Outside, the winter wind was blowing coldly. There was a big hole on the top of the house, and it looked like it had been eroded by wind and rain.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Luoxi couldn't help but ask:
"Excuse me, why do you live here? If you join the city, you can get more shelter, right?"
After all, this is a village outside the wilderness. Naturally, it is not as developed as the city. Why should we settle here?
The woman shook her head helplessly, looked at the damaged roof, and murmured:
"No, although the city is nice, it is full of scheming and deceit. We just want to be in the fields, away from the hustle and bustle..."
After saying this, she looked at Li Meng again and said slowly:
"With the protection of Xuanzong, there is no need to worry about the invasion of monsters here. Thanks to you, I have been able to enjoy a good life... However, my old man contracted a bad disease today, and I am afraid he will not die soon..."
....”
Having said this, the woman looked at the dilapidated bed beside her, on which lay a tall middle-aged man. Although he looked weak at this moment, one could see from his brows that he was also a strong man before the serious illness.
man.
No wonder the house was surrounded by the aura of death. Looking at his worsening illness, Xiang Luoxi looked a little complicated.
Among the Xiang clan who were isolated from the outside world, disease was the most terrifying thing.
It seems to be the same here.
Walking up to him, Xiang Luoxi looked serious. There was no internal energy fluctuation in this person's body. If he had internal energy to protect his body, he would not be overwhelmed by the disease.
Suddenly, I thought that there seemed to be many elixirs in my Sifang Yuzhong, many of which could be taken by ordinary people. Although I didn't know what kind of disease he suffered from, wasn't the function of these elixirs to increase physical strength?
No one wants to see a person lose his soul like this, and Xiang Luoxi even saw the shadow of the small mountain village in it.
Xiang Luoxi closed his eyes, his perception entered the four directions, and he quickly found the suitable elixir.
Looking at Li Meng, the latter immediately knew what Xiang Luoxi meant and stepped forward.
"This is a healing pill. Although I don't know if it can cure the disease, it can greatly increase his physical strength. I can use my inner strength to help him recuperate, and maybe he can be cured..."
Hearing this, the woman knelt down and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She cried humbly:
"Living gods! You are living gods! If you can save my old man's life, we can work as cows or horses for Xuanzong in the future!"
Li Meng quickly helped her up and said:
"It doesn't matter, these are things that Xuanzong should do. You are living under Xuanzong Mountain, and your safety is naturally closely related to Xuanzong..."
After saying that, Li Meng looked at Xiang Luoxi, who nodded, stepped forward, and put the healing pill into the man's mouth.
He was too weak to speak, but he could see gratitude in his eyes.
Gently lifting the man's body up with one hand, Xiang Luoxi snapped his fingers, and the power of the surrounding heaven and earth gathered together to support the man's body.
Then Xiang Luoxi put a hand behind the man and closed his eyes.
The woman and Li Meng both stood aside nervously, fearing that they would affect Xiang Luoxi.
Under the dim light, Li Meng discovered another feeling that Xiang Luoxi brought to her.
That is peace of mind.
After taking the Healing Pill, the man suddenly began to cough violently, and red blood foam flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Xiang Luoxi said lightly:
"It's okay, it's normal."
"His body is absorbing the power of the Healing Pill, and the diseased parts of his body are gradually healing. The blood he spits out is also the source of his pain...
"
Although he didn't know the healing technique, Xiang Luoxi could sense what kind of power in this man's body could strengthen his body.
The diseased area is gradually recovering. This healing elixir is indeed wonderful!
Time passed by minute by second, and the wind and snow outside the house poured into the house along the damaged roof. Li Meng stepped forward and wiped the snow from Xiang Luoxi's shoulders.
At this time, Xiang Luoxi's forehead was already covered with sweat. It was not difficult to heal someone's wounds. What was difficult was to control his own strength.
This man only has the body of an ordinary person. Once Xiang Luoxi uses unbalanced force, it will inevitably hurt him. What's more, in his current state, he will definitely not be able to withstand such a powerful medicine.
Therefore, recovery can only rely on gradual steps to help him catalyze the power of the medicine little by little.
Although his heart was extremely tired, Xiang Luoxi had a belief in his heart, and this belief was merging with his Taoist heart...
Three hours later...
When the man absorbed the last trace of the medicine, Xiang Luoxi breathed a long sigh of relief, then retracted his right hand and used his senses to explore the surroundings. The surging death energy also dissipated.
Although he only saved an ordinary person, Xiang Luoxi felt a full sense of accomplishment in his heart. This is the benefit of having power.
Later, Xiang Luoxi repaired the roof for them. The man had just recovered from a serious illness and had already gone to sleep.
"With just a few days of rest, I believe he will be able to fully recover..."
Xiang Luoxi said with a smile.
The woman's eyes were filled with only gratitude. After sending the two of them out, she sighed softly and said:
"Sigh... If my son were still alive, we wouldn't be living in such a mess. Counting his age, he should be seventeen or eighteen, almost the same as you..."
