"No need to thank you, I just want to ask for directions." Lin Yun stood in front of the bed and asked calmly.
The old man nodded loyally: "My dear friend, if you have any questions, just ask. Although I have limited legs and feet, I still know a lot of things."
Lin Yun asked: "I want to know in which direction the Tianyun Kingdom is and how far away it is."
"The Kingdom of Destiny? I've heard of it before. It's said to be in the northeast. As long as you follow the direction of sunset and walk 40 degrees northward, you can reach the Kingdom of Destiny." The old man said in one breath.
After saying that, he started coughing violently.
Tongxin immediately patted the old man's back gently with his hand, but the cough still didn't get better.
When Lin Yun saw this, he palmed his hands, and a pill appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"You answered my question, and this is your reward." Lin Yun handed the elixir to Tong Xin.
After Tongxin took the elixir, she looked up at Lin Yun in confusion: "What is this?"
"Eating it can cure all diseases." Lin Yun said lightly.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Tongxin's eyes widened in surprise: "Can this really cure any disease?"
The old man on the side did not speak, but looked at the elixir in surprise.
Although he didn't believe that taking this medicine would cure his illness, the old man still took it without hesitation.
Just a few breaths after swallowing the elixir, the old man stopped coughing.
"Eh? You're not coughing anymore?" The old man's eyes widened in surprise, full of disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, the old man was able to sit up from the bed on his own. He instantly became energetic and his whole person was completely renewed.
"My body seems to be able to move!" The old man couldn't restrain his excitement. He immediately opened up the old bedding, stretched his legs and got out of bed to move around.
The childlike innocence looked at the old man with surprise and jumped up for joy.
"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable! My illness is really cured, this is really like a living god descending to earth!" The old man said several unbelievable words in a row, and he was very excited.
He then turned to look at Lin Yun, his eyes full of gratitude and respect.
"My benefactor, please accept my obeisance." The old man knelt down on the spot and bowed respectfully to Lin Yun.
"Thank you, brother!" Upon seeing this, Tong Xin also knelt down and kowtowed, her admiration for Lin Yun in her heart reaching its peak.
Just one pill cured the serious illness in an instant. In the eyes of a ten-year-old girl, this was as magical as a magic spell!
"It takes a little effort." After Lin Yun finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"My benefactor, please stay."
The old man hurriedly stopped Lin Yun: "My benefactor's great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by me. It's a pity that we don't have money at home and only have some dry food left. Please take my benefactor with you on the road."
"No need." After Lin Yun left these words, he walked away like an immortal.
The old man immediately chased him out with his childlike innocence, and watched Lin Yun leave with great gratitude.
As soon as he walked onto the street, Lin Yun heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from a distance.
The villagers on the street scattered to both sides in fear and hid in the alleys.
Several tall horses rushed into the village and galloped on the road.
The men riding on the horses were all strong and fierce-looking, with weapons on their waists and full of murderous intent.
Seeing these people, the villagers were so frightened that they all huddled in the alleys and did not dare to come out.
"Oops! They're from Black Wind Village. Why are they here again?"
"This group of bandits must be up to no good. It looks like someone is going to suffer again!"
Several tall horses stopped in the middle of the street, blocking Lin Yun's path.
The one-eyed man at the head pulled out the scimitar from his waist and protested to everyone in a rough voice: "Everyone, listen up, our leader of the village needs a virgin as a sacrifice to worship the gods. You are limited to one hour to offer it.
Otherwise we will slaughter your entire village!"
After hearing the one-eyed man's words, the whole village was so frightened that their faces were filled with fear and despair.
Everyone in the village knows that the village leader is a pedophile and a heinous pervert!
On the surface, he abducted virgins in the name of worshiping the gods and bless them for peace, but in fact, he used these virgins to vent his animal desires.
As long as a virgin falls into his hands, the fate will be extremely miserable and painful.
For a time, many virgins retreated into their boudoirs, closing the doors and windows tightly, not daring to show their faces.
Tong Xin also hid behind the old man in fear, but was blocked by the old man with his body.
Soon there was a white-haired old man, holding a wooden crutch, hobbling up to a few bandits. He smiled apologetically at them like a grandson meeting a grandfather and said: "Masters, haven't you already made sacrifices this year?"
? How come..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, a scimitar was placed on his neck, causing him to shut up.
The one-eyed man looked at the old man condescendingly: "You are the village chief, right? If our village leader says you want to worship, you must worship. Where the hell did you come up with all this nonsense? Why don't you hurry up and pick someone!"
"And prepare some wine, meat and wine for our brothers and a few young ladies. Do you hear me? If you dare to disobey my order, your head will be moved immediately!"
After hearing what the one-eyed man said, the white-haired old man was so frightened that his legs became weak and his whole body was trembling. The crutch in his hand slipped and he fell directly to the ground.
Several bandits burst into laughter, and their laughter was full of endless ridicule.
"What a useless piece of trash. I'm so scared that I can't even stand up."
"These ordinary people who have not practiced cultivation are really weak. I can easily defeat them with one finger."
While the bandits were not paying attention, Tong Xin's grandfather immediately whispered to Tong Xin: "Hide in the house quickly, get under the bed and don't come out."
After hearing this, Tongxin hurriedly rushed to the house in panic. Although the house was not far away from her, she accidentally fell down halfway and made a soft "plop" sound.
The laughter of several bandits suddenly stopped and they turned their heads to follow the sound, just in time to see Tong Xin throwing herself forward on the ground.
When Tong Xin's grandfather saw this, he subconsciously looked back. When he saw Tong Xin on the ground, his face instantly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
"Hey, doesn't that happen to be a virgin?"
"She looks pretty cool, so I'm sure the village owner will like her."
"I think the girl is good, so I'll choose her!" The one-eyed man winked at the bald man beside him.
The bald man understood this and immediately got off his horse and walked towards the childlike heart step by step.
After hearing this, Tongxin shivered in fright. Regardless of her painful body, she hurriedly got up from the ground, rushed into the house with all her strength, and then closed the dilapidated wooden door.
The childlike grandfather knelt down directly in front of the bald man, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master, please don't do this, I only have one granddaughter left. She is still a child and has just turned ten this year. Please let her go!"
