Chapter 437 Unraveling Concerns
In the early morning, the glow of the morning glow shines down like pieces of gold, bathing in people's body, feeling warm.

A group of children, ranging from four to five years old to teenagers, can number dozens of people, facing the morning glow in the open space in front of the village, exercising their bodies with humming sounds.

The young and tender faces are full of seriousness. The older children are very lively, and the younger ones are also making graceful gestures.

A middle-aged man with a muscular body like a tiger and leopard, wearing animal fur clothing, bronze skin, black hair loose, and piercing eyes swept over each child, carefully pointing them out.

In the distance, on a gentle slope near the mountain behind the village, Guo Yu sat cross-legged in front of a thatched hut, staring at the entire village with a complicated expression.

"Stone Village..." He couldn't help sighing softly while reading the name of this small mountain village, and murmured in a low voice: "Oh, the world is mysterious, who would have thought that I would come to this place this time!"

As early as a few months ago when he regained his consciousness, he already had a brief understanding of the situation from the conversations of the villagers. Now that he is officially awake and regains his ability to move, he has completely understood the environment he is in all at once.

This is a vast and desolate world, belonging to the ancient era of immortality, and this small mountain village is called Stone Village, which is the first ancestral land of the Stone Clan where Emperor Huangtian grew up.

It's just that the time is a little earlier, and now the sacrifice spirit in this village is a strange stone, the willow god of the ancestor sacrifice spirit has not yet arrived, and even the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng who raised Shi Hao is still only a five-year-old baby.

Knowing all this, Guo Yu's mood was naturally very complicated, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, and he was even a little bit at a loss deep in his heart.

This is the Immortal Ancient Era, which belongs to the past, but he is now living here seriously. This is a very strange but terrifying thing, because every move he makes in the future may have a butterfly effect, affecting the future. Cause unimaginable impact.

Therefore, he didn't dare to act rashly now, so he just built a thatched hut behind the village to avoid living here and meditate quietly in order to restore his strength as soon as possible.

At noon, when Guo Yu was sitting on the wooden bed meditating, Shi Yunfeng, the grandson of the current head of the Shicun clan, came hopping and trotting over.

"Sir, you haven't eaten for a few days. Grandpa is worried, so let me bring some food over." He handed the food cage in his hand to Guo Yu, which contained a piece of roasted animal meat and Two hot pancakes.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need these foods. Uncle just needs to drink some water now." Guo Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his little head, and said with a smile: "You are at the age of growing your body now, and you need more water." Eat more."

"It's really strange, how can people not eat..." Shi Yunfeng muttered, but didn't say much, and turned back, because his grandfather had warned him not to disobey this uncle's words.

"Oh, what a bunch of simple people, it's a pity that I can't help them!" Looking at the back of the child going away, Guo Yu couldn't help but sighed softly.

The stone village is surrounded by luxuriant vegetation and many ferocious beasts, but guarding the mountains, the food of the villagers is relatively not rich, just some coarse wheat cakes, wild fruits and a small amount of meat in the children's bowls.

In fact, lack of food has always been a serious problem for Shicun. The mountains are very dangerous, and those beasts and birds are too powerful and terrifying. Every time they go hunting, someone may lose their life.

If given a choice, the villagers would not go into the mountains, because going into the mountains would mean bloodshed and sacrifices, and food was very precious to them and could not be wasted.

Guo Yu saw all this and wanted to help them, but he was afraid of causing big changes. If the trajectory of Emperor Huangtian, the destined son, changed, the entire future would also be rewritten. This was something he could not do. Accepted.

So now he can only resist the impulse in his heart and choose to be an outsider. When his strength recovers, he can go back directly.

In this way, a few years have passed.

One night, suddenly there was lightning and thunder, heavy rain, and the storm was so violent that many mountains were knocked down by lightning.

A large willow tree reaching the sky appeared in the clouds, bathed in a sea of ​​thunder, surrounded by lightning as thick as a mountain, and thousands of willow branches turned into blazing chains, piercing the entire sky, as if fighting something.

In the end, the big willow tree broke and became much smaller. It fell down scorched black and took root in the stone village. At the same time, the lightning disappeared and the torrential rain receded.

"Ancestor Sacrifice Spirit, the giant among the immortal kings, you are finally here!" Guo Yu stood upright in front of the window of the thatched house, watching this shocking scene from a distance, and sighed softly.

That night, the stone village was in chaos. All the villagers were trembling with fear. Even the strange stone that was worshiped and offered as an offering in the village seemed to be frightened and flew away from the stone village and disappeared, leaving only the burnt willow tree.

It was also from this day that the villagers of Shicun officially established the willow god, a powerful existence that shocked them, as a new sacrificial spirit, and began to worship day and night devoutly.

Time passed, and several years passed in a blink of an eye. In order to avoid trouble, Guo Yu simply sealed up the hut, chose to retreat and practice, and no longer cared about the outside world. He only needed to recover some strength before leaving here.

"Sir, sir, help me! Please help my grandpa!" However, things are unpredictable and accidents always happen. At noon that day, Shi Yunfeng, who was already 13 years old, suddenly knelt down in front of the thatched house. Pleading loudly.

"Ah!" Guo Yu sighed in a low voice, and slowly opened his eyes, with a look of hesitation on his cheeks.

The Shicun clan's longevity is approaching, and they wanted to take a risk to break through their cultivation, but they failed. Now their lives are in danger. If there is no external force to intervene, they will die today, but he still can't make up his mind, and he doesn't know whether he should intervene in this matter.

"Dao... Fellow Daoist, since you want to help, why should you have too many scruples." At this moment, a very weak female voice suddenly came to his sea of ​​consciousness, it was the ancestor worshiping willow god.

"Hehe..." Guo Yu smiled bitterly, and said through voice transmission: "Fellow Daoists should be able to see my situation to some extent. If I intervene, it may cause unknown things to happen, and the consequences..."

"Fellow Daoist, worry too much, since you are already here, you already have a close connection with this time and space, maybe it is because of your intervention that everything in the future will be carried out according to the trajectory you know! "Liu Shen is getting weaker and weaker, as if he will disappear at any moment.

"This..." But her words were like thunder, causing Guo Yu's body to tremble. The look he had once had with Emperor Huangtian in Mount Tai could not help but appear in his mind. He thought of many things at once, and his whole body was instantly shaken. Feeling brighter.

"Fellow Daoists are right. This matter is indeed my fault. Since the Daoist allowed me to stay in this time and space for a long time, it makes sense. I really shouldn't have so many worries for nothing." After a while, Guo Yu regained his composure slightly With a smile, he nodded slightly.

"What practitioners like us seek is a happy heart, but I am too persistent."

Guo Yu got up and got out of bed, straightened his clothes gently, stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door, intending to act according to his own will.
