Section 1: Mysterious Village
The Tianshan Mountains are windy and snowy, and they are inaccessible. Especially in modern society, many people who used to live in the mountains have moved away. Out of the old mountain, towards the big city.
But somewhere in an unknown place in the Tianshan Mountains, there is always a village of zĂ i, and a group of people live in the village. But they hardly ever interact with the outside world, and there is no electricity or modern tools in the village. Even the dress is very time-traveling, as if in ancient times.
If a tourist travels here, I'm afraid they will think that they have crossed over.
The simple wooden houses, chicken sheds, duck houses, old cattle, and smoke curling are like Tao Qian's paradise.
In the middle of many wooden houses, there is a more elaborate house. The house is very large, but there is only one room, it seems to be a hall house, don't you see a tablet in the middle of the innermost part of the house? It's just that the tablet is different from the tablet of ordinary people, and there is no information that so-and-so is dead.
There are only two strong and powerful characters, the top is written 'heaven', the bottom is written 'earth', and a tablet engraved with 'heaven and earth'.
In front of the tablet there is a large furnace, the furnace is full of incense ash, and I don't know how many years of accumulation. This furnace tripod looks very retro, and there is a blue and red color all around, if this furnace tripod is a legendary bronze, it will definitely shake the world when taken out, at least it can set off an eighteen-level typhoon in the antique world.
It was already dusk in the afternoon, and the light in the room was already a little dim. But the house was full of people, and they were divided into two rows, one on one side of the door. In the middle, there stood a tall old man, but the old man had his back to the door and could not see his face.
At this time, the old man held a stick of incense in his hand, bowed three times to the plaque with the words "heaven and earth", and inserted the incense into the furnace. The old man bowed again and again before turning to face the crowd.
But when the old man turned around and faced everyone, many people still couldn't see the old man's face clearly. Not because of the light, but because of the fact that his face was like a gauze cloth, and it was like a wisp of light smoke in front of him that could block his vision.
No matter how you look, even if you get close to him, you still can't see his face clearly.
There were about 30 people in the house, both men and women, and there were no children. And being able to see the old man's face clearly is no more than a slap. But everyone didn't keep staring at the old man's face, at least not all the time into his eyes.
Because if you look at the eyes of the old man for a long time, you will have a feeling of being out of the body, as if the soul has been taken away. This is not intentional by the old man, but a natural breath.
Many people in the room bowed their heads slightly, focusing only on the old man's mouth or chin, and then waited for the old man to speak.
Village-wide gatherings like this were rarely held before, and they were not even held once a year. However, there have been a lot of events recently, and it was held once just ten days ago. It's just that I didn't expect it to be held again so soon, and every time it is held, it means that something important has happened in the village, and I don't know what it is for this time.
Usually everyone doesn't ask about these things, only the patriarch or the head of the family knows, that is, the old man who worships incense.
The last time it was held, it was to discuss who should leave the village and go to the outside world. In the end, everyone chose Hongji, who has a more stable personality and a more reliable work in the village. I don't know how Acer is doing outside, I haven't heard any news from him for several days.
The old man looked around, his face expressionless, and said quietly, "Hongji is dead, he died seven days ago. â
The old man's words were like a bombshell, and the thirty or so people in the house suddenly exploded.
"What? Acer is dead? How did he die? â
"yes, how could Acer die? Did he meet people from those sects? â
"How could Acer die? Impossible? â
"How can you die?"
ââ
In the hot discussion, there are doubts about 'how can you die'. They know best what kind of strength they have, don't look at the ordinary people outside who enjoy it very well, eat and drink spicy food, and enjoy the excellent living conditions. But compared to the body, strength, lifespan, and even intelligence, they can beat almost anyone outside.
Their living conditions are indeed not very good, but that is for cultivation, for the sake of attaining immortality, and for the sake of living with the heavens.
Hongji has the strength of the late stage of the human elephant realm, and is the best candidate to go out of the village. After all, as long as a strong person who has reached the earth realm walks out of the village and comes into contact with outsiders, he will be targeted by Providence, and will be considered by Providence to have undermined world peace.
Only people who are lower than the earth can go out relatively safely, and they can usually and appropriately attract people.
Hongji is a strong person in the late stage of the Human Elephant Realm, and only the strongest person allowed by Providence to go out. With the strength of Hongji's human elephant realm in the later stage, not to mention walking sideways outside, at least it is not a problem to save his life in the face of any situation.
Now that Acer is actually dead, and has been dead for seven days, what's going on?
So after discussing it for a while, they all looked at the patriarch and wanted to hear his explanation. Although there is no electricity or TV in the village, you can't see what the outside world is like. But the patriarch is a celestial man, and even if he doesn't have a TV, he can know what's going on outside.
The patriarch was still expressionless, and he didn't know why he was so expressional, and said, "I only found out that Hongji is dead today." â
"What? Today? â
"What? It was only calculated today, how is it possible? â
ââ
There was another noise below, and he was directly suspicious of what the patriarch said. They didn't doubt the patriarch's ability, but they doubted how it could be calculated five or six days apart. In the past, no matter what happened, if the patriarch wanted to know, he would know immediately.
For example, where a certain person is in the mountains and forests, where a certain chicken has gone, and which dog has gone, the patriarch can give an accurate answer by pinching his fingers. At this point, the patriarch has reached the Heavenly Phenomena Realm, as if he has opened the eyes of heaven, and he knows everything in the world well.
But now that the patriarch told them that he had only calculated what had happened for a few days today, how could this not make everyone wonder, it was too strange.
The patriarch cleared his throat and continued, "Hongji did die a week ago, there's nothing to doubt about it. I only figured it out today, and that's true. As for why this happens, the answer is not difficult to guess, providence. â
The patriarch stretched out a finger and pointed at the sky, and continued, "It was the providence of heaven that deliberately blinded my eyes, and only the will of heaven can blind my eyes. So why did Acer's death blind me to the providence? The answer is not difficult to guess, because of the atmospheric transporter. â
"Hongji met the Atmospheric Carrier, but he failed to kill the Atmospheric Carrier, but let himself die."
"The Atmospheric Transporter is born with the will of heaven, and whoever is killed by the Atmospheric Transporter will only have the truth after a while. If the strength is weak, it is possible that you will never be able to get stuck. â
"So now, who dares to leave the village again?" The patriarch's voice had already fallen, but it had been floating in everyone's ears for a long time.
Get out? This is a very strict question
