The head of urban peach blossom

Chapter 449 Immortal Immortal!

Seeing Hua Xiaolou's hesitant expression, Alice looked happy, and continued: "The important thing is, you are very clear that I am already practicing now, right? Doesn't cultivation require more experience?"

"But Alice, I don't know what kind of place that place is..."

"I'm not afraid! With you here, I believe there is nothing that cannot be solved!"

What words in the world are more beautiful than this?This is a big beauty, and even a princess. If any man hears this sentence, he will feel full of pride and sense of accomplishment, right?

Therefore, Hua Xiaolou was full of pride immediately, looked at Alice and said, "Okay, then let's go for a break together!"

In the afternoon of that day, the two each rode a horse and set off towards the north.

Henry, Batu, Harry and the two guards begged repeatedly, but Hua Xiaolou still refused to allow them to go, and asked them to stay in the castle and wait for news.

"drive!"

Alice let out a coquettish cry from time to time.

Riding on horseback, she looked even more heroic, her hair glowed with a charming golden luster under the setting sun, making Hua Xiaolou sneak peeks from time to time...

"Hey, haven't you seen enough?"

Suddenly, Alice turned her head and asked with a half-smile.

"Cough..." Hua Xiaolou coughed in embarrassment, and then laughed again: "How can I see enough? The beauty of Her Royal Highness is enough to be admired for a lifetime."

"Spoof! Hey, let me ask you, do you often say such things to other women?"

"How is it possible?" Hua Xiaolou said seriously, "I can swear, this is the first time I've said this!"

Yes, it is indeed the first time.After all, he just said he was addressing her as a princess, and the other women are not princesses...

Running all the way, you can see some villages or small towns from time to time along the way.

According to Lily, there may still be pure natives on this island, but even if there are, they live in the deep mountains.Most of the people living on the island are descendants of pirates, adventurers and local aborigines.

The vast majority of residents never leave the island all their lives, and live a life that is almost isolated from the outside world by farming, fishing, and hunting.

After running for almost three days, Hua Xiaolou and Alice began to approach their destination.

However, because they were not familiar with the terrain, the two strayed into the deep mountains.After wandering around for a long time, Hua Xiaolou suddenly pulled the rein, and looked at a village in the valley with a dazed expression.

A funeral is going on in the village, the mourning hall is set up, the black gauze is pulled, and the sound of suona can even be heard faintly... This scene is very familiar, why does it feel like a custom in China?
"What's wrong?" Alice wondered.

"Look at the village below..."

"Looks like a funeral is going on?"

"That's right, I feel a bit like our Chinese custom, let's go down and have a look!"

After Hua Xiaolou approached the village, he became more certain about his guess.Judging from the appearance and clothing of the villagers, they really looked like ancient Chinese costumes.

When the villagers saw Hua Xiaolou's arrival, they were a little surprised.

"Hello, are you Chinese?"

Hua Xiaolou asked this question in Chinese on purpose.

"what?"

Hearing this pure Huaxia language, the people in the village were a little excited and surrounded them one after another.Listening to their language, they are really Chinese, but the accent is a bit thick, and even Hua Xiaolou can't understand when they speak too fast.

After some conversations, Hua Xiaolou knew their origins.

It turned out that they were really Chinese.However, it was called differently in ancient times.

Hundreds of years ago, their ancestors formed a fleet to go out to sea for trade, but later encountered pirates.Those pirates robbed them of their goods, but instead of killing them, they forced them to join them.

Later, the pirates had internal strife, and their ancestors robbed two ships and ventured to this island and settled down here.

For hundreds of years, they have kept in mind the teachings of their ancestors, neither stealing nor robbing, and living by farming and hunting.They have learned many languages, but they are determined not to intermarry with foreigners, but try to find Chinese people to intermarry on the island, including going to the castle.

Passed down from generation to generation, although the population is not prosperous, they can still survive anyway.

"So it's like this, it's really not easy!" Hua Xiaolou said with emotion.

"It was not easy before, and it is even more difficult now!" an old man sighed.

"what happened?"

"Look..." The old man pointed to the mourning hall: "In the past two months, three strong men have died in our village."

"Three strong men?" Hua Xiaolou was a little surprised: "How did they die?"

"We also want to know..." The old man said with a sad face: "They all went to the mountains to collect medicine or hunted and died in the mountains. When their bodies were found, they were already in bad shape, as if they had been roasted dry."

Hearing this, Alice couldn't help asking: "Could it be killed by a wild beast?"

"It doesn't look like it!" The old man shook his head: "There are no scars on their bodies, it's just, just..." The old man hesitated to speak.

"Just what?"

"Village Chief, Third Aunt is looking for you..."

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and said something softly to the old man.

"Oh, I'll be there right away!"

When the old man left, Hua Xiaolou couldn't help frowning and walked towards the mourning hall.

In the middle of the mourning hall, there was a coffin, and there was a portrait of the deceased in front of it. It should not look too old. He was in his thirties, with a square face, and he looked really strong.

A middle-aged woman and two other children were kneeling in the mourning hall, sobbing, presumably they were the wife and children of the deceased.

"very pitiful!"

Alice then walked in, and couldn't help sighing when she saw this situation.

Hua Xiaolou glanced at the coffin, and whispered to the woman, "Ma'am, can you open the coffin for me to have a look at?"

"what?"

The woman froze for a moment, then shook her head desperately with tears in her eyes: "No, I can't let my husband be disturbed anymore."

"Sister, I am not interfering, but want to avenge him!"

"revenge?"

"That's right, I suspect that your husband was hurt by some kind of weird creature in the mountains, so I want to check..."

While talking with the village head, Hua Xiaolou noticed something wrong with the village head's eyes.At that time, he looked at Alice with some embarrassment, thinking that he was embarrassed to say something in front of the woman.

Coupled with the death conditions of the three strong men mentioned by the village chief, Hua Xiaolou couldn't help but think of the Taoyao she met before. .

So he suspected that similar spirits might have appeared in this mountain.

But doubts are doubts. You have to see the corpse yourself and examine it carefully to be completely sure.

"This eldest sister, let him have a look, he has learned Taoism, it's very good..." Alice helped persuade.

"Really?" the woman asked in surprise.

"of course it's true!"

Hua Xiaolou secretly gushed out a burst of true energy, which directly made the woman stand up straight involuntarily.

"Fairy, fairy!"

This time, the woman was completely convinced, and quickly knelt down again, and kowtowed at Hua Xiaolou...
