Chapter Seventy-Three: His Holiness
Shi Lei also lifted the curtain and admired this valley like a paradise.
The valley is very large, but there are not many buildings, most of the natural scenery is perfectly preserved, there is a relatively large lake in the middle of the valley, there is a small and small village on the edge of the lake, and there are some simple wooden houses scattered around the water flow of other smaller lakes.
At this time, Shi Lei, standing at the edge of the valley, looked at everything around him very comfortably, the spiritual vitality was indeed incomparably sufficient, a little richer than that of the Black Demon City, and it was also mixed with a fresh and natural taste, so that the cultivation in such an environment could calm down any restless heart.
This day, this water, this mountain, this grass and trees, let him forget all his troubles, a good ancient ancestral land, although it is completely different from what he imagined, but it is more brilliant.
The carriage stops at the edge of the valley and everyone needs to walk for the rest of the road, which is the rule here.
For many years, the people of the ancient tribe have carefully preserved, and the appearance and scenery of the hunter village at the beginning are a kind of inheritance and belief, which is their own roots.
After a while, the people walked into the village, which was not particularly large, but the houses inside were densely packed, and as far as the eye could see, many people could live. Coupled with the scattered around, more than half of the cultivators of the ancient clan moved in.
However, it was still empty at this time, and only a few masters had been guarding this place, and of course there were a few gray-haired old men.
Gu Daotian, Gucci, Gu Yue, and Mrs. Gu, as well as many highly talented Gu clan children behind them, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Meet Venerable." “
Venerable, as the name suggests, respected elders, they are the most powerful beings of the ancient clan, and among them is the old man who went to the Dark Demon City not long ago to secretly participate in the competition with the Blood Refining Sect.
"Venerable?" Shi Lei repeated later, there is no doubt that he has guessed that these old people who appear can be respected by everyone, there is only one possibility, the predecessors of the ancient clan, the masters of the mortal realm.
This was the first time he had seen the living Mortal Realm since he came to the Black Demon Domain, and he couldn't help but look at it with curiosity in his heart.
But he suddenly noticed that there was an old man among them, and beckoned to him again.
Shi Lei looked at both sides of himself suspiciously, except for Wang Ping, who was a monkey and a madman.
"Hey, boy, don't look at it, it's you who called. “
He had no choice but to walk over suspiciously, walked to Gu Yue Gucci, who had already gotten up, and said curiously, "Senior, do you know me?"
The kind-eyed old man kept nodding his head, making Shi Lei confused for a while, "You old guys, take a good look, can you?"
The other old men beside him also nodded incessantly, "Yes, yes." “
The kind-eyed old man spoke again, "Okay, then it's decided, while our old guys are still here, let's worry about his and Yue'er's wedding in a few days." “
"What?" Shi Lei's eyes darkened, his legs weakened for a while, and he almost couldn't help but sit on the ground.
Gu Yue's face was flushed, and she stomped her feet anxiously, "Grandpa, what are you talking about, Brother Shi Lei and I don't have that matter, we have made it clear to my father." “
Gu Daotian also hurriedly stood up under his daughter's constant eyes, "Yes, Dad, Yue'er is still young, these things will be talked about later." “
"Small?" the old man blew his beard and glared, "Where is Yue'er young, like I have already married your mother when I am not much older than her, do you think that everyone is like you, and it takes more than twenty people to find a daughter-in-law." I'm still anxious to hold my grandson."
"Scared", Shi Lei couldn't stand at all now, and sat on the ground with his butt, he suddenly felt that coming here was like going to a wolf's den and entering a trap.
hurriedly spoke, "Senior, I just treat Gu Yue as a little sister, there is no such thing." “
"No?" the old man raised his eyebrows, "Then you mean to say that when the Gu clan patriarch spoke in front of so many people in the gladiatorial arena, it doesn't matter?
Shi Lei roared in his heart at this time, "Sister Yun, come out quickly, what should I do?"
Yun Ling'er changed from the state of watching the play, and lazily stretched her tempting waist, "You said you, others encountered this incident, it's too late to be happy, how can you be like someone in the family is dead." “
Shi Lei's eyes lit up, and he kept muttering, "There is someone dead in the family." Suddenly, there was a wild roar in my heart, "I have a way, thank you Sister Yun." “
"Eh" Yun Ling'er was stunned, and the words in her slightly open mouth were withdrawn, wondering, "What did I say." “
The old man frowned, "Boy, what family has died." “
Shi Lei came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly knelt on one knee and clenched his fists with both hands, "Senior, I'm afraid I really can't listen to you, after my parents died because of some accidents, I swore that I would not go to the mortal realm, I would not slash the enemy, and I would never consider lifelong events, so I am really grateful for the love of my predecessors." “
The old man's originally kind face suddenly became solemn, "You didn't lie to me?"
Shi Lei hurriedly raised the sky with one hand, "There is no deception, otherwise the sky will thunder." I was secretly happy in my heart, anyway, I haven't been struck by lightning, it doesn't matter.
But at this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly heard a rumbling thunder.
