2. Panacea
"Xiao Guo'er, where did this elixir come from?!!," the old man got up and asked in disbelief. Picked up the test tube and sniffed it, and even licked it secretly.
Seeing that the master was getting better, Guo'er was very happy, and pointed to Li Miao at the door and said, "Back to Master, this uncle gave it to me!"
The old man blinked his eyes, "Oh, it turned out to be a gift from this black-faced Taoist friend!
Black...... Black?
Li Miao was stunned, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, wiping off a smoky color.
The old face suddenly darkened a little, and coughed dryly: "That...... Old man, my name is Li Miao, I am an extraordinary soldier of the Seventh Guard of the Ninth Fleet of the Silver Alliance Expeditionary Force, and I am really sorry to have accidentally landed on this planet and destroyed your house. You see, if you don't do this, you make a list, and I will compensate you twice according to the price of the alliance. ”
Originally, it would have been enough to compensate according to the price, but this old and young man was too bitter, and he was moved by compassion and wanted to give more.
After all, the alliance has money, not to mention losing a house, even losing an asteroid, it's just a drizzle.
An old man and a young man listened to his words, and they didn't understand what they meant for a long time, and only after a long time did they say, "Black ...... Ah no, Li Miao Daoyou, this Yinmeng you are talking about...... What kind of sword team is this, is it the meaning of the sect?"
"Uh......" Li Miao's expression froze.
Dare to love that this world is so backward that even the Galactic Transcendent Alliance and the Expeditionary Fleet don't know it?
He couldn't help but feel a little distressed. It's a bit difficult to encounter such a primitive planet. Not only is communication difficult, but even the currency used by the Bangram cannot be used here. And for the glory of the alliance, he can't turn around and run away without losing something, which is against the code of honor of the transcendent warrior!
What to do?
The three of them stared.
Or...... Help them rebuild their houses and get some food to compensate them?
It looks like it works!
Li Miao nodded secretly, and said with a laugh: "Yes, yes, you are right, it is the meaning of the sect." We as a sect have never liked to take advantage of others, and I will help you repair your house if I damage it, and I will pay you an extra ten bags of rice as a token of apology. ”
"What? Ten bags of rice! Ten bags of !!" The old man Xuan Zhenzi jumped up when he heard this, and almost broke the worn-out bed board.
He had never seen so much rice in his life, and subconsciously thought that Li Miao was talking big, so he asked confirmatively: "You, you mean...... How big is a bag?"
"Well, it's about that big. Li Miao opened his arms slightly and gestured.
Xuan Zhenzi looked at it, rolled his eyes, and fainted directly.
"Master, Master!Woo woo~"
When Xiao Guo'er saw that the master suddenly fell, she thought that the master was dead again, so she cried.
Li Miao stepped forward to sniff, his breath was still there, and he knew that Xuan Zhenzi was overwhelmed by the joy of ten bags of rice, and there was no big problem.
He rubbed Xiao Guo'er's head and explained, "Don't cry, your master is fine." What's your name, do you know where there are shops nearby?"
"Master is okay?" Guo'er saw that Master's chest was still rising and falling, and he breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and said while wiping his tears: "I, my name is Guo'er, the store you said...... What is it?"
"Shops...... It means a market, a market, a supermarket, a shop. ”
Guo'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "Master said before that there is a small market in Nanshan Village at the foot of the mountain, and the fifteenth day of the first month of every month is the day to catch the market, and there will be people buying and selling rice. ”
At the foot of the mountain?
Li Miao nodded and walked out of the house.
This dilapidated hut was built on the side of a large mountain, surrounded by lush vegetation and so primitive that there was hardly a way down the mountain.
He looked down the hill and saw that there was indeed a small village, but it was a little far away. It is estimated that if you follow the foot strength of ordinary people, it will take at least three or four hours to go up and down the mountain, and I am afraid that the old and the young will not know how many years they have not gone down the mountain.
"Would you like to go down the mountain and have a look?" he asked.
