Chapter 2 The Outer Villages
A month later, Zuo Xiaoyou left Shuncheonfu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past month, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and made the proprietress experience an unprecedented taste of happiness, until yesterday, the proprietress said from the bottom of her heart: "Even if I die now, my life is worth it." ”
Then the next day, Zuo Xiaoyou left a note: "I'll go find the Demon King, wait for me to come back." Then it was gone.
The proprietress cried for a long time, then put away the gentleness and virtue of the past month, and opened the business again in the image of a female man, which was no different from before.
……
Deep in the mountains and old forests, where people are sparsely populated, is the place where demons hide. Zuo Xiaoyou has been a demon hunter for more than a hundred years, and he knows this very well. In addition, he also knows the hiding place of the demon king.
Thousands of miles away from the southwest of Shuntianfu, there is a small village called Yongning Village, the small village does not exist for a long time, about 20 years ago, the first batch of more than a dozen people stayed here to build a village, the village gradually became lively, to this day, the village has a population of more than 100 people. On the surface, it looks like an isolated paradise, but Zuo Xiaoyou knows very well that the villagers here are all demons.
Speaking of which, the demon has a unique ability, that is, like the 'painted skin' monster, it can make the skin of a human being, and after being put on the body, the appearance is exactly the same as that of a human being, and even the breath can be concealed, except for the extremely clever heavenly masters, most of the heavenly masters cannot confirm their true faces.
Coincidentally, Zuo Xiaoyou is one of the extremely clever Heavenly Masters, among the Demon Hunting Heavenly Masters, there are known ten realms, from low to high, they are one Qian Heavenly Master, two Qian Heavenly Master, and three Qian Heavenly Master...... All the way to the highest ten-money Heavenly Master. As the highest-level ten-money heavenly master, there are only three in the whole world, and their skills can be called thorough, and only adult demon kings can match them.
Zuo Xiaoyou is currently an eight-money heavenly master, and among the heavenly masters, he is already the top building of the pyramid, and he is also a master of the top 100 in the world. This is also one of the confidence for him to go to the demon king.
As for the other confidence, although his attention to demons has decreased over the years, he also understands the general situation of the demon clan. At present, there is a civil strife in the demon clan, and the demon king advocates hiding from the world and not fighting with people, but there are many murderous demons who think that this is too weak, and the demon should take the initiative to attack and fight with people again. As long as the human race is defeated, the demon race can once again reign on the earth and become the lord of the earth.
At present, the main peace faction headed by the demon king and the main battle faction led by many powerful demons can't convince anyone, and there has been a constant battle in the open and secret over the years, and the left and the right want to take the opportunity of the civil strife of the demon clan to see if they can fish in troubled waters and cut a piece of meat from the demon king?
Of course, this is not easy, and Zuo Xiaoyou is ready for everything. The first is to come to Yongning Village, because Yongning Village is the most secret entrance and exit from the Demon King's location, as long as you find Yongning Village, you want to enter the territory of the Demon Clan, and the plan to plan the Demon King has completed the first step.
After more than a month of trekking, Zuo Xiaoyou finally came to Yongning Village.
Yongning Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is very beautiful, between the mountains and rivers, the relatively simple wooden houses have become the standard configuration of the villagers here, there are two wells in the village, which is the main place for the villagers to take water for daily life.
It was noon, and the left and right rode horses, and entered the village in the dust.
It has been a long time since outsiders have been in the village, especially outsiders on horseback, which is even rarer. The villagers who were picking mulberry and doing laundry in the village saw Zuo Xiaoyou and ran over to watch curiously.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at these seemingly simple villagers, there was no sadness or joy on his face, but a pair of eyes saw through the epidermis of the villagers, and saw the body of the demon hidden in the epidermis.
Speaking of which, the demons in this world are still quite cute, except for those giant blood demons who love to eat people. The giant blood demon can be described as "fierce and vicious", and "big and fierce" is its outstanding feature. The giant demon has a huge body and sharp claws, and from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the blood demon is also ferocious, it is the main natural enemy of the human race, and it is also the demon race that the heavenly master is most unwilling to face.
And the demons in Yongning Village are all relatively mild demons, not big in size, and only eat vegetarians, not meat. This is one of the reasons why they have been able to live peacefully in the Terran territory for more than 20 years.
Speaking of which, Zuo Xiaoyou is one of the witnesses of Yongning Village from scratch, there was a very powerful Heavenly Master and the demon woman who had a relationship, and then combined together, and even gave birth to an egg......
