Chapter 288: Death Falls
There are quite a lot of "residents" in Wowo Village, most of them are half-human and half-demon border people, who can see that their intelligence is normal, they can take care of their own lives, and they have to take care of those border people who have demon bodies but don't have much sanity, Li Xiaobai felt troublesome, so he called them demon people. Demon descendants, demon people, border people, it's as simple as that.
The demons of the Tu Shan clan are very recognizable, all white foxes, and foxes in nature rarely have this color. The demons of the Xiangliu clan are not very easy to recognize, the blue-green snake, there are big and small, whether it is big or small, it seems that it is easy to be confused with some snakes, the south is rich in vegetation, as small as the grass flower snake and the big python are this color, you don't know what he is when you meet a snake on the road.
However, Tu Shanmu said: "I won't be mistaken, the border people are of the same vein as us, and there is an aura that you humans can't distinguish, and the nearby snakes have long been driven away by us." ”
It turned out that Li Xiaobai was too worried, a group of people walked into the village, Li Xiaobai saw from a distance that there was a "Z" shaped road on the cliff, and there was a bronze door more than ten meters high dozens of meters from the ground, which was closed, and it was very old, and I didn't know what was inside.
However, Tu Shanmu did not take Li Xiaobai there, but walked through the winding country road, and came to a very large bamboo building, six stories high, completely built with bamboo, and there were also bamboos planted next to it, and there was an indescribable fresh fragrance everywhere, which smelled very comfortable, no wonder the ancients would say that they would rather eat no meat than live without bamboo.
Opening the door of the bamboo building, a large group of fluffy white foxes, about twenty or so, rushed out of it, rubbing and licking at a group of people. It's a demon people. There were also more than a dozen green snakes with thin wrists hiding in the room and not gushing out. Compared to foxes, they are a little shy.
Li Xiaobai noticed that in this group of foxes, there was a fox with a special look in his eyes, or he was sneaky, I believe that Tu Shanmu and Tu Shanhong, Xiang Liuyang, and Xiang Liuyin behind him all noticed it, but no one broke it.
Tu Shanmu put a fox that jumped into his arms on the ground and said, "Okay, okay, good, you three little ones." Let's play with the little ones first, and I will go upstairs with the guests. ”
"Okay, Uncle Clan." Tushan Hongdao.
"Okay, village chief." Xiang Liuyang and Xiang Liuyin said at the same time.
Tu Shanmu took Li Xiaobai to the second floor, and the fox with sneaky eyes also followed, Tu Shanmu didn't reply, and directly scolded: "It's out, I dizzy my aunt, right, and I came here in a big circle." It still doesn't return to the human body, what does it look like to be sneaky? ”
This sneaky fox is not who Tu Shannu is. Seeing that his grandfather had spoken, he obediently turned back into a human body. didn't make any trouble, and followed Li Xiaobai quietly, but Li Xiaobai always felt that there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at the back of his head, almost shooting through.
The first floor of the bamboo building is a place to eat, and the second floor is a living room, and there are no modern furniture, not because they have no money, but to pursue a quaint life. A group of people went up to the third floor, here is mainly the room, the south is humid and hot, the bamboo building is overhead, can effectively isolate the water vapor, and people live a little higher, there is also a little wind, good to enjoy the cool, sleep comfortably at night.
The door of one of the large rooms was open, and a gray-haired grandmother sat on a bamboo chair and embroidered a dress, a bright red Miao women's dress, embroidered with various festive patterns, this is a wedding dress, and the grandmother's legs are a long green snake tail, on which many strange scars can be faintly seen.
"Grandma, you are embroidering this dress again, how many times have you said it, Anu doesn't want it, Anu will accompany you for the rest of your life." Tu Shannu walked past Li Xiaobai and Tu Shanmu, snuggled up to the old grandmother's lap and said coquettishly.
