Chapter 125 [If you don’t fight, you won’t recognize the monster that attacks at night]
Ge Xian temporarily lived in Daoxiang Village. Through the records on the clock, he knew that one year had passed since he had actually arrived in the spiritual world. One year had passed since he had refined the evil spirit inside the big tree and refined the Dharma. In addition, After running around all day and night yesterday, I really felt that I should take a rest.
He has a relatively happy-go-lucky personality. Under the arrangement of Village Chief Wei, he lived in a wing on the east side of his home.
"Dear guest, do you need hot water here?" A sweet girl's voice sounded from the door. Ge Xian opened the door and found that it was Aunt Wei, the daughter of Village Chief Wei.
After some small talk with Village Chief Wei, coupled with his super understanding, his level of ancient dialect has improved very quickly, and he has been able to communicate with locals like Village Chief Wei for the first time, and it is easy to deal with daily life.
The girl has a slender figure, and her face looks even smaller against the backdrop of her long bangs, making her look as big as a palm.
"How to do this, I can do it myself." Ge Xian gradually followed the local customs, and his speaking style became more refined. However, he had never been served like this before. He quickly stretched out his hand to get the water. The other person was immediately frightened. Probably no man would If you do this, your hands may not be strong enough, and the tub will suddenly turn outward.
Seeing that the hot water tub was about to topple over and the hot water would pour on Ge Xian, Wei Gu's face turned pale.
However, the next moment, her eyes blurred, and she realized that the barrel seemed to be being straightened up by a hand from a distance, and then with a light touch, Ge Xian took it over.
"Thank you, Aunt Wei, go to bed." Ge Xian put the tub on the table and said to her, cupping his hands.
Wei Gu's face turned red and she quickly bowed her head and exited.
"Compared to the human race in the human world, the human race here is still too conservative in their concepts. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing." Ge Xian smiled and simply washed up, which was better than nothing.
After a night of meditation, the night here is twice as long as the human world, so it seems particularly long.
In the early morning of the next day, Ge Xian got out of bed refreshed. Seeing that it was quiet in the courtyard, Village Chief Wei and his family should not have gotten up, so he went out on his own. His consciousness had not yet unfolded at this time. It is not cost-effective to maintain consciousness all the time. Energy is consumed at an accelerated rate every moment, making fatigue more likely.
Drink, drink, drink...
The village was generally peaceful, but not everyone was sleeping. At least the sound of martial arts training came from the center of the village, which made Ge Xian a little curious.
After walking a few steps, I met young people walking in twos and threes, as well as middle-aged men and women who looked like martial arts masters.
The posture and physique of these people are obviously different from those in the village. They appear stronger and more well-proportioned and slender.
"Could he be a warrior from the spiritual world?" Ge Xian thought of this. When the others saw him, their attitude was better than last night. They all bowed to him and saluted, and Ge Xian also returned the salute.
"Is there a custom of teaching martial arts in the village?" Ge Xian asked curiously.
A young man who was less than twenty years old nodded and replied: "This is the most basic thing. If you want to survive in this world, you have to strengthen your body so that you can go out hunting or find other jobs."
Another person also said: "Even the elderly and children must exercise regularly, but they don't have to get up as early as us and work so hard. In short, the immortal masters of Tianmu Sect have always taught us that all things compete, and only the strong can Proud in the world.”
Several other people nodded in approval, their eyes filled with ambition, even those who were martial arts masters.
Finally arriving on the road, I immediately saw an impressive scene. It was about a mile away from the entrance to the village last night. Four tall ancient trees, whose crowns were probably at least a thousand years old, formed a martial arts training ground. Some stones and river sand were used to pave a stone platform about three meters high. On it, dozens of people were boxing with the martial artists and practicing a rough boxing technique.
Several young men and martial arts masters around him quickly entered the martial arts field, jumped onto the high platform, and joined in. The number of people in the village was close to half.
