Chapter 9: The Deadly Plague of Beasts
Shan Xing looked up at Li Wu with some caution, his red eyes flickering, few people in the evil army spoke to him so peacefully, putting themselves in the same position as him.
Shan Xing already knew that he had been trapped, and he thought that the person entrusted by Ding Ming would be a good family if he didn't give him instructive, even if he was perfunctory and sent away three meals a day, he was already very content. Cowardly as Shan Xing, how could he have thought that he would be treated so favorably. Therefore, invisibly, he was also a little closer to Na Liwu.
After Li Wu introduced Shan Xing into the house, everything was on the right track. At first, Shan Xing's appearance in this small Yu Village also set off a few waves, after all, a half-beast person can be bullied, but Shan Xing has the protection of Ding Ming and the deterrence of Li Wu's blood and water before, plus Shan Xing's deep residence has not touched the interests of everyone, and the villagers have not rejected Shan Xing too much on the surface.
After all, most people in the world live on interests, and they act around interests, and if they are good for common interests, they will be friends, and if they infringe on interests, they will be enemies, and the so-called principle of benevolence and righteousness is just a joke for most sentient beings who chase fame and fortune.
After Li Wu worshiped that Ding Ming as his teacher, he practiced martial arts every day, refining the green spirit liquid and washing the marrow, a few years have passed, not only the physical strength is a lot stronger, but there is also a faint amount of true qi in the dantian, and it has reached the eighth level of foundation building.
Ding Ming was also quite surprised by the speed of Li Wu's martial arts cultivation, and even sighed that Li Wu, this kid, was extremely perceptive. He also took some time to teach the weak Shan Xing to cultivate martial arts.
With the limit of the prohibition, he could not cultivate so effectively, Li Wu was already very happy in his heart, so he also helped Shan Xing correct a few moves when he had nothing to do, Shan Xing originally had the blood of the beast clan, and he learned this way of killing quickly, and he even reached the realm of the second order of foundation building in a flash. As the saying goes, teaching and learning are mutually beneficial, and the two have become a lot closer to each other. It's just that Shan Xing is delicate and closed-minded, and he still has a long way to go if he wants to open his heart.
Li Wu helped Shan Xing to cultivate easily, and he didn't ask for anything from him, so he didn't have the obsession to call Shan Xing a brother and sister in his heart. Relying on the livelihood of refining Qingling Grass, Li Wu can have an income of 3,000 silver coins in a month, which is converted into 600 silver coins in a month, which can be described as a lot of harvest in the past few years. It's not that he didn't think about trying to regain the condensation of the elixir, but martial arts cultivation comes first, and wealth comes later, and everything can be slowly figured out.
And that Huaiyan was originally a saint, even if the talent of rebirth has not diminished at all, Ning Po's cultivation is even Ding Ming, a fifth-order cultivator who has been sealed and ming, can not see through, Li Wu roughly estimated that Ning Po is only the realm of metamorphosis, so Yang Ning Po brought up Huaiyan, if Li Wu is extremely perceptive, then Huaiyan is talented, a few years of star changes, the first ten years old Huaiyan has reached the fifth order of Chengdan, the speed of cultivation is really amazing.
Five years later, Li Wu has already raised his figure, and he no longer looks like a child, and Huaiyan is even more of a lovely person, but he also has the appearance of a girl. It's just that Shan Xing still looks weak, which makes people look pitiful.
It was almost late autumn on this day, and Yucun, which should have been waiting for winter peacefully, was shrouded in the haze of death.
At first, it seemed that the broken leg Wang Lao Er rolled his eyes and died at home, and then it was the turn of the old people in the village, and the sudden death caught the ignorant Yucun people off guard, it seemed that there were too many deaths, and the Yuzhen town above also sent people with cultivation to help, and the villagers of Yucun held a few sacrifices, and the money cost a lot. However, instead of decreasing, the number of dead people increased dramatically, and the calamity swept through the entire Yu Village like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves. It is said that the autumn wind sweeps the leaves without leaving a tail, and the upper head is left to the table but there is no actual action. If this situation continues, I am afraid that this Yu Village will not be able to keep it.
Li Wu and the others have the green spirit liquid to protect their bodies, but they are not afraid of this difficulty, they have no feelings for the people in Yu Village, so they just reduce the number of people who go out.
In Li Wu's view, this Yu Town was just afraid that the disaster of Yu Village would spread, so Yang and the other three or four villages sent cultivators to come, in the name of assistance, it was really a deterrent, and they were unwilling to contribute money and efforts, and let Yu Village toss it by itself, but it has the meaning of letting Yu Village fend for itself.
The location of Yucun is special, Yucun is a hundred miles out of the evil army station, Yucun has no city defense, once the evil army Taoguang is obscure, and then enter Yucun as if entering the realm of no one. Just wait for the capture of the evil army of Nayu Town, which is even more invincible, and can go all the way to the south to endanger the capital of the Qing Kingdom, to which the northern city belongs.
