Chapter 39 Escape

Grass Village was originally a small peaceful and dust-free village, and more than 50 families in the village lived a simple and carefree life. But since last year, when a monster lived in the back forest of the mountain, the cottage village has fallen into endless nightmares.

In the past year, first, livestock and chickens were lost for no reason, which made the name of the village that was not rich enough. Recently, this monster has become worse and has killed three people in a row. The wife of the villager Zhang Erzhu was sucked to death by the monster.

Recalling his wife's death again, Zhang Erzhu was still in pain. He then said to Li Mu, "The village head asked everyone to raise some money to invite Tongtian Daxian. Originally, he was expected to get rid of this monster, but he didn't expect to mistake your brother... as a monster. I'm really embarrassed." The villagers in the remote field are relatively simple. From the site of the accident to here, he has said sorry to Li Mu more than ten times.

Thinking that the Taoist priest is fake, Zhang Erzhu is a little distressed, which is hard for the whole village to make up. Now the monster has not been caught and almost harmed a person. How to live in the future?

Li Mu probably understood what happened here. In recent years, demons have been rampant in the world, and this is just a microcosm. Li Mu wanted to sympathize with them, but it seemed ridiculous for a poor man who was not to sympathize with others. It's hard to take out the magic palm of the heavenly court, and the body wound has not healed yet. Once he casts spells again, it will definitely be detected by the people in the heavenly court.

The moonlight gently moved over the top of the head, and many people fell asleep. Only Li Mu couldn't sleep. He sat on the bluestone in front of Zhang Erzhu's house and looked at the sky in a daze.

If only it hadn't gone down the mountain at the beginning.

Gradually, I recall the past. I still remember the carefree days on Tongyuan Mountain at that time, and the happy days when I practiced immortals with my brothers. But now, everything has changed and can never go back to the past. Tongyuan Daxian has done his best for him. Li Mu doesn't want to embarras his master anymore, so he can't go back to Tongyuan Mountain.

A heroic figure flashed in the chaos, and I still remember the persistent girl who was thousands of miles away to see the sea needle. Like Ao Ning, she gives Li Mu a sense of intimacy. But the two feelings are a little different. The former is love from the heart, while the latter is from the heart.

How is she? Should she be busy now? Li Mu guessed and remembered that she said that she was an exorcist. Now that demons are in charge, she is busy.

"You are still injured. Go into the house early and rest." A caring voice came from ahead. Li Mu knew that it was Zhang Erzhu, who had just returned from the village head's house. He didn't know that Li Mu's wound had healed long ago.

Li Mu withdrew his eyes, looked at Zhang Erzhu and asked, "How about it? Have you discussed a solution?"

Several backbones of the village went to the village head's house to discuss countermeasures, and it was obviously impossible to hire a demon hunter. Even if they sell all the valuable things in the village, they may not be able to make up a few taels of silver. Zhang Erzhu shook his head and sighed, "In terms of the day, the monsters will definitely come out and hurt people in these two days. The village head suggested that everyone move away. Everyone else thinks so. My family is still small, and I plan to move out tomorrow.

"Really, where are you going?" Li Mu asked in surprise. The world is so big, where is there a place to be?

Zhang Erzhu was a little distracted and replied, "I don't know that my ancestors grew up here, and there are no relatives to vote for. Let's take it one step at a time. With all his strength, he should not starve to death.

Zhang Erzhu sat next to Li Mu with a lantern. In order to save some oil, he sat down and turned off the oil lamp and regained the coldness around him.

Li Mu didn't say anything. It's okay to leave. Isn't he just running away? Isn't he the same and has no goal? Since you are also confused, how can you give advice to others?

"Where is your home? Why did you come out alone at such a young age?" Zhang Erzhu looked at Li Mu with a little yearning. Although Li Mu was wearing his old linen clothes at this time, his temperament was far from comparable to that of ordinary people. It could be guessed that Li Mu was either rich or noble, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Zhang Erzhu was also young and had a beautiful vision for the world. He fantasized about traveling to the mainland in the past. However, the rules handed down from generation to generation make it impossible for this honest farmer to realize his ideals. Marrying a wife and having children is what he should do.

Li Mu pointed to the underground and said, "My home is here."

