Chapter 342: Can't Get Out
Zhang Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, rescue? As soon as she stretched out her hand, a strong surge surged away, and she lifted the old man up at once.
The old man was vigorously held up, stunned for a moment, and even more excited: "The fairy has arrived, the fairy has arrived, we have been saved!" ”
Hearing the shouts of the old man, almost all the doors of the courtyard gate in the whole village were opened, and there were old and young people standing in the door, all of them with excited faces, but they were all just standing in the courtyard, looking at Zhang Xiaohan in awe.
The divine sense passed by, and the small mountain village was only a dozen families, it was really small, they were all ordinary mortals, but they didn't know what trouble these ordinary people were encountering?
Zhang Xiaohan still smiled: "Old man, I see that your mountain village is very peaceful, but I don't know what trouble there will be?" ”
The old man was so excited that his beard trembled a little, and he looked at Zhang Xiaohan with longing: "Please come to my house to sit and rest for a while, and let the old man tell the fairy." ”
Zhang Xiaohan was very strange in his heart, so he nodded and agreed.
Zhang Xiaohan was reluctant to enter the room, just because his divine sense swept over, and he felt that the room was a little narrow - it was okay to go in by himself, but the big bird was so big that he was a little aggrieved when he entered the room.
The old man didn't dare to disobey Zhang Xiaohan's intentions, and hurriedly beckoned his family, and a pair of middle-aged men and women moved tables and chairs to make a pot of good tea.
Zhang Xiaohan was used to eating things with aura, and he was not interested in mortal food, so he sat down and said politely: "Old man, may I ask you for your longevity." ”
Zhang Xiaohan didn't let the old man sit down too, she knew the difference between immortal cultivators and mortals, in the eyes of mortals. The immortal cultivator is high, he is the existence of admiration, if you invite the old man to sit down, he will be uncomfortable.
The old man stood respectfully in front of Zhang Xiaohan and said, "Fairy." The old man has grown up for seventy-three years, and has been the head of this village since he was thirty years old. ”
The old man saw that Zhang Xiaohan had an extraordinary temperament, and there was a big bird with an extremely arrogant personality by his side, and he was extremely trusting. Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohan to ask, he told it one by one.
I can't tell you how long this small mountain village has been in storage, and the population has not been prosperous, but it is peaceful surrounded by mountains.
Ten years ago, however, something strange seemed to have happened in the village, and one day, the entire village had slept all night after day before waking up.
After sleeping for an extra day and night, the villagers were not aware at all, in the hearts of the villagers who rested at sunset and sunrise. There is no concept of a calendar at all. Wake up early in the morning. Life is still the same, it is the burning and extinguishing of the incense in the ancestral hall that makes the villagers find a difference.
For more than 100 years. The incense in the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors has never been extinguished, but on this day. The incense has been extinguished for a long time, and even the clear oil of the Changming lamp has been consumed a lot more than before, and in the future, because nothing strange happened in the village, everyone is just strange about this time.
There had never been such a strange thing in the small mountain village, and everyone immediately had doubts and suspicions, and before they could figure out the ins and outs of the matter, something unusual happened in the village.
Although this mountain village is secluded, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the villagers rely on hunting and planting a few acres of thin fields to live.
A few days later, the villagers finally discovered an unusual scene, that is, there was no way out of the area outside the village.
The village's feng shui seems to have changed, the production of farmland has begun to decrease, and the number of prey has decreased.
The villagers are frightened, if they can't get out, they will be trapped in this mountain village forever, and the villagers don't want to go out and get in touch with the outside world, but what about the next generation?
To reproduce offspring, the village is not big, there are not many farmers, and they have been intermarrying with the small mountain villages outside, if they are closed, they can only marry each other, everyone is a surname, there are different relatives inside and outside, intermarriage with the same clan is a taboo, for a long time, this village is not going to have a new Ding appear, cut off children and grandchildren?
When the village chief talked about this, he couldn't help but cry, thinking of the sorrow of the young people in the village, thinking that this village would no longer exist in the future, and couldn't help but kneel down to Zhang Xiaohan again: "Ask the fairy to save us." ”
After listening to the old man's speech, Zhang Xiaohan became strange, judging from the content of the old man's speech, this place was clearly set up with some kind of formation, and the formation covered up the existence of the mountain village.
But I walked all the way, and I did walk over instead of flying, and I didn't find any formations.
Zhang Xiaohan groaned for a moment, and his divine sense was released, enveloping the entire small mountain village. The villagers quietly gathered in a small clearing in the village at some point, and there were very few people, especially the children, who all looked quietly in their direction, with anticipation and longing.
The divine sense was released again, and it was not found anything abnormal until the surrounding mountains, Zhang Xiaohan believed that if there was a formation, she would definitely find out.
