Chapter 303: The Man in the Dungeon
The curious young man became suspicious of the village woman's words, and she wanted to investigate the truth of the matter, but Su Jinling reminded her not to delay her business because of curiosity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The little boy naturally obediently agreed.
After getting Murong Lingfeng's promise, Su Jinling didn't ask any more questions. The master and apprentice drank two cups, and the little boy took care of Su Jinling to sleep. Probably because she drank too much chicken soup at night, she made up for some qi and blood, and the little boy couldn't sleep for a long time, she was afraid of disturbing Su Jinling, so she simply got up and sat by the window thinking about it.
Murong Lingxue's words were still lingering in her ears, and the ten major artifacts were all concentrated in her hands unintentionally, I am afraid that it was not just a coincidence, the so-called fixed number may be the case. When the choice came to her ruthlessly, the little boy would rather not have this choice. In the Zhantian Continent, she has inseparable family, friends, and lovers, but there are also friends on the earth that she misses, and she can't let go of both sides, can't she have both sides together?
As soon as this idea came out, even Murong Lingfeng felt that he was too greedy, and quickly dispelled this idea.
Just as she was struggling, she suddenly heard movement in the yard. The little boy opened the window a little and saw a figure sneaking out of the yard, and he couldn't help frowning. It's so late, everyone should have gone to sleep, who will go out?
She thought for a moment and set up an enchantment in the house to ensure Su Jinling's safety. Then he went out the door lightly, and quietly followed the figure out of the farmhouse.
Not long after leaving the farmhouse, Murong Lingfeng recognized the figure - this sneaky man was none other than Nannan's father, the pillar of the family - the man named Liu Yi.
Liu Yi carried the lantern and turned left and right, and unexpectedly took Murong Lingfeng to a cemetery. When he arrived at the cemetery, he first looked for it with a lantern in a row, counting what was still in his mouth. Soon, Liu Yi stopped in front of a tombstone, he carefully confirmed the tombstone, and only after making sure that it was correct, did he start to pick up the shovel that had been hidden in advance and dig up the grave.
Murong Lingfeng hid behind a big tree not far away, watching Liu Yi's movements, his heart was completely empty - this Liu Yi didn't sleep on the hot kang in the middle of the night, and actually ran to the cemetery to dig up the grave. There are only four families within a hundred miles of this wilderness, and if he is quite a tomb robber, and he comes directly during the day generously, no one will stop him, why make it so weird? Could it be that he hid a ghost concubine in it, and while his wife was asleep, he came here to steal fish?
The tomb was probably not buried deeply, and Liu Yi didn't dig it long before the coffin lid was exposed. He threw the shovel to the side, looked around, and made sure that no one was there, so he opened the lid of the coffin and jumped into it. This scared Murong Lingfeng, could it be that Liu Yi was a ghost, homesick in the middle of the night, and ran back to sleep?
Liu Yi jumped in for most of the day and didn't move, Murong Lingfeng didn't have the patience to wait any longer, she gave herself the courage to walk to the coffin tentatively, and looked inside, it turned out that there was not a single corpse in the coffin. The coffin is an entrance, and the steps are built underneath, and Liu Yi should have gone down the steps.
The little boy did not rush to follow up, first used her sharpened iron dagger to make a large circle on the coffin lid, she did not finish the garden, but left a gap, to make sure that the wood was still connected together, and there was no flaw in it, and then jumped into the coffin, down the steps to the ground. Fortunately, there is only one road underground, and there are not so many deceptive twists and turns. Murong Lingfeng quickly caught up with Liu Yi, and she performed light skills and quietly followed behind Liu Yi. Liu Yi walked a long way before he finally stopped. Murong Lingfeng climbed on the top of the tunnel, afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to get too close, but in this kind of closed tunnel, she could still hear the conversation between the two in front of her clearly.