Shi Lei was dumbfounded, ", it won't be so coincidental, don't split me." “
Everyone was also dumbfounded, constantly looking at the sky and then at Shi Lei, as if they were waiting for something.
At that moment, a blinding light streaked by, and with a deafening sound, lightning struck the valley.
Shi Lei closed his eyes sadly, "Your sister, is this thief God unable to get along with me, won't it be someone doing it again." “
The lightning did not fall on Shi Lei's head, but fell on a small tree not far away, and the entire small tree suddenly turned into ashes, which was completely different from the kind of power that Shi Lei was split before.
Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was a coincidence.
The old man was stunned for a moment and spoke, "Since this is the case, let's talk about this later." After speaking, he was a little interested, turned around and left, and the other old men also left boringly.
Wang Ping and the others hurriedly walked over and helped Shi Lei up.
"Boss Shi, are those oaths you just said true?" the monkey said in a very soft voice, for fear that others would hear it.
Wang Ping and the madman also carefully pricked up their ears.
Shi Lei's eyes widened, "Then don't you need to say, can this kind of thing be a joke?"
Then he saw that the attention of the people around him was completely off him, so he whispered, "Of course it's fake." “
"Cut" the three of them contempted at the same time.
"That thunder should have struck you just now. "The madman doesn't speak well, a little gloating.
Wang Ping looked at the small tree that had turned to ashes, a little stunned, and hurriedly pulled Shi Lei's sleeve, "Boss Shi, think about it, did you stand under that tree just now." “
Shi Lei also reacted, his face instantly frightened, ", isn't it, that one really hacked me, and it was the kind that could kill me at once." “
"But it seems to be drunk and sluggish, and you've come from there. The madman muttered.
Everyone was terrified.
Gu Daotian and many other people lived in the village, Shi Lei thought about it, it was better for him to stay away from the crowd, explain it to Gu Daotian, and turned around and walked towards the southernmost and most remote hut in the valley.
"Dad, I'll go with Boss Shi too. “
"Dad, I'll go too. “
Gu Daotian shook his head speechlessly, "There's only one room there, where did you live in the past?" “
But the two figures had disappeared, "Dad, don't worry about it, let's just find something to build on the occasion, and you can remember to arrange for us to eat at any time." The voice came slowly.
In front of the dilapidated cabin, Shi Lei smiled helplessly and looked at the group of people in front of him, "What are you all doing here, it's just such a big place." “
"Boss Shi, what you said is wrong, we are not following you, but the environment here is the most beautiful, and we also like it. “
The others nodded their heads, "Yes, monkey, that's right." “
"Okay, then you can do whatever you want, I'll go in first, just leave the food at the door, and tell them not to disturb me. “
After speaking, he turned around and walked into the hut behind him, and before he could close the door, a tender little hand appeared out of thin air.
He was startled, took a few steps back, saw the person clearly, and sighed, "I said, little sister, why are you coming in again." “
Gu Yue jumped up and down playfully, with her hands behind her back, "My brother said that there will often be accidents when you are cultivating, let me cultivate with you, watch you at any time, and prevent others from disturbing you." “
This reason really couldn't make him refuse, and he nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'm not afraid of others disturbing me, I'm afraid that you will disturb me." Then where do they cultivate?"
Gu Yue opened her mouth and replied, "There are trees here, they can just set up a few temporary huts nearby that can shelter from the wind and rain." “
Shi Lei pondered for a moment and said, "Gu Yue, you go out and talk to them, just set up a few temporary ones next to each other by this hut, don't get too far." “
Seeing Gu Yue's disappearing figure, Shi Lei looked around, the room was very simple, only a small bed against the wall and a futon in the middle that could sit on the ground, not so much magnificent, but at this moment, he believed that such a comfortable and calm would definitely help his next cultivation.
"Sister Yun, I want to let go of the Spirit Gathering Array a little bit, everyone can cultivate faster, can you?"
"Whatever you want, just don't alarm the old guys, and let your brothers get the food themselves when they need it. After all, the ancient clan has not been in contact for a long time, and the characters in it are also uneven, so it is better to be careful. “
Before it got dark, around Shi Lei's cabin, Wang Ping and Gucci set up a few shelves that could still see the shape of the house.
In this valley, there is no strong wind, and the temperature is always very comfortable, so as long as it is sheltered from the occasional rain, it is enough.
"In the future, you will have to cultivate here for a long time, no matter what you find, you can't say it, especially you Gucci, although you are the young patriarch of the ancient clan, but there are still many people in the ancient clan who have ghosts in their hearts, so let's be careful. “
Gucci saw that Shi Lei said so seriously, and nodded, "Boss Shi, I understand." “
Shi Lei glanced at everyone, "Then from now on, everyone will cultivate hard, there will be some things that will happen when you come back, you will understand if you think about it carefully, don't make a fuss, and don't say it" After speaking, he turned around and returned to his room.
The others returned to their places with doubts on their faces.
After a while, the spiritual vitality here slowly became stronger, and the entire ancient ancestral land slowly quieted down, and there were almost no figures in sight from beginning to end every day. Only the sounds of birds and beasts that came from time to time in the vicinity echoed in the sky like a paradise.
