Chapter 1758

Just kidding, this was also their property, how could it be left to the people of unknown origin on Companion Hill?

For a time, people chasing pigs and pulling sheep were bustling. Especially in the rush, it was not easy to catch chickens. He Lingchuan saw in several courtyards that adults and children were chasing hens all over the place, with chicken feathers flying everywhere and dogs barking, which actually added a touch of comedy to such a terrifying moment. He Lingchuan immediately said: "Bring Luo Xie here, I have a task for him."

Since Luo Xie was the deputy guard of the spiritual crystal mine, he should be very familiar with the mine cave.

But before the words fell, Elder Liu let out an "eh."

"What?"

"Old Man Luo is back." Elder Liu pointed to a figure who had just entered the village from the side, "The one in the blue cloth shirt with a shiny bald head is him."

The keeper of the Pengqi is here?

Everyone looked down and saw that a thin, dry old man was indeed walking quickly from behind the village. Villagers greeted him along the way, and he nodded without looking sideways, his feet not stopping.

Luo Xie also greeted him: "Grandfather, why are you here? Where is Axiang?"

The younger brother is still small; did the grandfather leave him alone at home? He Lingchuan's heart moved, and he pointed to the grandfather and grandson: "Can you let me hear their conversation?"

The village was too noisy, the distance was far, and the old man's voice was naturally weak, so he could at most hear a few words carried by the wind.

Elder Liu nodded and made a gesture, and the conversation between the two suddenly sounded in the ears of He Lingchuan and the others, which could be called high-definition without noise!

"I entrusted someone to take care of him." This was Old Man Luo's voice, with the hoarseness of an old man, "The village is too chaotic. You help me get a few dozen chicks; I want to lure the Pengqi away and cannot let it stay nearby."

The enemy's barrier had been spreading and would soon wrap around Yu Village; the Pengqi could not be allowed to show its face here.

"Yes." Luo Xie also knew that his grandfather's task was important, so he hurriedly turned back to call his subordinates to collect chicks. At this time, everyone was busy moving, and there were sporadic chicks running around in many courtyards.

The guard team collected them house by house, and the owners could no longer care, waving their hands to let them catch them themselves.

Luo Xie was not at ease and asked his grandfather again: "The barrier on Companion Hill will soon shroud Yu Village. I will send someone to pick up my younger brother first. Who did you entrust Axiang to?"

His younger brother was only six years old, and the house stood alone outside the village without neighbors. His grandfather had to go out to handle affairs, so he must have entrusted his younger brother to someone else's house. But the problem was, now everyone inside and outside the village was fleeing, who could carefully look after his younger brother? It was safest to keep him by his side.

Just then, a couple of villagers ran over. Old Man Luo stepped aside to make way for them, and then said: "Oh, still the old place."

"At Aunt Liu's house?" Luo Xie was busy with work, and Old Man Luo also had to go out frequently, so the child was often entrusted to Aunt Liu in the neighboring village to look after.

"Yes." Old Man Luo looked at the chaos in the village and changed the subject, "It's already settled, you don't have to worry. Are you evacuating the people in the village?"

"Yes." Luo Xie frowned. His grandfather gave a question, but the tone was not as rich as usual.

Old Man Luo usually coaxed his grandson and the Pengqi, often speaking with a smiling, pinched voice, and the intonation practiced over the years was varied, which would also be inadvertently revealed when facing his eldest grandson.

"Where are you taking the Pengqi?"

"Wind God Temple." Old Man Luo said, "Spiritual crystals cannot be left to the Heavenly Demons."

He Lingchuan's heart moved as he listened, and he exchanged glances with Dong Rui.

The people of Yu Village only saw the lighthouse and did not know exactly what had happened in the Inverted Sea, which was also a common question among the residents of Silver Pearl Island. But as soon as Old Man Luo came, he accurately called out the title of "Heavenly Demon." Did the Phantom Sect tell him?

Sure enough, Luo Xie was also startled: "Heavenly Demon? Is that an invading enemy from outside?"

Before this, he only knew that the only natural enemy of the residents of Silver Pearl Island was the Yaksha.

Old Man Luo gave a vague response, coughed up a mouthful of thick phlegm from his throat, and spat it on the ground.

Luo Xie was probably also curious, and while greeting two households of villagers to leave quickly, he asked him: "Did the Immortal say what that thing is? How does it compare to a Yaksha?"

"Very powerful, more powerful than a Yaksha, and can fight an immortal to a draw."

Old Man Luo's voice was not so straightforward, but Luo Xie felt it was even stranger, because ever since he was accepted into the Phantom Sect, his grandfather had been more devout to the Wind God and the Immortal Sect, burning incense and paying respects three times a day, and always calling them "Immortal Venerable" and "Immortal Saint." Now why would he call them "immortal" plainly? But he looked at his grandfather; his eyebrows and eyes had not changed, and the blue cloth clothes he often wore were still the same one, washed until white and patched.

The situation was critical, and Elder Liu on the hillside was impatient to watch them chat as grandfather and grandson, and was about to use supernatural power to transmit sound to Luo Xie, but was stopped by He Lingchuan raising his hand.

"Elder, wait, watch first."

Elder Liu had seen his ability, so he suppressed his temper, but from time to time he looked at the lighthouse on Companion Hill.

This lighthouse was growing so fast; if it continued like this, it would cover the mining area.

Fortunately, the guard team was also quite capable, and they finally gathered twenty-six or twenty-seven live chicks, put them in two small bamboo baskets, and sent them over to Old Man Luo.

"Grandfather, where are you going to call out the Pengqi?"

Summoning the Pengqi and letting it send all the ore to the Wind God Temple would complete the matter.

Old Man Luo opened his mouth, but his voice was half a beat slow: "I'll find a place at random; it doesn't like crowds and strangers."

The Pengqi was indeed a very reclusive monster, so Luo Xie said: "I'll go with you."

He could feel the murderous intent lurking all around; how could he be at ease letting his grandfather walk the night road alone at this time? Old Man Luo pointed to the village: "Are you not going to manage them?"

"Someone is managing them. They are only going to Dong Village, which is very close."

Old Man Luo gave an "en" sound: "Okay, let's go."

He Lingchuan saw this, his gaze moved slightly, and he suddenly asked the Phantom Sect disciple on the side: "Which of you is acquainted with Luo Xie?"

A disciple named Pu Lu stood out: "He is a good friend of my son and often comes to my house to play."

"You take two more people and go find him now." He Lingchuan whispered a few words to them, and the three nodded and quickly jumped down the hillside.

He Lingchuan pointed to a few more people to go to the nearby dark place to prepare for support.

On that side, Luo Xie instructed his subordinates to look after the villagers on the road, and then went to pick up the basket of chicks in Old Man Luo's hand: "I'll help you carry it."

"No need." Old Man Luo avoided his hand, "I'm not that old yet."

After speaking, he turned his head and entered the mountain forest. The forest was pitch black, with only a few strands of moonlight leaking from the treetops.

Luo Xie hurriedly followed.

Old Man Luo turned his head and looked at him: "Hurry up."

Too much time had been delayed; get away from the crowd as soon as possible and find a secluded place.

Luo Xie was about to rush to the front to open the way for him, when the jungle rustled, and a figure flashed.

He was startled and pressed his hand on the hilt of his blade: "Who!"

Three people appeared in front, and the leader stood under the moonlight; it was a familiar face.
