The news that Lingsu and Qin Sizheng were leaving without warning, in this small mountain village of dozens of households, it did not cause too many changes, and ordinary life still operated according to the original trajectory, except for one more person, this remote place in the corner of the nine secluded did not have any big fluctuations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the dawn receded, the village became busy, and families came to the rock-reinforced wells at the head of the village, with buckets of water.

This is the only well in the village, because there is no rain in Jiuyou all year round, this well only has half an hour in the morning, there is clear water that can be quoted, if you miss this hour, it is undoubtedly a disaster for the villagers of the mountain village.

And this kind of problem related to his own livelihood, Lingsu naturally talked to the man, so before dawn, he appeared next to the ancient well.

A new villager did not attract much attention.

Because in the land of the Nine Secluded Places, things like wood are not common, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to find them, and the buckets used in the entire mountain village are probably pottery made of earth. This kind of clay bucket for water naturally looks bloated and bulky, so it is obviously not a simple matter to prepare enough water for the day in half an hour.

In the process of lifting water, everyone was out of breath, and those with less strength even had to be carried by two people together, in this case, naturally they didn't have the energy to pay attention to him.

However, when it was his turn to fetch water, he dragged over two half-person-high big pottery, filled the pottery with clear water, he held the edge of the pottery with both hands, and then with a slight force, he carried the two heavy pottery back, and the villagers behind saw it, and naturally looked at it with some surprise.

After all, this kind of big pottery is filled with clear water, and it is not light, and one or two strong men may not be able to lift it, in contrast, with his thin body, it is undoubtedly much more eye-catching.

Under the gaze of all the way, he carried the two large pottery back to the earthen kiln, sealed the lid to prevent the dust from falling, and after doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, although the Dao power in his body was difficult to control, after all, after so many years of cultivation, it was enough to be physical, and it was much stronger than ordinary people.

It's just that this level of strength consumes a lot of strength, and just by carrying two Tao Qingshui, he already feels a strong sense of hunger.

Rubbing his stomach slightly, he walked into the house, at this time, the rice porridge boiled in the morning had begun to exude the aroma of food.

Gently lifting the lid of the clay pot, the white mist rose, and he set the rice porridge aside to dry for a while, he glanced at the package on the table and sighed deeply.

Pursing his lips slightly, he walked over with a complicated expression and reached out to take the package down.

Gently rubbing the texture of the cloth, he clenched it slightly.

A slight knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and he tilted his head slightly, then set the package aside.

stepped forward to open the door, he blinked suspiciously, but saw an old man with gray hair standing in front of the door, holding two pieces of bacon in his hand.

"Old man, he is the patriarch of this Taoyuan Village, I heard that there are new people in the village, so I came uninvited, and I hope Your Excellency will not blame you......" The old man's speech was very slow, his voice was hoarse, and when he spoke, he still looked smiling, and his expression was also very polite.

"It turned out to be the patriarch......" He didn't understand what kind of official this was, but he was very powerful, so he respectfully invited the old man into the house, but found that there was no chair for the guests to sit down.

But the old man didn't see outside, but walked straight to the side of the kang and sat down slightly.."Little brother hasn't eaten yet?" He saw the rice porridge drying on the side, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I just came back from fetching water, so I haven't eaten yet. He responded.

"Actually, the old man has just gotten up and hasn't eaten yet...... old man touched his stomach, leaned forward, and looked at him slightly.."If you ask for a bowl of rice porridge here, I believe that the little brother shouldn't mind, right?"

"Uh......" He was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the old man to make such a request.

"When, of course......" reacted, he immediately went to the stove to add an extra pair of chopsticks, but the old man handed over the bacon in his hand and unceremoniously asked him to cut it into thin slices.

Taking off his shoes, the old man sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang, looking a little embarrassed and said: "People are old, and their faces are a lot thicker, but fortunately, the little brother does not dislike it, if it is replaced by someone else, it is indispensable to drive out the old decay." As he said this, the man who had sliced the slices paused slightly, almost slicing his fingers.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he cut a piece of bacon, brought it slightly, and put it on the edge of the kang, but at this time, he found that the old man didn't know where to make a yellow gourd.

"Have a little taste?" the old man asked, shaking the gourd and smiling.

He blinked slightly, and nodded subconsciously.."—Okay. ”

So he added two more clay bowls, and the old man uncorked them and poured out some amber wine.

"The realgar wine brewed by Lao Yu himself not only has a mellow taste, but also can kill insects and detoxify, drive away evil spirits and avoid demons. The old man said seriously with a straight face, and in the end, even he couldn't help laughing.

The man was infected, and then smiled, he picked up the realgar wine, took a sip slightly, although it didn't taste good, but it felt good.

"By the way, patriarch, is this village called Taoyuan Village?" he seemed to remember something, and asked slightly.

"This village is also an ancient village with thousands of years of history...... the old man licked his chapped lips and said with a look of nostalgia. ”

"I see...... the man raised his head and put down the pottery bowl. ”

"Hehe, this thing is the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise......" The old man laughed, raised the gourd and took a few sips.."By the way, little brother, I heard someone say that the little brother seems to have lost his soul?" He leaned forward slightly, and gave the man's clay bowl some wine.

