The Twelve Dharma Protectors!

Zhao Yuan can now be sure that above the twelve Dharma protectors, there is at least one more terrifying existence.

After leaving the giant tower, Zhao Yuan sneaked around the island, trying to find the whereabouts of the Red Heart Divine Tree.

There are at least eleven masters on this island who are at the same level as Li Hao, and Zhao Yuan didn't dare to make a big move, so he could only search little by little.

The island is not as small as Zhao Yuan guessed, in fact, this island is very large, Zhao Yuan walked dozens of miles along the forest by the sea, and still did not see any people, and the coastline, as if there was no end, has been moving forward.

It's a pity that you can't fly into the sky to observe, otherwise, if you take a bird's eye view, the topography of this island will be immediately clear at a glance.

Zhao Yuan couldn't think of a better way, so he could only search little by little, hoping to find clues.

Now, Zhao Yuan is not only looking for the Red Heart Divine Tree, but also hopes to be able to inquire about the situation on this island. Unfortunately, if he hadn't been discovered by the women, he would have been mixed in with the slaves by now.

However, Zhao Yuan was also secretly glad that if it weren't for being discovered, he might have been sent to the construction site to be enslaved now.

A slave has no access to core secrets.

It seems that being found out is also a blessing in disguise.

If you are mixed with slaves, you will either be enslaved in silence, or you will fight your way out. No matter which choice is made, Zhao Yuan will not end well, it is better to slowly look for clues like now.

After walking for dozens of miles, it was already sunset, and Zhao Yuan found the cooking smoke.

After seeing the smoke, Zhao Yuan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the place where the smoke was cooking.

Judging by the density of the smoke, the place should have been a human settlement.

There are talented people in the rivers and lakes.

There is a human society.

There are people who have a country.

There are people who have intelligence.

There is hope for people......

Soon, Zhao Yuan arrived at his destination, and when he observed a stick of incense, Zhao Yuan had already determined that this was an ancient small fishing village, and it could be judged from the fishing gear in front of the house that the people here had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, and they still maintained some ancient fishing methods.

There are more than 30 households in the small fishing village, and if one household is counted as three people, it is about 100 people.

Zhao Yuan decided to take the risk.

Zhao Yuan put the camouflage uniform into the Sumeru ring, got a rag towel around his crotch, and soiled his body, and then, found a remote and dilapidated wooden house, through the reconnaissance of the "quiet" realm, Zhao Yuan has determined that in this wooden house, there are two old people, a woman, and a child about ten years old.

Zhao Yuan was not chosen randomly, but deliberately.

Families like this are mostly kind-hearted.

"Ah......" The door was opened by a young woman with good facial features, but a little haggard, and the young woman exclaimed in surprise when she saw Zhao Yuan, who was almost naked.

"Help me, save me......" Zhao Yuan protected the door frame, and before he could finish a sentence, he fainted.

The rest is a logical thing.

Zhao Yuan was carried to the bed with all hands and feet, and after drinking a bowl of hot fish soup, Zhao Yuan "woke up", and at this time, Zhao Yuan had been tied to the bed with five flowers.

"Are you a worker in the cemetery?" an old man with a vicissitudes of life looked at Zhao Yuan vigilantly.

"Yes. Zhao Yuan immediately guessed that the "cemetery" in the old man's mouth should be the huge square stone tower.

"How did you get here?" the old man did not let his guard down.

"I was caught on a cargo ship a few days ago, and after I got off the ship, I went to this small island, and there was a group of fierce and evil people, who oversaw me every day to work, and I couldn't bear the torture, so I pretended to be dead, and they threw me off the cliff, and I survived, and I found ...... along the seashore."

Zhao Yuan's answer can be described as seamless, he said that he was just captured, which avoids being interrogated and exposes his feet, and at the same time, he can also hide his strong body, after all, most of the slaves on this island are skinny, which is incompatible with his strong body.

"What should I do, old man?" said the gray-haired old woman, with a look of fear on her face.

