The little hope that had just been ignited was extinguished in this way, and the village chief's face was full of gloom, as if he had just been drained of his vitality, and he looked ten years old in an instant.

Seeing this, Yu Yu was a little unbearable, and comforted: "But as your ancestors said, the people in the village do not have spiritual roots, maybe it's just because the spiritual energy of this land is thin, as long as they can go out and live in a different place, the descendants born again at that time may be able to have the qualifications to cultivate immortals." ”

Mu Duanya also spoke: "Yes, I remember that some villagers said that your ancestors said that if you can go out, your descendants will be like us. ”

The concentration of aura does have an impact on the baby's spiritual root, it is said that one side of the water and soil raises one person, it is really good, and the area with strong aura often has many more children with spiritual roots than in areas with thin aura, so when the sect recruits people, if the manpower is tight, some places with thin aura will be directly skipped, because even if you go, there may not be any gain.

The fact that the descendants of this nameless village basically have no qualifications to cultivate immortals is really likely to be affected by the barren aura of the land here.

"But we haven't tested the qualifications of the villagers yet, and it's too early to make a conclusion. Wen Liang said.

Mu Duanya also echoed: "That's it, that is, when we finish talking, gather the people in the village, and we will test the spiritual root for everyone." ”

After listening to the comfort of Yu Yu and the others, the village chief felt better, so he regained his spirits and began to tell about Nameless Island.

"The ancestors who settled on Nameless Island have multiplied for generations, and there are no more children with spiritual roots...... But the eccentricity of Nameless Island continues. The village chief paused, and then continued, "I don't know when a man and a woman disappear from the village every seven years, and most of them are children and young people. ”

"Wait. Yu Yu said, "The passage you mentioned earlier that only immortal cultivators can enter is also opened once every seven years, what is the connection between the two?"

The village chief sighed and said: "Our ancestors found that passage when they were searching for the missing villagers, there should be a connection, otherwise there would not be such a coincidence in time, but we can't tell what it is." In short, there were some rumors in the village that Nameless Island should not be inhabited, and that the missing men and women were the landlords of Nameless Island who were asking for sacrifices from us, and that there was always a price to pay for occupying someone else's place. ”

Yu Su frowned and said: "Where is there such a saying, the immortal who eats incense and worships incense like the land lord wants the population of the area under his jurisdiction to increase, otherwise where will he get his willingness." ”

The land lord is a mortal immortal appointed by the upper realm, and he cannot easily show his face, and the world's perception of them can only rely on some legends and classics, but he doesn't like people to go to his own territory, and Yu Yu is really the first time to hear about it.

But then after all kinds of rumors increased, the ancestors tried to start worshipping the land lord, and they built a land temple in the mountain where the passage was located, and every seven years they would send a man and a woman there during the Halloween festival, and the next day the man and woman would disappear into thin air...... There were also unbelievers who hid in the shadows and observed, but the men and women who were sacrificed disappeared, and they did not find anything unusual. But at least this saves us from putting everyone in danger every seven years, because we know that the land lord has accepted our sacrifice, and the person who will sacrifice can be decided by us, so every seven years in the future, the whole village will hold a lot, and two families will be selected as sacrifices to the land lord. ”

"Decades ago, my family won the lottery, and it was my second daughter who was sacrificed. There was a deep sadness in the old village chief's voice, no matter which family this kind of thing was spread to, it was an unbearable pain in life.

Yu Yu and the three of them looked at the old village chief with a sad face, and they didn't know how to comfort him for a while, after all, they were young, and the eldest Wen Liang was only twenty-three years old, and they had not experienced this kind of pain of parting from their relatives, so they couldn't comfort this old man who lost his daughter with their hearts.

Seeing the tangled expressions on the faces of the three of them, how could Feng He, a person who had lived for most of his life, not understand, he said: "It was all decades ago, I have already seen it, it is not my daughter, it will be someone else's daughter." ”

Mu Duanya muttered in a low voice, "What kind of door is this......"

"Graceful. Wen Liang whispered a warning.

The village chief did not continue the topic about his daughter, but shifted the topic back to Nameless Island itself: "In short, one of the most widely circulated theories now is that our ancestors offended the land lord of Nameless Island, so they have been trapped here for generations, and that passage is the passage to the outside world, and we can only continue to sacrifice to the land lord, and when the land lord is dissipated, that passage will be opened for us." ”

Yu Yu pondered: "Your ancestors have lived here for thousands of years, right?"

"Yes. The village chief replied.

"Even if it takes a few decades for Nameless Island to welcome a foreigner, then there are many strangers who have strayed into Nameless Island in the past thousand years, and there must be someone among them who will try to solve the mystery of being trapped for you, right?"

"Absolutely. The village chief said, "There are two kinds of outsiders who have come to the Nameless Island, one is an immortal like you, and the other is a mortal like us. There are also immortals who have tried to lurk in the shadows for us to find out the land lord, but they have all returned in vain, and they have basically entered the passage afterwards. ”

"Wait a minute. Yu Su said, "Why don't any of you have ever entered that passage, but you all agree that it leads to the outside world?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment and said, "We have all tried the way out of this island, but this road is very special, but we can't get in." ”

"But it doesn't mean it's the way out. Mu Duanya said.

Yu Su nodded in agreement: "I think where exactly this road leads is still up for debate, in the despair of not being able to get out of the island, such a strange passage suddenly appeared, your ancestors will subconsciously regard it as the last hope, that is, the passage out of the island." ”

Wen Liang also felt that it made sense: "There is indeed such a possibility. ”

"No way. The village chief said categorically.

"Why?" the trio asked, confused.

"Because the immortal of Yingzhou more than thirty years ago entered the passage in front of us, what he said at that time was: Out of this passage, I can go back. The village chief said with a very serious expression.
