() Thinking that his son Dadun fell off the cliff in vain, the iron lock pillar hated to swallow the wild boar alive. "Let's go, let's go, let's die!" he rushed to the boar on the edge of the cliff who had just gotten up in disarray.

"Lao Tie!" Li Lianshan shouted anxiously from behind.

At this tense moment, the iron lock pillar holding the heart of death suddenly heard the most beautiful voice in the world, the cry of his son Da Dun'er: "Daddy, woo woo ......" He hurriedly stopped, and watched in surprise as a young woman stepped on a flying sword and slowly rose from the bottom of the cliff, and her son Da Dun'er was being held by her hands.

The woman slowly descended and put the big dun down. Da Dun'er cried and got into the arms of the iron lock pillar. The iron lock pillar hugged his son tightly, for fear of losing him again.

Suddenly, the iron lock pillar let go of the big pier, knelt down in front of the woman, and kowtowed three times in a row. Da Dun'er, Li Lianshan, and all the other children and hunting team members also knelt down and kowtowed to the woman. In everyone's minds, this girl seems to be a fairy who has been on earth for nine days.

The boar had already stood up, and it was panting in anger when it realized that the man who had just been knocked off the cliff had been rescued. After a pause, the boar lowered its head and lunged at the woman with her back to it.

"Beware!" cried the Iron Lockpost eagerly.

"Evil beast, I dare to be presumptuous here!" the woman shouted, as if she had eyes behind her back, and turned around and swung her sword, and the fairy sword drew several dazzling white lights, and the wild boar suddenly stopped and did not move. After a few breaths, two lines of blood gradually appeared on its head. When the blood line extended to the body, the wild boar, which had just been invincible, actually split into four pieces at once and fell to the ground. The blood gushing out was steaming, melting a large patch of snow around it, and a rich bloody aura spread through the air.

Everyone was stunned, and the wild boar, which was helpless to be sharpened with sharp blades, was actually cut into pieces by a girl like cutting tofu! Everyone was full of awe for the woman in front of them.

"Vomit" A child suddenly vomited, the tragic situation of the wild boar being torn apart was a little terrifying, and the smell of blood was unpleasant.

"Immortal...... Aunt, thank you for saving my son. The Iron Lock Pillar said respectfully.

The woman smiled: "I'm not a 'fairy girl', I'm just an immortal cultivator." I happened to be passing by here and saw that you were in danger, so I came to my aid. No thanks. ”

The girl laughed, how could this be a gesture? The wild boar was covered in steel and iron bones, and more than 20 of us could not help it, and the girl really helped us a lot. Li Lianshan said.

"Heh, you've provoked a demon beast, it's strange if you can help it. The woman said.

"Demon beasts?" many people wondered, they had no idea about demon beasts at all.

"Girl, you said that wild boar is a demon beast? I have heard that demon beasts have great powers, and they can fly to the sky and kill people invisibly. "Iron Lock Pillar never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to see a demon beast in this life.

The woman said lightly: "There are also strong and weak demon beasts, and this hyena mad pig is relatively weak, and it is not the same as the eight major types of demon beasts. ”

Li Lianshan said: "No wonder this beast has a pair of iron muscles and bones, it turns out to be a demon beast!

The woman shook her head: "If you hadn't tried to hunt it, it wouldn't have been killed." Everything has a cause and an effect. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. With that, her sword flew up, and she disappeared without a trace.

Li Lianshan scratched his head and said to the iron lock pillar: "Listen to her, or did we hurt that crazy pig?"

The iron lock pillar patted him on the shoulder: "Don't care, the idea of immortal cultivators is very different from us ordinary people, they don't even have to eat, how can it be like we still rely on food to maintain our lives." Then, he shouted to the hunting team members behind him: "This demon pig is not small, pack up, and hunt some small prey, and we can go home!"

Cheers of joy echoed through the mountains.

Three days later, the hunting party returned from the mountains with a full load. Pheasants, hares, deer, roe deer, and more filled one flatbed cart, while another was dedicated to transporting the hyena-bogs split in half. Came to the entrance of Yanxun Village, the iron lock pillar felt a trace of strangeness, usually the villagers saw the returning hunting team from afar, they would definitely ring the bell on the big tree at the entrance of the village, and then the villagers would go out enthusiastically to greet them, everyone shared meat and drank wine, so happy. But until I entered the village today, I didn't find a single figure.

