024, Sage (I)

The golden lion slowed down when it entered the village, and the little little man with a bare ass ran over and stood on tiptoe to touch its mane very affectionately, without the slightest fear, obviously familiar with it.

Huwa now understands why the village here does not need a wall, there is such a giant lion, and the fierce beasts in the wilderness do not dare to run to disturb it. To put it mildly, it doesn't need Jiu Ling to take the initiative to expel the surrounding beasts, it only needs the edge of this area, and it can urinate regularly with its original body.

At this time, an elder's voice scolded a group of half-grown children and said, "How many times have I told you, I can't call you Rhubarb, I want to call Mr. Huang respectfully!"

A naughty child retorted: "It's okay to call Rhubarb, Mr. Huang is never angry." ”

The elder shouted again: "Although Mr. Huang is not angry, we must not be disrespectful!"

The habit here is to eat two meals a day, and in the winter there is not much work in the fields, and only some of the laborers go out after breakfast, while the rest stay in the village to do other work, and the children play in the open space. Hearing the children's screams, the adults also came out, and under the leadership of a middle-aged man, they respectfully saluted Mr. Huang.

The middle-aged man's name was Wen Jie, and he was not only the patriarch of this village, but also the leader of the entire tribe composed of all six villages in the area. At first glance, he didn't seem to have any magical powers, but sensing the characteristics of his divine energy, Huwa found that this person had already cultivated in the three realms. When I entered the village and saw these people, the tiger baby had come down from the back of the golden lion.

Wen Jie stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Huang, how is Mr. Qing doing lately?...... Who is this gentleman, and how did you carry him into the village?"

The golden lion said, "Master is still in retreat and cultivating, and he is not allowed to appear for the time being. This is Master Peng Keng, the divine doctor of Ba Yuan, and he is also a friend of Shizun, so I specially invited him to help Shizun. You can now ask for help from the Master for what you have asked for help from Him. ”

The villagers were overjoyed when they heard this, and they bowed to the ground one after another. Even the naughty children behaved and bowed down like adults. The tiger baby hurriedly stretched out her hand to help the patriarch, and let everyone not have to be polite. In the eyes of these people, he saw a visceral reverence and adoration, and especially when the children looked at him, there was an indescribable curiosity and awe in their expressions.

Huwa could see that the reaction of the villagers had nothing to do with his identity as the "miracle doctor Peng Keng", this is a place that is almost isolated from the world, and there has been very little news on Ba Yuan for a hundred years, and the people here do not know who Peng Keng's name is. But the tiger baby entered the village on the back of a lion, and Jiu Ling introduced him as a friend of Mr. Qing, which immediately made everyone awe-inspired.

Those little kids in the village who are not very sensible. When I saw "Mr. Huang", I dared to laugh and call "Rhubarb", and stepped forward to touch the lion's mane, but when I heard that the tiger baby and Mr. Qing were almost the same characters, they didn't dare to be naughty, and it seemed that if they were naughty again, they would be beaten by adults.

After everyone got up, they all stood there waiting for Huwa's instructions, as long as Huwa didn't speak, they didn't dare to speak first. It was the golden retriever lion who spoke: "Lord Peng Keng has come from afar, welcome him to my master's residence to rest first, and talk about it tomorrow." Patriarch Wenjie. In the future, if the clansmen need to ask for help, you will go to Lord Peng Keng, just like you did with my master before. ”

The people here did not do anything well, and the people dispersed. Wen Jie and the golden lion led the tiger baby to the high slope behind the village, chatting all the way about the recent events in the village, and introducing the situation in this area to the tiger baby. Not only are the villagers not surprised by the golden lion, but even the lion can speak. Everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Huwa's residence is where the mysterious Mr. Gao Renqing used to live, leaving the village to walk some distance on the high slope, is an independent courtyard built by the mountain. Stand in the open space in front of the courtyard. You can see the village pastoral and other populous scenes here, including the situation of the other five villages.

The courtyard is flanked by tall old trees, the whole courtyard is shrouded in a lush canopy, the house is behind the cliff, and there are two rooms to the left and right of the main hall, with windows open to the courtyard. Further back, there is a quiet room carved out of the natural mountain cliff, which is very similar to the cultivation cave of the tiger baby on the Wufu Hill.

According to Wen Jie, about 70 years ago, there was no courtyard here, and Mr. Qing only sat under the tree all year round. Near this high slope where he sits, the wind and rain are undisturbed, and the grass and trees are evergreen all year round, so he is respected as "Mr. Qing". Seventy years ago, Mr. Qing went on a long trip and built this courtyard with his own hands.

Of course, these situations were not seen by Wen Jie with his own eyes, they happened before he was born, and he also listened to his grandfather. And Wen Jie's grandfather was the first group of clansmen to escape the scourge of war and move here. When Huwa heard this, she also understood in her heart that Mr. Qing had been going to Wufu Hill for seventy years, and after he came back, he imitated the cultivation cave on Wufu Hill to build this residence.

