Chapter 3 "Death" Chapter 131 Accompanied by two lips, no one tells the story of loneliness
"What others...," the old man shook his head, "hehe... There is no one in this Jinguang Village for a long time, and only the old man and I are left..."
This old man may be the reason for his age, and his speech is intermittent and incoherent, and it took a few people a long time to understand. Since the disappearance of Jinsha Temple, every once in a while, there are people who gang up to find something, but every time they return in vain.
There was no harvest on the mountain, so they naturally had to come down the mountain to look for clues, but they didn't know anything except that the name of the village had a golden letter. At first, the people who came here were quite talkative, and even helped the villagers when they saw that they were living in difficulty. But gradually, the matter of Jinsha Temple also attracted a lot of people with bad intentions, Jinguang Village was naturally persecuted, miserable, in order to save his life, he had to leave his hometown and move out of here...
This old man was alone, without any worries, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, if he tossed like this, I was afraid that he would die on the road before he found a place to live, so he simply stayed, guarding this lonely little village alone, until I met them today...
Hearing this, the third prince also frowned, but he didn't expect that the matter of the Five Elements Ding was deeply involved, and even this small village on the far edge was miserably implicated, and he sighed again and again.
"Old man, do you know what these people are looking for in Jinsha Temple?" asked Yuya, although she didn't report any hope.
"It's... This one... Old man Rong thinks about it..."The old man tilted his head and fell into deep thought while knocking on the table, and suddenly his hand stopped, "Hey, by the way... I seem to remember such a thing..."The old man straightened up and slowly recalled...
Since the disappearance of Jinsha Temple, I don't know how many people to investigate, and the villagers have long been used to it, but this time the breath of a group of people is very cold, which makes people feel very uncomfortable, and the villagers talk about it in groups, so that the village chief will persuade them to leave early.
Because of the remote location of this place, it takes several days to travel back and forth, and everyone who passes through here is accustomed to begging for a bowl of water to drink, and these people are naturally no exception, although the cold breath makes people uncomfortable, but they are still arranged by the village chief to take a short rest in a room. He estimated that the time was about the same, so he gritted his teeth and prepared to persuade these people to leave according to the wishes of the villagers, but when he came to the door, he heard a conversation from inside, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of curiosity, and he approached his ears.
But just as he was close to his ear, he only heard a crisp sound in his ear, and a cup exploded in his ear. He thought that he had been discovered, and his face was also pale, and he was hesitating whether to kneel down and beg for mercy, but he heard a reprimand from inside the room, but the voice was not directed towards him, so he relieved himself. waited until the conversation sounded again, and then looked inside.
Originally, these people were covered with black scarves and couldn't see their faces clearly, but at this time, because they wanted to drink water and rest, they naturally took them off. However, a few people surrounded the city, and the few people who turned their backs to themselves blocked the faces of those people on the opposite side, although they could not see the faces of those people, but fortunately, they were not discovered.
Following the sound of conversation inside, he poked his head inside, and found that it was the man who spoke just now, although this person was in the room, he was also very cautious with a hood, covering most of his face, although he couldn't see through it, but he saw that this person's face was full of red light, but his beard was extremely white, and he looked quite old.
This person did not speak in a hurry, but the people on both sides bowed their heads deeply, and they did not dare to breathe, and they seemed to be very afraid of this person. Although he couldn't see all the decorations on the table, only this man had no cup in front of him, and his hands were full of water stains.
As he spoke, the hooded man took off the wrench on his right thumb and carefully wiped the water marks on his hand. The village chief casually looked at the man's hand, but saw that the position covered by the man's fingers actually showed a pattern in the shape of a wolf's head.
"I didn't like to repeat it, but you people are really inappropriate, so I have to say a few more words, if after this time, you still haven't found out, I don't mind changing to a new batch!" The hooded man spoke slowly and logically, but his tone was calm, but full of murderous intent, which made him feel cold and kicked over the barrel at the door with a click.
When he came back to his senses, the men in black had already surrounded him, and a figure was standing in front of him.
He was frightened, and he held his head in his arms and begged for mercy, saying that he had just come to deliver water and accidentally knocked over the barrel, hoping that you would spare his life. The man laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hands to gently help him up, and intimately dusted off his body.
