In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the firewood room through the window, Zhang Baijian had already filled the water tank with water, and half of the firewood on the ground had been chopped.

The owner, Mrs. Zhou, brought out a large bowl of porridge and two white-flour steamed buns from the kitchen.

"Xiao Zhang, let's come over for dinner first! I'll do this work later! Don't worry!" Aunt Zhou said with kind eyes.

"Okay!" Zhang Baijian put down the firewood knife and walked towards Aunt Zhou.

Zhang Baijian has been in Tianshui Village for three months, and in the past three months, he has found a lot of work, and found that the most suitable for him is still splitting wood. Although his own strength has been reduced to the level of a normal person, his understanding of swordsmanship is still there, and the effect of using a firewood knife to chop wood with sword theory is still good.

For three months, Zhang Baijian had been thinking about what the purpose of his existence in this world was when he was sealed with power.

Maybe it's to experience the life of a mortal and find humanity again. But that's still a little far away, he is a mortal, he has never been extraordinary, and it is really a bit nonsense to find himself among mortals.

Now there are three people left in the village to do their work, and the rest have either been expelled from the village or starved to death because they could not survive.

Of course, it is said that after starving to death, he will leave the space where the power is sealed and return to the Dui District, and the memory of this time is blurred.

Zhang Baijian ate breakfast, chopped all the firewood, and then delivered them to the villagers' homes one by one to charge a cheap fee.

Every villager is very friendly, the rich will leave a hundred blades to eat some snacks, and the poorer will also serve a bowl of tea. Zhang Baijian spent most of the day like this.

This kind of life was repeated by Zhang Baijian for more than a month.

When the sun was setting, Zhang Baijian waited for the other two companions under the big banyan tree in the west of the village as agreed.

The first to come was a fat man with a round mound dun, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and covered with the smell of dung.

His name is Feng Qingyi, and he is still a strong man in Lingtai, and now he is in charge of pouring night incense in Tianshui Village.

"Where's Senior Sister Rong?" asked Zhang Baijian.

The fat man Feng Qingyi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "She said that she can't stand it anymore, and she is going to starve to death!"

The senior sister Rong in Zhang Baidao's mouth is called Li Rongrong. is also a strong man in Lingtai, but now he helps people sew clothes and clean dirty clothes in Tianshui Village, and he lives very hard every day, which is not as easy as Zhang Baijian splitting wood and the fat man's elegant inverted night incense.

"Actually, I can't hold on anymore. I think I have never suffered like this in my life. If it weren't for this stomach, I really couldn't stand the hunger. Feng Qingyi patted his big belly and said very dissatisfied.

"Can you really only starve to death, you can't kill yourself, you can't kill him?" Zhang Baijian asked.

Feng Qingyi said: "Yes, according to our previous guess, it was before starving to death. Our souls break free from the shackles of this world, realize that they are in a world that seems to be real and false, and return to themselves. But if it's suicide or homicide, it's just a matter of moments, and everything ends in an instant. That's really dead. ”

"In other words, what exists in this world is not our body, but our soul?" Zhang Baijian said.

"That's right!" Feng Qingyi nodded.

"It's really terrifying and terrifying! the soul was qualitatively intangible before, but now Razor's test can make our soul indistinguishable from a real person. Zhang Baijian said with emotion.

Feng Qingyi said: "It's not as exaggerated as you think, if my guess is correct, this should be a very powerful and condensed soul realm." It is the place where the soul belongs. ”

"Where the soul belongs, isn't that the hell of the underworld?"

"You're right, but the Hell of the Underworld itself is the largest soul realm, but in addition to the Hell of the Underworld, there are many soul realms that exist in this world. Feng Qingyi said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, have you found any clues?" Feng Qingyi diverted the topic.

Zhang Baijian shook his head: "If it is for us to experience life, then three months is enough, we have let go of what we should let go, and we have redoubled our efforts when we should have worked hard." I'm afraid that our direction is wrong, and the purpose of our coming here is not to experience the most basic life. It's for another reason. ”

Feng Qingyi said: "I think so, there are more people who can endure hardships than us, and there are more people who can persevere than us, but there are not many people who can survive the test of this eighth level of dry area." There's always a reason. ”

"Now the question is. We couldn't find this reason. Zhang Baijian could only smile bitterly.

"Maybe the purpose of our existence is not to rest on our laurels, but to bring about some kind of change. Zhang Baijian thought about it and said.

"Change? How to change? We have no strength, and we are weaker than those villagers. We can't change them. Feng Qingyi shook his head and said.

Feng Qingyi's denial is something that Zhang Baijian disagrees with.

He knows that real change never comes from strength but from wisdom.

Power is not something that is possessed in the first place. It is not the best gift from God, wisdom is.

But it seems that it is not the time yet, the villagers here do not fully trust Zhang Baijian, and what Zhang Baijian wants to do cannot be done by himself now.

Another month has passed.

Feng Qingyi also couldn't stand the smell of night incense, so he chose to anger the villagers and expel him.

Feng Qingyi, who was wandering in the wilderness, starved to death in the wilderness.

Zhang Baijian didn't go to help him, because it was his own choice. Only by choosing the right way can he make up his mind to go on a complete hunger strike and starve to death.

Now there is only Zhang Baijian left in the entire Tianshui Village.

On the seventh day of Feng Qingyi's departure, Zhang Baijian successfully made a zigzag plough with the help of the old carpenter Uncle Zhao.

The appearance of the Quyuan plough helped the villagers to improve the cultivation speed, and Zhang Baijian also won the unanimous trust of the villagers.

At this point, Zhang Baijian completely joined Tianshui Village and became a member of Tianshui Village.

Tianshui Village once again returned to the atmosphere before outsiders came in, and it did not close its doors at night.

In the following days, Zhang Baijian made persistent efforts, and with the help of the villagers, he made a waterwheel, researched cement, spinning machines and other objects, which greatly improved productivity.

Zhang Baijian could clearly feel that a sense of power that was different from the past was filling his body.

He was no longer that weak, illusory feeling, but became solid.

Sometimes Zhang Baijian even felt that his soul body seemed to have the great power of a physical body, and he could do something that ordinary people couldn't do.

At this time, Zhang Baijian had been staying in the entire space for a year, and his fame in Tianshui Village had reached its peak, and only some of the village elders could match it.

Not only that, Zhang Baijian's research and invention is radiating towards the surrounding villages.

Just like unlocking the game, Zhang Baijian successfully found the new map after a year of hard work. This is a breakthrough that excites Zhang Baijian. (To be continued.) )
