"Got it from the auction. Qin Xian said truthfully. There is no need to hide this kind of thing.

"Why are you here?"

"This boy can't tell me for the time being. Qin Xian said euphemistically.

Alteng didn't ask any more questions, and his rough palms kept playing with the jade. The scene was quiet, with the occasional crackling sound of burning wood. Gu Lijiang on the side used a wooden stick to stir the fire slightly.

After a long moment, Altenn slowly stood up. He was tall, strong, and bulging with his simple and old clothes.

Glancing at Qin Xian, Alteng walked towards the house. It didn't take long for him to come out with a beautiful wooden box. Open the box and take out an object from it.

By the light of the fire, Qin Xian could see the object very clearly. It was a slightly larger jade object with a hollowed-out groove in the middle. Alteng put the jade that Qin Xian gave him in, and the two fit together perfectly.

Seeing this, Alten's eyes narrowed. Flipping the jade objects that fit together, I took a closer look at them again. It took a long time for Alten to put the jade down and then take out a crystal clear green stone from the box.

Carefully placed the stone on top of the jade, and soon, a faint white light bloomed from the jade. The brightness was very strong, and Qin Xian, who was used to this faint light, felt that it was very dazzling.

But Alteng didn't seem to be affected by the light, and his eyes were wide open, staring at the jade closely. The look that had remained the same from just now to the beginning was now full of excitement.

The brilliance gradually dissipated, and the jade returned to its original appearance again, except for a faint trace of green light swimming in it. The green stone seemed to be a little lighter in color. Alten's expression gradually calmed down, and he exhaled a long breath, as if relieved.

Alteng put the stone back in the box, carefully held the jade in his hand, walked up to Qin Xian and handed it to him. Qin Xian pointed to the large hollow jade with some confusion, and Alteng nodded, his attitude was much more relaxed than just now.

"Why did you give this to me?" Qin Xian asked as he took the jade.

Alteng was a little curious about Qin Xian, most people would definitely ask about the strange scene just now, and Qin Xian didn't seem to be surprised by this at all.

"Zu Xun. Alteng replied.

How does this sound a little familiar? Qin Xian remembered that when he was in Zhuwang Village, the patriarch seemed to say the same thing when he handed over the jade pendant to him. Unconsciously a little dumbfounded.

Qin Xian played with the jade in his hand, and too many doubts lingered in his heart, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

Alteng also seemed to see Qin Xian's thoughts, so he asked, "Aren't you curious about the scene of the jade just now?"

Qin Xian was stunned for a moment and said, "Uh, it's okay." ”

"It seems that Xiaoyou is not simple, so I can tell you some things. Altenn laughed rarely, but it seemed that he hadn't smiled for too long, and now the grin on his lips was more ugly than crying...

Qin Xian didn't answer, and quietly waited for Alteng's next step.

"Let's start at the beginning. Alten's eyes were misty, and he was caught in deep memories. "There are six villages like ours in this wilderness.

These six villages were built thousands of years ago by a goddess who wanted us to live here for generations and not leave them easily. And left this piece of jade to my ancestors.

She told us six villages to wait here until someone came with jade, at which point our mission would be over. He will also be free again. After explaining this, she disappeared without a trace. Who knows this, it is these thousands of years. ”

"Uncle, I'm talking about it. Just because of that goddess's words, your six villages have been staying together here for thousands of years?" Qin Xian interjected with his fists and asked.

"I know your doubts. Indeed, such ethereal things are difficult to understand. The goddess was very kind to these six villages at that time.

We can all understand that the ancestors repaid their kindness and obeyed the goddess to settle in this place. But it is really impossible for us to be here for generations, and the goddess naturally thought of this.

So she imprisoned those of us who were born in these six villages for generations. We have to live here. Altenn said with a wry smile.

Qin Xian: "Confinement?"

"How old do you think I and the priest are?" Altenn asked, pointing to Burbai, who had been smoking a pipe with his eyes squinted.

"This, well, more than fifty?" Qin Xian said deliberately a little smaller. It is estimated that no one objected to saying that they were in their sixties.

"Xiaowa doesn't need to worry about the mood of the two of us. Burbai said with a smile: "I am the same age as Alerten, barely forty and two. ”

Qin Xian was a little incredulous, these two people looked more than twenty years behind their real age!

"Actually, it's not just the two of us, but the people of the village who are over 30 years old will quickly start to age. This is the imprisonment that the goddess has given to our village. Burbai sighed leisurely.

"Isn't this kind of confinement a bad thing?, why don't you leave here?" Qin Xian asked with a frown. He really didn't believe that there could be such a strange thing in this world! What happened thousands of years ago can affect today? But looking at Uncle Bu and Alteng doesn't seem to be lying. Qin Xian really has a big head.

"Of course we thought about leaving the village, but anyone who left the village without permission without exception will age much faster than when they were in the village, until they run out of life. After so many years, many people did not believe and fled the village. But none of them survived for more than two years. Bourbay explained.

Qin Xian still had a hard time believing all this. If it's true. So what is the origin of that goddess? Even immortals can't do this, right? But what is happening, if it is not a goddess, how can their physical condition be explained?

"I know it's hard to believe. Alten spoke.

Qin Xian pondered twice and asked, "Uncle Nabu, we didn't see a single young man in the village just now, and you said that they were all making a living outside." What's going on here?"

"That's just a rhetoric, these seven days are the days when we worship the goddess once every three years. All the young people in the six villages who are older than 20 and under 30 years old will go to the shrine to worship, which is also the goddess's account.

Only then will these young people begin to age after the age of thirty. If you don't go, you will enter the aging period early. Burbai said.

"Didn't you say that the goddess disappeared?, who built this shrine?" Qin Xian asked strangely.