Guo'er replied without thinking: "I don't want to! Master said that there are man-eating monsters everywhere under the mountain, and Guo'er doesn't want to be eaten!"
Li Miao smiled, "Don't be afraid, with your uncle here, no matter how fierce the monster is, it is also a paper tiger." There's a lot of delicious food down there, you really don't want to check it out?"
"Delicious ......"
As soon as he heard this, Guo'er's bright eyes immediately welled up with the color of expectation.
Li Miao secretly said that this little girl was really easy to deceive, first asked her to find the spring water on the mountain, washed her body, changed into brand new clothes, and then picked up the little girl by the waist and rushed down the mountain.
He is an elite soldier of the expeditionary force, the level of genetic origin has reached level 3, with 40 times the strength of ordinary people, although he can't fly off the ground through gravity through instinct, but the speed of running and jumping has exceeded that of a cheetah.
In order not to let the strong wind hurt the fruit, he deliberately limited part of his strength, did not sprint with all his strength, but just jumped lightly between the branches of the trees, moving at a relatively normal speed.
Guo'er, who had never climbed to the top of a tree, was frightened by his exaggerated skills and screamed in horror.
But after the fright, it quickly turned into excitement, giggling, and happily: "Oh ~ I flew up, the fruit flew ~ "
The little girl's silver bell-like laughter infected Li Miao, and he also laughed loudly, with a rare sense of pleasure.
Since joining the expeditionary force, he has not been so relaxed for a long time, the training within the army is very strict, and he often has to face life and death crises when performing tasks, and there is no chance to relax.
It is rare to encounter a primordial planet, and the communicator cannot contact the expeditionary force for the time being, so he can just take the opportunity to rest for a few days.
While leaping like an ape among the trees in the mountains and forests, he talked to the little girl.
"Guo'er, why do you live on such a high mountain?"
"Because there are youkai at the bottom of the mountain, the mountain is safe. Guo'er replied.
"But there is no food on the mountain, what are you going to do?"
"Not before...... In the past, Master and I planted a lot of rice, and we could eat thick white rice porridge every day. But then the rice was eaten up by a big mouse, and there were no seeds left, so we had to eat wild fruits, wild vegetables, and plantain leaves. ”
"Big rats, you mean...... Just one rat ate all your rice?"
"yes! That's the size of a ...... It can bite off the hazelnut tree in one bite, and Master and I are not as tall as it combined, so we can only watch it eat up everything in the field......
Guo'er made an exaggerated gesture, trying to grow her arms to the widest, but she still didn't seem to be as "big" as she wanted to express.
Li Miao was a little unconvinced, thinking that the girl might have been frightened and had a huge nightmare for the rat.
After all, even in the information database of the Galactic Transcendent Alliance, which has conquered the seven major galaxies and controls tens of thousands of life planets, there has never been any mention of rat creatures larger than humans.
"The next time the big mouse comes out, my uncle will catch it and roast it into dried rats and feed it to the cats!" he swore an oath.
Guo'er had an inexplicable sense of trust in this tall and magical alien, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!
As they spoke, a mountain road had already leaped over, and the two came to the foot of the mountain.
Nanshan Village is just in front, and from a distance it looks like a simple and quiet mountain village, with only forty or fifty households.
There is a big dog tied at the entrance of the village, squatting under the old locust tree, with the posture of the guardian saint of the village.
Li Miao put down the fruit and took her little hand and walked towards the village.
After only a few steps, the big dog of the "guardian saint" stood up and barked at the two of them.
Guo'er timidly took two steps back, not daring to step forward.
Li Miao squeezed her little hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the dog that bites doesn't bark, it just looks fierce." ”
The foot kept going on and on.
The more the big dog barked, the more fierce it became, baring its teeth and grinning, with the momentum of wanting to fight.
Guo'er became more and more afraid, Li Miaoyi was bold, but he still didn't take it to heart, and walked straight to the entrance of the village.
At this time, the big dog screamed fiercely, and his body rushed out, and it was a hard bite on Li Miao's thigh!
