Chapter 416: There are monsters in the water
At the entrance of the village, there was a dead silence. Two lanterns hung in the doorway, like the spiritualist lamps of the dead people.
The village was silent, there was no fire, and it was as quiet as a tomb.
Zhang Wuyang tightly grasped the handle of the scimitar, his palms were already sweaty, and his face was pale. The posture of the two villages does not look like welcoming people. If it really starts, who will you help?
No matter who dies, he can only die or leave.
Wu Gen looked at the village like a tiger in ambush in the dark, and said calmly: "Let's go." ”
The two entered the village, and a person flashed out from behind the door, it was Zhang Daochang, and no one accompanied him.
"Master Wu Zhai, please." Without greetings and politeness, Zhang Daochang did not walk to his residence, but walked straight to an inconspicuous hut at the door.
This cottage is close to the door and far from the village, and the location is quite particular.
In the room, there was only one candle flickering.
"You may be seated. I won't be serving tea today. Zhang Daochang made a gesture of please, and let Wu Yan sit down in the main seat, and he sat on the other side. Zhang Wuyang looked at the two of them, and went to the door to be on guard.
"Thank you, thank you for coming." Zhang Daochang in the candlelight looked a little tired, and his eyes were gloomy.
Wu Gen shrugged, "I'm looking at Wuyang's face." ”
"I know." Zhang Daochang was not embarrassed, his face was calm, and he looked straight in the direction of the door, "Although there are some exculpatory suspicions, I still have to explain what happened last time." The last time I received a message from the Heta family, I led people to surround you.
Because if I don't do it, I will be surrounded by two villages. After all, we are pigs raised by others, and what will happen to us if we anger our masters.
I believe that the lord of Wu Zhai also saw it at that time, and the people in the village did not have much hostility towards you, and they did not really kill you. Otherwise, with the strength of the two villages, it is more than enough to leave you with only nine people. ”
Wu Yan nodded, also staring at the door, not looking at the other party, "I know, if it weren't for the patriarch's secret intention to let go, how could he be injured by me." The people in the village can even do magic spells, so how can they let me wait to rush out calmly. I can still see this bitter meat. Patriarch, how many realms are you? ”
Zhang Daochang sighed and looked at his hand self-deprecatingly, "Five realms." There is a secret method handed down by the ancestors in the village, which can hide the realm, so as not to attract too much attention from the herdsmen. If the pig under your command is still higher than the master, how do you let the shepherd deal with himself?
When the ancestor created this method by himself, he showed weakness all day long, and finally he soared into the sky and defeated the shepherd master in a row. Over the years, the Heita family has been very strict in guarding the village, and once there is a person with a higher cultivation, he will be selected to take away, and the essence will be extracted, so that you will not be able to enter again, lest a second ancestor will come out and threaten its rule.
Over the years, I have endured humiliation and pretended to be stupid, just to let more people in the village survive. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Daochang finally looked at Wu Gen for the first time, "Do you look down on people like me." ”
Wu Yan sighed and shook his head slightly, "I understand what the patriarch did, everyone has their own way of living, and judging others from their own position is ultimately unfair."
The reason why I am willing to come is because you are willing to give young people like Zhang Wuyang another choice, instead of following the way of life of the old generation, which I admire the most. ”
"Thank you." Zhang Daochang let out a long breath and looked a little more relaxed. Zhang Wuyang at the door had a complicated complexion, and he wanted to speak several times.
"You're welcome, if it's ......" Wu Yan paused, "If you are fearless in the future and can protect the human race, Patriarch Zhang might as well unload this burden and live for himself." ”
Zhang Daochang looked at Wu Yan in some surprise, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded heavily.
"Let's go, it's time to talk about it, if there is anything to say to Wu Yang in the future, the dreadnought army is still ......" Wu Yan stood up and paused, "I am still willing to help the human race." ”
"Thank you." Zhang Daochang's voice came from behind him, and this was the third time he thanked him today.
One thanks for trust, two thanks for understanding, and three thanks for acceptance.
Wu Jian didn't respond, and walked out of the house. Zhang Wuyang hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he gently closed the door. At the moment of closing, I couldn't help but glance at the man sitting in front of the candle with a somewhat thin body.
Out of the two villages, the two rushed to the mountain overnight. Halfway through, several figures appeared in front of them, and when they got closer, they were Zhuo Ke, Ha Ying and others, who did not return with the team, but waited here silently.
Wu Gan's heart warmed, and he gently tapped a few people with a horsewhip, "Didn't you ask you to escort people back, how can you disobey the military order." Let's take a walk, what are you doing here at night. ”
Seeing that Wu was unharmed, everyone's hearts finally relaxed, and they all laughed and ran in the direction they came.
When he arrived in the mountains and walked on the rugged mountain road, Wu Gan's expression suddenly became gloomy. A few short words with Zhang Zongchang today, but I felt some emotion.
It's not easy for everyone to live, every family has a difficult scripture to read, everyone has a difficult song to sing, don't laugh at others.
Laughing at others is equivalent to laughing at oneself, and respecting others is respecting oneself. The path chosen by Zhang Daochang seems humble, but at least it has saved the lives of most people. In a sense, he is also a respectable person.
