Chapter 348 Shelter in the Netherworld (4)
“Madam, don’t stand, sit on the kang quickly.”
Yuan Hu walked towards the woman distressedly and pulled her to sit on the kang. On the hot stove.
"How can I be so squeamish? I've been sleeping all day, so it doesn't matter if I stand for a while." Siniang said with a smile.
"You are getting older this month, so you still have to be more careful."
Then, Yuan Hu said to Liu Sheng embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Fairy Liu, for neglecting me."
"It doesn't matter, family is the most important thing." Liu Sheng expressed his understanding.
"Fairy Liu, please sit down and drink some water...I'm sorry, there is no tea at home."
He poured some water from the teapot into a large porcelain bowl, nervously and carefully The ground was brought up to Liu Sheng.
"Don't be so nervous." Liu Sheng said, "You must also be able to see that in the eyes of your village chief Yao, I am not the kind of immortal who can save you."
Si Niang was very curious about this and opened her eyes wide.
Yuan Hu shook his head and said: "But immortals are immortals. Even if you lose your cultivation later, your physical fitness is stronger than ours, and you can live better than us here."
“Wait a minute, you said you lost your cultivation?” Liu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Yuan Hu and Siniang looked at each other, somewhat surprised.
"Didn't Village Chief Yao tell you?" Yuan Hu said hesitantly.
Seeing that Liu Sheng's expression did not change, he sighed:
"Under the cold night, monks will slowly lose their cultivation and no longer have aura..."
Liu Sheng suddenly understood, no wonder That Yao Chunshan looked down upon immortal cultivators so much, and had a strange expression when talking about Liu Sheng.
So you are waiting here!
However, the reason why a cultivator loses his cultivation should be: he has been unable to absorb spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy in his Dantian is only consumed, not replenished; and he has been immersed in the rich evil energy for a long time, and the spiritual energy circuit is destroyed. , it will cause damage to the root bones in the long run.
For her, leaving tomorrow will have no impact.
The world sensed Liu Sheng's thoughts and silently only agreed with the second half of the sentence.
"Then why do you think that immortal cultivators can save you?" Liu Sheng was a little confused about this.
If the immortal cultivator is so useless here, how can he plead as a savior?
“This is what Village Chief Yao said. If we want to escape from the cold night, we can only wait for the immortal cultivator to descend from the sky and rescue us.”
"But she also said that it is not something ordinary cultivators can do..."
At this time, Siniang added softly from the side: "Village Chief Yao said that he wanted cultivators from the three major immortal sects. "
"Oh, yes, madam, you are smarter, I can't remember clearly."
After being praised like this by her husband, Si Niang felt helpless and funny, with a dark and thin face. A slight blush.
Yuan Hu’s eyes fell on Liu Sheng’s very coquettish robe that shone with golden light: “So I see Fairy Liu, you are dressed like this...”
"And that healing technique, I haven't seen those cultivators in the village use it before!" Yuan Hu scratched his head, "That's why I thought..."
Liu Sheng understood the unfinished words. :
That’s why there was such a misunderstanding...
“It’s about time.”
At this time, Siniang suddenly said softly, her eyes falling on the engraving in the corner. superior.
Liu Sheng had already noticed that although the furnishings in their room were simple, they still had a small chimney.
Obviously they are preparing for the closing of the spirit protection array.
Yuan Hu immediately looked serious, nodded and said: "Yes, be careful, don't look, don't listen, don't move."
Liu Sheng felt that the obvious flow of the formation disappeared, and The array is closed.
Although Mao Shi usually means dawn, it is still dark outside with no light at all.
It was quiet outside, as if everything was frozen, except for the rustle of falling snow.
"If you don't look, don't listen, don't move, how can you resist if there is something really strange?"
In the silence, Liu Sheng's voice sounded faintly.
"How can we resist? We can only guard carefully and wait for the strong men in the village to rescue us."
Yuan Hu smiled bitterly.
"However, as long as there is no abnormality at all, it usually rarely happens..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Knock knock knock" three times.
The three people in the room looked at each other in surprise.
