There were houses all around, and people were running past the houses in panic. Some of the young women among them hurriedly ran into the houses and closed the doors and windows tightly.
Some young and strong men quickly rushed to the center of the village.
"Senior." A girl hurriedly ran over.
Wu Feng recognized her as the old man's granddaughter and frowned: "Are there still robbers here? Doesn't the Eastern Tang Dynasty not care?"
The girl's face was full of anxiety, but she immediately replied: "We in Longjia Village live in the wilderness outside the city. Only by paying a fee will the city's officers and soldiers come to clean up symbolically. The officers and bandits have no effect at all, but senior
Don't worry, our village has an agreement with the bandits. They are only here to collect protection fees and will not kill anyone."
"You don't give the protection money to the city, but to the robbers?" Wu Feng was slightly startled.
The girl smiled bitterly and said: "The fees in the city are too expensive. With the income of our village, it is difficult to pay for it for a long time. The fees charged by the robbers are relatively much lower."
Wu Feng came to his senses.
"Senior, I, I'll go in and take shelter first." The girl said with a blush.
Wu Feng nodded and said: "Okay." After saying that, he turned sideways and opened the door.
The girl immediately jumped in.
Wu Feng closed the door of the house, and then followed the crowd to the center of the village. He saw a large number of people gathered here, all of them young and strong men, and some were old women in their sixties.
Among the crowd, there were several figures sitting on horseback, looking arrogantly, looking down at the villagers. They felt like they stood out from the crowd. Each of them was carrying a short knife on his back, with a lean body, and cloth on his exposed muscles.
The hideous wounds that looked like earthworms were intimidating.
"Old guy, where's the money?" the leader, a middle-aged horse bandit, said coldly and proudly.
In front of his horse, an old man shivered, held out a money bag, handed it to the middle-aged horse bandit, and said respectfully: "Please accept it with your grace."
The middle-aged horse bandit took the money bag, weighed it, and sneered: "This year's silver coins will be charged 30% more!"
"What!" The villagers burst into an uproar, looking extremely angry.
The middle-aged horse bandit glanced at them and said coldly: "What, you don't want to pay?"
The crowd immediately fell silent.
The village elder hesitated for a moment, then took out another money bag from his arms and said, "Sir, this is my last possession. Please show mercy."
The middle-aged horse bandit took it casually, weighed it, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, brothers, go back!" With that, he patted the horse's head and drove the horse away from the village, followed closely by the other horse bandits.
, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Damn robber!"
"Insatiable!"
"If a person with spiritual bones appears in our village, you will be wiped out sooner or later!"
After the group of robbers left, the villagers immediately roared angrily.
At this moment, the village chief suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it down, saying: "Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to announce."
Everyone fell silent and stared at his thin body.
Although he was asked for more money, the village chief's face was not depressed, but full of excitement and excitement. He said loudly: "Everyone, our Longjia Village finally has an immortal cultivator with spiritual bones! This is our Longjia Village.
hope!"
Wow!
The whole place was boiling, and everyone looked at the village chief in astonishment, with expressions of excitement, excitement, confusion, suspicion, etc.
"She is Long Xing'er." The village chief said loudly.
"It's her!"
"It's actually Myolie!"
"Village Chief, is this true?"
Everyone was surprised.
The village chief smiled and said: "Some time ago, Lao Leng rescued a person from outside. Everyone should know that, to tell you the truth, this person is an immortal cultivator! After his identification, it was found that Long Xing'er had a spirit
bone!"
"What!"
"That person is actually a cultivator!"
"Oh my god, let me tell you, that person's body was so damaged and he didn't die, he must not be an ordinary person!"
Everyone was excited. When Wu Feng was brought back by the old man, many people in the village had seen it. Now when the village chief said it, they immediately believed it.
Wu Feng was startled. He did not expect that the status of an immortal cultivator would arouse the excitement and expectation of so many people.
In his view, the journey to becoming an immortal is long, with the possibility of death at any time, and is full of intrigues, and is not necessarily any better than these ordinary people.
At this time, several people noticed Wu Feng and immediately shouted in surprise. Soon, everyone's eyes fell on Wu Feng who was outside the crowd.
Wu Feng looked at them speechlessly.
"Immortal!"
Everyone shouted and knelt down, looking at Wu Feng with excitement on their faces.
Wu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, the spiritual power in his body swept out, lifting everyone's bodies, and said: "You don't have to be like this, after all, you are all my saviors."
"Immortal, do you think I have a spiritual bone?"
"Immortal, please give me some advice!"
The villagers were all excited.
The village chief squeezed out from the crowd, walked up to Wu Feng, and said respectfully: "Senior, I have a request. I hope that senior can escort Xing'er to the city, where there is a martial arts hall where Huayang Sect recruits disciples.
Xing'er's qualifications fully meet the Huayang Sect's conditions for accepting a disciple. If Xing'er is lucky enough to be accepted by the Huayang Sect, she will definitely be grateful to her predecessors for their great kindness in the future."
Wu Feng's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand and said: "This is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
The village chief said happily: "So, senior has agreed?"
Wu Feng nodded slightly, as he happened to want to give it a try. If he could enter the Huayang Sect, he would be able to practice like a fish in water.
If you practice alone, your knowledge and experience will inevitably be limited.
Joining a good sect and becoming a good master is the fastest way to become an immortal.
"I don't know when to leave?" Wu Feng asked.
The village chief immediately said: "We will set off in three days. What do you think, senior?"
Wu Feng said without hesitation: "Okay." He pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Can you please ask the whole village to come, and I can help everyone take a look to see if they have spiritual bones."
"Really?" The village chief could hardly believe his ears and looked at Wu Feng with great excitement.
Wu Feng nodded.
The village chief said ecstatically: "Thank you very much, senior. I will go and gather everyone right away."
When the others heard this, they all looked at Wu Feng in surprise.
Not long after, everyone in the village gathered together and looked at Wu Feng expectantly, feeling uneasy and nervous in their hearts.
This is the moment that determines their fate.
If you have a spiritual bone in your body, you can fly to the nine heavens from now on.
On the contrary, it will lead to a mediocre life.
Wu Feng swept his mind and quickly looked at everyone. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "None of them."
The village chief stood beside him. When he heard this, his face became a little ugly. Then he forced a smile and said: "That's right. After all, people with spiritual bones are so rare. If we can have Xing'er in our village, we will be thankful to God."
Everyone else smiled bitterly, feeling a little frustrated.
"Okay, everyone, please go back." The village chief said loudly.
