333 Death Valley (1)
Since they were now in a situation of almost safety, they naturally did not have to hide, but walked around the town openly, looking for information about the last person.
But the answers of the people here seem to be the same, they know that there is such a person, and they know roughly where he is, and it is said that the man died in a place called Death Valley.
But no one understands where Death Valley is, and it is naturally impossible for them to act rashly just by knowing the name of a place.
What kind of environment might be inside, and what kind of creatures might be there? They had to understand these things, because their strength was not enough, and the soul power of the Thousand Realms Realm to explore the underworld was too reluctant.
Even if it is a place that the emperors of ancient times could not reach, they are now only trying to explore some information with the mentality of giving it a try, and of course, they are also experiencing it by the way.
Just when Jidao thought that they had achieved nothing for a day, they suddenly heard this statement:
"I don't know where Death Valley is... But I know there's one person who probably does. ”
So, they came to the house.
According to the man's account, it seems that the person who lives in it is an old man who has no relatives, and has almost no contact with outsiders.
This is already the edge of the town, and when he saw that there were no houses within a radius of 100 meters, only this lonely low bungalow, Jidao's brows were also slightly wrinkled.
"The architecture here is obviously different from what you would find in the town. ”
Qian Xuan said in a deep voice, this place is still relatively wealthy, so most of the residents here have built that kind of two- or three-story attic, and such a lonely bungalow is really rare.
Jidao nodded, and then grabbed a handful of dirt from this side.
Qian Xuan also turned his head to look over, only to see that the land under this bungalow was actually grayish-white, as if sprinkled with a layer of lime powder, Qian Xuan shook his head, saying that he couldn't see what kind of reputation this kind of soil had.
There was not a single plant or a living creature that could move within a radius of 100 meters, so an idea naturally came to mind:
"The old man here may have been in the so-called Valley of Death. ”
As for this kind of soil and bungalows, it may be because he was contaminated with something to become like this, otherwise Jidao would not have thought of any other explanation.
"Let's go inside. ”
Although this place feels very weird, they naturally can't just stand here stupidly, they are here to find out the news.
But when Qian Xuan looked at the sunset that was about to set, she suddenly felt a sense of retreat in her heart, it was not that she was too timid, such a strange place was really not a good idea to come at such a time at night.
"It's going to get dark, Jidao, or we'll come back tomorrow. ”
As soon as he took a step and heard Qian Xuan's words, he stopped, looked up at the already somewhat gloomy sky, and thought in his heart that Qian Xuan's words were actually not wrong.
Jidao nodded, and was about to leave this place again, but unexpectedly heard a creaking sound.
A yin wind came from the back of the extreme path, which could actually make the monk feel a little cool, Qian Xuan's face tightened, and he looked behind him in unison with the extreme way.
I saw that the wooden door, which was already a little dilapidated, opened by itself, and there was a faint light from inside, but Jidao still couldn't see anything clearly.
"Both of you... If you have a problem, come in now. ”
The two of them were shocked, looked at each other, and their faces were much more solemn.
They didn't expect that the person who lived in this house would be a monk!
Judging from what they had learned, there were only three cultivation families in this town, among which the Yao family was the largest, and most of them were still mortals.
If they were monks, they might not have it so easy to get what they wanted.
But even so, they now have to move on, and since the people inside have spoken, they must also go in.
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Jidao felt a sudden drop in temperature, as if he had submerged in an ice cellar, the faint light of the fire seemed to sway in the cold wind, and the whole room flickered and flickered, conveying an extremely strange atmosphere.
The two of them looked to the side at the same time, only to see a pale old man sitting quietly on a rocking chair.
The thick hair seemed to cover his entire face, but in his cloudy gaze there was a kind of light that seemed to cut through people, and he seemed to have seen it in rags with some strange symbols painted on it.
"You two, if you can find here, you must be here to ask about Death Valley. ”
Jidao nodded, and at some point, a wooden chair had appeared behind them, and under the old man's signal, the two sat down slowly.
"It's really strange that a young man like you is also interested in the Underworld, why, are you thinking about pursuing immortality at such a young age?"
The old man showed a mouthful of white teeth, and Qian Xuan was also palpitating for a while, and the old man in front of her had a feeling that made her very uncomfortable.
Why did she always have such an idea, the old man in front of them who was talking to them now was not a living person?
She shook her head, although her anger was extremely weak, Qian Xuan could still sense it, the person in front of her was naturally not a ghost, he was a living person.
And Jidao shook his head when he heard the old man's words:
"We are not in pursuit of immortality, we have some things that should only be answered in the underworld. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
The old man's eyes shot another lightning-like lightning, but Jidao only took a deep breath and said:
"I'm sorry, but I don't have anything to say about this kind of thing. ”
The old man didn't seem to react much, he just smiled, and then slowly stood up.
"In that case, what proof do you have that you didn't come for immortality?"
An invisible pressure pressed towards the two of them, and something even more unexpected happened to the extreme path, this old man was not only a monk, but at least a monk in the realm of the void.
This feeling of being powerless to resist had already been felt by the white-robed old man.
"I have no other means of proof, but the mystery we need to explore cannot be solved anyway, believe it or not. At our age, there is still a long way to go in the future, and immortality is still too far away for us. ”
