Chapter 146 Miao Village in Shiwandashan
——Thanks to the King of Carrots and a friend who loves little people for the reward. I also accidentally learned yesterday that many friends have read the book and forgot to save it. Please click to save it to support it. Thank you.
Shi Xuan climbed mountains and waded all the way, and after killing many monsters, he finally arrived at the approximate location given by his master, a Miao village on a gentle hill. According to what the master said, when he traveled around the world, he had visited the Chijia Village and even had some friendship with their village owner, and the Yin and Yang True Evil was near the Chijia Village, but Mo Yuan did not give the Yin and Yang True Evil. The specific location of the evil spirit was probably left for Shi Xuan to find on his own, so that he could have some hard work in it.
Since he was an old friend of his master, Shi Xuan had no choice but to pay a visit. At the same time, he also had to use this village as a focal point to slowly search for the true evil spirit of Yin and Yang.
Shi Xuan walked through some fields opened by the Chi family and came to the gate of the village. Two men with colorfully painted faces stepped forward to stop him and babbled. Fortunately, Shi Xuan used telepathy on himself. , finally understood what it meant: "Who are you? What are you doing in our Chijiazhai?"
After transforming his words with magic, Shi Xuan replied: "Shi Xuan, a poor Taoist, was ordered by Master Mo Yuan to find the master of Chi Zhi Chi Village."
The two men looked at each other with strange eyes, and then one of them separated to report the news to the village.
After a while, a bright and beautiful girl, wearing traditional Miao clothes and a headscarf, walked out quickly. She was fourteen or fifteen years old, with some sadness in her eyebrows and a slightly excited look. She met Shi Xuan Then he immediately saluted solemnly: "Chi Yao pays homage to my uncle!"
Shi Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, uncle? Well, the master is about one hundred and thirty years old. He must have been traveling around the world more than ninety years ago. According to the calculation of a normal person's 20 to 30 years, this Chiyao girl calls her great-uncle It was very reasonable, so he signaled Chi Yao not to be too polite: "I wonder where the old village master of Chi Zhi is?"
"My ancestor has been dead for almost a century." Chi Yao smiled bitterly, "I wonder what happened to my uncle? Is there anyone Chi Yao can help?"
Only then did Shi Xuan realize that the old leader of the Chizhi Village was probably not a monk, so he could not live for such a long time. However, there were many monsters and beasts in this hundred thousand mountains. How could the Chizhi Village survive? This question in his mind must not be asked directly, so he responded calmly: "I was originally ordered by my master to come here to visit the old village master of Chizhi and get some news. Now that the old village master of Chizhi has passed away, Pindao Just offer a stick of incense on behalf of the master."
Chi Yao pouted: "Uncle comes here, if he just offers a stick of incense and then leaves, people from other villages will say that our Chi family village does not treat guests well. Besides, if uncle wants to find out information, Chi Yao can invite the villagers The old people inside came out to ask my uncle for help."
"That's very good. The poor Taoist will stay in the village for a few days. I also ask Miss Chiyao to ask the elderly people if they have seen any cold and masculine evil spirits nearby." Shi Xuan did not refuse. I plan to stay in Chijiazhai for a few days. Firstly, it is convenient to search for evil spirits. Secondly, the person Yaowang Sect is searching for has entered Shiwanda Mountain. If I stay out at night like this, I will inevitably encounter some unnecessary troubles.
Chi Yao showed a bright smile, like the clear sky with the beginning of rain and snow: "Uncle, our generation gap is too big, you should just call Chi Yao by his first name, or Xiao Yao."
While talking, she enthusiastically stepped forward to support Shi Xuan and walked into the village. Shi Xuan did not refuse her kindness, but the Tai Chi figure in the Dantian was still on standby, just to be on guard against others.
When they walked into the village, the Miao people they met looked at the two of them curiously. Some even turned around and left immediately, as if they were reporting to someone.
Shi Xuan could feel that Chi Yao's hand supporting him was trembling a little, and her heart was beating fast. However, she looked as normal on the surface and could not tell at all: "Uncle, you will stay at Xiao Yao's house later, the two of them. "Most of the houses in the village are bamboo houses, and only a few are bamboo houses.
Just as Shi Xuan was about to answer Chi Yao's words, several men from the Miao family walked towards him. The leader was a tall, ferocious-looking young man. He asked in a vicious tone: "Xiao Yao, who is this? ! You are almost mine, how can you support another man?"
Chi Yao said without any sign of weakness: "Zhang Qi, this is the apprentice of my ancestor's friend, so he is my great-uncle. What's wrong with me, a junior, supporting an elder? Besides, what do you mean I'm almost yours? I tell you You, unless I, Chi Yao, are dead, don’t have any illusions. Also, I am the leader of Chi Family Village, so please speak with respect!"
In a short sentence, Shi Xuan smelled the smell of dog blood and understood some of the reasons why Chi Yao was so enthusiastic. However, now was not the time to interrupt, so Shi Xuan stood there and watched with unchanged expression.
"Yes, the little village leader! But the whole village supports me marrying you. Even if you don't want to marry, you have to marry. Let's go!" Zhang Qi deliberately accentuated the small words, and then looked at Shi Xuan with a fierce look. Then he turned around and left with a few men.
