"Ryotaro." The old voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a few coughs.

Presumably, because of the strong wind outside, the old man couldn't stand the cold.

Lu Xiu hurriedly stood up, came to the door, and opened the door.

Outside the door was a gray-haired old man, hunched over with a cane.

He has kind eyebrows and looks very kind.

Ryotaro hurriedly walked out of the back room, saw the old man, hurriedly walked to his side, and helped him.

"Village Chief, why did you come to me?" As he spoke, he helped the old man into the room.

"I heard that there was a stranger in the village, so I came to see it."

The village chief was helped by Ryotaro to sit down, looked up at Lu Xiu and waved at him with a smile.

"Come, young man, sit."

Lu Xiu sat opposite the village chief and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what the village chief is looking for me?" ”

To be honest, the location of Ryotaro's house is remote enough in the village, and the village chief would never go to such a remote place just to take a look at Lu Xiu for no reason.

"Presumably... You're a Celestial, aren't you? The village chief said straight to the point.

"The Ascender?" Lu Xiu looked at him suspiciously.

"The world is divided into 100 floors, and there are always some people who want to go up to the top floor to see the scenery there, and these people are called the Ascenders." Ryotaro explained on the side, and then asked the village chief suspiciously, "Village chief, is there a mistake, such a weak guy... How can it be a Celestial Ascender, if he is a Celestial Ascendant, he is too self-conscious, right? ”

The village chief didn't speak, and looked at Lu Xiu with a slightly meaningful smile.

If you don't have some ability, then how do you get around the Mogu Tree?

You know, the surrounding area of the Demon Ancient Tree is all Cangtie Trees.

"I am indeed a Celestial Ascender." Lu Xiu nodded slowly, admitting his identity, but he didn't care about Ryotaro's gaffe.

"You're really, aren't you?" Ryotaro's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"So, can I entrust you with the removal of the magic tree outside the village for us?" The village chief continued.

As soon as the words fell, a dialog box popped up in front of Lu Xiu.

"The old man of the mysterious village has entrusted you with a task, whether to accept it or not."

Lu Xiu nodded without hesitation: "Yes." ”

With the three fruits on that tree alone, Lu Xiu would not let go of that Demon Ancient Tree, and this task was completely given to him.

"Good!" The old man nodded a little excitedly, and seemed to be too excited and coughed violently.

"Village Chief, don't get too excited." Ryotaro hurriedly helped the village chief pat him on the back.

"If you need anything, just ask us, and if we have, we will definitely help." After calming down his breath for a while, the village chief said solemnly towards Lu Xiu with some weakness.

"Well, it just so happens that I have a question for the village chief." Lu Xiu nodded and asked out loud, "Your village... Is there really no second exit? ”

The village chief looked at Lu Xiu with some confusion: "Why do you say this." ”

"We Ascenders have a map that shows that your village can lead to the next destination, not the end of the road."

"Isn't it because your map is wrong?" Ryotaro asked, a little annoyed.

It wasn't enough for Lu Xiu to ask him, it wasn't enough to see it all the way, and now he had to ask again in front of him, didn't he distrust him.

"Can... Show me, the map? The village chief couldn't help but say.

Lu Xiu shook his head and replied, "Our map can only be seen by ourselves. "Bunny Fly

The village chief slowly frowned when he heard this.

"Enough of you! It's all said no, no, why are you like this! If you can't produce evidence, why do you have to go your own way? Isn't it clear that we've lived here for so many years! If there was a way, we would have gone out a long time ago! Ryotaro couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

"Ryotaro." The village chief suddenly called softly, without accentuating his tone, just so plainly, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

Ryotaro was slightly stunned, and instantly calmed down: "I'm sorry... I lost my temper. ”

is obviously such a kind old man, but what he says has a lot of weight in the hearts of the young people in the village.

Should we say that the old man is not simple, or should I say that this village is not simple?

"There's actually a cave at the back of the village." The village chief said frankly, there is no intention to hide, "Our village seems to be located to protect the cave, but since the generation of our ancestors, there has been no ancestral teachings handed down, we have also been to the cave to see, except for some murals painted on the cave that we can't understand, nothing else." ”

"Mural?!" Lu Xiu was taken aback and instantly grasped the key point.

"Can you show me there?" Lu Xiu said eagerly.

The village chief looked at Lu Xiu, and then nodded towards Ryotaro.

Ryotaro reluctantly got up from the ground and said to Lu Xiu, "Come with me." ”

Looking at the backs of the two of them going out, the village chief fell into thought.

Lu Xiu and Ryotaro bypassed a field one after another, and came to the back of the hut, and a cave appeared in front of Lu Xiu.

To be honest, if it weren't for Ryotaro bringing Lu Xiu over, Lu Xiu really couldn't find this cave.

Even if the cave is at the back of the house.

Ryotaro's hut completely blocked the cave.

It seems to have been built on purpose.

But... Ryotaro obviously took Lu Xiu to his home voluntarily, if this was a secret behind the house, would Ryotaro be so relieved to bring outsiders to his home?

Contradiction... Very contradictory...

Obviously, the house deliberately went to cover the cave, but Ryotaro's behavior was telling Lu Xiu what if this cave was shown to you.

Walking into the cave, Ryotaro skillfully lit the torch.

With the faint light of the fire, Lu Xiu could see the structure inside the cave clearly.

The whole cave is narrow and long, like a road.

The walls on both sides are carved with obscure patterns.

Twisted dogs? A sun with tentacles?

Lu Xiu frowned and continued to walk forward.

All the way to the end, a wall was erected in front of the two of them.

"Look, I say, there's just no way." Ryotaro said dissatisfied.

Lu Xiu looked at the mural on the wall in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The last mural depicts only a sword.

The sword is golden, and the sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, which seems to be the legendary Xuanyuan sword.

This village... Does it have anything to do with the sword of the Holy Path?

That... Lu Xiu suddenly thought of a mural he had seen earlier, and hurried to the center of the corridor.

The mural depicts a man holding a sword full of gold, struggling to thrust into the earth.

Lu Xiu didn't understand what this sword was before, but now, it must be the Xuanyuan sword.
