"Mandibles?"

The old man stopped, turned to look at Jiang Yao behind him, and then focused his eyes on the bone with half a row of teeth in the other party's hand, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh, where am I supposed to go, it was you. ”

After a brief moment of surprise, the old man's expression quickly regained his composure. I saw him turn around and walk in front of Jiang Yao, reach out and take the jawbone in Jiang Yao's hand, gently wipe it with his sleeve, and said:

"Where did you find this?"

"...... in your room Under the cupboards. Jiang Yao observed the old man's expression and whispered.

"So it's out there, huh...... I have to thank you for helping me find it. The old man looked at Jiang Yao with a smile on his face. "Do you think this thing is a human jaw?"

“…… Isn't it?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked at the mandible bone in the old man's hand again, that thing didn't look like a fake no matter how it looked, and the shape was extremely similar to a human bone.

"Alas...... Idiot. Yuan Yuan glanced at Jiang Yao disdainfully, as if he was too lazy to complain, while the gluttony on the side was gloating and almost laughed.

"Hehe, you don't know anything about our Changyou clan, and you can't be blamed for that. The old man spoke slowly, and finally opened his mouth to relieve the siege. "Look, I'll tell you right now, this thing...... What is it. ”

After speaking, the old man carefully wiped the jawbone in his hand again, and then supported his chin with the tiger's mouth with one hand, and held the jawbone with half a row of teeth in the other hand, in a burst of magic light, Jiang Yao saw that the mandible bone in the old man's hand gradually merged into the old man's chin, and at the same time, another similar mandible fell off the old man's chin and fell into the old man's palm. This strange operation beyond common sense made Jiang Yao dumbfounded.

"This, this is ......!?" Jiang Yao was dumbfounded, speechless for a while.

"Like you humans, our teeth fall out with age, and our bite force decreases. The old man stroked the jawbone he had replaced in his hand and explained slowly.

"But unlike you humans who can use dentures, our bodies have a rejection of foreign grafts, so we have evolved the ability to periodically shed some of our jaw tissue as a backup when we are young, and replace aging teeth and jaws when we are old. Of course, when the jaw falls off at a young age, it grows quickly, which is also a unique ability of our species. ”

The old man said, showing the jawbone that he had replaced in his hand in front of Jiang Yao. Jiang Yao took a closer look, and sure enough, he found that the mandible bone he had replaced was quite old, and his teeth were almost lost.

"Since our Changyou clan is an ape demon, it is indeed very similar to you humans in terms of bone shape, so it's no wonder you are mistaken. The old man smiled and put away the jawbone in his hand. "I'm sorry to scare you, but you should think of this as your human dentures. ”

How can there be dentures that are replaced with the jaw......

Jiang Yao held his forehead, feeling that he was almost powerless to complain, and after the misunderstanding was resolved, the last remaining guard in his heart finally disappeared. After calming down a little, he looked up at the old man again, and said seriously:

"I'm really sorry for misunderstanding you and causing you so much trouble......"

"You don't have to apologize, things have developed to this point, my clan can't escape the blame, and you are the ones who are implicated. The old man shook his head and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yao and the glutton. "Now I just want to know, since you have defeated that 'living corpse', where did the 'Chiyou Spirit' in its body end up?"

"This ......"

Facing the old man's questioning, Jiang Yao was speechless for a while. Of course, he knew that the wisp of soul was attracted by the Chiyou main soul 'Fetal Light' in his body, and it had been integrated into his body, but at the same time, Jiang Yao also knew that once the matter of Chiyou soul in his body was exposed, he was afraid that it would cause endless trouble, which he definitely didn't want to see.

"That soul was originally used as a material for refining demon Gu and was bound to a 'Flying Head Barbarian', that is, the 'living corpse' that harassed you. And after we defeated the 'Flying Head Man', the other party's soul was scattered. ”

Just when Jiang Yao hesitated, he shrugged his shoulders when he saw the gluttony on the side, and opened his mouth calmly.

"Now that the 'Flying Man' is gone, the remnant soul must have lost its restraints and left on its own, right? ”

“…… Don't you even know?" the old man stared at the gluttonous expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Although your position is no longer what it used to be, I thought you would be paying some attention to the whereabouts of that soul, after all...... That's the soul of Chiyou-sama. ”

"No matter how much you pay attention, that adult can't come back. Gluttony said, raising his eyes to look at the stars that were about to disappear in the sky, and his red eyes were calm like water. "Rather than having his soul be the source of strife, it is better to be scattered freely in the sky than to be used as a prop. ”

"Gluttony, how can you say such a thing?" Yuan Yuan was immediately angry when he heard this, and strode in front of Gluttony and reprimanded.

"Back then, Lord Chiyou launched the 'Ancient War' for the survival of our demons, but in the end, he fell into a situation where his soul was scattered and could not be reincarnated forever...... And you, as the most powerful subordinate of Lord Chiyou, not only turned to the side of humans and became their lackey, but also so indifferent to the remnants of Lord Chiyou!

