It is recorded in "The Chronicles of Continental Monsters" that Zhaoyao has a human face and a tree body.
He is good at arranging illusions and confusing all living beings.
Likes to eat men's essence.
The village in front of me is called Zhaoyao Village, and it is located in a secret realm that has existed for an unknown period of time. Perhaps it is actually related to this ancient monster that has become extinct.
Although this secret place has only been discovered for half a year, this does not mean that it has only existed for half a year.
Maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years, it's possible.
Just now a villager mentioned the word "outsider". Thinking about it with a big intestine, everyone knows that there is something fishy in this. It is definitely not an ordinary village.
Lin Feng prepared for battle and waited quietly for the village chief whom everyone said to appear.
Soon, the donkey boy ran over dragging a disheveled old man. The old man had white beard and hair, but he walked quickly, which was very inconsistent with his age.
"The village chief is here."
"Hey, why is the village chief barefoot?"
"It must have been confiscated by Widow Wang."
"How did you know?"
"Don't even think about it?"
"..."
The villagers made way for the village chief. He walked over and looked at Lin Feng carefully. His expression turned from a dull expression to a smile, and finally turned to uncontrollable ecstasy.
"Dear outsider, hello! I am the village chief of Zhaoyao Village."
He said, wanting to shake hands with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng also stretched out his hand. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and found that the village chief's middle finger and ring finger were slightly wet. He twitched the corner of his mouth and took his hand back.
The village chief was stunned, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
He coughed slightly and asked, "Can we come to the shabby house to talk for a while?"
"Okay, sir, please go first."
Lin Feng stretched out his hand and followed the village chief to his home.
On the way, the village chief said that his name was Zuo Zhongming, that he was seventy-three years old, that he had a son living in the town, and a daughter who was married to the next village.
Zuo Zhongming was very happy when talking about his children.
But Lin Feng was very surprised. Is it necessary for the village chief to reveal his family situation when they meet? Is it simple and sincere, or is it deliberately creating a persona?
He was secretly vigilant and came to a room in the middle of Zhaoyao Village.
"Outsiders, please come in."
"Old sir, just call me Xiao Lin." Lin Feng's expression remained as usual. He raised his head and looked at the house in front of him. Apart from being a little old, there were no other problems.
"Xiao Lin, how old are you this year?" Zuo Zhongming opened the door with a smile.
"Under twenty."
"One year younger than my grandson?" Zuo Zhongming was surprised as he led Lin Feng into the room, took out two tea bowls from the porcelain plate, and poured water into them respectively.
"Drink tea."
"good."
Lin Feng picked up the cup, warmed his hands, and put it back down after a moment.
Seeing this, Zuo Zhongming rolled his eyelids: "Xiao Lin, you must have many questions, right? For example, what is an 'outsider', or the origin of our village?"
"Exactly." Lin Feng said bluntly: "The old gentleman said that I am an 'outsider'. Do you know that you live in another world?"
Zuo Zhongming tapped his fingers and said after a long time: "Exactly."
Lin Feng asked: "How did you know?"
"Ha...it's a long story." Zuo Zhongming said in a daze with a look of sadness on his face: "When I first became the village chief, the previous village chief once handed me a book."
"This book was written by the ancestors of Zhaoyao Village."
"The book records the origin of Zhaoyao Village and a prophecy."
"The ancestors said that he once lived in the outside world, and just because he accidentally met an immortal, he was caught in the blessed land of Cave Heaven."
"The gods taught him the art of being a disciple, and our ancestors settled here for four thousand years."
"Over the past four thousand years, the village chiefs have changed countless times, and our ancestors have already left Hexi."
"But..." After finishing his words, Zuo Zhongming suddenly became excited, and the hand holding the tea cup trembled: "Every village chief remembers the prophecies of his ancestors!"
He suddenly dropped the tea cup, ran to the bed and took out a book with a worn cover.
"look."
"Is this the book written by your ancestors?" Lin Feng took it in his hand and opened it casually. He found that the first page was the prophecy that Zuo Zhongming mentioned many times.
He scanned it briefly at first, then was shocked by what he saw, and read it word by word.
[Ancestor prophecy:]
[The Immortal caught me in a cave and taught me the mysterious mantra, so that I could learn the art of humiliation. I would live for three hundred years, and then I would grow old and settle down here.]
[I feel very relieved that the village is prosperous, but unfortunately my life is approaching and I still have regrets]
[I am a stranger in the outside world. I entered this secret realm and missed my wife every day. The longing became sick and turned into a demon in my heart. It is difficult to escape. I only ask future generations to take me away and bury me in front of my ancestors' graves.]
[Before dying, I divined the secrets and learned that monsters will cause trouble a thousand years later and outsiders will kill them. This is a thousand-year opportunity and the only way to leave the secret realm]
[Posterity please remember, please remember! 】
After reading just a few lines, Lin Feng had a general understanding.
There are monsters and outsiders.
Isn't it this time's great competition between good and evil?
He returned the book to Zuo Zhongming and asked: "Old sir, when I first arrived at the entrance of the village, the villagers were very surprised when they saw that I had no injuries on my body. Why is this?"
"Ah, this is a monster causing trouble recently, probably as predicted by our ancestors."
Lin Feng was stunned, monster?
According to the schedule, doesn’t it take seven days to show up?
He thought for a while and asked, "Where is the monster? Can you take me to find it?"
"this......"
Zuo Zhongming hesitated: "Isn't it good? Monsters are scary and can eat people."
The ancestors said that they had to rely on outsiders to take the whole village out of the secret realm. Lin Feng went to find the monster. If he died, how could they leave?
"Don't worry, old man. I'm very powerful. I can kill monsters like chickens and dogs. You just need to take me there."
Before setting off, Nian Shan's words made Lin Feng interested in the Nascent Soul stage monster mentioned in the race schedule. He was worried that Zhang Xiaojun would set a trap for the monster.
Now listening to Zuo Zhongming's words, I feel even more likely that this is possible.
Regardless of whether the monster Zuo Zhongming mentioned is the same monster as the monster mentioned in the schedule, out of caution, you can't go wrong by taking a look.
Seeing Lin Feng's persistence, Zuo Zhongming knew he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Dear outsiders..."
"Just call me Xiaolin."
"Well, Xiao Lin, you can go find the monsters, but the villagers and I must ensure your safety. You see it's getting late today, why not stay overnight?"
Lin Feng raised his head and looked out the window. The sun had just risen.
"..."
Zuo Zhongming smiled awkwardly and explained: "I want to gather the villagers to rehearse the itinerary. You see..."
"Okay." Lin Feng stood up and nodded lightly: "Then, old man, let's go get ready first. I'll walk around the village by myself and set off again tomorrow morning. How about that?"
"good!"
Zuo Zhongming was overjoyed. He went out and called the young and strong villagers, and began to discuss how to ensure Lin Feng's safety.
Lin Feng shook his head and let him go.
