Silver Dust closed his eyes, his ears filled with the primordial singing of primitive people, and compared to their dancing, their singing was almost divine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it is rough, simple, unadorned, and without any formal training, the song is too pure, like the most brilliant starlight at this moment, as if it is the purest night at this time. Listening to their singing, Silver Dust actually shed tears unconsciously, because he only realized at this time that he could really relax, without worrying about being raided, stolen, and conspiringly relaxed, and relaxed the nerves of an otherworldly mage that had been tense for ten years.

The people here are simple and almost stupid, generous and kind almost ignorant, they have lived in this small mountain village for a few years or even a thousand years, they must have experienced a lot of turmoil and changes, right? But they are still pure, still naïve, they can still dance and party for a full meal, and they can still open their stomachs without hesitation for the words of the witch or the village chief.

They don't have the word for everyone, they have almost nothing to do with civilization, but they have never been tempted by selfishness and money, because everyone and everything here is public, and everything that has been witched by witches belongs to everyone else.

This is a primitive village in the later period of the matrilineal clan commune, and even private ownership is not complete.

Yinchen listened to the innocent and joyful singing of those people from the heart, and really completely relaxed his consciousness and fell into a deep sleep, this day, he didn't get any information about the Weeping Bloodstone, and he didn't even have time to ask, but he didn't care, it was also a pleasant thing to be able to let go of his guard that had not been relaxed for ten years in a remote and primitive small village that was thousands of miles away from the Fengyuan Continent, right?

"Yating, I'm finally a little happier at this moment, right?"

......

The singing of the villagers was very noisy, especially the primitive drum sound, any normal person in the Wind Source Continent would never be able to sleep after listening to it, but Silver Dust slept sweetly, however, when the singing and drumming suddenly stopped, Silver Dust suddenly opened his eyes as if he was awakened by some invisible huge sound.

He only saw a panicked, skinny little girl, and he didn't see the giant.

"Where's the giant?" Silverdust asked the girl.

The girl didn't speak, her lips were biting tightly, and she stretched out her thin arms and even more slender black-and-yellow fingers in a certain direction.

Silverdust turned in that direction, and he saw a wall of people, and between his stout legs and him, there was a campfire that was burning but untended.

The smoke from the campfire was still hot, but the atmosphere seemed to be heavy and cold. Yinchen stood up, and before he could take the next step, he heard a voice from the middle of the human wall, a voice full of horror, suspicion and even hatred: "He's back!"

"Who's back?" Yinchen blurted out, but no one answered him, so he had to get up and go around the human wall.

One person, facing everyone, this is what Silver Dust sees.

Not some demon who once slaughtered the village, just a person who was roughly similar to these people. Silver Dust was a little disappointed, he thought that an ancient wizard from the legendary realm had returned to this Dragon Valley Village to ask for an explanation for his past failure.

Of course, for Silver Dust, the result of that was for an ancient wizard or demon to kneel in front of the Chi You Wanhua Technique and beg for mercy - even if it was a primordial infant master, Silver Dust didn't pay much attention to it now.

It was a man dressed in real silk clothes, and his appearance from these primitive tribes was hardly goodbye, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thick beard and hair, but what he wore was no longer a rough animal skin, but a silk robe of a new style and cut to fit. He stood in front of those people with a complicated look in his eyes.

"I'm back. The man said.

"You shouldn't have come back, Force!" said Ju, who abruptly parted the crowd and walked forward, finally stopping in front of the man called Force, who was infinitely far apart by a foot and three inches.

The physical distance is less than one foot and four inches, but the distance in the non-physical sense is forever far away.

Neither of them hugged each other, and in Ryugu Village, such a meeting was a bit rude.

"I must come back, brother. "I must share my findings with everyone in my hometown, just like the prey I once struck," he said firmly. ”

"Each of us is willing to share your things!" Behind the giant, the voice of the village chief came: "Li, let's go! Get out of here! Never come back! Before the old people and witches arrive, let's go! Otherwise, it's too late!"

"I don't! I don't!" Li's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, as if suddenly many invisible sorghum roots had grown from the soles of his feet. With a huge roar, he picked up his thick arms and hugged his strength, carried him up, and rushed towards the clouds that would not disperse all year round.

He had only charged three steps before he was forced to stop, his big eyes full of despair.

"Let him go, and those who blaspheme the Holy Way will be punished. A cold voice came from the darkness of the night, where the fire could not be illuminated.

The cold voice was like some kind of urging magic sound, petrifying the huge figure in an instant, and the tall man's whole body trembled slightly, I don't know whether it was fear, or grief, or the panic and shame of being caught first, in short, he froze in place as if he had suddenly lost most of his bodily functions, and he didn't know what to do.

"Mikomi-sama......" The huge voice was dry and hollow, and for the first time, Silver Dust realized that his voice could be so ugly.

"Let him go, I won't hold you accountable. The witch's tone was cold, as if she lacked human feelings, but Silver Dust keenly felt that there were too many emotions suppressed in her voice.

Silver Dust sensed that she seemed to be forced to say such things by something intangible.

"Let me go, brother, I have something to say to you. Li said, he was also a strong man, if he really struggled to resist, ** could not have subdued him so quickly, but from the moment the giant carried him on his shoulders, he never struggled too much.

The giant photo was done, and the witch in the darkness issued a new order:

"Gong, let a few people watch him, don't let him run away, something happened, the responsibility is on you. ”

She threw down the words, and turned away, and the sound of her footsteps was particularly piercing in the darkness of the fire, like a poem of evil spirits.

Ju and Li both turned around, the two big men took the straw rope, tied up the force that had no will to resist, Ju hung his head and even shrugged his shoulders a little like crying, and when he turned around, he inadvertently saw Silver Dust.

