Chapter 123: The Village
Xiang'er drove the streamer, her eyes stared at the ground, her divine sense had already been fully opened, looking for the past little by little, the range of two hundred miles had also turned into two areas to find, if usually, you could walk all over in the blink of an eye, but now it took more than an hour.
Frustrated, the streamer fell, Xiang'er pouted, and angrily kicked the small stone on the ground.
Just now I bragged about the cowhide in front of Brother Xiaohu, and after a while, the cowhide blew up.
Where the hell is this hateful teleportation array? Xiang'er hated it so much.
This gathering place is a small mortal village, here Xiang'er rained down a streamer at the head of the village, and a large group of people were already kneeling at the other end, one by one, trembling, I don't know what kind of wind is hanging today, and the monk has been summoned.
An old man walked out of the crowd tremblingly on crutches and knelt down a few meters away.
"Little old man meets the adult"
Xiang'er was angry here, and suddenly an old man came to disturb her, and said angrily, "Okay, who are you?"
"The little old man is the patriarch of this village" The old man didn't dare to raise his head, and replied respectfully.
Xiang'er glanced at it, didn't pay attention, frowned and wondered if she had missed something.
A large group of people next to him knelt quietly on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out, but the children who loved to cry the most were tightly covered by their parents, for fear that one would anger the adults.
It turned out that there was talk and laughter, and the village where people came and went, suddenly became as quiet as a ghost, and occasionally there was a little smell of burnt cooking at home in the air.
The old man was old, and after a while, his knees ached, and big drops of sweat flowed down, and he wanted to ask this monk what he was doing, but he didn't dare to say it when the words came to his lips, so he could only hold on hard.
Of course, the elder of the clan has seen the monk, even the Jindan monk has also seen it, but such a young Jindan monk is really the first time to see it, and he keeps guessing in his heart, this is definitely cultivated by a big family, but his experience is limited, no matter what he thinks, he can't think of any family with this good ability.
In the distance, Zhang Xiaohu ran over with a small basin of smoke.
Seeing Xiang'er's pouting mouth, Zhang Xiaohu knew that there was no result.
He laughed and pinched his little face, "How is it?"
Xiang'er pouted, squirming and holding for a long time, then whispered, "Not yet."
Xiao Basin gave a thumbs up to the side and said stupidly, "It's still the master who is amazing, I and the master haven't found it, and there is hope when I get to the sister."
Xiang'er was so angry that she glared at Xiao Basin, her face was full of fierce light, and Xiao Basin trembled with fright, and shrunk her neck, wondering how a good word of praise could anger her aunt.
Zhang Xiaohu didn't care at all, if it was so easy to find, then the people in this world would already know where the teleportation array was, and a few people would need to look for it all over the world, and besides, you can't stop the topic here at this time, or Xiang'er will blow up the nest.
Looking at the kneeling old man on the ground, Zhang Xiaohu asked suspiciously, "Who is this and why are you kneeling here?"
"It seems to be some kind of clan elder here," Xiang'er said casually.
As a qi practitioner, he has long been accustomed to the respect that mortals have for them, and when he sees it, he treats it as air.
Zhang Xiaohu glared at Xiang'er, took a few steps forward, and helped the old man up with both hands, "Old man, please get up quickly"
The old man secretly glanced at Xiang'er, and saw that the monk did not react, so he stood up with Zhang Xiaohu's strength.
Although the person in front of him knew at a glance that he was not a monk, but when Zhang Xiaohu came from a distance just now, the old man could see it clearly.
Obviously, it was just a step, but that step was dozens of meters away, and the old man's eyes were dizzy, but this person could still see clearly, it turned out to be just a black spot, and before he could rub his eyes, the figure came to him, although this person was not a Qi Practitioner, but definitely a Body Refiner.
Although this body refiner is not as good as a qi practitioner, it is not something that a small village can afford to provoke, and don't you see that the monk is also well-behaved and clever in front of this body refiner?
The old man was already a fine man, and the moment Zhang Xiaohu helped him up, countless thoughts turned in his mind.
"Thank you, sir" After the clan elder got up, he bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu frowned and looked at the kneeling crowd around him, waved his hand and said, "What are you kneeling here for, let them disperse, what should they do?"
"Yes, Mr. Xie"
The clan elder thanked Zhang Xiaohu first, and then turned around and shouted, "My lord has an order, everyone is dispersed."
The crowd kowtowed, and then they got up, and did not dare to speak, but quietly dispersed, but in a short time there were all kinds of voices from afar, and the cry of the child, which had been suppressed for a long time, and the eager sound of the woman shouting to pull out the firewood from the stove, as if suddenly the village had come back to life.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu watching all this with interest, the clan elder stepped forward with a smile on his face, "A group of ignorant children make adults laugh."
Zhang Xiaohu shook his head, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, it's very kind, it's like home."
The patriarch smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, but he didn't know that Zhang Xiaohu remembered home at this time, if he hadn't left, the village would be like this at this time.
