Chapter 197: The Past
Chapter 197 [Past Events]
"Come, I'll salute the immortal master with a bowl. A sturdy man said to Lei Lin with a large bowl of wine.
Seeing this, Lei Lin naturally unceremoniously picked up a bowl of wine and drank with him, at this time the whole village was full of laughter, the men held a big bowl and drank and ate meat, and the women sang and danced around the fire, who would have imagined that three days ago this village was still lifeless, but now it is so vibrant.
Since Lei Lin opened the altar three days ago, the rain has been raining for three days and three nights, and now that the rain has just stopped, the villagers will take out the things that have been treasured for a long time to entertain Lei Lin and others, and even the old Tao has poured several bowls of wine in a row, and now he is bragging about his deeds of killing demons and demons.
The strong man who was toasting walked up to Lei Lin after drinking, and after a while, the two of them started chatting.
"Daoist Lei, don't look at the desolate place now, there are no people, when I was a child, there were mountains and rivers here, you see that there used to be a mountain range over there, and there were several villages around, not to mention four or five, but now, there is only one village left. β
Speaking of this, the strong man seemed to be a little sad, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all, while Lei Lin didn't say anything on the side, just listened quietly, it seemed that the strong man had finally found a way to vent, or maybe it was the effect of alcohol, and he told all the bitterness he had held in his heart for many years.
It turned out that this strong man was the son of the captain of the hunting team in this village, then their hunting team was famous around, and every time they went into the mountains to hunt, they could always return with a full load, and the casualties were very small, especially they could also hit some things that other village hunting teams could not hunt, and one of his favorite things to do when he was a child was to stand at the head of the village and wait for his father and those uncles and uncles to return to the village.
But all this changed twenty years ago, when he was bedridden due to illness, and his father took care of him at home and did not go to the hunt, and finally his second uncle took a dozen people into the mountains, according to the usual hunting will not exceed three days at most, but after five days, no one came back, which made the people in the village a little worried, and after he recovered from his illness, his father immediately took a dozen people into the mountain, but after three days passed, no one came out, which made the people in the village restless, and when they were about to discuss whether to send a few more people to the forest to see what was happening, a terrible thing happenedγ
Speaking of this, the strong man picked up the bowl and drank several bowls of wine in a row, even after so many years, it was still shocking to look back, he clearly remembered that day the originally clear sky suddenly became gray, and then everyone saw several huge meteorites falling from the sky and smashing down on them, and since then this land has no life, the stream is broken, the trees are withered, the earth is dry and cracked, and all the good things in the past are destroyed in this catastrophe.
And one of the largest meteorites fell directly into the mountains not far away, and since then there are no more mountains here, and all the beasts have disappeared, which also makes the last hope of the strong man to find his father shattered, and there are only three villages left around the village, just when people silently bear the pain caused by this natural disaster, something more terrifying happened, that year, the rainy season that would have been a continuous rainstorm ended with a few light rains, and since then this land seems to be cursed, the rain is getting less and less every year, and in the end, the remaining two villages are really unbearable, and they have moved elsewhere, only their village is still silently sticking to its homeland.
Looking around now, who can imagine that twenty years ago it was a land of green mountains and clear waters, birds and flowers, and now all that remains is the dry earth and desperate people, and the will in their hearts that will not give in.
When the strong man said this, he poured a few bowls of wine violently, maybe he finally told the things that he had suppressed for many years, his whole body was extremely relaxed, and finally fell asleep groggily.
After listening to his story, Lei Lin poured a bowl of wine, and looked up in the direction of the original mountain range, since he came to this village, he had been keenly catching a strange fluctuation from that direction, he didn't know where it was, but now he could be basically sure.
"Looks like I'm going to take a trip, hey, I didn't expect that. β
At this time, Lei Lin had decided to help this group of poor mortals, not for himself, because the perseverance, simplicity, and yearning for life of the people here deeply moved him.
When the morning sun shone on the earth again, Wei Yu felt a faint voice in his ears.
"Who is this, I'm so sleepy, let me sleep again. β
Suddenly, a hot pain hit, Wei Yu immediately hugged his head, and the sleepiness just now also dissipated in this pain, and then Wei Yu found that Lei Lin and Cang Hong were already standing in front of him, and the pain just now was caused by Cang Hong knocking on his head.
"Master, sir, what are you?"
Before Wei Yu could figure out what was going on, Cang Hong had already tugged at his ear and said:
"You're lazy, get up and go. β
"Ahh Wei Yu looked at the sky outside that had just turned white and said.
"You kid has so much nonsense, Mr. said he was leaving, don't ask so much, follow up. β
After speaking, Cang Hong didn't pay attention to Wei Yu, and followed Lei Lin to the outside of the village, Wei Yu had no choice but to rub his eyes when he saw this, and hurriedly followed.
