In the dark forest, the black strange vines are like long black snakes quietly entrenched on the trees, and the dark yellow lantern flowers are like a dim and strange lantern, reflecting the faint light of the torches, and the atmosphere is very permeating.

"What's in the sky?" An Yun suddenly spoke, in the silent woods, very abruptly.

Sun Lingyun was startled, and only came back to his senses after a while, realizing that Shi Anyun had only spoken, so he patted his little chest and said, "Heavenly? Can you go up in heaven? ”

An Yun was stunned for a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind, and he wondered: "Can't you go up to the sky?" ”

Sun Lingyun gave her a strange look and said, "We only have feet, how can we go to the sky?" ”

An Yun: "......"

"And have you ever seen anything else fly into the sky?" An Yun changed her tone and continued to ask, she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, could it be that she was thinking too much, in fact, there was no danger in the sky, the reason was actually very simple, it was because people couldn't fly?

But she quickly rejected her idea, the reason was definitely not that simple, she had noticed before, and even her divine consciousness consciously stimulated the dark forest, if there were birds in the forest, it would definitely frighten and fly into the sky. But the dark forest was calm, and there was no movement at all. And, even if there are no birds on this barberry island, at least there are monks. And according to Sun Lingyun's previous statement, when Sun Buji and the others left this island, they also relied on a black pupil to leave the dark forest, instead of flying out of the dark forest directly with the sword.

The most important thing is that An Yun's intuition tells her that she must never appear in the air.

This question seemed to stump Sun Lingyun, and he thought hard for a while. Only then did he shake his head: "I haven't seen it, there is still something in the sky?" ”

An Yun nodded secretly. Say no more, take his hand. Continue your journey into the Dark Forest. Fortunately, the dark forest looks dense, but in fact the distance between the trees is very large, and the road is very flat, so it is not difficult to walk in it.

After walking for about two hours, the two finally walked out of the dark forest, Sun Lingyun showed a happy look on his face, and pointed ahead: "Landlord, we will arrive soon, and our village is in front." ”

An Yun looked at it. I saw that in front of me was an open terrain, on which there were dozens of simple buildings made of bamboo and wood, some similar to bamboo buildings. Some figures came and went in and out of the bamboo building. Not far from the bamboo building, there are several square pieces of land, on which some ordinary crops are grown, which seem to be mortal corn. There was a puff of smoke rising from the bamboo building, and it looked as if the people in the village were cooking.

It's a peachy mountain village, quiet and comfortable, as if it is not like a cage, but a group of secluded idlers.

Sun Lingyun let go of An Yun's hand. ran all the way into the village, and kept calling Grandpa Mu, Aunt Linghua and the like.

An Yun looked around the environment, only to see that this paradise was surrounded by dark forests, or rather, this island was full of dark forests. Not in this village. The dark forest surrounded the village tightly, and when you were in it, you felt like it was surrounded by dense soldiers. Guarding the group of prisoners in the middle.

Looking at it this way, it really means a bit of a cage.

An Yun's divine sense probed out. Explore this village with your senses. Suddenly, she let out an "ah" and surveyed the village again. It took a long time to retract his senses, and he understood a little in his heart.

At this time, some people came out of the village, and the one who walked in the front was Sun Lingyun, who was dragging the hand of a white-haired old man with one hand and holding the hand of a middle-aged woman with the other.

This group of people was dressed very quaintly, as if the ancients in ancient times, with a piece of linen cloth on their bodies, a hemp rope tied around their waists, and a pair of crudely woven straw sandals under their feet.

"Grandpa Mu, it's her, she's the landlord, I found her." Sun Lingyun dragged the old man to An Yun's side, and shouted for merit.

"Okay, good, Xiao Yun'er did a good job, Xiao Yun'er is really capable. Don't drag it out, Grandpa Mu's old bones are going to be scattered by you. The old man was dragged in front of An Yun by Sun Lingyun step by step, and said panting.

"Okay, Xiao Yun'er, let us go." The middle-aged woman also said.

An Yun looked at the group of people in front of him, and they also looked at An Yun, none of them spoke, and there were curious looks in each other's eyes.

This group of people all had thin faces, extremely pale complexions, and their eyes were as calm as if they had no waves in ancient times, or rather, they were ...... Numb and indifferent. An Yun probed with his divine sense, and found that they did not have a trace of spiritual power on them, they were all a group of ordinary people.

