Chapter 578, Barren Mountain Hunting
Just after the three people of the Ethereal Peak left, Qin Jue and the others immediately discussed it, and they also left early the next morning, and began to set off towards the Divine City in the central area of the Ancient Heavenly Court. It is also the area where next year's star picking ceremony will be held, but it is still a long time now, and Qin Jue is not too anxious, and sets off all the way to the northeast.
Chongshan goes to dense mountains and forests, inaccessible to people, walked for more than ten days, more than a dozen people walked out, and at the foot of the mountain is a huge village and town.
"Great, I finally saw the village, and after eating dry food for more than ten days, Lao Tzu's mouth was about to fade out. Xuanwu said excitedly, his face full of ecstasy.
"Lao Tzu's wine is almost finished, haha, go down and have a look. Prince Guo's face was also full of joy, and everyone drove into the village without the slightest hesitation.
Along the way, Qin Jue almost never got out of the carriage, and he had been trying to repair the golden armor, but it was a pity that his cultivation was still too weak, although the innate holy fire was strong, but it only repaired the golden armor by less than one percent, but later, no matter how he forged it with the holy fire, it was useless, which made Qin Jue very annoyed. However, he also understood that this was not an overnight thing, but fortunately, this set of divine armor already belonged to him, so he was not in too much of a hurry.
At noon, everyone entered the village in a big way, smoke rose everywhere, and many people gathered at the entrance of the village in front of the village, they looked into the mountains and forests, as if waiting for something.
Xuanwu felt curious, so he got out of the car and asked, "Hello, we are merchants from other places, passing through here, and want to rest in this village, I wonder if you can make it convenient?"
An old man walked over slowly and asked in a low voice, "Are you from the mountains?"
"Lingnan slope hunting?" Xuanwu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "We have traveled through the mountains and mountains for more than ten days on this trip, and we have never met a person, nor have we seen any hunting anywhere. ”
The old man sighed, his face seemed to be a little dark, he waved his hand, and everyone made way of a passage, and the old man said to Xuanwu again: "Since you have come from afar, then we naturally have to entertain you well, follow me into the village, our drunken Sanqiu here is famous far and wide." ”
"Thank you, please!"
The carriage followed the old man away, but the villagers at the entrance of the village did not disperse, and still stopped there to watch.
"By the way, old man, what are they waiting for here?, why do they all look worried?" asked Xuanwu curiously.
"Alas......" sighed, the old man's face was obviously a little ugly, he shook his head, his face was full of helplessness, " Since then, the boundary of five thousand miles is under the jurisdiction of the Thunder Eagle Gate, and the mountain range in front of you is the South Ridge, at the beginning of this year, someone found a vermilion red bird in the mountain range, like the legendary Vermilion Bird, after being informed by the Thunder Eagle Gate, he led the army into the mountain to visit, half a month ago, the nest of the red bird was finally discovered, on the Lingnan slope of more than 100 miles, so the Thunder Eagle Gate gathered people and horses to prepare for the hunt, and almost all the young and middle-aged people in our village were recruited away, leaving only us, the old and young women and children, stopped at the entrance of the village day by day, waiting for them to come back……”
"I see, but you don't need to worry so much, right? Since there are masters of the Thunder Eagle Gate, these ordinary villagers are afraid that they will not be pushed in front, at most, they will only help drive them away, and there will be no risk. Xuanwu comforted.
"Alas...... I hope so......" The old man sighed, and led the group into a fenced courtyard, and at one end of the courtyard were three thatched huts.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the old man shouting, "Old woman, there are guests at home, you and your daughter-in-law are ready to order some hard dishes!"
Soon, two people ran out of the nearby kitchen, smiled and saluted everyone, and then began to slaughter chickens and sheep. The name of the village in the mountains is still very simple and hospitable, everyone gradually got out of the car, and sat down casually in the courtyard, Prince Xuanwu and Prince Guo sat on the side and talked to the old man.
At this time, Qin Zulong slowly walked over and whispered in Qin Jue's ear: "Boy, can that red bird really be a Vermilion Bird?"
