At the beginning of the carriage out of the city, there were still many people along the way, and the more they went, the fewer people there were.

Ning Changkong opened the map and looked at the several villages circled on the map, which were all on a line, a total of five villages. In the immortal cultivation world, where there are more fierce beasts, ordinary people who mix well enter the big city, which is safe and stable.

In the village, the nearby sect forces can only rely on the nearby sect forces to kill the more ferocious beasts on a regular basis to ensure the safety of the people, and the people pay a certain amount of money.

The area they went to was a village in the border zone where the two forces usually competed, and because of the frequent change of forces, the villagers often did not receive corresponding care, and the rent was not paid less, and sometimes they had to pay the rent at both ends.

And this kind of disputed realm is the easiest place for evil cultivators to attack.

The carriage was still fast, and before noon, it was already close to the nearest village.

The village looked peaceful, a group of old people chatting and doing sewing work under the big tree in front of the village, and a group of children playing under the tree.

Ning Changkong asked Wu Zhiyou to stop the car, he jumped out of the carriage, came to a group of old people and asked, "May I ask a few grandmothers, passing by the treasure land, thirsty, can you ask for a bowl of water to drink?" ”

Seeing the living coming, several old people were vigilant, and the children surrounded the carriage one by one and were called back by several old people.

A grandmother at the head saw that the person who came looked extraordinary, like a fairy descending from the earth, and was so polite, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "The guest doesn't dislike the simplicity of the house, just come into the house and drink some water." ”

Yang Xiaobao stopped the carriage, and Qiao Lan and Wu Zhiyou also got out of the carriage.

The old people and children at the entrance of the village watched a few people who were all extraordinary looks coming, and they all looked straight and talked in a whisper.

The old man at the head originally wanted to take people to sit in the house, but thinking that his room was short and the light was dim, so he was really embarrassed to enter the house with such a bright person, so he moved out of two benches, moved out of the small square table in the house, and then took out a pottery bowl and water to entertain him.

Taking advantage of the old man's busy time, Ning Changkong opened his mouth and asked a group of old people.

"A few grandmothers, why do you only see the old people and children in the village, and don't see other young adults."

"Oh, I heard there's a name for it?" The old man had a bad memory, so he couldn't remember it for a while and asked his companion

"Tzu An Tang! It was the Ci'an Church that wanted to build a Ci'an Hall in a few villages near us, and they also killed all the fierce beasts in the mountains near us, and now we dare to go into the mountains! ”

"You said far away," the old man who was asked hurriedly said, "Ci'an Hall wants to build a place to take care of the people of our nearby village, and the men and women of the village have gone to help, and they will be entertained with three meals a day, and there will be meat to eat!" ”

"Actually, I think I still have the strength, they just don't want it!" Another old man said a little depressed that she was hungry for that bowl of meat.

Ning Changkong, who got the news, asked the old man to show the way, and it turned out to be built in the mountains behind their last village.

"Does the old man feel that something is abnormal? For example, some young people were left behind and never came back? ”

"That's their blessing, saying that they can cultivate, and after cultivating, they will return to the village, and there will be no need to be afraid of fierce beasts coming over in the mountains in the future!"

Ning Changkong and the others glanced at each other, there was a problem here. The old man also asked about the situation of several of them, and Ning Changkong told the old man the reason he had made up before. The old man hurriedly asked which family it was, Ning Changkong hurriedly made up a name according to the Wangjia Village of the village, and the old man said in disappointment, I haven't been to Wangjia Village for a long time, and many people don't remember it.

Several people said goodbye to the old man and continued to walk forward.

Ning Changkong hurriedly sent a text message to Li Ke, and a talisman quickly ran away. None of these junior disciples had a high-level communication magic weapon like the Transmission Jade Jian, and they all used the most basic spirit runes.

Just as they left with their front feet, an old man entered the house and said to the clay sculpture of the altar: "Xianjun Xianjun, there are people who have come to the village, three men and one woman, they are young people, they say that their parents are gone, and they come back to find their roots, I don't think we can raise children in these villages, they are too good-looking, as good-looking as immortals, by the way, they said that they want to find Wang Jiabao, who is their uncle." ”

Ning Changkong and the others didn't know that they were sold as soon as they left.

When I came to the second village, like the first village, it was a group of old people and children at the entrance of the village, and there were few young adults in the village.

When we came to the third village, it was getting dark.

Several people stopped. However, the villagers were very cautious, and a group of old people surrounded them and asked questions.

Yang Xiaobao and Wu Zhiyou both shut up directly, so as not to leak their mouths.

