Chapter 1390: Attachment to the Land
After looking at the room for a while, Ye Tian scratched his head helplessly, he really couldn't see anything, just wait!
Then, he picked up the case file bag on the table and flipped through the documents.
Daoist students are privileged, just like these confidential materials, they won't have much trouble reading them themselves.
Even if there is trouble, "Fan Peng will not mind...... Possibly.
After reading the case, Ye Tian smiled slightly.
This case is really suitable for him, Fan Peng can be regarded as having a heart.
Intelligence, privileges, and the relationship between Ling Yan Pavilion and Ling Yan Pavilion have made meritorious contributions to this preparatory shadow guard.
It's just that the nameless side still needs some preparation.
The next day, Ye Tian rushed to the scene of the crime with two treasures.
Before, because of his strength, he rarely left the city to go to the village.
Is this the Hidden Dragon Village?
Among the tourists, Ye Tian looked up at the village in front of him.
As other tourists poured into the village, he glanced at the old man at the entrance of the village.
The old man standing with his head held high has gray hair, and his body has the simplicity and heaviness characteristic of a laborer
Without rushing into the village, Ye Tian walked up to the old man and greeted politely: "Hello old man, my name is Ye Tian, and I am a traveler." β
In the information, this old man's surname is Lu Mingjia, and he has lived in Yinlong Village all his life, so he should be able to get some useful information.
When you look closely, you can see that the old man has a resolute expression, a clear gaze, a square face and a wide mouth, and a very straight nose.
The facial lines are like an axe and chisel, and the edges and corners are sharp.
The old man nodded indifferently and said, "Do you have something?"
Ye Tian deliberately pretended to be a little restrained and said, "My trip this time is to find an opportunity to practice,. Has anything strange happened in the village lately?"
"The village has been quiet for the past two days, but a tourist accidentally hit his head and was sent away, and the people in the city are noble. The old man shook his head.
Then he sighed: "Back then, when the Demon Domain invaded, it was thunder and snow for several months. In that case, we will all survive, but the village will not be able to do it, so we can only rely on tourism to create evil!"
Ye Tian nodded: "Thank you, uncle, I will continue to visit the village." β
Looking at Ye Tianyuan's back, the old man suddenly muttered to himself, "Xiaoyou is quite polite...... How does he know I'm from this village? and he doesn't ask me what my last name is?"
Ye Tian, who was walking, glanced back consciously.
The old man stood straight there, looking like a stone monument guarding the village from a distance.
After some investigation, Ye Tian figured out the accident a few days ago.
A tourist fainted from an inexplicable injury in the village, and was then taken to a pharmacy for treatment.
It is said that the tourist had a bad temper and hated and disrespected the sacred relics of the village.
Such a person is not at all likable, plus no obvious trauma has been examined.
So that's it.
At this time, Ye Tian thought of the conversation with the old man.
Obviously, no one found the reason why the tourists fainted, and there was nothing suspicious before and after.
However, the old man said that he hit his head, which is interesting.
While thinking, Ye Tian walked into the small grocery store in the village.
After buying a little thing casually, Ye Tian went down to the mountain to practice in the name of the clichΓ©: "By the way, boss, I am a monk who has come to practice." I saw the old man at the entrance of the village. The old man is not ordinary, is there any story?"
"Old way?" the boss paused for a moment before replying:
"What stories can people in small places have, this old man just lives a little longer, and likes to talk about some things in his early years, and nothing else. β
"But he's been a bit of a Shinto lately, and he often comes out of nowhere, like a ghost. β
Speaking of this, the boss seemed to recall some terrible scene, and couldn't help but shiver.
Then, he stopped the conversation and started pitching.
Ye Tian refused and walked out of the grocery store.
He looked thoughtfully at the old house in front of him.
This is the old man's residence, just over twenty meters away from the grocery store and ten minutes away from the place where the tourist had an accident.
It was already dark, but not alone.
If the old man comes out of the house, someone should see it.
Actually, the case is not complicated.
Mr. Lu's information was placed in the first row of the case file, which already explained something.