Ge Xian observed that these people are generally considered young people, and they are all under thirty years old, and many of them are even under twenty years old. The age of martial arts masters is basically between thirty and forty, and there are also many. to the age of thirty.
Under his induction, the aura and energy displayed by these people's auras were much stronger than those of mortal warriors in the human world. What was running in their bodies was not true energy, but spiritual power.
Yes, the warriors here also practice spiritual energy, and what they refine is spiritual power, not the warrior's true energy.
Their realm is closer to that of acquired monks, generally at the early stage, while martial artists can reach the middle stage. The most powerful martial artist looks like he is only in his thirties, but his aura is very deep and introverted, which is the most terrifying. This person may have The level acquired in the later stages and even at the peak is comparable to that of a great master of martial arts in the human world.
A hawk-like gaze came over, and Ge Xian found that the man with deep but restrained eyes noticed him, and then explained to the people next to him. Then a female martial artist stopped practicing martial arts, turned over and got off the high platform, and walked for more than ten years. Bu then came to him.
"May I ask if you are a stranger who came to this village yesterday?" The woman is nearly 1.7 meters tall. Although she looks weak, her spiritual power is constantly flowing through her skin. She is a master.
Ge Xian nodded and replied: "That's right. Could it be that no one else is allowed to watch the martial arts here? Then I'll just leave."
"It doesn't matter. We are only practicing ordinary boxing skills. It doesn't matter if you take a look. But our leader would like to ask you if you are interested in practicing?" The woman's eyes were a little excited, and she didn't know what she was looking forward to.
Ge Xian was about to shake his head and refuse, but found that the leader man came to him with faster movement speed. He was indeed a first-class master, even better than Shu Lao, Li Xian and the others.
"Your Majesty, do you disdain to fight with me?" The man's figure changed and blocked Ge Xian's retreat, making him unhappy.
"Do you have to be so aggressive?" Ge Xian looked at the other party with a bad look in his eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, which even affected the martial arts practitioners on the training ground.
When the man saw this, he still said reluctantly: "Please give me some advice."
Seeing that the opponent was so strong, even though Ge Xian knew why Qianglong didn't want it, he had no choice but to accept it. So the man and woman followed the man and woman to the high platform of the martial arts training ground. At this time, the martial arts practitioners and martial arts masters all stopped practicing and started talking. People gathered around to watch, leaving a passage open.
The opponent's body swayed and landed on the table. Many people even felt that he was just walking up, and the height of three meters seemed not to exist at all.
When it was Ge Xian's turn, everyone's eyes were glaring, and the female martial artist next to him was also staring at him sharply, wanting to see what kind of posture he would be in.
However, soon, everyone showed disappointed expressions, and saw that he simply jumped up. Although it was very easy, he was obviously different from the leader man just now.
When he came to the circle in the center of the martial arts training ground, the opponent's eyes looked a little disdainful and even angry, and he casually gave him a fist, which was regarded as a salute between warriors.
Ge Xian also cupped his fists in return, then made an invitation gesture, and then casually made a hand gesture, which looked full of flaws.
"Is this stranger a liar?"
"It's possible that you can't feel the flow of spiritual power."
"But the guards who beat up the village last night are the real deal."
"That's just a matter of strength. There's nothing clever about the moves."
"The village chief calls him Immortal Master. He might be as powerful as the Immortal Master of Tianmu Sect."
"I don't believe it. How could the Immortal Master be so casual? All the registered disciples of the Tianmu Sect are more impressive than him."
Listening to the discussions of the young martial arts practitioners around him, Ge Xian seemed indifferent, but the man opposite him looked stern, as if he had thought of something.
There was no weapon, just bare hands. Seeing that Ge Xian's posture was very loose, the opponent randomly cut a gap and slapped him with his palm.
Failed!
The opponent was stunned for a moment, then he took advantage of the situation and changed his moves, changing his palms into fists, sweeping across Ge Xian's chest and abdomen.
