"Do you know why this mountain is called Sneig Mountain, and why this village is called Sigley Village?" the village chief asked, as he walked to a desk not far away, which was messy and full of things.

"I don't know. ”

"No, you know, otherwise you wouldn't be here. The village chief glanced back at the monk and picked up something on the desk.

"!" The monk was surprised again, and today he was surprised enough, "Okay, admit that I know, our family's ancient books record that Sneg Mountain is also called 'Snake Mountain' because it is shaped like an entrenched snake, and there is a small village called Higre in the mountain, and Sigre means secret. Monk looked at the back of the village chief and paused briefly, "The Higre Village in the Snegg Mountain, if it is connected, it is the secret of the Snake Mountain!"

"So you're here to unlock the secret?" the village chief didn't look back, and continued to look for things, "I'm old, I can't remember where I put the things, where did I put them?"

"Yes. Since everything was said about this, there was no need to hide the cultivation path, so I nodded and admitted.

"Unraveled?"

"I didn't solve it. ”

"Why didn't you solve it?"

"There was no time. ”

"Why don't you have time?"

"Because of the bell. ”

"Good!" the village chief turned his head to look at the cultivator approvingly, "Well, I really didn't misunderstand you. Without waiting for the cultivator to speak, the village chief continued, "Do you know why, I didn't drive you away after I found out that you were a cultivator?

"I didn't know before, but now I know. You're watching us, you're watching me, to be exact!" "The village chief in front of me is not simple!"

"You're good! You're an understanding person. The village chief glanced approvingly at the monk again. Then he pulled out a book from a pile of books on the desk, it was a yellowed book, and it looked like it was some years old. "That's it, found it. The village chief left the desk with the book and walked towards the monastic, "The secret you want to unravel is here. ”

The monk didn't answer, just stood there, staring closely at the village chief and his eyes.

"This secret is also related to the origin of the green snake pattern on the back of your cultivators. The village chief walked over to the monk.

The cultivator still didn't move, still looking at the village chief.

"Don't you want to know?" said the village chief, handing the book to the monk.

The cultivator didn't reach out to take it, "There is no free lunch in the world, our cultivator is doing this kind of business, I know that the more tempting the secret, the greater the price to pay, you haven't said what the price I have to pay is?"

"I'll just say you're an understanding person. The village chief took the book back and looked at the monk with satisfaction. "The secret of the snake mountain, this secret has continued since the existence of this mountain, and the head of the village of Sigre is also known as the 'keeper of the secret', and this is the price you have to pay. ”

"You want me to be the head of this village?"

"Not bad. The village chief did not deny it.

"I," Xiu Dao instinctively wanted to refuse, but halfway through his words, Ling'er's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, "If I refuse, won't I be able to be with Ling'er?"

"If you refuse, then Ling'er will become the head of the village, and as the head of Sigre Village, she is not allowed to marry anyone from outside the village. The village chief nodded and said, "So I just said, it's up to you whether this matter has anything to do with Ling'er or not." ”

"This!" Xiu Dao didn't know how to answer at all, he felt that the village chief in front of him was digging a pit for him, and he knew that it was a pit but he could only obediently jump in, very powerless. Now that the matter is clear, there is only one question for the cultivator, "Does she know about this matter?"

"I won't let her know until she becomes the village chief. The village chief gave the answer.

After knowing that Ling'er was not involved in this matter, Xiudao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you think I'll say yes?"

The village chief did not speak, but looked at the cultivator calmly.

"Aren't you afraid that I will forcibly take Ling'er down the mountain?"

The village chief still didn't speak.

"There's no one here to stop me. ”

The village chief still didn't speak.

"Okay, I promise!" Xiu Dao knew very well in his heart that he could forcibly take Ling'er down the mountain, and there was really no one here who could stop him, but if he really did this, let's not say whether Ling'er would agree, even if Ling'er agreed, they would also go down the mountain, but would she be happy in the future? For her sake, he had no choice.

Hearing the monk's answer, the village chief laughed. "Hahaha~"

"Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, I'm very happy with you!" the village chief stepped forward and patted the monk twice on the shoulder.

"Uncle, is it really good for you to pit a junior like this?"

"Hahaha~"

The current mood of the monk can only be described in four words, that is, he wants to cry without tears.

"Hahaha, you've passed the assessment!" said the village chief with a sudden smile.

"What?

"It's all about the assessment, just to see if you're sincere to Ling'er!" explained with a smile.

The monk was suddenly speechless.

"But it's true about the village's secrets. ”

"Uncle, you have come full circle just to prove that I am sincere to Ling'er?"

"You are from outside the village, not from our village, I don't want to prove it, how can I trust Ling'er to you? The village rightly said.

"Yes, uncle, you did the right thing!" said Xiudao, who could somewhat understand the village chief's good intentions.

"You know what just happened, don't let Ling'er know. The village chief instructed.

"Well, I won't tell her. The cultivator guessed the reason and readily agreed.

"I'll just say you're an understanding person. ”

"I don't want to understand, but who am I going to reason?" said the cultivator in his heart.

"The meal is ready, it's time to start the meal. Ling'er's voice came in from outside.

The atmosphere of this meal is still very good, with the previous conversation, the village chief did not treat the cultivator as an outsider, Ling'er was happy in his eyes, and he was smiling while eating.

Ling'er's actions could not escape her father's eyes, and after eating, the village chief put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "When you went to cook just now, Xiaodao told me about the two of you, and he begged me to marry you to him, I see that he is so sincere, and the two of you agree to agree, you can pick a time to settle the matter?"

"Ah~" Where did Ling'er think that her father would suddenly say this, and her face suddenly turned red.

Seeing the opportunity, the village chief kicked Xiudao under the table and motioned for him to speak.

"Ling'er, I..." The thing came too suddenly, and I really didn't know what to say after a while.

The village chief was anxious in his eyes, "Didn't you just say that you want to get engaged first?"
