C559 Villages
The elder held a torch in his hand. The flickering flame shocked Lin Feng who suddenly opened his eyes.
Lin Feng was also full of doubts. He never would have thought that there was someone else in this kind of place other than the group of people being sent over.
Moreover, whether it was from the outside or the inside, the old man in front of him was an ordinary old man.
"Elder, do you live here?" After confirming that the other party would not be in any danger, Lin Feng asked.
At the same time, he also quietly informed Qin Chulan and the others of the method to see the old man.
Even though it was an inquiry, it could be considered an investigation into the news here.
"That's right, you youngsters, where did you all come from?" Nodding, the old man asked again.
It had probably been a long time since he had seen a stranger, but the old man appeared to be rather polite.
"Oh, we're from outside the city, we've never been here, so we came here to take a look." Lin Feng panicked a little.
"What's so good about this kind of place? You youngsters just like to stir up trouble." Lin Feng did not reveal his strength, so he looked like an ordinary young man.
The elder began to teach them a lesson in an elder's tone.
Qin Ruo had always been in the Qin Family, which was a large clan's Celestial Clan. Although their strengths weren't strong, Qin Ruo never thought that one day he would be taught a lesson by an ordinary old man.
He immediately wanted to go up and throw a tantrum, but Lin Feng immediately stopped him.
"The old man taught me a lesson. I don't want to take advantage of my youth to roam the world unrestrainedly. I will regret it if I don't have the ability to do so again when I'm old." Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, what a wild and unrestrained manner. All of you youngsters seem to possess the vigor of an old man when he was younger." These words made the old man burst out in laughter. His tone was filled with praise for Lin Feng and the others.
"Old man, are you the only one here?" After establishing a good relationship, Lin Feng started to probe around here.
"How is this possible?" The old man was a bit different to Lin Feng's words, "Not far from here, there is a village. I live there."
"There's even a village here? This … Can anyone live here? " Qin Ruo, who was on the side, couldn't help but be surprised.
Even if the conditions were harsh, this was still the old man's hometown. When he heard this, he immediately felt unhappy, "Young man, if you can't live with someone, then why is this old man living here so well?"
A scolding that directly hit Qin Ruo made him feel extremely awkward.
Seeing this, Lin Feng tried to smooth things over, "Old man, please don't blame him for staying at home all year round. He has never learned anything about the ways of the world, so he was lacking in manners when he spoke."
"Mm, since you've come all the way here, if you don't mind, you can come to my house and rest." Nodding his head, the old man no longer had any intentions of reprimanding them. Instead, he sent an invitation to Lin Feng and the others.
And from his mouth, Lin Feng also heard a very interesting thing, "In a while, the Spirit Severing tide will come, so it's not appropriate for us to go out."
"Then I'll be troubling you." Lin Feng directly thanked him.
The three of them followed the old man towards the village.
Along the way, Lin Feng also asked about the general situation of this place.
In the old man's village, there were only a few dozen families that relied on fishing and hunting for their livelihood.
Considering what they had discovered previously, ordinary people like them could indeed live in such a place.
As for the Spirit Severing Wave that the old man spoke of, it was a phenomenon that would appear for less than half a year.
At that time, the headless Undead would start moving towards a specific location.
"I don't know what's going on, but the Spirit Severing Wave that used to appear half a year ago has been brought forward by a lot." Arriving at the old man's house, he poured hot tea for the three of them and asked curiously.2
On the way here, Lin Feng had already noticed that the whole village was surrounded by closed gates and no one was walking around.
It was probably all to avoid the Spirit Severing Wave.
"But as long as you stay in the house and don't go out, then there's nothing to be afraid of." The old man then stood up with relief and instructed, "You guys stay here to rest first, I'll prepare some food."
"Thank you, old man!"
With Lin Feng's thanks, the old man's figure disappeared from the room.
"Looks like what the old man said about the abnormality must have something to do with Qin Loong coming over here." After the elder left, Lin Feng spoke with a serious expression.
The other two nodded their heads. This guess was extremely reasonable.
"But, those Headless Ghost do not have much strength. What is Xiao Long's purpose in summoning them?" Qin Chulan was slightly puzzled.
"No matter what his goal is, when the time comes, we will follow him and find out," Lin Feng then voiced out his thoughts, "Without that guy's position, the Spirit Severing Wave might be able to help us find him!"
"Ah?" We have to follow them too? " Qin Ruo's face was filled with unwillingness.
"Of course, do you really think that you are an ordinary person who has taken refuge here?" Lin Feng asked instead of answering, which made Qin Ruo speechless.
"When it's time to eat, I'll ask the elderly for more information and have them fall asleep. Then, we'll start to act."
"Don't hurt this old man!" Qin Chulan warned him suddenly.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just letting him sleep for a while. It won't affect him in any way." Lin Feng smiled. He never thought that Qin Chulan, who was as cold as an iceberg, would have such a side to her.
While they were chatting, the elder had finished cooking.
When he came over with the tray, it could be seen that the old man was deliberately entertaining Lin Feng and the others with this meal.
"I haven't seen many foreigners either. I casually cooked a few dishes, but I don't know if it suits your tastes." As he placed the dishes onto the table, the elder spoke with a trace of apology.
"It's all in line with my taste. I've been out in the open the whole time. I'm quite satisfied with having such a delicious meal." Lin Feng quickly replied.
The old man was so polite, he didn't even have the face to make a move.
"Oh, that's right. After chatting so much, I still don't know the old man's name!" While chatting and eating, Lin Feng suddenly slapped his forehead and asked.
"No need to mention my surname. Both of us are fated to be together. Just call me Old Master Loong."
"Hello, Old Master Loong. I am Lin Feng. These two are my Junior Sister Qin Chulan and Junior Brother Qin Ruo." Lin Feng took advantage of the situation in time.
Of course, Qin Chulan would not object to this, even though his expression changed slightly.
"Alright, alright, you guys hurry up and eat. I've already helped you clean up your room." Old Master Loong let out a hearty laugh and finally got to know each other.
After eating and chatting for a while, Lin Feng and the others arrived at the room after eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Even though it was simple and crude, it shielded itself from the wind and the rain, bringing warmth to the region.
