"They are all orphans in the village. After their parents died, they have been adopted and taken care of by Granny Ma." Ying Luo sighed and spoke.
"According to what you said before, there have been many disciples from Fangcun Mountain in this Changshou Village. Even though so many years have passed and their lifespans are limited, there should still be some inheritance, right?" Shen Luo knew that there must be some unspeakable tragedies behind this, so he did not delve into it and asked instead.
"Some of the disciples of Fangcun Mountain died while going out to explore, and some died while climbing the mountain to seek help. There were only a few left. As time passed, they left this world one after another. Although they all passed on their knowledge to other disciples, their disciples and grandchildren had shorter lifespans, and some even died earlier than them. When the village began to suffer attacks from monsters a few years ago, only Granny Ma and I were left." Ying Luo nodded and said slowly.
Shen Luo has a deep understanding of the difficulties of spiritual practice.
Even a small sect like Chunqiuguan with an orderly inheritance could not guarantee that all disciples could understand the Dharma and pass it down from generation to generation, let alone this poor little mountain village. Those who passed down the Dharma from the cultivators would only decline little by little.
When he thought of the immortal cultivators in the village who were trapped here and died one by one, and the situation in the village was getting worse and worse, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"Haven't these monsters existed since ancient times, but only appeared a few years ago?" Shen Luo asked again.
"It was about four years ago. The village was suddenly hit by an epidemic and many children were infected. In order to find herbs, several villagers went up the Fangcun Mountain against the advice of their ancestors. As a result, the ferocious birds and beasts on the mountain seemed to have gained intelligence and ate them all. After that, they became even more ferocious and began to come down the mountain to attack us." Ying Luo nodded and said.
"Any monster still has a trace of its nature before tasting blood, but once it has tasted blood, it will definitely seek the taste and will not stop until the enemy is dead." Shen Luo sighed and said.
"That's right. After that, we had to build a wall to protect the entire village and fight against the monsters that attacked from time to time. But as the talismans and magic tools in the village ran out, Granny Ma suffered a serious blow, and more and more people in the village died in the battle. The monsters and birds that came down the mountain became more and more frequent. If it weren't for you, Brother Shen, we would definitely not be able to hold on this time." Ying Luo said, with a bit more gratitude in his eyes.
"I came here by chance. Maybe it's fate." Shen Luo shook his head and said so.
"Brother Shen, this is roughly the situation in the village. What are your plans for the future?" Ying Luo said hesitantly.
"I am not from here, so I won't stay long. I will leave after I find the way." Shen Luo said.
"Defeating these beasts this time can only solve the urgent problem temporarily. If we can't find a way out, everyone in the village will eventually die. Since you can come in, you should be able to find a way out. Can you ask Brother Shen to help us find a way to escape?" Ying Luo heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo did not answer immediately, but began to ponder secretly.
