Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

Lindau

After parting ways with the hunter, the two rested briefly, changed their clothes, and set off again.

Two horses side by side

Qin Huaiyu pondered the information the hunter had shared.

According to him, the blood corpse appeared out of thin air, but that crack was too strange.

Could it be those spatial rifts that appeared out of nowhere, which were frequently mentioned in the spiritual nourishment of my past life?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he asked:

"Yanxi, do you think there are any problems with what the hunter said?"

Chu Yanxi nodded. "It should be true. That blood corpse must have accidentally come into contact with a spatial rift and leaked out from the Ancient Burial Ground."

"The Ancient Burial Ground?" Qin Huaiyu was very curious about the new term.

"You didn't know?" Chu Yanxi was slightly surprised.

Qin Huaiyu nodded. "I'm a complete newbie in the beginner village, I'm very ignorant, okay?"

ignorance?

You're kidding me. If you're so ignorant, then all of Jian'an's studies must have been done by fools.

but……

"Where is the beginner village? Where are you from?" Chu Yanxi asked very seriously.

Forehead………

Qin Huaiyu realized his slip of the tongue and quickly laughed it off, saying:

"It's not important, it's not important. Let's learn about the Ancient Burial Ground first."

Hmph, you tried to fool me, but you've been exposed. When we get back, I'll send someone to find the newbie village!

Chu Yanxi rolled her eyes, then said:

"You should know about the disappearance of the ancient cultivators, right?"

Qin Huaiyu nodded. "I know, but I don't know why."

"Actually, a great battle took place. According to ancient records, the battle was widespread and destructive, almost wiping out all cultivators."

No wonder they disappeared in ancient times; this is the reason.

Qin Huaiyu frowned slightly. "Then what caused the great battle?"

"I don't know."

Chu Yanxi shook her head. "The time is too long ago, and the remaining classical artifacts are too few. Even if there are descriptions, they are only a few scattered points, with no mention of them."

They're making it all very mysterious. A great battle has taken place, meaning they're mortal enemies. Why aren't those ancient cultivators telling us the reason? Could it be that they've done something wrong and are afraid of being infamous for eternity?

Qin Huaiyu curled his lip, strongly disagreeing with this approach.

"What does this have to do with the Ancient Burial Ground?"

"Of course there are. Since there was a great war, there should be an ancient battlefield. Why is there no such place in the present world?" Chu Yanxi said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaiyu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Your consciousness's burial ground is that ancient battlefield!"

Chu Yanxi nodded. "That's right, that battle must have been extremely tragic."

According to records, an ancient powerful being tore through space and moved the battlefield to another region, which was the Ancient Burial Grounds of Spirits.

Wow, that's amazing! Tearing through space, that takes incredible skill!

And since it's an ancient battlefield, wouldn't there be treasures inside?

Qin Huaiyu's heart burned with excitement. "If this really is the Ancient Burial Ground of Souls, and the blood corpses can come out, can we go in too?"

This guy!

If I could get in, would I still go with you?

Chu Yanxi rolled her eyes at him and said:

"Entering the Ancient Burial Grounds is not so easy. Blood corpses have happened in other places as well. Some people have tried to find them, but the spatial rifts were formed unintentionally and closed in an instant."

"Is there no other way?" Qin Huaiyu asked.

"I don't know, but there should be a way," Chu Yanxi said, her eyes filled with doubt.

...Nizi, you're messing with me. Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything at all?

Qin Huaiyu was speechless with anger, but at the same time, he had even deeper doubts.

If the blood corpse is like this, what about the one-eared one?

The man in black who controls it must also know about the ancient land.

Is their purpose related to this?

...It seems that to figure this out, we have to start from the source.

Seeing Qin Huaiyu's satisfied expression, Chu Yanxi couldn't help but tease him:

"Disappointed, aren't you? As the sage said, 'Be without greed and delusion!'"

Nizi, are you nitpicking online?

Qin Huaiyu smirked. "The Buddha said, 'Only when the six senses are purified can one take refuge.' Yanxi, do you want to become a nun?"

I, a dignified princess, have become a nun before even getting married...

Chu Yanxi retorted angrily:

"You've only just become a monk; I haven't had enough of the secular world yet."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head. "No, seeing beauty without interest, seeing treasure without desire, is the emptiness of both. You have already reached the halfway point, so you can be considered to have half a robe."

"Alas, to have such awareness at such a young age, I would rather not choose extinction."

…Chu Yanxi narrowed her beautiful eyes. “Who is Extinction?”

"Master!" Qin Huaiyu said in a serious tone.

Chu Yanxi's cheeks flushed with anger. "If I am a nun, then you are a monk."

Wow, you're getting it.

Qin Huaiyu pretended to be puzzled:

"That works too. A monk and a nun, a perfect match!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Yanxi's chest.

It's strange, this girl changed her clothes and it seems like it's gotten bigger, like her breasts have swelled up, I bet I can't hold it in one hand.

How could he look at me like that...?

Chu Yanxi felt both ashamed and annoyed, but also somewhat pleased.

"You're the perfect match for me, I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, she spurred her horse and galloped away.

Well, you've turned the tables!

Qin Huaiyu was quite arrogant, and with a flick of the reins, he said, "Let's go, follow them."

Da Ma turned his head and glanced at him, rolling his eyes in a very vivid way.

"Hey, even you're going against me."

…………

Into the night

The sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the half-moon, and a dark curtain enveloped the entire mountain forest.

The mountain wind howled, and faint sparks of light peeked through the swaying trees.

"Father, did you hear anything?"

An old man and a young boy sat by the crackling campfire.
