Chapter 20: There is a ghost in the team
An Chen was shocked. The little girl's words caused a stir in his heart. Who was that person? Why did he kill all the people in Xifeng Village? The most important thing was who issued this mission? What was his purpose?
A series of question marks made An Chen look solemn, and he seemed to feel that he had fallen into a trap.
Even your every word and deed along the way may be known to others!
After thinking for a long time, he asked: "What's your name?"
"Zeng Ke'er." The little girl replied slowly.
"Do you know the man who massacred the village?"
"I don't know him, but I remember the face and voice of that evil man. I think I will never forget it in my life."
An Chen nodded, but his brows did not relax at all. This information was not helpful to the current situation.
"That's right." Zeng Ke'er suddenly said: "I remember that man was using a long sword. When he was fighting with Xiaobi that day, the last move he used was like a flower blooming with five petals. The bright light was dazzling, and my eyes were blinded.
He was the one who was blinded by it."
An Chen sighed and said: "Based on this alone, there is no way to find the person you are talking about."
After listening to this, Zeng Keer's expression showed a hint of dejection, thinking that God is also confused, and there is no time when good and evil are rewarded.
An Chen looked at the little girl's expression and couldn't bear it in his heart. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I have remembered everything you said. If given the chance, I will definitely help you find your enemy and seek justice for you and Xifeng Village.
"
"Really?" Zeng Keer couldn't help but burst into tears. Over the past few days, she would dream about the scene of the villagers being massacred every night. The bloody scene made her wake up from her dreams countless times. If it weren't for the green snake who has been guarding her,
, she may have committed suicide a long time ago.
"Yeah." An Chen responded softly. There was also a sense of sympathy in his heart. How similar was Zeng Ke'er to him?
They are all homeless people!
But at least she still has a hope! And what about her? I’m afraid she will never have such an opportunity again in this life!
——Hiss!!
Just when An Chen and Zeng Ke'er were feeling sad, the voice of confiding in the letter reached their ears.
Zeng Ke'er stroked the head of the green snake with her hands and put her face on its head, as if doing so could make her feel less sad.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Suddenly, Zeng Keer asked in surprise.
When An Chen heard this, he looked at Zeng Keer with doubtful eyes, knowing that he had not spoken just now.
Zeng Keer seemed to feel the strange gaze of the young man and explained: "We, the people of Xifeng Village, can communicate with Xiaobi by relying on the green snake totem on our body."
An Chen was refreshed. There was no lack of communication with beasts in the world of cultivation, but most of them were spiritual pets or had cultivated to the realm of gods, and could give birth to monsters whose consciousness could understand human language and communicate.
And this Jade Spirit Snake has obviously not reached the realm of gods, and Zeng Keer is also a real mortal, so there must be something special about the totem mark of Xifeng Village.
An Chen asked doubtfully: "Did you have this jade snake totem from birth?"
Zeng Keer shook his head and said: "No, the totem mark of our village is pierced into the skin by the village's sacrifice at birth, and it must be executed by the sacrifice himself in order to communicate with Xiaobi."
After hearing this, An Chen fell into deep thought. Did the man who massacred Xifeng Village want to obtain the secret of this totem's ability? But what did he want this ability to do?
An Chen was puzzled and finally gave up and asked, "By the way, what news did the Green Snake tell you just now?"
"This..." Zeng Ke'er hesitated.
When An Chen saw this, he didn't ask further questions. If Zeng Keer didn't trust him, then everything would be just smoke and mirrors. He wouldn't be able to get any useful information.
"I think I should trust you." Zeng Ke'er pursed her lips, as if she had made a great decision, and said, "Xiao Bi told me that it sensed the aura of the evil person among you people!"
--boom!
An Chen's mind went blank, and he even breathed a little faster!
"Are you sure?" An Chen asked with a solemn expression.
"Xiao Bi never lies. In fact, his IQ is probably only equivalent to that of a three- to four-year-old human child."
After listening to Zeng Keer's words, An Chen fell into silence for a while.
If what she said is true, then who is it? You must know that even Tan Xing and Yu Xiao, who are in the bone refining realm, cannot seriously hurt the Jade Spirit Snake in its heyday, let alone Yang Shi and Dynasty!
Could it be the person behind one of them?
When An Chen thought of this, he suddenly realized that if this was the case, it would make sense. But even so, he had to seize the clues and follow the clues. Now he could only try to find out the details of these four people.
"What are you thinking about?" Zeng Ke'er asked after hearing the silence around her.
An Chen said: "It's nothing. No matter what, I still hope you can live well. And this big guy, I believe you will rebuild the village one day."
"Well, thank you."
