Chapter 2 The Mysterious Lijia Village
In the aftermath of the war, the smoke of the cooking stove full of life turned into dead graves. Lijia Village, which was once famous far and wide, is now also a barren mound. That immature child's voice was one of the few living creatures left among the countless barren mounds.
An old man with white hair, a thin green shirt and numb clothes, with a thin, skinny figure lying on the ground, a black gourd hanging from his waist, and a curved wooden cane in his armpit.
His eyes were slightly closed, his face was expressionless, and if he hadn't snored a few times from time to time, he would have thought he was a dead old man. There were four children of about ten years old beside the old man, three boys and one girl, all of whom were dressed in coarse cloth, the boys' clothes were a little dirty, black and white, and the girls' clothes were old but clean.
A wizened old man and four wild children playing with mud are no different from most wanderers, and if there is a difference, perhaps they are lucky to be alive in this chaotic world. The childish voice was made by one of the boys.
I saw the immature children's voices gushing endlessly, dancing with their hands. Unlike most children who love to listen to stories, he is more of a storyteller, and the source of his stories is said to come entirely from his dreams.
In front of his elated and endless storytelling, the lifeless faces of those friends who love to listen to stories were immediately enriched, and their death-like eyes came to life at once, and the moment their eyes came to life, their faces became extremely handsome.
Perhaps the greatest pleasure for them, who have suffered disasters but are still strong, is to listen to the story of this story king named Li Ye, whose story is a spiritual power of their young hearts, their hope and longing.
The boy who was talking about the story might have been a very handsome boy, but his curly hair hung down for a long time to cover most of his face.
However, at this moment, it happened that a gust of wind blew the curly hair, and the other half of the face came out. What kind of face is that? It was like a face that had been kissed by a demon, and it was extremely ugly!
The palm of his hand, which was exposed to his clothes, was also the one on the left, as if it had been burned by fire, and his skin was wrinkled, while the other one was intact. His eyes, who were originally excited, suddenly revealed a trace of inferiority.
Pointing to a black ant on the ground, he sighed, "Man, like this ant, is small and humble. After speaking, he paused, seemed thoughtful, stayed for a while, and muttered to himself: "Ants, ants, if you don't want to be bullied, you have to become stronger." ”
At this moment, a white puppy ran wildly, and the sound of barking "Wangwang......" was endless. "Xiaobai, Xiaobai" The boy's gaze was taken away from the ant, and soon he ran to the little white dog and squatted down as if he were a friend, stroking the little white dog's head with his right hand.
This action has been tried and tested, every time he strokes Xiaobai's head, Xiaobai will lie down on the spot obediently, and sometimes lick his fingers with his tongue. But this time, the little white dog barked as if it had met a great enemy.
The boy looked in the direction where Xiaobai was running, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Before he could react, a thunderous tiger roar shattered the quiet day. "Wow...... Old...... Tiger ......" trembling voice, word by word popped out of a little partner's mouth.
Sure enough, at some point, a bloody mouth appeared in front of the child, with golden fangs, and the cold was overwhelming. It was a large brownish-yellow tiger with a length of more than three meters.
"Run, children," cried the white-haired old man, his voice old and hoarse, apparently awakened by the shrill roar of the tiger. "Grandpa, take your younger siblings and run," the boy with curly hair replied calmly.
The other three children were already slumped on the ground. At this moment, the tiger opened its huge mouth and pounced on the curly-haired boy. In between breaths, the boy is about to become a delicacy for this hungry tiger.
At this critical moment, a black fog emerged from the ground, expanding instantly, the black fog became thicker and thicker, the fog became bigger and bigger, and with a loud "bang", the huge body of the big yellow tiger was shocked and flew out.
The black smoke cleared, and a huge, black monster appeared out of thin air. The whole body is black and shiny, hard as armor, and it looks exactly like an ant. It's just that this ant is fifteen or sixteen meters tall, and its six feet are as sharp as knives.
I don't know when the big yellow tiger that flew out upside down has been hooked back by its long scimitar-like black feet, and it has pierced the heart. It was already chewing on a few pieces of tiger meat in its large mouth. After only a few moments, the big yellow tiger had already been eaten by it.
It all came so suddenly, the white-haired old man and the other three children were already paralyzed and trembling in fright, only the curly-haired boy looked calm and unhurried, his eyes widened with some surprise and doubt, but he was not at all afraid.
He wasn't afraid when the big yellow tiger appeared, and he wasn't afraid when the black monster appeared. "What kind of beast are you, I have seen all kinds of beasts, including some demonic beasts, spirit beasts, and divine beasts, but I have never seen you like this, it's really strange." He asked curiously, looking at the sudden appearance of the monster with a strange look.
