"Young man, are you from outside?" Although the old man had white hair, he had a crane face and his voice was powerful. However, the moment he looked at Yang Ning, Yang Ning felt like he was being seen through. It seemed that everything was gone. Close your eyes.
"Grandpa, that's right." Yang Ning nodded. Although he still didn't know where this mountain village belonged, Yang Ning was sure of one thing. This place was definitely a secular world and completely isolated from the outside world.
"Our mountain village is Gaijiazhuang. My name is Gaizhang, old guy. I wonder what the young man's name is?" asked the village chief Gaizhang.
"Yang Ning."
"Little brother Yang, seeing that you have extraordinary aura and can pass through the forest outside, I think you are definitely not an ordinary person..." Just as he was stamping his seal and continuing to speak, Yang Ning's expression suddenly lit up. .
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Gaizhan asked. Yang Ning came back to her senses and asked: "Grandpa, did you say this is Gaijia Village?"
"Yes." Gai Zhang nodded.
"Gaijiazhuang, Gaijiazhuang..." Yang Ning murmured, seeming to have a sense of magic. Suddenly thinking about it, he hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, do you know Gaishu?"
"Geshu?" Suddenly the old man's face had a solemn look on his face, because he seemed to have heard this name somewhere but couldn't remember it for a while. Suddenly the old man's face also showed a solemn expression and said: "Little brother Yang, And you little guys, come with me." Gai Zhang led the way and walked towards the inside of the mountain village. Yang Ning was also curious, but one thing is certain. As for the owner of the sword burial, I believe he is related to Gai Shu. relationship, otherwise Gaijiazhuang would not appear here, but this Gajiazhuang and that so-called
"Fan", what does it matter? Yang Ning didn't know. Soon, Yang Ning and a group of kids came to a courtyard under the leadership of Gai Zhang. However, looking at the appearance of Gai Zhang and the expressions of the kids around him, Yang Ning still had some guesses, because of the look on Gai Zhang's face. It was very solemn, and the appearance of the dozen or so little kids was also very humble and respectful.
"Grandpa, this is..."
"Offer to the temple." He stamped his name and bowed devoutly to one of the houses three times before opening the door of the house.
Reading creaked... The door opened, and there was a slight dust scattered, but I didn't care about the stamp, and walked straight in. Soon there was the sound of stamping, saying: "Little brother Yang, come and see." Yang Ning I also walked in, and saw a very thick book in the stamped hand, yellowed and old.
"I wonder if the little brother is talking about him?" Gaizhan pointed at the book and asked Yang Ning to take a closer look. Yang Ning looked at the book and saw a person above carrying a sword like a giant ruler, but it gave Yang Ning a feeling that this person had a majestic appearance, but something surprising happened to Yang Ning, because Yang Ning couldn't see this person's true face.
And at the end of the screen, it says
The word "Gai Shu". Yang Ning had never met Gai Shu, but she still heard Gai Shu's name in the tea shed. Yang Ning didn't know whether to nod or shake his head for a moment.
"Grandpa, is this person from the village?" Yang Ning pointed at Gaishu in the painting, but he still couldn't see his true face, it was very blurry.
"He is our ancestor, but according to records, he should have gone to the outside world." Gaizhang said.
"The outside world..." Yang Ning didn't understand why
The test of "Mortal Road" will make him appear here, but when he heard that Gai Shu was indeed from Gaijiazhuang, Yang Ning still felt a little uneasy.
After sealing and closing the ancient book, he took Yang Ning to the courtyard and said, "Little brother, did you hear Gai Shuzu outside?"
"I don't know either. I entered a burial place, and then..." Yang Ning suddenly stopped talking and did not continue. His voice changed and he said: "Grandpa, I want to stay with you for a while. I don't know. Is that possible?"
"Yes, of course. Although I don't know how you know Gaishuzu, but since you are related to your ancestors, you can naturally live here." Gaizhang did not refuse.
"Jiu Wazi, you two take your little brothers to settle down." Gaizhan said to the children immediately.
"Yes, Grandpa Village Chief." Jiuwazi said, with excitement on his face, because they also wanted to hear what Yang Ning said about the outside world.
Always full of curiosity about new things, Yang Ning suddenly became the attention of these dozen children. Every day they would hang around Yang Ning and let Yang Ning talk about things in the outside world.
Yang Ning also used this time to learn about the environment around Gaijia Village. Yang Ning also saw the so-called vastness of the forest. There was lush greenery in all directions, with no end in sight. In the forest, roaring sounds could be heard from time to time, and Gaijiazhuang was like a forest. Unexpected, wrapped up, completely isolated from the world.
"Jiuwazi, have you never been out?" After a few days of getting along, Yang Ning and Jiuwazi became familiar with each other, Yang Ning asked.
Jiu Wazi's innocent and simple face still showed curiosity, but he shook his head.
"There are big beasts in the forest..."
"I've seen it before..."
"Grandpa, the village chief, don't let us go into danger..." A group of kids talked about the various dangers in the forest.
Yang Ning was a little helpless and was thinking hard these days. What is the relationship between Fanlu and this mountain village? In the next ten days, Yang Ning's footprints were all over the mountain village, and even the fields on the mountain, Yang Ning set foot on every piece of it.
