The six eyes were shocked, which was even more frightening than encountering a monster. His first reaction was to hold up the blood jade knife, and quickly turned his head to look. A middle-aged man wearing coarse clothes stood far away, his eyes were gentle and showed no malice.
"I'm Yun Yi. I've lived here for many years. This is the first time I've seen someone outside. I'm surprised. Please forgive me for disturbing you, sir!" Although this man was in simple clothes, he was polite. He lowered his guard and put away his blood. Jade knife.
He briefly explained his purpose, and Yun Yi was even more surprised when he heard it, "It turns out that there is a Qiyue City adjacent to us, but we have no idea about it. It's really like a frog in a well!"
After exchanging a few words, Liu Mu said seriously: "I have gone through a lot of hardships to get here, and I have many questions in my mind. Can I talk to you in detail?"
Yun Yi thought for a while and said: "I have lived here for many years and I am not allowed to leave. It is a great blessing to meet Mr. I am just trying to introduce Mr. to the master."
The two of them were chatting while walking. The sky was getting brighter and the roads were winding. There was a small village in the valley of the mountain, surrounded by farmland, and the scenery was quite beautiful. Most of the houses in the village are wooden houses and thatched houses, arranged in a circle, and the roads are connected with nine twists and turns, like a Bagua array. A wooden building stands in the center, standing out like a flock of chickens.
As soon as we arrived in front of the building, the sound of the piano came from inside. It was melodious and fluctuating, like running water and a clear spring. It had the potential to linger around the beam for three days. Yun Yi smiled and said: "My master likes to play the piano at sunrise. Please wait here, sir, and I will go and report!"
As he climbed up the stairs, the sound of the piano stopped for a moment, and a young girl came to guide him. Liu Ming has carefully observed this place. There are small bridges in the villages, flowing water, winding paths and fences with flowers, plants and trees. It is so beautiful and quiet, it should not be a dangerous place. As he climbed the stairs, he was guessing about the appearance of the owner.
The carved wooden door opened gently, and the smell of sandalwood hit your face. There is a set of wooden tables and chairs in the room, and there are several calligraphy and paintings on the wall. The furnishings are simple but very elegant. Yun Yi stood aside and was talking to the person sitting firmly in the middle. Seeing Liu Mu come in, the man in the middle leaned away from his seat, clasped his fists and said, "Yun Yi has explained the situation to me. It is a great fortune to meet you sir. Please sit down and talk!"
Liu Mu returned the favor and sat down, and the girl offered fragrant tea. He carefully looked at his master, and it was a bit unexpected. He was very young, very handsome, and behaved like an immortal. He was very different from the majestic old man Liu Mu imagined.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the host dismissed the others and returned to the subject: "I have lived here for more than twenty years. This is the first time I see an outsider. I am surprised and feel honored..."
His words were shocking, making his eyes jump up and his mouth open, "Then you are still so young and your appearance has not changed? Are you a god?"
The master smiled and shook his head, "I am a mortal. As for the hidden meaning, I think it is what you are interested in." He stood up, shook his robe sleeves, and turned to look at the flowing clouds outside the window, giving only six eyes. silhouette.
"Do you often ask yourself, who am I? Where do I come from? You are like raindrops falling from the sky, without any memory of the past. Your body looks like flesh and blood, but it is not. It does not age, nor does it It will die because it is made of magic."
"Then why do others die when they are killed, but I can be resurrected every time?"
The master was surprised when he heard what he said, "The immortality I am talking about is a normal state. If you are hit by an external force beyond the limit, you will die. But why can you be resurrected?"
What he also saw in his six eyes was confusion, so he smiled and said: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world, maybe you have some unknown adventures."
Liu Mu changed the topic and asked: "Then where is this place?"
The owner sighed: "This place shouldn't have a name. If you want to remember it, just call it 'Soul Burial Valley'!" His expression suddenly became gloomy, as if he had touched a sore spot.
"There are monsters in front of here and cliffs reaching the sky behind. How can we escape?"
"Escape?" The master smiled bitterly: "If I could escape easily, I wouldn't have been trapped here for more than twenty years!"
Liu Mu heard the meaning behind his words, so he continued to ask: "Can you please tell me how to escape? Even if there are many difficulties and dangers, I will not give up even if I die!"
"Courage is commendable, but if you want to escape, it's difficult to reach the sky. The first step is to get the 'Tianmu'."
This was the second time Liumu heard the word "Tianmu". He searched quickly in his mind and suddenly felt that there seemed to be some connection between the city lord and this person.
"It is said that the 'Tianmu' originated from the laurel tree in the Moon Palace, which fell into the mortal world because Wu Gang cut down the laurel. It originally belongs to the divine realm, and its power can be imagined. It is located in this world, like a needle that fixes the sea, a pillar holding up the sky. If you If you can obtain it, you will have the power to control this world!"
"So where is 'Tianmu'?"
"I have never set foot on this small area, so I don't know where it is. Even if you can find it, the 'Sky Tree' is as hard as iron. If you want to cut it down, it will undoubtedly be like a fly shaking the tree, and it will be difficult to reach the sky."
"If you can find it, there's always a way to do it!"
The host smiled, "Very good, we have the same purpose. I'm waiting for your good news!"
"Then what's the second step?" Liumu continued to ask.
