Chapter 51: Departure (Volume 1 Final Chapter, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Xiao Se wanted to leave, but under the village chief's every possible retention, he still returned to Fengshen Village with him.
At this time, Fengshen Village is even more lively than during the festival, and every household takes out the stored wine and meat and makes fragrant dishes, preparing to welcome the return of the hero.
Xiao Se looked at this scene, he felt a little sad in his heart, and looked at the village chief again, and swallowed back the words of resignation on his lips, but he couldn't refuse this simple folk custom.
Everyone saw Xiao Se and the village chief slowly walking into the village, and they all stepped forward to welcome them and took them to an open field in the center of the village.
Several middle-aged men were quickly setting up a simple wooden table, two and a half children brought two chairs, and the village chief and Xiao Se sat on them.
After a while, with a tempting aroma, one after another elaborate dishes were served on the table, and several elders of the village with more status pulled the village chief and Xiao Se to sit on the table.
"Come! Xiao Se Shaoxia, try it!" Several old men kept serving Xiao Se dishes.
Xiao Se looked at the rice bowl that had overflowed with soup, felt the enthusiasm of the villagers of Fengshen Village, and smiled sincerely.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Something seems to be missing?"
"Wine!" the villagers said in unison.
The village chief clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Old man Li, quickly take out the wine you treasured!"
"Haha!" With a burst of laughter, an old man held two large jars of wine and put them on the table, "It's ready!" After speaking, he took out another stack of bowls, filled the wine, and distributed it to everyone.
The village chief glanced around, every table was full of people, and no one was absent, nodded with satisfaction, and stood up, "Everyone is here today!"
"It's all there!"
"Okay! I'll say a few words!" the village chief picked up the wine bowl and said in a loud voice: "We are in the village of the gods, because ten thousand people have killed those bandits, it has not been so lively for ten years, a whole ten years! If it weren't for Xiao Se Shaoxia getting rid of those bandits for us, our children and grandchildren would still have to live in fear like us." Speaking of this, two lines of tears flowed on the village chief's wrinkled face, "You say, shouldn't we respect our great benefactor, Xiao Se Shaoxia, a bowl of wine!"
"Yes!" the villagers of Fengshen Village shouted loudly, as if releasing the mood that had been suppressed for ten years.
Xiao Se looked at the expectant eyes around him, stood up, held up the full, fragrant, transparent liquid like water, and raised his head to drink.
With a hot feeling dissipating all over the body, Xiao Se actually felt more comfortable than before, and the originally depressed mood was also much brighter with this bowl of wine.
"Good!" the village chief exclaimed: "It is worthy of being a young hero, and the old man admires it." After speaking, he and the villagers raised the wine bowl in their hands and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking a bowl, the village chief sandwiched a piece of meat for Xiao Se, and then asked, "Xiao Se Shaoxia, I don't know where you studied here?"
Xiao Se hesitated a little when he heard this, but he still didn't hide it, "I once practiced in Muyun Sect!"
"Oh, it turned out to be a disciple of Muyun Sect!Disrespectful and disrespectful!" An old man sitting on Xiao Se's left raised his wine glass, "Young man, the old man has envied you famous and decent disciples the most in his life, if he is a few decades younger, he must find a mountain gate to learn art!"
"Old man's words are serious, I don't belong to any sect anymore!" Xiao Se said calmly.
Everyone at the table was stunned, and then the village chief interrupted: "Xiao Se Shaoxia is young and promising, no matter where he is, he will shine!"
"Yes, yes!" said the people around him.
In the middle of the night, the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors. The village chief pulled up Xiao Se and walked towards the mountains outside the village, Xiao Se, who was drinking for the first time, was too strong to drink, and followed the village chief with crooked steps.
The village chief stopped at the foot of the mountain, a little drunk, and gently patted Xiao Se, who was flushed, "Xiao Se! Do you know why our village is called Fengshen Village?"
Xiao Se shook his head, the village chief exhaled, and continued: "In our village, there was a big man a thousand years ago, and that ancestor reached the peak of cultivation and finally became an immortal, and when he left, he left a formation, the Divine Formation!"
