Chapter 71: Autumn Water Sword
The so-called ancestral hall is just a large thatched house, the only special thing is that it is made of black grass, which looks full of solemnity and solemnity.
Outside the ancestral hall, an elderly black dog was crawling on the ground, and those cloudy and withered yellow eyes shot out a ray of essence light after seeing Chu Feng, which was extremely penetrating.
Chu Feng saw that the dog's body shape was no different from that of a wolf, it should be a kind of wolf dog, and it belonged to a military dog. Judging by its demeanor, the species is rare and the bloodline is noble.
"This is Xiaobao's grandfather."
Qingqing leaned over and rubbed a pair of small hands on the black dog's forehead, smiling all over his face.
The black dog's gaze softened, his tail wagged, and he was still lying on the ground.
"Whoever comes is a guest, come in."
A hoarse voice came from the ancestral hall.
"Hmm!"
Qingqing walked in with Chu Feng.
"Qingqing, you are waiting outside, don't let others in without my order."
"Huh?" Qingqing was stunned, but then nodded and said, "Okay grandpa." ”
She smiled at Chu Feng and made a gesture of invitation.
Chu Feng bowed his head, walked past her, and stepped into the ancestral hall alone.
In the ancestral hall, an old man turned his back to Chu Feng, knelt on the futon, and bowed and worshipped.
Chu Feng raised his head, thinking that the old man was worshipping the ancestor's tablet, but he never thought that it was actually a battle suit, and the whole body was black.
Next to the black suit was a bronze sword, the blade of the sword was like a willow leaf, slender and pointed, nearly three feet long, cold and cold, it was by no means an ordinary sword.
Chu Feng frowned, his gaze resting on the black clothes and the long sword, and fell into deep thought.
"Ahem......"
The old man's intermittent coughing brought Chu Feng back from his thoughts.
Chu Feng came back to his senses, only to find that the old man had turned around at some point.
The old man has white hair, a wrinkled face, chapped lips, and looks to be over eighty years old.
His dead eyes like a dry well stared at Chu Feng tightly, but he didn't make waves.
After a long time, the old man exhaled, his chest heaved and his breathing was unsteady.
Just like the black dog outside the hall, the old man is too old, and he is also half buried in the ground, and I am afraid that there is not much time left.
The corners of the old man's mouth moved, revealing a mouthful of sparse yellow teeth, and said, "The old man is too old to salute the land, please forgive me." ”
"Oh?" Chu Feng's eyes lit up, "Do you know that I am the land lord?" ”
The old man laughed, but the laughter was like crying, and a wrinkled face was huddled together like yellow skin.
"This place is in the middle of the Eight Hundred Miles Mountain Range, there are countless monsters, how can mortals come in? What's more, Your Excellency is not yet human. ”
The corners of Chu Feng's mouth rose slightly, with an elusive smile, and said, "Yes, the Eight Hundred Miles Mountain Range, how can mortals come in?" If you run for your life, will you pick a monster lair to escape? ”
The old man's face instantly darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with you. ”
Chu Feng looked at the black armor and said, "I'm curious, which general's battle suit is this." ”
The old man tilted his head slightly, glanced at the battle suit out of the corner of his eye, sighed softly, and said, "The past is like smoke, and it is not appropriate to chase it too deeply." ”
Chu Feng bowed his head and said, "The past is unchangeable, but the present is in your own hands." ”
The old man's gaze moved upward, glared at Chu Feng, and said, "The matter here has nothing to do with you!" Qingqing is the granddaughter of Lao Yu, Lao Yu doesn't allow you to tell her about the outside world, she is still a child, and she can't withstand temptation. ”
"I didn't tempt her, I just told her the real situation."
Chu Feng shrugged.
"As a land lord, your duty is not here, right?" The old man's voice froze.
Chu Feng said lightly: "Maybe." ”
The old man fell silent.
Chu Feng didn't speak, his gaze still stayed on the black clothes and the long sword.
Time passes minute by minute.
