About seven years have passed since Jiang Tian came back from the Secret Realm of Qixue. The twelve-year-old boy who entered the Immortal Sect has grown into a twenty-five-year-old man.
In the past seven years, Jiang Tian experienced the Secret Realm of Strange Learning, the Taoism Forum in Zhongzhou, the disaster of Shengyang, and traveled to several places such as the East China Sea and the State of Yu.
He has experienced many things, met bad people, and met good people. The most important thing is that Jiang Tian got to know many interesting people!
It can be said that without the stimulation and encouragement of these people to help Jiang Tian, Jiang Tian would not be what he is today.
Looking at the village in front of him! Jiang Tian completely relaxed from the bottom of his heart and relieved himself of the fatigue. Only Jiang Tian would feel this way when he looked at his hometown. It was a long-lost feeling.
Jiang Tian slowly recalled the past events, so this time Jiang Tian did not use the power of his soul and spiritual power, but slowly walked towards the village from a distance.
A wanderer who has not returned for a long time brings his first memories with him through the familiar path leading to the village, as well as the mountains in the distance and the rivers and trees nearby.
At this time, the leaves of some trees were gradually turning yellow and falling. A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a hint of coolness. Jiang Tian looked at the quiet village in the distance.
Not knowing what his parents were doing or how his fellow villagers were doing, Jiang Tian walked a lot faster as he thought about it.
As Jiang Tian approached, Jiang Tian found that the village seemed a little too quiet now. It stands to reason that now is the busy farming season, and the villagers should also be busy.
But when Jiang Tian walked to the village, he still didn't see a single figure. Jiang Tian vaguely felt that something was wrong, so Jiang Tian released the power of his soul to observe in Jiangjia Village.
After Jiang Tian sensed it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, because under Jiang Tian's sense, although Jiangjia Village still looked like a village from the outside, the corridors of the village and the courtyards where the villagers lived were all overgrown with weeds.
Is this still the village in my memory?
Jiang Tian also found some houses that seemed to have been attacked, with pots and pans scattered randomly on the ground.
There is no one in the village. What happened in Jiangjia Village? Jiang Tian’s brain was buzzing at this time!
"Why is it like this! Where are the people in the village?" Jiang Tian thought in his heart.
"No! Stay calm. Maybe the village encountered some irresistible danger. Maybe Jiang Fan took everyone away and moved away!"
Jiang Tian couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart, but Jiang Tian's figure flashed and came to his home. Several other families looked at it, and it seemed that they didn't take anything away.
The people in the village seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Jiang Tian's figure kept flashing and he searched all the places in the village but found nothing.
Just as Jiang Tian's figure flashed back and forth in the village, this scene happened to fall in the eyes of a black-feathered bird on a tree next to the village.
In a deep mountain not far from Jiangjia Village, there was also a little bird with black feathers, and then it flew towards a cave and chirped at a figure in the cave.
I saw this figure, and the whole body was shrouded in black mist. After hearing the chirping of birds next to me, as this figure withdrew his power, the black mist around him was instantly sucked into the body by this figure.
Then he raised his hand, and the black-feathered bird flew directly on the person's palm. The person used his spiritual power to enter the mind of the black-feathered bird and murmured.
said.
"Did that person finally come back? He actually escaped from that sect battle!"
"My dear disciple, how about this Black Nightmare Bird? This bird's hiding ability is very strong, but I said you have been waiting here for so many years for this person. Is that the case?"
Just after this figure made a sound, a voice sounded in this person's mind.
"Hehe! Master, this Black Nightmare Bird is indeed a good thing. It saves me from waiting all the time."
"Isn't that the man who showed up? I thought he died in that battle, but I didn't expect him to survive. Then his life is mine!"
"I really don't know why you are so persistent. Because of this person, in this place where birds don't shit, your practice progress has been slowed down a lot! If you had followed what I said before, which places you went to, your practice progress would have been slowed down a lot.
I think we will be able to make another breakthrough long ago!”
"Master! If I don't deal with this person, I always feel that something is missing, and my practice will not go smoothly! As long as I deal with this person this time, I will go to several places to practice hard!"
"But I didn't come here in vain. I actually found this thing here. It seems that this place was also a battlefield in the past. Although this thing is missing something, how are you doing with that thing now?"
"I just followed the method you gave me, master, and finished 70% of the sacrifice. It's still a little short of a complete sacrifice, but it can already be used!"
"let me see!"
I saw this man take out a sword that was more than three feet long from the storage bag. The sword was shaped like the body of a poisonous snake, the entire sword was curved, and the hilt was shaped like a snake's head.
It is inlaid with what looks like two red gems, like the eyes of a poisonous snake, glowing with a strange red light, which makes people feel chills running down their spines just by looking at it.
"Not bad! Not bad! Although it has only been refined 70%, the power of this blood snake sword is probably as powerful as your human race's spiritual weapons!"
"After this matter is completed, you must go to those places as soon as possible! In this way, your cultivation level can continue to improve faster."
"I understand, Master!"
After the monk finished communicating with the voice in his mind, he put away the black nightmare bird next to him. After tidying up for a while, he walked outside!
