Chapter 184: Xuanling Village
Han Qianyu and the others found an inn and rested for one night. After dawn, Han Qianyu and Song Tao's three brothers and sisters said goodbye, and then set off with Jiang Mengrou to Xuemian Mountain.
Xuemian Mountain is two hundred miles away from Mochizuki Village, Han Qianyu and the two rode horses, ran all the way, and finally arrived at a small village at the foot of Xuemian Mountain after more than an hour.
The two got off the horse, and Han Qianyu noticed that Jiang Mengrou was not in a very good mood along the way, and finally couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"
"After I help you get the Ice Darkiron Stone, I'm going back to the sect. Jiang Mengrou replied. Speaking of this, Jiang Meng's soft eyes seemed to have a streamer,
"So you're worried about this. Han Qianyu smiled bitterly.
"Who's worried about this. Jiang Mengrou glanced at Han Qianyu and explained, "I'm just worried that this journey didn't help you much, and I'm just a little disappointed." ”
"Miss Jiang, you are too careful. Han Qianyu looked at Jiang Mengrou seriously, her eyes trembled slightly, and a warm meaning gradually appeared on her delicate face, and she seemed to smile and said, "If there is no Jiang girl, I am not sure that I can pick those five holy fruits, let alone lure the phantom beast, and even fight with the puppet beast." You are my belief and my motivation. ”
After hearing Han Qianyu's words, Jiang Mengrou was completely stunned, and only looked at Han Qianyu for a long time, with a look of doubt in her eyes, "Really?"
Han Qianyu didn't think about it, nodded directly, and said, "Really." ”
Although Han Qianyu replied like this, Jiang Mengrou was not happy because of his seemingly perfunctory answer, but asked casually, "Han Qianyu, in your mind, what am I?
"Friends. Han Qianyu blurted out, her expression revealing firmness.
"Friend, you are a Jiang girl, do you really regard me as a friend?" Jiang Mengrou looked at Han Qianyu with soft eyes, very serious.
Han Qianyu was silent. The relationship between him and Jiang Mengrou, he himself can't tell, although the two have been together for almost a month and are inseparable, but in his heart he feels that Jiang Mengrou is far away from him, and he can't reach out of his reach.
"Forget it, I'm just overthinking, don't think about it that way, it's better for you and me to keep boundaries, if Master knows that I am staying with a strange man, he will definitely not let me go, and even threaten you. Jiang Mengrou said bitterly.
"Mengrou!" Han Qianyu stared at Jiang Mengrou's pretty face, and said seriously, "In my heart, since the day you saved me in the Dementor Forest, I have regarded you as an indispensable part of my life, what rules, what difficulties and obstacles, I am not afraid, I care about you, I have always been." ”
Jiang Mengrou's heart seemed to melt at this moment. What Han Qianyu said didn't seem to be true, every time she encountered danger, Han Qianyu would always risk her life to save her as soon as possible, there was no doubt about it, but thinking of the scene in Danqing Chi'an, her heart was shaken again, and she asked, "Is this the same for other women?"
Han Qianyu didn't know what to say, he didn't understand what the meaning of Jiang Mengrou's words was.
"Why can you worry about your life for the sake of Yue Ning Xiang in Danqing Pool?" Jiang Mengrou asked.
Han Qianyu suddenly felt helpless, it turned out that Jiang Mengrou had been thinking about this matter, in order to maintain his previous words, he had to say, "That's my instinctive reaction, Miss Yue is on an adventure with us, of course I can't see her lose her life." If it were you, I would have rushed to save it, but I was just one step ahead. ”
Jiang Mengrou relieved the doubts in her heart and said, "I will believe you once, but if you talk to me again and deceive my feelings, I will kill you like in Youning Valley, and I will not be soft." ”
"Good. It's good that Miss Jiang isn't angry anymore. Han Qianyu smiled bitterly.
"Let's go to the village to find out the situation of Xuemian Mountain, and make preparations early. Han Qianyu said.
"Good. Jiang Mengrou nodded.
There is a big plaque at the entrance of the village, on which are written the three big characters of 'Xuanling Village'.
Han Qianyu couldn't help but exclaim: "What an arrogant name." ”
Because the name of this village corresponds to the Xuanling Realm in the three major realms, the second realm in the Three Spiritual Realms, dare to name the village after this, this village must have an intriguing story.
"Could it be that there is a Xuanling Realm powerhouse in the village?" Han Qianyu took a deep breath, not daring to think about it.
Such a strong person, turning can be a cloud, covering can be a rain, looking at the entire imperial capital, and even the entire Aoyun Prefecture, I am afraid it is difficult to find one.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mengrou didn't understand why Han Qianyu stopped.
Han Qianyu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's continue to enter the village." ”
After saying that, the two entered the village together.
The village is not big, there are only dozens of families, but the strange thing is that the houses of these dozens of families are still quite scattered, each two houses are separated by a few zhang distance, and what is even more strange is that these dozens of houses are all simple and dilapidated.
