Chapter 47 Dahuai Village
After leaving that place, Ye Lei didn't go too far, but this time Ye Lei planned to travel all over the entire Kyushu Continent, although he had cultivated to the realm of Tianwu, but he hadn't completely walked through this continent, except for Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Youzhou, Ye Lei was just passing by and didn't really walk through other places.
With Ye Lei's current strength, he can travel the entire Kyushu Continent at the fastest speed, but Ye Lei didn't do this, he wanted to walk through the entire continent little by little, and all kinds of people on the continent would give him some inspiration, Ye Lei didn't want to improve his cultivation now, he wanted to know, how to find his true self.
In his previous life, Ye Lei, as a killer, was only to complete the task, to kill for the sake of killing, to kill for the sake of completing the commission, no matter how powerful his opponent was, no matter whether he had to face a good person or a bad person, what he had to do was to kill him, and he didn't need to think too much.
But when he arrived at this place, Ye Lei had to think about more things, family affection, friendship, these things that he would not have been exposed to in his previous life came one after another in this world, I don't know when it started, the fetters took root in his heart, and it was this thing that made Ye Lei's personality change.
"I don't know when it started, my personality began to become indecisive, some things obviously don't have so many accidents, but it's all because of me, and when facing the Wheel King, my conceit almost cost me my life. Ye Lei thought as he walked at this time, and accidentally bumped into a little girl next to him.
"I'm really sorry, are you okay?" Ye Lei leaned down, although the little girl was knocked to the ground by Ye Lei, but the little girl did not cry, but stood up and patted the soil on her body, and smiled at Ye Lei with an indifferent face, Ye Lei saw this child and thought of Ye Xian'er when she was young.
"This big brother, I'm so sorry, I just bumped into your daughter. Ye Lei looked at the girl's parents at this time and said, "I don't know where the nearest village near here is, I've been on the road for a day, I want to find a place to rest, and I ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law to tell me, and the younger brother is here to thank you first." ”
"Young man, you are not very old, so you must not be a local. At this time, the girl's mother looked at Ye Lei and said, "But your luck is really good, we happen to be the villagers of Dahuai Village near here, if you don't dislike it, just go with us, it just so happens that there is a vacant room in the cold house." ”
"Since that's the case, it's really the best!" Ye Lei looked at the girl's mother at this time, took out some scattered silver taels and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a little careful, please accept it first." ”
"You just keep this money, it's not easy to go out, look at your age is in your twenties, but you should be married at this age, you are wandering outside like this, presumably your wife and children at home should also miss you very much, listen to me, and have time to go back to see them." ”
"The sister-in-law's teachings, the younger brother remembers them. Ye Lei looked at the two couples at this time, these two people looked like they were in their thirties, but the two of them were very affectionate, as if they were newlyweds, and Ye Lei also learned from the conversation that he had just knocked down a girl named Qingqing, who was also a lively and sensible child.
"By the way, little brother, what's your name?" Qingqing's father looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Looking at your appearance, you shouldn't be an ordinary person, tell your eldest brother, what level of cultivation you have reached now, I will never be mistaken, you should be a martial artist, what I said is not wrong." ”
"Little brother, don't listen to your eldest brother's nonsense. At this time, Qingqing's mother glanced at her father-in-law and said, "Qingqing's father has always wanted to be a martial artist in his life, but unfortunately his family was poor when he was a child, and he had no conditions to practice martial arts, so he became an ordinary person." ”
"Big brother and sister-in-law, my name is Tian Yu, and I am indeed a martial artist. Ye Lei looked at these two people at this time and said, But my cultivation is not high, I have just reached the innate level, compared to you, my physical fitness is just a little better, as for anything else, there is still no difference.
"Uncle, are you really a martial artist!" At this time, Qingqing looked at Ye Lei with a pair of big eyes and said, "Uncle, you are really amazing, Daddy said that what he envied the most since he was a child is the person who can become a martial artist, even now, Daddy sometimes secretly goes out to practice martial arts by himself!"
"Qingqing, you girl is really ......" Qingqing's father said a little shyly at this time, "That was more than half a year ago, I now know that I can't become a martial artist, and I have given up a long time ago, but I really envy you, you can have such a long life." ”
"In this life, it is better to live a long life than to live a wonderful life!" Ye Lei said at this time, "Some people have lived a mediocre life, and in the end they have not gained anything, and they live a life aimlessly, this is not life, even if it is a martial artist, we are not cultivating because we can live longer." ”
"Hahaha, but I really envy you, Brother Tian Yu, look, in front of us is our Dahuai Village, the characteristic of our Dahuai Village is the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, don't you know, this old locust tree has been here for hundreds of years, and it is said that the history of our Dahuai Village is even older. ”
"Yes, this big locust tree is the patron saint of our village. Qingqing's mother looked at this big locust tree, and her heart was extremely respectful, as if this big locust tree had wisdom, according to them, for so many years, there have been no accidents in Dahuai Village, all because of this big locust tree blessing them.
