Chapter 140 The bride who comes down from the mountain to slay the demon (please vote for me! Please subscribe!)

Compared with the way up the mountain, the way down the mountain is much easier.

The total length of the mountain road is less than ten miles, and with the strength of Chen Yan and Zhang Tianzheng's feet, it only takes a moment.

The two stopped at the entrance of the village. Zhang Tianzheng saw three big characters written on the stone sign at the entrance of the village, and he opened his mouth and read:

"Yongning Village..."

Chen Yan did not speak, but looked at the entire Yongning Village with faint eyes. He saw that although the entire village was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, as if it was a happy event, it did not have the lively scene of a happy event. Instead, it seemed deserted and deserted. A spooky and eerie atmosphere.

Red lanterns were hung at the door of every house, but the door was tightly closed. Two strings of animal bones were hung on both sides of the door, and a lone sedan chair was placed at the entrance to the village, which was particularly eye-catching.

When Chen Yan and Zhang Tianzheng saw this scene, they both remained silent.

The fate of the country is failing, monsters are everywhere, and the people provide their children to the monsters in order to survive...

The world is in chaos.

The spiritual world is in chaos, and so is the secular world.

Zhang Tianzheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Director Lin, no matter what, save people first and then talk about it."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yan's response, he ran towards the sedan, with Chen Yan following behind.

When he ran to the sedan, Zhang Tianzheng opened the curtain and saw a bride wearing a phoenix crown and harem sitting in the sedan.

What is extremely incompatible with this dress is that the bride's hands and feet are all tightly tied at the moment, unable to move. Apart from fear and despair, her eyes are only numb and empty, with no other expression.

The rouge on her face seemed to be streaked with tears. Although her appearance was indeed charming and lovely, she couldn't feel it at all at the moment, as if she had lost all hope.

"Girl! Don't be afraid! We are good people! I will let you out right now!"

When Zhang Tianzheng saw it, he quickly stretched out his hand, cut the rope binding the bride, and then prepared to help the bride out.

However, what is surprising is that although the bride had a look of surprise on her face when Zhang Tianzheng and Chen Yan appeared, when Zhang Tianzheng was about to rescue her, she not only swung her body hard to prevent Zhang Tianzheng from pulling her, but also died He grabbed the edge of the sedan, shook his head vigorously, and refused to come out.

Zhang Tianzheng couldn't help but feel anxious:

"Girl, come out quickly! If you don't come out and wait for the monster to come, it will be too late!"

However, the bride refused to come out, as if Zhang Tianzheng was that evil monster, crying and saying:

"No! I can't leave! If I leave, Third Master will eat all my parents, and everyone in the village will be eaten!"

As he spoke, he shouted loudly:

"Come here! Someone wants to steal the bride!"

Hearing the bride's cry, the originally silent village immediately exploded.

All the people in the house rushed out with poles, hatchets and other farm tools. Before Zhang Tianzheng could react, they had already surrounded him three or four levels inside and outside, and everyone stared at Zhang Tianzheng fiercely. It was as if he wanted to gnaw his bones and eat his flesh.

At this time, the crowd made a way, and an old man with a long beard walked out of the crowd with a slightly sad expression. When he saw Zhang Tianzheng in Taoist attire and Chen Yan, who looked like a middle-aged Taoist priest behind Zhang Tianzheng, his expression was slightly startled. , and immediately dimmed again. The old man raised his hand to signal everyone to put down their things, and bowed to Chen Yan and the two of them. His weathered old face revealed an unusual sadness, and he said with a grimace:

"The two mages must have come here because of the Black Mountain Snake Monster, right? I hope the two mages will be noble and stop caring about this matter. Our village doesn't have that many young men to calm down the anger of 'Third Master'..." …”

There are not that many young men left to appease the Third Master’s anger...

Zhang Tianzheng originally still had anger in his heart, but after hearing the old man's words, all the anger immediately turned into nothingness. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out. His eyes dimmed and he put it down with a wry smile. hands.

Behind Zhang Tianzheng, Chen Yan looked at the surrounding villagers in Yongning Village and found that most of them were elderly people and some underage children. He frowned slightly and then said to the old man:

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, poor Taoist Lin Jiuying, this old man is the village leader of Yongning Village? Listening to the old man's conversation, it seems that he is also a man who has read a lot of poetry and books."

"Master Lin is so grateful."

Seemingly infected by Chen Yan's upright appearance, the aura of the surrounding villagers calmed down a little. The old village chief's expression also relaxed a little, and he nodded and said:

"The old man was once a scholar during the Kaiyuan period. He was the village leader of Yongning Village and the tutor of the private school in the village."

"It turns out that you are a master with a great reputation. Disrespect! Disrespect!"

Chen Yan dispelled the hostility of the villagers in Yongning Village in a few words, and then asked directly:

"From what the old gentleman said, it seems that besides the two of me, there are other people who have come here to subdue this snake demon?"

"Ugh!"

After hearing this, the old village chief sighed heavily. At this time, not only his expression became sad, but also the expressions of other surrounding villagers became extremely sad.

Just listen to the old man's voice saying bitterly:

"At the beginning of the year, the snake demon came to my Yongning Village and asked me by name to donate a yellow flower girl to it as a concubine. At that time, a mage and monk came to help subjugate the demon, but he never came back. The snake demon is so angry that it wants to destroy our Yongning Village.

In order to appease the anger of the snake demon, our Yongning Village had to offer the young men and women in the village as sacrifices, so now the young men and women in the village are running away and dying, and only we, the orphans and widows, are left..."

Zhang Tianzheng's face darkened when he heard the old village chief's troubles, and he asked in a deep voice: "This is not far from Changze County, why don't you directly ask for help from Changze County and ask Supervisor Tiansi to come and subdue the demon?" Where’s the demon slayer?”

Hearing Zhang Tianzheng say this, Chen Yan knew that Zhang Tianzheng must have lived in Meishan for a long time before going down the mountain, and thought that Xiangzhou was peaceful.

Sure enough, when the old village chief heard this, he looked at Zhang Tianzheng, smiled coldly, and said:

"Changze County? Jian Tiansi? These beasts are jackals more ferocious than snake monsters. If they are useful, why would I sacrifice my granddaughter to be a concubine for monsters?"

As he spoke, the old man couldn't help crying, and the bride standing in front of the sedan also threw herself into the arms of an old woman and cried loudly. The faces of the surrounding villagers all showed sadness and indignation.

"As the saying goes, evil deeds will eventually be punished. Since the old gentleman and all the villagers are so unwilling, why not let Pindao and this Taoist Zhang try to subdue this monster?"

Chen Yan took a step forward, glanced at the people around him with an indifferent expression, and then without waiting for the other party to object, he pulled Zhang Tianzheng in front of him and said:

"Pindao is just an unknown person and needs no introduction, but Taoist Zhang has a great background. He is a disciple of the Lingshan Taoist Sect. He is proficient in Taoism and sword control, and is hundreds of times better than ordinary exorcists."
