No matter when, remember the word dignity. A person must have dignity, principles and bottom line. Otherwise, no one will respect you - author's words.
"I think so too. If the goddess comes back, with the goddess's appeal, she can summon the villagers outside the village back. So tonight's dust-cleansing banquet is the first step, and then after the third elder confirms the identity of the goddess, We then informed the villagers in Tianwai Village that even with Naha¡¯s force, we could not completely suppress the villagers¡¯ desire to return, because in our hearts, the goddess is equal to the great goddess Nuwa, which has been formed over thousands of years. Tradition cannot be changed by a mere Naha."
Speaking of this Naha, Shana couldn't help but secretly pay attention to it. After all, the other party is also the head of the village. Her actions will inevitably harm the other party's interests. It's strange that he didn't respond accordingly. Therefore, in order to prevent the other party's malicious " "Response", then understanding this person is a must.
"Mother-in-law, can you tell me about Naha?" Shana said.
Granny Pujing shook her head and said: "This boy Naha has had a bad temper since he was a child. He loses his temper at the slightest thing. He is a famous little bully in the village. Until he became an adult, his bad temper not only did not change, but It has become more violent.¡±
"In other words, he is the kind of irritable person?"
"Yes, and he does things without thinking and is easily impulsive. He is a person whose body acts before his head. However, his martial arts skills are indeed quite good. There were several times when he led the crowd to ambush and attack, if not for Pu Ru. , maybe my life will still fall into his hands."
its not right.
Hearing Granny Pujing say this, Shana suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Mother-in-law, will the days when you go out to the village go down the mountain for shopping be fixed? For example, you only go down the mountain a few times a year?" Shana asked in order to verify her idea.
"It can't be fixed." Although she didn't know why Shana asked, Granny Pujing still answered truthfully: "Although we use the harvested crops to trade with the towns down the mountain, many times, due to solar terms and weather changes, Changes, crop harvests are not fixed either in quantity or time, why do you ask?¡±
Sure enough.
Shana secretly thought, from what her mother-in-law said before, we can know that this Naha is not a smart person, but an irritable and reckless person. Such a person will not bother to understand the harvest time of crops. If there is no Knowing the harvest time of the crops, he had no way of inferring the time when his mother-in-law would go down the mountain. What's more, he would have to ambush her on their route down the mountain. If he thought about it this way, there were only two possibilities.
First, Naha has people of extraordinary intelligence around him, so that he can plan such things for him.
But if this is not possible, then the second possibility is even more terrifying.
Because in addition to the first possibility, the second possibility can only mean that there is an internal agent from Naha in the village, so Naha can be notified of the time and route of the mother-in-law leaving the village, so that he can seize the best opportunity for a sneak attack. .
But secondly, you may not be able to tell your mother-in-law and others, otherwise, firstly, it will alert the enemy, and secondly, if you make a wrong judgment, it will hurt the feelings of everyone in the village.
Therefore, we must have more clues before we can draw a conclusion!
"Speaking of Granny Puru, is she very powerful? She can protect Granny Pujing when Naha sneak attacks. The second elder's magic is very strong." Since she didn't intend to say what she was thinking immediately, Shana simply Change the subject.
"Hey" She didn't expect Shana to ask such a casual question, but Granny Pujing sighed: "Puru, she has sacrificed a lot for this village. She is very talented in magic, otherwise She will not hold the position of elder, but in order to fight against the melee force of Tianwai Village, Puru resolutely gave up her Taoism and focused on the art of summoning. You must know that we are not born with structures like the goddess. It took her ten years of hard work to successfully summon the Rakshasa ghost from hell, and then use the secret technique handed down from ancient times to temporarily attach the Rakshasa ghost to her body. I have obtained a powerful force that can compete with Naha. Therefore, Puru is the only person in the whole village who can compete with Naha head-on. If it weren't for her, I would have been coerced by Naha during those few sneak attacks."
"Using Taoism to martial arts" Shana sighed and said: "The second elder is indeed very perseverant, but this method of exchanging evil ghosts for force is too heavy a load on her body."
