Chapter 286; The Strange Taoyuan Village [4,000 words]

Under the sky, the sand was flying and the wind was bitter.

Fang Ping's eyes were indifferent, and without much emotional fluctuations, he looked down at the gloomy old man who wanted to ask for a way out.

After a long silence, he asked, "You said that you are the elder of Li Changxuan, Li Changjun's brother and sister, you should have made it up." ”

The gloomy old man's face was stagnant, and under Fang Ping's sharp gaze, he didn't dare not answer what was going on.

The ancestors of the two brothers and sisters have produced amazing martial arts wizards, and they will worship the martial arts holy land "Xuanwu Sect" at the time of the wind and clouds, and they are expected to achieve the Dao fruit of the martial arts saint in the world, but after all, they have not been able to cross that threshold, and they returned to their ancestral land in their later years, married a wife and had children, and left a token that can enter the "Xuanwu Sect" after death!

If the children and grandchildren of the younger generations are qualified, they can carry the tokens and go to the "Xuanwu Sect" to practice.

The gloomy old man learned this secret by chance, but because the Li family still had a strong person in the Divine Hidden Realm, he didn't dare to act rashly, until the ancestor of the Li family's Divine Hidden Realm sat down, and the brother and sister left with the token, and he followed all the way, but he didn't expect to be extremely keenly aware that someone was following him behind him, so he took his sister and plunged into the no-man's land.

caused the gloomy old man to chase and lose the two.

"In this way, it turns out that the place of cultivation in Li Changxuan's mouth refers to the Xuanwu Sect, the holy land of martial arts?"

Fang Ping teasingly looked at the gloomy old man, "In this way, it is Chu who has ruined your good deeds." ”

"I didn't ...... There is no such thing, I have no eyes and no beads, I offended Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou, you let me live, I can give away all the resources I have accumulated over the years. The gloomy old man had a strong desire to survive, and he didn't have the slightest resentment against Fang Ping.

Fang Ping left the scene in a deaf ear, leaving only the corpse of the gloomy old man, and the silver ticket of the elixir he was carrying with him was also looted by Fang Ping.

A few days later, Fang Ping walked out of the no-man's land and entered the territory of Yanzhou, and a fog that could not be dissolved rose between heaven and earth, and in this fog as thick as the tide, the visible distance was only a few feet around.

When night fell, a round of bright moon sprinkled the white and thin moonlight on the horizon, Fang Ping frowned and looked at the village that appeared in front of him, always feeling that something was not quite right, but he couldn't say it.

The village is home to more than 100 people singing and dancing around the campfire and drinking spirits.

The faces of the villagers are full of simplicity, and their laughter is also carefree, as if they live in a paradise, far away from the flames of war.

Fang Ping observed for a long time, but he didn't see anything strange and strange in this village.

At this time, an old man with a wrinkled face like a ravine, walking out of the village with a simple smile on crutches, looked at Fang Ping's location, and shouted: "Since the guests are here, why don't you stay in the village for the night?" ”

Fang Ping was solemn, he stood in the shadow that the moonlight could not shine, but the old man could sense where he was, it was a little abnormal, coupled with the appearance of this village, it gave Fang Ping a strange aura that was inexplicable, "No need, Chu is just passing through here, and he will leave immediately, so he won't bother with the precious land." ”

The old man turned a deaf ear, and muttered with a kind and simple smile: "Taoyuan Village has not been a guest for a long time......

Taoyuan Village?

Fang Ping held his breath and staggered around the small mountain village under his feet.

After running wildly all night, the next day when the sun rose in the east and the sky was slightly white, Fang Ping's body was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

In the morning, when the air was a little clear, the low houses in the small village stood one after another, and the big roosters raised in the chicken pen were already making a resounding cry throughout the small village.

After a while, smoke rose in the small village, and several women carried a wooden basin full of dirty clothes, and went to the small river ditch at the head of the village to wash clothes.

After breakfast, the children, calling friends, walked together through the village, attracting chickens and dogs to jump, and people hated dogs.

"Taoyuan Village ......" Fang Ping wiped his eyes, making sure that he was not mistaken, he ran wildly all night, and actually returned to the same place.

