Chapter Seventy-One: My Good and Evil Concern My Heart
The cold on Mingyue Island is very abnormal, and after entering the town, you can probably guess that the cold came very suddenly, and the power is gradually increasing.
The stalls on both sides of the street were frozen under the thick ice, and the goods inside could be vaguely discerned, but there were no bodies, indicating that the stall owners were in a hurry to flee for their lives and did not even have time to clean up their stalls.
Most of the shops and houses were open, but now they were covered in ice, and it was impossible to see inside.
At first glance, the entire street is covered in ice, and the further you go, the thicker the ice becomes.
"Why don't we go back and try our luck on the ship, we should be able to find some spirit crystals." Pink Rabbit suggested.
Li Fei said, "Let's go in and take a look, since we are people who learn from the scriptures, and when we encounter this kind of place where we have obviously encountered an accident, it is necessary to find out, if we are just a spectator, or retreat when we encounter danger, what is the difference between it and tourists." ”
"Okay!" The pink rabbit rarely didn't fight with him, but instead stretched out the rabbit paw with the gold bracelet and put it on Li Fei's shoulder, ready to do it at any time.
After walking a hundred meters further, you can see a huge knife standing at the end of the road, and under the knife is a simple and elegant building.
Suddenly, there were several high-pitched howls from the building, and a white storm spread rapidly outward.
The flame shield in front of Li Fei was almost extinguished, and he hurriedly increased the output of the demonic energy that maintained the flame cover, and smashed the ice of the houses around him with one punch to avoid this storm.
As the storm spread, the consumption of demonic energy intensified, and a thin layer of ice quickly froze the hole that had just been blasted open.
"What a thing, it's terrifying, if I hadn't broken through once when I was setting up the formation, I'm afraid that the storm just now might not have been able to withstand it." Li Fei was afraid.
After waiting for more than a minute, the howling outside gradually stopped, and he blasted open the newly formed ice to see, the outside returned to its original state, and the temperature had increased slightly, but it was still quite cold.
"I think it should be cyclical, so let's wait here for now." Pink Rabbit suggested.
This house is supposed to be an ordinary house, with a square table in the middle with neat dishes, of course, frozen in ice.
Bombarded all the rooms in the house in a row, not a single person or a corpse was seen, and there was no mess left behind when fleeing, as if they had suddenly received a notice to evacuate, and then everyone hurriedly went out to evacuate.
"Yes, it's just a matter of getting used to it, like taking refuge in an orderly manner after long-term training or running-in!" Li Fei guessed.
"Yo! I don't see it, you still have some intelligence, you look at the floor and the walls! The pink rabbit praised it with a strong meaning.
Li Fei looked at it several times horizontally and vertically, and finally used fire to completely melt the ice in a room, and the waterproof layer on the wall was very good, and all the water flowed along the lines of the ground to the outside of the house.
"This is to prevent the water from being deposited inside the house after the ice melts, and the people here should be used to this, and if nothing else, the people of the town are hiding somewhere." Pink Rabbit analyzed.
As he spoke, there was another shriek, and the room that had just melted quickly became covered with a layer of ice, about half an hour after the previous howl.
"You calculate the time, let's go out and find out!" After Li Fei finished arranging, he jumped on the roof and looked around.
The whole town is flat, the houses are about the same height, very regular, as if they were built uniformly, except for the knife in the very center, there is nothing special about it.
"Why don't we just kill it and take a look? If there is any monster to kill directly, it is! Li Fei asked.
The pink rabbit also poked his head and looked around, and suddenly the corners of his mouth turned slightly, "Li Gou, Miss Ben's IQ can still crush you, yo yo!" ”
"What did you find again?" Li Fei is too lazy to answer her words, if he is ridiculed, he will be ridiculed, it is always a good thing to have someone with an IQ online for a long time.
"We now know that the reason for the freezing is because of the howl in the middle, and the reason for opening the door is to prevent the walls of the house from cracking in case it is frozen. The houses are drained, and the houses throughout the town are built uniformly. So, the current situation is accustomed to the townspeople. The pink rabbit first sorted out the previous information.
"Finally, when the ice comes, there will be a notice, there is enough time to evacuate but there is no time to clean up the stalls, and the ships are frozen in the ice and do not go out to sea. To sum up, the place where residents evacuate must not be far from their usual activities. With that, the pink rabbit pointed to a well in the courtyard wrapped in ice.
Li Fei was a little unconvinced, "How can you be sure?" ”
The pink rabbit unceremoniously gave Li Fei a look, "Have you ever seen anyone digging a well when you were in Huaguo Mountain!" The island, not the land, where does the groundwater come from? ”
"That's right!" Li Fei suddenly realized, and pouted at the same time, the big chase before you was to show off your IQ and observation, and the key is still in this well.
Too lazy to complain, he jumped in front of the well and looked down, the ice was too thick, and he could vaguely see a bright light inside.
The old way, jumping on the ice, the flame under the feet increased the power, and when it sank to the height of most of the people, the feet were empty, and they fell completely.
A rich aroma of meat wafted in the underground space of 100 meters square, and a large family was eating heartily around a hot pot, and they all turned their heads to look at it when they heard the movement.
The air was eerily still, and a biting cold wind swished down the opening.
The pink rabbit raised his hand and used a freezing charm to plug the gap, and the ground quickly returned to its previous warmth.
"Yo Yo! They're all eating and drinking! The pink rabbit said hello in a huff.
I saw the child in a woman's arms in front of the hot pot snorting and crying.
Li Fei scratched his head and arched his hand, "Everyone, we are people who are passing through here, so I'm disturbed." ”
"Take what?" An old man asked, sticking out his ears.
