Li leaned back on the couch, playing with the stone axe in his hand. Nearby, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed and breathing in a peculiar regularity.
"Fourth uncle, this axe is really that powerful? I don't think there's anything special about it. Li waved the stone axe in his hand and said disapprovingly.
"Hmph, I don't know what to say! This ancient artifact, how can you use it at will. The middle-aged man said in a cold voice.
"Then how can he?" asked Li, a little unconvinced.
"That's because he's got the approval of the machine spirit to exert a small part of its power. I advise you not to fight its idea, you know the fate of your third uncle. ”
Li's face changed, and he didn't say anything more.
After being silent for a while, Li said again: "Fourth uncle, depending on the situation, in another month, your skills will be fully recovered." ”
"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for more than ten years. For so many years, I have long been annoyed by being this city lord. ”
"When you're well, we'll go find my dad and them. ”
"I know there's a big thing waiting for us to do......"
After the meal, Lisi's grandfather hurriedly urged the three of them to leave.
On the way, the more Yi walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"This doesn't seem to be the way out of the city, right?" asked Yi suspiciously.
Yuqing and Ling, who were walking in front, stopped, and Yuqing said, "Who told you that we are going out of the city." ”
"Then what are you going to ......," Yi asked in surprise.
"Of course, it's to figure out the cause of people's strange diseases. Spirit said.
"You guys, why didn't you tell me?" Yi was a little unhappy.
"It's the same with you or not, it won't help you anyway. Yu Qing said.
"You ......"
It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.
It was as deserted as the rest of the city, and there was no one to see for half a day.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed ahead.
"Who?" the spirit was the first to see it, and chased after it, but found nothing.
"Let's go, that's all there is to see. Yuqing said.
"I'm going to see it, I'm almost tired......" Yi complained with a bitter face. But after being glared at by Yuqing, his later words were forcibly held back.
Pushing open the door, I saw from a distance that a middle-aged man was lying on the couch, his face was pale and he looked very weak.
"Hey, I didn't expect there to be anyone. Yi said in surprise.
Coming to the middle-aged man's side, Yuqing checked his pulse, which was very weak.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" said the middle-aged man as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the three of them.
"We were passing through this place and learned that the people here were afflicted with a strange disease, so we came to inquire about the situation. Yu Qing said.
"That's right. The middle-aged man sat up with the support of the spirit and continued: "My name is Zhen, and I am the city lord of this Jiangcheng. Alas, I advise you to leave. This is the power of the Divine, and you can't fight it. ”
"Your body is so weak, let me help you take a look. Yuqing said.
Zhen shook his head and said: "This is all an old problem many years ago, this time it is just a little more serious, I know my own body, so I won't bother you." ”
Yuqing wanted to say something more, and suddenly felt a dangerous aura. Apparently, the spirit felt it too. The two looked at each other and nodded.
"Brother Yi, you are here watching the Earthquake City Lord. After saying that, Yuqing went out with the spirit.
"Hey, you ......"
Seeing the two of them go out, Zhen didn't have the weak appearance he had before, he looked at Yi and laughed.
It's strange that when the two of them go out, the feeling of danger disappears without a trace.
Suddenly, Yuqing seemed to think of something, his face changed, and he hurriedly ran in again. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Yi and Zhen were gone.
"It seems that someone is really playing tricks. ”
"We've got to get him out. ”
After that, the two searched the entire City Lord's Mansion, but they didn't find Yi He, the City Lord. Seeing that it was getting late, they had no choice but to return to Lisi's home.
"You guys, why are you back again?" said Lisi a little anxiously when he saw them.
"We can't go for the time being, we need to find the root of this strange disease. Yu Qing said.
"But ......"
"Don't worry, Sisi, we're not ordinary people, the kind of strange disease we're not afraid of. ”
After learning that they were back, Grandpa was also very anxious. However, under the persuasion of Yuqing, Grandpa Li finally believed them and let them live at home. When asked about Yi, Yuqing, in order not to worry the grandfather and grandson, said that he had left in advance for the time being.
At night, Yuqing lay on the bed, thinking of the sincerity, simplicity and kindness of the grandfather and grandson, and couldn't help but think of Biluo Village, the grandfather, and the familiar faces in the village......
For several days, the city was calm. No one has that strange disease anymore, and those who have it have quieted down and no longer have the disease.
The clear water of the river flows slowly with colorful petals. The rain picked up the petals of the river and let the icy water leak through his fingers. Breathing in the fresh and natural breath, she felt as if she had returned to Biluo Village.
"Grandpa, I really miss you, and the little cutie ......"
In the distance, Ling looked at the back of Yuqing, silent.
The familiar black clothes were draped over his body again.
"Thank you. ”
The spirit came to her and said, "It's cold outside, so let's go back early." ”
Yuqing looked at the sky, involuntarily leaned his head on Ling's shoulder, and said, "Ling, do you like it here?"
"Hi, I like it. "The voice of the spirit is a little unnatural.
