Chapter 1114: Greed Becomes a Demon
It's a pity that no matter how ruthless this man is, he also picked the wrong object!
Even if Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin were not masters of spiritual cultivation, just with Xiao Yin's identity as a Yuan Bao Divine Doctor, they would not be easily put down by a villager!
If it weren't as Xuanbao expected, the villagers would definitely go back and call for helpers! Anyway, these two people couldn't go far after drinking the poisoned tea, but the horse was difficult to deal with, and he himself estimated that he couldn't settle it.
For the people in this village to want the red rainbow flowing clouds, Xuan Bao is not surprised. From the first time the man saw the red rainbow flowing clouds, he had already exposed a greedy look. Of course, he didn't use the red rainbow clouds to plow and farm for him, but he took a fancy to the horse meat in that body!
A group of wilderness villagers don't have too high a city government, and they don't have too deep scheming, and if they want to get food, they will use the most direct and effective methods. If you can't poison it, all that's left is to rob it!
It's just that Xuanbao and Xiaoyin don't understand, since they want Chihong Liuyun, why don't they just poison the horse, but they use this trick on people?
Poison is different from **, ** at most makes people unconscious, but poison is deadly! These villagers should not be so vicious as to kill people in order to snatch an animal in their eyes! Then why did the man attack him and Xiao Yin? It doesn't make sense!
Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin were puzzled, but now they can only be vigilant and observe the anomaly here first! For the two of them, this river is a strange existence!
Water is the source of all things. That is to say, everything in the world, as long as it is alive, whether it is a human or a beast, whether it is a green tree or a grass, a bird, an insect or a fish, they all take water as the root of their survival, and without water, there will be no life!
However, this river is alive, green on both banks, but it can only feed the distance of less than a zhang between the two banks, and it can never spread to the top, nor can it bring strong vitality to the two villages!
It's a strange phenomenon that the qi and yin qi have not changed because of this river, and Xuanbao has not gone to the other side, but the place as far as the eye can see is the same barren as this side.
A whole piece of wasteland, divided into two pieces because of this river, but there is no clear boundary, but another life independent of the whole inner wasteland, which has not been assimilated at all, and has not tried to assimilate both banks!
Is it because of this river that the villagers have been able to survive until now? Although they cannot turn the entire inner wilderness into a place full of life, they have been able to allow themselves to reproduce here for generations, and although they live a hard life, they do not want to go far away.
In fact, most of the people in the Central Plains are like this, no matter how poor their hometown is, they will not leave their hometown unless they have to.
Chihong Liuyun lowered his head and ate grass, and Xuanbao was not afraid that it would be poisoned. This guy now has the same endurance as his master, and ordinary poisons can't work on it at all.
And what Chihong Liuyun eats is not the Yang Grass, but a kind of grass that grows under the rhizome of this thing, because it was covered by a large area of Yang Grass at the beginning, but Xuan Bao and Xiao Yin didn't find it.
"What is this?" Xiao Yin looked at the grass that Chihong Liuyun bit into her mouth, feeling very strange. The appearance of this grass is a bit special, about an inch long, each with only one leaf, straight into the sky!
Don't look at the whole grass is more than an inch long, but the grass roots alone stand for seven points, and there are only three points of grass blades, thanks to the eyes of the red rainbow and flowing clouds, otherwise it is really not easy to see, thinking that it is dead grass!
Xiao Yin also pulled out one, put it in her mouth and chewed it, her eyes slowly widened, and she said to Xuanbao in surprise: "It's so sweet!"
When Xuanbao heard this, he also pulled out one and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and a stream of sweet juice flowed from his mouth to his stomach, which was a rare delicacy!
"I remember when I was in Caixia Mountain, I would go to the cliff of the back mountain every day to pick fire grass for the bird dance, only take the upper branches and leaves, and leave the lower rhizomes in the cliff soil. In order to find the most bitter fire grass, I tried to eat the rhizome, but because of this, I found that the bitter and numb fire grass rhizome is as sweet as honey! Now these yang grasses are the same as fire grass, they are all bitter and avoidable, but they are accompanied by sweet things, and everything in this world is really inseparable from each other!"
Listening to Xuan Bao's words, Xiao Yin smiled slightly and said to him: "In fact, fire grass belongs to a kind of yang-generating grass, and it is also a good medicine to dispel yin and nourish yang, but it grows on mountain cliffs and is transformed by yin wind. This kind of yang-giving grass is called blood burning, but it is something that grows in the mounds, and it is often associated with sawgrass grass! One absorbs yang, and the other nourishes yang, but it is in line with what you said about the mutual restraint of all things!"
This is much more murderous than fire grass! Xuan Bao knows what kind of place the mound pile is, and only the corpses that have been buried casually by those who died on the battlefield have no time to bring back to the drum are called mounds!
I can't believe that this blood-burned grass grows here! Hyun Po suddenly felt like vomiting!
