Chapter 68: The Patriarch of the Yi Clan
I wish you all a Happy New Year's Day and all the best in the new year!
――――――――
Everyone nodded, and their hearts were a little uneasy.
Xu Liyue and Ouyang Duoduo stood aside, watching Yu Fan's excavation technique, which was a pit the size of a person, and then Qu Bingdao and Cheng Peng put the person into the pit and filled it with soil. At this time, it can only be buried hastily, not to mention that the corpse buried here may be devoured by hungry beasts operating underground at some point.
After this inspection and tossing, it was also an hour, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was about to fall into the night. The crowd didn't dare to stay longer, but hurried towards the village. It is necessary to find out the villagers before they can start the investigation. What's more, for Mo Yanze, except for Qu Bingdao and Cheng Peng, who had been here before, they had only stayed in the village, and they were not familiar with the others, so they had to have a guide.
Mo Yanze was already black, and the door of the Dazhai patriarch's house was knocked.
Huang San, the housekeeper who had just fallen asleep, muttered: "Who else is coming to visit at this time!" After finishing speaking, he got up in the dark, lit the python oil lamp, looked at the water leak, and it was already the end of the hour.
In view of the instability of Moyanze during this time, every household in Dazhai closed their doors early and turned off their lights.
Huang San opened the door, and several young and middle-aged nurses ran out from next door, and Huang Bu, who took the lead, asked Huang San in a low voice: "Dad, do you want to wake up the patriarch?" Who will be the third watch in the middle of the night? Didn't you say that thing would possess it? Whoever comes later, we'll tie him up first! ”
As Huang Bu spoke, several big men standing around him lit up the guys in their hands, including thick straw ropes, machetes, and thick sticks.
Huang San hated that iron could not become steel, and slapped Huang Bu on the head casually, "That thing never dares to go to the front door, it will come to knock politely if it wants to hurt people!" Besides, even if that thing is possessed, you things can still be tied up? ”
After a pause, Huang San's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Go and open the door, maybe the immortals have arrived." Yesterday, the immortals stationed here in the Yu Immortal Sect commanded, saying that the immortals sent by the sect should be coming soon. ”
"Bang bang" There were three more knocks on the door, and Huang San said: "It's coming, it's coming." ”
As his words fell, with a "squeak", Huang Bu opened the door, and in the dim light, he saw seven men and women of different ages standing outside the door, it was Xu Liyue and his party.
"Steward Huang, excuse me!" Qu Bingdao smiled and greeted Huang San quite politely. At least one or twenty years, at most forty or fifty years, Yu Xian Sect will come to this Dazhai to select Gu cultivators, and Qu Bingdao will sometimes bring Gu Xiu disciples to come, so he has had contact with Huang San.
"Qu, Qu Immortal Master...... Ouch, it's really the immortals of the Yu Immortal Sect! Huang San saw that the person who came was Qu Bingdao, although he didn't know anyone else, but there were also a few people wearing the immortal robes of Yu Xianzong, and they were handsome men and women, all of whom had extraordinary temperaments. Immediately excitedly said to the nursing home behind him: "Hurry up and inform the patriarch!" A few immortal masters, please ......"
Jiading Nursing Yuan originally stretched his neck, wanting to see which powerful immortals had been sent by the Yuxian Sect first, but at this time, he was yelled at by Huang Sanyi, and hurriedly ran towards the backyard.
Qu Bingdao led the younger brothers and sisters behind him into the door, and suddenly the Dazhai patriarch's house became lively, the lanterns were all lit, and the misty courtyard gradually stopped looking dark.
Xu Liyue suddenly felt proud, but she didn't expect that two months ago, she was still looking forward to seeing the immortals, and after these two months, she was called the immortal master together.
This is a qualitative leap!
When he was on the road before, Qu Bingdao had already roughly explained the situation about this big village to everyone, and at this time, it was a village about the same size as Dayu Town.
There is an official road on the edge of Moyanze, and there are a total of four villages scattered on both sides of the official road, and the leader is this big village. Since this area is rich in a type of bamboo called glow-in-the-dark bamboo, the houses in these villages are also built with this type of bamboo. Due to the peculiar growth environment, it is said that under the full moon and moonlight, it can emit a moon-like light, and the whole body emits fluorescence, which is as beautiful as jasper. And the glow-in-the-dark bamboo is hard, and it is said that the largest bamboo trunk can grow as thick as a double hug.
However, it has always been rainy and sunny, so when there is no moonlight, these bamboos look no different from ordinary bamboo. There are also many merchants who come to the surrounding villages to buy glow-in-the-dark bamboo, and then make it into various objects, and then sell it in various places, but it can be sold at a good price.
Tonight, Mo Yanze was still drizzling, Xu Liyue was a little disappointed in his heart, the whole village was like a house made of jasper, and the beautiful scenery was not visible. However, at this time, look at these houses built with bamboo, quite a bit of the style of the Dai stilted bamboo building, but these bamboo courtyards are even more scattered, there is no lack of strange construction techniques in the exquisiteness, more magnificent than the Dai bamboo building, and it is not inferior to those ancient pavilion corridors.
Under the leadership of Huang San and Huang Bu, everyone stepped on the bamboo corridor, making a "creaking" sound, and came all the way to the main hall. The entire patriarch's family garden was already brightly lit, and an old man with white beard and white eyebrows greeted him in good spirits, "Immortal Master Qu, I can look forward to you!" ”
"There's the Patriarch of Lao Huang!" Qu Bingdao is still polite.
Everyone sat down separately, and Patriarch Huang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to serve tea and arrange a side room. Xu Liyue glanced at the two of them and felt that the picture was very interesting. This Huang Tingxing patriarch has a white beard, and Qu Bingdao is an all-black haircut, and people who don't know still think it's two fathers and sons!
Qu Bingdao also roughly introduced Xu Liyue's six people, saying that they are all brothers and sisters of the same sect, although most of them are young, they are all disciples valued by the sect. This is also to tell Huang Tingxing, don't look at how old the little junior sister Xu Liyue is, she can't be seen at what age she can cultivate immortals, and it is not something that these mortals can despise.
Huang Tingxing also saw greetings one by one, even if he treated Xu Liyue, he didn't dare to underestimate his respectful appearance.
The four villages of Moyanze are Dazhai, Erzhai, Yiren Village, and Zuyuan Village, and the surnames of the four villages are all Huang, and this whole ethnic group has a name since 10,000 years ago - Yiren Clan. This Dazhai originated from the ancestral source village, and then the Dazhai was divided into two branches, namely the second village and the Yiren village. Zuyuan Village and Erzhai are all under the management of the patriarch of Dazhai, but Yirenzhai independently elects a patriarch. The same is split, the population of Erzhai and Zuyuan Village is relatively thin, but Yiren Village is developing stronger and stronger, which is also due to some family disputes, to form today's situation.
Qu Bingdao also went straight to the point, "Patriarch Huang, I don't know where the disciple I sent to Shoumo Ze is now?" ”
"Why don't the immortals know?" Huang Tingxing was a little surprised, those immortal masters also explained things to him yesterday, how could there be no contact?
"To tell you the truth, on the way to come, we have already lost contact with our fellow sects, so we will disturb Patriarch Huang late at night." Qu Bingdao paused and said.
"Yesterday, the three immortal masters were still in my big village, and the old man told the old man that the immortal masters should arrive in the next few days, didn't they go to a few other villages?" Huang Tingxing was also puzzled at this time.
