Chapter 300: Two Villages.
Floating Island.
The ancient trees are towering to the sky, and the grass is like a waterfall.
The soles of the feet were as soft as a velvet blanket, and the rotten smell lingered... Qiao Ciguang and his party trudged with solemn expressions.
They had been walking in this dense forest for a day and a night, but found nothing.
It seems like the entire forest is endless.
If it weren't for the subtle differences in the things I saw along the way, I would almost suspect that I was actually going in circles.
It's okay for Su Zhentian and Shi Wanli. After all, they are disciples of a famous sect and are determined.
But the casual cultivators who followed them already exuded an air of frustration and doubt.
The anxious mood spread among the crowd.
At this moment, the front suddenly opened up and a village appeared.
The village is built near the water. Across the meandering river, you can see private houses. There are several families living along the river. Stone steps leading to the river are also built to facilitate washing.
It's dinner time right now, smoke is curling up from the village, children and yellow dogs are playing in the streets, the children's sharp laughter, the barking of the yellow dogs, plus the occasional rooster's crow, the smell of fireworks is strong, and it looks like
A quiet countryside picture.
On the only road leading to the village, there is a stone tablet with the word "Zicun" written on it, covered with moss. It is obviously quite old.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Ciguang frowned slightly. The village appeared very unexpectedly and felt something was wrong.
So, she asked everyone to stop and communicated with Shi Wanli: "Master Shi, there is something strange about this island. People are suddenly appearing on this island. We cannot take it lightly. Please accompany everyone and wait here. I will go in and take a look alone."
.”
"If I don't come back within an hour, then don't worry about me and take everyone away from this village immediately."
Hearing this, Shi Wanli showed a troubled look and said through the message: "Senior Sister Qiao, this is too risky, why don't we act together? Or, just don't go in."
Qiao Ciguang shook his head and said: "After walking for so long, I came across a different place. If I don't go in, I might miss the opportunity."
"As for my safety, you don't have to worry. Now that a day and a night have passed, my master and the others must have rushed to the outside of the island. If there is any danger, the master will definitely not sit idly by."
Shi Wanli was startled for a moment, then reacted immediately.
Yes, counting the time, not only Su Zhentian, the Liuhu Dynasty and even other Zhengmo sects have probably arrived at Wan Fei Hai.
This floating island, even if it no longer has the method of building the foundation of heaven, the mere fact that it is related to Yousu Tomb is enough to attract the nine major sects to come!
Thinking of this, Shi Wanli felt a little relieved and warned: "Senior Sister Qiao, be careful!"
Qiao Ciguang nodded, then said a few words to several junior sisters, and then walked to the village alone.
However, Shi Wanli and others watched Qiao Ciguang enter the village. After a while, they saw a figure who looked exactly like Senior Sister Qiao walking out of the village entrance and waving to everyone.
Shi Wanli, Su Zhentian's other disciples, and all the casual cultivators suddenly felt relieved, as if they were at home. They were extremely trusting and walked towards the village without hesitation.
At this moment, Qiao Ciguang had just walked into the village. It was obvious that most people in this village were living in a relatively poor life. Looking around, most of them were thatched houses, with only a few tile-roofed houses.
And unlike the peace and tranquility seen outside the village, there is now a faint feeling of sadness in the village.
The villagers passing by all had sad faces, and some of them still had hemp ropes wrapped around their waists.
Most of the houses in the village have their doors and windows closed, and there are Spring Festival couplets on every door. However, although these Spring Festival couplets have faded, it can still be seen that their background color is not the usual red, but green.
.
Qiao Ciguang secretly used his methods to investigate the villagers he met, and found that they were all mortals with no cultivation, and their conversations revolved around family conflicts, land harvest, etc., but he always felt that something was wrong.
So, she walked up and asked a passing villager: "Excuse me, what is this place?"
"This is Zi Village." The villager, with a hemp rope wrapped around his waist and a sad expression, said, "There will be a funeral in the village tomorrow. The girl is a foreigner. Do you want to stay and attend?"

On the bank of the river as clear as jade, Pei Ling led eight furnace tripods and looked at the village opposite from a distance.
After some observation, he noticed that there was a stone tablet with the word "mulberry village" written on it at the entrance of the village, covered with moss.
At this time, in Pei Ling's eyes, Nanke Menghuo was slowly dancing, strange runes were intertwined, and he was still using the [Resentful Nightmare Magical Power].
The calling in my ears has become extremely strong.
A strong intuition gradually arose in his heart, as if the village in front of him contained important opportunities that he could not let go of and must not lose.
With his mind spinning, Pei Ling hesitated for a moment and walked towards the village.
[Curse Ghost Dao Foundation] is the Three Tribulations Dao Foundation, which is precious. Even on top of the Double Tribulation Dao Foundation that is tightly controlled by the three Chongming Sect families and never leaks out. Since there is a follow-up opportunity for the Three Tribulations Dao Foundation in this village, no matter what
, can’t be missed.
The most important thing is that he now has three lives and a Void Heaven Realm seed. Even if there is any danger in this village, he does not need to worry about dying here.
After a while, Pei Ling led the furnaces and tripods into the village.
When you first look at the village, you can see that there is an uneven distribution of wealth between the poor and the rich. There are low huts and courtyards with white walls and black tiles.
At the moment, the village is very lively, and the people coming and going are all beaming with joy, and many of them have brightly colored seasonal flowers on their clothes and hairpins.
The largest courtyard in the village is decorated with lanterns and streamers, making it extremely festive.
Several young children gathered in front of the door and started making noises. Soon, someone came out, holding a brand-new dustpan, and poured the contents of the dustpan into the children.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" The children cheered and rushed forward, scrambling to pick up the colorful candies and pastries.
Pei Ling used the [Resentful Nightmare Magical Power] to check inch by inch, and found nothing abnormal.
The villagers around him seemed to be just ordinary mortals.
However, it is too abnormal to encounter a mortal village in such a place!
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out the situation here.
So, Pei Ling walked up to a villager who was standing with his sleeves rolled up, smiling at the children competing for candy, and asked, "May I ask where this place is?"
The villager was wearing short brown clothes that were easy for working. His black and yellow face was full of grooves, but he was in great spirits. He even had a water-red mountain flower on his temples. Hearing this, he suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, turning to look at him diligently.
He said: "This is Sang Village. There is going to be a happy event in the village tomorrow. Since the young master has returned, I will stay for a drink at the wedding!"
