"Thank you, senior, for the tea. This junior's surname is Yuan. I wonder what I call senior?" Yuan Ming thanked him and asked.
"Zhao Gui." The old farmer didn't care that Yuan Ming only gave him a surname and replied.
"The younger generation thinks that the elder has extraordinary bearing, and he is not of the same race as those outside. Could it be that he is the immortal on Jinkui Island?" Yuan Ming praised him and asked again.
"Haha, I'm just an old slave, how can I be considered an immortal? Even my ancestors were just servants of Immortal Jinkui." Zhao Gui laughed at himself and said.
"Immortal Jinkui?" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up.
"Yes. Immortal Jinkui is the master of this fairy island. It's a pity that he has left the fairy island for an unknown number of years. My ancestors' original tribe has always followed him. It's a pity that he didn't take my ancestors with him when he left.
They left and left them to fend for themselves on Jinkui Island. Now all the clan members have died and I am the only one left." Zhao Gui said.
"What about those outside?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Those are the Fire Horn aliens that originally existed on this island. They are not very intelligent and pose no threat to you, so don't attack them without reason." Zhao Gui said.
"This junior is just a passer-by who accidentally broke in, so he won't cause trouble for nothing. This senior can rest assured. However, does senior know what the situation is like on Jinkui Fairy Island? It is obviously named as a fairy island, but why does it have such a scorching sun?
, and the trapped murderer Taolin?" Yuan Ming said quickly.
"It is a place where immortals live, and there is naturally something extraordinary about it. The immortals may be happy to live here, but for us mortals, it would feel like we are in purgatory." Zhao Gui shook his head and said.
"Senior's words make sense. Junior cannot stay here for some reason. I wonder if senior can tell me how to get out of this peach forest?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Don't worry, let me tell you about the situation on this island first. As you can see, there is more than one sun in the sky here. To be precise, there are seven suns." Zhao Gui waved his hand and said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, his heart trembled. He did not speak, but nodded noncommittally.
"The concept of time here is different from the outside world. There is no alternation of day and night at twelve hours. Usually, every hour, there will be an extra sun in the sky. When seven suns appear in the sky at the same time for seven days, it will be the most beautiful place in the entire Jinkui Island.
When it is hot. After this hour has passed, only one sun will set in the sky for the remaining six days. At that time, the temperature will drop to the lowest level." Zhao Gui said.
Therefore, the sky on Jinkui Xiandao will never be dark. When the extreme heat passes, it will only give people a short period of relief, and then there will be reincarnations of the sun rising one after another.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly bursts of cheers came from outside the house.
Yuan Ming looked at Zhao Gui in surprise, but the latter had already stood up.
"Let's go, we just went out to take a look." Zhao Gui said calmly without any surprise on his face.
Yuan Ming originally wanted to continue asking how to leave, but seeing this, he had no choice but to follow him out.
As soon as he came outside, he was surprised.
I just felt that the light in the surrounding void was a little darker, and the surrounding temperature also dropped significantly.
He quickly looked up, looking through the gaps in the leaves above his head, he saw only a single sun hanging in the sky, and the light it emitted seemed a bit softer.
At this moment, people from the Huojiao tribe were everywhere in the village. They crawled out of those simple, semi-underground houses and shouted excitedly. They ran towards the peach forest and disappeared outside the village.
"What are they doing?" Yuan Ming asked confused.
"Go to the forest to collect a kind of spiritual grass that can relieve the pain of fire sores on their bodies." Zhao Gui said.
"But can't the leaves of Qinggui detoxify fire? Why go out to look for it?" Yuan Ming asked puzzledly.
"The leaves of Qinggui can only relieve slight fire poison. Moreover, the body structure of the Fire Horn alien race is different from ours. It is easier for them to absorb fire-attribute spiritual energy, and it is also easier for them to accumulate fire poison. The poisonous sores on their bodies have grown over time, and they are no longer Qinggui.
The leaves can be treated." Zhao Gui shook his head and said slowly.
"I see. But if they just ran out like this, wouldn't they be afraid of getting lost in the peach forest?" Yuan Ming nodded.
"Don't worry, the peach forest outside this area has not changed that much. They have lived here for many years and will not lose their way." Zhao Gui said.
Yuan Ming was a little disappointed when he heard this.
He also thought that these fire-horned aliens had some special way of identifying directions.
"By the way, senior, you said earlier that you wanted to tell me how to get out..." Before Yuan Ming could say anything, he heard a roar coming from the peach grove outside the village.
Immediately afterwards, the wailing sounds of the Fire Horn aliens began.
Yuan Ming frowned and hurriedly rushed in that direction. Zhao Gui beside him stepped a little and his figure floated towards the outside of the village. His movements had an indescribable smoothness.
When the two arrived at the peach grove outside the village, they saw more than a dozen people from the Huojiao tribe surrounding Lei He and Yanxiang in the center, each holding their spears high and preparing to attack.
However, they seemed to be brave, but in fact they had already suffered a big loss. On the ground not far in front of Yan Xiang, the bodies of two Fire Horn aliens had fallen.
Yan Xiang looked at the group of angry aliens with anger spewing from his eyes.
Although he practiced fire-attribute skills, he had been trapped in the peach forest for a long time, and his body was already covered with fire sores. When he was in the sky for seven days just now, he thought his blood was boiling and his whole body was about to burn.
.