The hunters went home with their own doubts, and Iron Lockpost pushed open the door of his house with his three sons. When I walked into the bedroom, I saw my daughter-in-law lying on the bed with a sallow face. The iron lock pillar hurriedly picked up the scoop and scooped half a scoop of water, helped his daughter-in-law and fed it slowly.

The daughter-in-law slowly opened her eyes, saw that it was an iron lock pillar, and actually pushed him, and said weakly: "Hurry up...... Let's go, there's a plague......"

"Plague?" The iron lock pillar was startled, no wonder there was no one outside, it turned out that they were all sick, "Why did you suddenly have a plague?" Da Dun'er, hurry up and invite Zhao Langzhong to the neighboring village!"

"Da Dun'er, don't go...... Pillar, take the child away...... The whole col ...... It's all plague......" The daughter-in-law of the iron lock pillar did not finish her words, and passed out again.

"Daddy......" The children stared at the iron lock pillar. Tie Suozhu gritted his teeth: "Children, let's go! Go to Miaozhou to invite a good doctor for your mother!" If it was just Tie Suozhu, he didn't care, but now there are three children, no matter what, they can't be infected with the plague!

After taking some trays and dry food, he went out of the house, and found that there were many people standing outside, all of them from the hunting team.

Li Lianshan frowned bitterly: "Lao Tie, this ......"

"That's right, Lao Li, you take these people who are not sick to Miaozhou, and then invite a few good men to come. I really can't rest assured that my family is here, Da Dun'er him

I'll leave it to you!" Iron Locker was reluctant to leave his seriously ill wife.

Li Lianshan's eyes turned red: "If you are not willing, will I be willing? I still want you to take those two boys from my family!"

"I'm not going either!" "Me too!" said a few more people.

"I'm the village chief, listen to me!" Iron Suozhu shouted angrily, "Don't leave one by one, do you want Yanxun Village to die?

Everyone was silent. Tie Suozhu sighed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of the patients in the village, you take the coils, take the children to Miaozhou, the plague has not disappeared, don't let them come back." ”

"Lao Tie, where can you be busy alone?Just let me stay with you!" Li Lianshan said.

Tie Suozhu looked at Li Lianshan's determined gaze and said, "Okay, Lao Li and I stay, and the others hurry up." There is a plague in the mountain passes, so fly over the beach and mountains. Hurry up and go home to pack up the soft and bring some dry food. Da Mao, you are responsible for leading the team. ”

Half an hour later, there were a total of thirty people in Yanxun Village who were not sick, and they left step by step.

Taking care of the sick kept Tie Suozhu and Li Lianshan very busy, but the plague was so severe that the terminally ill villagers died one after another, and the two buried one after another in grief. Fortunately, the two of them never contracted the plague. This can't help but make the iron lock pillar a little strange, the fierce plague that has spread to the entire Feitan mountain col, the two of them have not been infected for more than half a month. After calculating the fact that from Yanxun Village to Feitan Mountain to Miaozhou, it will take more than a month to go back and forth at the earliest.

On this day, he had just finished cooking rice porridge for his daughter-in-law, when he suddenly heard a crisp female voice shouting, "Is there anyone here?"

Iron Lock Pillar immediately rushed out of the room, but saw a young girl, who did not look very old, wearing a Taoist robe.

Seeing that the person who came was not Lang Zhong, Tie Suozhu was disappointed and asked, "I don't know what happened to the girl? There is a plague here, so you better leave quickly." ”

The girl smiled brightly: "That's what I'm here for." Master asked me to bring this bottle of medicine, just add water and grind it and give it to the patient to drink, and it will be cured. As she spoke, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to the iron lock pillar's hand, "There are ten pills in here, enough to save the lives of the people in your village." Farewell. With that, the girl took out the fairy sword on her back and flew into the air towards the northern foot of Feitan Mountain.

"Ah, I can't see that at such a young age, he is actually a profound immortal cultivator, he is really unseemly. Li Lianshan, who had just walked out of the house, was surprised.

"What nonsense, hurry up and save people!" Iron Lock Pillar rushed back to the house to find water.

The elixir in the porcelain bottle was really effective, and the daughter-in-law of the iron lock pillar had just drunk the water for less than a few breaths, and the waxy yellow on her face had quickly faded, although the body was still very weak, but the iron lock pillar knew that the plague had been solved, and the weakness was the result of a long illness and little food, and it could be cured by just taking care of it.

