Chapter 44 Crypt Remnant(1/2)

Whether it is a place of majestic spiritual energy or a place where demonic energy lingers, the mountains and trees rooted in the land are always endless and prosperous.

The tall trees above the head are so dense that they seem to cover up all the dim sky light. The dead vines and branches are entangled under your feet, and if you are not careful, you will have the whole person in it.

The boy named Black Stone took the old woman's axe, and the boy named Axiu was holding a wooden stick in his hand. The two of them walked through the dense forest like monkeys, jumping forward while the three people behind him were driving.

"When I was young, everyone in the village called me Ah Hua. Later, I got older and the rest of the people around me were all younger generations. Later, they called me mother-in-law. Just call me Ah Hua."

After all, Grandma Ah Hua is old and although she has the ability to cultivate herself, she is still a little trembling when she is walking.

Wen Yun originally wanted to help her, but Grandma Ah Hua shook her head and declined: "Don't worry about the immortal growing up. I grew up in this mountain. I want to take advantage of the fact that I can still move and walk a few more times."

Her words were indifferent but sad. Wen Yun felt sad when she heard this. She quietly used her mental power to hook Ye Shubai's mental power and asked him quietly.

"How much lifespan does Grandma Ah Hua have left?"

He was silent for a moment and replied: "It's less than a month."

What a pity. Grandma Ah Hua can cultivate to the Qi Refining Stage in this place with small spiritual energy and barren resources. It can be seen that her talent is actually very good. If it were on the Four Continents of the Right Path, maybe it would be a genius disciple who regarded it as a treasure by any sect. However, as now, her cultivation level is low and she cannot go further. She can only wait for death silently.

A Xiu in front of him slowed down and stood in front of Ah Hua's grandma, carefully pushing away the hanging vines for her. The old man looked at him with a kind smile and gently patted the fallen leaves on his shoulder.

Hei Shi smiled and shouted "Mother-in-law", then pulled up a tuber-like plant and said happily: "I found sweet potatoes, we have something delicious tonight."

Grandma Ah Hua also smiled on her wrinkled face. She carefully picked up the sweet potatoes and whispered: "Today there are distinguished guests. You two can run faster, clean up the village, and then wash the previously dried wild boar meat. Let's go back and cook the meat and cook sweet potatoes for the distinguished guests to eat."

Hei Shi frowned, a little unwilling to do so: "But mother-in-law, the wild boar meat was prepared for you to eat..."

"It's okay, my mother-in-law doesn't like eating meat when she's old. Go with Ah Xiu."

Her voice was extremely low, but she was afraid that she would not know that Wen Yun and Ye Shubai, who were behind, could actually hear her voice clearly.

This made Wen Yun even more uncomfortable.

She whispered to Ye Shubai: "How about any elixirs that increase longevity?"

Ye Shubai replied lightly: "It is said that elixir practices were prevalent thousands of years ago, and some people once developed a mirror-breaking pill that could increase the chance of breakthrough and a life-enhancing pill that increased life span. However, the inheritance was suddenly cut off, and medical practitioners now will no longer refine these advanced pills."

Grandma Ah Hua in front of her was completely unaware that the two immortals behind her were worried about their longevity. She didn't realize it, and urged the two children to return to the village first, and carefully led Wen Yun and the others to a big tree.

Except for being particularly thick, this tree is no different from other trees in the dense forest.

Wen Yun frowned and glanced at the tree a few more times.

"There are arrays on this tree, and it looks like the formation method of Snow Island."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Ah Hua nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is said that the master once arranged a formation to protect us."

The master she mentioned was the Jindan stage monk who escaped from the pursuit of the demon cultivator with his remnants. It seemed that he was very likely a disciple of Chuxue Island. Their formation level is at the top level in the entire cultivation world. It is not surprising that the hidden formation set up can last for hundreds of years. I think this group of remnants can escape from the pursuit of the demon cultivator with more dependence on this formation.

It's just a pity that it has almost collapsed.

Grandma Ah Hua didn't know what mystery was on the tree. She only knew that it was something left by the master, so she bowed respectfully to the tree, then took Wen Yun and the others to the roots of the tree and pushed apart a thick layer of dead branches and rotten leaves.

