Chapter 178: The Ransacked Village
"You're ready to go......"
Shen Yi nodded, and didn't waste any more time, he stretched out his claws and grabbed her hand when he spread out his dragon wings, and then rose into the air and flew towards the north with her.
But not long after, when passing a place in the Ridge Ridge, Tsuru saw that Hatsukumo noticed something and shouted, "Go down first." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Look below." She stretched out her hand and pointed to a place, Shen Yi looked at it, and the next second she couldn't help blinking.
"What's that?"
It's winter now, and the leaves of all the branches of the trees in the ridge have been carved out, and the mountains are bare at a glance, but in such a depressed picture, there is a touch of new green that is very conspicuous.
However, conspicuous is conspicuous, Shen Yi didn't care too much, and wondered: "What's so strange about this?" ”
"It could be a strange flower or something." Tsuru saw Chuyun and said, Shen Yi thought about it, and it was also ha.
The human civilization in this world has a history of 130,000 years since the extinction of the dragon race, and many elixirs have long been planted on a large scale, but there are still some elixirs that are difficult to cultivate on a large scale because they are extremely harsh on the growth environment.
These elixirs, if they are encountered in the wild, they can be picked if they can, and the old witch is now an alchemist, and she will use them whenever she can't keep them.
Even if she is not an alchemist, she can sell it for a good price if she picks it.
"Okay." Thinking of this, Shen Yi immediately swooped down and came to the ground to let go of Tsurumi Hatsuun.
However, after looking around, they were dumbfounded, where is the elixir, it is just a bunch of newly grown weeds.
"What's the elixir here? Are you kidding me? ”
Tsuru saw that Chuyun didn't speak, she couldn't understand, the weather was already very cold, unless it was spring now, otherwise it would be impossible for this weed to grow, she didn't believe in evil, she opened the weeds in front of her and observed it carefully, but this look, she was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yi also quickly came over, his eyes opened, and he glanced around again, feeling familiar, but he quickly remembered, isn't this the place where he landed last night?
Underneath the weeds, there was a pool of blood, not yet completely dry.
It was because of the presence of this pool of blood that these weeds grew overnight.
And the beach blood comes from the dragon blood on Shen Yi's body.
"Hey, the blood on my body still has this effect?" Shen Yi had surprise in his eyes.
Seeing Chuyun retract his hand, Tsuru looked at Shen Yi and said with some uncertainty: "When I was a child, I heard adults say that the blood of the dragon clan has the effect of life and death, flesh and bones, and ambergris is also the main material for refining high-grade elixir. ”
"Not your eyes? I can't give you dragon blood, and I'm not a masochist, but I salivate...... I can spit it out to you. ”
"I don't want it." Tsuru saw Hatsuun get up, came to the front and said softly, "Okay, let's go." ”
Shaking her head, Shen Yi grabbed her and flapped the dragon wings and flew into the air again.
His dragon blood can make weeds grow so vigorously in winter, he didn't expect this, and he hadn't shed blood in Qingyuan Sect before, but at that time, his blood didn't seem to have these effects, and it was only recently.
Well......
As his strength increased little by little, his size became larger day by day, and he also had extraordinary strength in his body, and a little bit of it could benefit some lives a lot.
When the whale falls, all things are born.
If you grow to the point of invincibility in the future, and your body size is unimaginably large, once you die, wouldn't it be ......
Hurriedly threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, what can't die, he doesn't want to die.
At the same time, Tsurumi Hatsukumo was also silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
As a dragon, Xuan Li is a treasure all over his body, according to the word of mouth in the family.
It can be said that in the future, she can refine the pills that other alchemists can refine, and the pills that they can't refine can also be refined by herself......
If she could, she would even be able to refine the elixir of the ancient period.
It's a pity, how the elixir in ancient times was refined today has no way of knowing, even if Shen Yi is willing to give dragon blood ambergris, she doesn't know how to use it.
I'll talk about that later.
She shook her head and glanced down, which was so unbelievable that it scared her little heart tight.
"Xuan Li, you fly lower!"
"What are you afraid of, hold on...... Black...... Old witch, you wait. ”
"Don't don't, I was wrong, I didn't mean it, master~ I'm sorry." Realizing that he had called the wrong name, Tsurumi Hatsuyun hurriedly begged for mercy, but Shen Yi ignored it, not only did he not fly low, but flew higher and higher.
