Time is fleeting, it is three days later in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaoqi at this time, it is thousands of miles away from the ten-mile slope of Kaiyang, three days ago, he and the old donkey set off and left, with the help of the small transfer array of the barbarian stone city, away from the center of the storm.

In three days, under Jiang Xiaoqi's questioning, the old donkey reluctantly confided some secrets it knew.

Under that yin-yang lake, there is actually a grand palace, called Zhaoyang, which is an ancient palace that exists in legends.

It is rumored that Zhaoyang Hall is a mysterious ancient tomb, in which the gods of death are buried, this palace is not actually the remains of Kaiyang, it is reported that it is the founding ancestor of Kaiyang, excavated from the Xiling, said to be the former Tiangong side hall, containing mysterious power.

However, soon after this Zhaoyang Hall stood in Kaiyang, there were countless mysterious things, the disciples of the sect died violently inexplicably, died tragically in the clan, and some went crazy, saying that they saw what fairy palace, which shocked the entire Dongxu at that time.

Therefore, the ancestor of Kaiyang's Kai faction used great mana to seal this Zhaoyang Hall into the Yin Yang Lake, and after that, it became a forbidden place in Kaiyang, prohibiting outsiders from setting foot on it, and the matter came to an end and was gradually forgotten.

As for this yin and yang lake, many people say that it was jointly established by the ancestor of Kaiyang and a Taoist ancestor, which contains the Taoist theory of five elements of yin and yang, as well as Kaiyang's unique sealing method, even if it is a transcendent saint, it is difficult to break through.

Over time, no one knows how to enter this Zhaoyang Hall except for the holy masters of Kaiyang, but many people say that in fact, among Taoists, there is still a technique to crack this Yin Yang Array, of course, this is just a rumor, after all, no one dares to question among the mysterious and powerful Taoists.

However, what happened after that made the mysterious and strange Zhaoyang Hall reappear in everyone's sight, and it was that incident that made the Zhaoyang Hall and Changsheng involved in a wonderful relationship.

It's been too long, and I can't remember the specific date, but I can only vaguely estimate that about tens of millions of years ago, a supreme powerhouse in Kaiyang, under the witness of countless people, fought a decisive battle with an imperial lord in Dadu, spilled blood in the sky, and fell.

That battle attracted the attention of countless people, and the battle between the two people standing at the top of the pyramid had an extremely far-reaching impact, but unfortunately, in the expectation and blessing of countless people in Dongxu, the top powerhouse of Kaiyang still fell.

Just when everyone thought that this was over, but a scene that shocked countless people happened, Kaiyang, the fallen top powerhouse, was actually reborn and returned in the Zhaoyang Palace, and came to the world again with an invincible attitude, crushing the emperor of the capital and reaching the top.

It is precisely because of this bizarre and strange thing that the Zhaoyang Palace, which has been sealed for many years, has reappeared in people's sight.

Many people speculate that the supreme powerhouse of Kaiyang is because of the power of the gods existing in the Zhaoyang Palace, he has been resurrected again, and his strength has reached a higher level, extending his lifespan for nearly a thousand years.

Although the supreme powerhouse disappeared after the Great War, many people came out, but in fact, he gained the power of immortality and left this world.

Some people also say that the strong man is not dead, and has always existed in the Zhaoyang Hall of Kaiyang.

All kinds of rumors became more and more mysterious, and directly pushed the Zhaoyang Hall to the forefront, although the Kaiyang Holy Lord at that time had come out to clarify that the resurrection of the strong man was not the power of the Zhaoyang Palace, but the effect was very small, no one believed it, they all thought that they wanted to swallow the Zhaoyang Palace privately and enjoy the secret of immortality alone.

Now, with the fall of the Kaiyang Holy Land, the records of the Zhaoyang Temple are gradually submerged, and only in the holy places that have been inherited for a long time, there are only a few records.

Among them, all the records that are linked to the Zhaoyang Hall are all linked to immortality.

This is also the reason why the birth of the Kaiyang Ruins will affect so many old guys, because of the restrictions of Shouyuan, these people can only pin their hopes on the mysterious Zhaoyang Palace.

Going around and around, Jiang Xiaoqi finally found a remote mountain village in the eastern part of the Central Domain, the village is full of farmers for generations, making a living from farming, because of the birth of the Kaiyang Holy Land and the extra sun in the sky, the crops in the village have been burned.

In front of me, this village full of rural atmosphere, with many courtyards have been dilapidated, emitting thick black smoke, which is estimated to have suffered from the previous meteor falling from the sky.

There are many children in the village, all of whom are hugged by the adults and hide in the corner, looking at their sallow faces, it is estimated that they have not eaten for a long time, seeing the arrival of Jiang Xiaoqi and the old donkey, the villagers just sighed and glanced at it.

Looking at the hungry and emaciated villagers in front of him, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but think of the small village where he had lived for more than ten years, and the people there were just as simple, ignorant of the world, and there was no intrigue outside, but unfortunately, everything was gone.