In a daze, the old man who invited Fang Ping to stay in the village last night walked out of the house on crutches, looked at Fang Ping, who was standing at the entrance of the village, and said with a kind smile: "The old man is the village chief of this Taoyuan Village, where do the guests come from, where are they going, do you want to come to the village for a night?" It's been a long time since I've had a guest in Taoyuan Village. ”

Fang Ping's back was cold, his face was quite calm and calm, and he arched his hand and asked, "The old man doesn't recognize me?" We only met last night. ”

"Last night? The guests laughed, there have been no guests in this Taoyuan Village for a long time, and the old man didn't see anyone last night. The village chief replied with a serious matter, and there was no half-decidedness in his eyes.

It's just that as soon as he said this, Fang Ping's soles were cold.

"It can't be weird, right?"

Fang Ping turned around and left, and at sunset, he actually returned to Taoyuan Village again.

The village chief was sitting at the entrance of the village, and when he saw Fang Ping coming back, he said with a smile: "Why did the guest come back again?" Let's stay in the village for the night and then leave, it's not getting early. ”

Fang Ping ignored it, and stood in front of the village entrance, watching the night fall.

As soon as it gets dark, a bonfire rises in the open space of Taoyuan Village, and the villagers gather together happily, the village chief asks someone to take out a few jars of spirits made from mountain fruits from the cellar, and some villagers take out wild meat from their homes.

Fang Ping watched this scene silently.

In the second half of the night, the stars in the sky went out, and the moon rabbit also hid behind the thick lead clouds, and when the sky and the earth were dark, the villagers who were singing and dancing and laughing a second ago suddenly scattered back to their respective homes, more like they were running away from something.

Fang Ping cheered up, vigilant against the strange killing machine that might strike at any time.

However.

Shiro waited all night.

The next day, when the rooster crowed, the women of the village walked to the small ditch at the entrance of the village to wash their clothes, and the children jumped up and down, laughing and playing, revealing the charm of step-by-step.

"Huh? Here comes the guests. The village chief walked out of the house as yesterday, and invited Fang Ping to the village with kind eyes, when Fang Ping asked if the other party recognized him, the village chief shook his head vigorously, repeating that Taoyuan Village had not been an outsider for a long time.

There is no doubt that Fang Ping has encountered a weirdness, and it is not an ordinary weirdness.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, Fang Ping came to a conclusion, the village fell into the same day, the villagers repeated what they did yesterday day after day, gathered together as soon as it was dark, singing and dancing, late at night when the stars and moon were gone, they immediately hid in the house to sleep, Fang Ping's memory was only kept yesterday, and the next day they came together as if they had never seen Fang Ping.

"Big brother, why don't you come to the village?" Early that morning, several children stood in front of the entrance of the village, looking at Fang Ping curiously.

When Fang Ping heard this, he suddenly remembered that after more than ten days of observation, none of the villagers in the village had walked out of the village, which was also unreasonable.

So, Fang Ping beckoned to a few children, "I'm tired of walking, I want to rest for a while, do you want to eat, I have a lot of good things to eat here." ”

"Delicious!" Several children stared at each other drooling, and one of them, a sloppy child, shook his head and replied, "No, there is danger outside the village." ”

Fang Ping: ???

It's dangerous inside the village, but what's the danger outside?

"It's not a way to go on like this, if it's weird and calculates me, I'm going to find a way to find out the weirdness and destroy it." Fang Ping rubbed his eyebrows hesitantly.

In the blink of an eye, the village started a new day, and the village chief invited Fang Ping to enter Taoyuan Village as a guest.

"If I go to the village as a guest, will I still come out?" Fang Ping's eyes were burning as he locked onto the village chief who no longer knew him, and asked.

The village chief was puzzled and replied, "Naturally, you can, and the guests can leave whenever they want." ”

In this way, Fang Ping had no choice but to enter Taoyuan Village, and the moment he entered the village, Fang Ping suddenly had a strange feeling of being isolated from the world and entering another world.

Looking back, there was a fog outside the village, and the mountains were faintly visible, which was completely different from the scene Fang Ping was in when he entered the village.

"Guests!"

The village chief enthusiastically pulled Fang Ping towards the village, shouting loudly to the villagers.

In an instant, the villagers of the entire Taoyuan Village heard the sound, and the three layers inside and the three layers surrounded Fang Ping.

"......" Fang Ping was helpless, he could clearly feel the enthusiasm and simplicity of the villagers, maybe even they didn't know that they were in a weird situation, or maybe these villagers were weird things.

All in all, Fang Ping was extremely vigilant.

