The Retirement of the Demon Lord

Lin Xiyu sensed someone, so she quickly took a few steps back vigilantly, and put her hand on the hilt of the sword: "Who is coming?"

​​

"I'm a woodcutter who lives at the foot of the mountain. I chop wood on Jiuri Mountain for a living. It's night time, and I'm rushing down the mountain." Anguish from the bottom of one's heart.

​​

"The woodcutter? The mountain road is difficult, why did you go down the mountain at night?" Lin Xiyu calmly took a few steps back, still resting on the woodcutter who appeared silently.

​​

Lin Xiyu encountered an unimaginable and strange thing this night, and also encountered a woodcutter who suddenly appeared. Although there was a little turbulence in his heart, he was not panicked. Such a calm performance stems from the self-confidence that she has cultivated through her hard work and solid martial arts skills. In addition, she was born in the No. 1 Wulin Village, her father and grandfather are both invaluable figures in the martial arts. Growing up in such a martial arts family made her more tenacious than ordinary people. Some extraordinary temperament.

​​

The woodcutter was stunned for a moment, then continued in a hoarse voice: "Girl... I am so ugly by nature that ordinary people would think they saw a monster when they saw it. So I walked into the depths of Jiuri Mountain every day to chop wood, and only came down at night. Avoid frightening others. You're not frightened by me?"

​​

"It turns out that I can't see it."

​​

The woodcutter raised the hatchet in his hand and shook it. The girl's eyes were bright but unmoved, and she suddenly realized. He touched his face as if the roots of the tree were entangled, no wonder he wasn't frightened, it turned out to be a blind man.

​​

"So recently there are rumors that there are monsters on Jiuri Mountain. It's you who said that?"

​​

"Hehehe... Maybe it is! When I see my child, I will even be scared to sleep. It's not surprising that some people call me a monster! If you came here to see the monsters on Jiuri Mountain, then you have already seen it. …”

​​

"So that's the case..." Lin Xiyu didn't doubt that the so-called monsters in Jiuri Mountain were caused by ugly woodcutters who only haunted at night.

​​

"Girl, I see you as a chivalrous person who walks the rivers and lakes. You dare to be strong on Jiuri Mountain. However, there are many dark slopes and cliffs in Jiuri Mountain, and the woodcutter and hunter who have walked here for many years dare not say that they will Someday I will be absent-minded and step on the air. On this landslide on Jiuri Mountain, I may fall under the deep cliffs of Qiling, and I can't even find the bones. I advise the girl to go down the mountain earlier... You can come up for sightseeing in the daytime, no Young literati love to come here to climb high to see the scenery, and to carve poems on the rocks as souvenirs.”

​​

"Mr. Xie is concerned. But sir, can't you hear the sound of drums everywhere?" Lin Xiyu asked suspiciously.

​​

"How can you not hear it. But those are not drum sounds, but whirring..."

​​

"Huming?"

​​

"There are too many people who fell and died on the cliffs of Jiuri Mountain. They are all pitiful people. After they die, they don't know they are dead. Every night when the darkness is over, the lonely soul will cry for help here... You I don’t think it’s so empty and hard to find, as if it came from the ground…”

​​

Lin Xiyu didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but she had to say that after being reminded by the woodcutter, listening to the drums carefully seemed to come from the ground, and there was no trace to be found.

​​

So far, Lin Xiyu has to consider whether the situation here is that simple. There is an ugly looking woodcutter at the foot of the mountain. He is called a monster because he looks too ferocious. The Jiuri Mountain is so rugged, and the missing people all slip off the dark **** and fall off the cliff. In this way, a story of monsters killing people is completed. This kind of ghosts and ghosts are usually heard in this way.

​​

As for why there have been so many missing people in recent months... Lin Xiyu touched her wet and greasy clothes. The continuous spring rains caused the ground to be slippery after winter and spring. The wetness in the south even carried dew in the breeze, and the slippery ground did not dry all day long. , so there are more accidents.

​​

"Girl, listen to me, go back early. It's getting late, so I'm going down the mountain first..."

​​

After the woodcutter finished speaking, he held the hatchet and waved it gently to prevent wild beasts in the mountains, and walked down the mountain with a large basket of firewood on his back.

​​

Lin Xiyu dared to roam the rivers and lakes alone, it is impossible without a little bit of alertness. Yesterday, she was plotted because she had never dealt with such a rude opponent, and the lower limit was refreshed. Under normal circumstances, she is not stupid.

​​

She quietly followed behind the woodcutter for a long time, and found that he was indeed walking down the mountain. She made sure that the drumming had nothing to do with him before returning.

