"Master, there is a village ahead!"
After the cloud and mist, a small village appeared in front of the master and servant. The little book boy was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Wang Lu patted him on the shoulder: "What's the matter? Didn't you complain about being thirsty and hungry for a long time, this is a ready-made supply point."
The book boy frowned with fear on his face: "Master, don't you find it strange that there is a village here?"
"After walking for two hours, I was tired and hungry. Of course there should be a village, otherwise we should starve to death?"
"But... it still feels so strange, look! There are still people in the village!?"
The bookboy stretched out his hand and pointed out that an old woman carrying firewood was walking slowly on the small road in the village.
"Young master, the old woman seemed to be looking at us just now!?"
"So what? Seeing her gaze, did the deer jump in your heart?"
"I, I mean, it's a real person!"
"Nonsense, it's not a human, could it be a ghost!?"
"I always feel that in this kind of place, meeting ghosts is more normal than meeting people..."
"Then go over and say hello to the old ghost."
Wang Lu sighed: "If you are afraid, just follow me obediently. I guess there will be many stories in this village. Take your time, let's not worry."
——
The village hidden behind the clouds is not as mysterious and scary as the book boy imagined. After talking with the passing villagers, I learned that the name of the village is Taoyuan, and the villagers have lived here in seclusion since hundreds of thousands of years ago. There are rich products in the fairy mountains, and life has been rich and comfortable for thousands of years.
The people of Taoyuan Village are warm and hospitable. At noon on the day they came to Taoyuan Village, the village head of Taoyuan Village hosted a banquet at home for the master and servant, and more than half of the people in the village arrived. The scene was noisy and noisy, Wang Lu and the little book boy were feasting, drinking the sweet wine made from mountain springs and wild fruits, and the fatigue in Yunbotu was swept away.
At the dinner table, other than eating and drinking, people talked and laughed. According to Wang Lu, this was a great opportunity to collect information. However, the strange thing was that the closure of Taoyuan Village was beyond imagination. Let alone the Kyushu Continent, people didn’t even know that they were in Located in the fairy mountains, for the villagers, the surrounding green mountains and green waters are the whole world.
What's even more bizarre is that the villagers didn't show much curiosity about the sudden appearance of outsiders. People are hospitable, but not at all interested in the outside world.
"What? There are immortals outside? Feixian Yujian is so powerful! Come on, this is the yellow croaker, a specialty of the village, try it..."
"Emperor? What is an emperor? Bigger than the village chief? What, you have to kneel down when you see the emperor, and your head will be beheaded if you are not careful? What a barbaric village! Why don't you try the steamed buns my mother-in-law steamed..."
Wang Lu's encounter was roughly the same. Even if he wanted to guide him, he couldn't start the topic. The villagers' thinking was as stubborn as if they had eaten too much Guanyin soil.
In the evening, the two stayed at the village head's house. The village head's grandfather deliberately vacated an empty room in the backyard, and the conditions were better than those in an inn. It's just that both master and servant are a little absent-minded.
The book boy was uneasy, how could there be such a big fish and meat on the road to immortality? Which of the poor boys in the story did not go through untold hardships to achieve the true fruit, so that they can enter Misty Peak after eating, drinking and having fun all the way. Isn’t the two blue and white in Xiaoyao Peak just too sad
As for Wang Lu, he was puzzled by the villagers' reactions during the day.
According to the theory of adventurers, if the road to immortality is regarded as an adventure, Lingxi Town is undoubtedly a novice village, while Jinqiao and Yunwu are the first long-term adventures, and Taoyuan Village after that is an important turning point for the past and the future. , is the beginning of a large number of mainline and branch lines. It is equivalent to the main city in many adventure stories. But the closed reaction of the villagers clearly put an end to the possibility of all missions.
At the banquet in the evening, he talked with most of the people in the village, and there was no sign of the mission starting.
"Tsk, what kind of unfinished rhythm is this?"
Wang Lu couldn't sleep until the next morning, when Wang Lu brushed his teeth by the river with a toothbrush in his hand, things turned around.
"It's really where we don't meet each other in life."
Seeing the person walking out of the woods outside the village, Wang Lu almost swallowed all the mouthwash.
"Little sea!?"
Hai Yunfan's smile suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Xiaohai... just Xiaohai, brother Wang Lu, I never expected to meet you here."
Wang Lu put down the toothbrush and looked puzzled: "I didn't expect to meet you. I thought it was a small dungeon, but a passerby like you appeared, or did we unconsciously form a team by default?"
—
At the same time, the person in charge on Misty Peak was about to go crazy.
"Where did Taoyuan Village come from!?"
"...Master, even if you ask me that, I can't answer it."
The black and white disciples who were questioned by Misty Peak Master's red eyes were under tremendous pressure, and almost had to sacrifice the spirit sword on their backs to maintain their figure under the pressure of the master.
Not long ago, a ray of leaked anger from the sect master swept across the cloud formation, and now Liu Xian seemed to have the intention of comparing himself. Under the anger, the power of the primordial spirit was released, and the entire Misty Swordsmanship Hall trembled endlessly. The surrounding sea of clouds boiled and rolled, as if being grasped and torn by countless invisible hands... And within a hundred meters of Liu Xian's body, people whose cultivation level was below the Void Core level could not gain a foothold at all.
"Brother, calm down."
Zhou Ming, who is also an elder of the sect, shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xian on the shoulder, a cool sword intent poured in, and Liu Xian's eyes cleared immediately: "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Zhou Ming smiled wryly: "I can't blame you, brother, you are angry. This Taoyuan Village... really makes people laugh and cry."
At first, he thought that this village was just a prank on someone's whim, but when the second wave of people who walked out of Yunbotu were also sent to Taoyuan Village, Liu Xian realized that things were a little out of control.
