When it was time for tea, the patriarch of Huling Village led Xueer and Alang to a wooden house. Although this wooden house was not luxurious, it was very neat. There was a bed, a table, and four stools in the house, all of which were made of wood and simple. clean.
"My child, you and Xue'er sit down for a while, and grandpa will get you something delicious." After saying that, the leader of Huling Village walked to a thatched shed next to the wooden house and brought out a porcelain basin with a wooden cover from the back. Return to the cabin.
"Come on, kid, eat something delicious." The patriarch of Huling Village said as he opened the wooden cover. Two steamed buns appeared in the basin, a portion of shredded weeds, and a half-eaten fish body with the fish bones lying around. , as if it had just been pinched twice. "This...?" A Lang couldn't help but frown when he saw the "delicious" food in front of him.
"Master..." Xue'er was about to say something.
"Xue'er, please wait outside the house for a while. Grandpa has something to discuss with this little brother."
"Oh." After saying that, Xue'er walked out of the cabin a little worried.
"Children, please try it. This is grandpa's secret delicacy." The chief of Huling Village said as he handed a pair of wooden chopsticks to A Lang. Before the wooden chopsticks were handed over, A Lang picked up the steamed bun with one hand and grabbed it with the other. Start eating the weed shreds.
"Huh? The taste is quite strange, it's different, it's different from the delicious ones made by grandpa." Before Alang could finish his words, all the delicacies in the porcelain basin were eaten. The leader of Huling Village couldn't help but wince when he saw A Lang finishing all the food, "How are you, my child? Is it delicious? How do you feel?"
"It's okay. It fills my stomach, but it's a bit salty."
"Oh, that's good." The leader of Huling Village glanced at Alang's palm for a few times, and stopped paying attention when he saw no change. "My child, thank you for sending Xue'er back to our village. Did you bring this nine-color lotus to Xue'er?"
"Yeah." Alang nodded lightly.
"My child, where did you get this nine-color lotus flower?"
"My grandfather gave it to me."
"Oh, how did you find Xue'er?"
"My grandfather left me here with you. I met Xue'er while I was walking."
"Child, where are you from?"
"I don't know, my grandfather never told me."
"Son, who are the people in your family?"
"Me and my grandpa."
"What about the rest?"
"No, just grandpa."
"Where's your grandpa?"
"I don't know, he went away."
"What's your grandfather's name?"
"I don't know, Grandpa never said it."
"When will your grandpa come back?"
"I don't know, you have to ask my grandpa about this."
"..."
"Child, I don't know why you came to our Soul Guardian Village, but I can feel that you have no ill intentions towards Xue'er. Grandpa wants to tell you something."
"Well, you tell me." Although he was not entirely sure, Alang intuitively felt that the leader of the Soul Guarding Village did not have any ill intentions towards him, but he would never forget what his grandfather said before he left. For him, the most anyone can do is It is 99% credible, and that 1% is impossible to achieve in any case, except for grandpa of course.
Seeing A Lang's calm and clear eyes, the Guardian Village clan took a long breath and said slowly...
"Ten thousand years ago, my ancestor of the Chu family managed to survive the war in the chaotic world. He founded a village in this remote corner and named it Huling Village. The ancestor ordered our clan to guard the forbidden area of the back mountain for all our lives. Our people cannot enter the back mountain until they have reached the realm of controlling spirits. In the mountainous area, restrictions have been set up, not to mention that monks above the spirit transformation realm from the outside world are not allowed to be introduced to our clan.
Alas, let alone the Spiritual Transformation Realm, our clan has never even had a single Spirit Controlling Realm clan member except for our ancestors. Now, as the head of the clan, I have only been able to reach the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm after practicing for more than fifty years. Alas, I am ashamed and ashamed.
As for outside monks, they are even rarer. Eight years ago, I went to Yuanshan Town to sell medicinal materials and found Xueer and his daughter by the Shenling Lake. At that time, Xueer was wrapped in swaddling clothes, and her father smelled of alcohol and could not speak. Seeing that they were pitiful, they were brought to our clan. I watched Xueer grow up.
Last winter, I took Xueer to Yuanshan Town to buy clothes. I met an envoy from the Spiritual Realm. He claimed to be the spiritual detective of Tianxintang. After testing his spiritual weapon, Xueer's cultivation talent was not seen in a century. He claimed that if he could find a nine-color Lianhua recommended Xueer to be a trial apprentice in the Tianxintang branch of Zhennan Prefecture. We have used spiritual stones to test Xue'er before. Xue'er's talent is higher than that of other children of the same race, but it is not as good as a hundred years of chance encounters. In addition, the nine-color lotus is such a precious spiritual material. I am just I had a chance encounter in the Book of Spiritual Materials, so I didn’t pay much attention to what the envoy said. Until today when Xueer returned to the clan with the nine-color lotus flower, I felt that there was an arrangement somewhere. Maybe the restricted area in the back mountain that our ancestors asked us to guard will finally be opened. "
Speaking of this, the patriarch of Huling Village looked deep into the lush forest on the mountain behind Huling Village. After a moment, he turned back and looked at Alang again, "My child, let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow my second brother, Taoist Ergou, will I will take you and Xue'er to Yuanshan Town to find the envoy. Since you can find this nine-color lotus, I believe you must have someone to protect you. I hope you can take care of Xue'er. My second brother has a bad temper. , but he is a good person, so don’t worry too much about him. Just take a rest at Grandpa’s place tonight. You sleep in the house, and Grandpa will watch over you outside. In this Soul Guardian Village, I keep my word, haha , I belong to the clan leader, I will send Xue'er to my third sister-in-law later, you don't have to worry about Xue'er, don't forget, this is her home."
Looking at the kind eyes of the patriarch of Huling Village, a trace of warmth flowed through Alang's heart. Maybe he missed his grandfather. He originally had many questions to ask the patriarch of the village, but thinking of his grandfather's words, his desire to ask questions was again suppressed. After suppressing it, he just looked at the patriarch and nodded silently, but he was less guarded in his heart.
