"At that time, most of the people staying in the village were children, and the adults had gone out to farm, so when we woke up, we found that the adults at home were gone, and we were the only ones left." While drinking tea , Meng Po recalled what happened at that time.

"I lived in the village back then and didn't need to farm, so I was brought here when the incident happened." Shibi Sanren said.

"There is no room for resistance at all. I remember that time... what was my cultivation level at that time? Eh? I can't remember." Shibi Sanren said, stunned.

Granny Meng, who was drinking tea next to him, lowered her eyelids and said to him, "Out of body."

Shibi Sanren clapped his palms and said happily: "Yes! I was out of my body at that time! It was because when I really needed to exercise my spiritual consciousness, I found that cultivating spiritual consciousness in the village would get twice the result with half the effort, so I stayed in the village all the time. of."

"Is there nothing you can do if you go out of your body?" Du Nan asked in surprise.

"Uh...Actually, I was already dead when I came to the village. It was my spirit who came to the village." Shibi Sanren said awkwardly.

Du Nan: ...

"Because my spiritual consciousness is usually higher than that of immortal cultivators of the same level, so after I died, my spirit didn't dissipate for a while. When I thought of such a place, I suddenly missed Master, so I just walked and walked. I don't know why. I walked to Hongtiao Village, and when I got there, I realized that it was because there were many white flowers and plants in the area, or because my spiritual consciousness was really too strong. In short, I felt that I would not dissipate for a while. I didn't want to take others away, so I simply wanted to introduce my experience of cultivating spiritual consciousness to everyone and then dissipate it. As a result, the book was finished and it hadn't dissipated, so I simply stayed in the village and gave it to the village. Children should be Mr. Enlightenment or something, but in the end—" Shibi Sanren sighed: "I was caught in this kind of place."

"Catch?" Thinking of the big hand mentioned by Po Meng, Du Nan thought deeply.

"Well, that's right, just arrest." Shibi Sanren said affirmatively: "After suddenly appearing here, we spent a long time exploring the surrounding area and found that this place is really a strange place."

"How strange?" Zhu Ji asked.

Shibi Sanren looked at him with a very terrified expression, and said for a while: "This place is really wonderful!"

"Huh?" Du Nan and Zhu Ji were taken aback for a moment, never expecting such a strange method.

"The soil is fertile, and we have a lot of white flowers here... By the way, the white flowers are called by the village, and the people outside are called the Ningshen grass. It can be said to be a very rare and precious fairy grass. That alone is enough Oh, there is a spiritual stone mine not far outside, there is a spiritual vein in the west, besides that, there are fairy grass and fairy flowers everywhere, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure land!"

"Just no one."

"Except for these people on our side, we haven't found anyone else anywhere."

"However, people come in here from time to time."

"To be precise, there is a spirit coming in."

"The ones that come in are all disabled spirits, and they will randomly appear anywhere here. Those who can see their shadows are already relatively strong spirits, but most of these spirits don't exist for a long time. Consciousness basically dissipates as you walk, and only a few can repair their spirits through the breath of white flowers here, and gradually become more and more complete, and finally reach the place with the most white flowers."

"That's the village." Shibi Sanren pointed to his feet.

"But even at this time, most of the spirits still don't have any consciousness. Ameng set up a pot at the entrance of the village and cooked white flower soup for them to drink."

"It's completely free! It's a lot of work, but this recipe is provided by me. I found that the white flowers and herbs cooked in this way are the most effective and help the spirit to gather the most." After complimenting Po Meng, Shibi Sanren praised again to boast about myself.

"I can't help it. There are fewer and fewer people in the village. Of these people, it's good if one out of a thousand people can stay, and the number of people in the village can be larger." Granny Meng said.

It was only then that Du Nan suddenly realized that it was out of sheer kindness that Granny Meng sent pots and soup at the entrance of the village to help these broken souls repair themselves!

