Chapter 282: Heavenly Punishment (Part II)
As soon as he looked into the man's eyes, the old man nodded knowingly.
"Stop, stop. β
"This ...... It's just fate. β
As he spoke, he staggered up step by step and walked towards the door.
"The old man has already said everything, and he also knows the things five thousand years from the two of them, and he has lived for nearly a hundred years because of the foundation of cultivating immortals, and he is content to know this. β
"My wish has been fulfilled, my wish has been fulfilled. He waved his hand behind his back, "Let's go, boys, let's all go back." β
The door was gently pushed open, and the cold moonlight outside penetrated in, and everyone's expressions were blank, but it made people feel lonely inexplicably.
"Oh, yes. The old man held on to the door frame, stopped, and turned his head slightly, "You can also be regarded as 'strangers', if you don't dislike it, you can live in our village, there are still some empty houses." β
But in a short moment, the full house was empty again.
Just as quietly as he came, he didn't hear a sound when he left
- In the past hundred years, they have not made a single sound, and they have lived quietly.
Long.
"Aren't you surprised?" the girl turned to the man behind her, her tone faint.
"What?" he raised an eyebrow.
"All of this. β
"Well, I'm really surprised that we would meet these people in such a place. β
"What about the history of Yuan Zhou and Ruxian?" she said.
"Huh. He laughed nonchalantly, "Is Miss Changli showing off her knowledge?" he heard her, and knew she was wary of his reaction to the fact that he couldn't avoid revealing so much of the truth. But his reaction was not what she expected.
"Although there is also Yuan Zhou in addition to Ningxu, the Evil Sea is also known as the Sea of Clouds, these historical exchanges, presumably except for those old-timers today, there are really few people who can know. β
"But ......"
"It doesn't mean you...... And me. He smiled and said, meeting the girl's surprised eyes, "Why?
She looked at him suspiciously.
"Okay, okay. He had no choice but to spread his hands.
"I only know some vague things, such as the existence of Yuan Zhou and the Evil Sea, which are all mentioned from the mouths of elders who have been home for a long time. He looked at her seriously, and she always felt that he seemed a little strange at the moment, but when she looked closely, she felt that he was still so ordinary, "But this is the first time I have learned about the origin." β
As he spoke, he sighed and pinched another mosquito that fell from the roof from his hair, "I didn't expect us to run for our lives so casually, and end up in such a troublesome situation." β
"I've been asked about the village, and I know the cause and effect, but I don't have the way to get out of the island. β
She pursed her lips unconsciously, "Hey, do you remember? β
"We first came to the Evil Sea inexplicably, at least five thousand years later. She paused, hiding her strange familiarity with the sea, "Then I crossed, and I didn't meet those black mist beasts, but I encountered such an island in a sea that was extremely bright and dark. What's even more peculiar is that after landing on the island, it only took a moment to turn around, and the originally gloomy sky suddenly became clear, as if what we had seen before was all an illusion. β
"So ......"
"You think our activity limits are even smaller than theirs. Gu Xiqian immediately understood, frowned, and said, "Maybe there is only such an island?"
As if thinking of something, Liluo smiled, "Why don't we try out this island?"
"Of course, you can try. Gu Xiqian glanced at her, "The situation here is unknown, and time and space are involved, as long as you are not afraid of being caught up in the gap between time and space, you can do it at will." β
She snorted softly, not opening her mouth.
β¦β¦
It was getting late, and the two finally did not reject the old man's kindness and lived in the village. First, I thought that the inn was indeed some distance away from here, and secondly, I wanted to know more about this village.
Both of them were tacitly aware of this.
But Liluo never expected that in the morning, after she finished meditating, she came out to see that Gu Xiqian actually ran directly to the village very diligently, using a pen and paper found out of nowhere, writing and drawing next to the village chief, and talking about something.
It seems that this is not the case in ordinary times.
As the sun rose in the morning, the old man no longer had the sorrow of last night, smiling and smiling on crutches, sitting on the stone pier outside the house, while watching the man next to him bow his head and write.
A few children were chattering not far away.
She pursed her lips and smiled, and walked over slowly.
"Ah, you're here. Gu Xiqian raised his head, greeted him absently, and buried his head in writing something.
So seriously?
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and simply walked to the side, only to find that the paper was full of jumble lines and circles.
He touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then leaned in to the old man and asked, who happily pointed at him with his handβshe didn't understand what it was.
"Are you going today?" she didn't bother to pay attention to, and said directly.
"Inquiring about the situation?" he tilted his head and looked at the girl and nodded, he refused bitterly, "No, I won't go today, you can go, I still have something to ask here." He had always had a gentle countenance even when he was mocking, and he was faintly excited at the moment.
Liluohu looked at him suspiciously, nodded for a while, said goodbye to the village chief next to him, and left the village alone.
β¦β¦
Originally, according to her plan, she planned to go to the street and talk to the vendor's house as she did that day, and see if she could learn anything about the anomaly.
Just walking, I unconsciously turned towards the cliff in the middle.
She looked up at the top of the hill under the shade of the trees for a long time, as if she had made a decision, sighed, and finally stepped up.
- She still has some doubts about this place.
The outline of this mountaintop is exactly the same as the outline of the island where she met the ghost mother-in-law, and she can't be sure again and again.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace, ready to grind with the power again, and with a little effort, she smacked her tongue, opened the storage bag, and slapped some talisman on herself.
- Although these are of little use in the face of death, it is better to talk than nothing.
This time, however, it was not what she expected.
Lifting the yellow bamboo curtain over the low wall of the bamboo forest, passing through the courtyard, and tentatively stepping up the stone steps, the imaginary sound of "hurry up" did not appear.
She pursed her lips and smiled slyly, and then cautiously looked at the closed door of the hall, as if she were looking at someone's face, and tentatively lifted her feet and stepped up the second stone staircase.
