Chapter 90, Peach
"I'm really Keju, if you run away, you'll never see it again." Zhu Wuxian is not in a hurry and does not panic, and said softly.
When the children who were running out in a swarm heard Zhu Wuxian's words, they suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, and walked towards Zhu Wuxian.
"How can you give it to us?" The child holding the skeleton in his arms flashed with wide eyes full of longing.
The others also looked at Zhu Wushu with the same eyes.
"Give me the one in your arms, and I'll teach you how to bow." I wish Nunu no hurt and gestured to the human head and skeleton in the child's arms.
Hearing the words of wishing him no harm, the child hugged him tighter and shrank back into the crowd.
"If you don't give it to me, I won't teach you." I wish you a good and leisurely swim.
"That's Grandpa Xiaoye's head, can you change something, I'll give you my flowers." A taller girl said timidly, her clenched fists stretched out, and a white bone flower lay quietly in the palm of her hand.
"What?"
Zhu Wu was sad and could barely breathe, his brows furrowed, looking at the human head and skeleton.
Feeling Zhu Wuwu's eyes, the child named Xiao Ye drilled into the crowd a little.
"I really can't give it to you, if you don't change it, we don't want it." The girl blocked Zhu Wuwu's sight, and her hand went up.
Seeing that Zhu Wuxian still didn't react, he turned around to leave, and the others also turned around in disappointment.
"Wait." I wish you no harm to stop the children.
"Why do you want to change?" The girl's face showed joy, and the eyes of others also lit up with hope.
"Change! But you have a few questions to answer me. "I wish you no injuries and jumped off the wall and looked at the children.
"Okay, as long as we can say it, we will say it, and if you can't say it, even if you change it for us, we won't say it." The girl responded calmly.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Qinglan." Qinglan replied very cheerfully.
"How old are you all this year?" Zhu Wuxian looked at the tall and uneven children standing together.
"I'm the oldest, fifteen years old, Xiaoye is the youngest, eleven years old, and they're all twelve, thirteen, and fourteen." Qinglan pointed to the group of children behind her.
"Okay, last question." Zhu Wushu raised a finger, "Why did Xiao Ye use his grandfather's head as a kick, shouldn't people be buried in the soil when they die?" ”
Qinglan glanced at Xiao Ye before continuing.
"Xiao Ye's grandfather is a cultivator, and his bones are not buried in the soil, hanging outside."
Zhu Wuxian remembered that there was indeed a headless corpse hanging on the fence when he came in.
"Grandpa Xiao Ye often played with us before he died, and he will be happy to play with us after he dies." Qinglan continued.
The taboo word death was said so briskly by Qinglan at the moment, without a trace of burden, nor a little heaviness, just like eating and drinking.
Zhu Wuxian was silent for two breaths, "I suddenly have another question, if you can answer me, I will not only teach you to bow, but also invite you to eat peaches."
Even if you don't answer, I'll teach you Keju. ”
"Peach?"
The children behind Qinglan screamed, although they didn't know what a peach was, but just eating a word was enough to make them yearn for it.
"Is it the kind of peach that Mr. Wei said, it takes three years to bear fruit, first plant seeds, then grow trees, and finally bear fruit from trees."
Xiao Ye poked his head out of the crowd and whispered.
After Xiao Ye finished speaking, a sound of swallowing saliva sounded.
They all heard Mr. Wei talk about peaches, saying that they were the best things he had ever eaten, and after eating them, people will never forget them.
Qinglan also remembered what Mr. Wei had said, and pursed her lips unconsciously.
Zhu Wuxian smiled, his fingers swiped in the Sumeru ring, and a huge spiritual peach appeared in his hand.
The ripe spirit peach is reddish and pink, bright and dripping, even if it is a few steps away, you can ask about the fragrant smell of the spirit peach, and the fragrance is also mixed with wisps of aura, which makes people salivate.
"If I'm guessing correctly, Mr. Wei is not talking about this kind of peach." Zhu Wuxian held the spirit peach in the palm of his hand and asked with a smile.
The eyes of the children were almost glued to the spirit peach, their lips were slightly open, and saliva was about to flow out.
"Mr. Wei said that the peach is only the size of a fist, not this one."
"Mr. Wei said that peaches have pink and red, and they are the same as this one."
"Mr. Wei said..."
…
Qinglan pursed her lips and looked away from the spirit peach, "If you have any questions, say it first, I will say what I can say, and if I can't say it, even if you give it to me, I won't say it." ”
When the other children heard Qinglan's words, they also came back to their senses, wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths, lowered their heads, and didn't look at the spirit peach in Zhu Wuxian's hand.
"Okay." Zhu Wuxian did not move in his hands and continued to hold the spirit peach.
"I want to ask, you say 'death' so easily, do you know what death is? Are you afraid of it? ”
After wishing no injury finished speaking, Qinglan exhaled imperceptibly.
Asking these questions does not involve the secrets of the village, as long as you can answer him, you can eat the peaches that Mr. Wei said.
Calm down, Qinglan met Zhu Wu's eyes.
"Mr. Wei said that when people die, they will go to another place, they will look at us in another place, and the more bitter they are before they die, the less they will cry in that place, the better they will live, they will be able to eat a full meal, and they will not have to worry about whether they have enough aura when they cultivate.
Don't worry about being killed. ”
Buddha? Zhu Wuxian's eyes narrowed slightly, it seems that this Mr. Wei is still a person in the sand gate.
