There are children playing on the small road, and there are old people fishing in the shallow pond reflecting the sun.
This is a warm and simple little village. As soon as Alang was led to the willow tree at the entrance of the village, he was frightened by a loud voice, "Sister Xue'er! Sister Xue'er is back!" A group of children gathered around him.
"Sister Xue'er, where have you been? Why did it take you so long to come back? Grandpa, the patriarch, is very anxious." A child in the lead asked Xue'er hurriedly.
"Congdan, take me to the patriarch of the clan quickly. I have great news to tell him. I found the nine-color lotus!" Xue'er said as she pulled Alang forward.
"Wow, wow, Sister Xue'er, did you really find the Nine-Colored Lotus? The patriarch is at Grandpa Ergouzi's house, and he is still discussing how to find you and your father. Come on, let's find them quickly."
Suddenly, the children's eyes shifted to A Lang. As the eyes of the surrounding people fell on him, Alang tightened his grip, his body bowed, and he looked around quickly, as if his next move was about to explode suddenly.
"Hey, sister Xue'er, who is this brother wearing bird feathers?"
"Ah, I forgot to tell you. This is the great benefactor of our village. His name is Brother Lang. He helped us find the Nine-Colored Lotus."
"Wow, that's amazing. Brother Lang must be an amazing big brother if he can find the Nine-Colored Lotus. Brother Lang, are you hungry? Why is your stomach so deflated? You're about to turn into shrimps!" The boy named Cong Dan was confused. Look at Alang.
"Shrimp? What the hell?" There was suspicion in his heart. After feeling no dangerous aura, Alang straightened up, "Ah, when you say that, I'm really a little hungry."
"Let's go, Brother Lang, I'll take you to find Grandpa Ergouzi. He has a lot of delicious food at home." Before she finished speaking, Xueer held hands with Alang and ran towards the village, followed by a group of little boys, chirping. Wow, it's very lively.
After a while, a group of children arrived at the door of a house. The door of this house was very luxurious. The whole door was shining with gold. Two vicious stone dog statues guarded the door. The two characters "dog house" were even more dazzling. I don't know what was used. Made of a variety of materials, it makes you feel dizzy after staring at it for a long time. In stark contrast to this luxurious gate, there is only one shabby thatched cottage in the courtyard. At this moment, two little old men were discussing something in the shabby thatched house. One of them was lying on the bed with a wine bottle in one hand and dog meat in the other, eating happily. "I said, Lao Qi, don't worry, that old boy is not that simple. I tried him when he brought that girl to our village eight years ago. He was either an idiot or a peerless expert. I feel absolutely good.”
"A peerless master? He drinks all the time. Fortunately, he is very good to Xue'er, otherwise I would have kicked him out in the name of the clan leader."
"Hey, Old Seventh, don't brag. You, the leader of a clan who has been in the eighth level of the spiritual realm for more than ten years, still have the nerve to say that."
"Okay, second brother, don't laugh at me. Xue'er is a rare genius. This time, the spies from Zhennan Mansion have come to confirm it in person. As long as we can find a nine-color lotus, Xue'er will I will be able to take the examination for the inner disciple of Tianxin Hall in the name of our Soul Protecting Village. If I pass the examination, I will be the only inner disciple of the five major sects of our Soul Protecting Village in a hundred years."
"Tsk tsk, you had a pretty good dream. How could a spiritual detective come to our soul-protecting village where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs? I think he's probably a magician, or that girl doesn't have that talent at all. Otherwise, why? Can we find the nine-color lotus? Do you know what kind of treasure the nine-color lotus is? One flower can be sold for dozens of immortal gold stones!!!"
"Chu Ergou, I don't allow you to say that about our Soul Protecting Village. We are a village that has existed for thousands of years. There must be something extraordinary. I believe that the forbidden land in the back mountain will definitely allow our Soul Protecting Village to achieve greater glory!"
"Brilliant? Brilliant is a piece of shit. Just stop bluffing people with Murashi. Okay, okay. I'm too lazy to listen to your bragging here. I promise you to take that girl to try it once. Forget about her father's matter. I I always feel that her father is not a kind person. Although I can't find out, I feel that it is not wrong. My Ergou Taoist spiritual sense will not miss it."
"Okay, okay, I'll go find Xue'er first." After the patriarch finished speaking, he was about to stand up when a voice called "Grandpa Patriarch" came, "Xue'er, it's really you, you're back? Good boy, Where is your father?"
"Grandpa, I also want to ask you if you have seen my dad. Hasn't he come back?" Xue'er lowered her head and asked worriedly, holding the nine-color lotus in her hands, tightening and loosening.
"Child, don't be afraid. Your father has probably gone out to look for you. He must be fine. He may have gone looking for the Nine-Colored Lotus. Don't worry, don't worry..."
"Ouch, my God!" Taoist Ergou screamed and landed next to Xue'er. "Nine-colored lotus!" Another scream made Xue'er tremble with fright. The nine-colored lotus almost came to an end. After landing, Taoist Ergou took the lotus flower from Xueer's hand and quickly put it to his nose and sniffed it three times, "Humph! Humph! Humph!" He was enjoying it so much or was too involved that Taoist Ergou didn't even feel it. Pang Alang suddenly burst into murderous intent.
"Xue'er, did you really find the nine-color lotus?"
"Yeah, grandpa."
"Oh, grandpa, I forgot, it was Brother Lang who helped me find him. He is our benefactor!" After saying that, Xueer turned to A Lang, her previous worries lessened a bit and replaced by a bit of joy.
Everyone's eyes fell on A Lang, "Huh? Little boy, who are you? Where do you come from? How did you find this nine-color lotus? Tell me, what is your purpose in our village?" After saying this, Taoist Ergou stretched out his hand. He moved forward, trying to catch A Lang. Just when A Lang was about to use Netherworld Ghost Shadow, a figure blocked in front of him and slapped him out. With a snap, Taoist Ergou's outstretched hand was slapped back.
"Second brother, you have gone too far. He is still a child, and he has no spiritual power at all. How can you attack a child?"
"I'm not attacking him, I'm just trying to see if he's hiding anything. You also spoke too badly of me."
"Hey," Taoist Ergou said while circling A Lang, "I didn't notice it just now, but this little kid really doesn't have any spiritual power. Alas, although he is a bit ugly, he is in good health. Why? Does he have any spiritual power? A natural loser? This kind of kid is quite rare."
"Hey, you're still glaring at me? If you glaring at me again, I'll kick you over!"
"Haha! Spit!" A mouthful of saliva spat into Taoist Ergou's face. Taoist Ergou, who was usually very quick in inspiration, was stunned. This kind of situation had never happened to him in his more than ten years of practice. After taking a heavy breath, Taoist Ergou roared, "Ah! Ah! You bastard! I have to kick you to death!"
"Okay, okay, how can you be as knowledgeable as a child!" Taoist Ergou was grabbed by the clan leader again.
"Grandpa Patriarch, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see that this brother is hungry? He's starved to death, can't you give me some food?" The boy named Cong Dan spoke up again. Only then did Lang realize that he had subconsciously made the preparations for casting Netherworld Ghost Shadow again.
"That's right, Grandpa Patriarch, Grandpa Ergou, what are you doing? Brother Lang is our benefactor, how can you do this to him?" Seeing what happened in front of her, Xue'er couldn't help but complain.
"Ahem, cough, let's go, little one, go home with grandpa to eat delicious food. If you don't eat here, we have to thank you. Now Xue'er can participate in the selection of inner disciples of Tianxin Hall." He said to the Soul Protector Village. The patriarch dispersed the children, then led Xue'er and A Lang towards his home.