"Alas...... It's all this rhetoric, and I'm tired of hearing it for more than a century. ”

The gluttony spread his hands with a helpless face. "Instead of having the energy to preach to me, it is better to investigate the mastermind behind this 'farce'. That guy not only knows that you are guarding the 'Spirit of Chiyou', but also has the ability to use it as a material for refining demon Gu, and it must not be easy behind it. Maybe the 'one spirit' that has dispersed has already been taken by the other party. ”

"Behind the scenes...... "The old man groaned, as if thoughtful.

"The man behind that...... Probably the same stocky man who took me from the village in the first place. He approached me and Tao Tao under the false identity of 'Wu Lao Liu', and lured us into the 'Demon Gu Array', trying to use us as materials for refining demon Gu...... He must have something to do with the "flying man". Jiang Yao pondered. "Just the real identity of that guy...... Who the hell is it?"

"No matter what that guy's identity is, now that the 'Demon Gu Array' has been destroyed, that guy shouldn't appear easily anymore. Tao Tao shook his head and said. "And after such a fuss, the Lingyutai headquarters will definitely come to investigate after dawn, even if we can avoid the pursuit of those people in the "Military Aircraft Department" in Changyou Village for the time being, it will be difficult to ensure that the night is long and dreamy, so we still have to leave here as soon as possible. ”

"But there should still be those 'special forces' lurking on the outskirts of the village, right? Once we leave the sphere of influence of Changyou Village, we will be caught in the net......," Jiang Yao said tangledly.

“…… You don't have to worry about that, someone is ready to take you away. The old man came back from his contemplation, then turned and pointed to the entrance of Changyou Village, which was already close ahead. "Look, it's over there. ”

Jiang Yao looked up and followed the old man's direction, and sure enough, he found that there seemed to be a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the village, and this figure had just said goodbye to them not long ago.

"Are you...... Uncle Yun??"

Jiang Yao looked at the old gentleman in a suit and leather shoes in surprise, and was a little in a trance for a while.

"Meet again, the two of you are fine. Uncle Yun smiled and saluted Jiang Yao, then moved his gaze to the gluttony on the side, and nodded lightly.

"Lu Shu?" Tao Tao raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised. "I thought you had already accompanied your eldest lady to leave Weiyang. ”

"I did plan to go back early, but I encountered some 'unexpected circumstances'. Uncle Yun smiled, and then the conversation changed. "Our eldest lady learned that you were in some trouble here in Xianxia Ridge, so she specially sent me to help you get out of here. ”

"Oh~ Is it so coincidental?How did you know that we were in trouble here?" Tao Tao looked at Uncle Yun with interest, as if waiting for the other party's answer, but Uncle Yun didn't seem to intend to explain too much.

"Hehe, our Chen family has its own 'internal channels' where we know the news. Now that the situation is urgent, I'm afraid now is not the time to explain, right?"

Uncle Yun smiled, reached out and took out an earthy yellow stone from his pocket, and gently threw it into the air. With a flash of crystal light, the stone floated towards a mountain at the end of the forest on the right as if it had a spirit, and in a blink of an eye, it all merged into the rock.

"Rumble......

A slight shock accompanied by the falling gravel came from the mountain, and I saw that the earthy yellow stone was submerged into the mountain stone, and a one-person-wide sheep intestine path was cracked, which was exactly the same as the road that Jiang Yao and Tao Tao came to this Changyou Mountain Xianxia Ridge.

"This is the 'opening stone' that I asked the land god to borrow temporarily, and it finally came in handy. Uncle Yun said, turning to Jiang Yao and Tao Tao again.

"This road leads to the woods on the outskirts of Weiyang, where the eldest lady has prepared a vehicle to meet you, and will quietly send you out of this area when the time comes. We've taken care of everything, so rest assured. ”

"Heh~ It seems that you are still prepared? Okay, then don't talk nonsense, let's go. ”

Gluttony smiled, and seemed to see that Uncle Yun had reservations, so he didn't bother to ask any more. I saw him wave his hand at everyone casually, which was regarded as a greeting, and then he took Jiang Yao's arm and turned around and walked towards the mountain path hidden in the forest on the right.

"This time, there is a labor chief's right family to help pick up people, so I will take those two and leave first. Uncle Yun said, and bowed respectfully to the people on Changyou.

"Be careful. The old man of the Miao people nodded, and watched Uncle Yun disappear at the end of the woods with Jiang Yao and gluttony.

"Patriarch, do you really believe that Tao Tao doesn't know the whereabouts of 'Chi You Soul'?" Seeing Tao Tao and the others leaving, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but open his mouth again.

"Who knows, no one ever knew what he was really thinking. The old man sighed. "Perhaps, as he said, it is better to wander between heaven and earth like this than to let the soul of Lord Chiyou become the source of strife among all parties. ”

The old man said, turning his head to look at the restored tranquility of Changyou Village behind him, and there was a deep helplessness buried between the eyebrows covered with ravines.

"The more greedy you are for what you don't belong to, the more you will bring disaster to your tribe, and you will end up with nothing. In the future, I only hope that the 'Kunlun tribe' will be able to ...... Shape up or ship out. ”
