Chapter 43 Crisis in Xujiacun

"Brother, are you kidding? We are members of the Immortal Sect, and our duty is to eliminate demons and defend the Way. If we don't charge forward when encountering monsters, but act like cowards, wouldn't we have entered the Immortal Sect in vain?" Chu Huai'an smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth, adding a touch of liveliness to his strong bookishness.

"Senior brother is right. It is our duty to solve the demonic crisis in Xujia Village and protect the safety of the people. We are bound to do so!" Hua Jianli straightened his back and his eyes were clear.

The others also nodded.

"Dear Immortals, since you are so determined, I can't dissuade you." The officer put down the tea bowl in his hand, pursed his lips and shook his head, and then said, "Xujia Village is not far from here, and we just want to go to investigate the new missing person. As for the children, you can go with us."

Bai Yusheng handed over his hand, "Thank you so much to the elder brothers."

The officer who just spoke stood up, and the other two officers also stood up soon after.

The official badge hanging on the waist of the officer who got up first was obviously different from that of the other two, so he must be the leader.

The five people followed, and Bai Yusheng asked the leading officer, "May I ask my eldest brother what your name is?"

"My surname is Zhang, with the character "Feng" in my name. I am from Huicheng, and I work as an errand at Yuecheng Yamen." the errand replied.

"Brother Zhang, how many children are there in Xujia Village? How many are missing so far?" Bai Yusheng asked again.

"Xujia Village is surrounded by mountains. It is a small village with a small population. There are more than 16 people under the age of 11. The missing people are all under the age of ten. There are currently [-] people. Three corpses have been found. They all died in the same way. ." Officer Zhang said as he walked.

The few of them chatted for a while and soon arrived at the entrance of Xujia Village.

I saw a simple wooden pile standing on the side of the road, with the words "Xujia Village" engraved on it. After walking two steps, a wooden door appeared in front of me, with several seals on it.

Officer Zhang stepped forward and tore off the seal, opened the door, and explained, "Xujia Village is now in great danger. In order to prevent outsiders from entering without risking their lives, the seal was posted."

Walking into the wooden door, Huajianli looked far away. The small village no longer had the peace and tranquility of the past. Instead, it was filled with devastation and lifeless wailing.

There was no one on the street, only the wind carrying the leaves occasionally whistled by, and the few wisps of smoke that rose up seemed particularly cautious at this moment.

Hua Jianli followed the team towards the village. Passing by a house, he caught a glimpse of a little girl with braids and a big red jacket looking out of the closed window. The girl's eyes were as big as black grapes. Hua Jianli couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The five people followed the police officer to a house where a five-year-old boy had just been lost.

Officer Zhang knocked on the door and said, "Zhang Feng from the Yamen is here to investigate. Please open the door."

After waiting for a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind the door, and the door was opened, revealing the woman's thin and haggard face.

"This is Mr. Zhang, please come in." The woman stepped aside, her voice hoarse and tired.When the three officers walked into the yard, the woman saw the five Huajianli people behind her and asked in confusion, "Who are these?"

Officer Zhang turned around and replied, "Oh, these are the immortal elders from the Immortal Sect. They are here specifically to solve the black energy issue."

When the woman heard this, she quickly knelt down, cried and kowtowed to the five people, "Fellow immortals, please save my son..."

Hua Jianli quickly stepped forward to help the woman up, "Auntie, don't do this, get up first and then talk."

The woman nodded while wiping her tears and led a few people into the main room.

The main room was very dark because the doors and windows were locked. A man was sitting on a bench sharpening a knife. Even with the light behind him, his messy hair and thin back could be clearly seen.

When he heard someone coming in, the man stopped what he was doing and turned his head.

"Master Zhang and several immortal leaders are here to learn about Luo'er's disappearance," the woman said.

"What's the use even if someone from the Immortal Sect comes? Before Erya next door disappeared, a cultivator of immortality also came and left in despair." The man turned his head and continued to sharpen his knife with a cold tone.

"Tu Yuan, these immortals are very capable and have many people. They will definitely be able to help you find your son." Zhang Chaoyi patted the man on the shoulder and said.

The man named Tu Yuan remained silent. Officer Zhang asked the woman again, "Luoer disappeared in the middle of the night. Was there any movement when he disappeared?"

The woman shook her head, her voice choked with sobs, "Ever since the children in the village disappeared one after another, the child's father and I didn't dare to sleep every night, and we took turns keeping watch. The day before yesterday, his father kept watch, but fell asleep for some reason, and I fell asleep too. The medicine was just like medicine, and I fell into a very deep sleep. When I woke up, Luoer was gone."

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Why did I fall asleep..." The man suddenly dropped the knife in his hand, beat his chest, hugged his head and cried.

"Uncle, you don't need to blame yourself. It must be the monster that is causing trouble and using some method to make you sleepy. Don't worry, we will do our best to eliminate the monster and help you find Luo'er." Bai Yusheng comforted Tu Yuan.

"Dear immortals, we have to rush back to the Yamen to resume our duties. We can't continue to accompany you. Children disappear in the middle of the night. You must be careful." Officer Zhang understood the situation clearly and said goodbye to the five people at the door.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang. It's been a long journey." Bai Yusheng thanked him with his hands in hand.

"Wherever, if the Immortal Chief can eliminate the demonic energy, he will be a great benefactor to my Xujia Village and even Yuecheng." Officer Zhang laughed loudly and left with the other two officers.

"It's Youshi now, and it's getting dark soon. Let's first divide into two teams to walk around the village. Hua Jianli and Hou Yueming and I will be in one team, and Huaian and Lin Yiqiao will be in the other team. If there is any situation at night, we will send word in time. "Bai Yusheng looked at the four people and arranged the next action.

"Yes, senior brother." The four of them responded in unison.
