Qin Ziling's heart couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and he even felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.
He just asked casually because he suddenly remembered the ancient well in the nightmare, but he never expected that there was such a Taoist temple as Chixiao in reality.
"Ahem, I just overheard someone mention it yesterday, so I'm a little curious" Qin Ziling naturally wouldn't say that he dreamed it in a nightmare, so he casually lied.
Cui Shi didn't think much about it, let out an "oh", and then said: "This Chixiao Temple is located at the foot of Xiaolong Mountain, which is about fourteen or fifteen miles away from our village. When you were a child, you still had some incense, and your father was seriously ill that year, and I overheard the name of Chixiao Temple, and I went there on a special trip. But now the world is very chaotic, horse thieves and rogues are robbing and plundering everywhere, Xiaolong Mountain is far away from the county town and official roads, mountain thieves and horse thieves are the most rampant, the villagers who live in that area are either killed or flee one after another, and most of the villages have been looted and destroyed, and the Chixiao Temple has long been defeated"Speaking of this, Cui Shi seemed to remember something, and sighed faintly, unable to hide his worry.
Qin Ziling's heart couldn't help but feel heavy when he heard this, this world is not peaceful!
"Mother, Du Yue, I'll go to the martial arts hall first" Qin Ziling asked some questions about the location of Xiaolong Mountain, hurriedly finished breakfast, and then picked up the lunch that Yin Du Yue had prepared for him a long time ago, got up and said.
"Pay attention to safety on the road, I heard yesterday that there are also thieves and robbers around the county town now, and a few days ago, Lijia Village was looted" Cui Shi admonished.
"I will" Qin Ziling nodded and left, his heart getting heavier and heavier.Speaking of Lijia Village, it is more than ten miles away from the county city wall, and it is not far from the official road, it stands to reason that it should still be within the deterrent range of the county city defenders, and it was still a surprise to Qin Ziling that it was looted.
"It seems that the world is indeed getting more and more chaotic, and only by moving to the city can I be safer, but I don't have the money or strength now, so it's not easy to move to the city!" Qin Ziling strode along the official road in the opposite direction of the county town, while secretly thinking, with an indescribable sense of urgency and powerlessness in his heart.
Walking along the official road for five or six miles, you can also see popular villages along the way, with fields one after another, and farmers working in the fields from time to time.
But a little further afield, there are patches of overgrown wasteland, dilapidated and uninhabited villages, and the roads are filled with caravans escorted by dart masters, and groups of yellow-skinned refugees, rarely walking alone.
After continuing to walk for another four or five miles, Qin Ziling turned from the official road to the trail leading to Xiaolong Mountain.
These trails have been overgrown with weeds and thorns because they have not been walked for a long time, and these hills and wilderness are full of grassy bandits.
Fortunately, Qin Ziling has practiced martial arts, he is agile, he acts alone, he is mobile, and it is strange to say, since he was reborn, his ears and eyes are clear, and he is almost demonic and deaf, and he also has a very keen sense of the changes in the aura around him.
Therefore, along the way, Qin Ziling was cautious, but let him find a few places where there were bandits ambushed in advance, and avoided the danger of being robbed by the road.
More than two hours later, Qin Ziling came to Xiaolong Mountain without danger.
Before he really arrived at Xiaolong Mountain, Qin Ziling smelled the oncoming mountain breeze with an extremely unpleasant smell, as if rotting meat.
When he really arrived at Xiaolong Mountain and looked at the scene in front of him, Qin Ziling couldn't help but have a heartbeat faster, and he had a creepy feeling.
I saw several peaks of Xiaolong Mountain collapsing, and the rocks rolled down halfway up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, among which there were several pieces of rocks as large as houses split in two from the middle, and the cracks were flat and smooth as if they had been split by an incomparably sharp giant sword.
Not only that, but the smell of rotten flesh and yellow liquid can be seen everywhere on Xiaolong Mountain, which makes people extremely disgusting.
All the decaying material, and where the yellow liquid flowed, all the plants and trees turned yellow and lost their vitality.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Ziling couldn't help but think of the two giant swords he saw in his dream, as well as the scene of the old and ugly old man and the strange bird under him suddenly exploding, and the flesh and blood were flying, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Really! Everything in my dream turned out to be true! This, how could this be? I was obviously reborn in Qin Ziling's body, how could I get involved with that old man?"
