Chapter 287 The Way of Nature, Zhongzhou Immortal Mansion

Chapter 284: The Way of Nature, Zhongzhou Immortal Mansion (The first half of the chapter is a bit watery, sorry!)

Xia Qi walked in the countryside and came to an ancient village on foot. A large area of ​​ancient locust trees surrounded the village. Each ancient tree was some years old. Some barks were cracked, and some trunks formed holes. Do you know how many years it has been growing?

The trees are full of shade, and the air is a bit heavy. The ancient village is not big, but there are more than fifty families. Their ancestors have lived here for generations and have never moved.

Xia Qi strolled here, looked around, and soon found an old farmer leaning under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness. He slowed down, bowed lightly, and said:
"Old man, where is this place?"

"Why is it so desolate?"

The farmer in question seemed to be startled by Xia Qi. He opened his cloudy eyes with a little sparkle and looked at Xia Qi carefully for a long time, as if he was trying to identify Xia Qi's identity. Xia Qi was not in a hurry. After waiting patiently for a while, the father-in-law said: "This is a deserted house, and it falls under the jurisdiction of Lucheng."

"A desolate house is naturally desolate, otherwise how could it be called a desolate house?"

Xia Qizhuangruo nodded suddenly, saluted and thanked, "Thank you very much, father-in-law."

The old man waved his hand, then lay back down and closed his eyes to enjoy the coolness.

It was not until later in the evening, when the sun was no longer so fierce, that the old man slowly got up and walked towards a small courtyard in the village.

But when he got halfway, he stopped and stared at a young man in plain clothes with a gentle smile who was surrounded by some children.

Seeing this, the villagers on the side quickly stepped forward to check and found that the old man was fine and just in a daze. They looked in the direction the old man was looking, patted his head and explained: "Third uncle, this is a traveling scholar named Xia Qi said he wanted to live in our village for a while, experience the countryside, and teach the children how to read and write."

"The village chief has already agreed. No, the hut outside the ancestral hall has been arranged for him and is also used as a classroom."

"what?!"

"I disagree!"

Unexpectedly, the old man jumped up when he heard this and objected loudly.

"What's wrong, Third Uncle, is there something wrong with this man?" The villagers didn't know why the old man had such a big reaction.

"Confused, confused!"

"At noon, this young man once asked me for directions and inquired about the village. I could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, so I wanted to send him away. Who would have thought that he would still stay?!"

"Not ordinary people?"

"Could he be the son of some family?" The villagers were even more puzzled and speculated.

"Humph, if that's really the case, I suspect he is a practitioner and an immortal. Do you understand immortals?" Unexpectedly, the third uncle snorted disdainfully and stared at the villager loudly. shouted.

"Immortal? Wouldn't it be better if he really was an immortal?"

"Maybe our village can also have an immortal?"

Compared to the old man's annoyance, the villager thought it would be better if this was the case. As a result, the old man shouted even more excitedly, "Okay, what a fart!"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Go and find that brat Goudan!"

After that, he walked straight towards the group of children and the young man regardless of the reaction of the villagers.

"Young man, I don't know who you are and what the purpose of coming here is, but I advise you, don't be too curious and leave here as soon as possible!"

"This is good for you and this village!"

This young man was Xia Qi. Facing this father-in-law who spoke in a bad tone, Xia Qi not only did not get angry, but his eyes lit up and he said with great interest: "It seems that my father-in-law knows something?"

"Humph!"

"You are indeed no ordinary person!"

After hearing this, the father-in-law became more convinced of his guess and asked:

"The fact that you are able to come here and stay here means you must be feeling something, right?!"

Seeing that Xia Qi just nodded without retorting, my father-in-law had determined that Xia Qi was a cultivator, so he said directly: "Since you asked, I won't hide it from you!"

"Appreciate further details!"

""

"As for unusual? That's a long story."

"It is said from our ancestors that this place was the residence of the ancient emperor. There are things left by the emperor. Moreover, this place is indeed strange. There is nothing unusual about mortals living here. But once a powerful monk comes here to enlightenment, something will happen. The calamity has passed away inexplicably."

"These ancient locust trees around the village have grown for tens of thousands of years. They neither grow nor die. They have not changed year after year."

