Chapter 2 Cause and Effect
He followed Chen Lao to a quaint hut. It is a stone house that looks relatively sturdy. Walking through the door, there is a large row of wooden furniture inside that is very delicately carved.
"Chi Xiaoyou, you sit down first, I'll go get the wine and food!" Chen Lao arranged Chi Yu first, and then walked to the back room to get the wine and food.
Akabane was not polite, as the saying goes, between men, if they have drunk, they are brothers, and since he promised others to drink today, he will naturally not be polite.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Chen Lao hadn't come yet, Akabane began to look at the things around him. Very ordinary furniture, but very exquisite, should have been carved by Chen Lao himself.
However, if you take a casual look, it doesn't take long for Akabane to find something that appeals to him very much. He didn't expect that in this small mountain village, there would be magic beads!
And what is this magic bead? Every low-level demon, their body will derive this magic bead, this is where they contain power, of course, when the demon soldier cultivates to reach the magician, this magic bead will disperse, turn into a magic mist, and continue to provide power for the owner in the body.
In the past, this magic bead couldn't even reach a trace of his strength for Akabane, but this feng shui takes turns, and now the magic bead is in his eyes, but it has become a treasure!
He has been reduced to a low-level demon soldier and a low-level demon, something like a magic bead will greatly improve his cultivation!
Of course, Chi Yu is not the kind of person who wants to make money, and Chen Lao accepted him for the night, and he must not be ungrateful. Even if the demon is not so glorious in the eyes of the world, every demon also has its own heart, but the bloody nature of the war and killing in the bones is something they can't change.
Thinking about it, Chen Lao walked out with wine and food. Akabane loved to drink wine when he was on it, and he drank the elixir and jade dew in the sky for a long time, and now he smells the aroma of this farmhouse wine, but he misses it very much.
With the help of wine, Chi Yu and Chen Lao soon chatted like close friends.
After three rounds of drinking, the two of them let go and chatted.
"Old Chen, Xiaosheng is not familiar with this place, can you smell it, where is there around here?" Picking up the wine bowl, Chi Yu squinted and asked.
"Hey, don't mention it, this radius is dozens of miles, except for a small town not far to the west, there is no other population at all!" Chen Lao touched his face that was a little reddened, and said in a melancholy tone.
Hearing Old Chen's words, Chi Yu raised his eyebrows and asked again, "Why do you say this? Why is this place so deserted?"
"Alas, I'll tell you the truth, this land of red earth is full of beasts. Of course, the threat of the beasts can still be solved by us human monks, but in the center of the terracotta land, a monster has spawned! Wherever the monster goes, there is no grass, and it likes to eat humans. Old Chen, who had a sad face, sighed and said.
For this, Akabane is a little puzzled, why everyone else is gone, and this small mountain village and town can still stay here?
Chen Lao looked at Chi Yu's frowning expression, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, smiled and began to continue: "I guess you also want to know why this small mountain village and small town are still safe and sound, right?"
Hearing Old Chen's words, Chi Yu nodded.
"Alas, this is from thirty years ago! At that time, it was said that the gods and demons were constantly fighting. The two tribes struck from heaven to the earth, and from the earth to the heavens. Suddenly, one day, a news came, the demon god of war rebelled, the morale of the demon clan was greatly reduced, and many armies were defeated and scattered. And at this time, a demon fell from the sky to this terracotta land. Speaking of this, Chen Lao took a sip of wine.
Akabane frowned slightly at this moment, as if he had guessed what had happened. However, because I have already asked others, of course I still have to listen to it.
"At the time, the adversary looked dying. A kind-hearted person stepped forward to check the situation, but unexpectedly, the devil got up in an instant and swallowed the man in one bite. At that time, people were terrified and began to flee in all directions. And even if the devil is injured, it is not something we can deal with! At first, some strong people volunteered to crusade against the devil, but in the end, they were all broken and returned with feathers! In this way, time passed day by day, and the devil killed more and more people! Finally, one day, the devil came to the door of our small mountain village. With that, Old Chen raised his glass again and toasted with Akabane.
"Hehe, as it happens, it's as if the devil can't even stand it. At that time, the Adversary was preparing to attack us. And at this moment, suddenly, the sky was clear! First a lightsaber fell, and then a man like a god of war appeared! He took the lightsaber and fought with the demon for three days and three nights, and finally on the third night, the god of war defeated the demon. Before leaving, he gave us a black bead with a painful face, and told us that he could not destroy or take away this black bead, and could only seal it with his own strength. If one day, whoever can take it away, let him take it away, this magic bead can keep you safe, and of course, it can also destroy you!"
Akabane seems to know something at the moment, the magic bead next to it, because of the deterrent power of the demon race, makes the surrounding beasts dare not approach, however, this magic bead also exudes a bloody aura all the time! Over time, people will be affected by it, become brutal, bloodthirsty, and eventually turn into a demon controlled by emotions! And the Protoss can wait for himself to recover before coming back to destroy the Demon Bead, but in the eyes of the Protoss, human life is just a mustard, they will always be sacred, and saving this village is obviously not in his plan.
Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Chi Yu patted his leg and asked, "Old Chen, let me ask you, how long has that bead been here?"
This sudden change of color made Chen Lao stunned, but when he saw Chi Hane's expression, he said it truthfully.
"This bead, it's been about twenty years since it was placed, what's the matter, Chi Xiaoyou, do you know anything?"
Akabane didn't respond to him immediately, all he blurted out was one sentence!
Hearing Chi Yu's words, Chen Lao was even more surprised, how could this happen?
"Old Chen, have there been many big fights in the village recently?"
Hearing this, Chen Lao thought about it, and it seemed that it was indeed like what Chi Yu said! He has been worrying about this matter for the past few days, and he doesn't even know how to deal with the injuries in the village! Okay, the fight started, and there is no reason for him, so he wants to fight! It's quite evil.
Thinking of this, Chen Lao gasped, as if he had thought of something, patted his thigh, and asked emotionally: "Could it be that the recent beatings in the village are all caused by this bead?"
Chi Yu saw that Chen Lao was in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry, and after drinking a bowl of wine, he said: "This matter may be more serious than you think!"
Hearing Chi Yu's words, Chen Lao grabbed his pants with both hands and asked eagerly, "What kind of serious law is it?"
"That's right, the black bead is a magic bead, if nothing else, it should be between the two logs next to me. The magic bead contains the power of the demons, it will render the surroundings and injure the surroundings, deterring the surroundings! If this is what I think, then it is already very dangerous here!"
Hearing Chi Yu's words, Chen Laoxin pounced. In the next second, the screams from outside pulled Chen Lao out of his thoughts!
As soon as he finished saying this, something happened, and the two looked at each other and rushed outside.
Outside, people came out with sleepy eyes to see the situation. However, when they saw the situation in the center of the village, they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and felt completely sleepy!
At this time, two people who are not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts are scuffling together. Their eyes were scarlet, their hair was scattered, their skin was already black, and they looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
Seeing this, they retreated one after another, not wanting to step forward and hold them back! However, as the head of the small mountain village, Chen Lao was the person who everyone wanted, so he had to come forward at this time.
But just as Chen Lao stepped forward, Chi Yu grabbed him, and then said with an expression handed over to me: "Since I'm here, of course I won't sit idly by, leave it to me, you still have something to do, go and appease the villagers, after a while, there may be a fierce battle!" After speaking, Chi Yu stepped forward without waiting for Chen Lao to answer!
Looking at this scene, Chen Lao still wanted to stop it, but he faintly felt that this matter, handed over to Chi Hane, would definitely be much better than the result he dealt with!
Thinking of this, he walked towards the villagers and began to reassure them.
Everyone watched Akabane step forward and prepare to pull the rack, and they began to talk about it.
Akabane didn't bother with the gossip. He stepped forward and looked at the two people who had "gone crazy", without any mud and water, and in an instant, he shot out and knocked the two of them out with a knife!
Seeing this scene, there was a burst of exclamations and gasps around him.
Akabane looked at the two of them who were no longer tossing, stretched out his hand, and the magic in his body worked. In an instant, the black gas visible to the naked eye slowly flowed towards Akabane.
Where have the surrounding villagers seen this situation, some people shouted for hell, while some people ran straight home to find their mother.
The most calm is Chen Lao, he was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Chi Yu's hand, his heart finally relaxed a lot.
He didn't have the heart to let go completely because another thing was also bothering him! What Akabane said just now, there was still a fierce battle coming for a while, what the hell was going on?
And when Chen Lao was thinking about this, Chi Hane's side was already over, and it was slowly walking towards him.
"How is it, can it be alright?" asked Chen Lao worriedly.
"Well, don't worry, it's okay to rest for two days. ”
And when Chi Yu and Chen Lao were communicating, several women next to them came from behind, panting and running to the two of them and crying. Seeing this, Akabane knew that they should be relatives of those two.
When it was almost over, the women ran up to Akabane and thanked him, and took out a few taels of iron money and handed them to him. I didn't want to accept it, but this kind of thing is very difficult to entangle, and after some pushing, Akabane still accepted the money.
After the woman left, Chi Yu said to Chen Lao with a serious face: "After the magic bead sucked the anger and resentment of these people, it already had a preliminary thought, and it no longer exudes deterrent power, so the deterrent power is dissipated, and soon a large number of fierce beasts will gather here! I will take the magic bead first, and I will also solve the fierce beasts outside, but you better hurry up and make a good way back, because I can't stay here all the time!"
Hearing Chi Yu's words, Chen Lao had joy and worry on his face, but after thinking about it, he still went with Chi Yu to get the magic bead.
