The third part, "Death-Sentient Beings", Chapter 585: Predecessors Planted Trees and Tasted the Fruits
Since the hunting falcon fell, the two of them were completely attracted by it. The hunting falcon looked very uneasy for some reason and kept making gurgling sounds at the two of them.
"Young Master, these two are friends of your son-in-law Jia An, so you don't have to be so nervous." The village chief stretched out his hand and comforted the head of the hunting falcon for a few times. The mood of the "Young Master" gradually stabilized and fell on the branches on the side of the house.
When the falcon flew away, the village chief first laughed and scolded: "Jia An, a little bastard, dare not show up when he comes back. Are you still afraid that the old man will eat him?" Then he made a gesture of invitation to the two, "The wind and cold outside are very strong. If you have any questions, please come in and talk about it."
Lu Chun and Lin Zidai were puzzled, thinking that they had no origin to ask for their request, why did the village chief seem to know about them in advance? However, when the village chief signaled them to enter the house, the two of them didn't think much about it, so they could only nod and thank them first, and then walked in one after another.
The two of them came to the house and found that although the space was not large, the visits in the house were very neat. The village chief closed the door and walked back into the house, and brought a tea set to pour tea for the two of them.
"It is true that drinking alcohol to drive away the cold, but it has a lot of harm to your brain. Don't learn from that stupid guy. Let's have a pot of tea first to sober up."
"Abide by the old man's teachings." Lin Zidai nodded and smiled when he heard this, but when he looked at the village chief's face, he was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but be surprised.
When Lu Chun found that Lin Zidai's face was strange, he looked along his gaze and was slightly stunned. When they were outside just now, their eyes were completely attracted by the hunting falcon. It was not until now that he realized that the village chief in front of him was actually a blind man!
Feeling the atmosphere was wrong, the village chief laughed and pointed to the birds outside the windowsill and said, "Although I am blind, I still have countless eyes to convey messages to me, so that I can see clearly than in the past. You don't have to worry about it."
After hearing the village chief's words, Lin Zidai and Lu Chun suddenly realized. No wonder Jia Liehuo never walked on the right path just now and had to deliberately hide under the tree. It turned out that he was worried about being discovered by these birds.
It seems that the village chief must have domesticated the birds to convey messages to him, so he knew about their arrival one step ahead of time.
Thinking of this, Lu Chun and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, they didn't mention Jia Liehuo's affairs, so they really couldn't blame them for this matter. If Jia Liehuo knew that he was sneaking all the way, he was still discovered, and he wouldn't know how he would express his expression?
After saying that, the village chief took a sip of tea and continued, "I am not a slutty person. If you have any questions, just tell me."
Lu Chun didn't expect that the village chief was so easy to talk to, so he was not polite: "Old man, then I just said it straight. I heard from Jia Liehuo that you are knowledgeable. This time I came to disturb you just to ask if you know where there is weak water?"
"It's not considered to be knowledgeable, but I'm young and wild, and I like to make trouble." The village chief said politely before continuing: "I do know a little about the matter about the weak water. I know that there is a West Sea at the end of the East Continent to the west, and there is a Fenglin Continent in the West Sea, and there is a weak water around this Fenglin Continent. And I also heard that the Penglai Immortal Island outside the East Sea is also surrounded by the weak water for 30,000 miles... Take a liberty, I wonder what the two of you are asking about this weak water?"
The more they heard it, the more stunned they were. Although the end of the Eastern Continent was far away, there was still a margin to follow. But let alone whether this fictitious Penglai Immortal Island could be found. The weak water that has been thirty thousand miles was first of all.
Lu Chun was still shocked and did not recover, but Lin Zidai spoke first: "I'm sure you don't care about it. My family is in one of the weak waters. I want to find the weak waters, but in fact I want to find something."
"What?" The village chief suddenly raised his voice when he heard this, his face suddenly became disdainful, and then laughed: "Boy! Although I am blind, I am not blind! I have lived for so many years, but I have never heard of anyone living in the weak water. Do you really think that I am confused by using such words?"
Lin Zidai felt the village chief's emotional change and hurriedly explained: "Senior, don't misunderstand, I have no false words."
The village chief sneered when he heard this: "Okay! I want to hear who your surname is and what is your home called?"
Although the village chief could not see anything, Lin Zidai did not show any disrespect and said politely: "My younger generation is named Lin Zidai, and they come from Qiyi."
"Qi Medical Sect?" The village chief stood up after hearing Yanteng's voice, "You said your surname is Lin, who is Lin Qingxuan?"
Lin Zidai suddenly felt inexplicable. He had never heard outsiders mention the existence of Qi Medical Sect since he left when he was young. Why did these two people have such the same reaction when they heard Qi Medical Sect today? What's even more strange is that they all mentioned their father's name, just like Lin Qingxuan is a celebrity.
"Lin Qingxuan is the name of his father." He frowned and repeated the words he had explained to Jia Liehuo before.