When the man saw this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.."That's right...... It does. ”

"Oh?" the old man looked at him seriously, and then nodded. "Actually, it's good to forget, people, it's because your memory is too good, so you think a lot, and if you think too much, you will have greed, hatred, and obsession, which not only disturbs the body and mind, but also causes all kinds of suffering, and makes people suffer from it, so to put it simply, this memory is doing tricks." ”

He persuaded him, but the man had to nod.

The old man picked up the wine gourd, raised his head and drank a few sips of wine, and when he exhaled slightly, he saw a hemp rope exposed in front of the man's chest.

The man was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand in confusion, pulled out the hemp rope around his neck, and suddenly revealed a metal plate the size of a palm..."It turned out to be this thing...... "It turned out to be this thing" He looked up at the old man looking at it directly, and explained slightly.."Lingsu girl said, this thing has been placed on me, it should be my previous token, but, since I forgot the previous things, this thing ...... It's useless. ”

"Little brother......" The old man's tone changed slightly, and then beckoned to him.."Can you show the old man something?"

The man glanced at the old man unexpectedly, blinked and smiled..."I don't know what kind of metal it is made of, although it is hard, it is not valuable...... "Take off the hemp rope, and the man handed it over.."If the patriarch likes it, the junior will give this thing to you." ”

"Nonsense-" The old man straightened his face, snatched the thing, and then stared carefully for a while by the light projected from outside..."The engraving on the back of this is like a word......" He glanced at the man slightly, and tried to say something.

"The patriarch also thinks that the ghost drawing is like a word?" he was slightly happy and said happily.." Lingsu girl also said that this should be a kind of text, but she can't decipher it, so she doesn't know the meaning, but she guesses that the text on it should have something to do with my origin. ”

"Lingsu girl......" The old man shook his head slightly while holding the metal card, "It's just a word 'Xin', so you can guess it?" He glanced at the man deeply, and he sneered slightly.

"Xin?" the man was stunned and blinked slightly.."Is it a surname?Could it be that I used to have a surname Xin?" After thinking silently for a while, he suddenly noticed something strange.."The patriarch actually knows this thing?"

"Uh......" The old man opened his mouth and rolled his eyes slightly....... Yes...... It seems like...... Where have you seen it, where have you seen it? Where have you seen it...... Eh...... By the way, I once turned over an ancient book, and on that book, there was this pattern on it, and I remembered some of it at the time, and now I saw the real thing, and I remembered, well, that's it. ”

As the old man spoke, the man's expression suddenly became a little excited, "Patriarch, do you have anything else recorded in that book? For example, the origin of this kind of writing?"

"Well...... old man blinked, took another sip of wine, and then scratched his white head.."It's been too long, and I'm getting older, and I've almost forgotten it, if I hadn't seen this thing today, I wouldn't have remembered it." ”

"That's right......" The man calmed down a little and glanced at the old man again, "Since I don't remember, what about the book? Can you lend me the ancient book?"

"No problem. The old man patted his chest, got down from the edge of the kang, and put on his shoes again.."The wine has also been drunk, the meal has also been eaten, the old man will go back to help you find it, but he is old, and his memory is not very good, if you can't find it today, I will help you find it in two days." ”

The man listened and thanked him seriously, but the old man didn't even say no, and between the two of them, the old man left the kiln.

Asking the villagers for information, the man went to a hill to the west of the village, where there were a number of black rocks in the open air, and he picked up some of them for firewood.

Adding some stones to the stove to keep the flame alive, he lay on the clay kang with his hands behind his head.

After thinking about the Lingsu who left for a while, and thinking about his life experience for a while, his eyes drooped, and he gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by a violent tremor.

Turning over and jumping off the earthen kang, he ran to the door, only to find that there were a few meteor-like rays of light in the sky rushing towards the west, under the dark night sky, those rays of light were still particularly eye-catching, standing at the door slightly and looking at it for a while, but only to see the light tail disappearing at the end of the sight, but then, there was a deafening sound in the distance.

"What's going on?"

Panicked cries emanated from the silent mountain village, and the dim lights gradually lit up, and some villagers stepped out of their houses and appeared on the empty streets.

The man ran out of the house, and when he reached the end of the village, he found that many of the houses had collapsed, and scarlet blood was flowing and mixed with the crumbling debris.

The collapsed houses were in a semicircle, and the entire west side of the village was in ruins, as if they had been destroyed by something, after all, the earth dragon could not turn over in such a situation.

At this time, there were already bold men who stepped forward to check if there were any surviving villagers, while the others who reacted looked at the messy ground with different expressions, and let out some frightened and gnat-like sighs.

He glanced slightly, and followed a few men over, but before he could walk long, he heard someone in front of him exclaim, and then there was a "bang" sound, and something flew out sideways, and the "thing" smashed a wall, and overturned the half-story house behind, leaving a big black hole on the side of everyone.

Everyone was slightly stunned for a moment, but they were frightened into a cold sweat by another scream, and the sound of broken bones sounded in the darkness, spreading in all directions.

A man with a torch poked the light of the fire slightly.

In the dim light, a distorted figure collapsed on the ground, and beside him stood a man in a bronze mask, the man turned his head slightly, and walked over slowly, and when his eyes fell on everyone's faces, they were as sharp as knives, making everyone shudder.

However, as he swept past one of them, the masked man narrowed his eyes slightly, and tilted his head in confusion.
