On the road, two men led a group of heavily armed men with their heads covered in iron helmets.

"Big brother, are you tired? This armor is not heavy, or I will hold it for you. ”

One of them, dressed simply, with a simple appearance and a serious face.

The man in armor who was answered by him arched his hand and said, "Xu Daxian, I'm not tired." ”

"Really, are you tired? It's okay, when I'm tired, just say, I'm a fourth-order, I have enough strength. He looked at the other man.

"Xu Chengzhu is endless!"

Next to him, a strong man with a meaty face reprimanded: "People are forbidden troops!" Do you know what the Forbidden Army is! If you are tired of all the armor, then the Shangpindan will not be eaten in vain! ”

Xu Chengzhu scratched his head, "Senior Brother Xiahou, I'm not afraid that they will be tired, I have spare strength, I can share more." ”

"I'm not your junior brother, we're from the same period!"

Xiahou said angrily: "You are just one order higher than me, don't be too rampant, I will catch up soon!" ”

Xu Chengzhu was overjoyed when he heard this, "That's great, the junior brother has become stronger, and we can better share the worries of the teacher!" ”

"You"

Looking at that simple and serious expression, Xiahou wanted to scold but didn't know how to speak.

How can you act with this product!

In the two harvest seasons, there is the least enough manpower, and Baishou City is already busy enough, especially when I heard that there are people who have disappeared recently, it happened that Xu Chengzhu was in the city at that time, and he volunteered to go in person.

Coincidentally, he was there at the time.

In two years, Xiahou has gone from being literate in racking his brains to now his third-order fighting power, and he has suppressed evil ways and killed bandits with his senior brothers, and he can be regarded as having experienced wind and rain.

In a situation like this where someone disappears inexplicably, there is a high probability that it is related to the demon, and he must not want to go, that kind of thing is not something he can deal with.

But who told Xu Chengzhu to have a lot of strength, so he pulled him over.

As the only two leaders of the outer disciples, Xu Chengzhu was called by his senior brother as the heart of a child, and he also entered the Dan furnace in person and learned the human Dan method, but no one among the outer disciples wanted to follow him, just polite on the surface.

He Xiahou was obsessed with learning the human Dan method, and chose the Shi Dan method of Wang Hu, the senior brother of the inner door, but in the position of the third order, he overwhelmed the other junior disciples, and everyone was about the same composition, but he was willing to listen to his orders.

As a character like a senior brother of the outer door, even if he encounters something for the sake of face, he can't be timid.

Besides, it's just to collect grain, not to exterminate the demons, I heard that the senior brother is out of the customs and has been dispatched, so it's not a big problem.

It's just that as long as he is with Xu Chengzhu, he will inevitably be angry.

Why!

Why are all good things his, mortals, he likes him, and when he goes out to do things, people respect him, but it is he who makes suggestions and makes every step of the way!

Even if he pokes and mocks himself, people can't hear it, even if he scolds it to his face, he doesn't care, but he will always have a smiling face, which makes Xiahou idiot have no temper at all.

At that time, he followed people to exterminate the evil way, how could he not die!

Xiahou took a deep breath, stopped looking at him, and said, "The front is Cuiwu Village, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and collect the grain!" ”

At the end of the road, there is a quiet little village, the surrounding farmland has been harvested, and the roots left behind are unusually quiet in the twilight, and the whole village is so peaceful and peaceful.

"It's all over, I wanted to help." Xu Chengzhu said.

"Hey, I've got so many farm tools, and I can't finish it." Xiahou was disdainful.

Cuiwu Village is one of the many villages and towns under the protection of Jinxianmen, two years ago, the senior brother got a lot of people to come in, but not everyone is willing to gather around the city, some are far away from the city and are located in the wilderness, forming villages and towns.

In these places, Su Yougen distributed seeds for free to help them reclaim wasteland, which is now the main source of food, and the original plants are basically harvested once a year, but in the case of their continuous alchemy to make formulas, plus some good harvesting tools, and help cultivate seeds, it has long been two harvests a year.

As they walked, they could see many children playing at the entrance of the village.

The sudden appearance of a group of people naturally attracted the attention of the children.

"Forbidden Army! It's the Forbidden Army! ”

As if they had seen some idol, a dozen or so people gathered around them.

"Wow, what a bright armor, the forbidden army is so mighty, I want to be a forbidden army when I grow up!" A seven or eight-year-old child has almost a light in his eyes.

"It's good, you have to practice diligently, the forbidden army is very powerful!" Xu Chengzhu clenched his fists and said with a smile.

"Huh? You are." The child looked at Xu Chengzhu without armor and wondered.

"I'm Xu Chengzhu, a disciple of the Golden Immortal Sect, hello." Xu Chengzhu said with a smile.

"It's Daisen!"

"Daxian is even more powerful, I want to be a Daxian in the future!"

A crowd of children cheered out again.

"Daxian Daxian, this is for you, I will do it"

A girl handed Xu Chengzhu a bouquet of several wildflowers.

The rest of the children did not seem to be outdone, and children's toys such as hand towels, wooden spinning tops, pottery ringballs, and nine beads were given to these forbidden soldiers.

It's just that Xiahou is obviously at the forefront, and these children are closest to them, but they automatically bypass them one by one, as if they ignore him.