There is actually a cave entrance that only one person can pass through!

The old man walked in front and apologized to Ye Shubai and Wen Yun: "I'm sorry for the two immortals."

Drilling holes is not difficult for Wen Yun, especially as a great wizard who likes to dig magic stones with his own hands, she has been churning in the holes a lot in the past.

But what she didn't expect was that Ye Shubai was extremely skillful in drilling holes. He drilled down with a swish like a loach, and did not even dirty the corner of his clothes.

Thinking of giving his own sword spirit some face, Wen Yun asked Ye Shubai in a low voice: "Are you very skilled in your movements?"

Ye Shubai was silent for a moment before answering: "Sword Cultivator often goes out to find high-quality forging swords for heaven and earth treasures. Although I use the Phoenix Wood Sword, I also forged swords for my disciples back then."

Wen Yun suddenly remembered this. The swords used by the three senior brothers were extraordinary. The swords of the third senior brother were secretly embezzled by Ye Shubai. He flew to send Wen Yun to the stage during the inner gate competition. At that time, Bai Yushan thought the sword had been lost and almost cried like a fool.

But she quietly looked at Ye Shubai's appearance as if he was a god, and she really couldn't connect him with those forgeators who were bare-armed and swung sled hammers.

Ye Shubai didn't know that Wen Yun had already thought about it. After he mentioned this, he changed his subject: "The first sword of the sword cultivator is often forged by his master. When this matter is finished, I will forge a sword for you."

"..." Some people insist on emphasizing their identity as a master.

The cave underneath is narrow and long. Wen Yun was almost thinking about what kind of sword he wanted Ye Shubai to cast. The hole had not yet reached its end.

Grandma Ah Hua in front hunched over, barely turned around, and said respectfully: "Two immortals, our survivors' village is ahead."

After walking through the last narrow cave, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

This is a huge cave, with a dim view inside, only a faint light fell from several fists-sized ventilated heads above the head, and a few pieces of spiritual jade were surrounded by a circle of spiritual jades. These two light sources could barely illuminate the entire cave. The air was dull and full of the smell of aged mud, which was so depressing that it was almost impossible to breathe.

After Wen Yun stepped into this place, he felt as if he had stepped into a very deep and huge tomb, but when he looked closely, he also had a different world.

Although I live at the bottom of the cave, the world is still orderly. Before entering the village, a river flows by the bottom. The rows of houses in the east are made of wood and bluestone. There are several plots of land near the light source in the west, with wild vegetable crops planted on them, which look slender and stunted. However, the green and tender green are blooming together, which also brings a hint of hope to this underground village.

Seeing that Grandma Ah Hua returned, two women washing things in the lower reaches of the Dark River greeted him with a smile: "Mother-in-law, you are back! Ah Xiu and the others just took out the dried meat to wash, saying that they would cook tonight..."

Her voice stopped abruptly, and her eyes fell on Wen Yun and Ye Shubai behind her in fear and anxiety. She pointed at the two people-

"Mother-in-law! Who are they!"

"Hei Shi, don't be rude to the immortal!" Grandma Ah Hua quickly suppressed the woman's rude behavior, turned around and apologized to Wen Yun and Ye Shubai in fear and fear: "Xiassian, they have been born underground in this place for the rest of their lives and have never seen the world..."

"It's okay, mother-in-law." Wen Yun quickly supported her, and warmly comforted the poor old man.

The arrival of Wen Yun and Ye Shubai has become the most sensational event in the surviving village in the past few decades.

I heard that they were immortals who came to pick them up home, and two or three hundred people began to gradually gather in front of the open space in the middle of the cave.

They have been underground since they were born. The blue sky and sea passed down by their ancestors, and their rich homes, mountains, forests and grasslands that can run freely to bathe in the sun. They are all unreachable and unfamiliar things for them. In their memory, they only have the dim glamor and dull air underground. Even occasionally crawling out to breathe the fresh air with a nervous heart, it is the greatest enjoyment.

But they have always remembered what their ancestors said.

Someone will come to take them home and return to that rich, beautiful and free hometown.

