Chapter 5: Old Man Li's Misfortune

readx;?“ Messenger of the Holy Child?"

Shaoyang's face moved slightly, he understood at this moment, presumably the source of all the symptoms was on this so-called Holy Child Messenger. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that who is this Holy Child Messenger? Listening to the old man's words, it is certain that he should be an immortal cultivator.

However, what he didn't know was how this immortal cultivator had anything to do with the mortal people?

The people have no money and no things, even if they want to find them, they should be those rich nobles, and even more so the relatives of the emperor and the country!

"Old man, the Holy Child Messenger you are talking about are those who can fly to the heavens and the earth, are they dressed in robes like mine?"

Shaoyang said slowly, in order to figure out what was going on, he needed to throw some primers and ask the old man to tell the old man what was going on.

Sure enough, after being reminded by him, the old man raised his head sharply to look at him, and after careful inspection, it was indeed a bit similar in clothing.

The old man was surprised, but then he showed deep worry, he pointed at Shaoyang, and said with a stammer:

"Could it be that you... You're an immortal too, are you in league with them?"

As soon as she said this, the mute girl next to her widened her eyes and did not blink, revealing a look of disbelief.

"Don't worry, old man, I don't know what you're talking about, let alone a group. ”

Shaoyang was embarrassed and a little self-defeating, but he was also happy in his heart.

The fact that there are monks like him in such a place means that he has returned to Kyushu.

Holding back the joy in his heart, he slowly explained:

"You are kind to me, even if it is a gang, I will not be able to harm you!"

Hearing him say this, the old man was also relieved, and he asked again in a low voice:

"Are you really an immortal?"

The tone of his voice had changed significantly, not as casual as before, but much more respectful.

Shaoyang was silent, just nodded slightly.

Although he is just an immortal cultivator, there is a difference between him and an immortal.

However, for mortals, if they can fly to the heavens and the earth, isn't that an immortal?

"No wonder... No wonder you are falling from the sky. ”

Seeing Shaoyang's acquiescence, the old man's surprise was even worse, and he kept whispering in his mouth.

Then he only heard a "plop", he actually knelt in front of Shaoyang, and at the same time pulled the dumb girl next to him and knelt down together.

"Immortal, please save my grandson. He is the only single bloodline of my old Li family, if he is taken away, my old Li family's incense will be cut off. And he's just a newborn baby, so he can't be taken away!"

Old man Li cried excitedly as he spoke, and kept kowtowing to Shaoyang and pleading.

The mute girl next to her was also crying, and kept calling "grandpa".

Shaoyang hurriedly helped Old Man Li and the mute girl up, and comforted him with kind words, so that Old Man Li calmed down and said:

"Old man, if you can help, Shaoyang will definitely do his best, but before that, you need to tell me in detail where things are. ”

"Of course, of course!"

Old man Li turned his worries into joy, and then told the past of Yuan'an Village in detail.

The more Shaoyang listened, the more gloomy his face became.

These immortal cultivators took away children, most of them were babies who had just been born for a short time, so it was obviously not for the sake of cultivating them well, and they would not be able to be so good.

From what Old Man Li said, these immortal cultivators once threatened that if there were no children, if they annoyed the Holy Child, everyone would have to die, so the mastermind of all this was this so-called Holy Child.

But who is he, and what is his cultivation?

Since a hundred years ago, he began to plunder babies, delivered every two months, and two were taken away from Yuan'an Village each time, and in the past hundred years, the number of babies taken away has reached thousands, why does he want so many babies?

Shaoyang couldn't think of it, but there was a faint sense of ominousness in his heart, but this feeling was fleeting.

He asked:

"Old man, why don't you run away for the past 100 years? ”

Old man Li shook his head and said helplessly:

In the past hundred years, villagers have fled all the time, but not to mention the mountains outside the village, even if they escape to the deep mountains, those immortals will know the location with great ingenuity. And once caught, the only end is death. ”

Then he raised his head, glanced at the mute girl, and said with a lamentation:

"Less than two months after the birth of the mute girl, she was to be taken away by the messenger of the Holy Child. Her parents fled to protect her, trying to escape from the mountain, but were captured by the messenger and killed on the spot as an example. My poor son died in vain, and his mother washed her face with tears all day long, and after half a year, she finally couldn't support it anymore and went with my eldest son. ”

Speaking of this, out of the corner of his eye, two lines of old tears flowed here.

