Although the old farmer in front of him looked extremely ordinary, Chu Xuan and the others did not relax their vigilance, the creatures that existed in the territory of the Ancient Immortals, not to mention people, even a simple small animal, had to be extra careful, otherwise they would not know how to die until they died.

Chu Xuan walked to the old farmer's side and saluted him respectfully, "Senior." ”

"Haha," the old farmer smiled slightly, "what a senior, just a farmer." ”

"Can you tell us a little bit about the situation here, old man?" Qingyun asked sincerely.

"No," the old peasant did not hesitate, and even vetoed it.

At this moment, Qingyun's face was embarrassed, and Chu Xuan and the others were speechless for a while.

"Grandpa, you're really straightforward. Chu Chu pouted, a little dissatisfied.

The old farmer smiled slightly and pointed to the sky, "Don't worry, someone will tell you later." ”

After speaking, he ignored Chu Xuan and the others and continued to harvest wheat.

Chu Xuan unfolded a piece of animal skin, looked at it and then put it away in disappointment, there was no relevant record of this wheat field in the animal skin, obviously, they had not been here either, and then they had to rely on themselves.

Suddenly, there was a fresh breeze between heaven and earth, and all the old peasants stopped and looked at the sky.

Such a strange act suddenly made all the people who came in take action, and when things went wrong, there must be a vision.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a grand voice to come down from the transparent sky, such a voice was familiar to everyone present, that is, the voice that had been appearing since the portal of the Ancient Wonderland appeared, and the voice at this time was clearer and more terrifying.

"The Tengahara Trial begins, and the human life period is three hundred days. ”

Then, a huge stele fell from the sky like a mountain, the stele was as white as jade, simple and beautiful, and there was not the slightest crack on it, as if the stele had just been completed, and a text was engraved on the stele, suspended between heaven and earth, so that everyone could see it clearly no matter where it was, no matter from which angle.

The inscription is as follows.

Tianyuan trial, resist foreign beasts, hunt the heads of wild beasts, 100 days as a section, the first 100 can leave Tianyuan, 300 days period, those who voluntarily give up, those who stay after the expiration of the period, forever as farmers.

The merciless and cold words were engraved on the stone tablet, causing everyone who saw it to gasp.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least a thousand people on the vast heavenly plain, but according to the inscription, when the three hundred days are full, only three hundred people can leave, which means that the vast majority of the people will be buried here or turned into peasant servants.

It was only at this time that people finally understood the identity of those old peasants on the heavenly plain, and at this time, looking at the aging appearance of those old peasants and their miserable lives, it seemed that they saw themselves many years later.

At this time, everyone secretly swore in their hearts that they must go out and never be farmers.

"What a terrible trial. ”

Chu Xuan looked at the huge stone tablet and sighed in a low voice.

"What, scared?" Chu Chu looked at Chu Xuan, with an expression that you also knew he was afraid of, and patted his full chest, "Don't worry, my senior brother and I will protect you, and we will definitely not let you become the ration of that wild beast, and we will definitely take you out." ”

Chu Xuan smiled and shook his head, "The terrible thing I'm talking about is not the wild beast, since it's a trial, no matter how powerful the wild beast is, there will be a way to deal with it, what I'm worried about is people." ”

"People?" Chu Chu was puzzled.

"Yes, it's people," Qingyun also said, "such a trial is not so much a fight with a beast as a fight with a man." ”

"Everybody wants to live, everybody wants to get out. ”

Mu Bai also said with emotion.

Being said by a few people, Chu Chu also understood, and couldn't help but lower a lot, she knew that what she would face next was not only the attack of wild beasts, but also the strange conspiracies and secret traps of countless people hiding in the shadows.

Chu Xuan's expression was solemn, and he said to Chu Chu and the three of them, "Remember what I said, from now on, here, only the four of us can you trust, and the others, no matter who they are, no matter how famous his reputation and prestige are, no matter what he has, don't believe it, understand?"

"Hmm!"

Chu Chu and the three nodded in response.

At this moment, a scream suddenly pierced the sky.

Chu Xuan and the others were startled, and hurriedly looked, only to see that not far from them, an old farmer was holding his neck with his hand, and bright red blood was constantly flowing out of his fingers, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.

His eyes fell to the ground with a strong unwillingness and a hint of relief that he had not seen for a long time, looked at the sky, and died in a moment.

And in front of him, a person was holding a long knife, with an arrogant attitude, looking at the dead old farmer and spitting disdainfully, "I don't know how to lift the old thing, phew!"

Everyone didn't expect that there would be killing and death at the beginning, and that it was an old farmer who belonged here in the first place, a person who had nothing to do with them.

At this time, Chu Xuan found that even if the old farmer died there just now, the other old farmers here did not show strange expressions and demeanors, as if they were used to this kind of situation, or rather, they were not disgusted by such a situation.