There were still a few old men around the clan elder who did not retreat, and at this time he quietly pushed the clan elder and motioned him to step forward and ask clearly, why did this adult suddenly come to the small village, but don't get into any trouble.
If you don't understand this moment, your heart will not be at peace for a moment.
The clan elder thought for a moment, walked up stubbornly, bowed down and asked, "I would like to ask why the adults are here, and what do you need to serve?"
If it weren't for the fact that he saw Zhang Xiaohu's easy-to-talk appearance, he would have dismissed everyone as soon as he came, and he wouldn't dare to come forward to ask more questions after beating the clan elders.
"It's okay, just find something, you can go with your business"
Zhang Xiaohu and Xiang'er were busy looking at the map, and when they heard the clan elder talking, they replied casually.
The patriarch's eyes lit up, looking for something?
With a dry cough, the clan elder realized that something was wrong, this was not a lesson in the clan, but a few monks in front of him.
The clan elder smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly said, "This, I don't know what the adults are looking for, the little old man has lived here for decades, not to mention anything else, he still knows this area very well, and he must be able to help the adults."
As soon as these words came out, it was the turn of this little tiger's eyes to light up, and even the little Xiang'er's eyes turned around, and her big eyes stared at the clan elder tightly, so frightened that the old man shuddered, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Zhang Xiaohu groaned for a while, thought about the wording, and then asked the old man, "I don't know if the old man has ever seen such jade?"
After speaking, he glanced at Xiang'er and motioned to take out the jade fragments in the storage bag for the clan elder to recognize.
"Don't dare, don't dare, just call the little old man"
The clan elder bowed in fear, not daring to bear the title of this adult.
Then he looked up at the jade in Xiang'er's hand, squinted for a while, but his old eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see the small jade in his hand from a few meters away, and said embarrassedly, "I don't know if I can let Xiao Lao'er watch it closely?"
Xiang'er waited for the patriarch to say that she had seen it, but she didn't expect to wait for a long time, but she wanted to watch it closely, so she couldn't help but pout, and unhappily slapped the jade in her hand in the patriarch's hand.
The clan elder took the jade tremblingly, looked at it carefully, and what he was most afraid of at this time was that he had never seen it.
Just now, he couldn't see clearly, and he annoyed the monk, and if he hadn't seen it, I'm afraid the whole village would suffer.
The clan elder couldn't wait to beat himself in the mouth, and he stood aside for nothing, but he wanted to be courteous, and now it's okay.
His eyes turned on the jade in confusion, looked at it for a while, and then closed his eyes again, as if he remembered something.
The patriarch turned his head and said to a few people behind him, "Call those two babies over."
"Second baby?"
A few people were stunned, but soon one of them walked back and shouted loudly.
After a while, a seven or eight-year-old baby ran over, looking at the clan elder with a nervous face, his hand tightly grasping the corner of his clothes, not knowing what trouble he had caused.
The patriarch looked at Xiaowa kindly, took out the jade in his hand and put it in front of Xiaowa, and said gently, "Second baby, I remember that you once got a piece of jade last year, but it's the same as this?"
It's not that the clan elder is kind, but he is afraid of scaring the little baby, in case he is dazzled, the whole village will be miserable.
The second baby glanced at the jade, then raised his head and said, "It's the same, old ancestor."
The clan elder was overjoyed, and said in a trembling voice, "This is no joke, second baby, you take a closer look."
Although the second baby didn't understand why he had to look at it again, he didn't dare to provoke the ancestor, so he honestly looked down for a while, and then looked up and said, "It's really the same as what I picked up."
Only then did the clan elder put his mind at ease, and turned his head happily to look at Zhang Xiaohu and the others, "Congratulations, my lord, I have a clue."
Zhang Xiaohu on the side had already heard it and understood, and he also knew why the old man was happy, so he smiled, and then asked, "Xiaowa, where did you find the jade, but it's still there?"
The second baby looked at the clan elder, and saw that the clan elder didn't speak, so he whispered, "Yes, but it was put away by my father, saying that he wanted to ask for a daughter-in-law for me after exchanging money."
The clan elder couldn't cry or laugh, and slapped the back of the second baby's head, "If you don't go back and get it quickly, just say that the adults want to see it"
The second baby covered the back of his head, responded aggrievedly, turned around and ran back to the village.
Xiao Basin said excitedly, "It's still the master who is amazing, and I found the teleportation array in a few words."
Zhang Xiaohu sighed, "I found it, but it's also a bad one, so I can't use it."
Xiao Basin asked suspiciously, "I haven't seen this yet, how does the master know that it can't be used?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by a violent shiver in his head.
Xiang'er looked at him with disgust, "Why did your master fall in love with you, stupid to death?"
Xiao Penzi looked at Xiang'er innocently, she didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, why was she beaten.
"It's all fragmented, you said that the teleportation array can still be used?" said Xiang'er angrily.
"Ah" The little basin suddenly realized, and he smirked.
