Chapter Twenty-Four: Jianzhi
Zilin Village, a small village in the depths of the clouds and mist of Shu Mountain, the people are simple, and when they saw Wei Yan coming, they sharpened their knives and sharpened their knives to pigs and sheep.
In the evening, Wei Yan sat beside the village chief in a restrained manner, and the village chief said enthusiastically: "The immortal master eats it, it is all home-raised." ”
As he spoke, he took a chicken leg with chopsticks and put it in Wei Yan's bowl.
The aroma was tangy, which made Wei Yan's index finger move, and when he bit it, his mouth was full of oil, it was so fragrant!
All-natural, pollution-free free-range chicken.
When the village chief saw that the guests were moving their chopsticks, he also beckoned the other villagers to eat.
The banquet suddenly became lively, and after being full of wine and food, Wei Yan asked about the situation in Zilin Village.
The village chief said: "About three months ago, most of the people in the village were infected with the plague, but the next day, everyone was so miraculous again! Because I didn't die, I didn't report to the sect at that time. ”
"But in the past three months, some clothes and food have been lost in the village, and someone has fallen ill every few days, but the next day it is better. After three months of repeating this, everyone can't stand it! ”
Wei Yan asked, "How do the villagers feel when they are sick?" ”
"I had a fever like usual, I was dizzy and feverish, but when I got better the next day, I felt strong all over my body, and I was able to work a lot." The village chief smiled bitterly.
Wei Yan examined several villagers who had been sick, and they were in good health and in good spirits.
"Strange, what is this monster doing?" He touched his nose and expressed confusion at the monster's behavior.
The village chief said nervously: "Does the immortal master know what kind of monster it is?" ”
"That monster is not harmless to people's hearts, so everyone can rest assured."
"Everyone is panicked by that monster, please get rid of the demon by the immortal master!" The village chief bowed and said.
The other villagers also knelt down, "Please kill the demon master!" ”
"Everybody get up first."
Wei Yan helped a village girl with a beautiful face in front of him, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, I will investigate clearly." ”
After the banquet was dispersed, the village chief led Wei Yan to the ancestral hall and said apologetically: "The conditions of the village are poor, so I can only grieve the immortal master to live here temporarily." ”
Then he pointed to the village girl who Wei Yan had just helped up and said, "This is the little girl Zhao Huai'er, if you have something, just give orders." ”
"No hassle." Wei Yan hurriedly excused himself.
The village chief insisted: "Huai'er, you can't neglect your guests. ”
Village aunt Zhao Huai'er said coquettishly: "Dad, my province!" "The sound is like a clear spring, and it is pleasant to the ear.
After the village chief left, Zhao Huai'er lowered his head and said, "Is the immortal master going to rest?" ”
"No need, you go down and rest, I'm going to walk around the neighborhood tonight." After speaking, Wei Yan rose into the air, and after a flash of sword light, he disappeared.
Zhao Huai'er blushed and muttered shyly: "The immortal master is so good-looking!" ”
……
Wei Yan circled around Zilin Village with a sword light, and found no trace of demonic energy.
"Isn't it a monster?" He boldly speculated that if the demon beast must have swallowed the villagers directly, but none of the villagers were missing, it meant that it was not a demon beast.
Wei Yan pondered and meditated, and with a thought, Hanamaki jumped out of the Imperial Beast Ring, "It's yours to decide, Hanamai!" ”
Hanamaki is speechless, what crazy thing are you talking about? Still, it sniffed honestly.
The surrounding air was inhaled into his nose, and Hanamaki let out a "wang" sound, motioning for Wei Yan to follow it.
Following the unusual smell in the air, a man and a dog came to a deep bamboo forest.
In another place in the bamboo forest, Xin Fu followed Wei Yan to Zilin Village without directly doing anything, and secretly observed Wei Yan for a long time.
After figuring out Wei Yan's general strength, Xin Fu was confident that he would kill him with a head-on blow, but he was a professional killer, and it had become a habit to take every step of the way, and then looked for a suitable ambush near Zilin Village.
Unexpectedly, he found a precious elixir - Jianzhi!
Jianzhi, born with sword energy, can consolidate the foundation and improve cultivation, and the most important thing is that it can help monks understand the sword intent, which is a supreme treasure!
