Chapter 199
Inside the house, the old man and the little girl looked at each other.
The old man and the little girl were familiar with the other hunters, but the voice was so unfamiliar.
"What for?" The old man replied with a frown.
"People from outside the mountain, I want to ask about something." Fang Lin said calmly.
As soon as the old man heard that it was someone from outside the mountain, he immediately became more vigilant, and glanced at the little girl, who understood what his grandfather meant, and immediately handed over a firewood knife lightly.
The old man took the knife in his hand, walked behind the door, and looked out through the crack in the wooden door.
However, the crack in the door was slightly short, so the old man could only see that there seemed to be only one person standing outside, and he was covered in mud and water.
Seeing that there was only one person, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't open the door easily, after all, he didn't know what the person outside was going to do, what if he wanted to plot something wrong?
"What do you want to ask? Just talk through the door. The old man didn't want to open the door, so he responded.
Fang Lin was a little helpless, it seemed that the people in this room were really vigilant.
"I would like to ask where this is? In which country is it located? Fang Lin asked directly, he didn't even know where he was now, and now he naturally wanted to ask the local people to inquire clearly, and then make a plan.
When the old man heard this, his face was also a little strange and said: "This is Zilu Mountain, close to the border of Meng, and it is not a country. ”
When Fang Lin heard that this was the border of the Meng Kingdom, he knew it in his heart, since it was close to the Meng Kingdom, then if he went to the northwest, he would be able to go to the Extreme North Ice Field, and when he arrived at the Far North Ice Field, he could find the people of the Heaven Devouring Temple, and everything would be easy to do at that time.
"Thank you." Fang Lin thanked him, and was about to turn around and leave, looking down at his body, his face full of wry smiles.
The old man in the room originally saw that Fang Lin had turned around to leave, but he turned around again, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"Uncle, I don't know if you can lend me a clean shirt, I'm willing to exchange things." Fang Lin said out loud, his clothes were so dirty, but there were no clothes in the Nine Palaces that could be changed, which was really embarrassing.
In the past, Fang Lin would prepare two sets of clothes to change in the Nine Palaces Bag, but now with this kind of cultivation, as long as the breath is slightly running, the clothes can become spotless, and there is no need to change them at all.
It's just that Fang Lin's realm is sealed now, just like ordinary people, he can't do it at all.
Even if you want to take it off and wash it, you still have to have a suit, why don't you let yourself run around naked?
The old man was skeptical, hesitated for a while before slowly opening the door a crack, Fang Lin was about to clasp his fists and salute, but saw that the old man in the room screamed as if he had seen a ghost, and slammed the door shut again, startling Fang Lin.
Fang Lin touched his face, although it was a little dirty, there shouldn't be anything scary, how could this old man be scared like that?
The old man was really frightened, and after slamming the door shut, both legs were weak, and he was trembling and could barely stand.
When her granddaughter Xiao Ping'an saw her grandfather like this, she suddenly became a little anxious and hurriedly walked over.
The old man's eyes widened, and he said to Xiao Ping'an in a trembling voice: "Granddaughter, it's haunted." ”
As soon as the three words haunted came out, the old man regretted it, and he couldn't wait to smoke his two big mouths, this is his granddaughter, what if she was scared? If you are scared, then you have to die of distress.
Xiao Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale.
The old man couldn't see his granddaughter like this, and he was no longer afraid for a while, and secretly thought in his heart: "Damn, no matter if it's a person or a ghost outside, anyway, if you want to harm my granddaughter, then I will fight with you with my life!" ”
Thinking of this, the old man hid Xiao Ping'an in the inner room, and then opened the door with a firewood knife.
"I'll hack you to death!" Without saying anything, the old man slashed directly towards Fang Lin.
Don't look at this old man, he is quite old, but this body bone is really enough, this knife came quickly and ruthlessly, if it is an ordinary person who has not cultivated, I am afraid that he will not have time to react at all, and he will be beheaded and bloody.
Fang Lin moved under his feet, and his body retreated two or three steps backwards, and the old man's knife missed, because he used too much force, he didn't stand firm all of a sudden, and his body stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground.
"Old man, I have no grievances with you, and I kindly buried you, but you want to turn into a ghost to harm the old man, and I don't believe that you, a lonely ghost, can turn the sky upside down?" As the old man spoke, he slashed at Fang Lin with another knife.
