Chapter Seventy-One: Temporary Separation, Demons Move
The Black Mountain villagers who shouted Ning Caichen's name had no regular voice at first, but gradually turned into a resonance in the harmony. Just like the melting snow water on the snowy plateau, it converges into small streams along the mountain, and finally combines with the surging river, which is a force that seems to condense inexplicable thoughts.
"A gentleman's word!" The rising shouts gave Ning Caichen, who was not too confident, a kind of strength that seemed to be able to ignore all difficulties, and the little craftsman's blood was boiling in excitement, his face was flushed, and the bloodshot pupils in his eyes were swollen, and he turned around and said to Mu Yuchen with confidence.
"Whip the horse!" Mu Yuchen had a shallow smile on his face, but there was a faint and subtle indifference in his pupils, filled with ice blue, and he responded gently to Ning Caichen.
Looking at the coldness and calmness on Mu Yuchen's face, the rising calls of the villagers in his ears came and went, as if the feeling of a strong conflict between ice and fire collided with each other in the depths of Ning Caichen's heart. The flush on the little craftsman's face was as hot as the fiery emotion in his heart, and the extremely stimulating coldness in the contrast made his face pale.
"I'm still too young!!" Zhao Xin, Song Yan, and Menghuo exchanged glances, almost unanimously at the low end of their eyes, exchanging sentences that implied such a clear judgment, and at the same time, Yan Chixia's face also showed a playful smile full of watching the play in front of her.
For kindness! The tradition of the Celestial Empire pays attention to the so-called 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring', but although this sentence is very exciting to listen to Qi Ai. But if you really have to do things according to such rules, then the final result will definitely be very bad, you must know that the people of the Celestial Dynasty who will have a 'modest' attitude towards life, there is also a long-standing proverb called 'Shengmien.' Dou Mi Feud'.
is calling for the crowd of people walking towards the small courtyard, the voice of 'Lord Ning' is getting higher and higher, no one will doubt that at this moment, the villagers of Montenegro have absolutely pure and 100% gratitude for Ning Caichen who helped them solve the water source dilemma! However, this does not mean that these villagers will accompany Ning Caichen to risk their lives to climb the mountain for the sake of this kindness.
After the XX old lady of Nanjing, the people of the Celestial Empire have shaken their foundation in a fundamental sense for the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young! Very simple! Because we can't afford that outcome! The financial resources of an average family. According to the final verdict of the old lady, the possibility of directly causing the family to fall into trouble is beyond our reach, so we have the courage to pick up and fall the old lady. The family is definitely a joke of the rich second generation, but its connotation is extremely regrettable.
Those who may be in the 'brick family called the beast', the people who are not ancient or cold, how many of them are lonely and do not have to drag their families with their mouths, and they do not have to bear the burden of family life! In order not to add an extra burden to the family. It is inevitable to increase unnecessary risks, as far as the so-called tradition or morality is concerned! Not worth mentioning in front of livelihood and family! It is important to know that 'filial piety' is the biggest theme of the Chinese thousand-year-old tradition, and the foundation of 'respecting the old and loving the young' is also built on the family.
From a logical point of view, Ning Caichen found a water source, and the favors brought to the villagers of Montenegro Village should be enough. Inspired a few villagers in Montenegro Village to work for him. From a practical point of view, however, this issue needs to be considered in other ways. First of all, the villagers of Black Mountain Village are all lonely! No! So even willing villagers could not get the consent of their families.
Of course, you might say the huge Black Mountain Village! There are always a few 'righteous and more dogs'. People who don't take care of family burdens! Of course, Mu Yuchen will not deny the existence of this, but considering the background that Black Mountain Village now has. Such a person is unlikely.
…,
The plot background of Black Mountain Village is that there has been a shortage of water and drought for a long time, and the kiln factory where the pillar industry of firing earthen pots is abandoned, and even the animals are difficult to feed. In this context, most of the villagers have a difficult livelihood, and those righteous dog slaughterers are basically a little bold, so naturally they will not accompany those villagers who are attached to the countryside to endure in this land where there is no hope, and then counting the condition that they do not have to worry about the burden of the family, this kind of person should have made up his mind to go out and make a living in the first few months of the long drought.
