The continent of the world is vast, and I don't know how many tens of millions of miles in circumference.

There are many hidden places that the world has heard of, but may never be able to find for the rest of your life.

For example, the dojo of several saints.

For example, the temple on the shore of Jiangxin Lake.

For example, the demon realm that has long been hidden in this world and has only existed in ancient times.

There are also many ordinary places that are not known to the world, and may never be remembered or discovered if nothing else.

For example, this knife town.

The origin of Knife Town is unknown, only that it has been rooted in the edge of the wilderness ancient forest somewhere on the continent a long time ago.

Hunting has been a living for generations.

Today is the fourth day that Tang Qing has come to Xiaodao Town.

Three days ago, he was seriously injured and in a coma, and today he wanted to leave the town and hurry up, but he was forcibly left behind by Qin Han.

In order to prevent Tang Qing from saying goodbye, Qin Han even directly asked his daughter Qin Wu to come over to take care of this lone boy from a foreign land.

Nong Hong looked at his niece at that time and teased her for being brave and courageous, and never dared to face Tang Qing alone.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wu agreed, as if he had already intended something.

The girl's mind is so elusive.

At this time, in the guest house, Qin Wu was cleaning up the corners of the room, and at the same time was busy dressing up the new medicine bag for Tang Qing, and the inadvertent touch of his fingers made the already shy girl blush even more, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, and did not dare to look at Tang Qing the whole time.

Tang Qing was even more restless.

There is no personal affection, nothing to do with intimacy, and he always feels a little uncomfortable with such an almost intimate care.

But it's hard to refute this good intention.

When the medicine bag on his chest was dressed and the room had been tidied up, he straightened up and looked at Qin Wu and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Miss Qin, I have worked hard today, and I really deserve it." Please be sure to tell Ling Zun that the injuries on his lower body are no longer serious, and there is no need to bother Miss Qin to take care of them. ”

Qin Wu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes darkened, and his heart was a little uncomfortable.

She whispered in a low voice, "Am I not taking good care of me?"

"Absolutely not!"

Tang Qing quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's really different between men and women, it's not good to ruin Miss Qin's reputation." Besides, I'm almost healed, and I'm going to leave here soon......"

Hearing Tang Qing propose to leave again, Qin Wu quickly mustered up the courage to raise his head, and his tone was a little anxious: "But Dad and Uncle Nong both said that they would wait until Doctor Miao came back and made sure that Gongzi was okay before leaving." ”

Tang Qing was silent for a moment and said, "When will that Miao Divine Doctor come back?"

"A few days ago, Gongzi, you were unconscious, and after seeing your injuries, Doctor Miao prescribed medicine to you, and instructed us to take good care of you. Then he left, and heard from his father that he went to the mountain behind the town, which was the forbidden place of Xiaodao Town, and no one dared to enter it except for Doctor Miao and a few veteran seniors. ”

Qin Wu said: "Doctor Miao has also been to Houshan before, all to pick some strange medicinal herbs, and he will come back soon in the past. But this time, four days have passed, and there is no news of him, which is also very strange. ”

Tang Qing frowned and did not answer.

Qin Wu continued: "Dad has already discussed with the old-timers in the town, if Doctor Miao hasn't come back tonight, tomorrow morning, he will have to go to the back mountain with a few uncles and uncles in the town. ”

Hearing this, Tang Qing suddenly asked, "What is so terrible about the back mountain?"

Qin Wu shook his head and said: "No one knows what secrets are hidden in the back mountain, only that this is a rule passed down from the older generation." When I was a child, I asked my father, and he said that he couldn't tell me that there were ghosts in the back mountain, so I must not run into it for fun. ”

"Ghosts?"

Tang Qing muttered in his heart, feeling a little strange.

Qin Wu didn't continue to talk about this, she just looked at Tang Qing's side face, with affection in her eyes.

No one spoke in the room anymore, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.

This pair met for a few days, and the teenagers and girls who had seen each other for a few days had their own thoughts, and began to be silent in the house.

And in the forbidden land in the back mountain north of Knife Town, there is a conversation going on that has been going on for a long time.

The content of this conversation is somewhat complex and may be difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The two protagonists of this dialogue are also a little strange, and ordinary people may not be able to understand them.

Because this is a conversation between an old man and an old turtle.

......

Between the barren rocks in the forbidden land of the back mountain, there is a dry well standing alone.

The edge of the wellhead was covered with dark green moss and the smell of decay brought by the wind and frost years, and when you looked down from the wellhead, there was no bottom in sight, except for a dark and ancient halo, and there was no color or anything else to be seen.

The old man and the old turtle sat at the ends of the dry well, like a pair of old friends.

The picture is a little peculiar, but it is very harmonious.

Their eyes looked at the depths of the dry well at the same time, and there was a unique look on their faces, with a kind of absolute concentration and seriousness.