"That's right, Pu Ru doesn't dare to summon Rakshasa ghosts now. Every time an evil ghost relies on her, it will cause a serious load on her body. Once the body cannot bear the load, the evil ghost will react.Fortunately, there have been no intruders from Naha in recent years, otherwise it is unknown whether the village would have been able to survive to this day. "
"The first elder is good at Taoism, and the second elder uses Taoism to enter martial arts, but he doesn't know what the third elder is capable of?" Now that we have decided to restore the hermit village to its full power in the name of the goddess, in the next actions, It was necessary to mobilize every ounce of power in the village, so Shana spared no effort to inquire about the skills of the three elders, so that they would not make mistakes in judgment when they needed to use their time.
Granny Pujing took the trouble to answer Shana's questions.
"Third Elder Boxin, due to poor health since childhood, although she has practiced some Taoism, in general, she is only at an above-average level and cannot be said to be outstanding. However, she has an almost instinctive talent for work. Since she taught the villagers how to farm, the village's harvest has been much better than before, which is also a great contribution to the village. In addition, she has established a boundary with her father and brother, so the villagers elected her to become the third elder."
"oh."
Shana nodded thoughtfully.
No, it¡¯s impossible to determine who is the mole based on these alone.
Shana thought, the great elder Bojing's status in the village is only lower than that of the goddess, and she has great authority over other villagers or the two elders. Naturally, such a person cannot be Naha's internal agent, because she has no Enough interest and motivation for her to do so.
Next, the second elder and the third elder are not easy to talk about. Let¡¯s talk about the second elder first. Because she can¡¯t get her grandfather, she has always been jealous in her heart. This can be seen from her attitude towards herself just now. If If there is no one in this village who least wants to become a goddess, it must be the second elder. But based on this alone, it is impossible to confirm that she is an insider, because she did protect everyone during several sneak attacks by Naha. The elder does not fall into the hands of Naha, so there can only be a question mark on this second elder.
As for the third elder, she is the most suspect. Even though she drew a clear line with her father and brother back then, she is still their daughter and sister. Can such a relationship allow her to completely sever the family ties between the two parties? But now that the three elders haven't met yet, we can't judge her guilt based on these alone. We can only say that she is the biggest suspect. It seems that now we can only keep these in our hearts and stay in the village for a few days to observe. , I'm sure the ghost is not the two elders, but maybe other villagers.
"Goddess, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Shana's thoughtful look, Granny Pujing couldn't help but ask. From when Shana asked her those questions just now, she felt that the goddess seemed to have discovered something. At this time, seeing Xia Na's eyes moving non-stop, her doubts became more and more serious.
"It's nothing, mother-in-law, I'm just thinking about how to deal with things in Tianwai Village." Shana said perfunctorily. Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked again: "By the way, mother-in-law, how many people are going to accompany you every time you go down the mountain?"
"Although we have to trade crops with people in the towns down the mountain, there are not many people coming down the mountain together." Granny Pujing said with a smile: "You must be wondering why we don't need too many people to transport crops down the mountain. Then It's because the former goddess in the village made several Qiankun bags. On the surface, the Qiankun bag is just an ordinary linen bag, but in fact it can hold several carts of crops. Therefore, every time we go down the mountain, except for the second elder and Besides me, there are only a few male villagers accompanying me."
"That's strange." I glanced at everyone and said, "Don't you think it? If a large number of people are needed to transport crops, it would not be strange at all to ambush Tianwai Village, but if there are only a few people like my mother-in-law, they are How to know the route of mother-in-law and the others? Unless"
Speaking of this, Shana winked at me repeatedly, but Granny Pujing¡¯s expression changed drastically.
"You want to say that someone in our hermit village revealed our whereabouts to Naha, that's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Fool!
Xia Na cursed secretly in her heart. She didn't want to alert the snake in the first place, but now she was exposed by a man who spoke freely.
I looked at Shana with innocent eyes, but she rolled her eyes at me angrily, and could only shrug helplessly and close her mouth.
"Mother-in-law, he is just making random guesses, you don't need to pay attention to him." Shana said with the intention of making up for the situation.
