Feng Gongzi was silent at this time, as if he didn't know how to talk about it.

Mei Niang spoke first: "According to Sister Lan, you have been here for ten years?"

A trace of trance flashed on Feng Gongzi's face, and then he nodded again.

Mei Niang smiled bitterly: "I guess you have also thought of many ways, but you still can't go back to the original place?"

Feng Gongzi nodded, glanced at Mei Niang, and shook his head again.

Mei Niang's eyes lit up, so he also has some clues?

Seeing Mei Niang's expression, Feng Gongzi's face became even more gloomy, sighed, and told everything he had encountered in the ten years he had been here, and Mei Niang gradually fell into deep thought.

It turned out that when Feng Gongzi strayed into here, he was also a high-spirited young man, and his cultivation was quite high, and he was originally a descendant of the pill family, so he also brought all kinds of good things with him.

When he arrived in this village, Feng Gongzi, like Mei Niang, met some well-wishers, and was also told that he didn't know how long ago, someone outside had strayed into this place, and he looked for a way out here for an unknown amount of time, but in the end he still didn't survive, and he couldn't get out until he died.

After trying various methods, Feng Gongzi finally gave up the idea of going out in the third year. In the village, he also felt the concern of many people for him, and some people even wanted to give him a daughter-in-law, but he had a very loving lady in the original place, so he has been politely refusing until now.

When he said this, Feng Gongzi's face showed a trace of pain, and it seemed that he had never forgotten his mother in his heart.

Later, Feng Gongzi was not willing to eat and drink for nothing, because he was a descendant of the pill family, and the original alchemy level was not low (he did not disclose the specific level), and the most basic mortal healing was not a problem. So then he went to pick herbs in the morning, and by the way, he went to check if there was a way out, and in the afternoon, he helped the people in the village to see a doctor to pass the time and make a living.

When Mei Niang heard this, her face couldn't help but be a little subtle, she hadn't started to look for an alchemist, but suddenly one appeared around her, although it is not yet possible to determine his level, but at least the entry-level is definitely no problem, maybe she can worship him as a teacher first and learn alchemy?

Originally, when it came to this, there was no plot of ups and downs, but Mei Niang always felt that it was not that simple, otherwise there was no need for Feng Gongzi to shake his head and nod again.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Gongzi continued to tell what he encountered later.

Originally, he lived here and didn't think there was anything strange, until one day, he suddenly found that there was no old man over sixty years old in the whole village, except for Grandpa Mu, who didn't know how old he was.

You know, no matter where you are, unless that place is a short-lived place, or under some spell, it is impossible for an old man not to see it.

With such a question in his heart, he finally chose to raise his question one day with a man who took his wife to see a doctor, and after three rounds of drinking.

The man probably drank too much, and kept crying and laughing when he heard his question, saying that they lived to become fodder until a certain age, but people in their sixties would not live long, so they were also satisfied with the peace and happiness of living here after all.

Later, Feng Gongzi asked again, but the man refused to say anything, until he was so drunk that he couldn't move, so Feng Gongzi had to help him send him home.

After that, Feng Gongzi paid more attention, and when he found an opportunity, he would knock on the side, and finally a woman who had been healed by him for nearly sixty years told him the truth.

It turned out that the last person who strayed here, including all the old people in their sixties in the village, as long as it was their sixtieth birthday, would go to Grandpa Mu after the last reunion with their families. Grandpa Mu naturally arranged for them to dedicate their year's essence to Mu Ling, which is also the origin of the name of Mu Ling Village. Of course, after they dedicated, the village would always be rich and peaceful. They have already reached the age of knowing their destiny, and in many places, their average life expectancy may be less than sixty years, and the happiness of their descendants is naturally more important than their old dedication.

And the reason why the woman was willing to tell Feng Gongzi was because he had been in this village for almost ten years, and secondly, she herself was almost at the age of dedication, and if Feng Gongzi hadn't rescued her, she might not even be able to survive that age, so she chose to tell him and Pan, which was also contemplative.

When Mei Niang heard it, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide. This wood spirit can't be a demonic beast that wants to eat people, right? But why does it have to eat old people? And why is it called a wood spirit?

When Feng Gongzi saw Mei Niang's expression, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "That Grandpa Mu, I haven't seen it yet." According to others, no one could take the initiative to see him unless Grandpa Mu summoned him personally. And everyone who has been summoned by him will regard this as an honor, because the summoned person will learn a powerful trick from him, and every year there will be a small beast tide in this village, and then these people can use this trick to repel the demonic beasts. ”

Mei Niang remembered that Sister Lan's father-in-law was also with Grandpa Mu today, no wonder she was in a good mood today, it turned out that she was also in it for this reason.

"Even if you can learn tricks, why do you all believe so much in the fact that you have to go to Grandpa Mu to lose your life when you reach the age, and you don't hate this Grandpa Mu at all?" Mei Niang asked the doubts in her heart.