A certain evil person completely changed the road to immortality, and arbitrarily added an inexplicable village between Yunbotu and Nether Road, becoming an insurmountable obstacle. Anyone, no matter what choice they make in Yunbotu, the next stop will be Taoyuan Village.
Although... being able to modify the Immortal Ascension Formation with Misty Peak as the main body by one's own power without anyone noticing is really admirable, but it is too much to use this genius to add obstacles to the sect. It's fucked up.
Zhou Ming sighed: "... I don't know what the head brother said this time?"
Liu Xian snorted coldly: "What the hell, have senior brothers ever said anything about her in all these years!?"
"... Sigh, I don't know what Fifth Senior Sister wants to do this time. This Taoyuan Village is so strange."
Liu Xian was a little impatient: "Probably another prank that no one can understand..."
"Tsk, my genius design is just a prank in your eyes? Brother, your taste for burning zithers and cooking cranes is really unwavering for a hundred years."
"Oh oh oh it's you!!!"
Hearing that familiar voice that had appeared countless times in nightmares, Liu Xian's calm fighting spirit warmed up by that ethereal fairy heart that shocked Kyushu suddenly soared to the sky, and the light of the sword in his hand flashed. The force came out with the sword light, and suddenly blasted to the rear.
Zhou Ming's eyes lit up: "What an angry blow, the strength of this Gengjin sword has surpassed the peak of Yuanying... It seems that it will be within fifty years for the brother to break through the realm."
It's a pity that such a sword energy that surpassed the limit met the wrong opponent.
Bright and blazing, the unparalleled Gengjin sword energy melted like snow in front of the white figure, calming down silently. The woman in white who came walking from the foot of the mountain shook her wrist: "Brother, what are you doing? Demolition?"
After Liu Xian went away with a sword, he also calmed down, but his anger remained undiminished: "Look at what you have done! The Ascension Conference has become a mess!"
"Where do you start with this? I have worked hard to make the Immortal Ascension Conference more efficient. In order to decorate this Taoyuan Village, I even used the top-grade spiritual stones in my collection. I paid for it myself. I just applied for it." The overtime pay was rejected by the senior brother... "
Liu Xian said angrily: "Who will pay for your nonsense!? You know, although the Spirit Sword Sect has not held the Ascension to Immortals Conference for many years, the procedures have been determined hundreds of years ago. Every step They have been tempered countless times..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was mercilessly interrupted: "Being tempered countless times by mediocrity is just a mediocre procedure. Yunbotu determines the direction, Red Ridge Mountain, Nether Road, etc. determine the height. The idea is good, and it can indeed determine It shows a person's various qualities. But you have been cultivating immortals for hundreds of years, and you are also a well-known Nascent Soul old monster. Don't you understand that the most important part of cultivating immortals is not aptitude, spiritual root, nor temperament? Chance!"
After receiving such a confident rebuttal, Liu Xian's momentum was a little weak: "Then what are you talking about?"
"Of course it's emotional intelligence!"
"..."
"It's no longer a battle between immortals and demons. The main theme of today's Kyushu mainland is peace and development. It's outdated to be brave and ruthless. Making friends is the foundation of establishing a foothold in the world of cultivating immortals! I designed this Taoyuan Village to test newcomers If you can't even get along with the villagers in this simple mountain village, let alone the cruel world of cultivating immortals. You must all know the story of the unparalleled military god on Junhuang Mountain a hundred years ago? Tsk tsk, Half-step Mahayana cultivation base, Kyushu Wushuang, but because of too many enemies, he was wiped out when the catastrophe came... Without enough emotional intelligence, how can you get along!"
On the side, Liu Xian and Zhou Ming were dumbfounded.
emotional intelligence? Make friends? You... you fucking mouse, you have the nerve to say that!
"Besides, my Taoyuan Village is not that simple. The village inherits the results of Yunbotu, and the trialists will get different starting points, and then according to their personality and chance, different task chains will be triggered in the village, and they will be completed according to the task. Depending on the situation, you will get different rewards, for example, if you fill up the favorability of the village chief, you can get a reward of halving your physical energy consumption when you enter the Red Ridge Mountain route... Hey, are you listening carefully?"
——
In Taoyuan Village, Hai Yunfan, who never meets in life, is very envious of Wang Lu's fortune.
He also came through the mist from the Yunbo map. As the second wave of people who entered the village, Hai Yunfan's treatment was much worse than Wang Lu's. Although there were warm hospitality from the villagers, the banquet was a no-brainer. I also live in ordinary houses.
Especially when walking with Wang Lu, the gap is very obvious. The smiles of the villagers are given to Wang Lu without exception, and Hai Yunfan is like a transparent person.
"However, as long as I think about the treatment of people who come later than me, I can feel a little more balanced in my heart."
Wang Lu looked disgusted: "There are more?"
Hai Yunfan said with a smile: "There can be fifty or sixty people who can walk out of Yunbotu, but it seems that the longer it takes, the more difficult it is to get along in this village... It's strange, how can this village be What's going on? I've never heard of it."
Hearing this, Wang Lu frowned—Hai Yunfan was too familiar with the comments on the road to immortality: "Do you know the road to immortality?"
"Including the entire Immortal Ascension Conference, I have a little understanding... Brother Wang Lu, are you interested in listening?"
"No."
Hai Yunfan was not surprised by this: "So, what do you think of this village?"
"I didn't have it before, but now I have a little clue... But I have to wait a little longer to confirm."
Hai Yunfan nodded: "Then please, I really don't have the confidence to get good grades in this village."
"Wait, please, what do I mean? I don't intend to keep you!"
"Haha, we are friends!"
"Haha, we've been friends forever."
