Chapter 3, Mochizuki Village
Shu Yi followed the hunters and rode for more than half an hour. On the way, he learned that the leader of the hunters was named Wu Niu. Because he was tall and arrogant, everyone called him Man Niu.
Wu Niu not only has brute strength and can kill tigers and leopards with his bare hands, but he is also a marksman and is the best hunter in Wangyue Village.
Soon, some green vegetation appeared in front of us, and as the road progressed, we gradually saw some small animals.
Finally, it is no longer a dead desert scene. There is a little life here, and the air has become much cooler.
"Young hero, please look, at the foot of the mountain ahead is our village." Man Niu raised his hand and pointed forward.
Shu Yi turned his head and looked around, and saw a vague area of mountains and hills in front of him. The mountains were overlapping and the shadows of the trees were whirling. Under the starry sky, they looked particularly hazy.
After a while, a quiet small village appeared in front of him.
I saw a sparse stilted building on the mountain col, built on the mountain around a small lake, with dim lights and smoke rising from the cooking pots.
In the desert, water is very precious, and where there is water, people will take root.
Woof woof woof----
In the quiet mountain village, there was a sudden sound of dog barking. When the people in the village heard the noise, they all raised their heads and looked up.
Soon, several women and a group of children came out and saw that the hunting team had brought back several wild animals. They were all very happy. The villagers had been eating coarse grains for half a month and could finally taste some meat.
"Shu Shaoxia, please wait here for a moment. If you have a visitor, you should inform the village chief."
After Man Niu finished speaking, he strode into the village.
The remaining hunters walked towards their relatives, chattering to them, and looking at Shu Yi from time to time.
They must have talked about the Desert of Death, which caused waves of exclamations.
Shu Yi was also looking at these villagers. From their shabby clothes and thin figures, it was not difficult to see that these villagers lived a relatively poor and simple life.
A few bold children walked towards Shu Yi curiously, staring at him up and down as if looking at a monster.
Shu Yi smiled slightly, and like a magic trick, he took out a few bunches of candied haws and gave them to them one by one.
Candied haws on a stick is a long-term necessity in the Swordsman player's bag. Candied haws on a stick is very cheap and can be purchased from merchants or trading houses.
Every year during the Children's Day event, there is a gift of Uncle Dancha's candied haws boxes. With the box, players can make their own candied haws. A dozen of one hundred candied haws will not take up much space in the bag.
Feeding it to relatives and friends can increase their goodwill and fun. Some candied haws can also add a little buff to their attributes.
Shu Yi always kept hundreds of candied haws in her bag, which came in handy now.
When he came to this world, he discovered many strange things. For example, the food placed in the space ring was eternal and would never go bad as long as it was not taken out.
This group of children in the village may have never eaten such delicious food as candied haws. After tasting the sweetness, they were all happy and had smiles on their faces.
It seems that no matter in the past or present life, all children are the same, they can't put down the delicious candied haws.
Not long after, Man Niu came out and said, "Young hero, our village chief asks you to come over for a while."
"good."
Shu Yi followed Man Niu and came to a simple and elegant stilted building under the attention of everyone.
I saw an old man with white hair and gray clothes standing in front of the door waiting.
"Village chief, I'm bringing Shu Shaoxia here."
The old man in gray clothes nodded slightly and waved his hand, telling the bull to retreat.
Shu Yi and the village chief didn't say anything, they looked at each other.
The village chief was thin and well-dressed. He held a silver-white dragon-headed scepter in his hand. He exuded a special aura and his eyes shone with wisdom.
Shu Yi had a vague feeling that this old village chief was not simple, he might be a hidden master.
"Young man, you are finally here."
The village chief said with relief and raised his hand to guide Shu Yi into the house.
Finally here? What does this mean? Does this old man know something?
With doubts and confusion, I came to the simple living room.
Shu Yi politely cupped his hands and said, "Sorry for intruding."
"No, no, no, there is no need to disturb you. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
A rare smile appeared on the village chief's wrinkled old face, and he added: "In other words, our declining family has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Wait for me? What do you mean by this?"
