This period of time in the late Tang Dynasty was important to both the secular world and the spiritual world.
For the former, it was the Five Dynasties that succeeded the late Tang Dynasty, and the two Song Dynasties that followed the peace of the troubled times. The country's situation and spirit continued to decline. Even if strong men were born later, they could not completely reverse this trend.
For the spiritual world, the late Tang Dynasty was the era when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth declined most rapidly and severely.
Although the overall spiritual energy has been on a downward trend since the Jedi Tiantong, the rate of decline is not fast, and other worlds have always maintained communication with the local world. The monks can still live happily in the back world.
But after the mid-Tang Dynasty, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth declined with a diving force, and the splash was more powerful than the Luzon diving team. Even the strong people living in other realms completely closed the passage between their own secret realm and the main realm, and seriously warned those in the main realm.
Monk, quickly find a way to escape.
If you don’t run away, just wait for the hard days after your spiritual energy is gone!
Faced with an existential crisis, the retreat of the spiritual world began.
However, there are a large number of monks in the main realm, and only the middle and upper level can pass through the newly opened passages in the new realm. Therefore, during the retreat, it is inevitable that a lot of dregs will be left behind.
The scumbags also want to survive, but the door to the new world is not open to them. They can only pray to gods and worship Buddhas everywhere, hoping that other interfaces can accept their "refugees".
But most of the interfaces have been closed, and they are ignored at all. In the end, Qingqiu Country, which has maintained long-term friendly relations with the human race, is willing to provide them with a way out——
It takes a lot of strength to open the closed door again. The scumbags are not worthy of such sacrifices from the Qingqiu Kingdom.
But they can leave a gap, affecting the entrance to Qingqiu Country, where they can form an area for monks to survive and reproduce.
And this is the origin of Hukou Village.
Hu means "fox" for the sake of the kindness of the fox fairies of Qingqiu Country.
It's just that for thousands of years, there hasn't been much spiritual energy coming out through the cracks in the door, and it's been intermittent, so they can only use it sparingly.
Powerful and large-scale spells are simply put on the shelf, and the quality of life can no longer be what it was in the past. Every month, you have to try some natural treasures...
Later, life span was also reduced.
It is very simple for monks to live for hundreds of years after they have achieved success in practice, and their appearance remains unchanged. However, the spiritual energy is already scarce, and it is impossible for them to engage in cosmetic projects.
Moreover, if you live in a place where you don’t have much to offer, living too long is meaningless, and dying early is not a big problem.
Under such circumstances, there were even descendants of monks who couldn't bear the bitter cold and boredom here, gave up their reliance on spiritual energy, and ran away from the barrier to live as mortals.
I would rather become a mortal and give up the glory of my ancestors than continue living like this.
As for today, Hukou Village, which used to have a large population, has withered away and has a huge gap with the outside world. In the modern era that pays attention to demographics, it is even more difficult to find a place to stay in the outside world, and can only stick to the barrier.
The old village chief thought that life would continue like this until the people in the village had to fend for themselves.
Who would have thought that when I was gradually giving up hope, Chen Yuheng would be welcomed again.
Chen Yuheng understood it,
It turns out that these people are essentially a group of trapped beasts. No wonder they are so excited to see an outsider like themselves.
"But what about the elves?"
Since there were great migrations in the past, why didn’t natural monsters like elves follow them?
They stayed and suffered more than the descendants of the monks.
"I also walked a lot."
The old village chief sighed, "However, the elves were born naturally and are more settled than ordinary elves, so some choose to stay and coexist with the local practice."
"Dear guests, don't look at the small number of people here, but I dare to say that now, all the elves in the world are here!"
"But they are more miserable than us. We can still use some low-level magic to fool others, but they have no other power except their bloodline and appearance."
Otherwise, why would you raise your gun just looking at Chen Yuheng?
According to the normal painting style of elves, it is not allowed to summon a few tree people to give Chen Yuheng a root of an old tree?
