With the dull sound of the bell on the Star Peak of Spirit Sword Mountain, the Spirit Sword Sect's new introductory disciple training activity once every few decades officially began.

All the disciples below the foundation building period were kicked down the mountain by the elders, and no matter what the special reason, whether they were unwell or in the critical period of retreat, they were treated equally. Moreover, the elders simply put a seal on the disciple's bedroom, leaving no way back.

The disciples were either excited, eager to try, or at a loss, but all in all, in the next year, they would have to be self-reliant.

Most people have done their homework in the month of preparation before the event, although Cangxi Prefecture is only one of the nine states, and it is a relatively remote and poor state, but compared to a group of small cultivators in the Qi cultivation period, it can still be described as vast and boundless, among which there are hundreds of large and small mortal countries, among which the larger ones are like Gu Yongguo, with a population of nearly 100 million, accounting for one-twentieth of a state, and the smaller ones such as Baiyue Country also have as many as one million people. As for the number of monks, it is about 1,000 to 1 to 1 with mortals, of course, most of them are inorganic monks, and the ratio of pure organic monks will be 1 in 10,000, which is not bad.

For these newcomers who have just entered the Immortal Dao, there are still countless wonderful things in the mortal world, and they will only be dazzled after going down the mountain.

However, the senior brothers and elders of the Spirit Sword Sect's Tiance Hall served humanely, and made a training guide manual for each new disciple, not only displaying some common sense that should be possessed by the experience, but also drawing a guide map, listing the recommended places to go to the experience: such as the White Moon Country where friction broke out with the Shengjing Immortal Gate some time ago, and the Desert Country where it was rumored that a magic weapon was born recently...... They are all places where the wind and clouds meet, but because things are not big, it is difficult to attract high-level monks to go, which is suitable for newcomers to experience.

A year is not a short time, but it is not a short time, but when you really experience it, you can count the time to go back and forth, that is, to go to two or three places and deal with two or three things...... However, there are thousands of locations on the guide map, which is simply dizzying.

Most of the disciples attached great importance to this map, and they spent less than half of the month using the unanalyzed map to choose the location...... Because after a year, in addition to the progress of their respective cultivations, the results of the experience are measured, which is the experience report of how to look at it, and the score of the report is that the people of Tiance Hall have not scored, so who dares not to pay attention to the guide manual produced by Tian Ce Hall?

Wang Lu dared.

On the day of going down the mountain, Wang Lu threw the map aside, single-handedly, and went straight to Wangjia Village in the northeast corner of Dog Er Mountain, Wuhou County, the host of the Ming Kingdom.

Of course, the kind of poor countryside of Wangjia Village can never be listed on the map, and thousands of suggested locations seem to be a lot, but if you put it in the entire Cangxi Prefecture, it will suddenly be in the sea, and Wangjia Village is not qualified enough. In this regard, Wang Lu can only say that the waste wood in Tiance Hall is simply eyeless, and Wangjia Village is the former residence of Wang Lu, the ethereal root, okay!? Tickets are required for future viewings. The richest man in Wangjia Village, Mr. Wang, is worth millions, and in the future, the real estate of Wangjia Village will appreciate and be renamed Wang 10 million, and Wang Yiwan is no problem, so he should be respected, okay!?

Tiancetang is blind, he can't be blind, the time is only a short year, he can do anything at any time, the opportunity to return home is rare, and it is enough to report to the gods as long as he uses his imagination!

And the way home, Wang Lu was full of emotion in his heart, two and a half years ago, a mountain village savage with inexplicable confidence and thousands of taels of silver tickets bravely entered Lingjian Mountain, two and a half years have passed, a bright new star in the world of cultivating immortals is rising, how fast the change is! Although the current cultivation is not high, and the path of cultivating immortals has just begun, if you don't mention the nine-fold seal, the Spirit Sword Sect has a number of valuable challenge points, and when it comes to wealth, it is not inferior to the ordinary Jindan disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, and at the same time, as a true disciple of the Five Peerless Ten Thousand Immortals League, the future is already bright, and this time going home can be described as a return to the hometown!

The only regret is ...... Two and a half years ago, there were two people who walked up Lingjian Mountain along this road, but when they went back, Wang Lu was the only one, and Wang Zhong's kid didn't know what to think, he would rather run to be with Zhu Qin and the others than go home with Wang Lu to see, as if he was an awkward little daughter-in-law...... But it does save a lot of trouble. Although he has been sending letters to his family for the past two years, he has already explained the situation, but it is obviously very difficult to let Mr. Wang, who has been diligent and low-key and pragmatic all his life, accept that the little scholar in the family has also embarked on the immortal road. After meeting, both of them were uncomfortable, so it was better not to see each other.

