The old man with innate cultivation in front of him has been here for decades. Judging from the aging population of the 'village', most people probably came here in the same batch...
Thoughts flickered, Yun Jing said thoughtfully: "Old man, I know how evil the illusion outside is. Of course I know it all the way. You just said that people have occasionally come here over the years. People who come here
They must not be willing to be trapped here, and they must have tried to leave, so how can they be sure that those who entered the illusion and tried to leave died in it instead of leaving?"
This is a place worth considering.
I couldn't be more clear about the illusion of cloud scenery. When I was in it, my six senses were distorted and I couldn't see reality with the naked eye. Indeed, there were many bones left by the dead in the illusion, but how did this old man confirm those who wanted to leave?
Did he die inside instead of leaving?
He personally saw those who entered the illusion and wanted to leave died in it?
It doesn’t make sense logically!
While talking, Yunjing was also looking at the 'village' in the center of this deep illusion without any trace, and gradually discovered some unusual places.
Hearing Yun Jing's question, the old man's eyes flashed, and he immediately said with a smile: "Young man, you are very smart, but what I want to say is that sometimes being too smart is not a good thing..."
Having said this, the old man paused and continued: "Since you are so smart, I won't beat around the bush with you. In fact, you shouldn't be so smart. Let me tell you this, over the years, I have come here by chance.
People, who is willing to be trapped here for the rest of their lives? They all want to enter the illusion and leave and return to the outside world, but such people are dead and killed by 'us'!"
"You are so smart, you must be thinking that the illusion is so weird and distorts the six senses. How can we kill people who want to leave as long as they enter the illusion? After all, we ourselves will be affected by the illusion..."
"Because you have lived here long enough, and over the decades, you can always figure out some of the conditions in the illusion around you. Therefore, those who want to leave cannot escape your pursuit even if they enter the illusion. On the contrary, it is because you are familiar with the illusion.
"It's easier for you to kill people in the illusion, am I right?" Yun Jing interrupted the other party.
At this time, what Yunjing was thinking about was not the politeness of interrupting the old man, but his words that let Yunjing know that 'they', including this old man, didn't want people to leave!
After a slight pause, the old man smiled and said: "Yes, that's right. We have been here for decades. Over the decades, we have learned something about the surrounding illusion. We don't want people to leave, because they will never be able to leave!"
"
"...Young man, you are very smart, but it's a pity. Originally, you should have known this after living here for a while, but who told you to be too smart? It's better to know in advance, so you don't have to worry about it in the future.
Live your life here with peace of mind, don't think about leaving, you will die, we will not allow latecomers like you to leave, at least until we allow it!"
"You can only leave with your permission, otherwise you will kill the person who wants to leave, right?" Yunjing asked, not taking the other party's threats and warnings too seriously. He wanted to leave and they couldn't keep him.
You can't stop them just by flying away!
At the same time, Yunjing became more and more curious about these people. Why didn't they let people leave? But it wasn't absolutely that they needed their permission to leave.
Nodding, the old man said calmly: "Yes, we can leave only with our permission, otherwise we will die. This cannot be changed. Even if 'we' want to leave, we will die until the last person is alive!"
"To tell you the truth, we came here decades ago, with nearly a thousand people in total. Over the past few decades, there are always some people who can't help but want to leave. Those people are all dead, because we killed each other!"
You must have something really wrong. You won’t let anyone leave, and you will kill everyone who wants to leave, even if they are your own people...
"Why?" Yunjing asked confused.
The old man's eyes narrowed and he said seriously: "Secret!"
"???" Yunjing didn't understand.
Looking at Yun Jing who was stunned and confused, the old man said with a smile: "Young man, it is a matter of confidentiality. It is better not to know what you shouldn't know. It will not be good for you and will lead to death. Next, follow me
Let's go, settle down in the village, and live here peacefully from now on. Don't think too much, life is still long, I warn you again, don't think about leaving, you will die!"
The old man has a kind face and kind eyes, just like the old man next door, but the words he speaks contain an unquestionable flavor and make people feel chilled in their hearts.
"Since you said, old man, that the reason why people who come here are not allowed to leave is confidential and you told me not to know, I won't ask. Then what I want to know is, when will you be allowed to leave? And, when you allow
How can we ensure that we can leave smoothly?" Yunjing continued to ask, keeping up with the old man's pace.
After a pause, the old man said in a complex tone: "I don't know, we don't know when we are allowed to leave, and we don't know how to leave."
I don’t know anything, and I must be living in confusion...
With thoughts flickering in his mind, Yun Jing suddenly asked: "Old man, you can't reveal too much to me because of your low status, right?"
