking around. All the lights were off in the houses, not even a faint light source. He seemed to vaguely see a figure standing by the window in the attic of a house, peeking at the street.

It was not until Shangui shouted, "The weather is dry..." that the figure slowly retreated.

He is still not sure whether there is a problem in Yong'an Town, but the hanging rope in the woods is real and it really wants to harm him. Although he was discovered by him, he did not see the true form of the person who wanted to harm him.

At this moment, he felt a burning sensation in his wrist.

When he pulled up his sleeves, two fiery red fingerprints appeared on his wrists.

Then it disappeared in a flash.

But he still caught it.

"Blood mark."

Is it the mark left by Shan Gui grabbing my wrist just now?

He was sure that Shan Gui was not a cultivator.

He is just an ordinary person with a very strong blood.

But even such ordinary people are not something that demons and evil spirits can deal with. Demons are okay as long as they are not stained with their blood, so nothing will happen. But if the evil spirits get close to Shangui, they will probably be burned to ashes.

"I'm so tired, let's go to the tree and rest for a while." Shangui was panting. Although he was not fat, it was very tiring for him to stroll around the town.

The two sat under the tree.

"Shan Gui, who else is at home?"

"rhubarb."

"A dog?"

Generally, Dahuang, Xiaohei and Xiaohui are the names of dogs.

After all, there may not be foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes in this world, so there are no names like Jessica that sound like human names.

"Yes, my good friend."

"What about relatives?"

"Da Huang."

"oh……"

Lin Fan did not ask any further questions. He already understood that it seemed that he had no relatives and was only accompanied by a dog named Dahuang.

"Oh, right..."

Just when he wanted to ask something else, he heard Shangui's snoring.

Turn around and take a look.

Shan Gui leaned against a tree and fell asleep.

Lin Fan did not call him to wake up, but used the Eye of Merit and found that the moment Shan Gui fell asleep, the blood-like energy like the sun actually closed its eyes and disappeared without a trace.

Hiss! It's hot and humid tonight, without a breath of wind.

Suddenly, a chilly wind blew through the streets and alleys of Yong'an Town. This was not just a simple wind, but a strange wind. It was not known whether it was an illusion or not, but the darkness in the town seemed to be gradually increasing.

"Ah, I fell asleep."

Shan Gui, who was snoring, suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, looked around, and slapped his face with both hands, "How could I fall asleep? I'm on night watch."

Look towards Shangui.

The blood appeared again.

The gusts of cold wind that were blowing were gone.

Sure enough, the problem is very serious.

Shan Gui looked at Lin Fan and said, "Why don't you lie down here and sleep? I'll continue to keep watch. It's okay anyway."

"It's okay. I'm going with you. I just want to learn how to keep watch. This will help me have a skill in case I have no food to eat in the future."

"oh."

Night watch is a tiring job, but Shan Gui didn't seem to feel tired, he was even energetic, he would roar from time to time with a happy smile on his face, while Lin Fan memorized every street and alley of Yong'an Town in his mind.

No place was left out.

It's just that he seemed to have discovered some blind spots.

That is, he accompanied Shan Gui to walk all over Yong'an Town, but he didn't hear any abnormal sound. Could it be that they all went to bed on time? Speaking of sleeping, he also had the habit of going to bed on time.

But he held back at this moment.

He can overcome some small habits before he figures out the unknown situation.

After a long time, the morning sun slowly appeared, peeking out from the horizon and completely dispelling the darkness.

"I feel so sleepy. I'm going home to sleep. Let's go." Shan Gui was yawning and his eyelids were almost closed.

"Wait, can I go home with you?" Lin Fan asked.

The most peculiar person in Yong'an Town today must be Shan Gui.

If you want to understand the situation, you must stay by his side.

"Don't you have a home?"

"No."

"How pitiful! I still have a home. Let's go. My home is great."

…

At this time, Lin Fan and Shangui stood side by side, looking at the dilapidated wooden house with messy tiles in front of them, and fell into deep solemnity.

My home is nice? Could it be this wooden house? "How is it? Isn't my home nice?" Shangui faced Lin Fan, opened his arms, and proudly introduced, "I got this through my hard work as a night watchman. The mayor had someone build it for me. It's very comfortable."

Lin Fan nodded, "Very good."

Shan Gui, who was recognized, smiled happily and untied the rope of the small gate of the courtyard. The gate was only half a person's height and anyone could step in. The fact that it had to be locked showed that Shan Gui had a strong sense of protecting his territory.

Walk into the courtyard.

He saw a doghouse nearby, and indeed there was an old yellow dog lying there helplessly.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

If you look at it with the Eye of Merit, it is just an ordinary old yellow dog.

