Chapter 7 The future can be expected
In the hazy mist, a group of four people was walking briskly towards the cave, and when they passed by the corpse of the wolf demon, Cao Dong stopped, pointed at it and said, "Childe, look, this is a beast that has become a spirit, and it is a wolf demon." ”
Li Muzhi also stopped and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any clues, so he asked: "Martial Master, this wolf demon seems to be only slightly larger than ordinary wolves, and I don't see anything special." ”
Cao Dong explained with a smile: "Childe doesn't know, this wolf demon should have eaten the herbs in the cave, so he was able to embark on the path of cultivation. Its cultivation is roughly equivalent to the peak of the three realms in the martial arts realm, and it is only one step away from the four realms. You can't see anything just by looking at the surface, but in fact, its physical fitness has far surpassed that of ordinary wild wolves, and it has also opened its mind and knows how to think. ”
After Cao Dong finished speaking, even Mo Shiping on the side couldn't help but look at the motionless wolf demon corpse twice.
Mo Shiping sighed slightly, thinking to himself, this world is really not a few books, a few heart-wrenching travels can be summed up, when he grows up and saves enough money, he must go out for a trip, and it is best to find the real monkey brew and bring it back for grandpa to taste.
Just when Mo Shiping was in his mind, a vision suddenly appeared!
I saw that the wolf demon, who seemed to have lost his breath, suddenly opened his eyes, rolled over, and rushed straight to Li Muzhi.
"Childe be careful!" Cao Dong shouted, and immediately stepped forward with an arrow, hurriedly grabbed Li Tombzhi with his left hand, and took him behind him, then clenched his fist with his right hand and swung towards the wolf demon.
Cao Dong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, judging from this situation, the wolf demon's carefully prepared raid this time would definitely end in failure, and at most he would exchange injuries with him Cao Dong.
Seeing this, the wolf demon who was keeping his forward rush suddenly kicked the tree in the air, and forcibly changed the attack route, and pounced on the swarthy young man Mo Shiping on Li Muzhi's left side instead.
Cao Dong sighed in his heart, good guy, this wolf demon had already planned it! But he couldn't rush to save the boy at this time, so he could only shout loudly: "Young man, retreat!"
Mo Shiping stared at the wolf demon who suddenly burst out and suddenly turned towards him, he wanted to retreat, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead and couldn't move, and he fell to the ground.
In an instant, the wolf demon flew in front of him, stretching out its sharp claws and striking straight at his head.
Mo Shiping closed his eyes in fright, "It's over", this is the only thought in Mo Shiping's mind.
However, after a while, Mo Shiping still didn't feel a trace of pain. He tried to open his eyes, and an old man with gray hair appeared in front of him.
"Grandpa. Mo Shiping muttered, still not relieved.
"Ahem... It doesn't matter, Shihei?" the old man asked softly, but his tone trembled a little.
"Tick tock"...
A stream of blood ran down the old man's sackcloth and dripped to the ground.
Mo Shiping raised his head and found that a sharp wolf claw pierced out of the old man's chest, and the old man's claws pierced through his chest from behind!
"Big... Grandpa..."Mo Shiping almost lost his usual judgment ability, and at this time, he couldn't accept what was happening in front of him.
"Evil beast!" At this time, Cao Dong, who was belated, kicked the wolf demon that was already at the end of the crossbow several meters away.
The grandfather supported the ground with one hand, and his body was a little unstable.
Mo Shiping grabbed the grandfather and pressed his right hand on the wound on the grandfather's chest, but the blood still couldn't stop pouring out, staining the old man's chest red.
"No, it won't be like this..."Mo Shiping cried, repeating this sentence as if he was crazy.
"Stop the bleeding, yes, stop the bleeding. Mo Shiping kept telling himself to be calm. At the same time, he tore open his coarse linen clothes, trying to stop the blood flowing from the old man's chest.
However, after a while, the coarse linen clothes in Mo Shiping's hand were also dyed blood red, and the blood still gushed out uncontrollably.
"Grandpa, it's okay, you'll definitely be fine..."Mo Shiping held tears in his eyes and held down the wound tightly. Mo Shiping was desperate in his heart, much more desperate than when he went up the mountain to make a living alone.
The eldest grandfather slowly stretched out his right hand, gently rubbed the young man's head, and said with some difficulty: "Shiping, there are many things in this world that cannot be stopped by manpower. Grandpa has lived long enough, there is nothing to be sad about. ”
"No, no, no..."Mo Shiping shook his head vigorously, tears flowed uncontrollably.