Ge Xian dodged again, but did not fight back. The opponent's expression suddenly became more solemn, and then his figure swayed, and a fist shadow filled the air. It seemed that every fist shadow was his real body. The faces of the people around him changed. When he thought about it, If it were you, you wouldn't know how to face it.
But Ge Xian's figure suddenly floated through these fist shadows, appeared behind the opponent in the blink of an eye, and then cut away with a palm.
The leader of the men was also unambiguous. He turned around and blocked Ge Xian's palm. His posture was a bit like kneeling on one knee... The two of them maintained this posture for a few seconds, and then Ge Xian stepped back alone. , distanced himself, raised his hands to him and said, "How about a draw?"
"You're welcome!" The other party accepted it as well, and no longer dared to stop Ge Xian from leaving. Then everything went as usual, and the martial arts training ground returned to its previous atmosphere, but many people were thinking in their hearts, who won who? Lost.
When he returned to the village chief's house, he found that the village chief and his family had already gotten up and were having breakfast. The village chief saw him and warmly invited him to join him.
Ge Xian then told him what happened today, and asked him about the situation of the leader man on the martial arts training field.
The village chief sighed and said, "That man is the strongest man in the village, his name is Wei Wu. He once came to ask for marriage."
Ge Xian was taken aback and continued to inquire. Only then did he understand why the other party provoked him the first time he saw him.
Wei Wu is the guardian of Daoxiang Village. He excelled in his teens. Later, he went to Tianmu Sect to participate in the selection, but he could only become a registered disciple. Over time, he went down the mountain and returned to the village, serving as a guard. Relying on his strong strength, he became a guardian. .
He is in his early thirties and has never married. Until he met Aunt Wei, he shamelessly asked for marriage for the first time in his life. But at this moment, what the village chief said last night happened, an outer disciple of the Tianmu Sect. I also came to ask for marriage.
The village chief did not want Wei Wu to offend him, so he rejected the two people's proposals. However, the outer disciple was said to have spread rumors in private. He could not touch anyone he liked, otherwise he would be in trouble with him and would definitely kill him. He was so good-looking that no one in this village or the surrounding villages dared to propose marriage again, so Wei Gu was delayed.
"Village chief, is Tianmu Sect acting more domineering?" Ge Xian asked.
The village chief Wei Chengwen hesitated and said: "Actually, compared with other sects, it is better. There are very few people as kind and approachable as you, the immortal master. After all, they are all highly capable people. We are just ordinary people. Even Wei Wu It is difficult for them to take this kind of person seriously who was once a registered disciple of the sect."
"I understand, what are the village chief's plans?" Ge Xian continued to ask.
"I can only take one step at a time and wait and see. If that doesn't work, if the other party wants to use force, I can only risk my life to talk to the elders when my village pays the tribute rice to see if there can be a change." The village chief said. After eating, he got up and started to take his family to exercise. They were not practicing boxing, but practicing breathing and breathing. Both the elderly and children were required to do so. The same was true for women and children who were not strong enough. There were no young men. They were all people with excellent physiques. , it can be seen that in this world, only a strong body can be qualified to survive, and waste is not raised here.
After the morning boxing and breathing exercises, the village began a long day of hard work. Ge Xian also followed the village chief and his family to their fields.
Their family has about fifty acres of farmland. Can they do it with just such a few laborers?
Therefore, Ge Xian soon realized that he was too naive. Not to mention the village chief and his wife and concubines, who were extremely efficient at work, the fourteen-year-old Wei Gu was just like a cheater. She could do almost all the work in the fields. For personal use, it takes care of nearly half of the fields. Even with the help of animal power, it is still quite amazing.
The family only rested for half an hour, mainly eating rice balls, and then worked until sunset, which was close to twelve hours. It was a terrifying working time and a terrifying working efficiency.
