The strong villagers thought at first that there was some evil person coming. After all, they were in this arid land, and no one would come at all on weekdays. All year round, not one or two people came.
Even if there are those immortals flying around, they are just passing by in the sky. Therefore, in such a village, there are only them except them.
Now suddenly strangers are coming, and their first reaction is to think that there are bandits wandering in the desert.
However, when they saw Li Qiye and Chu Zhu clearly, the strong villagers were stunned for a moment. The Chu Zhu in front of them was beautiful and moving. In the eyes of the strong villagers, he was a figure as beautiful as a fairy. As for Li Qiye, he was ordinary. Tong, at most, he is just a scholar in the outside world.
At first glance, these two people seemed to be a master and a servant, or they just happened to be lost in the desert.
"Where are you from?" Seeing that Li Qiye and Chu Zhu didn't look like evil people, an old man in the village waved his hand and asked the strong villagers to put away the spears in their hands. This was the village chief, with a relaxed expression. I have learned a lot and am no longer so evil.
"Come from far away." At this time, Chu Zhu said softly with a smile.
A beauty like Chu Zhu is like a fairy in this mortal world, especially in a place where birds don't lay eggs.
A peerless beauty appeared in her village, and the people in the village suddenly became much kinder, as if they were specially welcoming outside visitors.
"Are you lost?" At this time, the old village chief was also very kind.
Chu Zhu could not help but secretly look at such a village. She looked at the village carefully, but she could not see any clues. There was nothing worthy of her attention in this village.
It can be said that such a village is as humble as dust in the world. It is in a remote corner and is not worth mentioning at all.
On ordinary days, she would not be able to come to a place like this. This is a barren and weak world.
However, Li Qiye wanted to come here, which made Chu Zhu feel strange. Is there anything different about such a barren small village? What else is special?
Chu Zhu looked carefully, but couldn't see anything. She responded to the old village chief and said, "Yes, the sky is full of yellow sand, and I can't see the direction clearly."
"You actually got lost outside the Pass." Hearing what Chu Zhu said, the old village chief and others couldn't help being shocked, and said: "It's a miracle that you can come back alive from outside the Pass. God bless you, God bless you."
The villagers in the village also looked at Chu Zhu and the others in disbelief. After all, there was a sky full of yellow sand outside the pass. If they got lost there, they would not survive.
At this time, Chu Zhu replied a few words, and her eyes followed Li Qiye.
After Li Qiye arrived, he didn't say anything. He just walked around the weathered rock in the village. Finally, he stood by the well and looked inside. He saw that the well was deep and there was little water.
"You are all out of water." Li Qiye looked at the water in the deep well and couldn't help but smile.
"The guests don't know yet." After hearing what Li Qiye said, the old village chief said hurriedly: "We can only fetch water once every three days. This is a dry land, where is the water?"
"That's right." Li Qiye looked at the well, but his eyes still fell on the weathered rock.
"Is there something wrong?" At this time, Chu Zhu also looked carefully at the weathered rock.
In fact, this piece of weathered rock was very large and looked like a mound. However, Chu Zhu looked carefully and saw that there was nothing special about it and he couldn't tell why it was there.
Chu Zhu herself was very powerful. Even if she scanned with her spiritual consciousness, she couldn't find anything, which made her feel strange in her heart.
This place is just a barren small village. There is nothing worth paying attention to. Why would Li Qiye come here specially?
"The guest is lost and wants to go to the city. I'm afraid it will take a few days to get into the house and rest." Seeing that Chu Zhu and Li Qiye were not bad people and it was rare to have guests in the village, the old village chief invited Li Qiye and the others to sit in the house.
"Okay -" Li Qiye couldn't help but smile and agreed. The old village chief and the others warmly invited Li Qiye and the others into the house.
Li Qiye and the other two outsiders, especially a fairy-like beauty like Chu Zhu, attracted everyone in the village to watch. Women, children and the elderly in the village came to watch.
To the children in the village, Li Qiye was ordinary and nothing. But when they saw Chu Zhu, they were amazed. When they looked at Chu Zhu with timid eyes, they couldn't help but marvel.
The village chief's little mud house was actually very simple and there was nothing worth seeing. However, the old village chief still warmly invited them to come and sit in the house, and even poured a glass of wine for Li Qiye and the two of them. Tea.
