Chapter 12: The Thief of the Heart
Luo Qianqian looked around, the smoke was faint not far behind her, a small village under the sunset, Luo Qianqian's stomach had begun to gurgle after a busy day, the raindrops were dripping, the sky was beginning to appear rainbow, and the afterglow of the sunset was dyed red with pieces of burning clouds.
It seems that it was probably Shen Youshi, that is, around five o'clock in the afternoon of the global village, it was time for dinner, Luo Qianqian covered her stomach and walked towards the village behind her, she hoped to find Lang Zhong who rescued Adong as much as possible.
This village, the cottage is quiet, and the stone tablet in front of the village reads: Danling Village.
It turned out to be the famous Danling Village! Luo Qianqian bit her lip, walked across the stone tablet realm, and walked into the village.
It is said that Danling Village is very famous in Lingshan, the history of the village is not very clear, and there are dozens of babies born in the village at one time, so it is famous and has been named Single Spirit Village. Legend has it that this matter has spread to the heavenly court, and the heavenly court sent people to visit this place and gave it the name Danling Village.
Later, many people came here, women wanted to marry here, men wanted to marry girls here, in order to give birth to a child with a single spiritual root, and they all said that this village had been blessed by God, so everyone in the village had the ability to get a single spiritual root child.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the cultivation speed of the single spirit root is much faster than that of the multiple spirit root, which is considered to be a talent, a blessing from the gods, and a lucky one. Shan Linggen is the first choice for cultivating talents in the fairy world, Lingshan Lingyun Temple is a place dedicated to cultivating talents, and the head is Zixu Dao Chang, highly respected, and the children of Shan Linggen are the first choice for training.
Anyone who gets a little bit of money will have a good future, and his father and mother can also live a good life with the borrowed light.
Compared to Shan Linggen, Luo Qianqian's Five Spirit Roots were like they had been cursed, their cultivation speed was hundreds of times slower, and no matter how hard they worked, they couldn't catch up, so she was particularly envious of Shan Linggen's people, although she had never seen them.
Luo Qianqian has always thought that this is just a legend, and there is no need to believe it, but now that she sees it, she is curious to see what this blessed village looks like?
Luo Qianqian has lived in Huanwai Village since she was a child, and most of the people around her are mortals, and the village chief is a four-spirit root. In Huanwai Village, Luo Qianqian's five spiritual roots are rare, she often thinks that Huanwai Village is a cursed place, it is difficult for the black nest to fly out of the golden phoenix, and there is no stakeholder in Huanwai Village, and she will become the target of bullying by people from all walks of life.
Practicing martial arts since childhood, concentrating on cultivation, tenacious personality, hard work, Luo Qianqian has always wanted to change the status quo, even if she has never seen the outside world, has not seen Shan Linggen, but at least she doesn't want to be bullied again.
Luo Qianqian covered her face with black gauze, took the purple gold sword, and walked in Danling Village.
It wasn't as prosperous as she had imagined, on the contrary, it was quite quiet, there were no pedestrians, no cars and horses, and it wasn't time for dinner to see a single person. What's even more strange is that there are still talismans on the fences of several households, Luo Qianqian doesn't understand the talismans, and she doesn't know what is written on them.
Walking out of another meter, the fence of a house in front of her was plastered with the same charm, Luo Qianqian walked quickly, and within five meters, she saw two more such families. It's strange, since the descendants of Danling Village are all people with a single spirit root, then the cultivation is naturally fast, and there should be a lot of talented people, and I haven't heard that Danling Village is prevalent in drawing talismans, why do you post so many talismans?
Luo Qianqian's intuition was that these talismans should be preventing something.
Luo Qianqian knocked on the knocker of a nearby house.
There are two stone lions standing at the door of this family, the lion has two talismans in his mouth, the wall is high, made of stones, and it is also full of talismans, Luo Qianqian feels that this family is not small, and he should know more, at least he can know where the hospital is.
The door creaked open, and a middle-aged man poked out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"My friend is seriously injured and wants to hire a man in the village." Luo Qianqian replied.
"We don't have it here, this is the village chief's house." The middle-aged man said.
