Volume 1 Pangea Chapter 3 The Little Overlord of the Mountain
After Hu Lin left the square, he found a farm yard and walked in.
It didn't take long for Mei'er to cover her mouth in surprise, her eyes staring straight ahead, and the surprised voice sounded in Hu Lin's mind, "Young Master...... How is this possible......"
It's no wonder that Mei'er was surprised, now standing in front of it is clearly a little old man with a stiff figure, where is still the fluttering young man in the wind of the jade tree. On the rickety body, a coarse linen robe was draped out of the room, and the skin leaking outside was full of traces of time carving. Especially the long gray hair, and the wrinkled face, anyone can see that it is an old man who has stepped into the twilight.
"Young Master, were you originally a dying old man?" Although Mei'er witnessed the whole process of Hu Lin's disguise, it still couldn't believe its eyes at this time. The old man Hu Lin has become is too vivid, not only in appearance, but also in expression and behavior are no different from ordinary old people.
"Nonsense, young master, I'm a young man from Yushu Linfeng! This is a disguise technique, what does Mei Er think? Don't you see any flaws?" Hu Lin is still very confident in his disguise technique, after all, even in the Demon Suppression Valley, there are very few people who can see the flaws. He asked this, also to show off in front of the little fox.
Mei'er touched her chin very humanly, looked at it carefully, nodded and said in Hu Lin's mind, "Hmm...... If the young master doesn't speak, there really won't be any flaws at all. ”
"So......" An old voice came from Hulin's throat, swaying in the air like a candle before the wind.
"There are no flaws this time...... However, Mei'er really suspects now that the young master was originally an old man in his last years......" The little fox nodded with concern after speaking.
"Stinky girl, do you want the young master to strip off now, so that you can check it carefully?" At this time, Hu Lin's old face appeared with an extremely evil expression, looking like an extremely obscene old man.
"Young master, I hate it...... Mei'er knows that the young master is a young man with a jade tree in the wind and a lofty instrument. With that, he turned into a miniature little fox and jumped on his shoulder. Mei'er really can't do anything about Hu Lin's unserious appearance, if she doesn't compromise, this little master may do something.
"Okay, no more fuss...... It's time for us to meet that little overlord, you hide in my arms for a while, and you are not allowed to come out without my permission, do you hear?" Hu Lin said seriously to the little fox.
"Well, Mei'er listens to the young master. With that, the little fox got into the clothes on his chest.
Hu Lin deftly lurked back to the side of the square, and quietly blended into the crowd through the shadows reflected in the firelight. Without being noticed, he slowly moved to the front of the crowd. At this time, he could see the true face of Zhou Tong, the little overlord of the mountain.
A round rumbling head has a few strands of sparse hair, thick eyebrows and heavy hair, and with fierce facial features, it is alive and well the image of a wicked person.
At this time, he was beating an old man with a fire whip, and the old man was lying on the ground wailing incessantly, and his whole body was scorched by the fire whip. Hu Lin secretly said, Zhou Tong has done this kind of thing this time, although the old man's wound is terrifying, it does not hurt the vital point, which makes the old man more painful.
"Stinky old man, as the head of a village, you have the primary responsibility for my inconsiderate hospitality. This hundred fire snake whips are your punishment, and now you have only drawn forty-seven lashes, you have to hold on and don't die, otherwise these villagers of yours will suffer!hahaha......" Zhou Tong's cruel voice resounded throughout the night sky.
The cruel laughter pierced the bodies of everyone present, like a biting cold wind, making people shudder. The villagers all lowered their heads, unable to bear to look at the miserable appearance of the village chief, and at the same time kept praying in their hearts, praying that all this in front of them would disappear soon.
"Your Excellency...... Please let them go, the little old man insists on ......" The old man lying on the ground said this, and he had exhausted all his strength. After saying that, he lay on the ground, gritting his teeth and insisting on not fainting.
After Zhou Tong heard the old man's weak words, his laughter became more ferocious, and the fire whip in his hand was drawn harder towards the old man on the ground.
"This is the kind person in Mei'er's mouth?" Hu Lin's eyes looked directly at the old man lying on the ground, and his heart was full of thoughts. He didn't understand why an ordinary old man would have to endure such pain, was it just to protect these fragile villagers?
The old man's screams had died down, and the only thing that reached everyone's ears was the sound of the whip hitting the old man's body. Without the stimulation of shouting, Zhou Tong seemed to have lost interest in wielding the fire whip in his hand, and sat down in front of the fire.
Raising his eyes and scanning the trembling villagers around him, a cruel voice came out of Zhou Tong's throat again, "Villagers, don't be afraid, my little overlord is still very trustworthy." Now that this stinky old man has withstood the fiery snake whip, most of my anger has been dissipated. But the fire in me is still very strong, what do you think I should do?"
When the villagers heard Zhou Tong's voice, most of them were already sitting on the ground, pressing their heads lower. Zhou Tong's gaze fell on a girl in the crowd, and there was an expression on his face that disgusted all the women.
I saw that the fire whip in Zhou Tong's hand was gently thrown back, the flame on the whip disappeared instantly, and with a slight flick of his wrist again, the long whip in his hand turned into a long black snake and rolled towards the girl.
