"To be honest, I only came to this village three months ago, and I don't know much about the situation in this village. Fellow Taoist Yi must have also discovered that there is no spiritual energy outside the village, but spiritual energy is forbidden, but there is neither spiritual energy nor spiritual energy in the village.
Even the consciousness cannot be used."
"This village is just like an ordinary village in the mortal world, but it is isolated from the world. The villagers live and work in peace and contentment and are self-sufficient. No villager has ever left this place. As for the other things, I really don't know much about it."
Yi Lanshan sighed, her eyes filled with sadness, "Even Taoist friend Zhang couldn't find a way out after three months here. How can we find an exit..."
She preconceived the idea that Zhang Zheng was also trapped here and could not leave.
Zhang Zheng's eyelids were half closed, her eyes flickered, and she didn't offer any excuse. She couldn't say that she didn't want to leave this place, but it would easily arouse suspicion.
Zhang Zheng raised his eyes and said worriedly: "What are the plans of Fellow Daoist Yi and Fellow Daoist Yan in the future?"
"The village chief doesn't welcome us, so we can only explore in the village first. It would be best if we can find clues to the exit. If not, we will have to leave the village in three days before making any plans."
Yan Shaoting, who was lying on the desk, suddenly raised his head and asked frankly: "Why can Fellow Daoist Zhang stay in the village?"
This question was too offensive, and the tone seemed to be questioning her, criticizing her for having a way to stay but deliberately not wanting to reveal it to them.
Zhang Zheng's face was gloomy for a moment, but Yilanshan's expression changed drastically. She knew that her junior brother was pampered and rude, but she didn't expect that he could not speak like this!
They are not familiar with the place now, and they will most likely rely on Zhang Zheng, who is close to the villagers, to find out information in the village. If they piss people off, they will probably get out of the village without finding anything.
Yi Lanshan glared at him fiercely and smiled apologetically at Zhang Zheng: "That's not what Shaoting meant. He has been manipulated and speaks carelessly. Please don't blame me, fellow Daoist Zhang."
"Shaoting, apologize to fellow Taoist Zhang!" she scolded sternly.
Yan Shaoting had obviously realized that what he said was inappropriate, but he had just been so angry with the children in the village that he took out his anger on Zhang Zheng without thinking.
His face changed several times, and his pale face turned as red as a monkey's butt with anger. He muttered for a long time but could not say "I'm sorry".
Zhang Zheng knew that he didn't mean it, so he smoothed things over with a calm expression, "Nothing happened. Fellow Taoist Yan has a childish nature, so I don't need to blame him."
"As for why I can stay here, it's just a coincidence."
"Three months ago, as soon as the realm of mountains and seas opened, I appeared outside the village. I wandered around for a few days and accidentally saw the existence of this village. Then, like two fellow Taoists, I asked the village chief to take me in for a few days."
"In those days, I was looking for something to do, so I shamelessly helped the villagers plow the fields, carry water and water the seedlings. From time to time, I would listen to my husband giving lectures to the children outside the private school wall. The private school teacher saw that I was quite studious and polite.
Kindly help me out and let me be a book boy next to her and help her sort out the books."
"I can stay in the village because of my husband. I didn't tell my two Taoist friends before because I didn't think carefully."
Zhang Zheng's eyes were clear and clear, without any false intentions.
Yi Lanshan glanced at Yan Shaoting and said quickly: "Why do you say this, fellow Daoist Zhang? You have helped us a lot, and it is not too late for us to be grateful."
Even if they already knew why Zhang Zheng stayed, they were at a loss. Firstly, it was impossible for the kind-hearted gentleman to accept three bookboys in a row; secondly, Yi Lanshan and Yan Shaoting were both leaders in the sect, not to mention the beloved elders.
He is tall and can be regarded as noble and self-sufficient. How could he be willing to lower his body and work in the fields to please a group of mortals?
Yan Shaoting's disdain for mortals is visible to anyone with a discerning eye. Her good upbringing makes her know how to hide it, but deep down in her heart she still separates mortals from monks by thousands of miles. Asking her to stoop to please mortals just for a clueless exit, she would rather
Find a way outside the village.
The method of imitating Zhang Zheng was quickly ignored by them all.
Before leaving, Zhang Zheng said politely out of friendliness: "If you two fellow Taoists have any trouble, please let me know. If I can do it, I will do my best."
Returning to the house behind the private school, Zhang Zheng pushed open the door softly and entered. An oil lamp burned dimly, giving a touch of warmth to the gentleman who was wrapped in clothes and reading beside the case.
There seemed to be stars twinkling in his black eyes. The gentleman put down the book, curved his lips and smiled, "I'm back."
She didn't ask her what she was doing. Zhang Zheng sat down cross-legged beside her and inadvertently glanced at the title of the book on the case - "Nine One and Seven Lu Runji Leaves a Letter".
"More exposed, sir, why haven't you rested yet?"
The gentleman smiled extremely lovingly, and his soft face was not absolutely beautiful, but under the warm yellow light, it showed all kinds of tenderness, which was dazzling. "The burden on my shoulders is about to be put down, and I feel relaxed, but I can't sleep anymore."
Seeing her genuine relaxation and joy, Zhang Zheng also relaxed her expression. If she could make her husband happy, her choice would be meaningful.
"Sir, can the student ask you a question? If you find it inconvenient to answer, sir, just pretend not to hear, and the student will not ask you a second time."
The husband looked at her in surprise, blinked, and said with a smile: "Of course you can."
"Sir, why doesn't your appearance age like that of the villagers?"
According to what the husband said, she has been in his position for seventy-nine years and should be close to a hundred years old, but she does not look like an octogenarian at all.
Zhang Zheng had doubts buried in his heart for a long time. He thought it was a strange thing in the world of mountains and seas, and no one in the village would age. But today, when chatting with Aunt Huo, he learned that the appearance of the villagers would age, and only Mr.
Won't.
Now that she had the opportunity to ask, she looked at her husband's face without blinking, feeling slightly uneasy.
The gentleman was stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes and glanced at the books on the case. His voice was calm and there was nothing unusual about it, "The post of sir is not something ordinary people can take on. As for the mysteries involved, I can't explain it clearly, so I can only speak with clarity. Ordinary people."
Anyone who serves as a gentleman can have a permanent appearance after the surname. This can be regarded as a gift left by the first gentleman to the descendants."
This is so!
Zhang Zheng recalled that his husband once said that the first gentleman became an immortal after enlightenment, and then recalled the mysterious image of the old man and the child. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sir, are there any records of the first gentleman's life?"
"The gentleman did not leave any records. He said these are just words of praise. What should be recorded in the book is the knowledge passed down from generation to generation, not a layman like him."
When the gentleman mentioned this, his expression was inexplicably complicated, seeming to be both admiration and sadness.
Zhang Zheng also felt a little regretful that he could not borrow the book to read about this ancestor's life.
"But don't be disappointed..."
