"To be honest, I only came to this village three months ago, so I don't know the situation in this village very well. Fellow Daoist Yi must have also discovered that there is no spiritual energy outside the village, but the spiritual energy is neither available nor forbidden in the village. You can't even use your consciousness."

"This village is no different from an ordinary village in the mortal world, but it is isolated from the world. The villagers live and work in peace and contentment, and are self-sufficient. No villager has ever left this place. As for the others, I really don't know much about it."

Yi Lanshan sighed, and there seemed to be a lot of melancholy in his eyes, "Even fellow Daoist Zhang couldn't find a way to get out after three months here, how can we find an exit..."

She preconceived that Zhang Zheng was also trapped here and could not leave.

Zhang Zheng's eyelids were half closed, his eyes fluctuated, and he didn't try to explain it. She couldn't say that she didn't want to leave this place, but it would easily arouse suspicion.

Zhang Zheng raised his eyes, and said worriedly: "What are the plans for the future, fellow Daoist Yi and Fellow Daoist Yan?"

"The village head doesn't welcome us, so we can only inquire in the village first. It's best if we can find clues to the exit. If not, we have to leave the village in three days before making any plans."

Yan Shaoting, who was lying on the desk, suddenly raised his head, and asked bluntly: "Why can Zhang Daoyou stay in the village?"

This question was too offensive, and the tone seemed to be questioning her, criticizing her for having a way to stay and deliberately not revealing it to them.

Zhang Zheng's face was gloomy for a moment, but Yi Lanshan's face changed drastically. I knew that my junior was spoiled and rude, but I didn't expect him to be so speechless!

They are not familiar with the place of life now, and it is very likely that they will have to rely on Zhang Zheng, who is close to the villagers, to inquire about the news in the village. If they annoy them, they may really get out of the village for nothing.

Yi Lanshan gave him a hard look, and smiled apologetically at Zhang Zheng: "Shaoting didn't mean that, he was so spoiled, he spoke without thinking, Zhang Daoyou, please don't blame him."

"Shaoting, apologize to Fellow Daoist Zhang!" She sternly reprimanded.

Yan Shaoting obviously also realized that what he said was inappropriate, but just now he was dazed by the village's childish anger, and without thinking for a while, he cast his remaining anger on Zhang Zheng.

His complexion changed a few times, his pale face flushed like a monkey's butt with anger, but he couldn't say "I'm sorry" after a long while.

Zhang Zheng knew that he didn't mean it, so he smoothed things over peacefully, "It's all right, Daoist Yan is innocent, so you don't have to blame him."

"As for why I can stay here, it is also a coincidence."

"Three months ago, as soon as the Mountain Sea Realm opened, I appeared outside the village. I wandered around for a few days and came across the existence of this village. Like the two fellow Taoists, I asked the village chief to take me in for a few days."

"In those few days, I wanted to find something to do, so I cheekily helped the villagers plow the fields, carry water and irrigate the seedlings, and listened to the teacher's lectures to the children outside the private school wall from time to time. The private school teacher saw me as studious and polite. Kindly help me, let me be a book boy by her side, and help her tidy up her books."

"Because of my husband, I was able to stay in the village. I didn't tell the two fellow Taoists earlier. It was because I didn't think carefully."

Zhang Zheng's eyes were clear, without any false intentions.

Yi Lanshan gave Yan Shaoting a gouged look, and said hastily: "You Zhang Daoyou, why did you say that, you have helped us a lot, we are too late to be grateful."

Even if they already knew why Zhang Zheng stayed, they were helpless. Firstly, it was impossible for Mr. Kind Hearted to show kindness to accept three school boys in a row; Big, can also be regarded as reserved and self-restraining, how could he be willing to lower his body and work as a farmer to please a group of mortals.

Yan Shaoting's contempt for mortals is visible to anyone with a discerning eye, and her good upbringing allows her to hide it, but in her heart she still separates mortals and monks thousands of miles away, telling her to bow down to please mortals for a clueless exit, she would rather Find a way outside the village.

The method of imitating Zhang Zheng was quickly skipped by them by coincidence.

Before leaving, Zhang Zheng politely said out of friendship: "If you have any troubles, fellow Taoists, please feel free to tell me. If I can do it, I will do my best."

Back at the house behind the private school, Zhang Zheng pushed the door lightly and walked in. An oil lamp was dimly burning, which gave a little warmth to the gentleman who was wrapped in clothes and studying beside the desk.

There seemed to be stars twinkling in the black eyes, Mr. put down the scroll, curved his lips and smiled slightly, "I'm back."

She didn't ask what she was doing, Zhang Zheng sat down cross-legged beside her, and casually glanced at the title of the book on the case - "Jiuyiqi Lu Runji's Letter".

"Deeper and heavier, why haven't you rested yet, sir?"

The husband smiled very kindly, and his soft face was not beautiful, but it showed all kinds of warmth under the warm yellow light, which was dazzling. "The burden on the shoulders is about to be let go, and I feel relaxed, but I can't sleep."

Seeing her relaxed and joyful heart, Zhang Zheng also relaxed. If she can make her husband happy, her choice already makes sense.

"Sir, can the student ask you a question? If the teacher finds it inconvenient to answer, he will pretend he didn't hear it, and the student will not ask you a second time."

The husband gave her a surprised look, blinked, and said with a smile, "Of course."

"Why doesn't your face age like the villagers', sir?"

According to what the husband said, she has served as a husband for 79 years, and she should be close to a hundred years old, but she does not look like an old man at all.

Zhang Zheng had doubts buried in his heart for a long time. He thought it was because of the strangeness of the mountains and seas that no one in the village would age, but today when chatting with Aunt Huo, he learned that the faces of the villagers will age. Won't.

Looking for an opportunity to ask now, she looked at her husband's face without blinking, feeling a little apprehensive.

But the gentleman was taken aback for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes and glanced at the scroll on the case. His voice was calm and there was nothing unusual, "Mister's job is extraordinary. As for the mystery, I can't explain it clearly. The person who serves as a gentleman can always look good after the surname, and this can be regarded as a gift left by the first gentleman to the younger generations."

It is so!

Zhang Zheng remembered that Mr. once said that the first Mr. enlightened Taoism and became immortal, and then recalled the mysterious image of the old man and the child. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Sir, is there any record of the first Mr.'s life?"

"Mr. didn't leave any records. He said that these are just praises. What should be recorded in the book is the knowledge handed down from generation to generation, not him, a layman."

The gentleman mentioned this inexplicably complicated expression, which seems to be admirable and sad.

Zhang Zheng also feels a little regretful, it's a pity that he can't borrow a book to see the life of this ancestor.

"But don't be disappointed..."

Seeing the obvious disappointment on her face, the husband comforted her: "There are some words of remembrance for the husband left by the descendants in the ancestral land, and there are many records on it. After three months, you will be able to see it when you take on the surname."