It's just that the people from the Sun Patrol Division can't pull out their hands, or they don't want to deal with this case because of their feelings.
He was almost certain that the murderer was the old man with a resolute expression.
It's just that according to his own side inquiries, the old man's road armor did not appear from beginning to end at the time of the incident.
If all the previous speculations are true, then a lot of useful information can be analyzed from this point.
As far as the old man's words and deeds are concerned, it doesn't look like he has a strong cultivation.
In the case of qi and blood failure, it is most likely to rely on supernatural powers to do this.
Divine warfare is intelligence warfare, and half of the victory is won if you have insight into the enemy's magical powers.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Tian saw that there was no one around, so he took a magic weapon made of jade and walked around in front of the road armor room.
By the way, he also made some other arrangements.
After doing all this, Ye Tian hid his body in a small alley and waited patiently.
This time, he plans to be careful and catch the thief and take the stolen goods.
When night came in a blink of an eye, Ye Tian took out the snacks he bought from the small grocery store and took a few bites.
After a while, he looked out into the street.
There was a vague figure flashing there, like the old man Lu Jia he had seen at the entrance of the village.
Ye Tian chased after him without hesitation.
The figure ran quickly towards the grove in the southeast corner of the village.
Ye Tian chased after him, and he didn't use lotus steps to make a big difference.
Before coming to the grove, he slowed down a little and chased after him.
After looking around, Ye Tian found that there was no one and he chased after someone.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly heard a scream from front of him.
The terrible cry of the night was heard far away, waking two or three resident birds.
Ye Tian did not hesitate and immediately ran forward.
As soon as he ran out of the grove, he saw a small pavilion and a stone platform made of jade.
The small pavilion and the stone platform are carved with some natural and vivid dragons.
This place, Ye Tian has been here during the day.
The jade platform with a length and width of one meter is the characteristic building of Yinlong Village.
It is said that this is the dining table of the dragon king, which was once highly valued by the villagers, and it is quite a clan ancestral hall.
Walking to the front of the Hidden Dragon Terrace, Ye Tian saw the stone tablet behind the small pavilion.
Dozens of names are engraved on the tall stone tablets.
These people are all heroes, and they are also several immortal guards in Hidden Dragon Village.
In the Demon Domain invasion more than ten years ago, they all sacrificed themselves to protect the village and the Hidden Dragon Terrace.
Many of the villagers' relatives died in that disaster.
It's just that these are in the past tense.
The Demon Invasion did not completely destroy the village, but it broke the spiritual pillar of the villagers.
The current Yinlongtai is deserted and desolate, and there is no longer the sacredness and glory of the past.
The village was forced to open to the outside world, and began to grow a large number of Linggu spirit vegetables.
The villagers became full-time farmers, and there was no way to become stronger.
Without a strong immortal guard, they can only abandon the tradition, and they do not respect the once proud Hidden Dragon Terrace, and even open it as a scenic spot.
In fact, although the people of Xianyuan Great World Star like to travel, they don't like to make their hometown a tourist attraction.
Here, the land is not only the home and spiritual belonging of the monks, but also has tangible energy.
In the age of the Witch, every piece of land was guarded by the Witch, and sacred relics such as the Hidden Dragon Terrace were established.
The reason why Hidden Dragon Village has been able to have a smooth sail is because of the protection of Hidden Dragon Terrace.
However, there is a limit to the power of the relics.
The catastrophe that happened fifty years ago was beyond the limits of what the Hidden Dragon Terrace could bear.
Both the relics and the village have suffered irreparable damage.
Glancing around, Ye Tian saw the man who had fallen to the ground and a shovel that had been thrown on the ground.
He walked over briskly and checked it out.
The man was not dead and had no frightening injuries, he just looked unconscious.
In the dark night, Ye Tian did not rush to wake up the injured, but dealt with it urgently.
Then he took a closer look at the wounded man and recognized it as one of the daytime visitors.
The man was still holding a paintbrush in his hand, apparently intending to scribble something on the table, which was expressly forbidden.
It seems that this "belt artist" wanted to improvise a painting, and then he was "punished by justice".
