Gu Tong was also silent, paused for a long time, and he sighed: "If the Guqin Residence's master, 'Ziluo Shirt' Shangguan Hong, is still alive, maybe he knows the whereabouts of Xiao Jin, the 'sword-forging maniac'. ”

Yun Feiyang was taken aback, could it be that Master Xie Yin was drunk in Danfeng Mountain and said that he went down the mountain to Guqin Ju to ask Shangguan Hong for advice, in order to find out Xiao Jin's whereabouts? Then, there are two ways to go: first, find Shangguan Hong and ask about Xiao Jin's hermitage; second, find Xiao Jin directly.

Comparatively speaking, the first is the possibility that Shangguan Hong does not know Xiao Jin's whereabouts, and the second is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack. As a result, there are no shortcuts to either path.

"Yun Shaoxia, you look similar to an old friend, but it can't be that old friend, maybe ......" Gu Tong originally wanted to say that it was "after Xing is an old friend", but he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Maybe it's just two people who look more alike." ”

But there was a bit of sadness in his dark eyes, obviously caught in the memories of an unbearable past......

......

Youquan Village.

Smoke was waving and the people of the village had already lit fireworks and started preparing dinner.

This is a simple village with simple folk customs, a paradise with no contention with the world. If you want to come to such a simple village, you will naturally live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy poverty. There is neither the bloody and bloody pursuit of fame and fortune, nor the competition of deceit.

However, the people in Youquan Village are not natives, and some are only three or five people. It can almost be said that the people of Youquan Village come from all over the world and have a variety of identities.

But no one ever asks each other about the past of others, this is a contract that has long been secretly abided by in Youquan Village. Such contracts do not need to be expressly enshrined, but are passed down from generation to generation.

Walking into Youquan Village, all disputes in the rivers and lakes are excluded. This is an iron law, and no one should trample on it.

Of course, most of the people stationed in Youquan Village are tired of the vendettas in the rivers and lakes, and if they come here to find a piece of pure land, they will naturally not have any more incidents. are also willing to adhere to this unique Pure Land Paradise.

Some people say that entering Youquan Village and receiving the washing of Youquan can cleanse the mundane dust in the heart and make people return to the basics.

Some people say that Youquan Village is another place to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, and to pursue the source of truth, goodness and beauty.

However, anyone who enters Youquan Village needs to be supervised, and this responsibility is naturally held by the village chief elected every year.

Because every year Youquan Village will hold a meeting to elect a person of high moral integrity to supervise and manage Youquan Village. Then, this village chief must be a person who convinces people with virtue and is recognized by everyone.

This state of affairs has been maintained for many years, and no one has recorded exactly how many years. It should be said that from a long, long time ago, Youquan Village has been inherited in this way, and there are constantly people who are old, sick and dying, and people continue to come to Youquan Village.

It not only preserves the inheritance of Youquan Village, but also makes Youquan Village a mysterious place considered by the rivers and lakes.

It is also a good day for the annual village chief's election, although it is the smoke rising and the sunset is slanting in the west, but at the source of Youquan Mountain at the foot of Youquan Village, there is an open place, gathering the large and small, old and young of Youquan Village.

In front of the crowd, an altar was erected, and they worshiped neither ghosts nor gods, nor celebrities, but the fountain. Because they believe that they have been able to make Youquan Village have a nearly 100-year heritage, thanks to the protection of Youquan.

Drink the water of the secluded spring and wash the heart of the world.

Only the water of Youquan can cleanse the hearts of people from all over the world who have strife and dust, and then integrate into Youquan Village wholeheartedly and become a member of Youquan Village.

In the place where the source of the secluded spring comes from, the villagers have given this open place a name "Indifferent Altar", what is the Indifferent Altar?

The altar of indifference is placed at the source of the hidden spring. And the clear spring is clear, gushing out from the green mountains, after a hundred turns and turns, meandering down, nourishing the people on the shore of this secluded spring.

Even if he is a heinous demon, standing here, he doesn't feel that he is pure in heart and has few desires, how can he still have any obsession to let go.

Under the indifferent altar, there were crowds, all of them were people from Youquan Village, dressed differently, but all of them were smiling and full of happiness.

......

Gu Yuexuan.

A smile also appeared on Gu Tong's face, "Yun Shaoxia, have you ever heard of Youquan Village?"

"Youquan Village?" Yun Feiyang was puzzled, in the past eighteen years, he had studied art with his master Xie Yin on Danfeng Mountain, and he had never been anywhere except Danfeng Mountain.

He knows that Danfeng Mountain is the most pleasing to the eye when the flowers are blooming, the most charming when the sun sets, and in winter, the snow-capped Danfeng Mountain has a unique flavor.

However, he had never heard of Youquan Village, and Master had never told him.

"Well, Youquan Village is known as the Pure Land outside the rivers and lakes. Gutong further explained.

Yun Feiyang took a slight breath, Danfeng Mountain is the pure land where Master Xie retreats to the rivers and lakes, could it be said that there is a holy place on the rivers and lakes where you can live in seclusion?

"A pure land beyond the rivers and lakes? meaning, a hermitage for people in the rivers and lakes?"

Gu Tong nodded, "Yes, in Youquan Village, there are no grievances and hatreds, only harmonious coexistence. ”

"Senior, have you ever been to Youquan Village?" Yun Feiyang asked curiously, "Where is that?"

Gu Tong was gloomy, but he said clearly: "I haven't been there, the old man is a person from Youquan Village." ”

"Oh, then, you must know how to get to Youquan Village, isn't it the 'sword-forging maniac' Xiao Jin who you said lives in seclusion in Youquan Village? Do you want me to go to Youquan Village to find Xiao Jin Xiao?" Yun Feiyang didn't quite understand why Gu Tong told him about Youquan Village.

He should have understood that Gu Tong wanted to tell him to find Xiao Jin, the "sword forging maniac", but Gu Tong shook his head, "No, Xiao Jin is not in Youquan Village, speaking of Youquan Village, it is really heaven." But there will come a time when heaven will become hell......"

"Heaven has turned into hell? Didn't you say that Youquan Village is a pure land beyond the rivers and lakes?" Yun Feiyang asked in surprise.

"That was once, at least eighteen years ago, Youquan Village was indeed a pure land outside the rivers and lakes, but now it is in ruins. In other words, no one on the rivers and lakes knows about Youquan Village anymore. Gu Tong spoke a little heavy and sad.

"Why?"

"Because Youquan Village became hell eighteen years ago. ”

"Strange, strange, senior, you just said that Youquan Village is a pure land outside the rivers and lakes, a paradise, and now it is said to be hell, could it be that something happened to Youquan Village eighteen years ago?
