The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 56: Danger is averted, Lord Shen is not a human being
The accident happened at that moment. Shen Qinghe acted very quickly, and the people who were bewitched by the so-called beautiful scenery could not react at all.

But he was fast, and Lang Jiuchuan was even faster. He lowered his body and pulled off the Emperor Bell from his waist with his hand. With his mind, he activated the Emperor Bell.

thump.

The heavy sound of the bell, as loud as thunder, pressed down on Shen Qinghe like a mountain, with a force of a thousand pounds. The invisible Taoism turned into a powerful evil force, which eliminated the evil spirits in his body one by one.

The dagger stopped in front of Lang Jiuchuan's forehead. Shen Qinghe, who was awakened by the bell, became conscious. He spat out a mouthful of blood due to the backlash of the internal energy and felt a stuffy pain in his chest.

However, before he had time to think about what he had done, he saw that he was holding a dagger and was about to stab Lang Jiuchuan. He was so scared that he took a step back, and his hand loosened, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Some quick-moving guards had already rushed over and tried to snatch the dagger, but were stimulated by this sudden scene and subconsciously supported Shen Qinghe who fell into their arms.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was awakened by the heavy crash, but dared not say a word.

What's the cause of this sudden internal strife?
It's not just an ordinary internal conflict, but Lord Shen wants to kill Miss Lang.

"Sir!" The maid pulled Lang Jiuchuan over and protected him behind her. She looked at Shen Qinghe in disbelief, trembling all over.

Shen Qinghe looked pale and looked at his hands, his voice a little hoarse: "It's not me, I don't know why just now..."

He looked at Lang Jiuchuan anxiously, wanting to explain.

Compared to the shock of others, he was more frightened, panicked and scared about what had just happened.

He actually used a dagger to stab a weak little girl, who was his son's savior!

Snapped!
Shen Qinghe slapped himself hard. What had he done?
Lang Jiuchuan walked out from behind the maid. His little face wrapped in fox fur was pale and looked like he was so frightened that he was about to faint at any moment. It was really pitiful.

Especially since those who came with her were all grown men, many of whom were old enough to be Lang Jiuchuan's father. Seeing her delicate and pitiful appearance, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts, saying that Lord Shen was too inhuman.

As for Lang Jiuchuan himself, apart from having an unpleasant expression on his face, there was no sign of him blaming Shen Qinghe in his eyes.

She took a step forward and said, "My Lord, don't blame yourself. What you did just now was just controlled and influenced by this evil thing. I won't blame you."

Seeing her so magnanimous and not blaming him, Shen Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "But didn't you say that I have the righteous energy protecting me? How could I be controlled? On the contrary, they didn't do anything rude or impulsive."

"I'm afraid they know that I'm here to ruin their plans, and they're on their own territory, so it's possible that they'll make a desperate bet on you." Lang Jiuchuan looked at the evil aura in the distance and said, "As for them, they're also affected. Wherever you look, you all feel that this is a paradise, where there's no conflict with the world. If you can live here in peace, you'll have no regrets even if you die?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

This, when they saw the peaceful and beautiful appearance of the valley just now, they really had such an idea, and even thought that marrying a beautiful wife and having a good child here would be a blessing in life.

"Miss Lang, is there something wrong with this valley?" someone asked cautiously.

Lang Jiuchuan said: "It's just an illusion. What I saw was all resentment and sin. These maple trees are stained with a lot of blood. I think there are corpses hidden under many of the trees."

what?
Someone was so frightened that he took two steps back, tripped by something and fell to the ground. His hand suddenly hurt and he cried out "ouch".

He turned his head and saw something sharp sticking out from the ground. Behind him was a maple tree that was not too old. His heart trembled, and he took off the knife hanging from his waist, scratched it, and jumped up with a roar.

The eye sockets of a skull stared back at him.

Everyone saw the part of the skull that had been dug out and their faces turned gloomy. They decided to go all out and started digging.

Wow, there are three skulls on this tree, which means three corpses. No wonder this maple tree still has red leaves in winter. It must be because the fertilizer is so strong.

Shen Qinghe's face was already gloomy.

If what Lang Jiuchuan said was true, how many people had disappeared in this daughter village over the years, and how many people had died here without being able to disperse?

"Tell me, you are the guide. Have you been colluding with this daughter village, luring tourists here, and then killing them and burying the bodies?" A guard suddenly drew out his sword and held it across the guide's neck.

The guide was so frightened that he shivered, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Please spare me, sirs. I didn't know. I used to make a living in Wujing, but I offended someone and returned to Tongcheng. I have only been a guide for a year. I have peed on this tree several times, but I didn't know there were corpses buried here. Otherwise, how would I dare to pee here?"

He was really scared, especially when the sword with a cold glow came closer to his neck. His bladder tightened and then relaxed, and a foul smell soon spread out.

The guard had a look of disgust on his face, snorted, and put away his sword.

"Someone is coming." Lang Jiuchuan looked forward, playing with the Emperor Bell in his hand.

The people who came were the residents of the Daughter Village, an old man in his sixties with several women. They walked up to Shen Qinghe and frowned when they saw him.

This person is really haunting!

The old man lowered his eyes, hiding the boredom and cruelty in them.

When he looked up again, the old man was already smiling and said, "I don't know why you have come so far, sir. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Shen Qinghe walked beside Lang Jiuchuan and whispered, "This is the priest elder of the Daughter Village, known as Elder Ke. By the way, everyone in the Daughter Village has the surname Ke. I heard that he presides over the mountain god's wedding every year. Is he the person you are looking for?"

When Elder Ke saw Shen Qinghe whispering to the girl beside him, he couldn't help but look over, and happened to meet Lang Jiuchuan's eyes. His pupils shrank slightly, and he took a step back, then looked again. The girl's eyes were like black holes, deep and bottomless, as if they wanted to suck people in and strangle them mercilessly.

Elder Ke clenched his hands that were hanging in his sleeves and stared at Lang Jiuchuan intently. His wrinkled lips were pursed, making him look even colder, harder and more gloomy.

This woman is not a good person. She is a big threat and she will make the Daughter Village no longer exist.

After seeing the several corpses dug out from under the maple tree guarding the village, he became more certain that these people came here before and got nothing, but now that they brought this girl with them, they actually discovered something buried by the maple tree guarding the village.

Elder Ke's face looked ferocious for a moment. I don't know if it was because of the scar on his face, but it looked a little eerie and scary.

Lang Jiuchuan walked forward slowly, and Shen Qinghe hurriedly kept pace with her, even taking a step ahead of her, with half of his body blocking Lang Jiuchuan to prevent any accidents.

Elder Ke looked at her approaching and inexplicably felt a sense of fear.

"You should have died. What is keeping you alive?" Lang Jiuchuan looked at Elder Ke and spoke with disgust in his eyes.
