Not only Yan Mingzi didn't believe it, but the rest of the people didn't believe it either, so he only held the old man's shoes and looked at the small green areas where the poplars were rooted, and frowned, and then nodded secretly, with a smile on his face.

Yu Qingwu looked at the few people who didn't believe it and smiled, then raised his feet and walked to the small piece of green space, stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of soil that was obviously wetter than the rest of the place, and said to a few people: "You take a closer look, Qingyuan Ancient Town is surrounded by a flat river, but the terrain here is slightly lower, forming a depression, so that all the scarce water and gas converge here, which makes weeds grow in the depression on both sides." ”

After a pause, he pointed to the villagers in Qingyuan Town and said: "The villagers put the pot in the only depression with water vapor, and gather water vapor with the help of leaves and branches. ”

Water without roots is water that has not yet landed, that is, dew. A few lonely aspen trees are rooted in the depression, and they will naturally be contaminated with dew at night, and once the dew is too much, it will fall when it can no longer be held, and before that, the villagers have already placed the pots under the trees, and the dew will naturally fall into the pots.

Hearing Yu Qingwu's explanation, Jin Buchou and the others immediately walked to the edge of the depression and touched the soil that was much wetter than other places, and then they showed their eyes. Jin Buchou patted the poplars beside him, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect these trees to have a great effect!" After a pause, he looked at the old man with a faint look on his face, and said, "Old man, how did you know that Lu Dao used this method to get water?"

They are all monks, they can sense the qi of heaven and earth, and naturally they can also sense that the water vapor in the depression is heavier than the rest of the place, but this is also a limit, ordinary people can't sense this subtle gap at all, so he is very strange how the people in Qingyuan Town know the Dao.

"Speaking of which, this is also the luck of our Qingyuan Town!"

The old man seemed to have a high prestige, raised his hand to the villagers behind him, and signaled them to put all the water receiving utensils under the tree, and then he said to Yu Qingwu and other outsiders: "In the past, although our Qingyuan Town was not as prosperous as in the past, many villagers did not have to worry about eating and drinking, don't look at this desert in this place, there is a boundless desert in front, but the town is full of drinking water, just because there is an ancient well in the town that has survived since ancient times, and it is the water in this ancient well that has fed us from generation to generation." ”

"But since that day nine years ago, the water in the well has dried up for some reason, and there has been no water again! Water is a necessity for us mortals, and we will die of thirst if we do not drink it for a few days, so we can only slaughter the animals we have raised, and replace water with blood, hoping that one day the well will be full again." ”

"It's a pity that until the cattle died of thirst or were slaughtered, the ancient well still did not return to normal, the people in the town died of thirst one after another, until three days later, a young Taoist who claimed to be from the fairy mountain came to our town, the Taoist said that the reason why the ancient well has no water, is the evil spirit, but the Taoist said that he is not good enough, and can not get rid of the demon, and he has important things to do, can not go back to the mountain gate to ask for help, so before leaving, we have to tell us that we can use a bowl and pot to receive water under the tree, even if we can not completely solve the livelihood, but also to alleviate the misfortune somewhat。 ”

Hearing the old man's words, Yu Qingwu and the others glanced at each other, and their hearts were clear. This Qingyuan ancient town is only thousands of miles away from Kunlun Mountain, and the so-called fairy mountain nearby is only Kunlun.

"Nine years ago......" Yu Qingwu muttered softly, and then asked the old man, "Do you remember what day the old man was nine years ago?"

There were too many things that happened nine years ago, the newcomer emperor inherited the great unification, and the demons and demons attacked Kunlun Mountain, in addition, there was also that day when the thunder burst in the sky, like the end of the world, it was also that day that Yu Qingwu got the five-color divine stone, and since then he has been able to cultivate again, and he has also achieved the innate body, which can be cultivated in both Taoism and martial arts.

Before the old man could speak, a middle-aged man with a yellow face and thin face answered: "I remember very clearly, that day, the thunder in the dome was endless, and it resounded for half an hour, and the thunder light illuminated the heavens and the earth transparently and brightly, and after that day, there was no more water in the ancient well!"

"yes, yes, I'll never forget that day!"

"It was a nightmare, and it stayed in my heart for nine years......"

The people of this isolated ancient town trembled with fear as soon as they heard the scene of that day nine years ago. The scene of that day was terrifying, and to these mortals it was tantamount to the scene of the end of the world. In fact, in the eyes of the people of Qingyuan Town, it was a sign, a sign of disaster! Otherwise, why would the thousand-year-old well dry up after that day?

"It turned out to be that day!"

Yu Qingwu and the others showed a look of clarity, although they didn't know why there was such a grand scene that day, but from the mouths of several elders and palace masters, it seemed to be related to the birth of demons, so it made sense to think about it, and the Kunlun disciples who came here a few years ago said that there were demons here, and it was true to think about it.

"Please take me to see the ancient well in your town!" said Zixu, the eldest of the ten people in Yu Qingwu's group this time.

"Okay, please!"

