Chapter 17: Losing the Baby
Xu is young man saw what Ye Hao was thinking, and his face immediately became gloomy.
"Little brother, but you don't feel happy to see the slave's dress?"
"No, no, no," Ye Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This big brother...... No...... This eldest sister, I was just born in this ravine since I was a child, and I have never seen such a pretty person as my eldest sister, so I panicked in my heart. Ye Hao saw that this person's face was not good, and he immediately knew that it was not good.
"Giggles, so that's the case, the little brother's face doesn't look like a liar, and my sister will believe you. The young man in black had a murderous look on his face, and then he giggled.
"Little brother, do you know where there is a Shijia Village at the foot of this Jilei Mountain?"
"I know, go east for half an hour," he said, Ye Hao raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Shijia Village.
"Giggles, thank you, little brother. The black-clothed young man laughed as he walked to the east.
Ye Hao wiped the sweat from his head, and was secretly trying to escape, but when he saw that the young man couldn't walk ten steps but turned back, he smiled at Ye Hao and said, "Little brother, my sister really has something to do today, otherwise, a handsome and obedient brother like you, my sister will definitely not let you leave alone." The young man licked his lips subconsciously as he spoke.
This action was seen by Ye Hao, and he suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, cold sweat flowed, and he immediately replied: "Sister, if you have something to do, you will be busy, and you will definitely meet when you have the opportunity in the future." ”
"Well, that's right, hehe, I'll look for you when my sister is done with business. The black-clothed young man smiled charmingly at Ye Hao, and disappeared in front of Ye Hao like a ghost.
Ye Hao was shocked into a cold sweat, although he was young, he could also see that this young man in black had bad intentions, but in a moment, he had already slipped around outside the ghost gate. Ye Hao didn't dare to stay under the tree any longer, secretly thinking that today would not go well, and if he waited any longer, he didn't know who else he would meet, so it would be better to leave quickly.
Coincidentally, the rain had just stopped at this time, and Ye Hao immediately galloped in the direction of Linjia Village. The cool breeze gusted, with the moisture after the rain, spread on the face, and the clouds on the top of the thunder mountain in the distance were full of thunder, lightning flashed, clouds and fog, vast as the sky, but unfortunately Ye Hao had no Yaxing at this time, and just wanted to escape home in one step.
Seeing that Linjia Village was in sight, Ye Hao's heart was a little calm, and his steps slowed down unconsciously.
Suddenly, there were a few black shadows shuttling away in front of Ye Hao's eyes, attracting a few black cries, the voice was full of sadness, and there were a few baby cries in the night wind, which made the night look extraordinarily dignified, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and even his heartbeat and breathing became extremely clear.
Ye Hao pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, stopped, and looked forward carefully, but saw a few black-clothed people faintly surrounded not far in front of him, not knowing what he was saying, he suddenly felt surprised in his heart, how could there be so many living people in this barren mountain and bald mountain place, and hurriedly hid in the bushes, wanting to see the truth, but when he hid his body and looked again, he saw that these black-clothed people "swished" and disappeared, and they were nowhere to be found.
He did not dare to linger long, but hurried back to the village, and as soon as he entered the village, he heard the cry of a woman. Ye Hao was surprised in his heart, and when he asked someone, he knew that the child of the seventh aunt in the village who had just been born less than three months ago had been lost.
Ye Hao was suspicious, it was the child who lost it, no wonder the seventh aunt cried so sadly. But then I thought about it, how could a three-month-old child lose it if he couldn't run by himself, unless he was taken away...... Suddenly, Ye Hao's eyes widened, the few black-clothed people he saw on the way back to the village just now...... Could it be that those people stole the children of the Seventh Aunt's family? But what is the use of them stealing a small baby? Ye Hao scratched his head, thought about it for a long time, and had no clue, so he had to go home.
Ye Hao didn't dare to disturb his mother's rest, tiptoed back to the house, closed the door, lay on the bed, and wanted to go to bed early, but the shadows of those people always appeared in front of him, the more he wanted to sleep, the clearer these figures became, and then he remembered some of the situations in his practice, and he couldn't sleep.
"After more than half a month of cultivation, although the dantian condensation qi is still not improving, the acupoints at the legs seem to be a little loose, after cultivating according to the Burning Void Sutra exercises, the veins at the legs seem to have a trace of aura that can be stored, and they don't disappear without a trace as before, could it be that the cultivation in the past few months has had an effect?"
Ye Hao secretly pondered, since I can't sleep, why don't I practice the method of refining the internal qi essence and the method of burning the void scripture again.