"Damn, barking and biting, is this dog so unruly!"
Li Miao screamed and hurriedly pulled Guo'er to the side.
The big dog pounced again, but fortunately, the length of the chain was limited, and even if the big dog barked wildly, it would not reach them.
But the screams alarmed the people of the village.
After a while, several sturdy young men rushed out with machetes and iron rods, shouting, "Who is it?
"We are ......"
Li Miao subconsciously replied, but was suddenly stunned again.
"Isn't this Nanshan Village, how did it become a Nanshan faction?" he wondered.
The bearded young man led by the villagers held a machete in his hand, his face was full of conceit, and he snorted coldly: "We have our own cultivation techniques, and there are two strong people in the Qi refining period, of course we can call it a sect!"
Cultivation Exercises?Qi Refining Period?
Li Miao didn't know the power system of this world, so he glanced at a few people suspiciously, and noticed that their physical fitness seemed to be quite good, much stronger than ordinary people, and they could reach the level of a first-level transcendent warrior.
This is not the physique of a group of ordinary villagers!
"Hey, boy, hurry up and report your name, or don't blame us for being rude!" the bearded Wang Wu urged, waving the weapon in his hand as he spoke.
Li Miao just arrived in this world, he didn't know a lot of things, and he didn't want to cause contradictions, so he politely replied: "Under Li Miao, I'm just a passerby, I want to exchange some food with you, I don't know if it's convenient?"
"What do you get in exchange for food?" Wang Wu's face was full of disdain.
Li Miao was wearing the casual lining of the expeditionary force, although the texture was very good, but the appearance was simple, and it was a short shirt, which only the poor would wear in the eyes of the people of this world.
Not to mention Guo'er, the clothes on his body are patches and patches, and he is a little beggar alive.
was looked down upon, Li Miao was not annoyed, took out a gold bar from the "Small Universe Ring", and threw it to Wang Wu.
The latter caught it casually, and felt that the palm of his hand was slightly heavy, and it was actually a one-pound piece of gold, and he was immediately taken aback, and his gaze at Li Miao changed.
The fierce look on his face was immediately replaced by a flattering look, he put away the machete in his hand, hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that it is a distinguished guest, the Nanshan faction is honored, please hurry up!"
In this kind of remote mountain village, many people have never seen gold in their lives, and as soon as they come to make a move, they will be either rich or expensive, and they must not be lazy.
Li Miao followed Wang Wu into the village.
I didn't go far before I saw a group of children gathered together to stand on a pile and box, some men and women, the eldest was in his teens, and the youngest was only six or seven years old.
couldn't help but be interested: "You guys are all martial arts?"
Wang Wu smiled, very proud, patted his chest and said: "The strong in this world are respected, we are fed up with the days of being bullied, so now everyone practices martial arts, everyone practices martial arts, whether it is an unscrupulous official or a man-eating monster, they all have the strength to fight!"
Turning from a farming village to a martial arts sect is not something that can be done.
Li Miao couldn't help but admire a little, "Your leader must be a great person. ”
Wang Wu was even more proud, and laughed: "Of course. Our village chief...... No, it's the head of the family, but he has dealt with immortal cultivators, and all the exercises practiced by the people in the village were all exchanged by his old man from immortal cultivators. He's our great benefactor!"
"Immortal cultivators, what immortal cultivators?"
He wanted to ask when he talked about the cultivation method and the qi refining period just now, but now when it comes to cultivating immortals, he can't hold back the curiosity in his heart.
Wang Wu explained: "Immortal cultivators are the most powerful group of people in heaven and earth. They are immortal, and they have the great power to move stars and rivers. Money, power, and beauty are like dung in their eyes, because what they pursue is the supreme principle of heaven and earth!"
His tone was full of pride, as if he was an immortal cultivator himself.
"I see. ”
Li Miao nodded, thoughtful.
He originally thought that this was a backward world, and the scientific and technological power and biological power were at the level of the primitive feudal era, but now it seems that this is probably not the case.
