Episode 268: Dawang Village
The vast land of Shenzhou is vast and vast, among which the Central Plains is naturally the richest. Outside the Central Plains, the north is the icy and snowy Arctic Bitter Ice Field, which is inaccessible; In the east, there is a vast and boundless sea; As for the south, there are 100,000 mountains outside the Central Plains, towering on the border, endless, where barren mountains and bad waters, miasma and poison are innumerable, and there are more strange and strange barbarians in the legend, who drink blood and are extremely ferocious.
And to the west of the vast land of China, there are two fierce places. In the northwest direction, is the endless desolate Gobi, the world calls it "the wild land", its hundreds of years without rain, the climate is extremely dry, occasionally a little oasis, but also mostly occupied by fierce beasts and fierce things, naturally ordinary people enter is a dead end. And it is rumored that in the depths of the wilderness, there is a grand temple, which is the birthplace of the Demon Sect.
As for the southwest, it is the great swamp of death that the world talks about changing color. The climate here is diametrically opposed to the wilderness of the northwest, where it rains seven or eight out of ten days of the year, and all kinds of exotic plants grow luxuriantly. This cold and damp place has always been the place where the world's great poisonous beasts and poisonous insects live, and the unique and highly toxic biogas here rises from the rotten soil in the swamp every rainy day. In addition, the bodies of animals, trees and flowers that have been soaked and rotted by rain for thousands of years have turned this place into a dangerous place, and if you accidentally take a wrong step, you will be sucked into the bottomless swamp, never see the light of day, and die miserably.
In such a dangerous place, no one will come on weekdays. But not long ago, there were sudden rumors in the world that within the Western Death Swamp, a huge golden pillar of light suddenly rose into the sky. Day and night, even in the middle of the night, the sky shines as bright as day. Three days later, the golden light gradually dissipated, and from then on, within the swamp of death. There always seemed to be a loud howl, faintly heard, terrifying those who lived on the edge of the swamp of death.
Once the news spread, it caused a sensation all over the world. From the perspective of a cultivator, spiritual artifacts have always had their own spirituality, and such a huge golden light is naturally a precursor to the birth of rare treasures. Summoning those who are destined to go. And judging from this golden pillar of light, the magic of this strange treasure is really extraordinary, and the world shook for a while, and the masters of good and evil gathered.
And under the chaos on the surface, there is an unknown undercurrent, turbulent flowing.
To the east, half a day's journey from the Death Swamp, there is a desolate and withered village. It is called "Dawang Village" because the villagers believe in a mysterious deity called "Dawang". It's just that this god has never been very effective. It does not bless the villagers here to be promoted to become wealthy, nor does it bless them with a bumper harvest of grains and worry-free food and clothing.
In fact, if you think about it, living on the edge of such a death swamp, every now and then, a monster suddenly sprang out of nowhere, or a poisonous insect ran out. Biting livestock to death is a small matter, and there are not a few people who die on it every year. Now those who have some ability have already left this ghost place and gone to the Central Plains. Most of the people who stay here are lifeless people.
But in the past few days, Dawang Murakami suddenly became lively, and the people who came and went were all masters of cultivation. Although Dawang Village is not the only entrance to the Death Swamp, it is the closest inhabited place to the Death Swamp, and before entering the Death Swamp, most people will come here to buy some dry food and water.
At the same time, because this is the closest place to the Death Swamp, the golden pillars of light and strange whistling sounds in the Death Swamp were also the first to be discovered by the villagers here, and they spread from there, so many people also came here to inquire about the news.
It's just that after there are more people, there are naturally good and evil, and after a few days, in the small place of Dawang Village, I don't know how many fights have happened, and some unlucky guys have died here inexplicably before they have entered the swamp of death, which is really wronged.
Xiao Lan never thought that he would be so kind of back this time, when he passed through the gate of the Apocalypse, he fell directly in front of the world-shattering demonic beast Black Water Snake, and before he could react, he was beaten hard, if it weren't for the fact that he had always been cautious and wore a brilliant mecha, it is estimated that he would have knelt down by now.
Seriously, although from the Western Continent of the origin world, Xiao Lan killed Bruch, one of the thirteen princes of the blood clan, in the Megatron cultivation world, he has a certain grasp of his own strength, if he is facing it, a black water snake, he still doesn't care about it, but if he is attacked by such a powerful demonic beast, he will be unable to bear it, even if he does not die, at least he will be seriously injured.
