"Who am I?" Qin Yu was stunned.
When he was in a daze, he had heard the woman's words and knew that she was hesitating. Qin Yu had also thought about this before, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find any clues. This was because he wasn't even sure if this woman was real or not.
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. He saw that the woman had already put on a dark golden mask that completely covered up her yin yang features. She wore coarse white linen clothes, and although they were simple, they were clean and tidy. She stood there quietly, like a pine tree in an empty valley, proud and independent.
"I am the one who should be apologetic. Thank you for saving me."
Qin Yu said softly. He wanted to sit up but he could not muster any strength. Moreover, he could not feel his spine. After struggling for a while, he gave up and said, "I don't know who you are … I don't even know where this place is. I am here but I don't know."
"Oh," the woman replied. There was a hint of disappointment in her voice, and her bright eyes dimmed considerably.
Just as Qin Yu was about to say something, a petite figure appeared at the door. A naive voice rang out, "Haha, Auntie said that Big Sis has a sweetheart and is hiding someone … I knew Auntie didn't … ah … ghost!!"
Seeing the hurried footsteps getting further and further away, Qin Yu was stunned. He quickly looked down and realized that his skin and muscles were all twisted …
These were the injuries caused by Duan Hongtu's sword aura during the battle. As he did not recover in time, these injuries were all twisted.
"Xiao … Xiao Shan, he … he is just a child. He doesn't know anything. Please don't mind him."
After a short moment of shock, the woman waved her hands and quickly explained. There was a hint of shyness in her voice.
"It doesn't matter.
In life, the body is just a bag of flesh. I don't care about this. "Qin Yu said calmly and looked at the woman.
The woman's body trembled slightly. Although she tried to hide it, it did not escape Qin Yu's eyes.
"How should I address you?" Qin Yu asked.
"I … I am Xian Wuyou." The woman bit her red lips and spat out a few words.
"Xian Wuyou?"
Qin Yu was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of the surname "Xian". There were many surnames in the world, but almost none of them had the surname "Xian"!
"Aunty and the others all call me Ah Xiu. But … but there's always a voice in my heart that says I'm called Xian Wuyou!" The woman said with determination in her weak voice.
"My name is Qin Yu.
By the way, Xian Wuyou, where is this place? "Qin Yu didn't think too much about it and asked.
It seemed that this was the first time she heard someone call her Xian Wuyou. The woman was incomparably delighted. She said, "This is the Forgotten Land … That's right, I read about it in the library. This place used to be a mine."
"Forgotten Land?
Qin Yu raised his head in surprise. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Can you help me borrow some books from the library?"
In the following days, Qin Yu lay on his bed. The woman, Xian Wuyou, would collect dew for Qin Yu every day for Qin Yu to drink.
Although the spiritual power of heaven and earth was confined here, the morning dew still contained some spiritual power. Every day, after patiently collecting dew for Qin Yu, Xian Wuyou would bring a book she borrowed from the library to sit beside Qin Yu and read aloud to Qin Yu.
"One Yin and one Yang is the Dao. One life and one death is the reincarnation cycle. There is a vein in heaven and earth known as the foundation of Yin and Yang, the origin of life and death. This vein contains a great secret. When it was born, its soul was extracted by an ancient expert …" Xian Wuyou's voice was like the chirping of an oriole.
Qin Yu lay on his bed, listening to Xian Wuyou's words. He fell into deep thought. To be honest, Qin Yu wanted to know where this place was and how it was related to the Life-and-Death Secret Realm.
However, the contents of the books Xian Wuyou borrowed were beyond Qin Yu's imagination. From these books, Qin Yu learned a lot of secrets.
For example, this vein of heaven and earth was known as the foundation of Yin and Yang, the origin of life and death. If he guessed correctly, this vein of heaven and earth was where the Yin Life and Yang Death Sect was located. Even the mine he was in now was somehow related to this vein of heaven and earth.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
In these three months, with the dew collected by Xian Wuyou, Qin Yu's injuries didn't recover much. However, most of the twisted scars on his body were healed. Gradually, his original handsome and calm appearance was revealed.