"These supernatural powers attracted many practitioners to come here to enlightenment, but in the end many practitioners died here, and no one dared to come here."

"When the last person came, it was almost 80 years ago. Those younger generations didn't know this, or didn't know that you came here for this reason, so they let you stay like this!"

"So are you afraid that I will die here because of my enlightenment, and then the elders behind me will be angry here?"

The old man didn't speak, but that was what he meant. Xia Qi also understood and said: "I am indeed a practitioner, and I also want to practice and enlightenment here."

Seeing that the old man wanted to dissuade him, Xia Qi said again: "Well, I'll leave you a letter. If something really happens to me, my elders will not embarrass you anymore after seeing this letter!"

The old man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the situation was stronger than the situation. Xia Qi had already admitted that he was a practitioner. Ordinary people like them couldn't drive him away even if they wanted to. Even if they reported it to the Lucheng steward, it would probably not help. , can't change anything, because this is something that has really happened, and it's not like they haven't done this before, so it is the best to have such a result.

"Ugh!"

The old man sighed helplessly and returned to his home with the help of the village chief and others who came over, so Xia Qi stayed here.

Every day after teaching, I would walk around. Sometimes I would stare at the big locust tree, and sometimes I would enjoy the cool air and sit quietly under the big locust tree like my father-in-law.

Seeing that Xia Qi had nothing to do in this place for two or three months, my father-in-law felt relieved a little. Instead of urging Xia Qi to leave, he often told about the people and things that happened here, many of which were passed down by word of mouth. , Xia Qi just listened quietly.In fact, Xia Qi has already realized something here, and he also knows who the legendary emperor is who lived here in his later years. The reason why he has not left after knowing this is because he feels that the avenue here is very interesting. , very interesting, this emperor is also very interesting, very interesting.

This kind of avenue may be called the natural way. It contains the meaning of being born without struggle. There is no secret technique or mysterious method, but only a meaning. It is very mysterious. It cultivates the mind and nature, and has a kind of calmness. The power comes down, and it also involves things like vegetation and vitality. It is this Taoist charm that makes these big locust trees neither grow nor die. They remain unchanged year after year, as if the years have been far away from them. .

"Emperor Hengyu is not an ordinary emperor!"

Sitting under the big locust tree, Xia Qi couldn't help but sigh like this, and he was also a little surprised. He had gained a lot.

Yes, this is the place where Emperor Hengyu, or the emperor who founded the Guhua Dynasty, lived in his house in his later years. These Taoist rhymes were also left behind by him.

Xia Qi has long known that Emperor Hengyu was born in the ancient star of Ziwei. After becoming enlightened, he established the Jiang family in the Eastern Wasteland of Beidou. Later, he had a conflict with the restricted area. Then he left for Zhongzhou and established the Guhua Dynasty. He was a very powerful emperor. , but I didn’t expect that I would have such a feeling in my later years. If Emperor Hengyu really gets through, maybe there will be another pedestrian on the mortal road.

Xia Qi stayed here for half a year, but he was finally leaving, but not to other places, but to the place behind these big locust trees.

The old trees are dry and many of the main trunks have become hollow holes, but they are still alive, like dragons lying here. They have been like this for 10,000+ years. They are so magical that they are not even called miracles. Pass.

But who would have thought that these big locust trees are actually connected to another place?Even if there is a legend in the village that every once in a while, loud shouts of death will be heard from the tree trunks, but no one knows the reason.

If Xia Qi hadn't arrived here on a whim, he didn't know when he would have been discovered.

"brush!"

A Taoist rhyme emanated from Xia Qi's body and resonated with the ancient locust trees surrounding the entire village. As a result, the Taoist rhyme hidden in the trees was aroused, and there were shouts of death, dragons' roars, phoenixes' cries, and unicorn roars. Howls and various sounds resounded in the tree hole.

Not long after, the power of space began to brew. Xia Qishi walked into the cave of an ancient tree. Then a ripple appeared on the spot, and then he disappeared out of thin air, leaving nothing behind.

Because Xia Qi did not specifically avoid the villagers when he was standing under the tree, the villagers discovered that Xia Qi was missing soon after he entered the tree hole.