A bottle of elixir saved the people of the village, not only that, but all the villages in the neighboring villages, nearby villages, and far villages, and the entire Feitan Mountain Pass received the elixir given by the girl's master, and the terrible plague was eliminated. Iron Lock Pillar was overjoyed and immediately asked Li Lianshan to set off for Miaozhou to look for the rest of the hunting team.

The villagers were saved, but they did not know who the benefactor was. Iron Lock Pillar has always wondered, when the girl left, it was Edgeworth who flew to the northern foot of Feitan Mountain, as far as he knew, there was no Immortal Cultivation Sect in that direction, who was the master of that mysterious girl?" Iron Lock Pillar thought to himself.

Li Lianshan only walked for ten days and came back with the thirty people who had left, it turned out that after the group crossed the mountains and mountains and arrived outside the city of Miaozhou with great difficulty, the guards guarding the city refused to open the city gate when they heard that they were coming to escape the plague. After boiling outside the city gate for several days, after running out of water and food, everyone decided to go back to Yanxun Village together, and it was better to die at home than outside. As a result, he met Li Lianshan halfway, and when he heard that the plague had been eliminated, he quickened his pace and rushed back.

Because of this plague, twenty-two people died in Yanxun Village, and the villagers collectively cried and sacrificed, and then everyone's life gradually returned to normal, and the hunting team still went to the mountains once every half a month, but the iron lock pillar has always had a wish in his heart to go to the northern foot of Feitan Mountain to find a life-saving benefactor. The longer the matter was left in my heart, the more worried I became, and in the warm spring of the second year, after returning from hunting one day, Tie Suozhu handed over the hunting team to Li Lianshan, and he went to the north of Feitan Mountain alone.

There are many cliffs at the northern foot of Feitan Mountain, the road is very difficult to walk, the iron lock pillar simply walks along the river in the mountain stream, hungry to nibble on a mouthful of dry food and wild fruits, thirsty to drink a sip of river water, just like this, walked for about 20 days, he came to a big waterfall.

This waterfall flows straight down from the top of the cliff, the water flows like a flying dragon into the sea, like a thousand horses galloping, the stirring water mist fills the entire mountain stream, the rainbow hangs in the air, it is very spectacular. The Iron Lock Pillar looked at the magnificent waterfall and suddenly caught a glimpse of a small hut on the other side of the waterhole under the waterfall.

"There is a hut in the middle of the mountain stream? Who lives here? Isn't it a benefactor?" Iron Lock Post was puzzled and excited, and he hurriedly ran towards the hut.

Before he could get closer, the door of the hut suddenly opened, and two figures stepped out of it. The person in front is the girl who brought the pill that day, and the person in the back also knows the iron lock pillar, and it is the immortal woman who saved Da Dun'er and killed the hyena-mane crazy pig!

Iron Lock Pillar understood that the "Master" that the girl called her was her! To the great benefactor who had saved the villagers twice, Iron Lock Pillar bowed respectfully to the ground: "It turns out that the benefactor I have been looking for is the girl!

The immortal cultivator remembered that the Iron Lock Pillar was the captain of the hunting party, and she said, "You can even find such a hidden place. But this is not the place for you, so go back. ”

Tie Suozhu hurriedly said: "Thanks to the girl's rescue twice, the people of my Yanxun Village are unforgettable." Sorry to disturb the girl's Qingxiu, I'll leave immediately. ”

At this time, there was a sound of a baby crying from the grass hut, and the immortal cultivator said, "Don't tell others when you go back, and don't come back in the future." With that, she turned and walked into the hut.

"Do you hear that, don't come again!" the girl admonished, and returned to the house.

Iron Lock Pillar took a deep breath of the fresh air of the mountain stream, and his wish was fulfilled, and he set out on the return journey with satisfaction. After returning to Yanxun Village, he didn't say a word about it, continued to lead the hunting team, and lived a simple and happy life with the villagers.

Unfortunately, the peace of life is always broken again and again. Half a year later, another big event happened in Yanxun Village: the baby son of the Damao family just three months ago was killed!

Early in the morning, the whole Yanxun Village could clearly hear the miserable howl of Da Mao's daughter-in-law, and the iron lock pillar thought that the two of them had an awkward quarrel at first, and planned to persuade them, but when they walked to the door, they heard Da Mao's cry. He felt that something was not right, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Da Mao's daughter-in-law crying bitterly: "Which one who killed a thousand knives will kill my son!" and then fell straight on the bed, holding a swaddling cloth stained with a lot of blood in her arms.