"Uncle Tian Yu, you must not have guessed that when we were young, we all drank the sap of the big locust tree to have such a strong physique now!" Qingqing looked at Ye Lei at this time, his face full of pride, "Our village chief said that we will protect this big locust tree for the rest of our lives, so that we will be protected by the tree god." ”
For a long time, Ye Lei didn't believe much in the theory of ghosts and gods, the so-called ghosts and gods are just humans or monsters who have cultivated to a certain realm, but these people and demons who are good in their hearts have become gods in people's mouths, and those who are evil in their hearts have become demons in people's mouths.
Coming to Dahuai Village, Ye Lei didn't feel anything unusual about this tree, it was just an ordinary locust tree, and Ye Lei didn't care much about this thing, it may be the psychological effect of the villagers that will deify this tree, but it's okay, it's much better to have faith than to live blindly.
"However, it's better to keep something like a locust tree outside the village. Ye Lei looked at the big locust tree in front of him at this time, and also bowed three times like Qingqing's family, but after learning the "Guigu Dao Technique", he knew that the locust tree belonged to the yin and evil things, and if it was too long, it would not be beneficial to people's cultivation life.
At night, the villagers in the village went to bed early, but Ye Lei has developed a habit over the years, at night, if it is not a special situation, Ye Lei likes to meditate, in this way, Ye Lei can also get a better rest, and he can also keep himself in cultivation.
But this night is not destined to be peaceful, just when the child is in time, Ye Lei heard some strange sounds in the village, at first Ye Lei thought it was the sound of the wind blowing leaves, but after a long time, Ye Lei felt that something was wrong, this sound was a little strange.
With Ye Lei's cultivation, it was still very simple to walk out of the room without waking up Qingqing's family, but when he saw what was happening in the village, he was stunned, he didn't expect that Dahuai Village, which was peaceful during the day, would be such a scene at night.
Ye Lei found that he actually saw ghosts, originally Ye Lei didn't believe in ghosts, but when he learned "Ghost Valley Taoism", he found that ghosts really existed in this world, and at this time, these ghosts in front of him were under the big locust tree, and they didn't know what they were tearing.
"This is a demon beast!" Ye Lei approached and found that these ghosts were actually biting an adult demon beast, although this demon beast was not a powerful demon beast, but for these people who had not practiced martial arts, the appearance of this demon beast would definitely bring ruin to these people.
Ye Lei looked closer, these ghosts had actually discovered him, but these ghosts didn't seem to be interested in him at all, just biting this demon beast here little by little, until this demon beast was completely eaten, these ghosts disappeared little by little, in this process, these ghosts did not act on Ye Lei at all.
"What's going on?" Ye Lei found that this demon beast was handled quite cleanly, and he couldn't even see any traces of the demon beast's appearance, and in the next few days, Ye Lei stayed in Dahuai Village in order to figure out this matter, but as long as the time came every day, there would definitely be demon beasts, and these ghosts would definitely eat these demon beasts.
Although Ye Lei couldn't figure out why such a thing happened, one thing was certain, the purpose of these ghosts was to protect the people in this village, if it weren't for these ghosts, the entire Dahuai Village would have been eaten by these demon beasts a long time ago, and it would not have appeared in this place at all.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, for so many years, haven't we the people of Dahuai Village provoked the big locust tree?" Ye Lei asked while eating, "I think this big locust tree really has some magical power, if you provoke the big locust tree, it may not end well." ”
"That's natural, and there's actually been such a thing. Qingqing's father looked at Ye Lei and said, "Actually, more than ten years ago, our neighboring village was not as barren as it is now, and at that time they were also a relatively wealthy village in the vicinity, but overnight, the entire village was attacked by demon beasts. ”
"I remember very clearly, that morning, the people of their village wanted to buy this big locust tree in our village, of course we would not agree, so the people of their village seemed to use strong means to buy and sell, and finally the two families broke up unhappily, that night, they were slaughtered by demon beasts. ”
"As for the person who forcibly bought the big locust tree, not only did he die an ugly death, but all his internal organs were dragged out and thrown on the tree at the entrance of their village, not to mention how miserable it was. Qingqing's father stopped when he said this, "Look at me, I'm eating, but I'm talking about this kind of thing." ”
In this way, Qingqing's father didn't say any more, but that night, Ye Lei came to the side of the big locust tree, and stroked the trunk of the big locust tree with his hand.
"I see, these demon beasts are all attracted by you, Mr. Tree Spirit, don't you want to say something to me?" Ye Lei looked at the big locust tree at this time, and said calmly, "If you don't say it, don't blame me for being rude, you should be able to see that I am not an innate martial artist." ”
"Please also ask the hero's subordinates to be merciful. At this time, the big locust tree turned into a human form little by little, and at this time, those ghosts also appeared, according to the convention, these ghosts ate the demon beast little by little, and soon, the demon beast was eaten by these ghosts, but Ye Lei's interest was in the body of this tree demon.
