Chapter 53: Don't Fall into the Village

The city within the city of the Northern Wilderness Temple is majestic, magnificent, and extraordinary.

Xiao Fan finally came to the entrance of the city within the city, two rows of soldiers in battle armor were holding spears, their eyes were cold and abnormal, exuding a solemn aura. They were guarded at the gates, and if they wanted to enter the city, they had to have an invitation, and those who did not have an invitation had to take a simple test.

Next to the city gate, there is a stone tablet three meters high and more than one meter wide, I don't know what material the road is. The stele is translucent, crystal-like, with nine eye-like marks on it.

Xiao Fan saw that those cultivators who did not have an invitation letter were taken under the stone tablet by the commander of the soldiers guarding the city, and put his hand on the stone tablet, and under the operation of the immortal yuan power and blood qi, the light eyes on the tablet lit up one after another, blooming with a dazzling fairy light.

At this time, Xiao Fan only understood the function of the stone tablet, which was just an artifact to test the potential of the cultivator's bloodline. Those who don't have an invitation will have to go to the test and activate the light eye on the stele.

The cultivator from before activated the three light eyes and successfully entered the city within the city. After that, young cultivators continued to walk in front of the stone monument for testing, and three of them could only activate two light eyes, and were told by the commander that they did not meet the requirements and lost their qualifications to enter the city within a city.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan finally knew the minimum requirement for the test, that is, he must activate more than three light eyes, otherwise he could only leave gloomily and was not qualified to go to the Northern Wilderness Temple.

Xiao Fan stepped forward, and the iron-clad commander immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, a pair of cold eyes looked straight at him, and said indifferently: "Show the invitation, if not, go over there to test!"

Xiao Fan took out the invitation and stretched it out in front of the commander, almost sticking it to his face, and then without looking at him, he strode towards the city within the city. Fortunately, Chu Lao gave him an invitation, otherwise he would have attracted attention if he went to the test.

Xiao Fan doesn't like to be noticed, especially when the cultivation realm is far from enough, revealing his edge will only bring endless trouble. Entering the city within a city, a wide avenue stretches forward to a rolling mountain range.

At the front of the avenue, you could see some figures walking quickly, all of them were young cultivators who had entered the city within a city earlier, and they quickly disappeared at the end of the road, entering the mountains.

The so-called city within a city is just a city wall that encloses the territory of the Northern Wilderness Temple, and there are many mountains and rivers in it, and waterfalls and spiritual springs flow straight down. Between the mountains, the fog is hazy, and the spirit birds are flying, like a fairyland.

Xiao Fan walked to the end of this avenue, and in front of him was a high mountain, with dense vegetation and ancient trees, only a bluestone staircase winding up, leading to the deepest part of the mountain. Walking along the winding and sloping bluestone stairs, gradually into the depths of the clouds, on both sides are endless ancient tree wolf forests, and the winding paths ahead are secluded.

The deeper you go, the more you feel like you've come to the land of immortals. Ethereal, mysterious, tranquil, and peaceful, such an environment makes Xiao Fan's body and mind comfortable, and the whole person becomes extremely calm, as if he is one with nature.

"It's a holy place, and it's really extraordinary. Xiao Fan exclaimed in his heart, this place was just the outermost area of the Northern Wilderness Temple, and it was hard to imagine what kind of beautiful scenery it would be when he entered the depths.

When Xiao Fan came to the top of the mountain range, there was still a winding bluestone staircase in front of him. Unlike before, the bluestone staircase winds its way down to the bottom of the mountains. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the end of the bluestone staircase is connected to a path paved with fine stones, like a river passing through the forest in front of it, leading straight into the depths of the misty clouds and smoke, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Xiao Fan walked down the stairs, and soon came to the bottom of the mountain range, and gradually descended into the depths of the clouds along the fine stone path. A canyon appeared in front of it, and the fog was heavy and ethereal, full of ethereal and mysterious feelings.

Passing through the canyon, the world in front of you suddenly opened up, countless strange peaks and mountains towered, misty fairy mist swirled on the top of the strange peaks, and one spirit bird hovered in the air, making a sound of joy.

On the top of the strange peaks and different ridges, you can see a series of spiritual spring waterfalls flowing straight down, looking like the Milky Way hanging upside down from afar, turning silver light under the illumination of the light, everything here is really beautiful.

Xiao Fan was amazed, thinking that he would definitely find such a place to be the Xiao family's clan land in the future. In such a region, the earth contains many spiritual veins, making everything here like the spirit of Zhong Tiandi, even the flowers and trees are extraordinarily lush, like green jade.

Passing through the strange peaks and mountains, a huge mountain range can be faintly seen in the ups and downs of the fairy mist in front of him, and the peaks are as straight as knives, inserting into the sky. On top of those peaks, ancient buildings stretch and fall, exuding the atmosphere of ancient mulberry growth.

