Chapter 673: In the Village
"It's peaceful, the vegetation is lush, the fish swimming in the water are clearly visible, and they are full of life. The village not far away is full of smoke, and there is also the smell of people, could it be that the water girl is wrong. ”
Wen Renming felt it, his tone did not change at all, and he couldn't detect the slightest bit of something wrong.
"Since Fairy Shui Ji has said that there is a problem, she will not come to tease me and others, above the big right and wrong, Fairy Shui Ji is much more stable than we thought. ”
"If you come, you will be safe. ”
Xu An's keen spiritual sense also failed for the first time, he didn't notice any abnormality, everything was normal, flowers and trees, people walked a lot of muddy paths pressed out of the grass.
By the stream, there are a few large smooth stones, and not far away there are scattered small pieces of soaphorn.
In the distance, it was crowded, and it was getting dark, and soon it was going to be dusk, and it was normal for people to be here.
"Let's go, junior brother, we still have to be careful, the words of the water fairy always make us a little uneasy, what kind of weird and weird existence. ”
"Whether it is the water fairy or the master, they didn't say how to deal with it, but just told us that we literati are born to restrain them, and that's enough. ”
Xu An is much calmer, and an inexplicable self-confidence emerges from his body, he is still a weak scholar in Wendu, but after leaving Wendu, he can fight the demon king wisely, and he can go to the fairy lake in person, after experiencing two or three things, Xu An is more confident.
Wen Renming became more and more timid, from the beginning he chose to wait for Xu An to go together, but he lost his courage first.
The two of them had not urged any Wen Dao magic spells, and the small village was only three or four miles away from here, and even if they were ordinary people, their bodies were far stronger than ordinary people.
In less than half an hour, only half of the sun hung above the distant shadow of the mountain, and the orange light spread over the earth.
The smoke from the village grew thicker and thicker, one after the other.
Before I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a few children playing in the mud and constantly fighting, and a few sturdy women emerged from the village to lift the children's collars and pull them directly to each house.
Even in the villages in remote areas, the materials are also extremely abundant, this is the effect of two generations of emperors, Xu Wei was alive, just to plant the seeds of industry and various improvements to the entire human civilization, many things for Xu Wei is just a difference in concept, but it can bring great changes to the human race.
Wu Mingkong adhered to Xu Wei's philosophy, governed the entire human race according to the method he left behind, and finally ushered in a prosperous era, even if the Ming Dynasty had ended, the whole world did not completely fall into chaos.
Fortunately, this world is a world where immortals and gods exist, and some industrial processes cannot affect the overall situation, and can only greatly improve the lives of the people at the bottom.
Cultivators, literati, and martial artists are known all over the world, but ordinary people who want to step into the three ways of cultivation are all extremely difficult.
"It's so normal. ”
Even Xu An couldn't see anything wrong, but he glanced at Wen Renming, a little cautious, his body was tense, his hand was on his chest, and he held the Great Confucian Wenbao tightly.
Even he himself looked a little nervous, Xu An smiled dumbly, I am afraid that if he enters the village like this, he will not find weird, but they will become weird first.
"That child, this scholar and I are both students of hundreds of families, and we have traveled all over the world, so let your village chief come out to greet you. Xu An swept away his nervousness, smiled freely, and strode to the side of a seven or eight-year-old boy wearing a half-length coat.
At first glance, it was transformed from an adult's clothes, and he put it on his body, and a coarse cloth belt was tied around his waist.
"If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. ”
Xu An looked at the child stunned, and couldn't help but add.
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.
Although it is driven by profit, it is the simplest way, especially for children, the world of children is simpler, not as complicated as the world of adults.
"Are you immortals, gods, or human cultivators?"
The child's voice was crisp and clear, it was the official language of the Terrans, and he asked politely.
"Oh, we're not immortals, but we're also one of the cultivators, we're Wendao monks. Xu An sighed softly, this child in tattered clothes knows a lot.
"Brother Wendao?" the child's face was confused, as if he had never heard of it.
"It's strange that you kid knows all about the immortals, but you don't know anything about the two most widely spread civil and military realms in the world. ”
Xu An had already looked at it when he came, this village did not worship the gods, and there were traces of ancestral spirits, so it should be a relatively ordinary village.
"It is rumored that immortals or cultivators have supreme supernatural powers and can do anything, can you?" the child glanced at Xu An with suspicion.
Xu An smiled dumbly and said: "Omnipotent, it's just a legend, even the immortal god is just a more powerful human being, and you kid can't tell clearly, you can lead the way in front, don't stop us from entering the village." ”
"Senior brother, don't waste time with this child. Wen Renming also frowned, even if this village was dilapidated and there was no gatekeeper, but the arrival of two strangers did not usher in the slightest movement, as if everything was very normal.
The most ordinary is the most bizarre.
Anything that is wrong will make Wen Renming vigilant.