Coming back to his senses and beating the Black Water Snake severely, Xiao Lan left Daze with satisfaction and came to Dawang Village on the edge.
"It's really a good opportunity, the rookies of the Righteous Path Demon Gate are all here, as long as they are all tied up, wouldn't all the exercises in this world be able to be mastered in one fell swoop?" The more Xiao Lan thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, but he made up his mind in his heart, he had to do this vote.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a shouting sound from the street ahead, and someone said loudly: "Predict the future of fifty years, can break the fortune of three hundred years, iron mouth god, pen judgment yin and yang, want to know the future days, and come to see the previous phase!" ”
When Xiao Lan heard this, his body couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he looked at the voice. I saw that on the side of the street, there was a dilapidated wooden table, next to a bamboo pole, on which hung a canvas, with the words "immortals guiding the way" written on it. On the side of the bamboo pole, an old man with an extraordinary bearing shouted loudly, the voice just now was made by him, and next to him, there was a sleepy young woman, with a rather pretty appearance, lying on the edge of the table at the moment, with a helpless expression.
Needless to say, these two people are Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan. Zhou Zhou Xian took Xiaohuan to wander the world, his ability is not high, but he likes to go to lively places, some time ago he heard the rumors of the Death Swamp, and immediately ignored Xiaohuan's objections, and pulled her to this Dawang Village.
At this moment, in the words of Zhou Zhou Xian, it is that the entanglement is exhausted, the hero is at the end, and he has no choice but to look at the street as a last resort, but he shouted in his mouth, but gradually changed his appearance in the back: "... All the past guest officials, this immortal has the true inheritance of the ancestor, and can restrain the poison of the world. In the dead swamp today, the biogas is highly poisonous, as long as you are equipped with this sachet I sell, it will not invade the poison, and the King Kong will not be damaged..."
Xiaohuan sighed in a low voice beside him, and sat here for a few hours, and his grandfather screamed vigorously, but in fact, not a single sachet was sold. The locals believe it but can't afford it (Zhou Zhou Xian opened a black-hearted high price), but the outsiders are all people who cultivate the truth, all of them are well-informed, and their eyes are all written with the word "liar". It's also fortunate that all the righteous heroes are busy grabbing treasures and don't bother with this Xiangshi, otherwise if the blood of a high-ranking disciple suddenly boils on weekdays, and they want to eliminate harm for the people, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat and go around.
Seeing that Zhou Zhou Xian was still screaming energetically, Xiaohuan was a little impatient, stood up, and was about to stop his grandfather, when suddenly there was a flower in front of him, but there was a person standing in front of the wooden table at some point, it was a young man, wearing a light blue shirt, with beautiful eyebrows, but his face looked a little pale somehow.
"Miss, I want to see the face." There was a faint smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he was calm and authentic.
Xiaohuan frowned and looked at him, at this time, Zhou Zhou Xian also found out about the situation here, and hurriedly walked back, with a smile on his face, and said, "Guest officer, what do you want to see, fortune or marriage?" How do you look at it, look at the face, palmistry or word measurement? ”
The young man groaned slightly, and said, "I'm going to go into this dead swamp too, so help me see what the fortune is!" ”
Zhou Zhou Xian smiled and said, "No problem, no problem, come, guest officer, please take a seat." Well, let's talk about it first, we are the true inheritance of the ancestor, and our physiognomy is unparalleled, so it costs ten taels of silver to see it once..."
The young man was stunned and said, "So expensive? ”
Zhou Xian smiled but did not answer.
The young man then rolled his eyes, looked at Xiaohuan again, and smiled, "Okay then! Ten taels is ten taels. So be it! You can test the word for me first. ”
Xiaohuan glanced at him, took a blank piece of paper from the side, handed over a thin pen, and said, "Then please write a word first..."
Unexpectedly, the young man took the pen and said with a smile: "No need, I will write my name, you can help me test, what is the fortune of my name?" ”
As he spoke, he wrote three words on the white paper and handed them to Xiaohuan.
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, took it, looked at the white paper, and heard the young man smile slightly: "My name is Qin Wuyan!" (To be continued.) )
