A few days later, on an auspicious day, the opening ceremony of Changping Sect was held.

Jilong Port was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the people of Yizhou ushered in three years of happiness and tranquility. They supported the Changping Sect from the bottom of their hearts, especially the displaced refugees. They had a place to live and had experienced the war in the Central Plains.

, I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to escape the war and live and work in peace and contentment in this paradise.

The people of Yizhou were once brutally oppressed by the Ryukyu Sect, but now the Changping Sect, which upholds the belief that everyone is created equal, has implemented the "Changping Order" throughout Yizhou. From then on, Yizhou was rarely oppressed by monks, but some were

Monks who violated the laws were severely punished.

In addition, I learned from the refugees that life in the Central Plains would be more miserable than in Yizhou, so the hearts of the people of Yizhou naturally gathered around Changping Zong.

In three years, the Pei Jiamu Navy recruited more than 30,000 elite soldiers and owned more than 500 warships of various types. The military power was even more majestic than in the past.

Xu Tianran led Guan Tong and Little Dilong to walk slowly along the Red River. Guan Tong felt that the master had become particularly amiable and amiable as soon as he came out of seclusion. He did not force himself, a little slacker, to go patrolling the mountains, but took himself and Xiao Dilong with him.

The little earth dragon goes for a picnic.

In fact, after reaching the golden elixir realm, there is little meaning in tempering the body. In the future, more emphasis will be placed on understanding. Some people can break through the three realms and reach the land gods in one day. Some people can only stay in the golden elixir realm for the rest of their lives. They will watch over Tong He in the future.

The creation of Huyan Earth Dragon.

However, with the talents of Guan Tong and Hu Yan Dilong's Ten Marks Golden Pill, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no bottlenecks in reaching the Ascension Realm. As for whether they have the chance to step out on the great road, it depends on chance and cannot be forced.

Xu Tianran took Guan Tong and Huyan Dilong to Hongye Village and personally worshiped the mourning hall built by Qi Rongxuan and Gao Yang to commemorate the people of Honghe Village who were massacred by the Ryukyu Sect.

Guan Tong suppressed his usual smile and followed his master with a solemn expression.

Xu Tianran gently pushed the door open, and a beautiful girl walked out slowly. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she calmed down again. She said a blessing to the woman in green shirt, "Taoyuan has met the sect leader."

Xu Tianran cupped his hands and said, "Miss Taoyuan, there is no need to be polite. I'm here to offer incense sticks to the villagers. Is that okay?"

Taoyuan's eyes were red, and the smiling faces of the villagers in the past came to mind again. Although the timidity of the villagers was seen by Taoyuan on both sides, they were still his relatives and friends. How could ordinary people face the butcher's knife?

, how do you ask him to be brave?

Taoyuan nodded slightly.

Xu Tianran led Guan Tong and Xiao Dilong to offer incense in front of the mourning hall in Hongye Village.

Today, Taoyuan is also enshrined in the Changping clan genealogy and is in charge of Yinglingtang. His seat in the Changping sect is not low. Of course, Taoyuan can hold such a high position because of the glory of Qi Rongxuan and Gao Yang. Even more so, Taoyuan must understand

Stay true to your duty. After all, the affairs of the Hall of Heroes are all small and detailed matters. Only by doing every little thing carefully can you convince the public.

If Taoyuan relied on nepotism and became arrogant, acting condescending and bossy, Xu Tianran would not care about not giving Qi Rongxuan and Gao Yang face and would remove Taoyuan from the genealogy.

But when he saw Taoyuan living in the mourning hall of Hongye Village and cleaning the huge mourning hall spotlessly, Xu Tianran knew better.

"Taoyuan, you are already enshrined in the Hall of Heroes, why do you still live in the mourning hall in Hongye Village?"

"Reporting to the sect master, now that the Hall of Heroes is newly built, there is nothing to do except for daily cleaning. My subordinates will arrange the affairs of the Hall of Heroes properly on weekdays. Only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will stay in Hongye Village to clean the mourning hall, talk to my grandparents, and talk to my grandparents.

Let’s talk, folks.”

Guan Tong immediately showed a creepy look. Could it be that Sister Taoyuan has psychic abilities and can see ghosts? Can she talk to ghosts?

Xu Tianran nodded slightly without saying much, bid farewell to Taoyuan, and continued on his way.

Guan Tong looked at Xu Tianran's frown and asked with a smile: "Master, are you afraid too?"

Xu Tianran was confused, "What are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Where did the ghost come from?"

"Isn't Sister Taoyuan psychic? She can talk to ghosts."

When Xu Tianran heard this, he was very angry. Naturally, chestnuts were indispensable.

Guan Tong covered his head and said angrily, "Master, this is what Sister Taoyuan said herself."

Xu Tianran knew Guan Tong's little plan, so he tried his best to say good things to Taoyuan, thinking that Taoyuan was often knocked on the bamboo pole by Guan Tong.

What troubles Xu Tianran is that there is only one person named Taoyuan. Qi Rongxuan and Gao Yang should not fight to the death over the same woman. It seems that they should find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with them and not be jealous of one woman.

Passing by a small thatched hut, it was noon. Seeing the smoke, Xu Tianran felt hungry.

