Chapter 7: The Iron King
While panting, Li Gengai wiped his sweat and said secretly: Fortunately, the time is accurate.
To everyone's surprise, there was a living heart beating in the skeleton's chest, so Li Gaiai said to everyone that this was Hu Si's heart, and when he said it, he picked it out with a peach branch, and with a thunderclap on his backhand, the skeleton suddenly turned into ashes, and at this time, the young woman in white had turned into a withered yellow leaf and flew away with the wind.
As if conjuring, Li Reform picked open Hu Si's chest with a peach branch, took out a piece of silver, and returned that heart to him. But who knew that Hu Si woke up and cried bitterly, "Where is my silver?" Where's my beauty? ”
When he saw a pile of ashes, he cried bitterly, and then jumped into the burning tomb and died with the young woman in white, and everyone couldn't pull it back.
Li Gai sighed: This Hu Sizhong's demonic barrier is too deep, even if he is rescued, he is not a normal person, this is his life, and when he came into contact with this female corpse, he was exhausted.
It turns out that this female corpse is nothing else, it is the drought that was beaten back to its original form by the master in the Republic of China, and it is sealed here, when the master sealed him, he has mixed his essence and blood with cinnabar and other things, and blocked the exit of this drought together, thinking that as long as no one opens this coffin, there will be no problem.
Here, some people may ask, in this case, why didn't the masters dispose of this drought together at that time?
The cultivation of this drought fish at that time was already quite profound, and it was by no means an ordinary little monster, the master and his fighting method, with all his strength and essence, had already gone to a seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight times, and then used his life's ability, it was not easy to seal this drought fish, and it was already impossible to kill this drought fish directly.
Besides, this drought—
At that time, this drought for the master in one fell swoop to fly three souls, dying, and sealed, a body of strength has already gone to a seven, seven, eighty-eight, and was buried in the endless abyss of the underground, no way, has been holding his breath into a deep sleep, looking for an opportunity, this sleep is more than half a century, who knows that not long ago the torrential rain, the coffin that sealed her washed to the surface of the West Mountain, so although I can not get out of the coffin to do evil, but I can use my corpse to affect all the livestock people in this Qingtang Village.
First of all, all the nearby plants and trees and animal essence were sucked away, and then the longevity of the human race, to Li Reform's surprise, even if there was only a trace of strength left, the female corpse was still extraordinary, she directly skipped the round of livestock in the village and began to attack the human race.
Some people may ask again, why do we have to start with the old man first?
Because the old man is about to die, their vigor and vitality are far inferior to the young people, and they can resist the evil curse of the female corpse, so the old man has become the first victim, once all the old people in the village are dead, then the middle-aged people, the young people, and finally the children.
The last time this female corpse had a deficit was too big, even if it ate the hearts of the entire village, I am afraid it would not be able to make up for it, Li Reform's means of reform are not comparable to those who have subdued this demon before, the reason why she picked up such a big bargain this time is that the current state of this female corpse is really bad, just like just running a marathon of 10,000 meters, as long as someone who is a little stronger can be defeated.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, this time it's really thanks to you here."
When the crowd saw all this, they were already so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and they reacted and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Reform.
Li Gai helped them up, "Don't worry, no one in the village will die one after another, the important thing is that the evil consequences caused by this female corpse for a while are still difficult to eliminate, and it will take a long time for the village's anger to be replenished, and even her bones are also a big murderous thing, you and I will carry her coffin to the deep mountains, find a place to bury it, and this time we must not let anyone open it again." ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
After such a thing, where can we not only look forward to the reform of Li Zheng?
When a group of people carried hoes down the mountain again, they only felt that the gloomy atmosphere in the mountain seemed to have decreased a lot, and even the mood was relaxed, and they had to sigh the magic of this Li reform.
Because of the solution to this confidant problem, the village office that used to be full of birds, it was lively, and there were people running here at both ends in three days, either giving gifts or giving tea, even if Li Reform said no, but still couldn't bear their enthusiasm, so they had to accept some, and today it was the Zhao family villager who led the way at the beginning of the year to carry a "quack" goose and came to the village office.
"No, no, no, no—I can't take that."
"Hey- you take it, take it—"
"I can't accept the gift, but I do want to ask you about the village."
"It's easy to say, I'm familiar with anything in the village, if you ask, if there's anything I don't know, count me as losing."
Li Gai hesitated for a while, but still said the name of the person he was looking for.
"No, brother, there is really no such person in the village, when you came, I really didn't lie to you, even if you are kind to the village now, you should tell you, I still tell you this, can my brother lie to you? Right? No—that's not true. ”
Nope—
Looking at this person's expression, it doesn't seem like a lie, Li Gai has been in the village for more than a year, and he has made many secret visits, if he really didn't, didn't he come in vain this trip? If you can't find this person, how can you get there?
