Rebirth of Yao Yutian

"...Could it be that the villagers chose to leave the village because of the appearance of the demon spirit?" Yao Xuan thought for a while and then vetoed it on his own, "But it shouldn't be. In such a situation, Mengjia Village is so far away from Fengshanzong. Recently, it is impossible for them to know that the Fengshan sect has colluded with the demons, so they should go to the Fengshan sect or the county guard for help, right?"

Lin Baiyu said: "Perhaps they asked for help, but instead led wolves into the house?"

"It's not impossible."

It's just that Yao Xuan couldn't understand this anyway, "Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. This Mengjia Village is so close to Fengshanzong, so attacking Mengjia Village... Isn't Fengshanzong's behavior too crazy?"

Lin Baiyu said: "Has the Fengshan sect ever been honest?"

Thinking of Fengshanzong going to challenge Taiyuzong at every turn, and thinking that Fengshanzong seemed to want to make a demon king, Yao Xuan agreed with it: "It's no wonder we can't understand a group of people who have never been right. .”

The two walked around the entire Mengjia Village. Except for the corpses they found at the beginning, the village is now empty. Apart from the two of them, there is no living thing.The two searched around, but found nothing special.

If there was a demon spirit here, it must have been a while, because according to the longevity pattern vampire bat, the breath of the demon spirit is extremely weak, and no one else can distinguish it.

But when the two went back to check the corpses, Yao Xuan and Lin Baiyu made new discoveries.

"Brother! These are all female corpses, except for those children, none of them are male!"

Yao Xuan noticed that almost all the villagers who died were female, and logically speaking, they were not from these families.

And most of them are either old people or young children, and none of them are young or middle-aged.

"Could it be that the devil kills people selectively?" Yao Xuan frowned, "There must be someone behind the devil."

Lin Baiyu agreed with his deduction, "Well, it's probably the Fengshan sect."

Yao Xuan tapped his chin: "It's just...if it's Fengshan Sect, what's the purpose of doing this?"

Lin Baiyu said: "It's hard to say now, aren't there other villages nearby, why don't we check them all?" Anyway, there is a phoenix flame sparrow for transportation, so it won't take much time to find out all of them.

It was already evening at this time, and the winter sky had long since darkened, with gusts of bitter cold wind blowing, but there were very few things that disturbed the birds, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.

In the dim night, the mountains not far away look more like a monster that chooses to eat people.

The two inspected three villages in a row. The first and second villages seemed quite peaceful, with candles flickering in some houses, but the third village was exactly the same as Mengjia Village!

Probably because of the more remote location of this village, the dead village women and children have decayed out of shape, and they have never been discovered.

Just like in Mengjia Village, Yao and Xuan buried these villagers nearby after inspecting them.

When Yao Xuan and Lin Baiyu went to the fourth nearby village, before the Phoenix Feather Flame Sparrow reached the destination, Yao Xuan said "huh?", and Lin Baiyu subconsciously stopped the demon pet from flying, "Junior Brother, but there is what is the problem?"

"Look." Yao Xuan found that his eyesight seemed to be much better than that of Lin Baiyu. He pointed to the village ahead, "There seem to be many people there."

Lin Baiyu carefully identified it before finally seeing it clearly. Sure enough, as the younger brother said, there were many people gathered at the entrance of this village.

The two looked at each other, and Yao Xuan said, "Let's go quietly."

It's just that if you want to approach quietly, you can't use the Phoenix Feather Flame Sparrow anymore.Yao Xuan and Lin Baiyu landed, walked carefully through the forest, and finally fell outside the village entrance, looking forward.

The torches were lit there, and the people in the village were probably gathered here. From the figure, it can be seen that there are both adults and children, both men and women.

In front of this group of villagers, I can vaguely see a few more people, dressed in...

Yao Xuan narrowed his eyes: "That's a disciple of Fengshan Sect."

These people were clearly wearing the robes that disciples of Fengshan Sect often wear, their identities are self-evident.

Lin Baiyu said: "Well, it is indeed a disciple of Fengshan Sect."

What Yao Xuan didn't understand was: "What are they doing here? Could it be that Fengshan Sect really did something to these villagers as we guessed?"

Lin Baiyu observed for a while and said: "It seems that he is not trying to kill them, but to take them away."

"Take it away?" Yao Xuan was puzzled, "Even if it is Fengshan Sect, are these people useful to them?"

Lin Baiyu said: "Who knows, I'm afraid the answer to this question can only be asked by Fengshanzong."

In order to hear it more clearly, the two took Yao Xuan's prepared breath-relieving pills, and moved closer to that side lightly.

Fortunately, these Fengshan Sect disciples seemed to be outer disciples, and they were not aware of their existence at all, but continued to talk.

After hearing what the disciples of Fengshan Sect said, Yao Xuan realized that they were here to collect handymen.

Yao Xuan was even more puzzled in his heart. You must know that the sect's collection of handymen is something that is enough to honor the ancestors for ordinary people!

For example, many servants of the Taiyu Sect wished to stay in the sect for a while when the time limit came. Even when they were selected, many people would try their best to give gifts to the deacons in order to get a spot.

But here, why do these villagers seem unwilling at all?

Also, if these villagers disappeared because they went to work as handymen, the population of one village may not be too large, but two villages would be more. Now it seems that there are at least three villages, and there may be more.

There are so many chores... and so many chores are updated at once...

