Chu Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, thinking that most villages in the mountains would have names like "Zhangjia Village", "Majia Village" or "Taiping Village". So why would this place that seemed isolated and peaceful have such a special name as "Emperor's Daughter Village"
Judging from the behavior of the villagers, Chu Tianxiao could conclude that they had no cultivation at all. So, the slightly domineering name of "Emperor's Daughter Village" was worth pondering...
Is there any story behind this
The little boy was smart and seemed to have seen through Chu Tianxiao's doubts. He grinned and pointed to a high mountain in the distance and said, "Big brother, look, that place is called 'Cuiyun Mountain'. There is a 'Emperor's Daughter Temple' on the mountain. I heard that it was built by gods from heaven a long, long time ago! There is also a stone statue of the Emperor's Daughter in the temple!"
"God... stone statue?"
Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had traveled through time for so long, and it was not that he had not heard of the legends about "gods" in the vast land of China, but... no legend had ever mentioned the "Emperor's Daughter"...
"Who exactly is this 'Emperor's daughter' you are talking about?"
Confused, Chu Tianxiao asked directly. The little boy thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the adults that it was thousands of years ago. I don't know much either... I only heard that the Emperor's daughter once lived here with a fairy uncle... But then the fairy uncle disappeared first, and then the Emperor's daughter also disappeared. It is said that they felt that life here was too hard, so they returned to live in heaven... But when the Emperor's daughter lived here, she helped and saved many people, so in order to commemorate her, this place was renamed 'Emperor's Daughter Village'."
After hearing this bizarre legend, Chu Tianxiao felt even more puzzled. He was sure that he had never heard of this legend, but why... a sense of familiarity inexplicably emerged in his mind...
I've heard it before... where
impossible…
"Uh!" Chu Tianxiao hurriedly shook his head. Ever since he traveled through time, he occasionally had a feeling of 'memory confusion', as if many things he had known and experienced before... But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was just delusion and a dream.
He attributed this symptom to the confusion of memory caused by living two lives as a human being, and did not take it too seriously.
Moreover, compared to this, he was more eager to know where exactly this "Emperor's Daughter Village" was located in the Great Zhao? And how to get to the Zhao capital from here
Three thousand defeated soldiers are still waiting for my command, how can I delay here any longer
Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao cursed himself for being stupid and asked quickly, "Little brother, do you know how to get out of here?"
"Go out? Why do you want to go out? Master Lekong said that the outside world is fierce and evil. If you don't harm others, others will harm you! We don't want to harm others, but we don't want to be harmed either, so we can only live in this village..." The little boy looked at Chu Tianxiao in confusion, "Big brother, you came to the Di Nu Village from the outside world with great difficulty, why do you want to go out?"
"… People have too many ties in life, how can they really live in Peach Blossom Spring to escape from the world for the rest of their lives?" Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but feel something when he heard this. After a sigh, he quickly grasped the key point of the little boy's words, "From what you said, little brother, that 'Master Liaokong' should know how to get out of here?"
Although he didn't fully understand it, Chu Tianxiao felt a hint of restriction the moment he stepped into this place... He even had a hunch that if he wanted to leave this place by himself without the help of the locals, he would be stuck in a maze forever and unable to move forward!
So, even though Chu Tianxiao was anxious, he knew that he couldn't act rashly, and he quickly asked.
Hearing this, the little boy thought for a while, nodded and said: "I think so..."
"Who is this 'Master Liaokong'? Where is he now?"
"Master Liaokong is the abbot of the 'Emperor's Daughter Temple' I just mentioned. He is a very kind person. He often brings down some precious herbs and treats people for free. Everyone in the village respects him very much... Well, at this time, Master Liaokong should be practicing in the temple."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao quickly lowered his eyes: "The abbot of the Imperial Daughter Temple? He is a Buddhist? Strange... Hundreds of years ago, the Buddhist sect had already cut off its incense and inheritance in the vast land of China. After the wars against Buddhism in various countries, there were only some Buddhist treasures and artifacts circulating in the world, and there was no trace of Buddhist disciples... But how could he appear here..."
The more I think about it, the more strange it seems. Obviously, this small "Emperor's Daughter Village" is definitely not that simple!
If it were any other day, Chu Tianxiao might have asked about it, but now, he knew it was not the time to dwell on it, so he said, "Well, little brother, can you take me to the Temple of the Imperial Daughter?"
Unexpectedly, the hospitable little boy flatly refused this time: "No."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao was stunned: "Why?"
"Because although Master Lekong is very kind to people, he also has a strange rule - no one is allowed to approach the Temple of the Imperial Daughter."
"… Why is this happening?" Chu Tianxiao felt that things were getting weirder and weirder.
"I don't know either... This is a rule that was established a long time ago. Although everyone is curious, everyone respects Master Kong more, so no one has ever violated it."
"Hmm... then what should I do?" Chu Tianxiao pondered, but the little boy kept inviting him to his home for dinner... But in the current situation, Chu Tianxiao was not in the mood to do so. He thanked him, said goodbye to him, and explored the surroundings with his spiritual sense.
Yes, he decided to take a walk and see.
Chu Tianxiao's figure flashed by, and while using his spiritual sense to explore everywhere, he quickly ran to the edge of the village, and then, he slightly moved his right hand forward...
clang!-
The invisible barrier became visible at this moment, spreading out like water waves. It seemed weak, but Chu Tianxiao knew that it was an extremely strong restriction!
"… No, judging from the result of the test just now, this screen is very likely to rebound! If I use Star Shock to forcefully attack, I'm afraid I will get hurt before the screen breaks!"
Just as he had expected, Chu Tianxiao explored around and finally found that the "edges" everywhere were either blocked by barriers or mazes that made people stay where they were.
However, the strength of these two restrictions was something Chu Tianxiao had never seen before in his life. With his cultivation level of the lower realm of Tongxuan, he was simply unable to break through them. According to his estimation, at least it would take the arrival of a great cultivator to have a glimmer of hope of breaking them!
“… What on earth is this place?”
Chu Tianxiao was extremely puzzled, thinking that this might be the legendary 'easy to get in, hard to get out'
How could such a bad thing happen to me
Shaking his head, he turned around again, running around, trying to find a breakthrough...
However, at this moment...
With a bang!
Chu Tianxiao hit a "wall" again...
"Amitabha!"
