The winding mountain road goes around one ring, and the distance is obviously a thousand feet, but it is stretched to tens of thousands of feet. According to the yellow-faced man, no matter who wants to get to the top of the mountain, they must walk along the winding mountain road. As for why
, the other party doesn’t know, maybe it’s a custom passed down for thousands of years.
The two of them had amazing foot strength, and they reached the top of the mountain in less than a moment of burning incense.
Looking around, the flat mountain top is dotted with ancient buildings, and behind the building complex there is a small green mountain peak, no more than a few dozen feet high, with a beautiful waterfall flying down and falling into a small pond in the center of the building complex.
There were countless splashes.
"What a beautiful place." Ye Chen secretly marveled. He was used to seeing big cities and mountains, but now that he came to this paradise-like island, he felt even more refreshed.
Along the ancient stone road, Ye Chen followed the yellow-faced man to the outside of the big house in the center of the building complex.
"Master, there are inner disciples of Liuyun Sect outside." The yellow-faced man said loudly outside.
"Invite him in."
An old voice came out.
Hearing this, Ye Chen stepped into the hall of the house.
Sitting at the head of the hall was an old man, about seventy years old. His skin was as yellow as that of a man with a yellow face, but it didn't look like he was malnourished. He seemed to be born that way. Under him sat a young man in green.
, it was Qu Ming who arrived before Ye Chen.
Qu Ming was a little surprised to see Ye Chen come to Panshan Island.
Walking to the center of the hall, Ye Chen clasped his hands and said, "Ye Chen, an inner disciple of Xiliu Yun Sect, met the master of the Qu family."
The old man nodded, "You came here after receiving the task order, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, with two sect disciples, we have a greater chance of finding the lost ship."
"Ye Chen will definitely do his best." As he spoke, Ye Chen looked puzzled. He carefully sensed the old man's cultivation and found that the other man was only at the seventh level of the Qi Training Realm. He couldn't help but said: "Master Qu, I came all the way.
, I found out that all members of the Qu family are warriors below the Ningzhen Realm, what’s going on?” He didn’t think that a family could not give birth to Ningzhen Realm warriors, Qu Ming was a good example, and the other party might also enter the Baoyuan Realm in the future.
, become a master of the sect.
The old man sighed, "You should find a seat and sit down first."
Ye Chen sat on the chair opposite Qu Ming as he was told, wanting to hear what he said.
"It's not that there are no Ningzhen Realm warriors in our Qu family, it's that there can't be any Ningzhen Realm warriors. Any warrior who has reached the Ningzhen Realm level will suffer disasters or be attacked by monsters as long as they stay on Panshan Island for three months.
, or he went crazy during the practice, or he disappeared without a trace as if he was possessed by evil spirits, so when Qu Ming entered the Ningzhen Realm, I asked him to leave Panshan Island." The old man said eloquently.
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Chen took a breath of air.
Qu Ming said lightly: "That's true. Fifteen years ago, my father went crazy and died without any warning."
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Ye Chen said again: "Then why don't you leave Panshan Island with your whole family? The outside world is so big that there won't be no place for the Qu family."
"It starts from three thousand years ago. At that time, Gushui Lake was not called Gushui Lake, but Qinghu. Our Qu family lived on the shore of Qinghu Lake, and there was no Panshan Island at all. But since there were tribesmen under Qinghu Lake,
After an ancient object was picked up in the cave, things changed. First, there was a huge earthquake within a thousand miles, and the terrain changed, forming a huge pit. Then thunderstorms continued for three months, almost completely submerging the Qu family and everything around them. Life and death were at stake.
An island descended from the sky and suppressed the cave at the bottom of Qinghu Lake. Our ancestors of the Qu family thought that the gods were merciful and gave the Qu family a way to survive, so they moved the whole family to the island. This island is now Panshan Island, and Panshan Avenue was later named
Built.”
After reminiscing for a while, the old man continued: "It's just that things are not that simple. After moving to Panshan Island, the warriors in the clan who were above the Qi training realm died one by one within three months. The clan leader with the highest cultivation level at that time was my Qu family.
Ancestor, he finally told some information before he died."
"What did you say?" Ye Chen found himself deeply attracted.
The old man used all his strength to say word by word: "Devil, curse, just these four words."
Devil, curse!
Ye Chen suddenly felt a numbness in his back and his pores stood up. These four words seemed to have great magic power. Even if he said them, they would be thrilling.
Qu Ming's face was equally ugly. Every time he heard these four words, he would have a fear that was deeply imprinted in his blood and could not be driven away or forgotten.
The old man smiled bitterly, "Isn't it scary?"
Ye Chen didn't try to be brave, he nodded and said yes.
"When I heard these four words, I was even more frightened than you. I couldn't sleep for a month. I always felt like there were shadows around me, as if there were ghosts roaring. But then I became numb, because as long as I don't reach the Ningzhen state
, our Qu family are still like normal people and will not die for no reason."
Hearing this, Ye Chen looked at the old man again, but the other man had not yet explained his previous doubts.
The old man continued, "It's not that we haven't thought about relocating our clan, but we just can't do it. Before his death, the ancestor clan leader who died at that time asked everyone to move away from Panshan Island and not stay here. Everyone else obeyed and separated.
Three batches were prepared to leave one by one, but what was disappointing was that only one of the first batch of people who went out survived. The others also suffered a sudden disaster, which was more miserable and terrifying than the people who died on Panshan Island.
The only one who survived was so frightened that he died within three years after returning to Panshan Island."
Can't leave Panshan Island? But what happened to Qu Ming? No, only one of the first batch of people who moved out survived. Although he died later, it was due to a mental breakdown and it probably had nothing to do with the curse.
In other words, only one of the people living on Panshan Island can leave safely without being threatened by the curse. This can be explained by the fifty-fifty Dao and the forty-nine Tianyan. If a person escapes one of them, the world will always leave a glimmer of hope.
It will force people to a dead end, let alone a group of hundreds or even thousands of people. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Ye Chen's mind.
"Decades have passed like this, and some young people in the tribe have not believed in evil and are preparing to move again. However, the number is much smaller, only a few dozen. Without exception, as long as the people who leave Panshan Island for 500 miles, only one person survives.
Everyone else died tragically, and no one can explain why." The old man's voice was a little tired.
Ye Chen almost understood the ins and outs of the whole thing. He couldn't believe that this place with beautiful mountains and clear waters could have such terrifying things. An underwater cave, an island falling from the sky, and a cursed ethnic group. The whole thing was too terrifying and outrageous.
There is no way to explain it. Maybe it will be possible to solve this mystery when he reaches a certain level. Now he dare not act rashly for fear of being contaminated by the curse of Panshan Island. At that time, the sky and the earth were really incapacitated.
He will never be able to leave Panshan Island unless he kills Qu Ming. However, he and Qu Ming are not from the same clan. If he kills the other party, he may not have a way to survive. He may die here in three months.
