Chapter 9: Carrying the Darkness Forward
As soon as he stepped out of the greenhouse, before he could take care of anything, he heard a loud explosion from the direction of the village. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old village chief was shocked, and Uncle Lian, who was still sweeping the snow in the greenhouse, was so frightened that his broom fell, and the villager was even more frightened and dropped his umbrella on the ground.
"How... What's wrong?!" The old village chief vaguely remembered that it was a little warmer in the summer, and such a sound would only be heard when it rained heavily and occasionally thundered, but obviously, how could it be thundering in the snowfall in winter?
Moreover, this sound is not as thick as thunder, but it is far more terrifying than thunder!
Besides, everyone can tell that it is the direction of the village......! It's in the village!
"It's in the village, something must have happened in the village!" the old village chief suddenly became anxious.
Only Chu Tianyin had a slightly thoughtful look on his face.
Not far in front, Wei Tian's father and daughter had already stopped, and Chu Tianyin saw that Wei Tian's originally awe-inspiring face had already risen to a thick seriousness, and he didn't have time to say anything, so he immediately crossed the old village chief and ran in front of Wei Tian and the two.
As soon as he passed, he heard Wei Tian say in a deep voice: "...... It's a cultivator. ”
"The old village chief is just an ordinary person, how could he provoke a cultivator?" Wei Jingyi's serious face was full of doubts.
"What was that voice just now, can you tell me?" Chu Tianyin asked, "Did the cultivator make it?"
When Wei Tian turned around, he saw Chu Tianyin's brows furrowed slightly, he was not panicked like others at a young age, but faintly worried and confused, anxious but calm.
"Hmm. Wei Tian, who had a higher evaluation of Chu Tianyin in his heart, just nodded lightly at the moment, and then looked in the direction of the village and fell into deep thought.
"It was caused by someone injecting the inflammatory power in the body into the rock, and then throwing it into the air to detonate, the purpose is probably to establish power, this must be made by a cultivator, and he is a master, only the strength above the concentrating period can have such an ability. Wei Jingyi's tone was a little eager, and she explained casually, and then walked towards the old village chief who hurried over: "Old village chief, the other party is a powerful cultivator, do you think about what cultivator you have interacted with?"
"Repair... Cultivator?" The old village chief's face turned pale, if it weren't for the support of the villager with an umbrella next to him, he would probably have fallen, but even so, he didn't even think much about it before he directly spoke: "No! Except for the two of them, I have never seen a real cultivator in my life!"
"I'm sure, the biggest person the old village chief has ever seen is our town mayor, there are very few cultivators in the north who come, basically ordinary people who have never seen a cultivator in their lives, let alone our small village with a remote location. Chu Tianyin quickly added, and then asked, "What is the concentrating period?"
"That's weird...... Then how could a cultivator come to your village chief?" Wei Jingyi lowered her head and muttered, and said to Chu Tianyin, "I'll explain this to you later." ”
After speaking, she looked at Wei Tian: "Director Wei, what should we do now?"
The old village chief didn't dare to disturb the contemplative Wei Tian and the two, and secretly grabbed Chu Tianyin's sleeve and said, "Tianyin, do these two adults still want to help us?"
Chu Tianyin glanced at the two of them and replied in a low voice: "I don't know, old village chief, you also know that human nature is complicated, and everyone is usually happy to do a lot of work, but once it takes something to help others, people will become hesitant...... Judging by their cautious appearance, maybe the other party's strength is similar to theirs. ”
Although the old village chief didn't know how to cultivate, how could he not understand what Chu Tianyin meant?
He could see that Wei Tian and the others were a little jealous, if they helped again, they might be desperate, if they just sent the little thief, they would naturally be willing to take down this favor, but how could they be desperate for an irrelevant person?
"I know, Tianyin, you stay here, I have to hurry back to the village, two quarters of an hour! There is not much time!" the old village chief dropped this sentence, and was about to raise his feet and walk in the direction of the village.
Seeing Chu Tianyin pulling himself, he shook him off: "Okay, don't say it, I know what you want to say, I can't let the whole village lose their lives because of my own life! Anyway, I will earn one more day if I live at this age, and they will come at me!"
"Old village chief, you misunderstood, in my heart, you are definitely not a person who steals his life. Chu Tianyin hurriedly explained: "Although I am an orphan, you and the villagers treat me like relatives, now the village is in trouble, as a member of Shanyang Village, of course I can't stay here, I will go back with you, we will face it together!"
At this time, there was no time to think about it, thinking that the person the other party was looking for was himself, as long as he appeared, the others would not be in any danger, so the old village chief said directly: "Okay! Let's go!"
When he crossed in front of Wei Tian and the others, the old village chief hesitated, but still stopped and said, "Two adults...... It seems that the gaffe is serious, I would like to ask the two adults to go to the town now to inform the mayor that Shanyang Village is in trouble, and ask the kingdom to send some cultivator armies to rescue the people. ”
Chu Tianyin added: "Both of them are cultivators, they should be able to get to the town soon, the other party only gave the old village chief two quarters of an hour, and we will hurry back to the village now... I'm tired of both. ”
After speaking, he clenched his fists at Wei Tian and the others.