"What?" The village chief walked up to Lin Zidai with his trembling hands, and then suddenly said tremblingly: "Sir is the son of the benefactor. I have offended him so much, I hope he will forgive me!" After that, the village chief sank and kneel on the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Zidai was ready this time and had already blocked the village chief in advance and helped him up: "Senior, don't have to give this great gift, it's really a shame to the younger generation..."
The village chief sat back on the chair, but still pulled Lin Zidai's hands and couldn't help letting go, and said with tears: "Like it! It's so similar! You are indeed the child of your benefactor! I just said that the Qi Medical Sect's occupancy is kind and will not disappear on the Eastern Continent for no reason! It's really... God has eyes!"
"Sir, this matter is very dangerous. You have to think about it before making a decision! If you still insist on going after hearing what you said, I will tell you everything without reservation!" After saying that, with a whistle from the village chief, countless birds rose into the air and hovered around the house to alert.
When Lu Chun and Lin Zidai saw the village chief's face solemn, they naturally knew that what the latter was going to say was very serious, so they also sat in front of the village chief with their breath.
"When you encounter your benefactor, you have to start with the three-sided Beast King statue. These three-sided Beast King statues are the guardian gods here, and have been blessing the village every year until something happened that year..."
Although Jia Liehuo had just told them about this, they couldn't bear to interrupt the village chief's words, but listened patiently. Although the stories were generally similar, the village chief was a biological experience after all, and the details of the statement were much more complete than Jia Liehuo.
That year, the village chief was lazy and caused great tragedy to cause great misfortune, so he left the village on this grounds and chose to wander around outside.
He traveled outside alone for countless years, and the guilt in his heart gradually calmed down with time. Because he had been thinking about the words of the master, and did not know whether the incompleteness of the Three-faced Beast King had been filled, he made up his mind to return.
When he left, although the village was not rich, it was also prosperous and self-sufficient. However, when he returned this time, he found that the excitement of the past was no longer there, and all that was left was desolate.
After a lot of inquiries, he found out that since the Three-faced Beast King was damaged, he had been often 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 worried day, so they had to choose to leave.
Perhaps I felt that there was no value here anymore, and the wild beasts gradually stopped coming here. However, before the villagers relaxed for a long time, they were infected by a sudden illness. Only then did every family close their households and dared not come easily.
Although this disease did not kill people immediately, once they were infected, they would be extremely weak and they would no longer have the strength to farm. As long as the surplus food in the previous year was exhausted, death would still await them, so they are just surviving now.
After learning about this, the village chief beat his chest and stamped his feet, but after so many years of growth, he knew that he could not solve anything by just being upset and blame, so he asked around for ways to solve this disease. By chance, he heard someone say that there was a "Qi Medical Sect" somewhere, and it was said that they could kill human flesh and bones, so he thought about finding this Qi Medical Sect to find a good prescription to make up for the mistakes and solve the current troubles.
But he didn't know if he didn't look for it, and he was shocked when he looked for it. It turned out that it was not only him who was looking for Qi Medical Sect, but also countless figures in the dark! There were a lot of these people, and they had been looking for Qi Medical Sect for a long time, but they got nothing.
The village chief even began to wonder whether this Qi Medical Sect only exists in the illusory legend, otherwise no one could find its whereabouts.
Because the village chief heard from these people that they had searched all over the Eastern Continent but had not found any information about Qi Medical Sect, he began to wonder if the Qi Medical Sect would be on the continent on the other side of the Eastern Daming Mountain.
When he traveled for more than a month, he came to a Sanchawu after several twists and turns, he heard that there was a Moon Viewing Altar in the Daming Mountain guarding the only way to connect the continents on both sides, and no one could pass through it.
The village chief was discouraged when he heard this, so he thought of returning to the village to apologize for his death in front of the statue of the Three-Side Beast King, hoping to exchange his life for forgiveness from the statue of the Three-Side Beast King, which would save the village chief from illness.
As he walked, an ice surface covered with white mist suddenly appeared in front of him. If he wanted to bypass this place, he could only cross mountains and ridges and walk countless distances.
He tested the thickness of the ice surface in front of him and found that although the weather was getting warmer at this time, the thickness of the ice surface could barely support a person's weight.
Because he was in a hurry to return to the village, he could only pluck the courage to step onto the ice and slowly walked forward tremblingly with a squeaking sound...
The more he walked forward, the thicker the white fog. This white fog not only covered his eyes, but also covered his five senses, making him unable to distinguish the direction, and could only grop forward based on his feelings. After a long time, he finally felt the white fog in front of him gradually fade away, and the creaking sound under his feet became clear again, and the other side of the distant white fog became clearer...
The heaviness and anxiety that had accumulated in his heart finally dissipated, and he stopped to rest for a while and recovered some of his physical strength. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation that had no signs surged from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly did not dare to stay for a moment, and hurriedly got up and speeded up to run towards the shore!
