Chapter 34: Strange Things Happened During the Night in the Mountain Village

After buying the horses, Gu Nantian prepared the goods and everyone set off. Although the journey would be relatively peaceful, the caravan could not be careless. The Gu brothers and sisters still carefully observed the surrounding situation along the way.

The horse Luo Ling bought was very good. It ran very fast, had enough strength, and was very obedient. Luo Ling named it "Xiao Bai". Gu Nanxin laughed at Luo Ling for not having a talent for naming. Should the black one be called Xiao Hei? Even the white horse shook its head. In the end, Luo Ling changed its name to "Xiao Fei". No one said anything.

The journey was safe. In the evening, we walked into a village. Since we started from Fangma Town, we usually need to stay overnight in this village. Otherwise, the road safety will be much worse if we travel overnight. This also led to the establishment of an inn in this village for passers-by to rest. However, the inn in the village is still worse than that in the town, whether in terms of food or accommodation conditions.

As soon as we arrived at the door of the inn, we found that there were very few people. As it was not dark yet, everyone quickly put the goods in the backyard of the inn and ate in batches. But as soon as it got dark, the shopkeeper ordered the waiter to close the door quickly, with a look of nervousness and fear on his face.

A young man named Gu Xuan from the Gu Family Caravan called the store owner over and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, what's going on? I've stayed at your store before, and I've never seen it close so quickly at night."

The innkeeper came over cautiously, looking around from time to time. He came over and said, "My dear guest, you don't know that there have been strange incidents in our Shantou Village recently. Some people say that they see things they shouldn't see at night."

When the shopkeeper said this, everyone gathered around. The shopkeeper said softly, "It started from the day before yesterday. Every night, there was a lot of fog in the village. Then when everyone woke up the next day, they found that some people's chickens and ducks were dead. And the deaths were very strange. There was no blood at all."

Luo Ling suddenly said: "I have dealt with a yellow-skinned guy in our town before. He liked to kill some poultry. And after this yellow-skinned guy farted, people would have hallucinations."

The shopkeeper glanced at Luo Ling and said, "Your Excellency is indeed very knowledgeable. However, there are not only chickens and ducks, but also cattle and horses. The yellow-skinned man will not attack these large animals."

Gu Nantian asked: "What is that? Did you see it clearly?"

The shopkeeper sighed, then said: "At the beginning, the village organized people to hunt and kill it, but when people walked inside, they couldn't see it because it was all foggy and they couldn't find it at all. Fortunately, no one was hurt now, but no one can say what will happen in the future." After saying this, he looked worried.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nantian ordered everyone to eat quickly, because they still had to watch over the horses at night. If the caravan lost its horses, it would not be able to transport the goods. Everyone ate quickly, and after eating, they went to check on the goods and horses in batches. At first, Luo Ling was not assigned anything, but Luo Ling still volunteered to watch over the second half of the night.

After returning to the inn, Luo Ling practiced his mental skills and began to nourish his meridians. Suddenly, he heard a loud and powerful scream from "Xiao Fei". Luo Ling jumped directly from the window to the backyard and saw that the backyard had been covered with fog. The servants of the Gu family kept walking around to inspect, but they did not find anything unusual. Luo Ling hurried to "Xiao Fei", stroked his neck, and kept comforting him.

At this time, Gu Nantian also came over and asked, "What's going on?"

Luo Ling: "I don't know. Xiao Fei suddenly screamed just now, and I felt that it must have discovered something. But I looked around and didn't find anything. Did Brother Gu find anything?"

Gu Nantian shook his head. The fog was getting thicker. Everyone could only gather in a circle, their faces and movements were very nervous. At this time, "Xiao Fei" screamed a few more times. Gu Nantian shouted loudly: "Everyone, pay attention to safety, stand back to back, gather in a circle, and don't attack randomly."

Luo Ling suddenly remembered that with such a thick fog, he wondered if the Qi-gazing technique would work. He quickly used the Qi-gazing technique and saw human-shaped gas gathered together. It turned out that these were the people. Then he looked over and saw that the horses were actually horse-shaped gas. Suddenly, he found that on the wall, there was an animal the size of a good dog squatting, and it was constantly spitting out fog from its mouth. Luo Ling hurriedly said, "Who can give me the sword?" Hearing this voice, an ancient servant next to him immediately handed the sword in his hand to Luo Ling and said, "Mr. Luo, take my sword." Luo Ling took the sword and walked to the wall with a wind-chasing step. Seeing that the strange shadow had not left yet, he jumped up and used the sword "Fresh Breeze on the Face". A breeze blew up, and everyone immediately saw an animal squatting on the wall that looked a bit like a dog but had horns. Seeing that Luo Ling's sword was about to chop, he dodged sideways and then slashed forward with his claws. Luo Ling felt a sharp cold wind coming towards him, and quickly raised his sword to block it. With a "clang", the sword in Luo Ling's hand broke directly. Luo Ling reacted quickly, picked up the broken sword, used his internal strength, and threw it out. With a flash of cold light, the broken sword flew out. Before the monster could react, it was hit by the broken sword and fell directly from the wall.

At this time Gu Nantian also arrived. Luo Ling asked someone else to get a sword, and immediately jumped over the wall with Gu Nantian and chased after him.
