Chapter 49: The Talking Tiger Demon
The village is not large, with only a few dozen families from a distance, and the population is no more than 100 at most. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the edge of the scorched plain, and although the density of the aura is still much thinner than in other places, some greenery can be seen after all.
In particular, the golden waves rolling on the acres of wheat are gratifying.
The group supported each other and walked into the village, but before they took a few steps, Boss Wu said with a solemn face: "The situation here is not right, it's too quiet, I didn't be like this when I came in the past, there are several children in this village, they usually play at the entrance of the village, every time I come, the children will look at me, hoping to get one, Two grains of candy to eat, but now they are gone, and the original village should not be so quiet, the sound of the third Liu blacksmith striking iron in the third room on the left, I have never stopped no matter when I come all year round, and the villagers' entertainment methods are also very simple, and they will gather in groups to chat and play cards when they are bored, but now there is no sound, and a villager can't see it, it's really weird. ”
"Then what should I do, young master?"
It was Wu Er, a monk in the late stage of Qi cultivation who was seriously injured, who was said to be a retainer of Boss Wu.
"Otherwise, why don't we go back first?
The person who answered was a relatively timid mid-stage Qi cultivator.
"Retreat, retreat there, Jiaoyuan? We can't go there today, if you want to think of Hongfeng County, this village is the only way to go, and if we don't pass through this village, we can only return to Jiaoyuan and go back from the original road. ”
Boss Wu said with an unhappy face.
"Hey... However, it's not a matter of pestle here, since you can't retreat, let's go, go inside and take a look, I don't know if Li Daoyou agrees with the opinions below?
It was the language of the wind that spoke, and one word determined the direction of the team, but he only asked Li Yu's opinion.
"I have no opinion" Li Yu was expressionless, as if the current predicament had nothing to do with him.
Smiling helplessly, the language of the wind took the lead and walked forward.
All the way to a rock-made house.
"This is the village chief's house, and it is also the best house in this village, every time I come to the village, I settle here, if there is any clue left, then it must be left here. ”
Boss Wu pointed to a two-story stone house.
Wind Whisper smiled, "Oh, it seems that we need to go in and have a look!"
As he spoke, he was the first to head towards the stone house.
"Be careful, since there may be clues here, then it can't be ruled out that there will be danger!"
Hearing the words of the wind coming from the front, everyone was obviously much nervous, and with careful vigilance, everyone approached the gate of the stone house.
A red-lacquered gate one and a half tall and four people wide.
"Knock Knock"
The Whisper of the Wind knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time.
Turning to the crowd, he said, "It seems that there is no ...... here."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums.
"Well!?The direction of the voice is the ancestral hall of the back mountain, I have been to the village chief once, and I will never be wrong, this voice is definitely coming from the location of the ancestral hall. Boss Wu was puzzled at first, and then affirmed.
"Let's go, go and see"
With an order, the words of the wind once again took the lead towards the ancestral hall.
Hearing what Feng Zhiyu said, Boss Wu immediately said: "Feng Daoyou, these guards are really a little seriously injured, and they have walked back and forth many times in such a tense atmosphere, and my body may not be able to support it, so it is better for them not to go here to recuperate, and we can go and investigate." ”
"It's better not to separate if the situation here is unknown, otherwise no one knows what will happen"
The person who answered was Li Yu.
"Hehe... Li Daoyou's words are reasonable, so please insist on it!"
Feng Zhiyu glanced at Li Yu with a smile, and then stepped forward again.
The words of the wind were in front, Li Yu was in the tail, wrapping the others in the middle, arranging their two strongest combat forces in this most common and effective formation, and then carefully and vigilantly headed towards the ancestral hall.
After coming to the ancestral hall, seeing the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Poof"
Wind whisper finally couldn't help but laugh.
The entire village of people who had disappeared was now on top of the ancestral hall, worshipping a god.
The six animals, horses, and cattle used for sacrifice in front of the statue platform. There are many sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs, and the villagers are kneeling on the ground praying for blessings.
The idol has three heads and six arms, one side is compassionate, one side is hideous, one side is invisible, one hand is holding a mace, one hand is holding a mirror, one hand is pinching, one hand is holding a sword, one hand is holding a tower, one hand is clenched into a fist, and the feet are two voids, forming a roaring shape.
The earth-shattering drums are full of piety.
At this time, Boss Wu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he was the only one who had been to this village, and he also said that there was something wrong with this village.
"It's strange, the Blue Vine Festival is not this time, why did the villagers start to worship the gods at this time?"
"I don't know, but I guess we can ask them clearly after the sacrifice is over, and the wounded should breathe on the spot!" It was the words of the wind that resolved Boss Wu's embarrassment.
