"Of course I am gifted with supernatural powers, but now I just want to know how to leave." Nan Yi turned his gaze away and suddenly asked, "By the way, where did you hear the rumors about the spiritual realm?"
"There are rumors spread by some charlatan warlocks." Yan Qingyun restrained his joy, and after realizing that this was not a good place, he recalled, "As for how to leave, it seems that he has to complete the test."
"test?"
As soon as Nan Yi finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing down many leaves and forming a few lines of writing on the ground.
[On the night of April 4th in the first year of Tianqi, the entire Nanruo Village was massacred by strangers. 】
[Now, it seems that you have mistakenly entered the noon of this day. 】
[Please try your best to find the strangers who have sneaked into the village before the gray fog fills the sky, and kill them. 】
[Otherwise, the villagers who were slaughtered to death by the strangers would swear to kill all the strangers even if they died. For example, you who stumbled into this place by mistake? 】
[Note that if you accidentally kill a villager, you will be able to go back in time and start everything over again. But the time when you entered this place by mistake will be delayed by one hour compared to the last time you entered by mistake. 】
The handwriting is not long, only five lines.
But as soon as Nan Yifu finished reading, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
This place is not a good place.
Yan Qingyun also completely suppressed his excitement, frowned and said: "The sky is filled with gray fog, it is midnight at night, and it is noon now, which means that there are only three opportunities for accidental killing at most."
Nan Yi didn't say anything because he was using his "Dong Zhen" talent to analyze what the spiritual realm was.
This world is divided into two realms: Yin and Yang.
In the underworld, evil spirits rule. Occasionally when the yin and yang worlds unexpectedly intersect, if a strange spirit wants to enter the real world, a strange spirit realm will be generated.
The realm of ghosts will continue to erode the real world, and eventually the ghosts will be able to successfully descend into the world. But during this period, monks can also enter the spiritual realm in advance.
In ancient times, when monks entered the spiritual realm, they directly fought with evil spirits.
But "Si Huan" in the fifth month, that is, after Miaojue stopped his thoughts and illuminated Yue Zai's enlightenment, he changed the laws of the spiritual realm and changed the battle in the spiritual realm from a battle of skills to a battle of wits:
The ghosts cannot directly hurt people and can only issue test-type tasks with malicious intent; and after the monks complete the test, they can conquer the spiritual realm, expel the ghosts, and receive spiritual feedback, and even harvest artifacts, awaken supernatural powers, and so on.
Of course, if the monk's strategy fails and his body dies in the spiritual realm, it will also aggravate the influence of the strange spirit realm on the real world.
In addition, "Jiu Sikong", that is, after the Antarctic Juechen Square Cun Yue Zai attained enlightenment, he also changed the rules, allowing the spiritual realm to change from directly eroding the entire area to creating a spiritual realm portal. Only through the portal can one enter the spiritual realm.
Then, the "August Chief Mu", that is, Chi Yun, who holds the title of Shu Wei Ding Yue Zai, preached the Taoism, passed down the law of dragon energy, protected the environment and the people, separated the immortals from the mortal world, restrained the gods and ghosts, and even caused the spiritual realm to gradually disappear and disappear in the mortal world. It has become a strange story with different opinions and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
A newspaper seller wrote:
"Since ancient times, the mountain has been desolate and the spiritual realm is lonely, with few people visiting it."
"The spiritual realm is indescribable, and it's hard to find forgiveness from ghost workers."
However, as mortals have been protected and are no longer easily affected by gods, many mortals have begun to actively pursue the spiritual realm.
After all, once you enter the spiritual realm by mistake, although mortals without spiritual roots will die violently, those with spiritual roots will awaken their innate magical powers and step into the legendary immortal road.
Some people may be really obsessed with spiritual practice and are willing to risk their lives; some may consider themselves to be the sons of destiny, with deep blessings and excellent spiritual roots, and like to run into the wilderness whenever they have nothing to do, hoping to find a spiritual realm and change their fate against the will of heaven.