"Big brother, big brother, where are you from, what fun places are there outside the village."

A group of children rushed to Fang Ping's side with their heads squeezed, scrambling to ask about the world outside Fang Ping's village.

In the evening.

Fang Ping sat on the ground under the big tree in the depths of the village, his eyes were full of food, spirits made from wild fruits in the mountains, and game from the mountains.

But whether it is wine or meat, Fang Ping doesn't dare to contaminate it, "Chu has traveled from south to north and has been to many places, but it is the first time to come to Taoyuan Village, I don't know when this Taoyuan Village began to exist?" ”

The village chief laughed heartily and said knowingly: "The guest is a capable person at a glance, and our Taoyuan Village has existed for a long time, and the old man doesn't know how long it lasts." ”

Fang Ping swept around the villagers sitting on the ground, all of them were ordinary people, and they didn't have the slightest true qi internal force in their bodies.

In the evening, a bonfire is lit in the village, the villagers drink spirits and eat meat, and when the atmosphere is high/high, the village chief takes a clay pot that resembles a strange pattern and places it on the stone platform.

Then.

All the villagers danced and sang sacrificial songs.

Fang Ping was terrified when he heard this, the golden true blood in his body was cold, and he was in a trance, and when he walked over to his senses, he was horrified to find that he and the villagers were holding hands and dancing around the crockpot.

"Hiss"

Taking a deep breath, Fang Ping looked up, the stars in the sky were dim, and the huge full moon had disappeared behind the clouds little by little.

The village chief walked over, "It's not early, everyone should rest, there is nothing taboo in the village, the only special thing is that when the time comes, you can't go out of the house, and I hope the guests will keep it in mind." ”

Fang Ping nodded, he observed this before he walked into Taoyuan Village, as soon as the time passed, the villagers went back to their respective homes, turned off the lights and went to sleep, saying that it was normal and normal, saying that it was strange and strange, the normal thing was that the villagers in the remote mountain village were resting at sunrise, and it was already late to rest when the child was resting, what was not normal was that this was Taoyuan Village!

"Well, thank you for the reminder." Fang Ping was arranged to go to a mud house.

Outside the window, the bonfire burned out, taking away the last light in the village, and the entire Taoyuan Village fell into a bone-chilling night, and even the sound of cicadas could not be heard.

Fang Ping sat on the bed, wiping inch by inch the innate Xuan Soldier whose blade was like a shark's tooth.

The congenital Xuanbing was psychic, and after Fang Ping practiced the "Sword Feeding Technique", he established a blood-related connection with Fang Ping.

Buzz!

The sword trembled.

"Well, I know, this place is terrifying......" Fang Ping muttered in a low voice to appease the innate Xuan Bing.

Minutes and seconds ticked by.

Bang Long!

There was a knock on the door.

Fang Ping's heart was beating violently, he held his breath, hesitated for a moment in front of the door, and after opening the door, there was a woman standing in front of the door.

"You are ......" The woman in Fang Ping's eyes, thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a plump body, white and tender skin, and a loose placket that was about to come out.

"The village chief asked me to come, the slave family Liu."

Fang Ping didn't doubt that he had him, but he didn't let his guard down at all, "Didn't the village chief say that he couldn't go out when he was a child, what did you come to Chu for?" ”

"Can the guest let me into the house first?"

Fang Ping stepped out of his position and closed the door.

Liu explained that her husband died early and had no children under his knees, and the village chief told her that she could come to Fang Ping for help.

"Taoyuan Village, this is really Taoyuan Village." Fang Ping swallowed and spit, and glanced at the Liu family, not at all like a village woman, with a gentle and delicate appearance, a plump and full figure, not to mention one in a thousand, it also has a different flavor.

And not responsible.

It's just that this place is weird, Fang Ping reminded himself that he must not make a big mistake because of a thought/insert/, "Thanks to the village chief's wrong love, Liu Niang looks up to it, but Chu already has a family, I'm afraid I will live up to your affection." ”

"What do guests think I'm not good-looking? Or do you think the slave family is not worthy of you? The adult men in the village all went to join the army outside the village to fight, and the old and the young and the slave families left behind only begged the guests to give me a child, and that's it. Liu Shi was ashamed and said calmly and sincerely.

"That's not going to work either." Fang Ping was unmoved.

Liu burst into tears and left sadly.

Fang Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, but before he could sit down, he heard someone knocking on the door again.