Qin Ziling's heart trembled, and his eyes subconsciously raised his eyes.
Soon, Qin Ziling's heart shook again, and his eyes stared at a ruined Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
There is a plaque hanging obliquely on the lintel of the Taoist temple, which reads the three words "Chixiao View".
Qin Ziling swallowed his saliva vigorously, then forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, carefully avoided the disgusting things on the ground that flowed with yellow liquid and exuded the smell of rotten flesh, and soon came to Chixiao Temple.
As his mother said, the Chixiao Temple had long since fallen, and the walls of the Taoist Temple had collapsed in several places, and they were covered with dust and cobwebs.
There was nothing unusual about the Taoist temple, and Qin Ziling quickly crossed the main hall of the Taoist temple to the backyard.
There is an ancient well in the courtyard of Guothen.
Qin Ziling walked quickly to the ancient well and looked down.
There was water in the ancient well, and there were some dead leaves floating on it, so it was impossible to see what was under the well at all, but inexplicably, when Qin Ziling looked down, he seemed to be able to feel that there was something very familiar to him at the bottom of the ancient well.
Qin Ziling couldn't think deeply about why this was the case, and confirmed that the well rope was quite strong, so he immediately followed the well rope and hung down the well.
Since the dream is true, then logically speculate that the old man can control the strange bird to fly in the air, and is chased and killed by two flying swords, whether it is himself or the person who pursues him, he is definitely the top master.
Because at least in the county town, Qin Ziling had never heard anyone say that someone could kill people with a sword, and that was already a first-class figure who was almost a legendary sword immortal.
Therefore, the ring on the old man's finger would never be an ordinary thing.
With Qin Ziling's current family background and his root bone talent, if he wants to have the ability to protect himself in this troubled world, the ring can be said to be his greatest hope.
After going down the well, following the induction in his heart, Qin Ziling soon saw the ring embedded in the crack in the stone of the well wall.
As for the severed finger, I don't know where it fell off into the ancient well.
Qin Ziling stretched out his hand and pulled out the ring from the crack in the stone on the wall of the well.
The moment the ring fell into the palm of his hand, Qin Ziling's heart swelled with a flesh-and-blood, incomparably familiar feeling, and at the same time, his brain seemed to be suddenly touched, and many chaotic picture fragments poured into it at once.
The chaotic scenes are almost all extremely bloody, evil, and terrifying, and the old man he saw in his nightmare is the common protagonist in these pictures.
There are more and more pictures, and the more and more chaotic.
Qin Ziling's head was splitting, he forcibly endured the feeling that his head was about to explode, quickly climbed out of the ancient well, and then fell unconscious by the ancient well.
I don't know how long it took for Qin Ziling to wake up from his coma.
His eyes were still black and clear, but in the depths of this black and clear water, there was a faint flash of wisdom that had gone through vicissitudes and insight into the world, as well as insidious, evil and ruthless.
"It turned out to be in my soul consciousness,When I crossed over to this body, the remnant soul of Li Mo, the sect leader of the Corpse Demon Sect, was trying to take away this body, and at the most critical moment, my arrival finally made me the fisherman among the snipe and clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman. Qin Ziling, who came to his senses, after thinking carefully about reasoning, finally gradually understood that he came from another modern civilized world, and at the same time fused the remnant soul consciousness of Li Mo, the sect leader of the Corpse Demon Sect, one of the six major demon sects.
It's just that why the sect master of the Corpse Demon Sect was killed by someone and Xiaolong Mountain outside the county town, Qin Ziling didn't know.
"Oh my God! I even fused the remnant soul consciousness of a demon head! Doesn't this mean that I have the soul consciousness of two people and one remnant soul consciousness alone? By the way, since I was reborn, not only have my ears and eyes clear, but I am also extremely sensitive to changes in the outside world, and I can even multitask, is it all because this body has fused two soul consciousnesses and one remnant soul consciousness?" After reasoning out the truth, Qin Ziling also figured out many changes in his body.
Thinking in his heart, Qin Ziling's gaze fell back on the black ring that he was holding tightly in the palm of his hand.