Ye Tian remembered that before the accident of the previous tourist, he also said: "In what era do you still believe in this kind of thing, it is better to worship this thing than to worship Lao Tzu and me." The time of the spirit witch is dead. "That's the case.
Well, the motive has been found.
The next thing is to see through the old man's supernatural powers, is it really just stealth?
In front of the Hidden Dragon Stage, Ye Tian picked up the shovel and took a closer look.
Then, a commotion was heard, and then a group of people came out of nowhere, looking at him and the fallen visitor with shocked eyes.
Then, the villagers began to shout.
"Dead!"
"I also lay down one the day before yesterday, and it must have been done by this man. β
"This person can't be the Demon Domain, right?"
"Fight with him, copy the guy!"
You count me!
Ye Tian looked annoyed and angry.
"When people are old, they are fine, and when they are old, they are spirits", I really underestimated this old man in Lujia.
Because he cares too much about supernatural powers, he ignores the talents of the monks themselves.
People have never seen any storms, and they are still a little tender when they play tactics.
Of course, this is also Ye Tian investigating the case with experience.
What he said before was all right, and he really regarded this investigation trip as a journey of experience to observe the customs and customs.
In that case, there is no way out.
"I'm sorry, I'm the Shadow Guard!" Facing the villagers who were "sharpening their knives", Ye Tian didn't dare to hesitate, and directly showed his preparatory Shadow Guard order.
After finally gaining the trust of the village chief and the villagers, Ye Tian was too lazy to continue to cover up.
He went directly to the old man's residence and found the owner with a calm face.
"Old man, your old thing has happened, come with me!" Ye Tianzheng squinted his eyes in awe.
Xu was fooled and was "photographed" again, his tone was not good, and he was very bad.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said with some doubts: "Xiaoyou, what do you mean? I didn't do anything, don't talk nonsense." β
Ye Tian spoke sharply, and continued to put pressure on the old man with words:
"Didn't you attack the visitors of the Hidden Dragon Terrace tonight? Do you think you can do whatever you want with a stealth supernatural power?
The facts are all there, do you still have to quibble? You need to know that confession is lenient, and resistance is strict!"
The old man looked indifferent and did not panic at all: "Old man, I have been at home tonight and have never left a step." Little friend, you have to have evidence to speak. β
"Evidence?" Ye Tian sneered, took out the magic weapon that had been placed during the day and said: "It can be seen clearly from this treasure, the evidence is conclusive, it is your old man who continues to die and does not admit guilt." β
"Little friend, don't lie to me. There's no way you're going to see me. β
The old man's eyes instantly became fierce, and his eyes were full of tenacity to see through everything.
"Indeed, there is no you in the treasure. Because this is not a surveillance treasure, but a treasure that can detect a special powder. β
Ye Tian paused, and continued to raise the treasure in his hand: "Today, after you go home, I put that special powder in front of your house. This powder is colorless and odorless, and only the treasure in my hand can be examined, and I can lift my feet. β
"......" pondered for a while, and the old man's figure suddenly disappeared.
Voices came from all directions in the air:
"Everyone's blood can't be shed in vain, I can die, but the Hidden Dragon Terrace can't fall! Anyone who gets in the way of me protecting the village deserves to die! This is for the sake of dignity. β
In case of indecision, the visualization map of the five gods and spirits, Ye Tian directly opened the visualization map of the five gods without saying a word.
Then, in his field of vision, he saw a faint figure walking slowly towards him with a shovel in hand.
One step, two steps, like the steps of the devil.
Then the old man picked up his shovel and slapped it.
Ye Tian took a step back and jumped back.
There was a muffled "bang", and the shovel slapped on the floor.
The force was very light, almost like a shovel hitting the floor, and it didn't even bring up dust.
With a blow in the air, the old man Lu Jia showed his figure.
He was hunched up, breathing rapidly, his hands were shaking, and he looked too tired to do anything.
Ye Tian stepped back.
Then, he didn't rush over and put down the exhausted old man.
With a toe pick, Ye Tian picked a small stool to the floor that was slapped by the old man.
Then, something magical happened.
