Chapter 14: The Mountain Village of Refugees
After leaving Shuijing Village, Wangu traveled westward, looking for a paradise suitable for him to live in seclusion.
At this time, it was the last peaceful days of the Qin Dynasty.
It's just that Wangu has come along the way, and the road is still not smooth. Whether it is corrupt officials or robbers and bandits, they are all emerging in an endless stream.
Therefore, along the way, whenever Wangu encounters this kind of dog official or villain, it is almost very straightforward.
All the way to the west, he really didn't know how many corrupt officials and landlords and bullies he had killed. It also saved people who don't know how much suffering.
Of course, this is just a matter of doing it, the most important thing for him is to find a good place where he can practice in retreat quietly, and break through to the Martial Dao Yuan God Realm as soon as possible.
The pressure on him from the existence of the Beiyan Mountain people was too great, and fortunately, the Beiyan Mountain people didn't seem to want to kill him, otherwise Wan Gu was not sure if he would be able to escape.
During the Qin Dynasty, the population gathering place was mainly in the north, that is, near the Yellow River in later generations, so the population in the south where Wangu was located was very small, and there were not many county seats, most of them were wilderness mountains and forests, miasma was pervasive, and poisonous insects were everywhere.
Along the way, Bangu found several nice places that were not only beautiful in terms of scenery, but also had a mild climate that was perfect for seclusion.
However, Wangu was more picky and decided to find a place with sparse population and abundant spiritual energy, so that his cultivation speed could also be faster.
No, all the way down, he came to Qianzhong County in the southwest region, which was later Hunan Province.
After feeling the concentration of spiritual energy in this area, Wangu found a spacious cave on Wudang Mountain and decided to settle down.
Because he found that the concentration of aura here was about twice as high as that of other places, which was a very good place.
It's still not as good as the real world, but it's not bad.
Wan Gu came to the entrance of the cave, stood in place and thought for a while, then waved his hand and carved three big characters "Immortal Cave" on the entrance of the cave.
"I'll cultivate here from now on."
After Wan Gu nodded with satisfaction, he then walked into the Immortal Cave and began to arrange the cave, it took him an hour, he finally got everything done, and then he calmed down and cultivated.
For him, cultivating to the Martial Dao Yuan God as soon as possible is his current majority.
………………………………
Under Wudang Mountain! From the woods!
A group of disorganized villagers, men and women, old and young, fled and the young men were in the majority, a total of a hundred.
A young man came up to an old man and said, "How long will it take to reach the cave you are talking about, chief?" ”
"It's not far away, it's just up there, that cave was discovered when I was a child, and it's not a problem for the whole village to live." , the old man said.
They were originally villagers in a dilapidated mountain village at the foot of Wudang Mountain, and this village was really dilapidated, so dilapidated that it didn't even have a name.
They only knew that the people in the government called them Chu Man, and they didn't know anything else.
There are only a few hundred people in the whole village, and the places where they live are all rammed-earth thatched huts, which are dilapidated and can barely shelter from the wind and rain, and there is not even a slightly decent brick house.
Unfortunately, this year also saw floods and a rare famine. What's even more unfortunate is that this year, the government will select most of the young migrant workers from their village to build the Qinling Underground Palace, that is, the Heavenly Palace.
You must know that their village has already suffered from famine, many old and young people have starved to death, and most of the rest are young and middle-aged, if even the last young and middle-aged people have been taken away, and there is no last labor force, then their village will basically be destroyed.
The people in the village were powerless to resist and couldn't survive, so they decided to hide in the mountains, fall into the grass, and wait for the wind to pass before going out of the mountains.
After all, although there are many wild beasts in the mountains, it also means that the abundance of food can give them a source of food and prevent them from starving to death.
A group of people walked over the mountains for two days before they arrived at what they called the cave.
It's just that as soon as they saw the words on the cave, they didn't make up their minds, not that they knew these three words, but they didn't expect that there were signs of activity here.
At this time, a man in the prime of life said: "Village chief, what do you think the above three words are?" ”
Most of the people in the village had never read a book and didn't recognize them at all.
"Immortal Cave!" , the village chief has read a little book and recognizes these three words.
"Wow!"
As soon as the village chief's voice fell, the whole crowd was not calm, what did they hear?
Fairy Cave?
Could it be that this is the blessed land where the gods live?
At this moment, the real crowd became hot, and even the people who had been born out of climbing mountains and wading in the past few days had their anger dissipated, and they actually came to the cave blessed land where the gods lived, how could this not make them excited.
However, the question is, since this is already the residence of the gods, where will they live in the future?
Do you want to continue to look for the next sheltered place to live?