Could it be that the formation is useless for immortal cultivators, only for mortals? Zhang Xiaohan thought for a moment and said, "Old man, you can send the middle-aged people in the village to go out for a walk again, and try to see if you can go out." ”
The old man immediately agreed, and immediately beckoned his own middle-aged man to go out, as if this matter was extremely familiar, Zhang Xiaohan's divine sense has been following, and when he saw the old man's arrangement, soon all the middle-aged men in the village took action, in groups of two, in four directions.
"Qinglan, have you noticed anything strange?" Mackerel can't stay out of the water for too long, so most of the time it's in a nasu bottle.
The big bird thought for a while and said: "I didn't find it, from what this old man said, it is clear that one day someone is going to do something here, and I don't want them to find out, so I just let them sleep for an extra day, presumably there will be no notice if there is a day less, but I just ignore the ancestral hall of the mountain people." ”
Zhang Xiaohan nodded and praised: "Qinglan, you have not been in contact with me for a long time, you have understood the social structure of human beings so quickly, and even the ancestral hall has understood, when will you be able to transform into a human form, I dare to guarantee that if you turn into a human form, no one will know that you are a demon beast." ”
The big bird rolled his eyes at Zhang Xiaohan, but he had to admit that Zhang Xiaohan was right, they went all the way, and what they told each other the most was the society they once lived in, compared to the monsters, the human society is much more exciting, Zhang Xiaohan's eloquence is excellent, and he understands a lot - it doesn't matter if it's the past life or the present life, anyway, the content of what he said is very good.
It made the big bird and the mackerel look forward to when they would be able to transform into human form and live a good life in human society.
Zhang Xiaohan naturally understood the big bird's thoughts, and he didn't say anything, and then said: "I don't think the old man's account is exaggerated, for the immortals, he hasn't seen much, you see his attitude and the attitude of those mountain people, quite respectful and far away, I thought they should be so scared that they trembled and threw themselves to the ground." ”
Half a joke, she really doesn't know much about the customs and habits of this world, and the relationship between mortals and immortals has been seen in Wangyue City, and it seems that they are all respectful.
"That's true, that old man seems to have seen the world." Big Bird asserted.
Zhang Xiaohan nodded, his divine sense was still shrouded in the young people who set off, they were moving fast, walking along the sheep intestine path in the mountains, and they were all holding weapons such as knives, forks and sticks, presumably a habit of hunting.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohan and the big bird said "huh" at the same time, the direction of these young people is getting stranger and stranger, obviously there is a mountain road leading directly to the mountain, but they don't seem to see the road in front of them, and suddenly they walked to the rocks where there was no road, but their steps are still vigorous, like stepping on a stable path.
Zhang Xiaohan and the big bird glanced at each other, quite strange, such a rugged path, he would not walk so steadily, it was clear that in the eyes of the mountain people, this was a path that was often walked.
The night in the mountains fell quickly, and when it was completely dark, all eight middle-aged men returned to the village, and disappointment and melancholy enveloped everyone, Zhang Xiaohan and Big Bird slowly stood up, and when the mountain people returned to the clearing, they also arrived in the clearing.
"Let's rest first." At the old man's signal, the mountain people dispersed, and only the old man stood respectfully in front of her.
"Old man, you can rest too." Zhang Xiaohan said kindly.
The surroundings were quiet, only the quiet night, Zhang Xiaohan suddenly laughed: "Big Bird, speaking of age, my age in this life is only more than twenty, but in the face of the old man just now, do you know how I describe my attitude?" My attitude towards the elderly? ”
The big bird glanced at Zhang Xiaohan: "You humans are really strange, you are not in a hurry to see the problems of this village, but you are entangled in your attitude, aren't you arrogant, the arrogance of monks in the face of mortals." ”
Zhang Xiaohan shook his head and said with a smile: "You are arrogant, you think about my tone just now, I am clearly kind, only the attitude that the superior will use for people who are lower than himself, hehe, kind." ”
The big bird tilted his head and thought for a while: "Why did you think of this, for mortals, you monks have the power of life and death, and you don't have to worry about any attitude at all." ”
Zhang Xiaohan nodded and said: "I just thought about it, strength determines a person's status, in the final analysis, whether it is a monk or a mortal, they are all human, but because of strength, I can use a kind attitude towards an old man as a young monk." ”
She couldn't help but shake her head as she spoke, this feeling of being high above was something she had never had, no matter in her past or present life, she enjoyed it a little.
"Alright, let's go and see, what's on that strange path? Qinglan, do you think anything interesting will happen? ”
said that it was interesting, but in his heart he was vigilant, and the life in the Demon Beast Forest for most of the year made Zhang Xiaohan learn to be cautious.
