Most of the row of houses have collapsed long ago, and there are still some traces of their former construction on the side of the mountain wall.
The remaining three stone walls are as jagged as canine teeth, standing tall or short on the ground.
The walls are also covered with various weeds growing diagonally or straightly, swaying constantly in the wind, and an old and rotten atmosphere spreads invisibly.
There are many fallen stones left in the house that have been eroded by time. They have turned blue-black and are covered with thick dark green moss.
The house is also surrounded by thatch that is as tall as a person, connecting the entire house with the valley. If you don't identify it carefully, it will be difficult to distinguish what is "inside and outside the house".
Li Yan flew up to the sky and silently stared at a house at his feet. It was a place where he had lived and feared.
Every time I go out, I actually don’t want to come back here. I just want to escape as far away as possible!
"Chen An, Li Yin..."
Li Yan murmured to himself in a low voice. He thought of the two soldiers who had been ordered to "stay on the left and right" to protect him, but were tricked by him, and many memories came flooding back...
Every time he had to come back here under the "escort" of these two people, and he was always thinking about how to get rid of Chen An and Li Yin...
Although he spoke softly, Zhao Min and Zi Kun, who flew over after him, were equally advanced in cultivation. Of course they heard clearly, but they had no idea what Li Yan said.
Except for the dense weeds and some exposed blue-black stones, all other objects in the stone house are gone.
Li Yan could actually guess the reason. After the death of Master Ji, unless there were still official guards here, everything here must have been plundered.
Whether it is the hunters who strayed here by mistake or the villagers in nearby villages, in their eyes, only the huge stones used to build houses are worthless.
The tables and chairs in the house are the most needed things in the house, so of course they will be "taken away".
This can also be seen from the remaining wall on the south side.
That's where the doors and windows were in Li Yan's memory. The tall and wide windows, with fine wooden grids, exuded a faint smell of tung oil...
But now there are only a few bare broken walls in a "concave" shape, and not even a trace of wood chips can be seen.
Li Yan was in a trance for a moment. In his eyes, the ruins disappeared, and the weeds all over the house disappeared in an instant.
There is a large wooden bed leaning against the wall on the north side of the house, with neat bedding placed on it;
There is a washstand and some toiletries placed on the east wall, and there is a four-story bookshelf on the west wall with some books on it;
A wooden table is placed against the south window. On the table are several tea cups, a kettle, and two chairs;
There are also two tall boxes made of brown old vines placed on the table. Several sets of coarse cloth clothes that Li Yan brought were placed neatly in the boxes one by one...
On a sunny morning, he opened the big window and saw the mist above the pond not far away. He took a deep breath and felt refreshed...
This picture appeared in Li Yan's mind, and his eyes were dazed for a moment!
r> Zhao Min and Zi Kun behind him did not speak. They also scanned the surroundings with their spiritual senses. They saw something strange about Li Yan, and Zhao Min had roughly guessed the reason.
People like Li Wuyi and others had only heard about Li Yan's past, but they didn't know that this was the place where Li Yan almost died.
Both Android and Apple are available.
First, Li Yan didn't want to mention anything about things in the valley; second, no one was bored enough to go to Qingshan Pass to inquire about such things in person.
What's more, at this time, her heart was also filled with ups and downs. The Demon Sect was suddenly so close before her eyes, and everything happened so unexpectedly!
But she would not disturb Li Yan at this time. She suppressed the frenzy in her heart and carefully looked at everything here, staring at the place where Li Yan once entered the path of immortality.
Li Yan then set his sights in front of the dilapidated house, where there were several black stone platforms. Li Yan seemed to see a food box in a wooden tray, which was placed on time every day.
On the stone platform, and the woman who cleaned up all this...
Everything is like a white dog in the blue clouds, floating into the distance and never looking back!
"It's been about a hundred years!"
Li Yan sighed deeply in his heart, and suddenly looked up to the north.
Although he was separated by towering mountain peaks, his heart flew to another place, where he had returned to in countless midnight dreams.
But at that time, Li Yan would often suppress himself and not think about it. He was afraid, afraid that the ruthless years would take away everything. He would rather believe that the small mountain village was still the same small mountain village as before.
But at this moment, when he saw everything here, a kind of panic suddenly arose in his heart, the fear that has been merciless for years.
When he first came here, he was only fourteen years old, but now he has already left for a hundred years.
Just when Li Yan looked towards the north, Zhao Min's voice came over.
"Why don't you go back and take a look first, and then we can go back!"
What she said was very convoluted, and of course Li Yan understood it. He turned around and smiled.
"Okay, let's go back after we go there!"
After that, Li Yan flew straight out of the valley. When he passed by the dilapidated house of Master Ji, he didn't take another look.
It wasn't until he flew out of the valley that he took a glance. On the stone wall on one side of the valley, he could see some faint red writing. He carefully identified the three characters "Military Advisor's Mansion".
It’s just that someone scratched it all over with a sharp blade, and the scratches were extremely deep!
"As a member of the Xunxian lineage, you may not have chosen to live here on a whim!"
When Li Yan saw these words, some thoughts came into his mind, and he thought of the pool again...
Then, the three of them flew towards the north. After flying for a while, Zhao Min's voice came over, but her voice was a little strange.
"It's really here, we are back!"