However, this is obviously impossible, because they have little food left, and if they continue to consume it, the whole village will starve to death in the mountains and forests.
Everyone knows this, and the old village chief is naturally no exception, and he knows it best.
He stood at the entrance of the cave and pondered for a long time, and decided to meet the people in this fairy cave for a while, if it was really a god, then he would pray for the help of the gods, and if it was a mortal like them, then discuss it and use this cave together.
Thinking of this, he carried a cane, walked to the cave**, and shouted: "Dare to ask, anyone?" ”
After a long time, there was no response, and just when he thought there was no one in the cave, a figure walked out.
From time to time, this figure turned into a phantom and walked quickly, but it showed its shape and appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if it had shrunk into inches, which was shocking.
This person was the one who had come here to live in seclusion and cultivate for more than a month, and he had sensed this group of people outside the cave before, just to see what they wanted to do.
Now that he heard the conversation of the crowd, he probably understood their suffering.
"You and other mortals, why do you come here to make a noise and disturb the cultivation of this seat?" , Wan Gu walked out of the fairy cave and asked sharply.
Seeing this, many villagers hurriedly knelt on the ground, some chanted "the gods are in the world", some asked for forgiveness, and some told about their suffering.
At this time, the old village chief hurriedly put down his crutches, knelt down in front of Wangu, and spoke carefully to Wangu.
"Immortals! The old man's name is Niu Zhi, and he is the village chief of an unnamed mountain village at the foot of the mountain, and I am here to take refuge......"
For the old man's kneeling, Wan Gu is not uncomfortable, although the old village chief looks old, but his real age is estimated to be less than Wan Gu.
After the old village chief finished explaining, Wangu also had a complete understanding of their suffering.
For their evasive behavior, Wan Gu not only did not resent it, but expressed deep sympathy, you must know that during the Qin Dynasty, the total population of the whole country was about 20 million.
However, it took 800,000 manpower to build the Qinling underground palace, and the conscripts recruited for the construction of the Great Wall now increased the pressure on the common people.
This is also one of the main reasons why Liu Bang, as a commoner, can win the hearts of the people and the world.
"In that case, let's stay here, as long as you don't go into the cave and disturb the cultivation of this seat." , Wangu said lightly.
After that, he was about to return to the Immortal Cave, when a tangled voice came, and it was the previous Niu Village Chief who spoke.
"Immortal and slow, I don't have much food left, if I build a place to live here, I'm afraid I won't live at that time, please ask the immortal to wish me a helping hand."
Wan Gu glanced at their package, and sure enough, it was indeed only a little, not to mention letting them eat enough, I am afraid it would not be enough for them to save money for three days.
"Hey, even if it's for the dead "Susu" to accumulate yin virtue! ”
As he spoke, Wan Gu came to an open space outside the Immortal Cave, sealed his hands, and whispered, "Wooden Stake Dafa!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a huge wooden stake several feet long from the sky.
Boom......
The stakes were precisely inserted into the ground, sinking into the ground for three minutes without falling. In an instant, the sky shook, and it took a long time to calm down.
When those villagers saw this, they were stunned, when had they seen this kind of miracle, they fell to the ground one after another, shouting for the gods to appear.
Village Chief Niu was even more surprised, knowing that in fact, he just wanted Wan Gu to give them a little food, he didn't expect Wan Gu to use his magic power to help them summon so much wood.
With the wood, they believed that they would soon be able to build a temporary place to live, and as long as it didn't rain, they would be able to barely hold on.
This is not over yet, I saw Wan Gu stretch out a finger in each of his hands, pointing towards the mountains and forests below the kilometer, and in an instant, I saw a purple chain shot out of Wan Gu's fingertips, which was the Northern Immortal Bundle.
These two chains crossed thousands of kilometers and went straight to the valley under the fairy cave, accurately locked the two fat wild boars, and then quickly pulled them back, and dragged the two wild boars to the outside of the fairy cave, in front of Wan Gu.
At this time, the two wild boars were still a little confused, and when they saw someone, they immediately struggled, but it was a pity that the Northern Immortal Suo of Wangu was so powerful, and it was Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui, who were congenitally condensed, could lock it in the slightest.
They were, not to mention these two ordinary boars, who were just a little stronger, and they almost exhausted their strength in vain.
This inhuman method of Wangu has been deeply imprinted in the minds of these villagers. They all bowed down and thanked Wangu for his great kindness.
"Okay, if you can help, this seat has already helped, and it's up to you to do the rest."
With that, Wan Gu ignored the thanksgiving of the villagers who were in distress, and turned around and walked into the Immortal Cave.