The giant black ant can make all kinds of expressions like a human, and can speak in a human voice, but his voice is very strange.
Hearing the curly-haired boy's words, the huge black ant raised his head and laughed a little mockingly: "Hahaha, what a big talker, you can see a tiger at such a young age and not be eaten, even if you have great luck, not to mention that you can see other fierce monsters." ”
Hearing the monster's mocking laughter, the curly-haired boy pursed his lips a little unhappily and said, "Don't laugh, I didn't say big things, those all kinds of fierce beasts, demonic beasts, spirit beasts, and divine beasts are all I saw in my dreams." Although I saw them in a dream, I had a feeling that they were not nothing, but living in this world. ”
Seeing the curly-haired boy's serious face, the huge black ant still said with some jokes: "You, the king of stories, are about to start telling stories again." But your story is really good, and I'll keep eavesdropping when I get the chance. As if he didn't feel that "eavesdropping" was a bad thing, the huge black ant directly expressed its willingness to continue eavesdropping.
Hearing the monster's compliment, the curly-haired boy smiled smugly, and then asked with some reluctance, "By the way, you haven't told me who you are or what your name is?" ”
The giant ant grinned like a human and spat out strange sounds. "Why, you won't recognize me so soon, just now you taught me to be strong if I want not to be bullied, right, yes, I'm that little ant, my name is Ant Xiaohei."
Slightly surprised, the curly-haired boy's face was slightly stunned for a while, and then recovered, his clear eyes flashed with a strange light, and his face said sincerely: "Ant Xiaohei, thank you for saving us all." ”
The giant ant still smiled: "I heard that you have to charge for telling stories, and rely on this unique skill to go all over the world and eat all directions." I've also overheard a lot of stories you're telling, and there's nothing else to reward you, so saving your life counts as a reward for listening to the story. ”
Unexpectedly, the monster said this, feeling a little surprised and a little funny, the curly-haired boy said with a relaxed face: "Since this is the case, I thank you, my name is Li Ye, and this is Grandpa Bai." Saying that, Li Ye pointed to the white-haired old man behind him, and he pointed to the two boys and a girl who were paralyzed and said, "They are my little friends, Li Chen, Wu Ju, and Mo Li." ”
The white-haired old man shrugged his trembling shoulders, barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't eat us, my meat is too old, too dry, too dry, not delicious, and the baby's meat is too loose, too thin, too sour, too chewy, and not delicious." ”
The monster's expression suddenly changed, and he glanced at everyone with a cold and gloomy gaze, and said coldly: "Then you go quickly, while I haven't changed my mind, otherwise the old meat is not so tender that you can swallow it in one bite." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the white-haired old man took a few children and ran away, and even lost his crutches.
"Why aren't you leaving?" The monster looked down at the tiny child at his feet and roared sternly, changing his previous expression to a completely different look.
Such a somewhat terrifying and eerie expression did not frighten the small child in front of him. I saw Li Ye calmly and indifferently stroked the white puppy with his hand, raised his head and looked at the monster and said calmly: "Ant Xiaohei, why are you laughing, you scared them away." ”
"I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh!" Seeing the child talking to himself like an old friend, the monster was a little surprised, but there was still no trace of emotion on his face.
Li Ye sneered and laughed: "Then I'll laugh for you." After saying "haha...... Haha...... "Laugh non-stop."
The monster looked helpless, but on its black face such an expression was not easy to capture.
"Ant Xiaohei, let's make friends." Li Ye looked up at the swarthy behemoth in front of him sincerely.
"You? A small human being, who wants to make friends with me. Yes. Unless ......"
"Unless anything" Without waiting for the monster to finish, Li Ye asked eagerly.
The monster smiled and said, "Unless you're not a human, you're a god!" But you really don't look like a normal human. After saying that, a whirlwind of black smoke appeared in the air and quickly disappeared.
And the moment he disappeared, a cold voice floated from the sky: "Run away, the Green Camp Whirlwind Black Tiger King and his subordinates are coming, and no one will be able to save you then." Li Ye, remember what you said, I will wait for you to become a god. ”
In a thatched hut. Old man Bai had already packed his luggage, of course his luggage was very simple, a cloth bag, a bowl, and a black gourd. Beside him stood three children with delicate faces, their expressions frightened and anxious.
One of the little girls with braided hair asked anxiously, "Grandpa, why hasn't Brother Ye returned yet?" He's going to be fine, right? ”
"Yes, grandpa, why don't we go and see," the two boys said one after the other.