Back then, she and Gong Chenying followed Li Yan to the small mountain village. Although Qingshan Pass was more than two hundred miles away from the small mountain village, it was a very long distance in the eyes of mortals.
But even for Li Yan and the others, who were only in the foundation building period at the beginning, it was only a few dozen breaths of time.
Although the surrounding mountain peaks and road environment are different from those in Zhao Min's memory, the overall changes are not significant.
"Yes, although I can't understand it, it's really not a dream!"
Li Yan said softly.
When flying out of the valley of the "Military Advisor's Mansion", Zi Kun once hesitated and asked if he wanted to go down to the bottom of the pool to see what the pit was.
But he was directly rejected by Li Yan. He had no control over the broken pottery pot and just let everything go.
If they are sent to other unknown places again, it will be difficult to come back.
Therefore, Li Yan was unwilling to try, not to mention that he also had some guesses in his mind. Before he reached Nascent Soul, he would not try easily.
There is no doubt that the broken clay pot came from the "Soul Prison Clan", and those who founded the sect are most likely from the Desolate Moon Continent.
Combined with some news from Su Hong, some of these people obtained the broken clay pots, and then invisibly inspired the soul power in them, and were transported to Qingqing Continent.
Those who are of the Xunxian lineage have profound knowledge and have some methods that are beyond ordinary people. As for being able to simply inspire soul power, Li Yan feels that it is entirely possible for them to do it.
There was actually no terrifying pressure in this kind of teleportation. Li Yan and the others had never felt the so-called space pressure before.
Unlike when they were teleported from the Forgotten Continent, if it weren't for the runes outlined by Qianzhong Zhenjun, they would not have been able to survive the teleportation.
This also explains why some warriors can reach other worlds with only their mortal bodies, and they should have received the inheritance of soul cultivation there.
Later, perhaps due to some special reasons, the long alley for soul cultivation was built near the teleportation node, and the small bright yellow door was the real exit to the outside of the secret cave.
As long as the magic formula is activated correctly, Li Yan and the others should be safely teleported to somewhere in the secret cave at this moment.
After Li Yan activated the broken clay pot, several people failed to enter the bright yellow door at all, but were directly involved in the teleportation space.
Now that I think about it carefully, including the broken statue of the military commander, it may be a back-up left behind by the "Soul Prison Clan", or it may be a secret kept by a certain "Xunxian Lineage" strongman.
There are so many possibilities here, and Li Yan can only guess a few.
Zhao Min also agreed with Li Yan's decision and did not want to approach the pit on the mountain wall at the bottom of the pool again. He suggested that he wait until he has the ability to tear the void apart before exploring again.
Otherwise, everything depends on luck, which would be too dangerous!
The small mountain village is only more than two hundred miles away from Qingshan Pass.
For today's Li Yan and the others, this happened in an instant.
However, after they flew away from the "Military Advisor's Mansion", they still flew very slowly. Looking at the ant-like pedestrians on the road below, Li Yan felt more and more inexplicable fear in his heart.
He was timid about being close to his hometown. Of course he knew in his heart what was most likely to be waiting for him next, but he still wanted to go back and have a look.
Looking at the pedestrians rushing in the dust below, Li Yan seemed to see a sturdy man sitting on a carriage, and three young teenagers...
The big man kept giving instructions, and the three teenagers sat in the carriage and listened silently, their hearts filled with longing for a better future...
"Uncle Guoxin... Li Shan, Li Yu..."
Li Yan silently recited their names in his heart!
Seeing Li Yan's surprising silence, Zhao Min and Zi Kun stopped saying any words and looked down together silently!
No matter how slow it flew, it finally landed over a small mountain village after dozens of breaths.
Li Yan sensed that there were no more monks like the Blood Leaf Sect around him, and his heart tightened even more.
"The blood leaf sect's guardians, the immediate family members of the monks of the sprite sect, have all disappeared now..."
Li Yan only felt a little dry in his mouth. He had actually been able to use his spiritual consciousness to explore the small mountain village, but he had not yet used his spiritual consciousness to explore it.
This may be the last fantasy left in his heart, but now even guardians like the Blood Leaf Sect have quietly withdrawn.
As long as Li Yan's immediate family members are still alive, this situation should be impossible to happen.
Even if the Blood Leaf Sect dies in the battle with the demons, other immortal cultivating sects will take over.
Li Yan himself often thinks about Zhao Min's weaknesses, but in fact he himself is not the same.
He took a deep breath, and his consciousness easily covered the entire small mountain village. After a moment, Li Yan's figure flashed and landed in a place in the village, which was his home.
"Just wait for me here!"
Zhao Min and Zi Kun heard Li Yan's voice in their minds, and his man had disappeared without a trace.
A spacious courtyard is located in a small mountain village, which looks very grand. It is much larger and more grand than many surrounding houses.
But in a corner of the rear garden of this impressive courtyard, there is an old house built of mud and stone, which is incompatible with the elegance of the surrounding gardens.
There are traces of mud of different colors on the walls of this old mud house, indicating that it has been renovated more than once.
At this time, in the garden, there was an old mother-in-law with white hair and a kind face, half lying on a deck chair.
Although it was only early autumn, the expensive fabrics on her body were already thickened, and a blanket was covering her knees.
The old woman gently rocked the recliner, half-squinted her eyes, and listened to the silvery laughter coming from the flowers not far away, with a satisfied smile on her face!
