About the brave man who became a thousand-year-old potato and ended up destroying the world

Yayin looked up at Liu Ji, nuzzled into his arms, nodded, and said, "Well, it feels pretty good, that's it, but I don't plan to let you fly here with your wings."

"Huh?" Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, "Then what..."

"Just leave it to me," Yayin said. "By the way, if you let me fall..."

"That must be impossible," Liu Ji said with a bitter smile, "It would be too embarrassing for me to let you fall, right?"

"I think so," Yayin nodded, "If you let me fall, I will probably look down on you for several hours."

"Haha, it's only a few hours, so that's really a big help," Liu Ji smiled bitterly, holding Ya Yin in his arms more firmly.

Yayin slowly raised the staff in her hand, paused, then put the staff down a little, and turned her head to look at Liu Ji.

"Well, what's wrong?" Liu Ji looked at Ya Yin with some confusion and blinked.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Yayin raised her right hand, gently hooked Liu Ji's collar, and gently pulled it down.

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile that he didn't know whether to say helpless or doting, and lowered his head.

Under the quiet night, accompanied by the sound of each other's heartbeats, there was another long kiss in the memory album.

After a long time, Liu Ji slowly straightened up and asked with a smile: "Well, I think we can set off now?"

"Well, let's go, I'm satisfied," Yayin nodded, "For now."

"Ha, it's true. We are facing a formidable enemy. Will we be too tired?" Liu Ji sniffed.

"I can't help it. Who let someone leave me alone for ten years? I am now in a state of depletion of magic power. I can't make up for it without a lot of effort." After Yayin said this, she shook her staff gently and read out softly. A spell as elegant as ancient poetry.

The cyan magic power circulated around the two of them, gently lifting their figures, and then the green light flashed and turned into a meteor, disappearing into the sky.

Nize Village.

This is an ordinary village.

There are about a hundred households, some farmland, a pasture, a forest, and a lake.

There are no decent shops, and the village is most lively when caravans occasionally pass by.

The only inn and the only restaurant, there is almost no business on weekdays. The owners of the store are a couple. In addition to looking after the store, they have to weave some straw mats in the store to support the family the rest of the time. .

But today, they shouldn't have to work so hard.

"Kill a chicken," Liu Ji ordered. "The sauced meat is too boring. We want to eat something fresh."

"Well, for a chicken, the price might be..." The boss hesitated.

Liu Ji casually put down a small piece of gold ingot.

The boss' eyes widened immediately and he took a breath of air.

"This is for you, just take care of it," Liu Ji said casually.

The boss looked at the gold, then at Liu Ji, swallowed, and said tremblingly: "How about I kill a pig for you?"

"We don't need to use it up in one meal. We have to live here for a while," Liu Ji said. "Just kill a chicken, and the rest will be used for subsequent accommodation and meal expenses."

"Hey! Okay!" The boss's face suddenly burst into smiles. He took the gold, rubbed it in his hands, and went back to the kitchen.

When he met the proprietress at the door, Liu Ji vaguely heard them saying that they could buy two cows and a lot of chickens.

"Ah, hell, this place is too ordinary," Liu Ji was a little troubled, "Is it really here..."

"Anyway, let's go to the village for a walk later," Yayin held her chin and fiddled with a small arcane magic circle with her hands.

"So what is this little thing for?" Liu Ji asked doubtfully.

"It's just a simple exploration of the magic circle. Unfortunately, there is nothing to gain." Yayin shrugged, "But I don't expect to gain anything. After all, the other party is a person who truly stands at the pinnacle of arcane magic."

Liu Ji scratched his head, a little helpless.

Although he really didn't want Ya Yin to get involved before setting off, after all, he thought that he couldn't die. Even if it was difficult to deal with it, he should always be able to find a way if he worked hard.

But when he actually arrived at the guided village, he suddenly found that he seemed to have no clue.

"Hey, let me look around again," Liu Ji sighed, then flicked his fingers and let a wisp of dust float out of the room.

Although he couldn't control two selves at the same time, he could still make a wisp of dust become his eyes.

However, he has tried this kind of action twice before. No matter how you look at it, this village is just an ordinary village, with nothing special about it.

However, perhaps it is a place like this that is most suitable for hiding certain secrets.

Both sides were silent, each investigating in their own way.

The owner of the inn was also busy in the kitchen, and for a while, the whole inn was quiet.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the door.