When Chi Yao saw Zhang Qi leaving, she didn't say anything. She lowered her head so that Shi Xuan couldn't see her expression, and then continued to help Shi Xuan towards the two-story bamboo building.
As soon as she entered the small bamboo building, Chi Yao closed the door, leaned against the door, and slowly shrank down to the ground. She hugged her knees and cried softly. After a while, she stopped, raised her tearful face, and looked at Looking at Shi Xuan who had found a stool in front of him and sat down, he blushed and said with embarrassment, "Uncle, you are just laughing. Xiao Yao just couldn't control herself."
Shi Xuan did not say anything, but just raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her. When Chi Yao saw Shi Xuan's half-smile and half-smile, and his eyes that seemed to see through the world but also had a bit of childish purity, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and she knew that her thoughts had been seen through. She immediately knelt down respectfully, sobbing and kowtowing: "Uncle, please save Xiao Yao."
"Just now, Xiao Yao was filled with excitement when she heard that it was the disciple of the ancestor Mo Yuan. My ancestor once told the descendants that his good friend Mo Yuan, He has the ability to see through the heavens and the earth, and he is a living immortal. If we meet again in the future, I must serve the old ancestor Mo Yuan as I served him. "
"Xiao Yao thought that since you, the old uncle, are the disciple of the living immortal ancestor Mo Yuan, you must be extremely powerful, so I saw a glimmer of hope in despair, and I supported you so affectionately before. Please don't be offended."
Chi Yao talked a little over and over again, and finally said what was in her heart, and then looked at Shi Xuan with pleading eyes.
"You get up and tell me the cause and effect, so that I can help you." Shi Xuan saw through the Qi that the strength of the people in the Chijiazhai was not strong. The strongest ones were only a few out-of-body stages, but they were not the out-of-body stages of Taoism, but the subtle realm of martial arts. Therefore, it was no problem to help the descendants of the master and friends.
Chi Yao stood up happily, and then stood respectfully at Shi Xuan's feet: "This matter has to start from three years ago. At that time, my father and several uncles from the family encountered a monster that could transform into a human (in the Qi-inducing stage) while hunting, and all of them died."
Intermittently, Chi Yao finally made the matter clear. Although Chijiazhai is called Chijiazhai, it is not only Chijiazhai, but also Zhang, Fang, Liu, Xi, Fu and other surnames. The major surnames are united by marriage. However, the village chief must be a member of the Chigu family who led everyone to overcome difficulties and establish the village, that is, Chi Yao's family.
After Chi Yao's father and several brothers died, the older generation was no longer there, so the next generation Chi Yao became the village chief. After all, she was the oldest of the remaining children of the Chi family, and the other children were only two or three years old to five or six years old. In addition, there was a precedent of women serving as village chiefs before, so no one objected.
But Chi Yao himself had no talent for martial arts, especially in practicing the Chi family's ancestral White Tiger Seven Swords. Three years had passed, and he had not been able to master any of the sword techniques. In addition, during these three years, their forests were eaten up by Panjia Village, Yaojia Village, etc., forcing many people in the village to go into the deeper jungle to hunt. There were far more powerful monsters there than in the forests that had been developed, so many people died.
In this situation, another big family, the Zhang family, proposed that their son Zhang Qi marry into the Chi family to help Chi Yao manage the affairs of the village. Zhang Qi was the best master of the younger generation. The Zhang family's ancestral mountain splitting sword technique had already been mastered, but his internal strength was not up to par and could not be advanced to the subtle level.
Chi Yao certainly didn't like Zhang Qi, and the Zhang family had been relying on their numbers in recent years, and had shown signs of disobeying the orders of the village chief, so she refused immediately. What she didn't expect was that the other surnames, even including the Chi surname, began to persuade her to accept Zhang Qi. Later, they all said that if she didn't marry Zhang Qi, she would be the culprit of the decline of the village.
Chi Yao looked gentle and young, and her mother had passed away in the past three years. She seemed to be easily swayed by the will of the crowd, but in fact, she was very stubborn and a little rebellious. The more she was forced, the more she refused. However, in recent times, everyone seemed to have the tendency to force her, which made Chi Yao, who was not good at martial arts, feel uneasy, and the appearance of Shi Xuan made Chi Yao feel like she had grabbed the last straw.
"Why are all the older generations in your family gone?" Since Shi Xuan decided to help, he naturally had to ask clearly, and he would be safe.
Chi Yao smiled bitterly: "The Seven White Tiger Blades is a sword technique with a strong murderous aura. If you use it for a long time, you will hurt yourself. Therefore, most of our Chi family members do not live beyond the age of fifty. However, it is an ancestral method with great power. When it is practiced to perfection, it can even kill monsters that can transform into humans with the state of entering the microcosm."
I see, but the master also came here that year, why didn't he help his friend solve this problem? Shi Xuan then asked: "When my master came that year, did he improve the Seven White Tiger Blades?"
"Ancestor Mo Yuan did think about it, but this set of sword techniques was passed down from ancient times, and he had no way to improve it, and there was no other martial arts with equal power to replace it, so he persuaded my ancestor to practice with him, but the price was to give up the Seven White Tiger Blades. After considering it, my ancestor still refused." Chi Yao's answer solved Shi Xuan's doubts.