Not long after, a few bold villagers approached the place where Xia Qi last appeared. They groped the tree trunk and slowly explored it, but found nothing.

"Pedal", "Pedal", "Pedal"...

Suddenly, a villager took a few steps back in horror, sat on the ground, and pointed at the tree trunk tremblingly, unable to say a complete sentence.

"There is a sound!!"

The other villagers were hesitant, but they still carefully attached their ears to the tree trunk and listened.

"Undead Emperor!!"

In fact, this is not any language, but just a spiritual thought, which seems to have traveled through the ages and traveled for hundreds of millions of years. It seems to have penetrated a star field and reappeared in the world, but when it falls on the ears of mortals, it is just a human voice. , no more effects.

"Ugh!!"

The third uncle who came over after hearing about this incident looked at the big locust tree and let out a long sigh with a very sad expression. Unexpectedly, the scene he was most worried about and least expected to see happened after all. There was another practitioner. They disappeared inexplicably in their village.

And it also involves some special things. If word spreads, it is likely that this place will be even more implicated. How can this not worry him?Not worried?
"What's in here?"

"Did Brother Xia Qi go inside?"

"This voice sounds very much like his?!"

"Is it the fairy world? Brother Xia Qi has entered the fairy world?"

Looking at the villagers talking among themselves, the old man's brows furrowed a little higher and deeper, and his cloudy eyes were full of helplessness and sorrow!
There is no time, no distance, and no light in the space passage. There is only boundless darkness, but this is nothing to Xia Qi. He is very familiar with this.

"Is it because Emperor Hengyu lives here?!" Xia Qi secretly guessed, maybe this small world will give him the answer.

This is not a dark underground world, nor is it in the heart of a mountain. On the contrary, the sun is very bright and the sky is clear blue without any impurities, like a huge sapphire lying upside down.

Xia Qi slowly walked forward. In the distance, ancient trees towered into the sky, mountains and rivers were primitive, old vines were like dragons, mountains were majestic, rivers were majestic, and strange beasts as huge as mountains lived and thrived in them. There were depictions in many places, some of which were scriptures. Some are secret techniques, and some are simply pictures or Dao marks.

Xia Qi walked among them in a strange way. Thirty thousand miles of distance and a bunch of magical birds and animals passed by his feet without much effort. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the depths of this small world.

And right in front, there is a vast expanse of cliffs. Ruixia is blooming, orchids are growing, dragon grass is taking root in the cracks of the rocks, and the purple air is dense.

There were no formations on the ground or in the sky, but there was supreme Qi. It was as if there was an emperor in front of him who was overwhelming the universe. Xia Qi became even more interested. He wondered whether this was the burial place of a certain emperor. ?But the qi machine was not like Emperor Hengyu, nor like other great emperors he knew, but like the qi machine he had felt when he went to find Xia Tian on the planet Yingzhuanggu.

"The Immortal Emperor?!"

Xia Qi's eyes were like lightning, and the power of his soul instantly covered the entire small world, and nothing could escape his perception.

"what?"

"God read?!"

Suddenly Xia Qi saw something very rare, and his tone couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Divine Mind, a kind of illusory legend, is said to be the immortal divine mind that was born after the death of the ancient gods... However, the truly terrifying thing is that Divine Mind is a demon that slaughters living beings and destroys everything. It's so brutal and extreme that it's almost difficult to fight against.

According to legend, its formation is the embodiment of the evil side of the gods in life, and it is released after death, forming a powerful thought force and becoming a humanoid devil.

Xia Qi had only heard of this strange existence before and had never seen it with his own eyes. However, Xia Qi probably knew the details of this kind of thing, but this did not affect Xia Qi's curiosity about it at all.

And this curiosity even made him ignore the more obvious things, and he took a big step and disappeared from the place. The next moment, he appeared in front of the divine thought that he had already locked.

"Is he really the Immortal Emperor?!"

Xia Qi stared at the divine thought in his hand and said excitedly.

PS: The first half of the chapter is a bit messed up, but I can’t help it. My thoughts suddenly got stuck, so I can only make up the word count. Tomorrow, Friday and the day after tomorrow is the weekend. I will try my best to write more chapters and distribute them as free chapters as compensation.
