Book 1: Tracing Chapter 28: The Legend of the Giant Merlin
The morning sun shone through the dense forest on the sheep's intestine path, and the occasional dripping dew soaked the clothes.
With the help of Ah Da, the three of them successfully crossed the Yugan River, and as a thank you Ah Da gave another acacia bean to Wei Lin, and after repeated excuses, they finally couldn't accept this stupid big man.
For Wei Lin, this acacia bean naturally has an unforgettable memory, once upon a time there was a whole acacia forest planted in the back garden of the Demon Lord, just because someone liked it.
The other side of the river is already the territory of the human race, and this forest is also very large, and the consumption of this period of time makes Wei Lin's spiritual power very scarce, and the three of them finally decided to go to the nearest town on foot, so that Wei Lin can recover while walking.
"How's your recovery?"
Ruan Jin rarely had a word of concern for Wei Lin, which made Wei Lin a little flattered.
"It's still a little close, I'm almost halfway back, and the aura in this forest is relatively abundant. ”
Wei Lin inspected the lower dantian and replied truthfully.
"Yo, it's rare, Senior Brother Ruan will also care about people. ”
Wen Qin naturally figured out the relationship between the two of them very clearly along the way, and took advantage of it to make fun of it when he was bored.
"Hurry up and recover, let's return to the sect quickly. ”
Ruan Jin didn't seem to like Wen Qin's way of joking with a straight face, one of these two people was full of evil spirits, and the other didn't take the sect to heart at all, he had long wanted to return to the Xuanshui Sect alone.
"Lao Ruan, listen to my advice, don't take yourself too seriously, whether we live or die is really insignificant to the Xuanshui Sect, but if we are the only ones who go back alive, it may be a curse rather than a blessing. ”
Wei Lin naturally understands Ruan Jin's temperament, and this return to the Xuanshui Sect may be much more complicated than expected, since the demon clan can unknowingly lay down this situation, I am afraid that there are many shadows.
They will inevitably be pushed to the forefront if they go back in peace like this, and the so-called crime of wanting to add no excuse is indeed necessary to plan early.
"Hmph, the master will naturally distinguish between right and wrong, the demon clan has just established the new monarch at this time, and everything is not stable, it is the best time for us. ”
Ruan Jin did not hide what he thought in his heart, indeed, Jiao Fan took the cultivation of the god transformation period as the successor to the position of the demon emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public for a while, and the front line of the battlefield at this time may have already received the news, and the morale of the army will be more or less affected.
"Hey. ”
Wei Lin finally sighed and didn't say more, Ruan Jin was so stubborn and didn't know how to be flexible, and sooner or later he would suffer a big loss.
So the three of them walked in silence for half an hour, and then saw a ghostly creature squatting in the grass from a distance, obviously a mortal person.
"Come out, don't squat. ”
Wen Qin shouted at the somewhat abruptly colored bushes in front of him, but the guy didn't plan to come out, and was still hiding there.
"Can't get out!"
Wen Qin lightly, the big tree above the bush began to frantically smash down the leaves, these leaves fell straight down like stones, and the guy who smashed it screamed for a while, and rolled out with a hat made of leaves.
"Great Immortal spare your life, Great Immortal spare your life!"
With a steel fork in his hand and a short bow on his back, it was obvious that he was a hunter, and he crawled to the three of them, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Senior Sister Wen, it doesn't seem appropriate to use it for mortals. ”
Ruan Jin waved his hand, and the falling leaves stopped, and the hunter hurriedly kowtowed to Ruan Jin.
"You Orion, how can you come here so boldly, that you are not afraid that the beast will eat you?"
Wei Lin stretched out his hand, and the Orion involuntarily stood up, looking tall but so frightened that he peed his pants, and the commotion filled the air to keep Wen Qin far away.
"Return, if you go back to Daxian, I can't help it, the old mother at home is a little sick, she has spent all her savings, and she still has a lot of money, so she can only risk death to fight in the depths of this Merlin. ”
This Orion is a filial son, for the sake of his mother willing to run to this kind of place, before the three of them on the road to kill a few beasts that are not long-eyed, among which there is a spotted leopard has a cultivation period of Qi cultivation, it is really not a matter of letting this person run into it.
"Do you know where the nearest town is?"
Wei Lin continued to ask, when he got to the town to contact the Righteous Path Alliance, someone would soon come to answer him, this was the news from the Xuanshui Token.
"I know, I know, it's the Black Rock Town where the villain lives, and this will lead the way for a few immortal elders, hehe. ”
This Orion came here and regretted it a little, whether it was advancing or retreating, it was a crisis, and at this time, Wei Lin and the others naturally had to rush back to the town.
"Let's go. ”
"Okay, a few immortal elders will go this way. ”
The hunter picked up some of the tools that had fallen on the ground and led the way for the others, marking them along the way, so that he was not afraid to go in the wrong direction.