So he sat up cross-legged, and once again began to refine that internal qi essence according to the method taught by the immortal old man, and after a while, Ye Hao felt the pain coming, and his whole body trembled. Like a cone piercing and painful, Ye Hao's body had gradually curled up into a ball, and his whole body was in cold sweat.
Although it was a severe pain, but in the past half a month, after every cultivation, Ye Hao had long been accustomed to it, even if the pain was so weak that his whole body was weak, he always insisted until his whole body became numb and gradually lost consciousness.
In the middle of the night, there was suddenly another scream, piercing the sky.
Ye Hao was frightened, sat up, and muttered, "What's going on?" He got up and pushed the door out, and found that many people in the village had also been awakened and came out of the door to investigate.
"Oh my God, my child......" cries with a sad cry.
Just feeling hesitant, Wanqing walked over and said with a sad face: "Brother Hao, the children of the fourth sister's family have also been lost." In the past three days, the village has lost six children under the age of one. ”
Ye Hao chuckled in his heart when he heard this, he immediately woke up to the fact that these children must have been stolen by someone, and then thinking of what he saw on the road, Ye Hao was almost sure in his heart that those babies must have been kidnapped by the few men in black he saw.
At this time, the village chief Lin Deshou also came out to check the situation, and Ye Hao immediately stepped forward and said, "Patriarch, in the past few days, our village has lost babies one after another, and I know the reason." ”
Lin Deshou was on crutches, and was being supported by Lin Mo and Lin Ding, asking about the situation, and when he heard this, he turned his head and asked, "Hao'er, what do you know?" ”
"Hmm", Ye Hao nodded, and recounted what he saw on the way back to the village at night. Lin Deshou frowned when he heard this, and said: "Listen to what you said, the babies lost in the village during this time should be the work of these black-clothed people, but our Lin family village has never interacted with the outside world, how can we get into such a trouble......
After pondering for a moment, Lin Deshou said to Lin Ding beside him: "Lin Ding, you go to Shijia Village tomorrow, tell Shi Weng the truth about what happened recently, and let him make another divination......
"Okay. Lin Ding responded.
Lin Deshou looked at the mess in the village, and had mixed feelings in his heart: "So many things have happened recently...... The Lin family has lived a comfortable life for thousands of years, could it be that in the end, maybe in response to Shi Weng's words, the luck of this world is really going to change......" He leaned over and said to Lin Mo beside him: "These days have not been peaceful, you let the village strengthen its vigilance, and you must always guard the surroundings of the village...... ...... if necessary Just send the Three Holy Arrows. ”
Lin Mo's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he lowered his voice and said, "Patriarch, do you really want to send the Three Holy Arrows?"
Lin Deshou nodded helplessly: "If it really comes to that point, then send it." After speaking, Lin Deshou walked forward tremblingly with a cane.
"Alas......" Lin Mo looked at the back of the village chief, sighed, flicked his sleeves violently, and turned to leave.
"Three Holy Arrows, what is that?" Ye Hao didn't know why, he was confused, but he also seemed to have some feelings in his heart, from today onwards, Linjia Village might not be peaceful anymore.
If something really happens to Linjia Village, then who will protect the mother, who will protect Wanqing, and who will protect those brothers of their own. Ye Hao clenched his fists, he understood that if he wanted to protect those most important people, he had to have the ability, otherwise he could only drag others down, let alone protect. He secretly made up his mind that he must open up his death vein, only by opening this death vein, can he really enter the path of cultivating immortals, otherwise he has no cultivation method, but he can't cultivate, which is even more worrying and crazy than killing him.
The mixed feelings of the villagers gradually dispersed, and the night returned to normal, except for the occasional woman's cry, which made the night even more chilly.
Gradually, the woman's sobs were faintly audible, and everything was silent. The faint mist like light smoke came slowly, diffusing and rippling in the moonlit night, with the occasional black cry and a few wolf howls, and a mysterious and strange atmosphere flowed in the dead wilderness.
Suddenly, a few black shadows hovered above Linjia Village, hunting in clothes, breaking through the air.
But just when a few black shadows were about to enter Linjia Village, several sudden white lights came silently, and this white light came quickly and abruptly, and when the cold light flickered, it was faintly seen that it was a short arrow shot out. The man in black was caught off guard, and suddenly several people were hit by arrows, and they fell down without shouting.
The man in black who led the way was able to avoid this killer assassination, and he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary mountain village could no longer be ordinary, but there were actually masters in charge. As soon as he was distracted, another round of arrows flashed, and the two people on his side were also hit by arrows and fell into the dust. He looked back and saw that there were only three of the dozen or so people who followed. He was horrified in his heart, and said hatefully: "Withdraw." ”
Before the words fell, not far behind him, a voice sounded: "His grandmother's, since they are all here, why are you in such a hurry to leave." ”
The masked leader of the man in black turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing in the air not far away, with a round belly, smiling innocently.
