The pace of Qingce Village is very slow, and most of the young people have gone outside to look for opportunities and work to make a living. Therefore, most of the people left in this paradise surrounded by mountains are the elderly and children.
The valleys shrouded in white clouds are dotted with rows of half-moon terraces, and you can see layers of colorful waves when the mountain breeze blows.
This is Qingce Village. Compared with the bustling and bustling Liyue Port, Qingce Village is a different kind of beauty.
In an independent courtyard in the south of the town, a middle-aged man was checking accounts with another young man.
The young man's name is Ouyang, and he comes from the Gui family in Liyue Gang. He is considered a branch of the family. When he became an adult, he was arranged to come to Qingce Village to manage the family's land rent here.
The middle-aged man's name is Jiang Cheng, a local. He is one of the few laborers who has not gone to work outside. Now he is Ouyang's helper here.
Now that the spring field rent has been basically collected, the two of them have been busy all morning and the accounts have been completed.
"Sir, it seems that this year's harvest is good. The rent is half a percent more than in previous years."
"Well, let's put these many half-achievements into the treasury and won't turn them over to the family. I will write it clearly in the letter when I get back."
"Okay, then I'll go and sort it out. I'll move it over when the family's fleet arrives in two days."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang. I'll leave first."
After leaving the yard, Ouyang walked towards his home.
The half percent deposited into the treasury should make the family's tenants live a richer life.
Putting aside his thoughts, Ouyang walked out of the town and headed east, walking on the country roads. What he saw was the vast tracts of terraced fields. It was almost lunch time, and smoke was rising from every household in the scattered villages on both sides of the road.
A peaceful look.
When he first arrived in this world, Ouyang was panicked. The body of an adult turned into a child. Although he did not fully understand the world background of the Genshin Impact game, in several mission texts like The Riddler by the production team, he
Know that this world is definitely not a 12 game.
Who would believe this if you are a serious person?
Fortunately, he was adopted by the family by chance. He was considered a side branch. Maybe it was because of the decline of the family members. Except for the core secret method, everything else was treated equally, just like the master's young master who entered the school.
Under their careful instruction, Ouyang also learned a lot of Taoist magic.
Unfortunately it's of no use.
Without the Eye of God, Xuanmen spells cannot defeat those abyss mages.
This world is very big, and Liyue is far from just a city like Liyue Port in the game. However, apart from Liyue Port, other places are still full of dangers.
Treasure Thief Groups, Qiuqiu People, Abyss Mages... Although these are not as common as in the game, it is common for slimes with various attributes to suddenly appear when walking on the road.
It's a pity that more than ten years have passed, and Ningguang's Qun Jade Pavilion has not yet ascended to heaven, and the traveler who wants to come to the world to find a wife and a brother or sister has not yet started his adventure.
Nowadays, Ouyang just wants to save money and apply to his family to settle in Liyue Port. It seems that with the blessing of his uncle, the safety factor of Liyue Port is still very high.
Walking along the path, carefully avoiding places where the energy of the earth's veins surges and the elements are active. After crossing two suspension bridges, you can see a courtyard in a large bamboo forest in the distance. It was arranged by the family for Ouyang
s home.
As the distance got closer, Ouyang gradually slowed down. Due to the terrain, the higher view here was very good, and he could clearly see the situation in his courtyard.
Looking over the low earth wall, you can see four guys in short coats enjoying the cool air in the courtyard.
have a guest?
Ouyang was a little curious, but he still opened the door to his courtyard and walked in.
"Hey, is this owner back?"
The strong man at the head was not afraid when he saw Ouyang returning home, but showed a greedy smile.
"We brothers, who are very tired, would like to use your precious place to rest, and we can also borrow some molas from you, do you understand?"
"Treasure Thieves Group?"
Ouyang ignored the small movements of the other three people quietly surrounding him, walked to the center of the yard, turned around and faced the strong man at the head and continued: "Don't you see my broken house? Is there anything to rob?"
"Hey, my eldest young master, I've heard about it before. You help a big family in Liyue Port collect rent. You have some savings, right?"
The strong man winked at his men, and with a smile prepared to surround the fat sheep in front of him, the hand that had been in his arms stretched out, and the dagger in his hand shone with a cold light.
"Stop playing tricks, hurry up and pay the money obediently!"
"well."
Ouyang sighed: "It seems that you haven't done enough homework. Who gave you the courage to walk into the array master's house?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for any reaction from the four people, Ouyang made a secret with his left hand, used his spiritual energy to communicate with the magic circle on the ground, and shouted in a low voice:
"open!"
The mountain breeze blew by, and the bamboo forest outside the courtyard rustled. The four members of the treasure stealing group in the courtyard were already standing motionless with dull eyes.
After the trapping formation was activated, Ouyang turned around and took off all the weapons on the four people and threw them aside. Then he ignored them and went into the house to write a note on the desk. He returned to the yard and summoned a homing pigeon under the eaves to let it fly.
Then he walked to the pile of firewood by the kitchen and started picking.
"This should be fine."
Weighing the wooden stick in his hand, the size and thickness were just right. Ouyang nodded with satisfaction.
He walked towards the four people, gestured at the angle, knocked them unconscious one by one, and then tied them up with ropes.
"call--"
If only I could have Shen He's strength.
After everything was done, Ouyang was a little tired wiping the sweat from his forehead. Even though there were only four people, it was really not light to carry.
At this time, footsteps were approaching from outside. Ouyang looked outside the courtyard and said with a smile: "Dacheng, please excuse me, these are the four."
"You said in your letter that you were captured alive?"
Looking at the wooden stick in Ouyang's hand and looking at the four people lying motionless on the ground like a puddle of mud, Dacheng asked with some confusion.
"Although they are a treasure-stealing group, if you really kill someone, you will be in big trouble."
"No, I just knocked him unconscious. Just wait."
After saying that, Ouyang went back into the house to get a basin of water, and fell on the four of them with a "swish" sound.
"Uh...ah...it hurts..."
The four of them woke up faintly. The strong man at the head looked blankly at the two people standing in front of him. The pain in the back of his neck made his thinking a little slow and he was speechless for a moment.
Putting down the basin and clapping his hands, Ouyang said to Dacheng: "Look, those of you who are still alive will leave the rest to your Qianyan Army."
"Okay, we will take care of it next, don't worry."
While talking, Dacheng took out a chain from behind and tied the four people's hands, and took them away.
The courtyard became quiet again, and Ouyang returned to the study and started reading.
Although the family teachings have some reservations, the core and basic "Guiyuan Zhenjie" does not hide any secrets.
In a family of formations, the spiritual power required to activate various formations is obtained through the practice of "Guiyuan True Interpretation". His qualifications are not bad, he has practiced to a great extent for more than ten years, and the family is also considering teaching some
The core secret method just needs to be carefully investigated.
It just didn't matter to Ouyang. He didn't have the Eye of God, and he couldn't achieve the ability of the Demon God. It didn't matter whether he learned or not.
No matter how much spiritual energy is released from the body, it will be like a breeze. Apart from being useful for operating hang gliders, there is nothing else.
A mortal who knows how to use Taoist formations can just survive in this dangerous world.
Everything is natural, these four words are the ancestral motto of the family, and they can be regarded as being implemented by Ouyang in disguise.
The reason why you still study hard is to live a good life in Liyue Port in the future and have a job, such as helping people read Feng Shui or something like that?
By the way, I also want to repay my host family's kindness for so many years.
