Sanhe Village is located next to the Lotus Peak of Taihua Mountain, at the foot of an unnamed hill.

The four surnames of Zhao Qiansun and Li in the village are said to have migrated here after the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Legend has it that

At the beginning of the village, there were only three surnames, that is, three families settled here, and they became brothers, and the small river flowing outside the village was called "Sanhe".

It symbolizes that the three families are one family, as close as a family, and forever married!

Later, little by little, the village had more surnames of Qian, which gave rise to the four surnames.

If Lao Liu Yanchang can take root in Sanhe Village and slowly pass it on from generation to generation, it is unknown that this village may have five surnames in the future.

Of course

It's not just a person who can be recognized by the village and let you completely integrate into the village.

It can also be reflected from here that Lao Liu's character is indeed good.

..

This year's rain has been reconciled, and it is a good year for a good harvest.

The villagers of Sanhe Village, every household has received a lot of grain, in addition to the government levy, the rest is enough for a few people in a family to chew for a year.

Therefore, every household can be described as smiling.

but

Just a few days ago, the joy of this harvest was replaced by a gloomy and melancholy sadness.

The entire Sanhe Village can be described as the filial piety of the whole village.

Originally

At this time, it is already a cold winter wax moon, the heavy snow is about to close the mountain, seeing that the New Year is approaching, the villagers of Sanhe Village are ready to go into the mountain for the last time to do some New Year's goods.

There are four surnames in Sanhe Village, more than 100 households, each surname has thirty or forty households, one family has five or six people, and there are nearly 1,000 people.

On weekdays, although they also go into the mountains in groups to hunt, there are only thirty or fifty people at most.

This time, there were 150 or 60 people in the mountain, and basically, the strong men and hunters of the whole village were all together.

If nothing else, the unexpected happened.

Of the 150 or 60 strong men who entered the mountain this time, less than twenty people came back.

For the rest,

They were all captured by youkai.

This has never happened in the entire village history of Mikawa Village.

But it happened this year.

..

Chen Xiang came down from the clouds and did not go to the village of Sanhe Village first, but to his home outside the village first.

This fenced yard made of dead branches and rotten trees, this small thatched house, is actually very unfamiliar to Chen Laogou, because he has only lived here for three or four days.

can

He came here first.

No one has taken care of it for more than half a year, and the small courtyard is already full of waist-high withered yellow artemisia grass.

fluttering,

The sound of Chen Xiang pushing open the courtyard door alarmed the thief bird occupying the magpie's nest, and a big gray-feathered bird fluttered its wings and rushed out of the thatched hut and flew away without looking back.

It, but it still knows that it is at a loss, so it left first!

Seeing this, Chen Xiang couldn't help but pause with his hand pushing the courtyard door, then silently closed the courtyard door, took a deep look at the small courtyard, and left without looking back.

This place,

For him, there was nothing to see!

The reason why he came here was actually more nostalgia for another world in his heart.

Because

In a sense, it's the closest to there!

but

He knew in his heart that no matter what it was, it was just a luxury, and only by improving his cultivation was it true.

Maybe it really made him a unique existence between heaven and earth, beyond heaven and earth, and it is unknown if there is hope to return in the future.

Well

It's best if you can go back, and if you can't go back, you have to become the most carefree boss in heaven and earth.

Eternal vision, not bound by anyone!

Once again, he clarified the thoughts in his heart, or the unswerving Dao in his heart, Chen Xiang must have a heart in his heart, and he felt that his cultivation in the Jindan realm had taken a big step forward.

Well

Not bad

He was overjoyed, then turned and walked towards the village.

If it is divided according to the realm, he is now estimated to be almost in the middle stage of Jindan.

Although he was very dissatisfied with his cultivation realm and mana, his cultivation progress was not slow!

From a person who has no foundation at all, to cultivate to Jindan in half a year, looking at the entire Three Realms, he dares to say that there should not be many people who are better than himself.

Thinking like this, Chen Xiang has come to the entrance of the village!

Before he entered the village, he saw white lanterns hanging under the eaves of every house.

Chen Xiang was stunned,

What's the situation?

The New Year's Day is approaching, why hang up the white lanterns?

Isn't it, someone has passed away?

In the cold winter, many elderly people pass away, which is normal.

can

Even if an old man dies, it won't be like hanging lanterns in every house, right?

The village chief doesn't have this treatment!

Thinking like this in his heart, Chen Xiang had already walked into the village quickly, and at the same time, his five senses and six senses unfolded, he wanted to see what was going on in this village.

When his five senses and six senses unfolded, he sensed that everyone in the village had gathered at the big banyan tree.

He turned and walked towards the big banyan tree.

Before I walked to the big banyan tree, far away, I saw a group of people pressed by the white press, Wuyang and Wuyang gathered at the big banyan tree square, each wearing linen and wearing filial piety, and the sound of crying was endless.

Chen Xiang came to the crowd, although it was silent, but it still attracted attention.

He is dressed in crow blue and black, and he is still very conspicuous in the crowd of white filial piety clothes.

It's just that

He has changed a lot in the past six months, his height has grown a lot, his appearance has matured a lot, and he is wearing a gorgeous costume with an extraordinary temperament.

The people in the village really didn't recognize him.

Although he didn't recognize him, in a burst of whispering, the village elder at the front of the crowd rushed over after knowing about it.

Although the village is worshipping with great compassion, there are outsiders who come, and they can't lose their courtesy.

What's more, those who come at this time must have come to worship sincerely, and they must be entertained.

The village elder didn't recognize Chen Xiang, but Chen Xiang knew him, the thirteenth master of the Zhao family, in his fifties, but his seniority was the highest in the village, and Zhao Lao Wu had to call him grandpa.

The thirteenth master is in his fifties, his head is not dizzy, and he doesn't even have gray hair on his head.

This is Chen Xiang's impression of him when he was still in the village half a year ago.

After half a year, when I saw him again, I found that the old man was full of white hair, and his figure seemed to be a lot stiffer.

"Old Zhao Zhiqiang, don't dare to ask the name of the distinguished guest, the distinguished guest is here, I don't know what can I do in Sanhe Village?"

The Thirteenth Master didn't come alone, and with him was Li Si, the man who would resist Tiegen down the mountain.

Chen Xiang didn't hold it up, arched his hand, and said: "Thirteenth master, the junior Liu Shenxiang, the kid of Liu Yanchang's family outside the village, I don't know if you still have an impression?" ”

"Oh"

The Thirteenth Master pondered for a moment, and his face suddenly realized: "It turned out to be you, a monkey."

After saying this, he sighed heavily and said, "Hey, you kid, you have changed a lot, it seems that it is right to go out, why don't you see your father?" ”

"I came back by myself, in front of this situation, I don't know if the younger generation should ask, if there is a place where I can help, please speak up"

Chen Xiang said, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and he didn't count them, so he handed them directly to the thirteenth master of the Zhao family.

"Hey, it's all fate, it's all fate."

The thirteenth master didn't accept the silver ticket, but sighed twice with a sad face.
