Chapter 56: The Black Fog at the Source
A few miles away from Yunshui Village, two figures, an old man and a young man, appeared on a little-traveled path, and today the two of them had to fight hard, move forward, march forward, and stand up.
[Where did these idioms come from! Isn't it just a shameless old man, can you do it in front of the old man, and you also put me on board!]
The old man looked behind him and said, "Xiao Fan'er, let's go to kill demons and eliminate demons, why did you have a look on your face." ”
"Hmph, if I had a beep in my hand right now, I'd be going to make you look good. Ming Fan replied angrily.
"Didn't you listen to what your grandmother Rong said? Some villagers have entered the strange black fog at the source of the river before, but they have not heard from them since, such a dangerous place, you can rest assured that the second grandfather and I will go alone?"
Looking at the second elder who was deliberately very scared, Ming Fan sneered, "That's really a celebration of the whole world, if you are going missing, the women of the Lingzhou Continent will be safe." ”
The second elder who was walking in front turned around and said angrily, "Hey, you kid is so looking forward to my accident, do you want to wait for me to have an accident so that I can take the opportunity to inherit my title of Friend of Women!"
"You might as well keep that messy title!"
"Hmph, naïve, naïve, how do you think the title of my Friend of Women came about?"
"Hey, no one wants to know about the Second Elder, what kind of explanation are you talking to yourself?"
The second elder slowly raised his head, recalling the past events in his mind, and said with vicissitudes of life, "That's when I was five years old, and I still remember the young lady from the orphan village who stripped me naked and threw me into the river to bathe. ”
[Have you entered the rhythm of memories by yourself......]
"The ravine-covered face is full of traces of time, and the hands that are withered like branches slowly cut across my delicate skin at that time. ”
【Vertical and horizontal ravines?withered branches?】
"Later, when I inquired, I learned that the young lady was seventy-six. ”
I said, Second Elder, why are you so interested in an elderly woman, it turns out to be a shadow in your childhood! Sure enough, aesthetics must be cultivated correctly from an early age!]
"So, I spent my childhood in the company of countless young ladies, and then I met ........ after leaving the orphan village."
Without waiting for the second elder to finish speaking, Ming Fan fled forward in a puff of smoke.
"Hey, Xiao Fan'er, I haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?"
I heard that there was a sound of Ming Fan collapsing in front of me,
"I'm going to die!"
At the same time that Ming Fan and the second elder went to the source of the river, Yun Ling held on to the door and looked out stupidly, as if waiting for something.
"Ling'er, what are you looking at?"
Yun Rong walked out of the house, looked at Yun Ling's appearance and asked.
"Ahh
Yun Rong didn't know what Yun Ling was thinking, and said with a doting smile: "How long has this person been gone?
"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about..... Who misses him......" Although Yun Ling said so, her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Haha, grandma is more than 110 years old, is there anything else you can't understand, do you like that child named Mingfan. ”
Yun Ling lowered her head with a red face, rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands and did not speak.
Looking at Yun Ling's shy appearance, Yun Rong said happily, "How about it, let grandma say it right." ”
"Grandma, ignore you, I'll cook!" After speaking, Yun Ling hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Looking at Yun Ling's back, a touch of sadness and worry appeared in Yun Rong's loving eyes at this moment, and then she looked in the direction of the source of the river, and prayed in her heart, "I hope that incident has nothing to do with Ling'er's life experience, second brother, little sister, I can only ask you." ”
Thanks to the "spiritual pollution" of the second elder, Ming Fan quickened his pace, and after running for nearly an hour, the two came to the source of the river in Yunshui Village.
"Is this the black fog that Grandma Yunrong said?" Looking at the black fog that permeated his eyes, Ming Fan felt that it was more appropriate to call it black smoke.
"Elder Sun~~~ Collect the supernatural powers!" At this time, the second elder behind him walked over and shouted at the black mist.
When he met such a living treasure as the Second Elder, Ming Fan was also out of line, and asked, "Second Elder, do you think we should act together, or go separately?"
The second elder's eyes flashed with a look of understanding, and he replied, "Of course it's separation." ”
"Huh?" Ming Fan originally thought that the second elder would say that the two would act together, but he didn't expect the latter to choose to separate the two.
