Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Surrounded by curious people, everyone asked about what was going on outside. Yi Shuyuan and others would only answer a question from time to time, which would arouse a lot of discussion.

Looking at the situation around them, it seems as if these people have been living in isolation in Wuzhuang for a long time, and no one, no matter how old they are, has ever gone out.

Zhuangzi seemed bigger and deeper than it looked from the outside. Many people led the way with old farmers, and most of the spectators followed.

"Old man, have you never gone out since you've been living here? How long have you been here?"

Yi Shuyuan asked this, and the old farmer looked back at him and said.

"I don't remember, my grandfather's generation has always lived here. Some people want to go out, but they always get lost in the surrounding mountains. If they are lucky, they can come back, but if they are not, they will never come back. "

A young man next to him disagreed and retorted.

"Uncle Li, how do you know they haven't gone out yet?"

"Then why don't you come back and let me know?"

"That's because they have no conscience. If I go out, I will definitely come back and tell you!"

"That's right!" "I think he died in the mountains."

Yi Shuyuan looked at Zheng Ying and Xu Zichang. The latter frowned slightly and the former shook his head slightly.

These two people have been away from the painting in the cave for more than ten years at most, and the painting has been closed, making it impossible for mortals to come in.

But now there are not only people there, but quite a lot of them, and they have also built such a manor to live together.

"Sir, we don't see any livestock here."

Hui Mian whispered in Yi Shuyuan's ear. From its perspective, this place gave it a feeling very similar to the terrifying atmosphere it had when it first encountered the Nine-Life Cat Demon.

"Um."

Yi Shuyuan responded, knowing that everyone else heard Hui Mian's words.

Up ahead is the home of the owner of Wu Village. It is in the center of the manor. Someone came to the owner a long time ago and said that there were outsiders, so before everyone arrived, the owner of the village had already welcomed him out with his family.

The village head actually means the same thing as the village chief. He is dressed like an old farmer and has the same novelty. After a while of polite greetings, he also asked questions that were asked by the village master.

The question is nothing more than how it got in, what is outside, and so on.

Because of the arrival of Yi Shuyuan and others, the entire Zhuangzi became unprecedentedly lively. The old village leader not only hosted a banquet to entertain everyone, but also arranged three rooms for several people to stay.

As Hui Mian said, there are no livestock, so there is no meat such as chicken, duck, beef or sheep in the meal. In addition to vegetables, there is fish.

It was natural to have a deep understanding of each other at the dinner table, and it also allowed Yi Shuyuan and others to know that most of the people here live in Wuzhuang, and there are also scattered residents and even multi-family residential areas in the periphery, but they have all moved out from Wuzhuang. , after all, this place is so big.

At night, every household in Zhuangzi was still talking about outsiders, and Yi Shuyuan and others were all in the same room.

Everyone's expressions were different, and they obviously had different feelings.

"Although I know it's impossible, the people and things here are so real that even the changes in people's anger and energy are not abnormal."

"The key is, where is my junior brother? Or are they actually my junior brothers, at least they appear because of him?"

Cao Yugao's expression was slightly serious.

"Cao has never seen such a situation. How can a person possessed by a demon be so capable and deceive so many of us when we know everything is false? Miss Zheng, you are in this situation Is there any special feeling about the fairy in the painting?"

Zheng Ying also shook her head.

"It's puzzling. Everyone here seems to have their own feelings."

Hui Mian jumped onto Yi Shuyuan's lap and said thoughtfully.

"Everything is real. There are even people who cannot live anymore and move out. There are also things like reclaiming wasteland. Sir, what do you think?"

Yi Shuyuan remained silent. When Hui Mian came to ask, he put away his thoughtful expression and looked around.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, your demonic thoughts have never occurred, right?"

Xu Zichang nodded and answered.

"Thanks to the mysterious magic weapon of the Immortal, there is nothing unusual about Xu."

"Now it's not that my magic weapon is mysterious, but that this place is special. This is obviously not something Gongsun Yin can create casually."

Cao Yugao's heart moved and he looked at Yi Shuyuan.

"What do you mean, Mr. Yi?"

"It's not that Gongsun Yin expected us to come and was prepared, but that we accidentally fell into some kind of change. Gongsun Yin's demon is by no means a simple personal inner demon, nor is it a simple invasion by external demons."

Yi Shuyuan is well versed in the way of change, knows the wonders of Tiangang Earthly Evil, and has experienced several calamities in the way of heaven, and has vaguely understood something.

"Gongsun Yin and his demons are mutually reinforcing each other internally and externally, involving the heavens, and have already suffered the calamity of the demons, and the painting in the cave is just a suitable platform. When we enter the painting at this moment, we are all in the realm of the demons! "

Yi Shuyuan looked at everyone and then looked down at Xiao Shisheng, who was frowning next to him. He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"This is the change of the demon and the movement of the Tao. I just don't know how much the demon weighs and how much the Tao accounts for."

Seeing that even Cao Yugao was puzzled among the crowd, Yi Shuyuan put it aside for the time being. After all, he didn't fully understand it himself.

"Of course, this is just a feeling of Yi, but if Yi's prediction is correct, Gongsun Yin is also among them."

