Chapter 215 Escape
"Is this the village where the kid named Lu Qing lives in seclusion?"
"This place is ordinary, but it can give birth to such a peerless genius. The destiny of heaven is indeed mysterious and difficult to guess."
The figure with disheveled hair looked at the quiet mountain village in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.
In the past few days, he spent a lot of time and effort to find out Lu Qing's whereabouts, and then he immediately rushed over without stopping.
However, he didn't seem to sense any powerful presence in the village.
"Did he go out?" the disheveled figure muttered to himself.
He was not in a hurry to enter the village. It was rumored that Lu Qing's master was a mysterious innate realm master who once defeated Wang Cangyi of the Tiancang Sect with one move. It was unknown how strong his master was.
With his current strength, he would still have a hard time fighting against those at the initial stage of the innate realm. Those at a higher level would be even less of a match for him. There was no need to conflict with them.
The disheveled figure immediately decided to lurk outside the village and wait for a few days to see if he could find an opportunity.
Anyway, with his ability, if he really wants to hide his aura, even those at the Innate Realm would find it difficult to detect his trace.
Just when the disheveled figure wanted to hide on the hillside outside the village and wait for the opportunity.
Suddenly, he heard a few words of conversation and his body paused.
"Aunt Ming, where are Ah Qing and the old doctor now? Have they left Cangzhou?"
"How can it be that fast? Our Cangzhou is not small. The carriage that Ah Qing and the others are riding in doesn't look like it can run very fast. It's only been two or three days. It shouldn't be that fast to leave Cangzhou."
"Ah Qing and the others are going to Zhongzhou, but we don't know how far Zhongzhou is or how long it will take to get there."
"I don't know about that. I have never been out of Cangzhou in my life, and I have only been to the county town a few times. But I heard from the old people in the village that Zhongzhou is very far away. Ah Qing and the others may not be able to come back for at least a year or so."
"It's so far. I don't know if Xiaoyan will cry on the way. Being away from home is not an easy thing. Why did the old doctor and his team go so far to Zhongzhou?"
"The old doctor and Ah Qing are all great warriors. How can we understand the affairs of such great men? Didn't you see that even the young master of the Wei family followed Ah Qing? It must be something very important."
The disheveled figure turned around and saw two village women carrying bamboo baskets and chatting as they walked out of the village.
Thinking of the conversation between the two just now, his heart moved, and the expression on his face immediately changed. His body hunched over, and with his shabby clothes, he looked quite pitiful.
"Two ladies, the old man wants to ask you something."
A figure with disheveled hair walked forward, stopped two village women, and said weakly.
"Old man, what's the matter?"
When the two village women saw that it was an old man blocking the road, they stopped.
"I heard that there is a miracle doctor here, who is kind and can cure all diseases, so I traveled for several days to seek medical treatment. I wonder where the miracle doctor lives?"
The figure had disheveled hair and a weak voice, and his clothes looked as if he was sick.
"Old man, are you here to see Doctor Chen?"
One of the village women was a little surprised when she heard this: "You are a step too late. Doctor Chen is no longer at home. He and his apprentice went on a long journey two days ago."
"How could this be?" The dishevelled figure showed disappointment on his face. "I wonder where the old doctor is going and when he will come back. Can I wait for him here, old man?"
"That's probably difficult. Doctor Chen and his team are going to Zhongzhou, which is said to be far away. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for at least a year or so."
The village woman looked at him with some pity; she could see that the old man's health did not seem to be very good.
"Is that so? That's really a pity."
The disheveled figure looked regretful and turned around tremblingly, as if he was about to leave, but there was a flash of evil in his eyes.
"Wait a minute, old man."
Just then, a peasant woman called out to him.
Then he took out two rice balls from the bamboo basket and handed them to him: "It's not easy for you to come here. I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet. I have two rice balls here. They are for the man who works in the fields in my family. You can take them and eat them on the way."
Another peasant woman also took out two vegetable dumplings from her basket and said, "I have some food here too. If you don't mind, please take them."
Seeing that the disheveled figure seemed to be stunned, the two of them stuffed the things into his hands without saying anything.
"Old man, we still have farm work to do. You are old, so be careful on your way back."
After giving the instructions, the two of them hurried towards the fields outside the village.
From beginning to end, the disheveled figure did not move, just watched them leave quietly.
He didn't look away until the two figures disappeared outside the village.
He looked at the rice balls and vegetable balls in his hands and threw them into the ditch beside him.
Naturally, he disdained to eat such cheap food.
"Just consider it as the money for your lives. After all, the lives of you bugs are as cheap as these rice balls."
The disheveled figure chuckled and turned away.
According to his character, anyone who has seen him must be killed.
But after all, they were just two village women and posed no threat to him, so it was okay to let them go.
Moreover, he also vaguely felt that there seemed to be a very powerful aura in the villa not far away. If he acted rashly, it might alert it. He still had to chase Lu Qing, so it was not advisable to create trouble at this time.
"Is it the Xiantian realm of the Wei family? He does have some abilities, and his cultivation is only half a step away from the Xiantian minor success."
"But, you're going on a long journey at this time. Is it a coincidence, or is it that the destiny in the dark is protecting you?"
A strange look appeared in the eyes of the disheveled figure.
"As expected of a son of luck, when danger comes, luck will protect you and you can avoid disaster in advance."
"But the more this happens, the more it shows how extraordinary you are."
"If I can eat you, my bones will definitely undergo an unprecedented transformation."
"Lu Qing, wait! You can't escape from my grasp. You are destined to become my nourishment. Even the destiny of heaven and earth cannot protect you forever. When you fall into my belly, even your destiny will be taken by me..."
Accompanied by the sound of sneering laughter, the figure with disheveled hair gradually disappeared outside Jiuli Village.
At the entrance of the village, there were only a few rice balls lying quietly in the ditch.
No one knew what a terrible evil demon had just been here.
The villagers didn't even know that they had escaped a disaster without realizing it.