The old grandmother touched Tu Shannu's hair and said: "Silly girl, girls always have to get married when they are older, just say stupid things, don't make trouble, grandma embroiders the wedding dress early, you can wear it early, it must be beautiful." When I looked up, I saw that my wife was back, and with a guest, I put aside the work in my hand, and said a little apologetically: "Don't mind the guest, the old body and legs are not very flexible, feel free, treat this place as your home." ”
Li Xiaobai smiled kindly, he knew why he hadn't said anything yet, but Tu Shanmu brought him here directly, this old grandmother's leg was strangely injured. It not only affected her activities, but also affected her life, looking at her situation, if there is no effective way, I am afraid that she will not be able to live for a few years. No wonder he was in such a hurry to embroider a wedding dress for Tu Shannu, because he was afraid that he would not see his granddaughter get married.
Tu Shanmu didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "This is my wife, Xiang Liuzhen, about thirty years ago, a group of Nanyang head descenders were assigned to go to Huaguo to make trouble, and we received information before the dragon group. We have lived on this land for so many years, how could we let these people mess around, so we led a group of clansmen to set a trap on the Sino-Vietnamese border to catch them all. It was going well, and the highest strength in that group of head lowering divisions was only A-level, and I didn't take it seriously...... But who knows, carelessly, the group of head lowerers committed suicide en masse, and sacrificed flesh and blood to give Ah Zhen a death, and it became what it is now. ”
The tone was full of remorse, wishing that it was himself who had fallen to death, and continued: "Over the years, the two patriarchs have tried many methods, but they are of little use, but they are not of much use, so they can only die better than drag them out." I've heard of a man named Kunlun Lao Dao before, but our patriarch said that this person is eager to achieve quick success and quick profit when he practices martial arts, and he is good at killing people, and there is no hope of saving people. Later, Kunlun Lao Dao died, and I heard that there was a man named Qingfeng Dao, but that kid was said to have relied on a very powerful flying sword to raise his strength, not to mention it. ”
Turned to look at Li Xiaobai and said: "Later, I heard about Mr. Li's name again, it is said that Mr. Li's master is a real master outside the world, unlike us who hide and dare not see people, the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, and the one who was originally in the Pacific Ocean and is now out of the earth still has a deep relationship." Mr. Li's methods are also endless, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds in just a few years, but unfortunately Mr. Li is too busy and has never had the opportunity to meet. ”
"Now I don't know why Mr. Li suddenly came to our remote village, but since he came, let me help the poor old man take a look at my wife's situation, not to mention whether it is cured well or not, as long as Mr. Li does his best, no matter what Mr. Li came to our village for, as long as it is within the old man's ability, the old man will never say a word."
said it sincerely, and did not say it to death, lest Li Xiaobai would be embarrassed if he could not be cured, and lest Li Xiaobai would make some outrageous demands after he was cured. It is said that people become old and fine, normal human beings are like this, and Tu Shan, who is still young in his 60s, is even more so, no wonder there is another old saying to describe this kind of person - the old fox.
This thing is an old fox at all, like it's free.
Li Xiaobai said good, he didn't dare to say big things in advance, he hadn't been in contact with Nanyang's head-lowering technique, but he had heard some rumors, it was rumored that it was evil, and if you were not careful, you would die, and a group of not weak head-lowering masters died at the cost of their lives, don't be careless.
Running the energy protection hands of "Wanmu Decision", Li Xiaobai squatted down and gently touched Xiang Liuzhen's snake tail, there was nothing abnormal, and Li Xiaobai could see the strange scars on it clearly, it was a distorted human face, and asked: "Grandma Xiang Liuzhen, will it hurt?" ”
Xiang Liuzhen shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, I don't feel it at all." ”
If you don't have feelings, it's a bit difficult to do, feeling is the body's instinctive response mechanism, and it won't react, so it's almost like a piece of dead meat. Li Xiaobai controlled the energy in his hand and slowly entered Xiang Liuzhen's snake tail, and found that the snake tail not only had a lot of human face scars on the surface, but also had a lot of face-like tissues inside it, growing next to the tendons and blood vessels, opening his mouth wide and constantly devouring Xiang Liuzhen's blood and energy, as well as Li Xiaobai's energy.
At this rate of devouring, it is still unknown how long Xiang Liuzhen can live, either from energy exhaustion or from blood depletion, no matter what, it will be extremely painful. (To be continued......)