Fang Lin easily dodged again, and at the same time understood the old man's words, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that he was buried in the soil, and he also erected a nameless stone tablet, and the result was that this old man did it.
It is estimated that at this moment, this old man regards himself as a demon transformed after death, which is why he has such a big reaction.
"Uncle, I'm a good person." Fang Lin hurriedly said, he can't directly knock this old man down with a fist, even if he has no cultivation, but the strength of this body is still there, after this punch, the old man is afraid that he will completely fall apart.
As soon as the old man heard this, he saw that there was indeed a shadow behind Fang Lin, and then he came to his senses.
"So you're not dead?" The old man looked at Fang Lin's face and said with a shocked expression.
Fang Lin nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't die in the first place, but I don't know who buried me in the ground, and I almost suffocated to death." ”
The old man's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only scratch his head, and then pinned the sharp wood knife to his waist at a loss.
"What, the old man was offended a lot just now, he was offended, don't be angry, little brother." The old man couldn't read a few words, and he couldn't say any nice words of reparation, just these four words offended, or he remembered when he went to the town to listen to others when he was young.
Fang Lin waved his hand: "It's okay, I just hope to be able to change clean clothes with my father-in-law." ”
The old man hurriedly took Fang Lin into the house, and the little Ping'an probe looked at Fang Lin with a probe in his head, and was also startled when he saw that Fang Lin was actually the dead man from yesterday.
However, the little girl was bolder than her grandfather, and leaned over and poked Fang Lin.
"Don't mess around!" The old man glared at Xiao Ping'an, afraid that his granddaughter would make Fang Lin unhappy.
Although he knew that Fang Lin was not a ghost but a living person, the old man was still a little vigilant in his heart, after all, he didn't know whether the other party was a good person or an evil person.
Fang Lin didn't care, and smiled at the little girl, who also smiled sweetly at Fang Lin, looking very well-behaved.
Fang Lin cleaned it in the old man's house and changed into a set of clothes, although it was a little old, Fang Lin didn't care, just dressed cleanly.
"It's a lot of trouble, and I'm leaving." Fang Lin left a piece of jade for the old man, and then left the wooden house and went straight down the mountain.
After Fang Lin left, the life of the grandfather and grandson was still peaceful, and the jade left by Fang Lin was an extraordinary thing, which could be auspicious and avoid evil, not to mention, but also warm up the body, making people disease-free and painless.
It is precisely because of this piece of jade that the old man and Xiao Ping'an have never had any illnesses again, and even the old man's left leg, which was originally slightly lame, is not even lame after half a year.
The old man also took advantage of his good health to take Xiao Ping'an down the mountain and went to several nearby towns to see the world.
Of course, these things had nothing to do with Fang Lin, and the piece of jade left behind could be regarded as Fang Lin's kindness.
Because of the loss of cultivation, Fang Lin could not fly in the sky, so he could only go to the extreme north on foot, although it was very troublesome, but Fang Lin had no way, he couldn't contact the people of the Heaven Swallowing Temple, so he could only go back to the Heaven Swallowing Temple by himself.
Fortunately, although his cultivation was sealed, his physique was still there, and Fang Lin basically didn't need to rest, and he could travel day and night.
After walking for more than ten days, Fang Lin stopped on a plain, because on this plain, there was a layer of gray mist that did not disperse.
Seeing this layer of gray mist, Fang Lin's eyes suddenly became gloomy, obviously the monsters that appeared here before, and this gray mist would be left.
For this gray mist that could take people's lives, even if Fang Lin had a true dragon immortal body, he didn't dare to enter rashly at this moment.
Taking out a poison pill from the Nine Palace Sac, Fang Lin took a deep breath before breaking into the gray mist.
As soon as he entered this gray mist, Fang Lin immediately felt that something was trying to burrow into his body, especially on his limbs, there was a faint tingling sensation.
Fang Lin stood in place for a while, carefully feeling what kind of impact this gray mist would bring to him.
Outside the gray mist, there was a group of several people hiding behind a hill, looking at Fang Lin in the gray mist with a puzzled look.
"Is this guy stupid? Why did you run into that murderous fog yourself? The only woman among them frowned.
