Volume 1: The Beginning of Cultivation Chapter 59: Entering the Village

Half a month later, outside a peaceful village, a clear river made a circle outside the village, and then flowed into the distance.

At this time, it was spring and summer, and the children in the village were playing freely, barefoot and happily fighting in the river.

The women on the shore washed their clothes and from time to time whispered to the children with smiles.

In the far reaches of the river, several men came back with oars and goods from the transaction, looking forward to nourishing their children again tonight.

There is also an old man, sitting under the peach tree at the entrance of the village, sipping camellia in his mouth, feeling the beauty of the fragrance of tea invading his heart, and enjoying the quiet years.

With such a beautiful picture, Wang Liang couldn't believe that this was the Shuangsheng Village that he had arrived at after walking for half a month.

He held the jade slip in his hand, injected spiritual power and confirmed the place again and again, and then approached the village with suspicion and called out to the old man sitting at the entrance of the village.

"Old man, is this Shuangsheng Village?"

The old man didn't seem to hear Wang Liang's voice, and he didn't look at him, but looked lovingly at the children playing in the river.

"Old man?"

Wang Liang shouted a few more times, but the old man still did not answer.

But the women on the shore heard it, and they laughed a few times, and one of the eldest ladies shouted at Wang Liang: "Liu Lao is deaf and can't hear the sound for a long time! But where did your little doll come from?

Wang Liang naturally knew how eye-catching he was when he walked outside in the appearance of a child, so he had thought of a statement before coming here, and he should be able to deal with the past...... Probably......

"My father took me out to play, but I was scattered by wolves! My father said before that there are relatives in Shuangsheng Village, so he wants to come and ask for help!" Wang Liang explained loudly, and then asked, "May I ask if this is Shuangsheng Village?"

"This is Shuangsheng Village!" the women heard this, and they all put down their work and walked over.

"The little doll came here by herself? It's so pitiful! Look at your little face is so dirty! Your clothes are torn! I'm afraid it's a big crime!"

Wang Liang was naturally prepared, in order to correspond to the words, he used his sword to cut his clothes in a mess, and did not hesitate to roll on the ground several times, revealing a dirty appearance, so as not to make people suspicious.

There is also the Ink Ugly Sword, this sword is still too big for him, and it is still too conspicuous on his back. In order to reduce the degree of conspicuousness, Wang Liang simply carried a large wooden box to hide the existence of the ink ugly sword.

"Little doll, what's the name of your relatives?

"I don't know!" Wang Liang replied in horror and sadness like an ordinary child, "My father said that there are relatives here, but he didn't say his name, and I don't know what that person's name is!

Wang Liang looked at the women with expectant and helpless eyes when he was scared, and he felt that he was about to be disgusted by himself.

However, these women ate Wang Liang's set, and when they saw such a lovely child as Wang Liang, who was the same age as their own child, they felt that their hearts were happy!

One by one, they rushed to grab Wang Liang, saying that they would let him go to his house to settle down first.

Pulling Wang Liang with all hands and eight hands, Wang Liang almost suffocated!

In the end, an eldest lady named Aunt Cui stood out! Since she had no children under her knees, she succeeded in convincing the other women to take Wang Liang to live in her own home.

The others gave up at this time, and then sat back on the shore and resumed their work, leaving only Aunt Cui and Wang Liang in the same place.

"What's your name, doll?" asked Aunt Cui gently

“...... Wang Liang. ”

Aunt Cui smiled: "Then I'll call you a good one!"

...... Whatever, anyway, it's also to complete the sect's mission!

Being called so close by strangers, Wang Liang is really not used to it!

"When I put away my clothes, you can go back with me!"

Aunt Cui returned to the shore and put away the laundry, and then took Wang Liang into the village.

Passing by the old man drinking tea, the man didn't even look at Wang Liang, and he didn't even roll his eyes.

Wang Liang looked at the old man and felt that there was something wrong.

Deaf and not blind, how can such a living person pass in front of him, how can he not react?

Wang Liang didn't think about it, and followed Aunt Cui into the village.

But stepping on the ground of the village, Wang Liang immediately smelled a bloody breath, which was extremely strong. When he was only a step away from the village, Wang Liang didn't smell it at all!

It's exactly what the mission says!

Wang Liang was vigilant and asked Aunt Cui who led the way.

"Aunt Cui, do you smell a smell here?"

"Smell?" Aunt Cui sniffed suspiciously, "No, what's the smell?"

No?

Wang Liang looked at Aunt Cui's expression, and his plain face made him unable to find a flaw.

