Chapter Eleven On the other side of the mountain
The wooden house is not spacious. A row of wooden shelves have shriveled animal skins or vegetation, and a wooden bed and a wooden table. The rest are just daily household items.
Ji Xu did not recognize everything, and his eyes fell on the figure sitting by the table.
This is an old man with long hair and gray hair, wearing a linen long coat, with deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are full of wise light. At this moment, his hands are put together and his face is smiling.
The strong man around him said something to the old man, then turned around and left. The door was closed, and the room was a little dim for a moment.
The old man stretched out his hand and lit up the lamp on the table. He didn't know what the lamp oil was made of, and it emitted a scent that made people feel calm when it burned.
"Sit down." The old man reached out and raised his hand, signaling to get off the wooden stool opposite the table.
Ji Xu's face was surprised. He obviously didn't expect that he could understand what the old man said, which was clearly Mandarin with a straightforward and straight voice.
Seeing Ji Xu sitting down, the old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face gathered together, "Are you surprised, an outsider?"
"Ah, yes." Ji Xu sat on the wooden bench covered with animal skin and said, "It's really unbelievable."
The old man smiled, picked up a pottery product similar to a kettle from the table, poured a glass of water for Ji Xu, and said, "Two days ago, the world changed, and I could feel the changes in the dragon veins."
"Can you tell me what happened?" The old man looked at Ji Xu, "At that time, the world was unstable, and hundreds of beasts in the forest were rushing. I thought it was a catastrophe."
"Your space was separated from the world where I am, a long time ago, and now it is back, but it is just a door." Ji Xu thought for a while, pointed to the stone house and the wooden door and said, "This room is your world. The outside is my world, but you can't open this door and go out, and we can come in."
The old man was silent, and his hands holding the pottery cup were trembling, "Is there any difference between those wild beasts in captivity?"
Ji Xu lowered his eyelids, feeling that he was too straightforward and too cruel.
But he said: "Besides, your space has been separated for too long. This time the dragon vein has returned to the ancestral vein of the earth. The space barrier is unstable. Maybe your space will collapse at any time."
The old man looked up suddenly.
Ji Xu seemed to see the sky full of stars from the other party's eyes, like a star sprig, which made people sink into it.
"What you said is true."
Everything was just a moment, and the old man's figure became a little hunched. He sat quietly, his voice getting older, "It sounded even more incredible."
Ji Xu drank all the water in the cup, which was very sweet and sweet.
"Actually you should have the answer." Ji Xu put down the cup and looked at the old man in front of him. The pressure emitted from the other person was no weaker than he felt on Mo Hanshan. Even if he could not use his spiritual sense to sense it now, he could judge that the old man's strength was above the furnace.
"I am a witch in the clan." The old man said lightly, stretched out his hand slightly, and an animal skin flew over the wooden stand.
"A long time ago, our ancestors had records that we were separated and were too far away from our hometown."
The old man rubbed the animal skin, tears fell from his eyes, but his words were extremely dull. "It has been passed down from generation to generation, and even the rest of the tribes thought it was just a legend, but when the dragon vein really changed, I realized that it was true."
After saying that, the old man smiled and asked, "Are you outside the same as here?"
Ji Xu looked at the oil lamp on the table, "It's different."
“Is it better?”
Ji Xu looked at the old man's complicated expression and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
It is an exploration of the unknown, a longing for the future, and an obsession with the world.
Because he knew that the destruction of his world was inevitable. When the previous guess was confirmed by Ji Xu, an outsider, the gap and complexity in his heart were really unspeakable emotions.
Even if he is the most powerful witch in a radius of thousands of miles, he cannot resist it in the face of the great power of heaven and earth.
Ji Xu sat in silence.
In the two days before coming in, Cheng Yuan told him a lot about the blessings of the world. There were many primitive humans or animals in it, but without exception, just as the portal would restrict the people entering, and also restrict the lives inside.
The primitive people living in it are called indigenous people. It has to be said that this is a very derogatory title, but in fact, people are the only life that cannot come out of it.
Even those wild beasts can be brought out as long as they meet the tolerance range of the space at the entrance. Only people cannot do it, even an ordinary child.
So Ji Xu could only repay him with silence. He was not the Virgin Mary, but when faced with these people who were separated from "bad luck", they could not help but feel sympathy when they saw that they could only watch the destruction of the world they lived in.
Perhaps, this is the only thing he can do.
They were primitive people, who were once the ancestors of modern people, but the changes in space had unpredictable power. Perhaps time was stagnant at that time, the earth's society outside was changing with each passing day, and here they were still slash-and-burn farms and lived a primitive hunting life.
They formed a primitive tribe with leaders and witches, fighting against nature and survival like countless ancestors.
Ji Xu looked up and said slowly: "Well, if nothing else, I think I should say goodbye."
"I understand." The old man's face was only calm, and he looked at Ji Xu with a calm look. "As the changes in the years, what you need here is not available to the outside world."
"That's right." Ji Xu said.
He did not tell the other party that there were six places similar to their spaces in the world, which were long-standing blessings of caves, because they had the suppression of dragon veins, and he could not do this act of sprinkling salt on the other party's wounds.
Broken hope should no longer be given to others, and the huge gap in the heart is the nightmare.
The other party is a witch who is unknown how old he is, and a strong man who is no less than the furnace realm. If he goes crazy, he or the person who comes into this blessed land will not be able to go out alive.
"If you rely on your strength, you may not be able to get out of this vast mountain." The old man said: "The jungle is dense and there are countless beasts, so your luck is not good."
Ji Xu nodded. Who knew that the place where he came in was random, so he threw it into a forest that was invisible. Thanks to them leading the way, he could come out. But at this moment, he didn't seem to have walked out yet.
"How long do you want to stay here?" the old man suddenly asked, "It shouldn't be long."
"I can only stay for one day, and maybe there will be a next group of people in a while." Ji Xu didn't explain too much, thinking that he could figure it out with the other party's wisdom.
"You came in to find something, and I just happened to have some rare gadgets nearby."
A trace of sadness appeared on the witch's face, and she looked at the lamp on the table, "We can't get out anymore. Can you tell the little guys in the clan about what's happening outside?"
Ji Xu was stunned, his heart a little complicated.
