"Isn't there nothing we can do about it? The older generation won't interfere with us, and our peers will watch the show. It's just us two brothers. If we don't fight for the future, women will belong to others!"
Lu Chen was a little confused when he heard this, "What are the customs in the village?"
He really couldn't understand that even if Tiniu was not as strong as others, but Chiqing was willing to marry him, there must be nothing the Wang Chang could do!
"Well, Tiniu and my sister are the first in the village. Our two families are both orphans. We have played together since childhood, and our relationship is naturally deep. In the past, in the village, any girl would go to the party without picking the strongest one. My girl is too awesome to get married!" Chi Qing also shook her head helplessly.
Lu Chen suddenly realized that the entire continent respected the strong. He never thought that this was also the case in this mountain village. Cultivation was prevalent in the village, so the girls here naturally had to find the strongest.
Just like Bai Yuying back then, in order to find a stronger Taoist partner, she was forced to break off the engagement and used all means.
"Brother Tiniu, this is true love!" Lu Chen was sincerely envious. In this world, as a Taoist, there are not many people who love each other.
"The village has village rules. Even if we find our ancestors, it will be useless. Our ancestors will not show up for such a trivial matter!" Tiniu said.
He looked a little frustrated. There was a gap in strength between him and Wang Chang, so he couldn't blame others. He even entered the back mountain canyon again and again, but still had no confidence in defeating the opponent.
"Brother Tiniu, I have an idea!" Lu Chen said, pulling the two Tiniu closer.
"Is this okay?" Tu Niu was a little worried, as it concerned him for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry, even if you fail, I have a thick skin. Don't you have to meet your ancestors after the party!" Lu Chen blinked at the two Tiniu, "If I can't beat you, can't I ask my ancestors?"
After hearing the words, Tiniu pondered for a moment and was overjoyed. The young man in front of him could gain respect and trust, and his status in the heart of his ancestors was not simple. His ancestors would naturally help with such small things.
"It just failed and asked Brother Lu to come forward..." Tiniu was a little embarrassed. The whole village knew about him and Chihong, and he didn't want to trouble others. ap.
"The annual tribal gathering has begun!" Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, there was a sudden shout from the sentry tower. He looked up and saw Qishan. Below the sentry tower, a group of more than ten people were packing up the temporary stalls that had been set up.
"Tribe?" Lu Chen was surprised when he heard this. He thought this was a village where many people gathered together.
"Brother Lu doesn't know something!" Several Qi Shanqi appeared beside Lu Chen and spoke hurriedly after hearing this.
While guiding Lu Chen, he explained the formation of the village, "Suiren's family name?" Lu Chen frowned, having never heard of this surname.
"The Suiren family?" The elder Ge in the ancestral ring whispered, feeling that it sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard of it, but couldn't remember it for a while.
After some explanation, Lu Chen probably knew the origin of the village, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. After all, Qi Shan also guessed it from the rumors about the village.
There are rumors in the village that the entire village is a restricted formation. Most of them are descendants of the ancient sage Suiren. There are also many outsiders like Lu Chen who live permanently after entering the village and are not allowed to leave, completely integrating into the village.
"What?" Lu Chen almost jumped, "You are never allowed to leave?"
Qi Shan nodded, "You are not allowed to leave even if you enter the village!"
"I..." Lu Chen was speechless, "Brother Qishan, is it true or not?" Lu Chen still didn't believe it.
"Brother Lu, this is indeed what happened!" Chi Qing said, and Lu Chen's eyes turned black. Is this a prelude to imprisoning him for the rest of his life?
Even if there is a holy land for practicing Demon Heart Art in the back mountain, he doesn't want to stay in this mountain village all his life. He has a family on his back and even the fate of the entire isolated city.
"Brother Chiqing, don't fool me!" Lu Chen took a deep breath. The village in front of him was too mysterious. There were so many powerful people that he was not allowed to leave. With his strength, he could easily be suppressed.
"The rules in the village have been passed down since ancient times. I have never heard of anyone breaking into the village and still leaving!" Qi Shan killed Lu Chen directly.
"Where's the person in charge of purchasing? Where's the powerful person from outside?" Lu Chen didn't give up.
"The purchasers are the seniors in the village. As for the outsiders, they have a quick meeting with the ancestors, and the ancestors give special permission!
"
Lu Chen almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!
"Brother Lu, if you can't leave, you can't leave. The village has everything you need, and your cultivation speed is much faster than the outside world!" Qi Shan persuaded.
"Brother Qishan, I know why you are single!" Lu Chen patted Qishan on the back and walked forward without saying a word, feeling depressed.
"Chiqing, does my singleness have anything to do with whether I can leave the village?" Qi Shan asked Chiqing with a puzzled expression. Hearing this, the latter shook his head and caught up with the young man who had already left.
The once-a-year village gathering is when the whole village gathers together and everyone exchanges various things they have saved throughout the year. There are no gold coins here, it is all barter and transactions are done on the spot. Everyone is acquainted and it is extremely enjoyable every year. .
After all, by exchanging the good things you have collected at this time, more people will know about it, and it will be easier to exchange for what you need.
