Chapter 244: The Innocent Tiger
The moment the two sides exchanged palms, Yue Yi also felt a familiar aura, as if he had been exposed to a similar flame, so he was so surprised, but he couldn't remember where he had come into contact with this flame aura, rubbed his numb palm, and fell into silence.
"No, this young man was able to take Elder Zhong's palm!"
"Didn't you hear Elder Zhong say that it was just to verify?"
"When Elder Zhong verifies us, who of us will be able to take the next palm?"
"There doesn't seem to be a ...... this"
Those young people all held torches and shook at Yue Yi, but they didn't expect that this ordinary young man still had some ability, among their group of people, they had not been able to take Elder Zhong's palm, but they were still happy to do it, and from time to time they would go to Elder Zhong to verify their strength, because the village chief said that the young man who could take over Elder Zhong's palm could be a candidate for the village chief, and now there are only three people in the village who can do it, and those three people are all perverts in their eyes.
Seeing with his own eyes that the young man in front of him took Elder Zhong's palm, how could he not let them lose their temper, could it be that all those who accidentally broke into this place were all perverted people? I heard that the middle-aged man who accidentally broke into this place twenty years ago had a draw with Elder Zhong, and now that battle has been passed down to this day, every time he mentions this matter, a trace of fanaticism flashes on Elder Zhong's indisputable face, and he seems to miss that battle very much.
"Hehe, okay, don't force it if you can't think of it, go back to the village first, maybe you will know when you see the village chief tomorrow. Elder Zhong smiled, very satisfied with this young man's performance.
Elder Zhong turned away, and under the gaze of the people next to him, Yue Yi also walked in the middle of the group with the young man, he always felt that the young people around him were looking at him with vigilant eyes, as if he posed some threat to them. These Yue Yi didn't bother to ask, he has been sleeping in the open these days, and it is a pleasure to have a bed to sleep on, anyway, he will leave this place tomorrow, and there is no need to have a good relationship with these young people.
Elder Zhong arranged a room for Yue Yi, and Yue Yi went in to rest. As for the hut where Yue Yi was located, it was all made of wood, and its appearance was quite exquisite. The house is also very clean and tidy, with a simple set of tables and chairs, and some calligraphy and paintings hanging in the wooden house, although the layout is simple, but it also makes Yue Yi very satisfied.
The hut is guarded by a special person, and he is afraid that this outsider will do something unfavorable to the village at night, this kind of monitoring is still very necessary, and Yue Yi has no opinion on this. After closing the door, for the sake of insurance, he let Xiaotian sleep directly next to the door, if someone rushed in at the first time, then Xiaotian's body shape could block the door at the first time and prevent the other party from coming in, so that he could sleep with peace of mind.
"Elder Zhong, what will we do if this person goes out alone late at night?" said a young man who was guarding the guard, his face was a little not good-looking, and he was suddenly sent to carry out the task of staring at people all night, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart.
"It's okay, you can notify him in time when the time comes, and someone will naturally clean him up. But I'm sure he won't mess around, and of course, he shouldn't take it lightly. After Elder Zhong finished speaking, he left the hut.
The next day, in the early morning valley was accompanied by a few crisp birdsongs, and some unknown plants slid over them. The rain that had been falling all night finally stopped, and the air throughout the valley was exceptionally fresh. Yue Yi, who came out of the house, took a deep breath of the air here, and that feeling was like being in nature, and even his mind abandoned a little impetuousness. It is indeed difficult to feel a sense of fighting in such a peaceful and peaceful paradise, and it is no wonder that the villagers here are so wary of outsiders, for fear that outsiders will destroy this feeling of indisputability.
"Hmph, it's only now, my grandfather is already waiting for you, don't enjoy it, I haven't seen the world. β
While Yue Yi was still closing his eyes and breathing in the air after the rain, a tiger-headed teenager jumped out of the grass, pointed at Yue Yi's nose and urged, and then looked at him with disdain.
Opening his purple eyes, Yue Yi glanced at this little boy named Hu'er with great interest, his personality was very straightforward, but he didn't know why he was full of hostility towards himself, but in this hostility, there seemed to be a trace of worship, and he didn't know why Hu'er was like this.
"Your name is Hu'er, right, what kind of village is this village, and why are you all fire attribute cultivators?" Yue Yi followed behind Hu'er, looking around at these scattered wooden houses, and then asked.
"Hmph, don't try to trick me, I won't tell you anything. Hu'er, who was jumping in front of him, snorted coldly and did not answer Yue Yi's question.
"Hey, forget it, it is estimated that the name of the village is not very good, as for all of them are fire attribute cultivators, it is nothing more than a coincidence, and there is nothing to ask. Yue Yi wrapped his arms behind his head, quietly watching the scenery here, especially the lake in the middle of the village, the lake water is crystal clear, there are many swimming fish in it, and some medicinal herbs are planted around, so that it has a very hidden style taste.