At this time, knowing that it is very difficult for the other party to help you again, it is better to give the other party a step down, so that at least it will not embarrass both sides.
It's just that, in a hurry, there are too many loopholes in this sentence!
It's reasonable to ask the mayor to dispatch the town's reserve soldiers, but these reserve troops are all ordinary people, and they can maintain order in the town in normal times, and they can't even talk about the ability to suppress bandits, so deal with cultivators?
As for requesting the kingdom to send an army of cultivators for support?
Let's not talk about whether your small village will make the kingdom feel that it is worth sending an army of cultivators, even if it is a request to send it one after another, the kingdom will agree to give orders without thinking about it, and when the sent army of cultivators will really come, I don't know if it will be half a month later!
Wei Tian and Wei Jingyi naturally wouldn't fail to hear that the other party was giving themselves a step.
Recovering from his contemplation, Wei Tian stretched out his hand to stop Chu Tianyin and the two: "I understand what the two of you mean, it's just that they don't want to cause us trouble." ”
was said to be thinking about it, without waiting for the old village chief to speak, Chu Tianyin simply said directly: "That's right, since the other party is a powerful cultivator, there is no need to increase casualties, the two of them have nothing to do with this matter, and I am afraid that it will be ...... if the two of them are involved at this time."
At this point, he didn't go on, but everyone could understand what he meant.
The death of a village is death, why bother with two more of your innocent people?
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, after all, the other party only said that it was to force the old village chief to show up, but when thinking about others, it always needs to be said in the most serious way.
"Two adults, please don't stop me, time is pressing!" The old village chief couldn't care about saying anything else, so he could only ask these two adults not to delay his time any longer.
It's just that Wei Tian didn't just let them go.
He glanced into the distance with some amazement, as if he was talking to himself, "I remember more than thirty years ago, when I first entered the school, my mentor asked me why I wanted to cultivate, and when I was still young, I innocently said that it was because I wanted to become stronger, and the mentor asked me why I wanted to become stronger, and I said that it was to get what I wanted. ”
At this critical moment, he is actually reminiscing?
The old village chief couldn't help but be a little impatient, respecting and flattering you, you really called me as your slave? didn't let you help, you still stopped me, and even let me listen to you talk about your thoughts at this time?
Tianyin is really right! Wronged and belittled himself, he will always make others take it for granted......
"Wait a little longer......" Chu Tianyin's whispered reassurance suddenly came from his ears, and the old village chief looked at it and saw that Chu Tianyin was calm and composed.
The old village chief, who had seen Chu Tianyin since he was a child, was naturally very familiar with him, he knew that Chu Tianyin was not a child without conscience, and he would never ignore the villagers, he was still very calm at this time, could it be ......?
Without waiting for him to think about it too much, he listened to Wei Tian's words and continued: "However, the master told me that my idea is correct, but the most fundamental reason for human cultivation is to protect those who are weaker than myself.
"I also asked my father this in person when I was a child. Wei Jingyi suddenly interjected, with a smile on her face that others couldn't understand: "And my father knocked my head at that time." ”
Wei Tian didn't speak anymore, but Wei Jingyi continued: "When I grew up, I realized that the reason why I have a stable cultivation environment is because there are countless cultivation seniors in front of me to protect our homeland for us, and they have fought bloody battles to block foreign enemies, so that I can cultivate without worries under the protection of their wings...... There is no peaceful life, but there have always been warriors who carry the darkness for everyone. ”
"So, why protect those who are weaker than us?" Wei Tian quietly watched in the direction of the village: "Because they are the future, they are hope. ”
For a while, there was no word.
"Thanks to the efforts of our ancestors, we have a peaceful life today. It was Chu Tianyin who was the first to react, and he made a solemn expression and bowed into the distance.
"I say all this, just to let you understand that cultivators don't back down, let alone because of responsibility! Wei Tian's tone was slightly reproachful: "This is the basic quality that a cultivator must have. ”
"I'm sorry, blame us for ...... before" Chu Tianyin was slightly moved.
"No problem. Wei Tian interrupted and suddenly looked at Wei Jingyi: "Daughter, it seems that the time of our official business is about to be temporarily interrupted." ”
Wei Jingyi nodded calmly, her pretty face in the wind and snow was full of determination, and Chu Tianyin even noticed that her fists were already clenched together.
"The strength of the other party may be on par with mine, and the other party is also two. Wei Tian's tone was calm: "Daughter...... Are you afraid?"
"My daughter is not afraid. Wei Jingyi took a deep breath and suppressed the tension in her heart, at this moment, she just wanted to stare at her father like this: "Fighting side by side with her father, her daughter is fearless!"
