Chapter 98: The Secret of Lijia Village
"Friend or foe?" Yue Linglong thought secretly in her heart.
That breath was getting closer and closer, and an invisible coercion swept in with a thick murderous aura, Yue Linglong stumbled, almost unsteady on her feet, large beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her heart was raised.
Immediately afterwards, Yue Linglong felt two strong auras approaching her, and the two auras also carried a strong murderous aura, as if they were chasing the person in front of her.
"Is it a fight between the strong?" Yue Linglong thought to herself.
The Demon Slayer in the space saw Yue Linglong standing by the river at a glance, and the breeze blew through her veil.
Although it was only a glimpse, Yue Linglong's peerless appearance was enough to turn all beings upside down!
There is also the cold and noble temperament around Yue Linglong, like a fairy under the moon!
"How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world! It is said that Mo Ya is the first beauty in the demon world, and it turns out that there are still immortals in the world! Demon Slayer muttered to himself.
"Huh...... It's interesting, the cultivation is so low, you can actually feel the existence of the deity! Seeing Yue Linglong looking around vigilantly, Demon Slayer said with interest, his evil eyes staring at Yue Linglong without blinking.
Demon Slayer Heaven put away the aura and murderous aura all over her body, Yue Linglong only felt that powerful coercion and murderous aura suddenly disappeared, and then she felt a blazing gaze sweeping over her.
Yue Linglong was like a man's back, giving her the feeling that she was the prey and was being targeted by the hunter.
"Qingmo, it's actually Madame!" Qingchen said in surprise.
"How could Madame be here? You must not let the demon slayer know about the existence of Madame, otherwise Madame will definitely become the weakness of the master. Qingmo said solemnly.
"Do you want to keep chasing?" Qingchen asked.
"Chase." Qingmo's thin lips opened lightly, and he coldly spat out a word.
"Hmph, it's really ghostly." Demon Slayer said viciously.
After the Demon Slayer felt the aura chasing behind him, he tore through the space and began to flee at great speed.
Before leaving, he reluctantly glanced at Yue Linglong, his eyes were full of strong possessiveness.
"Beauty, wait for me, the deity will definitely come back to you!" Demon Slayer Heaven said to Yue Linglong in the space.
Yue Linglong only felt a chill all over her body, feeling like a prey being targeted by a hunter, and a creepy feeling arose.
She looked around vigilantly, but her cultivation was too low, and she didn't even see half a figure except for feeling three powerful breaths.
The three breaths disappeared quickly, and Yue Linglong let out a long sigh of relief, a powerhouse of this level, I am afraid that she will be killed in seconds before she has time to hide in the space.
At this time, Yue Linglong was already soaked with sweat, as if she had been fished out of the water, she felt slimy, and she flashed into the Linglong space, took a bath, and came out of the Linglong space.
Yue Linglong saw that the river water had been purified by her own blood, and she didn't want to stay here longer, so she began to return to the village along the same road.
The village was already in full swing, and the villagers did not know where to find the rags, and set up a dozen simple tents, and a dozen large iron pots were erected outside the tents, in which the game from the mountains was boiling, and the smell of meat came to their faces.
The busy figures of the villagers look so harmonious and beautiful!
At this time, the sunset gradually slanted to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Lijia Village, giving Lijia Village a layer of mystery.
"It's the medicine fairy who is back!" A villager shouted excitedly when he saw Yue Linglong appear.
The villagers hurriedly stopped what they were doing and surrounded Yue Linglong in the middle, with joy and excitement on their faces.
"Don't worry! The source of the poison has been solved! Yue Linglong's cold voice sounded.
"Really? That's great! A villager shouted excitedly.
"If only the child's father could have persevered a little longer, maybe he wouldn't have ......" A woman could not finish her sentence, holding her child and crying silently.
The woman's words pierced the tears of all the villagers, thinking of the small tombs on the barren mountain, the joy just now was swept away, the villagers' eyes were red, they lowered their heads and began to be silent, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
"Folks, the deceased is gone, but the living will continue to live." The old village chief saw that everyone was immersed in grief, and opened his mouth to persuade him.
"But the village chief, our village is so poor, and there is nothing to covet, is it ......" As if realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the villager hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand with a look of horror.
Yue Linglong also realized that this might involve the secrets of Lijia Village, and she left with great interest.
"Master, you're back, are you tired?" Seeing Yue Linglong's tired face, Qu Huaiyu hurriedly introduced her into a slightly better tent.
"Miss Linglong is back, has the matter been resolved?" Chu Lingfeng stood up from the chair and greeted him.
"Well, it's solved, when the villagers drink the decoction again tomorrow, the poison should be completely solved, and then we will leave." Yue Linglong said.
Yue Linglong always felt that this Lijia Village was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, even a wizard with such a powerful Taoism was willing to condescend to Lijia Village.
