88 villages
Xiao Jue watched from the corner according to what Dahan said, and finally could put the ice blue bamboo like an ice lump by his side.
It is not that the cries of the Great Han and the men who were with him can be heard, mixed with the roars of wild beasts.
Looking back at the Ice Blue Bamboo, there should be no one else here except them, even if the Xuan Beast wants to eat the Ice Blue Bamboo, I'm afraid it will be the first to smack, right?
The cold qi in her body has been in her body for so long, not only has it not weakened in the slightest, but it is increasing, this woman's current skin strength is roughly equivalent to an intermediate-level magic weapon, even if Xiao Jue launches the nine-foot jade spirit body hammer, it will take half a day to hammer.
Turning over the slope, Xiao Jue saw the battlefield.
Several big men surrounded a black rhinoceros that was three feet long and one and five feet high, according to what they called a mysterious beast.
Xiao Jue used his divine sense to probe the mysterious beast.
"Is the blood so vigorous?!" He muttered to himself, the qi and blood of this mysterious beast were comparable to ordinary Jindan monks in the outside world.
Judging by the attitude of the Great Han and others, although there is a certain danger, it is far from the point of facing a great enemy.
Several people advanced and retreated in a certain way, very tacitly, and the spear in his hand that Xiao Jue couldn't see the material kept piercing the blood hole on this mysterious beast, and the blood hole couldn't stop flowing hot blood.
In half an hour, as the leader of the man pierced into the vital part of the Xuan Beast that was heavily protected, the blood column gushed, and he fell to the ground with a few breaths, no breath.
The man seemed to sense Xiao Jue's gaze, turned his head and glanced in his direction, and then skimmed back.
Start dealing with the Beasts.
For them, the beast is a treasure, flesh and blood can be used as food, filling their stomachs, and bones can be boiled into soup for the children in the village.
A tendon in their body is the most suitable material for them to build a strong bow.
This mysterious beast looks at least eight or nine hundred catties at a glance, and after removing the bones and internal organs, the rest should also be four or five hundred catties, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to move it.
Ran appointed two young men for the leader, pierced the spear through the middle rib part of the beast, and the two of them took it up, and the team came towards Xiao Jue, without the slightest struggling.
It can also be regarded as giving Xiao Absolute, the combat power of the people in this secret realm a basic understanding.
"Come back with me!" The man shouted.
Xiao Jue returned and picked up the ice blue bamboo, and walked towards the man.
"You should have seen them all, right?
If you have the chance, you might have the same strength as us.
But you're too skinny, and you need to eat more meat.
We'll give it to you at first, but then you'll have to fend for yourself! ”
"By the way, forget to introduce yourself, my name is Ba He, you can call me Lao Ba!" Ba He introduced the remaining young people separately.
"My name is Xiao Jue, and the woman on my back is called Bing Lanzhu!"
Behind Ba He, a young man named Shi Nong, it was he and another young man named He Xuan who carried the Xuan Beast, and asked Xiao Jue curiously: "You are from outside, can you tell us what you are like outside?" ”
Shi Nong said, and several other young people showed very curious eyes.
Even the seemingly mature and steady Ba He has a hint of curiosity.
Xiao Jue truthfully told him a little about the icy and snowy situation outside.
It's not a long time, it's just an approximation.
He Xuan, who was walking behind, rolled his eyes: "If you say so, the old priest in the village is deceiving, obviously it is icy and snowy, but he wants to say what kind of flowers are red and willow green, and they are purple and red."
It's better to stay in the village honestly! ”
"He Xuan boy, don't speak ill of the old priest!!" Ba He sighed.
He Xuan suddenly shut up.
The majesty of the Ba River in the crowd is still very deep.
However, the old priest seems to be a very special existence in the village, otherwise he would not have been so respected.
Xiao Jue got some news from He Xuan's mouth.
Perhaps this secret realm is huge, with more than one entrance.
The old priest probably didn't lie, or maybe the old priest was the one who came to the secret realm from the outside a long time ago.
"Has anyone ever walked out here?" Xiao Jue said tentatively.
Ba He was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes, there is more than one!" ”
It didn't seem that he wanted Xiao Jue to have too much hope, and continued: "Or die on the way out, it's possible!"
Whether he went out or died, it is possible. ”
At the mention of these, everyone's expressions, including Bahe, were not normal.
——
The distance is not far, just over ten kilometers.
Halfway up the hill, you can see a small village.
One hundred and ten households, it seems that it is time to eat, and there is little smoke in the cooking.
A group of little cubs and little girls were playing at the entrance of the village, and a group of boys saw Ba He and them in the afterglow.
Lao Yuan was waving and shouting, and a few cubs were running.
A smile appeared on Ba He's face.
Xiao Jue looked at the village with a heavy look, if his village was still there, it should be like this.
In his previous life, he was also from the countryside, but after the combination of urban and rural areas, the village was gradually annexed by the city, and the low-walled courtyards became buildings, like boxes.
The building is high and the walls are thick, and the communication between them has also been lost, and the relationship between people has become cold.
"There's something to eat, there's something to eat!!" A group of children chirped, and the eldest of the children threw himself into Ba He's arms.
It seems to be the son of Ba He.
Ba He rubbed his head affectionately and whispered something in his ear.
"This is my son, Batian!"
The child recognized his life and hid behind the Ba River.
