Chapter 47: Return
Out of the reeds, all the way south, past a lake, and then more than ten miles forward, a towering city appeared in front of the two of them, Lin Zhi understood, Kowloon City is almost here.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountains and running a dead horse, now looking at this big city to hurry, I also feel a little like this.
Ten minutes later, Lin Zhi and the two appeared outside the city gate. Although it is night, Kowloon City is not locked down, and people entering the city are waiting in long lines to enter the city.
"Brother Agni, thank you for saving me, but I have to rush back." Yu Xiaoxue said suddenly.
"Why? They're going to kill you. Lin Zhi didn't expect the other party to say this, and was surprised.
"If I don't go back, the village chief will find another person to worship." Yu Xiaoxue said calmly.
"This ...... You follow me into the city first, and then we'll figure it out. Lin Zhi felt a little big, looking at Yu Xiaoxue's hesitant expression, Lin Zhi said again, "Don't worry, with me, no one will be harmed." ”
Under Lin Zhi's persuasion, Yu Xiaoxue finally agreed to go into the city with him, and seeing the other party lined up in front of him, Lin Zhi finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
The team entering the city moved slowly, and finally it was Lin Zhi's turn to pay the entrance fee of 2,000 copper coins, and the two entered Kowloon City smoothly.
Kowloon City is worthy of being the main city of the East, and as soon as you enter the city gate, you will see a forest of palaces and splendid palaces. Although he was amazed by the prosperity of Kowloon City, Lin Zhi still understood that there was something important on him, so he continued to move forward with Yu Xiaoxue.
In front of an inn, Lin Zhi and the others stopped. "Let's go inside." Lin Zhi said, and walked into the inn first, Yu Xiaoxue waited for a while, and then followed into the inn.
"You stay here first, and I'll go back to Yuehe Village and settle this matter completely." Lin Zhi asked for a guest room for Xiao Er, arranged for Yu Xiaoxue to stay, and then said to her.
"Brother Agni, you have to be careful." Yu Xiaoxue said worriedly.
"Don't worry, you've seen my skills." Lin Zhi patted his chest and said confidently.
After saying goodbye to Yu Xiaoxue, Lin Zhi left Kowloon City and returned the same way. This back and forth, but it consumes a lot of time, and Lin Zhi very much hopes that there is a mount that can travel for him.
Hope is hope, facts are facts, when Lin Zhi rushed to Yuehe Village, the village had already returned to calm, and he gave up after trying to come to the village chief and his party to search for no results.
The night was quiet, but Lin Zhi's heart was very chaotic, what was the purpose of the sacrifice in Yuehe Village? Why does the village persist in this unkind behavior? Lin Zhi didn't have an answer in his heart.
Walking in a dark corner, Lin Zhi wanted to find someone to ask, but he was afraid of revealing his whereabouts and causing unnecessary trouble.
Lin Zhi walked quietly like this, and unconsciously, he came to a pond, and Lin Zhi immediately reacted that he had arrived at Zhuge Pond in Yuehe Village.
The night is as deep as water, and there shouldn't be anyone else here at this time, at least that's what Lin Zhi thinks. Seeing the water in the pond rippling because of the swimming fish, Lin Zhi actually sank into this scene.
Suddenly, Lin Zhi saw that there seemed to be a figure next to the pond, Lin Zhi secretly wondered, could it be that he was dazzled, but after a closer look, there was indeed a person, Lin Zhi hurriedly hid his figure behind a tree.
"Adventurer, why are you hiding when you're here?" The man said lightly in the direction of Lin Zhi, listening to the voice, it should be a woman.
Lin Zhi thought at first that the other party was cheating, but when he looked at the other party walking towards the tree where he was hiding, he immediately understood that the other party had indeed discovered him.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Lin Zhi walked out and asked coldly.
"My name is Xiao Hexuan, don't you see the starry sky tonight is very beautiful." The woman said calmly.
Lin Zhi looked around, only to feel that the starry sky was impermanent and impermanent, and couldn't help but look at the woman who called herself Xiao Hexuan again.
"Don't you wonder who I am?" Lin Zhi still said coldly, now I'm afraid that the people of the entire Yuehe Village want to catch themselves.
"Everything is vast, humanity is insignificant, among tens of millions of people, you and I meet is fate, so why stick to a code name." Xiao Hexuan's tone was still calm.
"I don't know anything." Lin Zhi said, looking at the other party's inquiring eyes, and continued, "Thousands of red dust, some people regard human life as a mustard and easily deprive others of their lives, why can they still be safe and sound, and no one cares?" ”
"What if it's for more people to be safe?" Xiao Hexuan said lightly.
"Are you saying that the sacrifice in Yuehe Village is for more people to be safe, but is this kind of peace enjoyed by sacrificing others?" Through a short conversation, Lin Zhi knew that Xiao Hexuan was not very human, so he asked the question in his heart.
"I don't think so, but at least the villagers do." Xiao Hexuan said.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Zhi hurriedly asked.
"Yuehe Village used to be a barren land, full of natural disasters, the villagers are miserable, since there is a Taoist priest in the Yuehe Cave to build an altar, and to an innocent girl as a sacrifice, the name of the sacrifice to the Dragon King, when the Yuehe Village wind and rain were smooth. Later, some people objected to this practice, but as long as no sacrifices were offered that year, Yuehe Village continued to suffer from natural disasters, and the villagers were miserable, and in the long run, people became accustomed to this fate. Xiao Hexuan said lightly.
"Do you agree with that?" Lin Zhi asked.
"The heart is right, it's just the wrong way." Xiao Hexuan said.
"Is there anything that can be done to stop that?" Lin Zhi asked.
"Just convince the villagers that they're doing something wrong, and that's fine." Xiao Hexuan said.
"What should I do?" Lin Zhi hurriedly said.
"Go to the reeds, there's a monkey there, and it will guide you." Xiao Hexuan replied.
Lin Zhi arched his hand towards Xiao Hexuan, and then took advantage of the night to rush to Luedze.
Monkey? Why didn't you find out before? Lin Zhi secretly wondered, but his eyes kept searching for the traces of the monkey.
The two tribes of turtles and snakes mainly live in the reeds, the snake tribe in the east and the turtle tribe in the west, and the two tribes are like fire and water, and I don't know how to survive together.
Lin Zhi wandered in the reeds, and from time to time he encountered harassing turtles and snakes, and of course they were all wiped out by himself in the end.
After checking for so long, there was no shadow of a monkey at all, could it be that on the tree, Lin Zhi looked at the sparse trees in the reeds, and couldn't help but wonder for a while.
Give it a try. Lin Zhi thought secretly.
I saw Lin Zhi kick a tree with his foot, and the tree shook violently, but there was no trace of a monkey. Lin Zhi went to try the other trees again.
Seeing that the search for the trees was about to be finished, and there was no trace of the monkeys, Lin Zhi didn't know what to do.
Just after Lin Zhi kicked at the last tree, there was a sudden sound of humming and chirping on the tree, and Lin Zhi looked up to see that a golden monkey was venting his dissatisfaction on the tree.