With the help of this celestial master, a group of demons who don't like to fight and eat vegetarians changed their appearance, built Yongning Village as human beings, and then settled down here. However, more than 20 years have passed, although there are many "people" here, the living conditions are still relatively difficult, although there are wooden houses to settle in, but they sleep on hardwood boards, not even bedding, and can only sleep in clothes at night. Fortunately, Yongning Village is a basin terrain, and even in winter, it will not be very cold, otherwise it will not be able to survive at all.
Just when Zuo Xiaoyou was looking at the village, a young man at the foot of the slope came on foot with some difficulty but quickly walked, with a thick smile on his face, and shouted from afar: "The guest officer has come from afar, but he wants to stay?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at this handsome-looking young man, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: it was actually a human!
Interesting.
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile: "Is there an inn here?" ”
"My family runs an inn." The young man's smile became a little more enthusiastic: "Come with me, guest officer!" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, in order to take care of this young man at the foot of the slope, he led the horse on foot, and then talked with the young man for a few words, learned about the development of some small villages in the past ten years, and by the way, also asked about the life experience of some young people at the foot of the slope.
The life experience of this young man at the foot of the slope is quite pitiful, he lost his parents when he was very young, and he depended on his grandmother for his life, relying on the care of the villagers to live until now. As for the reason for the slope? The young man didn't say anything, so Zuo Xiaoyou didn't ask any more, but he confirmed one thing, this young man and the Heavenly Master who helped these monsters build the village back then were father and son.
I see.
No wonder this young man's body is a human, it turns out to be a shemale hybrid. But that 'egg' has grown so big back then, it's really embarrassing.
Soon after, Zuo Xiaoyou entered a wooden inn with very simple decoration. The young man quickly helped him tie the horse to the stake, and then fed the fodder, and then asked Zuo Xiaoyou: "What do the guest officers eat?" ”
"Here are two of your store's signature dishes, a plate of steamed buns." Zuo Xiaoyou sat on a long wooden bench, threw a piece of broken silver to the young man at the foot of the slope, and said, "Help me boil some hot water again, and I will take a bath and change clothes later." ”
"The guest officer can rest assured, the small shop will make the guest officer feel at home." This piece of broken silver weighs at least two or two, and the eyes of the young man at the foot of the slope can't see it, so he hurriedly brought up the tea first and ran to the kitchen to work.
Soon after, a meat dish, a vegetarian dish and a plate of hot steamed buns were served: "The guest officer uses it slowly, and the small one will go and prepare the bath bucket." ”
"Hmm." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and tasted these two side dishes, the taste was average, but the ingredients were very fresh, and they tasted quite refreshing.
After lunch, Zuo Xiaoyou walked into the guest room prepared by the young man at the foot of the slope and bathed and changed clothes.
After a month of driving, my body was somewhat tired, and I felt much refreshed after washing off the dust.
Changed into a white scholar's outfit, finished freshening up, and walked out of the guest room. The young man at the foot of the slope couldn't help but admire when he saw a refreshing left and right: "After the guest officer bathed and changed clothes, he was really handsome and extraordinary." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said, "Is the little brother free?" I want to go around. ”
"It's free, it's free." The young man at the foot of the slope hurriedly stood up and said, "But please let the little one call grandma back to see the store." ”
"As it should be." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, strode out of the inn, untied the reins, and straddled the horse's back.
Soon after, the young man at the foot of the slope brought back a white-haired old lady, "Grandma, you look at the store first, and I'll take the guest officer around." ”
The old lady glanced at Zuo Xiaoyou, her eyes instantly focused on his right chest, and on his right chest, there were eight copper coins hanging neatly and smoothly, which made the old lady's eyes change slightly, and then pretended to be impatient, and waved her hand: "Go quickly, just hand it over to grandma in the store." ”
"Oh, then I'll go." The young man at the foot of the slope walked up to the left and right heels with a shallow foot, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, where do you want to go around?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou withdrew his gaze from the old lady and said calmly: "The woods in the west." ”
"Okay, the guest officer comes with me." The young man at the foot of the slope left the inn with Zuo Xiaoyou and went to the woods on the west side of the village.
When Zuo Xiaoyou's figure disappeared, the old lady let out a long sigh of relief, but showed an anxious look: "Eight Qian Heavenly Master, has he already discovered that the villagers are all demons?" …… Probably not, if I really found out, I would have done it a long time ago. But what does the Eight Qian Heavenly Master want to do here? No, it's better to tell the villagers, don't show your flaws, otherwise you will be in big trouble. ”
……
It's so much fun!
