I don’t know what I’m thinking.

Lin Wu was even more confused. Seeing that he seemed unwilling to talk, she supported him and walked quickly in the direction he said.

In less than twenty minutes, Lin Wu saw the hillside that Mochuan mentioned.

but……

"Master... is that really your residence?"

Lin Wu was stunned as he looked at the solemn building on the hillside that looked like an ancient temple.

Lin Wu estimated that it was big enough for the dozens of people who had just moved in, and there would still be a lot of vacant space.

Mochuan hummed lightly.

Lin Wu looked at it, then at Mo Chuan, his sight shifting back and forth between the two several times, and realized one thing - maybe Mo Chuan was not kidnapped, and everything that happened just now... seemed to be Mo Chuan's own will? ? After all, with Mo Chuan's ability, how could he fail with just that few people?

But why?

Lin Wu had no choice but to help Mochuan go over first.

The black wooden door was half-open. Lin Wu kicked it open and inside was a courtyard of about 40 to 50 square meters, simple and spacious.

There is a towering old tree in the southwest corner, but it is dead and has only dead branches and trunk.

Lin Wu thought it looked very much like the tree she had seen in the cave not long ago! However, it was too dark in the cave at the time, so she couldn't see it clearly and couldn't be sure.

There is a stone table and stone bench under the tree.

Lin Wu helped him over and sat down.

"Where is the medicine?" Lin Wu asked.

Mo Chuan should have recovered his strength by now. He looked up at her and said, "No need."

Lin Wu frowned: "Why not? You are seriously injured, you must..."

Mo Chuan suddenly tore open his robe, revealing his upper body.

Lin Wu was speechless for a moment.

He actually recovered!

Although there were still a lot of bloodstains, it was not hard to see that the wounds left by the previous cuts had completely disappeared, as if it was just an illusion! "You...you...you are so good at self-healing?" Lin Wu was stunned.

Mo Chuan said slowly: "Are you surprised?"

"nonsense!"

This is stronger than the recovery ability of the Chi family's aliens!

Mo Chuan asked, "Why are you surprised?"

"Huh? Why can't I be surprised?"

The forest is filled with inexplicable fog.

Mo Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Wu. His indifferent gaze made Lin Wu instinctively feel danger, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"Those who can find the Bai people are not all for me, and I know it very well." Mo Chuan said calmly, "You are also an outsider, and you came for me. Even if you are right... you are no different from them."

Lin Wu was stunned: "What do you mean? Why do so many people come to you? Are they here to ask for your protection?"

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know!"

Lin Wu felt that what Mo Chuan said about looking for him might not be a good thing, so he explained: "I'm looking for you because... Whether you believe it or not, you and I have a master-disciple relationship, and you will be my master in the future! Since we have met a long time ago, I certainly can't ignore it!"

Mochuan still had no expression on his face.

Lin Wu said, "If I was coming for you like those people you said, then why did I save you just now? Why didn't I just join them?"

These words made Mo Chuan's eyes move, and he seemed to believe it a little.

Lin Wu was about to continue speaking when he suddenly froze.

She said she could join those villagers, and Mochuan didn't object.

In other words…

"Master, did those people come looking for you before in order to eat your flesh and blood like those villagers?!"

Mo Chuan was not moved at all by this and just hummed indifferently.

"Why would they do this? And why are you willing to let them do it?!" Lin Wu was incredulous.

Mo Chuan looked at her strangely: "Why wouldn't they do that?"

Seeing that Lin Wu really looked confused, some indescribable emotions flashed across his eyes.

"It seems you really don't know."

His tone was not as cold as before, and he said: "Don't you know that in ancient times there was a country of white people, where there were many riding foxes, and eating them can prolong life?"

Lin Wu's heart skipped a beat.

Ever since she knew about the existence of the extraordinary people in the Chi family, she has been collecting books about strange stories and animals.

She had seen what Mochuan said. The country of white people is in the north of Longyu, and the people are all white with long hair. There is a magical beast that can make people immortal. It looks like a fox with horns on its head. Eating it can increase one's lifespan by 2,000 years!

She thought it was just a rumor.

Mochuan stared at her.

Lin Wu immediately clarified: "I didn't mean to scold you. I was just surprised that you are not a human."

Since he can maintain his human form and yet be a beastman, doesn’t that mean he is an alien like her?

"Master, how did you become an alien? Was it also through your ancestors combining with some alien object from outer space that you became one?" Lin Wu was curious.

