Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 205: Refugees Reappear

The old patriarch watched the hunting team go down the mountain. Just as he was about to sigh, he heard a hurried shout behind him.

"Meow meow meow" On the country road, the sound of rapid cat calls was heard, and a little lynx came running towards them.

The old patriarch was quick to catch the little lynx, patted its head and consoled it: "Your grandfather will find you something delicious. You are not in good health, so stay in the village. Come on, grandfather will take you to eat delicious food. You are in such a bad shape..."

Little lynx...

The old patriarch is now a little fickle. After playing enough with the wolf cubs, he starts playing with the little lynx.

However, the little lynx is very soft when you hug it and feels great to stroke it, but it is a little skinny, so the best ones are slightly plump and feel fleshy to the touch.

"Chief, the little lynx can't eat spicy food." said the little raccoon who was chasing after him.

"Then don't eat spicy food, eat meat. Oh, right, Hanzi is not making trouble in the Huawai Daochang."

After Hanzi practiced the Earth Spirit inherited technique, his physique became close to that of the Earth Spirit, so he was able to evolve his outer dojo. This made some people extremely envious.

"No, he and the fourth brother are in seclusion. Tu Lao will be watching them."

"That's good. Go and have fun. The old man will take good care of the little lynx."

"Yeah." The little fox skipped away.

"Meow" When the little lynx saw the little fox leaving, it let out a quick meow.

"Be good and listen to me, your Grandpa Fire will be back after a while." This was the animal words that Xiaoli said in response.

The little lynx in the old patriarch's arms, after hearing the animal language, immediately stopped making noise and started to enjoy it obediently, being patted on the head and killed.

Life returned to normal, and the autumn harvest came. The joy of the harvest made the villagers smile.

This is the simplicity of farmers. Food is the strongest backing of their joy.

The construction did not stop, water trucks were installed to irrigate the reclaimed land.

The construction of the wooden fence was in full swing, and the thorn forest followed closely.

The rain was drizzling down, and the thunder dragon provoked the dark clouds and was struck by lightning, letting the villagers know that their temple spirits were always with them.

As September approaches and autumn sowing is around the corner, tilling the soil has become the main theme in the Forgotten Township.

Hanzi and Fangkuai, who had disappeared for nearly half a month, appeared in people's sight one after another. In contrast, Xiaocao and Xiaoli disappeared from people's sight.

It is worth mentioning that after breaking through the sixth level, the block no longer babbles and has learned to speak.

On the sunny rock peak, in the pavilion, the soil layer was chatting with the old patriarch.

"Chief, this time when I and Cube go out to mine, we will store the ore in the underground palace and let the hunting team bring it back. After all, the capacity of the space bag is limited." Tuceng said after taking a sip of tea.

"You, the elder, have the final say on this matter." The old patriarch said in a bad tone.

Tuceng was not surprised at the old chief's attitude. He said, "Xiaocao and Xiaoli are in seclusion. Fangkuai and I are going out. Heizi is not in charge. So the chief will have to take care of the incense burning ceremony."

"It's easy. I will go to the village to preside over the incense offering ceremony, and Hanzi will preside over the incense offering ceremony in the township."

"Speaking of Hanzi, he wants to go out and play with us, you see..."

"The child is grown up after all. If he wants to go out and play, just let him go. I will let Lao Feng preside over the village incense offering ceremony when the time comes."

"Then we'll leave tomorrow."

"Okay." The old patriarch nodded and asked about Shang Liangshan's situation.

"Since the master has no inherited skills, he must explore the path of cultivation on his own, which means that he needs to make a lot of attempts and fail."

"Alas." The old clan leader sighed and said, "Liang Shan is too obsessed with freedom. Otherwise, as long as he nods, Xuanxu Sect will provide everything."

"Chief, have you ever thought that our master wants to take a different path?"

"Hmm" the old patriarch became alert and looked directly at the soil layer.

"The methods of Taoism are nothing more than canonization and cultivation."

"Is it not good to confer the title?" The old patriarch frowned.

"It's good or bad, I am an example." Tuceng said this, reminiscing, and sighed: "The benefits of canonization are nothing more than enjoying the incense of the area, holding a position, and obtaining some resources and protection."

"If there is benefit, there must be cost."

"Being controlled by others is the least of the worries. The most terrible thing is being controlled by the fate of the power that has appointed the emperor."

Hearing this, the old patriarch couldn't help but ask, "What are the consequences of being controlled by fate?"

"The strongest are only the top leaders of the forces, and they can extract your luck. This is why I have been practicing for hundreds of years but have not been able to break through to the sixth level."

"He's a beast." The old patriarch cursed, looked at the soil layer with concern and asked: "Old Tu, are you still controlled by others now?"

“Gone.” The soil layer shook his head and said, “The principality where I was located was destroyed in the disaster of the Yin soldiers, and the cause and effect were completely severed.”

"This is also one of the main reasons why I am still alive despite my serious injury. We all prosper together and we all suffer together."

The old patriarch came to his senses and looked at the soil layer and asked, "So this is why Liangshan is unwilling to accept the title conferred by the Xuanxu Sect?"

“No, no, no.” The soil layer shook its head and said, “I haven’t told the master about this, so the master…”

“I don’t know. The reason why he doesn’t accept the title bestowed by Xuanxu Sect is that he doesn’t want to lose his freedom.” The old patriarch helped Tuceng to express his guess, and the latter nodded.

"You and I know this matter." The old patriarch said solemnly while looking at the soil layer.

"I understand." The soil layer raised his glass.

The old patriarch raised his glass to greet him, and the two clinked their glasses together, expressing a tacit understanding.

Tuceng explained the pros and cons of enthronement so that the old patriarch could tell the truth when he faced a choice in Shang Liangshan.

Let Shang Liangshan understand the pros and cons of enthronement and think twice before acting.

As for why the soil layer doesn’t speak for itself, this involves the issue of identity.

Those who do wrong are always temporary workers. Those who understand know that if you can avoid it, just avoid it. Do things within your ability and think carefully before taking action. Don't blindly follow the success theory and rush into things without hesitation.

Phew, especially pre-consumption...

On September 9, Yifeng looked at the thousands of refugees who came with the caravan, who were in tattered clothes and skinny, and was in trouble because there was no place to accommodate them.

To be precise, the villagers' morale has been stable and they are unwilling to allow refugees to move in and disrupt public morale.

As the faith of Shang Liangshan spread thousands of miles away, the idea of ​​taking in refugees was diluted in the Forgotten Township, and the fact that refugees would come to seek refuge was gradually forgotten.

"Brother Feng, I really don't want to bring burden to Forgotten Township. These refugees caught up with us halfway." Yu Ye hurriedly explained under Yifeng's resentful eyes.

"Where did they come from?" Yifeng asked, rubbing his face.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ye said with a strange expression, "They fled from hundreds of miles away and were affected by the disaster in Jufeng City."

"By the way, according to the refugees, there are thousands more refugees behind them."

"As for why the refugees are fleeing to our side, it's because our side is safe."

"Strangely enough, despite the ghost calamity this year, we have been living exceptionally peacefully."

Yi Feng was stunned when he heard this, then he thought of something and said without getting angry: "The reason why you can live in peace is because the demons and ghosts are coming for us."
