The woman's reaction was expected by Bai Zhengqing.

From her curious eyes, you could tell that this woman had no knowledge.

Maybe it's because she's been living in the Heavenly Sense since she was born.

But lack of knowledge does not mean that people are stupid, and Bai Zhengqing does not think that a person who can become a village chief will be a fool.

Sure enough, the first question the woman asked startled Bai Zhengqing.

"Are you a person who cultivates both wisdom and martial arts?"

Bai Zhengqing was stunned for a long time before asking, "How did you see it?" ”

To be honest, even with his wisdom, it is impossible to tell at a glance whether others are both wise and martial arts and not dual-cultivation.

It's not a matter of vision anymore, it's magic.

The woman shook her head, not intending to explain.

"Sit down." She stretched out her hand and pointed to another futon and said, "Tell me about the outside world." ”

After Bai Zhengqing sat down, he muttered in his heart: This is too familiar, right?

Shouldn't you introduce yourself first, and then say a few polite words before you start talking to each other?

This woman's straightforwardness made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, he was relieved at the thought that the other party might not have ever asked the Taotian.

"Well, let me introduce myself first, my name is Bai Zhengqing, and I serve in the Federal Devil Investigation Bureau."

The woman nodded.

And then there was no then.

Bai Zhengqing was stunned.

He took the initiative to introduce himself so that the woman could also introduce herself, but he didn't expect the woman to accept at all.

It's very depressing.

He said helplessly: "You have to tell me what to call you, right?" ”

"Ji Rong."

Surname Ji?

This surname has a great origin, this is one of the eight surnames in ancient times, and it is the source of many surnames, known as the "ancestor of all surnames".

However, after historical changes, many of them have changed to other surnames, such as Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang, so there are very few people with the surname Ji in modern times.

Bai Zhengqing was just stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it.

"Miss Ji, what do you want to know?"

"Say whatever you want."

"Uh." Bai Zhengqing was stunned again.

This woman is not easy to serve.

He thought for a moment and said: "If you want to introduce the outside world in detail, then you can't talk about it for a few days and nights, so let's wait for us to settle down here, I will come over and tell you something every day, what do you think?" ”

Ji Rong glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "The Wudao Garden on the left side of the door is empty, you can live there." ”

"Okay." Bai Zhengqing showed a sunny smile.

His purpose has been achieved.

It's just that Ji Rong was stunned when she saw his smile.

She had never seen such a clean and infectious smile, and it made her lose her mind for a moment.

Bai Zhengqing noticed this and said with a smile: "Why don't you introduce me here first?" ”

That's a bit of a stretch.

But Bai Zhengqing knew that Ji Rong wouldn't mind.

It's better to communicate with such pure-minded people directly.

Sure enough, Ji Rong woke up from her daze and said bluntly: "There are 57 households and 102 people in Wuren Village, of which 83 are cultivators, and the rest are ordinary people. ”

Only 102 people?

Bai Zhengqing was shocked.

The people he brought with him could almost double the population of the village.

However, the proportion of cultivators here is exceptionally high, which is very surprising.

"Are all the people here descended from the Great Witch?" Bai Zhengqing continued to ask.

Ji Rong didn't know if it was really better to be patient, or if she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, she replied frankly: "There are 93 people, 9 of them are outsiders in the past two hundred years, but they also practice witchcraft. ”

No wonder it's called Witch Village.

Bai Zhengqing was stunned.

"What about the specific strength? And asked, what about the other great demons in the heavens? ”

"There are 17 peerless martial artists and 1 world-class wise man. For other big demons, you can go to the village library and read it yourself. ”

Modern people call it a martial artist and a wise man, but in ancient times, they were actually called martial artists and wise men, and it seems that the Wuren Village is following the ancient name.

This is not surprising, after all, it is a secluded place.

It's just that when Bai Zhengqing heard this number, the whole person was shocked.

You must know that the peerless level and world-level in Ji Rong's mouth are all powerhouses of the true martial arts and true spirit systems, and the ancient witchcraft does not have the weakened cultivation methods of the demon master system, they are all exercises that are really cultivated with talent.

And this small witch village with only about 100 people actually has a full 18 fourth-stage true martial arts and true spirit powerhouses, this is too perverted, right?

At this time, Bai Zhengqing really understood that he still underestimated the heavens.

He urgently needed to figure out the number and strength level of the Great Demon in the Dao Heaven now, otherwise he would be uneasy.

"I'll arrange a companion first, and I'll come back to tell you about the outside world later, okay?"

Ji Rong nodded and closed her eyes.

At this time, she is like a sculpture, growing on that futon, and merging with the whole thatched hut.

Bai Zhengqing's heart sank when he saw this.

This woman's strength is not simple, he estimates that maybe the woman is stronger than him.

However, when she thought that she commanded so many true martial arts and true spirit masters, Bai Zhengqing was relieved.

