Chapter 468: The Old Village Chief (Sixth Shift)
Not to mention whether the old village chief is reliable or not, after having dinner at Uncle Wang's house, Lin Xiao politely declined the kindness of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang to stay with him, and returned to his own hut.
This afternoon was obviously extremely important to Lin Xiao, and the information he got today might have news about the Sage Throne.
That temple and that god were the objects of Lin Xiao's attention.
No matter how this sounds, it seems to be a kind of restriction on this shijie by the original owner of this shijie, using the abstract image of the god to express his supreme status, and then using the exchange method to restrain the people in this shijie.
Lin Xiao didn't know if the original owner of this shijie was still alive or not, but he was at least sure of one thing, that is, he was definitely not here.
Otherwise, the entrance outside would not have appeared, after all, for such a relatively closed shijie, it is completely equivalent to a personal realm belonging to you, would you let others in casually?
This night, Lin Xiao didn't sleep, he was in good spirits and thought about it all night, and he didn't know what he was thinking about later, anyway, when he went out the next day, Lin Xiao went straight to the old village chief's house.
Older people don't realize that the old village chief is already in his nineties, with a full head of white hair and a large white beard, which looks quite like a fairy.
He had a wooden crutch in his hand, and there was not so much elaboration here, the crutch was just a branch with the thickness of an arm, which was slightly polished, and it looked as if it had been used for a long time, and it was all shiny.
"Old village chief, hello!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly as he approached.
The old village chief has bad ears, which Lin Xiao had already heard yesterday, so he spoke so loudly.
"Ah~!You said breakfast? I have eaten breakfast. The old village chief pursed his lips and said with a smile.
Lin Xiao was stunned, he shouted so loudly and the old village chief still heard it wrong, this ear has to be equipped with a hearing aid!
"The old village chief. I'll ask you something!" Lin Xiao walked a little closer and shouted even louder.
"Inquire about something, what do you want to inquire about?" the old village chief finally heard correctly.
"I want to inquire about the temple!" Lin Xiao shouted.
"Temple?" the old village chief smiled and nodded, "I worked in the temple back then, so if you ask me, I'll be the right person!"
Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "Old village chief, can you talk to me about it?"
Hearing this, the old village chief smiled and patted the threshold next to him, meaning to let Lin Xiao sit down.
Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to whether it was dirty or not, so he just sat on the threshold. Then he seriously looked sideways at the old village chief next to him.
Although the old village chief's ears are not good and his memory has lost a lot, he remembers the events of Yixi when he was young a long time ago.
"Back then, I was working in the temple in the most fuyao city closest to our village, when I was only twenty years old!" the old village chief began to recall.
At that time, the old village chief was still a young man of only twenty years old, and the young man was not afraid of tigers when he was born with a calf, so he wanted to go out and make a name for himself like those people in the city.
So the old village chief left his parents. Bidding farewell to his hometown, he came to Fuyao City, a hundred miles away from the village, to look for a job.
At that time, the old village chief's physique was not very strong, and he couldn't do some physical work at all, but he always did some meticulous work wrong. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. The coils he brought with him before going out had all been used up, there was no place to live or food, and his job was opened again, so the old village chief ran to the temple in the city to steal the food offered by those people's homes.
The temple though is the center of the whole city. However, there are no guards here, and there are only a few priests in the temple.
The old village chief relied on his intelligence and energy, and he really ate a full meal for a few days. However, such behavior obviously could not last long, so he was quickly caught.
I have to say that most of the gods in the temple are good people, in fact, most of the people in this shijie are relatively simple, unlike the people outside, everyone wants to grow a seven-trick heart, and calculates every day.
The old village chief was caught stealing food, but people didn't embarrass him, and seeing that he was still handsome, and he was quite pitiful, he let him stay, and he usually did not do particularly heavy work in the temple.
It's easy to clean the main hall every day.
The old village chief talked about this experience for a long time, Lin Xiao looked at him with a nostalgic expression, and couldn't help but didn't interrupt him, although Lin Xiao hadn't heard anything he wanted to know so far, about how to make offerings, whether the offerings were the divine stones in Uncle Wang's mouth, he didn't say anything.
Lin Xiao waited for more than an hour before the old village chief finished telling him about his magical experience in the temple.
It was only at this time that Lin Xiao dared to ask him about the confession.
