I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Xiao Anzi, you are really amazing. Did you actually pick some herbs today?"

"Hey, I've noticed that Sui Yu'an has become smarter since he got lost in the mountains last time."

"It seems that we don't have to beg for food from other people anymore. This kid has really grown up and can support himself. We can rest assured now."

"..."

Walking through Zhaoping Village, many villagers were full of admiration for Sui Yuan, who was holding a few medicinal herbs in a bamboo basket.

The identity of Sui Yu'an was not fabricated by Gu Xiu.

Speaking of which, he was able to walk out of the spatial turbulence because of a wisp of obsession from his remaining soul that was burning, which allowed him to finally break out of the turbulence. This obsession from his remaining soul belonged to Sui Yu'an, a young man from Zhaoping Village.

The young man was abandoned in Zhaoping Village by his parents due to illness and stupidity. He grew up relying on food from other families, but was eventually poisoned to death by poisonous miasma in the wilderness in the mountains.

Death was silent.

His only obsession was one thing.

I just want to go to a place called Zhongshan Mansion.

Because he had heard that his parents had gone to Zhongshan Prefecture. Although the boy was stupid, he had dreamed of going to Zhongshan Prefecture since he was a child. As for what to do after arriving there, he didn't know. He just simply wanted to see that place.

Just a pity.

Until his death, he never left Zhaoping Village, which was surrounded by mountains and shrouded in miasma.

Gu Xiu was unable to revive the boy, but since he planned to borrow the boy's identity, he naturally had to fulfill the boy's long-cherished wish. He carried the boy's remaining soul and ashes with him, intending to bring the boy's remaining thoughts to the Zhongshan Mansion that he had been thinking about all along.

So that they can be reborn with peace of mind.

Gu Xiu walked along the village road and came to the door of a pharmacy in the village. A bored man inside was holding his chin with his hands. When he saw Gu Xiu, his eyes immediately lit up:

"Sui Yu'an, you really came today. Let me see what you picked today."

As the medicine boy spoke, he helped to unload the bamboo basket. Before Gu Xiu could answer, he had already picked and chose what was inside the basket, and then calculated with his abacus. Then he threw a few copper coins over:

"There are fewer herbs today, but they are of good quality. Here, I'll give you two extra copper coins this time."

The copper plates here are unique.

It was not made of ordinary copper like those in ordinary towns, nor was there any word "Tong Bao" printed on it.

Just the opposite.

The copper plates here are all made of a refining material called five-grain copper. There are no words on them, only a picture that looks like an ancient relic.

The most important thing is that there is a special aura on it, as if it was cast using a special technique.

No one else can imitate it.

Gu Xiu took the copper coin and glanced inside the medicine shop: "Do you have the herbs I requested?"

"I'm surprised you mentioned this."

The medicine boy scratched his head and asked in confusion, "I told the shopkeeper about the herbs you wanted yesterday, and he said he had never heard of those three herbs before. He also asked me where I heard about them."

These words made Gu Xiu's eyes change slightly, but he didn't show it. He just made the excuse that he had dreamed it.

After a few more words, Gu Xiu prepared to leave with the copper coin in his hand.

"wait!"

Instead, the medicine boy called Gu Xiu over and stuffed a paper talisman into his hand, saying, "Take this and put it under your pillow when you get home. Don't go out for the next few days."

Gu Xiu took a quick look and found that it was just an ordinary amulet from the City God Temple.

The medicine boy said, "I heard from the shopkeeper yesterday that the miasma outside our village will soon disappear. There may be strangers coming in these few days. You are so stupid. If you run into a stranger, you might offend the master. This is a new amulet my mother asked for me. I give it to you."

"Is the miasma going to disappear?" Gu Xiu asked curiously.

"Yes, that's what the shopkeeper said." The medicine boy nodded and glanced at the foggy miasma in the distance, his eyes full of anticipation: "I've never been outside in my life, so I don't know what it looks like outside."

Gu Xiu also glanced at the miasma in the distance, and then without asking any more questions, he just squeezed the talisman in his hand and said goodbye and left.

But when he turned around, a red light flashed in Gu Xiu's eyes.

The Eye of Heaven!

It's just a pity...

After a moment, Gu Xiu withdrew his gaze, frowned and thought.

"How is it? What did you find out?" The voice of Shattered Star came first.

"Can't see anything."

Gu Xiu shook his head: "Just like before, the cause and effect threads here look normal at first glance, no different from an ordinary small mountain village."

"This place is so strange, but the cause and effect are still normal. Doesn't that just prove that this place is abnormal?" Suixing said at this moment:

"We definitely haven't come to an ordinary mountain village this time. This place must be extraordinary!"

Gu Xiu did not deny what Suixing said.

He has been here for more than ten days. When he first arrived, he just planned to borrow Sui Yu'an's identity and rest in this remote mountain village for a while before setting off. However, after staying here for more than ten days, Gu Xiu discovered that something was wrong with this place!

Just as Broken Star said.

Something is wrong with this place!

The most abnormal thing is that the entire Zhaoping Village is shrouded in a poisonous miasma. The poisonous miasma is extremely toxic and can corrode everything, whether it is the flesh or the spiritual energy.

Even magical weapons can be devoured and corroded.

Gu Xiu had tried to get through before, but found that he couldn't get through. He even asked Shattered Star and Crossing Immortal Sword to explore the way, but they couldn't get out of the miasma outside.

Gu Xiu asked about it.

No one in Zhaoping Village has ever been out, so the miasma is there all year round. Only the rain and fog that occur once every fifteen years can dissipate some of the miasma's toxicity.