No matter how you think about it, it makes people feel very strange, Yao Xuan touched his chin.

At least during the time of Taiyuzong, the handymen on Shijue Peak would only be replaced on a small scale every five years or so, and the number was very small.

Yao Xuan was silent for a while, then turned to look at him: "Brother, what should we do now? Should we continue to investigate, or go back and tell Elder He?"

Seeing his bright eyes, Lin Baiyu couldn't help feeling a little helpless: "Junior brother, do you have any other ideas?"

Yao Xuan smiled embarrassedly: "Brother, you found out, yes, I thought of an idea, maybe we can find more clues."

Then he clung to Lin Baiyu's ear and whispered this plan.

For a while, Lin Baiyu could hardly concentrate on what he was saying - because the warm breath of his younger brother was sprayed in his ears, which made him uncontrollably distracted.

But soon, he was attracted by the content of Yao Xuan's speech.

"How is it, brother?" After speaking, Yao Xuan stared at him closely.

Lin Baiyu said: "It is indeed possible to get clues if you go deep into the tiger's den, but there is also a great possibility of encountering danger."

Yao Xuandao: "But how can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den? Besides, you have to believe me, it will definitely make us both look different."

Lin Baiyu said: "I have to see the effect before making a decision."

Yao Xuandao: "No problem."

When Yao Xuan took out some things that had already been prepared in the storage belt, and began to smear on Lin Baiyu's face, and even used many objects like mud, Lin Baiyu's heart was a little drumming: "Junior Brother... "

"Hush!" Yao Xuan didn't want to talk to him at this time, "Brother, don't move! Don't make a sound!"

It was the first time seeing a junior like this - Lin Baiyu could only quietly wait for his operation to finish.

But after Yao Xuan said: "Okay." After that, Lin Baiyu was surprised when he saw a young man with a bronze square face and thick eyebrows and big eyes in the water mirror condensed by Xue Yinhe. I could hardly believe my eyes.

"Junior brother...this...this is me?" Although he knew that there was a disguise technique, he never thought that his junior brother was so good at it.

Yao Xuan smiled and said, "Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

Lin Baiyu touched his cheekbones first, then his chin, and made a few more movements, "It seems that you really can't recognize it?"

Yao Xuan pursed his lips, as if he was not very happy about his doubts, "I said it all, I will definitely make you unrecognizable." Then he asked again, "Brother, you said we can't do it now? Do it?"

"This plan is feasible." After thinking for a while, Lin Baiyu agreed, "Young brother's craftsmanship is indeed amazing. If I come to recognize it, I will definitely not recognize that the person who appears in this appearance is the same person as myself."

Yao Xuandao: "It's not that exaggerated. It is absolutely impossible to deceive the venerable, but the possibility of us meeting the venerable is also very small. By the way, brother, you should pay attention to your body, just slump your shoulders a little, Pay a little attention to your usual walking posture. Change your eyes too, to look like an ordinary villager! Oh, and also, the color of the skin on your brother’s body should also change, I’ll make some medicinal soup for you right away, find a place Brother soak it for a quarter of an hour, and you're done."

And when Lin Baiyu soaked the medicinal soup to change his skin color, Yao Xuan also changed his appearance.

With slender eyebrows and eyes, his complexion was slightly red, as if he had been exposed to too much sun while working.His palms were very rough, so he thickened his physique a little more, and took care of himself. Yao Xuan also mixed the medicinal soup to soak his body.

When everything was ready, the disciples of Fengshan Sect over there had finished speaking. They dispersed the villagers and set up camp at the entrance of the village, probably to prevent people from escaping.It seemed that they planned to bring these new handymen back to the sect the next day.

Yao Xuan and Lin Baiyu sneaked into the village without a sound, and with the help of the red-eyed four-tailed mastiff, they found the residence of the brothers they had been eyeing before.

When they entered the room, they were startled by the two brothers who were sitting with sad faces, and were immediately restrained by the demon pet, unable to move.

"If you don't make a sound, I'll let them let you go." Seeing that they were terrified, Yao Xuan said hastily.

The elder brother looked at them suspiciously and warily all the time, but the younger brother beside him pulled him and nodded towards Yao Xuan.

The demon pets let go of the two, and the younger brother said: "I don't know where the two come from, what's the point of coming here?"

He sounded like a scholar, Yao Xuandao: "I would like to ask, why are you all unwilling to be handymen? Is it not good to be a handyman for the sect?"

The younger brother smiled wryly and said: "Actually, in the past, we were still very willing to do it. Not to mention anything else, the silver taels accumulated over the past few years may be enough for us to spend our whole life. But the recent period has been a bit strange, so We will..."

Yao Xuan blinked: "Strange?"

"Yes, in the past few months, the Fengshan Sect has come to recruit handymen many times. Moreover, there were news from the handyman in the past ten and a half months, but now there is no news at all."

"Then you can't go?"

The younger brother showed a look of fear on his face: "No one dares, because as soon as they come... just..."

At this time, his elder brother grabbed him, patted him on the back as a comfort, and said in a low voice: "Many aunts and children in the village were killed by them, and the way they died was terrible. Now no one dares to resist, for fear of falling into danger." Same end."

Yao Xuan thought of the corpse he had seen in Mengjia Village, and he felt a sense of clarity in his heart.He looked at them, winked at Lin Baiyu again, and said, "I have an idea that can save you from this disaster."