In fact, when Ning Caichen went to the mountain for the first time, only one villager volunteer accompanied him, and the fact that the others were all death row prisoners who committed crimes is enough to explain the situation in Montenegro Village. In fact, Ning Caichen probably understood this, so he hesitated for so long after Mu Yuchen's proposal, but the young man was not deeply involved in the world and was too emotional, if it weren't for the emotional call of the villagers outside the small courtyard, the stupid little craftsman would probably not agree, and he was already on the verge of failure from the beginning.
"Lord Ning! Ning-sama! ……。 The eager waves of the surging crowd stopped at the door of the small courtyard like a torrent, and the call that shook the night continued, and then the unlocked wooden door was pushed open, revealing the dark environment of the head of the Black Mountain Village, which clearly reflected the faint halo of light on the bald head.
"Everyone, be quiet! Everyone, be quiet! The head of Black Mountain Village, who was standing at the door, looked at Ning Caichen and the others who were standing opposite, turned around and waved his arms and said loudly. Today we have water again in our Black Mountain Village! All this must be thanked to Lord Ning!! ”
"Lord Xie Lu, Lord Xie Ning! Xie Lu, Lord Xie Ning! ……。 The crowd fell into excitement again during the bald village chief's speech, and it took a while to be calmed down.
"To celebrate the end of the difficulties in our Montenegrin village! I propose that we party all night tonight! Hold a Songkran Festival! All the consumption will be borne by the village chief! Everyone said it's good! The smile on his face was in the bald head that could not be suppressed, and he waved his arms and said again excitedly.
"Oh!!!" The whole village was completely detonated again in the midst of the shouting.
As the bald village chief who is the richest man in Black Mountain Village, he began to arrange a celebration with great interest, and the village elder among the village chiefs, as a representative, continued to be a little clumsy but extremely sincere, constantly thanking Ning Caichen, and enthusiastically making the little craftsman who was tired of coping. It seems that even the gambling contract has been forgotten.
Countless candles, which should have belonged to luxury in this era, were lit around the center of the village, large and small seats and benches were laid out in the open air, and various pots and pans were held in hand. The various domestic animals slaughtered on the spot were set up on a bonfire, which was released in the orange-red light of the evening breeze, and the unique fragrance of animal fat was released.
As a hero, Ning Caichen and the Phantom World team, together with Yan Chixia, who was quite stained, watched the villagers of Black Mountain Village busy before and after. Zhao Xin looked at the almost good venue in front of him, as well as the buckets of water transported from all around, and silently looked back at Mu Yuchen.
A handful of villagers who have completed the task have already begun, using all kinds of guys with water in their hands. The bucket was filled with liquid and splashed on the surrounding villagers, who had also stopped busy. The seemingly crystal water splashed and refracted a unique light and shadow in the firelight of the night, and the atmosphere of laughter became even higher.
"The water! It's going to be wasted tonight! Zhao Xin seemed to be talking about water. His eyes immediately glanced at Ning Caichen on the side.
"Indeed! So much water! It's a waste! Ning Caichen was a little absent-minded, but said with pity: "It's okay!" It's a rare time to relax! Mu Yuchen said with a gentle smile. Ning Caichen! Remember our bet! ”
"Naturally! ……。 Ning Caichen, who showed a solemn expression in the flash, looked back suddenly in a hurry, and intertwined with Mu Yuchen's pupils, and the crystal halo that turned cold made the little craftsman suddenly lose his mind. After a blink of an eye, he continued to say solemnly: "A gentleman's word! Whip the horse! ”
…,
"So! I'll go back and wait for your good news! Mu Yuchen, who hinted at Ning Caichen and told him not to drink water tonight, touched Zhao Xin's gaze again, and then led the Phantom World team to take a step. Walk in the direction of the original courtyard.