Mochuan finally showed some expression, which was hard to describe.

"What are you talking about? What aliens? What aliens?"

"That's it..." Lin Wu explained it to him briefly, but he still didn't understand.

Lin Wu was puzzled. How could she not understand? He was the one who told her about the alien object.

"He is not the half-human you said, but a human. It's just that due to special circumstances, he has the ability to ride a fox." A teasing male voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Wu turned around immediately.

At the door opposite, a masked man in black leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking at them with interest.

Lin Wu noticed at a glance that the other person was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves and his long hair was tied up in a crown, which did not seem like the kind of clothing one would wear today.

The man's gaze shifted to Mochuan, adding a bit of amusement.

"Mo, Chuan? This name is quite unique, do you like it?"

Mo Chuan had a blank expression on his face, "You are not allowed to call me that."

The man spread his hands: "That can't be helped, I quite like it."

Mo Chuan's face darkened. He stood up without saying a word, strode around the main hall and went to the back.

Lin Wu still had a lot of questions in his mind, and just when he was about to chase after him to ask clearly, he was stopped by the man in black.

"Little girl, you don't seem to belong to this time and space."

Lin Wu stopped abruptly. "I don't know what you are talking about. Who are you? Are you my master's friend?"

The man was calm and composed. "Master? This mountain master has calculated that he does not have a master-disciple relationship and is destined to be lonely. So where did you come from?"

"You are talking nonsense..." Lin Wu suddenly stopped talking, "What do you call yourself? Are you one of the masters of the Thirteen Ridges?!"

The man's smile suddenly disappeared.

"You actually know about the Thirteen Ridges."

"The juniors understand it quite well."

Lin Wu immediately stepped forward and said politely, "To be honest, I have an important matter and would like to ask the eleventh ridge master of your ridge for help. May I ask which ridge master you are? The eleventh ridge master?"

The man looked a little strange: "Are you sure you know about the Thirteen Ridges?"

"Um."

"Then don't you know that there are only ten ridge masters in the Thirteen Ridges now?"

"?What??"

Lin Wu was stumped by the question.

The man seemed to find it interesting and laughed, saying, "There are only ten people in the Thirteen Ridges so far. The Eleventh Ridge Master has indeed been selected, but unfortunately, he has not yet responded. Little girl, what kind of Eleventh Ridge Master are you looking for?"

"How do you know about the Thirteen Ridges? Don't give away everything you have in exchange for it, only to be cheated out of nothing." He said viciously.

The forest fog lingered where it was.

There is no Eleventh Ridge Master? How is this possible... Wait, could it be that the magic in the ginkgo tree is not just a pure space travel, but also allows her to return to the past? !

"What year is it?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Wu more seriously, with a golden light flashing in his eyes.

Lin Wu pretended to be calm and let him watch.

The man quickly closed his eyes, and when he looked at Lin Wu again, he stood up straight, and said in a subtle tone: "The fourteenth year of Xiantong, the year of Guisi."

Lin Wu: “!!!”

That magic actually brought her back a thousand years ago!

Wait, she was able to go back to the past because of the time and space cracks in the dungeon, which shows that traveling through time is definitely not something that can be done by magic alone.

Everything in front of me was so real... Could it be that the magic in the old tree was an illusion that recreated what happened a thousand years ago? It was very likely.

The old man in the ancient temple on the cliff said that only by making the ginkgo tree flourish again can he meet the Eleventh Ridge Master, but Mochuan also said that the tree has always been undefeated.

Now it seems that it is this illusion that makes the old tree appear dilapidated. She has to find a way to solve it so that the old tree can flourish again.

But what does this have to do with the Eleventh Ridge Master? Why hasn't the Eleventh Ridge Master appeared in the Thirteenth Ridge at this time in the illusion? Lin Wu looked around and subconsciously looked at the similar old tree in the yard, and suddenly thought.

Could it be that this illusion was what the Eleventh Ridge Master had experienced, and it had become a knot in his heart. Only by untying the knot could he break the spell and the old tree flourish again? Then the one she saw should be the Eleventh Ridge Master who had not yet gone to the Thirteenth Ridge, so why was it Mochuan...

Huh? Mo Chuan appeared in the illusion and lived here with the old tree? !

Lin Wu looked at the man in black in surprise.

"You...excuse me for asking, are you...the fourth ridge master of the Thirteen Ridges?"