Among those peaks, there is one of the most huge peaks, and there is a most majestic palace on it, standing in the depths of the smoke clouds, ethereal and mysterious and majestic, giving people an endless sense of dreams.

"I think that's the main hall of the Northern Wilderness Temple!" Xiao Fan thought to himself, and quickly walked towards the mountain range deep in the smoke clouds in front of him.

As he walked, Xiao Fan actually saw a village of considerable size under the mountain range. There were about forty or fifty houses in that village, and the villagers were working hard around the village, and the wheat in the fields was green and growing luxuriantly.

"Huh... How can there be a village here?" Xiao Fan felt a little surprised, revealing a thoughtful expression. The fact that there are villagers working in those villages means that they are inhabited by ordinary people, almost no people who have not practiced much.

If he saw such a picture in other places, Xiao Fan would naturally not feel strange. However, it is different to see it in such a place, because this is a holy place, and it is really difficult to understand how there can be ordinary villages in the holy place.

Surprised, Xiao Fan decided to go to that village to find out. The presence of a village of ordinary people in such a place really made him want to find out what was going on.

The village was located in the area to the left of the Holy Land Mountain Range, and Xiao Fan came here a moment later. The closer you look, the more you can see it, the architecture of the whole village is very old, and some of the houses have carved patterns on the wooden walls, all of which are flowers, birds, insects, beasts and some ancient plants.

Xiao Fan followed the bluestone path to the front of the village, and seemed to feel the breath of time flowing. This village was too old, and the style of the buildings was very similar to the buildings of the Yan Clan that he had seen in the Blood Refining Secret Realm, which made him feel a huge shock in his heart!

"Impossible! How can it be so similar to the buildings of the Great Wilderness Period?" Xiao Fan was shocked, and immediately shook his head again, and said to himself: "No! The buildings I saw in the Yan Clan are not from the Great Wilderness Period, after all, they are the clan land of the Yan Clan, and all the buildings are blessed by the formation patterns, most of them are left over from the more ancient period!"

At this moment, a somewhat old voice came into my ears: "Young man, are you from the Holy Mountain?"

Xiao Fan turned his head to look and saw an old man about sixty years old, with his trouser legs rolled, bare feet, and a hoe on his shoulders, walking towards him, with a simple smile on his weathered face.

"Hello old man, I am not from the Holy Mountain, but from the outside world. Xiao Fan said with a smile, quickly stepped forward and took the hoe on the old man's shoulder, and said, "Old man, I'll help you get it." ”

The old man was slightly stunned, looked at Xiao Fan carefully, and said with emotion: "In the past few days, there have been many monks from outside, and there are also people who are curious to come to us, but unfortunately there are too few young people like you. ”

Xiao Fan smiled and didn't respond, and the old man said again: "Young man, if it's not too simple, come to our village and sit down, there are still a few days left in the gathering of the Holy Mountain." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey my fate, I am thinking of sitting in your village. Xiao Fan said with a smile, chatted with the old man while walking, and soon came to the entrance of the village.

During the conversation, Xiao Fan learned that the name of this village was - Buluo Village. For generations, there were only forty or fifty households in the village, and there was never an increase or decrease.

Buluo Village has been located here since its existence, and later the Northern Wilderness Temple turned it into a holy place, but it did not drive out the villagers, and still let them live here.

"Grandpa, grandpa, who is he?" A little boy of seven or eight years old ran over with braids, circled around Xiao Fan, and kept looking at him with curious eyes.

"Hehe, Xiaodouzi, this is a fairy from outside, you must not be rude. The old man pulled the little boy to his side and said with a smile.

"Immortals?" Xiao Douzi's eyes lit up, he looked at Xiao Fan excitedly, and said, "Big brother, are you really an immortal?"

"I'm not an immortal, I'm just a cultivator. Xiao Fan smiled and touched Xiaodouzi's head.

At this time, the villagers walked towards this place one after another, and soon surrounded Xiao Fan, and everyone looked at him with curiosity in their eyes.

Xiao Fan smiled, his eyes swept over the faces of these simple villagers, and when he saw a beautiful figure behind the crowd, his heart shook suddenly, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Hey, who are you?, why are you staring at me?" Behind the crowd, a girl with an ethereal temperament and a cute appearance looked at Xiao Fan with a little anger.

The girl looked to be only about fifteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a round face, big eyes, two shiny little tiger teeth when she spoke, and a pair of deep dimples on her cheeks.

Xiao Fan was shocked not by the cuteness and ethereal nature of this girl, but by the aura contained in her. The girl didn't deliberately exude her aura, but she didn't deliberately hide it either, so Xiao Fan could clearly feel her blood and immortal power.

The girl's blood is very vigorous, and the immortal yuan power is even more pure! Xiao Fan secretly opened the Eye of Delusion, and immediately saw through its cultivation, and his heart jumped violently!