This made his face visibly darkened.

"Senior Brother Xiahou, don't be sad, you look fierce, come, this is for you."

Seeing this, Xu Chengzhu handed a piece of caramel to Xiahou very intimately.

"I don't want it!"

Xiahou glared at him, "Children's things, what's so good, if I don't have anything in the city?!" I have as much jade, gold and silver as I want at home! ”

became a great immortal, with Yulu, alchemy refining things and selling a lot of money, part of the money was left, part of it was replaced with valuable treasures, and it was okay to do nothing every day, lying at home and counting the money and looking at the treasures.

He was born as a bandit, and what he liked most was to look at treasure.

A broken caramel candy, what's so good.

"Daisen."

At this moment, a child who didn't seem to be very gregarious came silently from behind and handed an unusually rough wooden sword to Xiahou Idiot.

"This one, this one for you!" The boy puffed up his chest and belly, plucked up his courage, and said loudly.

The wooden sword, with its rough and twisted wooden handle, long and short gauntlets, and an unshaved wooden body, was not so much a wooden sword, but it was actually no different from a wooden stick.

Xiahou was stunned for a moment, his eyes fluctuated, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but because he looked so fierce, the corners of his mouth were even more fierce, making the child take a step back in fright.

"Tsk!"

Xiahou slapped the wooden sword away, glared at the child, and said, "I don't have time to play with you, I'm here to collect grain!" ”

He stepped on the wooden sword, walked towards the village, and said loudly: "Jinxianmen is here to collect grain, prepare your grain, come to the village center to exchange it with us!" Hurry up and don't waste time! ”

"Wow!!"

The child behind him cried straight up, and Xiahou Idiot's face became even more gloomy when he heard it.

Children are the most annoying!

The children I met in the school before, the children who were playing on the streets, and the children who were doing the same!

This world-breaking way, only a few days of happiness, why are you so happy!

Also play with swords, play with a hairy sword!

The forbidden soldiers quickly stepped forward and took out the cloth bags around their waists, which were full of silver coins.

This is the money used to collect grain.

Naturally, they would not impose a levy, but the price was only parity, and with this money, mortals would go to the city to buy necessities, and they could expand their houses, and when the number of people increased, the village would expand, and there would be merchants, and then it would become a new city.

And so on, mortals will prosper and become better.

They remembered that when the old men said this, they were full of yearning and expectation.

The center of the village has long been filled with carts full of large cloth bags and rice and vegetables scattered around.

With Xiahou's words, a group of villagers came out of the house, led by the old man on crutches and smiled: "I have been waiting for Daxian for a long time, please check it." ”

One of them frowned and looked at the children who were crying at the entrance of the village, and shouted: "Shuwa, cry a lot, the great immortal is here, come here!" ”

Then he apologized, "My child is a little noisy, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

"This is also our fault, Senior Brother Xiahou, that wooden sword is actually quite good-looking, but unfortunately, I don't want people to give it to me." Xu Chengzhu said on the side.

"I'm not your junior brother!"

Xiahou glared at him, took a deep breath, and said to the forbidden army: "Go and check!" ”

Ten Praetorian soldiers walked up to the carts and began to count.

Xu Chengzhu said to these villagers at this time: "Recently, pay attention, there is a village in front of you that seems to have disappeared, you also have to be careful to protect, we will step up patrols to try to keep you safe." ”

"It's good that Daxian has this heart, we are from outside, and we will die in a few days. You see, we didn't belong to the same village before, we all belonged to other villages, and everyone died, so only one or two of them were left. ”

The old man smiled: "We have been stable for a few years, which is very good." Now I can still get the protection of the great immortals, and I can get a patrol, and I am satisfied. ”

"How's that going to work?"

Xu Chengzhu frowned and said: "We, Jinxianmen, what we want to ensure is that you will have long-term peace and stability, not to live for a while, but to live until the end of your life!" ”

"Then please Daxian."

The old man bowed, raised his head, opened his mouth, and said something.

Xiahou was bored by this, stepped back, turned to look at the wooden sword lying in the dirt, and sighed again.

Annoying.

Why did he do this?

Isn't it good to be in the city?

These people are chattering and talking, and there is nothing to say.

After the inspection, go straight away, it's just a group of mortals, is it necessary to listen to them?

"Uncle, what did you say?"

Xu Chengzhu was obviously so close, but he didn't seem to be able to hear people talking, hum, it must be some kind of compliment from this mortal, and he wanted to listen to it again.

Why is this man so annoying?

"Uncle, I can't hear you clearly, what are you talking about? Have you spoken? Xu Chengzhu's voice sounded again.

Xiahou turned his head impatiently and said, "You are not finished, he said."

Suddenly, he was stunned.

The surrounding villagers, each smiling, opened and closed their mouths, as if they were saying something.

But no sound was heard.

The sound of the breeze stopped, and the cicadas and frogs that are unique to the summer dusk were used to hearing it, and I didn't think it before, but now when I hear it, it seems to be silent.

In the village, there was no sound except for Xu Chengzhu's voice.

And those people's eyes darkened at the moment, and the faces that should have been smiling became unwavering, and they stood there like puppets.

Motionless.
