Chapter 140
: Accused of crime
With the punches and kicks, Zhu Ruowei also endured it silently.
At this moment, the small village had no more evil spirits than before. The night that should have been quiet was only a few curses, washing away the instinctive smiles.
Under the cold and frosty night, Gu San's expression was very satisfied, but Feng Yihuang, who was standing beside him, turned his back, neither looking nor listening.
Many villagers found that there were no strange images around them, and their courage gradually became stronger. Several heads quietly looked to the origin of the sound along the night.
With the moonlight, they were amazed at the traces left on the ground, but what was even more difficult to move in their eyes was the person surrounded.
Seeing someone peeking at the head, Gu San turned his eyes and just spoke in the direction of those people.
"If you want to see, you can see that this person is the location of the disaster star. He previously stopped our brothers and brothers from investigating the strange things that happened there. Today, he appeared here again. I guess he was planning some strange way to eat people."
Speaking of this, those peeping people also seemed to have received some invitation and became much more courageous.
"Everyone stop!"
With his wave of hands, the disciples of Qianxuanmen stopped to turn their heads and looked at Gu San, and then listened to the other party's continued preaching.
"Our Qianxuanmen has always been concerned about the important affairs of the world. Since we are here today, we will not let you go of such treacherous villains. You can lead everyone in the village to witness it. Today, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Although the villagers didn't know the specifics, they thought that the other party had already solved the disaster for the village tonight. Now they said that this person was a disaster, so they would not be wrong, so they went to greet other neighbors separately.
Zhu Ruowei could naturally hear the words, but seeing that he had been framed like this, he felt more and more angry. Thinking of this, he was about to get up.
But as soon as he moved, two hands pressed him down there. He wanted to exert force, but the pain on his back, which had been paralyzed by the cold, was mixed with a lot of tearing that made him unable to break free.
"Hey! Still want to escape? Today, let you know how great my grandfather is."
Gu San laughed while climbing footsteps that were gradually ringing from all directions.
Soon, the villagers besieged a circle in the city, and several torches would shine brightly everywhere. People were talking about the huge traces left on the ground. After all, no one could have imagined that with human power, the ground could be wiped out directly.
As for Zhu Ruowei, who was trapped in it by Qianxuanmen and others, everyone lowered their voices and said something as much as possible.
"Hey, so young! It seems different from the one who found dead just now."
"Who said no, but there is no need for such people to care about their age or appearance. After all, they are all things that can eat people."
"Why do I think this kid doesn't look like a bad guy?"
Hearing the words of the villagers beside him, another thinner person immediately spoke
"Who doesn't look like a good person? Do bad people write bad words on their faces?"
The villagers were talking nonstop, and no one could tell what was going on. Seeing that the people were almost gathering, Gu San couldn't help but beat a little, and he was secretly amazed in his heart that it was really due to the will of heaven.
Then waved his hand, calmed everyone's voices, and then said loudly
"Listen to me, this person is the thief we met outside Xinlin Town a few days ago. He was very cunning. He almost killed most of our people in the sect. I believe Xinlin Town "Everyone knows it, it is the place that turned into a ghost realm overnight!"
Speaking of Xinlin Town, the crowd was even more talkative, and many people couldn't help but point fingers at Zhu Ruo and argued fiercely for a low voice.
Suddenly, a figure walked out by the fire and soon came to Zhu Ruowei.
When people looked at the figure, they recognized that it was the village chief, and they saw the other party slowly approaching Zhu Ruowei, and then looked at his side face left and right.
"Child, please lift your face and show me?"
Zhu Ruowei listened to the voice, and was a little familiar. He couldn't help but look up and found that the village chief he had seen before was coming.
The other party looked at him, and then carefully observed some specific features of his appearance, as if he was looking for something.
"Are you the one who came here with another guy yesterday?"
When Zhu Ruowei heard this, he nodded quickly, hoping that the other party would remember something so as to excuse himself.
"I just said that it looks familiar, but have you followed those immortal masters to the direction of Jinjiling? Why are you the only one left here now? Where are they?"
When Zhu Ruowei heard this, he hurriedly told what he had experienced, but he didn't say anything yet. Gu San, who was beside him, spoke first.
"What's wrong with Jinjiling? It's just a trap for these two demons. The corpse we just saw on that side is the accomplice of the Demon Cult who had made a private trick with him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers were stunned and looked at Zhu Ruowei with a look of at a loss.
After hearing this false accusation, Zhu Ruowei could no longer bear it and said anxiously to the old man in front of him.
"Old man, don't listen to him. I'm not a demon at all. I'm a cultivator on Tianjian Mountain. This time I went down the mountain with my fellow disciples. I was going to go to Changqing Valley to seek medicine. I passed by Xinlin Town and then took a look here. I have never done anything that hurts the sky and harms the truth."
Hearing Zhu Ruowei's words, a villager asked
"You said that day, I also knew the approximate location of Jianshan. He only had to go west to Changqing Valley. How could he come to our poor southeastern place?"
As soon as one person finished speaking, the other person next to him continued
"I did see you yesterday, and there is another boy on the roof, but since you are going to Changqing Valley, why are you alone staying now? Where are the others going?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ruo hurriedly explained
"Our group came to Jinjiling and met a group of demons. After fighting with them, the two monks unfortunately died, and the four people in Changqing Valley... were finished, so they went back to the mountain gate."
Zhu Ruowei felt a little guilty at the end of the talk. This happened to be noticed by some people, so he listened to Gu San's continued
"You said that there were so many people going there, and you were the only one left. Who can testify? Could it be that you and those demons have murdered a group of people who are traveling with each other, and now you are here to make tricks!"
After sharply speaking, Zhu Ruo was panicked and quickly defended himself.
"Impossible, I'm definitely not that kind of person."
"No? Since it's not, why are you the only one here now? Since it's not, why are you turning back to this remote village in the middle way!"
"I!"
After an aggressive questioning, Zhu Ruo was really at a loss and unconsciously got confused.
"What are you? Didn't you know the secret of this place in advance and want to take the opportunity to seize the so-called treasure?"
As soon as this statement came out, people's discussion quietly went out. Everyone seemed to have accepted this idea, and there was no curiosity about the appearance, age and character of the person in front of them.
At this moment, the village chief in front of him had doubts in his eyes. Looking at his expression, the other party would never believe that the boy in front of him would be that kind of person. But when he thought of this, he noticed the reaction of the villagers around him, and his face was filled with sorrow, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Child, tell me honestly, do you agree with what they said?"
Zhu Ruo was willing to agree, and then hurriedly said
"I saw a piece of black smoke coiled on the top of the village and a red line running through it. I was worried about your safety, so I had to give up my friend and come alone!"
"Oh? After hearing what you said, are you still a good person?"
Gu San's tone was full of disdain and frivolity. At this moment, he seemed to be determined by the other party, and his mind was full of bad words, but his ultimate goal was to repay the humiliation and hatred of the day.
The village chief looked at Gu San's incorrect expression and secretly remembered in his heart that he had heard someone else say that there was something unhealthy in the Qianxuan Gate earlier. What he saw now was also true. But after all, he had just escaped from the disaster and was all dependent on the other party's ability. He was not able to say anything, so he had to continue asking.
"Then why did you come to our small mountain village at this time!"
Upon hearing this question, Zhu Ruo remembered what he talked about when he talked with Yuan Suiyun many times. Although he had never had any concepts or ideas about the place of birth, he couldn't help but mention it again and again. In addition, he happened to be on the way, so he didn't care much when the other party asked this question when he set off that day.
But who would have thought that such a variable would arise was unexpected.
