Chen Lin once again experienced the feeling of falling from a high altitude.
His body was severely damaged by the tearing force generated by the rupture of the space channel. He was unable to use any magic power and fell straight to the ground.
Fortunately, his body was strong enough and his life was not in danger.
After a long period of recovery, he finally regained some mobility. The ninja took out a pill and swallowed it with great pain. He lay on the spot and began to heal his wounds, feeling extremely angry at the same time.
The teleportation qualification that I spent so much money to get actually had problems. This Xuanguan Immortal City is too unreliable.
If he had not been promoted to the Vajra Realm, he would have died in the space channel!
Unfortunately, he couldn't go and settle accounts with the other party now. This matter could only be resolved later. The most urgent task was to find out where he was exiled.
If something goes wrong with the space channel, you may not necessarily fall between the starting point and the end point. You may run to any place, or even open a space crack and teleport you to another dimension!
It took a long time before Chen Lin finally refined the elixir, but the damage to his body was only slightly recovered and he was still unable to move.
This injury is too serious and it will take a while to recover.
There was no other way, he could only use a magic weapon to dig a small hole, bury himself in it, cover it with some hay, and then continue to heal his wounds.
It took three days and three nights for the injuries to be mostly healed.
Chen Lin stood up, stretched his body, and then observed the surrounding environment.
Looking around, it was all bare and dark, and he couldn't make out anything. He took out the spirit boat, activated the shield, and controlled it to rise from the ground and climb high into the sky.
After looking around, his eyes lit up and he found that there was a village not too far away, and it looked quite large.
Since there are people living here, it means that this is not a dangerous place. He felt relieved and steered the flying boat towards the village.
There seemed to be no cultivators in this village. In order not to scare them, Chen Lin landed on the ground outside the village, put away his spirit boat and walked into the village.
Sure enough, everyone here is mortal.
Vegetables are planted in every household's yard, children are playing on the paths in front of the doors, and occasionally there are sounds of dogs barking.
It has a rustic feel, simple and unpretentious.
"Little boy, what village is this?"
Chen Lin stopped a teenager who was playing with pebbles and asked him kindly.
Seeing that he was a stranger, the other party seemed a little nervous, and the children playing next to him even stepped back.
“This is the Stone Statue Village.”
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Lin to ask any more questions, he and the other children dispersed.
Chen Lin smiled and thought that the kid was still too shy. It was a pity that he didn't have any snacks like candy on him, otherwise he could have tempted him to ask more questions.
The village was not small and it was not something that could be seen from the end at a glance. He did not go directly into the yard to ask someone, but walked forward slowly, constantly observing the surrounding situation.
He had been through so much, even if it was just a mortal village, that it made him always alert.
But no abnormality occurred
After turning a muddy path, I met an old man smoking a pipe at the door.
"Old man, I'm free, can you tell me what village this is and which city is closest to it?"
The old man took a puff of his cigarette, glanced at Chen Lin, and said in a tongue-twisting dialect: "This is Guqiao Village. If it's a city, it's far away!"
After saying that, the old man knocked his pipe on the sole of his shoe, stood up and went back into the house, looking as if he didn't want to pay any attention to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin was a little stunned.
It’s not because of the old man’s attitude, but because of the other person’s words.
The half-grown kid just now clearly said that this village is called Stone Statue Village, so how come it became Ancient Bridge Village
As for speaking in dialect, that's fine, he will definitely not hear it wrong.
The language of this world basically follows the ancient characters. Mortals need to rely on cultivators to survive, and the language is basically unified. Even the dialects are not much different.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin did not go into the yard to ask, but continued walking forward.
It is not surprising that a village has two names, one is the official one, and the other is chosen by the villagers themselves according to the characteristics of the village. This cannot be a suspicious point.
Soon, he met another young woman with a baby girl.
"Madam, may I ask where this place is? I am lost and want to go to the nearest city. Can you point me in the direction?"
The young woman seemed a little shy and lowered her head and said, "This is Xiaoliu Village. There is no city nearby." After that, she hurried away with the girl.
This time Chen Lin finally felt something was wrong.
I asked three people, a child, an old man, and a woman, but got three different answers.
Moreover, the attitude of the people here is not right. Normally, when a stranger appears in the village, they are either suspicious and questioning or warmly welcoming. However, the few people I met, including the child, all tried to avoid me.
If he said there was no problem, he himself wouldn't believe it.
He glanced at the houses on both sides. Most of them were thatched, but there were also some earthen and wooden houses. Smoke was already rising from some of the houses, and if he listened hard, he could hear the conversations of family members.