"Maybe it's the smell on my body!" Wang Liang smiled, although the bloody smell here was so strong that he wanted to vomit a little, but he still had to pretend to be casual to inquire about the news, "Aunt Cui, do you have any customs in Shuangsheng Village, such as slaughtering sheep and cattle to sacrifice ancestors?"

"We don't have these things here!" Aunt Cui laughed, "but there are still customs! If someone dies, we will cremate the deceased and throw the ashes into the river, so that their souls can be appeased by the river and reincarnated!"

But if it is a person who dies by mistake, he cannot be cremated! It is rumored in the village that people who die by accident will have grievances, and the fire will not burn their corpses! So we will build a raft and put the corpses on it, and let the corpses go down the river, so that the river can soothe the grievances that carry them away!"

"Is that the river outside the village?" asked Wang Liang.

"That's right, that river is called Shuangsheng River!"

Wang Liang felt strange about this custom, they would throw all the corpses into the river, but they would also live and play in the river, didn't it feel inappropriate?

However, this seems to have nothing to do with blood, and Wang Liang does not want to judge other people's customs at will.

"When was Shuangsheng Village established?" Wang Liang pretended to be curious and asked, "It feels like it should have been some years, right?"

Aunt Cui recalled: "It must have been a long time, right? I can't remember exactly, anyway, my grandfather's grandfather and his whole generation lived in the village all their lives! It seems that the people who built the village here in the past just thought that the feng shui here was good! I don't understand feng shui, but I think our village is beautiful!"

"It's very beautiful!"

Wang Liang replied with a smile, but the doubts in his heart became heavier.

Geomancy?

If the founder of this village really considered feng shui, it would never be possible to choose a place that used to be a battlefield!

Then this is different from what Senior Brother Zhao Yi speculated.

But if it weren't for the ancient battlefield, what would be the matter with this bloody aura?

Wang Liang didn't understand it for a long time, so he came up with an idea.

If you want to determine if this underground is a place like the ruins of an ancient battlefield, then simply find a place to dig down and take a look! If this was really a battlefield before, then there should be armor wreckage and something like that underground, right?

If you ask this again, it will inevitably make Aunt Cui suspicious, so it's better to investigate it yourself.

"Ah Liang!"

Wang Liang was thinking about it, when Aunt Cui suddenly called him.

"You really don't know what your loved one's name is?"

"I don't know!" Wang Liang shook his head, "My father didn't tell me either! I don't even know if the man is a man or a woman, or what he looks like! And my father doesn't know what's going on now, maybe those wolves ...... my father."

"Bah, bah!" Aunt Cui saw Wang Liang's frustration on her face, and immediately comforted, "How can a son curse his father? Your father must still be alive!"

Aunt Cui continued: "When you come to the village, you can live in peace, there are wolves outside, but those beasts don't dare to come to the village!

"Hmm!" Wang Liang looked at Aunt Cui, who was still comforting him, although it was a fake statement that deceived others, but the actions of these villagers still warmed his heart, "Thank you Aunt Cui!"

Aunt Cui smiled and didn't speak.

didn't go long before Aunt Cui took Wang Liang to a house. Although the house is a little dilapidated, it is still neat and clean, and it seems to have a warm feeling.

"This is my home, my husband died a few years ago, and I don't have children, and now I live alone. ”

Aunt Cui took Wang Liang to a room, and then said, "You wait a while, I'll boil some water for you, and you go take a bath." Then I'll go and borrow some clothes from the others that you can wear, what do you look like now!"

"Thank you, Aunt Cui!" Wang Liang thanked again.

"Say no thanks. Aunt Cui smiled, "Today you take a rest first, tomorrow I will take you door to door to find your relative, since it is a relative, there must be similarities in appearance, we will definitely be able to help you find it!"

Looking for something similar?

So what if you can't find it?

Didn't they just find out that they lied to them?!

But what if you find it?

Wang Liang doesn't want to have one more inexplicable relative come out!

There was such a loophole in the made up statement, and Wang Liang didn't expect it!

"Aunt Cui wait!" Wang Liang hurriedly stopped the person, "Actually...... I'm not telling the truth...... I picked it up by my father!"

Aunt Cui was surprised: "Picked it up?"

“...... Hmmm!"

Wang Liang really worked hard for this task!

"I don't look like my father, so I ......" Wang Liang pretended to be disappointed and depressed, and stopped talking.

Aunt Cui was also soft-hearted, and sighed: "It seems that your relative can't be found! But it doesn't matter, where to live or not! I am also spacious here, so you can stay for the time being!"

“...... Thank you Aunt Cui!" "Wang Liang always feels that it is really unconscionable to deceive an honest person like this!"
