While the village chief was telling them old stories, the birds outside the window would often chirp from time to time. At this moment, the village chief would whistle softly, as if he was communicating with the birds, which surprised Lu Chun and Lin Zidai who were watching.
This Xinghuo Sect is not a person who just gives up. How could he give up looking for the Qi Medical Sect just because of a little setback. Although the village chief thought that they were frightened by the three-faced beast emperor statue and did not come to trouble them again, Lin Zidai knew the reason. After all, in his memory, these guys had always caused trouble for Qi Medical Sect.
Lin Zidai roughly calculated the time and realized that the Xinghuo Sect found the village chief after the incident at the Qi Medical Sect. Therefore, they probably thought that the disappearance of the Qi Medical Sect was a way to hide themselves, so they continued to do such dirty things.
Thinking of this, Lin Zidai couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, cleverness can lead to mistakes. How could the Xinghuo Sect know that the Qi Medical Sect disappeared in the thunder and lightning because it was punished by heaven? And what they have done over the years can be said to be against the laws of heaven, so they will be burned until they are destroyed and can no longer cause trouble.
But now he is a little curious about what the Xinghuo Sect member saw to have such a big reaction. He even gave up the task assigned to him, and asked: "Senior, I heard Brother Jia An say something about the Three Faces before. Regarding the matter of the Beast King, I am really curious about what is so magical about this thing that it can actually scare away the Xinghuo Sect members?"
"Oh, what did he say to sir?" The village chief was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't answer directly, but asked inexplicably.
"He was talking to us about returning the three-faced beast head statue." Lin Zidai thought for a while and replied calmly.
"Didn't he say anything else?" The village chief was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked again.
"Others? I wonder what senior means..." Lin Zidai was very puzzled.
"For example...the old man's daughter." The village chief sighed.
"I have already heard about this from Brother Jia...I'm sorry." Lin Zidai had to mention the village chief's sadness, and he quickly apologized, but he was really puzzled. He was clearly asking about the three-faced beast emperor statue. This Why did the village chief mention his daughter?
"Haha... Birth, old age, illness and death are just normal in the world. I have looked away from them decades ago. Sir, there is no need to be polite." The village chief waved his hands indifferently, and then continued: "It is true that the little girl died of illness, but in fact she was not the same as that person. The three-faced beast emperor statue is inseparable."
"Oh?" Lu Chun, who was originally drowsy, became interested after hearing this, and his previous drowsiness disappeared.
"Ever since the Starfire Sect was scared away by the statue of the Three-Faced Beast Emperor, it has never come to seek trouble again, and the village has returned to its former peace... Then a few years passed like this, and that is what happened when the little bastard returned the statue of the Three-Faced Beast Head. Well, since you already know it, I won’t elaborate further.”
"The incompleteness of the three-faced beast emperor statue has always been a worry for me. That day, when I understood my concern, I began to think about my daughter's life-long events."
"My daughter was already twenty-eight years old at that time and had already reached the age of marriage. However, she insisted on staying at home to take care of the old man and refused to marry outside. The old man really had no choice! Now a son-in-law finally came to my door. I How could I miss it like this? Especially when I heard that this little bastard was once my little girl's savior, I felt that it was a perfect match from heaven, so I brought the two of them together."
"Although the old man is blind, his heart is bright, and he can feel the deep love in the words of the young couple. Without worries, the old man thought he could finally enjoy his old age! But he didn't expect... alas..." At this point Here, the village chief also sighed repeatedly.
"Later, the little bastard and the little girl gave birth to three children. These three little guys were very cute and cute, and they gradually grew up as time went by."
"Because the village respects the statue of the Three-faced Beast Emperor very much and is afraid that it will be damaged again, every household strictly prohibits children from playing around the ruined temple. But these three little guys are at the age of being playful, how can they listen to this, and finally Cause trouble in one day!”
"It rained suddenly that day, and the little guys had nowhere to hide from the rain. They had no choice but to hide in the ruined temple with the statue of the Three-Faced Beast Emperor. Although they returned home in time, I felt the feeling of the Three-Faced Beast Emperor in them. The smell of the statue! Especially when I went to the ruined temple later, I found that I could no longer feel the presence of the three-faced beast emperor statue..."
"Sure enough, just a few days later, these little guys suddenly became aggressive and even started to eat the hares brought back by the little bastard! Fortunately, an expert suddenly stopped them and prevented them from committing the crime. Big mistake!"
"Because these little guys were backlashed by the remnant soul of the three-faced beast king, if they cannot completely control their beast nature, they will definitely cause disaster. For the safety of the villagers and themselves, the master took them away from the village."
"I traveled around the wilderness when I was young and gained a lot of knowledge. The little bastard was a hunter when I was young and was full of murderous intent, so neither of us was affected much. But the little girl is a weak woman after all, and she was affected by the evil spirit of the three-faced beast emperor's remnant soul. After the conflict, he passed away not long after."
"This little bastard always thought that he was guilty of not taking good care of him, so he has kept himself closed for so many years and refused to meet anyone."