It's not that everyone has to live a strong and fierce life, and walking with patience and walking in the grass is also a way, where does it come from high and low.
"Drok, you go back to the village first, and I'll be back later." Wu Yan suddenly spoke.
"The owner of the village." Zhuo Ke also noticed that Wu Gan's mood was a little low, and his face became suspicious.
"I'm fine, I just want to be alone, you guys go, don't worry about me." Zhuo Ke still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Ha Ying's eyes.
"The owner of the village will come back soon." Zhuo Ke reluctantly instructed, and then left with the rest of the people.
Wu Yan waved at them, ignoring the horse under him, letting go of the reins and letting it go as it pleased.
Under the vast starry sky, a man and a horse staggered forward. Climbed over mountains and walked through beams, just like a lonely ghost, hesitating in the boundless world.
Wu Gen was distressed, he traveled thousands of miles to Kuntianzhou, fighting for life and death, what was it for. In order to save these suffering people, it seems that there is no such ambition before traveling. In order to provoke the shepherds to fight against the Cult of God, there seems to be such a reason.
And then what. Wu Gen was a little confused for a while.
Yang Zheng has his own thoughts here, in order to take revenge and restore the country. Xue Xin, in order to kill the thieves who plundered him here and killed the old gods, and then to satisfy the desire to lead thousands of troops. Chu Xi is more direct, being an official and becoming a great official, becoming a superior person and the like.
What about themselves.
In a daze, a line of silver appeared in front of him. Unconsciously, Wu Gen walked to the Yilie River.
Looking at the sparkling waves, Wu Gen gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and suddenly realized in his heart.
Thinking about it so much, I almost got demons. It's very simple, I am an orphan, and I have come so far, but I just want to have a home, a home that can shelter from the wind and rain. I have done so much, just to let myself have the ability and strength to protect it. It's as simple as that, that's all. It's just that he was stimulated by Zhang Zongchang, and he got into the horns of the bull for a while.
After his mind was cleared, Wu Gan's mind cleared up, and he simply drove his horse to the river, picked up a handful of cold water from the river, and washed his face happily.
Suddenly, Wu Yan felt that something was wrong, and by the morning light, a face appeared in the water, with a cloak and a terrifying appearance, as if a monster was staring at him curiously.
Wu Yan jumped back in fright, and pulled out his knife, "Who." ”
There was a loud and whirring sound on the water, and a person got out of the water and limped towards Wu Gan. The man had only one left arm, and a chain was attached to it.
Amazingly, the position of this man's right arm has two small arms like hemp rods. On the right leg of the vanishing beast, the leg bone of an unknown beast was installed.
Cold sweat flowed down Wu Gan's forehead, and his eyes looked around from time to time, looking for a way to escape. The person in front of him he knew was the ancestor of the Mo Zhi family.
Last time, he was secretly released by Wu Gan, and he disappeared after making a big fuss in Jinfu City, but he didn't expect to meet here today.
The ancestor of the Mo Zhi family tilted his head and looked at Wu Yan strangely, his mouth was slurred, as if he had not yet recovered his senses.
Wu Gen rolled his eyes, pointed behind him and said loudly, "Look, there's a rabbit in the water." ”
When the ancestor of the Mo Zhi family turned around to look, Wu Gan's body had already shot out, and he didn't even want a horse. When to wait for this time, in the face of such a powerful and delirious person, you can never predict what he will do in the next moment.
As soon as he ran more than 100 steps, Wu Jian found that there seemed to be someone following him. When I turned my head to look at it, I couldn't help but look horrified.
The ancestor of the Mo branch family was looking around like himself, pulling his legs and running wildly. Don't look at the beast leg, the speed of running is no less than your own.
Wu Gan's scalp was a little numb, and his body turned sharply to run in another direction, crossing the Yilie River and running wildly towards the opposite side. Taking the time to look back, the ancestor of the Mo Zhi family did not follow, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Suddenly, the black shadow in front of Wu Gen's eyes flickered, and it hit a person solidly
"It hurts, it hurts." Wu Yan cried and stomped his feet on the ground in pain. Beside him, the ancestor of the Mo Zhi family also stomped his feet again and again, imitating Wu Gen in a vague manner.
Looking at the other party's movements, Wu Gen had an idea, "Old thing, see if I don't play you to death." ”
A punch slammed into his face, stopping abruptly when it was about to touch his skin.
The ancestor of the Mo branch family also punched himself, and there was only a piece of paper between the fist and the nose.
Wu Gen was completely dumbfounded at this moment, but he didn't expect the other party to be fooled. I tried to run a few more times, but the other party seemed to be completely glued to him, and he would follow him wherever he went.
Returning to the river in frustration, Wu Jian simply sat down and looked at the morning glow in the distance in distress. Slanting a glance at the ancestor of the Mo Zhi family who was looking at the sky beside him, he couldn't help but have evil thoughts in his heart, and his hand quietly touched the handle of the broken knife.
"I advise you not to do it." A crisp voice rang out.
Looking back, Wu Gan's face was surprised, "It's you, how did you get here." ”
