The old blind man's expression was horrified, and his eyes were blind. He looked a bit scary.

But Gongsun Li was not afraid of such things.

Gongsun Li's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

"This time I found the right person. He really knew Chang'an."

Chang'an, this word, in this continent, except for some ancient books, there are really not many records.

Therefore, those who know Chang'an are generally either powerful and in high positions.

Or, like the old blind man, they have their own secrets and are not ordinary people at first glance.

What? You say the blind man is ordinary?

A person who can't see but can know that Gongsun Li is a woman, you say he is ordinary?

"Chang'an, where is it now?"

Gongsun Li stared at the old blind man with her beautiful eyes.

She was now 100% sure that this Qiyao City was also related to Chang'an.

But what puzzled her was that the old blind man seemed to be afraid when he heard Chang'an's reaction.

This puzzled her. Shouldn't Chang'an be a big city?

Even if it has disappeared, looking at the architecture of Qiyao City, it should have been learned from Chang'an. Why is it so afraid?

"Grandpa!"

Just at this moment, Caiyi came running over with two cups of tea.

""Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Sit down and have a glass of water."

Seeing the old blind man trembling, Caiyi quickly helped him sit down.

At this time, the old blind man finally recovered.

"Caiyi, grandpa hasn’t eaten the food you cooked for a long time. How about you cook today and let your sister taste your cooking?"

"Is it really okay, Grandpa?

Caiyi was still a child after all, and was easily fooled by the old blind man to cook.

In the yard, Gongsun Li and him were left alone again.

"Girl you......Are you really here to find Chang'an?"

"Yes."

Gongsun Li nodded, not knowing whether to approve or not.

"But, how dare you go to Chang'an when you don't know anything about the situation?"

"Why not?"

Gongsun Li's tone did not change at all, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, and he was very domineering.

The old blind man was speechless for a moment.

"Girl, I know you are not an ordinary person. You came here to look for Chang'an City. I, an old blind man, don't know why."

"However, I, an old blind man, advise the girl to give up this thought. Chang'an City is no longer accessible."

"Why can't I enter?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Li asked again.

"Alas!"

The old blind man sighed heavily, raised the teacup in his hand and took a sip, then slowly said:

"To be honest, my eyes were blinded when I was young in the city of Chang'an."

Old Li exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly raised his head.

Although his eyes were dull, Gongsun Li felt that he saw a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Chang'an, a city buried underground for countless years.

The old blind man picked up the cane next to him and pounded the ground twice.

Gongsun Li's eyes lit up.

"underground!"

"This seems to make sense! Chang'an City and Qiyao City overlap on the map. Generally speaking, people would think that Qiyao City is Chang'an, but if Chang'an is underground in Qiyao City, it seems to make sense."

Gongsun Li narrowed his eyes and thought, and the old blind man's voice sounded again.

"Chang'an City, I don't know how many years ago it was built. I think it must have been very prosperous at that time."

"However, I don't know when Chang'an became an underground city and was occupied by something called demons."

"Demon seed!?"

Gongsun Li was surprised when he heard this.

"Ever since I was old enough to understand, I remember that Qiyao City had to pay tribute to Chang'an City within seven days after the Fragrant Festival every year, that is, seven days later!"

The old blind man's voice was a little low, but Gongsun Li could hear a strong reluctance in it.

"This tribute is too tragic. Every time the tribute is paid, the tribute is different, but it is extremely cruel."

Hearing this, Gongsun Li was a little curious, and at the same time, the light in her eyes was a little dangerous.

She knew that this demon species was extremely evil in the background story of the king.

"The tribute was not chickens, ducks, or fish! It was human souls! And it had to be the souls of living people!"

"But the sad thing is that the person chosen as the tribute will not die yet. People have three souls and seven spirits, so they will not take all of them every time they pay tribute."

"Therefore, those who are regarded as tributes will not die, but their future life will definitely not be satisfactory. In serious cases, they will suffer from dementia for the rest of their lives. Most of them will be confused and have no strength at all for their entire lives, and can only recover slowly over time."

"For countless years, Qiyao City has lived like this, so even though it is very prosperous, no one is willing to snatch the city lord here, because if it goes wrong, the fate of the city lord will be......"

"Moreover, over time, the mayor of Qiyao City would also capture some outsiders as tribute, but he did not dare to go too far. Only during the days of the Fragrant Festival, the outsiders who were alone in Qiyao City were their targets."

"But, fifty years ago, Qiyao City produced a genius, a martial arts genius."

Speaking of this, the old blind man's tone was somewhat excited.

"In his early twenties, he had already cultivated to a level never before achieved by humans, so he wanted to change all this. He gathered a large number of human warriors and led them to kill the enemy on the day of paying tribute."

"But what made people despair was that the power of the demons was far beyond human imagination. They were killed before they even entered the gate of Chang'an City."

"In the end, only the human genius escaped, but his eyes were also contaminated by the demon species and became permanently blind......."

At this point, the old blind man's eyes were already filled with tears.

Gongsun Li heard self-blame in his tone.

"Since then, the city lord has been replaced by a demon's lackey. The city guards would wantonly arrest those rebels and outsiders who were hiding among ordinary people every time the Fragrant Festival came."

At this point, the old blind man was silent.

It can be imagined that after his rebellion failed, his life in the city was good enough if others didn't avoid him.

The old blind man also felt that he had let down those who had killed with him.

"So, girl, let's stay here during the Fuyu Festival."

"Although I, an old blind man, have a bad reputation, no one dares to come here."

"When these few days are over, you can go back and give up the idea of looking for Chang'an........"

The old blind man no longer wanted to know how Gongsun Li knew Chang'an.

He just warned Gongsun Li not to go to that place.