When an hour later, the people in the village got up one after another, and then they found that the three people who rescued Lei Lin had disappeared without a trace, and the old people in the village hurriedly bowed down when they saw this scene, of course, this is all a later story.
Continuing to talk about Lei Lin's side, under the leadership of Lei Lin, it only took half an hour, and the three of Lei Lin came to the mountain range that the strong man said, only to see that there was still the slightest shadow of the mountain range in front of them, and only a basin appeared in front of everyone, and the three of them were standing at the edge of this basin at this time.
"Sir, look there!" Wei Yu said suddenly, pointing to a place in front of him.
After hearing this, Lei Lin and Cang Hong looked in the direction they pointed, only to see that in the center of the basin there was an area that was almost emitting billowing black smoke, and at this time, they could only see a vague piece with the naked eye, and they couldn't see what it was at all.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. After saying that, Leylin took the lead and walked down.
"Huh?"
As soon as Lei Lin stepped into the basin, he immediately felt a strange force enveloping the three of them, and then the scene in front of them immediately changed, the original basin disappeared, and a mountain range appeared in front of their eyes
"Illusion, but I didn't see any traces of the formation arrangement," Thinking of this, Lei Lin looked around, and at this glance, he found that Cang Hong and Wei Yu had disappeared, and he was the only one around at this time.
Seeing this, Lei Linna still didn't know that someone had specially separated them, but he was not in a hurry, Cang Hong and Wei Yu had been cultivating with him for so many years, and there should be no problem in saving their lives, and now the top priority is to break all this in front of him.
Thinking of this, Lei Lin didn't do anything to restrain himself, the breath of the gestation stage immediately spread, and the huge spiritual sense swept around, but in the next second, he was a little blind, because under his spiritual sense, there was still a mountain range around it, and he didn't even see the slightest trace of the formation.
This is strange, at this moment, a long arrow shot out from the woods not far away, this arrow came very abruptly, as a pregnant god stage Lei Lin did not even notice the slightest, but Lei Lin's reaction speed was still very fast, just a slight side of the body to avoid the attack of this long arrow.
With a thud, the arrow slashed in front of him and sank directly into a large tree beside him, which was about to pierce the tree.
"What a great archery!" Lei Lin secretly admired.
At this moment, three more long arrows shot over, and when Lei Lin saw that his spiritual sense moved slightly, the three long arrows that shot at him immediately deviated from the trajectory and shot past him, without hurting him in the slightest.
"Enough fun, come out. β
After saying that, Leylin's figure disappeared in a flash, and the next moment he came behind a man who was staring not far away with a longbow in his hand.
"Have you seen enough?"
Lei Lin's words suddenly sounded from behind him, and the face of the person who was still staring at the front changed drastically, and he didn't think about taking out a dagger from his waist and stabbing Lei Lin behind him with a backhand.
But how cultivated Lei Lin is, for this kind of attack, he just raised his hand and grabbed it gently, and the dagger that was stabbing at Lei Lin was held in his hand in a blink of an eye, and the man with the bow watched the dagger in his hand disappear without the slightest pause, and with the strength under his feet, his body jumped to the tree next to him, and began to flee quickly into the distance.
Looking at the man who was fleeing quickly, Lei Lin shook the dagger in his hand lightly, only to hear a whoosh, a miserable scream sounded not far away, and saw that the man who had just escaped not far away had been nailed to the tree with a dagger at this time.
"Have you had enough? Can you tell me why you're attacking me now?"
The man, who was already a little desperate, was stunned after hearing Lei Lin's words, and said in disbelief:
"You're not a fire beast, you're not here to eat me?"
Hearing the man's words, Leylin asked:
"What is a flame beast? Why should I eat you?"
Hearing Lei Lin's answer, the man was stunned again, and then asked with some uncertainty:
"You don't know the Flame Beast, you... You're coming in from the outside?"
"Well, I was attacked by you as soon as I came in. β
The man finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lei Lin's affirmative answer, and then hurriedly said:
"Misunderstanding, I thought you were a person turned into a flame beast, let me go and have something to say, it's too uncomfortable. β
"Yes, but you have to answer some of my questions, and if you don't satisfy me, I won't eat people, but I'll kill people. β
After saying that, Leylin pulled the dagger from the tree, and the man fell from the tree.
"Oops, my ass. The man who fell to the ground rubbed his buttocks and stood up, only then did the man begin to observe his Lei Lin carefully, looking back and forth for about two or three breaths, and seemed to be sure that Lei Lin was really not the fire beast he just said, so he continued.
(To be continued.) οΌ