Granny Pujing waved her hand and said: "What he said may not be wrong, but, hey Let's do this, goddess and two guests, I will let someone take you down to rest first. If you have anything to do, please wait for tonight Let¡¯s talk after the dinner, I¡¯m very confused right now and need to be alone, don¡¯t blame me, you three.¡±
We kept saying ¡°no¡±, but Granny Pujing clapped her hands. After a while, outside the templeThen three young girls came in, and Granny Pujing asked them to take the three of us down to rest. We stood up and said goodbye. After walking out of the temple, I quietly poked Shana and said.
"Did I say something wrong just now? Is there really an insider from Tianwai Village in this village?"
Shana rolled her eyes at me angrily.
"You are not smart when you should be smart, but you are very smart when you shouldn't be smart. If there were no insiders in this village, do you think that a reckless warrior can accurately grasp the route and time of my mother-in-law and the others' descent from the mountain? Well, I didn't say it just because I didn't want to alert the snake. I would say it after I found more clues. It would be better for you to reveal it right away. Fortunately, there was only Granny Pujing in the temple. She should take this matter to heart. Don¡¯t say anything nonsense, now I just hope that she won¡¯t behave abnormally and let the insiders in this village get some clues.¡±
I looked into the temple and saw Granny Pujing looking up at the stone statue of the great goddess Nuwa. Her back looked much older. I sighed silently in my heart. I turned around and Shana and I followed three others. The girl walked around the temple and towards the houses at the back.
At this time, the Tianwai Village, which was several hills away from the Hermit Village, welcomed three special guests
Tianwai Village is several hills away from the Hermit Village, but instead of calling it a village, Tianwai Village would be more appropriately called a village.
Unlike the Hermit Village, which has magic restrictions that integrate defense and attack, Tianwai Village has no magic restrictions at all. However, this village that looks like a minority in appearance is made of tall green bamboos. One end is then enclosed to form a defensive fortification building. Within this circle of sharp bamboo walls, an arrow rest is built every ten meters. The arrow rest is ten meters high. The archers above can clearly see anything. Enemies who dare to attack.
These buildings were completely designed to defend against attacks by the Hermit Village. However, over the years, the Hermit Village has not been invaded once. Instead, Tianwai Village has launched raids on the Hermit Village many times. The facilities have not been functioning for many years. As time goes by, the number of people standing guard on the arrow rests has become less and less, but today, there is an archer standing on every arrow rest. Looking from a distance, this Tianwai Village is somewhat powerful.
Naha is very satisfied with the performance of his men.
The reason why we took this action today is to welcome three special guests.
Not only were the samurai from Tenwai Village standing on the arrow platform, but Naha was also standing at the entrance of the village. It was naturally impossible for an idle person to work for him as the village chief, but those few guests did have this qualification.
Naha is nearly eighty years old this year, but in appearance, except for a few strands of silver hair flying at his temples, he looks like a strong man in his forties.
He is nearly two meters tall, with muscles all over his body. This iron tower-like figure does not look clumsy at all, but gives people a sense of flexibility. Naha's skin is dark, and he is simply wearing a cardigan vest. Wearing long trousers, his bare feet were tied with several animal teeth with red ropes. This giant man's open chest was covered with scars, but most of these scars were caused by his own practice. As for his enemies, , rarely able to cause fatal harm to him.
Naha has a leopard tattooed on his left shoulder and left arm, and his seemingly flexible body combined with his ferocious eyes really make him look like a leopard.
An extremely dangerous leopard!
He heard footsteps, there were three of them, so he smiled.
Just as he smiled, three figures appeared in front of the village gate, a man, a girl and a child.
Naha knew his guest was coming.
"Jun Yeyue!"
Naha shouted loudly, the sound was like a loud bell, which made people's ears hurt. He strode to meet his guest.
Pluto smiled slightly and said lightly: "Naha!"
Jun Yeyue's voice was not loud, but it drowned out Naha's loud shout and reached everyone's ears clearly.
Naturally, Naha is also one of those people. With just this sentence, Naha knew that Pluto's cultivation level was just higher than him. This made Naha, who was proud of his martial arts, feel unnatural on his face, but now he has a request. Because of others, Naha suppressed this unhappiness in his heart, pretended to be happy, and hugged Jun Yeyue.
Afterwards, Tianwai Village welcomed the three Plutos with the most solemn etiquette to enter this village that was split from the Hermit Village.
