Chapter 37: Bones and Dragon Balls
From the first moment Zhang Xiaohu was shrouded in thick fog, his mind was a little dizzy. He began to think that it might be due to excessive fatigue, but he noticed that the others were also looking sluggish, and he knew that there must be something strange about this sudden white mist! However, he could no longer control his consciousness, and under the intense fatigue, he fell back and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaohu heard a noisy sound. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a wooden platform, with Yan Cannon and Yichen still asleep beside him. Under the wooden platform, dozens of people were around, and an old man with white hair was crying bitterly under the support of others.
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly woke up the others, and everyone's reaction when they woke up was the same as him, completely overwhelmed.
"Why am I here?" Zhao Zixuan looked around and found that several people were sitting on the platform where the bones of the giant python were enshrined in the Nanmu Village Square.
The white-haired old man saw a few people wake up, and roared angrily: "You still haven't come down yet!" ”
After Yan Dacang got up, he felt that his ribs hurt badly, and he was burning in his stomach, so he scolded: "You old immortal!" Shout at whom! It's boring, isn't it? Don't use grandpa to loosen the skin for you! Having said that, he endured the pain and jumped off the wooden platform.
The old man cried a handful of snot and tears, and instead of fearing Yan Cannon, he sharply accused: "We will meet the requirements you made during your previous visit. Why did you turn back and destroy the holy relics in my village now! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, old man! Who has destroyed your holy relics? Zhao Zixuan also jumped off the wooden platform.
"Do you dare to admit it?" The old man pointed behind a few people and shouted.
Zhang Xiaohu and the others looked back and found that the complete skeleton of the giant python that they had seen a few days ago was scattered all over the ground at this moment, and several pieces had been completely shattered.
"Old man, we didn't do it, we couldn't find your village last night, and..." Yan Dacang thought about it and felt that what happened last night was too outrageous, and no one believed it. He paused, then continued: "And, you said we did it, is there any evidence?" ”
The old man shouted, "What evidence!" Someone found you waiting here early in the morning, you must have sneaked in last night and tried to do something wrong! The more I talked, the more excited I became.
Yan Dacang and the white-haired old man quarreled, but Zhang Xiaohu's mind was a mess, he also suspected that everything that happened last night was an illusion, but how to explain the injuries on his two arms, and how to explain the unknown stone in King Peter's arms. He was still thinking about these questions, when he suddenly heard Yan Dacang roar angrily, "You old immortal!" Believe it or not, grandpa blew you up! ”
I saw that Yan Dacang took out a fake grenade from his pocket, intending to control everyone's emotions, but it backfired, and the surrounding villagers all showed angry expressions on their faces when they saw this, and their emotions became more and more excited.
"Whoa!" I could only hear the sound of bones colliding from the broken bones of the giant snake, and the villagers of Nanmu Village saw a young girl holding several sacred relics and throwing them to the ground one by one.
"Stop!" "Presumptuous!" "Bold!" The villagers shouted everything! They were afraid that the girl would do something out of the ordinary again.
"You have to shut up!" Li Yichen blushed and shouted: "I just threw a few pieces lightly, and I made such a loud noise, if these were really done by us, how loud would they be in the middle of the night, but did you hear any strange sounds last night?" This is one of them! Second, even if we did it, why didn't we run away overnight, but instead lay here generously and waited for you to arrest us, do you think we are stupid? Why do we do such idiotic things! The words were reasonable, and the villagers of Nanmu Village were speechless and didn't know how to respond.
After hearing this, the white-haired old man gradually calmed down, just now he saw that the holy relics in the village were damaged, he was too excited for a while, and did not delve into these things, but now that he thinks about it carefully, there are indeed many doubts! Although these outsiders are a bit arrogant, they are not like unreasonable people.
Everyone fell silent, and suddenly, a young man ran to the white-haired old man in a panic and exclaimed, "Long... Elder! Event... Oh no! Dragon Ball... Dragon Ball is gone! ”
All the surrounding villagers exclaimed in unison, "Ah! ”
The white-haired old man knelt on the ground in despair, prayed, and said sadly: "The dragon god has just left, and now that the dragon ball has been lost again, Nanmu Village is about to suffer a catastrophe." ”
Many villagers also spontaneously knelt on the ground, all with desperate expressions.
"Lao Zhang, what's wrong with these people? I'm always surprised! Zhao Zixuan looked at the grief-stricken villagers and quietly asked Zhang Xiaohu.
"Don't talk nonsense, look at their appearance, something important should be missing!" Zhang Xiaohu stepped forward to help the old man up and asked, "Grandpa, what are the Dragon Balls you are talking about?" ”
The old man looked at Zhang Xiaohu and sighed: "The bones of the dragon ball and the dragon god are the basis for the survival of Nanmu Village, only these two things are here, the fierce beasts in the forest will not come to this Nanmu Village, and we can also live here in peace and contentment." Now that there are no two of these things, we can't live here, and soon the beasts of the forest will come, and we will die if we don't go! After saying this, the old man began to weep sadly again.
Zhang Xiaohu comforted: "Grandpa, the remains of this dragon god are indeed not made by us, we were shrouded in a white mist this morning, and then we lost consciousness, and then we woke up and came here." You may not believe it, but it's true, and we don't know why. As for what Dragon Ball is, we don't know even more. But if you'd like to talk to us, we can help you find it. ”
The old man gestured with his hand, "Such a size, the whole body is golden, and it emits a faint fragrance!" Zhang Xiaohu heard half of it, and felt that what the old man said seemed to be the object that King Peter was holding in his arms, but the old man also said that the dragon ball had a faint fragrance, but the piece that King Peter was holding, the smell was so simple that he felt a little disgusted just thinking about it!
"Grandpa, we have a thing here, it's very similar to the Dragon Ball you said, but the difference is still very big, our one is stinky!" As he spoke, Zhang Xiaohu had already taken the strange thing from King Peter's hand, opened the package outside, revealing the golden object inside, and the strong stench immediately wafted out.
The old man didn't check for a while, and was so smoked by the stench that he almost fainted, but fortunately, the villagers around him supported him in time. The old man covered his mouth and nose, and as soon as his eyes saw the object, he immediately shone and exclaimed, "Dragon Ball! It's Dragon Ball! He took the object from Zhang Xiaohu's hand, looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "This is not the original dragon ball in our village, this one is obviously bigger and more complete." ”
When Zhang Xiaohu heard that this object was indeed a dragon ball, he immediately rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said: "Grandpa, since this is not your original dragon ball, then I will make the decision and give you this new dragon ball!" ”
Before the white-haired old man could react, King Peter stopped and hurriedly shouted, "Why are you in charge!" It's mine! ”
Zhao Zixuan, who was standing on the side, grabbed him and asked, "Hey! Ay! I say! When did this become yours. You have to figure it out, it was Lao Zhang who killed the giant python desperately, and I took it out with great effort, if this is also the two of us, what did you do, you are quite old and don't want to nod your face! After speaking, he glanced at the white-haired old man with his spare eyes, these words were clearly addressed to King Peter, but in fact they were also addressed to the people of Nanmu Village, who did not pay anything, and wanted to take this dragon ball for nothing, it was simply a pipe dream.
The old man also heard Zhao Zixuan's voice, Ma showed a contemplative expression, and said: "A few of you, please sit down with me, just now I wronged a few people, I want to represent Nanmu Village, solemnly compensate a few people!" ”
