Chapter 33: The Strange Old Man
This is a corner of Zhongzhou, with beautiful mountains and harmonious places. The ancient trees are verdant, the grass is green, the sound of trickling water is faintly coming, it is very comfortable, the sound of birds chirping is in the ears, rippling in the forest.
Some people ask, what kind of existence is Zhongzhou? Others ask, how big is Zhongzhou?
100,000 square meters of mountains, 100,000 square meters of water and land, tens of thousands of human dynasties coexist, hundreds of millions of living beings are arranged in between, strange races, animals and birds, life and breath cover each other, and generations depend on each other, is this all of Zhongzhou? No, this is only a corner of Zhongzhou! I only remember the ancient sage said, "The vastness of Zhongzhou is not enough for outsiders!"
The Northern Dynasty is a drop in the ocean in this corner, you can also call it, the mortal world!
A small mountain village in the south of the ancient capital of the Northern Dynasties, this was originally an extremely beautiful and harmonious blessed land, but at this moment there was a very discordant scenery on his periphery, a dying man was lying quietly on the grass, dying! If it weren't for the faint frequency fluctuations above his chest, it would definitely make people think that he had already cut off his life, and this person was Lu Li!
The blood stains on the face that flowed through the seven orifices had dried up, and the originally delicate face looked hideous at the moment! The tattered blue robe, the scattered hair, and the shocking cracked wound on the chest, anyone who saw such an injured person would only think that he was a corpse!
The only thing that makes people feel bright is his bright eyes, which are full of recklessness and unwillingness, as if clearly engraved with the word perseverance, yes, he stared at his eyes, not dead and blind, but still alive, looking quite shocking!
The bright sunlight slapped on his face through the gaps in the leaves, and Lu Li felt so warm. Suddenly, he grinned! A smile bloomed, but his hideous face seemed extremely harmonious at this moment!
"Are you still alive?"
And less than a foot beside Lu Li, a little beast with a snow-white body and purple eyes was guarding him, and the purple eyes were full of human worries, pacing back and forth, wanting to get closer, but there was flickering and hesitation, and even a trace of fear, very surprised!
......
"Uncle Tiger, we haven't found anything from this hunting, I'm afraid that the people of the village will be hungry again these days!" A human voice came, hearing its voice, the voice was empty and crisp, this person should not be very old, it is estimated that he is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, but for some reason the voice is full of frustration.
Not far away, several figures appeared behind an ancient pine, and at the forefront was a young man. said that he was a teenager because his face was immature, obviously not childish, but his figure was very burly, the lines of the muscles on his body were quite obvious, and the two bulging pieces on his chest were also eye-catching, much stronger than ordinary sturdy adults. There were still some blood marks on the young man's arms that had been scratched by thorns, bright red and dazzling, obviously a new color head not long ago.
There are three people behind the young man, one of whom is also strong and middle-aged, and he should be the tiger uncle in the young man's mouth. He was shirtless, revealing the strong muscles of his upper body, holding a repeater in his hand and a long knife on his back. I didn't care about the young man's words, but his eyes were blazing, and he was still looking around, probably looking for prey!
The other two are also middle-aged, but they are much inferior to the physique of the young man and the big man, one of them holds a spear, the other holds a bow and arrow, Gu is eyes look at the six roads, looking for the prey, but only the young man frowns and pouts, seems to be very dissatisfied with today's hunting trip!
"Uncle Tiger, there's a dead man here!"
The young man exclaimed, and the three people behind him were all shocked!
"Where are you, are you from the village?!"
As he spoke, several people ran in the direction of the young man, not caring whether they would alarm the prey hiding around.
"No, this person is very raw, I have never seen it!"
This is the three people behind him who have already seen Lu Li, and at this time Lu Li's eyes are already closed, and only a faint breath is left!
The middle-aged man's expression was awe-inspiring, and he exclaimed: "No, he still has breath! Ergou, you quickly pick him up, let's hurry to the village and ask the village chief for treatment, then he still has a chance of life!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips, and said reluctantly: "Uncle Tiger, I see that he is seriously injured, even if he is brought back, he can't be saved, why bother to trouble the village chief, besides, we don't know him ......!"
"Shut up!"
The middle-aged man immediately roared angrily, like thunder interrupting the young man's words on a sunny day, and said angrily: "Human life is at stake, so what many excuses! If you don't hug it, I'll hug it!"
As he spoke, without further ado, the middle-aged man handed over the repeating crossbow in his hand to the middle-aged man behind him, stepped forward with an arrow, bent over, stretched out his hand, and stood his knees in one go without the slightest drag in the mud and water, and then rushed in the direction of the village! The remaining two middle-aged men glanced at the young man, shook their heads helplessly, and followed quickly.
The young man stomped his feet, looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and said aggrievedly: "Uncle Tiger is really, what if he is saved, an outsider is not equal to one more person sharing rations!"
......
When Lu Li opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying on a stone bed, and there was a slightly clumsy figure busily with his back to him, fiddling with the herbs in a dustpan, and a piece of white flowers on his head, thinking that he was already old!
"Is it a mortal? There are still mortals above Zhongzhou, or am I back in Luoxia?"
Lu Li looked at the man's back in a daze, his mind full of doubts. In fact, he took it for granted, who said that there are no mortals above Zhongzhou who are all monks, who said that only Luoxia is the mortal world, what is the mortal world, the world that monks generally do not communicate with is the mortal world, there is no clear boundary between the two, but the strength of the realm, the two are divided into two different worlds, one knows the existence of the other, and disdains, one only a few people know the existence of the other, and break the head and want to join, that's all!
"Are you awake?"
The man didn't look back, but he had already found Lu Li waking up, which made Lu Li surprised again!
"Did you save me?"
The man turned around at this time, his face was old, his face was kind, he looked at Lu Li, and said kindly: "It was Huzi who brought you back, I just helped you clean up the wounds, as for saving you, I don't dare to take it, it was you who saved yourself, if you want to thank Huzi, go and thank Huzi, although even if he doesn't bring you back, you may not die, but he is a kind heart after all!"
"I saved myself?" Lu Wei's doubts intensified.
"Can the old man explain it more clearly, the younger generation doesn't understand it very well?"
The old man smiled slightly, and said lightly: "You are not blessed, not everyone has the opportunity to take an elixir like the Red Flame Fruit, so it is said that you saved yourself!"
"You!"
Lu Li was shocked and looked terrified!
"You're not a mortal, you're a cultivator! What does it have to do with the four major sects?"
"The Four Great Sects, Mortals, Cultivators?"
When the old man heard Lu Li's words, he first looked puzzled, and then he was relieved.
"Oh, although I don't know what the four major sects are, but presumably that is the cultivator of the gods in your mouth, mortal gods? Those sanctimonious guys will really get close to their faces, what is a god, is there a god in this world?"
"Maybe there was, but now ......!"
Before the old man finished speaking, he shook his head and walked away, leaving Lu Li, who was full of questions, lying on the stone bed, shocked and inexplicable!