And the mute girl next to her was even more uproaring, crying loudly.

"Such a careless disregard for human life, damn it!"

Shaoyang's expression was gloomy to the extreme, and his fists clenched with a clattering sound.

"Alas, those immortals don't treat us and other mortals as human beings at all, and in their eyes, we are just a swarm of ants, and it is not a pity to die. ”

Old man Li wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then patted the dumb girl again, comforted her, and said:

"Two months ago, my youngest son, the second uncle of the mute girl, tried to prevent my little grandson from being taken away by the messenger. When my daughter-in-law was just pregnant, she hid in the mountains and gave birth there. It's just that my little grandson was discovered by the messenger as soon as he was born, and as a result, alas...... God has no eyes, God has no eyes, why did I let Yuan'an Village suffer this century-old catastrophe!"

"Grandpa......"

The mute girl cried even more, and the pear blossoms brought rain and fell in an uproar.

Perhaps the cry from this side reached the side room, and it was not long before the woman with the baby came out.

Seeing that the old man Li and the mute girl couldn't stop crying, and seeing Shaoyang's clothes, he was not surprised, and then shouted:

"My husband has been killed by you, and now you are persecuting my father and niece, will you not be able to kill them all? You are not worthy of being immortals at all, you are simply a group of devils. ”

Shaoyang was stunned and sat there stunned.

Old man Li hurriedly pulled away the woman and scolded her.

After understanding the situation, the woman was embarrassed, but in the face of the opportunity to save her child, she definitely couldn't let it go.

So, she also knelt down and asked Shaoyang for help.

At the same time, Old Man Li and the mute girl also knelt down again.

"Don't worry, your grandchild will be fine with me!"

After receiving Shaoyang's affirmative answer, the old man Li, the woman and the mute girl got up and burst into laughter, and the whole family showed their long-lost joy.

At night!

After dinner, Shaoyang returned to the house to meditate and cultivate to recover his spiritual power, although as an immortal cultivator, he no longer needed food, but Old Man Li's enthusiasm made it difficult for him to refuse.

Soon, Ali and Lixi came back from outside, one after the other.

They brought back a couple of messages:

First, this is an island, which is thousands of miles away from east to west, north and south, surrounded by the sea, and there is no end in sight.

Ali and Raccoon had gone to sea to explore, but neither found any other land. And they felt something strange in the sea, so they didn't fly far, but returned.

Second, Yuan'an Village is located in the middle of the island, surrounded by mountains, and on either side of Yuan'an Village there is a larger town in addition to some other villages.

But to Ali and Li's surprise, the town was dilapidated and empty, and except for some old and weak people who stayed behind, there was hardly anyone in the prime of life.

Moreover, many of the houses are uninhabited all year round, and they are already covered with cobwebs and moss.

The whole town has an eerie feel to it!

Third, on the mountains near the sea on both sides of the island, there is a sect of cultivating immortals named Linhai Pavilion and Qingxia Temple, there are not many disciples in the sect, about 100 people, and the highest cultivation is in the middle of leaving the country.

Shaoyang's brows furrowed slightly, his expression was serious, and these three pieces of news made him doubt sharply.

First of all, the place where he is located is an island surrounded by the sea, could it be that they are in the sea of the extreme east? Only the east of Kyushu is a vast sea.

Or maybe they weren't in Kyushu at all? Shaoyang's face twitched, and he was taken aback by the thought of himself.

But if it wasn't in Kyushu, where was it?

Second, the towns of this island are so barren, according to the description of Ali and Li, I am afraid that the time of desolation is not short.

This only shows that there has been a great deal of change on this island, but what happened?

Third, presumably, the removal of the child was done by these two sects, and the disciples of the sect should be the so-called Holy Child Messengers.

However, what he couldn't understand was that as immortal cultivators, what did they want so many children to do in the past hundred years? If it was a cultivation of demonic skills, the mortal body would be of no benefit at all!