But if you plant flowers intentionally, they won’t bloom, but if you don’t, you will plant willows to create shade.
Yan Qingyun and Nan Yi had never thought of actively pursuing the spiritual realm. But the large locust tree at the abandoned site of Nanruo Village happened to form a new spiritual realm portal, swallowing up Nan Yi and the two.
The heat is rising, and the dry wind is blowing, blowing away the leaves that formed the writing on the ground. At the same time, Nan Yi, who is dressed according to the January climate, feels a little bit hot.
Seeing the leaves scattering, Yan Qingyun frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively: "In your opinion, is it feasible to directly ask the villagers who is a stranger?"
"It would be great if it could be so simple. But in my opinion, they all said that they were strangers who had sneaked into the village, so they probably couldn't find out directly." Nan Yi tugged on his collar and walked towards the villagers, "But it can also be done Let’s first try to find the villagers and ask about the situation.”
Seeing Nan Yi's calm expression, Yan Qingyun thought to himself that he was not a fool and decided to follow Nan Yi's arrangement first.
"Auntie, where's the stew?"
Nan Yi walked towards the nearest house, an aunt who had glanced at Nan Yi before and seemed to wonder why Nan Yi and the others were here.
The aunt was not used to talking to strangers. Her eyes were evasive and she seemed a little restrained, but she still replied: "I'm stewing dog meat."
Nan Yi glanced around and saw that all the families in the village were stewing something in their own yards.
He asked: "Are all these people stewing dog meat?"
"That's right. It's rare to kill a big dog today, and everyone wants to share some of the meat for stew." The aunt said, looking at the soup pot with a hint of salivation.
Nan Yi also glanced at the soup pot. There was only a piece of meat in the pot, and it was still slightly red. He didn't know how long it would take to stew it.
However, even so, it already smelled like meat, which made Nan Yi couldn't help but sniff it several times, moving his index finger.
"Auntie, this meat..."
Before Nan Yi finished speaking, the aunt immediately changed her face, frowned and said, "What are you doing? I only have this piece of meat, so don't try to snatch it away!"
"Don't rob me, don't rob me. Don't worry, auntie, I'm not here to rob you of your flesh."
"I can't even buy it. I won't sell it to death!"
"Forget it, forget it." Nan Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he changed the question, "Auntie, let me ask, do you know the name of your next door neighbor?"
"Remember, Zhang San, Li Si." The aunt said two names.
"What about the two households further out?"
"I forgot. I'm old and can't remember." Seeing that Nan Yi wanted to continue asking, the aunt said impatiently, "Don't ask. I don't even remember the last names of other family members except for the two families on the left and right."
Nan Yi frowned slightly, but he also felt that it was not that simple to directly ask the names of everyone in the village.
He asked another house, and again he only knew the names of his neighbors.
Nan Yi then ordered Yan Qingyun to go in each direction and ask from house to house.
After completing the round of questioning, the two met and found that in terms of names alone, everyone in the village knew their names, and there was no one who could not be called by their name.
Yan Qingyun spat on the ground and said bitterly: "If you ask me, there is no need to waste time asking around for names. These people are obviously not real people. They only remember their neighbors, and they still keep the same words over and over again. I can't tell you why."
After saying that, Yan Qingyun used the sole of his shoe to crush the phlegm he had just spit on the ground, and said in his heart: "Let's continue and see what Nan Yi has planned."
When he went from house to house to ask the villagers just now, Yan Qingyun did not exactly follow Nan Yi's request and only asked the names of the neighbors in each household.
When he and Nan Yi were at the farthest end of Nanruo Village, Yan Qingyun still couldn't help it and tried to ask the villagers directly: "Which family in the village do you think is the most like a stranger?"
When the villagers heard this, they looked at Yan Qingyun in surprise and said, "Aren't you two strangers?"
