Douluo: Sword God of Seven Kills

Chapter 168 The Statue of Li Family Village, Mysterious Power

A few days later, Chen Daochu and Yaoyue traveled all the way to the border of the Heaven Dou Empire.

A small village in the distance appeared in front of the two of them, and under the setting sun, smoke slowly rose from the kitchen.

It has a bit of the artistic conception of "warm and distant village, smoke in Yiyixu" in Tao Yuanming's "returning to the garden".

The village is not big, there are about dozens of families, and the village looks a bit dilapidated.

At the entrance of the village, on the top of the wooden gate, there are three crooked words 'Lijiacun'.

This village seems to be very poor, and the houses the villagers live in are all kind of very backward small earthen houses.

This village is obviously the small village oppressed by bandits that Chen Daochu encountered when he came to the inland for the first time.

Chen Daochu solved the bandits here, and sent a little guy here named Li Changsheng to Wuhundian Academy.

At the beginning, he was not strong enough, and if something happened to him with a little guy, it would harm him, and there was no way to go to the village or back, so he could only be sent to the Wuhun Temple.

I don't know how the little guy is doing now?

A few children at the entrance of the village were playing, and on the small road in the village, men in twos and threes walked towards the village with hoes on their shoulders.

The look of being happy and prosperous is very different from the lifeless look of Chen Daochu when he came here for the first time.

Looking at the village that became prosperous because he solved the bandits, Chen Daochu was also happy in his heart.

"Sister Yaoyue, let's find someone to rest here for the night."

"En!" Yaoyue nodded, and the two walked towards the village.

Along the way, everyone in the village was attracted by the luxurious robes and extraordinary temperament of the two.

But no one dared to come forward to talk to them.

After a while, the two walked to the small square in the village.

In the originally empty square, a statue was erected at some point.

The statue is all jade white, with fluttering robes, long hair raised, body squatting, right fist clenched, showing a posture of punching and attacking.

Looking further up, the statue's face is as sharp as a knife and an axe, but it is generally a little immature. It can be seen that the prototype of this statue is not too old.

In front of the statue of white jade, there are some tributes, and men and women in the village worship in front of the statue.

After seeing the appearance of the statue, Yaoyue asked doubtfully, "Xiaochen, why does this statue look like you?"

Chen Daochu said, "Uh... Sister Yaoyue, this is me."

Although it is not known who erected the statue, there is no doubt that this statue is him.

"It wasn't long before I came to the inland area. When I passed by this small village, they were bullied by bandits. I took the initiative to solve the bandits..."

Chen Daochu told Yaoyue what happened back then.

Not long after, the men and women who worshiped in front of the statue all left.

Someone noticed the two of Chen Daochu, but they didn't dare to talk to them because of the aura they inadvertently exuded as strong men.

Just whispering, "Do you think that boy looks like a great benefactor?"

"Don't say it, it's pretty similar."

"Go, go, go and tell the village chief, let him come and have a look, don't make a mistake."

Yaoyue smacked her lips, "I didn't expect someone to erect a statue for you."

Yaoyue joked: "Don't say it, the sculpture is quite similar, as handsome as yourself."

While talking, Yaoyue came to the statue and looked at the statue back and forth.

Chen Daochu touched his nose in embarrassment, "Is there any? This is at most half as handsome as me, right?"

Yaoyue: "..."

Say you are fat and you are still panting.

While the two were joking, a white-haired old man walked over tremblingly with the support of a man.

"Little hero, little hero!"

Looking at Chen Daochu in white clothes and white hair from a distance, the old man called out in a trembling voice.

Chen Daochu turned around, turned his head and looked at the old man.

Chen Daochu tried his best to flip through the memories in his mind, and after a while, he finally remembered, and said, "Mr. Li?"

The old man is the head of the Li family village.

After he killed the two bandits, the old man even told him to escape.

If it wasn't for his amazing memory as a soul master, he wouldn't even be able to remember.

The old man didn't seem to expect that Chen Daochu would remember him, after all, they only met once.

The old man stepped forward excitedly, "It's me, it's me."

"Little hero, little hero!"

As he said that, he was about to kneel down, but Chen Daochu quickly grabbed him.

Chen Daochu seemed to understand something, and asked, "You built this statue for me?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, the benefactor left quietly after destroying Heifengzhai."

