This village is not big, Li Qingyu and Yu Chen walked for only a few minutes before they walked to the two-story building, passing by about six or seven families along the way, each of which did not have a courtyard gate, but no one was outside, they all stayed in the house and did not come out, and they did not know why.

The courtyard of the two-story building was larger than the ones they had seen before, but unlike those small courtyards, this courtyard had a door, and there was a metal bell hanging on the door, the size of two adult fists, although it was not very regular, but it was the most delicate object the two of them had seen after entering the village.

Li Qingyu didn't call the door directly, but reached out and pulled the bell, and a crisp sound came out, the sound was very loud, if the people in the house were not sleeping, they should be able to hear it.

Sure enough, after a while, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed like Lu Zhao, opened the courtyard door, and then stared blankly at the two strangers outside the door, and after a long time, she ran back with a scream like a ghost, and didn't even close the courtyard door, and said something in a language they didn't understand while running, presumably calling the adults in the house.

Li Qingyu stretched out his hand to push the courtyard door open, but did not enter the courtyard, but only allowed himself to see the scene in the courtyard, and still stood at the door waiting for the real owner to come out.

Not long after the little girl ran into the house, an old woman came out with a wooden cane, but judging by the steady steps of her steps, the wooden staff should have been just a decoration.

Although the old woman looked seventy or eighty years old, her eyes were not as cloudy as those of ordinary old people, but as clear and transparent as the little girl just now, and she always felt that she could see through people when she stared at them.

Li Qingyu felt a little uncomfortable, but the divine thoughts that came out gave her confidence, because this old woman was indeed an ordinary person without spiritual power, but her physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary old people, I don't know if it was because of the different living environment.

"Hello, is this the elder of this village? We are travelers passing by. Seeing that there is a village here, I specially came in to have a look. ”

The old woman carefully looked at the two young people from outside, and only after a long time did she say word by word: "You are all immortals, right?" Although it is a question sentence, the tone is very affirmative.

Immortals?

Knowing that what she said was spirituality, Li Qingyu hesitated slightly, glanced back at Yu Chen, who was standing behind him, and nodded only after seeing that he had no objection.

Actually, she was a little curious about the title.

Although ordinary human beings in the world of all spirits cannot come into contact with spirituality all the time in their lives, it is not a secret that there is a topic of spirituality, and generally speaking, they will call spiritual cultivators "cultivators", and when they talk about it in private, they also say "cultivators". Occasionally, people in remote areas would refer to them as "immortals" or "immortals", but so far, she had never heard of any region where people called spiritual practitioners "immortals".

Could it be that these people have another heritage?

This is not impossible, it is difficult for natural conditions like Qiuling Mayang to allow the human beings living in it to communicate frequently with the outside world, and it is reasonable to become independent of a separate inheritance, not to mention that they obviously have an independent language and obviously have their own civilization.

Of course, the old woman didn't know that Li Qingyu was guessing her inheritance in a very short period of time, but turned sideways slightly to open the courtyard door: "Please come in, my family hasn't received immortals for decades." ”

Decades?

While walking inside. Li Qingyu thought at the same time: Although there are not many people who have crossed the Autumn Ling Mayang, it is not that there is not one for decades, presumably because this place is really remote and inconvenient to find, or even if you see it, you don't come in to take a look, and it is rare for the two of them to behave like this.

Yu Chen followed behind Li Qingyu without saying a word. Taking advantage of his inconspicuous pupils, he looked around at the courtyard, and then quickly judged the family—a "noble" family that did not work.

When they walked from the entrance of the village, they saw nearly half of the courtyards, and each courtyard had more or less some labor tools, and some were agricultural tools. Some were hunting gear, apparently used for daily life, but none of them were seen in the courtyard. And there was a stack of chopped firewood piled up in the corner of the courtyard, but there were no axes or other wood-splitting tools around, and the stacks of firewood were of different sizes and shapes, and they did not seem to be from one person, but seemed to be the result of many families combined, so he finally made a judgment that this family should be a "nobleman" worshipped by the people of this village.

Although a small village may not be able to find out any earth-shattering secrets, but since this family is a "noble", then at least the information about this village should be quite complete, and it is not a loss to inquire, just take advantage of this time to rest.

The two of them found two wooden chairs and sat down in this room, which looked simple but could be arranged like this under such conditions, and waited for the old woman to speak.

As for the little girl who appeared at the beginning, she was not here, Li Qingyu "saw" through her divine thoughts that she was secretly observing them through the gap in the floor on the second floor.

