The ten-kilometer mountain road is not a problem at all for Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue, and although Shen Laofeng has no strength, he grew up in this kind of mountain nest after all, so he walks as fast as the wind.

In less than half an hour, a small basin appeared in front of the hill at the foot of the mountain, the lowest depression in the center of the basin is a secluded pool, and on the gentle slope of the basin around the pool, there are many wooden buildings, interspersed with the green trees growing on the gentle slope, a paradise-like secluded village.

At this time, it is the afternoon, the villagers are working outside, looking around, there are a lot of figures around the secluded pool in the center of the basin, or in the Huan laundry, if they are playing with some children in the water, it looks very peaceful, and it is not at all obvious that this is a place that is entangled by the curse of evil.

A few minutes later, Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue followed behind Shen Lao, and finally entered the village, so when they saw the villagers who had guests coming to the door, they immediately rushed over, and all the faces were filled with kind smiles, giving people a warm and ambiguous feeling like a spring breeze.

After arriving here, Shen Laofeng seemed to have changed all of a sudden, like a child, with a heartfelt smile on his face all the time.

This time he came in a hurry, he didn't prepare too many gifts, but he deliberately bought a big bag of candy and chocolates, enough forty or fifty catties, before this bag of candy was carried by him all the way, and now as soon as he took it out, he immediately made the little ones who swarmed in the village happy, and they jumped and cheered.

When a group of little guys carried the bag of candy and retreated to the grass on the side of the hillside and began to divide up, and the villagers who surrounded them automatically separated a road, allowing Shen Lao to welcome Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue, the two guests, into the village.

After a while, the group of three people followed by a lot of villagers, and finally came to a wooden stilted building on the sunny slope of the basin.

As far as the eye can see, this stilted building is obviously the most imposing and the best terrain, and it is inhabited by the leader of the village, the patriarch of the entire generation, a kind old man who is lucky to live past the age of forty-five, according to Shen Lao.

When they came here before, Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue found that among the adults in the village, although they looked like they should be fifty or sixty years old, in fact, Shen Laofeng had already told them that there were only a dozen of the more than five hundred people in the entire village who had survived the hurdle of forty-five years old, and everyone else looked old, but it was just the same as Shen Laofeng, because of the evil curse in the blood in his body.

Among the dozen or so people in the village who are over forty-five years old, the old patriarch Bayi is one of them, and he is also the longest-lived, all of them are fifty-seven years old this year, nearly sixty years old.

However, although the old patriarch was lucky to live to fifty-seven, he obviously did not have a good life over the years, it can be said that he survived, he was only fifty-seven years old, but on the surface he looked as if he was over seventy years old, his body was withered, his hair was as pale as snow, and even the teeth in his mouth were almost gone.

These situations were only noticed by Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue after following Shen Lao and entering the stilted building, and immediately made them turn their heads and look at each other, sighing secretly.

When he heard that Shen Lao said that he had found the "phoenix eye", and it was still a yin and a yang, and he learned that all this was achieved thanks to the help of Su Xinyuan and his wife, he immediately became excited, got up and pulled a few clansmen who were sitting in the stilted building on the side, and immediately wanted to thank Su Xinyuan and the two of them.

Su Xinyuan suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, quickly got up and stopped the old patriarch and a few people, and was polite, holding each other for a while before finally giving up and temporarily bringing this matter over.

After sitting down again, Shen Lao greedily took out a small black velvet bag from his arms, opened the mouth of the bag and carefully took out the two "phoenix eyes" inside, although the shapes were different, but they all exuded bright red refraction light, which looked really gorgeous and charming.

Without waiting for Shen Lao to speak, the old patriarch Bayi took the pair of "phoenix eyes" into his hands with trembling hands, looked at them carefully with excitement, and only turned around and handed them to another clansman sitting next to him after a long time......

It wasn't until after half a pillar of incense that the two "phoenix eyes" turned around the hands of the seven or eight important people in the clan who were seated around them, and were placed back on the wooden table in the center of the crowd again.

"Old Patriarch Bayi, now the things have been recovered, but ...... We don't know exactly how to use it, or we don't ......."

Seeing that everyone's emotions gradually calmed down from the excitement, Shen Lao was greedy and spoke at the right time, and talked about the most critical thing at the moment: "Why don't we go to the valley of the back mountain to find out if that existence is still inside, perhaps, we can find some clues related to the method used by the phoenix eye from it......"

