In the inn, after some rest, Ding Sheng and the other four people left.
Before traveling, they must first arrange their money, food and clothing, so they went to a tailor shop to change into new clothes for the elderly and children before leaving Nancheng.
Buddha relies on gold clothing, and people rely on clothes. This is true. After the girl Qier put on a clean set of clothes, she realized that she was actually very beautiful, with a subtle temperament, and the demeanor of everyone's daughter, which made Ding Sheng
He couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind, but before he could ask, the old man seemed to have seen the clues and spoke first.
The group of people talked while walking, and then Ding Sheng and Song Feng learned about the origins of these two people.
It turns out that this old man is a hunter from a nearby village. There are four people in his family. In addition to him, there is a wife and two other brothers, but they have no descendants. I originally thought that there would be no incense in this life, but I didn't.
It turns out that the old man found this girl when he went hunting in the mountains.
The girl was just one month old at that time. The old man saw her pity and was worried about being eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, so he brought her back and adopted her as his granddaughter.
The whole family was very happy to have a girl as their successor. But not long after, a disaster struck. Someone told the story about the old man adopting the girl, which attracted a group of people to pursue him. The old man and his family
The four members of the family were killed, and only he and the girl escaped. The old man almost died, but accidentally fell off the southern cliff, and then fled all the way to Nancheng.
After arriving in Nancheng, the pursuit continued, just for the unnecessary Martial Gods Catalog. The old man didn't know anything about the Martial Gods Catalog, so he was killed for no reason. His family was destroyed. If Ding Sheng hadn't appeared, he would have been dead on the street by now.
From the old man's description, Ding Sheng knew that the girl's background was probably not simple, otherwise the other party would not have asked for some Martial God catalog. However, Ding Sheng was only curious about this, so he did not ask the girl.
Walking along the way, the four of them soon walked out of the boundaries of Nancheng and arrived at a crossroads. From here, the south was the direction to Jingzhou Tianyu Mountain, and the west was the direction to the Song family.
"Brother Ding, I think we will say goodbye here. If you have time, you might as well come to our Song family to sit down. The young master misses you very much." Song Feng smiled slightly and cupped his fists.
"Yeah, definitely." Ding Sheng also cupped his fists and said with a smile.
"Come on, Qier, quickly kowtow to your benefactor." The old man looked at Ding Sheng with a grateful expression, pulled the girl over and said.
The girl obeyed and kowtowed to Ding Sheng. After she stood up, her face was full of admiration. She stared at Ding Sheng, but suddenly said: "Brother Ding, Qier must marry you when she grows up.
!”
After saying that, the girl's shy little face blushed slightly, and then she hid behind the old man, not daring to look at Ding Sheng again.
When the others heard this, they burst into laughter. Ding Sheng also shook his head helplessly, walked up and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Qier, when you go to the Song family in the future, you must do it when you see Brother Song."
Be obedient, do you understand? Also, remember to take good care of grandpa. If you have time, my brother will come to see you."
"Well, I will definitely listen to Brother Ding. I will do whatever Brother Ding asks me to do." Qier looked at Ding Sheng with a firm face, and the smile of the person in front of her was deeply engraved in her bright eyes that shone like stars.
.
Ding Sheng smiled and nodded, then said goodbye to everyone one by one again, and embarked on the journey to Tianyu Mountain.
After three days of traveling quickly, Ding Sheng entered the territory of Shuitou Town, and Tianyu Mountain was located fifteen miles south of Shuitou Town.
Shuitou Town is an inconspicuous town in Jingzhou, Xia Yu Kingdom. It is smaller than Nuyan Town, but at this time, the town is full of adventurers and businessmen from all directions.
Seeing this, Ding Sheng was also slightly happy in his heart. It is said that there is no profit and no early morning. To be able to bring so many people here, something big must have happened. I am afraid that what Song Feng heard is probably true.
Thinking of this, Ding Sheng followed the crowd into the town.
Entering the town, Ding Sheng found one of the most popular taverns.
As soon as he entered the tavern, Ding Sheng spent some money to find a seat by the window and sat down. After ordering a few side dishes, he began to pay attention to the conversations of those in the tavern.
At this time, the sun was only three o'clock in the sky, which was a good time for some people to have a drink. The atmosphere in the tavern was very lively, with groups of people gathering together and discussing things.
"Oh, for some reason in the past two days, all the people in Pingyang Village have disappeared. Do you think it's strange or not?"
"What's the matter? It was burned down by a fire overnight. If it were you, you would have run away..."
"You pig head, you won't build the village again after it's burned down? Are you going to move the place where your ancestors have lived for generations?"
"Well, Ergouzi is right, isn't there something fishy about it?"
"It's a bit strange. I heard that after the village was burned down, no one could live there anymore. The water in the wells was burned dry. Even after digging almost ten feet deep, there was not even a drop of water. How can people live without water?
"
"Furthermore, look at Shuitou Town now. There are martial arts practitioners everywhere. Are they here for fun? I don't think this is easy..."
As Ding Sheng listened, he also thought about it in his mind. The purple fire itself is not an ordinary fire. It can burn up all the water in a deep well. It is naturally not simple. Maybe it has something to do with the original fire.
Just as I was thinking about it, a group of people at the other end also started talking.
"If you don't make a profit, you won't start early. Who doesn't know this truth? Nowadays, the whole Shuitou Town is in an uproar. According to those people, it seems that a mythical beast has appeared nearby, a mythical beast that is born to breathe fire."
"Mythical beast? Just brag, can we still have a mythical beast in this crappy place?"
"Besides, if a mythical beast appears, do they want to benefit from it? Aren't they afraid that the mythical beast will burn them to ashes with fire?"
"You know nothing! People say it's a cub, but if it really is an adult beast, not to mention Pingyang Village, the entire Shuitou Town wouldn't be able to burn that beast!"
…
At this point, Ding Shengzhan finally understood that the fire was not caused by Yuan Huo, but by a cub. What cub could be so powerful? Ding Sheng thought about it for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that this mythical beast
There are only a few types of fire-attributed creatures, either the Phoenix or the Kirin. Generally speaking, the Kirin is more likely. Because the Phoenix almost never appears in front of the world, but the Kirin has to grow in the mortal world.
Most of the Phoenix cubs are found in the deep mountains, and Qilin is originally an auspicious beast, and the cubs often appear in the human world. And the most important thing is that the Phoenix cub Qingluan does not spit purple flames, but the Qilin cub can
It was covered in purple flames and liked to dig into tunnels everywhere. It was probably because Pingyang Village was unfortunate enough to have been tunneled by it once, which caused the purple flames to set off and destroy the village.