He walked over and patted Silver Dust on the shoulder, so that he could not be suspended and hit him directly into the ground. "Come with me, let's go find the cocoon. The loud voice was solemn and deep.

Cocoon, the village's agronomist, lives in a shack closest to the farmland in the village, and is looking at a broken hoe with a sad face.

The hoe was not iron, of course, but made of a piece of stone that had been repeatedly polished with a fairly sharp edge and a thick branch. The two of them entered Cocoon's house, and Cocoon greeted them.

"Cocoon, how are you doing?" Ju obviously knew Cocoon quite well, and took the initiative to greet him as soon as he came in.

Yinchen followed behind him, without saying a word, he knew that this person was very sincere, but he was not stupid, he brought himself here, obviously he had something to say.

The furnishings in the shack were extremely shabby, a straw mat was a bed, three stones were a stool, there was no campfire, and there was nothing to call a stove, and the giant sat on the stone with a little embarrassment, while the cocoon was still squatting on the ground and busy.

"What else, there are more and more white ghosts in the fields, and this year's harvest is estimated to be less than one-third of last year's......" Cocoon's voice revealed deep despair: "While it's not winter yet, hurry up and hunt more prey! But don't get your hopes up, the village is not as good as before, the fields eat less, and people will definitely starve to death in winter, last year it was eighteen, this year, hehe." ”

"Less than a third?!" Ju got up from the stone in a panic: "You're not kidding, are you! How can you survive less than a third of the production?

"How dare I have the heart to joke!" Cocoon's voice raised, and her tone was full of self-defeating despair: "Giant, I know what you are asking me for, I tell you, I will not tell the truth to the old people and the shrine maiden, I don't want to die yet! As for the kind of thing you said, don't even think about it! Don't leave the village, that's not the witch's lord's say, it's the oldest and most sacred law in the village! If you want me to say that your brother who desecrated the heavens shouldn't come back, the demon world outside is good, shouldn't he just let him die outside? Why do you want to come back and bewitch your father and fellow villagers? He doesn't even care about the nurturing grace of the past?"

Ju lowered his head, but without saying a word, Cocoon returned to the task in hand. After a while, Jucai sighed: "It's not a way to go on like this! The prey in the valley is getting harder and harder to catch, and the things in the fields are getting fewer and fewer! What hope can we have if we stay here?"

"Say it to Mikoma-sama!" Cocoon let out a self-defeating growl, then lowered her voice, "Go and accompany him, this is his last night." ”

"He definitely doesn't like me going to spend time with him. When the two of us helped him escape from the guards at the entrance of the village, we should have thought that there was a place today. Ju laughed at himself, his tone full of remorse and helplessness: "Cocoon, silver, what do you say we people should do?"

"I don't know. Cocoon replied irritably.

"Where does Miko-sama live?" Silverdust asked suddenly.

His question makes Cocoon and Ju froze. The stone tool in the cocoon's hand stopped in mid-air, isn't it tiring to hold it like that?

"Did you forget? Oh, yes, you must have forgotten. The cocoon's voice became hollow and ethereal: "On the top of the hill in the northeast corner of the village, go up the steps, but are you sure you can speak of the old men who are guarding the foot of the mountain?"

"I didn't plan to go now. Silver Dust hurriedly prevaricated, and then he finally saw the suspicious look in the giant eyes.

"Silver, you're the best hunter among us! Don't break any rules easily! Force is about to pay the price for his actions, you can't learn from him! We can't afford to lose hunters!"

The loud voice choked up, his tone changed completely, and he reached out to grab Silver Dust, but Silver Dust dodged it.

"I need to go back to sleep, you talk. Silver Dust stood up quietly and ran out of the door, and soon Ju chased after him, and then fell with him on the village square.

You can sleep in the small square in the village, but only in the summer, and you may freeze to death if you sleep here in winter.

Silver Dust lay down, his eyes wide open, and his silver-colored pupils stared straight at the starry sky, as if it was suddenly drawn closer to space. Ju lay down beside him and watched the stars with him.

The two big men were lying together, not romantic at all, but Yinchen didn't have time to take care of these at this time, he was analyzing the information he got at this time.

In fact, the first moment the witch spoke, Silver Dust understood the whole thing.

Ryugu Village, named after the valley and the Dixinglong that inhabits it, is a completely closed small village, leaning on one side of the valley that is completely impossible to walk out, and on the other side it is adjacent to the misty swamp that makes people unable to identify the direction. In the isolated mountain village, there has always been a belief that no one is allowed to go out, otherwise they will be cursed by the sky and die in a foreign land.

This belief was maintained by the elders, who raised shrine maidens with their own hands to rule the entire village. The witch can communicate with the earth dragon to prevent it from rushing into the village, and at the same time, the witch can also do a lot of witchcraft, and can heal the villagers who are injured or have a little bit of Xiaobin, and when the witch is in her thirties, she will abdicate and become the village chief......

Gong is the previous generation of shrine maidens, of course, when he and she abdicated, they had lost the power of shrine maidens.

In this way, the village was handed down, and it became the strictest basic rule that no one should go out, and those who violated it would be stoned to death and thrown into the valley. Many years before Silver Dust arrived, this small mountain village was rich and beautiful, and the villagers lived a quiet and warm life, until ten years before Silver Dust arrived, the first major drought in recorded history occurred in the village, killing many people, and the villagers panicked.

The shrine maiden and the elders tried their best to reassure the villagers that such a thing would not happen, but after the great drought, the originally fertile fields began to become barren and white, and the devil (the land was white and suspected of salinization) continued to invade the land, and the panic of the villagers was also suppressed in the bottom of their hearts and accumulated year by year.

The shrine maiden still shouted empty slogans to reassure the villagers that everything would be fine, but the situation did not improve.