"This kind of village still dares to call itself Xuanling Village, and he is really not afraid of insulting this realm. ”
Suddenly, Han Qianyu's good impression of this village was swept away. Xuanling Realm, that is a realm that he never dared to imagine.
Just when Han Qianyu and Jiang Mengrou were deeply curious about everything in the village, the villagers in the village suddenly swarmed out and ran towards the outside of the village.
There is no fence in the village, just a small wooden gate is roughly erected, and it is still in tatters, which has always been a puzzle for Han Qianyu.
Looking at the villagers who were already flustered and even irrational, Han Qian took the opportunity to stop a middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, what happened, why are you all so scared?"
The middle-aged man ignored Han Qianyu, but pushed him away, and said irritably, "Hurry up, it's too late, but you're going to lose your life." ”
Seeing this person so rude, Han Qianyu was not very happy, but seeing that everyone was busy running for their lives, Han Qianyu didn't think too much, and stopped a kind-faced woman and asked, "Auntie, what happened, what are you afraid of?"
The woman glanced at Han Qianyu's outfit and said in a friendly manner, "Shaoxia, it's a matter of life, let's explain it when you leave the village." ”
Even asking the two of them didn't know, Han Qianyu could only follow Jiang Mengrou to escape with the crowd first.
Boom! Boom!
At this time, the white snow-capped mountains behind the village were shaking, so that the village also vibrated with it, and some houses with unstable foundations collapsed directly with the continuous vibration.
Wow~~
After a long time, Han Qianyu and Jiang Mengrou finally followed the villagers to an open place outside the village.
Han Qianyu was puzzled, and continued to ask the villagers, "Everyone, what happened just now, and what are you afraid of?"
An old man walked out of the villagers, looked at Han Qianyu and Jiang Mengrou, and asked, "Are you two outsiders?"
Han Qianyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Lao Yu is the village chief of this Xuanling Village, if the young man has something, just ask. ”
Han Qianyu nodded, this village chief is also a straightforward person, which suits his appetite. Han Qianyu then opened his mouth and asked, "Village Chief, what's the matter with Fang Cai's shock?"
The village chief replied, "It's the white-armored bear in the Snow Cotton Mountain that is angry. ”
"White-armored bear?" Han Qianyu was a little puzzled.
"The white-armored bear is a monster beast of Snow Cotton Mountain, and when it is angry, it will hit the center of the mountain with its two fists, thus causing earthquakes. Because of its snow-white body and hard flesh like nails, it got its name. The village chief explained earnestly.
Han Qianyu didn't seem to understand, but he still had doubts, so he asked, "Then what is this mountain heart?"
"Like the human body, the heart of the mountain is the heart of the Snow Cotton Mountain, which not only maintains the stability of the Snow Cotton Mountain, but also maintains the stability of Xuanling Village. The village chief was patient and continued to explain.
"Then why is this white-armored bear angry?" asked Han Qianyu.
"Alas~" The village chief sighed long and replied, "The white-armored bear eats fish, because the environment in the mountain is harsh, there are no creatures to survive, if it doesn't eat fish for a long time, it will be angry and hammer the heart of the mountain." ”
"The environment outside the village is very good, there are many rivers and lakes, why don't you send fish to the white-armored bear up the mountain?
"How dare you send fish?" someone suddenly sneered, and there was a sense of trepidation in the laughter.
"Don't hide it, this young man, your idea is good, the villagers have indeed tried to send fish to the white-armored bear, but its personality is hot and cold, once it is angry, it will kill people. The village chief said helplessly.
"Last time, the sea gave it fish, but it was directly beaten into meat sauce by that beast, and the bones were not ......cold," someone suddenly choked up.
"The sea is a good baby...... It's a pity, it's a pity......" an old man sobbed.
"Village Chief, who is the sea?" Han Qianyu said curiously.
"The sea is the young man in the village, he loves the village deeply, for the peace of the village, he is willing to go up the mountain to give fish to the white-armored bear, day after day, year after year, who knows...... Who knew that one day he suddenly made meat sauce for the white bear, and the villagers still didn't dare to collect his body. The village chief wiped away a handful of tears.
"Since the village is so dangerous, why don't you move out of the village?
"Move out of the village, where did you put the villagers, and where did you put our ancestors in Xuanling Village?"
At this time, the crowd was talking, and many people began to reprimand Han Qianyu.
"Everyone is angry, Han Qianyu is also thinking about everyone's safety, I hope you don't misunderstand him. Jiang Mengrou hurriedly came forward to persuade her.
The village chief waved his hands to signal, and the villagers quieted down and stopped making noise.
The village chief said with tears in his eyes, "There is a reason why the villagers do not leave the village, hundreds of years ago, two Xuanling Realm martial cultivators fought in Xuemian Mountain, and both of them were good at ice and ice martial arts, so they also caused an ice and snow environment to Xuemian Mountain, and the four seasons were like winter. Since then, the villagers have worshipped Mt. Sepok as a deity and changed the name of the village to Xuanling Village. The ancestors set up the ancestral teachings, Xuanling Village is the pride of the whole village, even if we die, we can't abandon this land that has been contaminated with the breath of saints. ”
