From the first to the fourteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it can be said that Wang Chen’s life was completely disrupted.
Due to the large number of visitors, he was unable to spare much time for cultivation. He spent a lot of energy on socializing and socializing, and felt that his cultivation had deteriorated.
But this feeling is just Wang Chen's illusion.
He would be willing to do it again.
The reason is very simple, you are too soft to accept gifts!
Visitors come one after another.
As a foreign monk, although Wang Chen is a Zifu monk, his influence will not extend beyond the village when he serves as the village chief of Datian Village.
Even if he stirred up troubles in Datian Village, it would be difficult for the news to reach the ears of the big shots in Wancheng.
There are many Zifu cultivators in Wancheng, so what does a mere casual cultivator without foundation count?
However, with the title of "Disciple of the Xihai Sect", Wang Chen's identity immediately became different, and he instantly surpassed most of the Zifus.
Although he is still only a monk on the first level of Zi Mansion.
This identity gap is nothing short of a world of difference!
Wang Chen took a final inventory. In the past ten days, the gifts he had received totaled hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones!
Among them, the Song family and the Fang family gave the most generous gifts, with each family receiving more than 100,000 souls.
Wang Chen specially made a ledger and wrote down all the gift orders.
Prepare for future return gifts.
He was never the pedantic type to turn away this unexpected windfall.
But before leaving Datian Village, Wang Chen still had one thing to do.
That is to confirm the successor!
Wang Chen didn't serve as village chief for long, but he did a lot during that time.
For example, the establishment of a guard team, the establishment of a private school, the five-guarantee household and the work-point system. These tangible and intangible new things have brought huge changes to Datian Village.
As the saying goes, once he leaves, whether these things can continue is undoubtedly a question.
Wang Chen didn't want what he had spent so much time and effort to create to be ruined by others.
So he sent a letter of crane seal to Fang Hantao, the head of the Fang family in Wancheng.
Fang Hantao is the magistrate of Wancheng County, assisting the city lord/county magistrate in managing the political affairs of a county, and he certainly has the power to appoint and remove a village chief.
Fang Hantao was also very willing to give Wang Chen face, so the matter was quickly settled.
"From now on, Ota Village will be all handed over to you."
Before leaving, Wang Chen said to the new village chief: "If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, go to Master Fang Hantao and he will help you."
The new village chief is Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong has strong cultivation and is courageous and resolute. During his tenure as the guard captain, he won the support of all team members.
The most important thing is that he is a villager with a foreign surname and has no problems with the three major surnames.
In addition, Xiao Hong sincerely supported the new system introduced by Wang Chen.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Wang Chen recommended him to be the new village head of Datian Village.
Since the appointment was issued from Wancheng, several elders in the village did not dare to have the slightest objection.
"Xiao Hong should do his best!"
Xiao Hong knelt down on one knee and saluted Wang Chen: "Your Excellency, Xiao Hong will never forget you!"
Wang Chen saved his life.
During a hunting trip into the mountains, Xiao Hong accidentally encountered a ferocious monster. If Wang Chen hadn't taken action in time, his ashes would have been buried in the dust.
"It's not that serious."
Wang Chen stretched out his hand to help him up: "I have one more thing to ask of you."
Xiao Hong said quickly: "Please give me your instructions."
Wang Chen pointed at Xiao He who was standing aside: "Help me take care of Xiao He."
When he went to the inner sect of the Xihai Sect, his future was uncertain and he had another purpose, so it was impossible to bring Xiao He with him.
During this period of time, Xiao He has been serving Wang Chen carefully, with hard work and no credit.
Wang Chen didn't want her life to be negatively affected after he left.
Entrusting it to Xiao Hong is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Please don't worry, sir!"
Xiao Hong patted his chest and promised, "I will take good care of Miss Xiao He like I would my own sister."
Wang Chen said happily: "Good."
He took out a storage bag and handed it to the other party: "You and I are destined to meet each other. There are some things in there for cultivation and life-preservation. They are not worth many spiritual stones. Just take it and use it."
Xiao Hong did not refuse and took the storage bag with both hands: "Thank you for your generous gift!"
As soon as Xiao Hong left, Xiao He knelt down with a pop: "Sir, I don't want to leave you."
The girl knew very well that she would never be able to find a master as generous and kind as Wang Chen.
Wang Chen never regarded her as a slave, and even gave her the Foundation Building Pill to help her become a true monk.
It can be said that grace and re-creation!
"See you again if we are destined."
Wang Chen stretched out his hand to lift her up: "It's not that I'm heartless, but I won't be able to take care of you when we get there."
Xiaohe wiped her tears and nodded silently.
She knew very well that her strength was low, and following Wang Chen to the Xihaizong would not lead to the heavenly realm. She would most likely become a burden to the latter, so staying in Datian Village was the best choice.
Wang Chen touched her hair, and then gave the girl a storage bag: "Practice hard."
After settling Xiao He, Wang Chen no longer has any nostalgia for this place.
However, when he stepped out of the main gate of the village, he was surprised to find countless villagers standing darkly outside the gate and on both sides of the road.
These villagers from Datian Village knew that Wang Chen was leaving today, so they came here specially to see him off.
The three elders came forward one after another and offered drinks.
"Sir, please drink this cup of Baijia wine. I wish you can ascend to immortality as soon as possible and enjoy immortal blessings forever!"
The so-called Baijiajiu refers to the wine brewed from the rice grains of all families in a village, which represents the most sincere blessings.
Although Wang Chen served as village chief for a short time, these villagers felt real benefits.
They least wanted Wang Chen to leave.
Everyone looked at Wang Chen with hope and hope in their eyes.
"Thank you very much!"
Wang Chen drank all three glasses of Baijia wine, then threw the glass and said, "Let's say goodbye!"
It is impossible to say that he had no feelings in his heart at this time.
But now Wang Chen has long been accustomed to separation.
He activated his magic power to fly into the air, suspended in the air and nodded to the villagers on the ground.
Then it flew towards Wancheng like an arrow from a string.
He disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
After Wang Chen left, the villagers jointly raised funds to erect a magical stone tablet for him, which was engraved with Wang Chen's deeds during his tenure as village chief, as well as everyone's respect and gratitude to him.
As time goes by, hundreds of thousands of years later, Datian Village has long ceased to exist, but this stone tablet is still standing quietly among the ruins of grass, indicating a past!
