Chapter 159: Not a Human
What the hell is going on?
Zhao Yurong couldn't read or figure it out, and he couldn't ask because of the language barrier. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So when she returned to Ruby's house alone, the feeling of loss had not faded, so much so that the other Taoist priests asked her with great concern what she had seen and what had happened.
This feeling of the stars holding the moon did not make Zhao Yurong feel any better, on the contrary, she had a suspicion, are these Taoist friends of the Dao Sect really caring about themselves, or are they because they are high in cultivation and good looking?
But of course she wouldn't try to verify this suspicion, because it would be foolish.
If you ask for verification with suspicion, the authenticity of the results obtained must be questionable.
Zhao Yurong knew this, so she struggled to pull herself up, smiled comfortingly at her fellow Daoists, and then told them what she had seen in the temple.
The sharing of what he saw and heard made the other Taoist priests fall into silence as well.
Most of these Taoist priests are the core disciples of the original Six Great Daomen, and they have lived according to the ancient law since they were children, so they also felt unacceptable for what Zhao Yurong saw and heard.
"Forget it, let's all rest, and when Ruby comes, I'll ask what's going on." Zhao Yurong finally spoke.
Although everyone rested separately, Zhao Yurong's sights and hearings still cast a shadow on the originally bright mood of this group. Fortunately, Lubi came back early the next day, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!"
"Good morning, Lubi." Zhao Yurong responded politely, "You came just in time, because of the language barrier, we saw some things that were a little puzzled yesterday, but we couldn't find anyone to ask what was going on." ”
"Oh? What is the matter? Ruby asked very politely.
"The house." Zhao Yurong jumped on the windowsill again, pointed to the house where the female giant was kicked out yesterday and said to Lubi, "There is a woman who was kicked out by someone who seems to be her husband, and then took the quilt to the outside of the village, she doesn't seem to be in good health, what's going on?" ”
"Oh!" Ruby sighed, "You must be Julianne!" Poor Julianne, she's not human anymore. ”
After saying that, a little tear actually flowed from Luby's eyes, and then he reached out to wipe it.
"What? She doesn't look dead, she hasn't turned into a monster, why isn't she human? Zhao Yurong saw that Lu Bi looked sad, not like he had malice towards the giantess, and the gloom in his heart was better, but he was more confused.
"It's hard for me to explain to you, you just need to know that she's not human anymore." Lubi didn't seem to want to say more about it, "I'm going to take you to get acquainted with our village today, and then I'm going to hunt for some food. ”
"I followed Julianne out of the village." Zhao Yurong did not immediately agree to Ruby's suggestion, but continued her topic, "I saw her enter an abandoned temple. There are so many other people out there, aren't they human beings too? ”
"Yes, they're not human." Ruby replied smoothly, "That's why they need to go to the temple and receive the blessings of the gods, otherwise they will soon be completely assimilated by the evil spirits." ”
It seems that this is related to some local custom or legend, Zhao Yurong thought in his heart, and finally verbally replied to Lubi's suggestion:
"Alright then, let's do what you arranged."
Lu Bi really took them to greet them door to door in the village, and acted as an interpreter, while enthusiastically introducing the names of each household to Zhao Yurong and others, and the members of their families, while introducing Zhao Yurong and others to these villagers.
Although they didn't understand the language, these villagers all smiled humbly at Zhao Yurong and his party and saluted them.
Zhao Yurong noticed that most of these villagers have only one man and one woman, that is, a husband and wife form a family, and they do not see their children at home, nor can they see the elderly in the family.
Most of these men and women are young adults.
This is a very unreasonable situation, just after they have met a husband and wife, and according to Ruby, they have agreed to a feast with each other, and they go out, and they see several children standing outside the door.
The head of a giant child looks like a teenager between the ages of 16 and 18 in the end of the world.
He carried a stick in his hand, and after Zhao Yurong and the others came out, he crossed Lu Bi and Zhao Yurong and walked straight to the room.
"What's going on?" This is the first time Zhao Yurong and his entourage have seen children in the village, but these children seem to be menacing and ill-intentioned.
"It's nothing, it's just their family business." Ruby was obviously reluctant to say more, "We should go hunt for some food now, I have agreed with most of the villagers to welcome you to a feast, but we don't have any food for the feast yet. ”
Although she was still very confused, Zhao Yurong also knew the truth of following the customs of the village, even if she wanted to do something, she had to fully understand the customs of this village.
Now she is no longer the girl who will slander and express her thoughts willfully because Chu Yang's actions do not suit her thoughts, during this time on the jade boat, she has undertaken a lot of work to coordinate the people in the Six Great Daomen, although there are still some tempers, but her heart has also changed a lot.
Lu Bi took Zhao Yurong and his party to hunt, and at the same time asked a dozen giants to help carry the prey back to the village, and at the same time they picked a lot of plants to go back, Lu Bi said to Zhao Yurong that these plants can be made into vegetable soup.
Under the auspices of Rubi, the cauldron was quickly erected, and the giants in the village were busy for the welcome banquet of Zhao Yurong and his party.
According to Lubi's words, this was all agreed upon when he took Zhao Yurong and his party to visit the villagers before.
At this time, these villagers look no different from any hospitable, backward but unpretentious people.
Of course, the last ninety-nine percent of the dishes at the welcome banquet fell into the stomachs of these giant villagers, and what caught Zhao Yurong's attention was that the couple who Lubi had said he would come to eat and the last time they visited did not appear at the table, but the young man who looked like he was going to make trouble appeared in the banquet.
What the hell is going on?
The dark clouds that had gradually dissipated once again appeared in Zhao Yurong's heart.
"Do you have to ask for help from Chu Yang's old monster?"
Zhao Yurong originally had both dissatisfaction and respect for Chu Yang, and his feelings were quite complicated, but he would never call him an old monster. But after the upheaval, she gradually let go of the mustard, and was influenced by the language style of Sanji Gyaltsen and Qi Sanheng, the so-called black who is close to ink, and now she occasionally calls Chu Yang like this.
