Long Yan looked at the surrounding scene, the surrounding walls were all thatched, and there was a bronze mirror on top of the cabinet next to it, which was covered with dust, but the central table was spotlessly clean, giving the house that seemed to be abandoned a little bit of life.

"Are you awake?"

With a creak, the door of the thatched house was pushed open, and he felt as if the thatched house was about to collapse.

What appeared in front of Long Yan was a kind old man, and in the old man's right hand he was holding a boy who was less than ten years old.

Long Yan felt that the hairs on his body stood up, what kind of place is this? This is the realm of death, how can there be human beings alive.

"Who are you?"

After thinking about it for a while, Long Yan still asked, and a kind smile appeared on the face of the old man opposite.

"It's just some mountain villagers. ”

"Yamanomura is not capable of living in this realm of death. ”

The old man didn't care about Long Yan's questioning in the slightest, he just sent the children next to him to play, and he sat on the edge of Long Yan's bed.

"As for me, I am a Gu clan who has guarded here for generations. ”

"Gu Clan?"

Long Yan was very puzzled, why he had never heard the name of the Gu clan, but seeing the woods outside the window, Long Yan also had an answer in his heart.

Can only grandchildren be called a clan?

It turned out that the old man's name was Miao Gu, and the child playing outside was his grandson Miao Nan, their grandparents were natives who had lived in the Death Swamp for generations, and they had not communicated with the outside world for many years, and the name of the Death Realm was famous in the entire Xiuzhen Realm, and no one had been able to disturb them.

The Gu clan's innate talent is to be able to communicate with insects, so they are not afraid of the erosion of the beasts around them, so they have been living peacefully, but time is always the biggest weapon, and the Gu clan, which was originally a small village, has gradually declined with time, and finally there are only grandchildren left in this village.

Long Yan listened to the old man's flat tone, but his heart was full of ups and downs, if it wasn't for going deep into the Death Swamp, he didn't know that there was such a mysterious group of people in the depths of this mountain.

When the grandfather and grandson of the Miao family were looking for food, they saved Long Yan who fell under the tree, and Long Yan knew everything after that.

Long Yan stood up with the pain on his body, and the wounds all over his body had already scarred in this short period of time, but as long as Long Yan moved, there would be a heart-piercing pain from all over his body.

"Young man, don't worry, it's a blessing to survive the attack of the human-faced bird, and you have to eat the meal in one bite. ”

Seeing that Long Yan couldn't help but want to move, the old man said with a smile, he hadn't seen such an energetic young man for a long time.

Standing up, the old man was ready to go and prepare food for Long Yan.

"You need to recuperate now, otherwise you will leave a hidden danger to your body. ”

Soon there was a sound of stir-frying from the kitchen, Long Yan found a comfortable position and leaned on the bed, anyway, there must be 100,000 mountains of eyeliner outside, so he was not in a hurry to go out.

After the injury is healed, Long Yan is not in and out of the 100,000 mountains at will.

After a while, Miao Gu put the steaming meal on the table, Long Yan sat in front of the table with Miao Nan's support, and when he saw the dishes on the plate in front of him, Long Yan almost didn't spit it out.

In front of him there were insects like white jade, Long Yan put down his chopsticks, and the moment he saw this meal, he had no appetite at all.

Originally, Long Yan was a cultivator, even if he didn't eat or drink for ten days and half a month, there was no problem.

Under the puzzled gaze of the two people, Long Yan returned to the bed, and seeing Long Yan's expression as if eating dung, Miao Gu smiled indifferently, this is a native product of their Gu clan, and it is normal for others to be unaccustomed to eating it.

"I'm sorry. ”

Long Yan glanced at Miao Gu with apologetic eyes, he had saved himself, what he had done was indeed a little rude, but in the face of the white jade insects on the plate, he really couldn't eat it.

"It's okay, it's normal that you outsiders can't eat. ”

Miao Gu didn't care about Long Yan's reaction, he planned to go back and find some normal food for Long Yan later.

"Old gentleman, don't worry, I'm a cultivator, and it's not a problem not to eat or drink for ten days and half a month. ”

"Cultivator?"

Miao Gu looked at Long Yan's eyes thoughtfully, but not greedy eyes, that look was very nostalgic, as if he was remembering something, Long Yan didn't care, so he stayed in Miao Gu's house permanently, ready to recuperate first.

The recovery speed of Long Yan's body was beyond everyone's imagination, it was originally an injury that would take at least a month to heal, but with Long Yan's physique, it only took ten days and half a month to fully recover.

Miao Gu looked at Long Yan in front of her with the eyes of a monster, there were still very few people who could be injured by the human-faced bird and still heal so quickly, but after thinking about it, she was relieved, and few people could survive the attack of the human-faced bird.

"Do you have any plans for the young man in the future?"

Looking at Long Yan sitting on the ground, Miao Gu asked with a smile, this time of getting along made Long Yan and the two of them get along very happily.

"Please let me continue to bother my husband for a while. ”

Long Yan thought for a moment and said, first of all, although the wound on his appearance was healed, the wound pierced by the old man of the Blood River with a flying sword still did not heal.

Therefore, Long Yan planned to wait for his body to be completely healed, and then rush out of the 100,000 mountains in one fell swoop, as long as he got out of the 100,000 mountains, the sky was high and the birds could fly, even if he was a god emperor level powerhouse, it would be useless.

"There's a lot of talk, but if you like it, stay longer. ”

"But I still have one more thing I want to trouble the young man. ”

Miao Gu looked at the night sky, after excluding the poisonous insects and beasts such as human-faced birds and soul-snatching centipedes, the Death Swamp was actually a very beautiful place, and the night sky here seemed so pure.

"I want you to take Xiao Nan away. ”

When he said this, Miao Gu also glanced at Miao Nan, who was playing next to him.

Hearing Miao Gu's words, Long Yan understood in his heart that Miao Gu was afraid that his own clan would be completely wiped out after his death, Miao Gu's vitality was now very weak, and Long Yan could feel the Tao through the mystery of the White Tiger.

"He hasn't seen the outside world, so I want you to take him to see it. ”

Miao Gu's eyes had a soft light, this look reminded Long Yan of the uncle who was far away in the lower world, and after he flew up, he didn't know how they were doing.

"But if I take Miao Nan away, you'll only be left alone. ”

Although Miao Gu's vitality is weak, it is not nothing, if he lives for another year or two, there will definitely be no problem, and it will definitely be impossible for Long Yan to stay for that long.

The biggest threat to people is not the strong beast, but the loneliness that keeps coming, and the loneliness will be like a rope to strangle people's necks.
