73. White ape?
Along the road that has long since disappeared, with the ashes in front and the wolf behind, the two enter this village without the vitality of Sihao...
Damp and cold is the first and only feeling of ashes.
Half an hour had passed since he entered the village, and his trouser legs had already been wet with the dew on the grass, and the ashes still hadn't found a single living thing, and the wolf on the side shook his head and found nothing.
"Where, you can only go into the house to investigate?" The wolf asks Ash, and after agreeing, he begins to walk towards a larger house on the left.
This is not a random choice, there is obviously something wrong with the village, the most suspicious is this one, not only the appearance is relatively new, but there are actually some white charms pasted on the gate...
Whether the charm on the door is to protect the people inside the house or to keep the contents from coming out, exploring the room will break the peace, and Ash is not afraid of hordes of enemies, but only runs empty.
The fact that a wolf can choose this house coincides with the ashes shows that he is not an ordinary person.
Coming to the door cautiously, of course, the wolf will not take off the charm recklessly, but is ready to pick it off with a sword, and the ash will take an attack posture, ready to support at any time.
What the two didn't expect was that without waiting for the wolf's action to be made, the door creaked open...
I saw an old man poke his head out and hurriedly shouted: "No, don't take off this charm!" ”
"It's... It's life-saving..."
Ash and the wolf looked at each other and smiled, and it was brought out!
Ash stepped forward, "Boss, we're just here to ask some questions, and there's no malice." ”
The old man was still hesitating, but he only showed half of his body, and did not open his mouth to invite Ash and the wolf in.
"Hehe", the wolf shook the knife in his hand, and the cold light reflected on the old man's face...
"Come in, come in, come in!" The old man hurriedly opened the door and stood up respectfully.
Although the old man's performance was basically no problem, Ash still kept an eye on it, in case there was an enemy in the room, it would be better to be prepared.
However, when Ash walked through the door, this doubt was completely dispelled.
The house, which looks spacious from the outside, is crowded with many people, most of whom are elderly, very few young children, and none of the adults.
Seeing a scene, Ash sighed in his heart, "It's over, it is estimated that the clues may not be able to be inquired, but there will be troublesome things......"
The people in the house were also looking at the ashes and the wolf, and there had been no outsiders here in a long time......
The wolf was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the room.
"I don't know, have you ever heard of the legend of immortality?"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers on the opposite side took a breath of cold air, and Ash noticed their expressions and immediately understood that they had come to the right place.
The old man, who was still the leader, pondered for a moment, "I don't know why Your Excellency wants to investigate this matter, immortality is not a good thing, it is a curse, and it will become a monster." ”
When the old man said this, his expression was a little frightened, and he seemed to have some painful experience.
"Don't get in the way, we are on the orders of His Excellency the Reed Sword Saint Yixin to deal with the issue of immortality."
"Hugh has to say wildly, immortality is not something that ordinary swords can deal with, even if an adult is in person, he may not be able to retreat with his whole body."
Ash wanted to pull the banner of the famous reed city, but not only did it have no effect, but it also had the opposite effect.
It seems that everything still depends on strength.
Instead of choosing other skills, Ash immediately unleashed an angelic miracle, and in an instant, pure white energy spread out in all directions, leaving all the villagers and even a wolf dumbfounded.
Then Ash spoke again, "You're trapped here because of that headless youkai. ”
"You...... I've seen the headless ......"
The old man was a little surprised, the headless monster blocked the path of the village, so these people, even if they couldn't survive in the village, there was no way to go to Reed Castle.
There were also adult men before, who teamed up to fight against the leaderless, but ordinary swords could not cause damage to the leaderless at all, but instead damaged a large number of men.
"Is it headless...... Have you been killed by an adult? ”
Not only the old man was excited, but the other villagers also gathered around one after another, chattering and asking.
"Quiet!" Ash used the power of thunder and lightning to reprimand, and in an instant, everyone seemed to be shocked and did not dare to say anything more.
"The leaderless has indeed been killed by me, since you can leave, you don't have to worry about the future, you can tell me the clue of immortality."
The old man immediately turned around, walked into the villagers, and began to discuss with the people around him in a whisper.
The wolf immediately understood what these people meant, and directly broke it, "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate and see if the leader is still there." ”
The old man sneered, "My lord, it's not that the people don't believe it, but be cautious, I'll send someone to check, as long as I can leave here, I will definitely know everything." ”
After saying this, the old man picked a few people and asked them to go to the headless cave and go back quickly.
The way back to the cave was not too far, and the ashes were left to them.
While waiting, the old man told Ash that this place was called Shui Sheng Village, which used to be very beautiful and everyone lived peacefully.
However, one day, a white python burrowed into the valley, and the villagers' travel was attacked.
Then the valley began to be enveloped in resentment, and finally the headless was born, and the road was completely blocked.
Then the days became more and more difficult day by day, and in the end, only they were left, the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Soon, the people who had been sent to explore the path had returned, and it was clear from their excited expressions that what Ash had said was true.
The old man hurriedly arranged for the others to pack their bags and leave immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
He himself led the ashes and the wolf to another room and began to tell the clues about immortality.
It turns out that this village is not only troubled by the white snake and the leaderless, but the main enemy is a white ape.
According to the old man's description, the white ape was dead, and the skull was pierced by the big knife, but it could still move, and even invade the aquatic village, and any living thing was its food.
That's why everyone hid together and used charms to drive away the white ape.
"This white ape is the clue to immortality?"
"Yes, that's right, there were bold people in the village who wanted to follow the white ape, but the result was gone."
"If the two of you want to explore immortality, you can follow the white ape, but this beast is crazy and extremely ferocious."
The old man told Ash all the time and place when the white ape liked to appear, and then hurriedly packed his luggage and left.
The wolf looked at the old man's back, "Aren't you afraid that he will lie?" ”
"Lying? There should be no need, he is just an ordinary person. ”
"Besides, the city is so big, if he lies, isn't he digging his own grave?"
"So, the clue of the white ape should be true."