If Wang Wu's words weren't bragging, if the immortal cultivators in this world were really that powerful, then he would have to face up to this unexpected trip.
According to the rules of the Alliance, when an Extraordinary Warrior discovers an undocumented new world, he or she should report its location to the Alliance as soon as possible. If you can't report it, you need to do your best to gather information about the world, and try to conquer it as much as possible and include it in the territory of the Alliance.
Of course, if the natives of this world have great power, they can also choose to lie dormant for the time being, waiting for the support of the expeditionary force.
Wang Wu's description of immortal cultivators was not much different from the peak transcendent warriors he knew, all of them had immortal bodies and immense strength. In front of such a strong man, he is a small level 3 "mountain and river" transcendent warrior, almost like an ant.
Therefore, before contacting the expeditionary fleet, he must keep a low profile so as not to get into unnecessary trouble.
"It's here. ”
The group came to one of the largest wooden houses in the village.
Wang Wu shouted into the house: "Village chief, I have brought a distinguished guest here, and he wants to buy grain from us. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the wooden house opened on its own.
An old man's voice came from the room, saying, "How many times have you said it, you will call me the head of the house in the future, why don't you always remember for a long time!"
"Uh, yes, yes, yes, it's the head, I'm sorry village chief, I forgot again. Wang Wu scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
An old man in a cloth robe walked out, sixty or seventy years old, his eyes were bright, his steps were vigorous, and he had the posture of a treasure sword.
Li Miao sensed it slightly, and found that the old man's aura was not weak, and he was already close to a level 2 transcendent warrior, but compared to a level 2 transcendent warrior, his physical fitness seemed to be much inferior, just that his internal breath was strong.
The old man Wang Lang came to the door, glanced at Li Miao, and said, "Xiaoyou doesn't look like a local, I don't know where he came from?"
Asking about the origin, it is obvious that you can't tell the truth.
Li Miao replied: "Zhongyun Mountain behind the village can be regarded as local. ”
"Final Cloud Mountain?"
As soon as these words came out, the old village chief Wang Lang suddenly showed a different color, his eyes became vigilant, staring at Li Miao and Guo'er, and said, "Your elders sent you?"
This reflection made Li Miao smell an unusual smell.
Is there a cat?
He muttered, but only replied, "What elder, I'm just here to buy rice......
The old man Wang Lang was suspicious, did not mention the transaction, and asked again: "I haven't been up the mountain for more than ten years, what is the current situation on Zhongyun Mountain?"
"Very good! Master said, we are fine!"
Li Miao was about to reply, but Guo'er, who had been silent, suddenly opened her mouth.
"Guo'er?" Li Miao was confused.
So poor that she can't even afford a bowl of porridge, and she still says it's good?
Under his puzzled gaze, Guo'er leaned into his ear and said to him: "Master said, don't let the people under the mountain know that we are not doing well, even if we starve to death, we will die with backbone." ”
Li Miao suddenly realized.
Guo'er's words sound a little illogical, but judging from Wang Lang's reaction, some clues can be seen.
Between Zhongyun Mountain and Nanshan Village, I'm afraid there is a big gap!
However, the surrounding Wang Wu and the others looked as usual, and there was no abnormal reaction, which shows that there are not many people who know about this "gap", only a few people such as village chief Wang Lang and Xuan Zhenzi know.
Wang Lang's face was cloudy, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly said, "Arrest them!"
Wang Wuyi was stunned.
"Village...... Boss, aren't they distinguished guests, why ......?"
"Hmph, what kind of distinguished guest, it's clear that he's here to find out the truth and want to take revenge on us! Take it down for me!" Wang Lang waved his hand decisively.
"Yes, sir!" the others trusted, although they didn't know why, to trust the village chief.
Wang Wu and the others, together with a dozen young people who were originally practicing martial arts nearby, surrounded and blocked all the roads.
Two young men stepped forward to arrest Li Miao.
But as soon as they got closer, they were kicked backwards with a huge force, knocking down several of their companions and falling to the ground.