"What are you talking about? Why is the name of our village so ugly, you remember it for me, our village is called Yan Village. I'm afraid to scare you to death when I say it, we have a place where the sun is the most intense, and it is also the most bizarre place in our Yan Village, only with the sunlight of the sky, there will be a very powerful flame coming out of the eye of the earth, this kind of flame can be used for us to practice, and it is also the cultivation thing that our Yan Village relies on for survival, because the people in our entire village are cultivating fire attributes. Hu'er glared at Yue Yi angrily, this outsider actually looked down on their village, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Well, it's nothing more than the fire in the center of the earth, I thought it was some great flame. Yue Yi closed his eyes and enjoyed the cool air of the morning, and said lightly.
Hu'er's eyes widened, he hated this kind of salty attitude very much, and seemed to feel that the entire Yan Village was despised, and then said loudly: "You hairy boy, have you ever seen the world." Although I don't know how deep the eyes of the earth are, the flames that can come out of the depths of the earth are equivalent to coming from hell, and this flame is blood-red, which must be related to blood, and our Yan Village will call it Shura Blood Flame. How's that, scared by this domineering name?"
Hu'er looked at Yue Yi with an angry face, and he had forgotten his determination to keep his mouth shut before. A smile appeared on the corner of Yue Yi's mouth, pretending to be surprised, and quickly nodded with a hint of envy. Seeing Yue Yi's appearance, Hu'er was a little fluttering. This kid is naΓ―ve, bent on defending the reputation of Yan Village, Yue Yi just used some small means, such as that there are so few people in Yan Village, or so dilapidated, and he can only rely on flames and the like, so angry that Hu'er said it directly, wishing to let Yue Yi know the number of every brick and tile in Yan Village.
Later, Yue Yi simply didn't ask, and the information he wanted to know was basically understood, but Hu'er was not happy. As the grandson of the village chief, in order to help his grandfather defend the honor of the village, he kept chattering in Yue Yi's ear like a chatterbox, just wanting this blind guy to look at Yancun with admiration.
Yue Yi always had a hint of a smile on his calm face, these days he was dealing with a group of middle-aged men and old guys, he felt that he was much older, and he didn't look like a twenty-year-old young man at all. After chatting with Hu'er, he found out that he was only twenty years old, but the burden on his body made him have to put aside his due arrogance at this age, choose a heavy style of doing things like an old monk, step by step, this kind of defenseless chat, has not appeared for a long time.
"Hu'er, have you ever thought that you will leave this village one day?" Yue Yi smiled lightly.
After the previous acquaintance, Hu'er also felt that this outsider was not so hateful, and all the young people in the village were afraid of him. It was difficult for him to talk so much to people, perhaps because of his position as the grandson of the village chief, everyone was flattering him, and on the surface he was happy, but in fact he was lonely. He found that in the end, there was not even a person to speak, Yue Yi was different, he was against him everywhere, he didn't care about his identity at all, and he gradually began to recognize this outsider.
"Why leave this village, this is my homeland, and there are many relatives and friends here. What are you doing, what's the good thing about going out, grandpa said, people in this world are sinister, so it's better to be isolated from the world and save yourself from being too tired. Hu'er tilted his head and said to Yue Yi, his innocent appearance made Yue Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"But the outside world is big and exciting. Men should be ambitious in all directions, if comfort is a luxury, then hard work is a kind of enjoyment, in the pain of feeling life and death, will cherish the current life more. A sense of pride poured out from Yue Yi's body, although Hu'er didn't quite understand what Yue Yi said, but from Yue Yi's words, he could feel that the outside world was indeed very exciting, and there was a hint of yearning in his originally clear eyes.
In Hu'er's opinion, if this outsider can take Elder Zhong's palm, then the other party's strength must be very powerful, at least the youth in their village, only three people can do it, those three have always been the geniuses that Hu'er admires, and now there is another Yue Yi. Since Yue Yi is so powerful, it means that the outside world can indeed temper a strong person, and he also wants to surpass the people he admires, what Yue Yi said is also what Hu'er desires the most in his heart.
Unconsciously, the two walked to the front of a three-story wooden house, which was also the tallest wooden house in the village, and Hu'er said with some reluctance: "Big brother, you go in first, my grandfather is in the wooden house." When you come out, tell me stories about the outside world. β
Looking at Hu'er's hopeful gaze, Yue Yi nodded and said, "Okay, remember, my name is Yue Yi." β
patting Hu'er's little head and tidying up his robe, Yue Yi pushed the door and walked straight in.