"Why are you doing this?" Ye Lei looked at the locust tree demon at this time and asked, "With your strength, you can completely kill these villagers and make up for yourself, but not only did you not do this, but you have been guarding these villagers, I really find it hard to believe that you are actually a demon." ”
"The villagers of Dahuai Village have always regarded me as their patron saint, and I can become a demon because of their credit. The locust tree demon looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "If it weren't for the power of their faith, I wouldn't be able to have spiritual wisdom at all now, just an ordinary big locust tree." ”
"If you think so now, will you still think so in the future?" Ye Lei said as he looked at the locust tree demon at this time, "Sometimes, these things can't help you, if they are really in danger, will they still pray to you and let you bless them?" Of course, I'm not saying that what you did was wrong. ”
"I have a ruler in my heart for these natures, my reason tells me that I can be worthy of myself by doing this, you see these souls, these are the old people who passed away in Dahuai Village, their souls have turned into my leaves, they have given up reincarnation, just to protect their descendants. ”
"I didn't expect that someone would choose to do so. Ye Lei looked at these ghosts at this time, he didn't expect that these ghosts turned out to be the ancestors of Dahuai Village, "Originally, I also planned to give some martial arts to the people in this village, so that they can embark on the path of martial artists, but now it seems that it should not be necessary." ”
At this time, Ye Lei took out an elixir and put it in the hand of the locust tree demon, this elixir is a special elixir refined by Ye Lei, it is an elixir specially designed to help plant-type demon beasts cultivate, Ye Lei only has this one in his hand, but Ye Lei chose to give it to the locust tree demon, which can be regarded as a recognition of the locust tree demon.
"Thank you. The locust tree demon looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "No matter when, I will take good care of these villagers, now it seems that they are all my children, I still remember that someone once wanted to exchange ten million taels of gold for me, but these villagers refused." ”
"Plant good cause and get good results, this is their due reward, but you have to stick to your own heart, since you have chosen to guard, then you must not give up, if one day, I find out that you have given up on them, you should know what I will do. Ye Lei looked at the locust tree demon at this time and said.
"Even if you don't give me this pill, I will always protect them!" "This is my mission, to protect the villagers of Dahuai Village, my heart is extremely satisfied, they are as if they are my own children, looking at them, I will have some satisfaction in my heart." ”
"I gave you the elixir in the hope that you can become stronger, and you can live with these people before any accidents happen. Ye Lei looked at the locust tree demon at this time and said, "As for how you want to use this power, I don't care about this matter, but if you disobey my orders, your consequences will be like this." ”
At this time, a branch appeared in Ye Lei's hand, and in an instant, this branch was burned to ashes by Ye Lei, which made the locust tree demon very frightened, this was the first time he had seen such a powerful human warrior, at this time he couldn't help but be a little lucky, fortunately Ye Lei was not an enemy, but his friend.
That night, Ye Lei quickly returned to his room, and the next day, Ye Lei chose to leave, since this place has a locust tree demon, and he also gave the locust tree demon an elixir to resist the power of the netherworld, so that they don't have to worry about this village being occupied by the power of the netherworld.
"Thank you for taking care of you during this time. The next morning, Ye Lei chose to say goodbye, compared to the harmony in Dahuai Village, Ye Lei still has more things to do, although this harmony is very attractive to him, but Ye Lei knows that he can't stay too long.
"Uncle Tian Yu, are you leaving?" Qingqing looked at Ye Lei at this time, in the past few days, Ye Lei has been teaching Qingqing some simple martial arts, especially ancient yoga, although Qingqing has passed this age, but if Qingqing cultivates now, he can still achieve a little success, at least, it is also good to become an acquired martial artist.
Leaving Dahuai Village, Ye Lei walked towards the next place, she is still in Youzhou now, it won't be long before she can leave Youzhou and go to the next place, however, Ye Lei still feels that the big locust tree is very magical, and it is really unexpected that she has become a demon beast just by relying on the power of human faith.
"The power of faith, it seems that there is one more thing that needs to be deeply understood. Ye Lei looked into the distance at this time and said, "Kyushu Continent, I'm going to go all over you next, I hope my trip this time can be more meaningful, and I still have to find my true self." ”
In the past few days of staying in Dahuai Village, Ye Lei also had deep feelings in his heart, because of the faith of the villagers, the originally yin Dahuai Tree had a spiritual wisdom, and this spiritual wisdom did not have a trace of evil thoughts, all this is the power of faith, but the way of life in Dahuai Village does not belong to Ye Lei, and Ye Lei chose to leave because of this.
Continuing to walk forward, Ye Lei has been looking for his true self, but no matter how he searched, he did not find the so-called true self, although his heart was very touched, but he didn't think that he should live like that, and that was not the life he wanted to get.
"Young master, you are very confused now. At this time, the Stygian Moon appeared beside Ye Lei, "I don't know if there is anything I can do to help you?"
"Stygian Moon, what do you think the real me should look like?" Ye Lei looked at Stygian Moon at this time, his eyes were a little trance-like, "I have now reached the realm of Heavenly Martial Arts, but I always feel that something is missing in my heart, but I can't think clearly of what is missing." ”
"In that case, let it be, God will let you find it sooner or later, don't you?" said Stygian.
