Chapter 285: Banished Lands
Along the way, Li Hao's pace was extremely slow.
Beside him, more than two dozen little guys surrounded him, their big eyes full of yearning and hope, silently listening to Li Hao's words.
Their progress is really slow, very slow, Li Hao seems to want to tell these little guys everything outside, so that they can carefully know what kind of world is outside.
For these little guys, the entire Xianxia Town is their only home and the only scenery they can see.
They have lived here since birth and have never been outside. Except for the fact that they could see some foreign cultivators when Xianxia Town was opened, they didn't even know what color the sky outside was and what the mountains outside looked like
This is simply a group of flowers imprisoned here, strictly forbidden to leave half a step, although they still look cute and naughty, but their hearts are already full of scars!
It was not a long road, and Li Hao walked for an hour. It wasn't until a quaint wooden door appeared in front of him that it finally stopped his steps.
"This is the old woman's house!"
Niuniu licked her lips unsatisfactorily, but she still stepped forward and gently pushed the door open.
"Let's go, let's go in together!"
Li Hao touched their little heads, raised his legs, and stepped into the gate.
Behind them, dozens of middle-aged people were silent, walking lightly, and followed them into the small courtyard.
Quaint grounds, clean and refreshing.
Everywhere is full of attractive flowers, blooming in a variety of brilliant colors, exuding a faint fragrance that refreshes the heart.
Here, it is very neat, without a trace of dust, just like the legendary pure land.
After stepping through the courtyard, I finally came to a spacious courtyard.
In the deepest part, a wooden rocking chair was quietly placed, and an old woman lay on it dignifiedly, quietly looking at the colorful leaves overhead, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Seniors"
Li Hao stepped forward lightly and bowed respectfully.
"Yes. The old woman lowered her head and nodded slightly at Li Hao. His eyes glanced at the group of small dots beside him, and he couldn't help but show a doting smile.
"Seniors, although I don't know the root cause. But these little guys are budding buds after all, so why are they imprisoned here?"
"Isn't it a sorrow that there is no sun shining and no rain and dew baptism?"
Li Hao looked at the porcelain dolls-like little dots around him, and said with some heartache.
"Boy, you know something!"
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"
"What about sorrow, it's better than losing your life!"
One voice after another came quickly, full of scolding and dissatisfaction!
Even, a middle-aged man directly reached out and grabbed all the little guys, and stood directly beside Li Hao, with an angry face.
"I heard that in order to let the young eagles learn to fly, the eagles will not hesitate to push them off the cliff so that they can grow up to be the overlord of the sky!"
"I've heard that in order to let the cubs learn to hunt, the tiger will not hesitate to cruelly let them hunt alone with a hungry stomach, so that they can become the king of the forest!"
"If it's just in captivity in a greenhouse, alive, what's the difference between being dead and dead?"
Li Hao held his head high, looking at the middle-aged man, without a trace of weakness.
"They're not eagle chicks, they're not tiger cubs. We are not ruthless eagles, nor are we cruel tigers. ”
"Instead of watching them die without a place to be buried, it's better to let them live here, at least be able to live!"
"As long as you live, it's enough!"
The middle-aged man had a sad and angry face, and the light in his eyes flashed like two sharp blades, scraping Li Hao's body fiercely.
"I disagree!"
Li Hao yelled, not caring at all about his murderous eyes!
"You're just an outsider, and you're not qualified to speak here!"
"Now, you can't protect yourself, and you still have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs?!"
The middle-aged man said with a look of indifference.
"You!"
"Enough!"
The old woman stood up suddenly, her voice was cold and indifferent, with a strong coercion, and instantly suppressed all sounds.
She looked at the group of middle-aged people in front of her, then at the little ones who were protected, and finally at Li Hao, shook her head and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
Li Hao crossed the middle-aged man in front of him and saluted the old man: "Senior, although I don't know what the reason is. However, in this world, there is no absolute, and there is no impossibility! I believe that as long as we do it and work hard, everything that is impossible will have a turning point!"
"You're a good boy"
"No wonder he would let you be so important!"
The old man waved at Li Hao, motioned for him to sit down, thought for a long time, and said softly: "When people are old, there will always be some nagging, don't you mind listening to me tell a story!"
"Listen to the younger generation!"
Li Hao saluted respectfully, sat straight on the ground, faced the old man, and said with a smile.
"Once upon a time, in ancient times, the Terrans were just a very weak race, and they were not as strong as they are now!"