"Little brother, you're hungry. ”

Just when Jiang Xiaoqi was distracted from the scene in front of him, on the side, a little girl ran over from the corner of the adobe wall, wearing tattered clothes, full of mud, the small shoes on her feet were showing her toes, two pigtails were tied behind her head, and some sallow little faces were full of innocence.

"Come, brother, here's something to eat, for you. ”

Squatting down, Jiang Xiaoqi looked at the little girl who was only knee-high, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately raised his hand, and in a flash of light, a pickled leg of lamb appeared in his hand and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you, brother. ”

Timidly hugged the leg of mutton handed by Jiang Xiaoqi, the little girl smiled sweetly, bowed to Jiang Xiaoqi, and ran away with the leg of mutton.

Soon after, the little girl holding the leg of mutton ran to a corner, laboriously tore a piece of muscle from the leg of mutton, and handed it to the mouth of a sick woman, her little hands trembling, very careful.

Although it was quite far away, Jiang Xiaoqi could still hear the little girl's gurgling little belly, it was obvious that she was hungry herself, but she was very sensible and fed it to the woman's mouth, looking at the age, it was estimated that it should be the little girl's mother.

"Brother, brother, hungry. ”

Seeing the little girl leave from Jiang Xiaoqi holding a leg of mutton, many children around her came in a flock, surrounding Jiang Xiaoqi, and opened her mouth pitifully, begging like this.

"Don't rob it, there's still one here. ”

Looking at the many children gathered around, Jiang Xiaoqi did not have any impatience on his face, but carefully took out a lot of food prepared before from the space bracelet and distributed them to these children one by one.

Jiang Xiaoqi is not the kind of kind and good person, but the scene in front of him made him feel sad, and he couldn't help but think back to himself in his previous life, and the kind of life at that time was not even as happy as these children.

Maybe it was because he saw that these children were pitiful, and the old donkey, who had never looked at people squarely, was also patient at this moment, and took out some food and handed it to these children.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoqi finally discovered that the old donkey was hiding really deeply, under its straight ears, there was something similar to a copper bell, the size of a fingernail, which had been covered by its long hair, until the light flashed there just now, Jiang Xiaoqi found that there was actually a space magic weapon hidden there, looking at that exquisite appearance, it was obviously more precious than the space bracelet he was wearing.

"Thank you, benefactor, you saved the lives of our entire village. ”

Just when Jiang Xiaoqi was looking at the scattered children with a smile on his aunt's face, an old voice suddenly came from behind him, and when he turned around, a thin and old figure appeared in Jiang Xiaoqi's sight, with gray hair.

The old man was the eldest of the village chiefs, and at this time the old man was on a peachwood cane, followed by a thin middle-aged man, raising his hand to wrap around him.

Seeing Jiang Xiaoqi turn around, the old man on crutches was supported by the middle-aged man, and he actually wanted to salute Jiang Xiaoqi, and his wrinkled face was full of gratitude.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoqi hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the old man's move to salute, and waved his hand again and again.

"The old man can't help this, I'm a junior, how can I accept such a big gift from you. ”

Turning sideways slightly, Jiang Xiaoqi swept to the old man's side, hurriedly helped the old man's body up, did not accept this salute, waved his hand, and explained with a smile.

"I'm just passing by here, by the way, there is not much favor, the old man doesn't care too much. ”

"You don't have to call me a benefactor, just call me Xiaoqi. ”

Holding the old man's arm with a smile, Jiang Xiaoqi immediately spoke, saying so kindly.

"Hey, old man, why are you patronizing and thanking him, I have also given you so many things, don't you show it?"

On the side, the old donkey looked at the old man and Jiang Xiaoqi's smiling and chatty appearance, immediately stopped, took two steps suddenly, came to Jiang Xiaoqi's side, tilted his head, glanced at the old man with a slanted face, and shouted like this.

The old man who was supported by Jiang Xiaoqi saw a donkey popping out in front of him, and he could talk, and he was almost frightened and sat on the ground.

"Stay there, you're everywhere. ”

Turning his head and glaring at the old donkey, Jiang Xiaoqi raised his hand to pull it aside, and with a smile and a smile, he carried the old man to the center of the village, sat down on the stone bench under the big willow tree, and talked carefully.

And the old man, while smiling and telling Jiang Xiaoqi, occasionally glanced at the old donkey walking in the distance, his eyes were full of surprise.

After all, in their remote dislocation, no one can practice, and the cultivators they see can already be regarded as immortals, where have they seen talking donkeys, which makes the old man's heart strange and curious.

"Old man, is there anything else to eat in the village?"

