Chapter 20, The Old Village Chief

"Yes, village chief, I haven't seen you for five years, but your old health is fine." Seeing that the old man recognized himself, Li Mo put on a new mask and said respectfully.

I haven't seen him for five years, and the old man is also very happy, and after laughing a few times, he not only sighed: "I didn't expect the little immortal at the beginning, but now he has grown so big, it's just a talent." As for the old man, my body, the wind and candle are in his old age, don't mention it, don't mention it. ”

"Come on, come on, don't be stunned, come into the house."

After speaking, the old man pulled Li Mo into the house.

The house is not large, slightly messy, with some cluttered items such as pots and pans piled up in the corners. A wooden table, worn out over the years, sits in the center of the house, along with two wooden chairs and a bed.

"Old man, I'm old, my legs and feet are not neat, and the room is a little messy, don't mind, little fairy."

Let Li Mo sit at the wooden table, the old man turned around and was about to take out the teapot and pour tea to entertain Li Mo.

"Village Chief Wu, where are you talking about this, the time I have lived here is not enough thanks to your care, how can I dislike you!"

Li Mo quickly stopped the old man, helped him sit on the wooden chair, turned around and picked up the kettle from the side, and poured a cup of tea for the old man.

"Hahaha, but I've thought too much about it, old man."

The old man took a sip of the tea poured by Li Mo and chatted with him.

Five years ago, Li Mo's master, Lin Daotian, often sent him out to perform tasks in order to temper him.

Once Li Mo received a task from the royal family of the Tianlong Empire to find the missing princess, through layers of investigation, Li Mo found all the way to this Wujia Village, and found the princess who ran away from home because of a moment of anger.

She was only nine years old at the time, and after leaving the palace, she got lost, and after a long journey, she came to Wujia Village, where she was dressed in tatters, with a small face and yellow muscles, no different from a little beggar.

An old woman in the village saw that she was pitiful, so she took her home and adopted her, and since then the runaway princess has been with the old woman for her life, although life is a little harder, but the little princess feels the warmth of home.

When Li Mo found her, he originally wanted to forcibly take her away, but the old woman who adopted the princess at that time was already terminally ill and her life was short.

Even if Li Mo had a lot of elixirs on his body, he couldn't save the old woman, because the old woman's life was about to run out, and she couldn't withstand the spiritual power entering her body without any cultivation foundation, and the elixir was useless, so she could only wait for Shouyuan to dry up.

Li Mo couldn't bear to see the two separated, so he decided to let the girl stay here and wait until the old woman died, and then leave with the girl.

During this time, Li Mo sometimes went out hunting with the hunters in the village, although he was only a teenager back then, his cultivation had reached the Nine Heavens of Forging Body, and the jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain were not his opponents at all.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Li Mo killed a big wild boar with one punch, kicked a bison to death, and put down a big black bear with his bare hands.

As a mortal villager, where have I seen such a scene, they were stunned by Li Mo's toughness. After they went back, they quickly spread Li Mo's deeds throughout the village, and since then, the people in the village have called Li Mo 'Little Immortal', and the lives of the villagers have also become better with Li Mo's arrival.

After returning from hunting, Li Mo always accompanied the little girl intimately, and took care of the old woman lying on the bed with the little girl.

Time has passed in a flash, and more than a month has passed in a snap of a finger.

Soon after, the old woman closed her eyes and passed away with a kind face, Li Mo accompanied the little girl to bury the old woman, then said goodbye to the villagers, and left here with the girl, and it was five years to go.

……

Now that they met again, Village Chief Wu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be missing, and he talked to Li Mo about what happened in the village after they left.

"After I left with you, many officers and soldiers came to the village, they brought a lot of supplies to the village, and also helped the villagers build houses, and took good care of our village.

It wasn't until they left that we learned that the dirty little girl turned out to be Her Royal Highness the princess of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Speaking of this, the old man paused, looked at Li Mo's eyes and said: "And you, you are a disciple of the legendary Immortal Cultivation Sect, according to what the group of officers and soldiers said, the people in your sect are all land immortals, flying away from the sky and the earth, omnipotent, and your identity is under one person and above ten thousand." ”

After Li Mo heard this, he thought that the old man was blaming him for concealing his identity back then, so he quickly stood up and saluted, and said: "The identity of the princess back then was not that I deliberately concealed it, but because the Tianlong Imperial Family felt that once this matter came out, it would damage the face of their royal family, so they specially told me to act in secret."

And my identity can't be revealed because of the sect, so I deceived you, and I hope the village chief can understand. ”

When Village Chief Wu saw this scene, how could he not know what Li Mo had misunderstood, so he hurriedly got up and helped Li Mo up.

"What are you doing, old man, I just didn't expect that the young girls who appeared in the village back then would have such a prominent identity, and I don't want to blame you, please hurry up."

"The princess who left with you back then, is she doing well now?" After helping Li Mo up, Village Chief Wu asked.

