Chapter 376: Dead and Dead
Lin Chaoyang looked at his daughter's searching gaze, his sword eyebrows frowned,
"In less than half a day, the subordinate sent to him was already familiar with the people in the village. At lunchtime, when they had dinner together, he heard that this 'Izumo Village' had existed for more than 300 years. It was established by the founding emperor Taizu in order to protect the mausoleum and the underground palace, so that the guards who followed him back then established it, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyue's eyebrows furrowed. My father didn't know, but Izumo Village was probably not passed down from generation to generation. She had reason to believe that the patriarch in Izumo Village was definitely more than Gu Xi.
At this time, Lin Chaoyang also frowned, "And their duty, in addition to guarding the peace of the underground palace, is to guard the Xuanguang Stone left by the Great Grandfather." ”
"Grandpa's Xuanguang Stone?" Lin Yaoyue took over the words of her father Lin Chaoyang. But he instantly understood the emperor's intentions.
"Doesn't this make our Lin family do a big rebellious move?" Lin Yaoyue's inky phoenix eyes were clear. And the expected father's rebuke did not come.
And she also breathed a sigh of relief, understanding that Emperor Murong Ping had finally touched her father's scales. But he also thought that if he couldn't successfully suppress the bandits, he would not obey the order, but if the bandits got the Xuanguang Stone, it would destroy the mausoleum of Taizu.
I'm afraid, this is one of the emperor's calculations. And this Xuanguang stone should not be a simple thing.
Lin Yaoyue stared at the man named Ah Hu who was watching the wind on the side.
My father still doesn't know about the flesh-eating foreign objects in Izumo Village. But the attack on my father in the forest is very suspicious.
"Dad, what about the soldiers who came with you?"
Hearing this, Lin Chaoyang's sword eyebrows furrowed for a moment and said, "Even if it is the emperor's holy decree, the father can't cut the heads of the mountain people in vain. Therefore, for his father, he wanted to secretly lead his troops into the 'Izumo Village', and after getting acquainted with them, he persuaded the patriarch to take out the Xuanguang Stone.
But I didn't think that the soldiers had just made preparations, and when they were halfway there, they were attacked by fierce beasts. ”
Lin Yaoyue nodded when she heard this, and said to Lin Chaoyang, "Dad, you can rest here for a while." Ah Hu and I are here to get some water and collect some herbs. Be back soon. ”
Seeing his daughter's intimate behavior at the moment, Lin Chaoyang was quite relieved, he and Qingning's little padded jackets have grown up, and they are no longer as crazy as they were when they were children.
And here, Lin Yaoyue pulled Ah Hu's sleeve and came not far away, raised her eyes to look at his restrained expression at the moment and said, "Ah Hu, there is something I have to ask you." Then, I'll follow you to collect some game in this mountain forest for you."
Hearing this, Ah Hu nodded. But when he looked at Lin Yaoyue, there was already a slight glimmer of looking at the prey.
"Are there any runaway villagers in your village?"
Ah Hu was a little confused, but shook his head, "I'm not actually a villager in this 'Izumo Village' myself. It was because of curiosity with his companions that he climbed into the mountains for a while. Bitten by a tiger and dying to the extreme, the patriarch will pick it up and return to 'Izumo Village'. Although I came to my senses, I could no longer be called human. ”
Speaking of this, the desire in Ah Hu's eyes was replaced by that thick sadness. And at this time, Lin Yaoyue unexpectedly heard Ling'er's voice calling, "Is it you? ”
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyue couldn't figure out whether she should respond or avoid it. I heard Ah Hu whisper, "Our village is not full of monsters like me. Sister Xiu'er is a child picked up by the patriarch, she is a human being.
The patriarch said that monsters like us must also be contaminated with popularity in order not to be discovered. ”
Lin Yaoyue nodded when she heard this, but she still seemed to be waiting for something. Then, I heard a clear and calm call, "Yue'er, is that you?"
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyue's white little face hooked up a truly happy smile, bright and bright, and it shook Ah Hu's eyes. "Let's go, Ah Hu. My brother's hunting skills are much better than mine, so I'll roast you with a Lin flavor. ”
Lin Yaoyue smiled lightly and reached out to Ah Hu's cuffs. And Ah Hu's eyes lit up instantly with that gentle demeanor!
It was as if the despicable life of the past few decades had suddenly taken on meaning, and finally a light had re-entered his life. Immediately, Ah Hu walked out with Lin Yaoyue with a smile.
But the next moment, he hugged Lin Yaoyue suddenly. It was the first and last time he held a girl so closely.
And immediately after, in front of Lin Yaoyue's eyes, Ah Hu's body was wiped out and turned into dry bones!
The impact was strong, with scarlet fly ash. In an instant, Lin Yaoyue's heart stopped beating. And when she tilted her eyes back, she saw the white-bearded patriarch in 'Izumo Village' looking at her with a hint of mockery,
"Where else can you escape? Do you know that old enough to follow the smell of blood on you and your father to find you?"
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyue touched her neck. It turned out that the old monster not only wanted Ah Hu to hurt himself, but also made such a calculation in advance. Sure enough, he lived for more than 300 years!
The next moment, Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but face him with a sword, but at this time, she was pulled by a slender wrist and avoided in the forest.
"Keep up with my ——!"
Lin Yaoyue followed Ling'er's pace, turning left and right, until she got rid of the villagers of 'Izumo Village' behind her and the patriarch who had lived for more than three hundred years.
But they were almost at the foot of the mountain, and Ling'er stopped with Lin Yaoyue.
"Don't worry. Except for the patriarch, the rest of the villagers who have died must not leave the 'Izumo Village' too far, otherwise they will turn into white bones again. ”
Lin Yaoyue looked at the girl in front of her who was also out of breath with her, but the next moment, she lowered her eyes, "Do you know how much of a risk you took in this way?"
But when she heard this, the girl named Ling'er smiled brightly and said, "Who made you the sister of the Lin family." ”
Looking at the playful brilliance under her smart eyes, Lin Yaoyue paused for a moment, "Then my brother is around here." ”
"Yes, I persuaded him for a long time to stay outside the irradiation range of the Xuanguang Stone. ”
Lin Yaoyue looked at Ling'er in front of her and said softly, "You shouldn't make such a big sacrifice for my brother, someone you have just met. ”
"It doesn't have to be a sacrifice, maybe there will be a good reward. Saying that, Ling'er smiled and pulled Lin Yaoyue up and walked in the direction of Lin Zhenyu.
And at this moment, there was a strange sound behind him.
Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips! Immediately, she suddenly pulled Ling'er closer and said, "Take my brother to save our father." I'm holding him back here, please!"
As she spoke, Lin Yaoyue violently used her internal force to send Ling'er out of some distance, while she turned her head to face the white-bearded old man who was already standing behind her.
