We discussed for a while and were basically sure that what Xiaoxue and I met were not gods. Gods would not dare to behave like this. Since they are not gods, why should we be afraid? Heirs of the authentic Yin Yang family, thousand-year-old demon foxes, and reincarnated Arhats, such an invincible iron triangle

Who is the group afraid of!

The biggest suspicion lies in the village chief Yilan. Yilan was named by the villagers in Yuangui, and his surname is still unclear. Not only is he the only person in the village who has a long life, he is also the only person who has gone away from the village to study in the city.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get in touch with him, so I decided to hide nearby and wait for him to come out. In fact, Xiaoxue and I were still a little scared and didn't dare to rush directly into the village.

Compass, Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei still hid far away, and I was the only one looking for opportunities near the village. Firstly, only I could be invisible for a long time, and secondly, only Xiaoxue could see the things in and outside the village from a higher angle.

In this situation, other people would be in the way.

We searched for a cemetery for a long time. It was already around two o'clock in the morning, the weather was cold and it was starting to rain lightly. I secretly cursed the bad luck, so I could only find a place under the cliff that was tilted out from the rain, and sat in it, half asleep and half asleep.

Practice Qigong, practice Yin Yang Jue.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiaoxue suddenly said: “Someone came out...it’s that Yi Lan!”

I hurriedly stopped and jumped up, but with a "bang" sound I hit my head on the rock above, which caused great pain.

Xiaoxue giggled: "Master, you are so excited."

I was speechless. It wasn’t that I couldn’t hold my breath after going through so many things. It was just that it was so weird here. The sudden appearance of this doll village chief really made me a little excited. At this time, the sky was bright and it was still drizzling.

Most people should still be in bed, why did he come out?

Xiaoxue said: "He walked out of the village, looking forward and backward, looking scheming. Hum, to paraphrase your master's words, 'If his expression is not correct, there must be adultery'."

I rubbed my head and stood still. With Xiaoxue watching, there was no need for me to worry. I would wait until he was far away from the village before taking action. If necessary, just ask Xiaoxue to control him.

Yi Lan stopped and walked, looking left and right, as if hesitating something, or afraid of being seen, but he walked along the road to the cliff. I was a little surprised. Could it be that he quietly left the village to find me?

?

I jumped out of my hiding place and approached him from the side. When he walked to the bottom of the cliff, I deliberately made a little noise to startle him. He turned around and saw me, and was stunned for a moment. His face had a strange expression, and he was a little surprised.

, and a little nervous, looking very embarrassed. After hesitating for five seconds, he nodded to me, glanced around nervously, and then walked quickly towards me.

He actually came to find me! I suppressed the surprise in my heart and looked at him calmly with a smile, as if I had expected that he would come to me.

Yilan seemed to have made a lot of determination before walking over, but when he was three or four meters in front of me, his eyes began to flicker again, and then he showed a very forced smile: "Hello, you are still here and haven't left yet?"

I was a little dissatisfied with his capriciousness and grinding, and said expressionlessly: "If I leave, where will you find me?"

Yilan was very nervous and showed that shy expression. In fact, judging from his facial features, he is not a timid and unintentional person. He may be used to using this kind of smile to hide his inner nervousness.

Reduce others' vigilance towards him. Who would be highly vigilant about an introverted, somewhat shy young man? But he couldn't hide it from my eyes, and I saw through his tricks at a glance.

He had no intention of speaking, so I had to speak first: "How old are you this year?"

This question was as ordinary as meeting a friend on the road and asking him if he had eaten, but Yi Lan was very nervous: "I, I... am twenty-three years old."

I saw that what he told was a lie. I secretly used the power dispersion method to increase my mental and momentum suppression. My eyes were a bit sharp, but not hostile. I wanted to let him know that I was not easy to lie, but I did not fight with him.

means to be an enemy.

Yi Lan sensed my momentum and pressure, and quickly changed her words: "Well, that was me lying to people outside. In fact, I... I am thirty-two years old."

I was a little surprised. On the surface, he was not even twenty-three years old, but he was actually thirty-two years old! Xiaoxue muttered: "You are really good at pretending to be young!" At the same time, I also admired Compass, he is really discerning!

After revealing the secret of his age, Yilan seemed to be brave, his expression became firm, and he spoke fluently: "My name is Huang Yilan, and I am the current village head of Laozhaigou. This village has not been included in the administrative management, so I

The village chief is not recognized outside. I know that you are not ordinary people, and I have some puzzling things that I want to ask you for, so I came here to find you."

I nodded and my expression softened a lot. It would be best if he took the initiative to cooperate. He is a person who lives in a special environment and has a strong willpower and sense of resistance. Even if Xiaoxue confuses him, he may not be able to take out him.

The deepest things are hidden deep inside.

Yilan continued: "Something happened here that ordinary people can't understand. It has troubled me for a long time. I want to ask you to help me find the answer. But you must first swear not to tell anyone what I said, and not to hurt anyone."

