The flying boat shuttled through the past, and its speed gradually slowed down. Xiao Chen stood on the flying boat, his eyes searching for the place where he died. This dead land occupies a vast area and is a self-contained space. There are many natural and earthly treasures in it.
Such a place is filled with all kinds of desolation. This sense of desolation seems like the heaven and earth are mourning. Everything in the passing place will pass away. Hence the name.
Suddenly, in a valley in the distance, a green light emerged, like a mirage, which was particularly eye-catching. In this mirage, there is an old man who weaves bamboo ropes and various bamboo products. This old man was dressed simply, and his level of cultivation could not be discerned.
This old man, in the mirage, looks like an old farmer who has fallen into disgrace. He works hard just to make more bamboo products.
These bamboo products are no stranger to Xiao Chen. The bamboo rope used to catch ash is the same as the bamboo woven frog.
The old man in the mirage must be the craftsman Huang Lun mentioned. This craftsman is actually in a valley. To be precise, it should be among the mirages in the valley.
This valley is full of greenery and vitality, just like a fairyland on earth. It is completely opposite to the desolate scene in this dead place.
Such a place is rare. The flying boat landed at the entrance of the valley. After Xiao Chen and Pang Qi got off the flying boat, they saw many monks gathering here.
These people obviously came for this valley. But they couldn't enter the valley.
Xiao Chen looked outside the valley and found that the valley could be entered. He immediately entered with Pang Qi, but after entering the valley, the valley was a desolate scene just like the place where he died. This is completely different from the scene from a distance.
Only then did Xiao Chen understand why everyone was just wandering outside the valley and could not enter the valley.
The scene reflected outside the valley seems to be a mirage and does not exist here at all.
But in the projection, every move of the old man was very close at hand. Everyone was anxious for a while, but they didn't know how to enter this mirage, find the old man, and ask him for one or two bamboo products.
These bamboo products are extremely important to the dead. Once obtained, it is a huge gain.
Everyone was guarding the entrance to the valley. Some were impatient, while others were calm and composed. These people are distinct and have several small groups. These people joined a group to keep warm and formed their own small teams, seemingly to compete for something.
Pang Qi glanced at Xiao Chen and asked, "What should we do?"
Xiao Chen calmly found a corner, he didn't want to be the target of public criticism. He didn't know what was going on at the moment.
He decided to wait and act, and said to Pang Qi: "No rush, let's take a look first and then talk."
Pang Qi also meant the same thing, and the two of them fell silent in agreement.
At the entrance of the valley, those people waited for three full days, but there was still no news of their departure. During this period, Xiao Chen noticed that these people had been observing the old man in the projection. Once the old man finished a certain bamboo product, they became excited.
It seems that these bamboo products will be given to them. Their moods fluctuated as each bamboo product was completed.
There is something weird here, and Xiao Chen behaves very patiently. He and Pang Qi became the most inconspicuous among the crowd. They were ignored by these people.
It seems that these people only have the bamboo products of the old man in the projection in their hearts. These bamboo products are full of great temptation for these people.
Soon, the old man felt tired. His eyes passed through the space and were projected directly to the entrance of the valley. Feeling the old man's gaze, these people cheered and took out the treasures in their hands.
Everything they took out was enough to cause a bloody storm in the outside world. But the old man simply chose to ignore it. He didn't like what these people brought out.
Suddenly, the old man pointed at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was stunned and surprised.
The monks at the entrance of the valley were even more surprised. They didn't expect that this craftsman would actually fall in love with a guy who had no sense of existence.
This guy looked ordinary, but he was pointed out by the craftsman. The same expression appeared on everyone's faces, that was envy.
The old man's hand pointed more accurately at the grass bracelet in Xiao Chen's hand. It turned out that the old man was interested in Xiao Chen's straw bracelet.
Now, everyone was even more envious.
Something that the old man can take a fancy to is definitely a very powerful treasure. This old man looks earthy, but he actually has a very high vision. He doesn't look down on ordinary things at all. Even some things that seem to be treasures to outsiders are nothing more than dirt in the eyes of the old man.
Everyone looked at Xiao Chen's wrist. It was an ordinary grass bracelet that couldn't be more ordinary. This thing was actually chosen by craftsmen. Everyone showed displeasure. This thing isn't worth much money at all.
Everyone was very puzzled.
But the craftsman slowly spoke, "Little friend, would you like to exchange the things on your wrist for the bamboo products I just woven?"
His voice fell clearly into everyone's ears. Everyone had only envious expressions. This guy is so lucky. This kind of good thing actually caught his fancy.
The craftsman is also a weirdo, and he actually likes such a thing. However, Pang Qi became nervous. This is something Su Xuan gave to Xiao Chen and must not be exchanged. He was afraid that Xiao Chen would agree to the old man's request and even express his objection.
He shook his head quickly and said decisively: "No, this thing cannot be exchanged."
Everyone laughed, this follower was even more nervous than his master. It was quite a joke. Everyone just thought it was ridiculous.
However, the next moment, Xiao Chen's words made them realize that maybe they had been wrong from the beginning.
Xiao Chen also said firmly: "Sorry, I can't exchange this with you."
Hearing this, the old man in the mirage couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But he didn't force it. But I just feel a little regretful.
The expressions on the faces of everyone at the entrance of the valley became wonderful.
What on earth was this that made these two guys reject the craftsman's proposal so decisively. At this moment, everyone no longer felt that the craftsman just picked a useless thing.
Could this grass bracelet be something powerful?
But at least one thing is certain, the value of this grass bracelet is definitely higher than that of bamboo products. Otherwise, these two guys would not refuse so decisively.
Everyone looked at Xiao Chen and became greedy. In their eyes, Xiao Chen became a big fat sheep.
They were obviously tempted and wanted to steal the straw bracelet. Although I don’t know what it does specifically, I want to grab it first and then talk about it.
This is not a difficult decision for everyone, but it is a choice that will definitely be made.