"This..." Looking around, Lu Chen felt something was wrong. He had been in the village for a few days and didn't seem to see many people. According to his guess, there were more than a hundred people. Now, looking around, three hundred There are more than enough people.
He had observed the entire village and found that there were only a limited number of stone houses and wooden buildings. Even if the entire village was built with stone houses and wooden buildings, it would be impossible for 300 people to live in it. He guessed that there was something inside the stone houses, but they had once blown away the stone houses and wooden buildings. , nothing unusual.
"Brother Qishan, how many people are there in this village?" Lu Chen couldn't help but ask. Just before he spoke, he had already seen nine figures walking out of a stone house that could accommodate four or five beds, including men, women and old people. As a child, he couldn't figure out how so many people could live in such a big place.
Qi Shan shook his head, "I don't know either. I have never heard of many people in so many years, let alone seen them. For example, I have never seen him!" As he said, Qi Shan pointed to a person walking in the stall. said the young man on the stairs.
The young man didn't look particularly old. He looked like he was close to twenty years old. He was of the same generation as Qi Shan. His actual age was probably a few years younger than him. Qi Shan actually said that he had never seen him at this age.
The whole village is so big, you can't see it when you look up and you can't see it when you look down. How could you not have seen it before?
"Brother Lu, don't believe it. I've never seen this guy before!" Seeing Lu Chen's disbelief, Chi Qing also spoke up.
Lu Chen was speechless. He really didn't know how to speak. It was as if he was living in the Lu family's mansion in an isolated city and suddenly a peer who had lived with him in the mansion for nearly twenty years came to him and he didn't know him. He really didn't know. Know how to believe.
"Huh?" The young man being pointed at seemed to feel something. He turned around and looked over. With just one glance, Lu Chen felt as if he had been seen through. The young man glanced at Chi Qing and his eyes stayed on Qi Shan for a moment. He stared at Lu Chen and walked slowly. .
"Believers?" He walked up to Lu Chen and looked at it from top to bottom. Then he stared at the ring on his finger. He didn't move at all, and his expression changed.
"Don't be irrational!" Qi Shan blocked Lu Chen behind him. He knew that there were some hidden thorns in the village. He started to practice since he was born. His eyes were higher than his head. He was very unconvinced by his respect for Lu Chen.
"Qi Shan? Great-great-grandson?" Seeing Lu Chen being blocked by Qi Shan, the young man spoke again.
"You know me, what great-great-grandson?" Qi Shan frowned, he had never seen this person before.
"Brother Qishan, he is talking about his great-great-grandson!" Chi Qing reminded him hurriedly with an ugly face.
"Is there something wrong with your great-great-grandson?" Qi Shan was puzzled, and then his face changed drastically, and with anger on his face, he waved his hand and punched the young man, "I am still your great ancestor!"
Lu Chen also had an ugly face when he heard this. Qi Shan helped him to block the other party. The latter said that he was Grandpa Qi Shan's grandfather. He was several generations older. No wonder Qi Shan was so angry.
"Ha!" The young man smiled but did not make a move, letting Qi Shan punch him and then pass through his body.
"Afterimage? So fast!" Not only Lu Chen, but even the powerful Chi Qing and Qi Shan were frightened, staring at the young man who didn't seem to have moved his body.
In the same place, the young man still stood there, looking at Qi Shan who lowered his fist, "You are so big, but your strength is too weak. How did Qi Mi teach you all these years?" The young man shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.
"Shut up, how can you call my mother by her first name!" Qi Shan shouted angrily. He knew the gap between himself and the young man in front of him, but the young man in front of him was young and calling his mother by her first name was disrespectful.
He was raised by his mother since he was a child. Even his surname follows his mother's surname. His mother is as important as a mountain in his heart.
"Qishan, shut up!" Before the young man could speak, a figure came quickly from the stone house in the distance. Seeing this, passers-by on the road began to avoid and prepared to salute, "Aunt Qi!"
The visitor was like a phantom. Before the words dissipated and the pedestrians had not moved out of the way, the figure had already appeared beside Qi Shan. It was Aunt Qi.
A figure stood tall with a complex expression, frowning and looking at the young man in front of him!
Qi Mi is the highest-ranking person in the entire village except for the ancestors.
However, the Aunt Qi in front of her is no longer the same person who has been holding a cane in her hand all year round and struggling to walk. At this moment, she is still old, but she stands upright, like a sharp sword born from the world, with so much momentum that she wants to conquer the world. pierce.
The terrifying aura made the void tremble and the village shake. Lu Chen had no doubt that the old woman in front of him could easily tear the void apart if she made a random move.
"Mother!" Qi Shan's voice trembled. He had lived with his mother for so many years and had never seen this scene before. He never knew that his mother was so powerful!
"Kneel down!" Aunt Qi spoke with force and force that could not be questioned.
"Yes!" Qi Shan knelt down. He didn't know why. His mother had never been like this and she had loved him so much since she was a child.
"Why bother?" the young man asked, trying to help Qi Shan up.
"My great-grandson's daughter-in-law calls you great-grandfather, and asks great-grandfather to spare Shan'er a favor!" Seeing the young man trying to help Qi Shan, Aunt Qi stepped sideways and stood directly between them. Then, her terrifying aura disappeared and she knelt down suddenly. .
