"You...... Who the hell is it?"

A thin old man stood up, his withered fingers gripping the door frame tightly, his voice trembling with irrepressible trembling.

Watching more and more doors open little by little, revealing a gap, he smiled from his lips.

"Who am I, don't you already have a guess in your mind?"

"Impossible!"

The old man seemed to think of something, and shook his head excitedly, "We have lived here for more than three generations, if there are people like us, it should have been there a long time ago, why did it only appear now?"

She didn't speak, just looked coldly.

The buzzing sound of discussion sounded, and even under the clarity of consciousness, everyone's whispers were fast and urgent, as if willow leaves were gently brushing in their ears—only a sound could be felt, but it was difficult to hear.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and after another moment, she ignored Gu Xiqian's look on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and interrupted.

"Why, now, is it possible that you want to back down because of the doubts in your bones, and turn us away again?"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and the old man, who seemed to be the backbone of the village, raised his eyes and looked at her with burning eyes, with a tough attitude.

"Girl. ”

"If you can't explain where you came from, I'm afraid we won't be able to answer your questions. ”

"Huh. Gu Xiqian chuckled lightly at this time, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he was not in a hurry, a pair of gentle and harmless eyes looked at Liluo, not at all for the sneer just now, but looked like he was waiting for the following.

It's very pleasant.

Liluo was not in the mood to guess his thoughts at this time, and only replied to the villagers lightly.

"You're just keeping this secret like that, even after all this time, and even if your children and grandchildren don't know about it, you're still being semi-imprisoned in this place because of this secret?"

"What detainment? We're here for the good of the kids!"

A man in his prime couldn't help but speak.

"Oh, while leading the whole village to be maverick and talk crazy, so that the whole island avoids it. And at the same time, they don't tell the children the cause and effect, and force them to be isolated from the world and bear the strange eyes of outsiders?"

"Is this for their good?"

"-At least there is life!"

"Qi San!" the old man scolded the middle-aged man, and because his voice suddenly raised, he coughed violently again, and only after a long time did he tremble.

"Girl, this is about the lives of our whole village, and we have our own reasons. ”

"If the girl doesn't want to make it clear, then please go back. ”

Liluo lowered his eyes, and then smiled lightly, "Old man, in the end, it is also difficult." ”

"If I want to make it clear, it is also related to the net worth and lives of the two of us, how can I rest assured?"

Probably because these years were difficult, although the men and women, like Qi San, felt offended, and full of anger. But the mystery of this, they have participated in more than three generations and can't interpret it.

Now Liluo and Gu Xiqian's appearance can be said to be the biggest threat to them and the greatest hope.

This is also the reason why they are still in a stalemate and have not dispersed without a word.

The children, who were held in the palm of their parents' hands, were full of suppressed curiosity in their eyes, looking at the villagers and outsiders who had never seen such a look, and listening to the secrets that had never been told in front of them.

"Strike. ”

The old man coughed lowly and sighed.

"This day should have come, it should have been. ”

"Village Chief!"

"Village Chief, remember to be cautious!"

As if sensing the old man's unusual attitude, the villagers around him, who had gathered around him for some time, eagerly persuaded him.

The old man did not answer, but looked at Liluo with a serious expression.

"I have experienced too many things in my life, and when I was young, I was so cautious under my pride. Everything is about the word fate. ”

"In the past, the old man could judge whether the other party could be handed over or not with a pair of eyes, but now it ......"

He smiled faintly, his face was kind and compassionate, and his eyes seemed to be nostalgic and sad.

"The girl and this son, the two of them have clear eyebrows, and they are open-minded people. But now the old man is burdened with the responsibility and life of the whole village, and he dare not stop being cautious. ”

"Girl, maybe you really have something you want to ask, but we also have a secret that we want to keep. Since it's all about our personal life and death, then. ”

"I ask three questions, and if the girl can answer me without reservation, the whole village will treat her with sincerity, how about it?"

Liluo pursed his lips, "Okay!"

A smile tugged at the corner of the old man's mouth, "Then, this way, please." ”

……

The walls of the empty ancestral hall are made of loess, and some leaky places are coarsely blocked with thatch. A dim candle was lit on the square table in the middle, and the undulating candlelight illuminated the gloomy faces of the three men.

All the people in the village, including the children, sat quietly around the table without making a sound.

"Excuse me. She said indifferently.

The old man glanced at the blurred tablet on one side of the confession case, and sighed.

"First question. ”

"Why did the girl and the son find us on this island where there are many people and immortal cultivators?"

"For, we have heard that you call this sea of clouds the sea of evil. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly gasped, and even the indifferent old man, with a faint look of excitement in his eyes, silently and eagerly waited for her next step.

"I think that's probably the difference between you and those people. ”

"Because—it stands to reason that your time and theirs should not be on the same line, and now you are living in the same place. ”

She was silent in the expectant eyes of everyone, while Gu Xiqian smiled and lightly clasped the table with her fingers.

"That girl-the Emperor Zhongli you are talking about, but what period is the Emperor Zhongli?"

The old man swallowed and asked the second question in a dumb voice.

This question was a little strange, even Gu Xiqian stopped the movement in his hand, and Liluo smiled unhurriedly.

"What period of Emperor Zhongli?"

She asked rhetorically, "Heh, it seems that the old man also knows that the Yuan Zhou Continent has been owned by the Zhongli clan since the rule of the imperial clan. ”

"It's just, what period is Emperor Zhongli? Of course, it must be the most dazzling period of the imperial family. ”

She also answered this in a hidden way, and the old man seemed to be aware of it, but as if he couldn't believe it, he only opened a pair of dry eyes and looked at her.

She didn't sell much either.

"The land of the Yuan and Zhou continents is vast, and the secular and the immortal cultivators coexist, and before the discovery of the Immortal Island, the great power of immortal cultivation gathered in this land. And although there are many princes and princesses in the Zhongli Imperial Family, they have also discovered the bloodline of cultivating immortals, but in the end, there are very few of them. ”
