The village chief was a wrinkled old man, dark skinned and too thin for human form.
The lump-like crystalline salt was thrown into a pot and boiled into water, and then the people gathered at the door, each with a bowl.
The big man was also among them, but when it was his turn, only the last bit of the bottom of the pot was left.
The pot looks very heavy, copper-colored, and has intricate patterns on it.
Although the bowl has a gap, it is still very beautiful overall. It is not a standard bowl, but a wavy bowl with a lingering mouth. It looks like a stretched lotus leaf from a distance, but the capacity is a little small.
"The three are laughing, these are the relics of the ancestors."
The big man walked away with the bowl indifferently.
His house is good in the village, but there is nothing to be commended except that he does not need to bend over to prevent hitting the roof. The two thick wooden frames are the beams of the house.
"There are peach forests around here. This kind of big tree has to go deep into the mountains to get it."
The big man stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the invasion of the night.
"There are a lot of beasts there, hunters who are incompetent can go in."
He asked Shi Feng and the three to sit down, and picked up two large pieces of air-dried meat without a knife. He tore it with his bare hands, dipped it in salt water and chewed it. Seeing Shi Feng's slightly frowning brows, he immediately laughed out loud: "Eat, don't be polite. Although there is not much food in my family, after you live here, it is not difficult for you to return the prey to me."
There is a deep meaning in his tone, and any immortal will not be happy if he hears it.
"Cough, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. Pindao and others just passed by here, and they don't plan to stay here for a long time."
The big man tore at the meat's hand for a while, showing a surprised expression: "The road to the cave is complicated, and it all depends on luck to get out. This way back is impossible. After this village road is the vast mountains, and there are many wild beasts, all of which are descendants of monsters. There are still some evil people who kill and eat meat and take blood to refine their souls, which are very cruel."
He put down the meat and said solemnly: "Just like we dare not go into the mountains to hunt at night, these beasts and evil races rarely leave the place where the turbid atmosphere is deep. If you don't stay here, where can you go?"
Nan Hongzi narrowed his eyes and said with a sigh, "But there are rumors in the fairy world that there was a fairy named Yun Chenzi who walked out of the Valley of Waterfalls unharmed."
The big man was stunned at first, and then said decisively: "There is absolutely no such thing. As long as you come here, you have never left."
"Is that so?" Nan Hongzi looked like he didn't want to believe it. "Even so, I still hope to find a way out and return to the Immortal Realm."
The big man shredded the jerky in silence. Seeing that the three of Shi Feng did not move, he did not persuade him any further.
The sky was getting darker and there were no oil lamps in the house. The big man stretched out and got up and said, "Since you don't believe me, you can go to the village early tomorrow to have a look. If it's getting late today, you can rest here."
Saying that, he pushed open a broken door and entered a room behind.
After a while, snoring came from inside.
Of course, the three Shi Feng didn't care about any beasts. They walked out of the house and went all the way to the entrance of the village.
The night was thick, and the village was quiet. Occasionally there were voices, but they were also suppressed by the roar of the wild beasts in the distant mountains. Nan Hongzi said with divine sense as he walked, "Could it be that Xianjun Yunchen didn't come here?"
"Master, this rumor was six or seven hundred years ago, when Yun Chenzi was not an immortal." Shi Feng knew this rumor better than Nan Hongzi, who had a shorter flying day, "These immortals know better. Descendants, like they can live so long?"
For immortals, things that are not too far away are already legends to mortals.
Li Yan sees all this clearly: "It's just a group of people who want to gain benefits!"
In addition to those magic weapons that have long lost their power, Mancun can't even get a decent porcelain bowl and pot, only bones and bamboo chips.
Maybe the people in the village didn't know how capable the immortals were, but they knew how many things immortals had. Those villagers who wanted to come up and talk to Shi Feng and the others were stared at by the big man, and then shrank back.
Clothes, utensils, and even the talismans painted on their faces—they didn’t want much, and their eyes were full of warm expectations.
"This place has pure vitality and yin and evil spirits alternate every day, but it is a good place to practice." Nan Hongzi stroked his beard with a bit of satisfaction.
"No."
Shi Feng stopped it: "Cang Jieyuan's monster is going to cross here and attack the fairyland. This village can't be saved at all."
Besides, this is not a peaceful place.
"But once the demonic beast of Cang Jie Yuan appears, we will know it immediately." Nan Hongzi raised his sleeves excitedly, "What is more important than timing."
Turning his head to the left, he told Li Yan with his spiritual sense: "Little apprentice, this place is very suitable for you to understand the earth veins."
Turning his head to the right, he instigated Shi Feng with his spiritual sense: "Yin and yang are dim at dawn, heaven and earth are perfect, and in the future, the pure and holy vitality will eventually become the sun, and the yin and suffocating qi will crystallize into the moon. The source. Hey, don't understand, the meaning of being a teacher is that this place is especially suitable for double cultivation."
"… "
Nan Hongzi looked at Shi Feng who looked away, then looked at Li Yan who was full of anger, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, coughed dryly, and said to himself: "Look at the memory of the poor! It's bad, the voice transmission of the divine sense can't hide it from Luo Tianshangxian, and it's not enough to whisper."
