Chapter 328 The Road to the Boss: The Village Chiefs Beginning (Part 1)
Watercolor depiction of green mountains and white mist surrounded by criss-crossing roads and meandering streams.
At the foot of the rolling mountains, there is a village surrounded by rivers and fields.
It is midsummer, and the spiritual rice in the Lingtian is growing vigorously. The green rice makes a rustling sound in the wind.
Farmers wearing bamboo hats are working hard in the fields, barefoot children are laughing and running across the field ridges, a few old cows are eating water plants on the river bank in the distance, and the melodious sound of the shepherd's flute is heard from nowhere.
.
Wang Chen rode a big green donkey through the country road beside the fields.
Several urchins followed him, trying to catch the big green donkey's wagging tail.
But their prank was discovered by the big green donkey, who suddenly spread his hooves and ran forward, splashing mud on the faces of several little guys!
"Wow~"
The kid who suffered a loss immediately burst into tears.
Immediately, a tall and thick farm man jumped out, stood in front of the big green donkey, and raised eyebrows at Wang Chen: "outsider, this is not a place for you to run wild!"
He has dark skin and a tall build, with bulging muscles and a powerful aura. He is ready to take action if he disagrees with him.
Wang Chen patted the big green donkey's neck, and the latter immediately stopped.
Wang Chen took out a scroll from his storage bag and threw it to the other party: "I am the new village chief."
This scroll was given to him by Luo Zhen and represented an opportunity for entry-level examination.
The task content of the assessment is to serve as the village chief in the previous village for three years.
Whether he can enter the Xihai Sect depends entirely on his performance in the past three years!
"village head?"
The burly man was immediately dumbfounded.
He took the scroll and didn't dare to open it. He scratched his head and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to ask my great-uncle."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Wang Chen didn't take it seriously and jumped down from the big green donkey.
He waved to the naughty boys behind him.
These three six or seven-year-old children were not stupid. They stopped crying when Wang Chen negotiated with the burly man.
They looked at Wang Chen timidly, lowered their heads and walked slowly over, looking honest and honest.
Wang Chen did not embarrass the little guys. He sat down on a stone by the roadside, took out three spiritual fruits and gave them to them: "Tell me about your village."
Seeing Wang Chen's kind attitude and the fact that there were spiritual fruits available, the three little guys suddenly became bolder.
They surrounded Wang Chen and rushed to tell Wang Chen everything they knew.
The village where Wang Chen took office was called Datian Village. There were 376 households in the village and a population of more than 1,800. It was considered a large village among the surrounding villages.
The original village chief of Datian Village disappeared into the mountains two years ago, and no one was seen alive or dead. In the past two years, all affairs in the village have been managed by the highly respected elders in the village.
The cannibals are soft-spoken, and a few little guys got Wang Chen's spiritual peach. The childish talkers have little mouths, and they say everything they can and cannot say.
When the burly man hurried over with a group of people from before, Wang Chen already had a basic understanding of the situation in Datian Village.
"Junior cultivator Chen Anhe, I have met the superior cultivator!"
A white-haired old man, leaning on a cane and a cane, saluted Wang Chen tremblingly and said, "I don't know if I am too far away to greet you when I come, so please forgive me."
A group of villagers following him saluted in unison: "I've seen Shangxiu."
"No need to be polite."
Wang Chen raised his hand and said: "I will be stationed in your village for three years. I hope you will work together to help me pass the exam."
A large village with nearly 2,000 people has had no village chief for the past two years. It is impossible to say that there is nothing fishy in it. Moreover, the villagers have three surnames: Chen, Xu and Huang. It is impossible for the inside to be what it seems on the surface.
So peaceful and beautiful.
The old man in front of me looks like he is frail in his waning years, but in fact, his eyes are shining with a deep aura, and he has the ninth level of Qi training. He is by no means an easy person to deal with.
But Wang Chen did not come to compete with the locals in the village for power, he simply made his intentions clear.
To prevent the other party from thinking wildly and stumbling upon you behind your back.
Although Wang Chen is not afraid, why should he hide it if it can save him a lot of trouble?
While speaking, he showed the aura of the first level of Zi Mansion.
As expected, Chen Anhe was shocked and bent even lower: "I am willing to work for the cultivator!"
Wang Chen immediately regained his momentum and said with a smile: "Very good."
Surrounded by a group of villagers, Wang Chen came to Datian Village and moved into the village main house.
The village main house is the place where the village chief lives, practices and works. It is a house with two front and back entrances. The scale and layout of the building are the best in the entire village, and the furniture and furnishings inside are all available.
When Wang Chen came, the house had been cleaned up and the ground was spotless.
This is actually normal, because there are a lot of monks in Datian Village. As long as they practice the art of cleaning, they will all be masters at cleaning.
Although I couldn't get a full view of the entire village.
But along the way, Wang Chen discovered that Datian Village has a sense of paradise.
Not only is the surrounding environment very good, but the houses in the village are all with white walls and black tiles, well-organized layout, green trees, clean and tidy, and everything looks in order.
In other words, without a village chief, there is no problem in the operation of this village.
Maybe even better!
This is not a good thing for Wang Chen.
Because everything in Otamura is good, it’s the same with or without him, so what can he do here?
Want to be the mascot of Zifu?
Moreover, Wang Chen had a vague feeling that the villagers, represented by Chen Anhe, were respectful to him on the surface, but in fact, there was a hint of rejection hidden in their words, deeds, and expressions.
Obviously, he is not welcome here.
This is actually quite normal!
After settling down, Chen Anhe held up a square seal and said: "Shangxiu, this is the village's seal of Datian Village. It is used to control the village protection array. Previously, Xiaoxiu was responsible for keeping it. Now it has returned to its rightful owner.
."
Village protection circle!
Wang Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that a village would have a large defensive array.
It truly deserves to be the West Sea Spiritual Realm!
After asking around, I found out that the village protective formation was not very large, and its defense range was limited to the village main house and the adjacent ancestral hall, which was the last line of defense for the village.
In addition, the village protection circle is not usually activated. Only when the situation is most dangerous will the person holding the village seal activate it to protect the safety of the villagers.
"Xiao He."
After Chen Anhe sent out the village seal, he summoned a pretty girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
He smiled and said to Wang Chen: "Xiao He is Xiao Xiu's great-great-granddaughter. Let her serve beside Shang Xiu and do some work such as serving tea and water and making beds and quilts."
Good guy!
These sugar-coated bullets come one after another!
Wang Chen glanced at Chen An and the shy girl beside him, and nodded: "Good."
