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

"Escape?" Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"I suspect we are prisoners trapped here. Only when the miasma dissipates every fifteen years do we have a chance to escape with the outsiders."

"Who are the outsiders?"

"I don't know. They might be immortals who can fly and hide underground. They come every fifteen years, look for things in the village, and then take a group of people away."

Fairy?

Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows, thinking of what he had just seen, the old woman trying to practice Qi.

Upon asking, I found out that the old woman had spent a lot of effort to get it from a stranger decades ago.

But she was never able to get in.

This place.

It's getting weirder and weirder.

Next, Gu Xiu asked a lot of questions about those outsiders, but it was a pity that the old woman was just a mortal after all, and even a lot of the information she had obtained was what she had analyzed through clues over the past two hundred years.

For example, the outsider is an immortal.

For example, outsiders are looking for something but don’t know what they are looking for.

Of course, it also includes that these so-called outsiders who come to this place seem unable to kill people here at will.

"Who set up the formation in this attic?"

"..."

"Why are you hiding here?"

"..."

"Do you know Qin Mo Ran?"

"..."

Gu Xiu asked many more questions about the doubts in his mind, and even tried every possible way to ask, but in the end he still got nothing.

At this time, cracks appeared on the soul-catching mirror.

Gu Xiu frowned and asked again, "Why do you want Qin Ziyi and Sui Yu'an to have a child together?"

"acting."

"What kind of show are you playing?"

"We can't let outsiders know that in our Qin family, giving birth to a child is only for one person."

What? ? ?

Gu Xiu was stunned, and Suixing beside him almost had his eyes popping out of his head, as if he had discovered something extraordinary. He urged:

"Quick, Gu boy, ask her how the Qin family gave birth to children!"

This question made Gu Xiu couldn't help but glance at Suixing, but seeing Suixing's anxious look, Gu Xiu still asked a question.

In fact, how else can a woman give birth? You don't even need to ask to know this.

But never imagined...

The old woman replied dully:

"Lay eggs."

"What?" Gu Xiu thought he had misheard.

But the old woman answered again: "Every generation of the Qin family, when the miasma dissipates, will lay eggs after performing a ritual. The eggs will hatch in three days and a child will be born..."

Gu Xiu: ???

Broken Star: ???

The two looked at each other.

They all looked at the old woman in front of them.

no……

What the hell? ? ?

No matter how you look at it, it's a person!

Can it lay eggs???

But Broken Star suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked abruptly, "Quick, ask him how he lays eggs!"

"Laying eggs is..." Gu Xiu said.

But just when he was halfway through his words, his brows suddenly frowned, and the soul-catching mirror in front of him suddenly trembled violently, and the old woman in front of him, who had originally had a dull expression and a dull gaze, suddenly became ferocious.

"Her soul is struggling. Quickly, break the soul-catching mirror, otherwise it will trigger the mysterious power in her soul!" Suixing reminded hurriedly.

Gu Xiu frowned, but he also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he could only hurriedly perform the magic formula.

Take back the soul mirror.

Just as the soul-catching mirror was put away, the restriction of the attic was suddenly activated. Gu Xiu immediately gave up the idea of ​​observing and trying again, and rushed out of the attic in a flash.

When he rushed out, he looked back at the attic.

But suddenly discovered.

The attic suddenly burst out with a dark purple light, like a chain after another, binding it tightly!

Then the Qin Mansion was in chaos.

Gu Xiu looked for a while, but didn't gain anything else, so he could only turn around and leave.

"There's something weird about this place, really weird!"

On the way, Shattered Star pondered for a long time, then suddenly burst into a clamor: "An unimaginably powerful being must have done something here, or even cast a curse!"

"Curse?" Gu Xiu was surprised.

"Yes, it must be a curse. The Zhongshan Mansion saying that one can only leave after fifteen years is definitely not that simple!"

"The most important thing is..."

At this point, Shattered Star emerged and immediately turned back to look in the direction of the Qin family mansion behind him: "Laying eggs, have you ever heard of someone laying eggs?"

"No, have you heard of it?" Gu Xiu asked.

"I haven't heard of it either."

Broken Star shook its head, but before Gu Xiu could roll his eyes, it spoke again: "But what if this Qin family isn't human?"

not human?

Gu Xiu's eyelids twitched. He pondered for a while, then shook his head after seeing the appearance of Qin Ziyi and the Qin family's grandmother. "There's no demonic energy in these two people. They're not demons in disguise."

"Isn't it a monster?" Suixing asked.

"No." Gu Xiu said firmly.

He has the Demon Ancestor Taoist Master on him.

He could sense whether the one in front of him was a monster or not. No matter how powerful its transformation method was, as long as its bloodline remained unchanged, he would definitely be able to detect it.

"If it's not a monster, then that would be even more problematic." Suixing smacked his lips, but after thinking hard for a long time, he still had no clue. He just told Gu Xiu that if possible, he must go and see the Qin family lay eggs.

Gu Xiu naturally wouldn't refuse.

Such a bizarre thing must not be let go.

For the next two days, Gu Xiu continued to wander around the village, visiting Qin's house whenever he had nothing to do.

Just a pity.

All the restrictions in the attic have been opened, and it is impossible to leave no traces. Qin Ziyi also entered the attic and never went out, so Gu Xiu had no chance to contact her.

