At the beginning when the carriage left the city, there were still many people along the way, but as we walked, there were fewer and fewer people.

Ning Changkong opened the map and looked at the villages circled on the map. They were all on one line, and there were five villages in total.In the world of cultivating immortals, where there are many ferocious beasts, ordinary people who do well can move into big cities, where they are safe and stable.

In the village, the nearby Zongmen forces can only regularly kill the more ferocious beasts to ensure the safety of the people, and the people pay a certain amount of money.

The area they went to was a village on the boundary between the two factions. Due to frequent changes of factions, the villagers often did not receive corresponding care, and the rent was not reduced. Sometimes they had to pay rent at both ends.

And this kind of disputed territory is the easiest place for evil cultivators to attack.

The speed of the carriage was fairly fast, and before noon, it was already approaching the nearest village.

The village looked peaceful. Under the big tree in front of the village, a group of old people were chatting and doing mending work, and a group of children were playing around under the tree.

Ning Changkong asked Wu Zhiyou to stop the car, he jumped out of the carriage, came to a group of old people and asked: "Grandmas, I'm passing by Baodi and I'm thirsty, can I ask for a bowl of water?"

Seeing strangers approaching, the old people were vigilant, and the children surrounded the carriage one by one, and were called back by the old people.

The leading lady saw that the visitor looked extraordinary, like a fairy descending from the earth, and was so polite, she nodded quickly and agreed: "Guests don't dislike the shabby home, so let's come in and drink some water."

Yang Xiaobao stopped the carriage, Qiaolan and Wu Zhiyou also got off the carriage.

The old people and children at the entrance of the village saw a few extraordinary-looking people approaching, looked straight at them, and started talking in low voices.

The old man at the head originally wanted to take people to sit in the house, but thought that his room was small and dark, and it was really embarrassing for such a high-spirited person to enter the house, so he moved out two benches and a small square table in the house, and took Bring out pottery bowls and water to entertain.

While the old people were busy, Ning Changkong asked a group of old people.

"Grandmas, why do you only see old people and children in the village, but not other young adults?"

"Oh, I heard there is one called, what is it?" The old man had a bad memory and asked his companion

"Ci'an Hall! It's Ci'an Hall that wants to build a Ci'an Hall in several villages near us. They also killed all the beasts in the mountains near us. Now we dare to go into the mountains!"

"You're talking too far," the old man who was asked hastily said, "Ci'an Hall is going to build a place to take care of the people in our nearby villages, and all the men, women, and young adults in the village have gone to help, and they serve three meals a day, including meat! "

"Actually, I think I still have strength, but they just don't want it!" Another old man said a little depressed, she was greedy for the bowl of meat.

Ning Changkong, who got the news, asked the old man to show the way. It turned out that it was built in the mountains behind their last village.

"May I ask if the elderly feel that there is something abnormal? For example, some young people were left behind and never came back?"

"That's their blessing. It says they can practice. After they finish training, they go back to the village. They don't have to be afraid of ferocious beasts coming from the mountains in the future!"

Ning Changkong and the others glanced at each other, there is a problem here.The old man also asked them about their situation, and Ning Changkong told the old man the reason he made up earlier.The old man quickly asked which family it was, and Ning Changkong quickly made up a name based on the village's Wangjiacun. The old man said disappointedly that he hadn't been to Wangjiacun for a long time, and many people didn't remember it.

Several people bid farewell to the old man and continued to move forward.

Ning Changkong quickly sent a text message to Li Ke, and a talisman fled quickly.None of these young disciples have the advanced communication tools like the Jade Slips, and they all use the most basic talismans.

Just as they left, an old man entered the house and said to the clay sculpture on the altar: "Xianjun Xianjun, there are strangers coming to the village. Three men and one woman are young people. They say their parents are gone. Those who come back to find their roots, I don’t think they are the children that can be raised in our village, they are so good-looking, as good-looking as a fairy descending from the earth, by the way, they said they are looking for Wang Jiabao, it is their uncle.”

Ning Changkong and the others didn't know that they were sold as soon as they left.

When I came to the second village, like the first village, there were a group of old people and children at the entrance of the village. There were not many young adults in the village. Fortunately, the crops in the field were growing normally, which meant that there were still people taking care of them.

When we arrived at the third village, the sky darkened.

Several people stopped.However, the villagers were very cautious, and a group of old people surrounded them asking questions.

Both Yang Xiaobao and Wu Zhiyou shut up directly to avoid leaking.