However, the host was no longer interested in continuing the conversation and changed the subject: "Sir, it is rare for you to come here. He is our distinguished guest. Please stay here for a few days and let me do my duty as a landlord."
Liu Mu saw that they had politely issued an order to expel the guests, so he tactfully handed them over and left. After walking out of the small building, Yun Yi was still waiting outside. He led Liu Mu through the cobbled streets. There were many men and women watching, pointing and whispering from time to time.
Yun Yi smiled and said: "Sir, don't be surprised! These people have not seen outsiders for many years, so they are extremely curious. Please forgive me for being rude."
Liumu actually enjoyed these warm looks and waved and smiled to greet them. When you turn into a small alley, you will see green trees and the fragrance of flowers in front of you, and you will see a quiet courtyard right in front of you.
"It's a small village with no special inn. Mr. Wenqu is temporarily staying in a humble house."
The wooden house is low and covered with decaying grass, but it is very elegant inside and has a unique flavor.
In the evening, the host hosted a banquet for Liumu, including some game and rare delicacies from the mountains. It was not rich, but very delicious. Everyone was drinking and chatting happily.
By the time we got back to the hut, it was already dark and Liu Mu was a little tipsy. He tried hard to recall all the details during the banquet, as well as everyone's speech and behavior. Every time the topic came up as to why they were trapped here, everyone was silent and their expressions were slightly gloomy. Who are they?
He was thinking wildly and was completely sleepless. The moonlight was bright, shining through the window lattice in front of the bed. Suddenly a figure flashed outside the window, and something shot into the room. Liu Mu instinctively rolled to dodge and fell under the bed. The figure crashed through the window lattice, and in his hand was a sharp short blade, shining with cold light, heading straight for Liumu's chest. He rolled and dodged one after another, and was finally forced into a corner.
Under the moonlight, he could clearly see the person's face, which was obscured by a black scarf, leaving only his eyes shining brightly. In the flash of lightning, the short blade in the man's hand stabbed his chest. With no place to hide, he grabbed a wooden basin to block it. The wooden basin fell into pieces, and there was a deep wound on his arm.
He sighed in his heart, let him kill him if he wanted to, since he would be resurrected soon anyway. With this thought, he simply stopped dodging and saw the ray of light approaching his chest.
At this time, there was a shout from outside, and another figure broke through the window and hit the back of the man in black with a sharp palm wind. The man in black was attacked from the front and back, rolled to dodge, and then jumped through the thatch of the roof and fled.
Yun Yi showed off his skills, and his six eyes revealed that his martial arts were quite impressive. He was a woodcutter in the mountains before and suddenly became a martial arts master. The identities of these people made him even more suspicious.
Yun Yi first stepped forward to check the wound on his arm, which was still dripping with blood and showed no signs of healing. Liu Mu was secretly surprised. Normally a small injury like this would heal quickly. What happened today?
At this moment, the master walked in casually, and a quick look at his movement revealed that he was no ordinary person. While listening to Yun Yi's report, he looked at the wounds in his six eyes, his face gloomy and silent.
"The assassin was very skilled in martial arts. He also had weapons. He seemed to be able to..."
The master waved his hand to interrupt Yun Yi, turned to Liu Mu and said with his hands in his hands: "I wanted to show my kindness to the landlord, but I didn't expect that I brought a bloody disaster to my husband. I'm so ashamed! It's no longer safe here, sir, please leave as soon as possible under the cover of night!"
Liumu didn't expect to receive an eviction order. Just as he was about to defend himself, the host turned to Yun Yi and told Yun Yi: "Apply 'Moon Dew Powder' to Mr.'s wound and escort him away quickly!"
After saying this, the master left without waiting for Liu Mu to speak.
The sky has dawned, the sky is glowing, and the red sun is about to burst out at any time. The owner stood under the eaves upstairs and looked at the distant mountains. His thoughts were wandering along with the clouds and mists on the mountain peaks. In confusion, he saw another scene...
Green smoke curled up, like a dream. In front of me was a bronze cauldron as tall as a person, with a blazing fire. He was standing on a solitary peak, surrounded by floating clouds, like a fairyland. Looking at the distant mountains is also so green, and the sea of clouds stretches all the way to the horizon.
Suddenly there was a refreshing fragrance of orchids, and a snow-white arm as white as a lotus root surrounded him from behind. He did not look back, but gently rubbed the smooth jade arm.
"Yuanlang, you work hard every day to practice elixirs, don't let your body get exhausted." The man behind him exhaled like blue, and the sound of swallows and orioles reached his ears.
"I want to break through the limits of cultivation and become the first person in the history of my family!"
"Yuanlang is the best in the family in terms of martial arts, literary talent, and magic and alchemy skills. I heard that your grandfather wants to pass on the position of head of the family to you."
"However, the position of head of the family has always been passed down only to the eldest son. I am a concubine, so I am afraid I am not qualified."
"The most important positions in the world are filled by talented people. Yuan Lang must not underestimate yourself. In my eyes, you are an omnipotent hero!"
He still wanted to speak, but the man turned his head with his hand and kissed his lips. He felt that the other person's lips were as intoxicating as peony stamens, and he couldn't help but suck them as hard as he could, for fear of missing a drop of nectar...
At this time, the bamboo curtain suddenly lifted, and a young girl came in and whispered: "Master, Yun Yi has returned."
He looked away from the distant mountains, tried his best to organize his thoughts, and said: "Let him come to see me quickly!"