The old man raised his hand and motioned for the yellow-faced and thin middle-aged man who had spoken before to step forward to lead the way, while he walked towards the town with the support of Zixu and Yongzhen. A group of people walked east along the bluestone paved road in the town, and there were a lot of dry dead trees in front of the stone houses on both sides of the way, so it is not difficult to see that in fact, this Qingyuan ancient town was not so desolate in the past, and there were still some green scenery. It's just that the only ancient well in the town has dried up, and even the surrounding land has dried up, so that the trees that were originally alive have died, and the desolate scene has been formed.

Dozens of people have been walking along the bluestone road, and after walking straight for a hundred feet, the middle of the road in front of them is blocked by a huge stone monument. The stele can be more than six feet high and more than six feet wide, and there are three big characters on it--washing the well of sin.

"Cleansing the well of sin?"

As soon as he saw the name of the well on the stele, Jin Buchou immediately took the lead, bypassed the stele, and saw the true face of the 'well of washing sins'. The well was seven feet wide and surrounded by bluestone and a height of bluestone. The bluestone by the well has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, and has long been polished round and smooth by the years, and it looks more like green jade, which looks simple and heavy.

"At that time, the daughter of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor settled in this western land, which made the already barren western land even more drought, and most places were unsuitable for living, only Qingyuan Town could barely live in people. At that time, the Yellow Emperor felt ashamed of the people of the West, so he ordered someone to hit this sin-washing well, and blessed the divine power to make the well water never dry up, so as to compensate us Qingyuan Town. ”

The old man came to the stele with the support of Zilu and Zhenzhen, and his dry firewood-like hand gently brushed the stele, and his face was covered with sadness. The sin washing well is said to never be dry, but it suddenly dried up nine years ago, so that many people in Qingyuan Town die of thirst every year, and now they can't even guarantee their livelihood.

For mortals, the absence of water means that there are no crops, no livestock, and no such roots, how can they live? It is not that they do not want to leave here, but they are weak and cannot go west to Kunlun, and they cannot cross the desert in the east, so they can only be born here and die here. If it weren't for the Kunlun disciples passing through this place nine years ago, I'm afraid that as early as nine years ago, this Qingyuan Town would have become a mass grave!

Seeing that Jin Buchou had been looking at the well, Yan Mingzi, Tian Mingzi and others also walked over curiously, but when they found that the well was pitch black and they couldn't see anything, they immediately lost interest.

"It seems to be a little demonic......

Jin Buchou is a little higher than their cultivation, and when he has been looking at the wellhead for a long time, he has a strange feeling in his heart, but he can't be sure. Thinking of this, he immediately said to Yu Qingwu, who was looking around for something strange: "Ah Shu, your cultivation is the highest, you come here to see if there is a slight demonic aura in the well!"

The demon qi in Jin Buchou's mouth is not the 'demon qi' cultivated in the demon body, but the demon beast is born with the kind of breath that is different from humans, this kind of breath is harmless to people, and it is not like the demon qi in the demon body, which can make people's bodies change.

Hearing Jin Buchou's words, Yu Qingwu immediately raised his feet and stepped forward. Before he reached the mouth of the well, he frowned, and then quickened his pace to the side of the well, looking at the bottom of the well.

With the eyes of ordinary people, at most you can see the well, and then it is pitch black below, and you can't really see it. Yu Qingwu's Dao cultivation has already reached the peak of the Jindan Ninefold, and he is only half a step away from breaking the Dan into a baby, and at this time, his mana and eyes can see the distance of more than ten zhang!

"How's it going, what did you find?" said Kim Buchou nervously.

Yu Qingwu retracted his gaze, frowned and said: "With my eyesight, I should be able to see the bottom of the well, but there is a powerful demonic power at the bottom of the well, no matter how I use my strength and eyes, I can't see through the bottom of the well." ”

"Is that really a demon?" Jin Buchou raised his eyebrows, then looked at Yu Qingwu with anticipation and said, "Is that demon strong, can you deal with it?"

He clearly remembered that his master Jun Tianzhen said that when he encountered a powerful demon, he should not even think of running away directly, and it was important to save his life! Although he had always disagreed with Jun Tianzhen's words, he deeply believed that this sentence was true, after all, he and others came out to experience, not to send them to death! There are demons in Qingyuan Town, and if they can be subdued, they can be subdued, and if they can't, they can only say that the lives of people in Qingyuan Town should be like this.

"You can't handle it. Yu Qingwu said in a deep voice.

Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, Jin Buchou hurriedly jumped back a step, keeping a sufficient distance from the sin-washing well, and then said to a few people: "Since we can't deal with it, what are you grinding against, let's hurry up! If that monster cramps and suddenly comes out, won't we all have to die in this ghost place?" After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the town.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Qingyuan Ancient Town, but he can't do anything, and if he barely stays, maybe his little life will be handed over here.

"Look at your little bit of interest!"

Seeing Jin Buchou's cowardice, Yu Qingwu shook his head helplessly and said, "I said you couldn't deal with it, but I didn't say I couldn't deal with it!"
