Chapter 29: The Lord of a Village

After the barking of dogs, two rows of torches were raised on both sides of the road leading to the village. The flames were blazing in the sky, as if they were going to illuminate the heavens and the earth.

In the flickering firelight, I saw two rows of men in robes, lined up on both sides.

Xue Congliang suddenly woke up at this time, it turned out that these people were here to greet him.

"Welcome back to the village!" These people were very excited, as if they had seen relatives who had been separated for many days.

Xue Congliang didn't know what to do, he waved to everyone a little confused: "Hello seniors! ”

Under the leadership of Dumb and accompanied by Xue Ye, Xue Congliang followed everyone and poured into a courtyard together, which was the place where the whole village held meetings. Surrounded by low earthen walls, Xue Congliang saw a row of houses sitting on the north side of the courtyard, illuminated by the light of torches.

Several women were busy in the house, some were lighting a fire, someone was cooking, and the air in the yard was filled with the smell of boiled meat.

Xue Congliang saw a big pot in the courtyard, and the big pot boiled a pot of meat, which was fragrant. He asked Xue Ye: "Xue Ye, what is this for?" Are we going to have a big meal here? ”

"Master Xuezhuang, you don't know what to do, this is our Xue Zhuang, the etiquette of receiving VIPs, as long as there are distinguished guests here, the people in the village will kill pigs and sheep to entertain guests." Xue Ye said.

"So, I'm still such a distinguished guest?" Xue Congliang couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's a distinguished guest indeed. Master Xue Zhuang has only come back once after many years, and he is the most honored guest. We've been looking forward to it for years. Xue Ye said.

"Do they know who I am? Actually, I'm not the real owner of Xue Zhuang, I'm just Doctor Xue. You must tell them so that there is no misunderstanding. Xue Congliang said.

"This, in fact, everyone already knows the Tao. As long as he is the owner of the Five Elements Artifact, he is the owner of Xue Zhuang. Although you have been reincarnated more than ten times, you are still the owner of the Five Elements Artifact, so you are still the master of Xue Zhuang. Xue Ye said.

"However, the treasure book to find the Five Elements Artifact has now been lost, and the Five Elements Artifact cannot be found." Xue Congliang said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's yours, no one else will ever get it. Sooner or later, we will still be able to find the treasure book. It's not too late to retrieve the artifact. Xue Ye was calm.

"You have a treasure book and a map, why don't you just retrieve the artifact, but wait for me to retrieve the artifact?" Xue Congliang asked with some confusion.

"That's a good question. In fact, every item has its own owner, and even if we have a map, we can't retrieve this Five Elements artifact. Xue Ye said.

While he was talking, the food and wine were served.

Xue Congliang saw that the delicate ancient porcelain was filled with mellow wine and delicious food, and it slowly filled the somewhat old solid wood table.

Everything here looks extremely simple, as if it has gone through a long time.

"Please take a seat." Dumb stretched out his right hand and made a guiding pose.

"What's so embarrassing about that? Xue Ye is seated, you are the oldest here. Xue Congliang said with some embarrassment.

"No, no, when Lord Xue Zhuang was young, he was sitting on the top seat, how dare we sit on the top seat?" Xue Ye was a little modest.

"Where is the Xue Zhuang master you are talking about now, why haven't you seen him?" Xue Congliang asked.

"At this time period, Master Xue Zhuang is no longer alive." Xue Ye said with some shame.

"Ah, no longer alive? Didn't you find a way to travel through time? Why didn't you get him back? Xue Congliang asked.

"Actually, you are the twelfth generation of Lord Xue Zhuang, although you have been reincarnated so many times, your appearance has not changed." Xue Ye sighed.

When Xue Congliang heard this, his heart calmed down a little, the reason why everyone called him the owner of the village was not only because his appearance was similar to the owner, but more importantly, he was actually the incarnation of the owner of the village after being reincarnated many times.

