Back in the village, it was already an hour later.

The empty and confused room under the headstone has been transformed into a simple mourning hall. The Legend of the Wasteland told him that the village was called Anonymous and that its chief had died. The old man lay quietly on a rattan bed. In front of the rattan bed was a small black square wooden table, on which were two red candles the size of a baby's arm, which were burning. Three incense sticks were inserted in a small incense burner, filling the room with the smell of sandalwood. A pale yellow chrysanthemum flower is inserted in a long, thin-necked bottle and stands on the edge of the incense burner.

"There were thirteen people in the village, Eli was unfortunately killed, Yeka was seriously injured and could not attend, and the other eleven were here. A middle-aged man with an ordinary face knelt in front of the wooden table and whispered. Ten villagers knelt behind him, including the white-haired old woman.

She was lucky to be alive, just like me.

His Majesty the Dragon Monarch's two wanted criminals are also among the kneelers. Zhu Yan counted, counting the two of them, there were exactly eleven people. It turns out that they have become villagers of an anonymous village.

The middle-aged man kneeling at the front began to recite the eulogy, the kind common to boxers. I don't know how many times I've heard of a similar Zhu Yan. The middle-aged man also seemed to be a follower of the Dragon Cult.

"In the midst of tranquility, there is your homeland.

The earth of the firmament, your soul is immortal.

A bunch of chrysanthemums, such as your chastity.

Winter plum and spring bamboo, summer rain and autumn moon.

In the tranquil realm, there is your homeland.

The land of the gods is long, and your voice is not endless.

The fragrance is like a knot in my wounds.

The insects and birds stopped, and the flowers withered and the grass withered.

My god knows, and he orders the sacrifice to the martyrs.

My God knows, and I command this word. ”

After the recitation, the middle-aged man knelt on the edge of the rattan bed like a descendant of the deceased, and cried on the bed.

This man may be a descendant of the village chief. Zhu Yan witnessed the fatal blow, and the old village chief would not have survived.

Agaza didn't enter the mourning hall, he stood in the snow outside the hall, the flying snow covering his braids, red and white, with a silver ribbon behind his head. He was not as terrible as he imagined, and Zhu Yan doubted how many of the legends about him were true. Either way, one thing he was sure of was that this was a man, not a demon, and that he was protecting the mortal realm, not the other way around.

He didn't go in, and Zhu Yan didn't dare to go in, so he could only stand behind him and bear the wind and snow with him. What will happen next? He will be regarded as an enemy by this village, and the descendants of the village chief will not let him go when they see him, and they will take revenge. The debt on the head of the national teacher must be counted on his head.

He may be a legend on that side of the Inkiramo Mountains, but on this side of the Inkiramo Mountains, he is nothing.

After the soul sacrifice was finished, the people in the mourning hall knelt for a while before they got up one by one, most of them were still in the mourning hall, but the two wanted criminals came out.

They hadn't seen me, and they probably didn't know who I was.

"It's all over?" The former chief guard of the Dragon Monarch was dressed in gray cotton clothes, and his bronzed face was well-defined, giving people a sense of fortitude and calmness, but full of tiredness and sadness. He used to be the most popular person around the former king, and now he is a mourning dog.

"For now, yes. "Legend of the Wasteland always has that casual expression. He had lived here for several years, and he and the village chief had known each other for a long time, but there was no sadness on his face. Zhu Yan suddenly realized that he was an immortal, he had gone through a long time, life and death, and other things, he didn't know how many times he had experienced it, and he might have forgotten what grief was.

"I'm sorry to have sent you here, but I almost cost you your life. It seems like I've been making mistakes lately, making wrong predictions. Having said that, there was no apology on the face of the immortal, "Now that the matter is clear, an Abyss Demon has reached an agreement with Xun Zhou, and Xun Zhou has obtained a Tama Pure Crystal, which has great power. Perhaps the key was given to him by the devil as well. Xun Zhou has failed, but the demon's agreement may not end because of this. I know that demon, he is very vindictive, and this defeat will make his desire to enter the mortal realm even stronger. The Anonymous Village was built by the Spirit Dragon, and its protection was arranged by the Spirit Dragon and Venian themselves, but now that the village is no longer strong, it needs to be rebuilt. Until then, it can no longer act as a protective barrier. Therefore, it is no longer safe for you. ”

"So you're going to arrange our next place?" said the eldest princess, dressed in a white cotton dress that almost dragged to the floor, with floral pleats at the hem, her hair in a casual bun, soft strands hanging down her ears and shoulders. It is as beautiful and moving as rumored, even if it is poorly dressed and in despair, but the temperament of the royal family is still difficult to hide. It is no wonder that the strongest samurai are also fascinated by him and commit many sins. Her voice is very beautiful, but without any emotion. It seems that the wanted pair and Gaza have known each other for a long time. This is really an amazing inside story, and if it reaches the royal capital, it will definitely cause a great sensation. It is treason for the former heirs of the kingdom to collude with old enemies. Such a charge is indeed enough to outlaw any rights she was born with.

But is Agaza really as evil as recorded in the classics and folklore? If he is not that demonic being, if he is not like the barbarians who started the nomadic tide, and does not intend to be the enemy of the boxers for life, then it is not necessarily a sin to make friends with him.

At least the man known as the Demon of the Wasteland didn't kill him—an inconspicuous weak boxer. Especially since their nomadic tide has just ended in failure. Agaza seems unconcerned about that failure.