Soon, under Li Qingyu's conscious inquiry, the old woman told the two of them all the useful information she knew, including the origin of this village.

It turned out that this village was originally founded by two lowly spiritual cultivators with a few ordinary human followers in order to hide from the enemy family and hide in this huge mountain range, and then the two spiritual cultivators died, and the ordinary people who followed them had settled here for decades, and there was no way to leave with their families, so they simply settled here, and then gradually developed into a small village, which was managed by the descendants of the descendants of the two most trusted spiritual people as elders, although they lived very comfortably away from the hustle and bustle.

"Then you have lived here for generations, don't you want to go back outside?" Li Qingyu couldn't quite understand the thoughts of these humans, so he simply asked directly to see what answers he could get.

The old woman's face couldn't be seen because of her old age, but her eyes revealed a trace of indifference: "What are you going to do outside?" If it weren't for the hunting, our ancestors wouldn't have come here, is there anything bad about living here? ”

Li Qingyu still didn't understand her thoughts, so she had to turn her head to look at Yu Chen, hoping that he could give an answer.

Receiving the inquiring look, Yu Chen explained in a low voice: "She has lived here all her life, safe and stable, she doesn't know how people outside live, she only knows that someone has hunted down her ancestors, do you think she will choose to leave here?" ”

Finally understood a little meaning, Li Qingyu thought about it and still asked: "Then none of you descendants want to leave?" ”

"Yes, how could it not be, my son just wanted to go out and see if he wanted to go crazy, and wanted to leave with what he thought he was well prepared, but it didn't take long for him to come back with an arm and a leg, and he asked me to raise him, and finally died in front of me, without an immortal to lead the way, where can we get out?"

Thinking of the mountain that he had just climbed before, Li Qingyu felt that this was indeed a bit too difficult for ordinary people.

"There was a repair before us...... Eh, the immortals came, didn't they do anything? ”

"Yes, some of them didn't take anything, they asked some questions and left, and some of them took some healing herbs from us, but none of them wanted to take us away."

It's hard for them to leave on their own, and they take you with them...... After Li Qingyu vomited a bad sentence in her heart, she turned her attention to the herbs that the old woman had just said.

"What do your herbs look like for healing?"

"It's all grown by ourselves, in the field behind the village, no matter what disease can be cured, if you want to see it, I can take you there, but because I picked a lot of it some time ago, and the rest still needs to germinate, so I can't give it to you."

"Oh, I'll see, I won't want it." Even if you take it secretly, where will you know?

The old woman looked very trusting of them and led them towards the back of the village with a wooden cane, but they didn't go far to arrive, and the so-called village queen was behind their house, only separated by a fence.

Li Qingyu's eyes lit up as soon as he saw those herbs, because the kind of grass that seemed to be generally fed to cattle and sheep was a kind of "small spirit grass" that could be mixed in no matter what kind of pill recipe, which could stabilize the medicinal properties and increase the effect of the pill rate, especially in the early stage of alchemy, with a small spirit grass, it could reduce a lot of waste pills, although the average ground level alchemist would not care about such herbs, but it was suitable for her current situation, you must know that she is not particularly familiar with the method of water refining!

So after saying goodbye to the old woman, the two did not leave the village too far, waited for the sky to get dark in a small forest, pinched the invisibility trick and walked towards the spiritual grass field, used spiritual power to give birth to small spiritual grass, harvested one stubble after another of small spiritual grass, and finally threw the large bundle of spiritual grass into the storage ring, and looked at the spiritual grass field that seemed to be no different from the beginning before leaving.

With the harvest, although it is not much, it is enough to change the mood of the two, if it is not for Li Qingyu to pull, Yu Chen even wants to fly at night, but fortunately, he just said that, otherwise he is really looking for death.

Early the next morning, Li Qingyu, who had turned back into grass seeds, got into Yu Chen's collar again, and Yu Chen spread his wings and fluttered a few times in place and flew towards a high place.

Autumn Mayang didn't know how wide it was, they had only crossed a mountain now, and there was still a lot of distance ahead, and he might encounter danger in the process, so he had to be careful at all times.

But I don't know if it's because the character is too good, although the stop-and-go speed is not fast, but they have been flying for half a month, they haven't encountered any major dangers, seeing that the height of the mountain is getting lower and lower, presumably it will not be long before they can reach the range of the Soul Ridge, they finally breathed a sigh of relief-
