Ever since the falcon landed, the two people's eyes were completely attracted to it, and for some reason, the falcon looked very uneasy and kept making grunting sounds at the two of them.
"Master Hui, these two are friends of my son-in-law Jia An, so there is no need to be so nervous." The village chief reached out his hand to comfort the falcon a few times, and then the mood of "Master Hui" gradually stabilized. , and landed on the branch on the side of the house with a huff.
When the falcon flew away, the village chief first laughed and cursed: "This little bastard Jia An doesn't dare to show his face when he comes back. Are you afraid that the old man will eat him?" Then he made an invitation gesture to the two of them, "It's cold outside. It’s very serious. If you two have anything to do, please come in and talk about it.”
Lu Chun and Lin Zidai were confused for a while, thinking that they clearly didn't complain about their origins, so why did the village chief seem to know about them in advance? However, when the village chief motioned for them to enter the house, the two of them didn't think much about it. They could only nod their thanks and then walked in one after another.
The two came to the house and found that although the space was not large, the house was very neat. They saw the village chief closing the door and walking back into the house. He brought the tea set and poured tea for the two of them.
"It's true to drink alcohol to drive away the cold, but it does a lot of damage to the brain. Don't imitate that silly boy. It's better to drink a pot of tea to sober up first."
"I will follow the old man's teachings." Lin Zidai nodded and smiled when he heard the words, but when he looked at the face of the village chief, he was suddenly startled and couldn't help being surprised.
Lu Chun noticed that Lin Zidai's expression was different, so he followed his gaze and was slightly startled. When they were outside, their eyes were completely attracted by the hunting falcon. Only now did he realize that the village chief in front of him was actually a blind man!
Sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, the village chief also laughed, pointed to a few birds outside the window sill and said: "Although I have lost one pair of eyes, I still have countless pairs of eyes that are transmitting messages to me, making me see better than before." It’s clear, you two don’t have to worry about it.”
After listening to the village chief's words, Lin Zidai and Lu Chun suddenly understood. No wonder the hunter never took the right path just now and kept hiding under the trees. It turned out that he was worried about being discovered by these birds.
It seemed that the village chief had tamed these birds to deliver messages for himself, so he knew of their arrival one step ahead.
Thinking of this, Lu Chun and the two couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, they didn't mention anything about Jia Lihu, so they really couldn't blame them for this matter. If Jia Orion knew that he had been sneaking all the way and still being discovered, I wonder what his expression would be?
After saying this, the village chief took a sip of tea and continued: "I'm not one to mince words. If you have any questions, just tell me directly."
Lu Chun didn't expect that the village chief could be so easy to talk to, and he was so rude: "Old man, I'll just tell you the truth. I heard from Jia Orion that you are well-informed. I came here just to ask if you know where he is." Is there weak water?"
"It's not that he's well-informed, he's just young and wild-tempered and likes to mess around." The village chief said politely at first and then continued: "I do know a little bit about the weak water. I know the end of the Eastern Continent to the west. There is a piece of the West Sea, and there is Fenglinzhou in the West Sea. This Fenglinzhou is surrounded by a weak water. And I also heard that the Penglai Immortal Island in the East China Sea is also surrounded by 30,000 miles of weak water... I would venture to say, I wonder if you guys want to know what’s going on with this weak water?”
The more they listened, the more dumbfounded they became. Although the end of the Eastern Continent was far away, it was still within reach. But leaving aside whether this imaginary Penglai Island can be found, crossing the weak water of 30,000 miles is a fantasy in the first place.
Lu Chun was still in shock and could not recover, but Lin Zidai spoke first: "To be honest with you senior, my home is in one of the weak waters. If I want to find the weak water, I actually want to find it." The same thing."
"What?" The village chief's voice suddenly rose when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned disdainful. Then he laughed loudly and said: "Boy! Although I am blind, I am not blind! I have lived for so many years, and I have never heard of it. Where can anyone live in weak water? If you use such words to fool me, do you really think that I am confused?"
Lin Zidai felt the change in the village chief's mood and hurriedly explained: "Senior, please don't misunderstand me, I am not lying at all."
The village chief heard this and sneered: "Okay! I would like to hear your last name, and what is your family name?"
Although the village chief could not see anything, Lin Zidai did not show any disrespect and still said politely: "My surname is Lin and my name is Zidai. I come from the Qi Medical School."
"Qi Medical Sect?" The village chief stood up with a loud voice, "You said your surname is Lin, who is Lin Qingxuan?"
Lin Zidai suddenly felt confused. Ever since he left when he was young, he had never heard anyone mention the existence of the Qi Medical Sect. How come these two people had such the same reaction when they heard about the Qi Medical Sect today? What's even more strange is that they all mentioned their father's name, as if Lin Qingxuan was some kind of celebrity.
"Lin Qingxuan is my father's given name." He frowned and repeated what he had explained to Jia Orion before.