Fortunately, I managed to hold on in the end.
He was about to find an oasis, but he was stopped by these red-skinned aliens. Now he just wanted to kill all these uncivilized red-skinned beasts.
So, he held a red sword in his hand with scattered red flames painted on it, and slashed at the fire-horned alien in front of him.
On the blade of the sword, a flame pattern flashed, and immediately "hu la la", several balls of flame flew out and flew straight towards the alien.
When the flame flew closer, the fire suddenly surged, like a fierce beast of fire that was about to devour the man.
"Stop." Zhao Gui looked angry and disappeared suddenly.
The next moment, an old hoe with a faint yellow light appeared out of thin air in front of the sword.
A loud bang!
The hoe blocked the big sword, and the red flames were scattered. Yan Xiang's body was shaken, and he took three steps back in succession.
The old hoe remained motionless. Zhao Gui's figure appeared next to the hoe, holding the hoe handle with one hand.
"Who are you?" Yan Xiang was shocked and angry, and was about to attack Zhao Gui.
On the other hand, Lei He on the side was very calm. Seeing that Zhao Gui could block Yan Xiang's attack so easily, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
When he saw that Yuan Ming was here, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Fellow Taoist Yanxiang, wait a moment, we are all our own people." Lei He quickly stopped him.
Yan Xiang was confused by his words "one of our own" and did not react for a moment, so he did not continue to attack.
"Why are you killing people here for no reason?" Zhao Gui put down his hoe and asked coldly.
"This... fellow Taoist, we didn't kill people for no reason, they suddenly attacked us, and we had no choice but to fight back." Lei He said with cupped hands.
Yan Xiang was about to speak, but was silenced by his look.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please talk to this fellow Taoist. We are all companions who accidentally entered here. We have no ill intentions towards the people here." Lei Hefu looked at Yuan Ming again and said quickly.
"Do you know each other?" Zhao Gui asked with a frown.
"Senior, I did come with them and got separated in the peach forest before." Yuan Ming said.
After hearing this, the coldness on Zhao Gui's face dissipated a bit.
"That's all, it's not a crime for those who don't know. It's your first time offending, so I won't care about it this time. However, it won't be the same next time." Zhao Gui glanced at Yan Xiang and said calmly.
When Yan Xiang saw him like this, another wave of evil fire jumped out.
Even he himself didn't know why he was so angry today.
Zhao Gui walked to the two dead Fire Horn alien corpses, put the two severed heads back into place, and shot out several root-like black filaments from his palm into their bodies.
The broken body of the Fire Horn alien healed quickly. He barely recovered in a few breaths and stood up unsteadily.
When Yuan Ming and the others saw this scene, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Those two Fire Horn aliens were absolutely dead, and yet they were able to come back to life!
"Senior is indeed an expert. I wonder if you can give me some advice on how to get out of the peach forest." Yuan Ming bowed his hands.
Yan Xiang saw the old farmer's method of bringing the dead back to life, and then heard that the humble old farmer in front of him knew how to leave this ghost place, and his expression became much calmer.
Lei He also had a look of surprise on his face, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."
"I can tell you how to leave Taolin, but you have to do one thing for me first." Zhao Gui said.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Ming sighed, it was indeed not that easy.
"I want you to go to a location thirty miles northeast of here and collect golden sunflower grass for me." Zhao Gui said.
When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other, obviously full of questions.
"Fellow Taoist seems to have lived here for many years and is more familiar with the environment here than us. Why don't you go and pick it yourself?" Lei He said in surprise.
"Of course I have a reason why I can't go. You don't have to worry about it." Zhao Gui had no intention of explaining.
"How do we know you are not lying to us? How do you prove that you have a way out of the peach forest?" Yan Xiang couldn't help but ask.
"The reason why you can't get out of this peach forest is because you are affected by the Liuren Qimen Formation in the peach forest. You are constantly being moved, and you are unable to get rid of the misguided guidance of the illusion. But I have a way to prevent you from being affected by the Qimen Formation.
Otherwise, if you get lost as soon as you enter the forest, how can you possibly bring back what I want?" Zhao Gui said, not bothering to look at him.
Yuan Ming was startled. He had never heard of the name Qi Men, but the expressions of Lei He and Yan Xiang on the side changed.
"Senior Lei, what is Qimen?" Yuan Ming sent a message to ask Lei He.
"Qimen is a type of magic formation. It not only includes formation patterns and changes in spiritual power, but also incorporates factors such as spells, earth veins, sun, moon, stars, etc. The most advanced Qimen formation can also change time, space
When the two major factors are combined, the formation is much more complicated than ordinary formations. There are many formation masters in Yunhuang Continent, but there are probably only a few who are proficient in the Qimen formation." Lei He replied via voice transmission, with shock in his voice.
"So that's what happened. Since senior has given instructions, I will go naturally." Yuan Ming looked at Zhao Gui and nodded in agreement.
"I can try too." Lei He said.
Yan Xiang didn't speak, but the expression on his face no longer opposed him.
"Okay, in that case, there are some things I need to say up front. My method can only last for a quarter of an hour and will not be affected at all, so don't think about escaping in this little time. The distance of thirty miles is
In addition, time is still very tight for picking golden sunflower grass, so I hope you won't play any tricks." Zhao Gui said calmly.
"We must be true to our words and resolute in our deeds. We will not break our promise," Lei He said.
