Login with GoogleChapter 35: The Devil Seed
After the conversation with Lu Heng was over, Li Ju and Qian went back.
Qian was very happy because the wolf God had promised to give the heavenly thunder sand. It was a great thing.
However, Li Ju had a serious expression and a heavy heart.
Although the wolf God promised to provide all the heavenly thunder sand and let them use it to cast the sword, such a divine weapon would be appalling, supposing it could really be forged.
Even if it could theoretically be forged, it was only a theory. The difficulty laid far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
He only hoped that with his and Li Po's strength, they could complete the commission of the wolf God.
The old priest sighed in his heart and could not be as optimistic as Qian.
The clan member who informed Li Po to come here had left several days ago. But his Great Sea department was far away from here, so it would take a long time for Li Po to arrive.
During this time, he could only finish the sword furnace first.
Every time the Li tribe migrated to a new anchor point, they had to build a sword furnace on the spot to smelt gold and iron. But this time, in order to fulfill the commission of the wolf God, the framework of the sword furnace built in the past few days probably could not be used, and a new one had to be built that could accommodate both the Mystical True Fire and the Burning Sky Fire.
The old priest immediately started the reconstruction of the sword furnace after he returned to the camp.
And in the Cold Feather Mountain, Lu Heng once again resumed his cultivation. Nowadays, it was obvious that he could not really control the thunder and lightning, so he stopped his useless work and continued to cultivate, waiting for the priest to forge a sword for him.
After inducing six heavenly thunderbolts in a row, Lu Heng disappeared into the underground.
With the disappearance of Lu Heng, the Cold Feather Mountain has settled down. The frightened people of the Wind Raiders all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the thunder and lightning stopping.
The only one who was not affected too much was probably only the villagers of Shuisheng Village outside the mountain.
After all, the villagers did not know the fear of the heavenly thunder, so they did not care.
However, the next day, a big event happened in the village, making the quiet Shuisheng village directly uproarious.
"My water ganoderma! Where's my water ganoderma? What the hell! Who stole my water ganoderma?"
In the early morning, the old village chief's house resounded with heartbreaking howls.
Kneeling by the bed, the old village chief looked at the empty box at the bottom of his bed.
The water ganoderma should be in this box!
According to the teachings of the Li people, he divided the water ganoderma into ten pieces and took one piece every three days, but now he had only eaten two pieces and the rest had disappeared.
"Who stole it! Who!!!"
The old man cried and screamed, hammering the box. He was so angry that he fainted on the spot.
His sons looked at each other and decided to follow the old man's request to find the water ganoderma.
And with all this fuss, most of the people in the village knew that the treasure given to the old village chief by the Li people had been stolen.
But there was no second village within a hundred-mile radius, who was the thief? It must be someone in the village!
This was something that everyone understood.
Next, each of the village chief's sons led people in the village to start looking. The people of Wind Raiders once said, the water ganoderma was a strong medicine, so ordinary people could not bear and must take it in several times.
So the thief must not finish eating the water ganoderma. But honestly, the village chief's sons had little confidence to find the thief, because the thief only needed to hide the water ganoderma to some secluded place, then no one could find it.
But in order to be able to reassure their old father, they had to search the village.
When Xiao Ai went out, she saw such a scene - the son of the village chief had just searched the house of Wang next door and was saying goodbye to her.
Seeing Xiao Ai carrying the wooden basin out, people hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Xiao Ai, going out to wash clothes?"
"Yes," the little girl nodded, looked at the crowd, and said, "Uncle Liu, you can go to my house and take a look, too. Maybe the thief hid something in my house."
The adults quickly waved their hands and refused, "No, no, we'll just go to the next house."
Who dared to offend this little girl in Shuisheng Village?
But Xiao Ai insisted, "You still have to go to the search, and search it carefully. It is not possible that the whole village house are checked, but left my uncle's house...... Please."
The little girl was very serious about this, so they had to agree.