​​

Her stubbornness made her go again to the center where the drums were connected, but she still found nothing. Only then did she determine that it should be as she guessed. The missing people on Jiuri Mountain had an accident due to the slippery road in the spring rain. The so-called monsters are just people who have never seen the woodcutter and are frightened by rumors. The inexplicable drum sound can only become a knot in her heart. Maybe someday a scholar who understands geography can explain to her how this sudden and obscure drum sound came about.

​​

I didn't expect it to be so simple, Lin Xiyu's previous excitement was swept away, and all that was left was a feeling of exhaustion and emptiness, and the footsteps down the mountain were not as brisk as when they came.

​​

Walking down the mountainside, Lin Xiyu suddenly stood still, facing the lonely wooden house on the side. She found this wooden house when she came up.

​​

The woodcutter said that he was ugly and lived far away from the crowd. He thought this should be his residence. Recalling that the woodcutter reminded her three or four times that the mountain road was dangerous, she should be a kind-hearted person. Lin Xiyu planned to go over and say hello to the woodcutter, lest the woodcutter be worried.

​​

With her feet agile, like sliding in the wind, Jingyi's elegant figure appeared outside the wooden house in a moment, and she groped for the door with her hands.

​​

"Is there anyone? Is Mr. Woodcutter there?"

​​

Lin Xiyu knocked on the door for a while and heard that no one answered, but she was not surprised.

​​

When she came over, she didn't notice that there were piles of firewood next to the log house that the other party cut down the mountain. She thought that all the firewood chopped by the woodcutter would be sent down the mountain to nearby people that night, presumably to avoid scaring people by walking around during the day.

​​

It doesn't matter if the woodcutter is not there. Thinking of this, I was about to leave when I suddenly heard a soft beating sound from inside.

​​

Is there someone inside? Or was thief? Or the woodcutter didn't go down the mountain, and he had a sudden illness in the house and couldn't answer?

​​

Lin Xiyu frowned, her beautiful eyes flickering, she had just encountered something inexplicable in the evening, and now she heard a strange fragrance in front of the lonely house on the mountain, she still didn't give up, she pushed the door a little hard, and the wooden door squeaked and closed. Opened up, walked in.

​​

"Is anyone here?"

​​

Still no answer.

​​

In the house, he couldn't see his five fingers, and when he opened his eyes, he looked like a blind man. Lin Xiyu groped for a while and found that the furniture in the house was scarce and there was a faint stench. Strange to say, though, since she walked in, the slight beating had never been heard again, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had heard it wrong when she was outside the door just now.

​​

While thinking about walking, she touched a crack in the door. It was estimated that this was the woodcutter's bedroom.

​​

She gently pushed and pulled, but did not expect the door to be closed tightly. She groped for a while, but did not find the door latch, indicating that the door was not locked from the outside. So the woodcutter locked the door inside? But why didn't you answer her?

​​

She was only entangled in her heart for less than a second, whether it was her own fault or not, she was not afraid of 10,000, and most feared in case, saving a life was better than building a seven-level pagoda. sin. The big deal is that she pays him for this!

​​

Lin Xiyu and Li Mengyao became good sisters, of course, they are like people who do what they say they do. Now, she exerted force on the bottom plate, stretched out her hand to clasp the crack of the door to exert internal force, and with a slam, her fingers pinched a bigger gap in the crack, and with a slam, the whole wooden door was grabbed by the board and thrown behind her!

​​

"Whoops!!"

​​

The door had just been broken, and a figure inside the door suddenly rushed out! He roared piercingly in his mouth, and his body exuded bursts of stench!

​​

Lin Xiyu's mind is mature, and he knew that he must be careful about everything when he goes out and walks in the rivers and lakes. When he opened the door, he was ready. When he felt a sudden change in wind pressure, he immediately flashed sideways~www.wuxiaspot.com~ with a backhand and slashed the man out. A few meters and hit the wall.

​​

"Who are you? Are you a woodcutter?"

​​

Lin Xiyu walked over cautiously, unable to see what the man looked like, she could only recognize him by his voice.

​​

However, she didn't see that the man on the ground was covered in purple and black, and he could no longer see his original skin color and appearance. There were only two flesh holes left in his eyes, and many parts of his body were rotting and smelly. The wounds were oozing thick silt, and even maggots were crawling on them, which made people vomit. If you can see it clearly, it is absolutely impossible to go forward to check, and even the less timid people will feel their feet weak.

​​

"Uh...I..."

​​

"What did you say?" Lin Xiyu couldn't hear clearly. She put her hand on the hilt of the sword just in case, and listened carefully.

​​

"help me……"

​​

The man pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his hands and pinched Lin Xiyu's long hair! Lin Xiyu subconsciously wanted to open the opponent's hands, but found that the opponent's hands were as hard as iron, and he couldn't push them apart for a while!