Li Miao's face did not change, as if he had just done a trivial thing. said to Wang Lang: "I can see that you have a ghost in your heart." I'm not here to stir things up, but if you want to fight, I don't mind doing it. ”
Fighting is the job of a transcendent warrior, and when it comes to fighting, he has never been afraid of anyone!
The people in Nanshan Village didn't see clearly how he knocked down the two young men at all, and they were a little frightened in their hearts, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
At this time, Wang Lang said coldly: "Sure enough, I have some ability, it seems that Xuan Zhenzi's technique of pressing the bottom of the box should be passed on to you." Anyway, since you sent it yourself, we will be disrespectful to this gift. ”
As he spoke, he made a move with one hand, ingested a sword in the air, and took the lead in killing Li Miao!
This means of taking things from the air, Li Miao's pupils shrank.
Before he could think, the sword had already stabbed in front of him.
Li Miao ducked a sword and took a few steps back with Guo'er in his arms.
Wang Wu, who was on the side, saw that the village chief had made a move, so he was naturally embarrassed to be idle, and together with the other villagers, he brandished a single knife and a long stick, and greeted the two of them with a fierce attitude.
In the face of the siege of more than a dozen people, Li Miao was unflustered, dexterously wandering in the crowd, and from time to time sent a punch and kick to knock down a few.
He doesn't care about the opponent at the level of "awakening". If he hadn't worried about Guo'er being injured, he could have resisted a few attacks and eliminated everyone in a few seconds.
But even if it was holding someone, it only took half a minute more.
The gap in strength cannot be bridged by quantity. With the muffled sound of "bang bang bang", more than a dozen young people lay on the ground horizontally, wailing for a long time, leaving only the old man Wang Lang still standing.
More villagers came around, but after seeing his bravery, no one dared to come forward to help.
"It's really not a fight. Are you still coming?" asked Li Miao.
In response to him, it was Wang Lang's cold snort.
The old man believed that his strength far surpassed that of Wang Wu and the others, and he had no intention of being afraid at all, and stepped forward with a sword and arrow in his hand, so vigorous that he did not look like an old man at all.
The long sword pierced the air with a sharp whistling, and Li Miao dodged to avoid the edge, raising his foot to fight back.
The two of them fought back and forth, and the surrounding villagers cheered for their head village chief.
The scene seemed to be evenly matched, but a discerning person could see at a glance that Wang Lang couldn't even touch the corners of Li Miao's clothes.
After all, Li Miao is an extraordinary warrior at the mountain and river level, and his strength is a big realm higher than Wang Lang, even if he suffers the loss of weapons and still holds a little girl in his hand, it is not something that Wang Lang, who has just entered the realm of qi refining, can compete.
After a stalemate of less than 1 minute, he spotted a flaw and approached him, and slammed into Wang Lang's chest with the momentum of a bull's horns.
The old man couldn't dodge, he was hit head-on by the brutal force, and a mouthful of old blood immediately sprayed out, flew upside down for more than ten meters, and fell into the crowd.
This is the end of the battle.
"Village Chief!"
"Master!"
The villagers exclaimed, unable to believe that the village chief, who could defeat even a youkai, would be injured by a young man.
They didn't know that Li Miao had actually left his hand, otherwise if he had hit it with all his strength just now, Wang Lang would probably have fallen apart.
"Where's the granary?" he asked.
The villagers glared at him, but no one answered.
Li Miao pursed his lips, immediately changed his tone, and shouted with his cold-blooded attitude when he was fighting in the interstellar battlefield: "Answer me!"
The soldiers of the expeditionary force are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they have killed gods who are hostile to the lives of civilizations. Usually laughing and talking may not be visible, but when it is serious, the murderous spirit can almost be condensed into substance!
The people present were just simple mountain people, most of whom had never even fought, so how could they withstand his terrifying murderous aura.
Someone immediately pointed to a round wooden house not far away.
Li Miao was too lazy to talk nonsense, put away his murderous energy, and went straight to the granary with the fruit.