The old man showed a mouthful of blackened teeth, and smiled at An Yun: "Old decay Mu Cangsheng, the distinguished guest is coming, and he is not welcomed, and I hope that the distinguished guest is not strange." ”

An Yun nodded, and said to the old man: "If you strayed into this room, there are many disturbing places, and you are disturbed." ”

Mu Cangsheng laughed and said: "Where did the distinguished guest speak, there are friends from afar, and they are very happy." The village of Funiu has been isolated from the rest of the world for too long, and the guests are still the first guests to visit. It is the honor of the old man to have the honor to receive distinguished guests. ”

The middle-aged woman who was called Aunt Linghua by Sun Lingyun said with a smile: "Elder, let's invite your guests into the village first, this is not the place to talk." ”

Mu Cangsheng nodded again and again: "What I said is what I said, it's old and confused." Distinguished guests are tired, please go into the village to rest. After speaking, he got out of the way and motioned for An Yun to go first.

Where would An Yun really walk in front unceremoniously, and hurriedly took Mu Cangsheng's arm and helped him walk towards the village.

Mu Cangsheng didn't dare to shout, but he couldn't break free of An Yun's hand, so he had to mumble that he didn't dare to be, and entered the village side by side with An Yun.

The rest of the village gathered around the entrance of the village, and they looked at An Yun curiously, whispering to each other.

"It's all scattered, it's all scattered, what kind of system are they all into, what are they doing here? If you frighten your guests, see that I don't pick your skin. Mu Cangsheng gasped and shouted, stretching out his hand to drive away the villagers who were pointing at An Yun.

The villagers scattered in a hurry, and they didn't look like they were afraid of the old man, laughing and scattering far away. But instead of going back to their respective houses, they stood from a distance and watched the group.

"Don't blame you. The people in the village have little knowledge, and they disturb the distinguished guests. The old man said apologetically to An Yun.

"Elders, don't be polite. Just call me An Yun. ”

"An Yun? That's a good name, that's a good one. Mu Cangsheng stopped, touched his snow-white beard and groaned.

An Yun couldn't help but laugh, and asked with a smile, "What's so good?" ”

Mu Cangsheng had a serious expression and said seriously: "There are clouds in ancient books: where I can settle down, and where the clouds rise and disappear, it is my hometown." Your guest's name is An Yun, which shows that he is a truly open-minded and chic person, with the style of the ancients. ”

An Yun smiled. Holding Mu Cangsheng's arm, under the guidance of Aunt Linghua, he entered the largest bamboo building.

The furnishings in the hall of the bamboo building are very simple, except for a pair of shabby low tables with a few futons under the low table, a small cabinet against the wall, and some household utensils hanging on the wall, but nothing else.

Mu Cangsheng first invited An Yun to sit on a futon. Then he and the middle-aged woman sat down as well, while the others stood aside and did not sit down.

Sun Lingyun cleverly ran to the cupboard, opened the cabinet and took out a wooden box. I found three more pottery bowls, took out some tea leaves from the wooden box and put them in the pottery bowls. When he was done, he carefully put the wooden box into the cupboard and ran outside in a hurry. After a while, he returned with a clay pot and added water to the three clay bowls. It was brought to An Yun, Mu Cangsheng, and Aunt Linghua.

"Distinguished guest, please drink tea." Mu Cangsheng said.

An Yun nodded. When I picked up the pottery bowl, the tea soup was blackened, and a strange smell came to my nose. She frowned slightly, raised her eyes and saw Sun Lingyun looking at her expectantly, and saw the others looking salivating, paused, and took a sip without changing her face.

"It's delicious, thank you Xiaoyun." An Yun put down the pottery bowl and nodded at Sun Lingyun.

Sun Lingyun grinned, his face flushed.

Mu Cangsheng said ashamedly: "Let the distinguished guests smile, we have been trapped on this island since our ancestors, and it has been more than 30,000 years. There is nothing on Funiu Island, and this bit of tea has been preserved from the time of the ancestors to the present, and every time only when the new elder takes office, he will make a cup of tea as a congratulatory message. Tea has long lost its original taste, but this is already the most precious thing in our Funiu Village, and I hope that the guests will not dislike it. ”

How could An Yun not know that this rotten tea was the most precious item in the village? It is precisely because of the enthusiasm of the villagers that they will drink this cup of tea soup like poison. She said a few polite words to Mu Cangsheng, indicating that she was grateful for the other party's hospitality.