"At that time, the great wilderness was far bigger and more dangerous than it is now, with blood and hideous everywhere!"
"Ten thousand races are lined up, galloping through the wilderness, demons are born, and the whole world is completely turned into a terrible purgatory. There is no family affection, no kindness, no so-called mutual dependence, and no so-called mutual help. At that time, there was only endless darkness, and there was only infinite destruction, and it was a complete dark age!"
"Our race was born in this realm. ”
"As you may have seen, we are not purely human. Of course, it's not a pure demon race!"
"We are a forbidden existence, an existence that is hated and disdained by all races, an existence born from the combination of the human race and the demon race, an exiled and forgotten existence!"
The old woman looked at the sky from afar, her voice was filled with a faint hatred and dissatisfaction, as if she had returned to that terrible era, as if she remembered the birth of the race again, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
It turns out that the so-called Xianxia Town is not the legendary Pure Land, nor is it the legendary Wonderland, this is a forgotten place, a place of exile.
In ancient times, the human race declined, and was regarded as blood food by other races, and it was the lowest existence. In order to survive, they had to be attached to the protection of other races. Without strength and fists, human beings can only suffer indifference and unfair treatment, without the slightest right to resist.
In this way, a new race was born, the half-demon!
They are the beings born of the union of other races with human beings. Disdained by the demon clan and hated by the human race, it is a race that has no right to exist.
"Over the years, there are fewer and fewer of our compatriots. A large part of them are not recognized by heaven and earth, and have died before they are born. The rest were not recognized by other races and were killed at birth. ”
"Even if we have the bloodline power of both the human race and the demon race, even if we are more talented in cultivation, there are no living beings willing to agree with us at all!"
"Even, we took the initiative to take on the task of suppressing the Heavenly Demon Realm, and every time the dark age rushed to the forefront, blocking the arrival of darkness with flesh and blood, no one still recognized our existence!"
"Well, do you know why we didn't leave this place?"
"It's not that we don't want to, it's that we just can't!"
The old woman sighed, fell on the chaise longue, and said extremely lonely.
Li Hao silently listened to this story full of sadness, subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man behind him, and then skimmed the cute little guys, and his heart couldn't help but be full of sadness.
This is a group of people who are not recognized by the world, and can only hide in such an unknown small world, surviving for a long time.
They are taboo beings, so no matter what they do, even if they protect the lives of countless people, they will not get even a little comfort and respect.
Of course, if it is the reverence of strength, they are enough to gain countless respects, but that kind of reverence is not what they want in their hearts.
"Will they cause any harm to other living beings?" Li Hao thought for a moment and then raised his head and asked.
The old woman was slightly stunned, looked at the direction of his finger, nodded silently, and said, "Well, only when you cultivate to reach the realm of insight can you control the beast nature in your body and not fall into madness!"
"Moreover, if they don't have enough strength, if they leave here, they will turn into their own bodies and become irrational brute beasts!"
"That's why we can't let these little guys go!"
"Only here can they incarnate into human form, with reason and wisdom!"
The old woman sighed, and her eyes swept over the group of little ones, full of guilt.
When Li Hao heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he subconsciously fell into thinking and pondered silently.
After a full hour, when even the old woman couldn't help frowning, he suddenly raised his head, his face showed a serious and firm expression, and said: "If, I mean if, I can let them keep their sanity even if they go out!"
“”
"What did you say?!"
At this moment, not only the old woman, but all the people had bright eyes, stared at Li Hao tightly, and asked in disbelief.
"I mean, I have a way to keep them sane as a human race!" Li Hao said unhurriedly.
"It can't be!"
"The sages of the ancients, who is not a person of great wisdom, but none of them can do it!"
"Even, we once begged for the Supreme Supreme, but there is still no way!"
The crowd laughed and laughed.
"I can't guarantee it, but I can give it a try!"
"These little guys are living little beings, we can't let them suffer here, and continue to continue this punishment that can't be called alive!"
Li Hao nodded, couldn't help but think of the light of hope in the eyes of the little guys, and smiled.
"Boy, do you know. The most painful thing in the world is to give a glimmer of hope and then break it again!"
In the crowd, someone yelled in dissatisfaction and said angrily.
"As I said, there is nothing impossible in this world! As long as you do it, everything will turn around!"
"The Great Dao is fifty, and the Tianyan is forty-nine, and there is still a trace of opportunity to fight with the beings of heaven and earth!
The corners of Li Hao's mouth were hooked, laughing, laughing unscrupulously, but the expression on his face was extremely firm.
