Chapter 257: There is no way to see hope

Then, I saw the two rays of light coming out of the stone lion drifting towards the formation light curtain, and after a while, I saw that the light curtain dissipated under the fusion of the two rays of light.

"Sure enough, it's a thousand avenues!"

Li Mubai exclaimed. Unexpectedly, the light curtain that even he couldn't break through would dissipate under the illumination of two rays of light, and it was impossible to say that it was not strange.

A door like yin and yang gossip appeared in the light curtain, Li Mubai didn't know if all this was a ploy, but in order to solve the problem of deterring the enemy, he couldn't control it so much.

I saw him leap forward and jump in from the light curtain, and in an instant, the originally unfolded Yin and Yang Gate was stitched together. Nothing seemed to have happened in place.

When Li Mubai opened his eyes, he found that he had come to an inexplicable place.

This place is a small world.

This small world is no different from the outside world, but the aura is much richer, like a fairyland on earth. The law in the small world is also the same as the outside world, the sunrise and sunset.

As soon as Li Mubai stepped into the small world, he found that there was a village in front of him.

Looking at the village like a fairyland on earth, it is like a paradise, perhaps, Tao Yuanming strayed into such a small world on the water side, and then there was the Peach Blossom Spring.

Ahead, the old man who thought he was cultivating the land looked up at Li Mubai.

Then he asked, "Young man, are you from outside?"

Li Mubai nodded and said, "Back to my father-in-law, the younger generation is a tourist who accidentally broke in from the outside, I don't know what the name of this place is?"

Suddenly, the old man showed a look of vigilance, and then said, "Young man, the master of this place, the Ethereal Immortal Trace, is chasing outsiders, and there are outsiders like you who have broken into it a few days ago. Go to the Ethereal Hidden Gate to make trouble, and then let the Ethereal Hidden Gate chase and kill, if they see you, they will definitely kill you. ”

Li Mubai felt strange when he heard it, could it be said that there are still people who are enemies with the Ethereal Hidden Sect, if that is the case, this person will be saved by himself.

So, he pretended to be frightened and asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, you go to my house to hide, wait for the limelight to pass, and then you find another opportunity to leave. The old man was very enthusiastic and smiled at Li Mubai.

Li Mubai nodded and said, "If that's the case, then thank you to my father-in-law, but what if it affects you?"

"It's okay, they don't usually come to search in our village. ”

The old man explained with a smile to Li Mubai.

"There is Lao Lao to lead the way. ”

Li Mubai was not ambiguous, the old man put down the ploughing tools, and then led the way for Li Mubai. Li Mubai followed cautiously behind him.

After a while, the two of them came to the place where the smoke was curling, a village of less than twenty households.

The village is located at the foot of the hill and looks very harmonious and beautiful. Putting aside the ethereal hidden door, Li Mubai found that he really liked this place.

The old man said, "You can live here! I will go to the plough first, remember, do not run around, if you are discovered by the ethereal people, it will be terrible." ”

"Yes!"

Li Mubai replied respectfully, and he found that the villagers in this small world were still very simple.

He sat down in the old man's house, and then began to think about how to make the Ethereal Door give up being hostile to him.

Thinking about it, it was evening, and at this moment, the old man returned.

I saw him say to Li Mubai: "Xiaoyou, are you still used to living?"

Li Mubai nodded and said, "Yes, I already like this place." If I could, I would rather stay in such a small world for the rest of my life. ”

"You think too much, although this small mountain village has no quarrel with the world, but every year we have to be looted by the Ethereal Hidden Gate, in fact, the looting alone can be endured. But it's not as simple as looting. ”

The old man looked gloomy.

Li Mubai opened his mouth and asked, "Could it be that there is anything hidden in this?"

"Forget it, you still don't want to know, and when the limelight is over, you'll leave this place quickly. The old man avoided talking about this aspect, which made Li Mubai very curious.

Therefore, he asked again: "Uncle, please tell me the secrets, maybe I can help you." "If he didn't know the answer, he would have suffocated.

The old man sighed, "Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you." In fact, a long time ago, this was not a small world, our village was closely connected to the outside world, and then lived a life of generations of farming, but more than a hundred years ago, the forces of the Ethereal Hidden Gate suddenly broke into this world, and then completely sealed us away, unable to contact the outside world. Every year, they come to our small villages to catch a lot of people. ”

"What are you doing when you catch it? Is it to expand the number of sects?"

Li Mubai asked.

The old man shook his head with difficulty and said, "If that's the case, why should we be worried, they arrested people for the purpose of sacrificing the Sevenfold Pavilion. ”

"Oh?"

Li Mubai was puzzled, feeling that the more the old man spoke, the more confused he became, so that he couldn't sort out any clues.

