Chapter 108: The Woodcutter Boy
There was no cloud, and a young man chopping wood was sitting next to the bluestone to rest. He was very young and good-looking. Carrying a bundle of dry firewood on his back. He looked very thin. Wipe the sweat from your forehead.
Suddenly, there were some ripples in the plain space of the sky. A trace of spatial ripples spread. At a certain moment, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared.
A figure emerged from the spatial vortex in embarrassment. Drop directly into the ground. As it was about to hit the ground, the figure suddenly floated up, and then fell lightly to the ground.
The wood-chopping boy was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Where is this?" the figure came to the side of the young man chopping wood, a thin young man. This person is Lin Rang, and he now has to determine whether this is Xuanhuangtian or not.
"This is the Celestial Star Country. The woodcutter shrunk his neck, a little scared.
"Celestial Star Country. Lin Rang frowned and muttered to himself, he felt that the name of this country was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. It's just a moment, and I can't remember it.
"Is this the territory of Xuanhuangtian?" Lin Rang stared at the young man chopping wood, this is an ordinary person, unremarkable. There is not a trace of cultivation in the body.
"Where is Xuanhuangtian?" the woodcutter shook his head, he didn't know what kind of place Xuanhuangtian was. He only knew that this was the Celestial Star Country. An ancient country.
Lin Rang frowned, a young man chopping wood, definitely didn't know the concept of Xuanhuangtian.
Lin Rang silently released his senses, and found that this area was all barren mountains and rivers, and there were some villages. He didn't catch the city's existence.
However, he had an unexpected discovery, that is, the young man chopping wood in front of him was a little abnormal. Because the bones of this wood-chopping boy are actually dark red. And not white bones.
Lin Rang released his divine consciousness before, and inadvertently spied on the whole body of the wood-chopping boy.
"What are you going to do?" The woodcutter saw that Lin Rang had been staring at him, a little scared, and couldn't help but take a step back.
"I have no ill will. Lin Rang estimated that this was a special physique. But in his knowledge, he had never seen a man's bones dark red. I don't know what a strange effect it has.
"Are you a god?" asked the wood-chopping boy, who seemed to have mustered up his courage.
"There are no gods in this world, and there are no gods. Lin Rang said lightly.
"And how do you need my help?" asked the woodcutter.
Lin Rang squinted his eyes, he needed to find a place to settle down now and study the Treasure Spirit Saint Soldier of Xinghai Blue Heart. Then explore this area and see if it is Xuanhuangtian. Then find your way back to the Dali Dynasty.
"I need to find a place to stay, let's go to your house!" Lin Rang looked at the sky.
"But my house is a little shabby. The woodcutter looked embarrassed, his home could not be entertained. Because it's so basic.
Lin Rang knew that this was a poor boy, otherwise he would not have come to chop wood, this is not a good job.
"It's okay to be sheltered from the elements, and that's your only chance. Lin Rang also wanted to see what kind of physique this woodcutter boy was.
Because Danfan's special physique must have some kind of mysterious effect, it's a pity that this wood-chopping boy has no luck and has not been discovered. In a barren area like this, there should be very few strong people passing through.
It was a coincidence. Only then did I find this wood-chopping boy.
This is a village, it looks very poor, most of the families live in the kind of shacks, the fields here are not fertile, and it is difficult to survive by farming. And in the mountains, there are not many good things. Therefore, it is difficult for people here to get rich.
The woodcutter's home is also a shack, and there are no mud walls.
He was poor, his clothes were patched, and he was a loner. There are no relatives, and of course, such a poor person will not have friends.
Naturally, two people should be considered friends only if they have similar status.
Inside this shack, it couldn't be more simple, the table was missing legs, there was not even a bed, and the ground was covered with hay.
Such a place can shelter from the rain, but not the wind.
"What about your parents?" Lin Rang frowned.
"I've never met them, I grew up eating 100 family meals. The young man chopping wood had a cold voice. Those two words, for him, did not have the slightest concept.
"A person who has been helpless and lonely since childhood is likely to be strong. Lin Rang sneered.
"You wait for me, I'll go get some wine and meat. The woodcutter said.
"No, I don't have to. Keep the money for yourself!" Lin Rang naturally could not eat or drink. No food is needed at all.
