Chapter 65: Identity Exposed?
In the evening, the insects still chirped, and a faint light could be seen through the window covered with layer of window paper, but the house was still pitch black.
Li Bai put his hands behind his head, and did not cover the linen quilt, so he lay down with his clothes.
Although the border land is cold, for now, the climate of the Tang Dynasty in the King Continent should be synchronized with the current earth.
At this time, it was the height of summer, even if it was late at night, the temperature was still not low, and even a little hot, but the Cold Moon Ice Spirit Sword Box containing the Tianhe Sword was leaning against the bed at this time, exuding a chill, and the temperature became suitable.
The old man's name is Yang Haike, he is the village leader of this Qian'an Village, and he can read some poetry and books, and he can read and break words, and the words on the wooden sign at the entrance of the village are written by him.
It's a pity that he was set in the Tang Dynasty at that time, missed the imperial examination, and wasted his life, and later inherited his father's business and became a knife and pen official in the yamen, barely making a living.
However, the salary of the small officials in the Tang Dynasty was too low, and he disdained to be in the same stream with those flies and dogs, and he was used to being poor.
Muramasa is the village chief of the Tang Dynasty, taken from Bai Ding, and the so-called demon knife Muramasa is not the same thing.
Yang Haike is not strictly speaking, but he lost his son in his early years, and there was no one to take care of him after his death.
Li Bai was lying on the bed, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, motionless, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
But he still turned on the live broadcast and didn't speak, just frowning, as if he was closing his eyes and pondering something.
Many viewers couldn't bear the loneliness and turned to do other things, and the barrage seemed a little sparse.
Although he had already told them, there was an awakened one hidden in the village, and it was possible that the other party would come out tonight.
Still, the number of viewers online is around a million, and many viewers are doing other things while they are on the stream, waiting for what is likely to happen in the evening.
Li Bai was staying at Yang Haike's house, and in the afternoon he went out on an excuse and traveled all over the village, but he did not notice anything unusual.
Later, he also asked some villagers in a roundabout way, but still found nothing.
Everything was eerily quiet, like a truly peaceful village.
But this is clearly unusual.
First of all, since the system states that there are awakened people in this place, then there are absolutely them.
And after the Awakened Person's appetite changes, it is difficult to suppress the appetite for humans, so they will definitely eat people, just like the Tokyo Cuisine, which cannot be suppressed at all.
Even human beings who claim to be civilized will eat their children and cook them when they are hungry to the limit, not to mention the awakened ones whose appetite is magnified tenfold.
This so-called Qian'an Village is not a big village, and there are not many people coming and going, if any one person goes missing, it is a great event, and it is still calm, which can only explain two problems.
Either the Awoken had just arrived in the village, and had yet to attack anyone other than devoured the target he was currently disguised as.
Either the awakened person sensed the danger, temporarily suppressed his appetite, and was waiting for an opportunity.
If it was the former, all doubts would be solved, he just needed to wait for the other party to make a move, and then follow the vine to find the awakened person hidden behind the scenes, and kill him.
But if it's the latter...... What kind of existence can make the awakened who can compete with the highest demon species at the lowest level be afraid to the point of suppressing their appetite?
He remembered the strong blood qi he felt in the Hua family's mansion when he wandered around the village during the day, although he was a little weak, he was still angry, and he was only one line away from the martial arts master who had entered the martial arts realm in the martial arts realm.
He guessed that it was Mulan's father, Hua Arc, and only Hua Arc was worthy of the fear of the awakened, Mulan's swordsmanship inherited from his father was simply exquisite, the tiger father had no dog girl, and the tiger girl could never have a dog father.
In addition, there are only a few Orions in the entire village who have practiced rough fists and feet and still have a bit of force, but I am afraid that they are not as good as an ordinary Tang Army on the border, and they are completely negligible.
Although in the King Continent, martial arts masters are far less transcendent than martial arts immortals, but they are also rare because martial arts are easy to learn and not easy to master.
Speaking of such a powerful warrior but nesting on the edge of the Great Wall has been a commander of the folding, I have to say that this position is not worthy of its strength, presumably it was also a complex and tortuous story back then.