"What?" Upon hearing this, the village chief stepped forward and groped Lin Zidai's face with his trembling hands, and then suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Sir, he is actually the son of his benefactor. I have offended many times. I hope you will forgive me." !" After saying that, the village chief's body sank and he knelt on the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Zidai was already prepared this time. He had already stepped in front of the village chief and helped him up: "Senior, there is no need to do this gift. It is really embarrassing for this junior..."
The village chief sat back on the chair, but he still held Lin Zidai's hands and couldn't bear to let go. He burst into tears and said: "It looks like! It's so similar! You are indeed my benefactor's child! I just said that Qi Medical Disciple's heart is in the heart Renhou will not disappear on the Eastern Continent for no reason! It’s really…God has a vision!”
"Sir, this matter is very dangerous. You have to think carefully before making a decision! If you still insist on going after what I said next, I will definitely tell you everything without reservation!" After that, As the village chief whistled, countless birds rose into the sky and circled around the house on alert.
When Lu Chun and Lin Zidai saw the village chief's serious expression, they naturally knew that what the latter was about to say was very serious, and they sat in front of the village chief with bated breath.
"The encounter with our benefactor should start with the three-faced beast emperor statue. This three-faced beast emperor statue is the patron saint here and has been blessing the village with peace every year until something happened that year... "
Although Jia Lihu had just told them about this matter, they did not have the heart to interrupt the village chief's words, but listened patiently. Although the stories are generally similar, the village chief has experienced it first-hand after all, and the details of his statement are much more complete than those of Jia Orion.
That year, the village chief felt extremely guilty for causing a big disaster due to his laziness, so he used this as an excuse to leave the village and choose to wander outside.
He traveled alone for countless years, and the guilt in his heart gradually faded away over time. Because he had been thinking about the words of the expert, and he didn't know whether the three-faced beast emperor's shortcomings had been repaired, he made up his mind to return.
When he left, although the village was not prosperous, it was still prosperous and self-sufficient. But when he returned this time, he found that the excitement of the year was no longer there, and all that was left was desolation.
After much inquiring, he found out that since the Three-faced Beast King was damaged, the place had been frequently attacked by wild beasts. At first, the villagers could work together to resist them, but later some people really didn't want to endure such a fearful life, so they had no choice but to Choose to leave.
Perhaps they felt that this place no longer had any value, and wild beasts gradually stopped visiting here. However, the villagers were infected by a sudden malaria before they could relax for a long time, and then every family closed their homes and no longer dared to take it easy. contacts.
Although this disease did not kill people immediately, once they contracted it, they would be extremely weak and no longer have any energy to farm. As long as the remaining food from the previous year is exhausted, death will still be waiting for them, so now they are just lingering.
When the village chief heard about this, he beat his chest, but after so many years of growth, he also knew that nothing could be solved by just being upset and blaming himself, so he asked around for a solution to this malady. By chance, he heard someone talking about the existence of a "Qi Medical Sect" somewhere. It was said that they could revive human flesh and white bones, so he wanted to find this Qi Medical Sect to find a good prescription to make up for his mistakes and solve the current troubles.
It’s just that he wouldn’t know if he didn’t look for it, and he would be shocked if he looked for it. It turns out that he is not the only one who is looking for Qi Medical Sect, but there are also countless figures in the light and in the dark! There are a lot of these people, and they have been looking for Qi Medical Sect for a long time, but they found nothing.
The village chief even began to wonder whether the Qi Medical Sect only existed in mythical legends. Otherwise, how could no one have discovered its whereabouts?
Because the village chief heard from these people that they had searched all over the Eastern Continent but could not find any news about the Qi Medical Sect, so he began to doubt whether the Qi Medical Sect would be on the continent on the other side of the Daming Mountain in the East. .
When he arrived at Sanchawu after traveling for more than a month, he heard that there was a Moon Viewing Altar in the Daming Mountain guarding the only passage connecting the two continents. No one had ever been able to pass through this place.
The village chief was disheartened when he heard this, so he thought about returning to the village to die in front of the statue of the Three-Faced Beast King, hoping that using his own life to exchange for the forgiveness of the statue of the Three-Faced Beast King would save the village chief from the disease. .
As he walked, an ice surface shrouded in white mist suddenly appeared in front of him. If he wanted to get around it, he could only go over mountains and ridges for an unknown distance.
He tested the thickness of the ice in front of him and found that although the weather was getting warmer, the thickness of the ice could barely support a person's weight.
Because he was in a hurry to return to the village, he could only bravely step onto the ice and walk slowly and tremblingly amidst the creaking sounds...
The white fog became thicker as he walked forward. This white fog not only covered his eyes, but also obscured his five senses, making it impossible for him to discern the direction and could only move forward by feeling. After an unknown amount of time, he finally felt that the white fog in front of him gradually faded away, the creaking sound under his feet became clear again, and the other side of the white fog in the distance became gradually clearer...
The heaviness and uneasiness accumulated in his heart finally dissipated, and he stopped to rest for a while to regain some strength. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation without warning rising from the bottom of his heart. Suddenly he didn't dare to stay for a moment longer, and hurriedly got up and ran towards the shore faster!