The three men in black didn't say anything, turned around and left.
"Three, come with me into the village for a drink. Directly in front, a middle-aged gentleman wearing a square scarf, a cloth robe, and a beard twisted in his hands said lightly.
turned around again, but saw a burly man in black already in front of him, with a Chinese face, a majestic instrument, exuding a murderous aura all over his body, and said coldly: "You still want to escape?"
The three black-clothed people knew that something was wrong, and they were about to turn around and escape, when they suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind them. Turning around, a ruthless hunter in his thirties, holding a huge black bow in his hand, and three long arrows that shone with blue light on the bow. There is no doubt that as long as they act recklessly, the three of them will end up in blood.
The three of them looked at each other, and the man in black who led the way shouted fiercely: "Fight." ”
The three figures are divided into three different directions, directly taking the Orion with the bow and arrow, they understand that this arrow is the most dangerous at the moment, kill this Orion who can attack from afar, only have a chance to escape, otherwise it can only be used as a target.
The middle-aged man who looked like a hunter grinned at the corner of his mouth, showing a contemptuous smile, and with a flick of his fingers, the three long arrows on the string flew out, and the screams came, and as the two blood mist burst out, the two black-clothed men were completely wiped out with nothing left.
The leading man in black used all his strength to block the long arrow that was shooting at him, and then swung the long knife in his hand and slashed at the hunter in front of him. The Orion didn't move, just as if this domineering knife was not slashing at him.
A blood mist rang up, and the hunter was unharmed, but the man in black was shocked to find that the arrow blocked by his long knife had actually shot from behind, piercing his thigh alive. The man in black screamed in pain and fell.
The four people who suddenly appeared were Lin Ding, Lin Mo, Lin Chong, and Lin Xi from Linjia Village.
If Lin Long and Lin Hu were here, they would definitely be stunned by the situation in front of them, the most ordinary mountain village hunter who usually looked the most ordinary turned out to be his father...... It's a pity that a few people didn't see it, otherwise the expressions would have been wonderful.
Lin Ding grabbed the neck of the man in black and dragged him to the ground like a chicken, until he walked outside the house of Lin Deshou, the village chief.
"Come in. The door opened silently.
The four dragged the man in black into the room, and the old village chief Lin Deshou sat on the bamboo chair, constantly looking at the man in black in front of him.
Lin Ding stepped forward and pulled down the masked black scarf of the man in black, revealing a cruel face.
Lin Deshou shook the crutches in his hand and shouted: "Who are you, what are you doing with my Linjia Village, why did you kidnap the children in my Linjia Village?"
The man in black was sweating profusely and endured the pain: "I have no comment on who I am. You acquaintances hurry up and let Uncle Ben go, otherwise your Lin Family Village is not far from hell on earth, haha. ”
"Pap", Lin Ding came up with two slaps, and the black-clothed man had stars in his eyes and blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"His grandmother's, at this time, he will give his grandfather a strong hand. ”
The man in black suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, and said viciously: "Haha, you remember, someone will avenge me, and when the time comes, you will not even have a dog left in Linjia Village." ”
After saying that, I saw this person bow to the west, and shouted in his mouth: "Welcome the return of the demon lord and regain control of the ...... of life and death in the world" After finishing speaking, I saw the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth move, and strands of black blood gushed out of his mouth, and he instantly withered.
Take poison!
Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly went up and pinched the mouth of the man in black and sent in a pill. However, after only a moment, the entire face of the man in black was as black as paint, and he was powerless.
Lin Mo was silent for a while and shook his head: "This poison is hidden in the mouth, it is extremely poisonous, and there is no way to save it." ”
Lin Ding, who was beside him, slammed his fist on the ground when he heard the words, "His grandmother's, she died before she could ask about the whereabouts of those children, she is really fucking unwilling." ”
Several others also looked resentful.
Lin Deshou thought for a moment and said, "With such a careful arrangement, it seems that he is not an ordinary person...... Search him and see what is left. ”
"Yes" Lin Xi agreed, and searched the man in black for a while, but there was nothing else except for some ordinary items such as fire folds.
Lin Ding was so angry that he went up and grabbed the collar of the man in black, and with a "stab" sound, he grabbed his shirt off and slammed it to the ground. Lin Xi's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that on the left arm of the man in black, there was a cyan word "fire" engraved.
"There's a fire word. ”
When everyone saw this word, their faces couldn't help but change greatly.
"It's the Demon Cult ......"