Yes, there is one more person at the end of the tunnel. Murong Lingfeng took advantage of the faint light of the lantern and vaguely saw that the person was tied to the wall. The sound of chains clashing from time to time also confirmed her suspicions. She always felt that this scene was familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she saw it.
Just as Murong Lingfeng was racking his brains to recall, the man who was tied up spoke, "I thought you were finally tired of it and didn't plan to ignore me anymore!"
Liu Yi sighed, "I didn't want to care about it for a long time, but who let my life and the lives of my children be in your hands! If you die, no one in our village will survive, so I must ensure that you live well!" He took out a steamed bun from his arms, and a big chicken leg, and fed it to the man's mouth, "There is a guest at home today, and I am too late." My old woman stewed the hen that had still laid eggs, alas, I probably couldn't eat eggs for a while!
"Why do you say this as if I'm about to go to the guillotine?" The man took a bite of the chicken thigh, and asked Liu Yi for saliva to drink, before asking, "Guest? Your relatives? Can't you? Aren't all the people in your village dead? I haven't heard of anyone from Gui Village coming for more than 20 years!"
"So when I came home from the field today, I was shocked to see a teenager sitting in the yard!" Liu Yi said with a smile, "Later, I went to find my mother-in-law and found out that it was two passers-by who wanted to spend the night at my house." ”
"Passing by? Where are they going? Can they pass through the borders of this wilderness?" the man thought the statement was novel, "I really can't guess who will come here except for the Black Scorpion Sect." ”
Liu Yi shook his head, "They really don't look like the Black Scorpion Sect." Dressed in white, he looks very noble, and he is also handsome, unlike those fierce and vicious people in the Black Scorpion Sect, which are terrifying. It's quite comfortable to stay with that little brother. ”
The man snorted and laughed, "Look at what you're talking about, don't you like people?"
That little brother is probably seventeen or eighteen years old, more than ten years younger than my hoe, and I am more than enough to be his father at this age, how can I mess with my thoughts. Liu Yi hurriedly refuted his words.
The man smiled evilly, "I didn't say where you fell in love with someone, if you really didn't think about it, why are you in a hurry?"
"I'm not afraid that you will talk nonsense and defile other people's little brothers. He is now the benefactor of my family! If he hadn't been there today, my hoe might not have been able to be saved!" Liu Yi told the man about the danger that happened in the Liu family tonight, and praised the little boy again and again, "That reaction, that method." It's the first time I've seen someone who has been bitten by a bone-eating insect and can come back to life!" Liu Yi showed his respect for the little boy in and out of his words, and it seemed that he was really convinced this time.
"Divine doctor......" the man muttered these words, not knowing what he was thinking. He took another bite of the chicken and couldn't help but exclaim, "This chicken is stewed with ginseng, right? And it has to be more than 300 years old ginseng to have this thick mellow aroma." Don't ask, this ginseng must have been given to you by the noble little doctor in white. However, it has to be the good craftsmanship of my younger siblings to stew the chicken so deliciously, just one word 'fragrant'!"
"Don't scream, what brother and sister? You've been here for more than forty years, who knew you were a hundreds of years old goblin! We can't call you grandpa!" Liu Yi ruthlessly dismantled him, "You said that so many years have passed, and you have been bringing you food since my father's time, why don't you see you old at all?
The man laughed, "If I die of old age, won't your Gui Village have to perish?
At this point, both of them were silent, the topic was so heavy that generations have not been able to get out of it.
After a while, Liu Yi opened his mouth, "Actually, wouldn't it be better if you told him what he wanted to know? Today, my mother-in-law is talking about leaving the village again. She was right, the children are all older, and it is time to marry a wife, have children, and start a family. However, how dare I tell her that we can't leave the village at all. Where was the family of Uncle Li's eldest son beaten to death? He clearly poisoned himself by defying the law and staying away from the village! It is not false at all to say that we are a cursed village! If this continues, Gui Village will really be extinct! Liu Yi is a big man, but at this time he was crying profusely, "Master Lan, you can do it! Just tell the secret and save us!"