"These people in the village..." After hesitating for a while, Du Nan finally asked.

Chewing a melon seed in her mouth, Po Meng said: "I am the last of the villagers who came to this inexplicable place together back then."

"Whether dead or alive."

"Not counting this guy, this guy still came from outside." She pointed to the Stone Wall Sanren next to her.

Shibi Sanren waved at her: "Don't say that! We have lived together in the village for so many years, and I am no different from the people in Hongji Village!"

"Before this group of guys came over, we were dependent on each other for quite a while!" He pointed to the bustling crowd beside him, and whispered.

Continuing to eat melon seeds, Meng Po ignored him, her eyes covered by her eyelids stared at her feet, she looked more like a statue at this time.

Looking at such an old woman, for some reason, the scene of that year suddenly appeared in Du Nan's mind.

There are all kinds of places where immortal cultivators dream of precious treasures, but only Po Meng is left alive.

Even the spirit is only Shibi Sanren.

In this bustling Huangquan, there are only two of them left.

The once bustling village is now quiet, a kind of almost dead silence.No amount of Concentration Grass can bring familiar people back, she really wants them back, right?She really wanted to make the village lively again, right?

Then I chose to share the soup at the entrance of the village.

"This is Old Tang. He is the person who has lived in the village the longest besides me. Uh...not a person, but a spirit." Shibi Sanren spoke, and he began to introduce the "people" in the house to Du Nan and the others. up.

After he finished speaking, a young boy with a baby face in the corner nodded towards them and smiled shyly.

"This is Sanqi. She couldn't remember her own name, so she named it after something in the kitchen. Later, those who couldn't remember their names simply followed this method."

It seems that [-]% of them have forgotten their own name - Du Nan thought first.

It's no wonder that he and Dang Gui had been together for so many days before being discovered. Their nicknames themselves conformed to the naming rules here——he thought immediately.

While he was thinking this way, Sanren Shibi introduced everyone in the room to him, and the last person he introduced was a person standing in front of the window with a serious face staring outside—"That's Mahayana."

"Don't look at his whole body. In fact, his head is still in a mess. He can only say one thing. Don't ask him. If you ask him, it's 'I am a Mahayana practitioner', so we simply call him Mahayana."

Du Nan was taken aback: Mahayana!This is the person with the highest cultivation level that he knows after coming to this time, but, did he also come here after Mahayana?

Noticing Du Nan's gaze, the man by the window glanced at him, and then said to him solemnly: "I am a Mahayana practitioner."

Du Nan: ...

"So, what exactly is this place?" I know many things, but I still don't know the things that I don't understand.Du Nan was at a loss as to where this place was.

"About this question, I have a guess." Zhu Ji's voice sounded from behind him.

Standing at the door, looking at Shibi Sanren and others in the house, Zhu Ji said calmly, "Isn't this a man-made space?"

"Ah?" Du Nan was taken aback by his guess. Unexpectedly, the Shibi Sanren behind him was startled first, and then clapped his hands.

"That's what happened!"

Others also looked at Zhu Ji in surprise, while Shibi Sanren continued: "You are really sharp!"

"We didn't think about it at all at the beginning. We just thought that we were taken to other places by the power of no one. They came, coupled with observation all day long, and finally came to this conclusion."

"This is a space artificially created by a certain powerful person. He captured us... No, in fact, what he wanted to capture was not us at all, but the land under our feet, the land that can grow the grass of concentration."

"We are just ants in the soil, we were brought here by accident." When he said this, Shibi Sanren showed a wry smile.

"It's just that we guessed this point because we have observed it for many years, but how did you think of it as soon as we said it?" Without thinking about what happened to him, Shibi Sanren just looked at Zhu Ji curiously.

Smiling slightly, Zhu Ji pointed at Du Nan: "Because of him."

Everyone looked at Du Nan curiously: I didn't hear this little brother say anything just now...