Thinking back to the old lady just now, Zuo Xiaoyou felt very interesting, although the old lady hid it well, he could feel the mana fluctuations of the same Heavenly Master, and the level of this old lady was definitely not low. It's just that when I get older, it seems that my memory has deteriorated, and my mental fluctuations are a little confused, which is a typical early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
A human heavenly grandmother, with a mixed-race grandson born of a shemale union, lives in a remote mountain village with a group of demons disguised as humans. Ordinary people must find it confusing, but he connected many clues before and after, and a clear relationship inheritance map appeared in his mind, allowing him to have a prototype of a new plan.
Soon after, the two came to the woods to the west of the village, which was very quiet, in stark contrast to the lively village. The young man at the foot of the slope pointed to a faintly visible bridge in the grove and said with a smile: "Guest officer, there is a river over there, which is the life river of our Yongning Village, the river water is crystal clear, and there are many swimming fish, do you want to go and see it?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile and said, "There is Brother Lao." ”
"It should be, it should be." The young man at the foot of the slope came to a small river with his left and right, the river is five or six meters wide, and the deepest part should be three or four meters, no wonder a wooden bridge will be built here, if the water does not fall into the river, it will be saved.
Left and right dismounted, let the horse graze and drink by the river, and he stood in the middle of the bridge, looking at the river. Sure enough, as the young man at the foot of the slope said, the river water is very clear, even in the middle of the deepest river, you can see the bottom of the river at a glance, and some fish and shrimp swim leisurely in the river, as if they have never worried that they will be caught by humans.
"What a great place." Breathing in the fresh air and feeling the relatively rich aura in the air, Zuo Xiaoyou sighed: it is a good place to cultivate.
"The guest officer is really discerning." The little brother at the foot of the slope smiled: "Although the little one has never been out in the village since he was a child, the little one thinks that Yongning Village is the most beautiful place in the world, and the villagers are very kind, help each other, have no intrigue, and live comfortably." ”
"Little brother, this idea is not good." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head with a smile and said: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, and if he doesn't go out to wander at a young age, he is sorry for his youth." ”
"That being said." The young man at the foot of the slope looked at his foot of the slope, and there was a hint of bitterness in his smile: "Even if the little one wants to go out, he doesn't know what he can do when he goes out?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the young man's slope, and his eyes had already seen through the reason for the young man's slope: "This is also true, the little brother is inconvenient to walk, and he is asking for hardship when he goes out." ”
"That's what the guest said." The young man at the foot of the slope smiled bitterly.
"But ......," Zuo Xiaoyou said lightly: "It's a good thing to suffer a little when you're young." Looking at the eyes of the young man at the foot of the slope: "The little brother doesn't want to grow old, when he holds his grandson and tells a story, he says, 'Grandpa, I have no prospects, I have never walked out of Yongning Village in my life, I don't know what the outside world is like', right?" ”
As a result of these words, the face of the young man at the foot of the slope kept changing, and he seemed to be deeply touched.
Patting the young man on the shoulder, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said: "But you still have an elderly grandmother to take care of at home, as the so-called parents are not far away, it is not bad that there is no need to stay in the small village." ”
It is you who say it, and you are the one who says it stays. Why did you say everything?
The young man laughed dryly: "What the guest officer said is true. ”
"Alright." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said, "I still want to cross the river to have a look, but my little brother has inconvenient legs, so he doesn't need to accompany me." After a pause, he pointed to the horses by the river and said, "Can the little brother ride the horse?" ”
Although the young man at the foot of the slope wanted to say 'he can ride', he still scratched his head and said the truth embarrassedly: "How can I ride a horse if my small legs and feet are inconvenient." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou chuckled: "The little brother is sincere, then I can rest assured that the little brother will lead the horse back." ”
"Uh......"
Zuo Xiaoyou threw a piece of broken silver to the young man at the foot of the slope and said, "I will go back before dark and help me prepare dinner." ”
After saying that, Zuo Xiaoyou turned around and crossed the river and walked towards the mountains and forests further west.
The young man at the foot of the slope weighed the broken silver in his hand, although it was a little smaller than at noon, it was also nearly two or two. In fact, the broken silver at noon was enough for Zuo Xiaoyou to eat and live for three or five days, and at this time he was given another piece of broken silver, which was obviously a big deal for sale.
"I really met the God of Wealth." The young man at the foot of the slope happily put the broken silver into his arms and led the horse back to the inn, while Zuo Xiaoyou entered the depths of the mountain forest and reached the territory of the demon clan.