"I love it too. When I return to Biluo Village, I will also plant all kinds of flowers all over the village. I think that by that time, Biluo Village will definitely be even more beautiful than here. ”
"Well, yes. "Spirit's body stiffened a little.
"When the time comes, I hope we can still blow the wind and enjoy the flowers like we are now......"
An unknown place.
In the dark, Li pointed at a person on the ground with a stone axe and said, "Fourth uncle, you said he is really the son of the Yellow Emperor?"
"Of course, that thing is a dragon bone refined by the fire of the phoenix, and no one will have it except the Yellow Emperor. ”
"However, even if he is the son of the Yellow Emperor, why don't we dare to kill him?"
"It's not that he doesn't dare to kill him, it's that it's still useful for him to keep it. Xuanyuan Sword, only the blood of a person with the blood of the Yellow Emperor can open its divine power. Now, the son of the Yellow Emperor is in our hands, and the Xuanyuan Sword will definitely be in our pocket. ”
"It's still the fourth uncle who is far-sighted, and the nephew has been taught. ”
The sunset of the west mountain, like the bloody remnant sun stains the red sky.
The breeze blows, with a hint of coolness.
They were ready to go back.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
A faint cough could be heard in the distance.
The two looked at each other and left.
Zhen sat among the flowers, gasping for breath and coughing from time to time.
"Earthquake City Lord, why are you here?" asked Yuqing in surprise. Neither of them expected that they would meet Zhen here.
"That day, I don't know what was going on that day, as soon as you went out, I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I found it pitch black. Oh, that little brother with you is right next to me. I seemed to hear someone talking, but I couldn't hear it clearly. I don't know how long later, I heard someone say that I was too poor to be useful, and they released me. It took me a lot of effort to get here. He said with a heartache.
"You get up first, and we'll send you back. Yuqing said.
Sending Zhen back to the City Lord's Mansion, the two of them asked about the place where he had escaped, and hurried over. Yi had been missing for a few days, and now they only hoped that nothing would happen to him.
In a corner of Jiangcheng, they really found a very hidden hole. The cave is dark, damp, and narrow enough for only one person to pass through.
After walking for a while, the spirit suddenly stopped.
"Be careful, there seems to be something up ahead. ”
"Whoosh!" Ling quickly struck out and grabbed it in his hand. Then the faint light of the fire that Yuqing was holding, they saw that it was a snake, a snake of great venom. Normally, this snake is not found in such a place. Obviously, someone did it on purpose.
They know that the front is even more dangerous. Yuqing took the black piece that his grandfather gave him for self-defense, just in case.
I hadn't gone far when the road suddenly widened.
"Hello, meet again. ”
Li's sudden appearance really startled them.
"It's you!" Ling had a strange feeling when he saw Li. This person seems to be familiar to him, but he seems to be strange.
"It's me. But don't be afraid, don't worry, I'm not going to hit you this time, and I'm not going to do anything with you. Li said with a smile.
"What do you want to do?" asked Yuqing vigilantly.
"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you. ”
"What happened to you?" asked Yuqing.
"Oh, you're talking about that kid. Don't worry, I can't afford to hurt him. If you want to see him, come with me. ”
Since you have come, you cannot come in vain. Even if Li has any conspiracy, he has to fight him. That's what both of them thought in their hearts.
So, they quickly followed.
It is easy to lie on the ground and is unconscious. Li sat beside him, holding a hot black jar of green smoke in his hand, and he didn't know what he was doing.
"He's refining Gu. Ling whispered in Yuqing's ear. Yuqing didn't expect the spirit to be so close to her, and was startled.
"You, why are you so close to me?"
"I, I ......" Ling's face was full of embarrassment, unable to speak.
At this time, I only heard a low cry and put the black jar on the ground. The green smoke cleared, and when the black jar was opened, I saw a thumb-sized, black and bloodshot insect crawling into Li's hand. Yuqing only glanced at it and turned his head away from it. Ling Ze stared at the insect for a long time, as if he suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Soul Devouring Gu!"
Li looked up and said, "You remember." ”
"Do you want to use it to harm people again?" said Ling, with an angry face.
"No, no, I use it to save people. ”
"You're talking nonsense! It's obviously used to hurt people!"
"You haven't used it, how do you know it can't save people?"
Ling was speechless.
Li smiled, threw the stone axe to Ling, and said, "Give it back to you." ”
I took the stone axe and found no problems. Ling wondered, why did Li give it back to him?
Li then said, "This is your thing, I'm just borrowing it for a few days." By the way, don't you also know how to do Gu arts, let's discuss and discuss ...... together."
It was dark, but the rain and spirit had not returned.
"Grandpa, you said they wouldn't be in any danger. Li Si said with a worried face.
"Sisi, don't worry, they're not ordinary people, they'll be fine. ”
"Hmmm......"
In the darkness of the night, blood flashed. Jiangcheng, which has been calm for a few days, is destined to no longer be calm.
