Chapter 281: Heavenly Punishment (I)

"The sea cannot be crossed." She lightly stated this fact.

The old man's face was heavy, as if reminiscing, and he sighed sadly.

"Yes, we all saw what the sea had become, and who would force it to cross it until it was absolutely necessary?"

"Sure enough, into the depths of the sea of clouds, the black mist ...... heavily," he paused, "and many of the people who traveled with us died on the spot—we could not still deceive ourselves that they were just swallowed by the mist and teleported to Ruxian Island for a while—and the blood splashed on our faces, staining all the water around the boat red." ”

"Just when the fog was coming towards us, and we thought that death was near, who expected, when we came to our senses, we were already on this island. ”

"Did this island exist at your time?" Gu Xiqian suddenly interjected.

The old man nodded, "So we all thought that things had taken a turn for the better, but after talking to the people on the island, we realized that the island was thousands of years earlier than we lived. ”

"We can't think of a way to go back, so we want to leave the sea and go to Yuan Zhou, or Ruxian - this situation is too strange, maybe we can find those powerful local sects to get the solution. ”

"However, it was at this moment that we discovered—"

We have become ordinary secular people. ”

It's probably been a long time, and this is a major event that was originally related to life and death for immortal cultivators, but now in the mouth of the old man, it is just an understatement.

"Could it just be that the cultivation is gone? "Hesitant to leave.

"No, we found someone to touch the bones later—our root bone talent was completely changed in that black mist, and we no longer have the possibility of cultivating immortals. ”

"It's not worse. The old man looked up, and the candlelight shone against the wrinkled corners of his eyes, which were filled with deep incomprehension and frightening fear.

"No matter how we walked, whether it was by boat or by asking someone else to lead the way, we found that we couldn't leave this sea at all. ”

"We can only stay here!"

Liluo bit his lip, a little worried, and glanced back at Gu Xiqian.

"Then you know that the people on this island can leave?"

"Maybe. ”

"Perhaps?" Gu Xiqian asked rhetorically.

"Well, because there will be people from other places on the island at any time, and there are often merchants and auctions of all kinds of immortal cultivators and secular people passing by, as if they are not like us, completely uncontrolled by the region. ”

"It's just that we've never really seen them set foot on Ruxian Island or the Yuan Zhou Continent.

The old man's voice was low, and after speaking, he looked at the corner of the table as if he was in a state of flux, and said no more.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The things that were inquired about were so shocking that even for these departures that they had known a little about when they were young, they couldn't control all the emotions and shocks that emerged in their hearts, let alone Gu Xiqian, a completely native-born Ningxu person.

The children, who accompanied their parents, had never heard their village chief tell these histories, so they were ignorant and whispered inquiring.

And with the memories of the old man, the adults who seem to have experienced it again are either bitter or silent to dispel the curiosity of these children.

After a long time, the dry voice sounded again.

"We have lived here, and many young people have married each other, but none of the children we have given birth to have spiritual roots. ”

"Now that I think about it, I may have heard it right. ”

"This is probably, it's really our fate, this is the heavenly punishment - the heavenly punishment that is only valid for immortal cultivators. ”

"If we survive, we have really escaped, and we don't dare to ask for anything else. ”

The old man rubbed his hands unconsciously because of the cold, bent his back, and muttered with a blank look.

"This girl, and this son. He looked at them with earnestness, "Although I don't know how you saw through our identity, in such a place, for the sake of us who used to be immortal cultivators, for the sake of coming from the same place, after today's events are said, let's bury them in our hearts as secrets from now on." ”

"You mean, you still have to live such a life of isolation, even on this crowded island, as an alien?" the girl frowned, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

Seeing that the other party was silent, she pointed to the side, "Are you going to continue to let these children carry the life they shouldn't be carrying?"

"Whatever has happened, it has been. You have lived here for more than three generations, as you said, since the status quo is powerless to change, since you also know that you have escaped the catastrophe and do not want anything else, then why do you still have to worry about the past all the time and not let go?"

"Isn't it good to just fit into the lives of ordinary people?"

The old man suddenly became pathetic, "How dare we?!"

"At the beginning, those great powers died one after another, and they still don't know the reason, maybe this is why God does not allow us. ”

"Cultivating immortals has always been called going against the sky, probably this is really a heavenly punishment, inexplicably to this kind of place, we only dare to live secretly like this. I'm afraid that one day our hidden news will be exposed, and at that time, God will finally take back our lives that we should have taken back long ago. ”

Probably seeing the disapproval of the two opposites, he shook his head helplessly, glanced at the side, and said softly, "If it were only us, we would probably dare to try all kinds of methods." It's just that...... Now, we still have these children, and we have to be safe for the sake of these children!"

He stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them, "Please." ”

Gu Xiqian was silent for a long time before he said gently, "Don't worry, we asked so much before, and it was just because we wanted to leave here, so we came to investigate. Today's secret, we will not confide in the outside world. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

The old man responded with relief, and then remembered something at the right time, and immediately asked.

"I wonder if you two can get out of this sea?"

"To be honest, I used to be a powerful disciple of the Yuan Zhou Immortal Cultivation Sect that had at least a thousand years of inheritance. Although the incident is bizarre, and the current period is more than ours, I still have a token here, if you can go out of this sea area and show the token to the relevant people, maybe there will be a solution. ”

This might be a good idea.

However......

None of them had forgotten how they had entered this evil sea, and how they had found such an abrupt island of utter peace in the treacherous waters.

"Sorry, we probably can't. ”

Gu Xiqian said calmly.