The courtyard of the house looks ordinary, but after seventy years it is still in its original state, not decaying at all, and it is kept very neat and plain, and it seems that it has been regularly cleaned. Jiu Ling previously said that his master had not shown up for a long time, and this period of time was indeed not short, it had been sixteen years. Huwa is only sixteen years old this year, and if he was born here, it seems that he would not have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Qing himself.

Wen Jie asked the tiger baby what he needed, and he asked the villagers to send it, but the tiger baby shook her head and said that she didn't need anything. When the patriarch said goodbye and left, he sighed: "Every time I ask Mr. Qing like this, his answer is the same as yours. And you are indeed a friend of Mr. Qing, and like him, you are an evergreen person. ”

After Wen Jie left, Huwa asked Jiu Ling with some confusion: "Why does the patriarch here say this about me?"

Jiu Ling explained: "Because you look like a teenager, he doesn't know how old you are, but in short, it won't be what it seems, so I sigh like this." ”

Huwa not only wanted to laugh, but also asked, "Then how big do you think I am?"

Jiu Ling: "It looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance is extraordinary, and he looks like he has achieved cultivation." Describe your state of mind when you are not tired of mundane affairs, and the appearance you manifest is your state of mind. ”

Huwa smiled: "I forgot to tell you before, in fact, I am only sixteen years old, of course this is what it looks like." ”

When the tiger baby first left the wilderness, he was not yet fourteen years old, and he was still described as a child, and in the past two years, he has obviously grown taller, and his physique is much stronger than before, and there is no difference from ordinary adult men, but his expression is still a little childish, and his eyes are still as pure as a baby.

If there is any other change in addition to his appearance, it is vaguely with a sharp and murderous aura, which invisibly makes people feel heavy and depressed. If you are already familiar with each other, you may not be aware of this, but when ordinary people see the current tiger baby at first glance, they subconsciously feel a little afraid to approach lightly.

This change may be related to the experience of the tiger baby coming in, which happened unconsciously, especially after killing Xiao Shen, but he himself was not clearly aware of it.

At the beginning, Xiling, the master of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, listened to the introduction of "Little Mister" by Hongyuan, the city lord of Feihong City, and deduced that the tiger baby was the legendary elephant sha, because when the elephant sha walked in Bayuan, he was known as a boy to describe people. If Hongyuan sees the current tiger baby again, I am afraid that the original judgment will be overturned, because Mr. Xiao has grown up, and his temperament has changed.

This is the natural process of growth, and it is accompanied by a natural change in mood.

The golden lion was very surprised and admired, and led the tiger baby into the house as he spoke, the giant lion's size could not enter the door at all, and it turned into the shape of a man in the prime of life, and said to the tiger baby: "Actually, I still feel more comfortable and comfortable in this way." ”

Since the tiger baby wants to stay here, Jiu Ling will go to Bamuro Country to report his safety. Huwa asked him not to set off in a hurry, and first passed on his method of restraining the breath of demon cultivation. The so-called teaching can't just explain the secret of running the divine energy, Jiuling also has to try it on the spot under the guidance of the tiger baby, and if there is something wrong, it will be corrected or improved on the spot.

The tiger baby has never taught a lion demon to do this before, as for the vine gold and vine flower, they are both mastiffs, and their vitality and rhythm characteristics are different from those of lions. If the tiger baby can find a way that works for both mastiffs and lions, then he can be regarded as truly enlightened by this secret method.

While Jiu Ling was trying to operate his divine energy, the tiger baby was sensing and instructing, and it would take at least one night for this demon cultivator to figure it out. Understanding it doesn't mean that he has practiced it, so that he can slowly cultivate and become proficient on the road.

Huwa just began to explain the mysteries of the law, and the patriarch Wenjie came with a lot of clansmen and sent all kinds of daily things, which were the best things in the village. Although Huwa said that he didn't need anything, the villagers still tried to send him what he might need. The patriarch led the crowd to stand outside the courtyard gate and speak, and did not dare to walk in without permission.

Jiu Ling didn't show up out of the house, and the tiger baby opened his mouth to thank them, and let them put all their things in the yard, and then no one came to disturb them. The next day, Jiu Ling left, taking the message of the tiger baby. And Huwa stood in front of the courtyard gate, looking at this out-of-this-world countryside with her back hand, and then turned around to see Mr. Qing's residence, thinking of not the cultivation cave on Wufu Hill, but her hometown Lu Village.

Mr. Qing, whom he has never met, reminds Huwa of a person, who is Granny Shui.

Granny Shui's house is at the back of the village, and there is also an open space in front of the house, and Granny Shui can always find all kinds of movements in the village in time on weekdays. Although the village and the topography of this house are different from those of Lu Village, the feeling for Huwa is similar. (To be continued......)