Zhang Erzhu smiled, "Hey, you are really funny." He saw Li Mu's skills and thought that Li Mu was the kind of ranger who was everywhere. He knew that Li Mu meant underground, not where he was.

Li Mu looked at Zhang Erzhu, slowly stood up, and went back to the house to rest.

In the morning of the next day, it was slightly dawn, and before the roaring rooster got up, the whole grass village began to be noisy. Zhang Erzhu only packed a few valuable things and some clothes and began to make breakfast.

"Kotsuka, go and ask that uncle to get up for breakfast." Zhang Erzhu shouted to the small tomb that was looking at the door.

Without waiting for Xiaozhong to shout, Li Mu opened the door and came out. As an immortal, their senses are far better than ordinary people, and Li Mu has been woken up by everyone for a long time.

"Uncle woke up." Kotsuka shouted with joy.

Zhang Erzhu put a few bowls of porridge and a small plate of pickles on the table. He saw Li Mu and said, "Brother, come and eat something. Let's go with us after eating."

Sitting at the table and looking at the sticky soup with a few grains of rice, it was difficult for Li Mu to lower his chopsticks for a moment. I haven't eaten such a light meal since I was a child. There is no such thing as porridge here. It's just like boiled water. No wonder Xiaozhong is thin. How can he grow his body by eating this kind of thing?

Li Mu took a sip, which was no different from what he expected and tasted at all. He suddenly felt that he was not drinking porridge, but the bitter life of the villagers in Caoshe Village. For a while, his heart was full of flavors.

"The countryside really have nothing to entertain. I'm sorry for you." Seeing that Li Mu couldn't swallow, Zhang Erzhu was a little embarrassed, "Why don't I steam some nests?" Zhang Erzhu got up, and Li Mu quickly stopped him: "No, in fact, I'm not very hungry." When he came out, he saw Zhang Erzhu steaming several nests, but he put them all in a cloth bag, which must be food along the way. In such a miserable life, how can Li Mu be embarrassed to ask him to take it out and eat for himself?

Zhang Erzhu looked at Li Mu shyly and apologized: "I'm really sorry."

After taking a few sips, Li Mu followed Zhang Erzhu to the entrance of the village. He didn't want to leave with them, but sent them away and then left by himself.

"Oh, where's Kotsuka!" The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village and were about to leave. Zhang Erzhu found that Xiaozhong was not around. Someone next to him replied, "Brother Zhang, I just saw Xiaozhong running back in a hurry. I guess something has fallen. Let's wait for him."

"!"

As soon as the young man finished saying the last word, Li Mu suddenly felt a strange breath drifting towards Zhang Erzhu's home. Li Mu was shocked and flew back quickly.

"Uncle, you..." Kotsuka saw Li Mu flying back in a gust of wind and was surprised to ask him. Li Mu waved a fairy spirit, and suddenly there was a muffled sound behind him.

Xiaozhong was so scared that he shrank his neck and was about to look back to see what had happened when he heard Li Mu shout, "Xiaozhong, come to me."

Kotsuka answered and quickly ran to Li Mu.

At this time, Zhang Erzhu and several young people with fast legs and feet also ran back and saw a handsome young man standing opposite Li Mu. At this time, there was a trace of blood on the corners of his mouth, which was obviously injured. They looked at the young man doubtfully, but they didn't know him.

"Who are you? Why did you block me?" The young man stared at Li Mu with resentment. Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with Li Mu's action.

Li Mu ignored him and just used Dugufang to teach him to recognize demons, but found that he had no demonic spirit, no fairy spirit, let alone ghost and popularity. Li Mu couldn't help frowning and asking, "You're not a demon or a ghost. What is it?"

"Haha--" The young man suddenly laughed, and the blood on the corners of his mouth disappeared in an instant. He pointed to Li Mu and said, "What I am not important. You are about to become a dead person." After saying that, before the sound dissipated, the young man had already appeared in front of Li Mu, and his five fingers turned into sharp claws and stabbed Li Mu's chest.

It's so fast!

Li Mu exclaimed and hurriedly rose into the air.

The young man followed, with surprisingly fast speed, like the legendary instantaneous movement, and can appear in any position at will. Li Mu couldn't dodge and added a few more wounds. Fortunately, this person's attack power is not enough to break Li Mu's own defense. Otherwise, Li Mu would have been torn to pieces by his claws.
