Chapter 1466 An ancient village in an ancient country where the law of time flows backwards
The people present were all masters of spiritual practice. The journey down the mountain was not difficult for everyone. The biggest problem was actually "running to death while looking up the mountain".
After seven days of trekking, during which I experienced dangerous places such as the Corpse Walkway, the Ghost Forest, and the Sea of Flower Bones, I finally entered the ancient country without any danger and met the first small village.
To be more precise, it should be an ancient stone village. The entire village is built of stone, and a small stone wall is built with clay outside the village.
Many neat fields have been reclaimed outside the ancient village of Shitou. The paddy fields are filled with rice seedlings and there are obvious traces of human activities.
paddy fields.
Transplanting rice seedlings.
From this we can deduce that the weather is probably in April and May.
"That's weird. Do ghosts still grow food and eat rice?"
"Why do I feel that something is wrong in this Stone Village? I only see rice seedlings in the fields, but no people planting rice seedlings. There is not even a shadow of a ghost."
As mentioned above, the fields outside Shitou Village are indeed too peaceful. Apart from the green seedlings, there is not a single person busy in farming.
There is a vast flat land in front of you. You can see all the disturbances at a glance. There is no place to hide anyone.
"What do you think, fellow Taoist Jin'an?" Taoist Zhanmu looked at Jin'an, hoping that Jin'an could give everyone a suggestion.
Only Jin An here has seen the ancient country with his own eyes and has some understanding of the situation in the ancient country.
Jin An did not answer immediately. He lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "The ancient country I saw at the Widow's Manor that day was just a short-lived mirage. I don't know much more than everyone else."
"but……"
Jin An seemed to have thought of some details and added: "But that day I saw a lot of people in the ancient city. It was as prosperous as the capital city in the world. It was definitely not this deserted scene."
"Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord, have you seen where the people are hiding?" Everyone turned their attention to the statue of Thousand-Eyed Dao Lord.
Thousands of eyes on the body's surface blinked and shimmered. The Thousand-Eyed Daojun statue stared at it for a while and then said in surprise: "It's so strange. There is not a single villager in this ancient stone village."
The thousand-mile vision of the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue can see farther and more clearly than a living person in the mist of the underworld.
If even the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue hadn't noticed anything unusual behind the mist, if it were them, the result wouldn't be much better.
After lying dormant for another half a day, we saw that Shitou Ancient Village had been peaceful and could not find any flaws. After a brief discussion, everyone decided to go into the village to have a look.
At first, the idea was to divide the team into two groups, one group going into the village to check, and the other group staying outside the village, so that there would be an emergency response in case of an emergency.
But in the end we decided to go to the village together.
We have gone so deep into the Taoist Yellow Courtyard, and if we encounter an unexpected situation that cannot be solved, it means that we have reached a critical moment, and it is meaningless to act separately. We should simply act together from the beginning to avoid spreading our strength.
After making up their mind, everyone began to enter the village carefully.
Several pseudo-fourth realm powerful men took the lead and the rear, with real people Jin An and Qing Xi supporting them in the middle.
Although Shitou Ancient Village has many primitive and ancient meanings, it is not desolate at all. There are traces of human activities everywhere, such as the front door is clean, the roof has signs of new renovation, the well in the courtyard is clear and there is no smell of debris...
The blame lies here.
They searched the entire Stone Ancient Village but could not find a single villager, or in other words, not a single ghost.
"Strange, strange." Master Xuanlei muttered every time he inspected a house.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, is the ancient country you saw really as prosperous as the capital city in the underworld?" After inspecting the entire village, everyone looked at Jin'an.
Jin An didn't think for too long and nodded firmly.
At this time, there were dark clouds coming from the sky, strong winds, and the black whirlwind unique to the underworld was blowing towards the Stone Ancient Village. Everyone temporarily put aside their doubts and found a place to take shelter from the wind.
When the black cyclone ended, it was already half a day later. The doors, windows and roofs of all the buildings were blown off, half of the houses collapsed, and the remaining houses that did not collapse were covered with shoe prints, just like a messy scene after Yin soldiers took the road.
The rice seedling farmland outside Shitou Ancient Village was almost completely destroyed, and there is no doubt that there will be no harvest this year.
"The environment in the Taoist Yellow Courtyard is so bad. There are always black cyclones and yellow cyclones natural disasters. How do the people of this ancient country survive?"
"If such a method of destroying fields and houses were to be placed in the world of heaven, the country would have been destroyed long ago."
All I can say is that this ancient country is weird and weird, with weirdness everywhere.
These are still secondary. The most important thing is, where have the villagers gone?
"The prosperity of the ancient country I saw was a huge city."
Jin An looked at the messy scene in front of him, frowned, and then continued: "Afterwards, I consulted Fatty Li from the Criminal Investigation Department. When he stayed at the tomb of the Imperial Master, the ancient country he saw was also a huge city."
"It seems that if we want to find the answer, we can only go to the ancient city to find the answer."
Fortunately, the ancient city was not far away. They had seen a corner of the ancient city when they were on the top of the mountain. The geographical location of this ancient stone village was equivalent to the suburbs of the city.
That's why when they stood on the top of the mountain, they felt emotional, and their relationship with the owner of the bronze coffin became deeper!
While resting and discussing, another two hours passed, and suddenly, a sudden change occurred, catching everyone off guard.
They saw the ruins under their feet being pieced together completely like the law of time. All the ruins followed the law of time and flowed backwards. From the doors and windows of houses to the seedlings on the fields, they were restored to their original state in just a few breaths.
What it was like when they came, and how the Stone Ancient Village has been restored.
The most incredible thing is that they saw with their own eyes the bricks, tiles and beams they stepped on flew up into the air, and they saw their bodies unsteady and falling backwards. They also watched private houses rise from the ground.
Feeling the physical touch under your feet, everything in front of you is not an illusion of ghosts covering your eyes, but the real law of time rewinding.
"It's the law of time!"
"I didn't expect that this ancient country is actually related to the law of time going back!"
Surprises came and went.
No matter how many ancient scriptures or religious artifacts there are, they cannot stop the cycle of time and disappear in the waves of one era after another.
In this world, only time is eternal.
Whoever masters the law of time has mastered the art of immortality.
"Could it be that the hidden opportunities in the Huangting interior of the Taoist family are related to the law of time?" As soon as these words came out, people were excited, there were many discussions, and the enthusiasm was unquenchable.
"The most important thing at the moment is to first find out the laws of time and reincarnation here. How often is reincarnation?" Master Chi Yuan said thoughtfully.
Taoist Zhanmu: "It is important to find out the laws of time and reincarnation, and it is also important to go to the giant city of the ancient country to look for clues. Fellow Taoist Jin'an, has the position of the remains of the national master never changed?"
Taoist Zhanmu looked at Jin An.
Jin'an once again took out the Luogeng jade plate and divined a divination. The position of the imperial master's body never changed and always pointed to the direction of the giant city of the ancient country.
Jin An nodded first, and then put forward his suggestion: "We can let the Thousand-Eyed Taoist Statue leave a spiritual eye to find the law of reincarnation. At the same time, we continue to go to the ancient city to find the remains of the national master, so
All three clues have not been missed.”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone agreed.
