Chapter 143: Exploration

"They are all orphans in the village, and since their parents died, they have been adopted and cared for by Granny Ma. Yingluo sighed and spoke.

"According to what you said before, there have been many Fang Cun Mountain disciples in this longevity village, even if after many years, their longevity is limited, there should always be a inheritance, right?" Shen Luo knew that there must be some unspeakable tragic things behind this, so he didn't look into it further, and asked instead.

"Those Fangcun Mountain disciples, some died when they went out to explore the road, and some died when they climbed the mountain to ask for help, and there are not many left. As time passed, one after another, they passed away, and although they all had apprentices and passed them on, the apprentices and grandchildren they received had shorter lives, and some even died earlier than them. A few years ago, when the village began to be attacked by demon beasts, there were only two people left, Granny Ma and I. Yingluo nodded and said slowly.

I am deeply aware of the difficulties of meditation.

Even a small sect with an orderly inheritance like the Spring and Autumn View cannot guarantee that its disciples can all pass on the Fa and then pass it on from generation to generation, and it is even more impossible for this barren small mountain village to do so. Those who pass on the re-transmission of immortal cultivators will only decline little by little.

When he thought of the immortal cultivators in the village being trapped here, one by one helpless, and the situation in the village was also declining, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"Didn't these demon beasts have existed since ancient times, but only appeared a few years ago?" Shen Luo asked again.

"About four years ago, the village was suddenly hit by an epidemic, many children were infected, and several villagers went up to Fangcun Mountain in order to find herbs, contrary to the instructions of their ancestors. As a result, the fierce birds and beasts on the mountain seemed to have opened their minds and ate them all, and then they became even more ferocious, and began to take the initiative to descend the mountain to attack us. Yingluo nodded and said.

"But all demons, before tasting blood food, there is still a trace of nature, but once they taste it, they will definitely come to taste it, and they will never die. Shen Luo sighed and said.

"That's true. After that, we had to build a wall to shelter the entire village against the monsters that attacked from time to time. It's just that as the village ran out of talismans, Granny Ma suffered heavy losses, and more and more people died in the village. Those demon beasts and demon birds that came down the mountain became more and more frequent, if it weren't for Brother Shen's appearance this time, we would definitely not be able to support it anymore. Yingluo said, and there was a little more gratitude in his eyes.

"I got here by chance, probably because of the fate in the dark. Shen Luo shook his head and said.

"Brother Shen, the situation in the village is probably like this, what are your plans in the future?" Yingluo said with some hesitation.

"I'm not here in the first place, so I won't stay long, and I'll leave when I find my way. Shen Luo said.

"This time to repel these animals, can only solve the urgent need for a while, if you can't find a way out, everyone in the village will still be unable to escape death after all, since you can come in, you should also be able to find a way out, can you ask Brother Shen to help us find a way to escape." When Yingluo heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said.

When Shen Luo heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but secretly pondered.

After hearing about the situation in this longevity village, he felt sympathy in his heart, but also a little more worried, if the fog barrier could not be broken, he himself was afraid that he would be trapped here like everyone in the village.

He hadn't figured out how he had returned to reality in his previous dreams, and he didn't want to be trapped here in such a daze.

"If Brother Shen is in trouble...... Yingluo saw that Shen Luo didn't speak, and his expression darkened slightly.

"I can try, but I'm not sure. Shen Luo suddenly spoke.

"Brother Shen can respond, it is a great kindness to my whole village, Yingluo has thanked him. Yingluo hurriedly stood up and bowed, and said sincerely.

"Well, I'll rest in the village tonight, and I'll go out early tomorrow morning to find my way. Shen Luo helped her up and said.

"It's all up to Brother Shen. Yingluo said with a smile on his face.

"By the way, is there still rune paper in the stockade?" Shen Luo suddenly remembered something and asked.

"No one in the village knew how to draw talismans decades ago, and there seems to be some talisman paper, but I don't know if it can be used, Brother Shen will wait a while, I'll look for it." Hearing this, Yingluo thought for a while, and then hurried out.

After a short time, Yingluo came back with a dusty box and handed it to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo took the box and opened it, and found that most of the rune papers inside had been eaten by insects, and there were only a dozen or so pieces of rune paper that could barely be used.

Fortunately, there was also a small jar of cinnabar inside, which was well preserved.

Shen Luo was overjoyed, so he drew all these runes into runes, and under this painting, he found that it was much smoother than in reality, and almost every rune looked full of energy when it was completed.

"You know how to use the talisman, right?" Shen Luo took out three small thunder talismans from them and handed them to Yingluo, asking.

"Just infuse the mana into it, right?" Yingluo was a little surprised that Shen Luo could draw a talisman before he said.

"Not bad. Shen Luo nodded.

......

Early the next morning, Shen Luo only said a word to Yingluo, and then left the village, and went to the foggy area alone.

He deliberately did not go to the hillside, but followed the col in the other direction, and after only a few miles from the village, the fog in the air began to thicken.

Shen Luo walked cautiously, until he walked from the low terrain of the col to a flat and open area, and instead of finding any road in front of him, the fog was already thick to an almost substantial state.

He walked a short distance further, and found that a layer of fog that had darkened in color had condensed and almost stopped flowing, and looked like a white wall of dense fog condensed in front of him.

After a little hesitation, Shen Luo decided to step into it and try it.

As a result, as soon as he entered it, he felt some discomfort in his nose and throat, and after a dozen more steps inward, he felt a distinct feeling of suffocation, which forced him to retreat.

Standing outside the thick fog wall, Shen Luo's breathing finally became easier, and he looked all the way forward along the fog wall, and found that it really stretched forward like a high wall, and there was no end in sight.