"If you have a better place to go. The immortal had a bag tied around his waist, and he took the pure crystal from Zhu Yan's hand, wrapped it in a multicolored flannel, and hid it inside. He patted the bag, "It has only one place to go, and in my opinion, you too." You should continue westward, beyond the Desolate Fields, where Vignen's protection is strong and intact. I promise, it's more complete than this village. ”

"You mean you want us to leave the kingdom and leave the Ruifeng Continent?" Zhu Yan felt a trace of dissatisfaction from the words of the former eldest princess.

"It's up to you to decide. I'll tell you where you're going and send you a sketch. You will be able to walk through the wilderness and reach the Arcane Forest in two days. It was Venian's territory, and she occasionally appeared there, so it was relatively one of the safest places in the mortal realm at the moment. The Immortal glanced meaningfully at the First Samurai, "I just want your child to come into this world safely. ”

Adulterous dog men and women, and their children. Whether it is a crime for them to associate with Agaza or not, adultery certainly is.

"You're wrong. It's not my child. The First Samurai smiled faintly, "But it's no different from my child, and when he is born in the future, I will take care of him like my own child." But I still want to thank you for your concern, without you I would have died several times. I'd love to know why you're doing this, but I know you'll still answer: you don't want to say it. ”

This child is not his? Is it true that all the claims from the royal court are lies?

The Immortal actually made a pretended surprised grimace, which surprised Zhu Yan very much. Even if the legend of the wasteland is not always serious or high-minded, he shouldn't make such a degrading appearance, right?, and the legend's next words are like an elder who cares for the younger generation, which surprised him even more: "It turns out that I was mistaken, but that's the same, since you love this child like this, even if it's your child." All in all, for his sake, you should convince your Highness the Princess. ”

The Immortal deftly evaded the First Samurai's request, and the latter did not ask again. But the former eldest princess was not willing to stop there. "You have helped Yu Jian again and again, but you are unwilling to tell him why you did it, you have made us live in confusion, you may live for 10,000 years or more, but we will die with this confusion, we can die at any time. ”

"Maybe one day I'll say, but not now. We might meet again. The Immortal was a little too approachable, and he didn't care about the attitude of the former eldest princess, but instead reached out with a bundle of parchment rolls in his hand: "This is the map, a little sloppy but enough for you to complete the journey." ”

When was this drawn? Zhu Yan didn't see the Immortal draw a map on the way back to the village, could he have been ready for it? He had known that all this would happen and have such an ending? This is simply inconsistent and incredible.

The first samurai looked at the eldest princess in front of him, and when he saw that she was not responding, he took it, he glanced at it, and folded it into the small bag around his waist. "What would you do with Tamajing?"

"It will return to its original world as soon as possible. The mortal realm does not welcome it, and it should not come again. ”

"I'd like to ask a few more questions. If you are willing to answer. The First Samurai glanced at the entrance hall, where the people in the mourning hall were still kneeling.

"Ask, but don't expect answers. Agasha sighed and lazily clasped his hands to his chest, looking laid-back.

"You're also a Spirit Dragon Apostle? Or was you?"

"It used to be. Gaza replied without hesitation.

This answer surprised Zhu Yan, how could a wasteland person, a citizen of the Goshawk, be a member of the Dragon Worship Sect at the same time?

"How did the key of the apostle fall into the hands of the devil?"

"There was once an apostle who went too far into other realms and never returned. His apostolic certificate is cyan, which is the one on Xun Zhou's body. As for how the demon got it, there are infinite possibilities in the realm, and you can guess for yourself. ”

"Can the apostles live that long, and what about the other apostles?"

"The secret that the spirit dragon taught to the apostle dragon hide, among them is the secret method of the old and immortal body, but not every apostle can learn it to the level of Congyun Village Chief. As for the other apostles...... I can't answer that question. The Immortal shrugged his brow in regret.

"If the mortal realm is in a deep crisis, will the spirit dragon personally come to fight the demons?"

"I'm not a spirit dragon. There was no answer to that question. Agaza thought for a moment and added, "I can only tell you that the spirit dragon needs his people and his followers, and he needs faith. ”

"I don't have any questions, and I won't answer them. Thank you. The First Samurai's resolute eyes showed sincere gratitude.

"Protect yourself, and everything you want to protect. Agaza's braids were blowing in the wind, and the silver ribbons were barely visible in the snow-white red hair. He made his closing remarks: "Remember that everything you go through is a trial, and no matter how sad and painful they are, they are not meaningless. ”

The cold wind in the middle of the night gradually intensified, raging the streets, and the sound was so strong that even the ears were whistling, and people were about to be blown up. For Anonymous Village, the real danger has finally passed temporarily, but for Zhu Yan, the trial may begin soon.

The backs of the two wanted criminals who were supposed to be captured on the spot were far away from him. I heard the wind asking, "Shall we go to Etta?"

In the wind she replied, "You decide." ”

"But I don't know, I only know where you go, I'll go. ”

"I'm a pregnant woman, eating more and more, sleeping longer and longer, and my brain is getting duller and duller, if you follow me, aren't you afraid that I will take you to the abyss?"

"I'm not afraid to take anywhere. All I know is where you go, I'll go. ”

"Hmph, you only know what to say to protect me, and you say that you want to take care of my children, and you have said all the beautiful things, but you are not even hesitant to go anywhere. ”

"Then let's go west. ”

"Not going east?"

"No, go west. ”

"You have to think carefully, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, but don't involve two innocent people, a mother and a son!"

"I thought it through. Before I can take care of my child, I need to let him come into the world safely. ”
