Chapter 288 Taoyuan Village

When the darkness in front of her eyes faded away, Yang Rongrong found herself in a dim cave.

She felt carefully and did not sense any spiritual energy here.

This means that there can be no cultivators here, nor can any natural treasures be produced.

Yang Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure? Is this place really a secret place?"

Shuying also found it strange.

"Let's go out and take a look first."

He was the first to step out of the cave.

Then he stopped and didn't move for a long time.

Yang Rongrong was very curious when she saw this, so she immediately quickened her pace and walked out.

Outside the cave is a mountain path with clusters of wild flowers on the side of the path and butterflies flying among the flowers.

There are large fields on both sides of the path. Under the scorching sun, some farmers in coarse cloth and shorts are working hard in the fields.

At the end of the path are houses.

It was noon now, the peasant women were cooking, and smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household.

Occasionally a sparrow flies over the path, chirping loudly.

This scene, no matter how you look at it, is an ordinary farm scene.

But this is a secret place where ancient auspicious beasts are hidden! Legend has it that there are many magic weapons here, which attract many ghost cultivators, and in the end, those ghost cultivators will never return.

According to the rumors, this secret place should be mysterious and dangerous.

But what they see now is completely different from the secret realm they had imagined!

Yang Rongrong couldn't help but ask again: "Are we really not wrong?"

At this time, even Shuying began to doubt. Could it be that he had gone to the wrong place?

Yang Rongrong took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "Never mind, now that we are here, let's take a look around first."

After saying that, she took out a shrinking talisman, slapped it on her body, and then walked forward.

She planned to take a walk around the village ahead.

The Shrinking Talisman allows her to travel ten feet in one step, which can help her greatly shorten the travel time.

But when she took a step forward, she did not appear ten feet away.

She was stunned involuntarily, and immediately looked down at the Shrinking Earth Talisman stuck on her body, and saw that the Talisman was still firmly attached to her clothes and had not fallen off.

Since the talisman paper is still there, why is it ineffective?
Yang Rongrong's heart moved. Could it be that talismans cannot be used here?

In order to verify this guess, she took out several talismans and tried them one by one.

It turned out that she was right, all the talismans became ineffective.

Not only that, other magic weapons cannot be used either.

She couldn't help but look at Shuying.

Shuying understood what she meant. She wanted him to try it too.

He raised his right hand, and a soul-calling flag appeared in his palm. He made a hand gesture and tried to summon the ghost.

But after waiting for a long time, no ghost appeared.

Shuying couldn't help but frown.

It stands to reason that as long as someone has died in this place, there will definitely be ghosts, and as long as there are ghosts, they will definitely appear.

But now there was no movement.

This only means that no one has ever died here.

But this is too strange. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal cycle of life. Even cultivators will one day run out of lifespan. Not to mention that there is no spiritual energy here, making it impossible to practice cultivation. The lifespan of mortals is only a few decades. It is impossible that no one has died here.

Shuying then tried to summon the ghost he had refined, but still failed.

He couldn't even summon the ghosts he had refined.

This made Shuying frown even more tightly: "This place is too weird."

Yang Rongrong glanced at the peaceful village in the distance and said slowly, "There must be something strange. This means we are in the right place. Let's go. I hope we can find the ancient auspicious beast quickly and see if it is the one I am looking for."

After saying this, she put away all the talismans and walked forward with big strides.

The two walked along the path in the field. In the creek by the roadside, a mother goose was swimming with a group of goslings, and the sound of water was splashing.

Green mountains and green waters, colorful butterflies flying around, and the warm breeze blowing on your face really make people feel relaxed and comfortable.

Yang Rongrong couldn't help but sigh: "If I were a mortal, I would definitely want to live in a place like this."

Shuying glanced at her. She had always lived with him in the Shadow Palace. He liked that kind of quiet and secluded environment, so he thought Yang Rongrong was the same as him. However, he didn't expect that what she really liked was this ordinary and simple rural life.

The two men met a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old.

The little girl had two red silk flowers pinned in her hair, and wore a coarse cloth skirt with a blue background and small flowers. She had a heavy bamboo basket covered with cloth slung over her wrist.

As she walked, the basket made a slight sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.

When she saw Yang Rongrong and Shuying, she stopped immediately.

She first looked at Yang Rongrong carefully for a long time, her eyes full of curiosity, and then when she saw Shuying, her expression suddenly became cautious, with fear and vigilance revealed in her eyes.

Finally, she turned her gaze back to Yang Rongrong and asked carefully, "You two look unfamiliar. Are you from Taoyuan Village?"

Yang Rongrong remembered the name Taoyuan Village in her heart. It turned out that this place was called Taoyuan Village.

It is truly a paradise on earth.

She smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "We were traveling in the mountains and got lost. We came here by mistake. Is there a place in the village where we can rest?"

The little girl had never seen anyone from outside the village. She was full of curiosity about the outside world and was particularly enthusiastic.

"I've just prepared dinner at home. If you two don't mind, you can come to my house to rest for a while and have lunch. My mother's braised pork is delicious!"

Yang Rongrong was full of gratitude: "Sorry for bothering you then."

"Then wait here for a moment. I'll go bring food to my father and be back soon."

Yang Rongrong nodded and agreed: "Okay."

The little girl ran away quickly with the basket.

Yang Rongrong watched her run briskly into the field and hand the bamboo basket to a farmer holding a hoe.

The father and daughter talked for a few words, and then the little girl raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Yang Rongrong and Shuying. The farmer looked at Yang Rongrong, and then said a few words to the little girl.

The little girl ran back to Yang Rongrong and Shuying empty-handed and said with a smile.

"My father said that it's rare for us to have guests at home, so we should entertain you well. Please come with me."

Yang Rongrong and Shuying followed her into the village.

The two sides exchanged their names on the way.

It turns out that the little girl's name is Hongguo.

As her name suggests, her face is white with a rosy glow, and she really looks like a sweet and delicious red fruit.

Hong Guo looked at Yang Rongrong with sparkling eyes and said with deep emotion, "Sister Yang, you look completely different from the girls in our village. Are all the girls outside as pretty as you?"

No one doesn't like to hear good words, and Yang Rongrong is no exception.

She smiled with her eyes curved, and asked, "Haven't you looked outside the village?"

Hong Guo shook her head: "No, people in our village are not allowed to go out. I have never left Taoyuan Village since I was born."

Yang Rongrong looked curious: "Why?"

Hongguo still shook his head, but this time he didn't give an answer.

I don’t know if it means I don’t know or I can’t answer?
