Chapter 233: Iwamura
In the village at the foot of the volcano, Lin Shuai was warmly greeted by several villagers to the reception room, and the village chief was on his way, and after a while, the table was full of colorful fruits.
Lin Shuai was flattered, secretly looked at the expressions of these people, and found that the excitement did not seem to be pretended, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
What to say about the children of prophecy? And what do they mean by "saved", is there some calamity hidden in this seemingly harmonious world?
Lin Shuai didn't touch the fruits and the tea they prepared, even if he picked a weed on the side of the road, he could see the attributes, and he didn't dare to eat these unknown things.
I don't know if death means failure, in short, Lin Shuai didn't want to try it.
The man who had spoken to Lin Shuai earlier was called Yan Li, and everyone here was surnamed Yan, and the name of the village was Yan Village.
The man's face was impatiently happy, and he always kept adding tea and handing fruits to Lin Shuai, and he kept muttering about what God has eyes, God blessed, as if he regarded himself as a messenger of the gods.
Lin Shuai could only face it with an embarrassed but elegant smile in this atmosphere, and he didn't know what to ask for a while, until their village chief arrived.
A young man helped an old man into the room, and several people suddenly fell silent.
The appearance of the village chief is very distinctive, whether it is hair, eyebrows and beard, it is red, like a flame, but the skin is contrastingly fair, red-haired and childish? … This caused Lin Shuai to look awkward, and he really didn't look like a village chief.
"Prophet, welcome to you."
The village chief waved his hand to let the other people retreat, leaving only Yan Li, and then respectfully saluted Lin Shuai.
The sound seems familiar.
But he didn't think too much, Lin Shuai didn't think that he could still meet acquaintances in this world that didn't know how to leave the Miracle Continent, so he got up and saluted, "Hello, my name is Yuluo, and I came from the other side of the mountain." ”
Iwayama smiled and said with a sigh: "The one who can come from that world is the son of prophecy that Zu Xun said, this will never be wrong, we have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Iwayama motioned for Lin Shuai to sit down, and then sat down by himself, and Iwali hurriedly poured water for the two.
Iwayama's eyes glanced at the things on the table, Lin Shuai didn't move, and his eyes flashed for a moment.
Lin Shuai said: "What does the son of prophecy mean?" And Zu Xun? How are you... Have you always lived here? ”
Feeling that it was inappropriate to ask directly, Lin Shuai changed his words, after all, they may not know that they live in a closed world.
"Eh...," Iwayama smiled and waved his hand, "There's no hurry, I've already had a meal ready when I came, so we might as well talk while eating." You must have suffered a lot from the Fire Domain, since we have a request for others, how can we snub you......"
"I'm not going to hide it, I'm still in a hurry." Lin Shuai interrupted sincerely, looking at the village chief with his eyes.
In a strange environment, even if the immortal Lin Shuai suddenly appeared, he couldn't raise his respect, let alone look at the extremely awkward old village chief, it would be good if Lin Shuai didn't slaughter him as a red-haired monster.
Perhaps this may be a matter of faith, Lin Shuai has always only believed in himself.
And Zhan Ruyi is still suffering, and he ran to eat the wind banquet by himself? Because of some things, I already felt sorry for her, how could Lin Shuai let that crack wider.
What's more, Lin Shuai really didn't dare to eat "three nos".
"Oh?" Yan Shan's expression was slightly stunned, and he immediately smiled awkwardly, obviously he didn't expect Lin Shuai to be so faceless, "Well, this matter actually started a long, long time ago..."
…
"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain, and there was an old abbot in the temple with colorful lanterns..."
…
With such an explanation, Lin Shuai roughly understood what was happening here.
The people of the village know that they are in a predicament, because it seems that the mountains and rivers are in the distance, and when you get closer, you will find that it is actually a cliff, and under the cliff is an endless void.
Who their ancestors were, how they came here is no longer known, I don't know how many years have passed, and dozens or even hundreds of generations of people have changed.
The source of the calamity is that there is an extremely cruel rule in this world, and whenever the number of people in the village reaches 1,000, the heavens will send down heavenly punishment.
Heavenly Punishment is the volcano behind it, and once it gets angry, it can't be filled by a few thousand people.
Therefore, in order to keep it above that limit and maintain the injection of fresh blood in the village, every year when a few babies are born, a few old people will take the initiative to jump into the void or enter the fire area to find life.
Of course, the result is death without exception.
The ancestral teachings were handed down by the oldest generation, and they clearly recorded the tragic situation of the disaster and everything about this place, and one of the prophecies explained.
If someone can make it out of that fire area alive, he will definitely be able to lead the villagers out of here.
The truth or falsehood is unknown, maybe it is just the guess of the ancestors, but now this is the hope of the whole village, so they will treat him like a savior when they see Lin Shuai.
"Ang, then your ancestor didn't say how I should save you?" Lin Shuai brushed his thoughts, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, the story is actually really simple.
However, the old village chief seemed to have two catties of in his mouth, and what he said was in the clouds, grinding and chirping, and he couldn't say anything.
Usually the dialogue is fine, but once you enter the narrative mode, it's like a virus system, and Iwatachi is uncomfortable listening to it, and I can't wait to grab the conversation from him.
Yan Shan drank saliva to moisten his throat, he was actually very embarrassed, he could see Lin Shuai's impatience, but there was no way.
Just like some people are born with a stutter but sing extremely smoothly, they are not naturally suitable for storytelling, and they are still the same after practicing it many times.
"It's not recorded in the ancestral training..."Iwayama said embarrassedly, and then looked at Lin Shuai expectantly, hoping that he could come up with some good ideas.
Lin Shuai also went to the Tao, pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then said his purpose, "You have built a mountain road on the mountain, but you usually worship that volcano. Is there anyone or legend that there is a temple in that mountain? I am here for this, and perhaps it is the opportunity for your ancestors to prophesy. ”
"Temple?!" Yan Shan's voice suddenly raised a few tones, and then glanced at Yan Li, Yan Li's mind immediately retreated, and only Lin Shuai and Yan Shan were left in the room.
Lin Shuai picked up the teacup and pretended to take a sip of water, but in fact, he drank pure water hidden in the storage space, which made his lips moist.
The teacup had a lid tightly covered, and Iwayama didn't notice this detail, only when Lin Shuai really drank the water.
Lin Shuai's expression was different, and when he just picked up the teacup, he vaguely smelled a faint familiar smell.
It's so familiar that it can't be familiar, it's the smell of the Heavenly Demon Flower.
What he did when he fought Nirvana's wind for the first time was also one of the important factors in obtaining the "Blessing of *** Special".
The Heavenly Demon Flower grew in the dark water, but it did not have a rancid smell, but a light aroma, and Lin Shuai was sure that he would not be mistaken.
For only that fragrance can make a man see the illusion of death.
