Chapter Seventy-Six: The Warlock
Zhang Feng observed the words and saw that this girl was not sincere in treating his injuries, thinking that he had hurt his brother, it was inconvenient to plead more, so he thanked him dryly, and returned to the room silently with the wooden box.
The wooden box contained the medicinal powder, and there was a pungent smell of the medicine after opening, he sat on the edge of the couch, holding the wooden box, staring at the medicinal powder and hesitating for a while, and finally mustered up the courage, endured the severe pain, scraped the blood scab at the wound with his fingers, and when new blood spilled, he pinched a pinch of the medicinal powder and pressed it to the bleeding place.
The powder dissolved immediately when it met the blood, and soon penetrated into the depths of the wound, but the pain did not decrease but increased, and he gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
At last, when the blood clotted again, he ran to the kitchen bare-necked, boiled a pot of hot water, put it in a wooden basin and brought it to the room, washed himself, put on a clean jacket, and was refreshed again.
The medicinal powder Mu Yixin gave him had a miraculous effect, and the pain disappeared on the same day, so he became more confident in the medical skills of the divine doctor, and since then he has lived in the medicine village with peace of mind, waiting for the divine doctor to remove the blood and qi problems that have plagued him for many years.
In a medicine village in Nuoda, in addition to the patients who came here to wait for the rash, there were only Mu Yixin, the miracle doctor, and the hunchbacked old woman.
The miracle doctor is not idle all day long, Mu Yixin has been treating him with a cold face, and the only one who can occasionally gossip a few words is the old woman, who treated him lukewarmly at first, but later because he was familiar with it, he also became enthusiastic, and sometimes he would open a small stove and cook some delicious food for him with the treasures sent by the patient.
Zhang Feng has always known how to be polite, and after receiving the favor of the old woman, he was extra diligent to help her take care of the chores in the medicine house, chopping firewood, carrying water, and being busy.
On this day, he followed the old woman to a low mountain behind the medicine village to pick wild mountain fruits that only ripen in the cold season, and on the way, the old woman came coldly: "Doll, your temperament is different from your father and your mother!"
There was no foreshadowing when he said this, Zhang Feng was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he asked curiously: "Mother-in-law, have you seen my father and my mother?"
The old woman walked up the hillside with a bamboo cane, without raising her head, and said with a sigh: "It was many years ago! When they came here, your mother was pregnant, and she should have carried you in her belly. There was also an old monster who came with them, I don't know what he provoked, he was only one step away from being devoured, and he relied on some vague spells to protect his mind, so crazy that he was not crazy, but he only knew how to sit stupidly all day long, and even needed someone to feed him with a spoon even when he ate. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Your father and mother are kind, but they are very withdrawn, so it's better for you, don't think I'm an old woman, and you're willing to talk to me." ”
Zhang Feng laughed a few times and asked, "You said that the old monster was devoured by the soul, what is the matter? Even the divine doctor can't save him?" He may be worried about being devoured by the soul, so he is particularly concerned about this matter, and after asking, he also pulled the old woman's sleeve, hoping that she can reply quickly.
The old woman was stunned and said: "You don't care about your father and mother, but you are anxious to inquire about that old monster, but you really don't have a conscience! However, that old monster also has something to do with you, he is your father's master, so he can be regarded as your ancestor, if he is still alive, according to the rules of your warlock sect, you have to kowtow when you see him." ”
These words made Zhang Feng even more confused, could it be that his father and mother were warlocks?
The teachers of the Immortal Sect School Hall in Cliff City looked down on the warlock, thinking that it was a kind of person who was tricky, he was influenced by the teacher, and he also felt that the warlock was unreliable since he was a child, and at this moment he heard that he was the descendant of the warlock, and his heart was quite uncomfortable.
The old woman didn't know what he was thinking, she looked at him teasingly, as if she was smiling, and then said: "Warlocks are very rare in this world, including you, I have only seen four in my life, and they are all a litter of people, and they are really destined." ”
Zhang Feng waved his hand again and again: "I'm not a warlock, I have been attending classes in the Immortal Sect Academy since I was a child, and I am a disciple of the Immortal Sect." ”
The old woman muttered, "The descendants of warlocks are all warlocks, this is the connection of fate, and you can't change it." ”
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and concentrated on walking, and Zhang Feng asked her what to say, but she didn't answer.