Zhu Ji said: "This guy is a chaotic fairy bone. He has a space. I lived in his space for a period of time by chance. Although I was drowsy during that time, I was conscious. Whenever he took things from outside, When I looked inside, a pair of hands reached out to the sky."

"So, when you mentioned big hands, I thought of space. What's more, you said that there are treasures everywhere here. It seems that many treasures were artificially captured and put together forcibly. It is full of artificial atmosphere."

Hearing this, everyone nodded to express their understanding, but Du Nan himself was surprised.

That... He never knew that when he was picking up something, the people inside saw such a scene...

"So that's the case, no wonder you guessed it all at once." Shibi Sanren nodded, and then looked at Du Nan: "But this little brother's space is really strange, it's so big?"

Seeing Du Nan looking at him in confusion, Shibi Sanren immediately stroked his beard and said, "This place is already big enough. There is only one reason why your space cannot be opened, and that is that your space is bigger than this place."

"Do you have storage bags on your body? The storage bags should be usable, because the space of the storage bags is much smaller than here."

As expected of a person who once wrote a book, even if it is not a bestseller, Shibi Sanren is a very knowledgeable person, and he immediately answered Du Nan's doubts that have been existing all this time.

However, since this period of time, he still has another doubt in his heart, and this is the right time, so he immediately asked this doubt: "If the people who are brought into this space by that person are the people from Granny Meng's hometown If so, where did everyone come from? And the many people we met on the road..."

Du Nan will never forget the shock when he saw many strange people walking on the road for the first time.

Stroking his beard, Shibi Sanren looked at him: "This involves another secret of this space."

Hearing this, Du Nan and Zhu Ji looked at him together, intending to listen to him in detail.

"Let's start. Seeing that there are good things everywhere in this space, we thought it was some great power who wanted to get all these treasures together for our own convenience. Who knew that after waiting and waiting, we didn't get any more treasures?" The man took the things inside, but after a while, a lot of remnant souls were suddenly put in here."

"It's dark, it's scary." He also imitated the expressions he had when he saw those people back then.

"They all died with missing arms and broken legs. From what we can see, they look like soldiers who died on the battlefield." Shibi Sanren said, pointing to a person who was introduced in the next room: "Hey, Lao Han was one of those soldiers who died at that time." One of the soldiers."

"At that time, he was severely disabled, but he persisted later, and the others basically disappeared."

"The same thing happens every once in a while, and every time a lot of remnant souls come in, and the number of times is too high, we have a guess—" Looking at Du Nan, Shibi Sanren said word by word: "This Places probably don’t exist for the convenience of taking treasures.”

"It's for gathering spirits."

"Ju Ling?" Du Nan frowned.

Shibi Sanren nodded: "That's right, it's Gathering Spirits."

"There are all kinds of cultivation methods in this world, and when the cultivation level is high, there will be more unimaginable cultivation methods."

"For example, the mighty person who brought us here is probably following the path of faith."

"The way of faith?" Du Nan was taken aback again.

Shibi Sanren nodded again: "This is a method that can only be used by a great immortal cultivator with a very high level of cultivation. He builds a small world by himself, and raises a soul in it. As the god of the soul inside, it becomes the other party's belief. The power of belief is said to be powerful. Tight, it’s just that I’ve only heard about it, and I’ve seen it in person...it’s still here.”

"Didn't those scattered spirits disperse? However, there is Concentrating Grass here, and perhaps other treasures here have similar effects. Over time, those scattered spirits survived here, becoming children, and then adults. They are not at all I know why I appear here, and I don’t think about it. Apart from eating, I chant every day, and we don’t know what they chant. I think it’s the purpose of the great cultivator. They came more and more, and built a city, and their chanting can be heard from far away every day, which is scary."

"Then suddenly one day, that big hand appeared again and took them all away. After that, those people never came back."

Shibi Sanren stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "We guess, it was sacrificed."

"The great immortal cultivators probably sacrificed them when they were desperate."
