Martial arts crossing rivers and lakes

Chapter 143
After accepting Li Feiyu as his apprentice, Jiang Hu first passed on his "good luck", and then asked Han Li to teach him how to grow spiritual herbs and refine medicine. Practiced.

The days that followed were peaceful and peaceful.

Jiang Gourd is naturally happy and peaceful, which is more conducive to his practice.

With the help of a large amount of "Huanglong Pill" and "Jin Sui Pill", he spent more than half a year, and finally raised his cultivation to a higher level, to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Finally reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, I can do that." Jiang Hu thought to himself.

He immediately arranged Han Li and Li Feiyu's homework and affairs for the next period of time, and immediately left Qixuanmen and went down the mountain.

Li Feiyu and Han Li saw that their master didn't intend to tell them what they were going to do, so they wisely didn't ask.

As for other people from Qixuanmen, they dare not even ask about the personal affairs of this "Master Doctor Jiang".

When he came down the mountain, he asked the way and drove westward, and within a day, he arrived at a place called "Niujia Village".

It was noon at that time, the sun was high, and although it was early autumn, it was still quite hot and stuffy. After walking for a long time, Jiang Gourd felt his mouth dry and tongue dry.

He drank all the water prepared in Najie, so he couldn't turn the "cold jade bed" into water to drink. He immediately entered this "Niujia Village", looking for a simple and honest family, and begged for two bowls of cold water to drink. , Quench your thirst.

However, after he entered the "Niujia Village", he saw the closed doors of every house. Using the "Sky Eye Technique" to take a look, he found that the villagers in the "Niujia Village" were all hiding in the house, and everyone was very nervous. The frightened expression seemed to be hiding from something.

Jiang Hu randomly found a family that seemed to be a little richer, and stepped forward to knock on the door of their house.

When the family heard Jiang Gourd's knock on the door, their faces turned pale with fright, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

They were all at home, but none of them came to open the door for Jiang Hu.

Jiang Hu gently knocked on the door a few more times, but the family still refused to open the door for him. He smiled helplessly and said softly, "Brother and sister-in-law, can I have two bowls of water with you? I can give you some money."

The terrified men and women in the room did not dare to answer.

Jiang Hu asked warmly: "What's the matter with the people in your village? Why are you all hiding in your house? Are you hiding from some kind of monster?" Then he knocked on the door several times. The knocking action is never too heavy.

The men and women in the room were slightly relieved when they heard what he said, and every time he knocked on the door and spoke in a gentle tone, they let their daughter hide under the bed before going up to open the door for Jiang Hu , The man still held a hoe tightly in his hand.

The door was opened, and they saw that Jiang Hu was alone, and saw that he was handsome, with a dusty temperament, and well-dressed, and they breathed a sigh of relief, finally let go of their hanging hearts, and invited Jiang Hu in.

This is a relatively well-to-do farmer's family. The owners are a middle-aged couple. They have a daughter who is just in their twenties and who was born quite pleasantly. , Let the daughter who was hiding under the bed come out.

The middle-aged woman poured two bowls of water for Jiang Gourd and let him drink without asking him for money.The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "This young man looks like a scholar. After drinking these two bowls of water, let's hurry up and get on the road. The farther away from the 'Niujia Village', the better."

Jiang Hu said: "What's the matter, did you encounter a man-eating monster in your village?"

When the daughter heard what he said about "monsters", she looked like a fool who was reading a book. She felt a little funny in her heart, but now the whole family was facing an unknown danger, so she couldn't laugh no matter what.

The middle-aged man said: "Monsters are nothing, they are meant to frighten naughty children, but those 'beasts' are no different from man-eating monsters! Young master, you should go quickly, get out of here, let those 'beasts' 'If I see you, I will definitely rob you of all your wealth, and maybe even arrest you and take you to the stockade!"

The daughter said: "Are you still arresting him? Isn't it only arresting women?" As she spoke, she couldn't help being terrified. Although he was young and inexperienced, he didn't know what those women in the village were doing. Very few women came back in the end, and all the women who came back lived in the village like walking corpses. The villagers took a detour when they saw it, and they roughly understood that it must be a very dark thing.

The middle-aged man said: "You don't know, there are 'beasts' in the village who like men with delicate features, fine skin and tender flesh!" The 'beast' is caught in the stockade, and it is worse than a woman!"

Just as he was talking, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside, one after another.

"Da da da da da..."

"Hurry up, hide your daughter! You...you hide too!" The middle-aged man hurriedly said to his wife, and rushed to close the door.

The middle-aged woman immediately took her daughter and hid her under the bed, letting her hide inside.

"My lord, those 'beasts' are here, you can't leave right now, hide with us first! Avoid this for a while, and then you go." The middle-aged man said to Jiang Hu, say it, and pull He hides in the closet.

Jiang Hu didn't know what was going on at this time, so he followed the middle-aged man and hid in the closet.

Hiding in the closet, he silently activated the "Sky Eye Technique", and his vision penetrated through the mortal objects such as the closet and the wall, and he saw the scene in the village.

Dozens of horse thieves broke into this "Niujia Village" on horseback, and the horseshoes picked up dust all over the place.

"A group of stupid dirt lumps, is it useful to hide at home? Why don't you get out of here!" the leader of the horse thief shouted.

"Jiu Dang said, get out obediently, otherwise, we will find out later and kill your whole family on the spot!" The pony thief next to Jiu Dang said loudly.

The head of Jiu slapped the young man on the forehead with a "slap", and cursed: "His grandma, are you teaching me how to do things? And kill the whole family...kill the whole family, and in a few years we will eat What should I do if I’m not full? You don’t understand what the second master is saying in your ear every day, ‘Don’t go fishing in the dry marsh,’ do you?”

The young man was slapped by Master Jiu, and hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand! Master Jiu is a good teacher!"

Jiu Dangjia touched his forehead, and said: "Take my brothers to search from house to house, rice noodles, oil, salt, pigs, cattle, sheep... and pretty girls, search them all for me, and I will count them later."

The young man said: "Yes, yes!" As he said that, he was about to lead the horse thief to search from house to house.

A burly one-eyed man suddenly said: "Wait, if you see a handsome man, bring him here too!"