Guan Tong's cheeks were pink and his mouth was dry after driving for a long time.

Only the little earth dragon seemed to be fine, as if he had not eaten, drank or slept for ten days and a half.

Through the ventilated wall, Xu Tianran could hear his sister's sweet voice, "Brother, I don't want you to join the army."

The elder brother sighed, "We are refugees who have migrated from other places. We are lonely and helpless. If I have no future in this village, you will be bullied. Only if I join the army, the villagers will not dare to bully you."

The younger sister said with a tearful voice, "It's over now. Brother, do you still remember your parents' instructions? Our Gu family is a scholarly family. We must not interrupt the inheritance of poetry and books?"

"When you are living in troubled times, what is the use of poetry and books? My parents and uncles who have read poetry and books are not all dead. Only with a sharp sword can I protect my family. Wenya, don't worry, my brother will definitely make his mark in the army. When the time comes,

I will save a dowry for you so that you can marry in style."

It turned out that the sister's name was Wenya, Xu Tianran continued to listen.

Seeing his sister burst into tears, the elder brother continued to comfort him: "God bless us, and we are lucky enough to live in Yizhou. If you and I were farmers, we could live here farming and studying. However, when it comes to reading, we are very familiar with it.

We don’t know anything about farming. Not only is this year’s harvest gone, the money given to Anjia by the Changping Sect is almost gone, so we are desperate.”

My sister cried even harder.

Xu Tianran knocked on the door softly. Through the crack in the door, which was not too small, Xu Tianran could see inside this room with air leakage everywhere. It was like a house with only four walls.

The person who opened the door was a young man, thin and tall. Seeing that he was a stranger, he became wary and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong?"

The boy's hand behind his back was holding a stone, as if he was ready to fight Xu Tianran at any moment.

Xu Tianran held up his hands and said: "I was passing by this place on my way down the river. Unfortunately, there is no bridge to the village and no shop behind. I would like to ask my little brother to help me make some food. Of course I will pay for it."

The young man still looked distrustful until he caught a glimpse of Guan Tong and Xiao Dilong following Xu Tianran, especially Guan Tong's bright smile. The young man blushed for no reason, took a few steps back, put down the stone, and called Xu Tianran and the others into the house.

When the girl saw the guest coming, she stood up to greet him.

A thatched hut, although simple, was kept very neatly.

The boys and girls were all dressed in shabby commoners, but their movements showed extremely high education. It seemed that they must have come from a wealthy and scholarly family.

The young man deliberately acted vulgar. He was deeply afraid that the visitor was trying to take advantage of his sister Wenya, so he smeared wood ash on his face while Wenya was not paying attention.

The girl was used to it and just glared at her brother without saying anything.

The girl has red lips and white teeth. She is considered to be the most beautiful woman in the village on both sides of the Red River. She is often remembered by the young people in the village. It is for this reason that the young man has such great hostility towards strangers.

The girl worked in front of the simple stove for a while before having a simple meal. There was no fish. The best dish was eggs fried with cucumbers that had been saved for several days. However, the girl was good at cooking. Such a simple meal, Xu

Naturally, Guan Tong and Xiao Dilong ate with gusto.

Xu Tianran wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Thank you for the hospitality, miss. The food is delicious."

Wenya said shyly: "I hope you will forgive me for not being well-received."

Xu Tianran couldn't help laughing when he saw the two smears of plant ash on the girl's face: "It seems that your brother loves you very much."

"Yes, without my brother, I would have died a long time ago, but I also want to thank the sect leader. Without him, both of us, brother and sister, would have starved to death."

Speaking of the sad past, Xu Tianran stood up and bowed, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

The girl smiled sweetly, "Young master, you are too worried. We refugees who have migrated from the Central Plains are all grateful to the sect master. It's just that we, brother and sister, are clumsy and cannot farm well when we get fertile land, so our days will become more and more miserable.

Everyone laughs."

The young man said with a straight face, "Wenya, don't talk too much."

Although the young man was in despair, his pride made him unwilling to accept sympathy from others.

Xu Tianran asked: "Little brother, what is your name?"

The young man said with a straight face, "Gu Wende."

"The girl's name is Gu Wenya."

Gu Wende immediately became alert and stared at the three of them, fearing that they were just here to rob Wenya.

Xu Tianran smiled and said: "Little brother, don't be nervous, I am not a bad person, and I don't have any intentions?"

Wenya also stopped in front of his brother. He knew that his brother was secretly holding the stone in his hand.

"Brother, they are not bad people."

The boy grabbed the girl's hand with one hand and pulled her behind him, "How can a bad person say that he is a bad person?"

Xu Tianran shrugged helplessly.

Guan Tong smiled and said: "Brother, do you think I look like a bad person?"

The young man's cheeks suddenly turned red, but he puffed out his chest and said calmly: "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts."

Xu Tianran asked: "I just heard outside the house that you wanted to join the army?"

The young man told the truth and wanted to use his identity as a future soldier to make Buyi Qingshan quit. "I have submitted an application to the Baochang. I will go to Yizhou Navy to join the army soon, and I will become an elite soldier under Commander Pei."

"

Xu Tianran took one look at the young man's figure and said, "You are too thin."

The young man argued: "When you join the army, you will naturally grow stronger."
