Chapter 123: Strangers in Martial Arts Fiction 3
Ke Xiaoxia shook her head and said, "I don't know."
In their village, many people have different surnames, but the most common surname is Shan.
Ke Xiaoxia didn’t take it seriously before, but now it seems that there may be some hidden meaning.
Facing Ke Xiaoxia's curious gaze, Ke's mother said gently, "Shan is not their original surname. People who changed their original surnames are the most exclusive to the outside world. They are no longer willing to set foot outside."
"They settled deep in the mountains, and that's how the surname Shan came about."
"Shan Lie and Shan Hui, they have been here for 20 years. As soon as they arrived, they changed their last name to Shan and have never left the house since."
Ke Xiaoxia thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.
Except for the younger ones who are obviously descendants, the older ones in the family with the surname Shan have never been out of the house.
The reason why Shan Qing asked Ke Xiaoxia if she was curious about the outside world was because someone in the Ke family had indeed been out.
Sometimes it was Ke’s father, sometimes it was Ke’s mother, and they would also bring some things from outside to Ke Xiaoxia.
When Ke Xiaoxia's brother Ke Xiaochun turned 15, he also went out and has not returned yet.
"But Sister Shanqing's parents didn't object to Sister Shanqing going out before."
"Sister Shan Qing hasn't made any irreparable mistakes, so why are they still like this and even say such harsh words?"
Ke Xiaoxia would not be surprised if the parents did not love their children.
But Shanqing's parents clearly love Shanqing very much.
Shanqing is their only child.
Mother Ke shook her head and did not explain the reason in detail. She just said, "When you go out and see it, you will understand."
For the first time, Ke Xiaoxia was curious about what the outside world was like.
Things like fighting and killing cannot be truly felt if you only listen to others' talk or imagine them yourself.
She had seen the walking dead, particularly ugly zombies that fed on humans.
I have also seen blood splattered and limbs broken in the world of immortal cultivation.
This world, except that one cannot cultivate immortality and the martial arts value is lowered by several levels, must be similar to the world of cultivating immortals, right?

Shan Qing still hasn't reconciled with her parents.
And the seriously injured teenager has almost recovered after nearly a month of treatment.
The boy's name is Yan Zhuo. His range of activities is very limited. He can only move in the open space in front of the cave. If he crosses the line, he will be warned.
Ke Xiaoxia had only met him twice from a distance.
When Yan Zhuo's injuries were almost healed, the village chief took him to the Gu Master to grow Gu.
Shan Qing is here too.
Since she was so insistent on going out, she naturally had to plant the Gu, even though she was still three months away from turning 15.
Shan Qing was somewhat looking forward to it.
However, they didn't know that the Gu they were growing were not the same Gu that people in the village usually grew.
The Gu that the villagers usually plant when they go out is a kind of forbidden Gu. They cannot reveal the location of the village to anyone, and they are not allowed to bring anyone in.
When the poisonous insect is about to reveal the information about the village, it will remind the person. If the person continues to speak without repentance, the insect will take his life.
The same applies when you bring someone along.
The first obstacle upon entering was a long barrier of fog.
The former is naturally generated, and the latter is artificially created.
The fog barrier is poisonous, and it becomes more poisonous as you go deeper into it. Only people with a Gu in their bodies can pass through it safely.
Others entered the fog. It would be fine if they withdrew in time, but if they insisted on moving forward, there would be only one outcome, which was death.
There are also people from the village who stand guard regularly behind the fog barrier to prevent traitors from appearing in the village.
But if someone wants to settle down in the village, the village will not refuse.
But if you want to settle down in the village, you need to go through many tests.
In recent years, almost no one has settled in the village.
The last family to settle in the village were Shanqing's parents.
But now, the Gu that Shan Qing and Yan Zhuo want to plant is a kind of illusion Gu.
After being infected with the Illusion Memory Gu, the original memory will be changed and blurred, and another memory can be implanted to replace it, so that the person will not immediately realize that something is wrong after waking up.
For Yan Zhuo, this memory was extremely brief, and growing the Gu was very easy.
But for Shan Qing, this is where she was born and grew up. It is obviously troublesome to plant a Gu here. The Gu Master can only blur Shan Qing's memory of this place, and finally change the situation of her parents to one of death by accident, and he saved Yan Zhuo himself.
The village chief ordered Shan Qing and Yan Zhuo, who were poisoned and unconscious, to be sent away.
The valley returned to peace.
Ke Xiaoxia began to wait for her fifteenth birthday.
When Ke Xiaoxia turned fifteen, her parents prepared everything she needed for going out.
Long whip and long sword.
Healing medicine, poison.
Finally came silver and dry food.
Mother Ke sighed: "It's so dangerous outside..."
Father Ke put his arm around Mother Ke's waist and said, "The child has grown up, and he needs to go out and see the world."
The day before Ke Xiaoxia left, Shan Qing's parents found Ke Xiaoxia.
They were looking for Ke Xiaoxia separately.
The content of the words was nothing more than: If I meet Shan Qing, I want to know how Shan Qing is doing, and if I can help take care of her for the sake of our past friendship.
Both of them gave a lot of things, some to Ke Xiaoxia and some to Shan Qing.
Ke Xiaoxia took the things and said, "If I meet Sister Shan Qing, I will give the things to her. If I don't meet her, I will bring these things back."
As for taking care of?
Ke Xiaoxia did not respond.
Giving gifts can be done secretly, but taking care of someone is not as simple as giving gifts.
What's more, you may not necessarily meet him/her.
Ke Xiaoxia secretly complained.
The next day, Ke Xiaoxia set out on a journey.
The first time they went out, they had to be accompanied by someone, after all, we had to show them the most convenient route.
The people who accompanied Ke Xiaoxia out were her parents.
Even though they used Qinggong to travel very quickly, it still took them two days to reach the fog barrier.
Along the way, Ke Xiaoxia didn't have to do anything.
The gifts were brought by her father and the meat was roasted by her mother. She only needed to eat and then use Qinggong to continue on her journey.
Father Ke also felt that Mother Ke was not doing a good job: "Xiao Xia should do the barbecue herself. She is traveling outside, and others will not spoil her like this."
Mother Ke rolled her eyes at Father Ke and said, "There are inns to stay at when you go out. Why does Xiaoxia have to sleep outdoors?"
"The inn isn't safe either."
"Nowhere out there is safe, how about you stay with Xiao Xia?"
Ke Xiaoxia quickly shook her head to refuse: "No, no, I can do it myself, I will pay attention to safety."
Father Ke snorted and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly: "You don't want me to come with you, and I don't want to accompany you either."
Mother Ke laughed and said to Ke Xiaoxia, "Ignore him. He feels embarrassed after being rejected. He is just being pretentious."
Mr. Ke’s face suddenly turned dark red.
Ke Xiaoxia laughed secretly on the side.
After Ke Xiaoxia got out of the fog, there was still a section of mountain road to go.
About half a day later, we officially stepped onto the official road.
Ke Xiaoxia's speed suddenly slowed down.
Before Ke Xiaoxia came out, her parents naturally told her what the situation was like outside.
There is no emperor or government in this world, only righteousness and evil.
The leader of the Righteous Martial Arts Alliance is actually equivalent to the emperor.
The leader of the evil cult is equivalent to the emperor.
The forces of good and evil were extremely incompatible and the fight was extremely fierce.
The two sides were clearly divided, and even the people under their rule were not allowed to intermarry.
When Ke Xiaoxia heard this, she thought it was extremely outrageous.
"What if they intermarry?"
"Then kill him."
"Is this also true of the righteous path?"
“It’s the same on both sides.”