And the more frightened she became, the more he intensified.
"Host, host...... Don't do that, it's too high. ”
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid."
"Now you know you're scared? Why didn't you know just now? ”
"I said it wasn't intentional......"
"Yesterday, I said that I wouldn't call Xuan Li anymore, and I would keep calling me ~master~, hey, I forgot about it completely today." Shen Yi was angry, and the more his wings fanned harder.
"I didn't, I just ......"
"Do you know it's wrong?"
"I was wrong."
"Speak softly in my voice."
"I was wrong~"
"Why are you still clipped up?"
"What's clamped up?"
"Did you just call that voice a clip in my time?"
"I ...... Then you can fly a little lower, right? ”
Shen Yi nodded, and was about to fly low, but thinking of something later, the dragon wing shook again and rushed directly into the clouds
"Hmm......"
"What's up? Not convinced? ”
"Nope."
"You'd better not have one."
"What do you want to do?"
"That's right." Shen Yi's tone was a little weird. "If you call me in the future, you must not only call me master, but also add your own name."
"What?"
"What's your name?"
"......" Tsuru saw the question mark in Chuyun's mind, and he really couldn't figure out what Shen Yi meant.
"My name, Tsurumi Hatsukumo?"
"I didn't ask your last name, I asked your first name."
"Hatsuyun."
"By the way, what do you want to do now?"
"I want you to fly a little lower."
"Get rid of me."
“…… I want you to fly a little lower. ”
"Who am I yours?"
"Are you...... My master. ”
"Good! Put the address of me in front and say it together. ”
"......" After thinking for a while, she quickly understood, and said quietly: "Master, Chuyun wants you to fly lower......"
"Uh...... It's not bad, but it's still not good, let me think about it. ”
"Ah......h
……
"Oh, you're doing something wrong, aren't you?"
"Hmm."
"Who's doing something wrong."
"Me."
"What did you do wrong?"
"You shouldn't be called Xuanli."
"Okay, apologize now."
"Master, I was wrong."
"Huh? Who did it wrong? ”
Tsuru saw that Chuyun looked up at him, her eyes were full of helplessness, and she felt that this Xuanli was a little nervous.
But no matter what Shen Yi is, she has to compromise in the end, who is in a weak position.
"Master, Chu Yun is wrong, bypass me......"
"Yes, yes, that's it, it looks like you're not stupid yet."
Shen Yi was finally satisfied, and then he began to lower the altitude, and said while flying: "Old witch, don't be unconvinced, if I didn't have a lot of adults last night, I see that you are too pitiful, otherwise you will not be able to slow down for a few days, and you will have to thank me." ”
"Oh......"
"Oh what?"
"Master, Chu Yun knows."
"It's always going to be like this, don't forget."
"Uh-huh."
"Clip it up and say it again."
"I ......"
"Hurry up."
……
I don't know how long I flew, and I don't know where I went, Tsurumi Hatsuyun let Shen Yi fall back to the ground after seeing people in the distance.
It was snowing again, and the temperature was getting colder, so she had to put an extra layer of clothing on her.
"What is this place?" Shen Yi looked around and asked, and Tsurumi Chuyun shook his head, she had never been to these places, how could she know?
"You come in first, I'll go a little further and find someone to ask."
Shen Yi nodded and did not refuse, and in the next second, he turned into a ray of light and squeezed into her consciousness space.
After resting for a while, she took a step along the muddy road to the distant spot where smoke rose.
She hadn't gone far when she heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of her, and when she heard the movement, she stopped and looked up.
After a while, he saw three men with long swords on horseback approaching him.
"Wait a minute." Tsurumi Hatsuun stretched out his hand out of the umbrella on the side of the road and beckoned, and the three of them also looked over after hearing the sound, but the strange thing is that the moment they saw Tsurumi Hatsuun, the three of them frowned and were full of vigilance, not only did they not stop, but pulled the reins and the horse ran faster.
Pedal scurried past her.
She looked at the backs of the three of them leaving in a hurry, and didn't react for a while.
"This ......"
"I'm afraid I misunderstood something."
She shook her head, didn't pay much attention, just picked up the umbrella and continued to walk forward.
The smoke rose not far from her, and in a short time the pungent smell of burnt food entered her nose, and she stopped, her brow furrowed.
