Chapter VIII: Crisis
Different from Yang Ze's impression that the village must be an earthen wall and tile house, looking at Guyun Village from afar, it is like entering a kind of exquisite art palace, those wooden houses built of mahogany seem to have some natural beauty, the eaves have an upturned arc, and some of the tall towers used for blessings have a thick diameter of a person. On top of the tower, there are some spirit animal totems that show excellent carving craftsmanship.
It looks beautiful.
What's even more peculiar is that these houses are built in a staggered manner along the peak, winding all the way to the top of the mountain, like a skyscraper with countless rooms to the top. Towering into the sky.
Immediately, there was a sense of impact of exquisite and strange ancient civilizations.
Yang Ze knew that the realm of the earth and the sea was a mysterious and mixed place of dragons and snakes in the Great Ye Country, which was separated by a long waterway, and his old Yuan Shen had also praised this place, but Yang Ze still had a sense of admiration when he saw this border village of the Cloud Ting Realm for the first time. To a certain extent, the level of exquisite craftsmanship of these buildings is still higher than that of some buildings in the capital of King Daye, but I don't know how well the cultivation has developed here.
After such a momentary stunned, two figures immediately flashed in the surrounding forest. Suddenly, a sharp spear flew diagonally and thrust sharply into the ground in front of them.
The tip of the spear also carried a thin red ribbon, which trembled in the wind.
"Ahead is the Guyun Village, outsiders are grounded!" Two shirtless men, but wearing tight-fitting suits made of black satin, stepped out from between the trees.
"Outsiders are grounded!" The two of them showed some kind of invisible domineering, obviously the flying spear, and the words that were drunk just right, immediately set off the dismount to outsiders!
"Damn, the appearance momentum is very strong. Yang Ze said in his heart, the two men are both young people of twenty-seven or eight, obviously the martial artists of Guyun Village, of course, it is impossible not to know An Jie, Hua Xiao, Yun Na, and Hua Jun. Even if you don't know each other, you can know that it's your own person just by looking at the way you dress, but Yang Ze is obviously different. The "deterrence" shown by the two was obviously aimed at Yang Ze, an "outsider".
"Li Yuan, Li Zhange! I'm An Jie. An Jie hurriedly stepped forward and said.
First, a man named Li Yuan, who was bare with his arms muscles like carvings, said, "Nonsense, of course we know it's you." It's already a very serious matter for you to leave the activity area without permission, and it's enough to punish you severely if you don't have time to come back!
The person named Li Zhan next to him looked Yang Ze up and down provocatively, no matter how he looked at it, there was a demonstration of his ragged clothes, relatively speaking, "thin" "alternative" vigilance and invisible eyes.
Yang Ze's eyes turned slightly and looked at Li Zhan, and his eyes in the face of the other party's demonstration did not weaken at all. Not every place is as hospitable as a fairy tale, Yang Ze is not naΓ―ve to think that he is very popular, but he knows that in this kind of place where the strong are respected, if he behaves too cowardly at the beginning, maybe the next day may not be easy.
Li Zhan was probably a little surprised by Yang Ze's unflinching demeanor, but after all, he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, much older than Yang Ze, and he was also a young pillar warrior in the village, and he couldn't see this kind of jumping figure smaller than himself. looked at An Jie and pouted at Yang Zenu, "What's the matter with this person?"
The tone is condescending.
An Jie swallowed the Adam's apple a few times hard, and walked with Yang Ze all the way to somewhat dilute the fact that he killed the Blue Bear Beast, and now the adjacent village, the sense of belonging and substitution made him cheer up for that fact again, and tried to tell the story calmly, "He subdued the Blue Bear Beast with one punch! He is the one who was lost here in the storm of a distant country, and this time it was all because he helped us" To the back, no matter how much he wanted to tell calmly, he couldn't help but spit and splash, and there was an explanation of the two brothers Hua Xiao and Hua Jun complementing each other. Yun Na nodded repeatedly.
When the two warriors guarding the village looked at Yang Ze from left to right, they showed three points of surprise and three points of suspicion.
But when he saw his thinner body and ragged robes, his doubts immediately rose to seven points of serious skepticism.
Looking at the expressions of the two, An Jie simply took out the green bear beast claws weighing about twenty catties behind him from his skin and smashed them on the ground in front of him. It's like stomping a fat crucian carp on a cutting board.