Everything is so peaceful, everything is so natural.
"Forget it, it's better to have less trouble than more. No matter if there is anything unusual or not, let's leave first."
Chen Lin whispered something and walked quickly out of the village.
I just want to find out the direction. It is not necessary to find it here. I can just find another place where there are people.
At this time he had already reached the other end of the village. He did not return the same way, nor did he fly directly. Instead, he walked out along the dirt road.
Then he saw a person, a young man with ordinary appearance.
The other person was standing on a small mound at the entrance of the village, looking at something in the distance.
"Huh?"
When he saw Chen Lin, the other party exclaimed in surprise and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"I know you. You were one of the people who were teleported in Xuanguang Fairy City. I didn't expect you to end up here!"
Chen Lin also recognized the other person. He was one of the two people in the teleportation group whose cultivation level was unclear.
"So it's you, fellow Taoist. Are you going to leave here too? Have you found out the direction of the city?"
Since the other party has hidden his cultivation level, we can only address each other as peers. And judging from his appearance, he seems to be determining the location, so he should know more information than him.
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head and said solemnly: "It may be difficult to leave this place. Daoist friend, you just came here, didn't you notice the abnormality here?"
Chen Lin had a bad feeling when he heard this and asked in confusion, "I did just come here, but I didn't find anything strange. It's just that everyone calls the village differently. Is there any problem?"
After he asked, he looked into the distance. It was still a bare expanse, and there was no barrier or anything like that. He couldn't understand why he couldn't leave.
"hehe."
The young man smiled and then sighed.
"It seems normal, but it is very abnormal. I have been trapped here for three days and cannot leave. If you have a way, you must take me with you."
Chen Lin was surprised.
After thinking about it, he did not act rashly to investigate on his own, but clasped his fists and said: "My name is Chen Lin, may I know what your name is?"
The young man looked at Chen Lin, came down from the mound, nodded and said: "My name is Luo Ziwen, you may doubt what I said, but you may not believe me even if I explain it. You will understand it if you fly far away and explore."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin said no more words. He piloted the flying boat into the air and shot off into the distance!
After a long while, a stream of light appeared and his figure fell beside Luo Ziwen again.
"How is it, has Fellow Daoist Chen found out everything?"
Luo Ziwen looked at Chen Lin, who had a look of doubt on his face, and asked in a deep voice.
"This seems to be an independent space, or is there some kind of formation?"
Chen Lin frowned.
He piloted the flying boat around all over the place, but no matter which direction he flew, he would eventually appear above the village.
Luo Ziwen shook his head. "It's hard to be sure. Anyway, it's beyond our comprehension. Moreover, every house in this village is an independent space. The names you asked about are all the names of this independent space, so they are all different."
“Is each room an independent space?”
Chen Lin looked incredulous.
The power of space is very mysterious, and the cultivators in today's world of immortal cultivation can only use it in a simple way. What kind of existence must be able to open up so much space in one place!
Luo Ziwen said solemnly, "It is true, and each room is very strange. I explored two of them in the past three days and almost couldn't get out."
Chen Lin calmed himself down, thought for a moment and said, "May I take the liberty to ask about your cultivation level, and the specific circumstances of the two rooms you visited?"
The other party's words made him doubtful, but if they were true, he would be in big trouble.
In response to Chen Lin's question, Luo Ziwen did not hide anything, but directly said: "I am at the early stage of the Golden Core. As for the two houses, one is called Elm Village and the other is called Tofu Village. I thought the houses with these two names would be less dangerous, but I almost died in them."
At this point, the other party showed a look of relief after surviving a disaster, and continued: "But I have also figured out some tricks. The names of the houses correspond to the scenes inside the houses. For example, the houses in Elm Village are all filled with elm spirits, and Tofu Village has a tofu shop inside, and you need a piece of tofu to get out."
The more Chen Lin listened, the deeper his frown grew. Such rules reminded him of the Nightmare Realm. The village where Niu Niu lived was called Guardian's Hut Village, and each house in it had its own independent rules.
But there is no aura of the Nightmare Realm here, so it should not be the Nightmare Realm.
But even if it is not the Nightmare Realm, if the other party is not lying, the situation is still very bad, because anything involving rules cannot be resolved by force.
Xuanguang Fairy City has really done a lot of harm to people. If I can go back, I must ask for an explanation!
Chen Lin was extremely depressed. It was really unlucky that he encountered such a situation even when using a teleportation array.