Shu Yi was quite surprised. Could it be that this old man knew my origins.
The village chief said: "You came out of the Desert of Death, right?"
"Yes, that's right!" Shu Yi nodded.
"You have practiced Yin Han Kung Fu, and you have also practiced Chi Yang Kung Fu, right or wrong?" the old man said firmly.
Yin-cold exercises? Red-yang exercises?
Shu Yi frowned, I have never practiced any skills, so I was a little confused for a moment.
Oh! Yes, yes, my current identity is a disciple of the Ming Cult, and I am no longer the ordinary person in reality.
What Mingjiao practices is [Shadow Burning Holy Technique], which is a magical yin and yang technique. The key to the technique is - absorb the essence of the sun spirit and moon spirit, absorb the true energy of extreme cold and heat, and use it to strengthen yourself.
, in order to achieve the effect of yin and yang cooperating and being invulnerable to water and fire.
Speaking of which, the Holy Tomb Mountain of the Mingjiao General Altar is also in a large desert. The temperature difference between day and night is huge. During the day, you can bake raw meat and steam eggs on the rocks, but at night, the dripping water turns into ice, which can freeze a person in a moment.
Therefore, Mingjiao martial arts are unique, combining yin and yang, interweaving ice and fire. The primary martial arts include: Red Sun Wheel, Nether Moon Wheel, Fiery Slash, Silver Moon Slash...
From this point of view, the old village chief has great insights and what he said is quite reasonable.
"You really have a sharp eye! You can even see the skills I practice at a glance, I admire you!" Shu Yi sighed sincerely.
"Haha! It must be my fiery eyes."
The village chief shook his head and smiled, whisking his beard and saying: "Because I have long known that the Death Desert is unusual. Fire poison breaks out during the day and cold poison rages at night. Only those who have practiced Yin and Yang Kung Fu at the same time can get out of the Death Desert."
"Oh! That's it."
Shu Yi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had been wandering around the Desert of Death for a few days. Apart from being curious about the blood-red color of the desert, which was different from the others, he didn't think there was anything special about it.
He never thought that he could come out alive because of his own skills.
"My little friend has unique skills at a young age, and his future is formidable!" The village chief praised him sincerely, and then said: "I just don't know where my little friend is from and where he learned from. Can you tell me?"
"That's right! I come from the faraway country of the Tang Dynasty, and I am a disciple of the Ming Cult in the Western Regions there. Our leader is Lu Weilou, and my master is Lu Kabi, who is known as the 'Ye Emperor'."
Speaking of these two game characters from Mingjiao, there are quite a lot of fans.
Lu Weilou is known as the most handsome old man in swordsmanship. Lukabi is also famous as a handsome man. He is entangled with the great beauty Yu Rui of Chunyang Palace. Lukabi is also the king of assassins and is named by people in the world.
As the 'Night Emperor'.
Shu Yi thought to himself that since he was traveling as a game character, he would use the background of the game to deal with things in the future. Otherwise, many things would not make sense and he would not know how to explain them.
Anyway, this old man doesn't know where Datang is, and he doesn't know even if he says it.
Tang Dynasty? Mingjiao?
The village chief frowned and thought secretly for a long time. He even broke several strands of his beard, but he still had no clue.
"Alas! I have lived for decades and have never heard of these things. It seems that I am ignorant."
Shu Yi snickered secretly, you just don't know, he didn't want to continue this topic, lest the secret be revealed.
"Village Chief, I am not a local, and I am relatively unfamiliar with everything here. I heard on the road that no one has walked out of the Desert of Death for thousands of years. Isn't there anyone else here who has practiced these two techniques?"
"There is one extreme yang and one extreme yin. They are naturally repellent and incompatible. It is not easy to integrate these two elements. Over the past thousands of years, a few wizards have occasionally appeared, but after those people entered the desert of death, they never came out again.
"The village chief shook his head and smiled bitterly.