I only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the small stool seemed to be thrown back by some invisible hand.
Ye Tian nodded:
"Sure enough, your supernatural powers are not simply stealth, but fortunately I dodged and didn't rush over like this.
If I'm not mistaken, your supernatural powers should be closed.
You can be invisible because you block off the light around your body.
Visitors faint because you close off their minds.
The floor is also unusable because of your supernatural powers.
I've seen through your supernatural powers, it's impossible for you to win, surrender!"
If Lu Jia's supernatural power is only stealth, it is impossible for visitors to be unconscious.
During the day, Ye Tian had been thinking about this question.
At that moment, he finally figured it out.
At the critical moment, he figured out the essence of the old man's supernatural powers, and Ye Tian was still very proud.
It's just that if it's possible, I really don't want to be an enemy of people like Lu Jia.
The old man took a deep breath, took a step, and slammed his shovel towards Ye Tian.
"It's useless. You shouldn't be able to use your magic power a few times, I just need to ......" Ye Tian stepped back, and then his body suddenly froze.
The air around him turned into a wall, locking him firmly.
For a while, Ye Tian had difficulty breathing, but his consciousness was very clear.
With his strong physique, even if he couldn't breathe for a long time, he would be fine.
Then he immediately understood.
This is Lu Jia blocking the air with a supernatural power, and this supernatural power can still be used like this, it's too laid.
Isn't it tiring to continue to perform supernatural powers like this in a short period of time?
You have to get out quickly, and it's not fun to get on it.
However, even if he struggled and consumed some aura, Ye Tian could only move his toes and wrists.
Worst!
It's too late!
"Kalakala!" In the quiet room, the old man dragged a shovel upside down, shook his body, and moved step by step towards Ye Tian, whose body was frozen.
His breathing was extremely heavy, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was pale like a dead man.
Only the old man's eyes were like two coals of fire, as if they had turned their souls into fuel, and they were bright and sad.
When he came to Ye Tian, the old man pursed his lips and struggled to raise the shovel to shoot it.
At the critical moment, Ye Tian's face was calm: "I recognize your will and spirit, but this insistence is wrong." Times have changed, and the age of the spirit witch is over. The time of the monks has come. β
The old man firmly slapped the shovel.
At this moment, Ye Tian used his aura, and his toes aimed at the small stool and kicked it.
The silver-white stool was kicked off again, hitting the floor that had just been touched by the old man's magical powers.
"Bang!", the small stool bounced back from the enclosed floor and hit the old man in the back of the head.
Receiving this sudden blow, the old man Lu Jia fell to the ground.
"Not bad!" After regaining his freedom, Ye Tian nodded.
Then, he saw that the old man who had fallen to the ground was still struggling, but he didn't even have the strength to get up.
Ye Tian's expression gradually became heavy.
He bent down to help the old man, who was unable to exert his powers, and put special shackles on the old man.
The old man Lu Jia said with a blank face: "You are not real immortals at all. You are only for profit, you don't care about the village, you don't care about us. Everything has changed. β
He didn't worry about his fate in the slightest, as if the man's heart was dead.
Looking at the old man with a dead face, Ye Tian's expression moved slightly.
There is no doubt that these people who have been quietly sacrificing their lives for the village are heroes.
It's just that the era of spirit witches has passed, and sticking to tradition can't protect anyone.
He sighed and said, "Whether you want to accept it or not, everything, including this village, is under the protection of Guangyuan City. You don't need and can't continue to protect the village in this way. β
Listening to Ye Tian's words, a tear quietly fell from the old man's eyes.
"Why do I have tears in my eyes? Because of my deep love for this land. β
Born in Si, raised in Si, buried in Si!
This is the fate of the monk, and it is also the voice of the old man and the portrayal of his life.
After dealing with Lu Jia, Ye Tian called the people from the village to explain the situation.
The villagers' expressions were mixed.
Young people have not experienced that era when the demon realm was full of flying sky, and they are very satisfied with their current life.
Lujia is his own people, but he wants to destroy their present life;
Ye Tian is an outsider, he protected their lives but hurt Lu Jia, his own person.