Earlier, some people in Qingguo suggested that Yucun should be moved to Beicheng City Army Station, but although Beicheng returned to Qingguo, it was actually a faction of its own, and this Qingguo has always been known for its openness to the people, even though Qingguo issued a summoning order, but Yucun has lived for generations and is unwilling to relocate, and Beicheng is unwilling to pay money to appease, as the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, this Yucun matter has also been shelved.
This disaster may not be an opportunity for Beicheng, thinking of this, Li Wu also stopped, did not continue to think deeply, left and right have nothing to do with him.
Yucun suffered this catastrophe, the most significant change is that the agreed autumn hunting over the years has disappeared, in this Yucun miserable juncture, the mountain beasts on the loess mountain are bold and bold, for a time lively and extraordinary.
I don't know where the rumors came from, but before Ning Po got up the next day, someone knocked on the door of the house.
Li Wu got up early to meditate, but hesitated slightly, looked outside, and saw that there was only one person, so he opened the door lightly.
The appearance of the person who came was familiar, and there was no doubt that he was the leader who came with the big man who was refined into blood by Li Wu five years ago. Except for his haggard face, the leader's face hadn't changed much, so Li Wu recognized him at a glance.
"What's the matter?" Li Wu said succinctly, obviously unwilling to talk nonsense with the person who disturbed his morning cultivation.
"I heard that there was a wild marten in your house yesterday, and someone in the village sent me to inquire, I wonder if there is such a thing?" the leader spoke respectfully, even with unspeakable fear.
Five years have passed, and it stands to reason that the past is fading, but the memory of blood and water lingers in the leader's mind like a knife. He didn't get the disease, he didn't have a wife and children at home, only an old mother, but he was happy before the disease raged, he didn't want to set foot here again, but he was pushed out by those Xiao Xiao, and there was no other way but to open his mouth.
"Nope. Li Wu looked at the beads of sweat on the leader's forehead, continued, and let out a chuckle: "Let's talk about it, why did you come." ”
"Illness has been rampant in the village lately, you know it. The leader looked up at Li Wu carefully, and then said, "The person sent from above said that this is a plague of beasts. ”
Beast plague? Li Wu flashed in his heart, there is a shortage of food in this village, in addition to the staple sweet potato, he lives on animal meat all day long, and it is not impossible to get sick after eating sick animal meat.
"What does this have to do with my family?" After thinking about it, Li Wu really felt funny, "Didn't someone see that no one in my family had an accident, so they were anxious and red-eyed, and made up a wild mink at random to tell the world that I deliberately spread this beast plague?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Seeing Li Wu's faint anger, the leader trembled with fright. If he had told the words of those fools in the village, he would not have been able to account for his little life here today.
Yesterday, there were sharp-eyed people in the village who saw a white wild thing enter Li Wu's house, and Li Wu has always been elusive, and when he saw the beginning and the end, some people raised doubts, and when he responded, everyone seemed to have found the truth that he had sought for a long time, but he cowered and did not dare to come out, he was unlucky to be this microphone, but he didn't want to lose his life again.
"If you don't dare, you won't come. Li Wu scoffed, "What other jokes did they say, you can tell me and hear it." ”
The leader was shocked and subconsciously looked up.
I saw Li Wu wearing a moon-white robe, the elegant color lined his face like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, even if a pair of clear Ruifeng eyes under the slender eyelashes revealed a little bit of banter, it did not reduce the wind of Langyi at all, but added a little earthly reality to the ethereal. If you don't look at the blood-colored scar on your face, you can be called a young man.
It can be seen that five years is really enough to change a person. The leader sighed, since Li Wu spoke, he could only convey the meaning of the villagers euphemistically, "You guessed right, they suspect that the beast plague is coming from your house. After all, everyone in the village is in danger, and there are very few families who are completely healthy and not sick. Plus the marten and the ............ in your house"
The leader's pause made Li Wu frown: "Do you want to talk about Shan Xing?"
"It's all because your guest is a half-beast, and they suspect that he is the cause of the trouble. The leader said and hurriedly wiped the fine beads of sweat from his head and plucked himself out, "It's just that the villain thinks it's just nonsense, the ...... Childe has been living here for more than five years, if he wanted to turn it back, he should have made a move, how could he have a sudden attack after five years, besides, ......"
"Besides, he has no grievances with these stupid people in Yu Village, so why should he spend so much energy to harm them. Although Shan Xing is timid but has a pure personality, he is not a grass and tree, and after five years of getting along, Li Wu has already regarded him as his own person, and he is very unhappy at the moment.
"What you say is reasonable, and you are just a messenger, so I naturally won't embarrass you. Li Wu looked at the leader and nodded.
When the leader heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but this little life was saved.
"It's just that I bother you to bring a word, no one in this room should touch it at will, otherwise the consequences are far beyond what they can bear. Li Wu said, reining in the anger on his body and closing his eyes. "Let's go. ”
The leader got the promise, and hurriedly answered the call and retreated out of the door, but a fiery shadow broke into his sight, this person was Shan Xing in the conversation!