Lin Zidai and Lu Chun looked at each other. They didn't expect that the matter would be so complicated. At first, when they heard about the three-faced beast emperor statue, they had the urge to go and see it. However, since the village chief said that the aura of the three-faced beast emperor statue had dissipated, they no longer had the intention to go and check it out. .
The village chief hadn't spoken so much for a long time, and he was out of breath for a while. He took a breath and then said apologetically: "As he gets older, he likes to talk to himself, and he almost forgets it. The reason for your visit... I wonder what you have thought about it, have you made a decision?"
Nowadays, Lu Chun's energy is exhausted, and the prescription alone cannot last long, so Lin Zidai must find the source of Zhengqi this time. Moreover, the Spark Gate mentioned by the village chief has long since disappeared and can no longer pose a threat, so it is naturally nothing to worry about.
"Since I said that I want to go back to Qi Medical Sect, I must have my own support, senior, just don't worry."
"Sir is the descendant of my benefactor, and his strength is naturally otherworldly. It seems that he is too old and worried..." The village chief said and stood up, taking the inconspicuous oil lamp in the corner.
Lu Chun couldn't help but feel dumb for a while when he saw the oil lamp, thinking that no wonder the old guy had reacted so violently just now. It seemed that this inconspicuous thing should be the oil lamp that Lin Zidai's father, Lin Qingxun, helped him leave Qi Medical School.
The village chief turned the dark oil lamp around his body a few times to wipe away the dust, and then handed it to Lin Zidai respectfully: "Sir, it was my benefactor who gave this oil lamp to me. Now I will return it." It’s given to you, and it can be regarded as returning to its original owner… Please be careful, sir.”
Lin Zidai responded and stretched out his hands to take the oil lamp. Although this thing looks inconspicuous, it is bitingly cold and slightly heavy when you hold it, which is really surprising.
He looked carefully with the help of the light outside and found that this oil lamp was somewhat different from ordinary oil lamps.
The general structure of oil lamps consists of an upper plate and a lower base, connected by columns in the middle. However, the base of the oil lamp in his hand was not a pillar, but a "jade pot" with a thin neck and a big belly. Especially at the opening of the jade pot, an eight-petaled lotus flower suddenly fell. This lotus flower is cleverly used as the lamp plate of the oil lamp, so that the three pillars and the pillar base are connected into one. It is said to be an oil lamp, but it is more like a handicraft.
Lin Zidai shook the oil lamp gently and suddenly understood. No wonder he felt that the oil lamp was so heavy. It turned out that the jade pot was filled with some kind of liquid, which would slowly tremble as he shook it. It was precisely because of the presence of the things in the jade pot that it made him feel extremely cold. cold.
He originally wanted to pour out some of the contents to see what was so magical about it. It's just that the structure of this oil lamp is very clever. No matter how he pours it, not a drop of the liquid can be poured out.
"Old man, why doesn't your oil lamp have a twister?" Lu Chun glanced at the side and suddenly interjected.
The village chief also shook his head when he heard this: "Well... I don't know. Ever since I took over the oil lamp from my benefactor, it has kept its original appearance. Later, the old man also thought about lighting an oil lamp and returning to Qi Medical Sect to express his gratitude. , who knew that I could not light the oil lamp by any means, so I had no choice but to give up..."
After saying that, he turned towards Lin Zidai and said, "But I believe this gentleman will definitely find a way!"
Lin Zidai nodded when he heard this and put away the oil lamp: "I wonder if senior still remembers the specific direction of the weak water?"
"Remember! Of course I remember! Over the years, I have been thinking about it day and night, and I never dare to forget it! But the route to get there is very complicated. It's a pity that I can't show you the way in my current situation... I'm ashamed! I'm ashamed! "
"Senior, there is no need to blame yourself. If it is convenient, please describe the general route to us. With your guidance, we should be able to find the general direction of the weak water."
The village chief shook his head: "The situation there is difficult to describe with words alone, and I don't know what the situation has become after so many years, but... Sir, please come with me!"
Having said this, the village chief opened the door and walked out, whistled in the sky, and then saw a black spot on the horizon getting bigger and bigger, and finally landed on the windlass of the well in front of the village chief's house with a gust of wind. It was clearly the hunting falcon from before.
As soon as the hunting falcon landed, it made several hoarse calls to the village chief. The village chief stepped forward and stroked the body of the hunting falcon a few times, and then coldly snorted: "Master Hui, go and help me get that falcon." Bring the little bastard and let him take the two distinguished guests through to the Wall of Return!"
Hearing this, Lin Zidai and Lu Chun couldn't help but look at each other. They clearly remembered that they had not said this word, and they felt suspicious in their hearts.
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the falcon turned into a gust of brown wind, flew into the distance with a whirring sound, and disappeared on the top of the mountain where they had just arrived.
"Sir, please forgive me for not being able to send you far away. Please wait for a moment on the road!" After the village chief finished giving the instructions, he said goodbye to the two of them, then turned around and returned to the house...