"God Sealing Array, what is that?" Xiao Se asked curiously.
"I haven't seen it either, but I've only heard my grandfather tell me about it, and the legend is that under the Divine Array, there is no way to escape under the gods!
"The price of such a powerful magic circle must be very high!" Xiao Se said in his heart.
The village chief looked at him, laughed suddenly, and then asked, "Do you want it?"
Xiao Se shook his head, "What do I want that God Formation for?" Everything I want has already been taken away!"
The village chief looked at him, did not speak, but sat on the ground, looked at the mountain in front of him, and sighed: "Ten years, we have been oppressed for ten years, and we are finally liberated today!"
Xiao Se sat next to the village chief, although he had never experienced what happened to the villagers of Fengshen Village, but he could also feel the pain of ten years of conservative bullying.
The village chief hugged Xiao Se beside him and said in the tone of a relative: "Child, if one day you encounter something unexpected outside, or you are tired, we will always welcome you in Fengshen Village."
This simple remark brought tears to my eyes.
Early in the morning, Xiao Se rubbed his drowsy head, looked at the sunlight shining outside, and smiled helplessly, yesterday, it seemed that he was drunk.
After getting up, Xiao Se simply washed his face and pushed open the door, only to see the village chief standing in the courtyard with a group of villagers.
"Village chief, you ......" Before Xiao Se finished speaking, the village chief interrupted him, "Xiao Se Shaoxia, we heard from Shui Ling's grandfather that you are ready to leave, I know that this small mountain village can't keep you, so I came here to see you off!"
"Oh!" Xiao Se smiled and nodded, "I still have important things to do, and I will definitely come back when I have the opportunity." ”
The village chief walked up to Xiao Se, took out an ancient scroll from his arms, and handed it to him, "Xiao Se Shaoxia, this ancient scroll records the formation I mentioned to you yesterday, the Fengshen Array!"
"This kind of priceless treasure is absolutely unacceptable to the younger generation!" Xiao Se hurriedly excused himself.
"Xiao Se Shaoxia and listen to the old man After speaking, this divine formation has been passed down in our hands for tens of millions of years, but no one has comprehended the mystery, you are young and promising, and you are a good person, don't shirk it anymore!"
"Yes, Xiao Se Shaoxia, you can take it!" the surrounding villagers responded and said.
"This ......" Xiao Se thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't bear the kindness of the village chief, so he nodded and accepted it.
The village chief took another package from the side and handed it to Xiao Se, "These are some coils, leave them for Shaoxia to use on the road!"
Xiao Se took it and opened it to see that the open surface was full of a bag of broken silver and some women's jewelry, although there was no large piece of silver, but this bag was wrapped around the hearts of the villagers of Fengshen Village, heavy.
Xiao Se looked at the package, then at the village chief, and said, "I want to buy something with this silver, is that okay?"
"Of course, these are already your entanglements, and you can use them at your disposal. ”
Xiao Se looked up at Li Laohan, "Uncle, I want to exchange these for your jar of wine!"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all lowered their heads, and the village chief sighed, looked at Xiao Se, but didn't say anything more.
"Okay!" Li Laohan burst into tears, nodded towards Xiao Se, and quickly took a jar of wine from home and handed it to Xiao Se.
Xiao Se took the wine and looked at the villagers. "These words, I bother everyone, don't bother with Xiao Se, we will have a date later!"
After speaking, Xiao Se raised the blue shadow and galloped towards the southwest. He was afraid that if he stayed for a while, he would be reluctant to leave, this simple village, these simple villagers, really made him nostalgic, but he had more important things now.
"Brother Xiao Se, you must come back again!" Shui Ling looked at Xiao Se's distant figure and couldn't help crying, and the surrounding villagers were full of reluctance.
Xiao Se glanced back at the Fengshen Village at his feet in the air, and muttered, "Even if many people want to harm me, at least they are sincere to me!" After speaking, he hugged the wine jar in his hand tighter.
"Dusk desert, I'm coming. I will exchange my dry tears for the blood of all my enemies. With a roar, a teenager in the sky flew away like a meteor in the southwest direction.