The woman said to Xiang Luoxi that when she saw him, she thought of her son.
"Then where did he go? If he has good talent, he can still try to become a disciple of Xuanzong!"
Li Meng said softly.
As soon as she said this, the woman kept moaning and then said:
"I also said so. Who knew that my boy was deceived into joining another force, which seems to be called Ten Thousand Beast Mountain? How can he be safe when he is dealing with monsters all day long?"
Xiang Luoxi frowned when he mentioned the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. He had never heard of this force.
"Ten Thousand Beast Mountain? I seem to have never heard of it..."
Li Meng poked Xiang Luoxi's shoulder and said slowly:
"I have heard from my master that this Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts is a peak seventy miles north of the Xuanzong Mountains. There are many monsters in it, but most of them are weak monsters."
"Later, some people established the mountain as king and raised those monsters in captivity. Since then, they have established the power of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. However, they are not even comparable to the third-rate power. Auntie, how could your son choose to join such a power?
Woolen cloth?"
Li Meng changed the topic and asked.
Here, after all, we are at the foot of Xuanzong Mountain. If you are really talented, wouldn't Xuanzong be the first choice? Even if you unfortunately lose the election, you can still find a second-rate or third-rate force to join. Who will win the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?
The woman smiled bitterly and said:
"Sigh... My boy doesn't know this. He just heard that joining the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will give us one hundred gold coins every month, so..."
She didn't say the next words, but Xiang Luoxi already knew the reason.
Xiang Luoxi was actually a little angry about this.
The reason why these people chose to build villages around Xuanzong was because of Xuanzong's prestige, and the latter naturally had to bear the responsibility for the lives of these people.
In this world of spiritual practice, every mortal is struggling to survive.
And those who possess strength and have power behind them are those who are in a superior position.
Li Meng and Xiang Luoxi looked at each other, with strange looks in each other's eyes.
"How about...I go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and bring your son back?"
Xiang Luoxi said softly, not forgetting to add:
"I just need to hide my identity, that's enough..."
After all, putting pressure on Ten Thousand Beast Mountain as a disciple of Xuanzong is not a good choice, as it will affect Xuanzong's prestige.
And if I had brought him out without anyone noticing, wouldn't everything be fine?
No matter whether he finally returns home or becomes a disciple of Xuanzong, this Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will not dare to say anything.
After all, this is the realm of Xuanzong. Looking at the entire wilderness, who dares to act recklessly here?
After hearing Xiang Luoxi's words, the woman stood there blankly and murmured:
"is this real?"
She looked particularly humble and whispered:
"You have already helped me a lot, how dare I trouble you so much..."
Xiang Luoxi waved his hand, laughed and said:
"Hahaha... What a big deal this is. If Ten Thousand Beast Mountain dares to come to my Xuanzong realm to recruit disciples, doesn't that mean that Xuanzong doesn't take it seriously? I'll go back as soon as possible..."
After saying that, Xiang Luoxi looked at Li Meng and said softly:
"Meng'er, just wait here. The atmosphere here is more suitable for practice than in the sect..."
There were other meanings in the words. Li Meng also wanted to go with Xiang Luoxi, but after hearing these words, he gave up this idea.
In this operation, you must hide your identity as much as possible. After all, you are going to snatch people from other forces. It will be more convenient if there is only one person.
"Well... go and come back quickly."
After asking her for the general location of Wanshou Mountain, Xiang Luoxi set off.
In the shocked eyes of the woman, huge wings appeared behind Xiang Luoxi, and then ascended into the sky.
Is this really something a human can do?
In the snow, Xiang Luoxi was anxious in mid-air, and the voice of the sky-covering bird came in his mind:
"Unexpectedly, you are quite kind-hearted."
"snort!"
"Human beings are not the same as monsters. People have emotions..."
Xiang Luoxi said slowly.
After hearing this, Tianque was not happy and retorted:
"What about the monsters? What you are talking about is just monsters with low IQs. They are just useless people who only know how to eat and drink all day long. I think back then, I was also the monster god revered by thousands of people!"
"Monster God? Still respected by thousands of people?"
Xiang Luoxi was surprised, and then said slowly:
"You'd better stop bragging. How can a monster be respected by people? As soon as you show up, won't you be able to scare away a bunch of people?"
The sky-covering bird sneered and said:
"Huh... whatever you want to say, back then, I was also a monster protecting a land and water. Don't compare me with those simple-minded monsters. I used to have temples and incense, but I was looked down upon by others.
I'm just used to it..."
Xiang Luoxi frowned when he heard the sky-covering bird's serious voice. It didn't sound like he was lying.
"How could those who claim to be on the right path know how much the monsters have to pay in order to find immortality! I have also stepped on...that path!"
The sky-covering bird's words sounded like a sigh or a lawsuit against the past, but Xiang Luoxi didn't know what it had experienced in the past.
"By the way, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain you are going to, if I remember correctly, was once a dangerous mountain range filled with monsters and beasts. It was just that when I was sealed, I don't know what happened, and it gradually declined...
