In the east of Longlin City, Baokang County, Tianle Empire on the Yichen Continent, there is a reckless forest, which is the world-famous Phantom King Forest, connecting the two most powerful empires in the Yichen Continent, the Tianle Empire and the Tianhuang Empire.

At the edge of the Phantom King Forest, there is a village of 100 households, there is a dark and shiny stone tablet at the east end of the village, which is engraved with the three vicissitudes of life and powerful characters of "Night Return to the Village", at this time the village is bright at night, and hundreds of people hold torches in their hands around the nearest family next to the stone tablet. The courtyard was crowded with villagers, adults and children, and even women holding babies. Something big seemed to be going on in this village.

In a house in the middle of the courtyard, a middle-aged man with a pale face kept covering his mouth and coughing violently, and a teenager hurriedly brought him a cup of tea with tears on his face.

The middle-aged man waved his hand to him to signal that he didn't need to, and the young man stepped back, put down the tea, and knelt in front of him. The middle-aged man looked at the two white-haired old men standing next to the young man, and said lightly, "Let's start." ”

The two old men glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness, and then each of them took a string of moist and transparent bracelets. Suddenly, the two old men looked solemn, clasped their palms together, and said something in their mouths......

It's another night, the night is silent in a mountain village, the crescent moon is like a hook, hanging above the village, lying on the beams of the village house, as if you can touch it with a stretch of hand! The village is very quiet, everything is not heard in the village, but in the Phantom King Forest three miles north of the village, the roar of the palpitating beast seems to have never stopped for a moment, this is the paradise of the Yuan Beast, it is the forbidden place of the cultivator, of course, if the cultivator is lucky, this is also a place full of opportunities.

How big the Phantom King Forest is, no one can tell! I only know that the people who go in will never be able to reach the end if they don't look back, and if they go farther, even if they turn back, they are likely to get lost in it, our story does not start from the Phantom King Forest, but from the Yehui Village next to the Phantom King Forest, no one can remember when the existence of the Yehui Village is, according to the vague records of the oldest historical documents in the Yichen Continent, it seems that before the Phantom King Forest was formed, Yehui Village (maybe not Yehui Village, Yehui Village has changed its name many times) already existed. It wasn't until 500,000 years ago that the Phantom King Forest gradually formed.

There are many primordial beasts in the Phantom King Forest, and the strength of many of them is unfathomable, and even the peerless supreme of the Yichen Continent does not dare to go deep into them. The Phantom King Forest Yuan Beast is famous, often preying on humans for a living, and even once in the Yuan Beast King, the Jade Dog King, led the fifth-order Yuan Beast to prey on a three-star city in the Tianle Empire of the Yichen Continent, this matter shook the entire empire, the Water Moon Emperor was angry, and asked the five enlightenment masters to directly shoot the million-yuan beast to destroy, and the Jade Dog King saw that the situation was not good, and he was seriously injured and fled. However, no matter how ferocious the primordial beasts of the Phantom King Forest were, they had never launched any invasion on the Yehui Village, which was close at hand.

In the past few days, Yehui Village has not been calm, the original head of Yehui Village, Ge Le, died in the fifty-fourth year of Tianle, and Ge Le's son, the thirteen-year-old Ge Lei, inherited the village chief of Yehui Village. There are about 300 villagers in Yehui Village, most of whom have the surname Du, while Ge is a single family and will inherit the village chief of Yehui Village.

Gray kept walking around at home this night, Gray's face was sad, his father who was extremely healthy died suddenly, which made Gray feel deeply suspicious when he was in pain, although Gray never knew his father's strength, but once he cultivated the Yuan Dao, he would prolong his life when he cultivated to a certain level, and his father's sudden death made Gray have to suspect that he was killed by others, although the cause of his father's death was not found, which made Gray even more suspicious that he was killed by others.