"Hey—I thought I could find the Iron King here, but it turned out that I was delusional."
The Iron King of the Lone Thorn??
The villager's brows furrowed, "Wait, brother, what does this one-thorn iron king you are talking about, what does it look like?" ”
"I haven't seen him before, but he's supposed to be muscular, very tough."
The villager touched his chin, "That's weird, he doesn't look like this." ”
"Huh?" Li Gai had a spirit, "You know him? ”
"Oh, I haven't seen this and what the Iron King of the One Thorn you are talking about, but there is a man in the village who makes iron tools, and everyone else calls him Uncle Tie, it shouldn't be the person you are looking for, that guy - emmmmmm - how can I say it, anyway, it doesn't match up with what kind of tough and strong."
Uncle Iron?
Li Gai wondered, "Why have I never heard of this person?" ”
"That old man usually lives in a simple place, usually only makes some tongs, iron pots to eat, rarely communicate with people, the last time there was an accident in the village, I haven't heard from him for several months, everyone thinks he is dead because of his age, he is single, and no one asks him, when the matter is a few days ago, when he is ready to collect his body, I didn't expect him to be there to strike iron."
A hint of urgency crossed Li Reform's eyes, "Quick, take me to meet him." ”
When the two of them came to the home of the so-called "Iron Uncle", they heard the sound of "scandium, scandium, scandium" from a distance, and pushed the fence open, but saw that in one of the two thatched houses, there was a thin old man, who was operating an iron hammer and smashed it from a high altitude on a grinding plate.
Between the bellows agitation, the "whirring" sounded, and every time the old man's hammer fell, the terrifying light in his eyes was like a poisonous snake in the desert, biting the most accurate place, and the hammer that fell was impartial, and every tong, he was dead to control it within six hammers, absolutely no more, no less, even if Li Reform stood next to him and counted more than fifty times, no tongs were more than six hammers or less than six hammers.
"Scandium, scandium—"
The sound of striking iron is as crisp as if gold and jade collide, and the crisp sound is in the mountain village, composing a strange song.
The old man was thin, and the beads of sweat left behind slid across his sunken cheeks and fell to the ground, where a large piece of the ground was wet, and the strange thing was that his hands were always dry, no matter how much sweat was on his body, his hands were never wet, and people couldn't help but wonder how an old man of such age could dance such a big hammer, but the facts were in front of him, and you couldn't believe it.
The villagers of the Zhao family also accompanied Li Reform to look at it for a while, and seemed to feel a little bored, scratching their noses, "That, sir, this is who, I'll just say it's not the person you're looking for, let's go, I'll go back to the town to inquire about you, and I'll definitely help you get things done, don't worry, you have saved so many lives in our village, this little thing, where can I not give you success?" You say you're - oops-"
"Hey-sir, this old guy has a very stubborn temper and a strange personality, if you go in without saying hello, you will be scolded, hey-sir-"
"Mr. ——??"
…………
The villagers of the Zhao family wanted to say something more, but Li Reform had already pushed the door in.
"Look no further, he's the one I'm looking for."
…………
"Scandium, scandium—"
After the hammer fell six times, another pair of tongs was completed, and an uninvited guest broke into the house, but the old man did not raise his head.
Li Gai looked respectful, stood aside and bowed his head, and did not speak, just watched the old man's movements.
"If you want to buy something, take the money, and leave quickly if you don't buy something."
The old man didn't raise his head, but he didn't stop.
"You are the Iron King of the Lone Thorn."
This is an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.
The old man didn't have a superfluous expression, "What a one-thorn iron king, I haven't heard of it." ”
"I'm looking for the Iron King, hoping he can do me a favor."
"Then what are you going to do with him, and come into my house? Are you here to smash the field? I'm not afraid of you, old thing. ”
"Sir, the junior has no intention of bothering, I just hope that Mr. can accompany me to Tibet, I want to go there to find something."
"Hehe-" The old man laughed strangely, and finally snorted slightly, "Don't say I'm not, even if I am, what are you?" Drink to me, let me go and I'll go with you? ”
"Then what if, the younger generation has a letter from Mr. Jiang Yunsu?"
"Scandium—"
The sound of striking iron stopped abruptly, the old man's movements suddenly stopped, and in the midst of the flames, he glanced sideways at Li Reform, who stood outside the thatched house with a respectful face, without the slightest complaint.
"Say it again."
"Here in the junior, there is a letter from Mr. Jiang Yunsu, I hope the old gentleman will come with me."
"Whew-"
The tongs were suddenly thrown into the cold water to cool down, and the sound of the bellows also stopped suddenly.
