Chapter 363: Postscript to the Old Antique Chapter: Holy Water From the Demon Realm (II) (Extra Chapter)
This villager's home is not far away, only three or four miles away from the village entrance. Along the way, Lao Gudong and Taotie Taoist saw the scenery of the entire village.
Just as the villagers said, there are not many villagers in this village, and most of the cultivators have very low cultivation. Lao Gudong deduced that these cultivators were the cultivators who mistakenly entered the Gate of the Other World.
This is also completely consistent with what the villagers said before.
Every time the Gate of the Other World appears, the storm formed by the door opening when it lands will always suck in a large number of innocent cultivators nearby. According to the records of opening the door in previous years, there are no less than hundreds of thousands of cultivators swallowed by the Gate of the Other World.
And the cultivators in this village are obviously the ones who survived...
So, when these low-level cultivators were involved here, how desperate were they?
The old antique looked at the beautiful scenery of the village all the way, and sighed in his heart: This should be the so-called bright future after a dark period...
The two brothers approached the tile house where the villagers lived, and suddenly felt a strong spiritual energy lingering outside the tile house...
The two were surprised again. This was clearly just a very ordinary material. But the spiritual energy contained was really too exaggerated!
The two were about to teach, but they saw this enthusiastic villager standing at the door with a warm and hospitable smile on his face: "I haven't introduced myself to you two adults yet. I am Li Hu, the first generation of residents in the village. This is my home!"
Under the mask, Taotie Taoist showed a look of realization.
It turned out to be the first generation of residents...No wonder he knew the history of the village so much.
"Your house is obviously made of ordinary materials, but the spiritual energy is abnormally high. Does this have anything to do with the holy water?" asked the old antique.
Li Hu nodded without hesitation: "Yes. The building materials of our entire village are very ordinary, almost all of them are locally sourced, and the bricks and tiles are all freshly fired. As for why there is such a high concentration of spiritual energy... it is because we added holy water to the bricks and tiles when we made them."
It is indeed the case...
The old antique and Taotie Taoist sighed inwardly.
"Come in and sit down, my two lords." Li Hu smiled and welcomed the two into the door.
After entering the door, he immediately poured two bowls of water and handed them to the two people: "This is holy water, please use it, the two adults."
Old Antique and Taotie Taoist were shocked: "You just gave it to us like this? Aren't we going to wait for the village chief to come back..."
Li Hu smiled: "This little holy water is actually not very useful. At most, it can quench thirst and replenish spiritual power. The two adults took a huge risk to find our village, so I guess the demand for holy water should be very large. The large demand for holy water needs to be approved by the village chief himself."
"Is that so..."
"In fact, every household in our village has a reserve of holy water. At the beginning of each month, the village chief will send a few buckets to each villager's home. I just happen to have two bowls of water left. Just drink it, the two adults. Just treat it as a product experience." Li Hu said.
The two brothers nodded. Since the words have come to this point, they naturally don't need to be polite. They all lowered their heads and drank the small bowl of holy water in front of them without hesitation.
"Delicious!" As sweet as sugar water!
There was not much feeling when it entered the mouth, but when the holy water completely entered the body, the fatigue in the whole body was swept away in an instant.
The two brothers stretched out their hands and found that the spiritual light was surging on their palms. It was a phenomenon that the spiritual power was replenished and overflowed.
"It's really magical..." Both of them sighed.
This bowl of holy water is actually better than the elixir that replenishes spiritual power!
After calming down, the old antique continued to ask: "You said before that it's not just us who come to ask for holy water? Has anyone else come?"
"Yes." Li Hu nodded: "Moreover, most people who come to ask for holy water have unspeakable secrets and want to rely on the power of holy water to heal. Holy water is indeed effective for difficult and complicated diseases, but it still needs to be judged according to the condition of the disease."
"What do you mean?" asked the old antique.
Li Hu pointed to the bowl on the table: "As you two have seen, although holy water is magical, a bowl of holy water does not actually play a big role. It is necessary to judge the amount of holy water required based on the severity of the disease or symptoms. Only the village chief and the deputy village chief can do this."
So there is such a saying... The two brothers understood.
"The origins of the two adults are not simple. Judging from my personal experience, the amount of holy water required by the adults should be huge." Li Hu smiled.
Old Antique raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think so?"
"When the two adults came to the village entrance, they were both calm and composed. If it weren't for their extraordinary realm, they would not be able to move at all in the Gate of the Other World."
Li Hu analyzed: "Moreover, the two adults' direction was very clear, pointing directly to our village. They must have bought the map from the treasure map dealer, otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to find our village under normal circumstances. I think you can guess the strength of the two adults who can afford the map of the Gate of the Other World... and they must be big figures in the outside world's cultivation circle with their names. "
Old Antique and Taotie Taoist were both surprised when they heard this, and they were all right!
When he said this, Li Hu touched his head: "Maybe the two adults are very curious about why I know so much about the treasure map dealer... because the village map was actually sold to the treasure map dealer by the village chief."
Old Antique: "..."
Taotie Taoist: "..."
"Although the Gate to the Otherworld has a five-year time limit in the outside world, there are indeed many uncertain small holes inside. As long as you can find them, you can spit people out of the outside world."
Li Hu said: "Before, someone wanted to get out of the Gate to the Otherworld, and the village chief drew a coordinate map of the village and relevant instructions for holy water. He entrusted that person to take it out together. I didn't expect that the two seniors would actually come to the door not long after the advertisement was made!"
Old Antique: "..."
Taotie Taoist: "..."
Old Antique: "Then may I ask, little brother, when will the village chief come back?"
Li Hu glanced out the window and estimated in his mind: "It should be soon. At this time every day, the village chief is receiving holy water. The holy water is not spit out continuously, but will flow out at the source at a fixed time every day."
Old Antique and Taotie Taoist nodded.
At this time, Li Hu, who was looking out the window, showed a serious look on his face.
Suddenly, he said, "The village chief is back!"
The old antique looked out the window and saw a man carrying a shoulder pole walking slowly from a distance.
Seeing that he was about to pass the door, Li Hu reminded him in a low voice: "When you two ask about the holy water later, don't ask the village chief whether he has drunk it or not. This is taboo."
"Why?" Taotie Taoist was curious.
Li Hu's expression tightened: "Because the village chief has never drunk it..."
"Ah?" Both brothers were shocked.
This holy water is such a good thing, why would the village chief choose not to drink it? I always feel that there is something fishy here!
