Chapter 35: The Sparrow Asks About Life and Death

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated, and looked up at Liu Xunxiang, both of them knew it, but there were other villagers in front of them, so they all pretended not to know, and arched their hands at Liu Xunxiang: "Thank you, Mr. Liu." ”

Seeing this, the others also followed suit and thanked Liu Xunxiang.

Mang Gu was also in this crowd, looking at Liu Xunxiang standing in front of the village chief, his eyes were very complicated, Mang Gu was not a stunned young man who had never seen the world, after seeing Liu Xunxiang kill the half-story beast like killing a chicken, how could he not understand the gap between himself and him, smiled self-deprecatingly, and muttered softly: "It turned out to be an immortal." ”

Liu Xunxiang naturally also saw the recklessness standing behind the crowd, looking at his departing back looked a little lonely, Liu Xunxiang could only sigh silently in his heart, this world is so indifferent, as a mortal recklessness, it is destined not to be comparable to Liu Xunxiang who became a monk, as for Liu Xunxiang, in the past millions of years, there is such a one.

The happiest in the crowd is Wu Zhuangshi, in fact, when Liu Xunxiang often sent herbs to the village at that time, in Wu Zhuangshi's heart, Liu Xunxiang was already an unattainable existence, not to mention that he now knows that he is an immortal who can do anything, which makes him even more excited in his heart, thinking that he has also drunk wine with the immortal, this cowhide is enough for himself to blow for several generations.

I wanted to go over to say hello, but I accidentally saw the fear in Wu Wanniang's eyes, so Liu Xunxiang had no choice but to give up, greeted everyone, and left in the respect of the villagers.

After sending Liu Xunxiang away, the village chief summoned everyone to count the casualties and clean up the battlefield, and was busy until the third day, when the village was cleaned up.

And in the past three days, Liu Xunxiang has been sitting in his own house and has not left, and no one dares to come to his door to disturb, this atmosphere makes Wu Zhuangshi, who was still complacent and living next to the immortal's house, also feel a little depressed, and even usually walk at home began to be a little light-hearted, lest he make some noise to Liu Xunxiang next door.

After going back and forth, Wu Wanniang couldn't stand it anymore, after her brother accidentally knocked over the stone basin and made a piercing sound, she was taken out by her father and beaten hard, she couldn't restrain herself anymore, and ran out of the house despite her father and aunt's obstruction, and smashed her white little fist towards Liu Xunxiang's door.

This smash, her aunt's eyes were smashed and she fainted directly.

As a result, when she smashed her second punch, it smashed into the air, and the first punch did not hit the plank as she wished, but smashed into a slightly warm chest.

Liu Xunxiang, who was already taller than Wu Wanniang, looked at her with her head slightly lowered, her face was expressionless and she couldn't see her joy and anger, which made Wu Wanniang's heart tremble, and she hurriedly retracted her hand and took two steps back.

There was silence all around, Wu Zhuangshi had a little horror in his eyes, and the villagers on the side of the road also had different expressions at this time, some wanted to regret coming to see the excitement and now wanted to leave but didn't dare, and some watched Wu Zhuangshi's family start to gloat, but they didn't dare to pant loudly.

"What?"

The simple and clear words came out of Liu Xunxiang's mouth, but everyone present couldn't help but shudder, and Wu Wanniang began to feel a little annoyed in her heart that she was still too impulsive, these immortals are all high-minded and moody big people, even if they have eaten at their own house before, but once they turn their faces, it is ruthless.

Wu Wanniang, who didn't dare to let Liu Xunxiang wait for a long time, had a thought in her heart, and said: "I know you are an immortal, but you don't come out for a few days, and we don't know what you're doing inside, so I'm afraid that making a little noise will make you unhappy, and then I will slaughter our village in a rage, so I don't dare to walk at home now, and my brother was picked up by Daddy because he accidentally kicked over a wooden basin, I really can't stand this, I just want to see what is going on with you." ”

Wu Wanniang ignored her father's obstruction on the side, and spit out all the grievances of the past few days in one breath, after she finished speaking, Wu Zhuangshi's legs were weak, and he sat down directly on the ground, and the others also began to feel apprehensive in their hearts, thinking of some rumors that they had heard about monks in other villages before, and someone scolded Wu Zhuangshi's family fiercely in their hearts.

Liu Xunxiang couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this, but after thinking about it, after all, his current self, in the eyes of this group of villagers, is no different from a strange beast, just the kind of strange beast that can be carefully worshipped.

Just when Wu Wanniang was ready to pay the price, Liu Xunxiang's voice thought in her ears: "Here are some pills, take them and distribute them to everyone, remember, a family can only share one, eat and take it, otherwise you will not be able to bear the power of the medicine in it and go crazy and die." ”

After speaking, he beckoned, and summoned a small jar from the house, which was not supported by anything but moved to Wu Wanniang's front out of thin air, which made Wu Wanniang surprised and delighted in her heart, just smelling the smell of herbs in this jar, she knew that Liu Xunxiang did not lie to herself, because of this smell, she had smelled it at the door of the medical hall in Wanxiong Pass.

