Chapter 245: Ask the Roots
After hearing the fat man's words, the scene became noisy in an instant, many women fainted directly to the ground, and many people were crying, extremely sad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shao Yu is not a fool, he can guess from the performance of these villagers that the men who were eaten by monsters last night should be the villagers in this village, and these fainted people are their family members, and when they suddenly learned the bad news, they were excited for a moment and cried.
No wonder most of the onlookers were women and the elderly, and there were very few young men, probably because most of the men in the village had gone to that demonic canyon last night.
Although the old village chief was also very sad, as the head of a village, he still endured his grief at this time, and asked Shao Yu and the others: "Forgive the old man for bluntly speaking, since the two distinguished guests have encountered that monster, why can they retreat with their whole bodies, could it be that the two of them are really as these children said, and the gods can't descend to earth?"
The fat man just wanted to answer, Shao Yu touched the fat man with his elbow, signaling him to say the wrong thing before and not to say it anymore at the moment, and then he himself stepped forward and said: "Old man, you misunderstood, I am not a god, I am just a monk, I know some magic spells, yesterday was indeed extremely thrilling, but the monster did not attack us, so we escaped, we are here today, just to ask you some news about the monster, and wait for us to find out his details, and then work together to destroy the monster." ”
The old man sighed, the disappointment on his face was not concealed, and he said abruptly: "It's useless, although the old man doesn't know what the monk you just said is, but if you want to deal with the King of Linggu, unless the gods go down to earth, ordinary people will just send them to death." ”
What he said made Shao Yu a little stunned, this village was too primitive, and the people in the village had never heard of the word monk, and they didn't give hope to Shao Yu and the others. Thinking of this, Shao Yu glanced at the fat man and gestured to him with his eyes.
The fat man understood, and walked up to him with a grin, and said, "Old man, I tell you, the so-called "monks" are the secret words of our insiders, and in your words, they are what you call gods. ”
Who knew that the old man was not fooled at all, his face was serious, and he said solemnly: "Pretending to be a god is blasphemy, but it is a big crime, how can you make such a joke?"
Seeing that the village chief didn't want to believe it, Shao Yu took over and said, "That's it, old man, you should tell me, how can you believe us?"
The village chief shook his head and said, "I can't believe it, this is a cursed village, a banished realm, and it is impossible for the gods to visit here, let alone any gods to come here." ”
"What's going on?" asked Shao Yu.
"Anyway, it's okay if you want us to take you in, anyway, it's just a matter of living a little more and living a little less here, as for pretending to be a god, don't do it again in the future, this village can no longer bear the responsibility of the gods. The old man lamented, and it could be seen that his mind was very pessimistic, like a lamb to the slaughter, let alone resist, and he had no idea of escaping.
Not only the village chief, but everyone in the village was the same, all of them sat back and waited for death, fearful and helpless waiting to be slaughtered, not wanting to believe that there would be any force that could take them out of this predicament.
Still the fat man's eyes were flexible, he walked up to the village chief, held the village chief's chin with his hand, raised the village chief's head, and said loudly: "Okay, old man, don't be so pessimistic, how do you know that there are no gods who are idle and bored to come to you? Coincidentally, I and the two gods who are such boring over there have just come to your side to play." If you don't believe me, look ahead. ”
After speaking, the fat man stretched out a hand and raised his arm slightly against a boulder in the distance, and the boulder in the distance actually floated slowly with the trajectory of his hand until it hung in the air.
"How is it, old man, do you believe it now?" the fat man controlled the boulder with one hand, and at the same time talked triumphantly to the village chief.
The onlookers were basically frightened, the boulder weighed thousands of catties, and even the strongest people in their village could not shake even a penny, but this fat man was separated from such a distance, as if he was doing a trick, and directly let the boulder be suspended in mid-air, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
The old village chief was also dumbfounded at this time, could it be that these two guys really came down from heaven to help them survive this catastrophe?
The fat man's behavior was very effective, sometimes it was more effective to do something than to persuade blindly, Shao Yu's explanation just now was useless, and the fat man just showed his hand to make those villagers believe his words. Compared with the two, the gap is obvious.
The village chief took the lead in kneeling on the ground and begged sincerely: "I ask the two gods to be merciful, and use a little divine power to remove the monsters for us, and protect our lowly bodies with peace." The villagers looked at each other, and suddenly they all knelt down and begged Shao Yu and the others for help.
Seeing this scene, the fat man made a smug expression towards Shao Yu, Shao Yu ignored the fat man, he walked in front of the village chief, helped the village chief up, and said: "Since the two of us have arrived here, you are in trouble, and the two of us must do our best, but I still don't know what is going on here, even if I want to help, I have more than enough strength but not enough!"
At this time, the village chief was very excited, and when he heard this, he said happily: "The two gods are willing to take action for the life of our ants, and they are kind and admirable. ”
The old man said, taking the lead in leading the way, and Shao Yu and the fat man followed
Behind him, there was a group of villagers surrounding him, and they all followed him to the old village chief's house.
Shao Yu and the fat man all subconsciously glanced at the large group of villagers who were following behind, and looked at each other with a wry smile, still a little uncomfortable.
"It doesn't matter, there are no secrets in our village that can't be shared, let alone such a big thing. Seeing Shao Yu and the fat man, it seemed that he was not at ease with the large number of villagers who followed behind, and the old village chief opened his mouth to explain.
When they arrived at the village chief's house, although it was the village chief's house, it was also simple and almost pitiful, just an earthen house, and a courtyard was randomly fenced outside.
Shao Yu didn't care about this, and went straight to the point: "Then I'll get straight to the point, I hope the village chief can tell me everything you know so far, the more we know, the more prepared we will be." ”
Seeing Shao Yu's solemn face, the old man said: "Forgive the old man for asking in such detail, is it because the Spirit Valley King in the mountain is really so powerful that even the Lord God has to be cautious?"
"Well, you're right, this monster is very powerful, even if we are both among the best characters among the gods, we have to face it cautiously, and we can't take it lightly. The fat man took over the conversation, not only saying how powerful the monster was, but also holding himself up without a trace.
Shao Yu didn't debunk him, and now the identity of "god" is helpful to them, at least it can let them know what is going on here.
Sure enough, the old village chief took a deep breath and said, "Since it is a powerful demon that the gods must be cautious about, the old man must know everything and tell the two gods everything he knows." ”
Shao Yu didn't interject and listened quietly. The old man paused for a moment, sorting out his thoughts, and then he spoke, "This matter has to start from three months ago. ”
"This is a small village isolated from the outside world, and there used to be about 300 people, and everyone went to the big jungle outside the canyon to hunt for a living. The old man spoke eloquently.
However, as soon as he said this, he just started to count his head, and the fat man and Shao Yu noticed something abnormal, and Shao Yu interrupted: "I'm sorry, old man, you said that you used to go hunting in the jungle outside the canyon?"
"yes, is there anything wrong?" the old village chief didn't know.
"Outside the canyon, isn't there only one river, where did the jungle come from?" Shao Yu was puzzled.
"Lord God laughed, that jungle is boundless, no one knows how big it is, even if you can see it with your old eyesight, can the two gods still not see it?"
Hearing this, Shao Yu and the fat man looked at each other, and they both read the incomprehension and fear in each other's eyes. (To be continued)