Feng Gongzi shook his head and said: "I also asked, but this Grandpa Mu is said to have lived for hundreds of years, and he has always been very good to the people in the village, and the people in the village said that he was just the messenger arranged by Mu Ling here, and the tricks he passed on to the people in the village were also handed over to him by Mu Ling, so everyone respected him very much." ”

Mei Niang looked at Feng Gongzi, but saw him smile sarcastically, and then said, "I think you are also a cultivator, so you should also be with me." This Grandpa Mu, I'm afraid it's just a Wood Spirit, at least a cultivator above the Yuan Infant, how can a mortal have such a long lifespan?"

Mei Niang thought so, nodded and said: "If he is the wood spirit, then it is easy to do, with the combined efforts of the two of us, it may not be impossible to fight, I am afraid that he is only the spokesperson of the wood spirit, and the wood spirit will not know how terrible it is." ”

Feng Gongzi nodded, but there was a smile on his face that seemed to have at least some sincere feelings: "To be honest, I was a little excited to see you today. Because even if I had some ideas, I was alone, but now at least someone has discussed. ”

Mei Niang thought it was true that if it weren't for Li Haoyu, Wu Bailian or even Shen Lanshuang, she wouldn't have gone so smoothly all the way to this world.

Feng Gongzi glanced at Mei Niang, shook his head and said, "It's just that you're a young girl, and it's bold enough to go to that dense forest alone." And you're only fifteen years old, aren't you?"

For Feng Gongzi to see through his gender at a glance, Mei Niang couldn't help but be a little curious. Because she has just turned eleven years old this year, her appearance is no different from that of a boy, and so far, even the Chen family and the Lin family masters, who have experienced old calculations, have not recognized her as a girl.

Feng Gongzi said with a smile: "You don't have to be surprised, we people who learn alchemy are particularly sensitive to the use of aura by cultivators, if you are an ordinary person, I may not know it yet, but the aura of girls and boys is completely different." ”

Mei Niang didn't seem to understand it, so she had to smile too.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Mei Niang asked directly.

"I want you to move in so we can talk about things more easily. This Feng Gongzi is also a straightforward person, and it may be because Mei Niang is in the same situation as him, he doesn't have to worry about the reason why Mei Niang has other ideas.

Mei Niang hesitated, nodded and said, "At least wait for tomorrow, right? I'll go and thank Sister Lan today." ”

After thinking for a while, Mei Niang added: "I plan to tell Sister Lan that I am very interested in your medical skills and want to worship you as a teacher, can I?"

Feng Gongzi nodded indifferently and said: "If you are really interested, it doesn't hurt to teach you, I am already in my forties, if I can't find my way out before sixty, it is estimated that I will also have to be sent to dedicate the wood spirit, this craft can at least make me feel a little at ease, right?"

Mei Niang couldn't help but be dumbfounded, although she originally wanted to learn this, but how could she hear that Feng Gongzi was full of unconfidence in walking out of this place, was it because she had stayed here for too long, but felt that there was little hope?

No matter what, he will never give up, and this Feng Gongzi has already figured out the situation so clearly, he can't go out even if he has such a foundation, not to mention whether he can realize his dream of becoming stronger in the future, and I'm sorry for Feng Gongzi's endurance and humiliation in the past ten years, isn't it?

Now that she has decided to move over, Mei Niang and Feng Gongzi should now be called Master Feng, and after saying goodbye, they went back to Sister Lan's house, and when there was no one occupied, she used her aura to speed up a little, and rushed back before dark.

When Sister Lan opened the door, Mei Niang saw that there was an honest-looking man in the yard, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks, he just went to see that Grandpa Mu today, can he dig some useful information from his mouth?

"This is your Brother Zhang", Sister Lan introduced very happily: "This is the little Yu Gongzi I mentioned to you just now, Xiwa likes him very much, and he also agreed to teach Xiwa to read." ”

At this time, Mei Niang was a little embarrassed, but when she discussed things with Master Feng just now, she forgot about it.

"That Sister Lan", Mei Niang has never been a tangled person, so she had to smile very apologetically and say to Sister Lan: "In the future, Xiwa will come here regularly to teach him to read, but I may not be able to live in your house." ”

Sister Lan didn't seem to expect Mei Niang to say this suddenly, and looked at Mei Niang a little strangely.

Mei Niang touched her nose and said: "I went to Master Feng today, and I knew that this place must be inseparable, so I can't eat and drink for nothing, plus I was more interested in medical skills before, so I proposed to worship Master Feng as a teacher, and he agreed." ”

Sister Lan looked a little surprised at this time, and shouted directly: "He actually agreed to accept you as an apprentice?" After that, she turned to her father-in-law and said: "Look, I'll just say it, this little Yu Gongzi looks like a smart person, and even Feng Gongzi, who said that it was impossible to accept apprentices, was relieved." ”

Mei Niang only then understood why Sister Lan was making a fuss, and couldn't help laughing twice. In her opinion, it is very normal for Feng Gongzi to be reluctant to accept people from the village as apprentices, to learn his medical skills, first, he needs aura, and this place does not even have an aura, otherwise it would be impossible for him to stay here for ten years, and he is still the original cultivator;

That Brother Zhang is also a relatively easy-going person, and he doesn't seem to be very good at talking, so when he heard Sister Lan say this, he also smiled, and looked very kind to Mei Niang. It seems that the folk customs of this village are really very simple, and everyone really has no bad intentions.