At this moment, Wei Li, a national teacher in a black robe, suddenly appeared beside everyone.
Seeing this, Mo Shiping was like a drowning man grasping the last life-saving straw in a madness, knelt down towards Wei Li, and kowtowed desperately.
Mo Shiping begged while kowtowing: "I know, you are a fairy master, please, please, save grandpa, you must have a way, please, please." ”
National Teacher Wei Li shook his head and said: "He is the third realm of the martial arts realm, and he has not yet escaped the identity of ordinary people, I can't save this fatal injury." ”
As if he hadn't heard, Mo Shiping only kowtowed, and only opened his mouth and said, "Please, fairy master, please..."
At this time, the eldest grandfather stretched out his right hand with difficulty, grabbed Mo Shiping's arm, shook his head at him, and said softly: "Stand up, the man has gold under his knees, don't kneel!"
The grandfather looked at the desperate crying boy in front of him, stretched out his hand and gently wiped away some tears for him, smiled with all his strength, his tone was full of exhaustion, and said: "Crying like this, how can you still be the unruly ranger in the novel?"
Mo Shiping hugged his grandfather, tears had blurred his eyes, and he choked up: "Grandpa, I haven't brought you back the real monkey brew yet, don't go, don't leave me alone..."
The old man's vision was a little blurred, and he finally stretched out his hand tremblingly and rubbed the young man's head: "Monkey brewing, just bring a pot when you come to see grandpa in the future, if you can't find it, it's okay, just come and talk to grandpa... Grandpa is a little sleepy and wants to sleep for a while..."
The old man pursed his lips slightly, as if he had really tasted the aroma of monkey brew. He knew the boy wouldn't let him down, so he smiled contentedly and closed his eyes.
Cao Dong on the side bowed slightly, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Seniors go well." ”
Li Muzhi also clenched his fists lightly, this person in the rivers and lakes is worthy of his respect.
"Rustle...", there was a sudden sound.
Cao Dong turned his head to take a look, and found that the wolf demon who had been kicked away before was dragging his injured body and crawling towards the cave with difficulty, and immediately said angrily: "What a wicked animal who deliberately cheated to death, his life is really hard, see me slap you to the end." ”
At this time, the national teacher Wei Li stretched out his hand to stop Wei Li and asked, "Martial Master, wait a minute." Do you know why this elven wolf demon cheated to death, and why he is climbing back to the cave now?"
Cao Dong replied without hesitation: "This wolf demon is cunning by nature, and deliberately cheated death in order to take revenge on us, and now that he is seriously injured, he is naturally afraid of death and wants to escape back to the cave." ”
Wei Li shook his head and said, "If it's for survival, why don't you just run away after cheating, knowing that you are invincible and still ambushing you here, is revenge really more important than life? And if you are afraid of death, you will not flee back to the cave that you know is a dead end." ”
"This..."Cao Dong was a little speechless, he glanced at the wolf demon struggling and crawling, and still said with a murderous face: "Old man, Lao Cao doesn't care what idea it has, he has to slap it to death today." ”
Wei Li, who was dressed in a black robe, shook his head and said, "Wait." There is a natural reason why this wolf demon's behavior is quite abnormal, and I can detect that there are two newly born wolf cubs in this cave, probably born to this wolf demon. It probably still has a glimmer of hope that it will die and trade for its life here. And now that the tide is gone, I think it finally wants to go back to the cave to see the wolf cubs. ”
After hearing this, Cao Dong clenched his fists, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Old man, this is the best, the demon is the demon, just give them a nest, so as not to cause trouble again." ”
Wei Li didn't answer, but glanced at the unadult-looking young man who was crying, and said, "All these things are because of him." Therefore, the decision to kill or not to kill is in his hands. ”
Li Muzhi nodded, agreeing with the statement of the national teacher Wei Li. He suddenly had a premonition in his heart that things were not as simple as they seemed.
And Cao Dong on the side said impatiently: "Old man, what is there to consider here, it is naturally best to kill them all with one punch." ”
Wei Li glanced at Cao Dong coldly, his eyes were calm, and he didn't speak. In an instant, this strong man Cao Dong subconsciously took a step back, a chill ran down his spine, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
National teacher Wei Li snorted coldly in his heart, it's usually just enough, but now it's the most critical end of the whole layout plan, if this Cao Dong doesn't know how to say more, he doesn't mind slapping him to death.