When the sky was getting darker, the old man suddenly looked back at the sky above his head, and said, "The world below the bottom of the well is even more dull than this empty darkness, you should come out and see more, even if you can't bask in the sun, it's good to see the birds and flowers." ”

As soon as this sentence fell, the old turtle on the other side of the dry well pulled the corners of his mouth, showing an obvious smile, and then opened his mouth slightly and began to speak: "I have forgotten how long it has been, since when even basking in the sun has become a very luxurious thing." ”

The old man smiled reluctantly when he heard this, a little bitter, shook his head and sighed.

The old turtle withdrew his gaze, glanced at the old man, and suddenly changed his words, and spoke again: "Let's talk about business, are you sure that he is the child from the Tang Kingdom?" This human continent is the most amazing, there are countless genius boys, not to mention the descendants of those saints, just between the recklessness, there are not a few people who make you unable to see through the fate, but don't look away." ”

The old man said: "I checked the pulse for him, looked at the face, and touched the cold life in his blood, although I can't see through it, but because of this, I am more sure that it is him." What's more, he looks very similar to the saint of the Tang Kingdom. ”

The old turtle thought for a moment and nodded: "That's good, if you can follow his chance, our clan will not be mixed in the cold and damp virtual realm all year round, you can also take off the burden on your body and put this skin bag on your body." ”

"But even if we find him, we may have to wait many years. At least now, if he wants to break the rules of this world, he still needs to cultivate for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, he's just taken a step forward. ”

The old man straightened up, circled around the dry well, and said slowly: "I am afraid that he will not be blessed with this opportunity." ”

The old turtle smiled: "The old man's blessing and longevity, the younger generations can enjoy it, and we old immortals will not live only for ourselves." That's what you said many years ago. ”

The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.

The old turtle continued: "What's more, we have been waiting for thousands of years, do we still care about these years? ”

Speaking of this, the old turtle raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the headspace gradually dimmed, and the halo dispersed, I am afraid that it will soon be dark.

Far away in the sky, the outline of a slanting moon has appeared in the sky, with a bit of dreamy pure white.

The old turtle suddenly dodged into the shadows cast by the dry well, erected the indestructible turtle shell on its body, blocking all the light from the outside world, and its voice came from the shadows again, with some embarrassment and self-deprecation: "The essence of the sun and the moon that we once relied on and loved the most, but now we can't avoid it, and the enchantments and rules of the world are really too unfriendly to us." ”

The old man stood in front of the old turtle and sighed, "Since this world is called the human world, any other living being will naturally be regarded as an alien by the human race. Except for those puppets who have been domesticated and subdued, willing to be the powerhouses of the human race, and even the demon beasts and ghosts who have been marked with a divine sense contract, who else can escape the sanctions of the rules of the world?"

With a hint of struggle and despair in the old man's eyes, he continued: "In the end, it is still whose fist is the biggest and who is in charge, the battle between heaven and earth back then, if the Demon Saint Lord wins, the ending will be completely different. Now under the sky, there is only this dry well left for the clan to survive, and the reincarnation of cause and effect has long been predestined, and the demon clan should have this calamity. ”

The old turtle shrunk his neck and said in a deep voice, "You have been with those humans in Xiaodao Town for so many years, and your words have become more and more humane. ”

The old man waved his hand and said helplessly: "If it weren't for this bit of human flavor, I am afraid that the thunder in the world would have blown me into slag a long time ago." ”

The old turtle stretched out his front paws and scratched his face, but did not answer.

The old man continued: "Ironically, the Terrans trapped us in a dry well, but I still took the risk to come to the human world and become the Miao Divine Doctor of Knife Town, treating them and saving people. ”

The old turtle said: "If it weren't for your title of Miao Divine Doctor, I am afraid that this dry well in the back mountain would have been filled in a long time ago." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old turtle began to move very slowly and crawled towards the dry well.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the moonlight gradually brightened, shining into every corner of the back mountain along the deep night of the sky.

The old man squinted his eyes against the moonlight, and there was some heat in his eyes.

The hard shell of the old turtle's back was touched by the moonlight, and it made a violent screeching sound, as if a red-hot iron rod had been put into the extremely icy water, with an extremely incompatible tendency.

Finally turned over and entered the well, and the old turtle's somewhat weak voice came from the well: "If you want to leave, just wait for me outside for the night, and when the moonlight dissipates and the sun rises, we can talk for a while." ”

The old man stood at the edge of the dry well, with a sad look on his face, and after a long time said, "I still have to go and see those old fellows, I haven't talked to them for a long time." ”

The old turtle let out a long sigh in the well, and then said, "It's okay...... Go back and find an opportunity to bring that kid to the back mountain, and I want to meet him. ”

After saying this, there was no sound in the dry well.

The old man looked down the well, the deep space was dark, and the old turtle was gone.

It's like entering another world.

At this time, the moonlight poured like mercury on the ground, but it could not shine into the dry well, as if it was blocked by some force.

The old man stood still for a long time, and when the night breeze rose, he wrapped his thin clothes slightly, stepped on the moonlight, and left.

His shadow was cast by the moonlight, shining on the ground behind him, and it looked very clear.

It is in the shape of an old turtle.
