Asking for directions in ghostland

As night deepened, the black mist outside the Daoist temple grew thicker, constantly crashing against the light barrier surrounding the temple.

But no matter how the black mist struck, the Daoist temple's light barrier not only didn't weaken but grew brighter!

Zhou Yuan always found it strange, not knowing how the Daoist temple's light barrier was generated.

He checked around the Daoist temple and finally discovered that what caused the light barrier to appear was actually the temple's 'Mirror-Born Affinity' plaque!

Zhou Yuan's divine sense swept over it, feeling it, and initially didn't think much of it, considering it just an ordinary plaque.

But a moment later, he couldn't help but look solemn; he actually felt a strong Dao charm aura from this plaque.

He activated his Dao Restriction Heavenly Eye, carefully observing the plaque, and then couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.

This plaque was indeed very ordinary, but what wasn't ordinary were the three characters on it, which were full of the essence of Talismans.

These Talismans were different from the ones he cultivated; they contained a kind of grand righteousness, not a means of killing.

This grand righteousness transformed into numerous runes imbued with Dao charm, forming the three characters 'Mirror-Born Affinity'.

Not only Zhou Yuan saw it, but Mu Tianji also saw it, his expression solemn.

"According to ancient records, ancient ancestors observed demons, demon gods, and all things in heaven and earth, thereby sensing the power of the Great Dao."

"They first imitated, then improved, gradually creating methods suitable for human cultivation."

"To survive under the rule of thousands of gods, demons, and monsters, they gathered humans together to jointly Cultivate various techniques."

"This technique, with the passage of time, gradually perfected, thus giving rise to the Dao."

"But humans had different understandings of various techniques; based on their own understanding, they created many new techniques."

"The emergence of the Prohibition Sealing Heaven Technique is actually the most ancient Dao inherited by humans after exploring all things in the world!"

"And grand righteousness is another Dao!"

Mu Tianji spoke slowly, and after finishing, without waiting for Zhou Yuan's reply, he directly left.

Zhou Yuan looked at the three characters 'Mirror-Born Affinity', thinking about Mu Tianji's words, and he felt that the natural Restrictions within his body became extremely active.

He closed his eyes, thinking about those natural Restriction runes, and he felt that these Restriction runes were not isolated existences but were all connected to each other!

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, feeling that his mastery of Restriction runes had stepped onto a new level.

Zhou Yuan recalled the Three Sealing Technique, Four Restrictions Severing Source, and Time-Space Prohibition he had mastered during this period, which were all Fusions between Restrictions.

He understood that although he had not fully comprehended natural Restrictions, in reality, he was already on the path of Restriction Fusion.

After a long while, Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes, then let out a long breath of turbid air.

The long night always has an end; as the light of dawn appeared on the horizon, the black mist, like ice and snow, melted away.

Everyone saw that these black mists merged into the ground, into the flowers and trees, and into the stones.

It can be said that the black mist merged into all things, as if it originally belonged to them.

The Daoist temple's light barrier gradually dissipated, and the plaque inscribed with 'Mirror-Born Affinity' gradually dimmed, as if all its energy had been consumed overnight.

Everyone walked out of the Daoist temple, then looked solemnly into the distance.

Indeed, just like the experience of yesterday, there was no spiritual energy in the air at this moment.

They did not linger, and quickly proceeded in the direction Xin Yudie had pointed yesterday.

This time, they were very lucky; after flying about a hundred miles, they discovered a small village, with wisps of cooking smoke rising from it.

"Rain Butterfly, have you ever been to this place?"

Zhou Yuan and Rain Butterfly were standing on a long sword at this moment, and Zhou Yuan asked Rain Butterfly with a smile.

Xin Yudie pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

"Let's go down first; I've already seen people moving in the village, let's go ask them."

Mu Tianji said with a smile, and his suggestion was approved by everyone.

Their group, in fact, looked a bit like the old, weak, and sick.

Except for Zhou Yuan, who was younger, and Rain Butterfly, who was still a child, the rest were old men.

Fortunately, Qin Yuanfeng looked much younger than before due to his cultivation Breakthrough, otherwise their combination would definitely be disliked in the Ghost Domain.

The village was quite lively at the moment, as the hunters were preparing to go into the mountains to hunt.

These men were very strong, like oxen, with bulging muscles.

However, many of them had long scars on their bodies; although healed, they left long marks.

These people were clad in animal skins, holding long javelins with gleaming iron-tipped spearheads.

There were many children in the village; the boys were almost naked, with only a piece of animal skin wrapped around their lower bodies.

The girls, on the other hand, were wrapped in a layer of animal skin, but almost all of it was very old.

Seeing their attire, Zhou Yuan felt as if he had entered the primitive age.

The villagers finally noticed someone approaching, and someone shouted loudly.

As this shout went out, the children quickly hid in the thatched huts.

The young adults, on the other hand, held javelins and watched Zhou Yuan and the others with vigilance.

Seeing that they were almost all old people, these people's expressions relaxed considerably!

Just then, a series of gibberish came from an old man's mouth, making Zhou Yuan, Mu Tianji, and the others stare with wide eyes.

They looked at each other, unable to understand what the old man said.

Zhou Yuan was currently observing those men.

He found that these men had no spiritual energy in their bodies, but their bodies were terrifyingly strong, with surging qi and blood within them; each one was like a small fierce beast!

His eyes lit up; this was pure physical strength!

The old man seemed to have also realized that Zhou Yuan and the others couldn't understand him, and he couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks, looking a bit anxious.

"Revered Master, that Old Grandpa asked what you're doing in their village? Are you here to borrow food?"

Just as Zhou Yuan and the others didn't know what to do, Xin Yudie suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up; they had actually forgotten about Xin Yudie.

"Rain Butterfly, tell them that we are going to worship at the divine temple and got lost, and ask them if they know how to get there."

"Tell him that if he can take us there or give us directions, I am willing to provide them with food as a reward!"

Zhou Yuan quickly said to Xin Yudie.

Xin Yudie nodded quickly after hearing him, then said a long string of words that Zhou Yuan and the others couldn't understand!

The old man's face lit up with joy upon hearing Xin Yudie's words, and then he also said a lot.

The old man gesticulated wildly, speaking and gesturing at the same time, and Zhou Yuan and the others vaguely understood that the old man was probably giving them directions.

After Xin Yudie replied a few times, the old man said several more sentences, and only then was the communication completed!
