Chapter 57: A Knife in a Smile
After leaving the city, Lonely and Wei Yuzhu flew in the direction they pointed, and along the way, Lonely Li observed their surroundings very carefully, afraid that they had missed something.
"Huh?" Silence stared at the clouds, and saw a wisp of smoke curling up at the foot of the mountain.
"Is this a village?"
Confused, the two landed in a stream not far from the village.
The two of them planned to pretend to be travelers and just walk over, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.
"Wait. Silence stopped Wei Yuzhu.
Wei Yuzhu stopped and saw Lonely Squatting by the stream, looking intent.
"What's wrong?" Wei Yuzhu walked up to him and squatted down in a lonely appearance. Looking at the crystal clear water, no matter how she looked, she didn't find anything wrong.
"It's not the water, it's the fish inside. Silence pointed to a small gray fish in a crack in the stone.
Wei Yuzhu looked in the direction of his finger, and there was indeed a small fish in the middle of the two stones.
"What's so strange about this fish, it's bigger than ordinary fish?" Wei Yuzhu asked with some uncertainty.
"Ahem!" the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while, because he had expected her before.
Wei Yuzhu also knew that she had said something to lower her IQ, and she was also a little embarrassed and speechless.
Silence motioned for her to be watchful, then pointed to the rock. The stones crumbled and scattered in the stream, scattering a little ripple. The fish sandwiched between the stones also revealed his full appearance.
"How is this possible!" Wei Yuzhu also showed a hint of incredulity when he saw it.
Because in the middle of the stone, you can't see the whole picture, but now that the stone is broken, the fish also swims out, this swimming, falling into Wei Yuzhu's eyes, is full of incredulity, she pointed at the fish in disbelief, looking at the loneliness, her throat seems to be stuck by something.
Loneliness also looked at the fish thoughtfully, at first glance there was nothing wrong with the fish, but on the other hand, the fish's body had already been hollowed out, but it could still swim at this time, which was too exaggerated.
Silence stretched out his hands, scooped a sip of water from the stream, and was about to drink, Wei Yuzhu was startled, and hurriedly pulled Silence, and the water in his hand couldn't stand the pull and scattered all over the ground. The water fell on a withered grass on the ground.
A miracle happened, and the withered weeds were revived, green and shining.
The two of them were also stunned by this scene, and they looked at it and found that there was a surge of spiritual energy on this grass, although it was very weak, but there was still it. You know, just now this grass is still withered and wilted.
"This water can't be a treasure, right?" asked Wei Yuzhu tentatively.
Silence shook his head very dryly and said, "It shouldn't be, something should be affecting the river." As for what it was, Silence had already guessed it in his mind.
I was also very happy in my heart, thousands of years ago, the fifth treasure of heaven and earth treasure - Jiuxuan Ice Spirit. In the previous life, this treasure had only appeared once, in the far reaches of the world. There was one person, with only one arm, who singled out dozens of monks of the same rank and took them away. Since then, he has disappeared, and the world calls him a thousand miles of one-sleeved.
Speaking of which, this person has seen it once, at that time, he was on the verge of death, but fortunately, he was found by Lonely and rescued by him. But the first thing the man did when he woke up was not to thank Lonely, but to hack him to death. The reason is that in order to save him, Lonely Li used the Nine Xuan Ice Spirit for him.
When I thought of this, I shuddered, that person was simply a madman, the kind who didn't want to die. chased him for seven days and seven nights without stopping, at that time, the loneliness had not yet reached the Mahayana period, and he was still a Yuan infant cultivator, and he was chased all over the world. It caused a lot of jokes, but after a thousand years, that person should be gone.
I couldn't help but sigh for a while.
At this time, Wei Yuzhu interrupted Loneliness's thoughts, pulled Silence and said, "Someone is coming." ”
When Silence heard this, he also came to his senses, and when those few people stepped forward, they looked at Silence and the two. Silence greeted them with a very kind smile.
"Who are you?" asked one of the young men, with some wariness. This person's name is Liu Mang, and he is a villager of the village. At this time, he took a few companions out to pick some wild fruits and vegetables.
"My name is Silence, this... It's an elder of mine. We are passing travelers who accidentally got lost and got here. Please forgive me for trespassing on the treasure land without permission. Lonely introduced herself, went to Wei Yuzhu, hesitated for a moment, and then ignored her complaining eyes and said casually.
Wei Yuzhu sobbed secretly in her heart, alas, the years are urging people to grow old, thinking that back then, she was the existence of the country and the city, but now she has been reduced to being called an elder, it is really sad.
