A few days later, Ye Chen and the other two arrived outside a village.
The village was filled with curling smoke from cooking fires, and with flowing water under small bridges. In the distance, there were a few adults busy in the fields, while inside the village, one could occasionally hear the sounds of children playing and laughing.
This is indeed a simple and ordinary village.
It made Ye Chen feel that he was not in a fairyland, but just in an inconspicuous mountain village on Blue Star.
"I wonder if we've taken the wrong road? This desolate place doesn't even look like we're getting close to Sanxian Town. Instead, it seems like it's getting more desolate the further we go."
Sun Xingzhe scratched his head and looked at Yang Xian beside him, dissatisfied, "Didn't you say you knew the way? Why did you bring us to such a remote place?"
"Sun Wukong, shut up! I've been hearing you babble non-stop the whole way here. Be careful or I'll pull out your teeth!"
Yang Xian glared at the other person fiercely and said angrily.
Seeing that the two were still arguing, if they were not stopped, these two guys would quarrel for a whole day. Ye Chen's ears were almost callused from listening to them all the way. He said in a deep voice:
"You two should stop talking nonsense."
Sun Wukong and Yang Xian were immediately silenced, not daring to continue cursing at each other.
Immediately, Ye Chen looked at Yang Xian and said, "Yang Xian, is the route really okay?"
To be honest, he himself felt that the direction was not right. If he were not so skilled and bold, he would probably suspect that Yang Xian was deliberately deceiving him.
"Mr. Ye Chen, according to the map passed down by our Yang family ancestors, this is indeed the direction to Sanxian Town. There is nothing wrong. I just don't know why the reality is like this..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Xingzhe said sarcastically, "That's all outdated. Times have changed. I'm afraid that map is no longer useful. What a waste of time!"
Yang Xian's face turned pale with anger, and he was about to argue with Sun Wukong again.
But seeing Ye Chen's bad face, he couldn't help but stop talking and whispered: "Mr. Ye Chen, I, Yang Xian, did not lie to you. I am willing to guarantee it with my own life!"
Ye Chen waved his hand upon hearing this, "Don't be so serious. Since we are friends, I naturally believe you."
After spending some time together, he naturally knew that Yang Xian was an upright person and not someone who would try to be mysterious.
After a pause, he looked towards the village, and saw an old man with a white beard and tattered clothes sitting under a big locust tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool air. The expression on his face was contented, as if he was in a paradise.
"Let's go ask for directions first."
Ye Chen took the lead and walked towards the old man, followed closely by Sun Xing and Yang Xian.
When asking for directions, you should naturally choose to ask older people. They have lived longer and naturally know more things.
When he got closer, Ye Chen said respectfully, "Old man, do you know how to get to Sanxian Town?"
The old man was waving a fan in his hand. It took him a while to realize that the other party was talking to him. He looked at Ye Chen with a confused look.
"What did you say?"
"Excuse me, old man, do you know how to get to Sanxian Town?"
The old man shook the palm-leaf fan in his hand and asked with a puzzled look, "What fairy town?"
"Sanxian Town, old man." Ye Chen answered patiently.
"Three what towns?" the old man asked again with his ears tilted in confusion.
Ye Chen smiled politely and repeated, "Three Immortals Town."
But the old man asked again: "What are the Three Immortals?"
“…”
Ye Chen was completely speechless.
Sun Xingzhe cursed beside him, "This old immortal is deaf and blind. Let's go ask someone else."
Just as he finished speaking, the old man looked at Sun Wukong with dissatisfaction and said, "You are the one who is deaf and blind! Your whole family is deaf and blind!"
"Hey! This old man can hear!"
Sun Wukong was startled and jumped directly onto a big rock next to him.
Ye Chen smiled again and asked again: "Excuse me, old sir, how do I get to Sanxian Town?"
The old man stared with confused eyes and asked again: "What fairy town?"
"We have to... come back again."
Ye Chen's face was full of black lines.