"Yes, young man, you are really smart, but it's a pity. When you come here, I'm afraid you will never be able to return to the outside world. Live well here. There are some girls in the 'village' now. With your appearance, I want to come and ask for you."
It’s not difficult for a daughter-in-law to settle here,” the old man sighed.
From his words, Yun Jing analyzed that 'they' were not killing innocent people indiscriminately, and they had their own reasons for not letting people leave.
Gradually, the two of them approached the village chief one after another. Someone there had already noticed Yunjing, a new outsider. They were looking at him curiously from a distance, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They seemed to be used to it, except for
Several children watched from a distance, but no one took the cloud scenery too seriously.
After thinking about it, Yunjing continued to ask the old man who was leading the way: "Old man, you don't let people leave because of a so-called secret, but your identity does not allow you to reveal too much to me, so who should I ask for more information?
How much? After all, according to you, whether I can leave requires your permission. I have to understand the truth. It is not a problem for me to be 'imprisoned' here by you in such a confused way, don't you think so?"
"That's right, come with me. I'll take you to see the 'village chief'. He can only make the decision. Besides, you have to live here, and I have to give you a piece of land to support yourself.
It needs to be arranged by the 'village chief', and it is necessary to take you to see him." The old man nodded, and then led Yunjing to the center of the village.
When passing by a simple courtyard, a strong man chopping firewood put down his axe, looked at Yun Jing and grinned: "Hey, such a good-looking young man has come this year. That young man, let's live a good life when he comes."
, don’t think about leaving, let alone whether you have the luck to return to the outside world after entering the illusion. They don’t allow it. People will really die. I have been here for more than ten years and I have seen at least ten people want to leave. In the end
They are all dead, some were killed by them, and some were killed by the beasts inside after entering the illusion. I can’t go back. Just live in peace. Anyway, I have accepted my fate. It’s a pity that there are too few women here. I
I haven’t found a wife yet, but now every man looks pretty and handsome. It’s a bit dangerous for you to come here and be so good-looking, hehe..."
"Uncle, did you also enter here by mistake?" Yunjing looked at the other party curiously and spoke to him.
This place is isolated from the world, there are more men than women, and some people look at me with "unkind" eyes... Damn it, the chrysanthemums in the cloud scene are tight.
Such an environment can easily breed perversion.
"No, I have been here for more than ten years. I used to be known as the Little Overlord of Xianyang City in the outside world. But after so many years, I have long been forgotten by the world. Now I don't think about anything else. I just want to come when
If a woman likes me and starts a family with me, or wait until all those old guys are dead, I will have the opportunity to try and leave." The strong man grinned.
Then Yunjing wanted to say something to him, but the other party ignored him, chopping firewood with red eyes as if facing an enemy, and gnashing his teeth in an extremely ferocious manner.
This person already has psychological problems.
Thinking about it, after being trapped here for more than ten years, there will always be only such a small world. It is already very difficult for people not to go crazy.
Perhaps because of the strong man, the old man who brought Yunjing back to the village reminded: "This young man, you will live here in the future. There are a few people I have to remind you. Don't provoke them if you have nothing to do. They have bad tempers."
Okay, the strong man just now can barely count, and there is also the fisherman by the river over there. Although he is honest and honest, he is a ruthless person. He was once bullied in the outside world because of his sister, and he killed more than a hundred people in a row.
Mouth, was chased and had no choice but to break into the illusion and came here by chance. Now in the late stage of congenital life, he went crazy and gave people a headache. And over there, in the west corner, there lived a woman who was the daughter of the leader of the Tyrant Sword Sect in the outside world.
She is also in the late Xiantian stage of cultivation. Because there are more men than women in this place, she looks at any man as if he has ill intentions towards her. Anyone who comes ten steps closer will become her target. She has been here for almost ten years and died.
There are no less than twenty people in her hands, and the one digging in the fields over there used to be a womanizer, but now there are not many women here. He doesn't even let men go. You have to be careful at night not to be taken advantage of, and
..., In short, many people here are abnormal, so don’t mess with them. No matter how these people are, as long as they don’t want to leave, we won’t care.”
The old man who led the way counted more than ten noteworthy people in detail. After listening, Yunjing said that this place is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Except for the group of old people who led the way, all the people who came here have more or less backgrounds and abilities. If you think about it, people without abilities would not be lucky enough to survive through the illusion and come here.
However, under Yunjing's observation, except for those few children, the people here have more or less psychological problems. After all, they are trapped in such a small place. It is strange that they have no psychological problems after a long time.
'Before the old man who led the way and his group arrived decades ago, there were people living here, but not many. After so many years, almost all the former 'natives' have died, and only one or two old people are still alive and dying. Now
The people who call the shots here are the old people who lead the way. Because of some kind of secret, they will not leave here, and they will not allow others to leave here. Therefore, as long as the people here don't want to leave, they will not be too restrictive.