"This is the unique Buji tea in our village. Please try it." The old village chief greeted warmly.
For such a small village, water is a very precious thing, and now they are treating Li Qiye and Chu Zhu with their own special tea, which is very enthusiastic.
Li Qiye took a sip, smiled, and said nothing. Of course, for a being like Chu Zhu, how could she eat such a thing in the mortal world, not to mention that it was not delicious.
At this time, Li Qiye said nothing and looked at a portrait hanging in front of the Tuwu Hall.
This portrait is very old and far away. It has yellowed and curled edges. The person in the portrait can hardly be seen clearly. However, you can still vaguely see a middle-aged man, one who looks a little refined. A middle-aged man, his eyes seem to be very deep.
Other than that, there is nothing special. If anything, there is a shrine under this painting.
Ordinary shrines enshrine some god or person, but this shrine looks like a small ancient city. Faintly, it seems that there is a statue of someone in the shrine, but the difference is not clear. , seems very vague, like I don’t know what it is.
"Who is this?" Chu Zhu was also curious as to why Li Qiye looked at this thing.
After all, in the mortal world, it is normal for some homes to enshrine portraits or other things of their ancestors.
"The legend is that it is our ancestor, Song Haogong." The old village chief couldn't help but hesitated and said.
"What is the legend?" When Chu Zhu heard this, something went wrong.
"Our village not only has the surname Song, but also has the surname Yin, Bai, and several other big surnames." The old village chief hesitated and said slowly.
"Song Haogong is one of the ancestors of our village." At this time, an old villager said: "Of course, we have never seen him, and there is no record of him."
"He lived a long time." Li Qiye glanced at the man in the portrait and said calmly.
"Legend has it that we, Mr. Hao, are immortals." The old village chief couldn't help but said proudly. Perhaps, in such a barren world, there is nothing left to talk about, only the distant memories of their ancestors. Legend has only a little something to talk about.
Therefore, when talking about the distant sages, the old village chief couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Immortal?" Chu Zhu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the old village chief's words.
"Yes." At this time, the old village chief bowed to the person in the portrait and said, "It is rumored that our ancestor Hao Gong can fly into the sky like the legendary immortal. He can summon people Sky Fire, there are rumors that our ancestor Hao Gong had a fairy fire insect."
"Immortal Fire Insect——" Chu Zhu was a little curious when he heard such words: "What is it like?"
"Legend has it that a fire fairy is transformed into fire, and it can suddenly turn into a fire-like world, so big and big." The old village chief said, "There is even a legend that such a fire fairy can make a legendary world. The elixir in it can make people live forever. It is precisely because of this that our ancestor Hao Gong can live for a long, long time. Legend has it that it lasts for millions of years."
"Maybe even tens of millions of years." Another old villager interrupted and said: "We don't just have our ancestor Haogong, our ancestor named Yin is said to be a god who came to the world, tens of millions of feet tall, and can kill the most terrifying monster. .”
"Yes, our ancestor Bai Gong was also very powerful." Another old woman also nodded and said: "Legend has it that at the beginning of the world, a flood submerged the entire world, and terrifying monsters came from the flood. Our ancestor Bai Gong was as tall as a heavenly Buddha. When he stood there, the water could only reach his ankles. With a sword in his hand, dozens of big monsters were stabbed to death at once."
"Our ancestors were legendary ancient immortals, but they just moved here..."
For the extremely poor villagers, their lives have long been imprisoned here. They have lived in this extremely desolate desert for generations. Apart from digging for food and water, they can only look at the sky at night. On the stars.
For generations, they have been so poor, so deserted, and the ancient wells are not stable.
Only when they occasionally mentioned some fairy tales of their ancestors, would they feel a little bit excited and a little bit proud.
Because their ancestors were legendary immortals, extremely powerful and unimaginably tall.
At this time, it is the only thing they are proud of, and it is also something that allows them to use their imagination and imagine how powerful their ancestors are.
This is their only dream for generations, and it is also the comfort they can get out of this barren world for a short time.
Hearing what the old woman in the village said, Chu Zhu couldn't help but look at Li Qiye.
At this time, Chu Zhu felt that these words were different.