Ge Xian can only help, not help. After all, he knows nothing about growing spiritual rice, but he does have some experience in medicinal materials. Unfortunately, almost every household in Daoxiang Village grows spiritual rice, and those who do not grow medicinal materials are probably wild and precious medicinal materials in the mountains. Too many to plant at all.
Only then did he realize that the humans here were not mortals in the human world and were not on the same level at all.
The appearance of the plant called spiritual rice is not much different from that of rice in the human world, but the overall height is three-thirds taller. Then in the evening, the spiritual field will emit bursts of grass-green fluorescence, and Ge Xian's spiritual consciousness will sense it. Next, I found that the rich spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth will be absorbed by these plants, so that their fruits contain the essence of spiritual energy.
According to the village chief, these spiritual rice are usually divided into low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade and fairy-grade. The first three grades are mainly for inner disciples, direct disciples and elders. Immortal rice is only qualified for those core elders and heads. Enjoy.
Although the spiritual energy essence contained in these spiritual rice is far less than that of spiritual stones, it has a special effect, that is, long-term use can prolong life.
However, the yield of spiritual rice is very low, with a maximum of dozens of kilograms per acre, or even only a dozen kilograms. If it exceeds a hundred kilograms, it will become an important resource and be taken back by the Immortal Sect.
The quality of the spiritual rice in Daoxiang Village is relatively good, with 60% of the harvest being of low grade, a little more than 30% of medium grade, and nearly 10% of high grade.
Because of this, Wei Chengwen, the village chief, was able to say a word or two when facing some elders of the Tianmu Sect.
After a period of time, Ge Xian temporarily settled down in Daoxiang Village. He was no longer in a hurry to find other people. In the spirit world, there would always be a day when they would meet each other, and even if he went to look for them now, there was no way to start.
The growth cycle of spiritual rice is about half a year, and it takes about one year in the human world, which is quite long.
It is now the harvest season, which will be next month at most. Therefore, Daoxiang Village is busy harvesting spiritual rice during this period, and even many martial arts practitioners in the village have suspended their training during this period.
Ge Xian also learned to grow spiritual rice in the tense and busy days. At the same time, he also made friends with many young people in the village. The martial arts masters gradually became familiar with him. Wei Wu, the martial arts leader, even became familiar with him. Becoming a brother who is about to take over, let Ge Xian experience another kind of life.
That night, Ge Xian was practicing martial arts. Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums in the village. He suddenly opened his spiritual consciousness and found that several martial arts masters were urgently mobilizing people in the village because there was an abnormal situation in Lingtian, and there were demons. Beasts come down to rob and destroy.
Immediately, the men, women, and children in the village mobilized and lit torches, and the martial arts masters and practitioners did their part. Wei Wu was already fully armed, and he also held a rare short sword with a shining silver light in his hand. At first glance, it is not ordinary.
When Ge Xian appeared, he found that he also saw a person who was rarely seen, that is, the only spiritual craftsman in the village who could forge spiritual weapons - Wei Youguang.
This spiritual craftsman looks a little slovenly, and he is probably in his fifties or sixties, but his body is still very strong and strong at first glance.
He was drinking wine and holding a big hammer on his shoulder, which looked like a weapon.
Seeing Ge Xian coming, Wei Wu immediately stepped forward and pulled him to his side. After all, he had competed with Ge Xian in private several times, and was tortured to pieces by Ge Xian. He had already regarded him as the guardian of the village. .
After coming to the village for almost three months, Ge Xian finally met this spiritual craftsman who had never seen the dragon before he saw it.
"Uncle Wei, this is the Ge Xian I often mentioned to you. My skills and strength are far inferior to his. With him here this time, I will definitely be able to drive away these beasts." Wei Wu said to Wei Youguang.
At this time, Wei Youguang stopped drinking, looked up at him, and said, "You look like a character. Do you have any weapons on your body?"
After Ge Xian and Thousand Machine Blades parted ways, they still haven't gotten in touch, and the only weapon around him, the Ruyi Stick, has not reached the spiritual level. At this time, seeing this craftsman who is said to be able to create spiritual weapons, he will naturally not let him go.