If Xu Zichang's "I am also a devil" made Yi Shuyuan feel the devil in his heart, then everything he saw today gave Yi Shuyuan a new understanding of the word "devil".

There are both internal manifestations and externalizations.

Xu Zichang is an example of being possessed by a demon himself, while Gongsun Yin may not be as Zheng Ying and Xu Zichang originally thought, but some kind of external demon intrusion.

Today's situation is nothing more than two possibilities.

The first type is Gongsun Yin's heavenly demon tribulation. Everything has an inside and an outside, and is the appearance of the heavenly demon. Breaking the tribulation is equal to breaking the demon, and it will also break the mental barriers at the same time.

The second type is that Gongsun Yin has indeed fallen deeply into the devil, and has even turned Tao into a demon. Everything has been transformed by the magic of the demon, and the false is confused with the real.

The former cannot move anything in the realm rashly, but the latter can actually destroy it with force.

Yi Shuyuan meant that there was no need to be too impatient, and that this was also a rare opportunity to observe the way his own world changed.

The rest of the people were originally uneasy or impatient, but seeing Yi Shuyuan's calm and composed appearance, they felt inexplicably calmer.

——

The rhythm of life in this cave painting is almost unchanged. Although the arrival of a few outsiders has brought a lot more talk, it will eventually return to peace.

In Yi Shuyuan's opinion, everyone here seemed to feel that these foreigners would eventually integrate into and live together here. After all, the ancestors were also foreigners at first, and they could not get out even after they came.

Some people were even thinking privately about whether it was possible to marry the girl home, whether it was possible to marry a girl of the right age to a man who looked handsome. Even Cao Yugao was worried about being a widow.

Some time later, Yi Shuyuan and others, who were already relatively familiar with this place, came to a courtyard with a fence by the river more than ten miles away from Zhuangzi. Inside were several houses with earthen walls and thatch roofs. .

"This is it."

A leading child led everyone to the door, and then said to Shi Sheng.

"Zu Shisheng, let's go to the river to catch small fish?"

"OK!"

The children and Shi Sheng ran together to the pebbled shoal over there, while Yi Shuyuan and others stood outside the courtyard and looked inside.

There was someone in the yard, a barefoot old man, who was knitting straw sandals on his hands and knees. The yard was full of various bamboo baskets and piles of bamboo materials. He was obviously a bamboo craftsman.

"Junior brother."

Xu Zichang whispered a little absentmindedly. The old man, who was originally indifferent to outsiders, shook slightly and slowly raised his head. There was surprise and doubt on his face, and he seemed to be thinking hard about something in confusion.

After a long time, the old man spoke.

"伱, who are you?"

Xu Zichang frowned, and the flying sword in the sword box behind him trembled slightly, but it was impossible to take action at this moment.

Zheng Ying stood beside Yi Shuyuan and took a step forward.

"Do you still remember me?"

The old man looked at Zheng Ying and was stunned for a while, then nodded and then frowned and shook his head. When he looked at Cao Yugao, he also frowned, just as Yi Shuyuan passed by.

"I've never met a few of them before, but I feel friendly to them for some reason. I heard that some outsiders are here, are they you?"

Yi Shuyuan was the first to walk into the courtyard. He was obviously the first to investigate everything, but he was extremely sincere to everything here. He was also very respectful when he saw Zhuang Zhong. Compared with other people who were wary, he completely integrated himself into the courtyard. Among them.

At this time, Yi Shuyuan saluted the old man and asked with a smile.

"I am Yi Shuyuan. I got lost here with my friends. Old man, may I ask your surname? How long will you live this year?"

The old man stood up quickly, patted the grass clippings and dust on his hands, and returned a salute to Yi Shuyuan.

"Old man, my surname is Gongsun, and my single name is the character Yu. I am already eighty-two this year!"

"Are there any younger family members at home?"

The old man looked miserable.

"My wife and children died young, and now I am just alone!"

"oh"

Yi Shuyuan nodded slightly, looked at the other people who had also entered the courtyard, glanced at Shi Sheng who was playing on the river beach in the distance, and finally looked at the old man.

"I wonder if the old man has ever heard of the name Gongsun Yin?"

"Gongsun Yin?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he had fallen into a long memory, and it took a while before he spoke again.

"I can't remember it as I get older. Maybe one of my ancestors has this name."

Saying this, the old man laughed again.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I was young, I heard from my elders that our ancestors once had the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, but it's of no use even if we enter here."

Xu Zichang's eyes flashed behind him, and he heard something wrong with this sentence.

"It's really you!"

"Zheng——" There was a sound, and the flying sword in the sword box was unsheathed.

But the flying sword did not fly in a circle and pointed directly at the old man's eyebrows as Xu Zichang had imagined. Instead, it shook a few times in the sky after being unsheathed, and then fell down like a high-altitude object.

"jingle."

The long sword fell in the courtyard. Xu Zichang was startled. He pinched the sword and pointed it. The flying sword only trembled on the ground a few times but could not fly up.

The body is obviously full of magic power, but the magic power of the sword is like a stone sinking into the sea!
