The little hope that had just been ignited was extinguished in this way, and the village chief looked dejected, as if his vitality had just been taken away, and he looked ten years older in an instant.

Yu couldn't bear it when he saw this, and comforted him: "But it's true as your ancestors said, the people in the village don't have spiritual roots, maybe it's just because the spiritual energy of this land is thin. As long as they can go out and live in a different place, the descendants born by then may be able to survive."

Now I have the qualifications to become an immortal."

Mu Duanya also said: "Yes, I remember that some villagers said that your ancestors said that if you can get out, your descendants will be like us."

The concentration of spiritual energy does have an impact on the spiritual roots of babies. It is said that the soil and water support a person, which is indeed good. Areas with strong spiritual energy tend to have many more children with spiritual roots than areas with thin spiritual energy, so when the sect recruits people

, if manpower is tight, some places with thin spiritual energy will be skipped directly, because even if they go, there may not be any gains.

The fact that the descendants of this Wuming Village basically have no qualifications for cultivating immortals is probably due to the poor spiritual energy of the land here.

"But we haven't tested the villagers' qualifications yet. It's too early to draw a conclusion at this time. Maybe some of them have spiritual roots." Wen Liang said.

Mu Duanya also echoed: "That's right, that's right, after our conversation is over, we will gather the people in the village and we will test everyone's spiritual roots."

After listening to Yu San's consolation, the village chief felt better, so he regained his energy and started talking about the Wuming Island.

"The ancestors who later settled on Wuming Island have reproduced for several generations, and there are no more children with spiritual roots... but the weirdness of Wuming Island continues." The village chief paused and continued.

He said, "I don't know when, one man and one woman disappear in the village every seven years, mostly children and teenagers. No matter how hard we guard, two villagers will disappear every seven years."

"Wait a minute." Yu said, "The passage you mentioned before that only immortal cultivators can enter is also opened every seven years. What is the connection between the two?"

The village chief sighed and said: "Our ancestors discovered that passage while searching for missing villagers. There should be a connection, otherwise the timing would not be such a coincidence, but we can't tell what the specific connection is. In the future,

There have been some rumors in the village, saying that Wuming Island should not have been inhabited, and that the missing men and women are the landowners of Wuming Island who are asking for sacrifices from us. There is always a price to pay for occupying other people's places."

Yu frowned and said: "How can there be such a saying? A god like Tugong who eats incense and worships only wants the population in the area under his jurisdiction to increase, otherwise he would not have the willpower."

Tuigong is a deity appointed by the upper world to come down to earth. He cannot show up easily. The world's understanding of them can only rely on some legends and classics. However, this is the first time Yu has heard of Tudigong who does not like people coming to his territory.

"But later, when there were more rumors, the ancestors tried to worship the Earth God. They built the Earth Temple in the mountain where the passage is located, and every seven years during the Ghost Festival, a man and a woman would be sent there.

The next day, the man and woman would disappear out of thin air... There were also people who did not believe in evil who hid in the dark and observed, but the man and woman who were sacrificed disappeared, and they did not find anything unusual. But at least this saves us from having to do it every time.

Every seven years, everyone is in danger, because we know that the landowner is happy to accept our sacrifices, and we can decide who will be sacrificed, so from now on, the whole village will hold a lottery every seven years, and two families will be chosen to give birth.

As a sacrifice to the Lord of the Land."

"Decades ago, my family won a lottery, and the sacrifice was my second daughter." There was deep sorrow in the old village chief's voice. No matter which family this kind of thing happens to, life cannot bear it.

the pain.

The three of them looked at the sad old village chief, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort him. After all, they were young, and the eldest Wen Liang was only twenty-three years old. None of them had ever experienced this kind of relationship with their relatives.

The pain of life, separation and death made it impossible to express my heartfelt condolences to this old man who had lost his daughter.

Seeing the tangled expressions on the three people's faces, how could Feng He, a person who has lived for most of his life, not understand? He said: "It was all decades ago. I have already looked away. If it is not my daughter, she will

She's someone else's daughter."

Mu Duanya murmured in a low voice: "How can this be considered open-minded..."

"Duan Ya." Wen Liang warned in a low voice.

The village chief did not continue the topic about his daughter, but shifted the topic back to Wuming Island itself: "In short, the most widely circulated theory now is that our ancestors offended the landowner of Wuming Island, so generations of

We are trapped here, and that passage is the passage to the outside world. We can only continue to offer sacrifices to Tu Tu Gong, and after Tu Tu Gong calms down, the passage will be opened for us."

Yu Si thought: "Your ancestors have lived here for thousands of years, right?"

"Yes." the village chief replied.

"Even if it takes decades for Wuming Island to welcome a foreigner, there must be a lot of strangers who have mistakenly entered Wuming Island in the past thousand years. There will definitely be some among them who will try to solve the mystery of your entrapment. As a result,

What is it?"

"Of course there are," the village chief said. "There are two types of outsiders who come to the Unnamed Island. One is immortals like you, and the other is mortals like us. There are also immortals who have tried to lurk in the dark.

They tried to find out the landlord, but they all came back in vain, and they basically went back into the passage afterwards."

"Wait a minute." Yu said, "Why don't any of you have entered that passage, but you all agree that that passage leads to the outside world?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment and said: "We have tried all the ways out on this island, but this one is very special, but we can't get in."

"But it doesn't mean it's the way out." Mu Duanya said.

Yu nodded in agreement: "I think where exactly this road leads is still open to question. In the despair of being unable to leave the island, such a strange passage suddenly appeared. Your ancestors would subconsciously regard it as their last hope.

, which is the passage out of the island.”

Hearing this, Wen Liang also felt that it made sense: "It is indeed possible."

"Impossible." The village chief said firmly.

"Why?" the three asked in confusion.