"Looking at this person's appearance, it seems that he has taken some pill before." The oldest man spoke.
"This murderous fog is extremely powerful, this kid is dressed in tatters, what good elixir can he have? It is estimated that it will not do much. The young woman pouted, looking disdainful.
The old man with a big mole on his face glared at the woman: "Judging people by their appearance is the most stupid!" ”
The beautiful young woman didn't say anything, but naturally she didn't care about it in her heart.
"Master, this murderous fog is so powerful, why do I have to touch the moldy head?" A middle-aged man said in a muffled voice.
The old man looked back at his apprentices, and felt quite emotional in his heart.
Among these five disciples, the most talented is the woman, but she is also the one with the worst temperament, which makes the old man have a headache.
The other four are all average, but they are better at being down-to-earth and diligent, which can be regarded as a little gratifying to the old man.
The old man is an alchemist, not an alchemist from the Dandao family, but an alchemist who broke away from the Dan League, and has the realm of a Wuding alchemist.
It was only because of a series of previous changes in the Dan League that the old man chose to leave the Dan League in frustration, returned to his homeland, and accepted these five apprentices.
After the East Pole Heavenly King returned to take charge of the Dan League, he also approached the old man several times, hoping that he could return to the Dan League, but the old man still didn't believe it in his heart, so he never returned to the Dan League.
This time, because of the presence of this murderous fog nearby, the old man brought five disciples over to investigate, hoping to find a way to restrain the murderous fog and prevent more people from suffering.
"Master, that man has been standing inside for half an hour, and he is not dead." The youngest disciple said in surprise.
There was also a look of surprise in the old man's eyes, the reason why this murderous fog is called a murderous fog is because anyone who is in this gray fog will lose his life in a moment or three, even if he is a martial artist with advanced cultivation, few people can survive the time of a cup of tea.
"Could it be that the pill he took just now does have the effect of restraining the murderous mist?" There was a bit of thought in the old man's eyes.
"In that case, then let's just arrest this guy and ask him." The young woman said with a sneer.
The other four all glanced at the woman with some disgust, and the old man also looked gloomy, but he didn't say anything.
"Look again." The old man didn't take any action, even as a Dan Dao master, there was no good way to deal with this murderous fog, even if he went in and arrested people according to what the woman said, it was unlikely at the moment.
After standing in place for a long time, Fang Lin opened his eyes, and then retreated from the gray mist.
"The poison pill can resist for a while, but when the medicinal power is exhausted, it can't continue to stay inside." Fang Lin said secretly, although it was okay to stay in that gray fog for most of the hour, it also made Fang Lin truly feel the horror of this gray mist.
This is an extremely strange gray mist, as long as you are in it, you will be robbed of the essence of flesh and blood by the gray mist, sucking away vitality, even a person with a strong body like Fang Lin cannot stop the pervasive penetration of the gray mist.
If there is cultivation in the body, maybe you can also rely on cultivation to resist the invasion of the gray mist, but at the moment, Lin Xiuwei is sealed, so he can only rely on the power of the pill to deal with the gray mist.
It's just that in the gray mist, the power of the pill is consumed at a much faster rate than usual, and the effect of a poison pill could have lasted for about a day, but in that gray mist, at most, it will be exhausted after holding on for an hour.
Although Fang Lin still had some poison pills on his body, who knew how far this gray mist extended, if Fang Lin wanted to return to the Heaven Swallowing Palace, he had to cross this plain, if he took a long detour to avoid this gray mist, he would not be able to go back to the Heaven Swallowing Temple even if he walked for a year.
Moreover, Fang Lin still had a trace of worry in his heart, that is, would this gray mist gradually adapt to the Poison Pill, so that the effect of the Poison Pill would become weaker and weaker?
This is something that is very likely to happen, for example, if a martial artist often takes the same elixir, then in the long run, this elixir will no longer have any effect on the martial artist.
"It seems that you have to prepare an elixir that is more potent than the Poison Pill." Fang Lin looked at the gray mist not far away, and said secretly in his heart.
At this moment, the old man had already walked over with five apprentices, and Fang Lin turned to look at the group of six people with no expression on his face.
"Hey, what kind of pill did you just take? Take it out and show us. Without waiting for the old man to speak, the young woman stretched out her hand directly to Fang Lin and said, her tone was irresistible.
