Chapter 4: The Lone Star
As soon as he entered the cave, Liangchen felt a change in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
Without the depressing poisonous miasma, the two of them suddenly felt much more comfortable.
The space in the cave is not large, but it is not cramped either.
A long table and a few rattan chairs were placed in the back, and the walls were hung with thick animal bones and nameless animal skins, and there was no other decoration, making it look extremely rudimentary.
Standing in the innermost part was a black-robed mother-in-law, who was preparing some kind of potion against the various bottles and jars on the table, muttering a few strange spells as she adjusted.
The black-robed mother-in-law was covered with necklaces, belts, and bracelets made of demon beast bones, her hands were dry like tree bark, her face was wrinkled like spider webs, and her cloudy eyes had a strange black color.
Seeing a few people entering, she stopped her movements, swept her gaze and finally stayed on Yuan Lintian, and a layer of tears appeared in her cloudy eyes:
"It's so big for a while!, exactly the same expression as before!" the black-robed mother-in-law muttered to herself, and then greeted her.
"Granny Grass has seen the young master!" Granny Grass slowly knelt down and saluted solemnly.
"Get up. Seeing her so old, it seemed that she had seen herself before, and Yuan Lintian hurriedly went up and stretched out his hand to help her up.
"The young master is sitting here. Granny Grass got up tremblingly, I don't know if she was old, or she couldn't hide her excitement in her heart, and took a rattan chair and handed it over.
Watching Yuan Lintian sit down, Granny Cao's eyes kept staring at him and never moved a bit.
"When I was a child, it was said that the young master was a greedy wolf, the master of killing, and the lonely star, but now the rumors are mostly fulfilled!"
Suddenly, Yuan Lintian's face changed, and he wanted to scold, but suddenly found that what she said was true, and he couldn't refute it!
If he was a child, he would still be able to refute a few words, and even regard it as the proverb of the wandering monk.
But now that all his relatives have left him, it is really a prophecy, fulfilling the prophecy of the lonely star.
His face turned pale and pale, but in the end he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said:
"Granny Grass saw me when I was a child, why didn't I have an impression?"
"At that time, I went to the Scattered Pavilion with the three sacrifices a few times, and I had seen the young master from afar, and at that time, the young master had an expression of rejection, and it was normal to be unimpressed. Granny Grass replied.
"I see. Yuan Lintian had a sudden expression, and then asked: "The snake forest is the largest hidden stake in this place, how can there be only a few of you?"
"Alas~ Young Master Qiqi, there were originally nearly 100 people in the clansmen who fled here, but unfortunately after decades of poisonous miasma erosion, coupled with several encirclements and suppressions by the three kings, only more than 20 people survived. Granny Grass sighed and said.
"Where are those people?" Yuan Lintian was also a little sad when he heard this, and asked again.
"In order to prevent being discovered by the three kings and caught all of them, we are also divided into several groups and hide in various parts of the snake forest. The old body had already informed the others, and it must have been almost there. Granny Grass replied.
When Liangchen heard this, he immediately felt a little sad, he had been hiding in this ghost place for decades, and he was always on guard, it was simply an inhuman life!
"No wonder these people are all scarred. Liangchen thought in his heart.
While a few people were talking, they heard a knock on the door, and the earless man repeatedly pointed seven or eight people into the wall.
"See the young master!"
"Congratulations to the young master on returning to Wujiang!" several people saluted ecstatically.
After a few waves of this, the room was already full of people.
More than 20 people were pale and bloodless, covered in all kinds of strange scars.
But when they saw the young master coming back, they seemed to see hope, and a hint of blush finally appeared on their faces.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, everyone also saw the stranger next to the young master, and everyone tried their own means to explore his realm, but they still didn't get anything.
"This is Lord Shomori!" said Yuan Lintian again.
As soon as everyone heard this, their faces were about to bow down, and as soon as the Liangchen Void was raised, they felt a huge force coming, and everyone couldn't worship anymore, and a trace of shock suddenly appeared on their faces!
"You don't have to be polite, I'm not from Wujiang, so I don't need to make such a big gift. "Liangchen saw that their salute was a kneeling prostration, which felt a little cumbersome and strange.
When everyone heard this, they looked at Liangchen's eyes with a little more respect, and when they heard the deeds of the Holy Guard who had killed the eighth-order demon king, a noise sounded, and then they looked at him with a little more awe.
"All these years, hard work. Yuan Lintian glanced around, and suddenly the voice of the discussion gradually became smaller.
"Trouble Granny Grass to introduce the current situation in Wujiang. ”
Granny Grass walked to the front and was about to say goodbye, she looked at Liangchen and stopped talking.
"He's a saint, not an outsider, though. "The path of heaven is far away.
When Liangchen saw her expression, he didn't wait for her to open her mouth and said directly: "After months of running, I am really tired, is there a clean room, I want to rest!"
"So... Take the Castle Keeper to rest. Yuan Lintian knew Liangchen's intentions when he heard the sound, and nodded with a smile.
A man took Liangchen out of the tree hole, continued to move towards the depths of the forest, about half a cup of tea, in front of an ancient tree, the man tapped a certain part of the trunk repeatedly, and then pushed, a tree hole appeared.
"Lord Shomori, please rest, and my subordinates will retire. ”
Liangchen nodded and flew in, and saw a slightly smaller room, a table, a bed and two chairs.
He took out a set of array flags and arranged them briefly, and then released his mind to carefully check that there were no hidden dangers, and then lay down on the bed.
After talking with Yuan Lintian for so long, I also have a brief understanding of this Wujiang.
The four kings of Wujiang, headed by the Yuan family.
The Yuan family is good at all kinds of insect Gu poison Gu techniques; the Yue family is good at infant Gu corpse Gu techniques; the Yu family has many women, and they are good at flower Gu grass Gu love Gu; the Zhi family is the most mysterious and chaotic, and some taboo black witchcraft and paper people are involved in the head lowering technique.
At that time, the three families had planned for a long time and then suddenly burst out to besiege, and the Yuan family was defeated and retreated one after another, and finally almost the entire army was wiped out.
The rest of the tribe either fled to other places, or survived in various dangerous places in Wujiang.
I heard Yuan Lintian once say that there are hundreds of hidden piles, large and small, and the place I went to today is the largest place within a radius of thousands of miles, but I didn't expect that there were only more than 20 people left.
"If this is the case with other hidden piles, then how many people are there!"
"Relying on this little power, it is simply wishful thinking to counterattack the Three Kings and regain the Wujiang Territory!"
Liangchen weighed the situation in his heart, and after a while, he shook his head and didn't think about it, after all, these are all things that Yuan Lintian has to think about.
He can only help him participate in the Soul Choosing Sacrifice, then defeat his opponent, and then borrow his hidden stake power to leave Wujiang.
As for the other problems in the future, they are not within his control.
Thinking of this, he got up and sat down in his chair, and Ping Pong took out a few storage bags of different styles and placed them on the table.
