Chapter 5: Old Things
Day 2.
Mu Yan didn't look at the rest of the parchment scroll first, because the leader wanted to inform the beast tide of the arrangement, she packed up and came to the leader's door. When she came, most of the people had gathered, and there was a lot of discussion. In a few moments, everyone arrived.
"Good day, Chief." Seeing the leader walk out, the villagers saluted.
"Rise up, folks." He let out a long sigh and said in a solemn tone, "I have decided to move my clan out of the Wraith Forest at the end of the month before the Spring Beast Tide arrives. I know you'll be dissatisfied, but you can't, after all, the beast tide is coming, and there is no immortal family to protect us this time. ”
The villagers present talked a lot, but they didn't refute it, after all, they also knew that no outsiders had come here for so long.
Some people at the scene also asked Mu Yan if she was a disciple of the Immortal Family from the outside world, and Mu Yan said that she didn't remember, she was picked up and lost her memory.
Mu Yan returned to his stone house and didn't rush to pack his things, he didn't have much of his things in the past six months. Instead, he looked at the rest of the parchment first.
After reading all the parchment scrolls, Mu Yan knew that the beast tide would break through the formation because the original formation was the work of a high-level formation mage, but the use of low-grade spirit stones could only last for a hundred years, and when it was approaching a hundred years, the effect of the formation was weakened, so it could already be broken through by a demon beast with a little cultivation.
There is also the fact that the existing clansmen are just ordinary people who have no cultivation, and those who have cultivated at the beginning have either left first or died in the original battle after the trail was leaked.
————
Isolated from the world in this forest of ghosts, the silence around you can't be said at this moment, and there is a vigorous battle going on at this time.
The white-haired and black-clothed young woman was covered in blood, holding a broken sword, and every time she bounced and fell, she left clear traces of blood all over the ground, and the people around her were in similar condition. You can see how tragic the battle was. Behind the woman was the corpse of her Taoist companion, and no one could get close, thinking it was also due to the woman's protection.
"Wen Fei, hand over the treasures, don't be ignorant." The object of the fight with the woman shouted at the woman.
"Heh, Zhang Lixuan, you ungrateful, we rescued you from the ghost mouth, but I didn't expect you to have something to do with him, and you actually brought people to attack. Aren't you afraid of the original demon oath? The woman clenched the sword in her hand and asked with a look of disdain on her face.
"He'll take care of it for me, don't worry." The man's offensive in his hand was unabated, and he said arrogantly: "You obediently hand over the treasure and go back with me, I will beg him to spare you for the sake of saving my life." ”
"Dreaming." The corner of the woman's mouth suddenly showed a weird smile, killing her Taoist companion and letting herself offer the treasure, these people think so beautifully, how can they let them succeed.
However, the man wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and when they hunted her, she thought of this unexpected trick to expose her spiritual root, and wanted to drag everyone to die together.
Her unprepared move, none of the people present survived.
All of this was recorded by a playful child who ran to the Forest of Spirits to witness what happened. The ordinary people in this village didn't know anything about this battle, only that they didn't know why the immortals who sheltered the village were gone.
But they regarded this as their home, and they didn't think about leaving, at first they were also like the outside world, but after losing the immortals, they had to go out hunting by themselves, and the Mai was easily damaged and replaced with animal skins, and the wooden house was built after the last beast tide was destroyed, and they felt that the stone house was more resistant to wild beasts.
Mu Yan still has a lot of questions, and she plans to ask the leader and return these parchment rolls by the way.
Knocking on the leader, after the leader came out, he watched Mu Yan come back the parchment roll and let Mu Yan enter the house. After Mu Yan returned, he stood still and thought about it.
"Chief, why did those immortal cultivators come to exchange materials every six months, as far as I know, there is nothing they can see in the village." Mu Yan's face showed doubt, and his voice was hoarse.
"You can talk!" The leader's face was stunned, and instead of answering Mu Yan's question, he asked in astonishment, "Why are you hiding it?" ”
"I hurt my throat at the beginning." Mu Yan quietly explained, "It has just been raised. ”
When the leader heard Mu Yan's answer, his face was suspicious, and seeing that his hoarse voice did not dwell too much, he answered Mu Yan's question, "Those people, some of them are the descendants of the immortal family who died in the first battle, to collect the bones, and some are people who are not dead and want to come to find treasures, since they often come, I will use the silver mines in the village to trade with them, and we will mine the silver mines to exchange some materials with them." ”
"I see, did they find the treasure? Since they often come, why don't you exchange some spirit stones with them to repair the formation? Mu Yan threw out all his questions.
"I don't know, maybe they didn't come here, maybe they gave up, or maybe they found it. Or maybe it's because last time the beast tide held a grudge against the village and wanted us to fend for ourselves. I didn't exchange the spirit stone with them because we couldn't afford it, and the spirit stone was also a good thing outside. The second is that we can't repair the formation, the formation is established by a high-level formation mage, and it is difficult for ordinary formation mages to repair. The leader finished answering Mu Yan's question.
Mu Yan didn't throw out more doubts, but pressed them in her heart, because she knew that the leader of his question would not answer her, but would arouse the leader's jealousy.
Mu Yan returned to the room and pondered his doubts from the known answers, to no avail. She decided to practice the Enlightenment Technique.
According to the exercises, she communicated with the aura of heaven and earth by herself, and the feeling of suddenly being peeped at came again, and in the past half a year, she thought that the other party was not paying attention to her, and she had disappeared, and the moment Mu Yan communicated with the aura of heaven and earth came again. Mu Yan was uncertain and spit out a mouthful of blood, which was the backlash of running the exercises on a business trip.
"Who the hell are you? What is the purpose? Mu Yan didn't care about her situation first, she hated the feeling of being spied on.
"Someone calls me Heavenly Dao, and you call me. You seem to be ......" The other party's last sentence was very soft, and Mu Yan didn't hear it clearly, and before Mu Yan asked again, the other party seemed to have encountered something, and the voice disappeared immediately.
Mu Yan pondered deeply, what the other party was going to say in the last sentence. Mu Yan whispered, "Is the Heavenly Dao of this world ......?"
Now that he knew who the other party was, and the other party didn't continue, Mu Yan continued to practice the exercises.
Communicate the aura of heaven and earth, wash the marrow and bones with the aura and open up their own meridians, Mu Yan found that she is not the same as what is said in the exercise, the exercise says that it takes time to open up the meridians with the aura, and swim in it, during which you need to endure the unbearable pain of ordinary people, and then let the aura swim and develop the same habit as breathing.
Mu Yan felt that he was different, he didn't need to open up his own meridians, and when the aura entered the body, he spontaneously wandered and operated in the meridians according to the trajectory of the exercises. Like a common habit, Mu Yan tried to do something else, and found that the exercises were working as usual, and his body had already formed a habit.
She guessed that she had been a cultivator, and the aura she absorbed from the outside world was stored in the dantian for a while, and she felt that she was about to build a foundation, and only after completing the foundation could she completely embark on the road of cultivating immortals.