He looked up tremblingly, only to see that the hooded man had already put on his mask, leaving only two eyes, but his eyes were full of concern, compared to just now. But he was so frightened that he picked up the barrel and hurried away, but fortunately he never saw these figures again...
"Judging from his description, these people may be from the Wutu Cave, but this Wutu Cave should only listen to the Witch King's dispatch, who is this adult?" Mu Fengchun found the clue and muttered to himself.
"Old man, apart from the strange actions of these people, what did you overhear?" Yu Ya ignored Mu Fengchun and continued to ask while the old man was still conscious.
"Alas... At that time, I only cared about saving my life, and I didn't dare to mention it to others, but now that the old man is old, life and death have long been downplayed, and it doesn't hurt to tell you these things in my heart..."The old man smiled bitterly a few times, evened out his breath, and continued: "... I probably heard that a son of the Jin family in the capital got something that he shouldn't have, and as a result, he got into trouble and was exterminated. These people were because they heard that before the Jin family was wiped out, an old slave sent something to Jinsha Temple, and they suspected that it might be that kind of thing, so these latter things happened..."
"Could it be that what they are looking for is the Five Elements Ding?" The third prince had probably heard about the Jin family, but he didn't expect that the former big family would be wiped out just because of one thing, and he was also a little embarrassed.
"Most likely... But it's a little strange..."Mu Fengchun nodded, "This old brother, no one has really come to this village in these years?"
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched when he heard the word old brother, but he didn't defend himself, and said lightly: "This place was originally called Riguang Village, and there were not a few families at the beginning, but it was only because of Jinsha Temple that good men and women settled down at the foot of the mountain and changed its name to Jinguang Village... Since the disappearance of Jinsha Temple, it has suffered another accident, and the people in the village can't bear to leave one after another, except for the little monk... How dare anyone come to this place to suffer?"
"Little monk, what little monk?" everyone asked in unison.
"Ahh It's the little monk of Jinsha Temple... Didn't the old man tell you just now? Ouch, old fool, really old fool..."The old man beat his chest in frustration and blamed himself for a while, and then continued: "It was probably more than a year ago... One day, when the old man went to fetch water, he met a little monk with a melancholy expression, and the old man saw that he was melancholy, and thought that he had come from afar to seek scriptures to no avail, so he took him back here to rest. Who knew that he went up the mountain again early the next morning, and did not return lonely until the evening... In this way, more than half a month passed, one day the old man only felt the golden light on the Jinsha Temple, but disappeared in the blink of an eye, only as an old dazzle, but that evening never saw the little monk again... Maybe he finally returned willingly, and the old man didn't take it to heart..."
"Do you know what the little monk is called, and what direction he is probably going?" said Yuya as if she had caught something.
"This... The little monk always looked preoccupied, and never spoke, the old man naturally never asked, and the old man naturally didn't know anything else... But when he first came, he was covered in blood, and he was holding a shovel, and he looked murderous, which scared the old man a lot..."
"Yuanhua!" You Ya and Mu Fengchun glanced at each other and exclaimed.
"Ah, the old man is very simple, he tells the truth, why do you say that the old man is sleek?"
"Don't get me wrong, old man, we just remembered a friend of ours, not you. Yuya quickly explained.
"Oh ha... I see... It's the old man who is too careful, alas... The old man's face softened a little, and he finally stood up, his body bones clicking. He slowly walked up to Youya, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder, touched her head again, and couldn't help but praise: "This girl is really well-behaved, my daughter is almost this old, but it's a pity that it's difficult to meet again..."
Hearing this, everyone was sentimental, but Jin Zhu'er was very annoyed, she had obviously hidden behind Youya, and the old guy even patted his shoulder and touched his head and fell on him. Seeing Jin Zhu'er's aggrieved appearance, everyone was amused, but they didn't dare to make a sound at this time, and their faces were flushed.
The old man didn't notice the strangeness of everyone at all, and said pitifully: "Alas... If I can hear someone call me daddy, even if the old man dies now, it will not be in vain for his life..."Speaking of sadness, the old man wiped his tears, his body was a little more rickety, and he looked very lonely, "Girl, can the old man ask you for something?"
When Jin Zhu'er saw the old man's state, her heart softened a little, and she said firmly.
"Old man, I know what you mean, please describe your daughter's characteristics to me, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish!"