"Learners!" The woman holding the child coaxed the child and repeated it loudly.
The old man was stunned, and it took a long time to react, and his face was surprised, "Someone who learns from the scriptures? Great, it's been ten years, and finally someone has passed by here, and sure enough, it's my Mingyue Island. Hurry up, little brother, please sit down, it's frozen, let's take a hot warm mouth first. ”
Li Fei swallowed his saliva and gnawed on the carrots all the way, the bird had already faded out of his mouth, and he sat down and ate it unceremoniously.
The pink rabbit climbed onto his shoulder, nibbled on the carrot, and asked, "Grandpa, did you just say that you haven't passed by for ten years?" And what's going on with this island? ”
The middle-aged man on the side put down his chopsticks, sighed, and began to tell the story of Mingyue Island.
According to the records of the county, Mingyue Island was originally a place where the masters lived in seclusion, and after its immortal gone, its disciples created the Mingyue Sword House, and made some fame in the interior.
After that, the popularity of Mingyue Island gradually increased, so there was Mingyue Town.
Thirty years ago, the Bright Moon Sword House was recruited by the Heavenly Court to participate in the great battle to exterminate the Red Tide, and almost all the people in the department never came back as soon as they left.
Fifteen years ago, the new head and his wife passed away depressedly, and most of the people dispersed, and even the lives of the island's residents plummeted, barely surviving on the monthly relief of the heavenly court.
Eleven years ago, a catastrophe befell the island, a snow demon took over the knife house, and the young young master promptly notified the townspeople to evacuate urgently, and a day later, a catastrophic ice storm razed the entire town to the ground.
After that, the young lord funded the reconstruction of the town, and used the bronze bell as a trumpet, the bell rang and the whole people took refuge, and the bell rang again and the disaster ended.
When the middle-aged man said this, he paused, took a sip of wine, and looked at Li Fei happily, "Later, there was a Taoist who traveled here for us, divining a hexagram for us, so that we could live in this place with peace of mind, saying that sooner or later, someone from the scriptures will come to subdue the snow demon, and this is ten years, which can be regarded as looking forward to you!" ”
Li Fei stopped his chopsticks and was a little skeptical, "The Taoist ten years ago, I have only been full for two years since I was born, could it be that person will still foresee the future?" ”
The pink rabbit gave him another time, "I didn't specify that it was you, today, but anyone who has some ability, either became a scripture learner, or went to be a heavenly army, if the heavenly army wanted to manage it, it would have been in charge a long time ago, and if the heavenly army didn't come, wouldn't there be a scripture learner left." ”
"Makes sense!" Li Fei nodded.
The pink rabbit sat on his shoulder, knocked Erlang's leg, and asked, "Uncle, that person asked how much money you charged?" ”
The first few people in front of the hot pot were silent one by one, and the old man thought about it and replied, "That year, the subsidy of the heavenly court was too much, and the young master gave all the savings of the knife house to everyone, and the family was relatively rich, and he collected twenty or thirty thousand gold to that person to show his sincerity." ”
"What? For an empty word, you gave twenty or thirty thousand gold. Li Fei was shocked.
The Pink Rabbit God asked, "If we get rid of that snow demon, how many thank-you gifts are you going to give?" Slaying demons is no joke. ”
The old man smiled bitterly, "The town has already discussed, if there is really someone to solve the snow demon, each family will pay 100 gold, one hundred and twenty-one households, a total of 12,100 gold." ”
"Come on, Li Gou, start work!" The pink rabbit drilled into Li Fei's clothes in high spirits, brandished a carrot and ordered.
Li Fei was too lazy to take care of her, patted his half-full stomach, had his own calculations in his heart, and arched his hand to a large family, "Snow removal demon, just pay for this meal." Also, I want to buy some spirit crystals, I wonder if there is any wealth in the town? ”
The middle-aged man returned the salute and said, "Yes, when the snow demon is not attacking, we all go out to sea to fish, and there are still a lot of them in the town's general warehouse. ”
Li Fei smiled, this is an understanding person, and he heard the meaning of his words, "The hot pot is hot, wait for me to get rid of the snow demon, and then come back and continue to eat." ”
After saying that, he made some movements, and climbed out along the ladder next to the shaft to melt the ice.
A large family was full of emotion, "What a good young man! ”
The middle-aged man was a little unbearable, "Isn't it good for us to do this?" ”
The old man sighed, "For the sake of the young master's life, what can we do, I just hope that he really has some ability, ten years, there are dozens of people who have passed by to learn the scriptures, not to mention dozens of teams, evil, evil." ”
Outside the well, the pink rabbit took the transmission note in his hand and slammed it at the back of Li Fei's head, "Stupid!" ”
The corners of Li Fei's mouth twitched, and he finally resisted the urge to ask questions, "People's hearts, I'm innocent." ”
"So, on the way to learn the scriptures, how can you leave me, go, loot the warehouse, yo yo!" The pink rabbit waved half a carrot and shouted excitedly.
Li Fei looked up at the giant knife and thought for a while, "My good and evil are related to my heart!" Let's go, kill the snow demon. ”
"You're stupid!" The pink rabbit grabbed Li Fei's ears and wanted to twist them back.
Li Fei looked back and smiled, "You just know!" ”
The pink rabbit suddenly felt warmed by that smile, rolled his eyes, and let go of his claws, "Forget it, go and go!" It's good that Miss Ben is with you, otherwise you will have to pay for the number of people if you sell it to others. ”
Li Fei stretched out his hand and touched the rabbit's head, "Let's go, kill the demon and get rid of the demon!" ”
The pink rabbit raised the carrot, "Let's go, catch that snow demon, and let Miss Ben ravage and ravage!" ”