The boy chopping wood is called Meng Xiao. This name was given to him by the only literate person in the village. He did grow up eating hundreds of family meals, and every family in this village once gave him a mouthful of food. Of course, when he reaches an age where he can survive, this bite of food will not exist.
At night, Lin Rang sat cross-legged, and it was drizzling outside, and there was a slight coldness.
Meng Xiao, a young man chopping wood, was already lying on the hay and fell asleep.
Lin Rang had a bronze tripod beside him, carrying a blood-red knife and a blue knife, and kicking the blue heart of Xinghai in his arms.
The four Treasure Spirit Holy Soldiers are definitely eye-popping and crazy treasures, and they are too eye-catching to put around.
However, Lin Rang had no choice, he had not reached the Divine Power Realm, if he had a magical power, he could collect the four Treasure Spirit Holy Soldiers into a speck of dust.
At this moment, Lin Rang took out the Xinghai Blue Heart in his arms, which was only the size of a palm, crystal clear, like a piece of blue crystal.
This thing has the effect of finding other clones. Lin Rang can be used to seek good fortune and avoid evil. He knew that there must be extremely powerful clones in this world. He can be wiped out in an instant.
Judging from Song Mingyi's words, this Treasure Spirit Holy Soldier needs to be guided by blood. Lin Rang gently cut his fingertips with his fingernails and dripped a few drops of blood onto Xinghai Lan's heart. Xinghai Blue Heart quickly flowed out of a hazy halo. But little information appeared.
Lin Rang was a little surprised, could something go wrong? This thing should have the effect of detecting the location of other clones! Otherwise, how did Song Mingyi find him, it couldn't be a coincidence!
After a while, Lin Rang sensed that something was wrong, and he was a little speechless, he didn't use his vitality to urge Xinghai Blue Heart, he just dripped blood, so he couldn't show its wonderful use. After all, the Treasure Spirit Soldiers can't function on their own.
Lin Rang injected a rich vitality into Xinghai Blue Heart, and Xinghai Blue Heart quickly changed, and a golden criss-crossing dividing line appeared, which looked like a chessboard. In the corner of the chessboard, a point of light appeared. Twinkle and twinkle.
Immediately, five golden characters appeared on the chessboard, writing the middle stage of the Divine Power Realm.
Lin Rang's face changed immediately, which meant that in this world, there was a clone. The strength is in the middle of the Divine Realm. This was an opponent that Lin Rang would be difficult to defeat, even though he had four Treasure Spirit Saint Soldiers.
The Divine Powers Realm is very difficult to cultivate, and there is a huge gap between each step. It's hard to make up.
To deal with this level, Lin Rang estimated that he had to wait until he reached the Divine Power Realm to be absolutely sure.
At present, Lin Rang is in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and he wants to peek into the Divine Power Realm, but it will take a long time, after all, he needs to suppress his vitality for several years. Because it is necessary to make up for the cultivation that has been forcibly promoted.
Lin Rang was now unable to deduce the distance shown on the Blue Heart of the Star Sea. He had to test it, but he now knew that in this world, there was a clone in the middle of the Divine Power Realm, and he had to take precautions.
He can find out where the other person is, but there is no guarantee that the other person will not be able to find out where he is. So we have to be vigilant.
Meng Xiao has been sleeping heavily, he has no burden, and the whole family is not hungry when he eats alone, so naturally there is no pressure.
For a person like him, naturally no woman will take a fancy to him, so there is no pressure.
If the trajectory of fate does not change, Meng Xiao will fight firewood for a lifetime, and then die alone. In the end, there was no one to collect the body when he died.
Lin Rang took Xinghai Lanxin into his arms, then stood up and walked to Meng Xiao's side. Squatting down slowly, he wanted to see what was so special about Meng Xiao's physical body. He had never seen a man's bones dark red.
Previously, his divine sense was not aimed at Meng Xiao, so he did not investigate it clearly. Now, he's going to take a closer look.
Lin Rang poked out two fingers and gently placed them on Meng Xiao's forehead, then closed his eyes and released his divine sense. Covering every inch of Meng Xiao's flesh and blood, every bone.
It's really dark red bones, it looks very evil, and on these bones, there seem to be vague marks, but you can't see it really.
After a long time, Lin Rang opened his eyes, although he was also well-informed, he really hadn't seen what kind of physique this was, but one thing was certain, that is, Meng Xiao was definitely not an ordinary person.