To put it bluntly, this Cao Dong is the same as the four hunters who have just died, in Wei Li's eyes, they are just flies who don't know how many they can slap to death. The only difference is that if Cao Dong is killed, Wei Li may still need to explain: I'm sorry, my hand slipped.
Mo Shiping, who was squatting on the ground, still hugged his grandfather and wiped his tears, but the tears still flowed out uncontrollably. He shook his head, unwilling to answer the question.
Seeing this, the national teacher Wei Li did not urge, but said softly: "It's okay, think about it carefully, we will wait for you here, but we still can't delay it for too long, otherwise this wolf demon may slip away with its wolf cubs, or die of serious injuries." ”
Mo Shiping suppressed his tears, he raised his head and looked at the expressionless national teacher Wei Li, his eyes struggling.
After a long time, the young man said with difficulty: "I don't know, can you save its life?"
Wei Li, who was dressed in a black robe, raised his eyebrows for the first time, and then replied, "Yes." ”
Mo Shiping nodded, he stood up, carefully picked up his grandfather, and prepared to leave.
At this time, the national teacher Wei Li spoke again and asked one more question: "Young man, can you tell me the reason?"
The young man didn't look back, he carried his grandfather on his back, and walked on the mountain road he left step by step. He replied word by word: "It was we who broke into its home, and we did not take advantage of it." Its instinct is to protect its children, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Mo Shiping paused, biting his lip tightly, and a trace of blood was left along the corner of his mouth.
"I would love to kill it with my own hands, but what a beast. Grandpa will be disappointed when he sees me do that. ”
Wei Li stared at the young man's departing figure for a long time, and his heart fluctuated a little: Do you have to be reasonable in everything, I am afraid that I will be very tired in that way.
In front of the cave, Wei Li, the national teacher who was alone, glanced at the wolf demon lying on the ground and was dying, took out a pill from his sleeve, threw it at the wolf demon, and said: "This pill is much more valuable than the empty valley orchid in the cave, you are lucky, this is your reward." ”
The wolf demon glanced up at Wei Li with considerable effort, and immediately lowered its head and did not dare to look directly, its intuition told it that the person in front of it was extremely terrifying, and it seemed that if he made any small moves, he would be wiped out in the next moment.
The wolf demon actually learned the movements of a human being, with its two front paws on the ground, and its forehead was deeply attached to the ground, which was regarded as a thanksgiving. Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the pill and slipped into the cave.
Wei Li turned to leave and returned to his original mountain path.
When Li Muzhi saw Wei Li coming back, he originally wanted to ask some speculation, but Wei Li shook his head and said first: "Childe, let's go back early." ”
Li Muzhi had no choice but to swallow the words back into his stomach, and changed his words and said, "Naturally, I listen to the old gentleman." ”
As for Cao Dong on the side, after being glanced at by the national teacher, it seemed that something was wrong with the whole person, and he didn't dare to speak, so he could only nod his head and second.
So, the three of them embarked on the return journey with different thoughts. The national teacher Wei Li was in a rare and happy mood, he was still quite satisfied with the test questions he came out, and he thought that he could also make a difference on Mr. side. But among them, he also played a careful trick, that is, the four hunters who followed all the way to the mountainside. Wei Li found an appropriate time to shoot them to death, firstly, to give the wolf demon enough time to attack. Second, he was not present, and he was not afraid that the young man would hate himself afterwards.
Thinking of this, Wei Li, who was dressed in black, couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was also a peak monk of the Nine Realms who was only one step away from asking the Immortal Realm, but he was already worried that a young man who had not even set foot in the Martial Human Realm would retaliate against him.
Wei Li sighed with emotion in a voice that only he could hear: "Sir, your provocative eyes are really vicious, and the future of this son is promising." ”
Walking on the way down the mountain, Mo Shiping's tears poured out unconsciously, he didn't wipe them, he wanted to let the tears flow enough. But when he thought of the old man's previous sentence, "Crying like this, how can you still do the unruly ranger in the novel?" he still raised his hand to wipe away some tears.
Suddenly, the young man turned his head and said, "Grandpa, we're almost home." The young man spoke in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing the rest of the grandfather.
The old man behind him did not respond, and looked peaceful as if he was asleep.
At this point, even if the young man stood on the top of a very high mountain in the future and had great magical powers, he didn't seem to remember that he had a birthday.
Today is the thirteenth birthday of the teenager, and it is also his last birthday.