Ning Changkong and Qiaolan cooperated, and there was nothing wrong.

"Bang bang bang!" The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and a group of old people and children stopped watching them and ran towards the place where the drums sounded.

It turned out that the villagers had returned.

Ning Changkong looked at most of the villagers' faces with sallow, and a few of them had abnormally red faces.

"Mother! I've been chosen! A young man in his twenties rode on a horse tied with red silk cloth and waved excitedly and shouted.

The large red silk flowers on the horse's head shook with the horse's footsteps.

Several people couldn't understand it.

"Auntie, what's going on?" Ning Changkong asked a lady next to him.

"That's when he was selected to be an immortal's attendant, and he will be promoted in the future, and he can be an immortal, hey, why hasn't my child been selected yet?" The old man said with some regret.

The horses that came back were all young men, eight men and eight horses tied to red silk, and eight horses, each of which had two or three people seated.

Seeing their children sitting on horseback, some parents were so excited that they shed tears.

"Auntie, what are the benefits to you after being chosen?" Ning Changkong asked curiously.

"How can there not be many benefits? In the future, there will be a horse in the family, and the chosen family will have ten taels of silver. Although the young man went to cultivate immortals, there was no way to help the family work, but there was a horse, and the horse could help. ”

The village was lively and harmonious, families were reunited, and those who came back brought meat to distribute to children and the elderly.

Ning Changkong and the others lived at the village chief's house and were arranged to eat together.

The village chief is over 60 years old, and the vicissitudes of life are crawling all over his face, and even if he is 60 years old, he has followed to help, and most of the people left in the village are children and old people who have lost their labor, most of them are elderly women.

The village chief came to receive them in person, "I'm sorry, there are no decent dishes, please bear with me." Over the years, we have paid rent on both sides here, but people on both sides don't care about us, and our lives are hard! ”

"Okay now, with the people of Ci'an Hall, we don't have to ask for help in the future, when the children are all cultivating immortals, we will come back and kill the fierce beasts in the mountains! Moreover, the spirit stones used by immortal cultivators are precious, they leak a little out of their fingers, and we can all live a good life! ”

The village chief is dark and thin, but his eyes are bright and shining, shining with hope, "Wife, take out that jar of rice wine, I'm happy today, my son was selected to be an immortal servant last time, and he stayed by the immortal to serve, hahaha, I'm so happy to see you today, you are immortal cultivators at a glance, and you all look as good as immortals!" ”

Ning Changkong hurriedly blushed and said: "No, no, we are ordinary people, our parents died, and our parents hoped that we could go back to the place where our ancestors lived to have a look." ”

"I heard that it's Wangjia Village? The people of Wangjia Village have long been developed, their young people have been stimulated to cultivate qualifications, most of them have been picked up, and the rest of the old people are also living a good life, there is meat to eat every day, and the people of Ci'an Hall often go to help. This Ci'an Church is really doing good deeds! ”

"Uncle, but I heard that the qualifications of immortal cultivators cannot be forced, and there are only one in a thousand people who can cultivate, how can all the young people in my uncle's ancestral village have opened their cultivation qualifications." Ning Changkong asked puzzled.

Only then did the village chief realize that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Eat and eat, you go back to find it this time, your uncle may still be there, but the juniors in his family may not be there, and he will go to the Xianshan Gate in Ci'an to find it." Seeing that you are doing well outside, you may also be able to stimulate your cultivation qualifications and go directly to the Immortal Gate, instead of working here for a period of time as an attendant. ”

On the table were two plates of black and bright meat, two plates of wild vegetables, and a pot of millet porridge.

The village chief's wife gave everyone a piece of millet porridge, and smiled apologetically: "Pay rent at both ends, there is very little surplus food at home, sorry, make do with it first, there are good dishes and meat to eat today, you eat more." ”

The two children sat on the small bench beside them, drooling and looking at the meat on the table, there are guests at home today, and they can't serve at the table, for fear that they will not be able to see the ugliness of their food.

Ning Changkong and the others thanked the old man for his hospitality first.

Seeing that the four of them were polite, the old man was even happier, and he greeted him for dinner again and again.

After the village chief moved the chopsticks, the old woman sandwiched a piece of meat between the two children's bowls, and the two children hurriedly swallowed the meat in their mouths, lest they would eat it slowly.

Wu Zhiyou was about to go to pick up the meat, but was kicked by Ning Changkong, and he quickly retracted his hand.

Looking at something different, Yang Xiaobao hurriedly asked the system: "System, what kind of meat is this?" ”