What bothered Gray even more was that the two most prestigious Du family elders in the village today found him, that is, the two old men who presided over him to become the head of Yehui Village, saying that it was his father's will, to let him go to Liuxu Academy, the most famous Yuandao school in Yichen Continent, to practice, and what Gray hated the most was to be restrained, especially to study in the academy.

Today, when I heard the news that the new village chief was going to study at the famous Liuxu College, the whole village was boiling, Aunt Liu Fei'e, who was outstanding, brought a basket of eggs, the neighbor Du Erhu sent a pair of military chess, and the village Du Shen Chef sent a kitchen knife, Widow Zhao was extremely enthusiastic and stuffed the red belly pocket to Gray, and under the rules that he could not accept gifts at night, Gray could only reluctantly accept it, and in Gray's expectant gaze, Li Yuejuan, the village flower, brought him the news that he was about to marry Du Erhu, and stuffed him with a sugar gourd that Gray often asked her to make at home, Gray took a bite hard, and the taste seemed to be a little sour, looking at the smirking Erhu, Gray said softly, "What a stupid second tiger."

The night was very quiet, recalling the task given to Gray by the two elders surnamed Du, Gray was even more annoying, and the two old men mysteriously found him, and must let him enter the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, the treasure of Liuxu Academy, and found a treasure called the Imperial Scepter, and did not tell him any characteristics of this thing for him to explore by himself, and told him that this was also a task that his father had assigned to him. Looking at the two old men who were trembling in their movements, Gray dismissed the idea of beating them up, and swore under their pressure that he would complete the task.

"Done, I'll finish your sister, Lao Tzu is only thirteen, so give me such a heavy responsibility, although I don't know what the Imperial Power Scepter is, but it's definitely not easy to get!" Looking at the two old men who had high hopes for themselves with a kind smile on their faces, Gray couldn't help but think, "Could it be because the Du family thinks that our surname Ge has been the village chief for too long and deliberately rectifies us." ”

Anyway, Gray just thought about it like this, and he still respected the two oldest elders who watched the night return to the village for several generations from dolls to adulthood. Gray lay down on the bed, thinking about the future, and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Du Erhu's rough voice woke up Gray directly, Gray looked at Du Erhu with a smirk in front of him, and forcibly held back his anger to show his strength of returning to the ruins three times and about to turn four times, and kicked Du Erhu out of the window. Gray sat on the bed and looked at Erhu, who was smiling and patting the soil on his body, and asked angrily: "I came here so early, let's say, what's the matter?" Du Erhu patted the dirt on his body and said with a smile: "Village Chief, Blacksmith Li asked you to go over, he said that he fought a divine weapon for you."

Gray asked: "When did he let me pass, why did you tell me now?" For Du Erhu's words, Gray didn't dare to believe it easily, not that Du Erhu often lied, but that he often remembered things and places wrongly.

I remember when I was a child, Du Erhu mysteriously found Gray and said that he had found a Xuanbird's nest, the Xuanniao was fleshy and fat, and immediately attracted the eight-year-old Gray to go, Gray had just cultivated the Yuan Dao and entered the early stage of Lingyue, with the lightness of his body, Gray quickly came to the place Du Erhu said, but did not find the bird's nest, a fourth-order Yuan Beast Shark Crocodile jumped out of the pool Tan and directly bit off Gray's open crotch pants, fortunately, at this time, Gray's father quickly came to repel the crocodile shark with a palm and saved Gray, and since then Gray no longer dares to easily believe this stupid-looking Du Erhu。

Du Erhu touched his head and said, "Blacksmith Li told me yesterday, but I forgot, I thought that you were leaving this morning, and I suddenly remembered it." Looking at the innocent face in front of him, Gray resisted the urge to kick him out of the door again and punched him with his fists.

Ignoring Du Erhu, who was struggling underground, Gray rushed out of the door and went straight to Blacksmith Li's house. Blacksmith Li is the only blacksmith in Yehui Village, usually for the villagers of Yehui Village to build iron tools, when bored, he also randomly builds a few weapons for the villagers of Yehui Village to defend themselves, Li Blacksmith lives in Yehui Village, the location is very remote, there is a hill in the north of Yehui Village, although the hill is small, but the environment is elegant, the birds and flowers on the mountain are fragrant, there is a small lake under the mountain, the blue waves are sparkling, Gray often takes a bath with Du Erhu and other friends in this Hu. I felt a little reluctant to think that I was about to leave such a beautiful place.