It allows people to pass through for a few days.

This is one of them.

The second strange thing is the location of Zhaoping Village.

According to what he heard in the village.

Zhaoping Village is located in the jurisdiction of Sanling County, Zhongshan Prefecture, Jingxi Road. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, Gu Xiu has never heard of Jingxi Road, let alone Zhongshan Prefecture, Sanling County and the like.

Although this world is extremely vast and there is nothing special about a place, since it can be called Tao, it is definitely not a small place. Five hundred years ago, Gu Xiu traveled to many places and saw many things that happened in this world within ten thousand years through a glance.

I have never heard of the name Jingxi Road.

This is even more abnormal.

He also took the opportunity to inquire about the history of the village.

It was found that the recorded history of Zhaoping Village was only over a hundred years, and it mainly recorded things like who served as the village chief and who died. Apart from that, there were no other records.

This is the second.

The third point is also what makes Suixing most suspicious.

There are many treasures in this place.

In other words, Zhaoping Village is a treasure mine.

Cultivation resources, refining materials and the like are common in Zhaoping Village. Even some relatively precious materials can be found everywhere in Zhaoping Village.

This is not normal.

Not to mention that the growth of many materials actually conforms to the principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and has extremely demanding requirements for the growth environment. It is definitely not something that can be nurtured by half a hill.

Even if such a place really existed, it would have been discovered by the sect long ago, and they would have incorporated it into their own territory without hesitation and provided resources for their sect.

Don’t say you can only go in and out once every fifteen years.

For a sect of immortal cultivation, being able to enter and exit once every fifteen years is not short, but it is definitely not long either.

Can be biased.

There are more than 500 people in Zhaoping Village, but not one of them has any cultivation skills, and none of them has ever come into contact with cultivators.

No matter how you look at it.

Zhaoping Village is like an ordinary mortal village trapped in the mountains and has never had any contact with the outside world.

But this is also the strangest thing.

"Sui Yu'an, so you are here!"

Just as Gu Xiu was slowly walking towards his residence, a figure blocked his way.

This was a young girl who had just reached the age of marriage. She was wearing a maid's uniform that had been washed exceptionally clean, so clean that it seemed out of place in the entire Zhaoping Village. The other person's eyes darted back and forth over Gu Xiu, but were quickly replaced by disgust.

"Our young lady is looking for you, please come with me."

After saying that, the girl turned around and left, as if Gu Xiu was suffering from some disease and didn't want to get too close to him.

However, Gu Xiu looked at the other person's departing back, took a step forward, and continued walking towards his own cabin.

"Sui Yu'an, what are you doing? The young lady is over here!" The little maid reminded dissatisfiedly.

Gu Xiu just glanced at the other person.

Never paid any attention.

When he saw Sui Yu'an, he had been dead for many days, leaving only his regrets. Among them, there were some memories left, and what impressed him most was the maid and the lady mentioned by the maid.

In Sui Yuan’s fragmented memory.

The little maid had a bad attitude, but the young lady admired her like a fairy from heaven.

It is no exaggeration to say that you can come when you call and go when you wave.

but……

The Sui Yuan of today is not the same Sui Yuan of the past.

Although he didn't know what the fairy-like lady in Sui Yu'an's mind looked like because of her incomplete memory, no matter what she looked like, to Gu Xiu, she was just a pretty skeleton.

He had no interest in paying attention.

"Well, you fool, you even dared to disobey our young lady!"

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that Sui Yu'an, who always obeyed her words and never dared to disobey her, was so disobedient today, the little maid immediately became annoyed and rolled up her sleeves to teach him a lesson.

just.

The little maid just stepped forward and was about to take action when she saw Sui Yu'an suddenly turn around as if she had sensed something.

He glanced at her.

Those eyes were very calm, but within that calmness, there was a coldness that kept people at a distance.

It was this look that made the maid suddenly stand there in shock.

The whole body seemed to be wrapped in a cold air.

It seemed as if she would die here if she offended him again.

I was stunned for a long time.

The feeling of fear finally disappeared.

The maidservant suddenly collapsed to the ground, but when she looked forward, there was no sign of Sui Yu'an. The maidservant immediately stood up, with a gloomy look on her face, but in the end she did not dare to follow. She could only grit her teeth and look in the direction where Sui Yu'an disappeared.

He stamped his feet hard.

Then he turned and left.

But the angry little maid did not notice that when she just left, the figure that had just brought her endless fear had reappeared in the alley.

Then, he walked slowly behind her.

Not long after.

The maid came to the gate of the most luxurious mansion in Zhaoping Village and walked all the way to the door of a boudoir in the inner courtyard: "Miss."

"Is that little fool here?"

"My dear lady, that fool is not coming."

"what?"

"That idiot is like a different person. He even ignored what I said. Others said that the idiot went to the forest and became smart after breathing too much miasma. I think it's obvious that his brain was damaged because he breathed too much miasma!" said the maid viciously.

There was silence inside for a while. "Did you ask him why he was able to come back safe and sound after so many days?"

"This one……"

"did not ask?"

“Well…” The little maid hurriedly knelt on the ground: “That fool Sui Yu’an seems to have become a different person. Just the look in his eyes makes me afraid to say anything. I…I was timid for a moment and forgot to ask.”

The maid seemed to know that she had made a mistake.

He immediately knelt down on the ground.

But at this moment, the door of the boudoir, which had been tightly closed, was quietly opened.

Followed by.

An unexpected figure walked out...
