" I'm fine," Tang Yu answered somewhat unnaturally.”
"Are you really alright?" Seeing his strange expression, I was still a little worried.
"Yes." " I'm really fine." Tang Yu regained his usual smile." It's just that I couldn't find you guys just now, so I was really anxious."”
"Oh, I see." "Where did you go before?" I asked. The Bifang Bird carried me and flew for a long time, but I couldn't find any trace of you.”
"This…Let's talk about it in the future. Let's pack up and get ready to set off.”
Dong Han and I looked at Tang Yu in surprise and asked at the same time,""Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's better to do it sooner than later. Since the matter in the Demon Gathering Valley is over, we should head to the next stop.”As Tang Yu spoke, he started packing his things.
I asked Dong Han softly in confusion,"Tang Yu has always been calm and collected when he does things. Why is he suddenly so anxious now?”
"You're asking me, but who should I ask?" Dong Han tsked.”
"Didn't you know each other five hundred years ago?”I asked.
"I do know him, but I'm not familiar with him.”Dong Han replied.
…I was completely speechless.
Tang Yu quickly finished packing his luggage. He carried my bag on his back, held his own bag in one hand, and pulled me with the other. Dong Han obediently took the bag from his hand and left the Demon Gathering Valley with us.
"Dong Han, didn't you prepare any luggage? Shouldn't he at least bring some clothes and daily necessities?”I asked curiously.
Dong Han replied with a faint smile," Although I'm a cultivator, I'm not an ascetic cultivator. However, I've also saved up some savings over the years, so I don't need to bring anything when I go out. I just need to bring money. I can buy anything wherever I go."”
…If I had known earlier, I would have brought some money with me. Even if Tang Yu wasn't willing, I would have secretly brought some along!
Sigh! It's really hard to buy!
"What about the phone? It's fine if Tang Yu doesn't need this thing, but don't tell me you don't need it either?”I asked curiously.
"Uh…I do have a cell phone, but I don't usually contact anyone. However, I really didn't bring it with me this time.”It's rare to see Dong Han also have an embarrassed expression. This makes my heart feel more balanced.
But then, he said something that was out of place,"However, cell phones only have signal in the same world in parallel space-time. If you cross worlds, it's useless to bring it with you unless you buy another one when you reach the place. It's fine if you stay in the same place for a long time, but if you travel to every world like us, hehe, it's a waste of money. Besides, Ye Fan, are you sure you have enough money to buy a phone at different places?”
"Dong, Han." I gritted my teeth and looked at him. He smiled smugly.
Then, I looked at Tang Yu resentfully.
Tang Yu stopped and patted my head. He smiled and said,""Everyone in the world is unique. Why do you have to compare yourself to him? Moreover, money was a thing that could easily make cultivators, especially beginner cultivators, lazy. Therefore, it did more harm than good.
Besides, even if you really brought money, in any parallel universe, as long as I'm around, money becomes meaningless. Most importantly, even if you used money to buy a new cell phone, you still couldn't call your home in the other world because the signal frequency in each world was different. But don't worry, I've already used the dream summoning technique to tell your family that you're safe in your dream.”
"Really?" "Did my parents say anything?" I asked happily.”
"They just asked me to take good care of you and send you back safely a week before school starts.”After Tang Yu finished speaking, he pulled me along and continued walking.
The scenery in front of him kept changing. It was day, night, a vast sea of sand, a dense forest, and a blue sea…
I clearly felt that the time taken to cross worlds this time was longer, and there were more places between them. I curiously asked Tang Yu,""Where are you taking us this time?”
"Go to a place called Non-Phase Village.”" I heard by chance that some strange things have happened in that village in recent years," Tang Yu answered as he walked." So I plan to take this opportunity to take a look."”
"What kind of strange thing is it?" Dong Han asked.
" It's said that the villagers of Wuxiang Village live halfway up the mountain," Tang Yu explained." Ten years ago, there was a huge earthquake there, and the epicenter was in Wuxiang Village. Since then, the people at the foot of the mountain had never seen the villagers of the Non-Phase Village come down the mountain. Everyone who entered the Non-Phase Village had never come out, including the fire brigade and medical team who went to rescue them. They had all disappeared there.
At first, the local government sent people over one after another, but after no one returned, they even invited geologists, scientists, and other experts. In the end, they even invited Taoist priests and various mages to check on them. However, everyone who went in disappeared.”
"What is it? Are they all missing?" Dong Han and I exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Yu nodded.
Dong Han seemed to be thinking about something while I asked curiously,"Could it be that there's a new Berserker?”
