Seven Demons

Chapter 260

The bullying prestige passed by, and Chen Er hugged his body with his hands. Because his clothes were too thin and he didn't have the vitality to be like a mortal, he felt a little cold all over his body.In Zhao State, Chen Er gained some insight. Zhao State is not as well-regulated as Qi State's cultivation world, and here is relatively turbulent.

Looking at the sky at this moment, the sun in the east has already risen to the middle, Chen Er thought to himself: It's okay!It is noon now, if it is night, it would be more dangerous for a mortal to be in this wilderness, and there is still a daytime, before dark, people must find places like villages or small towns.

Chen Er had just arrived at the edge of the barren mountain by Yutian Feifei. In this barren mountain, it is basically impossible for human beings to live, and it is also very unsuitable for human habitation. Walking is very slow, without the support of vitality, Chen Er also feels very uncomfortable. Tired, it's been a long time since I walked like a mortal.

With the sun, you will not lose your way, because the sun turns to the west, so Chen Er keeps walking in the direction of the sun.After finally passing through the barren mountains, a river greeted us.Chen Er thought to himself: No way!The luck is too bad, just walking out of the barren mountain with difficulty was stopped by this river.

The water in the river is very fast and relatively wide. Although Chen Er is familiar with water, it is basically impossible to swim across it. In this way, Chen Er is distressed. Behind him is a barren mountain with no human habitation. He wants to find people I have to cross this river, but are there any boats nearby? If I go to find wood to build a bamboo raft now, I'm afraid I'll have to work until dark, which will be dangerous. I don't know if there is any nearby. There are no wild beasts.

In desperation, Chen Er had no choice but to walk along the river towards a square, walking and walking!Finally in the front, Chen Er was ecstatic to see that there was a bridge. Although the bridge was very simple, with only four ropes and a few planks, for Chen Er who was embarrassed now, this was quite satisfying.Chen Er quickly ran to the side of the bridge, holding the rope tightly with both hands, and stepped across the bridge carefully step by step.

Chen Er thought to himself: Is there a bridge?It means that there must be mortals living nearby, otherwise, it is impossible for someone to build a bridge here. After crossing the river, Chen Er looked at the front, and there was a green and vibrant atmosphere in front of him, which turned out to be the countryside.And the water in that river is used to irrigate these fields.

In the far distance, Chen Er vaguely saw a small village with many thatched huts built in the middle of the field, and there were a few cows eating weeds in the field.

The black-robed demon ancestor in his previous life was actually a poor man. He used to do farm work such as plowing the fields. Hei-robed demon ancestor did all of them. Seeing a village in front of him, Chen Er hurried over.

In the field, Chen Erfei was running, and when he was tired, he sat next to the weeds to rest.

When the sky was dark, Chen Er finally came to the village. The village was very peaceful, and he thought to himself, at this moment, thick smoke was floating from the chimneys, and he was trapped in a certain farmer's cooking, because Chen Er was like a mortal at the moment, without The vitality supports the body, so it is inseparable from whole grains. Chen Er rubbed his stomach, "Googoo." He even made a sound.

The village is not very big, with only a dozen or so families. Chen Er walked to the first thatched hut in front of the village. The hut only had a simple wooden door. Since it is a rural area, the farmers are not used to closing the door at normal time, so The door was open, and Chen Er walked to the door.

In front of the table in the hut, because the night is coming soon, a child in shabby clothes is carving flint. There is an oil lamp on the table. Maybe the flint is not easy to use. The child carved for a long time and is very serious. , but he didn't notice that there was someone outside the door.

Chen Er coughed lightly: "Ahem."

"Father? You're back?" Xiaotong put down the flint and was about to stand up when he saw a stranger outside the door whom he had never seen before. Since Xiaotong was born in this small village, he had never left and never left. I have never seen a stranger before, so when I saw a person suddenly coming outside the door, I was speechless for a while.

At this time, a woman's voice came from the kitchen: "Is Lao Tian back? If my son's flint can't light the candle, you can pull the candle to light it here! The meal will be hot soon, and the firewood in the stove will soon be extinguished." .”

After a while, there was no response, and the woman came out from the kitchen, only to see a stranger sitting next to the baby, who stared blankly at the stranger.