The old man said again: "The so-called Sevenfold Pavilion is the forbidden place of the Ethereal Hidden Gate, and it is said that they did this in order to awaken a powerful person, who was sleeping in the Sevenfold Pavilion. To awaken her, a human sacrifice must be made. ”

For this reason, Li Mubai heard it clearly, it turned out that the Ethereal Hidden Door was so cruel.

So, Li Mubai said: "Do you know the location of the Ethereal Hidden Gate?"

"Their sect is on the Ethereal Mountain, and it is difficult for outsiders to go up, only those who have cultivated to the highest level can go up. The old man spoke.

Li Mubai nodded.

At this time, he asked the old man, "Haven't you ever thought about resisting?"

The old man said bitterly: "It's not easy to resist, our village rebelled once, and that time, they slaughtered almost half of our villagers, and since then, they have not dared to resist." ”

"Oh no, the people from the hidden door are here. ”

Outside the house, a villager said in horror.

The old man was suddenly overshadowed, and hurriedly said to Li Mubai: "You go to the cellar to hide first, and then you come out after they leave, remember, if I don't open the cellar, you must not be able to come out." ”

"Good!"

In order not to embarrass the old man, Li Mubai then hid in the cellar, and cultivated to the point where he could already expand his divine consciousness to the four directions.

So, even if he can't see the outside world, he can know what's going on outside.

I saw six or seven people from the Ethereal Hidden Gate coming, and they gathered all the villagers together, and they were sharp.

At this time, a middle-aged man led by him said arrogantly: "You untouchables, have you ever seen outsiders break into it?"

"Immortals, we haven't seen them!"

A group of villagers pleaded.

The middle-aged man at the head has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is rough, and he looks like a fierce god, which is very sultry.

He said, "Really?"

At the same time, he looked at the shivering villagers. The villagers were found to be unusual.

"No, if the immortals don't believe it, they can search it themselves!"

The old man who took in Li Mubai opened his mouth to explain. He is older, so he looks more profound, and he is not afraid of concealment.

"Very good, this time we are here to find outsiders, you are all old people here, and I believe in you. Second, it's time for sacrifice again this year, are you ready for people this year?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and scolded.

The old man said in horror: "Immortal, isn't there still three years?"

"Hmph! The rules of the sect, you just have to follow them, this year you need ten people, you prepare quickly, and go up the mountain with me in half an hour." ”

The middle-aged man said angrily.

A group of people bowed their heads in horror, this village of less than twenty households, all of them together were less than sixty people, and if ten people were sacrificed, it would be an unimaginable consequence.

The old man reluctantly said calmly: "My lord, in the past, there were five people, but now we want ten people, but now the number of years is not enough, plus the number is doubled, we really can't get ten people." ”

"Dare to contradict my Wang Chao's order and look for death!"

I saw him walk towards the old man, and then lifted the old man up, and said: "You are also the most senior here, the reason why we didn't sacrifice you is because you knew the current affairs very well before, and you know how to persuade the villagers, if you don't cooperate this time, then take your old man first." ”

It turned out that this middle-aged man's name was Wang Chao, an elder of the Ethereal Hidden Sect, and his cultivation had already entered the late golden stage, and he could rank in the top ten even in the sect.

No wonder when he spoke, the doorman next to him didn't dare to speak.

The old man shook his head and said, "Forget it, I've been a wicked person all my life, take me to sacrifice this time!"

"Don't!"

A group of villagers spoke up to stop him, after all, this old man was the person they respected the most. If the old men were sacrificed, perhaps, they would have no spiritual support. In the end, the end may be the end of the whole village going to perdition together.

"You have a lot of backbone, but it's a pity that you're old, and even if you sacrifice, you can't mention much life essence, so you better get out of the way and do your peace of mind!"

Wang Chao laughed. It seems that he is very proud of bullying these villagers who have not resisted.

The old man sat on the ground listlessly, and then, he looked at the villagers behind him, and said: "Villagers, all along, we have not resisted, and we have survived secretly, but this time they have intensified, and every time they sacrifice, they use our relatives, or not! ”

"Village chief, don't, you are our spiritual pillar, you must not have anything, isn't it just a sacrifice?

"I'll go too!"

"Add me!"

A group of villagers stood up one after another, less than sixty people, and all of them stood up.

One of them said coldly to Wang Chao: "If you have the ability, you can take the whole of our village to sacrifice together, anyway, I have had enough days like this." ”

"Yes, instead of watching your loved ones and friends being pushed to hell by your bunch of people, why don't you put an end to us together. Let's go and reunite with our loved ones. ”

"Shut up, let me go back. ”

The old man scolded. Obviously, at this time, he was grieving as if he hated iron but not steel, but what else could he do in this oppressed era?

All he can do now is to make the crazy villagers be more reasonable, and the so-called green mountains will not worry about running out of firewood. However, this is simply a path with no hope in sight.