"I am Grandma Li, the steward next to the village chief." No one answered the door for a long time, and then a voice rang out. This voice was indeed the old woman Liu Sheng heard from Village Chief Yao just now. Grandma's voice.
Yuan Hu was hesitant, and his eyes were even a little blurry. He was about to respond, but his wife covered his mouth.
Liu Sheng nodded, saying well done.
【It was so quiet outside just now, not even the sound of walking, why was there a person standing at the door? 】
【It can only be said that this is not a human being. 】
That thing was a little anxious outside and knocked on the door several times.
"Open the door quickly, it's so cold outside, are you going to freeze the old woman to death?"
Yuan Hu struggled, his wife's strength was too weak, and she almost couldn't hold him down.
Fortunately, Liu Sheng has the method of binding.
Seeing her husband being tied up like a rice dumpling by a bunch of golden tentacles, Siniang was shocked and confused.
But Liu Sheng made a gesture with his index finger on his lips, meaning not to speak.
Siniang chose to be quiet and trust Liu Sheng.
[It seems that this fourth lady has good resilience, much better than her husband. 】
【Those who can survive the cold night to this day must have toughness above the passing line, but it still depends on their willpower. 】The world said.
[Also, luck...] Liu Sheng added.
[Our current luck seems not to be very good. 】
【Let’s solve it first and then talk about it. 】
Liu Sheng repeated his old trick, kneading it into silk with his small tentacles, and looked out through the crack under the door.
As soon as I looked up across the crack in the door, the first thing I saw was a piece of dough tightly stuck to the door. Then I noticed that it was the head of a snow-white humanoid monster with no face and The voice of "Mama Li" persuading the door to open kept coming from the facial features.
But it is not only persuasive, there is another liquid-like hand that is trying to get into the crack of the door to fiddle with the bolt.
Whenever its milky white liquid hand wants to penetrate a little bit, the lantern will cast strands of golden threads, making it curl up.
However, under its unremitting efforts, the candlelight in the lantern is gradually dimming, and it seems that that is the source of the golden thread.
Amidst the mix of knocks on the door and voices, Siniang gradually became a little confused, but she held her stomach and pinched her hands to force herself to calm down.
"If you don't open the door, you will suffer retribution!" The thing finally became fierce, and its voice was distorted and no longer disguised.
It is sharp and shrill, penetrating through the cracks in the room and piercing everyone's eardrums.
Siniang woke up because of this, covered her ears and looked at Liu Sheng.
At this critical moment, Liu Sheng smiled calmly without any panic on his face.
Then the sounds outside stopped, and there was only the sound of a heavy object falling into the snow.
Although this does not mean that Liu Sheng did it, Si Niang had an intuition that this was what the immortal cultivator in front of her who looked like a girl did.
Then a thin shadow flowed under the crack of the door, and finally shrank into Liu Sheng's hand. Siniang could see clearly that it was a black crystal.
Si Niang opened her eyes wide.
Each monster attack will have a quarter-hour pause.
So, she could finally make a slight sound and say: "This is, this is!"
Hearing the faint excitement in Siniang's voice, Liu Sheng asked:
“Do you know what this is?”
"Yes, of course! This is what Village Chief Yao wants to collect. One piece is worth ten contribution points!"
"Yesterday, my husband just went to find this... I didn't expect to come back until early in the morning. . "
Sixiang looked at Yuan Hu who was tied up, with some distress in her eyes.
Liu Sheng coughed lightly and then remembered to let go of Yuan Hu.
Yuan Hu is not awake yet, but the presence that tempted him is no longer there, and he will slowly get better after a while.
"So, you also need this? But... your husband is only a mortal, and it is too dangerous to walk in this cold night."
"But what can we do?" Siniang smiled bitterly and said, "We I need to contribute, because... I'm about to give birth and I need Grandma Li. Help."
"Furthermore, children born in the cold night are very fragile and prone to evil spirits, and they need the elixir and protection of Village Chief Yao."
As she spoke, she lowered her tired eyes. , caressing the bulging belly, the broken voice was filled with unwillingness and helplessness.
“And these all require contribution points.”