Shi Feng felt that if he continued, the younger brother might actually want to kill him.
In the end, before he could stop him, Li Yan said, "In terms of dual cultivation techniques, of course, I have the majority of the devil's way. It's okay to try it with my senior brother."
It was too late last time, not because Li Yan did not understand.
Chen He didn't know the double cultivation technique, but Mozun Liyan collected a bunch of them.
"Master, you can go for a leisurely walk in the mountains."
Wherever it is cool, go to you!
Nan Hongzi choked, looked around, and found that Shi Feng didn't mean to speak for him at all, and the fire in the fat pier was not there, and he was alone.
Touching the tip of his nose, Nan Hongzi shook his whisk and left without looking back.
- Apprentice or something, it's really not caring.
Without waiting for Shi Feng to speak, Li Yan said again: "The peach forest in front of you, near the water, has a better breath, senior brother come with me."
Peace was restored in the village.
"Squeak."
The door opened, and the big man stood there with a gloomy face. It was pitch black in the middle of the night, making his expression a little grim.
"Brother, those people are gone?" A young girl with beautiful eyebrows ran out of the room next to her. She walked into the door and looked at it, and said in surprise, "Is there a fish left?"
The big man stretched out his hand and pushed her aside, angrily saying, "Shallow eyelids, you are satisfied with this thing? There have been no immortals in the village for many years. If you can keep them, the closer you are to immortals, my future nephew, your child. In the future, he will continue to be respected in the village."
The woman's face turned red, and Nuonuo said, "I see them... They look very good, I'm afraid they are, I'm afraid they don't look down on me."
"What's wrong with you, you are my little sister, can there be a more beautiful girl than you in the village?"
"But, outside..."
The big man slapped the woman's face and said angrily: "What outside, you want to go out after entering the Wanpu Valley? Those guys are holding the air, you really think they can walk."
The woman didn't cover her face, but her brother's act gave her more courage and resentment, and directly retorted: "The immortal who came to our village hundreds of years ago, didn't he leave in the end? Brother didn't hear it just now, that person is safe and sound. If we can follow them back to the fairyland, why do we need to be evil people?"
"Idiot, what are you doing back to the fairyland?" The big man said sarcastically, "Why did our ancestors enter the Wanpu Valley, everything is good in the fairyland, why did they come here? If you want to go to the fairyland, you can't even carry a sheep on your shoulders. ? Going to Immortal Realm to be slaughtered?"
The woman's eyes dimmed, and she whispered, "But staying here, you can only be as dead as our ancestors."
"Shut up, what do you know?" said the big man dissatisfied, "I went to the mountains to pick up herbs at dawn, and you ground it into powder and put it in the millet porridge. When they came here, they were already hungry and hungry. Tired, immortals live forever, sucking the wind and drinking dew, how long can you survive if you can’t become an immortal?”
"The jerky just now, they didn't move a single bite..."
"That's natural, it's crude, and it's not dragon liver and phoenix brain nectar." The big man sneered, "The immortals have high vision, but no matter how high their hearts are, they will end up kneeling in the soil, running around for survival, watching them. Isn't it interesting that this kind of arrogance is slowly collapsing?"
The woman looked complicated and remained silent.
The door slammed shut.
The morning light, along with the holy vitality, enveloped the earth again, and the sky was bright.
The big man lazily picked up the bow and spear and walked towards the entrance of the village. He couldn't wait to see what the three of them looked like when they came back downcast.
As a result, they came out of the Peach Blossom Forest, and before they went far, they saw a bamboo building at the foot of the mountain.
Brand new, the fracture still exudes the fragrance of trees, and the villagers who got up early to hunt all stood there looking strangely.
The stream was led by a few hollow bamboos to the side of the bamboo building. A large and small pool was built with cobblestones.
It's just that those fish scales are broken and swaying uncomfortably.
"This, this is the magic weapon?" Some villagers murmured in surprise.
They have all heard that their ancestors refined magic weapons many years ago, and when they are thrown away, they can become bigger or smaller, and it is very comfortable for people to live in.
"No, this is the purple bamboo in the mountains. It's very hard."
"How is this roof covered? And the windows..."
During the discussion, Nan Hongzi came back with a pheasant with bright feathers.
"Yo, what's the matter?" He greeted everyone with a smile, "Go hunting? Pindao went to the mountains to see last night, there are a lot of good things."
After rubbing his hands, he skillfully began to pluck the pheasant.
He threw out a branch to make a fire, took out a pot from the bamboo building, and hummed happily. For the past two days, he ate alone, and no apprentices robbed him.
"you you…"
The villagers were a little stunned, you look at me, I look at you.
Wanpugu is not like they said, they have not seen immortals for many years, their ancestors were immortals themselves, leaving many records.
Immortals are very powerful, but after losing their power, they can only rely on their help to live in the village.
"This house?"
"Oh, our small world is attacked by beasts every day, and humans will build houses." Nan Hongzi said with a smile, "Your ancestors were immortals, but before they became immortals, many immortals were humans."
"This... this chicken?"
"Ha, to tell you the truth, I killed chickens before I became immortal!"