…
Jiang Tian couldn't believe that there was no one in such a good village. Jiang Tian then used his flying sword to visit the surrounding villages and found that several of them were the same, but in those villages
, there are many bones scattered in various places in the village.
After Jiang Tian finally discovered an inhabited village, he prepared to go into the village to inquire. When Jiang Tian just arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw some villagers holding hoes, axes and wooden forks looking at Jiang Tian with hostility.
"Don't move! Are you a human or a monster?"
Jiang Tian looked at these villagers like this. Even though the village had encountered some troubles before, he would spontaneously organize some young and strong people to defend the village.
But why did the other party say the word "monster"!
"I'm not a monster! I just passed by here and wanted to inquire about some things. I am originally from Jiangjiangjia Village not far away. Because I went to other places with my relatives when I was young, now I finally come back!"
"But I found that there was no one in the village. I was worried about my family's safety, so I came here to inquire about some news about Jiangjiacun!"
Jiang Tian looked at the group of vigilant villagers and said.
After Jiang Tian spoke, he saw an old man walking over tremblingly with the support of two young people.
"You said you are from Jiangjia Village. How dare you ask your elder's real name?"
"When I was a child, the clan leader was named Jiang Dongxu, and the other two clan elders were named Jiang Donglai and Jiang Dongqu!"
After Jiang Tian heard what the old man said, he replied one by one.
"Dong Xu, Dong Lai, Dong Qu - that's right, it seems you grew up in Jiangjiacun, please come in quickly!"
"Tietou! Let this young man come in quickly! He is not a monster! We all met those clan elders when I was young!"
After hearing this, the old man muttered the names of the three clan elders, and then said to a young man who took the lead in guarding the village.
"Got it! Grandpa!"
A young man quickly moved the fences protecting the village to both sides with the people around him, and Jiang Tian entered the village surrounded by everyone.
After chatting with the villagers and clan elders in this village, Jiang Tiancai found out that there had been some wild beast attacks three years ago, and since then, some monsters had transformed into humans and sneaked into the village to steal food.
Women and children.
The villagers were also frightened by these monsters, so the previous scene happened.
When Jiang Tian asked about Jiangjia Village, the clan elder sighed and said that this matter should start with the beast attack on the village three years ago.
Jiangjiacun was the hardest-hit area. At first, each village could still resist the attacks of these beasts, but for some reason, the attacks of the beasts became more and more serious, and monsters actually appeared among these beasts.
So the disappearance of the population in those villages may also be related to the wild beast attack, when it comes to Jiangjia Village.
The clan elder also seemed a little surprised, because several other villages still had bones after being attacked by wild beasts.
However, in Jiangjia Village, no one was seen after the wild beast attack. It seemed as if the entire village disappeared out of thin air.
After Jiang Tian heard what the clan elder said, the clan elder also felt Jiang Tian's emotions and comforted him.
"No one can control natural and man-made disasters, birth, old age, illness and death. In this world, living well is the responsibility you owe to your family!"
After Jiang Tian inquired about the good news in this village, he said goodbye to the villagers. When leaving, the patriarch still comforted Jiang Tian repeatedly.
After Jiang Tian left, he prepared to go to Muyang City. It happened that his brother, sister and uncle were also there, so he could ask them about Jiangjia Village.
When Jiang Tian arrived in Muyang City, he discovered that his brother, sister and uncle's family were not here. He asked some people living in the surrounding area and heard that the family had never come back after a trip three years ago.
After Jiang Tian asked for the specific time, the time when his brother, sister and uncle left happened to coincide with the time of the wild beast attack in Jiangjia Village!
Jiang Tian unknowingly walked in Muyang City and came to the place where Dr. Sun opened a medical clinic. He happened to see Dr. Sun. Although Dr. Sun was old, he still looked rosy and energetic.
, a typical sign of longevity.
But at this time, in front of Dr. Sun, there was a half-year-old boy who looked very smart and was running around! Sometimes he even asked Dr. Sun about some knowledge about medicinal materials.
After Dr. Sun heard this, he also taught him patiently. When Jiang Tian saw this scene, he seemed to see Dr. Sun leading him to learn.
After Jiang Tian planned to investigate clearly, he would come back and take a good look at Dr. Sun. Dr. Sun treated him very well in those years.
When Jiang Tian left here, Dr. Sun seemed to have a premonition and hurriedly walked towards the medical center, as if he was looking for something.
"Master! What's wrong?" A young man of half an age followed Dr. Sun out in a hurry and asked.
"It's nothing! It's nothing! Maybe it's because I'm old and my eyesight is dazzled!"
…
When Jiang Tian returned to a place called Wushan City, which was very close to Jiangjiacun, because Jiang Tian remembered the last time he captured bandits, Jiang Fan was attracted by the government here and worked as a detective here.
But when Jiang Tian asked about Jiang Fan, the same thing happened. Because of a wild beast attack in Jiangjia Village, Jiang Fan took leave three years ago and went back, but he never came back.
After some investigation, Jiang Tian returned to Jiangjia Village and looked at the village in front of him. It looked so familiar, yet so strange.
The village that used to be so lively, now the people inside are missing!