Chen Er was also born in poverty, so he understood their hearts, Chen Er took the initiative to say hello: "Hehe, hello, I am a distressed person who passed by this person, please take me in for a few days, I will do a lot of work, I can help You farm, I will not eat and drink for free." After the blood in Dantian was stabbed, although the silver needle had been pulled out, it would take eight or nine days to recover, so Chen Er recovered in order to avoid any danger in the outside world. Before, Chen Er planned to settle here temporarily. Of course, Chen Er's additional condition was that he was willing to do any work as long as he was given food and shelter.

Farmers are generally kind and not very good at refusing other people's requests. The woman saw that the strange young man in front of her was kind and not like a bad guy. The woman smiled slightly: "Oh, that's how it is! Then you first Sit down and wait for a while! I’ll go and reheat some food.” Since there are three members of the family, the farmers are relatively economical, and each meal is just enough to cook. Suddenly another person came, so the woman would go in and reheat it meal.

After a while, the head of the family, Lao Tian, ​​came back with a cow. Lao Tian didn't seem to be a hard-to-talk person, and his personality was simple and honest. He didn't say anything when he saw strangers, but just smiled innocently.It doesn't seem to be unpopular either.

The family of three and Chen Er ate like this. Maybe a stranger came suddenly. The woman deliberately added a dish today, and the children beside him were happy outside. He ate deliciously. Chen Er hadn’t eaten food for many years , his stomach was almost empty, and he was hungry because he had no vitality, but Chen Er knew that life in a farmer's family was not easy, so Chen Er stopped chopsticks after eating only half a bowl of rice.

The next day, Chen Er went out to do farm work with Lao Tian. It was early summer, and the rice in the field had just been planted, so a lot of fresh water was needed to irrigate the farmland. Although Chen Er was a mortal, his body was very strong and in good condition. With a long water wheel, he went to the river on the other side of the embankment to pull water.

Chen Er seems to be very proficient in pulling water trucks, and he is also very strong. No young man in the village can match him. Besides pulling water trucks, Chen Er can do all kinds of farm work, and he is not too dirty or tired. Farmers need men like this.

After spending three days in this small village, almost everyone in the village knew Chen Er. Although the village was small, there was also a village head. One evening after finishing the farm work, the village head took the initiative to go to Lao Tian’s house to invite Chen Er. Second, go to his house for dinner.Chen Er also readily accepted.

The village head is the oldest old man in the village. He is over 70 years old. His wife has been dead for many years, but he has a son who is middle-aged, an old woman and a granddaughter. .

He is the only one in the village head's family now, and everyone else has not returned from the farmland.

The village chief has more experience and knows some etiquette. He cupped his hands and said, "Young Chen Er, sit down and eat!"

Chen Er admired the old village chief in his heart. He was quite old. His son and wife were doing farm work outside, and he was not idle at home. eat."

"Hehe, no need, no need." After speaking, the village head gave Chen Er a pair of chopsticks, and the two began to eat.

After a day's work, Chen Er was tired and hungry, how could Chen Er control a meal before him.So Chen Er also swallowed the food frantically.

The village chief also moved his chopsticks from time to time. The village chief looked at Chen Er carefully: "Young Chen Er, where are you from? Why did you come to our Niujia Village? This is a place where no one usually comes!"

This place is located on the edge of Zhao State, and there are barren mountains next to it. It is indeed rare that people come here. Basically, no one comes here. Chen Er said: "Oh! I don't know why. I lost my way. I came here just as I was walking. to here."

The village head glanced at Chen Er: "I don't know if you know that there is a kind of immortal in this world? They can fly high above the clouds."

Chen Er knew that the immortal he was talking about was actually a cultivator, and when he came and went high and high, he was a cultivator flying in the sky. The ones in the sky, I don’t know what they look like? Old village chief, have you seen them?”

After hearing what Chen Er said, the old village chief just nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.

After the meal, the old village head's family didn't come back, they were still busy in the farmland, and the old village head didn't stay with Chen Er. For the past few days, Chen Er stayed at Lao Tian's house.

After returning to Lao Tian's house, Chen Er was lying on a wooden bed with Lao Tian's son next to him. Chen Er recalled what the village chief said, and thought to himself: It's really strange, why did he suddenly ask me if he knew about cultivators?I have no vitality, and I don't have any aura on my body. Besides, even if I have aura on my body, it is impossible for him, a mortal, to sense it.Chen Erzai thought about it carefully: Although I do farm work every day, my body is still different from other farmers, my skin is better than everyone else's, and I don't want to be from a farmer, although I try my best to conceal my temperament It's a mess with the farmers, but there are still many characteristics that cannot be hidden.The old village chief's eyes were really accurate, and he was afraid that he would see through them. Maybe he was just guessing.
