The sun was setting in the west, and it was almost dusk at this moment.
The whistling mountain wind blew through the towering cliffs, making a miserable sound.
This remote village shrouded in bamboo forest looks no different from other villages in the pass. It has white walls and black tiles, and the square corners of the beams and eaves are tilted upward, giving it quite the charm of a classical pavilion.
Xu Feng looked at a steep cliff behind Sangzi Village in the distance. The top section of the cliff was almost vertical, as if it were being chopped with a knife or an axe.
His expression suddenly became solemn, and he pointed at the towering cliff and said, "Do you know why the ray of sky between the two mountains is called Qingyun Realm?"
Xu Ziyi shook his head slightly, not knowing why, and looked at Xu Feng with a blank expression. He didn't understand why the famous and respected Xu Daxia in front of him always seemed mysterious and melancholy. He has become famous in the world, does he still have some unresolved knots?
Xu Feng looked melancholy and said quietly: "Look, between these two cliffs, you can only see a ray of sky, so this canyon is called a ray of sky! The huge stone pit behind the ray of sky is surrounded by cliffs on all sides Close to the wall, the bottom of the cliff often emits eerie and strange laughter. Especially on rainy days, the strange laughter becomes even more shrill and makes people's scalp numb. Legend has it that there is a reclusive person living in the unfathomable stone pit. Master, that strange laughter came from his mouth." Xu Feng raised his head and looked at the ray of sky, and then said: "As for why the master chose such a place to escape from the world and practice hard, but he had no choice but to You know. Later, the master developed an extremely light skill and could walk on the cliff as easily as walking on flat ground. It was also easy for him to leave the stone pit, but he was willing to be trapped in it for the rest of his life. Hi, this one It’s just a legend, who knows if it’s true or false?”
Xu Ziyi nodded as if he understood, then frowned and asked: "There are too many weird people and strange things in this world! Wouldn't it be very depressing if a person stayed in such a place alone? I don't think that pit or a cage is nothing. Both. Since that expert has already mastered the ultimate lightness kung fu, why is he still standing there?" The more he thought about it, the more incredible it became.
Xu Feng waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "There are many strange people and strange things in the world. Their thinking and martial arts are different from ordinary people. No one can guess the reason except themselves. Maybe something happened to him. A story that is not understood by others?" He paused and then said, "That deep pit is the real Qingyun Realm. The mysterious senior master carved these three words on the cliff. From then on, the name Qingyun Realm spread. Come down."
Xu Ziyi's eyes lit up and he nodded frequently. He seemed to be attracted by this almost mythical story. He thought about it and couldn't help but ask: "What happened to that worldly master later?"
Xu Feng smiled faintly and sighed: "Some people say that the reason why he stayed in it was because he was trapped by love. It is said that when he was young, he fell deeply in love with a woman, and that woman happened to be the daughter of his enemy. He After learning the truth, it was like a thunderbolt, and she told the fact to the woman she loved deeply. The woman was in a dilemma, one side was her close relative, the other side was her beloved. She had no choice, and was in every kind of pain, so after much thought, she had no choice but to leave. , and disappeared from sight. The young man searched everywhere, came to this place, and asked the villagers. The villagers said that a woman jumped from this dangerous cliff not long ago. The villagers described the woman's facial features to him, and he concluded that she jumped from the cliff. The woman was the sweetheart he was looking for! The cliff was unfathomable, and it was completely white below. He could not see anything. He could only lie on the top of the cliff, look down and shout, letting his shouts shake the surrounding area and make him hoarse. The only response to him was The mountains were silent. How could he have any chance of surviving after jumping from this 100-foot cliff? Seeing how pitiful he was, the villagers persuaded him to leave Jiemei, but unexpectedly, he actually jumped and jumped off the cliff. Everyone thought he would die. Undoubtedly, he miraculously survived. He was unconscious under the cliff for a long time. When he woke up, he found the woman's broken body. He was heartbroken and vowed to stay with his beloved woman here. I have never left the stone pit since then." His voice seemed very calm, but full of deep desolation and sorrow.
Xu Ziyi listened quietly, seemingly entranced. After a long time, he said: "There is such an infatuated man in the world! Could it be that he has really lived under this cliff for decades? Is there such a thing at the bottom of the cliff? How could he survive with so many poisonous insects and snakes? This is really amazing!" He murmured
As he murmured, he seemed to be longing for that wonderful and touching love that lasts until death.
The two rested for a while at the entrance of the village. Xu Ziyi led Xu Feng from the official road outside the village. When the two of them passed by the entrance of the village on horseback, several people appeared at the entrance of the village, a few men with hungry faces and women with dull eyes. They were wearing plain cloth. The gown looked outside. Seeing the two groups of people approaching, their faces were full of surprise and curiosity, as if this isolated village rarely had strangers coming to it. There was a timid look in their eyes.
Xu Feng glanced at them, quickly looked away, and asked Xu Ziyi in a low voice: "Are these people residents of the village?"
Xu Ziyi nodded slowly and replied in a low voice: "Well, it is said that the people in the village have a magical magic. As long as you look at them at close range, you can control people's minds silently. Master Xu, millions of people Don't stare at them!" He said, his pupils contracted slightly, seeming a little nervous and fearful.
After hearing this, Xu Feng smiled slightly and said quietly: "Do you believe there is such a magic in the world?" He glanced at the people over there: "They look like just a few ordinary villagers!"
Xu Ziyi frowned and said, "But this kind of thing has been widely spread among the people. My master also told me not to enter this village. Any outsider who breaks into the village for no reason will be in trouble. In the past ten years, some unsuspecting foreigners have Travelers came to stay in the village, and almost all of them died there. But the villagers in the village were honest farmers as timid as mice. How could they commit murder? As for why those who went in did not survive. Come out? What happened in the village? But it has become an unsolvable mystery. This matter has been widely circulated. Some brave people went to investigate, but they all died. So, some people from outside Rumor has it that this village is a ****, and the villagers inside are all evil spirits. During the day, they turn into ordinary people to confuse all living beings. There is no return." After he told this mysterious and terrifying story, his face suddenly turned pale, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he was watching the people at the entrance of the village turn into ferocious ghosts!
Xu Feng couldn't help but slowly turned his head and glanced at the few people at the entrance of the village. Seeing this, Xu Ziyi quickly stopped him: "Xu Daxia, you must not look again!" There was deep fear in his eyes.
Xu Feng remained calm and said something meaningful: "Do you really believe there are ghosts in this world?"
Xu Ziyi had regained his nervousness and said sheepishly: "Of course I don't believe in ghosts, but there are so many people who never came out! How could they all disappear out of thin air? There is only one answer, they are all dead. Die inside! But who killed them? They were a group of strangers, and they had no hatred at all. Who would kill a stranger for no reason? "
Xu Feng's expression suddenly became solemn. He stared at Xu Ziyi and said slowly: "Who did you hear about this?"
Xu Ziyi recalled: "In recent years, this story has been circulating in the martial arts community in northern Shaanxi. Families of missing persons once came to Sangzi Village to look for their relatives, but after entering the village, all of them mysteriously disappeared without exception. People within a radius of ten miles away The people have regarded this strange village as a restricted area. From now on, no one dares to go near the village. People in the village no longer interact with people outside, so when they see strangers at the entrance of the village, they will show timidity. Due to the complete isolation from the outside world, the villagers can only help each other to survive. It is said that some people have fallen ill and died one after another in recent years, and there are not many people left in the village." He did not directly answer Xu Feng's question. Question, it seems that he is just hearing about it. No one knew whether such a bizarre thing was true or false, but when it came out of his mouth, it was really creepy.