He felt that when he came to this place and met Shan Gui, who was as energetic as the sun, he had to observe everything carefully to prevent himself from being careless and not paying attention, thus missing too many things.

The facilities in the house were so simple and shabby that he couldn't believe it.

The table looked like it could fall apart at any time, the old and tattered wooden bed was only covered with wooden boards, and even the quilt was too ugly to look at.

But looking at Shan Gui’s happy expression when he returned home.

He understood that this might be what it means to be content.

Is there something wrong with Yongan Town? Of course there is.

As for why nothing happened, he thought it was because Shangui's blood was too strong, so he was asked to keep watch. But if it was Shangui's blood that protected the town.

Why would he be allowed to live in such an environment?

Or is it that in order to maintain such a vigorous blood, there are some taboos? Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Shangui snoring. Shangui, who was sleeping on the simple bed, had no sleeping posture and was sleeping in a mess.

He looked at it again with the Eye of Merit.

Just as he thought.

Shan Gui's blood energy disappeared.

It seems that when he is asleep, the blood and energy will disappear, and when he opens his eyes, the blood and energy will appear. The sky outside is very blue and clear, and the wind is very gentle, without the gloomy feeling of last night.

The house was a little dirty, so he sighed and walked out the door. When he came back, he was already carrying a basin of water into the house.

He knew that he might have to live here for a while.

A comfortable and clean environment has a great impact on your mood.

While he was cleaning, the small door of the courtyard was kicked open roughly. Then, a man rushed into the house angrily, glanced at Lin Fan, ignored him, and grabbed Shan Gui by the collar, roaring at him regardless of whether he was awake or not.

"Shangui, you idiot, where did you go last night? Did you know that someone died?"

Shan Gui, who had just fallen asleep, opened his eyes drowsily.

Seeing this face in front of me.

He was immediately frightened and his face turned pale. He shrank his head, his eyes were wandering and he avoided the target.

"I don't know. I don't know."

The man raised his fist and wanted to punch Shan Gui, but was stopped by Lin Fan's indifferent voice.

"I advise you to let him go."

"Damn Taoist priest, where are you from?"

The man was furious, but this rage gradually dissipated under Lin Fan's cold gaze.

Some of them didn't dare to look directly at him, and pointed at Shan Gui and then at Lin Fan.

Nothing was said, yet it seemed as if everything was said.

Leave in a hurry.

"Are you afraid of him?" Seeing that Shangui was still trembling, Lin Fan asked gently.

After all, he was just too friendly and lived up to the sense of responsibility that came with the Taoist robe he wore.

If the man just now was so arrogant in front of his master and senior brothers, it would probably not be possible.

"He, they often beat and scold me."

them?

…

The mayor's house.

In the hall.

The mayor, with a white beard and gorgeous clothes, sat there calmly drinking tea.

"Master, the body has been burned." The butler reported.

Last night, Shangui suddenly left the town, which caused problems and allowed that evil thing to break in. Fortunately, Shangui came back quickly and the evil thing ran away quickly.

"Just burn it. Who was guarding the town gate last night? Why couldn't they stop him?"

"Huang Laosan fell asleep."

Upon hearing this, the mayor slammed his teacup down on the table. "Nonsense, absolutely nonsense."

The housekeeper said, "I have already asked someone to teach Huang Lao San a lesson, and I have also arranged for someone else to guard the place at night. The situation like last night will definitely not happen again."

At this time, the man who had just been very arrogant in Shangui's house strode into the hall.

"Master, there is a Taoist priest in Shangui's family." The man told what happened as soon as he came back.

"Taoist priest? Where did you come from?"

The mayor was very confused.

There are no Taoist priests or even monks in their Yong'an Town.

Who is the master of Yongan Town?

It must be him, the mayor.

"I don't know, maybe Shan Gui brought it back last night."

"If he can bring it back, then it can't be an evil thing. Find someone to keep an eye on this Taoist priest and see what's going on. Also, have you found the birth date I asked you to look for?"

"Master, I found them, and there are quite a few of them, but..."

"You're all reluctant, right?"

"right."

The housekeeper was also helpless.

The one who is chosen will die. Who would be willing to give up their own daughter?

"Nonsense, you can't bear to let go, you can't bear to let go, he can't bear to let go, then who can we rely on for the safety of Yong'an Town? You are all waiting to die. Shan Gui is the guardian of our town. If he is gone, there must be another guardian. This seed must be replaced by someone else."

"Understood."

The housekeeper knew the seriousness of the matter.

Understand what to do.