Sitting on the stone bench, Jiang Xiaoqi chatted with the old man, and after looking around, he asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Alas, don't tell you Xiaoqi, there is no food in this village for a long time, and everyone still has some surplus food, and they can survive it if they are tight, and wait for the next season to harvest. ”

"But who would have thought that some time ago a group of horse bandits came to the village and took away all the dry food they could eat. ”

Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's inquiry, the old man sighed, a touch of hatred flashed over his sallow face, and when he spoke, the hand holding the cane trembled slightly, which showed his hatred for those bandits.

"When I first came, I saw that there were mountains and forests not far from the existence, so why didn't I hunt some wild beasts to eat?"

Patting the old man's trembling palm, Jiang Xiaoqi comforted him, and after groaning, he opened his mouth again, and asked with some doubts.

When he and the old donkey came just now, they did see that there were mountains and forests not far away, and there should be some wild beasts in the lush appearance, and it should be enough to fill their stomachs.

"Alas, you are right, there are mountains and forests not far from the village, and there used to be hunters in the village, who occasionally went into the mountains to hunt and improve their food. ”

"But some time ago, three groups of people from the village went up the mountain one after the other, wanting to hunt some prey for the people in the village to eat, but who would have thought that they would never come back once they went. ”

Listening to Jiang Xiaoqi's inquiry, the old man sighed again, looked at the lush mountains and forests in the distance outside the village with cloudy eyes, and opened his mouth with some sadness, telling about the process of the people in the village going into the mountains to hunt before, but the result was that they all went and never returned, resulting in more than half of the young adults in the village dying in the mountains, and no one dared to enter the mountains after that.

After the old man finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting next to him opened his mouth to add, and as he spoke, his face became more and more pale and a little frightened.

This person was the only one in the village who came back alive after entering the mountain, sitting on the side, telling Jiang Xiaoqi about the scene that happened in the mountains and forests, and the terrible scene of the village's tragic death in the mouth of the beast is still vivid, and it is terrifying to recall.

"It's supposed to be a beast tide. ”

According to some scenes told by the old man and the middle-aged man, Jiang Xiaoqi roughly judged what was happening in the mountain forest, but what made him puzzled was that although this mountain forest was continuous, the scale was not too large, and the probability of a beast tide in such a mountain was very small.

But listening to their words, it should be a beast tide.

"Old man, you can rest here for a while, let the people in the village who still have strength set up the cauldron, and we will have a big meal in the evening. ”

"Brother Donkey, go, follow me into the mountain. ”

After groaning, Jiang Xiaoqi patted the back of the old man's hand, stood up with a smile, and spoke to him like this, and then called the old donkey who was rolling lazily in the distance, and was about to set off into the mountain.

"Don't benefactor, the beast is too fierce in there, and you alone are invincible. ”

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoqi was actually planning to enter the mountain, the old man hurriedly stood up, a touch of anxiety flashed across his face, and he opened his mouth tremblingly, and said dissuasion.

He was afraid that Jiang Xiaoqi would be young and vigorous, and he would make some reckless moves for a while, and then lose his life in vain.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoqi groaned slightly in his heart, and then, he turned around and smiled lightly at the old man, and then, everyone saw that the light in his palm was condensed, and then he threw it out violently, and the next moment, a mound in the distance was razed to the ground, rolling up the sky full of smoke and dust.

"It turns out that the benefactor is actually an immortal, and he is clumsy. ”

Jiang Xiaoqi's hand made the people in the village in an uproar, and on the side, the old man's eyes looking at Jiang Xiaoqi gradually changed, he opened his mouth tremblingly, and he was about to kneel down again, but Jiang Xiaoqi hurriedly stopped him.

"Brother, I'm going too. ”

Just as Jiang Xiaoqi grabbed the old donkey's ears and was about to leave, suddenly, a petite figure appeared in front of him, which was the little girl who first begged Jiang Xiaoqi for food.

At this moment, she was looking at Jiang Xiaoqi with a look of hope, pouting and begging.

"Little Mani, don't mess around. ”

Seeing the little girl's pleading, the old man spoke first, and said this to her in a somewhat stern tone.

Hearing this, Xiao Mani glanced at the village chief timidly, but she didn't speak anymore, her two little hands kept pulling her fingers, but those big eyes were still staring at Jiang Xiaoqi hopefully.

"Village chief, it's okay, I'll take her with me. ”

"Don't worry, I'll bring her back safely. ”

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoqi smiled at the corner of his mouth, bent down and hugged Xiao Mani, opened his mouth to the village chief behind him, and cast a reassuring look, and then pulled the reluctant old donkey and headed towards the mountains and forests outside the village.

"Beware, benefactor. ”

In the middle of the village, people looked at Jiang Xiaoqi who disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes, they didn't expect that this young man, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, turned out to be an immortal, so that the people in their village would not have to be starved to death.

"Go quickly, don't stand here stupidly, didn't hear what the benefactor said, hurry up and set up a pot to boil water. ”

Seeing Jiang Xiaoqi leave, the village chief immediately turned around and shouted at the distracted villagers around him, a flush flashed across his sallow face, and his hand on crutches trembled with excitement, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
