Chapter 49: Seedlings
Xia Feng, who walked into the back room, was stunned, the furnishings in the room were also very simple, there was an item with an unclear shape and material enshrined in the upper position, and the rest was empty, and it was the unknown object that made him get close
The old man stood on one side with his eyes closed, like an old stump, without saying a word, Xia Feng took a few steps forward, but he still couldn't tell what it was, he asked suspiciously
"What the hell is this?"
"Dare to ask the little brother how he feels about it?" the old man replied
"It gives me an inexplicable sense of intimacy"
Sure enough, the old man's face felt an emotional fluctuation, and he opened his eyes and stared at Xia Feng
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, can I take a look?"
"Others can't, you can" The old man's words made Xia Feng a little inexplicable, but he didn't get entangled, stepped forward a little eagerly, and reached out to grab the thing into his hand very casually
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, he regarded himself as a holy object, but this kid didn't care about it
Carefully looked at the front of him, it seemed to be a fragment, stretched out his finger and flicked, the material seemed to be bronze, this action made the old man's face a little distorted, he controlled the desire to slap him, closed his eyes
It doesn't seem to be anything special? Xia Feng was a little blind, he held this bronze fragment tightly and closed his eyes to experience it carefully, and subconsciously carried the Demon God Technique, and the feeling of closeness became more and more obvious, it seemed to have something to do with the Demon God Technique Technique
He didn't notice that with the appearance of the aura of the exercises, the old man's eyes were straight, and he slowly lay on the ground trembling, lying in front of him in a posture of throwing his five bodies to the ground
"Hey--- old man, please, what are you doing here?" Xia Feng, who had no special discoveries, opened his eyes and looked at the old man on the ground, said hurriedly, and reached out to help the old man, after all, people are also a lot old
The old man who was helped up by Xia Feng had his eyes lit up, and he couldn't speak excitedly, Xia Feng looked at his trembling body, and hurriedly helped him sit on the ground
The old man slowly relaxed, a hint of remembrance appeared on his face, and slowly spoke
"The Miao people have now gradually integrated into the real society, and many Miao people have mixed with other ethnic groups, and even intermarried.
Xia Feng waited quietly for the old man to continue, he knew that the old man must have a purpose in saying this
"These Miao people we call 'mature seedlings', because there are still very few Miao people who live far away from the crowd and live deep in the mountains, and they have little contact with the outside world, so they are called 'raw seedlings'."
"What about their food and clothing?" Xia Feng asked suspiciously
"Except for regularly sending people out of the mountains to buy salt, all other needs are self-sufficient."
"What should I do if I'm sick?"
"There are powerful wizards in the stockade, and they have a way to solve this problem," the old man explained, looking at Xia Feng with a look of disbelief
"The wizard's ability is very strong, outsiders can't understand it, my strength is not even enough to be an apprentice to a wizard, just like the body of Mr. Sun just now, if there is a wizard to make a move, it is estimated that he will be able to cure him"
Seeing the expression of still disbelief in this thing, the old man ignored it directly and continued to speak
"Although they have little contact with the outside world, they have not lost contact with the outside world, and many Miao villages in the outside world have contact with them, because every few years, or more than ten years, they will send people out to find children with good qualifications to bring back for targeted training, and I was selected to stay there until I was 16 years old."
"What is the purpose of raising these children?"
"I don't know, because I was sent out after elimination, so I don't know where those who weren't eliminated were sent in the end"
"Are the villagers outside willing to send their children there?"
"Of course, it is the holy land of the Miao people, because even if the people who are sent out after elimination, they are all talents who far surpass others in some aspects after they go back, so they generally end up becoming clan elders or mages in the village."
"What does this have to do with me?" Xia Feng was a little strange
"I once met a very powerful man there, and some people said at that time that he came from the most mysterious place, and your breath was very similar to his" The old man did not say anything else, when the sorcerer and the clan elder in the village greeted the man as if they were welcoming the gods
Could it be that there are also people here who cultivate the Demon God Technique, Xia Feng's eyes froze
"How powerful?"
"I don't know, I just heard from the teacher who taught us that ten teachers are not his opponents, you must know that the teacher has the strength to deal with the tiger with his bare hands, this is what we have seen with our own eyes"
It seems that you can't relax your cultivation carelessly in the future, this world is not useless, and there are still many hidden masters
"Then what's going on with this?" Xia Feng held up the bronze fragment in his hand
"This is my most precious thing, I accidentally got it when I stayed there, and I found that this thing was somewhat similar to the breath emitted by that very powerful person, so I kept it private. I thought it might be a fragment of an ancient blade, or it could be a fragment of a holy artifact."
"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't contact them, I'd report your situation immediately," the old man said
Rely on --- if you can contact them, I should seriously consider whether to kill or not, Xia Feng, who frowned, thought disdainfully, who the knows what kind of attitude they will have towards me? If you don't have good intentions and come out with a group of powerful guys to deal with me, then I have to run away quickly, but the premise is that I can escape
"Didn't you say they would come out every few years or a dozen years?"
"They also have a choice, they won't go to the village where they have a lot of contact with the outside world, no one has come to Kaitianzhai for nearly thirty years, and it is estimated that the qualification has been given up" Xia Feng finally put his mind at ease when he heard this, fortunately--- it seems that there is no need to think about killing people.
The poor old man didn't know that he had just been on the brink of life and death, and he continued
"My heart guides me to tell you this, I hope you can find the answer, I don't know where the specific place is, I can only analyze that it should be in the mountains around the Yapan River or the Min River"
Forget it, do you find yourself and die? I'm not stupid enough to do that. I thought about it, but I didn't show it
"Well, I'll check it out when I get a chance," he flickered at the old man
"Actually, you can also go back and ask the person who taught you the exercises, he may know some information," the old man reminded him
Shall I ask the Demon God? Then I have to find his old man
"The person who taught me the exercises is long gone"
"Then there is no way," the old man said with pity on his face
"Something back to you" The bronze fragment was of little use to himself, Xia Feng thought to himself, so he reached out and stuffed the fragment into the old man's hand
"Please don't leak today's conversation, I have already violated the ancestral teachings today," the old man advised
"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone" I went out and said something wrong, who knows what kind of trouble it might get into?
After receiving Xia Feng's affirmative assurance, the old man reverently placed the bronze fragments again before accompanying Xia Feng out of the house---