In these past three months, Qin Yu gradually learned what sort of place this was from Xian Wuyou's words.
Just as Xian Wuyou said, this Forgotten Land used to be a huge mine. However, for some unknown reason, all the mines were trapped here. The people who lived in this Forgotten Land were the descendants of the miners.
Today, the number of people in the Forgotten Land had reached 10,000. Over the countless years, these descendants had built a large city called the Forgotten City in this mine.
There were no cultivators in this Forgotten Land, but grains that contained spiritual energy could be grown here. These grains could strengthen one's body and prolong one's life.
This made Qin Yu even more curious. How did he come to this place? It was like a separate world.
Could this be the punishment of the Yin Life and Yang Death Sect?
On this day …
Xian Wuyou carried Qin Yu out of the room and placed him on a rattan chair she had woven. The rattan chair was very comfortable. It was woven with tree vines. This was one of Xian Wuyou's crafts. Back then, Xian Wuyou went up the mountain to look for tree vines and found the severely injured Qin Yu.
After putting Qin Yu down, Xian Wuyou took out a book and read aloud to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu lay on the rattan chair and looked at the big city in front of him. Listening to Xian Wuyou's gentle voice, he couldn't help but feel absent-minded. Sometimes, he felt that everything was illusory, but sometimes, it felt very real.
This situation made Qin Yu think of Dao Hong's illusion. However, it was different from Dao Hong's illusion. In the illusion, Qin Yu believed that it was an illusion. Therefore, most of the time, he looked at things as a bystander and couldn't really become part of it.
But now, everything was so real that Qin Yu couldn't find any flaws. Unknowingly, Qin Yu became part of this life.
Ever since his rebirth, he had never lived such simple, ordinary, and peaceful days. His heart that constantly chased after strength also gradually calmed down. Now, he had more time to think, to think about the past, and to think about the future.
After Xian Wuyou finished reading the book, she put it down. She looked at Qin Yu, who was gazing into the distance in a daze. Under the mask, her eyes flashed with confusion and curiosity, but it quickly disappeared. She gently picked up the book, stood up, and silently left.
Every day, her life was packed to the brim. At dawn, she would wake up to collect dew for Qin Yu. After reciting a book for Qin Yu, she would leave Forgotten City to search for tree vines and weave some items to sell to support her family.
At the same time …
On the top of a mountain at the edge of the Forgotten Land, a stooped figure looked down at the Forgotten Land. His turbid eyes seemed to be able to take in the entire Forgotten Land.
"Master, since you value this madman so much, why did you throw him into the Outer Mountain Mine?
I heard that the Outer Mountain Mine has been a place to train one's state of mind since ancient times. Those who come out from there either have a great change in their temperament or die in a sitting posture. I don't know if it's true or not. "
A tall and sturdy figure appeared beside the stooped old man. He looked at the Forgotten Land and said in a deep voice.
The stooped old man didn't answer. There were some people's wishes that he couldn't control.
"Master, to be honest, I think that young people should have that kind of vigor. Moreover, I have also understood that it's not his fault. It's Duan Hongtu's fault. Moreover, it's wrong for a future sequence disciple to beat up a new disciple. Although this guy killed Duan Hongtu, he shouldn't be punished like this."
"Why don't … Master, bring this madman out?
Right now, the Life and Death Bloodline is like a pool of stagnant water. It'll be more interesting if there are more madmen like him. If this madman walks through the Inner Mountain Mine and becomes old before his body, wouldn't it be very boring? "The tall and sturdy young man said. His eyes flickered with anticipation and battle intent.
"No one can control him when he enters the Inner Mountain Mine. Inside … even if I enter it, I don't know if I can come out. If you want to come out of the Inner Mountain Mine, it depends on your own luck and comprehension …" The stooped old man sighed and said.
