"That's right, everyone has the right to pursue happiness and have their own rights. The happiness of those in the small town now is unreal, and their mood is the same every moment. It's scary to think about it." Wei Ji thought deeply.
Ran said.
"Okay, it's time to start the rescue operation. Let's go and see the ancient well of the old patriarch's house."
"Ah, but we just left the old patriarch, and now we are going back, will it be..."
"It doesn't matter, let's not alert the enemy first and go secretly inspect the ancient well." Ximen Yu decided.
"good."
Soon Ximenyu and the others returned to the ancient house of the old patriarch. This time Ximenyu did not knock on the door, but took Wei Ji's hand, crossed the wall of the ancient house with a slight step, and then stood next to the ancient well.
"Who?!" the old patriarch shouted sternly.
Then in an instant, he stood opposite Ximenyu and the others, with extremely strong skills.
"Is it you? What on earth do you want to do?!" the old patriarch said coldly.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the old patriarch has such good ears and strong skills. I really admire him."
"Brother, it turns out that not everyone in this town is carefree. This immortal patriarch also has moments when he is angry." Seeing is believing, and Wei Ji now confirmed her brother's guess.
"Junior sister, now you should believe that the old patriarch is not simple anymore."
"Huh, so what, I've known for a long time that you are here with bad intentions. What is your real purpose in coming to Wuyou Town?" the old patriarch asked.
"Old patriarch, don't you feel guilty when you look at your tribe members who have no thoughts and opinions of their own and live in a virtual life all day long?" Ximenyu asked.
"Why don't they have their own opinions and thoughts? This is a paradise here, and everyone lives a carefree life. What's wrong with that? Why do you interfere in our lives?"
"Oh, that's right. Since this kind of life is so interesting, why don't you drink the water from this ancient well? Why do you stand above everyone else and enjoy the seven emotions and six desires that normal people should have?"
"This..." The old patriarch was speechless for a moment. In fact, he was just following orders, but when he thought of what happened in this small town,
After those bloody events, the old patriarch felt that he had no regrets.
"Old patriarch, so you also know that there is something wrong with the water in this ancient well, right?" Wei Ji asked.
"What's the problem? Huh, don't talk nonsense." The old patriarch argued.
"Of course there is a problem. As long as you drink the water from this ancient well, your emotions and desires will be imprisoned, and you will even get stuck in the current life for your own entertainment, without any passion for striving for excellence and chasing after each other, isn't it?" Ximen Yu
asked.
"What evidence do you have for saying that? If there is no evidence, please don't confuse the public with your lies." The old patriarch said righteously.
"Evidence? Old patriarch, as long as you are willing to drink the water from this ancient well, I believe there is nothing wrong with the water."
"Why should I listen to you, young man? You don't know how to respect the old and love the young when you force me like this." The old patriarch knew that he was definitely not Ximenyu's opponent, so he had to use age as an argument, hoping that Ximenyu and the others
There is also some basic conscience that prevents you from overly forcing yourself to do things you don’t want to do.
"Hmph, there is no need to talk about morality when dealing with an old and disrespectful person like you. Old patriarch, I advise you to tell us the truth as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to use force."
"Okay, you are really unconscionable. You actually want to do violence to me, an old man. Come on, kill me. I will tell you today, if the well is there, I will be there, and if the well is dead, I will die." The old patriarch vowed to die.
Disobedience.
"Brother, I think there must be something fishy about the old patriarch's efforts to hide it. Why not use spiritual magic on him to see what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd?" Wei Ji suggested.
"That's good, I really can't bear to deal with a dying old man." Ximen Yu immediately used his spiritual magic. He thought it would be easy to invade an old patriarch with his own spiritual power, but he didn't expect it.
As soon as the spiritual power reached the old patriarch's mind, it was blocked by an invisible force.
"Huh? What's going on?" Ximenyu frowned.
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
"The spiritual world of the old patriarch has been blocked by others, and I cannot forcibly break it with my current mental strength."
"Ah, who is this great god? His spiritual power is actually higher than yours." Wei Ji said in surprise.
"Yes, I'm also surprised. It seems that this mysterious figure was the former emperor of the town. But why did he want to shield the spiritual world of the old patriarch? He had long expected that this day would come, so he did it in advance.
Are you ready? But what exactly is he trying to hide?" Ximen Yu was puzzled.
"Perhaps the only person in the town who knows this answer now is the old patriarch. Old patriarch, are you really willing to help the evildoers do evil and watch your tribesmen live in an illusory spiritual world every day?" Wei Ji turned around.
And he tried his best to persuade the old patriarch, hoping that the old patriarch would change his mind.
"Don't waste your breath anymore, I won't say anything." The old patriarch said stubbornly.
"Old patriarch, that's an offence." After saying this, Ximenyu made a lightning move and knocked the old patriarch unconscious.
"Brother, is the old patriarch okay?"
"It's okay. He's just in a coma temporarily. He will wake up soon. In the meantime, we should take a closer look to see what the secrets of this well water are."
"Yeah," Wei Ji nodded.
"Junior sister, wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
"Brother, be careful."
"Don't worry."
Ximenyu jumped down into the ancient well. The fruits of the well were still as cold and sweet as ever, and the well was hundreds of meters deep. Ximenyu followed the wall of the well, all the way down, trying to discover the mystery.
Half an hour later, Ximenyu emerged from the ancient well.
"Brother, how are you? Did you find anything?"
"Alas, I found nothing." Ximenyu sighed.
Ximenyu checked all the four walls of the well water, but still found no problem. But why is the human spirit paralyzed after drinking the well water? Is it a problem with the water quality? Or is it the mysterious talent of the Emperor Elephant?
, specializes in spiritual and water-based spells. These are things Ximen Yu has no way of knowing.
"It's okay, senior brother, take your time. After all, the old patriarch who knows the truth now is unwilling to cooperate, and we have no better way." Wei Ji comforted.
"Yes, this Wuyou Town is really full of mystery. No matter what, I must make the dirty deeds of the master behind the scenes public." Ximen Yu promised.
"Okay, what should we do next?"
"Next, we will search everywhere to see if there is any fish that has slipped through the net. Every time we are sure, we will know what happened in the town that year."
