The door of the wooden house opened, and a burly man about 1.9 meters tall walked out. He was wearing a tiger skin coat on his upper body and tube bloomers on his lower body. His legs were straight and the muscles of his arms were bulging. He looked extremely powerful.
Probably hearing the noise, the strong man walked out of the wooden door, looked around, frowned, and was about to return when he caught a glimpse of a figure lying on the ground on the side of the wooden house, and couldn't help but walked over curiously.
Seeing a young man with a weathered face, but not hiding his heroic spirit, the strong man murmured: "It seems that he is another outsider who accidentally entered the mirage barrier."
He was kind-hearted and did not ignore it. Instead, he carried Zhuo Mufeng on his shoulders and took him back to the wooden bed in the house.
About two hours passed.
Zhuo Mufeng, who had Li Xuan's true energy flowing all over his body, woke up leisurely, opened his eyes, and found a strange and simple room, knowing that he must have been rescued by someone.
He first checked himself to make sure that no one was behind the scenes, and then slowly sat up.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and a strong man stepped in. There were two large steamed buns and a pot of tea on the tray in his hand. He laughed and said: "Brother, let's have something to eat."
Zhuo Mufeng felt a chill in his heart. He had just woken up when the other party immediately brought something in. Moreover, his eyes were sparkling, his steps were steady, and his voice was full of energy. He was probably not an ordinary person.
Is this all still an illusion?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, he is invulnerable to all poisons, so what should he be afraid of? Zhuo Mufeng showed a shy and humble smile, reached out to take the steamed bun, bit it, and said vaguely: "Did brother save me? Thank you, brother."
The strong man thought to himself, this young man is really innocent and unsuspecting. If he encounters a bad guy, he may die without knowing how. It seems that he must be a newbie in the world.
The smile was even brighter: "Brother, please eat slowly. Why don't you ask for your name?"
Zhuo Mufeng was very hungry, so he said while eating: "I'm Lu Juntian, what do you call me brother?"
The strong man: "Shang Yun Xia Han, Brother Lu, how did you get into this place?"
Zhuo Mufeng, who was nibbling on the steamed buns, felt a little moved in his heart. Now he recalled that the people in the illusion he met before were very real, but their words were very strange, and they were vague about his questions. How could they be as clear as the big man in front of him?
Could it be...
Zhuo Mufeng raised his head and said, "Brother Yun, I don't know. I was walking around and found that I couldn't get out. I rolled down when I was about to starve to death. Where is this place?"
Yun Han said in his heart that it was indeed the case. Seeing Zhuo Mufeng's fearful and doubtful eyes, he quickly comforted him: "Brother Lu, don't be afraid. This is a hidden village. They are all living people, not the centuries-old images you have seen. You are also unlucky.
The mirage barrier opens once every ten years, and you happened to happen upon it."
Centennial image? Mirage enchantment?
What are you talking about? Zhuo Mufeng looked like an ignorant newbie and jumped out of bed. He himself was tall enough, but compared with Yun Han, his head only reached the other person's forehead. He grabbed Yun Han's arm and asked
Said: "Brother Yun, I don't understand what is going on."
This urgent look made Yun Han shake his head speechlessly.
This little brother is too good at hiding things. If he encounters a bad guy, he can probably be tricked out by just scaring him. With such an innocent and cute kid, how can the elders in the family feel free to leave him alone?
Yun Han had no choice but to comfort him: "Brother Lu, don't worry, sit down and eat slowly, and I'll tell you slowly." When Zhuo Mufeng sat back on the edge of the bed, he also found a chair to sit down, put the tray aside, and
Explain it to Zhuo Mufeng.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhuo Mufeng finally understood, but he didn't know how to express his feelings.
According to Yun Han, this hidden village has existed for hundreds of years and is surrounded by an invisible and intangible mirage barrier that affects hundreds of miles.
This barrier is very strange. Not only does it isolate the outside world, but if you are inside it, you will sometimes see scenes that happened in the past and meet people who no longer exist. That is not an illusion, but a scene captured by the barrier.
Because the barrier needs to absorb the power of heaven and earth, it will be exposed every ten years for half a year. Once outsiders break into this range during this period, they will be lost.
And if there is no guidance, the mysterious power of the mirage barrier will change shape and position, causing you to deviate from your position invisibly. This is also the reason why the traces of the battle between Wu Yuanyuan and Meng Jiuxiao suddenly disappeared.
It's not that the traces disappeared, but that Zhuo Mufeng himself deviated from his original position.
Only by successfully surviving half a year, and waiting for the mirage barrier to hide automatically, will the people inside have a chance to get out.
But in fact, due to the limited space, the insect beasts were driven to a specific area by the Hidden Village, so most people would not be able to survive that long. Only those who were lucky enough to find the Hidden Village would have a chance to survive.
According to Yun Han, over the years, some martial arts people and homeless people came here one after another, and finally settled here, and some of them even died of old age here.
Zhuo Mufeng's heart felt so cold that he asked eagerly: "Brother Lu, don't people who come in have a way to get out?"
Yun Han couldn't stop laughing, and then looked at Zhuo Mufeng with sympathy: "There are ways, but ordinary people will never be able to do it."
"What method?"