Li Bai frowned.
The Hua family is also in this village, and they are all Mulan's relatives there, which is bound to make Li Bai unbearable to sit still, waiting for the opportunity for the awakened to show their feet.
In case Mulan's sisters, their parents are killed by the Awakened, then how can he have the face to see Mulan again?
He made up his mind that he was going to sit at his father-in-law's house tomorrow, although people may not be willing to admit his identity.
Since ancient times, it has been a difficult thing for this son-in-law to see his father-in-law, thinking about this, Li Bai is really a little hesitant, after all, he doesn't have a token in his hand, how to win the trust of Lao Hua is really a problem.
This night, he didn't dare to cultivate, the awakened person's perception of the power of heaven and earth was also very keen, and what he was showing now was just a slightly stronger scholar, which was an excellent way to hide his identity.
He suddenly glanced at the barrage, thought of something, and frowned, "Have you noticed anything wrong with this village?"
[It's normal, what's wrong?]
[I didn't find it, do you want to guess who the awakened one is?]
[Did you guess right?]
[I've read too many novels upstairs, and I'm laughing at me, that's absolutely impossible!]
Li Bai frowned, the sixth sense of a cultivator is stronger than that of mortals, and his divine sense is destined for him to be able to find more clues, so even if there are millions of viewers watching online, he may not be able to find anything.
He asked the audience to go to the doctor because he was really at a loss.
And the reason why he didn't turn off the live broadcast today is because he knows very well that there should be a big drama in the last few nights, and if he encounters King Lanling like that night, he will lose a little.
The audience will also feel that the plot is not connected.
However, until the sound of roosters sounded, the morning light gradually seeped into the house, and there was still no change, and the village was terrifyingly calm, which made Li Bai, who had been empty for a night, slightly impatient.
[Xiaobai, nothing happened?]
[I always feel like I've been tricked......]
[It's so hateful, it's all night for nothing. 】
Li Bai stretched, stood up, and sighed: "The crew didn't explain it to me when they arranged this plot, so I need to find out the awakened person with my true ability within three days." ”
"Otherwise, the plot will change, and in the end, it will even lead to me not being able to marry Mulan in the future, which is unbearable, so I have worked hard for everyone in the past two days. ”
Of course, this is his nonsense.
[Phew, then don't look for it, Huahua is destined to be this baby's. 】
[Roll rough, it's labor-management!]
[This live broadcast is new, it's like a real crossing.] 】
[But you're not afraid that the plot will collapse if you're doing this?]
[That is, if I can't marry Mulan, I will abandon the pit!]
[Abandon it, those who really abandon the pit will be abandoned directly, I've seen too many shakes like you shouting about abandoning the pit. 】
[That's right, even if the anchor feeds me, I will be willing to eat it and have a good aftertaste.] 】
[Upstairs is disgusting!]
[Disgusting +1.]
When I opened the door, I saw an old man with a white beard knocking on the door.
It's only four o'clock now, but Yang Haike has already gotten up, this is because in ancient times, it was dark early, lamp oil was expensive, and civilians had no nightlife at all, so they went to bed early and got up very early.
Smelling a chicken dancing is a common occurrence.
"Yang Gong. Li Bai arched his hand.
Yang Haike nodded and said, "The cold house is rough, which makes Lang Jun smile." ”
Li Bai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Thanks to Yang Gong, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid I would have to sleep in the countryside today." ”
Yang Haike was obviously very useful to such words, and nodded: "Let's go have some breakfast." ”
After eating, Li Bai said to Yang Haike: "Yang Gong, I will go around the village today. ”
Yang Haike frowned and said: "What has improved in the village, the old man thinks that you are not shallow, but today, the saint Enke, there are many scholars from all over the world, among which there are countless outstanding generations, but don't be arrogant." ”
Li Bai smiled bitterly: "It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, if you really want to be an official, you can only understand the people's sufferings can only be clay sculpture county order, wood carving knows the county." Don't say that it is a good thing to benefit one party, and it is a good thing not to harm the people. ”
Yang Gong's face was a little pale, and he nodded: "There is some truth in what you say, go early and return early." ”
Li Bai nodded, and then went straight to Huafu.
