Chapter 141: August Flying Snow (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"Hey......" Lin Lao sighed, a little lost and helpless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Huang Banxian has a high prestige in the village, and the villagers will come to ask him about groundbreaking, funerals, and marriages."
Gu Qiubai frowned: "So Lin Lao is worried that this Huang Banxian is encouraging the villagers to target you because of Xiaolian's matter?" ”
Listening to the conversation between Huang Banxian and Lin Lao just now, the issue involved was Xiaolian's stay or stay.
It's just that I don't know what this Huang Banxian wants Xiaolian to do?
Of course, Gu Qiubai didn't believe the excuse Huang Banxian said, obviously he had another purpose.
Lin Lao showed a hint of palpitations: "Not only that, five years ago, a family in the village was also warned by Huang Banxian, and that family didn't care at first, and even cursed Huang Banxian, but it didn't take long for the whole family to die one after another...... Moreover, several villagers in the surrounding area fell seriously ill, and the old man was worried that he would also suffer this fate......
Lin Lao sighed: "The old man is not worried about himself, anyway, he has an old bone, and he doesn't have many days to live, I'm worried about Xiaolian...... She's still young, and if she suffers this fate, how can I be right about her. ”
As he spoke, he looked sad and wiped his tears.
"Since Lin Lao is worried that things will come true, why did he refuse this Huang Banxian's proposal?" Gu Qiubai frowned.
"It's hard to say, little brother, don't ask......" Lin Lao sighed.
Seeing that Lin Lao didn't want to mention this matter, Gu Qiubai didn't ask anymore.
He thought about it for a while and changed the subject: "Just now Lin Lao said that it was difficult for me to go out alone, why is this?" ”
"Little brother may not know that if you want to get out of our Zhushan Village, there are only two roads, the mountain road and the water road, both of which are very dangerous."
"There is a hundred-foot waterfall on the waterway, which can only be entered but not exited, and all around the mountain road are wild beasts, and even monsters, which are even more dangerous, and there is no way to get out by one person."
"The little brother can enter our Zhushan Village safely, it is a great blessing."
Gu Qiubai sat on the side and listened quietly, this was really a bit troublesome.
"Then how do the people in the village go out normally, and are they stuck in the village all the time to be self-sufficient?"
"It's true that people in the village rarely go out, after all, it is too dangerous to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to get to the market." Lin Lao spoke, "However, the people in the village still go to a meeting every six months, and exchange the animal skins they hunted and the medicinal herbs they collect for some fine iron, green salt, silk and so on. ”
"It's just three months before the next rally, if the little brother is not in a hurry, you can stay here for a while and go out with the team." After a pause, Lin Lao continued to speak, "Little brother is also weak now, so he is just taking advantage of this time to recover." ”
Trimester......
Gu Qiubai frowned, no matter what, three months is not a long time for him.
Just take advantage of this time to recover your body, maybe you can use a trace of spiritual power at that time, then it will be safer to return to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.
At that time, whether it is to get rid of the kitten or Lu Lingshuang to help him hunt a foundation building period demon beast, he will have a chance to get rid of the oppression of the soul chasing nail.
Gu Qiubai nodded and said, "I don't know if this will be too troublesome for Lin Lao." ”
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, although the little brother stays, although the old man's family is poor, but one more meal can still be provided." Lin Lao hurriedly waved his hand.
"Naturally, I won't eat and drink in vain, and when my body recovers, I will help Lin Lao hunt some wild beasts, and I will repay the food money." Gu Qiubai smiled.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Lao left the hut.
Gu Qiubai exhaled and looked at the girl sitting not far from him.
Wearing a patched outfit and a pair of torn shoes, showing a few tiny toes.
The face is vegetable, and the face is full of dust, but it still looks pink, especially these eyes, which are sparkling, like stars in the night.
She lowered her head and carefully sorted out the housework, very capable, which made people feel pity.
Gu Qiubai's eyes flashed, what was so special about the girl in front of her, why was this Huang Banxian interested in her?
"According to Fang Cai Lin Lao's words, the death of the villagers that happened five years ago is probably not accidental, maybe it was Huang Banxian who was making trouble behind his back." Gu Qiubai frowned.
If that's the case, things are a bit of a problem.
Huang Banxian was able to kill the villagers who resisted him silently, obviously mastering some special means.
"Now I can't use my spiritual power, but I can't see the depth of this yellow half-immortal." Gu Qiubai pondered secretly.
He rejected Huang Banxian just now, and it is estimated that Huang Banxian also has a grudge, and he has to beware of what he is doing.
"What an eventful time." Gu Qiubai sighed.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingtian escaped and got involved in a mundane trouble.
Looking at the petite body in front of him, Gu Qiubai couldn't help but secretly sigh.
Perhaps everyone's fate has long been predestined, some people are born rich, and some people are born poor.
It's really hard to have the word fair in this world.
Letting go of distracting thoughts, Gu Qiubai meditated cross-legged and began to slowly recover his body.
Although spiritual power cannot be invoked, in "Killing Immortals", the method of self-cultivation can still be used.
Halfway through, Gu Qiubai built a simple small bed with mud and firewood, and laid a layer of straw.
Although Lin Lao tried every means to refuse, he was still rejected by Gu Qiubai.
After all, this Lin is old, and he can't occupy the magpie's nest.
Although his body is weak now, he has a good foundation, and with the help of "Killing Immortals", it is not a problem to recover.
I ate some small fish porridge for dinner, and added a little sauerkraut, which barely filled my stomach.
Lying on the bed, the autumn rain was intermittent, and everything was silent, only the sound of ticking rain came from the eaves.
Gu Qiubai sighed in his heart, after more than two years of non-stop cultivation, he almost forgot what life was like.
After a night without words, Gu Qiubai got up early.
Today seems to be the day of the sacrifice in Zhushan Village, and Lin Lao and the others also got up early and were busy preparing the items for the sacrifice.
It's nothing more than some incense sticks and all kinds of fish and meat.
The presiding officer of the sacrifice to the heavens is Huang Banxian, this god stick has already made a threat yesterday, and I don't know what trouble the grandfather and grandson will encounter today.
Huang Banxian has been able to nourish his life so far, and naturally it is indispensable to the credit of these villagers.
Gu Qiubai didn't want to join in the fun, so he stayed in the house and continued to meditate and cultivate.
The autumn wind blew and creaked the door of the house.
Gu Qiubai opened his eyes a little helplessly, it seemed that this door had to be repaired.
Walking to the door, Gu Qiubai stopped, and a red candle wrapped in a paper bag appeared in front of him.
"Hey, it seems that Lin Lao is really restless, and he even forgot to take the red candle used to worship the sky."
Gu Qiubai picked up the red candle and walked out of the house.
If Huang Banxian sees that Lin Lao didn't bring sacrificial items, he may have to make a fuss again.
Gu Qiubai could only go in person.
The cold wind outside the house made his face hurt, and after walking forward for a distance, Gu Qiubai stopped.
He raised his head, looked at the somewhat gray sky, and frowned slightly.
Small white dots slowly descend from the sky, from far to near, slowly growing larger.
Gradually, it became denser and denser, as if covering the whole world.
Gu Qiubai stretched out his hand, and a chill couldn't help but come from his fingertips.
It's snowing!