In the space of consciousness, Shen Yi also sensed that something was wrong with a sweep of his senses.
"It's weird, there's no one in that village."
Tsurumi Hatsukumo didn't speak, and the steps he stopped took again, but it was much faster than before, and after a while, he saw a building in the distance that had been charred and collapsed by the fire.
This is a small village, and the number of buildings is only a few dozen households, but the people who live here are all lying in a pool of blood, corpses all over the ground, and the strong smell of blood is blown by the cold wind, and Tsurumi Hatsukumo also holds a long sword in his hand.
"This ...... The village was slaughtered. ”
“……”
With a sword in one hand, she slowly entered the village with a frown.
"Are there any living people in here?" She asked Shen Yi, and the other party touched it again with her senses, and unsurprisingly, there were no living people here at all.
"No, they're all dead."
She took a deep breath, and what she had seen before was not cooking smoke at all, but white smoke rising from the burning village and the snow falling on the charred ruins.
It seems that the fire has just been extinguished.
Most of the corpses lying on the ground were men, and a small number of women were in sight, except for the children.
Tsurumi Hatsukumo turned over one of the corpses and examined it, then quickly got up to check on the corpses left by the others.
Some died from knife wounds, some died from sword wounds, some were killed by bows and arrows, and there was a broken arrow stuck in the door of a house in the distance, and she pulled it down and looked at it, and the arrow was very rough and unscrupulous, and at first glance it was not an arrow used by people in the army.
"How?"
"The village was attacked by bandits, and the children and some women were taken away." Tsurumi Hatsukumo said as he looked at the burned down building, which was probably the most imposing house in the village, if I guessed correctly.
She and Shen Yi are most likely in Changzhou now.
The war in the north of Daliang continues, and Changzhou belongs to the northern boundary, although the situation is not as bad as Jizhou in the north, but it is not much better, a large number of people in Jizhou who suffered from the war fled here, there is no penny, no food, and no relatives, this situation has a high probability of falling into the grass.
Not to mention Changzhou, even Weizhou, where the capital of the King of Great Liang is located, has also seen many mountain bandit forces composed of refugees from the north.
Throwing away the broken arrow in his hand, Tsurumi Hatsumo turned around, and after a while, he found a stone tablet with the words "Four Rivers" engraved on it.
Seeing that Chuyun's heart was relieved, he immediately took out the map, opened it and found the location of Weizhou's ridge, his eyes slowly moved upward, and after a while, he found a place on the map that was marked as "Sihezhuang".
Sure enough, Shen Yifei was crooked, her next site was originally Guangfugang within the boundaries of Changzhou, and these Sihezhuang, looking at the map, are afraid that Guangfugang is one or two hundred miles away.
"Four Rivers Village...... Where are you going next? Shen Yi asked, and she stretched out her hand and pointed to a place called Fenghe on the map, and replied: "Go here, I've heard of it here before, there is a big town." ”
"What are you doing there?"
"Buy some dry food, thyme or something, emm...... Buy another horse to use on the road. ”
"Do you have enough money to buy so much?"
"There are twenty taels of silver more, and it should be ...... Is that okay? She was a little unsure, and Shen Yi said unceremoniously after listening: "Enough fart!" ”
"How is it not enough? I still want to sell the Yun Beast Pill, and it's enough to sell it out. ”
"Sell it first, you old witch."
"......" She stopped talking, turned her head and walked towards the village again, she couldn't see her expression, Shen Yi also guessed something, this old witch was unhappy.
"Anyway, if I don't fly you directly to Fenghe Town, it will only take more than half an hour."
"No, I can't find a second god like you in this world, and it will be troublesome if someone sees it."
"Whatever, I see it's getting dark, you don't want to spend the night in this village, do you?"
"Nope." Tsurumi Hatsuyun shook her head, although she was not afraid of the dead, but these villagers in the village were not in the mood to help them collect their bodies.
It's true that you can find a random house to live in, but the outside is full of corpses, which is unfortunate to think about.
She would rather spend the night camping in the wilderness.
"And what are you going in there for?"
"Let's see if we can find something useful."
She said, and after that, Shen Yi didn't care about her anymore, and let her rummage back and forth in the village, and after a quarter of an hour, she left with a disappointed face.
The good things in this village have long been taken away by the bandits, not to mention any valuable and useful items, even a chicken feather has not been left for her. (End of chapter)
