The child wearing a bellyband also had trembling legs, but he couldn't move.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Lu Li's voice rang in Goudan's ears.
Goudan shook his head repeatedly, wanting to say he was not afraid, but his mouth refused to obey him.
Lu Li smiled: "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I just happened to pass by here. I just heard you say 'there are immortals'. Have you ever seen an immortal?"
Goudan shook his head again, but then he plucked up the courage to say: "I, I haven't seen it... but the village chief said he had seen it, and said that immortals flying in the sky and escaping to the earth are omnipotent, and killing a tiger is like trampling to death. As easy as an ant."
"village head?"
Lu Li's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded, "Can you take me to meet your village chief?"
"me..."
Goudan stammered again, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Lu Li said nothing and walked directly in the direction where the short-sleeved boy was running. He had actually discovered that there was a village not far away, and he really didn't want to waste time with a frightened child.
Seeing this, the kid with a bellyband quickly followed Lu Li timidly.
Lu Li walked forward along a bare path in the forest. When he walked out of the woods, he saw a dozen huts built side by side. However, before he could get closer, a group of dozens of people came towards him.
One of them was the short-sleeved child who escaped before.
Next to the child was an old man in civilian clothes with his trousers rolled up. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He was thin and had many dark spots on his face. He looked like he was going to die soon.
However, although this man looks extremely old, he vaguely looks like a leader. Even some strong men seem to follow his lead.
No need to guess, Lu Li also knew that this person must be the village chief.
The villagers here, both male and female, are all dressed very simply. Lu Li's snow-white robe, which is not stained by the world, looks particularly conspicuous here.
Seeing Lu Li, everyone stopped in unison, some were curious, some were afraid, and a woman softly shouted to the kid with a bellyband next to Lu Li to let him pass.
The child quickly ran into the crowd and threw himself into the arms of a short, fat woman.
The old man, followed by several middle-aged men, walked forward quickly and bowed respectfully to Lu Li: "Junior Miao Fu, pay my respects to Senior Immortal."
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd behind immediately started buzzing with discussion.
The few middle-aged men next to the old man were secretly dissatisfied.
They had never been out of the island and had never seen a real cultivator. They felt that apart from being luxuriously dressed and good-looking, the man in front of them seemed to have nothing special about him.
He even speculated that Lu Li might not be as strong as himself.
What's more, at such a young age, how can he be worthy of the village chief's courtesy?
You know, the old village chief knows how to use the fireball technique. Even the tigers in the mountains were howled by the old village chief.
Seeing that the few middle-aged men next to him were indifferent, the village chief Miao Fu couldn't help but change his expression, looked around and said solemnly: "Hurry up and pay your respects to the senior immortal!"
After several people heard this, they reluctantly saluted lazily: "Greetings, Immortal Chief..."
Lu Li smiled dumbly and waved his hand: "No need to be polite."
Pack a few!
Seeing this situation, the few middle-aged men nearby were filled with contempt, thinking that if the village chief were here, they would beat you up.
Lu Li naturally didn't know what others were thinking. He looked at Miao Fu and continued, "I have some questions and I would like to ask your Excellency. Is it convenient?"
Miao Fu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Convenient, convenient."
Then, he greeted Lu Li warmly and walked towards his home. The people around him wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Miao Fu glared back.
There were several children in the crowd who seemed to be particularly curious about Lu Li. They kept squeezing towards Lu Li while walking, but they were pulled back by the sharp-eyed adults and whispered threats. They were so frightened that they never dared to approach Lu Li again.
Miao Fu's home is in the middle of this row of houses.
There is a fence and two bamboo doors. When you push the door open, you will find a small courtyard. Outside the courtyard gate, many villagers stopped. After watching the two of them enter the courtyard, they had no intention of leaving, so they started whispering outside.
Some people say that the village chief is probably out of his sight.
Some people also say that that person must have a great background.
Others said that the man was actually quite good-looking, and if he stayed here to continue the family lineage, he might give birth to a baby that was fair and white, which caused many people to burst into laughter.
This village has a small number of households, but it has a large population. Among the nearly 100 people, there are also a few girls in their fifteenth or sixteenth year old. They are smartly dressed and have good looks and figures. However, their faces look a bit healthy and dark due to the sun all year round.
Several girls gathered together, looking at Li Li's back in the courtyard. While talking in low voices, some couldn't help showing a look of anger.
Lu Li listened, but his expression didn't change at all.
He followed Miao Fu into the main room and sat down. Miao Fu took some tea leaves and wanted to make tea for Lu Li. Lu Li did not refuse. Miao Fu poured a cup for Lu Li and said with a smile: "It's just mountain tea. I hope Senior Immortal doesn't dislike it. "
Lu Li smiled softly and said: "We are all cultivators. There is no need to mention the word "immortal". How can there be real immortals in this world? They are just ordinary people who have never practiced cultivating and just praise the cultivators. Your Excellency You don’t really think that flying in the sky makes you an immortal.”
Miao Fu was stunned for a moment, obviously having difficulty understanding Lu Li's words: "Then, I dare to ask, senior, what kind of state do you need to reach to be considered a true immortal?"
Lu Li put down his teacup and asked unexpectedly, "Have you never been exposed to the path of spiritual practice?"
Miao Fu nodded: "To be fair to the seniors, although the juniors managed to reach the twelfth level of Qi training because of some ancient books handed down from their ancestors, but because there is no follow-up cultivation method, they don't know how to go in the future. Perhaps, then, In ten or twenty years, I will only die of old age like those ordinary people..."
So that's it.
After hearing Miao Fu's words, Lu Li finally understood that this person might not have a bad talent, but that he was unable to build a foundation because he didn't have the skills to practice later.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression and said immediately:
"I'll answer your question later. I'm very curious. With your level of cultivation, and even so many mortals who can't practice, how did you come to this island and survive on it? Woolen cloth?"
Seeing Lu Li's question, Miao Fu quickly explained: "Senior, I don't know something. In fact, we are not outsiders who moved to this island recently, but settled on this island a long time ago."
"It is said that our ancestors were once slaves of a certain Immortal Chief. Later, for some unknown reason, the Immortal Chief went out and never came back. Our ancestors were trapped on this island because of insufficient cultivation. ..”