Seeing that the children were noisily looking for Li Ye, the old man Bai looked indifferent, and said with an orange peel old face: "Go back?" Didn't you listen to what that monster said, if it weren't for my old man's quick running, he would have been eaten a long time ago, and there would be no scum left.
If you've lived enough and want to fill someone's stomach, I'm not against it. But my old man hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, and he hasn't had that candle night in the cave room...... I'm going to be happy for many years. ”
Speaking of this, the old man Bai coughed twice and continued: "But you can rest assured, with my old man's decades of experience in the rivers and lakes, I am sure that if you are Moli, the meat is tender, fragrant, crispy, and crispy, and there must be a danger of being eaten." But it was a leaf, the flesh was stinky, sour, and full of condiments, who dared to eat it, who could eat it. ”
As soon as the old man's words fell, he heard a young child's voice shouting happily: "Old meat, fragrant meat, stinky meat is back." ”
The sound came with people, and a little boy who was not very good-looking but still had a bit of natural cuteness and a little naughty appeared in front of everyone.
"Brother Yezi, you're not hurt...... right" The little girl Mo Li was the first to step forward, pounced on the boy's body, and wiped her tears with some coquettishness and some joy.
Stretched out his palm to wipe the crystal on the little girl's face, but there were two more paw prints, the curly-haired boy smiled a little embarrassed, and then said to the little girl: "Don't worry, Xiaomo, I'm fine." ”
After Li Ye finished speaking, in order to show that his limbs were sound and his head was fine, he raised his hand, stretched his legs, and shook his head, which looked ridiculous, causing Xiao Moli to "giggle".
"Don't laugh, hurry up and pack your things, let's get out of this place as soon as possible, you know, this place is very dangerous right now." Seeing that the children were happy and completely forgot that the danger was imminent, Grandpa Bai pursed his lips and said with a serious face.
"Yes, the Green Camp Whirlwind Black Tiger King and his subordinates are coming, that guy is even more ferocious, we have to flee quickly, the farther away the better." After listening to Grandpa Bai's warning, Li Ye also said to his friends with a serious face.
"But where can we flee, where can we flee?" Mo Li frowned and said with a blank expression.
"Yes, Grandpa Bai, where are we going to escape?" Listening to Mo Li's doubts, the boy named Li Chen, who had been silent, also followed.
The seemingly simple question of "where to run ......" seemed to make Grandpa Bai, who had wandered the world for most of his life, feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't even think of a good place to go for a while, and after a long silence, he was silent for a long time.
"Escape to a place where you can become an immortal." Seeing Grandpa Bai silent, Li Ye suddenly exclaimed excitedly. His words made the eyes of the other children suddenly light up, and their eyes looked at him neatly.
"Hehe, Cheng Xian? Who do you think you are, are you from the Star Pavilion? Listening to Li Ye's childish words, Grandpa Bai smiled disdainfully, and thought that this curly-haired child was a little unbelievable.
Hearing Grandpa Bai's somewhat mocking words, Li Ye didn't get angry but showed a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "Are the people from Wangxing Pavilion immortals?" ”
"Sort of, they are all immortal cultivators, and they are called immortal cultivators." Grandpa Bai put away his smile and showed a look of envy.
"Where's the Star Pavilion?" After getting the information he wanted, Li Ye immediately asked.
"In Nine Star Mountain"
"Where is Jiuxing Mountain?"
"On the East Side"
"Where to the East"
"Nine Star Mountain in the East"
Li Ye glanced at Grandpa Bai angrily and said, "Okay, let's go east to Jiuxing Mountain."
"I'm not going" ......
"I'll Go"
After Li Ye finished speaking, he stared deeply at the small village that had raised him, in that eye, there were his parents and relatives, his playmates, and the appearance of their last tragic death, his teeth were bitten very hard, his heart retracted his gaze, grabbed the luggage in the thatched house, turned around quickly, and quickly left the Li family village, which had already become a pile of dry graves, behind him.
"Hey, boy, you're taking my luggage, my luggage. That Nine Star Mountain is not something that anyone can go to if they want to. Grandpa Bai shouted and chased out, "What are the babies still stunned, hurry up." ”
"Oh, let's go......" Mo Li, Li Chen, and Wu Ju shouted cheers and followed. After the five people left, the originally blue sky suddenly became gloomy, dark clouds rolled in to cover the sky, and Lijia Village fell into a dead silence again.
Moments later, however, the dead silence was shattered by a thunderous roar. Four black shadows floated in front of three in front of them.
"Who is it, who is it?"
"Black Pit Viper, the Valley of Death, what a terrifying existence it once was! The Black Pit Viper, the valley master of the Valley of Death, the sub-god-level power second only to the God of Death, along with his five hundred pit viper warriors, was quietly killed. ”
"Not only him, but also the Tongshan Pig King, the Tongshan Pig King who single-handedly killed a 10,000-strong army of human beings, and his escort team, were also killed."