"What can I do, I must not send him over, or he will be found by the people in the cemetery, and our whole family will die without a place to bury. The old man sighed, a look of helplessness on his face.

"Ah...... Please, please......" Zhao Yuan turned pale with fright and begged bitterly.

"Young man, it's not that we don't save you, our village, there are only a hundred or so people in total, if we leave you behind, we will definitely be discovered, once the people in the cemetery find out that we have taken in outsiders, our whole family will ......" The old man's face showed a trace of unbearable expression.

"What will they do to him, old man, if we send him back?" asked the gray-haired old woman.

"......" the old man was silent for a while.

"Old man, leave him behind!" The old woman gently touched Zhao Yuan's cheek, and there was a hint of doting in her cloudy eyes.

"Hey, look, you remember the pillar again......" the old man shook his head.

"He looks too similar to the pillar...... "The old woman is already in tears, and the young woman behind her is also in tears.

"Let's think about it first. The old man looked at the young woman with tears streaming down his face and sighed.

The three of them discussed for a while, and finally reached an agreement with Zhao Yuan not to denounce him, but they had to stay and help them work at home.

Of course, after everyone decided, Zhao Yuan understood the ins and outs of the matter, it turned out that there was originally a young and strong man in this family, nicknamed Zhuzi, who went to sea to fish before February, encountered a tornado, and died in the belly of the fish, the haggard young woman was the wife of the pillar, and the teenage child was the son of the pillar.

What the two old men mean is that the daughter-in-law is still young and can't stay alive and widowed, so it is not a good thing to leave Zhao Yuan behind.

It didn't take long for Zhao Yuan to get to know the family.

This is a family that borders on abject poverty.

While the pillar was still there, the family was barely able to survive, but it was also happy, but since the pillar died, the family was on the verge of collapse.

This night, the two old men were chattering about the work for their daughter-in-law, and after the last day, the daughter-in-law gave in and silently stayed with Zhao Yuan.

Looking at the haggard but still charming face under the light, Zhao Yuan secretly sighed.

This is a hard-working woman, just in such a short time, two old people decided her fate, and even, she didn't have the slightest understanding of Zhao Yuan, such a strange man broke into her life.

"Sleep. The woman extinguished the oil lamp, and her face was blank and without the slightest expression.

"Is the pillar really dead?" Looking at the woman in the dark, Zhao Yuan couldn't bear it.

"Dead. The woman's delicate body shook.

"Are you sure?"

“...... Are you sure. The woman hesitated.

"Perhaps, he is still alive. ”

"......" The woman was silent for a while.

"Otherwise, we'll wait, and if he really can't come back, you can live with me. Zhao Yuan sighed.

"You're a good guy. The woman said softly suddenly.

"No, I'm not a good person. Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly, he was a famous villain in the Great Qin Empire.

"Sleep. ”

"Sleep. ”

The woman slowly put on her clothes again, and lay down in her clothes.

"What's going on on this island?" Zhao Yuan said, the woman didn't sleep.

"They're demonic ......"

In the voice of the woman's hatred, Zhao Yuan had a preliminary understanding of the island.

About thirty years ago, when the woman was not yet born, a group of cultivators came to the island, and at first, the cultivators were quite friendly, exchanging some things for seafood and other things with native fishermen, but in less than half a year, they showed their hideous faces.

The cultivators began to imprison the fishermen and forced them to build a "cemetery", which lasted for half a year.

After that, more and more slaves were transported to the island, and then the fishermen of the island were freed to return home.

Returning home is not a sign of freedom.

When the fishermen return home, they are only a form of slavery, they must hand in a certain amount of seafood every day, and if they fail to do so, they are punished.

As more and more managers on the islands and more and more fish are needed, the fishermen are miserable, getting up early and running around the sea every day, even in the face of natural disasters such as typhoons.

The pillar was buried in the belly of the fish because he went out to sea to fish during the rainstorm.

In fact, in recent years, more and more fishermen have been dying at sea due to bad weather.

"What is the cemetery for? Is it really a cemetery?"