Wrong!

Chu Xuan felt a little strange.

"Kill the peasant servant, die!"

The grand voice in the sky suddenly sounded, and a blood-colored lightning suddenly appeared, and without waiting for anyone to react, the person who had been arrogant just now turned into ashes before he could let out a scream.

Seeing this, everyone was in a cold sweat, and they were glad in their hearts that they didn't fight the inconspicuous old farmer in front of them just now.

Sure enough, Chu Xuan nodded, although the old peasants have a humble status and will never be allowed to leave here for the sake of the peasants, but they have an identity that cannot be ignored, that is, people from the Ancient Immortal Realm.

"Come and sit, it's going to be okay today," the old farmer next to him suddenly beckoned to Chu Xuan and the others, and as he spoke, the old farmer put down the sickle in his hand, sat straight on the ground, took out a bamboo tube from behind him, and drank several sips of water.

Chu Xuan glanced at Chu Chu and the three of them, his eyes signaled to be careful, Chu Chu and the three of them understood, and the four of them came to the old farmer's side and sat on the ground like the old peasant.

The old farmer wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and stretched, "Can you tell me what it's like outside now, I haven't been out for a long time." ”

Chu Xuan glanced at the old farmer, and then the four of them talked about the world they had seen and heard to the old farmer one by one.

After a long time, the sky was a little dark, and I really didn't know what had been used as a light source in this space without the sun.

Chu Xuan and the four of them stopped talking, and after the old farmer was silent for a long time, he sighed softly, "It's good, although I can't see it, but I think there must have been too many changes outside now, I really want to go out and take a look, even if it's a glance, I'm dead." ”

"Senior, can you tell me about you?" Chu Xuan asked.

"Me?" the old peasant was silent for a moment, as if recalling a long memory.

"It's been so long, and I don't know how many years have passed outside now, and I was the same as you are now. ”

"I remember that I was exactly eighteen years old that year, and when I was young and vigorous, I thought that I was dazzling and invincible, and when the ancient fairyland was born, I rushed in without fear. ”

"I also thought that after some training in the territory of the Ancient Immortals, even if I can't get the treasure pill, I can improve my cultivation, and after I go out, it's good to have a capital to show off in front of people, but who knows, hey. ”

The old peasant looked unusually old and gloomy.

"One wrong step is the life of the life of the inemancipation, I think my poor parents are no longer alive now. ”

The old farmer said very sadly.

"Is it really impossible to get out here?" Qingyun didn't believe it, "Even if you can't get out and can't be liberated, it's better to ...... than to suffer forever."

Although Qingyun didn't continue, several people knew what he wanted to say.

"Death?" said the old farmer, then smiled bitterly, "If you can kill yourself, it can be called a good choice." ”

The old farmer's words made several people stunned, and Mu Baizou frowned, "Is it possible that you can't even commit suicide?"

Chu Xuan groaned and pointed to the sky, "It's it." ”

The old farmer nodded, "Yes, once you are a farmer, you have to live here forever, have a long life, and you can't feel the loss of time, but you become a mortal, without any cultivation, and even," Speaking of this, the old farmer sneered.

"It's not as good as mortals, at least mortals still have the ability and choice to decide their own life and death, and we have been deprived of freedom, deprived of cultivation, deprived of life and death, and even deprived of the choice of how to live and die, and now we want to die but can't die. ”

Listening to the old farmer's words, Chu Xuan and the others were silent.

"There is always a glimmer of life left in the way of heaven!"

Suddenly, Chu Xuan said something inexplicable.

Chu Xuan stared at the old farmer with burning eyes, "I believe that the Dao of Heaven never does anything to be extinct, and there will always be a glimmer of life in everything." I believe that even if you are the master of this ancient fairyland, it is difficult to resist the way of heaven, it seems hopeless, but in fact, there is a glimmer of life, but you have not found it. ”

Chu Chu and the three of them looked at Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan's words made them feel incredible, no one had ever said such words to them, and they had never thought about it, and now they suddenly heard what Chu Xuan said, and it was difficult to digest and recognize for a while.

After hearing Chu Xuan's words, the old farmer's expression froze, and he looked at Chu Xuan suddenly, and his originally plain and sad face disappeared immediately, replaced by a deep sense of shock and disbelief.

The originally cloudy eyes were unusually bright at this time, flashing like stars in the sky, and the hoarse voice asked, "What's your name?"

Chu Xuan looked at the old farmer, "Chu Xuan!"

"Chu Xuan," said the old farmer who stood up and glanced at the sky that had darkened, "I'll see you tomorrow." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

"The night is cold and dewy, so don't sleep too deeply. ”

The figure of the old peasant disappeared quickly, and the air echoed with such words.