"Except for bows and arrows, can't we do it with bare hands?" Ge Xian asked disapprovingly.
Wei Youguang sneered, and Wei Wu on the side quickly explained: "Brother Ge, don't underestimate these monsters. They are not only more ferocious but also more cunning than wild beasts. The key is that the fur on their bodies is very powerful. Ordinary swords and arrows are If you can’t hurt them, you still have to use weapons, and they have to be spiritual quality weapons.”
"It's just, where can I find spiritual weapons now?" Ge Xian deliberately talked about him, which made Wei Youguang feel a little uncomfortable. He had a rough temper and couldn't stand it at this time, so he stood up and started from his side. When he touched his waist, there was a dagger with a length of about three feet. It exuded bursts of crimson aura and had the power of fire.
Seeing that a mortal like him actually had a wishful package, Ge Xian couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed the spiritual world, and it was unique in the human world.
"I will lend you this scarlet flame sword temporarily. You can use your own profound strength to activate the power of the flames during the fight. Don't let me break it." Wei Youguang handed the sword over, and Ge Xian took it, and immediately I feel that the sword is not heavy overall, and it does feel a little warm when I hold it, with sparks popping out from time to time.
Ge Xian has lived here for three months and knows that the mysterious power he is talking about is the spiritual power cultivated by Wei Wu and others. However, because they have not reached the innate level, they are all called mysterious power, which is similar to that of human beings. The true energy cultivated by world warriors.
With this spiritual weapon, Ge Xian suddenly wanted to smelt it and inject it into his Ruyi Rod to upgrade its quality to a spiritual weapon. He didn't know if this idea was feasible.
"I will definitely not disgrace the reputation of this sword." After Ge Xian took it, he heard the siren again. This time it was no longer gongs and drums, but whistles of different lengths, two short and one long. It seemed that the situation was critical.
"Everyone listen to the order, guard the spiritual field, never back down, follow me to kill and drive away the monsters!" Wei Wu directly jumped up high, over the heads of dozens of people, came to the outermost edge, and then followed his hand With a long sword glowing with green luster, the martial arts practitioners and martial arts masters rushed towards the direction of Lingtian.
Ge Xian also followed among these people. Although the elderly and children could not fight directly, they could still assume certain guarding responsibilities. He followed at the back, while the woman picked up food and medicines and chased the warriors in front.
He saw Gu Wei carrying two big boxes and running very fast, and couldn't help but remind her: "Girl, please pay attention to safety later and don't get too close to the spiritual field."
"Hmm... Brother, please pay attention too." After saying this, Wei Gu blushed and ran away because there were some married women making fun of her.
Ge Xian shook his head, knowing that the people here are quite martial, and it is not certain whether they will be obedient by then.
When we came to the fields of Daoxiang Village, fortunately, the monsters did not attack, but several nearby villages suffered. From a distance, they could see flames rising into the sky, filled with monsters, and constantly filled with roars of monsters and screams of people. The sound was like a flood gradually flowing over, slowly spreading to Daoxiang Village, which was only a few miles away.
Ge Xian frowned. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Just as his consciousness was about to unfold, he heard a familiar roar like an ox or a tiger.
"Is it the silver ape king?" Ge Xian was stunned for a moment, and then gave up on using his spiritual consciousness. However, although the roar sounded very close, it was actually still very far away. Probably this time the monster came down the mountain to attack the human village, and it might be the same as the roar. It's relevant.
"Coming!" Wei Wu roared, and then the warriors quickly put their weapons into position. Ge Xian first put away the red flame sword, took off the short bow and quiver from behind, grabbed a few arrows, and stringed them.
Rumble…
There were about a dozen monster beasts, two or three times the size of oxen and horses, with very long horns and thick fur all over their bodies. When taken down, they looked like heavy armored cavalry.