As soon as they heard this, Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue were stunned, turned their heads to look at each other, and quickly came to their senses.

There is no doubt that the existence that Shen Lao Greedy is talking about at this time should be the guy he has lived for hundreds of years before this.

Before, he and Murong Ningxue thought that it was just Shen Lao's greedy nonsense, but they didn't expect that there was such a thing, except for the clansmen of the "Immortal and Immortal Clan" in the secret realm of the Snow Domain, there were other people in this world who could live so long, which really surprised Su Xinyuan, and secretly amazed!

Hearing Shen Lao Greed suddenly mention this person, several clansmen present, including the old patriarch Bayi, all had drastic changes in their faces, and at the same time fell into a long silence.

In the end, Shen Lao's proposal was still approved, and the moment the old patriarch Bayi nodded, it seemed to evoke some extremely sad memories in his heart, and the whole person suddenly aged a lot, and his eyes seemed to dim.

After leaving the stilted building, Shen Laoyu led Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue to the depths of the north side of the basin, strangely, the clansmen in the village did not have anyone else to follow, and finally stopped under the slope at the edge of the basin, but their eyes full of hope were always locked on the backs of the three of them......

……

It is said to be the back mountain of the basin, but in fact you have to climb the peak on the north side of the basin to reach the valley below the peak.

The location of the valley is just on the sunny side, and several peaks next to it are more extreme, so this area simply does not see sunlight all year round, and just approaching the outside of the valley has already made people suddenly have a cold breath on their faces, giving people a really bad feeling.

Su Xinyuan frowned, a hint of suspicion appeared on his face, it was hard for him to imagine that people living in such a dark environment could live for hundreds of years, this is simply contrary to the scientific theory of health preservation!

"The people in the valley actually ...... Actually, it's the ancestor of our race......"

Standing outside the entrance of the valley, Shen Lao's eyes looked at the dimly lit valley in front of him, and the expression on his face became inexplicably solemn and sad, as if he was stating, as if he was talking to himself, and even his eyes became blurred: "The old ancestor has indeed lived for hundreds of years, at least...... More than ten years ago, a member of his clan was passing by on the top of the mountain when he heard his painful roar coming from the valley below......"

"According to the genealogical records of our clan, the people who live in this valley are the origin of our clan's bloodline, and the more than 500 clansmen in the village are his descendants."

According to the genealogy, he did this to atone for his sins, to repent, and to punish himself, so there is an iron law on the first page of the genealogy, which is also the testament left by the ancestor before entering the valley and imprisoning himself: all the clansmen, no matter what, are not allowed to step into the back mountain valley, unless the curse in the clansmen's bodies is lifted! Otherwise, the Ancestor would have to keep repenting and ask the gods for forgiveness......"

Speaking of this, the words in Shen Lao's greedy mouth stopped abruptly, and his expression fell into hesitation.

And Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue finally understood why he had arrived at the valley, but they suddenly stopped, and suddenly sighed.

Obviously, Shen Lao's hesitation was precisely because of this family motto left on the first page of their genealogy, and he was worried that if he entered the valley without respecting the ancestral teachings, he would alarm the old ancestors who had imprisoned and confessed in the valley, and some unpredictable changes would occur, affecting the more than 500 poor clansmen in the basin.

As soon as they thought of this, Su Xinyuan and Mu Ningxue turned their heads and glanced at each other, and after a little silence, they suddenly made a suggestion: "Or...... Let me and Ning Xue go in first, we are not members of your race, so naturally we don't need to abide by this so-called clan motto, even if there is really any god, he will not be angry with your clan because of the entry of outsiders, this is too unreasonable, even if the gods can skip eating, but Yu Shao has to have a face......

Shen Lao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the black lines in his head crawled out, but in the end, he nodded helplessly, he was not afraid of death, or worried about any danger in the valley, but the safety of all the clansmen was too heavy to allow him to have the slightest luck.

"Okay, you wait outside, let's go in and have a look......"

Seeing that Shen Lao was reluctant to agree, Su Xinyuan didn't delay too much, and nodded slightly to Mu Ningxue beside him as he spoke, and the two of them swept away, and soon rushed into the entrance of the valley......
