Big dreamer

"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 ended up here." Seeing the sincerity of the other party's words, Shen Luo's expression softened, and after thinking for a moment said.

"Fellow Taoist broke in through the fog by mistake. 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 Yingluo, 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 Changshou Village in Beiqiao County of Baoxiang Kingdom." Yingluo replied.

"Baoxiang Kingdom, isn't that the border of Xiniu Hezhou..." Shen Luo was shocked when he heard this.

He had read a previous travelogue in the audience, and he had seen the records of Baoxiang Kingdom in it. He knew that it was very far away from the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhanbuzhou, so he muttered to himself that this time he fell into a dream. Did it directly cross a continent?

"Fellow Taoist is not from this country?" Ying Luo said in surprise.

"I did travel from somewhere else. To be precise, I come from a place called the Tang Dynasty." Shen Luo came back to his senses, smiled at Ying Luo and said.

"Datang... No wonder I see that my Taoist friend is dressed a little strangely and I don't know what to call him? Thank you very much for your help this time, saving Changshou Village from the fire and water. Please pay your respects to Yingruo." Yingruo said, a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled at Shenluo One 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 returned the salute and said.

"Brother Shen." Yingluo responded cheerfully.

"Miss Yingluo, 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, so how do you get out of it safely?" Upon hearing this, Ying Luo had a strange look 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 the demons destroyed the world hundreds of years ago, the surrounding area of ​​Changshou Village began to be filled with fog, and our place was also isolated." Ying Luo saw that he looked unhappy. As if he was faking it, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly.

"What will happen if someone walks in?" Shen Luo asked with a raised eyebrow, but in his mind, he remembered what Yu Yan and his son had mentioned before about "monsters swallowing the sky and fire coming from the sky", which seemed to have happened hundreds of years ago. Before, I didn’t know if the two were the same thing.

"It is said that once a person steps into it, he will lose his way. If he walks a little further, he will be directly trapped and killed. At the beginning of the year, there were still villagers who kept trying to enter it to explore the way, but later too many died. No one dares to get involved anymore," Yingluo said bitterly.

"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, that point outside the village It's not like the cultivated land can support many people.

"When the fog first started 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 outer disciples from Fangcun Mountain stationed in the village. . Under their leadership, although life was difficult, we could barely survive, but later, a lot of things happened, and the situation became worse every year." Yingluo 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 our Changshou Village is backed by is Fangcun Mountain. When I was a child, I heard my father mention that there used to be gods living on this mountain, and there was also a real sect that cultivated immortals. At that time, the village was protected by it, and the weather in the village was always good. There are also many young men who can be selected to study under the immortals of Fangcun Mountain," Yingluo 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, but that I can't. Back then, the 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. As a result, three people died, and only one of my ancestors escaped. He came back. He was already a monk in the early stage of soul condensation, 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." Yingluo sighed and said.

"Maybe something happened on Fangcun Mountain." Shen Luo said thoughtfully.

"It's unknown what happened on the mountain. In short, after the demon was destroyed, the gods there seemed to have disappeared and never showed up again. But everyone in the village still dreamed that one day the gods on the mountain would come back. Ying Luo said with a bitter smile.

"No wonder you said in front of the villagers that I am a monk from Fangcun Mountain." Shen Luo said suddenly.

"This is really a helpless move. Monsters are attacking again and again, and the villagers have long been exhausted and almost desperate. I can only arouse their last glimmer of hope by saying that you are a god who came down from Fangcun Mountain, otherwise Even if the monsters stop attacking, they won't be able to survive," Ying Luo said with a dark expression.

Shen Luo recalled the appearance of the villagers before, and thought of their numb and desperate expressions, and suddenly felt that it was really difficult for the girl in front of him.

"That's a white lie, but it's not a long-term solution after all." 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." Yingluo said.

"That's okay. But I'm a little surprised. It seems like there are no other immortal cultivators in this village except you?" Shen Luo shook his head and said.

"Originally, there was actually another one, but after her 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 thought for a moment and asked suddenly.

"How did you find out?" Ying Luo was a little surprised.

"Among all the villagers, whether they believe that I am a monk from Fangcun Mountain or not, the way they look at me is different from hers." 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 just has a weird temper. Apart from me and the children, she hardly talks to other people in the village," Yingluo said hurriedly.

"Those children..." Shen Luo said this, hesitating slightly.