A few people were villagers after all, very simple, and they didn't doubt what Lonely said. Hearing that the two of them were travelers and were lost, they were also very enthusiastic and said, "Lost, do you want to go to our village to rest?"
Liu Mang's enthusiasm made Lonely Li a little unexpected, he thought that it would be difficult to negotiate, and he might even make a move, he was ready to tie it up, he didn't come first to talk so well, which was a lot more convenient.
Silence pretended to glance at Wei Yuzhu and glanced at him. Wei Yuzhu understood, sighed, and fell to the ground. I can't walk anymore, and I can't stop sighing in my heart, I'm really old.
"Then let's go back, our village is not far away, just ahead, and we will be there soon. Liu Mang didn't care whether he had picked wild fruits and vegetables, and walked to the village with Lonely and the others.
The village is indeed not far away, and it will arrive quickly. When I arrived at the village, I had an intuitive feeling of loneliness. Although it is a village, it is not small, there are no less than dozens of houses, and at a glance, there are men, women and children, all with smiles on their faces.
"The people in this village have a good relationship. Lonely sighed sincerely.
Liu Mang on the side was very proud: "No, the people in our village are very kind and enthusiastic, and the neighbors will help if anyone has anything." ”
After hearing this, he also nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong when he looked at these villagers, but he couldn't say it.
Just when Lonely Li and the others returned to the village, an old man found them early, staggered over with a cane, looked at Lonely and the two, and after a long time, he immediately smiled and said: "Oh, it's a guest, our village hasn't had a guest for a long time." Two, why don't you stay for another night, and I'll ask the villagers to prepare some food and entertain you. ”
The old man's enthusiasm made Lonely Li a little flattered, he nodded, and said gratefully, "Thank you to the old village chief." ”
The old village chief waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's all my own family." Liu Mang, you take the guests to rest first, and the others go to greet them, saying that there are guests in the village, and let them cook some good dishes to entertain the guests. ”
"Yes, village chief. Several people replied, and then left quickly.
Liu Mang also led everyone to the residence, and the passers-by along the way also showed a kind smile to the lonely people, but this smile made the lonely feel a little uncomfortable, and he noticed something unusual.
There is a problem here! The atmosphere in this village is a little too peaceful, it can be said that the peace is terrible, which is a little too unusual. Everyone here is smiling, and when they look at it, they are suspicious in their hearts. But he didn't say, after all, it was just speculation, people might just be really enthusiastic, and if he was wrong to blame other people's kindness, it would be bad.
Liu Mang led the two to a room, opened the door, and let the two go in to rest and wait for dinner.
The two entered the house, Liu Mang went out and then closed the door, in the room, at this time, there were only Wei Yuzhu and the two of them, and they listened for a while, and confirmed that there was no one outside the house, and then they said: "This village is strange. ”
Wei Yuzhu also nodded, she also felt that these villagers were too enthusiastic.
"Then what should we do next? Shall we go directly?" Wei Yuzhu looked out the room through the window and found that there was no one.
Silence shook his head and sat down in his chair, his eyes simmering in the room, and finally his gaze fixed on the beams. Silence jumped and took the things off the beams.
Silence opened his palm, revealing what he was holding. It is a plaque carved from wood with the character Wei engraved on it.
"This is my Wei family's identity card!" Wei Yuzhu couldn't help but say when she saw this card.
"Shhhh Silence made a silent gesture.
"It seems that several elders of the Wei family have indeed come here after leaving the city, as for where they are now, I'm afraid I have to ask the villagers here. Silence glanced out meaningfully.
Wei Yuzhu nodded, not talking. Pranayama cross-legged.
Silence also sat on the bed, his divine sense swept, and he did not find the location of the Wei family elder. Silence was a little puzzled, could the elders not be here? Where would that be?
Then the Silence Consciousness swept to a house and found that there were quite a few people inside.
What are they doing? Although they could see it, they couldn't hear them talking, and they could only see that they put something in a pot and stew it with vegetables.
Silence retracted his senses, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since they want to play, let's play with them.
At noon, someone finally knocked on the door, but it was not Liu Mang, but a different woman. The woman bowed her body and smiled as usual, "Two guests, the food is ready, come with me." After saying that, he was the first to leave.
The two of them followed. Come to the center of the village. This place has long been filled with delicious food, and everyone is smiling at the lonely two.
The village chief stood up and said, "Two of you, sit down." Don't be inhibited, just like your own home. ”
