The young man walked to the hut, patted the door of the hut very carefully, and then stood aside obediently and waited.

After a while, an old man with a white beard opened the door, and walked out slowly with a mahogany cane.

"Xiao He? Didn't you go to sea? Why did you come back all of a sudden? He spoke slowly, but his words were unusually clear, as if he were not an old man.

That Xiao He nodded, "Village Chief, I was going to go to sea to find a way out, but I unexpectedly met this little brother on the way, and he said that he had just come in, and I would bring him to see you." ”

The village chief's eyes, which were originally a little cloudy, suddenly widened, and his originally somewhat old figure suddenly did not look like an old man, "You mean, there is an outside person coming in?" That's impossible! ”

He seemed to be very incredulous, "I've been waiting for it all my life, from my youth to my old age, not to mention people outside, not even a bird has flown in!" ”

"But...... He's from outside, huh? Xiao He pointed to Zhang Lingdao beside him, and the village chief realized that there was another person standing in front of the two of them, maybe he was a little old, and he only noticed it now.

Zhang Lingdao saw that it was his turn, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "After learning and entering, I have seen the old gentleman, I am still confused, I don't know if the old gentleman can tell me, where is this?" ”

The old man's eyes lit up suddenly, "I originally thought that I would never have the opportunity to see an outside person again in my life, but I didn't expect that when the old man was about to enter the ground, I would get what I wanted, and I don't know if it was fortunate or unlucky!" ”

He seemed to be a little excited, a little unable to suppress his feelings, and he didn't seem to know how to express it, but he was still able to restrain his emotions.

"Is Shaoxia from Hangzhou? If it weren't for Hangzhou, it must be from Jiuhua! The old man seemed to be very confident in himself, and said something unintelligible.

Hangzhou is near here, but Jiuhua is thousands of miles away, so how could he suddenly come here? Could it be that this secret realm has so many mysteries that he didn't know?

"The old gentleman is right, I came from Hangzhou, could it be that there is still a way to Jiuhua here?" Zhang Lingdao said his problem, anyway, he has already come, he is not afraid of what big pit the system will dig for him, he has a lot of life-saving abilities, and he still has this confidence.

"It seems that Shaoxia is really a person who has just come to this Void Cave Heaven, yes, this place is called Void Cave Heaven, it is a very wonderful place, theoretically from any secret realm entrance in the world, you can enter here."

The village chief told the origin of this secret realm, which made people feel that this was not a martial arts world, but a high-level fantasy world dressed in martial arts skin.

Although Zhang Lingdao didn't feel anything wrong, he even had a system that was completely unscientific, and he didn't care about this secret realm across all major regions, but he was still worried.

The ghost knows if there are any other secret realms in this world besides such secret realms, just like the Shen Lang classmate in the East China Sea, after he lived in seclusion with Wang Lianhua's people, he has gone to the immortals? Or are they still ambushed in some places?

Let's talk about the hidden and unannounced Flower Shifting Palace, Zhang Lingdao has already heard the names of Xiao Yuer and Hua Wufeng in the mouths of many storytellers, where is the East China Sea Flower Shifting that once dominated the world's martial arts?

"I don't know why, the village chief is so happy to see me?" Zhang Lingdao asked again, and seemed to find that he had a very important position in the eyes of these people, and he didn't know why.

"Anyway, it's just a young man, so let's talk about it!" The village chief seemed to have made some decision in his heart, and said directly, "Shaoxia may not know that he is the second person to enter this secret realm in the past hundreds of years. ”

"The second, that is, there is another one before me?" Zhang Lingdao accosted, he is very relaxed now, and his body has no reaction, it seems that it is safe here.

"Before the young man came here, that is, more than 80 years ago, there was another person who also came here. It's just that the man was an ordinary fisherman, and he left not long after he came, and no one came here again. ”

"We people have been living in this secret realm for hundreds of years! From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, our generation has lived here, and when we came, there were still hundreds of people here, but now there are less than 100. The village chief's tone was very heavy, and he said some sad news.

"Why, exactly?" Although Zhang Lingdao already knew the reason, he still had to ask.

"I don't know why, it was as if a curse had invaded our village, and it was fine at first, but after a few decades, many children suddenly became demented or disabled, died before they were born, and over time, they became fewer and fewer." The village chief uttered the news that sounded terrible in this era.

He originally thought that the young man in front of him would be frightened, but he didn't expect that Zhang Lingdao nodded thoughtfully, not intimidated by these things.

Zhang Lingdao's rich experience in exams as a child told him that this was actually just a simple biological problem, and that there was no population movement between these people, and they could only intermarry with each other.

Although it is not uncommon for people to get married in the same village in the outside world, in this kind of place, the bloodline is very fixed, which means that the marriage of close relatives is very serious.

Anyone who has studied biology knows that consanguineous marriage will aggravate the formation of genetic diseases, and continuous cross-marriage will cause the probability of genetic diseases to become higher and higher, resulting in a smaller and smaller chance of survival of children born to these people, which has caused such a tragedy.

In fact, the way to make this tragedy disappear is very simple, it is to leave this place and intermarry with people from the outside world, so that the population will grow slowly and the chance of genetic diseases will decrease.

"The old man was very surprised by the calmness of the young man, and we hope that there will be people from the outside, just to cooperate with the outside world, open an exit in the outside world, and release our clan out, so that we will not be wiped out here!" The village chief seems to be very simple.

Zhang Lingdao also seems to understand the behavior of those villagers, their intelligence does not seem to be high, although it is not to the extent of that kind of disability, but it is also lower than ordinary people.

Therefore, these people are less wary of outsiders, and they will surround them with great curiosity, which makes sense.

However, Zhang Lingdao still has some doubts, that is, what kind of place is this, how can there be such a mysterious thing?