They are all very strong
As Jun Yeyue followed Naha towards the village meeting hall, she looked at the villagers on both sides. These male villagers had bright eyes, walking with a dragon's pace, their steps were steady and powerful, and they seemed to have no weak hands. Of course, Compared to him, Jun Yeyue, he is naturally far worse than Jun Yeyue.Level 1 and a half, but the skills of these villagers are not weak. For a village with such average combat power, Nuwa's name as a guard is indeed well deserved.
In the meeting hall, Jun Yeyue and Naba sat down as guests and hosts. Youruo and the puppeteer did not take their seats, but simply stood behind Jun Yeyue.
In the shadows, next to Pluto, no one else can take a seat.
Naha asked someone to bring drinks, and after drinking three large bowls with Jun Yeyue, he wiped the wine stains on his mouth and said.
"Brother Jun, it's not easy to ask you to come here this time. Brother, I also know that you are busy with things, but if I don't rely on your strength this time, then my days in Naha will come to an end. "
As he spoke, Naha retreated. There were some words that were inconvenient to be mentioned in front of the original villagers of the Hermit Village. Although they were now from Tianwai Village, in their bones, they still believed that they were the guardians of the great God Nuwa. , this tradition formed over thousands of years cannot be changed by him.
"How do you say this? What ability does the Hermit Village have to force you?" Jun Yeyue said lightly. In fact, he knew in his heart that the matter must be related to the so-called goddess who took the Chi You Stone and hid in the Hermit Village. When Naha informed him that he had an urgent matter to discuss, he heard from this rough man that the goddess of the Hermit Village was about to return. From Naha's description of the goddess, Jun Yeyue thought of it. The woman named Shana then set up a series of crises that forced her to rush to the Hermit Village.
The corner of Naha's mouth twitched. Although he was rough, he was not a fool. He had already told Jun Yeyue about the goddess before. He didn't believe that this man who was three points more cunning than a fox could not guess about the goddess. But he also Without saying anything, he took a bowl of wine and drank heavily before sighing and saying.
"It's not because of the return of the goddess from the Hermit Village." Naha slammed the drinking bowl onto the table, and with a bang, the whole table jumped. "I'm not afraid to tell you that our Tianwai Village was split from the Hermit Village by my father. The excuse for the split was because the goddess had left. These villagers thought that the goddess had abandoned them, so they left angrily. Now if they know that the goddess has returned to the Hermit Village, these villagers who regard the goddess as a god in their bones will not go back immediately, so please brother Jun, please think of a way for me."
Jun Yeyue took a sip of the rice wine brewed by Tianwai Village. It was one part sweet and nine parts spicy. I wonder if Naha's current mood was as hard to swallow as this wine. This was the reason for gaining power back then, but now it has become the biggest The problem is really funny!
Pluto remained calm. He took a deep look at Naha. For some reason, Naha felt a little guilty.
Jun Yeyue said: "No one else is present here, let me make it clear, Naha, what you care about is not the ownership of the Hermit Village, nor the control you have been talking about, but that you get the Hermit Village It¡¯s what you can get from taking control.¡±
Pluto's understatement shocked Naha. His back arched slightly. Suddenly, Youruo, who was standing behind Pluto, sensed a strong murderous aura. The girl raised her finger and was about to take out the Scythe of Nothingness, but Jun Yeyue gently held his hand.
Jun Yeyue looked at Naha, and Naha looked at Jun Yeyue, their eyes clashing invisible in the air.
After a while, Naha sighed, his body relaxed, and the tense atmosphere in the meeting hall immediately disappeared.
"Brother Jun, what kind of man are you? I asked myself that this purpose has never been disclosed to outsiders, but how could you see it? Could it be that I wrote it on my face?"
"It's just simple reasoning." Jun Yeyue said calmly: "If you just want to get the Hermit Village, I think you can achieve your goal long ago. You said that you have ambushed the Hermit Village several times. On the route that the great elder and his subordinates took down the mountain, although they took advantage of every location, they fell short several times. With your force, if you attack with all your strength, even I can't guarantee that you will escape unscathed, but you still let the Hermit Village's The people retreated safely. This is because you are unwilling or unable to take their lives. And you were able to know the route of the people in the Hermit Village early in the morning. This is because you are in the village. If you want to take their lives, If you go to the Hermit Village, you should have succeeded long ago through internal responses and the force of the Tianwai Village. But now you have not only failed to succeed, but you are also unwilling to take the life of the elder. In this way, there is only one possibility. You don't want to get the Hermit Village. , but you want to get something in the village, and it is something that only the elder knows, so you are so worried, isn't it?"
