As Yang Yu walked forward, more and more people gathered around him. Yang Yu could not stand the strange gazes anymore. Seeing that there was an inn nearby, Yang Yu pushed aside the pedestrians and walked in. The innkeeper and the waiter were also watching Yang Yu from outside.
When the two saw Yang Yu enter the shop, they hurriedly brought the waiter and followed behind Yang Yu. At this moment, the waiter remembered his duty and asked Yang Yu.
"Sir, are you eating or staying?”
Yang Yu glanced at the shop owner and naturally chose to have a big meal first to relieve his hunger. At the same time, he wanted to ask the shop owner about the situation here. He took out a silver ingot from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the table. He then instructed the innkeeper.
"First, a table of good wine and dishes, and then a pot of wine.”
The waiter left, not forgetting to look at Yang Yu before he left. At this moment, five elders who were about 60 years old arrived in front of Yang Yu with the help of the crowd and sat directly opposite him. The man stared at Yang Yu carefully and then asked Yang Yu.
"This old man is the chief of the Shangguan Village and also the chief of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yu. May I ask if you are from the outside world?”
Yang Yu nodded and introduced himself.
"I'm from the Huashan Daoist Sect. I'm a Qi cultivator, Qingwei. Greetings, Clan Leader Shangguan. Chief, may I ask why the people of your village are so curious about me? Has no one else come here besides me in the past thousand years?”
The village chief nodded in Yang Yu's surprise and then replied to Yang Yu with something that shocked him.
"A thousand years? A thousand years had passed in the outside world? How could it be so fast? We've only been here for a few years. Taoist priest, may I ask what year it is in the outside world? Is Wu Zhou still around?”
Yang Yu was shocked. The Wuzhou Dynasty was during the Tang Empire. The time within the Meteorite Copper was actually slowed down by nearly a thousand times. No wonder the Queen Mother of the West could easily live for thousands of years in the Meteorite Copper.
"The Great Ming Dynasty is now in power in the outside world. The Wu Zhou Dynasty ended a thousand years ago. In the first year of Empress Wu's reign, she returned to the Tang Dynasty and restored the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, the foreign Mongolians took over the Central Plains. The Ming Dynasty rose up, expelled the Mongols, and restored the Central Plains. It had been nearly a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty.”
When the village chief and the four elders heard this, they could not help but look at each other. They did not expect that in just ten years, a thousand years had already passed outside. The onlookers outside the shop were also in an uproar.
At this moment, the village chief suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Yang Yu.
"Since you are from the outside world, have you heard of Shangguan Qingyu, Shangguan Qinghe, Shangguan Qingxu, Shangguan Qingjia, Shangguan Qingzhe, Shangguan Qingrong, Shangguan Qingsi, and Shangguan Qingling?”
Yang Yu was shocked when he heard eight names, especially Shangguan Qingling. Shangguan Qingling was indeed closely related to the Shangguan family in the Meteorite Bronze. However, this also gave Yang Yu a glimmer of hope. After all, Shangguan Qingling had officially walked out, so he replied to the village chief.
"I know Shangguan Qingling. She lives not far from here. However, the village chief asked her what she meant. Could it be that she walked out from your place?”
At this moment, an old man beside the village chief suddenly slammed the table and cursed angrily. Yang Yu realized that he was scolding Shangguan Qingling. Everyone was cursing angrily.
"B * tch, I knew that b * tch wouldn't come back to save us once she went out. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let her out. If it weren't for him back then, our Shangguan family wouldn't have been able to hide in this strange space that we can enter but can't leave.”
Yang Yu heard that person's angry scolding and understood. Shangguan Qingling and the Shangguan family must have had some history. Obviously, Shangguan Qingling was not well treated in the Shangguan family. Yang Yu was about to ask, but he heard the village chief reprimand the old man.
"Alright, Fourth Elder, since things have come to this, you shouldn't be so stubborn. Incompetent anger will only make the Taoist priest laugh at us and look down on us.”
After the Shangguan Clan Leader reprimanded the Fourth Elder, he turned to Yang Yu and asked.
"I've made a fool of myself. Priest Qingwei, I remember you saying that a thousand years have passed in the outside world. " But you say you know Shangguan Qingling. Isn't that a bit unreasonable? Shangguan Qingling is the person we sent to find the way after we found something wrong in this space.”
"According to Daoist Priest, it should have been at least a thousand years since she went to the outside world. How could a weak woman like her survive until now? Daoist Priest, please tell us the details.”
Yang Yu thought for a moment and explained to the Shangguan Clan Leader. Of course, Yang Yu wasn't stupid enough to tell him everything. After all, Shangguan Qingling was a member of the Shangguan family, and he had killed her as a newbie. Hence, he chose some facts and answered.
"Even though Green Spirit has practiced the Spirit Training Scroll, he has reached the Foundation Building Realm. He also built a peach blossom formation outside for spirit gathering cultivation. I don't know how she managed to survive until now. I only know that she's still young, as if she's immortal.”
"To be honest with the old chief, I was captured by her. According to her, she had lived alone in this Peach Blossom Formation since Tang Shi. He had lived alone here for thousands of years, and there was no one to talk to. Occasionally, she would encounter one or two people who entered this place, and they would leave them behind to accompany her.”
"I was invited by the current emperor to go to the capital to preach and pray for the Empress. I happened to pass by this place, so I naturally can't stay here for long. Seeing that I didn't obey, Green Spirit locked me in the underground palace.”
When the Shangguan Clan Leader and the four village elders heard this, they could not help but tremble in anger. One of the elders sighed with a complicated expression before speaking.
"That thing is indeed in her hands. No wonder she insisted on leaving back then. Her heart wasn't here, and she had the help of the white fox and spirit herbs. No wonder she's the only one who can walk out."
Hearing this, Yang Yu could not help but become curious. He asked the Shangguan Clan Leader and the four elders.
"Shangguan Clan Leader and the four elders, what exactly happened back then? Why was the Shangguan family exterminated? How did you guys get in? After so many years, have you never thought of going out?”
Before the Shangguan Clan Leader could say anything, the elder who had sighed beside him replied to Yang Yu first.
"Don't mention what happened back then in the past. It's not like we haven't wanted to go out all these years. It's just that we haven't found the right path. We sent out eight scouts, but none of them returned.”
"It wasn't until later when we were sorting out the notes left behind by the previous clan leader Shangguan Yi that we discovered it. If he wanted to leave this mystic realm, he had to be led by the white fox. The white fox's eyes could see through the fog. However, Shangguan Qingling had already taken the white fox away.”
"Did you see the white fox when you met Shangguan Qingling?”
Only then did Yang Yu understand why these people had stayed in this mystic realm and only sent a group of people to find a way out. However, at this moment, Yang Yu remembered that the white fox had already been killed by his knife, and that pair of fox eyes was in his backpack.