What is the origin of such an ordinary-looking woodcutter.
Lin Rang had the heart to experiment and see what strengths this physique had in terms of cultivation. This required leading Meng Xiao onto the path of cultivation. This is not a difficult thing for Lin Rang.
Special physique, if buried, is a pity.
Early the next morning, the rain stopped, and it was damp in the shack. Meng Xiao looked at the sky with a depressed expression. Because of the rain at night, he couldn't get dry firewood today. And if he needs to live, he needs to sell the dry firewood.
No one in this village must have bought it, so it had to be sold at the market, after all, those wealthy families would definitely not go to collect firewood.
Fortunately, Meng Xiao fetched a bundle of dry firewood yesterday. Otherwise, I won't even be able to afford to eat today.
He belongs to one day at a time, without any ideals and aspirations. Such people are super free. There's no need to be busy. You can enjoy the quiet years leisurely.
Of course, this can also be said to be a waste mentality, after all, who doesn't want to get ahead and be domineering.
"I'm going to the market, are you going?" Meng Xiao picked up a bundle of dry firewood and prepared to go to the market.
"I also want to go out for a walk. Lin Rang smiled indifferently, he hid the bronze tripod in the hay, this treasure spirit holy soldier is not suitable for carrying.
Despite the lessons learned from the last time, Lin Rang believes that the same situation will not happen again. In this barren village, there should be no masters passing by, so the bronze tripod will naturally not be found.
Of course, Lin Rang didn't dare to guarantee it, but the pitiful probability of being small was negligible.
To go to the market, it really takes half a day to go back and forth, which means that you start in the morning and come back in the evening.
There were mountain roads all the way, and Lin Rang walked lightly, not in a hurry or slowly, and followed behind Meng Xiao.
"How much can you exchange this bundle of firewood for?" Lin Rang asked, he felt that it would definitely not sell for much money. After all, scarcity is expensive, and firewood is almost everywhere.
"Three copper plates, enough for me to eat for a day. Meng Xiao smiled slightly, very calmly.
There may be many people who will think that this is a shame, because they can only earn a day's food money, and they can't waste anymore, and it's much better to ask for food!
But Meng Xiao didn't think so, he didn't steal or rob, and he didn't need to look at other people's faces. I don't feel low.
Don't those who look noble also look at other people's faces?
"You're quite comfortable like this, do you have any ideas?" Lin Rang didn't look down on Meng Xiao, this was a person with a special physique. There are definitely unique strengths. It's a pity that it wasn't excavated.
Lin Rang estimated that I am afraid that Meng Xiao does not know his specialness.
"Thoughts, I just want to be able to live freely. "Meng Xiao is indeed unambitious.
"Yes, how many people have given up their freedom and become slaves in exchange for the capital to survive, but it is a pity! Freedom is poverty for you, and everyone will laugh at you. Lin Rang shook his head. Freedom, in fact, he was not free either. It's like a chess piece.
"I don't care about other people's eyes. "Meng Xiao does not live in the evaluation of others.
"You look like this, but you can't find a woman, your house is a rotten shack, and there is nothing. Lin Rang felt that this guy was a little confused. He wanted to stimulate Meng Xiao's ambition and then lead him on the path of cultivation.
"Well, perhaps! A person is not very good, there are not so many troubles. Meng Xiao sighed inexplicably. He was reluctant to change his current situation.
Lin Rang was speechless, he had never seen such a person, why didn't he have any idea at all!
The bazaar is in a town called Baekyang Town. The houses here are all tiled houses. There are more than a dozen streets, which is considered a relatively large town.
After entering the town, Meng Xiao squatted at the corner of the street and stood up the dry firewood. He's not going to sell. Because of this kind of thing, it's useless to sell. People who are willing to buy will naturally come.
After all, this is a necessity, so it is not to worry about selling, but the price is really too low. Three copper plates, it is estimated that even three meals can be handled.
Lin Rang stood aside and was silent, there was nothing here that could attract his attention.
In the end, it was a guy from a restaurant who asked for Meng Xiao's dry firewood and asked him to send it to the firewood room. There is no coolie fee. There are only three copper plates.
This restaurant is more elegantly furnished. Lin Rang followed Meng Xiao and entered the kitchen of the restaurant.