"Xiao Cui!" Da Mao hurriedly helped up his unconscious daughter-in-law. In her husband's arms, she opened her eyes slightly, two cloudy tears flowed down, and she exhaled softly: "Da Mao......" and then turned her head sideways and did not move.

Iron Lock Pillar hurriedly stepped forward to sniff, and after a long time, he sighed deeply and gently patted Da Mao, who was glazed over. Due to excessive sadness, Xiao Cui actually went like this. Da Mao slowly lowered his head, gently stroked Xiao Cui's face, and stared blankly at her closed eyes. Suddenly, Da Mao put down Xiao Cui and slammed into the wall, and the iron lock pillar hurriedly shouted, "Da Mao!" Unfortunately, it was too late, and Da Mao fell softly.

With tears in his eyes, the scene in front of him made him startled: the baby was pale, his face was sunken, and there were two bloody holes in his neck! Damao's son was actually sucked alive! It was so tragic that someone had so cruelly done such a cruel treatment to the lovely baby, and the iron lock pillar suddenly felt terrified. There has never been such a murder in Yanxun Village since ancient times, and there seems to be no stranger who has come to the village recently.

There are three lives in a family, and the iron lock pillar has no time to think about it anymore, so he must quickly inform the people in the village. He was just about to go out and collided with Li Lianshan, who was about to come in. Li Lianshan asked: "Lao Tie, what's wrong with the Da Mao family?"

The iron lock pillar pushed Li Lianshan out of the door and closed the door, and there were already many uneasy villagers standing outside.

"Brother Tie, the son of Da Mao...... Dead?" Fuchang asked.

"Don't ask anything, go to the entrance of the village to ring the bell, and let the villagers gather on the bonfire!"

"Bell bell", the eager bell rang through the village, and after a while, more than 40 families in Yanxun Village gathered on the bonfire.

Iron Lock Pillar strode into the middle of the field and said loudly: "There has been a major event in our Yanxun Village that has never happened before, Da Mao's son was killed last night!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd, and the small village, which had always been peaceful, was killed.

"And the method is extremely cruel, it is to bite the neck and suck the blood dry! Now Xiaocui is depressed and dies, Da Mao commits suicide in grief, and the lives of a family of three are gone! Fellow villagers, have you ever seen a stranger come to our village recently?"

Everyone's response disappointed him, everyone look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads.

"Lao Tie, can such a thing as sucking blood be done by a human? What kind of animal is it?" Li Lianshan was puzzled, and many people also echoed it, so unconscionable, not like a human act.

The iron lock pillar was very sure: "It was definitely done by people! Last night the Da Mao family was fine, what animal could sneak into Da Mao's house and bite the baby to death at night without making the slightest noise? Don't forget, there is a dog in the yard of Da Mao's house!"

"Brother Tie, could it be a demon beast?" Haijing suddenly asked, he was frightened by the hyena mad pig at the beginning, and now he still has palpitations when he mentions the word "demon beast".

"Impossible, how can a demon beast be so easy to encounter? If it is really a demon beast, Da Mao and Xiao Cui will not survive this morning, not to mention their family, it is estimated that the villagers will die. Iron Lock Pillar analyzed.

Li Lianshan took a puff of dry tobacco: "Lao Tie, according to what you say, if it is a person, then it will make some movement, right? Besides, when he touched Damao's house at night, the dog didn't bark and turned the sky upside down?"

"So, isn't that a ghost?" Haijing said timidly, and he was terrified.

The iron lock pillar glared: "How can there be a terrible ghost? Don't scare yourself! It must have been done by a person! Since you didn't see a stranger, it was a person from the village......

Before Tie Suozhu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Lianshan, who frowned and said, "Old Tie, you can't say this casually. It's been decades since the villagers and the villagers, and I don't believe it for the first time!"

The Iron Lock Pillar was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I don't want to believe it either, but I can't help it. In this way, there are forty-four households in the village, and each of the four households is divided into a group, and one person from each household keeps vigil, and one shift is held every four days. Eleven people who keep vigil every day supervise each other, and be vigilant for strangers or wild beasts sneaking into our village at night. Lao Li, what do you think?"

Li Lianshan knocked the ash in his pipe: "This is a good idea, just do it!"