"Although I'm not sure if it's related to the magnetic field, I don't think it's a problem that has appeared in another Berserk Island. At the very least, something that can alarm God Tang Yu is definitely not a problem that can be explained by science.”Dong Han analyzed.
"That's right, it isn't Bermuda." " It's said that no one has seen the people of the Non-Phase Village or those who entered the Non-Phase Village come out for ten years," explained Tang Yu. But the strange thing was that on the night of the Qixi Festival every year, the people at the foot of the mountain could see the lights and the sound of firecrackers and gongs at the location of the Wuxiang Village on the mountain. At first, the people at the foot of the mountain were very curious and went up the mountain, but they never returned.
After that, no one dared to go up the mountain anymore. It was rumored that it was haunted. Those who went up were eaten by ghosts or taken somewhere by ghosts. Therefore, the Non-Phase Village was also known as the 'Ghost Village'. This time, we are going to find out what is wrong with this so-called ghost village.”
"Ghost Village?" "It's not really haunted, is it?" Besides, ghosts don't eat people, do they? Because the evil spirit I met before seemed to want to eat me.”
Tang Yu looked at me and smiled." Don't be afraid. With Dong Han, Bi Fang Bird, and me here, nothing can eat you." Besides, you are also a cultivator and have learned some spells from me. You have seen evil spirits and demons, so why are you afraid of ghosts?”
I nodded. However, do you think that evil spirits and monsters are more powerful, or ghosts?”
…Tang Yu and Dong Han looked at me with a complicated expression. They wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Am I wrong?" I asked, puzzled.”
Tang Yu shook his head and replied seriously,""Your question is correct. However, regardless of whether it is an evil spirit, demon, or ghost, one has to judge whether they are powerful based on good or evil, cultivation, and many other factors.”
"Oh, I understand."
After a while, we finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.
At this moment, the sky was already dark.
"We have arrived at the Non-Phase Mountain." "It's just that the air of resentment on the mountain is pervading and dense." Tang Yu's expression turned cold as he said in a deep voice. Although Dong Han had five hundred years of cultivation, he was still a mortal after all. "Ye Fan, you're not only a mortal, but you're also young and your cultivation is still shallow. Moreover, you have a natural evil-attracting physique, so it's not easy for you to go up the mountain now. We'll find a family to stay at the foot of the mountain and go up the mountain tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, Tang Yu led us to knock on the door of a nearby house.
The person who opened the door was an old man with sparse white hair, a wrinkled face, and a hunched back.
After sizing us up for a while, he asked warily,"Who are you? Is there something you need from me?"
Tang Yu nodded and said with a smile," Hello, old man. The three of us wanted to come to the Non-Phase Village to look for our relatives. However, it's already late, and the journey up the mountain is a little far and not easy to walk. So, we want to find a place to stay for the night first. We'll go up the mountain tomorrow morning." I wonder if it's convenient for you here?”
"Go up the mountain to look for relatives?" The grandpa was obviously surprised. He shook his head and sighed."Young people, if you want to stay here for the night, as long as you don't mind my family's poor conditions, it's fine. However, I advise you to give up the idea of going up the mountain to look for your relatives tomorrow morning!”
"Why?" Tang Yu asked.
The grandpa sighed again.”
After we entered the house, we found that the conditions of his house were indeed very poor. There were only a few simple old furniture, a square table, and a few wooden stools that had lost color. One of the wooden stools had a broken leg and was tied up with a small wooden stick.
There were only two rooms in his house. In the outer room, there was a stove with all kinds of black kitchenware such as pots and pans. There was a tattered sofa next to him, and on it were clothes that were either unfolded or folded. Next to it was a broken wardrobe that did not even have a door. The wardrobe was full of clothes. There was a double bed at the innermost corner against the wall. As for the inner room, we haven't entered it before, so we don't know what it's like.
After the old man invited us to take a seat, he enthusiastically poured us a cup of water and then busied himself with cooking for us. He said that he would tell us the details of the Non-Phase Village on the mountain when we eat.
I gave Dong Han a look, but Dong Han gave me a look back. There was nothing I could do, so I had to say it.
So, I whispered to Tang Yu," That…I think we shouldn't trouble this old man. He's already so old, and his family's conditions aren't good. It's quite embarrassing to trouble him to cook for us. Moreover, his house only has two rooms. How are the three of us going to live with him?”
Tang Yu shook his head and whispered in my ear with a hint of blame,""We agreed to stay for the night in advance. Now that you see that his family's conditions are not good, you want to leave. Besides, for cultivators, as long as they had tiles on their heads, clothes and blankets on their bodies, they could sleep on the floor. Besides, we are asking for help from others, so how can we be picky?”