Excluding this problem, Wang Lu is too much looking forward to returning to his hometown this time, he has not seen his parents for more than two years, even professional adventurers can't help but miss it, and a wave of eagerness rises in his heart. Different from the thinking of other immortal cultivators, Wang Lu didn't think about the different paths of immortals at all, the question of life and death, parents are parents, why do you need to consider whether they are mortals or monks? Even if this father and mother were brought to him by the magical comet, they are more like adoptive fathers and adoptive mothers, but how can more than ten years of parenting thoughts be false? Mr. Wang and Mrs. Sui Shi are both the kind of simple and honest, and there is no lack of wisdom in life.

I think of my father's exhaustive calculations for a few hundred taels of silver when I was a child, and I think of my mother's all-night busy in the kitchen during the Chinese New Year, making New Year's goods for the tenants at home, although it is only a trivial detail in life, it is also a special taste.

As for the question of the different paths of immortals...... Now that I am only fifteen years old, although my parents are mortals, they are healthy, and they have at least thirty years to live, not to mention taking some elixirs from Lingjian Mountain at will, and it is not difficult to prolong the life of mortals by one or two hundred, but too long a life may not be good for mortals. In short, there is no need to get into trouble for what will happen in a few decades.

In addition, although Wangjia Village is only a remote mountain village, it is the hometown where it has lived for more than ten years, hundreds of families in the village, each of which can be named by Wang Lu, such as Wang Dafu, who regards his father as an old enemy and is bound to surpass in wealth, but has never been able to achieve his wish...... Among the hundreds of millions of people in the Kyushu mainland, they are just ordinary members, but in Wang Lu's life for more than ten years, they all play an important role.

The first twelve years of life were simple and simple, as a professional adventurer should be bored, in fact, when Wang Lu left his hometown two and a half years ago to go to Lingjian Mountain, he did have a sense of happiness to get rid of the cage, but after two years of monk life, he inevitably missed the comfortable and simple Wangjia Village

This is how after getting used to playing with the royal sister, it is inevitable that you will yearn for Luo Yili.

Thinking all the way, Wang Lu's footsteps were amazingly fast, and he first walked from Wangjia Village to Wuhou County for two days, and it took ten days to reach the foot of Lingjian Mountain by taking the cart in the county, which was still thanks to the fact that the Ming Kingdom was not far from Lingjian Mountain. On his way home, Wang Lu hiked the whole way, day and night, and it took less than three days to see the familiar outline of Dog Ear Mountain.

This is the benefit of being a monk, even if it is only a trivial Qi cultivation seven grades in the Spirit Sword Sect, and he is not known for his body method, but he is still a top martial arts master in the mortal world, and his actions are faster than those of a galloping horse.

Just walked to the foot of Dog Ear Mountain, but Wang Lu couldn't help but stop his steps.

What happens next? As the first meeting after two and a half years away from home, what kind of attitude should I have in front of the villagers?

High up, putting on the posture of the immortal monks, like the emperor going out on patrol? Or is it approachable and cordially greeting every villager along the way? This is not a question of vanity or not, but involves a lot of practical factors, and Wang Lu, as a monk with high emotional intelligence, cannot but make plans early.

However, before he could think about the answer, what he saw in front of him made him frown deeply.

The changes in the aura of heaven and earth are somewhat abnormal...... With an ethereal spiritual root, Wang Lu's keen sense of the aura of heaven and earth far surpassed that of ordinary monks, so during the two years of cultivating in the sect, he learned a side skill in his spare time: the art of looking at qi.

There are many factors that affect the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, and the behavior of living beings accounts for the vast majority, especially human beings...... Where there are people, the changes in the aura of heaven and earth are far more drastic and complex than those in no man's land. A very important part of the so-called Qi Hope Technique is to explain how to pass through the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, without extrapolating what happened in the local area.

More than two years ago, Wangjia Village, like most of the remote mountain villages on the mainland of Kyushu, had an active aura of heaven and earth but not jī fierce, like a small jasper, with an undescribed color, about pale green. However, what catches your eye now is dyed with a withered yellow color. For a more detailed analysis, Wang Lu has not been able to observe it even if he is limited to cultivation, but he can make a preliminary judgment based on this piece of withered yellow alone.

There are many possibilities, one is that there is a severe drought for many years, and the vitality is withered, but looking at the green and shady scene of Dog Ear Mountain, it is not like it!