Silently, Li Yu and his party were either recuperating or contemplating the problem, and the prayer was not finished until an hour later.
Then a group of witches kneeling in front of the many villagers began to dance the great gods, dancing strangely and mysteriously.
At this point, the most important part of the sacrifice is over.
After finding out the old village chief from the crowd watching the witch dance, the shopkeeper Wu immediately asked, "Old Xie, there is still some time before the day of the Blue Vine Festival, why did your sacrifice begin?"
Seeing Boss Wu, the old village chief was obviously surprised, and then said in a panic: "Immortal Master Wu, why are you here?" Quick, quick, follow me first, hey... It's such a coincidence, what kind of thing is this!"
The face was inexplicable, and everyone, including Boss Wu, was all in the clouds.
"What the hell is going on?
As soon as the shelf belonging to the monk was taken out, the old village chief dared to say anything else, let alone forcibly take everyone away.
A few days ago, a white-haired three-eyed tiger demon suddenly appeared, and he had to force our small village to hand over some treasures, you say, in our small village, how can we hide it if there are really treasures, but the tiger demon doesn't believe it, so he ate several people, and said that he will come in a few days, and if he can't get the treasure, he will slaughter the village, which is really wrong!"
The old village chief knocked his hands together, and his expression was indescribably sad.
"Oh! there is such a thing," Boss Wu continued majestically.
"If there is half a lie, it will be called the old man, I can't die well when I thunder and split, and it is for this reason that we held a sacrificial ceremony, ready to take out the holy relics left by the great god of ambush, hoping that the holy relics can make the tiger demon satisfied and shelter our village from this disaster, so ah! Wu Xianshi, you will go with me first, and so on the tiger demon is coming, the tiger demon's mana is unfathomable, once you misunderstand that you are the helpers I invited, it will be terrible!" the old village chief swore emotionally.
"Hmph, I see, what are you afraid of, but what is a mere tiger demon, we naturally ......."
"Ahem... Thinking that the holy relics of the great god of ambush must be able to satisfy the tiger demon, we don't have to do more, the village will inevitably be destroyed when the fight is together, and it will not end well if the casualties are not counted, please lead the way with the village chief, we avoid the tiger demon. But it was the words of the wind that interrupted Boss Wu's words.
"Thank you for your understanding, thank you for your understanding!"
The old village chief thanked the wind whispering.
After a polite conversation with the village chief, Feng Zhiyu explained to Boss Wu again: "After all, I don't know the realm cultivation of that tiger demon, and there are many wounded soldiers on our side, so this kind of thing can be avoided!"
Just as the old village chief led the way and was about to welcome everyone to rest elsewhere, Li Yu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Wait, what you just repeated is that the tiger demon said that he will come in a few days, and if he can't get the treasure, he will slaughter the village?"
Saying a word, Li Yu bit an extremely heavy tone.
Everyone was shocked and reacted, and then they all looked at the old village chief nervously.
Or Boss Wu opened his mouth first: "Old Xie, this matter is not a joke, are you sure that the tiger demon has spoken?"
The tone is so nervous that even a fool can feel that something is wrong, let alone the head of a village.
"Yes... Right... Yes, is there a problem?"
Affected by Boss Wu and others, the old village chief's voice also trembled.
"Hurry up, get out of this village, damn it, those who can speak human words are at least the great demons of the earth-shattering period!"
It was still Boss Wu who spoke, and the figure of Li Yu at this stall had long since disappeared, and the words of the wind had never slowed down by half a step.
However, it was still too late, and a black wind in the sky swept a figure from afar.
With a loud "bump", the black wind fell on the square of the ancestral hall, and it was a majestic white-haired three-eyed tiger demon.
At this time, the direction in which Li Yu and the others left was opposite to the tiger demon, and the figure suddenly appeared, it was really declining1
"Well, there are immortal cultivators? haha... Hmph, I really don't know whether to live or die, you stupid human races really don't want to hand over the treasures to me, and you dare to find immortal cultivators who want to destroy your Uncle Tiger, when your Uncle Tiger is a dish......!
The roar was loud and reverberating.
"Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding! Uncle Tiger believes in the little one! Let's hand over the treasure, and we will hand it over. ”
The old village chief fell to his knees and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
There is no way in, there is no way out, at this time Li Yu and others are the most embarrassed, but they dare not do anything.
"Yes, that's not right."
With the sound, a wind blade struck the tiger demon directly.
This scene made everyone's eyes split, and they felt that the last trace of vitality was also broken
"Is this bastard crazy in the language of the wind?" and this is also the word that comes to everyone's mind.