"Directly behind Hidden Village, there is a canyon trail that leads to the outside world. However, the trail is filled with the most poisonous miasma in the world. Ordinary people will die if they take one breath, and even martial arts masters cannot stay long. My Hidden Village village Chang, who is at the peak of the Star Bridge Realm, is only half a step away from entering the Harmony Realm, but he doesn't dare to enter it at all."
After a pause, a look of deep regret suddenly appeared on Yun Han's face, and he sighed: "What a coincidence, just twenty days ago, a girl in red came to the village.
I bet you have never seen such a beautiful woman in your life. The people in the village were stunned and almost thought she was a fox fairy. But this fox fairy rushed into the canyon after learning the news. Now I’m afraid there are no bones left.”
When Zhuo Mufeng heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He suddenly held Yun Han's shoulders with both hands and asked impatiently: "Brother, what does the girl in red look like? Tell me quickly!"
Yun Han couldn't help but wonder why he was so excited, but he still said: "I have only seen him briefly once. His face is an oval face, his skin is very white and thin, he is probably more than three inches shorter than you, little brother, and he has a sword on his waist. Don't look at it. She is beautiful but has a bad temper. Some young men in the village tried to do something to her, but she almost killed her."
Every feature matched Wu Yuanyuan's. Zhuo Mufeng was still worried, so he suddenly picked up the steamed buns on the tray, rubbed them against the wall and began to paint. He quickly sketched out a face using the technique of sketching in his previous life, and turned around Ask: "Is it her?"
Yun Han had been stunned for a long time. He was amazed by Zhuo Mufeng's painting skills and was shocked by the familiar face on the wall. After a moment, he said in surprise: "Brother Lu, do you know each other?"
"Hahaha……"
Zhuo Mufeng laughed wildly, and the worries and anxieties that had accumulated in his heart for many days were suddenly swept away, and a thousand pounds of burden seemed to be lifted from his whole body.
Although Wu Yuanyuan was reckless, she was by no means a person willing to die. He believed that if the other party dared to enter the canyon, he must have discovered that his invulnerable body could resist the miasma inside.
"Brother Yun, can you take me to that trail?" Zhuo Mufeng could see that Yun Han was a warm-blooded and generous man.
Yun Han shouted: "Brother Lu, do you want to go in too? Do you want to die? Besides, that canyon is in a mirage barrier after all, so the entrance only appears every other month. Do you want to go in?" Have to wait."
"Is there still such a thing?" Zhuo Mufeng looked suspicious.
The response was a slap on his forehead. Yun Han pretended to be angry and said: "Why did I lie to you? For a stupid young man like you who would risk his life for a beautiful woman, I am still the first See you next time!”
Yun Han had lived in a hidden village since he was a child, and his mind was not complicated. He also preconceived that Zhuo Mufeng was a naive fool, so he consciously assumed the posture of a senior.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Zhuo Mufeng had to hold back his impulse: "In that case, we can only wait a little longer."
Hearing this, do you still want to go then? Yun Han's face twitched heavily.
He saw that Zhuo Mufeng and Wu Yuanyuan knew each other, and subconsciously felt that this young man must be chasing beautiful women. He secretly decided to educate Zhuo Mufeng well and not let him do stupid things.
"Brother Lu, please come with me first. When outsiders come to the hidden village, they must register. Otherwise, if they are found out, the consequences will be serious."
Zhuo Mufeng had no objection to the so-called "do as the Romans do when you're in the country". Gugu drank a pot of tea and the hunger in his stomach was reduced a bit, then he and Yun Han went out.
Along the way, Yun Han introduced the customs of the hidden village and greeted the villagers coming and going. Most of the villagers looked at Zhuo Mufeng curiously.
And Zhuo Mufeng was quite shocked.
This is all because he discovered that except for children, the demeanor of all the men and women he met in these villagers was definitely different from ordinary people. Judging from their walking and breathing, they all seemed to be practicing practitioners.
"Brother Yun, are all the people here warriors?" Zhuo Mufeng asked.
Yun Hanxin said, "As a newcomer, you are asking about such things. Aren't you afraid of being noticed?"
However, he was already used to Zhuo Mufeng's straightforwardness, so he had no choice but to say: "People in the Hidden Village learn martial arts from the age of seven. They are taught by the masters in the village."
Yun Han glanced at Zhuo Mufeng and said with profound meaning: "The offspring born from the union of outsiders and people here also have this qualification."
Seeing that Zhuo Mufeng was noncommittal, Yun Han suddenly said mysteriously: "The Hidden Village is very lively this year. To tell you the truth, in addition to the girl in red, there was a girl in white who also entered the village before her, with that appearance Her temperament is no less than that of the girl in red, and her martial arts skills are so high that even the village chief now respects her."
How could Zhuo Mufeng not see Yun Han's good intentions? He wanted to use another woman to dispel his idea of following Wu Yuanyuan. Unfortunately, the other party didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't say much.
As for what the other party said, Zhuo Mufeng didn't take it to heart at all. Wu Yuanyuan's beauty was hard to find in the world, and he knew it best. How could such a shabby village isolated from the world have someone comparable to her? It was almost a joke.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of a fenced mud house in the village.
Yun Han stepped forward and called the door. After several times, the word "come in" was heard from inside. Yun Han pushed open the fence and led Zhuo Mufeng inside. He saw an old man in commoner clothes with triangular eyes sitting in front of the house.
On the wooden bench, he looked at Zhuo Mufeng with some scrutiny.