"You should know where the infirmary is." Luo Qianqian said.
"Keep walking, turn east at the end, you can see it as you walk, and I'll close the door if it's okay." The middle-aged man said nervously.
Luo Qianqian wanted to ask what was going on with the talismans posted in every household, but the middle-aged man had already closed the door without waiting for her to ask.
Helpless, the people here are all weird, Luo Qianqian had to keep moving forward, didn't go far, a crazy old woman ran towards Luo Qianqian, her face was like a withered and skinny.
Luo Qianqian was kind-hearted and decided that this mother-in-law was homeless, so she took out a piece of broken silver from her arms and greeted the old woman.
The two approached, and Luo Qianqian heard the old woman's nonsense, "Monsters are prevalent, stealing children's hearts, do you have children at home, hurry up and go to Lingyunguan to find Zixu Shangxian and invite a charm, please charm, please charm, look at the child, look at the child, see the child......"
Luo Qianqian was stunned, this mother-in-law looked crazy and stupid, but she seemed to tell the reason why every household in Danling Village posted charms, she stuffed the broken silver into the old woman's hand, "Mother-in-law, please take it, buy some food, and find a place to live." ”
"Don't dare to live, don't dare to live, I'm going to leave this hellish place." The old woman put the broken silver in her mouth and bit it with her teeth, "You can't eat it, I don't want it." So saying, the old woman threw the silver on the ground and ran forward.
What a strange person, Luo Qianqian has a long aftertaste, from the words of this mother-in-law, it can be inferred that there are monsters here, stealing children's hearts, adults are afraid, so they invited charms from the Taoist temple to paste the walls all over the wall, then there must be children in the home full of charms, but it doesn't make sense, the demon I saw in the Yuelai Inn, the spiritual power is not high, is there another group of monsters at work?
While pondering, she walked forward, Luo Qianqian didn't know that at the moment above her head, a pair of eyes were staring at her every move, this strange girl with a black veil mask appeared in the quiet Danling Village at this time, with obvious targets and suspicious appearances.
The person staring at Luo Qianqian was none other than Tiankui, the senior brother of the fox demon who was the big shopkeeper in the Yuelai Inn, and the disciple of Bai Ze.
He was ordered to wait in Danling Village, waiting for the appearance of the heart thief.
As mentioned earlier, there are a lot of children's heart pills in the black market of Huaxidu, and the pills made of the child's heart of a single spirit root can increase the speed of cultivation of any attribute, and a pill can maintain cultivation for a year, and one year is equivalent to ten or even a hundred years of practice in other ways.
The immortal soldier commander who let Luo Qianqian kill was also using the Tongzi Heart Pill, and in one year, he was able to improve from a low-level monk to a junior monk's level, and his spiritual power increased dozens of times.
The difference between a person with a spiritual root and a mortal is that a mortal controls his life by his heart, while a person with a spiritual root controls his life by his spirit, and his heart controls his emotions, so the life of a person with a spiritual root who has been robbed of his heart can still be maintained, but he will become cold and irritable, selfish and ruthless, and even disown his relatives.
Such a person, even if he has a high level of cultivation, will become a disaster in the fairy world.
Therefore, this method of cultivating with people's hearts has disappeared from the fairy world for thousands of years, but in the past ten years, people with ghosts have begun to secretly promote it, which can really be described as a scourge of the fairy world.
Since Tiankui heard that someone was selling Tongzi Heart Pill, the first thing he thought of was Danling Village, which is the place where the most medicines are introduced, and if it is produced in large quantities, Danling Village is bound to be the best place to obtain resources. He has been waiting here for half a year, during which he has caught a few strangers, all of whom are covered in black gauze, outsiders from Danling Village, and suspicious in appearance, which is very similar to Luo Qianqian's outfit today.
Tiankui has been following Luo Qianqian since she entered Danling Village.
On top of the eaves, he used the invisibility charm to become invisible, avoiding the sight of others.
He was waiting for Luo Qianqian to make a move, and the good people got the stolen goods, caught her, tied her up again, took her to the barren mountains and remote mountains, tortured her to extract confessions, followed the vine and found the real culprit behind the scenes.