"Brother Jami! Do you have a pair of suitable straw sandals for me!" A strong man shouted, carrying a firewood rack on his back and a hatchet in his hand and entering the door.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyes glanced at Liu Ji and Ya Yin. He was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Hey, there are actually guests today..."

Not long after, the curtain in the back kitchen opened and he waved to the man: "Hey Koma, don't yell, come over here."

"Oh, oh," the man responded innocently, then shrank back and went to the kitchen.

Liu Ji watched him walk into the kitchen and touched his chin.

"What's wrong?" Yayin tilted her head.

"Well, I was just thinking, how ordinary," Liu Ji muttered, "just a completely ordinary woodcutter..."

"That's not the case," Yayin said with a bitter smile.

"Tsk," Liu Ji scratched his head, "Well, you said, since he is a woodcutter, he should often run in the nearby mountains. Is it possible that I can ask something?"

"I don't think there's much hope, but you can give it a try if you want," Yayin said casually.

"Yes," Liu Ji touched his chin.

It happened that at this time the kitchen chain was opened again, and the woodcutter Koma came out carrying a pair of worn-out straw sandals. He glanced at Liu Ji and was about to leave.

Liu Ji looked at the brand new straw sandals on his feet, and then at the weathered straw sandals in his hand. After thinking about it, he waved to him and said, "Hey, brother, come here."

"Ah?" The woodcutter stopped and asked doubtfully, "Here, what do you want?"

"Nothing much, I just want to chat with you. Why don't you come over here?" Liu Ji said.

"Ah, but I still have to go up the mountain to cut firewood..." The woodcutter scratched his head, "Many people are waiting for my firewood. If I go up the mountain late, I will turn back..."

"It's easy to talk about firewood. I have it here. I'll give it to you directly," Liu Ji said, casually taking out two bundles of firewood from the magic space and putting them aside.

Those were the supplies he prepared for his trip. Although he could directly control flames after taking the ancient dragon form, he didn't actually use firewood much.

"This," the woodcutter's eyes widened immediately, "Sir, was that... magic?"

"Well, as you can see," Liu Ji nodded, "Anyway, sit down and chat with me. I'll give you these firewood."

"Ah, this, this is not bad," the woodcutter rubbed his hands and walked over, put down the wood rack, and sat on the chair beside the two of them, "I just don't know what the two gentlemen want to talk about?"

"Uh, let me think about it," Liu Ji touched his chin, "Is there anything unique about your village...?"

"Specialty? Ah, you two are looking for something to play and eat, right?" The woodcutter nodded, "Well, the scenery over the lake and pond is nice at night, and the fungi on the mountain are very fertile at this time. Then, Tuoma's family will make some The decorations are quite nice..."

"It's so ordinary," Yayin muttered.

"Well, it's indeed very ordinary," Liu Ji scratched his head.

"Ah, haha, after all, we are just an ordinary village here," the woodcutter smiled helplessly, "Well, are the two gentlemen passing by?"

"You can understand it as finding a place to relax," Liu Ji said. "Maybe I'll stay here for a while, or maybe I'll go to the next village soon."

"Oh, that's it," the woodcutter nodded, "Well, then, you can live here anyway. If you're bored, you can go hunting in the back mountains... Well, I heard that those nobles love hunting. , although I don’t know what’s so fun about this kind of unlucky way of surviving without making any profit all day long.”

"Haha, what they call hunting is different from that of hunters," Liu Ji smiled and shook his head, "Let's not talk about this, uh, let me think about it, are there any particularly knowledgeable people in your village?"

"Exceptionally knowledgeable?" The woodcutter blinked, "Ah! If you want to say that, Uncle Bode in the west of the village knows a lot of things, uh, but... if the two old friends are both arcanists, eh."

"Come on, old Bode has only taught in the city for a few years, and it's really not good enough to show off to these two gentlemen." The shop owner came over with two plates of cold dishes and a pot of sake and put them on the table.

A stack of diced beef in sauce and a stack of diced fruit plate, ordinary, but not bad.

Then, he placed a plate and wooden fork in front of Ya Yin and Liu Ji.

"Let me ask, how old is this old Bode now?" Liu Ji asked.

"Oh, well, he must be about two hundred years old this year," the shopkeeper touched his chin, "Well, speaking of this, his ears seemed to have been almost deaf in the past two years. I don't know when... Tsk, that's not right. , How do I say this, I'm sorry, I'm going to make hot dishes, and the two gentlemen will eat first."

