Chapter 134: Mortal Again Judging from the divine consciousness, she should be a mortal, a white-haired old woman, so thin that her bones were just skin and bones. She couldn't have been here for a long time...but there is no food here, how did she survive? After Ruan Xing confirmed that the other party posed no threat, he pushed open the door and walked in. The old woman seemed startled by the voice and looked at him with trembling cloudy eyes. "Hello, can we still communicate?" The old woman didn't say anything, but crawled over slowly. Ruan Xing didn't dodge. The old woman sniffed Ruan Xing for a while with her nostrils flaring, then opened her toothless mouth and bit Ruan Xing's broken shin bone. Although the wounds on the surface of the skin had healed after Ruan Xing's simple healing exercises, the old woman's teeth, which had little attack power, could not hurt the skin of the Jindan stage cultivator, and he didn't even feel any pain. The old woman began to suck the blood that was almost dried on Ruan Xing's pants. She didn't look crazy, she was just a little confused because she had been hungry for a long time. If she could eat something, maybe she could still communicate. It’s just that she can’t open the storage bag now, otherwise I could give her something to eat. Ruan Xing frowned and thought for a moment, then used the sword to cut a wound on his calf, "Drink." As the warm blood flowed out, the old woman's eyes lit up a little. She couldn't wait to lick the wound with her tongue, eager to drink more that could relieve her thirst and hunger.
The shallow wound healed quickly, and the old woman seemed to have regained some of her sanity. Ruan Xing then asked, "Can you understand what people say?" She nodded slightly, almost inaudibly. "How did you get here? How long have you been here? And how did you survive?" Ruan Xing asked softly. The old woman spoke, her voice was very hoarse, "Nine days... Nine days... No one... Saved me... I came to bring food... No one..." What she said was very confusing and difficult to understand. Ruan Xing listened patiently for a long time before she understood. The old woman was delivering meals to her husband who was working in the fields, but somehow she got lost and ended up in this place. She searched for several days at first, but there was no one here. Gradually she became desperate and hid in this house waiting to die. As for what she ate... Ruan Xing took a look at the small skeleton that had just been pressed under the old woman, and he understood. Although Ruan Xing gave her his own blood to drink, the old woman still couldn't escape the fate of starving to death. She was already so old and still had to suffer at the end of her life. It would be better to help her get rid of it so that she wouldn't have to endure the pain of hunger. With a trace of pity in her eyes, she drew out her dagger and casually asked one last question, "Who is the corpse behind you?" "It's... my son..." what? Ruan Xing widened her eyes. She had planned to kill her after asking the last question, but she didn't expect to get such an answer. This old woman has white hair and beard, loose skin with layers of wrinkles, and not many teeth left. She looks to be at least eighty years old. How could she possibly give birth to a son who is only four or five years old? She quickly asked, "How old are you?" "thirty……" The old woman seemed to fall into a state of confusion again, and lowered her head to bite Ruan Xing's leg. Seeing that there was nothing more to ask, Ruan Xing sighed and killed the old woman with a sword. I felt a little heavy-hearted, as there was one more strange thing about this place. If the speed of time flowed differently, the woman would not have only grown older. She would probably have starved to death on the first day.
But her body and hunger were still normal, it was just that she had aged faster. And her son must have been alive for the first three or four days. According to the aging rate of women, three or four days would have been enough for a child to grow up, but his bones were only a small mass. I don’t know if this weirdness has any effect on Jindan cultivators. If it does, a Jindan cultivator with a lifespan of 500 years may only be able to live for a few months here. Elder Wen only has a few years left to live, and he might die within a day or two of coming here. Then she doesn't have to repay the favor. Ruan Xing shook his head, walked out the door and continued moving in one direction. But... she still didn't understand what kind of danger there was that could cause Fairy Qingping and her husband to be seriously injured. As of now, there are just a few things: no spiritual energy, no food, inability to use magic, and accelerated aging. Four full hours passed, and Ruan Xing measured the size of this area with her feet. Although she did not walk fast, with the help of her spiritual sense, she basically cleared the area within a radius of ten miles, and there was almost no other living person. What Ruan Xing couldn't understand was that the sky was obviously gray and there was no light from the sun or the moon at all, but the sky was still slowly getting darker. It's obviously so unscientific, but we are still following the alternation of day and night? Although Jindan cultivators have basic night vision abilities, Ruan Xing had been walking for a day after all, and her broken bones had not yet healed. She planned to find a place to rest for a night and use her internal energy to heal herself. Most of the surrounding area was in ruins, and the collapsed house fragments made it impossible to find a place to stay. She finally found a house with half a beam and went in to take a look. It seems to be a residential house. The main room on the side has completely collapsed. This side should be a slightly lower wing room that escaped the disaster and still has a few tiles left to cover the head. There is a high bed inside and a large box next to it. She wanted to open the box to see what was inside, but when she gently grabbed it, a corner of the box was torn off and it broke with a slight twist. It's even crispier than crispy shark. Ruan Xing couldn't help but complain in her heart, thinking that the bed would probably collapse as soon as someone sat on it. Ruan Xing didn't have much hope for this. She used her sword to poke at the broken things and swept them aside, leaving a small space. She took off her coat and covered herself with it, preparing to sleep against the wall. It was completely dark. After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Xing heard a rustling sound. He opened his eyes instantly and grasped his dagger. "What's that sound?" Ruan Xing said to himself. Could it be the other monks who entered the space-time rift together? Ruan Xing planned to use his spiritual sense to take a look first. Unexpectedly, when he used his spiritual sense, the rustling sound was like he had found something good. Not only did the frequency become faster, the sound also became louder, as if it was approaching Ruan Xing. But her spiritual sense saw nothing. Is it an illusion? Was there something that deceived her ears? Suddenly a breeze blew and Ruan Xing quickly jumped back to avoid it. After I dodged, I felt a slight pain on my cheek. My goodness, if she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have lost half of her head. It seems that the sound heard in the ear is not an illusion, but that the unknown dangerous enemy has special means to block spiritual consciousness.