Wu Wanniang's little face became a little red because of excitement, which looked very pitiful, and Liu Xunxiang couldn't help but laugh, which made Wu Wanniang's face even redder.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Liu Xunxiang coughed lightly and walked straight out, along the way everyone gave way, which made Liu Xunxiang from the beginning of the discomfort to slowly get used to it, after a while, Liu Xunxiang walked to the door of the village chief's house, and before he knocked on the door, a voice came from the house: "Mr. Liu, please come in, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Liu Xunxiang's eyes stared, this old man, of course he wants to see, since he has already intervened in this matter, then there is no such innocence to leave, this rough truth he Liu Xunxiang still understands, because there is no more hesitation, and he stepped into the house.

The decorations in the house are still as simple and clean as before, but there is still a faint fishy smell in the air, I can't tell what kind of fishy smell it is, but the smell is very easy to identify.

The village chief looked at Liu Xunxiang who walked in, turned over the carbon fire in the brazier with a finger-thick branch, and said: "I didn't expect that Daoyou was so young and had such courage and intelligence, which made the old man look away. ”

Liu Xunxiang still has a calm gaze, but he is very vigilant in his heart, this old man is too eccentric, from the beginning to the present, there has never been any aura fluctuation in his body, and he is no different from a mortal at all, but a mortal, even if his eyesight is good, he can't see his cultivation at a glance, and now with this time, it is the third time he has come here to see this old man, but this time he has come to Liu Xunxiang to have a different feeling from the previous two times, this old man is very dangerous.

Still silent on the surface, Liu Xunxiang bowed his hand slightly, and said: "The predecessor has won the award, the kid actually has no other intentions, he just took refuge from the Song Kingdom, hoping to come here to worship a sect, learn his skills and go back to seek justice." ”

The village chief showed a strange light in his eyes, glanced at Liu Xunxiang with interest, and then smiled: "The young man who endures humiliation and hardships once succeeds in his ambition, and returns to the old land to be ashamed of the snow? ”

For Liu Xunxiang, he does have too many problems to figure out, although he also understands that it is not a good thing to be too curious, but if he wants to stop his troubles in this village, he can only solve it by coming to the old man in front of him.

Seeing that the village chief himself agreed, Liu Xunxiang was not polite, and immediately asked: "You brought out the beast tide this time, right?" ”

The village chief looked at Liu Xunxiang with some surprise, he thought that he had a high opinion of the kid in front of him, but he didn't expect to underestimate it, and then nodded, and said: "Little Taoist friend really impressed the old man, that's right, this beast tide is indeed caused by the old man." ”

Sure enough, it seems that his guess is not wrong, but what method did this old man use to attract the beast tide, Liu Xunxiang naturally wanted to know, but the questions asked were limited, so he had to keep asking questions that he wanted to ask more than this, so Liu Xunxiang continued to ask: "The second question, I want to ask, can I get out of this village alive." ”

The village chief didn't speak, and the temperature in the house seemed to be a little cold because of the words, and the dead wood in the brazier on the ground crackled, and some fragments of sparks floated up from the basin and slowly went out.

The two looked at each other, no one would budge, the reason why Liu Xunxiang asked was because he didn't want to die unclear, if he wanted to live, then he must take advantage of this time to ask clearly, ask clearly.

I don't know how long it took, it began to snow outside, the village chief moved, I saw him slowly stand up, slowly walked into the room, and when he came out again, there was a brown feather baby bird in his hand, this child bird was obviously not the first time to be caught, so it was held in the hand of the village chief and did not move, just straight and straight with his eyes closed.

Just when Liu Xunxiang was a little inexplicable, the old man said: "This question, let me answer you in another way, you can guess whether the fledgling in the old man's hand is dead or alive, if you guess correctly, you can live, if you guess wrong, you can't live." ”

Liu Xunxiang looked at the fledgling in the old man's hand, and a drop of cold sweat fell from the corner of his forehead, dripping on the hot charcoal in the brazier and making a sizzling sound.

How does he not know what this old man means, if he says alive, the old man in front of him will pinch the bird to death, if he says dead, the old man can let go of the bird, whether the bird is dead or alive, how can he have the final say, it seems that today, this is the key to life and death.

The village chief did not urge, just sat quietly on the stool, waiting for Liu Xunxiang's answer, for a long time, Liu Xunxiang replied: "Its life and death, lies in the seniors you and not in me, so the seniors your answer I already know, then the kid can only be the last question, if the seniors can answer, the kid is willing to offer this head, if the seniors can't answer, then give the kid a way to live, the kid promises not to know today's things, otherwise even if he dies today, the kid will ruin your game of chess." ”

The village chief's eyes shrank, this kid in front of him was eccentric, he really almost ruined his own business, it was not difficult to kill him, it was rare how to kill him in front of the villagers and still be able to uncover the matter safely, the Qin people have always had clear grievances and stubbornness, such a trouble, it is very likely to attract the attention of Wan Xiongguan, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After a little hesitation, the old man nodded and said, "Yes." ”