"The old man and others have nothing to repay. After thinking about it, they can only erect a statue for the benefactor for the villagers to worship, in order to repay the kindness of the little hero."

Then, he added: "There are also several surrounding villages that have been oppressed by the Black Wind Village for a long time. After seeing the statues in our Lijia Village, they also erected statues for the little heroes."

The old village chief lowered his head, seeming to blame himself, "We have nothing to offer, we can only express our gratitude to the little hero in this way."

Chen Daochu said: "Don't say that, Village Chief Li, how can I be worshiped by people at the beginning of Chen Dao?"

Being worshiped by others, in the previous life, it was the treatment that a great man who has made a great contribution to the country could get. Is he considered a great man?
Perhaps for a village like Lijia Village, which has been oppressed by the Black Wind Village for a long time but no one cares about it, he is their great man.

But he's only in his teens, so he was confessed...

How should I put it, this feeling is not bad, hahaha.

It's on, it's on...

What kind of great man was he at the beginning of his dusty world?

But others have done this, and it is not easy for him to stop it, so let it be.

Hearing Chen Daochu's words, the old man was so excited that his saliva flew around, "The little hero saved us from the fire and water, so we should worship!"

Chen Daochu glanced at Yaoyue helplessly, as if saying, you see, he has already said this, and there is nothing I can do...

Yaoyue rolled her eyes, ignored him, and said to the old man, "Old man, do you have a place to live here?"

"Xiaochen and I want to stay with you for one night."

The old man sized up Yaoyue, "Who are you?"

Yaoyue stretched out a hand to rub Chen Daochu's hair "lovingly", and said with a smile, "I am Xiaochen's older sister."

The old man hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out to be the little hero's sister, please forgive me for being blind."

This time, Yaoyue couldn't fix it anymore, and hurriedly helped him up, "Old man, don't do this."

At this time, the man who had been supporting the old man said cautiously, "Does the little hero want to stay in our village for one night?"

"If you don't dislike it, go live in my house. I have a spare room in my house. I can live in it after tidying up."

The old village head introduced Chen Daochu and the two: "His name is Li Zimu, he is my nephew, he and his wife are the only two in the family."

Village Chief Li paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "If the little hero stays overnight, he can stay at his house for one night, but the old man has only one person in his house, and there is no one to live in."

Chen Daochu agreed: "If so, I would like to thank the old village chief and Uncle Li."

The two followed the man to his house.

As soon as they entered the door, there was a set of tattered tables and chairs, which seemed to be the dining table for them to eat, and the ground was uneven.

Li Zimu and the old village chief led Chen Daochu into the room.

"Xiuqin, Xiuqin!"

"There are guests at home."

Not long after, a woman came out from the back room.

The woman is about 40 years old, with a plump figure, wearing old and washed white clothes, but the whole person gives people a very neat feeling.

Li Zimu introduced to the woman named Xiuqin: "This is the little hero who solved the Black Wind Village."

The woman bowed slightly, "Xiuqin has seen the young master, thank you for your righteousness."

This woman seems to have a scholarly background, but her speech and actions are quite ladylike.

After a brief introduction, the charming woman went to make the bed for Chen Daochu and the two of them.

At the beginning of the dust, the two chatted with Li Zimu and Village Chief Li one after another.

Not long after, the woman came out, "My lord, the bed has been made, but because there are only two of us in our family all year round, there is only one extra bed, I don't know..."

After all, the woman looked at Chen Daochu with some embarrassment.

Before Chen Daochu could speak, Yaoyue smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll just sleep with my brother."

Chen Daochu rolled his eyes and nodded at the woman.

In this way, Chen Daochu and the two settled down in this Li Family Village.

Village head Li walked back to his home with difficult steps.

At night, Chen Daochu and Yaoyue lay on the small bed with a slightly brand new sheet under them.

Chen Daochu, who had seen the plum wood room, knew that this should be the latest bed sheet in their house.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, in order to avoid further trouble for them, Chen Daochu and Yaoyue quietly left here.

There are already scattered figures in the square worshiping in front of the statue.

Indistinctly, some golden spots of light slowly rose from the bodies of those worshippers, converging towards the statue.

This light spot seems to be a special power, and no one has noticed it.

And this statue seems to have established a weak connection with Chen Daochu.

Chen Daochu, who was so weak that he was on his way, just felt in a trance that there seemed to be something extra in his body.

When he checked carefully, he didn't notice anything.
