You said you would ascend to the immortal world, why did you end up in a mental hospital?.

Chapter 6 Village

Li Shouling found it hard to accept what he saw.

The huge eye in the sky emitted a dim light.

From a visual perspective, it is two times larger than the sun.

Maybe it's because it's bigger, or maybe it's because it's closer.

No matter which reason it is, it's a bit too scary.

He wanted to ask Shengyao what was going on, but when he thought about the fact that Cainu had told him that his third senior brother was very shy, he gave up.

Following the footsteps of crude drugs again, my thoughts were drifting uncontrollably.

The eyeballs are so big, and they even have eyelids. Does that mean there is a mouth somewhere?
Will it open its mouth and eat the planet it is on?

If I feel like I'm dead when I'm having an attack, does that mean I'm really dead?
Even if there is no mouth, will the eyeball suddenly open and stick out the tongue or something?

All kinds of terrifying thoughts kept emerging along with the dizziness of facing the giant.

Until he felt a pull.

Subconsciously looked at the ground.

The footprints of the herbal medicine went a long way and then turned back.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Shengyao. I was distracted by thinking about something."

The eye in the sky replaces the sun, and the hand of the master serves as a pendant...

Li Shouling shook his head and followed Sheng Yao again.

The two walked until the evening without stopping.

Thanks to the immortal power in his body, Li Shouling didn't feel tired.

He looked at the entrance of Zhangjia Village in the distance, then looked up at the sky.

The eyelids of his big eyes were half drooped, making the light dim.

Although it is not dazzling, it is impossible to look directly at it, just like the sun.

The sun hurts the eyes, but it hurts the soul.

When we got closer to the village, we found that they attached great importance to us.

About a hundred people were standing in two rows, with an old man with a cane standing in the middle.

A strong man was holding a wooden sign, but Li Shouling could not understand the words on it.

He guessed it was a welcome or something.

"I am Zhang Baihe, the village chief of Zhangjia Village, and I have brought one hundred and fifty-three people from the village to greet the Immortal of Caiyun Cave!"

He spoke with a rhythmic accent from forty or fifty meters away.

The village chief solemnly shouted out words of welcome.

The voice was so powerful that you wouldn't feel that he was a hunched over, white-haired old man with a walking stick.

A grand welcome followed.

This village, which is like a small market, is probably less than one kilometer from beginning to end.

The only two buildings that can be considered grand are the restaurant at the entrance of the village and the village chief's mansion in the center of the village.

Of course, this so-called style is only very limited.

A three-story restaurant and a two-story village chief's house, that's all.

Li Shouling was received in a restaurant.

When he said there were two people and needed two rooms, the restaurant owner and the village chief thought he was joking.

But when Li Shouling pointed to the footprints on the ground, everyone's faces changed.

Maybe he was thinking of something bad.

Fortunately, Li Shouling explained it.

"Senior Brother's cultivation is extremely high. Even among the immortals like me, she is ranked in the top three. You mortals are not qualified to see her with your naked eyes."

Although he couldn't see anything, Li Shouling felt that there was suddenly a pair of eyes on him.

It should be the gaze of Senior Brother Shengyao.

After arranging accommodation, the two were taken to a place by the village chief.

It was then that Li Shouling discovered that neither the restaurant nor the village chief's mansion were the most magnificent.

The most imposing one is actually their ancestral temple.

It is more than ten meters long and wide, and two stories high. What’s even more surprising is that it has a larger underground space.

“How many layers are there underground?”

"Reply to the Immortal, there are three floors underground."

"Why do we have to dig three layers underground? Is it related to local customs?"

"No, it has nothing to do with customs. It is to avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"Natural disaster or man-made disaster?"

"Yes, sometimes when there is a war, our whole village can hide in there, or like when there was a plague a while ago, we also escaped the disaster in there."

Li Shouling nodded.

It seems that the world is not at peace.

When it was time to eat, dozens of tables were placed on the first floor of the ancestral temple. As for why they were eating here, according to the village chief...

When immortals come here, the spirits of our ancestors in heaven will also be blessed with immortality and fortune.

This made Li Shouling a little flattered.

After all, in reality he can't even be called a hero.

Maybe Li Xiaoyao, who just came out of the Novice Village, is stronger than him.

Soon, dishes were served one after another.

Most of them are vegetarian dishes.

The only meat dishes were three plates of chicken and one plate of fish.

And it looked like all three plates of chicken came from the same chicken.

The village chief and some people who had prestige or status in the village sat at the same table with Li Shouling.

They toasted Li Shouling, led by the village chief.

"Once again, we sincerely welcome the immortals to come to Zhangjia Village!"

One table of people stood up to toast, while the others stood up and bowed.

The sound of hundreds of people shouting in unison to welcome the immortal made Li Shouling's ears buzz.

After all, Li Shouling was not yet seventeen years old, and he was quite uncomfortable with this, so he quickly waved his hands.

"You are so polite. I am a monastic who believes in following my heart. There is no need to be so polite."

The old village chief drank the wine in the small teacup.

"No, no, no, you can do whatever you want, but as mortals, we still have to show you the most basic courtesy."

A fat uncle next to him also spoke up.

"Yes, otherwise the ancestors would probably rebuke me in a dream."

Li Shouling smiled silently.

"Well, if I cause you to be scolded by the ancestors, it will be my fault."

He sat down, and then the others took their seats.

Only then did the village chief speak.

"Okay, let's have the feast!"

In one sentence, everyone picked up their chopsticks.

It seems that it is time to eat.

But everyone at Li Shouling's table was waiting for him to eat first.

Li Shouling looked at the other tables. Apart from a bowl of rice in front of each person and a plate of boiled vegetables in the middle of the table, there was nothing else.

Looking at my table...

He asked doubtfully, "Is the food ready?"

The village chief shuddered.

"Sir...Sir, are you dissatisfied with the food?"

Li Shouling shook his head slightly.

"No, I'm asking about other tables. Their food hasn't been served yet, right?"

Hearing this, the village chief let out a long sigh.

"Reply to the Immortal, everything has been prepared. Our village is small and poor, and this is all we can come up with."

As he said this, he pushed a plate of soy sauce chicken nuggets in front of Li Shouling.

"However, we can try our best to ensure that you, the Immortal, can have a meat meal every day!"

He paused for a second and added another sentence.

"I can eat it for eight days straight at most. Eight days!"

The tone seems so heroic and luxurious.

Li Shouling immediately had a clear understanding of the poverty of this place.

So he picked up his chopsticks first.

Afterwards, the village chief and others began to eat.

Finally, it’s the villagers from other tables.

Seeing the villagers with happy faces and eating with relish, Li Shouling had a clearer understanding of this place.

Except for Li Shouling's table where some compliments came from time to time, everyone else was concentrating on eating.

There is only one exception.

It was a little girl, with two magical feelings: dusty face and fresh spirit appearing on her at the same time.

She had no desk and stood alone, far away.

She glanced at Li Shouling from a distance.

Li Shouling saw it and smiled back from a distance.
