Qingmu Town is not big. For decades, the faces that have settled in this town have basically not changed. The neighbors, people farming, fishing, hunting, and doing business are all the same faces. Over time, everything in Qingmu Town has changed. It is clear which people are there, which ones are locals and which ones are outsiders. Locals can always easily recognize locals without having to think about them.
Moreover, Qingmu Town is connected to the boundless woods to the south and is not a transportation hub. Even if it is an outsider, the possibility of passing through such a place is very low.
The strange thing is that such a place actually has a big inn - the Aoki Inn.
The Qingmu Inn seems to have been operating for as many years as Qingmu Town has existed. It is the only place in Qingmu Town where outsiders can be seen coming in and out. There are people coming and going in front of the Qingmu Inn, but the strange thing is that even if the Qingmu Inn is In this Qingmu Town, the residents of Qingmu Town have never met any of the guests who come to and from the Qingmu Inn. They can only see people coming in and out of the Qingmu Inn from time to time, and then those people seem to disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace. Can be followed.
It wasn't until not long ago that I found out that the Qingmu Inn had a good background and that the Xian family had influence behind it.
Knowing this, the residents of Qingmu Town suddenly became cautious. In the past, they passed by the Qingmu Inn in a carefree and noisy manner. Some people even entered the inn from time to time to sightsee and look for people, but now there is no one. Dare to do this, when passing by the Aoki Inn, everyone was in awe, and even walked past with a little timidity.
It was as if the Qingmu Inn could not see anything, and there was nothing unusual about it. It was how it was before, it is still how it is now, and it will be like this in the future. However, the residents of Qingmu Town can no longer face it with the previous attitude. .
In fact, after that disaster and some time later, the cultivators of Xuanmumen suddenly conducted a thorough investigation of the existing residents of Qingmu Town and recorded the information of the local residents.
Immortal cultivators have always been aloof and ignored mortals like them. Xuanmumen suddenly did such a thing uncharacteristically. The residents of Qingmu Town couldn't help but pay attention. Facing those aloof immortal masters, they already had awe in their bones. The boundless woods were frightened, and their lives depended on the immortal cultivators of Xuanmumen, so they all cooperated, but there was an additional episode.
Although I don’t know what the purpose of Xuanmumen’s recording of local residents’ information was, everyone knew that it was not a good thing after several outsiders were taken away by Xuanmumen cultivators and never returned. However, Zhang Dashan didn’t know what to do at that time. A young man was brought back somewhere. The young man was dying when he was brought back. He was put in a bamboo basket by Zhang Dashan and brought back with the herbs.
Regardless of his own safety, Zhang Dashan helped the residents of Qingmu Town and went into the boundless woods to collect medicine for the old miracle doctor Xu. This action won the gratitude of the residents. Therefore, when Zhang Dashan brought the boy back, everyone came to help, but Before they could see the young man, Xuanmumen began to check the household registration.
Qingmu Town is a small and remote place. The people living here are a group of ordinary people who have never seen much of the world. The population is sparse and there are few talents suitable for cultivating immortals. Therefore, even though Xuanmumen is not far from Qingmu Town, there is no way to live there on weekdays. I don’t take this kind of place seriously. The locals have the final say on who is a small town resident and who is not.
The young man was left alone like this. When he woke up, the residents knew his name was Qingfeng.
After that, Qingfeng lived with Zhang Dashan, and often went into the woods with Zhang Dashan to collect herbs. Each time, he harvested a lot of money. I don’t know whether Zhang Dashan is getting better and better at collecting herbs, or whether Qingfeng is really good at collecting herbs. It is Zhang Dashan’s lucky star.
Thanks to those two people, old miracle doctor Xu's shop has a constant supply of medicinal materials, and they no longer need to worry about injuries. After that, Zhang Dashan went from going into the woods to collect medicine every day and often finding nothing, to now half a I only need to go into the forest once every few months, and the changes are really obvious.
It seemed that there was no danger in the boundless woods anymore. Also because of Zhang Dashan and Qingfeng, people gradually began to try to enter the woods. Slowly, Qingmu Town began to return to its previous life.
People from Xuanmumen still appear in Qingmu Town from time to time to conduct population checks, and people often come in and out of the woods. If this happens more often, people will naturally pay attention to it.
An older man came over and said to Qingfeng: "When you get to the forest, remember not to be too pushy. When you meet the immortal master, lower your head and don't talk to them. Leave everything to the mountain to handle."
Qingfeng nodded.
Someone pulled the older man and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, as long as it's over, you say these words every time Qingfeng enters the forest."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled knowingly, looking happy.
Qingfeng likes this feeling very much.
Ever since he was sensible, he has been silently following loneliness. There was no one around him to chat or make noise with. He grew up in the quiet Qingzhi Forest. If Gu Chen and Yang Chan hadn't intruded and the three of them had become friends, Qingfeng couldn't imagine that he could live such a life now.
When he woke up, he was still wary of Zhang Dashan, but in some chat clips, he learned that Zhang Dashan and Gu Chen knew each other. With his trust in Gu Chen, Qingfeng stayed. As time went by, , and gradually opened up to the people around me.
Just like everyone knew that his identity was suspicious and that he was not a resident of Qingmu Town, but they were still willing to hide it from the immortal cultivators for his sake, Qingfeng felt this rare warmth in his heart and wanted to cherish it all.
But obviously the immortal cultivators at Xuanmumen have not let him go yet. Those cultivators who travel between Qingmu Town and the boundless woods from time to time are not so much guarding this small town as they are searching for him. , and as time passed, those cultivators still came and went from time to time, Qingfeng was even more certain of this.
Qingfeng felt that the people in Xuanmumen might have mastered some means to know his location, but that method had limitations. The location they knew could only be approximate, so they had been unable to lock his location, but Qingfeng became more and more aware of his location. Be more and more vigilant, otherwise it will be a matter of time before someone from Xuanmumen finds you.
The residents of Aoki Town can help him hide it, but he doesn't know how long this concealment can last. It's not that Qingfeng doesn't trust the residents of Aoki Town, it's just that many of the memories he inherited were caused by the Blue Elf. Human beings betrayed and encountered several crises, and those histories made him dare not fail to guard against them.
After leaving Qingzhimen, the only people in this world that he could trust were Gu Chen and the good people related to Gu Chen. Apart from that, he didn't trust anyone else, because Gu Chen was his first friend. Out of trust and affinity for Gu Chen, he was allowed to give away the blue rune that had accumulated ten years of vitality.
The Green Rune is hidden deep in Gu Chen's body, and it is difficult to detect it with ordinary immortal methods. A mere ten years of vitality is nothing to an immortal cultivator, but to Gu Chen, who is currently weak in cultivation, it is absolutely It is a priceless treasure, a rune that contains ten years of vitality accumulated by the Blue Elf. It will be the key to Gu Chen's rebirth at a critical moment.
Gu Chen himself cannot trigger the Green Rune. This rune will only trigger on its own when Gu Chen's life is in danger. Once triggered, Qingfeng, the creator of the rune, will feel it.
He knew that when the Green Rune was touched, it was also the time when Gu Chen encountered the biggest crisis in history, and he was very worried about Gu Chen's safety.
It stands to reason that since there is a blue rune, at least Gu Chen's life can be saved, but if Gu Chen encounters a life and death crisis, the situation will not be good. The powerful vitality of the blue rune can allow Gu Chen to survive. It recovered in a short time, but what next?
The Green Rune, which only has ten years of life, can save Gu Chen once, but it cannot save him a second time. What can he do if Gu Chen narrowly escapes death and is involved in the same crisis again?
