In fact, this is not the first time for Xia Po to come here to the Tianjing, but it has been a long time since he last came here. As a result, he basically has no impression of this place. He just remembers that there is a very big one here.
well.
This is no longer a fringe area of the world of cultivation. There are many third-rate sects nearby, but despite this, there are still a lot of mortals here who don't know that there is such a thing as a monk.
There are basically only two types of mortals in the world of cultivation.
One type lives in towns and coexists with monks, and the other type lives in very remote places, in very small villages, and is unlikely to see monks in this life, so naturally
The concept of a monk is very vague.
Therefore, it is easy to be targeted by some demonic cultivators, because some demonic cultivators and demonic cultivators need to sacrifice mortals to help them practice.
By sacrificing the mortals in these small villages, not only can they achieve their own goals, but they are also less likely to be discovered by the righteous sects. This is simply killing two birds with one stone.
As for Tianjing, how should I put it, it can be regarded as a place between a village and a town.
The area here is actually very large, but the problem is that the mortals living in this area are all scattered, and there are countless small villages around it.
Due to the terrain and the technological level of the cultivation world, there is very little communication between these villages, and they basically just play their own games.
After all, this is the world of cultivation, any mountain is too big, and the transportation is really inconvenient.
This has resulted in these villages having very little understanding of the outside world, and their level of civilization is even inferior to that of the mortal world, let alone their understanding of the ways of demons and monsters.
It is estimated that any ordinary monk they meet can be made a god by them.
Perhaps it is because of these reasons that this place is likely to be targeted by demonic cultivators.
After all, if a demon with a similar level of cultivation reaches here, not only will it not be eliminated, but it is very likely that it will be enshrined as a god-like existence.
The three of them, Xia Po, had already reached the foundation building stage, so they quickly arrived at the patio by flying with their swords.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a patio, because this well is really big and deep, but now it looks like it is completely dry.
And it is said that there was a city here thousands of years ago, called Tianjing City. At that time, the patio had not dried up yet, and there was water in it. To a certain extent, it was not ordinary water.
Genuine spiritual water!
Therefore, there were still many monks in Tianjing City at that time, and it was said that there were also relatively good cultivation families. The reason why Xia Po had an impression of Tianjing was probably because he had been here during that time.
But later, due to unknown reasons, the spiritual energy here became weak, and the patio dried up. Everything was submerged in history, and only a few ruins next to the patio were left to tell the story of the former prosperity of this place.
Looking at this dry well, Xia Po could only feel the power of time. Whether it was this patio or the patio city that was once here, they were just a speck of dust in the long river of history.
Only he can watch everything silently from the side and participate from time to time.
"Do you think it is possible for the demon cultivator to hide under this patio?"
After staring at the well for a long time, Xia Po smiled and said jokingly to the other two people.
In the end, he said this casually, and Xinchen took it seriously.
"I think it's very possible. Look at how deep this well is. If I were a demon cultivator, I would definitely hide in it!"
After saying that, he looked at He Feng and said, "Sister He Feng, do you want to take a look with your spiritual eyes?"
In response to his words, He Feng only gave him a stupid expression.
"How deep is this courtyard? Not to mention my spiritual eyes, even if the Yuanying is so powerful, using the supernatural eyes of the Yuanying stage, I guess there won't be any clues."
"Not to mention any demonic cultivators who would be hiding down there, just saying that the demonic cultivators who have the ability to hide below must have golden elixirs if they are not Nascent Souls, right? With such level of cultivation, who would be willing to hide in such a dark place?
In a deep well?"
"By the way, did you know anything about this place before you came here? You don't really think that the demon cultivators are as stupid as you and are waiting for you to check them out? With people like you, you may die one day because of your carelessness.
do you know?"
He Feng's words completely left Xinchen speechless. All he could think about was the demon cultivator. As for what was going on in the courtyard, he had not investigated carefully.
In response, Xia Po just nodded slightly.
What He Feng said is indeed reasonable. Xinchen has always been blinded by his hatred for the demon cultivator, so much so that he can only think of the demon cultivator when he looks at it.
This time when I came to investigate the news about the demon cultivator, all I could think about was finding and killing the demon cultivator, and I did not investigate everything here.
If this continues, he will definitely suffer big losses one day in the future.
It was really not unfair to be lectured like this by He Feng.
That was all. The key was that He Feng kept talking on the sidelines, almost saying that Xinchen deserved to lose his memory because of the magic cultivator.
Seeing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Xia Po immediately smiled and said.
"Okay, it's just a joke. Don't hurt your friendship. We spent a lot of time on the road. It's better to go to the surrounding villages to inquire about the situation for further investigation."
Xia Po's words are still very useful. After all, no matter how easy-going he is, he is still their two senior brothers and the person with the highest cultivation level.
So as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them didn't say much and started walking in the same direction.
Seeing the two in such a state, Xia Po could only shake his head and sigh.
"Today's young people."
After sighing, he looked at the patio again, and the light in his eyes became deeper.
After a moment, he didn't say anything, but with a slight look of disdain on his face, he turned around and followed Xin Chen and He Feng away.
It wasn't until he was far away that a huge shadow appeared in the patio.
The shadow disappeared in a flash, as if it had never appeared before, and the patio returned to peace.
I have to say that although He Feng usually behaves so carelessly, she is still a woman and works more delicately.
I read the overview of this mission many times before coming here, and planned everything on the way here.
Now that I started to take action, I didn't want to run around like a headless fly. I led Xia Po and the two of them to a village directly.
"This is Ruyi Village. I heard that it was a very large village a few decades ago with a large number of mortals. In just a few decades, it has become what it is now. There is definitely something wrong."
Xinchen seemed to have listened to what He Feng said just now. He did not enter the village rashly, but began to look at the village.
It is said to be a village. In fact, in terms of area alone, it is about the same size as a county in the mortal world, but in the world of cultivation, this is a village.
After looking around, his impression of this place was just four words: lifeless.
It was just lifeless, the whole village seemed to be shrouded in a gray filter, and the mortals were also lifeless, but nothing unusual could be seen.
"Why does it always feel a little weird here? Isn't it as simple as it seems?"
He Feng had been using her spiritual eyes to discern something. At this time, a green light flashed in her eyes. After the light disappeared, her brows furrowed.
"The men in this village are more or less weak. Although the women are not abnormal, the strange thing is that there are very few women."
“If there are few women, how can men be weak?”
Xinchen and Xia Po were shocked at the same time.
He Feng: "..."
"Okay, just look at it like this. You two can see what is ghost. You should pretend to be a mortal and go into the village to find out. Remember, you must be low-key and low-key, and never reveal your identity as a monk.
To avoid being noticed by the demon cultivator."
After Xia Po finished speaking, he took out a storage bag, took out a few pieces of mortal clothes and threw them to the two of them.
Then the expression on his face became serious and he spoke calmly.
"I'm not joking with you. No matter what impression you had of demon cultivators, you must be very alert now. If you are not careful, you may lose your life!"
Both He Feng and Xin Chen knew that Xia Po's whole family was wiped out by the demon sect when he was a child, and unlike Xin Chen, he saw the demon cultivator kill all his family members with his own eyes, so he knew the demon cultivator's methods best.
They didn't dare not listen to Xia Po's words. After quickly changing their clothes, they followed Xia Po and prepared to enter the village.
