"What the hell is this place? Why is there no spiritual energy at all? It's been two months and I haven't seen anything."
The young man complained angrily, and with a slash of the long sword in his hand, one of the few branches of the small tree nearby was cut off, leaving not much left.
"Okay, let's go further and see. We may have just fallen into an illusion, and the guide plate doesn't work either."
The female voice comforted the young man with a warm voice, but the owner of the voice was looking into the distance with eyes full of sadness.
The two of them were Yi Lanshan, the chief senior sister of the Sidao Sect, and Yan Shaoting, another junior disciple of the palace.
They were lucky and unlucky. They were lucky to be transported to the same place by the beam of light, but unlucky was that they had been in the mountain and sea realm for more than two months and wasted all of them looking for the exit.
There is not a trace of spiritual energy here, and there is no sign of any heaven and earth spiritual treasures. After walking for more than two months, not a single person has been seen. Instead, birds, beasts, fish and insects can be seen everywhere. It is very likely that they have been transported to a certain place.
In a fantasy world.
After driving aimlessly for another month, the journey-weary seniors and sisters finally saw dozens of white smoke rising in the distance.
Yan Shaoting almost cried with joy. The smoke from the kitchen meant that there was a home. He cheered excitedly: "Senior sister, we finally see the smoke."
However, Yi Lanshan's expression did not appear to be so relaxed. On the contrary, she was full of doubts. She stopped Yan Shaoting, who was so excited that he wanted to rush over immediately, and reminded him: "We have been here for more than three months and have never seen any human beings, but suddenly they appeared here.
There may be a scam in this village. The Mountain and Sea Realm is a secret realm left over from ancient times. How can there be any living people in it?"
A basin of cold water cooled Yan Shaoting's heart, but it also temporarily calmed down his restless heart.
Indeed, if this place is really an illusion, then this village must also be a false illusion. The most important thing is that there should be no living people in the mountain and sea world. If you can live for such a long time, you must have ascended long ago.
"Then we just missed it?"
Yi Lanshan pondered for a moment, tightened the sword on his waist, shook his head and said: "We have walked for so long and found no clues. Even if this village is a wolf's den and a tiger's den, we have to go in and see if there is a way out. It's just...
…You have to be extremely careful.”
In Zhidao Village, a middle-aged farmer in a linen jacket hurried from the village entrance to the door of the village chief's house, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Pa bang..."
The farmer shouted to the village chief and knocked on the door.
Several children who had been running along stood on the roadside and shouted curiously: "Uncle Jin, why are you in such a hurry to find the village chief?"
Second Uncle Jin continued to knock on the door with one hand, and waved with the other to drive them away, "Let's go, let's go, you're just a kid. If you don't go to school every day, you wander around the village. I'll tell your parents to deal with you later."
Several children made a "cut" sound and made faces at Uncle Jin. One of the children shouted: "The village chief went to see the teacher, so he let us finish school early."
"Ah? Are you looking for sir?"
Uncle Jin quickly grabbed a child's arms and asked anxiously: "Do you know where they are?"
"Of course it's in private school..."
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Jin had already ran towards the private school in a hurry.
The children looked at each other, looking at each other, and then ran after Uncle Jin. He hadn't told them why they were so anxious!
"Village Chief, do you think this is okay?"
The old man who was called the village chief had a look of embarrassment on his face, and his folds were so deep that they could fill the muddy soil in the ravines in the field.
The old voice was full of energy, "Do you really want to give that little girl the surname of Mr.? This is a big deal and there is no room for carelessness."
The woman in a simple black shorts and trousers also had a book rolled in her hand, with a firm look in her eyes, "I'm sure. Village chief, you have also seen that Zhang Zheng was originally sent by the first gentleman. In the past three months, besides
To study with me is to help the villagers till the land and grow food, never slack off, be tenacious, simple and peaceful."
"This child has worked hard on her exams and teachings during this period. She humbly asks questions when she doesn't know something. She also talks about everything she knows to other students. She is smart and eager to learn. I think she can inherit my husband's legacy."
The village chief sighed and compromised: "That's all, it's not easy to find a good student, and it's even more difficult to find a good husband. But does that little girl know?"
The woman shook her head, "I haven't told her yet. I'm worried that if you don't agree, you might disappoint the child."
"Sir, go and talk to her. If she agrees, I will give her my ancestral surname."
"Bang bang."
There were two knocks on the door.
A clear female voice came from outside the door, "Sir, Uncle Jin came to see the village chief and said he had something urgent to say."
Village chief: "Ask him to come in. By the way, you come in too."
The next moment, the courtyard door opened, Zhang Zheng followed Uncle Jin into the room, and then closed the courtyard door softly.
As soon as he saw the village chief, Uncle Jin ignored the pleasantries and sputtered out all the words, "Two strangers came outside the village, a man and a woman. They said they were fleeing from a distant place and wanted to go into the village to ask for some food and drink.
, stay for one night. I saw that their clothes looked very clean, and they didn’t look like refugees fleeing from famine at all, so I didn’t dare to agree. I just told them to wait and I had to ask the village chief.”
Hearing this, the village chief's brows that he had just laid down furrowed again, and the deep "Sichuan" lines between his brows revealed his sorrow.
Their village has been isolated from the world for who knows how many years, and has not seen outsiders for a long time. This is the first time that refugees have fled to them for help.
It would be against humanity to leave them alone because they don't care, but if evil people are let in, it will be dangerous to the villagers.
It was really a dilemma. The village chief thought for a long time and said with his hands behind his back: "I'll let you go and have a look. Sir, please have a good talk with Zhang Yatou."
The backs of the village chief and Uncle Jin disappeared through the cracks in the courtyard door that gradually closed.
Thinking about the village chief's words before leaving, Zhang Zheng looked at the woman doubtfully, "Sir, do you have something to say to the students?"
The woman sat down on the chair and handed the rolled-up book to Zhang Zheng, "This book was written by the first gentleman. Children in the village don't want to hear this. If you like it, take it and study it carefully. If you don't understand anything,
Come and ask."
Zhang Zheng had already learned from them that the old man he saw in the mural was the first gentleman in their village, and that he had received a gift from this gentleman so that he could study with him in the village.
The books written by the first gentleman must also contain a lot of understanding of the Tao. This is really an extremely rare gift.
Zhang Zheng couldn't contain his joy. He bowed slightly, took the book with both hands, and respectfully thanked: "Student Zhang Zheng, thank you, sir."
"It's the way of a teacher to impart knowledge and resolve doubts. You don't need to thank me. I have another reason for calling you here this time."
The woman looked directly into Zhang Zheng's eyes and said seriously: "Are you willing to inherit my mantle and become the next gentleman of Zhidao Village? If you are willing, the village chief will give you the surname of sir."
"Next sir? Sir's last name?"
