Chapter 3 The Legend of the Night Devil

"Old man, you can speak official words? Then why didn't you say it early in the morning? I was almost burned to death by them, and there were arrows on my shoulder..."

I looked down at the arrow wound on my shoulder, and I grinned and screamed in pain. Because the injuries on my body were already so painful that I couldn't speak, and the arrow wound was swollen, so I didn't feel too much pain. However, when I focused on it, it still hurts!

"Haha! The arrow shot by Yale, the archer of our royal family, is unique in his archery skills. We know that he will not hurt you. Let me see... Well, it's just a little skin injury. Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

The old man helped me slowly remove the rope with a little apology, and I sat on the ground.

"Old man, why is your village so troubled?"

I frowned and rubbed the sore parts of my body with one hand, but when I accidentally touched the arrow wound, I immediately moaned twice.

"Foreigners, this is not a place to talk. If the night demon wizard discovers, our village will be in big trouble. Come and go to my house and I will bandage your wounds for you."

The old man sincerely invited me, but I was confused. What is the wizard of the Night Demon? What is this place? Why are the people here so afraid of the wizard of the Night Demon? What is their relationship with the wizard of the Night Demon?

Also, where is my master? Where is this place? All the questions lingered deeply in my heart, making me at a loss. I had to follow the old man's footsteps and go to the interior of the village.

In front of the stone house, the old man finally stopped and said, "Foreigners, we have entered a safe area. The brave and warriors of the royal family are already protecting our safety. Let's go, this is my home."

"Uh... Old man, why didn't I see anyone?"

The old man said it was amazing. I looked around, but I didn't even see a mouse. Where can I protect the warriors?

"Haha! Just think about how they caught you before, and you will understand."

The old man smiled and shook his head, then walked into the yard.

"Yes! They are all hiding in the dark..."

I immediately followed the old man into the yard with a nervous expression, and then I felt a little relieved.

This is an extremely simple little house. After a while, the old man walked up to me with a rough stone bowl and said, "Foreigners, drink some water. After being tied up for so long, he was roasted by fire, he must be thirsty."

Looking at the old man's kind-hearted eyes, I did not hesitate and hurriedly took the big stone bowl and poured it into my stomach with big mouthfuls.

"Thank you, old man!"

Putting down the bowl, I respectfully bowed my fists and thanked the old man for the reception.

"You have to be welcome. I have been to the north in my early years, but the official language is not very smooth, so you don't need to say too much, sit down and rest. I'll find something to clean your wounds."

The old man waved his hand, turned around and walked into the inner room. After a while, he walked out with a small jar of wine and a piece of cloth.

First, I cleaned my wound with wine. I gritted my teeth and endured it. I wonder where the old man came from, but the strong wine was sprinkled on my wound like a knife.

"Okay, it's okay. This is our local unique medicinal wine. It can not only be drunk, but also promote blood circulation and disinfect. Can you drink alcohol?"

The old man looked at me with a smile. At this moment, I was already staring at the jar of medicinal wine, salivating.

"Very good, very good!"

I grinned.

The old man was not vague and immediately poured me a full bowl with the big stone bowl I had for water, and said, "Please drink it, this wine is strong, you outsiders may not be used to drinking it."

“…”

Before the old man finished speaking, I picked up the big stone bowl and poured it into my stomach in three or five mouthfuls. As the old man said, the wine was as strong as fire, making my internal organs warm. However, the intensity was slightly worse than the "flower and soy wine" I figured out when I was in my hometown Shengxian Village.

"Ah? OK, good alcohol content! Hahaha..."

The old man looked at me in shock and immediately laughed, but put away the jar of wine. I smacked my lips, why did I just let me take a sip? Is this the custom here?

Since I was a guest, I couldn't ask for any more wine, so I could only watch the old man put the medicinal wine into the inner room.

After a while, the old man walked out staggeringly, his smile slowly calmed down, and said, "Foreigner, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, old man, my name is Chen Xiaojiu. He is a disciple of Tianshishi Taoist in Longhu Mountain. He originally followed his master Longhu Taoist to travel around the world, but he was separated in Tianmen Mountain. At this moment, I don't know where I am, and I have no way to know the whereabouts of my master..."

I immediately expressed my memories before and after I came here inexplicably, hoping that the old man could help me fill in some lost blank memories.

"Tianmen Mountain? Mr. Xiaojiu, where is Tianmen Mountain?"

The old man looked at me in surprise and asked immediately.

"Ah? Old man, you... don't you know Tianmen Mountain? Isn't that... By the way, old man, where is this place?"

I patted my head weakly and asked in a mess.

"This is the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Mr. Xiaojiu, you don't know where this place is, why did you come here?"

When I heard the old man tell him the location of this place, I was stunned. The junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, isn’t this place that is completely inextricable to Tianmen Mountain?!

"I……"

I was speechless for a moment, yes, I didn’t even know where this place was, how could I come here?

Master, where are you now...

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open with two big and thick men walking towards them, with iron-core earthen guns in their hands. Although there was some rust on the head of the gun, they could still sense the sharpness and deep evil spirits on it. I wonder how many creatures they used these earthen guns to penetrate.

“…”

I couldn't understand their local dialect, but after seeing the visitor talking to the old man, the three of them looked very nervous and uneasy. After the two of them left, I hurriedly asked the old man: "Old man, is something wrong?!"

"yes……"

While the old man answered me, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then said: "Yale's grandfather went up the mountain to collect herbs yesterday and did not come back overnight. Just now, the villagers found his body on the bank of the Sancha River. He...he has been eaten by the night demon..."

"Ye Demon? Yes Ye Demon again?! Old man, can you tell me what is Ye Demon? Why does he deal with the villagers in your village?"

I was shocked and asked anxiously.