Ba He was helpless and said to Xiao Jue: "The child is like this!"
I'll take you to the High Priest, and I'll arrange a place for you to stay in a moment!" ”
Walking into the village, a woman walked up to the Ba River and asked gently, "You're back!" ”
Ba He nodded: "I'm back!" ”
"Xiaomin, you help this little brother take care of the girl, and I'll take him to the high priest!"
This woman is the wife of Baha.
The woman knew that Xiao Jue was an outsider, so she didn't say anything.
In the past, he had to take over the ice blue bamboo on Xiao Jue's body.
Xiao Jue hurriedly arrived: "I'll come!" "Ice Blue Bamboo is an ice lump, not to say.
Not only is it dead and heavy, but the cold on his body is unbearable for ordinary people.
The woman glanced at her man, and Ba He acquiesced.
Carrying the ice blue bamboo into Bahe's house, the woman sorted out an empty bed, spread a layer of quilt, and asked Xiao Jue to put the ice blue bamboo on it.
Bahe's son watched the whole process, firstly, for the first time to see such a beautiful woman as Bing Lanzhu, and secondly, he wondered what happened to her?
"Uncle Ba, there is something I might want to tell you!
This woman needs me to take care of herself, it's not that I don't worry about you, there is a cold air in her body, if my sister-in-law or your kid touches it!
Their bodies are not as strong and bloody as yours, I'm afraid they are not very good! ”
When Ba He heard this, he didn't say much, but turned back and said a few words to the woman.
On the way, Ba Hedao: "You and this girl are not ordinary people, right?"
In the words of the person who came in before, a monk? "It's normal to ask this question, the ice blue bamboo has become an ice mound, and it's not dead yet, can this still be a normal person?
Xiao refused to acquiesce.
"But according to the situation, you shouldn't be able to move your true qi now, right, or you don't have true qi!?"
Xiao Jue smiled bitterly, which can be regarded as an admission in disguise.
Ba He smiled: "You monks who came here before are like this!
Most of them end up gone, though! Speaking of this, Ba He looked up into the distance.
I don't know how many distances, in the mist, a mountain peak rising straight up to the clouds looms.
Around the peaks, the long-lasting storm thundered.
"That mountain is called Lingshan, and those monks all walked from there, and none of them came back!" The implication is that either they really went out, and it is more likely that they died on that mountain.
"What about you?"
Ba He didn't care, and said: "Maybe my ancestors are also outsiders, but now that my children and wife are here, where are we going?"
As long as the home is here, no matter how gorgeous the outside is? ”
Xiao could never refute this.
Monks cannot escape the path of immortality, because they have experienced the gift of strength and longevity.
For most people in this village, there is not much yearning.
"It's here!"
A house made of stones.
The people inside seemed to know they were coming, and said, "Come in!" ”
"Let's go inside!" Ba He said to Xiao Jue.
——
"Monk?" The space is not big, it is not at night, there is no palm light, and the interior is a little dim.
"Yes!"
"How many years, it's been fifty years since the last monk came here!" Trembling, an old man stood out of the darkness in the light shining through the window.
Very old!
Under his divine sense, the old man's breath of life had almost reached its end.
This old man is in line with Xiao Jue's guess, and he is also a monk.
Rao is like this, or has it come to the end of his life.
Hundreds and thousands of years.
"Come on, let's stay!
When you want to go, tell me! The old man sighed.
"Have you been here all along?"
"If you count it, it should be four hundred and fifty years!
I'm finally getting to the point of Shouyuan!
As a cultivator, I am really unwilling!
Perhaps it was also my timidity that I wanted to climb that mountain more than once.
Eventually, the fear of death made me stop and become the High Priest here.
Witness the flourishing of this existence! It seemed that only in the same face of the monk could the old man say this.
"As a gift, this bottle of Xuandan, you take it!
However, according to the rules of the village, you need to work hard for your own needs in the future!
The most direct thing is to hunt the mysterious beasts.
You can think about it, do something else in the village, and get food, but it's a matter of how much. ”
Xiao Jue arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”
The old man's body shook and said, "Go!" ”
Waiting for Xiao Jue to leave, the old man's voice kept echoing in the room: "Hehe, Daoyou,"
——
Three months passed.
Xiao Jue can be regarded as gradually getting acquainted with the people in the village.
I learned that there were more than 300 people in this village.
He also often went out hunting with the Ba River and them, mostly as a backhand.
The days go by quickly.
But it's not that good.
Since it is a hunt for mysterious beasts, there will inevitably be losses.
A month and a half later, Shi Nong, who had started talking to Xiao Jue, was accidentally bitten to death by a mysterious beast during a hunt.
That is, half a month before his death, a month after Xiao Jue's arrival, Shi Nong had just married a girl in the village, and the girl was also pregnant.
Knowing this, Xiao Jue was also very helpless, that time, he didn't go, maybe he went, it might change the result.
This kind of thing seems to be not uncommon in the village.
At the entrance of the village, Xiao Jue came back with the hunting team, and Ba He patted him on the shoulder.
"Yes, I'm in good shape!"
Without waiting for the team to put down the prey, a half-sized man ran over, very hasty, and said, "Uncle Ba, the high priest has something urgent to find you!" ”
Ba He and the others looked at each other, and he hurried to the old priest's house.
Xiao Jue frowned, went back to Bahe's house, and checked the situation of Bing Lanzhu.
