Chapter 323: Why
Ever since I was a child, my father told me that no one could know about our existence, so we had to stay in the village for the rest of our lives, not go out.
Born in the village, grew up in the village, married the big cow or the second baby next door in the village, raised the next generation and raised it, and then slowly died of old age in the village. From the mouth of the only uncle in the village who can go out, I know how colorful the world is there, there are many new things that are not available in the village, and I have a great yearning for the outside world, and I can't understand why we can't leave the village for the rest of our lives.
I tried to sneak out, but before I could reach the entrance of the village, my father arrested me and locked me in a small dark house for seven days without giving me food. I am a well-known genius in the village, and I am much faster than my peers in terms of martial arts and knowledge, and everyone will forgive me even if I make a small mistake on weekdays.
Seven days later, my father released me from the little dark room, and he looked at me with a distressed face, but I was full of anger and did not want to deal with him, if I hadn't broken through to the realm of turning energy, I would have starved to death without food and drink for seven days! My father saw that I was angry, so he explained to me for the first time why the people in our village could not leave the village for the rest of their lives.
Because we are not people, but descendants of the fairy family, my father said. My father cautiously said that a three-year-old child would not believe it, and I almost laughed out loud, I am already fifteen years old, how can I still believe that there are gods in this world. My father ignored me and continued to say that in ancient times, there was an immortal in our lineage, the so-called one person ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs, and the immortals took away a lot of people from the same village, and even some chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs flew together with them, but some people were willing to go, and naturally some people were unwilling to go. That immortal had provoked many enemies before becoming an immortal, and in order to prevent the enemies from being unfavorable to his relatives in the same village after his ascension, the immortal left a furnace of elixir and the method of refining the elixir.
With the elixir of that furnace, the young people in the village have become powerful figures, and those who invade the village in the future to try to obtain the secret treasures left by the immortals will be killed outside the entrance of the village.
At that time, the prestige of the village was so great that countless people were terrified, but the powerful power could not resolve the hatred that had been there, and the killing made the hatred accumulate deeper and deeper, whether it was revenge, or trying to get the elixir, the forces that went to the village were still endless.
But the elixir will always run out one day, although the immortals also left the refining method of the elixir, but no one can successfully refine the elixir, as time goes by, the village can only choose one person to take the elixir every hundred years, become the guardian saint of the village, and after many years, the number of the elixir is only a few left. Outsiders didn't know the news, and they still attacked the village from time to time, as if the village had endless treasures to them. When there was only the last elixir left, the people in the village finally knew that if they didn't leave the village again, they were afraid that the catastrophe would come.
It was during the devastation of World War II that China took the opportunity to move to its current seclusion. After changing places, no one could find the address of the village, and we lived a quiet and peaceful life for decades.
Therefore, the people in our village cannot leave the village, once they leave the village and are discovered by the world, it will bring ruin to the entire village.
My father had never spoken to me so seriously, although I still didn't believe it in my heart, but I couldn't help but dispel the idea of leaving the village, anyway, the life in the village was actually quite comfortable, practicing martial arts every day, writing with the teacher in the village, and the day passed, and I gradually forgot the outside world.
Until I was about to turn eighteen.
The only uncle who can go out, he will go out of the village once every other year, he wants to go out to buy some books, understand the changes in the outside world, and bring a whole year's newspaper back to the village, I don't understand this very well, I can't go out anyway, why do I care so much about the changes in the outside world, and then I figured it out, maybe because there is no entertainment in the village, so I count on reading some books and newspapers to pass the time.
Uncle also promised me before going out that I would bring delicious candy as a gift for my eighteenth birthday, on the day of my birthday I stood at the entrance of the village and waited, but I didn't see the figure of the uncle, and when it came to the next day, everyone in the village looked flustered, saying that the uncle did not come back, there must have been an accident, I don't know if it will implicate the village.
Sure enough, on the third day, the uncle returned, but he did not come alone, he was followed by a large group of people riding horses and carrying spears, and the uncle was taken hostage.
That group of people is simply the evil ghosts and mad demons written in the book, they wantonly slaughter the people in the village, and ask about the elixir and the method of refining it.
They are powerful, many of them are martial artists who have turned into strength, and some of them even control wind, thunder, fire and electricity, and the people in the village are not their opponents at all.
When it comes to this kind of life and death, why don't we take out the elixir that the legendary immortal gave us? Isn't there the last one, I find that I can never understand the thoughts of my father and the people in the village.
I watched the death of my relatives who were celebrating my adult at the banquet yesterday one by one, and I wanted to rush up and fight with them, but my father stopped me, and he took me to the forbidden place where no villagers were allowed to step into it on weekdays, in the middle of the forbidden place, there was a Dan furnace sealed with chains, my father opened the Dan furnace and took out this sandalwood box, inside the box was a scroll, my father told me that the last elixir actually did not exist for a long time, the reason why I said this is just to reassure the villagers, and what is recorded in the scroll is the method of refining the elixir。
Father pushed open the furnace, and behind it was a cliff, but there was a chain that stretched downward. My father told me to escape with the box and through the chains, which he would cut after half an hour.
Since there is a way to escape, why don't you take everyone with you? I asked my father, but my father said that there is a legend about the elixir, which has lasted for thousands of years, and the battle for the elixir has also lasted for thousands of years, so let the legend of the elixir disappear from today, there is no elixir in this world, there are no immortals, everything is just a legend.