"Lao Ruan, this walking is also a kind of practice, and it is of great benefit to the state of mind......
Wei Lin looked at Ruan Jin who was standing in place, and naturally guessed a little bit of his thoughts, so he stepped forward and flickered, Ruan Jin chose to ignore it and directly bypassed Wei Lin to keep up with the footsteps of Orion, which has embarrassed the Demon Lord many times, Wei Lin only felt that his temper was getting better and better.
Under the leadership of Orion, a group of people walked for more than two hours on the mountain road before they walked out of Merlin, and there were some sporadic exchanges along the way, this Orion's name was Zhang Luo, and his ancestors had been hunting for a living.
It wasn't until his grandfather's generation that he moved down the mountain, and it was from that time that the family situation was not as good as day by day, and the people who relied on the mountains and ate the mountains naturally had no capital to eat when they entered the city, so they could only do some fur business, barely able to eat and wear.
According to Zhang Luo's grandfather's meaning, when he entered the city, he had to change his livelihood, so he asked his father to go to the road of Shi, Zhang Luo's father was also very competitive, very talented in reading, and was the most promising young man in the town to enter the court as an official.
Who knew that disaster fell from the sky, I don't know who I offended, just the night before the exam, his father was killed in the study at home, the candle was lit all night, the family thought it was reading at night, and it was not until the next day that they found that the person was long gone.
In that year's exam, only the son of Wang Yuan's family in Blackstone Town entered the siege, and the others were sick and died, and no one would delve into it, this is the way of the world.
"Are a few immortal elders here to subdue demons and eliminate demons?"
Blackstone Town is right in front of you, and it looks like a big place, with a lot of people coming and going.
"Do you have any demons here?"
Wei Lin asked casually, the official words of slaying demons and destroying demons are worthy of the word immortal chief.
"I've heard that no one has really seen it after all, hehe. ”
It can be regarded as small talk, Zhang Luo's almost silent silence is not at all like the previous scared urine.
"Tell me about it. ”
Ruan Jin also seemed to be attracted and unconsciously moved closer.
"That's the legend of the Merlin giant. ”
Zhang Luo was a little sloppy, and he naturally noticed the curiosity of the three of them.
"Merlin Giant?"
As soon as the three of them heard it, they naturally remembered Ah Da, this guy has been swimming around the Yugan River for a long time, and it is very likely that he is talking about him.
"Exactly, legend has it that in the depths of this Merlin lived a giant, who was cruel and indiscriminately killed innocents, and ate many people who entered the mountains. ”
Zhang Luo was mysterious when he spoke, as if he was afraid that others would hear about it, but in fact, the children in the town knew about this kind of rumor.
"You didn't ask for a cure for him?"
"Please, of course please, at that time, the rich man of the town spent a lot of money to invite the Heavenly Master, and guess what in the end. ”
"If there's a fart, let it go!"
Ruan Jin was a little annoyed by this tricky Zhang Luo, he was in a hurry to return to Xuanshui, how could he have the leisure to listen to him here.
"Yes...... Yes, the invited Heavenly Master grabbed the giant and prepared to be executed in public the next day, but that night, while everyone was asleep after the banquet, a demon girl secretly let the giant go, and when he woke up the next day, the giant had already fled to the other side of the Yugan River. ”
"So you put the enchantress to death?"
"How does Daxian know, Daxian is really like a god, and he can't hide anything from your eyes. ”
Wei Lin also guessed that the girl in red on the other side was probably the demon girl who was executed in this person's mouth.
"Is the witch's name Asha?"
Wen Qin was very interested in this story, and she naturally guessed something, so she wanted to confirm it.
"I don't know, this legend is too long, I only know that the demon girl seems to be a maid in the rich man's house, the next day the heavenly master wanted to use the radical method to lead the giant across the river, but until the demon girl was burned to death, she didn't say a word, so many years of the rumors of the Merlin giant have not been broken, and many heavenly masters have been invited one after another in vain. ”
Zhang Luo was a little regretful, if this Merlin giant had been eliminated earlier, maybe their family would not have thought of moving from the mountains to the city, and his father would not have died tragically.
"Can this enchantress still control the giant's movements?"
Wei Lin was a little curious, Ah Da had said that Ah Sha was his lover.
"Daxian is right, the demon girl seems to know a kind of demon song, as long as she sings the demon song, the giant will come when she hears it. ”
As they spoke, they entered Blackstone, which seemed to be so prosperous that it could catch up with some of the smaller towns.
"Demon song, hehe, interesting. ”
Wei Lin smiled and stopped talking, he already had a general understanding of what happened to Ah Da and Ah Sha in his heart, the world is already a lot of tribulations and difficulties, I just hope that Ah Da will build a bridge as soon as possible and let his sweetheart be reincarnated.