Qin Jue shook his head, "It shouldn't be, the Vermilion Bird is a divine beast, and it has long been extinct in this world, but for the Thunder Eagle Gate to pay so much attention, it must at least be a subspecies of the Vermilion Bird." ”
"Well, that makes sense. Qin Zulong nodded, and said, "Among the eight innate holy flames, the phoenix has the true fire of Nirvana, the golden crow has the true fire of the sun, and the Vermilion Bird has the Nanming Lihuo, if it is really a Vermilion Bird, maybe you can also take the opportunity to collect the Nanming Lihuo." ”
Qin Jue frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid there won't be such a coincidence......"
After about half an hour, the meal was finally arranged, and everyone sat in a circle, enjoying themselves, and just as they were about to start, they heard a commotion in the distance.
"Come on, people, come on, ......"
I saw five or six villagers driving a young man over, covered in blood, with a ball head, and covered with weeds and holes. The old man only glanced at it, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and he jumped out and shouted, "Shaoling, how are you?
The old woman and the young woman also hurried over, and came forward to hug the young man who was lying on the ground, and could not help crying.
"Son, it was fine when I left, how did I become like this now......"
Everyone cried, and the old man hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Doctor, go and ask for a doctor!"
At this time, Qin Jue also stood up and walked over slowly.
"No need to look for it, I'm a doctor, let me see. ”
When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the two women to get out of the way, Qin Jue stepped forward to check his pulse, checked the injuries on his body, and his face flashed with a hint of discoloration.
"Doctor, how is it? Is my son still saved?" The old man hurriedly asked, feeling anxious.
Qin Jue raised his head and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, with me, he won't be in any danger." As he spoke, the two old women beside Qin Absolute explained, "You two go and help me boil some boiling water, and I'll help him clean up the wounds on his body later." ”
The two nodded, and hurriedly ran to boil water.
Immediately after, Qin Jue put the young man flat on the ground, and with a tap of his fingers, dozens of silver needles flew out, piercing the man's whole body, and after doing all this, he took out another pill from the ring and fed it to the man.
Ahem......
The man coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes.
"Wake up, wake up, hey, what a miracle doctor!" someone said excitedly.
"Yes, the divine doctor, thanks to him this time, it seems that the village chief's family has come to the nobles. ”
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and their faces were full of excitement.
The village chief took Qin Jue's hand, his face was already full of tears, "Little brother didn't expect you to be so powerful, you saved my son's life, the old man really doesn't know how to thank you?"
Qin Jue smiled slightly and waved his hand casually, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture, besides, I naturally have to thank you for preparing such a rich meal for us." ”
"What a nice guy, thank you, thank you. The old man hurriedly bowed and saluted.
At this time, an old woman hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Shaoling, what the hell is going on with you? My three children went out with you, why did you come back by yourself, what about the three children? He wouldn't have already ......?"
The young man glanced at everyone, but he was still very weak at the moment, and his expression was also dim.
"I ...... Where am I?"
"Stinky boy, this is our family, your kid is finally back. The old man hurriedly grabbed his hand and said excitedly.
Shaoling stared at the old man in front of him tightly, his face became more and more excited, "Dad, I'm back, I'm finally back!" Dad, you quickly find a way to save the villagers, they ...... They're going to die......"
At this point, everyone was shocked, almost all the young and middle-aged people in the village were conscripted away, there were three or four hundred people, and if something happened to them, the whole village would be completely hopeless.
"What the hell is going on, Shaoling, you tell me clearly!" The old man was also in a hurry, his face full of consternation.
"Half a month ago, I led the young villagers to follow the elders of the Lei Ying Gate into the mountain, and gathered tens of thousands of horses in the col not far from the southern slope of the Lingnan Mountains. After more than ten days, we finally found the cave where the red bird lived, and just as the army was preparing to besiege it, a shocking fire suddenly broke out in the cave, and hundreds of people were burned to death on the spot, and the red bird flew out of the flames.