"Offering!" said the old village chief, "they are all rich and noble, or only those with great abilities can do it." ”
Saying that, the old village chief couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao and said: "I knew your grandfather when I was young, at that time your grandfather was still a medicine shop, and he ran to the temple at two ends in three days, and every time he came, he always brought only one divine stone, so he made a wish to make his business prosperous, and he didn't expect that within a few years, his wish really came true." ”
Lin Xiao looked at the old village chief in surprise, he didn't expect that the old village chief would still recognize Lin Xiao's grandfather in this Shijie.
But it sounds like his cheap grandfather doesn't seem to be very generous, and he only brings a divine stone with him every time he goes, which sounds like it should belong to the kind of very small quantity, and it took several years to make a wish before he reached the standard of divine stones required for this wish, and then the wish came true.
From this sentence, Lin Xiao at least understood that the so-called offering did require the use of divine stones, and this sincerity was the number of divine stones, but where did this divine stone come from?
"Old Village Chief, do you know where to find the Divine Stone?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
"Looking?" the old village chief smiled, his mouth had already lost his teeth, and he couldn't close his smile at all.
"There's nowhere to find the Divine Stone, it's all from people with great skills who went to the Divine Wilderness to fight it!" said the old village chief.
God's wilderness?
It's another place that Lin Xiao doesn't know, and it sounds like this divine stone is not dug out like mining as Lin Xiao thought before, but out of it.
As for what to fight, Lin Xiao already had a guess in his heart.
The things that were beaten were nothing more than some fierce beasts, beasts, and the like, but Lin Xiao was strange, how could this divine stone run into their bodies? Could it be that the original owner of this shijie let those guys swallow it?
But if you swallow it, you will pull it out, could it be that they don't have that function?
But no matter how these divine stones got into the bodies of those guys, at least Lin Xiao already knew where the divine stones came from, but now he wanted to know where this divine wilderness was?
"Old Village Chief, do you know where the Divine Wilderness is?" Lin Xiao asked loudly.
"O God's Wilderness, look over there!" The old village chief stood up tremblingly, Lin Xiao was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly helped him.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the southeast direction, and said: "Over there, if you go thousands of miles over, you can see the wilderness of the gods, but you must not go there, there are only people with great ability to go, when I was young, I was also ignorant, and I went with people, which frightened me!"
As he spoke, the old village chief couldn't help curling the sleeve on his left hand, revealing a shriveled arm.
"You see, this wound on my hand was bitten by a jackal back then!" said the old village chief, pointing to the white scars on his arms.
Lin Xiao took a closer look, and it was really a sign of being bitten by a sharp tooth.
But this jackal, isn't the jackal a wild animal on the earth? Why did he come here again, if the jackals are all ferocious, then Lin Xiao doesn't think there will be any danger in this wilderness of the gods.
But thinking about the old village chief back then, he was just an ordinary person, and the place he went in must have been the periphery of the periphery, and it was estimated that the character he met there was not a powerful character, just a jackal, such an ordinary beast should not have a divine stone on it, right?
If the jackal also has a divine stone on it, then this divine stone is easy to get.
Putting down his sleeves, the old village chief didn't seem to have said that he had said it yet, he pulled Lin Xiao to sit down again, and then continued to tell him about some of his adventures when he was young.
Lin Xiao didn't know if these things were true, but he also had the right to understand the humanistic customs.
But just as he was listening to the rise of the old village chief's talk, Lin Xiao suddenly saw Uncle Wang, whom he had only met yesterday, running towards this side, and saw that he was sweating profusely and looked panicked, as if something had happened.
"Xiao Lin, Uncle Ge is back!" Uncle Wang said to Lin Xiao as soon as he ran here.
After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Lin Xiao up and was about to leave.
"Wait, Uncle Wang, I'll talk to the village chief!" Lin Xiao grabbed Uncle Wang, although Uncle Wang worked in the field all the year round, how could he compare his strength with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao exerted his strength slightly, and he couldn't pull it anymore.
"Old village chief, I'll go first, and I'll come back to listen to your story when I have time!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
The old village chief smiled happily and nodded, obviously there are not many young people who can find someone who is willing to listen to him tell these old-fashioned stories, and suddenly there is a person who is willing to listen, and the old village chief is also happy in his heart!
"Okay, Uncle Wang, let's go. Lin Xiao said to Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang nodded, and then pulled Lin Xiao again and ran in the direction of the village entrance.
As soon as the two left, the old village chief, who was originally sitting on the threshold, also stood up, looked at the direction the two left and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Hey~!, I'm afraid it's going to be messy again!" he said, turning around and walking towards the room. (To be continued......)