Zeng Keer felt a warmth emerge in her heart. This was the first person who could comfort her after the village was massacred.
"Okay!" An Chen stood up and stretched his body, "I have to go back now. If a few of my fellow disciples insist on causing trouble for this big guy, it will be really troublesome."
Zeng Keer nodded.
Then An Chen took out some healing medicines from his body to heal the Bi Ling Snake, and after giving a few more instructions, he left the depths of Mopan Mountain.
…
At this time, the sky had gradually turned dark. At the foot of Mopan Mountain, a bonfire was as dazzling as a star in the dark night sky.
The four of them, Tan Xing and others, were surrounding the bonfire with different expressions.
Yu Xiao said: "Brother, this beast is hiding in the mountains and can't come out. What should we do?"
Tan Xing frowned and said: "What else can I do! I have to venture into the depths of Mopan Mountain to give it a try. Otherwise, I can't afford to lose this person just by returning to the sect like this!"
Tan Xing then looked at Chao Chao and Yang Shi and said, "What do you two junior brothers think?"
Yang Shi said: "From what I heard from my two senior brothers, I, Yang Shi, am alone in my family, so I don't have that much to worry about."
Chao Chao also smiled and said, "My dynasty has never been afraid of anything! If I could kill that beast and seek justice for the people of Xifeng Village and earn a sect contribution at the same time, why not do it?"
?”
Tan Xing nodded and said: "Since everyone has the same idea, we will go into the mountain together tomorrow. If the body of Junior Brother An Chen is found on the mountain, I hope you can bury it safely."
When Tan Xing mentioned An Chen, everyone else's expressions did not change, but Yang Shi's expression turned gloomy, as if he could not let go of An Chen's death.
Chao Chao said: "I didn't expect that our outer disciple who is number one on the strength list is actually a hypocritical master."
After hearing this, Yang Shi's mouth sank, "Life is at stake, how can you speak like this?"
Chao Chao Buqi smiled and said, "If you have a temper, you can pick up your sword and fight up the mountain. Why bother pretending to be benevolent and righteous here!"
"You!" Yang Shi glared angrily, and his whole body was filled with aura, as if he was going to take action if he disagreed with him.
"You really think I'm afraid of you!" Chao Chao also sneered, and the same momentum swept away, causing the bonfire to swing left and right between the two momentums.
"alright!"
Just when the two of them were at war with each other, Tan Xing spoke. A breath of cultivation in the bone refining realm rushed over and wiped out the breath of Yang Shi and Dynasty in an instant!
"There is no need to mention this matter again. We should work together to kill that beast and avenge the villagers and Junior Brother An Chen."
After hearing this, Yang Shi and Chao Chao knew that this fight could not be fought, so they immediately calmed down their momentum.
"Who said I was dead!"
Suddenly, a voice broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere. The four people were startled, and the swords in their hands were pointed directly in the direction from which the voice came.
"It's me! It's me! Don't do anything!" An Chen walked out slowly, raising his hands, looking harmless.
When everyone looked at him, their eyes showed disbelief.
"Junior Brother An Chen, you're not dead?" Tan Xing said in surprise.
"Senior Brother Tan, you don't seem to want me to live?" An Chen said helplessly, twitching the corner of his mouth.
"No, no." Tan Xing waved his hands repeatedly, "I really can't imagine that you can escape from the mouth of the Green Snake. You know, we saw you being swallowed by the Green Snake with our own eyes."
An Chen smiled, walked to the bonfire and stretched out his hands to keep warm, and then pulled out the things he encountered.
However, he deliberately concealed some information, and only told Tan Xing and the others the hiding place of the green snake. The reason why he was able to escape was because the snake was seriously injured and had not recovered, so he was caught and had the opportunity to escape.
During the conversation, An Chen's eyes were clear, as if he wanted to see any change in expression on everyone's face.
But to his regret, he didn't see anything.
After the five people talked, Tan Xing and Yu Xiao retreated to the tent to rest.
Wang Chao was sitting in front of the carriage meditating, and the faint spiritual energy around him surged towards his body.
At this time, only Yang Shi and An Chen were left.
"It seems you didn't tell the truth." Yang Shi said calmly while looking at the bonfire.
An Chen's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "How can you see that?"
Yang Shi smiled and said, "Intuition!"
An Chen smiled faintly, "It seems that your intuition has always been inaccurate."
Yang Shi shrugged, "It doesn't matter, as long as you live."
"Thank you!" An Chen said.
In the previous battle, he heard Yang Shi's voice reminding him, which gave him time to use his sword to save his life, which was considered a favor.
Yang Shi smiled and sat down cross-legged, meditating like a dynasty.
When An Chen saw the two of them, he immediately smiled bitterly and murmured.