That day, Gu Xiu still returned empty-handed.

But just as he reached the door of his house, he saw an old farmer standing in front of his window holding a jar of paste. When he saw Gu Xiu, he smiled immediately:

"Xiao An, come quickly."

When Gu Xiu stepped forward, the old farmer handed him the paste and pointed at the window. "Hurry up and apply the paste just like I did. But be careful, you can't eat this, okay?"

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

I listened carefully to the old farmer's instructions, and then applied the paste on the wooden strips by the window in a professional manner. Then I saw the old farmer take out a thick piece of paper and stick it on the window.

While posting, he said:

"Xiao An, Uncle Zhu is old, so he won't be able to help you paste paper windows next year. You have to remember that every year during the Minor Snow, you have to paste paper windows, otherwise you won't be able to withstand the cold..."

The old farmer talked on and on, taking every step seriously, from applying the paste, to pasting the paper windows, and then to pressing the paper to fix them, trying to teach Gu Xiu how to paste the paper windows firmly and warmly.

Gu Xiu didn't interrupt.

Listen carefully to the teachings of this simple mortal in front of you.

Halfway through.

Another aunt came.

Holding a piece of freshly smoked bacon, he told Gu Xiu, or rather Sui Yu'an, that the bacon must be hung up to air dry and not be exposed to rain, and should be eaten sparingly.

Afterwards, many elders from the same village came one after another.

Some people gave us pickled vegetables.

Some people gave away glutinous rice cakes.

Some people also send clothes and bedding.

Not only did they deliver the gifts, some, like Uncle Niu, also tried to teach Gu Xiu some simple survival skills.

In fact, these things were useless to Gu Xiu, a cultivator, but he did not refuse them. Instead, he sincerely accepted each gift and patiently listened to the words of these mortals whose cultivation had not fluctuated at all.

In fact, in the past half month, Gu Xiu has not been in a hurry to find an exit, not only because the miasma here has not dissipated yet, but also because of the place called Zhaoping Village.

People are nice.

If we ignore the various unreasonable aspects of Zhaoping Village, in Gu Xiu's opinion, this place is more like the Peach Blossom Spring described by poets.

Live in harmony with the world, be simple and kind.

Although they were trapped in the mountains and cut off from the outside world, the villagers here were all very kind. They did not even bully Sui Yu'an, an orphan who had no parents since childhood.

even.

In Sui Yu'an's fragmented memories, he grew up under the care of various families. Although he was stupid and stupid, and suffered some hardships, these hardships never came from the villagers in the same village.

Gu Xiu was the only one who discovered that had evil intentions towards him.

There is only the Qin family.

"Xiao An, Uncle Niu is old and will be going to Zhongshan Mansion soon. I told Xiao Niu that he will take good care of you in the future. If you have nothing to eat, just come to our house, okay?"

"Yu'an, you're smart now. You can't go out in the snow like before. You need to wear more clothes, okay?"

"Xiao An..."

After the elders gave their gifts, they began to say goodbye and leave one by one.

Before leaving, everyone would hold Sui Yuan's hand and keep giving him instructions.

Sui Yu'an is no longer here.

Gu Xiu could only nod and thank them one by one on his behalf. As he watched these elders slowly leave, he couldn't help but feel a variety of emotions in his heart.

After everyone left, Gu Xiu poured himself a glass of wine that night.

Sitting in the courtyard in silence.

At three o'clock in the morning, a few crystal pieces floated down.

Gu Xiu looked up.

Snowing.

The snow was not heavy, like broken rice grains. He did not use his cultivation to block the rain and snow, but let the flying snow fall on his shoulders.

Unconsciously, I suddenly had an epiphany.

Gu Xiu stood up.

He picked up a branch, but in the end, Gu Xiu did not swing the sword, but put it away.

Sit down again.

He poured himself a pot of wine and exhaled softly:

"call."

But at this time.

The rain and snow that kept falling around suddenly solidified, and the rain and snow that was about to fall floated back from the bottom to the top in an instant, as if time and space were reversed. In just a moment, the rain and snow resumed.

It seemed as if everything just now was just an illusion.

"This is……"

"Time, the power of time and space!"

"That sword of yours almost touched time!"

"You can even comprehend the Dao of Swords, and even nearly grasp the Dao of Time. Now I understand why the Sword Saint calls you the Sword Immortal!"

"You're a monster!"

Broken Star exclaimed in surprise, but seeing that Gu Xiu didn't seem too surprised, he couldn't help but ask, "What was the name of that sword just now?"

Name?

Gu Xiu glanced at the snowflakes floating in front of him and murmured softly:

"In the past, the snow was like flowers, but now the flowers are like snow."

"Things have changed, people have changed, things are impermanent, it's a pity."

“This sword.”

"Just call..."

"Sigh."

Sigh?

Suixing was lost in thought, while the Xiaoyao Pei and Duxian Sword beside him flew to Gu Xiu. The little black monkey also came to the table, and they all fell silent.

But right now.

The little black monkey suddenly stood up, squeaked twice, and pointed at the miasma in the mountain stream.

Gu Xiu frowned and looked over.

But I saw it in this snowy night.

The miasma that has shrouded the entire Zhaoping Village for fifteen years is dissipating!

And behind the miasma.

Faintly, there were fluctuations of spiritual energy.

outsider.

coming!
