It was still the ancient bronze door embedded in the mountain wall. Wei Zhuo held Chen Shuixin's hand tightly with one hand, took out the token with the other hand, and pressed it on the bronze door under the gaze of the clan leader.
The next moment, Wei Zhuo and Chen Shuixin were back on the familiar corridor. This time they did not touch the flickering candlelight.
Wei Zhuo led Chen Shuixin and walked from the inside out. Finally, the two of them worked together to push open the bronze door and returned to their era ten thousand years later.
The people from Li Village who were guarding outside the Bronze Gate quickly got up and informed the clan leader, who quickly rushed over.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you are back!" The clan leader moved his gaze behind Wei Zhuo, wanting to see if anyone else was there.
Wei Zhuo said, "The witch and I left separately!" They didn't happen to come back together.
The clan leader sighed. Of course he knew the inside story. The witch had told him everything. However, it was going to be a month in a few days and Wei Zhuo was back. Why hadn't Li Huan returned yet? He was very anxious.
But it was useless to think too much. He once again led Wei Zhuo and Chen Shuixin to the place where they originally lived. This was also the witch's intention. They could only be let go after the next witch from Li Village came out of the forbidden area.
On the way, Chen Shuixin asked casually, "Chief, are there any other small villages near here?"
The clan leader was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand why Chen Shuixin would ask this question. He subconsciously replied, "Ours is the only village left in this area!"
Chen Shuixin glanced at Wei Zhuo and continued to ask, "Huh? What about Gou Village? Liu Village? Where have they gone?"
The clan leader was even more puzzled. Suddenly his eyes widened, as if he thought of something, and finally said, "The Gouzhai clan was exterminated thousands of years ago, and the Liu clan moved further inside a thousand years ago! This area
We are the only ones left in Li Village!"
The reason why Li Village did not move is also very simple. Their family wanted to protect the bronze gate.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the place where they were staying, the clan leader said very kindly, "Before the witch entered the forbidden area, she once told me that if you leave the forbidden area before her, please be sure to keep two Taoist friends until she leaves the forbidden area."
The patriarch's eyes were fixed on Wei Zhuo. Wei Zhuo was the person in charge between them, and he had the final say in most things!
Wei Zhuo worked so hard just to get the pieces of the Sky Cauldron from the people of Li Village. How could he leave so easily when he didn't see the returning witch?!
He naturally nodded and stayed.
The clan leader took a deep breath. At least Wei Zhuo stayed here voluntarily, otherwise he would still be worrying about how to force people to stay!
Li Village thousands of years ago.
Li Wen asked calmly, "Did you watch them go in?"
The patriarch replied, "Yes! They seem to be?" They have extraordinary origins.
However, Li Wen stopped what the clan leader wanted to say next, "We only need to defend Li Village. There is no need to ask too much about other things and people! Asking too much will only cause trouble."
The clan leader struggled for a moment, but he still listened to the witch's words. After all, the witch was the only person in the entire Li village who had entered the forbidden area, so she naturally knew their origins. If she didn't want to tell them, forget it.
He then asked, "How are we going to deal with the people in Gouzhai and Liuzhai after they leave?!"
Li Wen asked in surprise, "What are you telling me?! They are leaving, can we stop them?" She turned her head and glanced at the shelf behind her and said, "That treasure has been taken away by them a long time ago! I
Don't force things that don't belong to our southwest territory."
The patriarch nodded. He had already determined in his heart that how could a person who got a treasure let it go so easily? Of course it was taken away!
Later, when I met people from Gouzhai and Liuzhai, he said the same thing!
Thousands of years later.
Wei Zhuo and Chen Shuixin didn't have to wait long. On the last day of the one-month period, Li Huan stumbled open the bronze door and came back.
However, Li Huan was much worse than them. He was covered in blood, seriously injured, and almost lost his life, so he went to retreat directly.
Wei Zhuo also provided Li Huan with several bottles of healing elixirs.
It was not until half a month later that Li Huan came out of seclusion. At this time, her cultivation had greatly increased, and her cultivation was stable at the early stage of Nascent Soul.
The first thing she did when she came out of seclusion was to ask the clan leader to invite Wei Zhuo and Chen Shuixin.
Walking into the witch's cabin again, Chen Shuixin felt like she was in another world!
After they sat down, Li Huan took a deep look at Wei Zhuo, took out a piece of scrap metal from the corner of the shelf behind her and handed it to Wei Zhuo, "No, this is what you want!"
"I didn't expect you to actually do it! You also convinced her to pass on a message from generation to generation." This "she" naturally refers to the witch Li Wen who lived thousands of years ago.
Chen Shuixin stared at the fragment with wide eyes. It was back in Wei Zhuo's hands again. It felt so sour and refreshing! It turned out that it could really be done! Her mind was spinning.
But Wei Zhuo seemed much calmer. He had long been convinced that there would be no problem with the fragment placed in the hands of the Li Village witch.
"Thank you!" Wei Zhuo thanked him sincerely, "As for the problems you encounter, I will send someone to solve them! I can always ensure that your Li Village will be worry-free for thousands of years!"
He seemed to mean something and said, "Of course, if Li Village wants to survive forever, the most important thing is that you can stand up!"
"Maybe it's time for you to send more people out for a walk!"
Li Huan rejected Wei Zhuo's proposal, "Do you know how Gou Village was exterminated? Gou Village was twice the size of our Li Village. The people in their village went out to the southwest to experience a circle, but in the end they were killed.
He combined with the foreign tribes to destroy Gouzhai with the power of thunder!"
Wei Zhuo paused, and Chen Shuixin's eyes widened. Good guy, Gou Qing from ten thousand years ago knew this and couldn't instruct the ten-meter-long centipede to kill the people of his own clan who were colluding with foreign clans?! He chased the people of foreign clans for thousands of miles.
?!
Wei Zhuo did not continue to persuade, every ethnic group has its own way to continue! There is no need for others to question it!
He just said, "We'll bother you for one more day, and we'll leave tomorrow!"
Li Huan nodded, "It doesn't matter!"
After Li Huan went to the forbidden area with her master Li Lan, she became mature. Before entering the forbidden area, she disliked Wei Zhuo very much, thinking that Wei Zhuo caused her master to enter the forbidden area early and die early.
But after she left for a while, she found that her master had long been heartbroken and that he stayed here only for her.
Otherwise, he should have returned home long ago!
Chen Shuixin, who returned to his residence, asked, "We have obtained the fragments that fell on the southwest boundary, shall we go to the Northland next? But before going to the Northland, let's go to Kuncheng to pick up my little disciple first!"
Wei Zhuo shook his head and said, "The fragment in the North is hidden deep in a secret realm. It will take fifty years for the secret realm to be opened! Let's take Cheng Yue back to Huayang Sect first!"
"You can also take advantage of this period of time to teach Cheng Yue well!"