"Not only that, but the Great Stupid Bear King of Stupid Bear Valley and his three hundred iron-armored demonic beast warriors were also killed. The big stupid bear king of the Bear King Valley is a third-level star caller who has torn apart the two immortal cultivators of the Star Worship Clan's Star Pavilion. His strength is not below the Lord of Death Valley, the Big Stupid Bear King. ”
"The horror is that they didn't work out their dark magic until they died. Not even a distress spell was issued. ”
"In other words, in front of the opponent, they have no ability to fight back."
"That's weird. Who has such power? Could it be that it was the same person who killed the Lord of Death Valley, the King of the Mountain Pigs, and the King of the Big Stupid Bear, or the same force. No, no, it's impossible. ”
"Who is it? Who is it? Mankind? Star Pavilion? Falling Star Valley? Tower of the Seven Stars? Astrology Pavilion? No, no, by no means it's them. None of them possess such strength. Could it be that they have joined forces? No. They are all star worshippers, but they have long been independent, and their faces and hearts are not at odds. Even if you don't fight in the nest, it's not bad, but it's impossible to unite. ”
"Then it's strange, it's not them, who is it? Oh, is it ...... By the way, it must be him. In today's world, only he has the strength to be our enemy. This fish, which has disappeared for thousands of years, has finally appeared. ”
The four men who turned into four black shadows were talking one by one, and each other was surprised by each other's words.
Four men, one strong like a tiger, one fat like a pig, one stupid like a bear, and one thin like a snake!
I saw the thin snake-like man on the far left behind him take two steps forward, bowed his head to the strong tiger-like man in front of him, and said, "Respected Lord Bruce, the Green Camp Whirlwind Black Tiger King, if that's the case, what should we do next, please instruct." ”
The sturdy tiger-like man at the front turned his burly body and said to the other three men, "This matter is too important, I will report it to the Holy Monarch first, and it will be up to him to decide." Zasri quickly returned to the Valley of Benxiong, Sri Wei quickly returned to the Valley of Death, and Chun Sri quickly returned to Chase Mountain, waiting for dispatch. In addition, each of you will send a group of men and horses to secretly search for the whereabouts of the murderer, once you find a trace, do not blindly chase and kill, because you are not his opponent, you only need to report quickly, and the Holy Monarch has his own way to defeat him. ”
"Yes, esteemed Lord Bruce, the whirlwind of the Green Camp." After speaking, three black shadows turned into three black mist out of thin air, and disappeared like ghosts.
Bruce, the whirlwind of the green camp and the Black Tiger King, walked to the thatched hut and stood for a long time. There is a human breath here, and one of his subordinates, the Green Crystal Yellow Tiger, died here not long ago. The Green Crystal Big Yellow Tiger is just an ordinary Warcraft warrior who can't be ordinary anymore, but he died a strange death.
He was clearly killed by the power of darkness, but the power of darkness ...... He couldn't help frowning, if that was the case, wouldn't it be his own people's doing, could it be that there was a traitor among his own people?
Lijia Village, ten years ago, there was a wave of energy fluctuations of other gods, and the energy was like nothing. There is also an aura that seems to be a god but not a god, and it also seems to be nothing. When he arrived here, the energy fluctuations and the aura of the gods were gone.
In order not to startle the snake, he did not touch a single grass or tree in Lijia Village. Just send someone to watch. It wasn't until five years ago that Lijia Village was destroyed in the war and the whole village died, that they stopped surveillance.
However, a month ago, he actually felt the familiar energy fluctuation appear in Lijia Village again. So he ordered the Lord of Death Valley, the King of Tongshan Pigs, and the King of Big Ben Bears to go to Lijia Village to investigate. But instead of waiting for the news he wanted, he received a message that shocked and angered him.
The Tongshan Pig King and his subordinates left Datong Mountain, and it didn't take long for them to be killed, and the Big Stupid Bear King and his warriors died on the way, while the Death Valley Lord and the five hundred pit viper warriors died in the mountains near Lijia Village.
Lijia Village, a village that had long since died, actually appeared at the same time the breath of a human being, the energy fluctuations of the alien gods, and the power of darkness within itself, as well as the fish that slipped through the net...... Thoughts kept flashing in the mind of Bruce, the whirlwind of the Green Camp and the Black Tiger King.
A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It looks like it's going to kill again, the god of darkness, please give me strength...... weird laughter filled the air, and the burly body of the Black Tiger King Bruce turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared into the air like a ghost.