"I'm done, can you teach us Keju?" Qinglan controlled her eyes and did not look at Zhu Wuxian's hand.
She thought that peaches were so valuable that they would definitely not be given to them.
Zhu Wuxian came back to his senses, stretched his palm forward, and said with a smile, "Okay! ”
"Bell, bell, bell..."
A bell rang and came from afar.
The children who heard the bell ran to the place where the bell had come.
"What's going on?" Zhu Wuxian grabbed Qinglan's arm, could it be that someone came to commit it? This bell is a warning!
"Mr. Wei is going to start lecturing us, we have to hurry over." Qinglan tried to break away from Zhu Wuwu's palm.
"Oh, that's it!" Zhu Wuxian's heart fell.
"Peach for you, I'll teach you Keju after listening to Mr. Wei's lecture."
I wish no injury and stuffed the peach into Qinglan's arms.
Qinglan glanced at Zhu Wuxian in surprise, he really gave us the peach.
didn't have time to think about it, Qinglan hugged the peach and ran in the direction where everyone left, and disappeared after a few breaths.
Zhu Wuxian looked at Qinglan's disappearing back, and thought flashed in his eyes, there is something strange here, it's just that the aura has disappeared, why don't you even have a fruit like a peach.
And look at their feet, they are all barefoot, even the people in the hall are too, Zhu Wuxian remembered a few people sitting in the hall, even the red-faced old man on the main couch is barefoot, since entering the village, Chen Chiyu is wearing a pair of worn hemp shoes on his feet, no, and the mysterious Xiang Lao at the door, he seems to be wearing a pair of shoes that are so dirty that he can't see the color, style and material.
Although the clothes on his body are shabby, they are neat and tidy, and he doesn't even have a pair of shoes.
Zhu Wuxian frowned, puzzled.
"Brother Zhu." Chen Chiyu appeared behind Zhu Wuxian with a smile and sighed easily.
"It can be regarded as helping the old village owner to round the field, I persuaded him at the beginning, don't hide the people in the village, tell them the truth, he has to be strong, saying that he can find a way, now it's okay, don't be strong, hahahaha."
Zhu Wuxian smiled and nodded, and inadvertently skimmed to Chen Chiyu's feet, it was indeed a pair of weathered bast shoes.
"Brother Chen, I don't know something."
"Oh? I wish my brother but it doesn't hurt to speak! Chen Chiyu waved his hand.
From the time Zhu Wuxian killed a group of demon cultivators with spiritual power, he said that Zhu Wuxian regarded him as his own.
Zhu Wuxian said softly, "I killed a group of demon cultivators in the big table village, and they were naked, and they had some weeds tied to their bodies.
I thought it was because they had already lost their human nature because they had eaten people, and they were no different from wild beasts, and the village, which had never eaten people, should be different from them, but now it seems that this is indeed the case. ”
Chen Chiyu nodded lightly, agreeing with what Zhu Wuxian said.
"After coming to the village, although the people in the village were all neatly dressed, they did not wear shoes on their feet." Zhu Wuxian said.
Chen Chiyu looked down at the feet of the two of them, wished no injury to kick a pair of boots on his feet, he was wearing a pair of bast shoes that were so dirty that he couldn't see it, he looked up and laughed, without the slightest embarrassment.
"Hahahaha, I wish my brother is worthy of being the leader of the troops, and he is meticulous."
Chen Chiyu praised.
"Brother Chen praised it." Zhu Wuxian nodded slightly.
Chen Chiyu put away his laughter and said with a straight face.
"Brother Zhu, I didn't find anything wrong at first, but after chasing those few demon cultivators into the formation this time, I wandered around the mortal city for two days and found some things."
Chen Chiyu squatted down and beckoned Zhu Wuxian to squat down as well.
The two squatted on the ground, and Chen Chiyu stretched out his fingers and scratched on the ground.
"It's not just the clothes and shoes that are wrong, but there are all kinds of mortals in the city, iron, weaving, ceramics, carpenters......
But outside of the array, there is nothing! ”
Chen Chiyu paused, "It's like, it's like, it's like those cities are hundreds of years earlier than our stockades, no, it's not early." ”
Chen Chiyu shook his head.
"It's not that the city is early, it's that the village is late.
I found in some subtleties that there is no difference between the two, but it is the same as wishing that these things are missing out of thin air in the stockade. ”
Chen Chiyu frowned, and his tone was puzzled.
Zhu Wuxian listened to Chen Chiyu's words, and also fell into deep thought, "Could it be that the three immortal sects did it?" ”
"It's not."
An abrupt voice came from behind the two of them.
Zhu Wuxian and Chen Chiyu looked back, with white hair and white beard, and their eyes were cloudy.
"Xiang Lao." The two stood up and bowed slightly.
Xiang Lao appeared behind the two of them at some point, silently.
He really didn't look as simple as it seemed, and he hid it deeply! Zhu Wuxian didn't notice a little breath, and whispered in his heart.
"It's not those three, those three don't have that much ability." Xiang Lao waved his hand and said slowly.
"Before the appearance of the formation, the inside and outside were the same, and the aura was equally vibrant, even in the mortal world, there was a little aura, but then it suffered a disaster, and the three families became what they are now in order to protect themselves."
Xiang Lao said very vaguely, just said it simply.
"The inside is preserved, but the outside is not preserved, so what things are passed down by word of mouth and things written down in books are gone, only the exercises of cultivation are left, who knows, the aura begins to escape, and there is no use in leaving so much effort in vain!"