"After I sent her back to the Tianlong Empire, I returned to the sect and never met again, but she is a princess of a country, so she must be carefree in life." Li Mo recalled the figure of a little girl in his mind.

In front of the splendid palace, a girl in a pink dress waved goodbye to Li Mo, "Brother Mo, I will go to you in the future, you have to remember me!" ”

"Carefree, good, good."

Village Chief Wu said yes again and again.

After a while.

Village Chief Wu took out a white package from his arms and put it on the table. Although through the white cloth, Li Mo still sensed the contents of the package, which was his Tianyun Sect's distress jade slip.

"This is what was left behind after the officers and soldiers left, and they said that this was a cry for help. When the village is in danger, let me drop a drop of blood on it, and if the village suffers a catastrophe, let me crush it, and then there will be immortals to help us through the difficulties, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

After speaking, the old man uncovered the white cloth and revealed a piece of jade slip that was only half the size of a palm, the jade slip was snow-white, densely carved with complex patterns, and the corners of the jade slip were engraved with the three small characters of 'Tianyun Sect'.

This piece of jade slip is the jade slip issued by Tianyun Sect, Tianyun Sect is one of the three strongest sects in Longzhou, sheltering an empire and dozens of cities, these cities will send countless materials to Tianyun Sect every year, and Tianyun Sect will also send a distress jade slip to these cities, once these cities suffer a catastrophe, you can quickly contact Tianyun Sect through the jade slip, and then Tianyun Sect will send disciples to help.

To put it simply, the cities with jade slips are all protected by the Tianyun Sect.

In a small mountain village like Wujia Village, it was originally impossible to get the jade slip, but they inadvertently took care of the princess of the Sky Empire, and the Heavenly Dragon Emperor gave them a distress jade slip in order to thank them.

Village Chief Wu pushed Yu Jian in front of Li Mo and said, "Since you are already here, I will say it directly." ”

The old man picked up the tea on the table, took a sip and said slowly, "A month ago, Wu Niu, who went out hunting, disappeared in the mountain, and several hunters in the village went into the mountains to search, and after several days of searching, he found Wu Niu covered with scars in a cave. ”

"At that time, the people who searched in the past were extremely experienced hunters, who had hunted countless wild beasts, and they saw at a glance that the scars on Wu Niu's body belonged to the wolf's claws, judging by the size of the scratches, this wolf was the size of a house, and they thought of this and suddenly their scalps were numb, and they were extremely frightened, and they didn't dare to stay in the mountains any longer, so they dug a cave and buried Wu Niu, and then quietly returned to the village."

Speaking of this, Village Chief Wu sighed, they have lived at the foot of the mountain for many years, and naturally they have heard of the demon beast, and they know that with their strength, it is not enough to compete with the demon beast, what he is worried about is that the demon beast ran out to slaughter the villagers, although this kind of thing is not common, but it is not uncommon.

After hearing this, Li Mo had some doubts in his heart, although the mountains around Wujia Village were high and dense, and the miasma was pervasive, but there was no too dense spiritual power, which was not enough to give birth to a demon beast, so where did this demon beast come from?

Li Mo tapped the table with one hand, secretly analyzing the habitat of the demon beasts in Longzhou in his heart.

"In the territory of Longzhou, most of them are the territory of the human race, and there are very few places where demon beasts are entrenched, and even if there are demon beasts, most of them have been domesticated into spirit beasts by other sects, and they never hurt people. There is only one place where this kind of man-killing demon beast will appear, and the entrenched place of the Blood Demon Sect will be 'Ghost King Mountain'.

Thinking of this, Li Mo's expression froze and asked, "Has anyone in the village seen that demon beast?" ”

"This is not true, since a few hunters returned to the village, no one dared to go into the mountains to hunt, for fear of encountering that demon beast."

Speaking of this, Village Chief Wu seemed to think of something, and said to Li Mo: "But a few days ago, there was a wolf howl from the mountains, and the sound was extremely loud throughout the village, and many of the villagers' captive poultry were trembling with fright, lying on the ground and not daring to move. ”

"The village chief doesn't need to worry, I'll go to the mountains tomorrow to search." Li Mo said.

"Well, tomorrow I'll go to the village and find a few agile hunters to accompany you, so that you can still have a little to take care of."

A few years ago, Village Chief Wu had heard of Li Mo's strength, and after learning that he was from the legendary Immortal Cultivation Sect, he was also more at ease with Li Mo, but the power and ferocity of the demon beast, he had more or less heard of it, and in order to prevent accidents, he naturally had to bring more people.

"There's no need, according to what the village chief said, this demon beast should be a wolf demon, and I can do it alone."

"But ......"

As soon as Village Chief Wu said half of his words, he saw a long sword appear next to Li Mo at some point, the cold light of the sword body flickered, and under his gaze, the long sword rushed out of the window and instantly penetrated a big tree, leaving a large transparent hole in the body of the tree.