At the moment when the whip was about to touch the girl's waist, all the figures beside her moved in panic, and a figure just blocked the girl and wrapped the whip around her body. Zhou Tong felt that the tip of his whip was entangled in the target, and with a force of his arm, he directly dragged a black shadow out of the crowd.
"Stinky old man again?" When Zhou Tong saw the figure that dragged him in front of him, his anger prevailed. He originally wanted to roll up a beauty in the crowd to dissipate his anger, but he didn't expect that another old man would come out and ruin his good deeds, how could he not be angry?
"Stinky old man, dare to destroy Lao Tzu's good deeds, you are looking for death!" As he spoke, the long whip in Zhou Tong's hand burst into flames again and was drawn towards the old man who was swept up.
"Uncle, slow down!I know the situation in the Demon Suppression Valley!" The old man hurriedly raised his hands to block the fire snake that was being drawn, and at the same time kept shouting in his mouth.
As soon as Zhou Tong heard about the Demon Suppression Valley, the strength in his hand changed, and the fire snake grazed the old man's body and smashed to the ground. The old man looked at the sparks splashing beside him, and was so frightened that cold sweat soaked his forehead, and a feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body, and then he collapsed on the ground.
The Demon Valley in the old man's mouth not only successfully made Zhou Tong give up whipping him, but also attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers to him.
"Lao Wang...... I've never seen this old man before?, is it from our village?" a bold old man asked quietly as he poked the person next to him.
"Shh......h Don't let that adversary hear you...... I haven't seen it either, so it shouldn't be from our village. ”
Not only these two people, but all the villagers who focused their eyes on the old man were full of doubts. Of course, the old man who escaped Zhou Tong's whip was not from Yakniu Village, this person was Hu Lin after the disguise.
Hu Lin actually wanted to see what other means this little overlord had. But Mei'er in the clothes on her chest couldn't hold her breath, it really didn't want to see anyone hurt anymore, so it kept urging Hu Lin. It just so happened that Zhou Tong's whip reached for the girl beside Hu Lin, and Hu Lin twisted his body lightly and wrapped the whip around his waist.
"You said you know the situation in the Demon Suppression Valley?" Zhou Tong originally wanted to defect to the Demon Suppression Valley, but now that someone knows the situation there, of course he has to ask about it.
"Back to Uncle, Xiao Lao'er does know some of the situations in the Demon Suppression Valley. Hulin replied as he continued to pretend to be very frightened.
"Stinky old man, do you think that my little overlord Zhou Tong is easy to deceive? As far as I know, this Demon Valley is a place where there is no entry and exit, how can you know the situation there?" After speaking, he whipped on the ground beside Hu Lin.
When Hu Lin saw the whip coming, he immediately shrank into a ball and begged for mercy in a loud voice, "Uncle spare your life......! Don't dare to deceive the uncle......"
Zhou Tong saw the old man's panicked appearance, and raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Oh, since you say so, I want to hear how you got the news of the Demon Suppression Valley." If I hear that you are cheating, I will hang you up and smoke you for three days and three nights!"
"Little Lao'er promises that everything he said is true!"
"Say it......"
"A few years ago, I went to the North Mountain to cut firewood, and I met a dying man in the middle of the jungle. The man claimed to have escaped from the Valley of the Demons, and when I saw that he was pitiful, I hid in the cave behind the village to take care of him. The man slowly recovered under my care. I was also curious about the Demon Valley, so I asked him about the Demon Valley, and the man was grateful to me and answered all my questions in detail. It's just ......" Hu Lin paused when he said this, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Tong's expression, and found that he was frowning and thinking, so he deliberately stopped and didn't continue.
"Just what?
"It's just...... After the man finished talking about a few things about the Demon Suppression Valley, a strange text appeared on his chest, sucking the man alive...... Suck it up!" At this point, Hu Lin covered his face with his hands, as if he was recalling something terrible.
"Oh, what you're talking about is very similar to the legend of Demon Suppression Valley. Legend has it that anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Valley will be planted with a heart magic spell, and if too many secrets of the Demon Suppression Valley are revealed to outsiders, the spell will attack and suck people into dry corpses......" Zhou Tong nodded matter-of-factly.
When Hu Lin heard him say this, he was relieved. What he said was the legend of the people outside the valley who entered the Demon Valley a few years ago and told him about the people outside the valley. I didn't expect it to come in handy today, and this time I can fool this little overlord well.
"Uncle, the little old man dares to guarantee with his life, everything he said is true......"
"Old man, tell me what you know about Demon Suppression Valley, if it helps me, I can consider letting you go!"
"Thank you uncle for not killing!" Hearing Zhou Tong say this, Hu Lin immediately knelt down and thanked him.
"Say it......"
"According to the man, the people living in this Demon Valley are all heinous, and bloodshed occurs almost every day. To survive in such an environment, status is very important. What is your status in the valley, in addition to showing your own strength, it is more important to see your heroic deeds outside the valley. Dare to ask uncle, why do you want to enter the Demon Suppression Valley?"
"What ...... I" Zhou Tong thought for a while, and didn't rush to answer Hu Lin's question.