Let's say this, let Xue Congliang slowly establish self-confidence in his heart, as if he is really the owner of Xue Zhuang, and he came here to help the villagers of Xue Zhuang and change their fate.

"Everything in the past, let it pass, since fate has let you come back, it means that at this time, an arrangement of the soul of Xue Zhuang should not be extinguished by our Xue Zhuang." Xue Ye said.

"Yes, everything in the past, it's gone. But am I not going back to the old days now? Everything in the past is not in the past! Xue Congliang said.

"Let me tell you this, the present you have returned to is only a part of time, the soul of Xue Zhuang, deliberately let this history reappear, Xue Zhuang has developed to the present, facing the impending disaster, the soul of Xue Zhuang, in order to save Xue Zhuang, specially arranged this meeting, we are actually just a small wave in the development of history, but it is changing history." Xue Ye said it righteously and strictly.

But Xue Congliang listened, confused, and really couldn't understand what was going on.

"Actually, let's explain it this way, in order to save Xue Zhuang, there must be a person who goes back to the past, and then, retrieves the Five Elements Artifact, eradicates the aliens, drives away the evil demons, and then uses the Five Elements Artifact to save the people of Limin. And this Five Elements Artifact is linked to the past and the future, so you have to find the Five Elements Artifact through this method. Xue Ye said.

"Oh, I'm actually the one who can save Xue Zhuang in reality, the soul of Xue Zhuang pinned his hopes on me, and at the same time, in order for me to find the tools to save Xue Zhuang, I opened the door of this time, let me come back, and with your assistance, find what I need." Xue Congliang smoothed it out.

This can be understood, but the actual situation is much more complicated. If you want to figure it out, you will slowly figure it out in your future experience, and these are not things that can be said in one sentence or two. Anyway, you know that this is your most primitive hometown. Xue Ye explained.

"Come, drink, there is wine today and drunk today, I will first give a glass to Lord Xue." Dumb raised his wine glass and invited Xue Congliang to drink together.

Xue Congliang was a little ashamed, he was pushed to the position of the owner of the village today, and he was really helpless. Since everyone regards me as the owner of the village, let's make it difficult and be this time.

Xue Congliang suddenly strengthened his will, and finally regarded himself as the master of a village from his heart:

"Come, thanks to everyone's love, since I am now sitting in the position of the owner, then I will be the owner of the village, no matter what the reason, no matter how difficult it will be, since I Xue Congliang is a man, I should bear all this. Cheers! ”

Xue Congliang raised his glass and drank it all.

This wine is completely different from the kind of alcohol blended in the real society, after the entrance, it is soft and long, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, and it is really a first-class wine.

Xue Congliang, who never drank alcohol, suddenly fell in love with this intoxicating wine.

This is why the ancients liked to drink alcohol, some people say that wine is the essence of grain, and a glass of wine is worth ten catties of grain. In ancient times, people advised VIPs to drink more, in fact, to give the most beautiful and nutritious wine to the most distinguished guests.

Unlike now, wine was actually a poison, made entirely of alcohol. Where can you find a grain of grain in it?

After three glasses of wine, Xue Congliang felt a little dizzy, but the taste of wine between his lips and teeth was still charming.

However, Xue Cong's conscience said that he couldn't drink anymore, and if he drank again, he would definitely be drunk.

I don't know what time it is, but I saw the moon hanging on the branches overhead. Xue Congliang got up from his seat, looked at the incomparably familiar moon, and suddenly thought of the small bed in real life.

Usually at this time, it was when Xue Congliang was dreaming in bed, and now all this is like a dream.

"Master Xue, let's help you go back to sleep!" In a daze, Xue Congliang heard Dumb say on the side.

"Okay, let's go back to sleep." Xue Congliang said.

This compound is some distance from where Xue Xue Congliang lives. They walked west along an east-west road in the village.

Pushing open the door, Xue Congliang saw that in his room, there was a beautiful woman waiting in the bed, Xue Congliang was a little panicked, what was going on......