There is nothing wrong with Ning Changkong and Qiaolan cooperating.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The gongs and drums sounded, and a group of old people and children stopped watching them and ran towards the place where the drums sounded.

It turned out that the villagers came back.

Ning Changkong saw that most of the villagers' faces were sallow, and very few people's faces were abnormally red.

"Mom! I've been chosen!" A young man in his 20s rode on a horse tied with red silk cloth and shouted excitedly, waving his hands.

The big red silk flowers on the horse's head trembled with the horse's footsteps.

Few people can't understand.

"Ma'am, what's going on?" Ning Changkong asked an old woman next to her.

"That's because he was chosen to be the attendant of the immortal, and he will be able to be promoted in the future, and he can become an immortal. Hey, why hasn't my child been chosen yet?" the old man said with a bit of regret.

Those who came back on horseback were all young people, eight people, eight horses tied with red silk, and another eight horses, each of which had two or three people sitting on it.

Seeing their children sitting on horseback, some parents were moved to tears.

"Ma'am, what benefits do you get after being selected?" Ning Changkong asked curiously.

"Why are there not many benefits? In the future, there will be a horse in the family, and the selected family will have ten taels of silver. Although the young man has gone to cultivate immortality, he can't help the family with work, but there is a horse, and the horse can help of."

The village is lively and friendly, and every family is reunited. People who come back bring meat to share with children and the elderly.

Ning Changkong and others stayed at the village chief's house and were arranged to have dinner together.

The village head is over 60 years old, and his face is full of vicissitudes. Even though he is [-] years old, he also went to help. Most of the people left in the village are children and old people who have lost their labor force, and most of them are elderly women.

The village chief personally came to receive them, "Sorry, there are no decent dishes, please forgive me. We have paid rent on both sides these years, but people on both sides don't care about us. Our life is miserable! "

"It's all right now, with people from Ci'an Hall, we don't have to ask for help in the future. When the children are all cultivating immortals, we can come back and kill the beasts in the mountains by ourselves! Besides, the spirit stones used by immortal cultivators are precious. They never A little leakage between the fingers, we can all live a good life!"

The village head is dark and thin, but his eyes are bright, shining with hope, "My wife, take out that jar of rice wine. I am happy today. My son was selected as a fairy servant last time, and he stayed by the fairy's side to serve him." , hahaha, I am so happy to see you today, you all look like immortals, and you all look as good-looking as immortals!"

Ning Changkong blushed quickly and said: "No, no, we are ordinary people, our parents died, and our parents hoped that we could go back to the place where our ancestors lived to have a look."

"I heard it is Wang's Village? The people in Wang's Village have already developed, and their young people have been inspired to cultivate. Most of them have been picked up, and the rest of the old people are also living a life." It’s a good day, there is meat to eat every day, and people from Ci’an Hall often go to help. This Ci’an Hall is really doing good deeds!”

"Uncle, but I heard that the aptitude of a cultivator cannot be forced, and only one in a thousand people can cultivate. How can all the young people in my uncle's village have the cultivation qualification?" Ning Changkong asked puzzled.

Only then did the village chief realize that he had slipped his tongue, and quickly greeted him with a hey smile, "For dinner, you can go back and look for it this time. Your uncle may still be there, but the younger generation in his family may not be there. We are going to the Xianshan Gate in Ci'an." I went to look for it. Seeing that you are doing well outside, you may also be able to arouse your cultivation aptitude and go directly to the fairy gate, instead of working here as slaves for a period of time."

On the table are two plates of black meat, two plates of wild vegetables, and a pot of millet porridge.

The wife of the village chief distributed millet porridge to everyone, and smiled apologetically: "We pay rent at both ends, and there is very little food left at home. I'm sorry, let's just make do with it. There are good dishes and meat to eat today. You should eat more."

Two children were sitting on a small bench beside them, drooling and looking at the meat on the table. There are guests at home today, and they can't go to the table, for fear that they will look ugly when they eat.

Ning Changkong and the others first thanked the old man for his hospitality.

Seeing that the four of them were all polite, the old man became even happier, and greeted them for dinner again and again.

After the village chief moved the chopsticks, the old woman put a piece of meat in one of the two children's bowls, and the two children swallowed the meat quickly, lest they would lose it if they ate too slowly.

Wu Zhiyou was about to grab the meat, but Ning Changkong kicked him, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

Seeing something different, Yang Xiaobao hurriedly asked the system: "System, what kind of meat is this?"
