In front of me was a huge village, surrounded by towering mountain peaks, and this village was located in the middle of this peak, forming a natural barrier.

This is a village, but only because the houses and buildings here are very simple wooden buildings, but there are not many people.

As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of wooden houses, and the population is at least in the tens of thousands.

"King Xiao, this is our village, please. ”

Xiao Tianye followed Mu Xuelan's footsteps and walked in the village.

Along the way, there were many people who greeted Mu Xuelan, and after learning from Mu Xuelan that Xiao Tianye was the person who could save the Holy Maiden in the mouth of the great wizard, they all bent down and saluted.

After a while, the two came to a house, which was slightly larger than the others.

Mu Xuelan said that this is a place where you will only live when you receive distinguished guests, and no one lives there on weekdays.

"King Xiao, please wait here for a while, and I'll go and invite the Great Wizard and the Village Chief. ”

"Go ahead. ”

Xiao Tianye knew that these villages with a long history would definitely have their own rules and some beliefs, so he was not in a hurry, after all, it should be them who were in a hurry now.

After all, she is their holy daughter, and her faith is in danger.

Xiao Tianye came here to get the Heart Protector Jade, which would be used to protect Xiao Yue at that time.

Mu Xuelan is right, there may be many enemies of Xiao Tianye in the future, even if he slowly has his own power in the future, there are many people who are willing to be loyal to Xiao Tianye, but there may always be places that cannot be taken into account, and there are no absolutes in everything.

So if you can have a guarantee, Xiao Tianye will feel much more at ease.

After a while, Mu Xuelan returned to the house, followed by a middle-aged man and an old man.

It seems that it should be the great wizard and village chief in Mu Xuelan's mouth.

"King Xiao, this is our village chief and great wizard, this is King Xiao, Xiao Tianye. ”

"King Xiao, please take a seat. ”

"Village chief, please. ”

Several people also sat down directly, and Xiao Tianye said: "I really want to know why you can be sure that I can save your holy daughter since you have never seen me." ”

The Great Wizard said, "I invited the ancestors to come down and used divination, so I can be sure that King Xiao is that person." ”

The great wizard said with a blank look, but he didn't say a single reason, but he just thought that Xiao Tianye was that person.

Mu Xuelan explained: "King Xiao, because they rarely go to the world, they don't know how to speak. In fact, it was the great wizard who learned that on the side of Yuetian Province, there was a flash of golden light, saying that there was a real dragon that came out, and the one who could save our saintess was the most powerful person over there, so I found King Xiao. ”

"I see. ”

As soon as Mu Xuelan said this, Xiao Tianye understood, and Xiao Tianye also knew, they seemed to be particularly convinced of the results of these divinations, and they felt that Xiao Tianye must be a saint who could save them.

Xiao Tianye said: "What about you saints, when are you ready to start?" ”

After all, Xiao Tianye doesn't want to waste any time, it's best to be able to get it done as soon as possible.

The village chief said, "King Xiao, we have prepared medicinal materials here, and you can start refining them at any time." But before that, I also ask King Xiao to take a look at our holy daughter, wash her body with the holy pool, and then start refining. ”

"Okay, take me there. ”

Xiao Tianye didn't care, he knew that these places must have some rules of their own, which Xiao Tianye could respect them, after all, it didn't have any impact on himself.

"Please. ”

Just after the four of them walked out of the house, they saw a group of burly men with dark skin and wearing clothes similar to rattan armor, appear in front of the four of them, blocking their way.

"Village chief, are you going to take outsiders to see the Holy Maiden, I don't agree!"

A burly man led by him spoke, a pair of bright eyes kept staring at Xiao Tianye, as if he had some deep hatred, extremely repulsing Xiao Tianye's arrival.

The village chief said: "Yu Shi, this matter has already been decided, and the great wizard has already carried out divination, do you have any other objections?" ”

"Village chief, who knows if this person can save the Holy Maiden, if it fails, then what should it be. I don't think outsiders can be trusted, and you can't rely on outsiders for such a big thing, who knows if he has a good heart. ”

"Yes, village chief, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and you can't take risks. ”

"That's right, Brother Xian is right. ”

The villagers behind Xian Yushi were also clearly on his side, agreeing with his statement.

Mu Xuelan said: "Xian Yushi, what do you mean, King Xiao came all the way here to help, you don't know how to be grateful, how can you be so rude." ”

"Mu Xuelan, don't pretend to be a good person here, are you having an affair with this man, or are you in love with this man, do you help him talk like this, regardless of the life or death of the saint!"

Xian Yushi did not show weakness, and said-for-tat.

"Xian Yushi, don't think I don't know you, you have coveted the Holy Maiden for a long time, you want to save the Holy Maiden yourself, get the love of the Holy Maiden, and want to become the next village chief, but unfortunately, you don't have this ability!"

It seemed to be said by Mu Xuelan, which made Xian Yushi even more angry, and said sharply: "Mu Xuelan, don't talk nonsense here, you help outsiders talk so much, so that people wonder if you are suspected of betraying the village." ”

"What did you say!"

The village chief said: "Okay, don't talk about it, it's already a matter that has been decided, it's useless to talk about it, Xue Lan, Yu Shi, you can step down." ”

"Yes. ”

The village chief spoke, and Mu Xuelan naturally didn't say much.

But Xian Yushi didn't have any intention of leaving, he still stood in front of him, and said even more arrogantly: "Village Chief, I ask for the election of the whole village, I think this matter is too important, let's listen to everyone's opinions and vote, what do you say?" ”

"Xian Yushi, you are crazy, at this time to vote in the election, do you want to kill the Holy Maiden. ”

"The Holy Maiden has her own blessing, and it is much better than letting an outsider do it. ”

Mu Xuelan said: "The village elder... I can't agree to this, the life of the saint is very important. ”

The village chief also sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "This is the rule of the village, Xue Lan." For such an important matter, the Dharma Protector has the right to vote for the whole village, and I can't say it in a word. ”。

This is the rule of the Jingchu tribe, when encountering major matters, the village chief does not have the right to make decisions, and must follow the opinions of most people in the village to decide.

The village chief said, "Tell everyone to assemble in front of the idol and prepare for the vote." ”
