Li Jian, the village chief, and Lang Zhong entered the martial arts hall and surrounded Xu Xi, as if they were looking at rare treasures, reaching out to touch but not daring to touch them. The children watched silently, their little eyes wide open, their eyes full of doubts, and their little heads tilted.

"Ahem!" The hall owner Li Jian coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and the village chief and Lang Zhong also pretended to have serious expressions, but they still looked at Xu Xi from time to time.

For these children who get along day and night, Li Jian really likes it: "I have something to do today, you all go home first, and come to exercise early tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Master!"

The children dispersed, but Li Yi was left behind.

After the children dispersed, Li Jian led everyone into the living room in the backyard. Li Jian, the village chief, and Lang Zhong were seated, and Xu Xi and Li Yi stood at the bottom.

After a short silence, Li Jian, the owner of the pavilion, took the lead in opening his mouth: "Xu Xi, you tell the truth, you really recruited the mirror book spirit and accepted it as your own cave king?" ”

"Absolutely."

The three of them looked at each other, as if they were relieved, and as if there was something unspeakable.

The village chief stood up: "If you don't mind, I want to check it out!" ”

"Of course I don't mind!"

The village chief touched Xu Xi's character's head for a long time, then pushed it away and nodded: "There is indeed a cave king in the Purple Mansion, which is a mirror book spirit, not an ordinary book spirit." ”

Li Jian and Lang Zhong were suddenly excited, and the three of them exchanged their heads for a while and sat down again.

The village chief took a long time: "I won't hide it from you now, we let you become a naturalized citizen in the first place so that you can save our village." You are very talented and extraordinary, so after we discussed it, we decided to give you two choices, and it is up to you to decide which path to take. ”

"Please!"

"One is that according to our previous arrangement, you join the army. The second is to stay in the village, as my successor, and after you grow up, inherit my position as the village chief, and you will protect the village. ”

Listening to what you mean, it's obvious that I'm going to choose the second option, but this might be a good opportunity to get a sense of the game's background. The company is also a pit, and almost no information about this game is revealed.

"Can the village chief explain in detail about joining the army?"

The village chief explained quietly: "For example, if there are bandits everywhere today, in order to eliminate the bandits and suppress the rebellion, the government has apportioned the number of strong men to each village, and each village needs to provide at least one percent of the total number of strong men to fill the barracks to enrich the army, and our village has three quotas." However, the road to the army is not easy to walk, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and I don't know when I will lose my life. ”

This explanation seems reasonable, but there are still some questions that cannot be answered: "In this case, then just arrange a few displaced people, why do you cultivate me and Lu Yiming so vigorously, and teach us the method of cohesion?" ”

"People's hearts are flesh and blood, this is dangerous, it is not what I want, it is really forced by the situation, we must always give people a glimmer of life, and we can't let people give their lives in vain."

Xu Xi didn't believe such an answer, but since the village chief didn't want to say it, he couldn't force it.

"Please tell me more about this second way."

"This second way is a little better than the first way, first of all, there is no need to go to the battlefield to fight, and there is generally no fear of life. Secondly, you can get the cultivation of our village, so that your strength can be taken to a higher level. In the end, there are naturally rights to obligations, and your life will be better than that of ordinary people. For this choice, the village chief only said that it was good.

These two are obviously not good choices, joining the army and entering the barracks, where will there be freedom, the position of several village heads, trapped in the village, also has no freedom. And as a player or a part-time player, the company wants to go wherever it wants, how can there be no freedom. As for reporting his situation to the company, it is not impossible to apply for special treatment, if it is an ordinary player, it is completely possible to do so, but Xu Xi can't, first, he can't attract the attention of others, this is a matter of life; Second, this game is extraordinary, and he can't trust the company.

"Village Chief, if I choose the second path, will I have to stay in the village all the time and not go out?"

Shaking his head, the village chief said: "This is to invite you to succeed the village chief, not to imprison you, how can it be possible to restrict you from going out, it's just that you need to participate in a ceremony." ”

Free is the most expensive, and no limit is the biggest limit. But it seems that he has no choice: "Please make it clear to the village chief." ”

"Rite of Destiny Bondage!"

Bound to your fate? Sure enough, no restriction is the biggest restriction, what is the body under house arrest, people directly restrain your life and luck, this consciousness is very high when you hear it, and I don't know what the hell it is.

Without waiting for Xu Xi to ask, the village chief explained: "This is a ritual that has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. This life-binding ceremony, bind your life, from now on your life is related to the village, once the village is removed, you will also die soon. It is your luck that binds you, and if the village is strong, your luck is high, and the nobles will help you when you go out. If the village is weak, your luck is low, and it is difficult for you to avoid villains at home. Once the ceremony is held, you will be closely related to the village for the rest of your life. ”

Li Jiandao: "All three of us have held this ceremony! Saying that, he looked at Li Yi: "Li Yi's grandfather is the same, Li Yi is favored by my village, and he must succeed his grandfather's position, and he also needs to hold a life-binding ceremony." ”

The three of them stopped talking, did not persuade Xu Xi to take which way, just waited for his answer.

Joining the army will definitely not work, it is impossible to run away after joining the army, if you are wanted by the government, it is estimated that the company is not easy to explain here. As for the second road, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a fire pit, a fire pit with raging flames.

Pinching his chin lightly, Xu Xi, who was thinking deeply, suddenly thought of a point, he is reflected in time and space, so can he learn this ritual and crack this ritual? Speaking of this, Xu Xi immediately remembered his prompt when he used his skills on the Immortal Honey Poison Bee, maybe he could really improve his skills.

Although I have an intention, the stakes are very high, and I need to be cautious in my decision: "Master, village head, and senior Langzhong, this matter is very important, can you allow me to think carefully before making a decision?" ”

"Yes, but you'll have to answer me by sunset tomorrow." The village chief set a deadline.

"Good!"

The three left, but Li Yi stayed.

"Brother, do you want to leave the village?"

"Manly man, how can I be trapped in the land of projectiles, my goal is the sea of stars." Well, the other party who said the stars and the sea or something, an NPC of an ancient game, couldn't understand it! Deleted the sea of stars, entered the world and sent it out.

Li Yi, the little boy, suddenly ignited: "Okay, my brother is really a husband, since my brother has this ambition, my little brother is willing to help!" ”

"Actually, the elder brother can choose the second path, which is extremely beneficial to the elder brother's growth."

"How?"

"The younger brother has never been out of the village, and his knowledge is shallow, but he is still a little foolish. Master summoned us to the martial arts hall to cultivate carefully, hoping that we could become Dingshi and carry the Dingshi of the Thirteen States, and all Dingshi must be bound to their lives! It seems that those who are officials and officials must be bound by their lives! So, it's not a bad thing to tie your fortune. ”

Having said that, being tied down is not a pleasant thing after all.

"Brother, have you figured out what to choose?"

"I've thought about it, I'm ......"