"Wait," Liu Ji shouted.

"Ah? What's wrong?" The shop owner was stunned for a moment.

"Give him extra tableware," Liu Ji pointed to the woodcutter next to him.

"Eh!? No! No need! How can this be so embarrassing!" the woodcutter waved his hand quickly.

"Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for you to sit here and watch us eat?" Liu Ji said, winking at the shop owner.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then went back and took another pair of forks and placed them in front of the woodcutter.

The woodcutter looked left and right, scratched his head, and looked embarrassed, but his eyes couldn't stop drifting to the stack of sauced beef.

Liu Ji smiled, took out a pair of chopsticks, helped him pick up two lumps on the plate, and said, "Eat, you're welcome, you guys work hard every day."

Liu Ji said and poured the woodcutter a glass of sake.

"Ah, haha, then, thank you very much," the woodcutter seemed to be really greedy. Without any further excuses, he took a sip of sake, forked the sauced meat and put it into his mouth. His eyes visibly lit up. stand up.

With wine and meat, the conversation became less unfamiliar. Liu Ji and the woodcutter started chatting from Widow Rose in the east of the village to Master Jack in the west of the village. They talked about the season and the weather. .

Liu Ji knew very well that the other party was hiding very deep, so it was almost impossible to expect to see anything obviously different. Therefore, he could only cast a wide net and learn as much as possible about the current situation of the entire village, and go to those who seemed normal. Among the situations, search for the possibility that what is normal is actually not normal.

But the meal took two hours from killing the chicken to stewing the soup to finishing it. The whole village's gossip was almost finished, but Liu Ji still didn't hear any valuable information.

When the woodcutter walked away satisfied with the firewood on his back, Liu Ji was still drinking chicken soup while repeatedly thinking about whether there was any discord in the conversation just now.

"The effect is not good," Yayin said, holding her chin.

"Hmm... They are all from the village and they are all family members. Do you think there is anything noteworthy about them?" Liu Ji asked.

"If I must say it," Yayin turned the fork in her hand, "it's quite unbelievable that there is a living fool in a village."

"Ah?" Liu Ji was stunned for a moment.

He recalled it carefully, and seemed to remember that the woodcutter had just mentioned that there was a fool in the south of the village...

"Well, if you're still alive," Liu Ji scratched his brows and hesitated.

"It's not impossible, if there are kind-hearted people or family members to take care of it," Yayin said, "But as for the place I lived before I met the teacher, let alone a fool, I just accidentally suffered some disabilities. If you have any skills, you basically won’t survive for a few years..."

"Well, tsk, this sounds more like a wilderness where the jungle prevails than human society..." Liu Ji's expression was a little subtle.

"In that kind of place, there is no difference between humans and beasts," Yain shrugged.

"Well..." Liu Ji touched his chin and looked outside the door.

No matter how you think about it, the peaceful village in front of you doesn't look like the kind of environment Ya Yin mentioned.

but……

"You idiot, there are indeed stories of pretending to be crazy and hiding something," Liu Ji touched his chin, "Tsk, but it feels like it's too obvious..."

"Not necessarily," Yayin said, "I'm not entirely suspicious of a fool, but I have an idea. If that guy is hiding among the villagers here, then he must be an existence that is aloof from everyone. After all, he has lived too long, and if his presence is too strong, others will definitely notice something strange."

"So, a fool who everyone knows but won't get close to is the most likely existence?" Liu Ji touched his chin.

"But it's only possible," Yain shrugged. "After all, he might not be among these villagers at all."

"No, that's not right," Liu Ji shook his head, "If he follows this idea, he doesn't have to stay in a place like this at all. He can go to the uninhabited mountains and forests, why hide in a small village."

"Then do you think he will be among the villagers?" Yayin asked.

"No, no, that's not right either," Liu Ji shook his head again, "If he is among the villagers, if he wants to hide among the villagers, then he should at least choose a larger village. The more people there are, the more suitable it is for him to hide. Own……"

"Then, where do you think he is hiding?" Ya Yin asked.

"Dayin is hidden in the city..." Liu Ji touched his chin, "Where is the city? Wait, boss! How many similar villages are there around here?"

"Ah?" The owner of the kitchen stuck his head out, "Uh, which area are you asking about..."

"It's a hundred miles away," Liu Ji said.

"Baili? Oh, then, how can I figure it out?" The boss scratched his head, "There must be dozens of them. Small villages like ours are everywhere."