After more than ten days, Yang Ning came to the conclusion that the people here seemed to live a long life. It did not mean that some people lived for hundreds of years, but compared to other ordinary people, the people here obviously lived longer. Some.
"Fan, Wuyou, can you really live a long life?" After more than ten days, Yang Ning learned to think, but regarding Fan Lu and Fan Zhijian, Yang Ning still couldn't find any connection in the mountain village.
Yang Ning seemed to gradually forget, forget his own identity, forget that he came from the outside world, and began to integrate into this quiet and peaceful mountain village.
Yang Ning also tried to enter the forest, but after Yang Ning went a few hundred meters deep, he gave up because he vaguely felt that this mortal road and mortal world must have nothing to do with the depths of the forest, otherwise he would not be there. It will appear at the entrance of the village.
Yang Ninglai learned to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Very fulfilling and peaceful. As time goes by, Yang Ning seems to have forgotten the purpose of coming here. In fact, even Yang Ning himself doesn't know what the purpose of coming here is.
"Little brother Yang, what are you..." The stamp was a little surprising, because at this moment Yang Ning was wearing a coarse linen shirt and walking on grass, laughing happily with the villagers.
"Grandpa, ordinary days are very fulfilling..." There was dust on Yang Ning's face, and there was nothing noble like when he first came to Gaijia Village.
"It's good to be full, it's good to be full." The old man didn't say much, but he was still a little surprised by Yang Ning's change. Although the old man had never been outside the outside world, he also understood a truth, that is, it is easy to change from frugality to luxury. , It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but looking at Yang Ning's appearance, the old man still smiled slightly on his face.
Yang Ning didn't care, he still worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Yang Ning seemed to have forgotten the progress of the years, and in the blink of an eye, he had been building a village for half a year.
Yang Ning and the people in Gaijiazhuang also faced the first problem since Yang Ning came to Gaijiazhuang. That is, the water source in Gaijiazhuang gradually began to dry up, and wells needed to be drilled to obtain water.
Due to his strong physical body, Yang Ning showed no sign of fatigue after half a year. He led the young men of Gaijia Village to start digging wells in low-lying areas near the dense forest.
Be happy in the midst of suffering, seek the ordinary in the midst of suffering. Yang Ning felt a lot. Ordinary people are like this. Without water, it is difficult to live.
The well digging began, one foot after another... Yang Ning's body seemed to have endless strength. After several days of continuous work, the first well was finally opened on the fifth day.
The water is slightly astringent, but has a hint of sweetness.
"Is this Fan?"
"Yes, this is Fan!" Yang Ning looked at the setting sun on the horizon and seemed to gain something. Suddenly, Yang Ning felt like there was something strange inside her body.
Although astringent, it is sweet. Yang Ning's body suddenly bloomed with a faint light, which seemed to complement the setting sun in the sky.
"Brother, why are you glowing..." Jiu Wazi asked Yang Ning curiously. Yang Ning looked at Jiu Wazi who was holding a bowl of well water with a happy face, patted Jiu Wazi's head gently and said, "I just feel a little bit in my heart."
"But you have this kind of..." Jiuwazi was still very curious.
"It's okay." Yang Ning, as a cultivator, naturally knows the changes in this situation, but as Yang Ning realizes at this moment, this is a peaceful mountain village, but the mortal road of the sword burial place leads to this place. Mountain village, then it can be determined that this place must be inextricably related to Gaishu. In addition, Gaishu has arranged it like this, so Gaishu must want to protect this mountain village, so there is no need for him to come because of his arrival. Breaking the peace of this mountain village.
With the emergence of this light of understanding, Yang Ning gradually understood that he would not stay here for a long time.
Since Ge Shu was secretly protecting this mountain village, and he realized what being ordinary was here, Yang Ning decided to leave something for this mountain village before leaving.
"Jiuwazi, you go and inform the uncles in the village. I'll go down and take a look first." Yang Ning looked at the well he had just opened.
"Okay, I just happened to tell the village about the big brother's opening of the well..." Jiuwazi smiled happily and skipped towards the mountain village.
Yang Ning drank a bowl of well water and jumped into the well that had just been opened. Soon, Yang Ning came to the underground. The underground water flow was not turbulent, but as Yang Ning continued to go deeper, he still felt an unusual aura.
Because of the light of enlightenment, there seemed to be a trace of spiritual energy recovery in Yang Ning's body, and there was a feeling of spiritual power being reawakened, but Yang Ning also knew that he could not use his spiritual power yet.
I could only start to follow the direction of the current and swim upstream with my weak mental strength.
"This is..." Yang Ning felt the breath of life.
"Could it be that it's not that Gaishu never came back, but that after he came back, he found that the village had changed, and finally chose to guard the village secretly?" Yang Ning walked a mile underground and finally came to the front. Below the water flow, I felt a clear sense of vitality.
"This is... such a strong spiritual energy." Yang Ning dived down, deep under the water flow, and finally saw the scene below the water flow clearly.
"Lingyuan?" Yang Ning couldn't believe her eyes. I saw a piece of jade that was ten feet square quietly placed in the water.
When the water flows through the jade, it will bring the breath of life to the water. It is precisely because of this Lingyuan jade that the ordinary people in Gaijiazhuang live long lives.
"A spiritual vein has been born." Yang Ning was surprised. Around the spiritual source, a spiritual vein that looked like a dragon was wandering around, so happy.