That was the first time I saw such a big bird, the wings spread out and wanted a roof, it took advantage of the chaos to start attacking the crowd, Liuyang Village next door bore the brunt, there were three people directly eaten by the big bird, we were on the edge at that time, so hurriedly ran away, otherwise I am afraid we would have already died.
Later, several elders of the Thunder Eagle Gate joined forces to cast a magic weapon to suppress the big bird, originally we thought it was over, but the big bird directly shook the magic weapon bowl to pieces, and after dropping a few feathers on its body, it retreated into the cave.
The red feathers, the young master of the Thunder Eagle Gate said that it could be used to extinguish the fire, and if it was made into clothes, it would not be afraid of the flames in the cave, so he ordered us ordinary people to go into the cave and lure the big bird out. The man went in batches, and died in the cave in groups, but the young master was like a demon, and he had to force us to die, so we would definitely die, so we took advantage of the night, we contacted the villagers of several villages, and prepared to flee back overnight, but before they escaped for a long time, the people of the Thunder Eagle Gate chased after us, and beat us again, and drove the people back, but I was knocked unconscious, and fell into a small dirt pit, and my body was covered by leaves, so I was not found by them, I woke up and ran back immediately, and for two days and two nights, I finally ran back。 ”
After saying that, the tears on the young man's face couldn't stop holding, he held the old man's hand tightly, and pleaded: "Dad, you have to find a way to save them." Otherwise, I'm afraid that this time, the villagers in our neighboring ten miles and eight townships are afraid that they will be more than lucky. ”
"Damn, it's really hateful that the dignified Thunder Eagle Gate is so careless about human life, and for the sake of a bird, he doesn't care about the lives of our villagers!" The old man was furious, his face full of anger.
"It's just that we always hand in the offerings on time, but I didn't expect them to treat us like this......"
……
Everyone's emotions were very excited, their faces were flushed, and their chests were rising and falling.
"The most important thing now is how to rescue them from Lingnanpo, now my son's life and death are still unknown, village chief, hurry up and think of a way?" The old woman on the side said anxiously.
"Save, be saved, is to fight our old bones, but also to save them, even if it is not good, at least replace them back, we old guys will die for them......" someone shouted coldly, full of indignation.
The village chief frowned, and his face was unusually cold.
"Okay, since it's him who is unkind, it's no wonder that we can't blame us. Okay, I'll go and contact a few nearby villages later, let's gather people and horses to go together, he Lei Yingmen is despicable, I don't believe they can kill us all!"
"Yes, if they dare to disagree, we will fight with them, and the big deal will be broken!" As soon as the village chief's words fell, someone immediately followed suit.
"Well, in that case, we have made up our minds, and we will set off early tomorrow morning. Let's go back and get ready. The village chief said loudly.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and the village chief also helped the young man into the house, at this time Qin Jue returned to his seat, and shook his head helplessly, "Alas, in such a world of the jungle, I'm afraid that no matter how many people you go, you won't be able to fight others, let alone say that the fish is dead and the net is broken......"
"Yes, in front of cultivators, ordinary people like them are just cannon fodder!" Qin Zulong said in a low voice, he glanced at Qin Jue, seeing the smile on his face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"I think we should take care of it, these people are too much, is this simply indiscriminate killing of civilians?" Xiluo's face was full of anger, and he hurriedly said, "Are you right, Qin boy?"
Prince Guo smiled softly, tasted a glass of wine, and said casually: "Xi girl, what kind of indiscriminate person do you think this kid is? None of these people are not decisive masters, each of them kills hundreds or thousands, I'm afraid it will be counted in tens of thousands, do you think they will participate in these boring things like you?"
Qin Jue glanced at him and smiled coldly: "I think I can take care of it!"
"Haha, I knew that Qin Kid wouldn't be so cold-natured. Xiluo was full of surprises.
Prince Guo smiled casually, "Boy, did you find anything again?"
Qin Jue smiled and nodded, a hint of ecstasy flashed across his expression.
"There are traces of the flames on the body of that Shaoling just now, and the flame must be Nanming Lihuo!"