, so why are they unwilling to leave and not allowing others to leave? I hope the answer will be revealed soon...'
With this thought in his mind, Yunjing was led by the old man to the place where the 'village chief' lived.
This is a small farmhouse, and an old man is weaving a bamboo basket slowly.
The 'Village Chief' looks to be in his seventies or eighties, and he is in good spirits. He is one of the real powerhouses that Yun Jing has experienced before. His appearance does not look like a powerhouse at that level, but looks like an old farmer.
"Is someone here again?" the 'village chief' said without raising his head after Yunjing and the others arrived.
The old man leading the way said: "Well, sir, a new person has arrived. How do you think they will be settled?"
"Do I still need to talk about this kind of thing? As usual, just find a place for him to settle, demarcate a piece of land, and explain the rules clearly. How many times have I told you, don't bother me with such trivial matters, what are you guys doing?
I just can’t remember it,” the ‘village chief’ said pouting as he was still weaving the bamboo basket.
The old man who led the way smiled, as if he knew the outcome, but still said: "Sir, this young man wants to know more and why he is not allowed to leave. Do you think...?"
"It's a matter of confidentiality, don't you understand the rules? As long as he doesn't try to leave, don't worry about it," the village chief said displeasedly, without any intention of explaining the reason to Yun Jing.
The old man who led the way was not surprised. He looked at Yun Jing and said, "Young man, let's go. I'll find a place for you to stay. Live a good life in the future. Don't think about the things you have and don't have."
However, Yunjing did not leave. He looked at the 'village chief' and said, "You are Dali soldiers. Am I right?"
As soon as he said these words, the old man who turned around to lead the way stopped and stared at Yun Jing, his eyes revealing nervous expectation and vigilance.
The 'village chief' also stopped weaving baskets, looked up at Yun Jing, looked at him hard, and said word by word: "Who are you!"
As he spoke, the aura of true artistic conception burst out, like a wild beast awakening from the wild. Faced with this terrifying aura, Yunjing's heart tightened and he almost couldn't breathe.
Yunjing had a hunch that if his answer dissatisfied the other party, the other party would definitely kill him without hesitation!
It is not difficult for Yunjing to know their identities. This 'village' is too primitive and there are not many iron tools. But here, many elderly people have cold weapons such as armors, swords and guns in their homes, even if these things have been
It has become a low-end item, but it is still well maintained.
They would rather use primitive tools than fuse them into farm tools.
Especially placed together with the swords, guns and armor, there is also an identity token representing the soldiers of the Dali Dynasty!
The "Zhenbian Army", an army that has disappeared but has not yet removed its designation, actually appears here!
Yun Jing had seen this army before when he was reading a book, but the record was only a few words. This was a veteran of hundreds of battles, with extremely strong fighting power. It guarded the border and fought continuously all year round. However, it suddenly disappeared decades ago and now appears again.
.
Thinking of the 'things' that Pei Mo of the Dajiang Dynasty and his people were looking for, Yunjing had almost figured out many things at this moment. They were probably related to the friction between the Dajiang Dynasty and the Dali Dynasty decades ago. It was very likely that
What Pei Mo is looking for is in their hands...
No, it’s not possible, but it’s really there. Yun Jing has already ‘seen’ it!
"Only one glance", Yun Jing almost vomited blood when he saw that thing and didn't dare to look at it again.
In this way, they appeared here but did not let anyone leave. Yun Jing understood clearly that they were guarding that thing. They had not let anyone leave for decades to prevent the news of that thing from spreading.
.
For this reason, they did not hesitate to build a prison to trap themselves here.
There used to be a lot of them, and there must have been many people who were not willing to trap the beast here forever for an order. Some wanted to leave, but some killed those who wanted to leave in order to protect the secret. Now what is left here is a group of people.
Help the veterans who have always adhered to the order of guarding!
For an order and a mission, they have stuck here for decades. How have they spent these decades? They can't see hope or the future, but they persevere without any regrets.
Veterans will not die, just for the mission of their country and family!
They deserve to be respected from the heart.
'The thing they are guarding is actually a book left by an expert in the Myth Realm. That book actually contains the life-long energy and spirit of an expert in the Myth Realm. I am not even qualified to take a look at the cover. I just glance at it.
I have a splitting headache, as if a scorching sun is exploding in front of my eyes...'
Yunjing had seen the words left by Master Chen inside Chongshou Mountain, and had also spent some time with Master Liu Neng, so Yunjing was no stranger to the aura of the mythical realm.
'Seeing' these things guarded by the border troops, Yunjing recognized them at a glance as being left by an expert in the myth realm.