And what the villager hasn't finished saying just now, this village must be hiding an unknown secret, and the three of them should not stay in Lijia Village for too long, so as not to cause more trouble.
"Thanks to Miss Linglong in this poisoning incident, Ling Feng didn't help anything, I'm really ashamed!" Chu Lingfeng said with a smile.
"The lord of Chu City is polite, he has a specialization in the art industry, and this healing and saving people is just my strength!" Yue Linglong said.
"Is the medicine fairy here? The village chief is invited! A villager's voice came from outside the tent.
"Master, it's getting dark, what's the matter with the village chief looking for you at this time?" Qu Huaiyu asked suspiciously.
"Just check it out." Yue Linglong said lightly.
She had a hunch that the village chief's search for her must have something to do with what the villager hadn't finished saying just now.
"Linglong girl, Ling Feng will accompany you." Chu Lingfeng said with concern.
"No, you wait here, I'll go back." After Yue Linglong finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Yixian, you have finally come out, the village chief is waiting for you!" The person outside the tent turned out to be Li Goudan.
"Lead the way!" Yue Linglong nodded and said lightly.
"Medical Immortal, please come with me." Li Goudan bowed and said.
Li Goudan walked through tents and finally stopped in front of a slightly larger tent.
"Yixian, the village chief is in the tent, I can only lead you here." Li Goudan made a gesture of please.
"Has the medicine fairy arrived? Come on in! The old voice of the village chief came from inside the tent.
Yue Linglong stretched out his hand to open the tent, flashed in, and was greeted by a dilapidated table with two candles burning on the table, and an ancient wooden box next to it, and the village chief was sitting at the back of the table, looking at Yue Linglong with a smile.
"What is the village chief looking for me?" Yue Linglong's cold voice sounded.
"Little Li Quangui meets the master!" The village chief suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yue Linglong and said.
"Village chief, why are you ......" The village chief's sudden initiative startled Yue Linglong.
"Lijia Village has been waiting for the return of its master for generations. It's been 10,000 years, and the old and decrepitized three lives are fortunate to finally wait for the return of the master. Li Quangui continued.
"Village chief, you get up first, I don't understand what you're saying." Yue Linglong said.
"The master opens the wooden box on the table and takes a look!" The village chief pointed to the wooden box and said to Yue Linglong.
Yue Linglong opened the box suspiciously, and there was a scroll of paintings and a whip that looked very ordinary.
"Nothing special, huh?" Yue Linglong asked suspiciously.
"The master opened the scroll and looked at it." The village chief said from the side.
Yue Linglong picked up the scroll, slowly opened it, and by the candlelight, Yue Linglong saw the scene in the painting.
With a "snap", the scroll slipped from Yue Linglong's hand and fell to the ground, her face full of shock, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
On the scroll is a portrait of a woman, dressed in white, her hands are like soft wattles, her skin is like clotted fat, her collar is like a grub, her teeth are like a rhinoceros, her head is like a moth, she is smiling, her eyes are beautiful, and the woman in the painting is smiling.
Her black hair is half pulled up, there is no decoration on her body, her hair moves with the wind, her skirt flies, especially the cherry blossom mark on her forehead, which makes her already beautiful face a little more charming, and the cold and noble temperament around her body is like a fairy under the moon.
Yue Linglong was shocked that this woman actually looked exactly like herself, except for the cherry blossom mark on her forehead, and she had also seen this woman in her dream when she had just crossed over.
The village chief picked up the scroll on the ground, re-rolled it, and put it in a wooden box.
"Village Chief, what the hell is going on?" Yue Linglong quickly reacted and asked suspiciously.
"Ten thousand years ago, our ancestors were also able to cultivate, and we had an ancestor who also crossed the catastrophe to become an immortal, and then the ancestor made a mistake in the immortal world, and the Emperor of Heaven cut off the spiritual root of his clan in order to punish him." The village chief said.
"And then?" Yue Linglong asked.
"Later, our ancestors all became waste materials overnight, and even the babies born after that did not have any spirit to gather, until one day, an old man came to Lijia Village and handed our ancestors a wooden box." The village chief continued.
"Is this the wooden box?" Yue Linglong asked.
"Yes, the old man said that in 10,000 years, Lijia Village will suffer a catastrophe, and then there will be a woman, she will save Lijia Village from fire and water, and then we will recognize her as the master, she can awaken our spiritual roots, so that the villagers of Lijia Village can get rid of the pain of waste materials." The village chief said again.
"Why do you think that person is me?" Yue Linglong asked suspiciously.
She has the best spirit gathering liquid, which can indeed make the villagers reunite their spirits, but at the same time, she feels uncomfortable, feeling like her fate is in the hands of others.
"The old man said that the woman who looks like the person in the painting is the person we are looking for, and he will hand over the contents of the box to you." The village chief replied.
"Who's that old man?" Yue Linglong asked.
"His name is 'Tianjizi'." The village chief replied.