Although Huafu is a mansion, it is not a high-ranking family, in fact, it is equivalent to a small landlord, relying on the thin field that was rewarded by the war exploits of the commander of the flower arc back then.
At best, it's just a well-off home.
But instead of going through the main entrance, he chose to climb over the low wall.
This is because there are many people, and he doesn't want others to find out that he has contact with Huafu.
Because as a thorn in the eyes of the awakened on the bright side, its monitoring of Huafu must be not small.
Now that the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, one of the advantages of Li Baiweiyi is that he is also in the state of the enemy in the dark and I am in the light, and now it is up to see who discovers the identity of the other party first, so it is bound to take the first hand advantage, and even kill with one blow!
The backyard of Huafu has been transformed into a simple martial arts arena, and at this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man with a spear is churning on the martial arts arena.
Li Bai sneaked up quietly, a glimmer of light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the spear came out of his hand and was nailed directly an inch in front of Li Bai.
"Who's here?" shouted the man, not angry.
Lee saddled out with his sword case on his back.
He has now made up his mind not to confess the relationship between himself and Mulan, and it is better to brush the friendliness of his father-in-law first.
"Your Excellency is a flower arc?" Li Bai arched.
The middle-aged man saw that he was reasonable, and his tone softened slightly: "It's a certain family, who are you, why are you sneaky and trespassing into private houses?"
Li Bai thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I am a demon hunter. ”
Hua Arc frowned: "Demon Hunter...... You mean, there's a demon seed infiltrating our Qian'an village?"
The complexion of the flower arc is not good-looking, and the place where the demon hunter haunts often represents the appearance of the demon seed, and over time, it has become synonymous with death, and many civilians talk about it.
In fact, the witcher is just like a crow, and the crow is not a foreshadowing of bad luck, but the result is that because the crow likes to eat carrion, it often flies after the corpse, and over time it has become synonymous with death.
Li Bai said: "That's right, that's right, but it's not just an ordinary demon seed, but also an awakened one." ”
Hua Arc's brows furrowed even tighter, he knew very well what the three words Awakened represented, powerful, death and terrifying, even the lowest level of Awakened, its strength was extraordinary, and its special abilities made it a killing machine born for battle after transforming into a giant beast.
And although he is close to the martial arts master, he is now over half a hundred years old, and he has injuries, and the strength he can exert is less than half of his heyday, and he is afraid that he can't even compare to his talented little daughter.
If you want to deal with the awakened alone, it's really hard to do it alone.
"The Awakened...... How did the Awoken hide in the village, they shouldn't be able to transform into human form, right?"
Li Bai said: "I don't know, but that's the case." ”
"How can I trust you?"
Li Bai said: "I don't need you to believe it, I just hope that your lordship can be strictly guarded recently, and if the awakened person commits a crime and exposes his deeds, your Excellency can help me." ”
Hua Arc nodded: "Your news is really reliable?"
Li Bai said solemnly: "It's true. ”
Hua Arc nodded with a heavy face: "So...... I believe you, as soon as the battle starts, I will rush over immediately, but as a demon hunter, there is no way for you to find out the awakened one in advance?"
Li Bai shook his head: "The Awakened can't be incarnated into a human form, I don't even know how the other party disguises himself as an adult, how can I talk about how to crack it?"
Hua Arc nodded: "Are you going to live in a certain mansion recently?"
Li Bai shook his head and said, "No, I live in the house of Yang Gong in the village." ”
Hua Arc said: "That's good, Yang Pingping is the most hospitable." ”
Li Bai suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, have any scholars passed by Qian'an Village recently?"
Hua Arc was surprised: "Yes, it's just that they've all left, why are you asking this?"
Li Bai's face was shocked: "I seem to be who the awakened person is." ”
"Who?"
Li Bai shook his head: "At present, I am just guessing, I can't be sure, but the situation is urgent, since there is a suspicion, you and I might as well give him a try." ”