Gray walked through the bamboo house, directly in front of the stone cave, walked into the stone cave slightly, a few oil lamps swayed, only to see a white-robed man holding a cyan cold light sword in his hand and looking at it carefully. Hearing the footsteps, the white-robed man turned his head and saw that his face was like jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes were sharp, which made people admire at first glance: "What a beautiful man."

Gray was very puzzled by the only blacksmith in the village, Blacksmith Li was not a native of Yehui Village, but was brought back by Gray's dead father twenty years ago, when he was seriously injured, and later recovered from his injuries and stayed in Yehui Village, his father did not tell Gray his origin, only knew that his surname was Li Hui Iron, and later everyone called him Li Blacksmith.

Gray has always been very puzzled why a person who can eat with his face has become a blacksmith?

For this "friend" Gray who didn't come at his father's funeral and didn't care about his father's death, he didn't have a good impression of it, "Where's my weapon?" Gray asked directly, and then looked at the Qingguang Han Sword in Blacksmith Li's hand, and his heart was a little excited A beautiful sword. I saw Blacksmith Li's finger flick, and the Qingguang Han Sword was broken into pieces, Gray couldn't help but secretly exclaim that it was a pity, even if it wasn't practical, it was okay to use it to show off.

Blacksmith Li casually took out a black stick and threw it to Gray, and said lightly: "This is the weapon I built for you, let's use it," said the model with a shovel and worked hard to build, ignoring Gray again. Gray looked weakly at the black stick in his hand, which, close to the ...... Gray took the stick out of the cave in a trance, and then he took the stick and knocked it down on a stone, and his hand was so painful that the stone only slightly shattered some stone chips. Gray couldn't help but scold, "Who is your grandfather's pit"?

Gray angrily tried to throw the black stick away, but put his hand down and wrapped it up and placed it on his body.

In front of the entrance of the village, the villagers gathered around the village at night. Gray took the big bag on his body, and looked at the villagers who came to see him off. The two elders of the Du family took the lead in saying that they saw Du Tianbao, one of the elders of the Du family, hand Gray a bag, "This is a space bag, which can store items in a large area, you can put your luggage in." Gray was angry in his heart, and he only gave it to me now, causing me to take it for so long, but he couldn't be rude in front of everyone. Gray said obediently, "Thank you, uncle." (According to the generation, Gray called the two uncles of the Du family)

A pink-carved doll held a rag doll and handed it to Gray, and said in a milky voice, "Uncle Gray, Xiaohong gives it to you." Then he gave the rag doll in his hand to Gray. Gray touched her head and said, "In the future, I will call my brother, and when my brother comes back, I will buy you pastries to eat." ”

Looking at Du Erhu and Li Yuejuan, who came to his side, Gray said sincerely, "Be kind to Yuejuan in the future, I can't bully you in the future, I will give this right to Yuejuan." ”

Li Yuejuan's eyes were red and said, "In the future, only I can bully him." Gray looked at the villagers who saw them off and said loudly: "Uncles and aunts, grandma and grandpa, I Gray left today." Then he turned around and walked, but when he walked to the bridge at the entrance of the village, Gray heard the shout of "Go well" in Gray's ears, and Gray knew that this was the identity of the villagers who recognized him as the village chief who returned to the village at night, and he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, this is his eternal home.

After returning to the village at night, on the mountain, Blacksmith Li and a black-robed man sat in a bamboo hut, and the black-robed man's face was blocked by the black-robed man, and his face could not be seen clearly. Blacksmith Li said softly, "Are you doing this well?" The black-robed man smiled and did not speak, and the black-robed man picked up a pot of wine and drank it all.