Or an important person in the village died, but in the case of Wangjia Village, even if the village chief or the richest man Wang died, it would not affect the change of the breath of a mountain so drastically.

The last one is that demons are raging and evil.

Thinking of this, Wang Lu didn't care about any practical issues, quickened his pace, and went straight into the mountain at a gallop.

Crossing the highest peak of Dog Ear Mountain, Wang Lu finally saw Wangjia Village again, the village has not changed much from two and a half years ago, with today's amazing vision, Wang Lu can clearly see the smiles of those busy farmers in the farmland, hard and happy, and can also see the women who reprimand the naughty children, looking angry but spoiled...... But the withered yellow gas that fills it is solemn and difficult to let go.

After looking at the top of the mountain for a while, he still didn't know the essentials, Wang Lu thought about it, or go directly to ask his father, it's not Longtan Tiger's Den, a dignified immortal monk, why be afraid?

So he didn't care about what the shelves were not shelf, with the color of the wind and dust running day and night, Wang Lu walked into Wangjia Village, and went straight to the spacious house in the east of the village, which was his own home.

It's just strange that the villagers he met along the way all looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were watching a rare beast on the verge of extinction, with a hint of pity in their curiosity. Even when greeting him, he seemed hesitant. Wang Lu greeted him warmly several times, but all he did was embarrassed or even cold feedback.

Damn it, what are you doing here? Wang Lu's brows furrowed more and more, and he felt that the changes in the village seemed to be more tricky than he imagined, and he had been sending letters home all these years, although he had not received a reply for some reason, but at least the villagers should know about the status of their immortal monks...... At the beginning, Wang Xiaohu's idiot reported hundreds of thousands of silver to his father to a ninth-rate organization called Qixingmen, which made the villagers envious. As for the faint hostility, it is even more inexplicable.

Hostile to a powerful monk who can level an entire mountain village in half a day? Is this maggots growing in your head?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a person next to me greet me.

"This, isn't this the child of Wang Fugui's family?"

Wang Fugui is the name of Wang Lu's father, but since he became the richest man in the village and had dealings with the officials of the county, he was respectfully called Master Wang, but few people mentioned his real name, and even the second richest Wang Dafu next door has to be honored with a sentence of Brother Wang...... And there is only one person in the village who is so named.

The old village chief of Wangjia Village, Wang Qinian.

Wang Lu turned his head, and sure enough, it was the old man with a white beard and kind eyebrows. In the impression of the young man, this old village chief is an out-and-out good man, with a wide personality, and no lack of wisdom, and is an elder worthy of respect......

"Well, I haven't had a good time."

The old man sighed and beckoned to Wang Lu, who followed with a stomach full of doubts, and arrived at the village chief's house in a short time.

"Come in and sit."

sat down in the room, and before Wang Lu could speak, the village chief patted Wang Lu's head lovingly.

"I haven't seen you for more than two years, but I've grown up."

Listening to this sentiment full of kindness, Wang Lu smiled: "Adolescence." ”

"I've been out for more than two years...... Hard, huh? ”

"It's okay, it's not too hard."

"That's good, that's good......" Wang Qinian nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed again, "In the past few years, a lot of things have happened in the village. ”

Realizing that the topic might be about to get to the point, Wang Lu leaned forward a little, and his expression became serious: "It can be seen that there are evil people rampant here."

In Wang Lu's view, this sentence is a stepping stone, although it is a little jī advanced, but with his relationship with the old village chief, it is nothing, and the village chief recruited him into his home to discuss the changes in the village. And if he is a dignified immortal monk, if he does not go around the topic, but he falls into his own position, it is better to get straight to the point.

However, this sentence made Wang Qinian's expression change greatly: "You, how dare you say such things!?" If the gods heard it, what would it be!? ”

Wang Lu was shocked on the spot: "Where is the immortal?" Not to mention that after experiencing an era of the end of the Dharma more than 6,000 years ago, there has never been a true ascendant...... Even in the Dream Age, the existence of the fairy world was just a legend. ”

Wang Qinian shook his head: "I don't know what you said about the end of the law era, but ...... Alas, it really made Xiaohu's kid right, you have been deceived too deeply for more than two years! ”

No way? What kind of god is this? Who is Wang Xiaohu? Where do you start when you are deceived? Could it be that he was cheated by a humanoid self-propelled festival gymnastics dropped device named Wang Wu in Lingjian Mountain? Question: How do you old village chief know about the things on the Lingjian Mountain!? I really didn't say anything about the master when I sent a letter to my home, I never talked about it behind my back, I sprayed it in my face!?