Subsequently, An Yun enjoyed a crude meal accompanied by Mu Cangsheng and Aunt Linghua. The rice is corn, but the dish is one meat and two vegetables. An Yun ate it, the meat was the meat of the demon beast, and the vegetables were the leaves and branches of corn.

After the meal, Aunt Linghua personally made a cup of tea and put it in front of An Yun, and put a glass of water for Mu Cangsheng, while she sat aside.

"Distinguished guest, I heard Xiao Yun'er say that you are here to save us?" The old man was silent for a while, and then asked straight to the point. After asking, the cloudy eyes looked at her fixedly.

An Yun raised his head, saw Mu Cangsheng and Aunt Linghua looking at him with blank eyes, paused, and decided to tell the truth.

"Don't hide it from the old man, I actually strayed into this place, and I don't even know how to leave, and I don't know how to help you."

Mu Cangsheng and Aunt Linghua sighed slightly, but there was no disappointment on their faces, they had always expected this result, so they didn't have much hope. If there is no hope, they will naturally not be disappointed, and they have long been desperate for tens of thousands of years.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you." An Yun sighed in a low voice. She is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and she can't protect herself, and she doesn't know if there is a way to leave this Funiu Island and return to the Three Realms.

Mu Cangsheng shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize, this matter is hopeless, to be honest, we people have already despaired." Dying here for the rest of our lives is a destiny that we have been destined for thousands of years. ”

An Yun was silent, and in front of him was a group of sinners from the cultivation world, and their fate was indeed predestined.

"Elder, just call me An Yun."

"Okay, Anyun." Mu Cangsheng was as good as a stream, and asked again: "I don't know where Anyun is from?" Is it the Qingying Continent or the Cangwu Continent, or the Linhai Prefecture? Yang or the Northern Underworld? ”

"Born in the Qingming Continent, from Linhai Prefecture." An Yun replied.

"The Blue Continent!" Mu Cangsheng sighed: "According to our ancestors, our ancestral land is also from the Qingyin Continent, and we and An Yun are also fellow villagers. If you can see your fellow countrymen after 10,000 years, God will not treat you badly. It's just Anyun, how did you come here? You're young, hey, it's a pity! ”

"Is there really no way to leave here?" An Yun asked.

"Miss Anyun, do you know where this is?" Aunt Linghua, who had been silent, spoke.

An Yun nodded.

Mu Cangsheng and Aunt Linghua glanced at each other and said curiously, "You know? Could it be that the monastic world has not forgotten us sinners? ”

An Yun shook his head: "Very few people know about the events of the past, and I also know about them occasionally. In Linhai Prefecture, Elder Sun Buer once asked me to help his people get out of trouble in the future, if they could. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yun'er has seen me in her dreams and even sensed my arrival. ”

"Sun Fuji?" Mu Cangsheng became excited, and an abnormal blood color appeared on his pale face full of wrinkles: "Sun Buer is still alive?" Did he really go out? ”

Aunt Linghua also stood up excitedly, staring at An Yun with burning eyes, waiting for her answer.

An Yun nodded affirmatively: "He went out, crossed the Netherworld Sea, and returned to Linhai Prefecture." I used to know about his past, he suddenly appeared thirty years ago, he was a loose cultivator in the Linhai Prefecture monastic circle, and then joined Kuaiyimen, and I was the same disciple as him. ”

Mu Cangsheng shouted excitedly and sat down on the ground. Aunt Linghua hurriedly helped him up, but tears rolled out of her eyes.

"And how is he now?" Aunt Linghua's voice trembled, and she looked at An Yun eagerly.

An Yun was silent for a while, she felt that Aunt Linghua's feelings for Sun Buer didn't seem to be ordinary, she hesitated for a moment, and sighed, "He's dead." ”

"What? What did you say? Aunt Linghua seemed to have been struck by lightning, her expression was suddenly dazed, and she asked.

"How is that possible? How can it be? Mu Cangsheng also said in a trembling voice: "That kid did everything possible to go out regardless of the danger, promising to come back and take everyone away, how could he die like this?" He has been a man of his word since he was a child, and he will definitely not break his promise, why did he die? Why did he die? ”

"Ah, it hurts me too." Aunt Linghua screamed miserably, her head drooped, and she fell heavily to the ground.

An Yun was startled, stretched out his hand to reach out to her, and said to Mu Cangsheng: "Elder, don't worry, she just fainted, it's no big deal." (To be continued......)