After a long time, the old man took a long breath and said: "Recently, the clansmen have often had accidents, or died tragically, or disappeared. ”
"This is my duty, and I will do my best," Chu Feng said, "However, since it has been more than three hundred years since your ancestors came here, you should understand the horror of Infernal Mountain, and if it continues like this, your clan will only get fewer and fewer, so why don't you go back to the outside world?" ”
"I said, it's none of your business, and you are not allowed to talk to Qingqing about the outside world again! Ahem......"
The old man became excited, coughing intermittently, and it would be difficult to stop for a while.
Silence again.
There was a long silence.
"It's not early, the land lord will rest in the peach blossom garden tonight, be careful when you go to Infernal Mountain tomorrow, the last land lord will be ...... in less than a month"
The old man spoke again, his tone gentle, his expression worried, and his words sincere.
"Do you know anything about the youkai of Infernal Mountain?" Chu Feng thought for a moment and said.
Since the people of Peach Blossom Land have lived here for hundreds of years, they may know something.
The old man shook his head and said, "There is not a lot of useful news, but my grandfather once warned me to be careful with the vines. ”
"Vines?"
Chu Feng frowned, not knowing why.
"Thank you."
Still, he thanked him.
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Chu Feng turned around and walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall.
"The ......"
The old man's voice came.
Chu Feng stopped, tilted his head slightly, and did not turn around.
"You can tell Qingqing something about the outside world, it's also great to be able to swim in the beautiful world in your dreams."
The old man sighed.
Chu Feng didn't speak, and walked out of the ancestral hall directly.
"Little Bunny, it's getting dark, where are you going at night?"
Qingqing saw Chu Feng come out and said.
Chu Feng retracted his thoughts, jumped directly to Qingqing, and said, "Your grandfather said it, you are responsible for sleeping for me." Oh no, you're in charge of sleeping with me. ”
"Uh-huh!"
Qingqing smiled happily.
That night, the villagers of Peach Blossom Land entertained Chu Feng, Tianpeng and Jade Rabbit.
This moved Chu Feng.
It's so simple.
If it were placed elsewhere in the world, who would entertain two rabbits and a pig......
That night, Chu Feng walked out of the thatched hut and lay on a stone step, looking at the night full of stars.
"Little Bunny!"
Qingqing also woke up, dressed in single clothes, walked towards Chu Feng, and also lay on the stone steps.
"Beware of the cold."
Chu Feng took out an overcoat from the system storage room and draped it over her body.
"Little Bunny, how did you do it, it's amazing!"
Qingqing was surprised.
"It's magic."
Chu Feng smiled.
Qingqing lay on the steps, looking at the bright night, and longed: "Do people from the outside world know magic?" ”
"People from the outside don't know if they will, but rabbits from the outside world will." Chu Feng teased.
"The world is so big, I really want to see it."
Qingqing's clear eyes are like the stars in the sky, radiating a beautiful light.
"Is the sea beautiful?"
"Beauty, it's the beauty of blue."
"What about the grasslands?"
"It's wild beauty, galloping as far as the eye can see."
"Where's the capital?"
"Singing at night, prosperous as a dream."
"Wow, one day I can go to the capital, I'm going to stand on the tower......"
"What?"
"Hmm...... Stand on the tower...... I want to think about it...... I'm going to hold the little bunny and declare that the whole world is mine. ”
"Then you're done."
"What's wrong?"
"You are so beautiful, the princes of the world will definitely fight for you, and the mountains and rivers will be broken, and the people will not be able to make a living."
"Ah...... So what to do? ”
"Simple, when I rule the world, I will stand on the tower and declare that you are my woman, and no one dares to bully you."
"What about the world? The world is so beautiful. ”
"It doesn't matter, the world belongs to you, you belong to me."
"Well, deal!"
Qingqing hugged Chu Feng, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep with a smile on his face.
In her dreams, it may be the most beautiful world in her heart.
Chu Feng also closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The tip of the nose lingers with a faint dandelion fragrance.
A colorful butterfly dances and finally lands at the corner of the stone steps.
At night, an eagle hovers and shuttles through the light of the stars.
The occasional bark or two seemed so weak and weak.
