Before it got completely dark, a family of seven finally walked out of the forest and came to the foot of the mountain.
Under the dark blue night, I saw a semicircular barrier hanging upside down over the small village not far ahead, appearing and disappearing, exuding a dull pressure.
Of course, this is what Xu Qingyang saw. From the perspective of Xu Yue and other mortals, it was just a surprise to find a small mountain village ahead.
"There is a village." The twins excitedly pointed to the orange lights in front of them and shouted in surprise.
The two little ones were held on the shoulders by their uncle, one on the left and the other on the right. They sat high and could see far away, and they could spot the figures of people coming and going in the village at a glance.
It was the time when the farmers were returning to prepare for dinner. There was smoke rising from the village. Xu Dongbei twitched his little nose and sniffed, "It smells so good, it's the aroma of rice!"
Then he looked towards the large field of rice flowers swaying in the wind outside the village, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"There are actually a lot of spiritual rice planted in this village. It seems to be a village affiliated to a nearby sect."
When it came to this, everyone in the family didn't know why. Xu Qingyang explained while leading the family closer to the village:
"A village protected by a sect will be much safer than other villages. You don't have to worry about monster attacks at night."
After that, he raised his hand and pointed in the air, "There is also a mountain-protecting formation in this village. Although it may be an old formation that has been eliminated in the sect and has weak spiritual power, a village with such a large formation is by no means ordinary.
Small villages can compare.”
Generally speaking, they were quite lucky and were not thrown into remote mountainous areas where there were no human beings and no birds.
"Ah!" Xu Pingyuan suddenly exclaimed, "Heaven!"
Xu Yue and others hurriedly looked up into the sky and saw a white meteor moving at a very fast speed from south to north, crossing the mountain range they had just run out of, and then disappeared.
The whole family practices physical skills, practices immortality, magic, and spiritual strength. They all did not miss the elegant and handsome back among the shooting stars.
"Is that a monk too?" Xu Yue asked in surprise.
Xu Qingyang's heart stirred, and he nodded heavily, "But flying with a sword is at least a foundation-building monk."
He thought again of his glorious life in the past. Flying with a sword was nothing. He also had a flying spirit beast.
It's a pity that everything was reduced to nothing by a thunderstorm.
As the laughter and laughter in the village got closer and closer, Xu Qingyang actually felt timid about being close to home.
He was a little afraid, afraid that things would change, the world would change, and the Xu family would no longer exist.
Sensing something strange about the person next to her, Wang Pingping took two steps forward, quietly held the cold hands in the night, and squeezed them hard.
Xu Qingyang looked back in surprise. She smiled reassuringly at him and mouthed silently: "I'm here."
Xu Qingyang's heart felt hot, and he swallowed excitedly. His dark eyes suddenly lit up. "You" have fallen in love with me!
As soon as he said the word "you", he was silenced by an old shout from the village.
"Who from outside the village is here?"
Wang Pingping let go of her hand and signaled Xu Qingyang to go up to negotiate, but her big palm subconsciously grabbed it and threw it away.
Immortal Xu suddenly felt empty in his heart. He looked at the white-haired old man on a crutch who had appeared at the entrance of the village at some point, with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
…
Xu Yue, who secretly witnessed the whole process, held back her amusement and reminded softly, "Ah, senior brother!"
This is what her father specifically told her before going down the mountain. In front of outsiders, she should treat her as a brother and sister. This is not because she disrespects her elders.
After hearing his daughter's reminder, Xu Qingyang restrained his strong aura, walked forward seriously, and said to the old man:
"Xu Qingyang, a disciple of Xingmen, is going down the mountain with his fellow disciples and sisters to practice. They are passing by here and want to camp outside the village for a night. Is it possible?"
After saying that, he promised: "We will never disturb the villagers, and we will leave at dawn."
The old man is the clan leader of the village. He has attained the Great Perfection in Qi training. You can tell by the white hair on his head that there is no hope of breakthrough and his lifespan is about to end.
When Xu Yue and his group appeared at the foot of the mountain, he noticed it. He thought they were passing by and would leave soon.
Unexpectedly, a group of people were heading towards the village, so the old patriarch went to the village entrance to wait.
When he heard Xu Qingyang calling himself a disciple of the Star Gate, the old patriarch's serious expression suddenly relaxed and he showed a somewhat kind smile.
"It turns out that I am a fellow Taoist from the Star Gate. I am Zhu Yu, an outer disciple of the Spiritual Beast Sect, and also the clan leader of the Woshan Village. I wonder if my friend is under the seat of the real person from the Star Gate? Do you have the sect token?"
How could Xu Yue and others fail to hear the temptation of Chief Zhuyu?
This person was originally a disciple of the sect and seemed to know the Star Sect relatively well. If he couldn't answer the question, the consequences could be imagined.
Xu Qingyang knows best the caution of cultivators and the ferocity of the world of cultivation.
But judging from the old man's words, his sect is still there, and it still has its previous status.
I just don’t know what year it is now.
Xu Qingyang could only suppress the many questions in his mind for the time being and concentrate on dealing with Zhu Yu, the cautious outer disciple of the Spiritual Beast Sect in front of him.
Xu Qingyang, who was polite and polite just a moment ago, suddenly changed his aura, and his pressure increased steadily until he established the foundation.
There was also impatience on his face, and the "disdain" hidden in his eyes was revealed.
"The patriarch doesn't believe me?" Xu Qingyang avoided answering Zhu Yu's two questions, but narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The old patriarch was startled, obviously not expecting that the polite young monk just now would suddenly become like this.
But as soon as he felt the strong pressure from the other party, the old patriarch's heart skipped a beat.
This Star Gate disciple actually hid his cultivation!
Looking at the few people behind him, they didn't even have any spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies. However, considering that the level of monsters in the mountains they came from was not high, it was impossible for mortals to walk out safely.
The coercion of the foundation-building monks made the old patriarch feel a little breathless. He secretly used all his skills to resist, and only then could he speak.
"Zhu Yu was reckless, please forgive me, Senior Brother Xu!"
Xu Qingyang snorted from his nostrils. Not only did the old patriarch not feel that something was wrong with him, he actually felt relieved.
This is like a disciple of a large sect! His eyes are above his head and he despises everything!
The old patriarch secretly wiped his sweat and asked them politely if they wanted to stay at his home for one night. It would be good to build relationships with a large number of disciples.
Although the Spirit Beast Sect is not small, compared with Star Gate, it can only be considered second-rate.
The most important thing is that it is said that Star Gate disciples know how to tell fortunes and how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He was stuck in Qi practice for so many years and wanted to take the opportunity to ask himself if it was possible to reach a higher level.
Xu Qingyang smiled contemptuously and stared at the old patriarch. The old patriarch felt that all the little things in his heart had been seen through by the other party.