The newcomers of the Phantom World team are somewhat interested in the celebration of the simulated Songkran Festival in front of them. However, the hidden dryad blood in the water made the four of them somewhat daunted. The village chief noticed the action of the Phantom World team. I wanted to stay and rushed over and said a few words, and then I was sent away by Mu Yuchen with a look.
"Brother Yan! The monsters of Lanruo Temple in the demon mirror just now! Presumably the old monster loves to think about something! Mu Yuchen, who returned to the small courtyard, was vaguely uneasy, and asked Yan Chixia, who was more familiar with the situation in Montenegro: "We just killed a lot last night!" Didn't want to gather so much again tonight! ”
"Ugh! It seems that Brother Xu didn't deceive me!! It can be proved from this question! Brother Xu really doesn't have any teachers, and he rarely has contact with other monks! Yan Chixia, who didn't seem to expect Mu Yuchen to say this, shook her head with a smile after a moment's pause.
"I was a complete Wild Fox Zen! Hehe! Mu Yuchen said disappreciatively.
"I really haven't seen that wild fox Zen! To be able to cultivate to the point of Brother Xu! Hehe! Straight to the point! A true body imprison method like that old monster! It's all about extracting the soul of the real body! Match the shell to make a puppet! Yan Chixia said to Mu Yuchen like an explanation.
"So even if those monsters are hit by the thunder arrows that I specially refined with lightning striking jujube wood as a material, the effect is only to burn the body, and the part of the split soul in the body, and hurt the true body vitality of the monster! As long as the dryad is willing to pay a sufficient price, then that part of the loss will soon be recovered! ”
"That is to say! Those monsters are almost unkillable! That's a bit of a hassle! Mu Yuchen frowned and said, "It's hard for Brother Yan to live for a few years!" In the mountains, I kept playing hide and seek with those little demons! ”
"Hey! If not! Constantly exhausted! I've cut off all its minions a long time ago, and I've been able to let that old monster run rampant until now! Yan Chixia's tone was somewhat helpless, and then he said to Mu Yuchen and the others: "Those monsters may have some actions!" But I'll be on a routine tour tonight! Those little minions can't make waves! Tomorrow at dawn! I'll be back! ”
"On the mountain!? This will also suppress the recovery possibility of the old monster! "Mu Yuchen asked Yan Chixia to wait, after all, the two of them have their own things to do, but they just have a little regret." There's still something I need to take care of on my end! I'll go up the hill later! Move your muscles a little! By the way, I also beat the side drum and cheered for Brother Yan! ”
For those demon trees that have been split or grafted by thousand-year-old tree demons, combined with demonic magic combined with human broken souls. In the end, due to the loss of control of the Xuanyin Gathering Array, and then the demons and ghosts swimming around in the dark night of the Black Mountain, Mu Yuchen himself was very, very interested, and helped them to gain the liberation of returning to extinction.
"So! See you in the mountains later! Yan Chixia from the storage bag on her waist. Rummaged out a jade plate with a dark red color depicting a ghost painting talisman, handed it to Mu Yuchen and said, "This jade talisman is for you!" As long as you inject mana into it! Activate the mana I infused into the jade talisman, and then you can follow the guide paper crane to find me! ”
"Obtain the Crane Guiding Jade Talisman, which can be activated with abilities such as mana, true element, internal force, blood energy, magic power, and fighting energy." Mu Yuchen took the jade talisman and lightly swiped it across the surface of the Guanghua jade with his five fingers, the rough brushstrokes depicting dark red notes, and then remembered it in his mind for a while. The cold, numb tone familiar to the soul.
…,
"Item Name: Paper Crane Guiding Jade Talisman Item Rank: Bronze Upper Origin World Realm: A Chinese Ghost Story Item Introduction: A Powerful and Enhanced Version of the Ordinary Yellow Paper Guiding Charm.
Item Description: It can help you find a way to the outside world in the dizzy maze, and can also help you get out of the special environment, which can confuse the perception and the road. It is necessary to be able to find a specific target in a specific situation where the conditions are complete. ”
Although judging from Yan Chixia's expression, this kind of jade talisman with no limit on the number of times is not a very valuable thing, but this kind of item that seems to have no direct combat power. The role that can be played in special circumstances is definitely more suitable for Mu Yuchen's needs than ordinary offensive talismans.