As for the source of those firearms...
That was a problem left over from history. The old village chief couldn't say more, and Chen Yuheng didn't dare to listen.
The Elf King, who was dressed like a rooster, also bowed his head in despair, "We are such idiots..."
"Okay, stop talking now!" Chen Yuheng quickly interrupted him again.
"Okay, we pretty much understand the situation, it's not a big problem."
With Principal Chen's ability, he can already reach the level of "mind reading". He can tell immediately whether what the old village chief said is true or false.
This place...
It is indeed poor and broken.
If there weren't still people living there, it wouldn't be as good as the dilapidated house he originally bought.
"I can solve all your problems, don't worry!"
Chen Yuheng drank the small bottle of wine in one gulp and gave the old village chief a reassuring smile.
The old village chief burst into tears and almost slipped off the bench and knelt down in front of Chen Yuheng.
"Thank you, senior distinguished guest, for your help!"
"Then I dare to ask senior...when can you take us to the new practice world?"
Um???
Where will I take you?
Is there still any misunderstanding between us?
Chen Yuheng reacted and felt happy again knowing that the old village chief had guessed his origin incorrectly.
"I can't go to that new practice world. Even in Qingqiu Country, I can't touch the crack of their door...but I will take you to a new place and provide you with some help."
"Go and call all the young and old men in Hukou Village. I want to discuss schooling with you!"
ah?
So this guy can't move with them?
Not from the new world of spiritual practice?
The old village elder shrugged, feeling that his guess might be wrong.
But Chen Yuheng has real abilities and a good temper. He probably has his own cultivation method.
The support given to them by such a strong man should not be much worse.
So the old village chief didn't hesitate and called everyone in the village over.
Including the elves, they were all in their early 200s, including men, women, old and young. They were all dressed in retro and plain clothes and had thin bodies.
The only advantage is that the ability to use some low-level spells has reduced the living burden of the villagers in Hukou Village, so that they have not suffered from any serious illness and their limbs are sound.
After all, in such a bitter and cold place, and losing the powerful power brought by practice, it is inevitable that you will get injured.
They all looked at Chen Yuheng, whose dressing style was obviously different from Hukou Village's painting style, with obvious expectation in their eyes.
After so many years, I have only seen people from Hukou Village go out, but no one has come in from the outside.
This person...
It should be a variable,
A variable that can bring a new destiny to the whole village!
"Um……"
Chen Yuheng cleared his throat, stood in the center surrounded by everyone, and began his speech.
"I have opened a school in the mortal world. If you are interested, you can send your children to study there. If you have skills, you can also be hired by me..."
School?
The villagers of Hukou Village can understand.
Although they live in the barrier, they are not completely secluded from the world. In some cases, they will still go out to understand the contemporary background.
The submachine guns used by the elves are one example, and the old village chief also mentioned that some people who cannot bear the loneliness and cold will go out and settle in the earthly world to reproduce.
So after listening to Chen Yuheng's words, they just thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant.
"You teach people to cultivate immortality?"
"How many secrets can be taught?"
"We still have a lot of magic and sects here that have been passed down from our ancestors. Can this be used to offset the tuition fee?"
"Why do you teach people to cultivate immortality? We can't even do that here!"
The villagers asked questions one after another. Some immediately approached Chen Yuheng, while others questioned him for lying.
After all, today, the spiritual energy has not been restored yet, which is just one breath less than the great decline that forced the entire spiritual practice world to relocate thousands of years ago.
Hukou Village is close to the Qingqiu Secret Realm, and with the support of spiritual energy flowing from it, it is more suitable for practice than the outside world, but the villagers are still acting like this.
In this case, risk your life to become an immortal?
Chen Yuheng opened his mouth and said that he wanted to "educate the world and popularize spiritual practice". He regarded himself as the spokesperson of Warwick, right?
"It is indeed difficult to cultivate immortality in the mortal world," Chen Yuheng nodded, actually agreeing with the words of the doubters.