Without absolute strength, how can you suppress so many powerful masters?

Coming out of the hut, Qin Ziyi, Duan Tianya and the others all looked at him, as if asking about the result.

Bai Zhengqing said: "Let's stay first, and we'll talk about other things later." ”

Everyone nodded.

"Old man, please take us to Wudao Garden." Bai Zhengqing said to Manilar.

Manilar nodded, and headed to the left.

There were also alleys along the main street, and Manilal led them through a long alley to the door of a large mansion.

He pointed to the courtyard door and said, "This is the Wudao Garden, which has been uninhabited for more than two hundred years, and you will have to clean it yourself later." ”

More than two hundred years?

So long?

Bai Zhengqing was very puzzled, but he didn't ask the reason directly.

"Thank you." Bai Zhengqing said gratefully, and then he asked casually, "Whose residence is this?" ”

Manilar recalled for a while before saying, "It should be Qiao Zhen, the time is a bit long, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

Well?

Bai Zhengqing was very puzzled at this time.

There are only about 100 people in this village, can't you remember?

Manilar seemed to know what he was thinking, and explained: "Don't look at the small number of people in our village now, in fact, it is because people die every year, and I really can't remember how many people have died over the years. Besides, the owner of this courtyard died before I came, and I have heard others mention it, how can I remember living so much? ”

Bai Zhengqing and the others felt a pang in their hearts.

Is this so dangerous to ask the sky?

Someone dies every year?

Could it be that the Witch Village goes to war with those great demons every year?

If this is the case, Bai Zhengqing will understand why Ji Rong wants to take them in.

I'm looking for a free fighter.

His face turned ugly.

But soon he regained his composure, looked at Manilal and asked, "Why do people die here every year?" ”

Manilar said as a matter of course, "Don't you know what the place of Dao Tian is?" This is the place where the immortals ask for the Tao, and of course those people die because of the Tao. ”

Death for seeking the word?

Bai Zhengqing was stunned.

It wasn't what he imagined.

Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed through his mind, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that they all died in the Heavenly Dao Tower?" ”

This time, Manilar was stunned: "Didn't you just come?" You actually know the Heavenly Dao Tower? ”

His reaction indirectly confirmed Bai Zhengqing's guess, and the image of the Heavenly Dao Tower in his mind immediately became mysterious.

Originally, he thought that it was just a place of enlightenment, and there would be no worries about his life if he didn't gain anything, but now it seems that this is not the case.

It's a place where you can risk your life for the future.

Bai Zhengqing suddenly became excited.

The more dangerous the place, the greater the chance, and maybe he can really get some results from the Heavenly Dao Tower.

Manilar knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression: "Young man, you can take it easy, the Heavenly Dao Tower is not a good place, the mortality rate when you enter it is as high as more than ninety percent, you have no full confidence, you better not go in." ”

"Ninety percent?" There was an exclamation all around.

This mortality rate really scares people.

And after hearing this mortality rate, Bai Zhengqing finally understood why there were so few people in Wuren Village.

It is said that the great witches who came here before have been multiplying for so many years, and there should be many descendants.

This was also Bai Zhengqing's idea at the beginning.

So before he came in, he thought it would be very lively in the Taoist sky.

When he learned from Ji Rong just now that there were only about a hundred people in Wuren Village, he was still puzzled for a while, but now he finally found the reason.

After all, asking Daotian is a place to ask for immortals, and the people who live here will be more or less influenced by their ancestors, and they have a natural obsession with cultivation, so there will be a lot of people who enter the Heavenly Dao Tower every year, which is probably the biggest reason why there are so few people in Wuren Village.

Of course, it is not excluded that the people who died fighting against the Great Demon in the Witch Village.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhengqing continued to ask, "Will there be a war between the Witch Village and other devils' gathering places?" ”

Manilal sighed and said, "Of course, in the more than 60 years since I came, the Witch Village has fought a total of eight battles with the devils, and more than 100 people have been killed and wounded. ”

"Why fight?" Duan Tianya asked puzzled.

It is said that the people here only care about the breakthrough of the realm, why should such a group of people with simple hearts fight for life and death?

It's unreasonable.

Manilal explained, "The battle itself can also promote the improvement of cultivation, especially since there is a line of demons who specialize in killing, and they are very belligerent, not only fighting with our witch village, but also often fighting against other demonic forces. ”

"Damn, that's perverted. To justify the murder, this should be placed in the Federation, a proper cult organization. Someone couldn't help but mutter.

Bai Zhengqing's face did not change.

The devil is the devil, how can he obey the law like ordinary people.

And compared to those wise demons who like to engage in conspiracies, these devils who only know how to kill are relatively easy to deal with.

At this time, he finally had a general understanding of this Dao Tian.

It's not a paradise, it's a chaotic world with little order.

Hey, that's troublesome.

Bai Zhengqing sighed secretly.

Asking Daotian's situation was more dire than he had imagined.
