Chapter 8: The Death of Lu Lao
After leaving the village chief's house, Wu Xian quickly ran to the old Lu family's house, and it happened that Lu Lao was at the door, about to go out, and saw Wu Xian running over and hurriedly shouted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Slow down, slow down, I don't know and think you're being chased by a dog."
"This matter is more important than being chased by a dog, Old Lu, come in quickly, I ask you something."
Seeing that Wu Xian didn't look like he was joking, Lu Lao immediately closed the door: "What's the matter, did you find any clues?" ”
calmed down a little, Wu Xian said quickly: "Old Lu, I went to the village chief's house today, but I found a very young and beautiful woman who claimed to be the village chief, and asked me to call her Aunt Hua, what's going on." ”
"Oh, that's it, too, I thought you'd know, so I didn't tell you."
Moving out two chairs, Lu Lao motioned for Wu Xian to sit down and speak.
"The village chief of this village, it's really different, the village chief inherited the bloodline left by his ancestors, and became young forever, this bloodline is passed on to women and not to men, when the bloodline in the body awakens, it will gain far more vitality than others, and at the same time, the appearance will be fixed at the moment when the bloodline awakens."
"That is to say, the beautiful woman I saw is the village chief of this Qingtian Village, and she is still an old monster with an eternal face, well, I am still too young."
"Alas, you can't say that, after all, the village chief has dedicated so much to the village, be careful, don't mention this in front of other villagers, by the way, how did you check." Lu Lao asked.
Wu Xian's originally tense body instantly slumped on the chair: "Don't mention it, I originally had an idea, but today it was confirmed that this idea was wrong, and now I don't know what to do." ”
Lu Lao knocked on his shoulder, stood up and twisted his waist: "Wu Xian, don't be discouraged, after all, this matter reveals a lot of strange things, after you came here to inquire yesterday, I looked up the information of the year."
Don't be surprised, after all, I am a teacher, and the previous village chief also left me a lot of books, cough cough, after reading a lot of books, I suddenly found that the reason why this village has been closed for generations is not that the villagers do not take the initiative to go out, but for other reasons. ”
Hearing the news of Lu Lao, Wu Xian instantly came to his senses, and looked at Lu Lao with a blank eye: "No, I heard the village chief say that she also wanted to take the villagers out of this closed place, but in the end she failed, but what she meant was that the villagers were unwilling to go out." ”
"Oh? That's what the village chief said, but I found out in the classics that this village was originally established to seal something, and the people who set up the seal left their descendants to protect the seal from being broken by outsiders for generations.
It's just that the classic is very old, and it has been damaged by man, and the most important part has been lost on it, and I can only rely on the legends and stories I have heard over the years to make associations, and I have a big guess. ”
"What speculation?" Wu Xian had already moved a chair and leaned in front of Lu Lao at this time.
"Because of the existence of this seal, the villagers cannot go out, and at the same time, within this range, only ordinary people can survive, and other non-humans cannot enter at all.
However, since the death of the villagers for no reason has happened, it means that the seal is invalid, or that the seal has been weakened, otherwise it is not a matter of a few deaths, and the entire village will die. ”
Wu Xian was frightened by this speculation: "Old Lu, are you sure this is true, if it is true, then this is not something we can find out." ”
"I'm just guessing, but according to the course of events, maybe then we'll be faced with omnipotent ghosts, and that's when the real horror will be."
Perhaps frightened by his own speculation, Lu Lao's face was sweating, his face became pale, and the whole person was about to fall crookedly.
"Old Lu, are you okay?" Wu Xian, who was sitting next to him, saw this moment: "Let's go and take a rest, this guess is too terrifying, don't scare yourself, I've been so busy these days, and I'm tired, I'll help you go to rest now." ”
Gently supporting Lu Lao, Wu Xian slowly helped him to the bed and poured a bowl of water.
"Old Lu, drink some water."
After taking a sip of water, Lu Lao was a little weak: "You go and do what you should be busy with, you are old, this body is not as good as a day, I will lie down here, just sleep, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"No, I see that your health is very poor, I better stay here and take care of you."
Unexpectedly, Lu Lao became angry: "Don't worry about me, do you really want something like that to happen, hurry up and get busy with yourself." ”
Seeing Lu Lao's insistent look, thinking of the consequences of this incident, Wu Xian's back felt cold, and he poured water for him again and put it on the desk next to the bed.
"Old Lu, you have a good rest, then I'll be busy."
"Yes, go ahead."
Walking out of the house and gently closing the door, Wu Xian decided to go around the village, not only to see the structure of the village, but also to calm down.
Click on the system page, and a series of messages on it remind Wu Xian that if he wants to survive, he must complete the task.
Mission Duration: 5 days (3 days)
Mission Completion: 30%
Side quest 2: Go to Lu's home to obtain sacred things and unseal the 'Sealed Demon Arrow'. (incomplete)
So far, Wu Xian has completed a number of tasks, and even the second side quest has made fundamental progress, as long as the time is up, it will be easy to complete this task.
But the most important main task, surviving the mountain village in the next five days, and finding out the cause of the horror in the mountain village, Wu Xian has no clue at all.
Originally, he thought that this world called the rookie mission would be a simple place, but so far Wu Xian has indeed not encountered any danger, according to his idea, survive five days, and then complete the mission, leave here and return to the blue planet.
If Lu Lao's guess is true, combined with the five days given by the system, there is a great possibility that on the fifth day, the seal will be lifted, the ghosts will appear, and the entire village will be slaughtered, and even he will have to be in it.
No, I can't just sit back and wait, I have to find a way to solve it.
Thinking of this, Wu Xian decided to take a trip to the back mountain, because it was too suspicious there, and if the seal existed, it was more likely to be there.
Just as he was about to act, a sudden pain exploded from his heart, and Wu Xian felt very sad in his heart, and let go of some important person leaving him.
Holding his chest, he suddenly thought, "Could it be Lu Lao, no." ”
Even though he couldn't believe his guess, he ran quickly towards the village.
Along the way, Wu Xian saw the villagers walking towards one place after another.
"Hurry up, Mr. Lu has passed away suddenly."
"How could it be, he is the benefactor of our village, how could he suddenly be gone."
"Who knows, how can this man have an accurate time when he is old."
"Oh, that's a pity."
Hearing the villagers' discussions, Wu Xian was truly sure that Lu Lao had passed away.
When he ran to Lu Lao's house, the purple flowers in the courtyard exuded a faint fragrance, and several villagers were covering the corpses with white cloths.
"No !!"
Wu Xian's spirit was a little broken, he was fine when he left just now, and he was already separated by heaven and man after only a few years, and struggled to walk in front of Lu Lao and lift the white cloth.
There seemed to be a smile on his kind face, but he could no longer see Lu Lao's guidance to him.
Although they have only been together for two days, they seem to have been familiar for ten years, Lu Lao is not only his mentor but also a good friend, but now that he has passed away, Wu Xian can no longer hold back, tears are raging, and he cries loudly.
"Hey, child, don't be sad, Mr. Lu passed away smoothly, and he is old, which can be regarded as a happy funeral."
"Yes, Mr. Lu has taught so many children in our village the knowledge, it is reasonable to use the highest standard funeral, let the children go, take advantage of the auspicious day of the zodiac, or prepare for the funeral first."
Even if Wu Xian was unwilling, Lu Lao was already dead, his body was cold, and he began to become stiff, he blamed himself, why did he leave at that time, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.
Wu Xian staggered, and finally sat down at the foot of the bed, blaming himself all the time.