Anyone in the village, if you can't do it, I won't tell you even if you kill me."

I said solemnly: "I don't like to swear randomly. For those who keep their word, every word is a vow. Why should I swear again? I can promise you that I will strictly keep your secrets and will not take the initiative to hurt anyone."

.”

Yilan was very satisfied with my answer and continued: "It was only when I went to study abroad that I discovered that there was a gap in my age and appearance. This gap... is even more obvious among other people in our village."

I bluntly pointed to the point: "They never age at all!"

"Yes, they have been like this since I can remember. No one grows up, and no one gets older. It's like... a movie is played over and over again. Everyone else looks the same, but I am the only one.

People grow up." At this point, Yi Lan revealed a helplessness and uneasiness that reached deep into his bones.

My shock is indescribable. Although I had already thought of this possibility, when I heard it from Yilan's mouth, I was still shocked. The immortality and eternal death pursued by countless ascetics and emperors actually happened in such a worldly world.

An isolated place appears, but are they immortal? Or are they no longer alive?

I suppressed the shock in my heart: "Since you have been outside, met people outside, and learned modern science, what are the differences between people here and people outside?"

Yi Lan said while thinking: "Except for the fact that their appearance has not changed, they are the same as normal people. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. They eat, drink and have diarrhea normally. Before I was fifteen years old, I almost didn't know that they were different...

…Later I realized that they never had contact with outsiders, did not accept modern things, and did not want to change anything existing,

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the village, and few outsiders pass by... I am the only one who is different. They used to be very good to me, but now they are wary of me. They seem to be guarding a secret together and only hide it.

I am alone. I think you are a capable person and you should have been to many places. Is this the case in other places?"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head. How could I explain this? I asked: "Are no children born in your village?"

"No, no one was born, no one died."

"Where is your father?"

"My mother said he has passed away, but I don't even know where his grave is. I only worship him at home every Tomb Sweeping Day."

"..."

I asked more than a dozen questions and finally came up with something valuable. This is also the result of Yilan's observations over the years. Every full moon night, that is, on the 14th, 15th, and 16th days, there are

The residents of the village hide in their houses during the moonlight; the villagers all respect and believe in the fairy in the temple. Every household must go to burn incense and worship the gods during festivals, but no one knows the origin and name of this fairy.

.

I had suspected that the strange thing was Yilan before, but now I can confirm that the strange thing has nothing to do with him, and he is extremely distressed by this matter. On one side are his close relatives and fellow villagers who have treated him with great kindness, and he cannot let him down; on the other side is

Feeling isolated and rejected, as well as extremely curious and uneasy, it is no wonder that he was suffering internally and was in a dilemma.

When a person finds that he is different from the people around him, the lingering loneliness, tension and fear are enough to drive people crazy, not to mention being in such a mysterious and weird village, so Yilan also treats the villagers

Fearful, he unknowingly became submissive in front of them. Today he mustered up the courage to come out to find "foreign aid" because his tolerance has reached the extreme. This is a twisted place and not ideal.

The Village of Eternal Life.

I sympathize with him very much. Since the strange things are not caused by him, then the source of all strange things must be in the small temple in the village!

"What do the statues in the temple look like?" I asked Yilan.

"It was carved by a carpenter in the village. It can only be seen that it is a woman. It has been darkened by incense for many years."

"Isn't there any legend about this female fairy?"

Yilan shook his head, and I asked again: "Did you see the full moon and the bright moonlight last night?"

"Yes, but it disappeared quickly. Then I looked at the sky and there was no moon..." Yilan seemed to have thought of something, thought for a few seconds and suddenly said, "By the way, I heard my mother say once when I was very young,

There was a time when there was a full moon every night, and there may have been other things mentioned, but I really can’t remember. It was you who mentioned the full moon just now, so I have a vague impression."

There is a full moon every day? There is such a thing, and the villagers are unwilling to go out when the moon is full, but when the fairy appears, it is full moon again. Is this a coincidence or is there some special connection?

I wanted to ask again, but Xiaoxue suddenly said to me: "Several people are coming here quickly, maybe they are looking for Yilan!"

I said to Yilan. Yilan's face changed drastically, and she turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "I will find another opportunity to come out. Please wait for me nearby. Please help me with this matter no matter what, but don't

Hurt everyone, they are all good people."

I agreed, and he hurriedly walked back. Not far away, he met five people leaving the village. After saying a few words, he walked towards the village.

With Yilan as the "inside agent", it was only a matter of time before the secret was revealed. I was in a good mood, so I went back to the cliff to find Compass. Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei told what happened, and they were also very excited.

The food in Xiaoxue's Qiankun bag was enough for us to eat for a few days, so we settled down in a nearby rock crevice sheltered from the wind. When I turned back after a while, I found four strong men guarding the edge of the ancient road on the cliff.

There were also a few more wandering people nearby.

My heart was a little worried again. The villagers were so alert. Was it because of the noise I made last night, or because they discovered that Yilan was "colluding" with me?