"Hey, the scope of the black fog is so large, if you don't separate, when will you find the hidden mystery in it. I'll go to the right, and you go to the left. The words fell without waiting for Ming Fan to speak, and went straight to the right.
Ming Fan felt that what was going on in the black fog was unknown, and it was a little unsafe to act separately, but looking at the figure of the second elder who had already walked away, Ming Fan had only one way to the left.
In the black fog, the cold air was pervasive.
Perhaps it was the fog that blocked most of the sunlight, and as soon as Ming Fan entered, he felt that the temperature outside the fog and inside the fog was very different.
"Although I want to investigate the cause of the black fog, I don't have a clue at all, and the fog is so thick that if you are not careful, you will lose your way. "Ming Fan moves the true qi to improve the five senses, and finds the reason for the fog, even if the five senses are raised, the effect is still limited.
Helplessly, Ming Fan had no choice but to give up, and said with a little regret, "If I had learned more Dao techniques from the four elders, I wouldn't have been so overwhelmed now, it seems that I have to use that method." ”
I saw Ming Fan take out an earthen round object, then squatted on the ground and threw a soil pit, buried the earth round object in his hand, and then clapped his hands vigorously, then put it on his nose and sniffed it, and said, "It's done." ”
"Now that the coordinates have been set, the next step is the direction of exploration. Ming Fan pondered in his heart, "Since the problem is at the source, let's go up over there." ”
The direction was set, and Ming Fan went uphill, and then each line was about five miles away, and then he took out an earth-shaped object and stepped under the soil.
Take advantage of Ming Fan's time to investigate to explain why this black fog that has dried up the river in Yunshui Village has not been cared for.
To put it simply, those who want to manage are incapable, and those who have the ability are too lazy to manage.
Let's talk about what I want to take care of, the villagers of Yunshui Village, and they did come to the black fog to investigate.
But the result, everyone also knows.
Then since the villagers later learned that the black mist was strange, why not beg the monks for help?
It's simple, too lazy to care.
Although slaying demons and destroying demons is what cultivators should do, the premise is that they go down the mountain and meet demons, or the demons' strength and evil are so strong that they are not allowed to come forward.
And Yunshui Village, as well as many villages, are very perfect to avoid these two points.
First of all, it's just that the water source of a small river in the village has dried up, and there is no point for the monks to come forward, and secondly, the geographical location of the village is not good, not to mention that there will not be a cultivator passing by here for a few years, or even more than ten years.
Yunshui Village, like Xuanqingmen, is located at the junction of the Central Plains and Xiwulin, and the only one of the Xiuzhen sects, Xuanqingmen, although it is a century-old school, is almost as well-known as those unknown writers who write novels on the website, and almost no one knows about it. (At the beginning, Yun Rong had mentioned to the people in the village that she knew the second elder of Xuanqingmen, but unfortunately everyone didn't know where Xuanqingmen's location was.) )
As for those second- and third-rate sects on the rivers and lakes, if you want them to help you, no matter what their strength is, the remuneration they will give them afterwards is not something that a small village can afford.
What's the horse?
Chivalrous and righteous?
Fighting?
Okay, go find those chivalrous people with a sense of justice, and I wish you early success.
The monk can't find a figure, and the second- and third-rate sects can't count on it, so go to Luohe City to find the Law Enforcement Hall?
I'm sorry, but there is one of the iron laws of the Law Enforcement Hall, that is,
Evil, demon, demon, ghost and the like will not be accepted by the Law Enforcement Hall
In other words, the Law Enforcement Hall only accepts robbers, bandits, ruffians, and even cultivators who kill innocents indiscriminately, and they can go to the Law Enforcement Hall to report information, but they don't care about that kind of non-human thing.
In the end, Yunshui Village, which had nothing to do, could only give up.
Fortunately, there is still a river outside the village, although it is a bit far away, but at least the villagers have no problems living normally, and everyone will let the river in the village dry up after a long time.
Let's talk about the second elder, after he entered the black mist, he was not as cautious as Ming Fan, but whistled and hummed a little tune, so chic.
"The water in this river, although it has the effect of driving away diseases and nourishing the human body, is only for ordinary people, and it does not have much function for cultivators and demons and ghosts, so ...... Why are you here?"
