The restaurant in Lijiazhuang is no different from the restaurants opened in the villages in Xuanyin Mountain. This restaurant is mainly provided for the wealthy worshipers and landlords of the village, and is also open to guests from surrounding villages.
Long Ao and others occupied the first floor of the restaurant, drinking and dining at the same time. It only took less than an hour for the people sent by the clan leader to return. They returned excitedly carrying the heads of the horse thieves. Using Long Ao's news,
This time, the group of horse thieves were completely wiped out, so Lijiazhuang was abuzz at night.
The clan leader came excitedly from the village to the restaurant and thanked Long Ao in person with sincere words. This surprised Long Ao. Aren't they just a few horse thieves? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
The clan leader invited Long Ao to sing together, but Long Ao didn't shirk it intentionally, so the clan leader asked the shopkeeper to open a separate table aside, and only Long Ao and the clan leader sat down.
Long Ao also wanted to ask the clan leader some things, so he agreed to sit down. After all, he didn't know much about the situation in the mortal world. It would be great if the clan leader knew the information about the guardians.
The two exchanged glasses. The clan leader was already a little tipsy, so he secretly admired Long Ao's ability to drink.
There were several tables around, and they were naturally responsible for killing the horse thieves. Of course, there were also several eighth-level worshipers who were here to protect the safety of the clan leader.
In fact, the clan leader is also an eighth-level warrior, and he almost has a glimpse of the realm of a ninth-level warrior. Now after talking with Long Ao, I know that Long Ao is an immortal cultivator.
"Young Master Long, please forgive my words, this immortal cultivator who came out of the white mist is actually the weakest here. It is said that most of the people who have lost the strength of the immortal cultivators are killed by the people here. Some of them are killed for some reasons.
Some died of poverty, some were killed by villagers, some were killed by horse thieves, officers and soldiers, etc. I really don’t understand why these immortal cultivators came to this area, they are really seeking their own death!” the clan leader sighed, rather
He looked at Long Ao sympathetically.
Long Ao was not surprised. This place is at the border. Even if these villagers know some rumors about immortal cultivators, it is normal. They often come into contact with immortal cultivators. If they don't know the situation, it would be a bit surprising.
"I wonder what the clan leader knows about immortal cultivators?" Long Ao asked calmly.
The patriarch glanced at Long Ao with some doubts, and immediately explained his understanding of the immortal cultivators. Among them, he only knew the power described by the immortal cultivators, but had never seen their power. Most of them looked at it.
As these people suffered here, they even took refuge in Lijiazhuang in desperation.
"To be honest, Young Master Long, Lijiazhuang has taken in many immortal cultivators, including men and women. Some of these people have even lived here for decades, and some have died of old age in Zhuangzi. Alas! What a sin!"
The clan leader sighed, his tone full of sympathy for these immortal cultivators.
"I wonder if the patriarch knows the guardian of the mortal world?" Long Ao began to ask key questions.
The patriarch's body shook slightly, and he immediately closed his eyes piously and remained silent for a long time. Then he said: "Guardians, only we people on the border know that they are the guardians of Zhuangzi from generation to generation. Without their protection,
, we simply cannot survive.”
"Oh, have you seen them?" Long Ao asked thoughtfully.
"I haven't seen it, I just heard about it. It is said that many people have seen the guardians in the first Zhuangzi away from Baiwu. They have been guarding here for generations, and they have never heard of leaving this area.
, and the further south you go, the less and less you will hear about immortal cultivators or guardians..." The clan leader told everything he knew frankly.
In fact, Long Ao really wanted to tell the clan leader that the guardian was also an immortal cultivator, but after thinking for a while, he still didn't say it. From the clan leader's mouth, he learned that immortal cultivators here are just like ordinary people, they will also suffer from birth, old age, illness and death, and their age
It won't be too long. Those guardians mainly guard the border. Maybe they think that after drinking the soul-eating wine, the immortal cultivators will no longer be a threat to the mortal world.
"Young Master Long, in fact, my mother was an immortal cultivator, but now she has died of old age. Several of the worshipers in this village are also the immortal cultivators who took me in at the beginning. One thing I have always found strange is that the descendants of the immortal cultivators practice martial arts.
, seems to be much faster than the descendants of ordinary people. Moreover, those cultivators themselves practice cultivation much faster than ordinary people."
The patriarch may have thought of his dead mother, and his expression looked a little sad.
The two chatted while drinking, and Long Ao couldn't help but smile. They had a plan to quickly pass through the mortal world. Since they thought that all immortal cultivators had lost their spiritual power when they entered this place, what else could they worry about.
"Long Shaoxia, I think you are a good person with all your talents! It will be difficult for you to move on with so many beautiful women! Why not stay in our Lijiazhuang! As long as you have the strength, you can become a worshiper in Lijiazhuang in the future.
, it must not be too difficult! Your descendants can also become respected figures in Lijiazhuang."
The clan leader suddenly advised him, perhaps because he was worried that Long Ao would be killed if he kept going south.
"Thank you very much, Patriarch, for your kindness! Since the lower class vows to pass through this mortal world, I won't trouble the Patriarch." Long Ao cupped his hands and said with a smile.
The clan leader stared at Long Ao for a few minutes, and then asked in confusion: "Young Master Long should also be a warrior! But after I investigated, how could it be possible that he only has the strength of a third-level warrior? Could he be hiding his strength? Otherwise,
How could those horse thieves give up their horses?"
"Well, the journey was not peaceful, so I hid a little bit of my strength. The clan leader has really good eyesight! I'll just drink here today, and I'll have to hurry on tomorrow."
Long Ao smiled and was ready to end the conversation with the clan leader.
"Young Master Long, please stay a few more days! I'm a little bit reluctant to leave Young Master Long so soon. When I leave, I'll send a few experts to escort Young Master Long! With the protection of the eighth-level warrior, I should be able to reach Anqing Town safely.
." The clan leader said sincerely.
"Clan Chief, no need! These masters should come to protect Zhuangzi! Chief, you have to work hard to practice. There is still a small step to reach the realm of a ninth-level warrior."
Long Ao revealed the clan leader's cultivation with one word, which shocked the clan leader. At this time, he also understood that Long Ao was at least a ninth-level warrior. He couldn't help laughing, and was very excited to meet a top warrior.