It wasn't until she went up the hill, sat down on a big rock, took out a gray cloth sweat towel from her pocket, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and wiped the sweat on her forehead, that the old woman spoke again: "Doll, warlocks know too many secret things, which are often the source of great disasters. ”
Zhang Feng became more and more puzzled, squatted in front of the old woman, and asked, "Do warlocks like to cause trouble?"
The old woman replied, "It's not trouble, it's themselves woe." When your ancestor came to Yishan City, he was already a half-mad person, but many people still refused to let him go, and chased him all the way to this medicine village, so that they could get the secret hidden in his heart, and they would not stop after his death, and tore up his corpse and took it away. ”
This remark was too shocking, Zhang Feng was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't even let go of the corpse, how ruthless was that?
The old woman let out a long sigh, and then said: "The poor divine doctor almost died in order to protect him, and finally had to make a covenant that he would not be able to leave Yishan City for the rest of his life. My old man died at that time, and his head was knocked out, and it took me a lot of effort to recognize him from the pile of dead people. ”
Speaking of this, the old woman pointed to a mountain recess in the distance, "It was originally a mountain, but in the great battle, the rocks were shattered and became what it is now. ”
Zhang Feng looked in the direction she was pointing, and noticed that the mountain recess did not look like it was naturally formed, and the concave walls were extremely uneven, covered with the edges and corners of the stones.
Although it was a bit far away, based on the experience he had accumulated since he was a child, he could barely estimate the size of the mountain recess, which was about three miles wide from north to south and about five miles from east to west. As far as the mountain is concerned, such a scale is not large, but a good mountain was beaten into a mountain depression, and the battle of that year must have been quite tragic!
He stared at the recess, his heart shook, and he muttered, "Who were the people back then?"
The old woman said: "Of course they are some ruthless characters! The top masters of the ten largest gangs in the penal colony can dominate any of them, and there are more than a hundred such people at once. However, they did not bargain much, and after that battle, only twenty or thirty people survived. ”
Zhang Feng was thoughtful when he heard this, was silent for a moment, and said: "My mother is still soft-hearted, if it is me, I must finish off all those people." ”
The old woman said, "Baby, do you think it was your mother who killed those people? Although the host of the beast is invincible, it is very dangerous in the chaos of war. She can resist telekinetic attacks and incorporate incoming weapons into her illusion, but if someone attacks her from behind, she will die if she is not careful. ”
With that, he stood up, picked up the bamboo cane and moved his legs, and slowly walked towards the wild orchard in the distance.
Zhang Fengzheng listened to the excitement, put his arm around the old woman and asked, "Did the divine doctor kill them?"
The old woman said lightly: "The divine doctor has never killed anyone in his life, even in such a crisis, he also abides by the rules set by his ancestors, leaves room for action, and never takes people's lives." Moreover, even if the divine doctor is willing to kill, he can't deal with so many powerful characters. ”
Zhang Feng was really confused at this time, and asked again: "Who killed it?" Is it my father?"
The old woman snorted coldly and said, "Your father, just a coward, how can he have such ability? As soon as those people arrived, your father fled behind your mother's back." ”
When Zhang Feng heard this, he immediately disdained his father, he smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more. In my heart, I had already guessed that it should be the old woman's wife who solved those wicked people back then, and I couldn't help but have more respect for the old woman.
At this time, I heard the old woman say: "Speaking of which, your ancestor is also a character, although most of those people were killed by him after he became a demon, but before he became a demon, at least a dozen of them were solved. ”
Zhang Feng was stunned and said, "Mother-in-law, I don't understand what you said." Didn't you just say that my ancestor had already become a fool when he came here? How can a foolish person fight with someone?"
The mother-in-law said lightly: "He is not really simple, but because he wants to wash his mind with the Soul Breaking Spell, he is just forgetting himself for a while, and he was forced to wake up early when the situation is urgent, and then he completely destroyed his will in the Great War and became a real soul eater, which is what everyone often calls a human demon." ”
