"To be honest, I don't know how I got here. I just wandered into the fog by mistake, and when I came out, I was here." Shen Luo saw that the other party's words were sincere, his expression softened, and he said after thinking for a moment.
"Fellow Daoist broke in by mistake through the fog. Could it be that the fog can lead to the outside world?" Ying Luo's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.
"I don't know about this either. Miss Ying Luo, can you tell me first, where exactly is this place?" Shen Luo became more and more confused as he listened, and asked with a frown.
"This is Longevity Village in the Baoxiang Kingdom North Bridge Commandery." Ying Luo replied.
"Baoxiang Kingdom, isn't that Western Cattle Continent Earth Realm..." Shen Luo was shocked when he heard this.
He had read a previous travelogue in the audience, and saw the record of the Baoxiang Kingdom in it. He knew that it was very far away from Great Tang at Southern Jambudvipa, so he muttered to himself, this time when he fell asleep, he actually crossed a continent directly?
"Fellow Daoist, you are not from this country?" Ying Luo said in surprise.
"I did travel from somewhere else. To be precise, I come from a place called 'Great Tang'." Shen Luo came back to his senses, smiled at Ying Luo, and said.
"Great Tang... No wonder I don't know what to call my fellow Daoist because of his weird clothes. Thank you very much for your help this time, saving Longevity Village from the fire and water. Please pay your respects to Ying Ruo." Ying Ruo said, a smile appeared on his face, and he gave Shen Luo his hand.
"Miss Ying, you don't have to be polite. My name is Shen Luo. I should be a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me big brother." Shen Luo hurriedly returned the gesture and said.
"Brother Shen." Ying Luo responded cheerfully.
"Miss Ying Luo, can you tell me what's going on with the fog outside? From what you just said, it seems that the fog can't reach the outside?" Shen Luo asked again, with a solemn look on his face.
"Brother Shen knows nothing about the fog, how do you get out of it safely?" Ying Luo heard this, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"I really got here by accident. There is absolutely no deception about this matter. If the girl knows something, please tell the truth." Shen Luo said seriously.
"Actually, I don't know what this fog is about. I only know that after Heavenly Demon Ends the World hundreds of years ago, the area around Longevity Village began to be filled with fog, and our place was also isolated." Ying Luo saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly.
"What will happen if someone walks in?" Shen Luo asked with raised eyebrows, but in his mind, he remembered the "Demon Creatures Swallow Heaven, Heavenly Fire Descends" mentioned by Yu Yan father and son before. It seemed that they were said to be hundreds of years ago. I don't know if the two are the same thing.
"It is said that once people step into it, they will lose their way, and if they walk a little further, they will be directly trapped and killed. At the beginning, there were villagers who kept trying to enter it to explore the way, but after so many people died, no one dared to set foot in it anymore." Ying Luo said with some bitterness.
"In other words, you have been isolated by this fog for hundreds of years? How is this possible! It is impossible for you to survive after being besieged for so long." Shen Luo said with some disbelief. In his opinion, the cultivated land outside the village does not seem like it can support many people.
"When the fog first began to surround the village, the situation was not so bad. At that time, there were fertile fields outside the village that could be cultivated, and each household had domesticated livestock. There were also several Fangcun Mountain's Outer Disciple stationed in the village. Under their leadership, although life was difficult, they were still barely able to survive. However, many things happened later, and the situation became worse every year." Ying Luo paused at this point.
"I've heard girls mention Fangcun Mountain many times, but I don't know what Fangcun Mountain is?" Shen Luo asked again.
"The big mountain that our Longevity Village is leaning against is Fangcun Mountain. When I was young, I heard my father mention that Immortal Residence used to live on this mountain, and there was also a real sect that cultivated immortality. At that time, the village was protected by him, and everything was going smoothly. There were also many young men in the village, who could all be selected to learn spells under Fangcun Mountain's immortal sect." Ying Luo said, with a hint of yearning in his eyes.
"Since there is such a powerful Immortal Cultivation Sect, why didn't you ask for help from them after you were trapped?" Shen Luo frowned.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. Those Fangcun Mountain disciples in the village used special means to send messages to the mountain, but unfortunately no one responded. Later they also took the risk and tried to climb the mountain. In the end, three people were gone, and only one of my ancestors The man escaped and came back. He was already a Early Soul Condensation Stage monk, and he was seriously injured and died when he came back. He only left a warning, 'Don't go to the mountain,' and passed away." Ying Luo sighed and said.
"Maybe something happened to Fangcun Mountain." Shen Luo said thoughtfully.
"We don't know what happened on the mountain. In short, after Heavenly Demon Ends the World, the gods there seemed to have disappeared and never showed up again. But everyone in the village still imagined that one day the gods on the mountain would come back." Ying Luo said with a bitter smile.
"No wonder you said I am monk Fangcun Mountain in front of the villagers." Shen Luo suddenly said.
"This is really a helpless move. The monsters have been attacking again and again, and the villagers have long been exhausted and almost desperate. Only by saying that you are a god from Fangcun Mountain can I arouse their last glimmer of hope. Otherwise, even if the monsters no longer attack, they will not be able to survive." Ying Luo said with a dark expression.
Shen Luo Recalling the appearance of the villagers before, and thinking of their numb and desperate expressions, I suddenly felt that the girl in front of me was really having a hard time.
"This can be considered a white lie, but after all, it is not a long-term solution." Shen Luo sighed.
"It is better to fight with hope than to wait to die in despair... Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for not exposing my lies before." Ying Luo said.
"That's okay. But I'm a little surprised. Apart from you, there seems to be no other immortal cultivator in this village?" Shen Luo shook his head and said.
"Originally, there was actually another one, but after Dantian was injured, she lost all her Magic Power, and now she is no different from an ordinary person." Ying Luo heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
"Is the person you are talking about the white-haired mother-in-law with a bunch of children?" Shen Luo asked suddenly after thinking about it for a moment.
"How did you know?" Ying Luo was a little surprised.
"All the villagers, whether they believe that I am a Fangcun Mountain monk or not, the way they look at me is different from her Taiyi." Shen Luo said, remembering the look in the old woman's eyes.
"It is indeed her. But you don't need to worry about it. Granny Ma She just has a weird temper. Apart from me and those children, she hardly talks to other people in the village." Ying Luo said hurriedly.
"Those children..." Shen Luo said here, slightly hesitant.