They looked at Wen Yun and Ye Shubai curiously and joyfully, and whispered in a low voice: "It's so good-looking. Great-grandfather did not lie to us. Immortals are all very good-looking."

"Yes, my mother-in-law is also half an immortal, so she was also the most beautiful beauty in our village when she was young."

...

Wen Yun likes to be praised for her good looks, but for the first time she was praised directly and purely, her face also showed a slight blush.

But after seeing the appearance and clothes of these remnants, her heart still sank.

They were very white because of the unhealthy complexion that they stayed underground all year round. Everyone was thin and short. The thick sack clothes worn by Grandma Ah Hua was already the most decent outfit. The other villagers were shabby. Children like Ah Xiu were bare-armed and only had a circle of leaves around their waists. The adults also had a few pieces of poor animal skin or bark that were made of bark to block the key parts.

There is a river underground. Although it facilitates daily use of water, it also makes the entire underground cold. These mortals do not have spiritual power to protect them, so they may not even be able to avoid the cold if they only wear such things.

However, they seemed to have been used to it, and they all walked forward with something with smiles on their faces.

"This is the bird egg my kid went to the ground the day before yesterday."

"This is the wild fruit we picked yesterday."

Soon, there was a pile of food in front of Wen Yun. These things seemed simple, but for the people living underground, they were already the most precious things in their homes, all of which were sent to entertain distinguished guests.

Grandma Ah Hua was also very happy for her children's sensibility, and her eyes were curved with smiles: "Two immortals, sit down, let's prepare supper right away."

Wen Yun couldn't stand it. She didn't dislike these foods, but just felt sorry for these overly difficult people.

She grabbed Ah Hua's grandma and smiled slightly: "Mother-in-law, you are here first, let's go."

As soon as she finished speaking, she had taken out a whole section of fire fir from the mustard sac, threw a fireball technique toward it, and ignited it instantly.

Wen Yun was very satisfied and finally understood why the third senior brother used firewood as firewood. It was really suitable...

"Wow!"

The remnants were stunned and lit the wood without using flint and drilling fire bow. Sure enough, is this the power of the immortal?

However, Wen Yun was not finished yet, and she took out dozens of killed chickens from the mustard sack...

These were the helicopter chickens that Zhu Erchong insisted on hunting and killing at that time, saying that he was going to keep them for the future and roasting them to eat, but he didn't expect that Wen Yun would be cheap this time.

The chickens grown in the Xuantian Secret Realm are naturally extraordinary, each with thirty or forty kilograms, which made the residents dazed: "Is this a pheasant?"

"Is it a pheasant?"

"But... are pheasants so big? Why are they different from what we caught in the forest?"

"I guess this is a chicken raised by an immortal? It's worthy of being an immortal!"

Wen Yun was calm on the surface, but in fact he was staring at these dozens of chickens as if he was facing a great enemy. She planned to give these remaining residents meat, but now there is a very serious problem - she only knows how to eat, but can't make it.

At this moment, Ye Shubai, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward and took a fat chicken from her hands.

"I'll do it."

His cuffs were rolled to his forearm, his eyes were lowered, and he skillfully skewed the chickens on his elderwood wood in his hands, and then he took out a handful of seasoning from somewhere to sprinkle them on. The whole process not only did not look vulgar, but it looked smooth and freehand.

Wen Yun was following his command beside him, and from time to time he used magic to control the fire.

Everyone, including Grandma Ah Hua, stared at them in a daze until the fairy girl greeted them gently: "Come on, everyone, eat while it's hot."

It turns out that the immortals are roasting pheasants for them! What kind of virtue are they, the mortals, dare to let the immortals do such things for themselves!

The expressions of the survivors became frightened and Grandma Ah Hua was even more shocked and was about to kneel down in panic, but Wen Yun grabbed her first.

"Mother-in-law, please try it first."

A fragrant chicken leg was stuffed into the mouth of Grandma Ah Hua. The chicken skin had already become burnt and crispy, while the chicken was still soft, tender and juicy. In one bite, it burst out with an incredible rich aura!

A trace of shock flashed across her old face. She took another bite with a cherished and careful look, and found that her broken body, which seemed to be about to fall down at any time, had recovered a little bit of strength.
To be continued...
