Chapter 17 17 The Mystery of the Curse
Teaching Tu Jiaojiao's exercises was not a temporary idea of Lin Yi, but a decision that had already been made after waking up.
If nothing else, he will bear his kindness for Tu Jiaojiao.
"This ...... Is this the exercise you got from that immortal?" Tu Jiaojiao found that her words were trembling a little, and her heart was beating violently at this moment.
In any case, she would never have thought that Lin Yi would give herself the cultivation technique that she had snatched so easily.
This kind of exercise, in the Earth Yuan Continent, anyone will go crazy to grab it.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, "This is not snatched from that guy, that guy has his own sect, and cultivating will cause trouble to you." Since you decided to follow me, this was a gift to you at that time, but if you don't have a spiritual root, then you can't practice this exercise, and it can only mean that you don't have an immortal fate. ”
Tu Jiaojiao didn't know what the so-called spiritual root was, but she knew that she must seize this opportunity.
"Let's go, let's go talk to the people in the village, let's not go. I was wondering what that so-called curse was all about. Lin Yi stood up and didn't rush to let Tu Jiaojiao cultivate.
At this time, she was too excited, and if she rashly cultivated the True Cultivation Technique, it would easily backfire and go mad.
"What curse?" Tu Jiaojiao was once again puzzled by Lin Yi's words, but she still consciously followed Lin Yi out of the house.
Seeing that the village was surrounded by endless forests, Lin Yi knew that this mountain village was actually an isolated existence, and at the same time understood why so many days had passed, and no one had found out about the immortals.
"Hello uncle. The two quickly found the old man from before.
"You've recovered?" the old man looked at the gentle young man in front of him with a look of disbelief.
When his son brought the two of them back before, he thought that this young man would not be able to live at first, so he could know how serious Lin Yi's injuries were.
However, now that only about five days have passed, he has been able to walk freely without any discomfort, which has to shock the old man.
"I'm a martial arts practitioner, and my body is much stronger than ordinary people, so I'm recovering faster. A smile appeared on Lin Yiqing's beautiful face, "By the way, uncle, can you tell me about the curse?"
"Curse, alas...... What?, how do you know about the curse?" the old man sighed subconsciously, but then he noticed that something was wrong, and looked at Lin Yi in surprise again.
"The innate sense of the martial artist is relatively sensitive, so when you were talking outside, you accidentally heard it, and I hope that the uncle will not be surprised. Lin Yi showed a slight apology, he wouldn't tell the old man that he had overheard it with his divine sense.
"Well, now that you know, I will tell you, and you may well get out of here. The old man sighed, and then told the story of the matter.
The small mountain village is Wangjia Village, when the Diyuan Continent has not yet been unified, Qin Wuguo conquered the world, the war was raging, the ancestors of Wangjia Village fled to this floating jade mountain with their wives and children to take refuge in seclusion in order to avoid the disaster. Later, the village lived here for generations, did not communicate with outsiders, and lived a self-sufficient life of male farmers and female weavers.
However, one day just a few years ago, several domestic animals suddenly disappeared in Wangjia Village. At first, everyone didn't think about it, but every once in a while, domestic animals went missing, which attracted everyone's attention.
It's just that no matter how careful and attentive everyone is, they still can't prevent the disappearance of the domestic animals.
Moreover, in the second year, the missing animals have changed from domestic animals to people, and at the end of each month, three or two teenagers will disappear inexplicably.
The crowd gradually became frightened, thinking that this was a curse from the heavens, because Wangjia Village had safely escaped the disaster, which caused the dissatisfaction of the unjust souls who died in the war, so they cursed them Wangjia Village to let them die completely.
"Then why don't you leave here?" Tu Jiaojiao seemed to be a little scared, and couldn't help but approach Lin Yi and gently tug at Lin Yi's sleeve.
"Our ancestors are buried here, and as descendants, how can we leave our ancestors behind?" said the old man with a sad face.
"Zi is silent, strange and confused. I want to stay, and I hope my uncle will forgive me. Lin Yi said with a smile.
The people in this mountain village saved themselves, so Lin Yi also planned to help in order to repay the other party's kindness. In his opinion, this should be the work of the mountain spirits, and with his current strength in the Golden Body Realm, there is not much problem in dealing with ordinary spirits.
The most important thing is that Lin Yi still has eight talismans in his hand, which is his biggest hole card.
Of course, if that spirit was too powerful and far beyond his ability to deal with, Lin Yi would definitely protect himself, and he didn't want to lose his life by helping others.
Now Lin Yi has taken revenge, so he has no worries in his heart and can do what he wants.
As the son of the head of the Lin family, Lin Yi has lived in various constraints since he was a child, so he has wanted to control his own destiny since he was a child, not to be swayed by others, and to live a carefree and unrestrained life.
That's how he doesn't put himself in danger by helping others.
"You ...... Alas, I have already said what I should say, and since you do not listen to counsel, let it be you. If you can really break the curse, my Wang family village will remember your kindness. The old man sighed and said slowly.
He didn't think that the two young men would be able to solve the curse.
Lin Yi and Tu Jiaojiao asked the old man to take them to visit various houses in the village and inquire about the curse.
He wanted to get some information through the dictation of more people, but after visiting almost the entire village, he had no other information except that the windows would break when a curse came.
"Youkai, don't eat me, don't eat me, my meat is very dirty, it's not delicious......"
Just as Lin Yi was about to go back to rest, he suddenly saw a young man who looked like a beggar and was about eleven or twelve years old squatting there in the corner outside a house, muttering to himself, as if he was frightened.
"Who is this ......?" Lin Yi looked at the man suspiciously, in his opinion, Wangjia Village should be a collective, living together like a family, how could there be beggars?
"Alas, his name is Wang Ergou, and a few years ago, his brother and mother disappeared because of the curse. Although he narrowly escaped the catastrophe, after that day, he was completely insane and spouted all day long. The old man glanced at Wang Ergou, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Lin Yi stepped forward, squatted down in front of Wang Ergou, and said softly, "Ergou, can you tell me what that monster looks like?"
As if he hadn't heard Lin Yi's words, Wang Ergou continued his crazy words: "Monster, don't eat me, my meat is very dirty, it's not delicious......"
"Ergou, tell me what the monster looks like, and I'll help you kill that monster and avenge your mother and brother, okay?"
Wang Ergou was finally attracted by Lin Yi's words, and raised his head to look at Lin Yi, "The monster is very powerful, if you can't beat it, it will eat people." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm also very powerful, I will kill youkai. You tell me what a yokai looks like. Lin Yi said patiently.
"That monster is very big, with a body as huge as a tiger, but a head like a monkey, and a cow's tail, and it can pick up two or three people in one bite, very powerful, very terrifying ......"
From Wang Ergou's mouth, Lin Yi knew the shape of the spirit, but he couldn't guess which kind of spirit it was, after all, he didn't know many spirits.
However, the monster that Wang Ergou said is too peculiar, with an oxtail, a body like a tiger, and a head like a monkey, and this kind of monster is afraid that no one knows about it.
If it weren't for the fact that he was eighty percent sure that this so-called curse was made by the spirits, he was afraid that he wouldn't believe that Wang Ergou's words were true, and thought it was his crazy words.
"Ergou is already crazy, so he can't ask anything. When the old man heard the monster figure that Wang Ergou said, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and said to Lin Yi who came over.
Lin Yi touched his nose, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but said goodbye to the old man and returned to his house with Tu Jiaojiao.