Decades ago, Dali and Dajiang almost caused a national war, but nothing happened later. Yun Jing almost understood the reason. It was definitely because of that thing. It was just that the thing disappeared here together with these frontier soldiers, so it was
Nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Yunjing bowed his hands to the 'village chief' in front of him and said: "This junior, Yunjing, is from Xiaoxi Village, Niujiao Town, Xinlin County, Wangjiang County, Jiangzhou, Dali Dynasty. I have met my senior."
At the bottom of the box in the 'Village Chief''s house, his weapons and armor tokens are stored, and he is Yang Kaishan, the general of the border army.
He led the town's border troops to guard that thing here for decades. In order to prevent the news from leaking, he did not hesitate to kill everyone who wanted to leave!
Although he knew the other party's identity, Yunjing couldn't explain how he knew it, so he only gave his own identity information.
"You are from Dali, how do you know our identities? This is a secret. If you don't know the answer, die!" Yang Kaishan stood up slowly and looked at Yun Jing and said coldly.
His expression was extremely cold, and his anger had locked onto Yunjing. He was not kidding. If Yunjing's answer dissatisfied him, he would really kill Yunjing.
Those on the edge of town, because they have a mission, have been here silently guarding that thing. They don't mind outsiders coming here, but they can't leave. As long as their identities are not exposed, they don't mind coexisting with other people, but Yun
Jing knew their identities, but he didn't tell them clearly. In order to prevent the news from leaking, he had no choice but to get rid of them!
Don't doubt what the other person said.
But for those people who dedicated their lives to protecting their country and their country, Yunjing really didn't want to say anything to deceive them.
Then he said: "Junior has read some books. My family teacher is now serving in the army. I have also experienced in the army, so I am very familiar with the army's style. Although I have just come here, I can see the military style from your actions.
So this junior has guessed that you are Dali soldiers."
"This is not enough. We have been here for decades and our identity is a secret. No one knows our identity except 'us' ourselves. Even the descendants of people who have settled here do not know it. Now that you know us
With your identity, just because you are a Dali person, we cannot keep you!" Yang Kaishan looked at Yun Jing and said coldly.
At this time, the place had been sealed off, and no sound could penetrate the courtyard. Moreover, around the courtyard, 'old people' appeared one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Yunjing understands their murderous intentions. They have a mission and cannot tolerate any mistakes, even if decades have passed!
He is in danger now, he could be said to be on the verge of life and death. Of course, whether they can kill him or not is still a matter of course.
Yunjing didn't want to conflict with these respectable people, so he thought for a while, took out something from his arms and showed it to Yang Kaishan and the others.
What he took out was the jade pendant that the eldest princess had given to Yun Jing. In many cases, this jade pendant could represent Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
After taking out the jade pendant, Yun Jing said: "This is the jade pendant that Princess Dali carries with her. Can you dispel your wariness?"
When the jade pendant was taken out, everyone including Yang Kaishan was shocked.
To be honest, Yunjing felt a little uneasy at this time. After all, the eldest princess is not very old. Do they recognize this jade pendant?
However, no matter what, this jade pendant was produced by the royal family after all, bearing the unique mark of the royal family of the Dali Dynasty. If this thing didn't work, Yunjing could only think of another way.
Looking at the jade pendant in Yun Jing's hand, Yang Kaishan trembled all over, then took a deep breath and said, "I'm offended."
As he spoke, he waved from the air, and the jade pendant fell into his hand, and he began to look carefully.
After a while, Yang Kaishan knelt down on one knee, held up his jade pendant and said in a deep voice: "General Yang Kaishan, please see Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." The other old people around him also knelt down, and they were all trembling with excitement.
The person they were kneeling on was not Yunjing, but the eldest princess.
In this way, Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief. Even after decades, they were still loyal to the Dali Dynasty, but Yunjing didn't know how Yang Kaishan could tell the authenticity of the jade pendant.
Yang Kaishan has the cultivation of true artistic conception and has keen senses. Perhaps he sensed the doubts in Yun Jing's heart. He stood up and said: "Forty-five years ago, before I came here, at the beginning of that year, I went to the capital to report on my work. I was lucky enough to
I have met the young eldest princess once, and I have seen this jade pendant before. At that time, the eldest princess had already worshiped a master. It has the aura left by the master from the mythical realm. It cannot be faked."
With that said, he politely returned the jade pendant to Yun Jing, and then said in a choked voice: "Finally I've waited for you, the court has not forgotten us."
Suddenly, Old Yang Kaishan burst into tears, and the eyes of other 'old people' around him were also red.
Yunjing felt uncomfortable with this situation. They were actually a group of forgotten people...