"Tsk, brother Jun, you are really amazing." Naha couldn't help but applaud him. He didn't expect that Jun Yeyue could tell so many things from the clues in his words, but Naha was also a little panicked. , this man is not only powerful in martial arts, but also superior in mind and intellect.He chose to cooperate with him. He didn't know whether he would seek skin from a tiger, but when he thought about it, Naha asked himself that Jun Yeyue also wanted something from him now, so he shouldn't shoot him in the back.
¡°So Brother Jun, in your opinion, how can I get what I want?¡±
"Of course I have a way to do this, but" Jun Yeyue paused for a moment, and after seeing Naha's nervous expression, he said, "But, I need to know first, what is the thing that summoned Chi You?"
Hearing the word Chi You, even a bold person like Naha couldn't help but feel his heart beat wildly. He cursed Pluto in his heart, this madman, for even Chi You wanted to be resurrected. However, even if he got such a thing, he couldn't. Instead, use that thing to get this lunatic to cooperate with you.
So Naha chuckled and said, "Look at me, I forgot about this."
Naha patted his head, but saw that Pluto was just looking at him coldly. He could only laugh twice, glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "That thing is called Chi You Monument. According to my father, When the great goddess Nuwa was about to fly to the sky, she had a premonition that Chiyou would be in trouble in the future, so the great goddess Nuwa used her own essence and blood to create a goddess, and then selected our ancestors as the guardians of the goddess. After the great goddess Nuwa flew to the sky, the first generation of goddesses exhausted their minds. , created the Chi You Monument, an artifact that could seal the demon god Chi You's body. Many years later, Chi You was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor, and his soul was sealed in five Chi You stones by the Yellow Emperor. Only the demon god's body, the Yellow Emperor also took it. There was no way, so the goddess of that period finally sealed it with the Chiyou stele, and then enshrined it together with another Chiyou stone in the temple of the Hermit Village. Until a hundred years ago, the goddess of that generation ran away from the village, and the Chiyou stone also Missing, that's why our Tianwai Village split from the Hermit Village. If Brother Jun can help me get what I want, I will tell Brother Jun how to get the Chi You Monument, otherwise, Outsiders cannot touch the stone tablet. Inside the temple, if an outsider touches the stone tablet, it will turn into a pile of powder if he or she is not from the village."
Naha's words successfully made Pluto look thoughtful, but Naha secretly chuckled in his heart. Even if the Chiyou Monument left the village and outsiders could touch it, as long as he wanted to break the seal on the Heavenly Monument, the Chiyou Monument would automatically Crush, you take it for nothing.
Of course, this time I knew that Naha was just hiding it in his heart, but when Pluto looked at Naha, he had all kinds of thoughts in his heart.
This Chiyou Monument should not be fake, but looking at Naha's appearance, it is clear that there are still some things that have not been explained clearly, but it does not matter, as long as you give yourself some time, everything will always have a solution.
With a hint of arrogance, Pluto thought so, so he nodded and said.
"Okay then, I will fully cooperate with you to get what you want."
In Tianwai Village, a clear sound of "dang" came from the meeting hall.
Hearing that Pluto was finally willing to nod, Naha immediately stood up and walked to Jun Yeyue, and had a bowl of wine with him.
After finishing the spicy wine, Naha laughed and said, "Brother Jun, with your help, why worry about not succeeding?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Jun Yeyue's mouth.
"Naha, you've given me the prize. I wonder what kind of things do you want from the Hermit Village?"
"Purifying water halberd!" Naha said the thing outright without hiding his desire to get it. As soon as he mentioned this divine object, Naha's eyes began to turn slightly red: " I heard from my late father that that thing is a sacred object, but unfortunately, its whereabouts may only be known to the elders or goddesses. If Brother Jun can help me get this thing, I will offer the Chi You Monument with both hands!"
