Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

I don’t know if it was because there were villages around, but this was the first time Gu Xing saw a road since leaving Zhennan Pass.

Although the road was not very smooth, there was no weeds or mud on it, which still surprised Gu Xing.

Also because there was a road, after coming out of the cave, at the suggestion of the bear, they walked along the road together.

And at this time, there is a fork in the road.

"I wonder which way Brother Gu is going?" Yu Xiong asked.

Gu Xing pointed in a direction towards the south.

"What a coincidence, we're going this way too."

Next fork in the road.

“Brother Gu…”

Gu Xing was still pointing towards the south.

"What a coincidence! Our village is not far ahead. Brother Gu, come to our village to have a rest and let me receive you well!" Yu Xiong said happily.

Gu Xing hesitated for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

"I'm in a hurry to get on my way. I've been delayed for so long by the snowstorm. I'd better forget it."

Yu Xiong regrets.

Then--

Not far from the village.

Feeling the burning sensation brought by the strange book, Gu Xing's heart moved and he looked at Sally who was confused.

"What, you said you're hungry? Let me see, there's not much food left," Gu Xing said, looking at Yu Xiong with a smile on his face, "Brother Yu, I wonder if there's enough food in the village, can we exchange some?"

When Yu Xiong heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Of course there is food. It's winter, and every household has stored a lot of food."

"I'm so sorry to bother you."

Gu Xing and Yu Xiong were talking and laughing happily, but Sally was sitting on Chen Erniu's back with her mouth shut, looking unhappy.

Of course, she said nothing. She wasn't hungry, and it wasn't time for her to eat.

But Gu Xing used his inner energy to stop her from speaking, and he hasn't released her yet, especially not giving her the chance to ask if there's anything delicious.

Humph, the human world is so dirty!

So, a group of people walked towards the village.

In the village, there were sentries who had already observed their arrival.

Therefore, when he arrived in front of the village, Gu Xing saw a group of people with tears in their eyes.

This snowstorm came suddenly, and Yu Xiong and his companions were unable to return early, so everyone in the village thought they were dead.

I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

When people related to these people heard the news, regardless of whether they were free or not, they all put down what they were doing and ran to the gate of the village to greet them.

However, just as they were about to rush out to welcome Yu Xiong and others, they were stopped by the guards in the village.

"Wait, who are they?" a middle-aged man with a serious and meticulous expression stood up and asked.

"Uncle He, they are our friends who saved us. They are our benefactors."

"Yes, Uncle He, you don't know that we encountered four snow giants, and it was this friend who saved us."

Everyone around Yu Xiong spoke at once for Gu Xing.

After hearing their words, Uncle He's expression eased a little, but he still didn't let the man go. He just looked at Gu Xing.

"Thank you, friend, for saving these useless guys. However, the village has its own rules. In order to avoid strange intrusions, we need to conduct a thorough inspection. I hope you can forgive me."

"Why is it useless..."

"that is……"

The few people who spoke for Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then they grumbled again.

Gu Xing naturally didn't care. Checking this thing had become a habit for him in the Great Zhou. After being out for so long, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Hearing that there was to be another inspection suddenly gave him a feeling of being back in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

How familiar!

However, the inspection method of Hexia Village is completely different from that of Da Zhou.

They took out a brazier and asked Gu Xing to step over it.

The flame on the brazier was very small, and there was only a ball of ash inside, but it was still burning.

Gu Xing naturally did not hesitate, he just took a step forward.

As he crossed, he felt a warm force brushing against his body.

That force did not harm him, nor did it detect the strange aura that he had concealed through various means.

So, Gu Xing successfully stepped over and nothing happened.

"Very good, no problem." Uncle He nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Xing smiled, but the look in his eyes beneath the smile was somewhat indifferent.

Because although it was not detected, the strange book did move when the force passed through the body.

Open it up in your mind.

【Fire pit】

[Strange monsters]

[The burning of corpses creates a fire, which transforms into a fire pit, which has the power to protect others]

【? ? ? 】

The description was simple, but Gu Xing found it very strange.

The weirdness of protecting one party?

Did he see it wrong, or was there a bug in the strange book?

Judging from the weird things he had seen, there were very few people who would protect one side, let alone maintain a neutral attitude towards humans like Sally.

But from this description, it seems that the existence of this village is due to the protection of this fire pit.

When thinking about the fire in Yu Xiong and others' bodies, it seems that even the power for these people to survive comes from this fire pit.

A group of humans relying on a monster for survival, how funny does this sound?

If you think about it carefully, it is said that there are thousands of villages in Xingluo Qianzhai. Does every village have a fire pit?

Although the fire pit seemed to be "good" and weird, Gu Xing was already alert.

The weirdness of human beings can make people crazy and paranoid.

This fire pit is inherently strange, and no one knows what it looks like inside.

However, Gu Xing remained calm and quietly concealed his surprise and vigilance.

Anyway, the purpose of his coming to this village was not the fire pit, but the possible existence represented by the heating of the strange book.

Gu Xing didn't know what to call that thing.

Fragments?

patch?

It seems that none of them are suitable.

However, considering that it can add abilities to the strange book, patch seems to be a more appropriate name than fragment.

The strange book is the key to Gu Xing's current growth in strength, so it is not impossible to take the risk and make a trip to the village just for the patch.

Thinking of this, Sally also got off the cow's back and stepped over the brazier.

Sally's mud shell can resist the detection of Zhennan Pass, so there will naturally be no problem in this small village.

After stepping over the brazier, she obediently walked to Gu Xing's side.

When it was Chen Erniu's turn, Uncle He suddenly said something.

"Friend, is this your pet?"

Gu Xing nodded.

"Well, after we enter the village, my friend, keep a close eye on it. There are some restless spirit pets in the village. Don't let them abduct your spirit pet."

From his tone, Uncle He seemed to be certain that there was nothing wrong with them.

However, what's the matter with the restless pet?

Gu Xing suddenly remembered the purpose of Yu Xiong and the others' trip, which seemed to be to catch a spiritual pet.

And spiritual pets are monsters, which means there are many monsters in this village?

Before Gu Xing could figure it out, Chen Erniu also stepped over the brazier.

Seeing this, Uncle He finally smiled, and then he said.

"Friends, welcome to Hexia Village."