"I'm still worrying about the difficulty of making my way on the mountain! What a good thing! Then Brother Xie Lu and Brother Xie Yan! Xu is disrespectful! Mu Yuchen said to Yan Chixia with a very bright smile.
"Brother Xu is a physical cultivator! Naturally, I am not very proficient in these little tricks! Yan Chixia waved her hand and said to Mu Yuchen: "These gadgets! I hope Brother Xu doesn't laugh! In fact, in terms of Brother Xu's cultivation! As long as you have more experience, you can freely shuttle through the automatic operation of the formation on the Black Mountain! If it weren't for the combination of formation and mountain terrain! The horror has long been ignored by Brother Xu! ”
Mu Yuchen and Yan Chixia were a little polite. Then the bearded man walked out of the courtyard and disappeared into the dark night breeze. I played with the jade talisman in my hand for a while. Mu Yuchen, who looked at Yan Chixia leaving, casually threw him to Song Yan, who had been staring at him for a long time. See if this priest-mage can find something new.
"Is it necessary to be able to find a specific target in a specific situation where the conditions are complete? This sentence is quite interesting! Cooperate with the explanation made by Yan Chixia just now! This so-called specific condition! It should be something like mana that carries the characteristics of the target itself! Song Yan, who was playing carefully, looked at it and said.
"But that's just speculation! There is no way to confirm it yet! Yan Chixia's mana into the jade talisman is limited! For the sake of caution, this is not suitable for further experimentation at this time! However, according to the legendary information, hair, blood, birthdays, and even names should all have the effect of replacing mana! But these messages may also need to be accompanied by other tricks! ”
"Huh! In a short time! So many things can be deduced! I'm impressed with you! Yeon-yeon! Mu Yuchen looked at Song Yan in shock, and Song Yan, who was clearly adjusted in the analysis, had a slightly proud look on her face, and then turned around and said, "I thought you would only find fault and bargain!" I'm sorry! I admit I was wrong! ”
"Are you finding fault!?" Song Yan, who was rubbing her teeth in her mouth, said to Mu Yuchen not to be outdone with her already round and lovely face.
"Captain! Serious matters! I don't know if it's an illusion! I always feel that in those Lanruo Temples, those gathered banshees are not so simple! Reaching out to hold Song Yan's little hand tightly, Zhao Xin, who had a curious look in his eyes, looked at Mu Yuchen, who rarely took the initiative to provoke, and said in a voice like a spiritual spring in the cold.
"We stopped those banshees last night, absorbed the yang energy of those five anonymous death row inmates, and provided the plot arrangement of the thousand-year-old dryad grandmother! If nothing else is inserted! Under Yan Chixia's strict defense! The recent additions of the old youkai should be lacking in the eyes! Last night, I saw it angrily fighting with Yan Chixia! ”
"Suppose the dryad's appetite is irrepressible! In addition, after the seal was completely destroyed, the old monster was impatient to regain his freedom! So when the vitality and appetite of the millennium dryad have reached the extreme limit of patience, what kind of orders do you think those monsters will accept!! Mu Yuchen seemed to have already made up his mind and answered the question raised by Zhao Xin.
"You mean to say! Those youkai will come down the mountain and attack the nearby villages? There are many villages near Montenegro that are paired! But if that's the case! The huge Black Mountain is unguardable! If it's purely defensive! We will undoubtedly fall into a very passive situation! "Fierce Fire is analyzed from a purely military point of view.
"If necessary! We'd better be proactive! Although the amount of power to protect us is not enough! But if it's just a matter of driving away or destroying, the surrounding villages are nothing more than a matter of hand-to-hand capture for our skill and mana! Those monsters can't get any yang energy from dead corpses! ”
As soon as the decisive words of the fierce fire killing fell, the entire small courtyard suddenly fell into a cold field.