"Good, we will check this house at once. Xiao Ai, you do not have to worry."
"OK," the little girl nodded, and did not stay, carrying the wooden basin directly went away.
As for whether this group of people could search the water ganoderma in the house, she didn't hold the hope. Or rather, everyone knew that this water ganoderma was probably not going to be found.
But the whole village's house was searched, and if no one searched Xiao Ai’s house, there would be gossip later. That's why the little girl insisted that the adults go and search.
Seeing several adults had gone into the house, Xiao Ai then carried the wooden basin to leave towards the river outside the village.
But when she came to the riverside, she found that she had forgotten the pestle used for clothes.
Oh...... only go back and get it.
Xiao Ai silently sighed, put down the wooden basin, and turned around and walked towards the village.
When she went through the village and returned to her home, she saw from afar that the adults who had finished searching the house were coming out, seemingly without any results.
Xiao Ai was not surprised by this and continued to walk towards her house.
Her steps were not fast and her pace was light. When she walked into the yard, she saw that the wooden door was closed. The sound insulation of the wooden room was very poor, So Xiao Ai happened to hear her brother's hoarse voice resounding inside the house.
"Hum ...... a group of fools, you want to get the water ganoderma back? Just mortals like you, it's a waste to eat it!"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Ai froze for a moment, subconsciously stopped, even her breathing slowed down a lot.
The voice rang out in the house was indeed her cousin’s voice. Although low and hoarse, even the tone of voice was completely different from cousin.
But why her cousin was talking about the water ganoderma? Could it be that he was the one who stole the water ganoderma?
Xiao Ai's heart was slightly shocked. Then she heard a low, painful hiss from his cousin in the house.
"Hiss...... damn Gong-Shu Jie, I will not let you go! After I absorb the power in the water ganoderma...."
And outside the house, Xiao Ai’s face was already pale.
Gong-Shu Jie ...... Isn't this the name of Master Wuzhu?
After Master Wuzhu left, everyone thought that the devil seed was not in the village, so everyone was relieved. But if Master Wuzhu had made a mistake? The devil seed did not leave, and had been hiding in the village... Now it possessed cousin?
Xiao Ai immediately thought of her cousin's recent illness, and Grandpa Bai’s medicine was not cure......
And when cousin began to get sick, it happened to be the day that Master Wuzhu came to the village!
Xiao Ai's footsteps were slowly backing up.
At this time, the devil seed in the room said, "Cripple Ai, take the water ganoderma and come here. Hiss...... damn Gong-Shu Jie!"
The wooden voice of the Cripple Ai rang out immediately.
"Yes, master."
Next, the house was temporarily quiet.
While outside the house, Xiao Ai had been completely frightened.
The girl thought of when Master Wuzhu and Lord Mountain God discussing the devil seed, they had mentioned that this devil seed had the ability to control the mind of mortals.
Did uncle get controlled by the devil seed?
Realizing this, the girl's heart became even more nervous.
She held her breath, and slowly stepped backwards. She was afraid of alerting the devil seed in the house.
Must go get help...... No! That thing is a devil, the village people can not deal with it. And she does not know if the rest of the village are also controlled by the devil seed......
Now the only one she can rely on is the Lord Mountain God...... right! Go find the Lord Mountain God!
As long as the Lord Mountain God knows about the devil seed, this devil can not harm people!
Xiao Ai quietly went away from the house, then directly went towards the outside of the village.
However, just as she walked out of the village, she came across her aunt.
The girl instantly stopped her running pace, "Aunt?"
Her aunt seemed normal as usual, nodded and asked, "Where are you going in a hurry?"
"Uh...... I ...... I went to the riverside to get something," the little girl immediately made up an excuse, "I just had something dropped in the river. "
"Then you go," said the woman, "I'll go home first. Today we cook ground potatoes to eat, make sure to come back early."
"Okay," Xiao Ai tried to make a calm appearance, then continued to run towards the river.
But behind her, the woman looked at her and frowned......