Although the two guards have the right to deal with emergencies, they dare not be exclusive at this moment. Looking at each other solemnly, one of them stayed behind, and the other bent down slightly, and said, "Please wait a minute, I'll report to the elders." β
After going out hunting and training a safe area, they actually went to the area where the blue bear beast has been active recently, and An Jieyunna and the others, who had disappeared without a trace, came back. Not only did they come back, but they returned unharmed and unharmed from the area that had just been identified as dangerous. He even brought back the claws of the slain Blue Bear Beast, as well as the person who was said to be able to knock over the Blue Bear with his bare hands.
This has immediately caused Guyun Village to stir up, along the mountain full of red leaves and houses made of mahogany, and conveyed to the buildings on the top of the mountain.
"An Jie, who is An Jie? Mo is not the skinny little monkey who settled in the east. Why, he actually officially got a weapon, but compared to his peers, he was far behind. "On the road to Pokan, the women of the village met and talked about these things.
"Yun Na, I do know, this girl is very popular, and she almost didn't come back this time, because she moved so much. β
"That person really subdued the Blue Bear Beast by himself?" "This is impossible!" "The top five martial artists in the village didn't dare to say that they could subdue a Blue Bear Spirit Beast alone. What's more, I've heard that this man is not strong at all. Didn't they take advantage of Yun Na and An Jie to exhaust that spirit beast and pick up a leak?"
There are constant discussions below the skyscraper-like village along the mountain peak, and above the highest ancestral hall of Guyun Village, which is slightly clouded and foggy on the top of the mountain. Yang Ze was facing the scrutiny of a village elder.
The atmosphere above the hall was a little solemn.
Yang Ze glanced outside the hall, where there were many warrior guards standing with three-foot steel spears, standing upright, looking at the distant lofty mountains, where there were bursts of the roar of some unknown beast in the distance, so their eyes showed a kind of responsibility and firmness to protect the ancestral hall.
The fire lamps in the east, west, north and south corners of the hall illuminated the hall as if it were day, and in the deep space dozens of steps away, there were three rows of Guyun Village elders, and there were many figures in the clan. His demeanor was different, some of his hair was scattered unruly, some showed strong bodies, some had scars on his faces, and some were sitting cross-legged on the pier, all kinds of appearances looked at him.
Yang Ze is still a little funny when he thinks about it, although the realm of the earth and the sea is indeed a good place for training, but when he left Daye, he probably never thought that he would be scattered into the local villages.
He occasionally wondered about Daye's situation at the moment, what the situation was like, and whether Shinto Zhai was stronger. Knowing that he and the ship are out of disappearance, what will King Da Ye think? What is the mood of his parents Yang Hongyuan, Cheng Ying and grandfather Yang Ye in this world at this moment. I don't know what the situation is with the group of people of the same age who are already in the Autumn Road Academy at the moment. The eldest brother Yang Que, the second brother Yang Wenyuan, Xue Ran, Liu Qian, Da Ye Dong Sima, Dong Xuan and others who are not in line with their own fate are in the situation now, will they have started a colorful college life?
And now that her status and identity are even more difficult for ordinary people to reach, what will Ji Ling'er look like after returning to the West Camel Palace?
Yun Na's speech in the main hall of Guyun Village dragged him back to reality.
Only then did Yang Ze know that Yun Na was the granddaughter of an elder named Yun Sai who was present, and that their training team had been lost for nearly a day after leaving the safe area divided around the village, causing a shock in Guyun Village. The team that went out to look for them has changed batch after batch. When they finally came back, An Jie, Hua Xiao and others did not attend, and it is estimated that they have already been punished.
Above the main hall, I heard that Yun Na will come in 1510.
After a low uproar. As the village head, Hua Shuo spoke, "Everyone, what do you think?"
The expressions of the three elders of the Sect Association were extremely impatient, and one of them said, "What else can I say, no one can subdue the Blue Bear Beast with one punch, not to mention our Guyun Village, even some of the powerful Cloud Wanderer forces around it are unlikely to do it." So it's not credible. "This elder has a pair of carp eyes, his name is Bi Jian, he is one of the three chief elders of the clan association, Ping Yueli feels that even in front of the village chief, he can sit on an equal footing, not to mention that he has a lot of supporters when he speaks, and some people immediately nodded in agreement.
Then Bi Jian glared at Yun Na and said, "You also said that you threw all the paralysis liquid on that spirit beast before, presumably because it was already at the end of its strong crossbow chasing you, and it couldn't support it, and he only did it at that time, so that you could get away with it." β
Yang Ze glanced at the elder who spoke, saw the other party's disdainful expression, and thought to himself that I don't need you to look at me, and Lao Tzu doesn't have a good impression of you.