However, Xiao Yin saw his thoughts, shook her head and said to him: "The reason why it has become a thing that nourishes yang shows that it is very picky about soil quality and nutrients, and absorbs a few nutrients in the soil, so although I can't name this grass, it is definitely not dirty!"
Hearing Xiao Yin say this, Xuan Bao was relieved, and simply pulled out some more and put it in his hand and chewed it slowly. The sweetness of this grass is obvious, but it is not the kind that makes people get tired of eating too much, but the more you chew, the more chewy it becomes, and the taste is very long-lasting.
Xuan Bao handed the sweet grass in his hand to Xiao Yin and said, "Give this to the Seven Holy Masters, see if they have a way to plant it in the Origin Realm, chewing a few plants when this thing is idle is also a good pastime!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yin also likes to eat, but she knows she can't eat more. Even the imperial concubine has long since gotten rid of the level of eating yang and replenishing yang, but girls reject things with excess yang energy from instinct, except for people.
Looking at the river in front of her, Xiao Yin said to Xuanbao: "The anger in this river is too heavy, it has exceeded the limit, there is something in the river in my arms, this is not a good phenomenon!"
Xuanbao couldn't understand this, and looked at Xiao Yin strangely and said, "It's not a good phenomenon to be too angry?"
"Everything is too much! Too much or too little is not a good thing! Once you are too angry, you will consume a lot of nutrients around you, and it will have the same consequences as too much yin qi, which is an important reason for the formation of internal famine!" Xiao Yin explained to Xuan Bao, shaking her head slightly and sighing.
Xuan Bao put his hand into the water and felt the qi in the water again. As Xiao Yin said, there is no miscellaneous gas in the water except for anger, and I didn't think it was strange just now, but now it seems that there is not even a fish at all!
It's hard to imagine what would happen to the people of the two villages if they just drank this kind of water, but Xuan Bao had already guessed it! The two children of the man's family, as well as the few young men with knives who were thinking about attacking Chihong Liuyun outside the village, their performance was the result of drinking this river water all year round.
Two extremes, one is as quiet as wood, not interested in anything. The other is hyperactivity and doesn't want to stop at all!
There are two very different people in a village, and I don't know how they usually get along, but now is the time when they are the same enemy, because this horse is enough for them to have a good meal!
About a hundred men, armed with machetes, sickles, axes, and the like, rushed towards the river with great vigour, and their eyes were full of excitement and greed, and there was nothing in their eyes but the strange-looking tall horse!
That horse weighed at least more than 2,000 catties, enough for the whole village to eat for a day! As for the man and the woman, let them sacrifice to the river god, of course, the woman can stay, give birth to the men of the whole village, and be the wife of the men of the whole village!
But when Xuanbao took Xiao Yin and walked up from the river, everyone was surprised, and the man who led the way just now was even more like a ghost, and he couldn't figure out that these two people had drunk poison, but they were all fine until now!
It's one thing to be poisoned to death, it's another thing to be hacked to death with a knife and axe in your hand! These villagers have not done anything to lose their conscience, and every year many past businessmen break into this place in order to avoid the Yushan soldiers and bandits.
Now that there are suddenly two people who are not afraid of poison at all, what should I do? The villagers looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, did they really want to kill them?
In fact, it's not that they are soft-hearted, but they still lose their kindness, they have lived in this kind of place where birds don't for so many years, and their conscience has long been taken to feed the dogs, as long as they survive, it is the most important thing!
It's just that only the people who are poisoned are the river god's favorite food, once they are hacked to death with a knife and axe, the river god will be angry and not eat, and then the whole village will be unlucky!
"What do you want to do?" Xuan Bao looked at the villagers coldly, shook his head and said, "Don't do stupid things, you can't hurt us, you can only hurt yourself!"
This is a piece of advice, but no one will listen to it, because the villagers have taken it as a provocation to them!
The poisoned man looked at the red rainbow clouds beside Xuanbao, and seemed to have seen a pot of fragrant deliciousness, swallowed hard, and shouted: "Kill him!
"But the river gods don't like to eat women!" a villager reminded him by the arm.
When the poisoned man heard this, there was a cruel cold light in his eyes, and he shouted at everyone: "Then throw the bolt and his father into it!"
"His father is only in his thirties, and if he is given to the river god, what will happen to his family?" The man next to him was still a little hesitant.
"you!" the poisoned man kicked him to the ground and cursed in his mouth: "Lao Tzu has not eaten meat for a long time, and today I will slaughter this horse no matter what! If you have pity on his father's sick man, I will throw you down to sacrifice to the river god! I even threw my Lao Tzu down, and you still dare to stop Lao Tzu? Believe it or not, I will throw you down now?"
The man gritted his teeth, raised the axe in his hand, and shouted, "Kill the man, there will be meat to eat!"
With the shouts of the villagers, Xuan Bao sighed, shook his head, turned his head to Xiao Yin and said: "What is really terrible is not poverty, but greed! Greed without restraint will only turn people into something inferior to animals, make people become demons, and even kill their own relatives!"
