Qin Mu didn't quite understand the reaction of the elders. He blinked and saw that Grandpa Cao Ya was still very calm. He tugged on the corner of Cao Ya's clothes, then took Granny Si's hand and whispered:
"Mother-in-law, don't cry. Both mother-in-law and grandpa are good people, and they will not die. You see, Master Cao is very calm."
The elders were startled and looked at Cao Ya, who was indeed very calm.
They were all a little confused, some were quite dissatisfied, and felt that Cao Ya didn't care about Qin Mu too much, and some were moved in their hearts, thinking that Cao Ya might know some way to make up for it. This was because of Cao Ya's previous behavior and many secrets.
Not sure, but Cao Ya seems to be quite familiar with it.
Whether Cao Ya has a remedy, I don't know for sure.
But at Qin Mu's previous words, all the elders smiled bitterly.
Mr. Ma laughed bitterly at himself and said:
"Good guy? Haha..."
He shook his head and frowned:
"We useless people were forced into the Great Ruins and have survived until now. The Great Ruins are too dangerous. Without us, it will be difficult for Mu'er to survive... We should send him out of the Great Ruins. It is much safer outside."
The butcher's tone was cold, and he said:
"If we send him out, we will be discovered by our enemies and we will all die. He will also be implicated by us and die."
All the elders were worried because Qin Mu was a mortal and could not practice.
But in this world, mortals who cannot practice cultivation cannot even control their own destiny, and they cannot even see clearly at all. They are confused and kept in captivity like cattle and sheep.
You must know that these disabled people in the disabled village are all famous in the outside world and have had a glorious past. However, due to various reasons, they can only retreat to the disabled village deep in the ruins to survive.
day.
After raising Qin Mu for so long, everyone is still very affectionate.
Qin Mu's eyes widened and he said in surprise:
"Why did you die? Master Cao, we went out, why did you die?"
Cao Ya laughed. Qin Mu, who was only eleven or twelve years old at this time, was still very immature and not as thick-faced and sinister as he later became.
In the silent old village, Cao Ya's laughter was quite harsh.
Cao Ya was about to speak, but suddenly his heart moved and he looked at the village chief. The village chief also looked at Cao Ya, suddenly laughed too, clapped his hands and praised:
"Okay, great!"
Everyone else was confused. Forget Cao Ya, why is the village chief also crazy?
Granny Si was puzzled and asked:
"What's good? Village chief, are you out of your mind?"
The village chief glared at Granny Si:
"Nonsense, I have a very good mind."
Then he laughed and said:
"What I mean is that Mu'er has a good physique and is a good young man in cultivation. He is much better than us old guys. He is rare in the ages and is rarely seen in history."
The butcher, the pharmacist, the blind man, the mute and others were all stunned and did not understand what he meant.
Only Cao Ya raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing what the village chief was going to say.
The village chief laughed and said:
"If I read it correctly, Mu'er's physique should be another extremely special spiritual body, a hegemonic body that combines the strengths of the four major physiques."
Granny Si and others showed doubts:
"Tyrants?"
They are all well-informed people, but they have never heard of the name Ba Ti.
The village chief said loudly:
"Yes, it is the Overlord Body! It is one of the strongest physiques in ancient and modern times. It is difficult to activate the Overlord Body with ordinary spiritual blood. It is necessary to collect the blood of the four real spiritual beasts in order for the Overlord Body to appear."
After pondering for a while, he said:
"There are no pure-blooded four great spirit beasts in the Great Ruins, but the descendants of the spirit beasts are not difficult to find. If you continue to capture tigers and big snakes, refine the spiritual blood, and drink too much, you will naturally be able to overpower Mu'er's domination.
The body is stimulated.”
The village chief was very authoritative, and his words were precise and confident. This caused a group of old men and women with missing arms and legs who had originally scorned him to become suspicious when they saw the village chief's confident appearance.
Granny Si became happy and said happily:
"Tomorrow I will accompany the dead cripple to catch big snakes and tigers. Mu'er, you should also go to bed early. You will continue to drink spiritual blood tomorrow."
Qin Mu looked expectant.
He didn't want to see his elders die, so he had to become that hegemonic body, so that the elders wouldn't have to send him out, and his enemies would find him and hunt him to death.
Cao Yayi laughed loudly. Unlike him who was really sure of it, the theory of hegemony was just nonsense made by the village chief and he had no confidence at all. This hegemony was just used to fool everyone. He was worried that they would have a hard time surviving without caring about him.
The pharmacist also seemed to have discovered the truth. He smiled reluctantly, but his eyes were full of worry.
The village chief gave the pharmacist a look, and he understood. His smile became cheerful, but he was even more worried about gains and losses.
The villagers of Canlao Village all have their own origins, but they were all forced to enter the ruins and come to this remote Canlao Village to linger and waste their time. They originally complained about heaven and earth, and their grievances were too heavy.
To be able to survive till now, it must be said that Qin Mu also contributed a lot.
Well, Cao Ya may be the only exception among them.
Although he also has feelings for Qin Mu, it is because he raised Qin Mu. If Qin Mu never showed up, only old guys like them, all the villagers believed that Cao Ya could live here peacefully. If he broke through, even
It is possible to break out of the ruins and then fight with a sword in the sky.
But apart from himself, there is no one in the disabled old village who has a strong Taoist heart like Cao Ya.
The main reason is that Cao Ya understands the truth of this world and travels through time. Of course, there will be no situation where he accidentally discovers the truth of the world and causes his Taoist heart to collapse.
But for other villagers, after their Taoist hearts were broken, they lost much desire for life. They hid in Canlao Village, and they might not stay long before they collapsed and committed suicide. This was exactly what Qin Mu, a little baby with healthy limbs, wanted.
The arrival of Qin Mu dispersed the grievances in everyone's hearts and subtly changed their attitudes. Everyone raised Qin Mu, taught and imparted life experience to each other, and regarded this little boy as their closest relative. Qin Mu maintained the relationship between the disabled villagers and the villagers.
their fragile hearts.
If the villagers knew that Qin Mu only had the most ordinary physique and could not survive alone in the ruins, they would lose control and wonder what they would do.
The pharmacist was very worried.
The village chief had no choice but to try to deceive them and keep hope alive.
Maybe other people were aware of it, but out of their trust in him as the village chief and some unspeakable little thoughts, they were willing to believe this story.
"Village chief..." Cao Ya suddenly said quietly, which startled the village chief. He thought that Cao Ya had also seen the flaw and wanted to expose him in public, so he quickly winked at Cao Ya.
Seeing this, Cao Ya burst into laughter, shook his head, straightened his expression, pressed Qin Mu's shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly:
"Mu'er, your village chief grandfather's domineering body... well, let's not talk about that stuff."
Suddenly, the village chief quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he is also confused. Let’s not talk about his ridiculous domineering physique, then what is Cao Ya going to talk about? He also creates a fictitious physique?
