Chapter 40 Monster

Chen Erniu jumped up from the bed, pulled the clothes beside the bed, put them on randomly, took his son and ran out the door, asking hurriedly:

"What the hell is going on!"

The eldest son of Chen, who was called Chen Sanshui, was reaching out to take off the long knife on the wall with an anxious look on his face, and shouted:

"Dad, bring a knife. Dad, bring a knife! I'll tell you on the way!"

Chen Erniu took the long knife, tied it around his waist, and ran towards the village with long strides.

"A villager got up at night to patrol the fields. He felt that there were people in the fields. The villager thought it was someone doing that in the fields. He quickly hid and took a peek, but he saw a bloody body with no back of the head. The dead bodies were so frightened that they pissed their pants on the spot.”

As Chen Sanshui spoke, he hurriedly followed Chen Erniu.

"How did you die?"

"The back of his head was smashed and his brain was ripped out. He died in a miserable state."

Upon hearing this, Chen Erniu quickly stopped and said in surprise:

"Can someone be sent to inform the master?"

"Never..."

Chen Sanshui replied hesitantly.

"Idiot! Do you think you can keep this secret?!"

Chen Erniu immediately flew into a rage and yelled that he hated iron.

"I have discussed it with that man and several families on the edge of the field... and asked them to keep quiet. The first murder case in the past few years happened at Lichuankou. I'm afraid that Xu Wenshan will be detrimental to my father!"

Seeing that his father was anxious, Chen Sanshui quickly explained.

"Idiot! This man's brains have been ripped out!"

"this……"

Seeing his father's shocked and angry expression, Chen Sanshui couldn't help but slow down for a moment, as if he had come to his senses.

"Ordinary murders can rip out brains?! What's more, that Xu Wenshan and I were fighting for others to see. We were both very satisfied with each other. How could he, Xu Wenshan, add insult to injury to me? He offended this Lichuanguchi by killing me for nothing. More than a hundred households?”

"You brothers are all as stupid as pigs, and Xu Wenshan is younger than me. If I am gone from now on, what will you do to fight with me?!"

"Father……"

This interrogation shocked Chen Sanshui to the point of being so ashamed that he lowered his head and said nothing.

Chen Erniu's face was downcast, his heart was extremely upset, and he said coldly:

"I'm afraid there's a monster worshiping me, so I'll go and inform my master personally."

Chen Sanshui nodded vigorously and hurried towards Lijing Village. Chen Erniu watched his eldest son go away, his face finally showed some fear and sadness, and he said softly:

"I don't know how much this monster weighs. If Sanshui's eyes are brighter, he can leave an heir for my Chen family."

Chen Erniu had personally experienced the horrific drought at Lichuan Pass. He was still young at that time and was sitting in front of the door playing. He watched the big bird covered with red flames fall at Lichuan Pass and swallowed it like a small insect. Several villagers then fluttered away, leaving Rikawaguchi with a field of steaming heat for three months.

The surviving villagers ate everything that was edible near the mouth of Lichuan. They scooped water from the Meichi River and poured it into the ground, but it all disappeared. Chen Erniu's father picked up load after load of water. After watering the ground for nine days, he committed suicide holding his starving wife in his arms.

Chen Erniu left the bodies of his parents behind, gritted his teeth and fled to Lijing Village with tears in his eyes. He knocked his head on the ground and drew blood, and finally entered the Li family.

At this time, every household in Lijing Village was filled with fellow villagers who had fled a few days ago. Some people tried to attack large households, but were beaten to death by tenants who were fellow villagers a few days ago. More people had no choice but to rush towards Dali Mountain.

Three months later, people slowly came back. No one dared to mention that day, and no one dared to mention how the more than 100 people who stayed in the village survived. People silently buried the bodies that had been licked clean. After all, there were only about 300 people left in Lichuankou, which originally had a population of 1,400 from nearly 300 households.

Seeing the fire flashing in front of him, he suddenly woke up from his memories. Chen Erniu pushed away his second son Chen Qiushui who came to greet him. He raised the torch and looked at the bloody corpse lying on the ground with an empty head. Tears were streaming down his face and he was gnashing his teeth. The ground opened his mouth and said:

"Who is this?"

"Old Ye from the village."

Chen Qiushui looked at the tears on his father's face, feeling uneasy and replied in a low voice.

"Go and wake up the whole village, light a fire, and get knives and sticks."

Chen Erniu gave a low order, but saw a villager hurriedly coming from the village gate. When he saw him, he said:

"Master Chen, Master Chen! The master came to ask: Is there anything strange at Lichuan Pass?"

Chen Er Newton was stunned for a moment. He was horrified and filled with doubts. He thought:

"How can it be so fast from Lichuan to Lijing! If there is an informant in the village, the trip cannot be so fast. I am afraid that the person in the village will die, and the master will know about it, and there should be some means to deal with that person monster."

The frowned eyebrows suddenly relaxed. Chen Erniu felt much relieved and answered loudly:

"The village is afraid that there is a monster worshiping, so we have sent people to inform the master!"

Li Xiangping silently looked at the blue-grey mirror on the stage. The broken mirror seemed to have recovered slightly compared to when he picked it up when he was a child, but it still looked like it could be broken at any time. A faint silvery white light radiated from the mirror. It looks quite dreamy.

"How long has that person been there?"

"It's been a quarter of an hour."

Li Tongya looked out the window anxiously, put down the wooden slips in his hand, and said again:

"I'm going to go out when it's time. I'm afraid those people won't be able to see us and will break the rules and come to the backyard."

"Walk!"

Li Xiangping looked at Li Xuanxuan who was sitting cross-legged and said in a deep voice.

As soon as they came out of the backyard, they saw Li Yesheng walking around in the main courtyard like an ant on a hot pot. When they saw Li Tongya, their eyes suddenly lit up and they said quickly:

"Li Chuanguo sent someone here, saying that someone's brain was ripped out!"

"Did you dig out your brains?"

Li Xiangping was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Tongya and said:

"I'm afraid there's a monster."

"good."

Li Tongya nodded solemnly, thought for a few moments, and said in a deep voice:

"The monster retreated after digging out its brains. It should still be afraid of people. Its cultivation level is not too high. It must still be in the embryonic breath state. If it is the Qi training period, it can kill the entire village and leave in the mist."

"I gonna go see!"

Li Xiangping pondered for a few moments, frowned slightly, and said to Li Yesheng:

"Call the strong men in the village and bring weapons."

"yes!"

Li Yesheng responded a few times and went down quickly. Seeing Li Yesheng walking away, Li Tongya frowned and said:

"I don't know how deep that monster is, you and I shouldn't go there."

"If I don't go today, the prestige that my Li family has worked so hard to build among these villages will be completely destroyed. I have to go!"

"Second brother, you stay on guard on the mountain while I go to investigate. You know my temper and won't take risks."

"Even if something goes wrong, my Li family still has you here. The worst we can do is give up on Lichuan Pass and ask for help from within the sect."

After saying that, Li Xiangping nodded towards Li Tongya, took his bow and arrows, put on his tawny rattan clothes, and hurried down the mountain.