Village Chief Asus shook his head, "As far as I know, the Blue Bear Beast is rarely affected by our paralysis fluid. It is unlikely that it will be exhausted by the paralysis, and if it is so simple, why should we treat it as a great danger and subdue it with one punch, it is not impossible. We all know that the Blue Bear Beast's head is its most vulnerable place after the scaly armor of its head, and if it can find such an opportunity to hit its head at the right time, as long as it has enough ability, it is very likely to be subdued with one punch. It's just that no one has ever done it or tried."
A young man named Bi Gong next to him squeezed his fists arrogantly, got up and said with a smile, "Isn't it easy to verify? β
Bi Gong is the grandson of Elder Bi Jian, and he is the leader of a group of young people such as Li Yuan and Li Zhan, who were guarding the village warriors that Yang Ze met before. Just by looking at his ability to attend such meetings, he knows that his status is worthy of being the best of his age.
When I heard Li Yuan and Li Zhan talk about this kind of conference before, his first reaction was An Jie, Hua Xiao, these soft boys, don't want to mix, dare to blow such a big cowhide. I saw Yun Na talking about Yang Ze's faint excitement again. He has always had a good impression of Yun Na, and he is uncomfortable. And because of his always strong faction in the village, he immediately provoked Yang Ze, who was much younger than him.
After laughing at Yang Ze, Bi Gong was stunned, "This face is so tense that it can catch up with the cowhide to make war drums, and some people may still believe it next time when it is smaller." β
After the surrounding council hall was agitated, the village chief Hua Shuo shouted, "Sit back, on top of the main hall, what kind of system will it become!
The elder named Bi Jian was obviously a little dissatisfied with this reprimand, and said to Bi Gong with a half-smile, "You hurry up and sit back in front of this foreign powerhouse, there is no need for you to show our Guyun Village's bravery."
These words caused some people in the surrounding hall to laugh quietly, and it was even more playful to see Yang Ze's expression.
Yang Ze didn't bother to worry about the other party's internal bickering. Thinking that it would be better to finish the meeting as soon as possible, he still had to contact Daye's forces in Dihai as soon as possible to know what the current situation was like for Daye. And at the moment, this village is just a temporary rest.
"Young Cloud Wanderer, since you have come here and saved the people of our village, from now on, you are a friend of Guyun Village. Please take a good rest. ASUS nodded to Yang Ze. His eyes were on the claws of the green bear beast on the table in the middle of the main hall, and a trace of worry appeared between his eyebrows.
Looking at the audience, he said, "Recently, we have repeatedly found that there are top spirit beasts like the Green Bear Beast invading the territory, this is not a matter of one or two, but a large part of the information I have received, not only us, but some of the nearby Cloud Wanderer forces have also been attacked by the Blue Bear Beast, I am afraid that these Green Bear Beasts have fallen into a manic state."
There was a slight uproar among the people around. In the Cloud Court Realm, where human forces are weak, human beings generally do not have the strength to compete with fierce spirit beasts, and most of them rely on wisdom, traps, and the cost of human casualties to gain a foothold.
A blue bear beast is enough to arouse the vigilance and attention of the whole village. Now the surrounding green bear beasts are in a frenzy. It's enough to make people miserable.
"The blue bearmons are in a frenzy, I'm afraid they are scared, fleeing from something!" a man said warily.
"What is it that makes a powerful spirit beast like the Blue Bear Beast flee?" someone muttered.
Hua Shuo faced everyone, suppressed this discussion, shook his head, and said, "At present, I don't know what these green bear beasts are afraid of, what are they fleeing from Yesterday, our search team has returned, it can be determined that according to the law of the recent spirit beast's restlessness, no matter what it is, it seems to be approaching the location of our village."
There was a bang and a shock.
Some are silent, some are alarmed. Yang Ze only looked at them like this, and he understood that the village had been suppressed too much by the spirit beasts here for a long time, so many people's eyes were full of fear of the unknown.
"Either way, the road ahead is not going to be smooth, so let's start today. Strengthen the guard of the sentinel, and at the same time, every household must be ready for a large mobilization at any time Guyun Village and enter the highest alert!"
When he walked out at the end of the temple meeting, the village chief Hua Shuo arranged for Yang Ze to stay in the place, he obviously had some demeanor and elegant background, looked at Yang Ze with peaceful eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you came all the way to the village, and you actually encountered such a thing in the village After today, the village will enter a state of alert, and there are some things that are not well taken care of, and I hope to take care of it."
"It doesn't matter, wanderers, it's very satisfying to have a place to rest. Yang Ze smiled. It's just that I didn't expect that just next to this village, before the butt was hot, there was a seemingly small crisis here.