The man's voice also revealed helplessness, "Lao Liu, why don't you understand? This is not a trivial matter, and what she wants is not as simple as a chicken leg and a steamed bun! If that thing is really found by her, then the entire Zhantian Continent will be destroyed." The Zhantian Continent is gone, can your little Gui Village still exist? I don't say it, she will take me as a problem, and we can still survive in secret, waiting for the day when a miracle will come. ”
"However, he also lives on this continent, if the continent is really destroyed, won't he himself be able to escape death?" Liu Yi was still trying to convince the man.
"She's a madman, can you still reason with a madman?" the man sneered, "She's been like this since she was a child, and if she can't get anything, she'll destroy everything, she's a complete madman." If she had the slightest conscience, she wouldn't have tied me up here for so many years, I'm her own brother!
Liu Yi unconsciously took a step back, not daring to get too close to him. The man probably realized that he was too emotional, and slowly calmed down, "You go, let me be alone for a while." ”
Liu Yi hurriedly packed up his things and left quickly, and after walking out a few steps, he turned around and asked, "Master Lan, what do you want to eat tomorrow, I'll let the child cook it for you!"
The man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed out loud, "I love to eat stick noodles and salty pimples made by my younger siblings!"
"Okay, I'll send it to you early tomorrow!"
The man watched Liu Yi walk away, and he didn't retract his gaze until he couldn't see the light of the lantern. In the dark, the man glanced in the direction where Murong Lingfeng was hiding, "The person who came is a guest, since my friends have arrived here, it is better to come out and have a chat." This black light blinds the fire, and you can't see anything with your eyes. What's more, it's boring for me to stay here by myself, and having someone to talk to me about it can relieve my sulkness. ”
From the moment Murong Lingfeng found out, this person is a talker. It's probably that a person has been locked up here for too long, and when he finds an opportunity, he will talk endlessly. He had to mumble such a long list of things that could be solved in a few words. However, now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide anymore. Murong Lingfeng leaned in a few times, reached the person in the dark, took out a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg from the small bag he carried, and put it on the small wooden table where Liu Yi usually put things. The light of the night pearl is much stronger than the lantern. The eyesight of people who have lived underground for a long time has long deteriorated, and when they saw the strong light, they only felt that their eyes were stinging, so they hurriedly turned their heads and closed their eyes, Rao was so, and he didn't forget to laugh, "As soon as he made a move, it was the pearl of the night, and it seemed that it was really as Xiao Yizi said-extravagant!"
He needed to get used to the light, and Murong Lingfeng didn't need it. The little boy took this opportunity to look at him carefully. This person is moderately tall, not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, with good facial features, and faintly handsome and domineering, presumably not an idle person. But Murong Lingfeng searched the database in her mind and couldn't find a task comparable to it. He looked very young, just a few years older than himself, about the same age as Yun Mo, and both his hair and nails were clean, so he didn't look like a person who had been here for more than forty years. The little boy subconsciously looked left and right, this kind of realization made her feel like she had fallen into a trap, but she quickly dispelled it, because the wall behind the person was engraved with Murong Lingfeng's familiar group, "Soul Snatching Array!"
"It seems that he is not only extravagant, but also well-informed!" the man quickly adjusted to the bright light and slowly opened his eyes. His smiling expression froze for a moment when he saw Murong Lingfeng's face clearly, and then shook his head again. The little guy who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old actually overlapped with the face he remembered. However, he soon dismissed his idea. This little guy is only three points like the person he remembers, at first glance it looks quite similar, but if you look closely, it is different everywhere. It should be said that this little guy is more beautiful and likable, and it really responds to Liu Yi's words, and being with her will make people feel very comfortable. "It's the first time I've seen someone better looking than Xiaoyue. The man whispered to himself, raised his voice and smiled and asked Murong Lingfeng, "Little guy, who are you, why did you come here?"