The child, who was only seven or eight years old, had a dirty face and tattered clothes, but he had no fear of strangers.
In the land of the human race, there are not a few demons and ghosts, even if the human race itself, there are many people who abduct and sell human beings and slaves.
The teachings of outsiders and parents seem to be careful and vigilant.
They had been at the entrance of the village for a short time, and the children who had been fighting before had been taken away by several women, so naturally they had seen them, and it would not be long before at least adult men would come out to inquire.
"The name of a plant, with wind as a surname, or after hyacinth?"
"Kid, what's your name?" Xu An was a little curious, he believed that there must be strange existence in this village, but he didn't understand what weirdness was, before that, everything had to be careful and vigilant, and it was also important to get enough information.
"Hyacinths. ”
Hyacinth shook his head and said, "I only know that my name is Hyacinth, and they all call me a little madman." ”
"It's really ,,, to stay away from the place of indoctrination. For a while, Wen Renming was a little emotional, he lived in an area with a developed degree of civilization, which was naturally very different from this kind of remote mountain village.
"The little madman is also very good, you see you have two names, and one is your own name, my senior brother and I have been reading poetry and books for more than ten years, and we have never had a loud name. Xu An said freely, he understood that a child would not know the meaning of a madman at all.
For him, or maybe it was just a title, even if it humiliated him a little, if he had been able to erect a positive thought earlier, then Hyacinth would not have been harmed by the vicious language of the name Little Madman.
Xu An has lived in Wendu since he was a child, and there are many literati who have been bewitched by fox Xin around him, and those people have tried all kinds of methods to deal with the three of them, but it is simple about physical safety, only this kind of verbal harm is really invisible, and those literati tried to use a kind of pressure to force Xu An to leave.
Senior brother, really kind, in the face of a small child Du Dun Dun teaching. Wen Renming looked at this scene with great emotion in his heart, the reincarnation scholar only has righteous thoughts, never good thoughts, treats all things in heaven and earth equally, can accept all changes, whether good or bad, and will not interfere too much in the changes of things, because reincarnation scientists believe that there is a certain change in things themselves, and if they meddle in the change, it will make it no longer perfect.
Hyacinth nodded thoughtfully, and there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and Hyacinth looked back to see a group of neatly dressed, powerful men coming under the leadership of a richly dressed middle-aged man.
"Remember, don't go out when it's dark, close the door at night, and sleep facing the wall. Hyacinth turned his head and said to Xu An with a very solemn expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled his legs and ran.
There were a few shouts in the middle, and the hyacinth ran faster and disappeared without a trace.
The whole village is a wide zigzag form, as early as in the distance, Xu An and Wen Renming have observed, and the people in the middle of the village are naturally the richest.
A village, especially one that has formed a fixed situation, has traces in many aspects in the eyes of hundreds of students.
Xu An and Wen Renming glanced at each other, the child called Hyacinth just now, the meaning revealed in his words was not simple, there must be unimaginable things happening in this village, but this group of adults may not say much.
"Two nobles, I don't know where they come from?"
The middle-aged man who looked rich in the lead arched his hand and said with a respectful attitude.
"We are hundreds of students, traveling all over the world, passing through here, seeing that the sky is dark, I want to rest in the village for the night, and set off tomorrow to Tianmen Pass. ”
"Hundred students, are they literati?"
"Sort of. Xu An and Wen Renming's brows tightened even more, the way of these hundred schools of thought was widely spread, even before, there were hundreds of different schools of theory and cultivation of the Tao, but the supernatural powers were not obvious.
And in the past 20 years, especially the death of Emperor Ming, it has opened the prelude to the dispute between a hundred schools, and the world, even the corners of the pimple should have heard of it.
A child didn't understand the meaning of the representative of the hundred schools, and even the head of a village knew the same.
The rich middle-aged man continued: "If the two scribes are willing to stay in the village for one night, it is naturally good, but the village is simple and neglectful, please forgive the two of you." ”
"Yes, my senior brothers and sisters are not people who can't endure hardships. Xu An nodded and thanked him.
"Then please. The rich middle-aged man has not changed his tone at all until now, and he is very calm.
As for the strong man behind him, he was still coming with momentum just now, and at this moment he also returned to his lazy appearance, nodded at the rich middle-aged, and scattered away.
"The courtyard here has long been deserted, but it can shelter from the wind and rain, and there are some bedding in it, the two of them can take it by themselves, if there is still a request, the largest black tile house in the village is my house, you can come and ask." The rich middle-aged man personally took Xu An and the two of them, "If not, the two of them have already seen that it is almost night, so it is best to rest at home and not walk around the village." ”
The rich middle-aged man casually admonished, and seemed to have some lack of interest, so he left in a hurry.
"It's the second time, there must be something going on in this village at night. ”
Xu An said solemnly to Wen Renming under the candle flame.