Xin Fu looked around with fear, there must be demon beasts around the place where the elixir is located, and I don't know what kind of demon beast it is?
He pressed the greed in his heart, if he started to pick the sword mushroom at this time, he would inevitably alarm the demon beast and Wei Yan, and then he would be empty.
Xin Fu retreated, ready to slowly figure it out.
Just after he left, a red figure passed by, smelling the smell of strangers, and immediately became vigilant, it turned out to be a petite fiery red fox.
The fox breathed a sigh of relief humanly when he saw that Jianzhi was intact, and went out today to fight with the big insects on the nearby mountain, and now he is exhausted, and he just wants to lie down next to Jianzhi and sleep well.
……
Back to Wei Yan's side, after stepping into the bamboo forest, the fallen leaves on the ground made a rustling sound, and he kept advancing, and the bamboo in the depths became more and more lush, and there was no way out, so he had to observe the surroundings to see if there was anything abnormal.
Wei Yan lowered his body, and after looking up, he really gained something!
A blood-stained bamboo leaf, after smelling the flower roll, he walked out of the bamboo forest with Wei Yan and went straight to another mountain.
"Hanamaki, are you taking the wrong path?" Wei Yan muttered.
Hanamaki "Wang" twice expressed dissatisfaction, don't doubt my nose.
The mountains were overgrown with vines and thorny plants, which almost ruined his clothes.
Wei Yan picked up the flower scroll and stepped on the flying sword, "Let's go to the sky to find it." ”
Hanamaki is also smart, raising a paw to point in the direction.
They came to a high mountain, the top of which was bare, surrounded by trees.
"The Mediterranean?" Wei Yan complained, but his expression was very serious, there was a faint demonic aura in the mountain, and there must be demon beasts inhabiting here.
For the sake of safety, it is not appropriate to force your way in without any information, so it is better to go back and think about it in the long run.
When he returned to Zilin Village, it was already late at night, and Wei Yan did not wake anyone up, but set up a formation at the entrance of the village and meditated quietly all night.
After a night of nothing, the rooster crowed, and he put away the array plate and the flag, intending to ask the village chief about the Mediterranean-like mountain.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at the entrance of the village, and saw a monk with an obscene face descending on a maple leaf-shaped magic weapon.
Wei Yan arched his hand and said: "I've seen Daoyou, dare to ask Daoyou's surname?" ”
Xin Fu smiled and said, "In Xia He Yu, I have seen the Daoist friends of the Qinglian Sword Sect!" ”
"This is my sect's territory, so it's better for Your Excellency to leave as soon as possible." Wei Yan is colorful.
"He Yu" showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and he was hesitant, as if he had made up his mind in the end.
At this moment, Zhao Huai'er came out of the village panting, came to Wei Yan, and complained: "The immortal master didn't return overnight, but I'm worried about death!" ”
Wei Yan found that this village girl was quite predictable, and the waves were turbulent.
Zhao Huai'er found that Wei Yan's eyes were blazing, she blushed and turned away, and saw that the lewd man on the side was also staring at her, and immediately scolded: "What are you looking at?" ”
Xin Fu looked stupid at this time, his eyes showed evil light, and he couldn't wait to eat Zhao Huai'er and wipe it clean!
Wei Yan frowned, and said coldly: "What are you going to say just now?" "Take advantage of the situation to block Zhao Huai'er behind him.
Xin Fu came back to his senses and grinned: "Naturally, there are benefits for Daoyou." Then he told him about his discovery of Jianzhi in the bamboo forest.
He said righteously: "I could have taken away the sword zhi alone, but who in the world doesn't know that the Qinglian Sword Sect is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, if I do this, won't I be spurned by the people of the world?" ”
Wei Yan smiled: "Daoyou is really the person who holds Yu with Huai Jin!" ”
Let Zhao Huai'er go back first, he invited "He Yu" to the ancestral hall alone and talked with him in detail.
The two had a good conversation, and agreed to get rid of the demon and pick the sword mushroom later.
Xin Fu's face showed disdain, sure enough, there is no one who is not greedy! But in the end, it's not about making a wedding dress for someone else?
