Chapter 691 Secluded in the Mountain Village (2)

After changing the spell, the underground water was triggered and filled up the well and ruler. Then, it flowed down from the stone and formed a small waterfall and stream. Immediately, this place seemed to come to life. It turned from a wilderness filled with weeds into a good small courtyard.

Song Shi hollowed out Stone and made a room. The entire space was much larger. Even the family of five was very spacious, let alone one person.

"This is my new home. I can't be bothered to move around if there's nothing else."

Song Shi opened a piece of land to grow vegetables. He thought that he could still cook if he ate something.

After doing that, he did not go down the mountain. He sat in the stone room and watched the stream leave before starting his cultivation.

He was prepared to try to increase his cultivation level quickly. He could not just increase his physical body. It was too uncoordinated.

"Increasing my cultivation not only involves the qualitative change in energy, but also the qualitative change in my mind. If I don't consider my physical body, I will increase my Qi and spirit."

Song Shi pondered over the difficulties. It was indeed more complicated than just improving his physical body. The main thing was that it involved more things. It would be much more difficult to catch a loophole to cheat. It was destined to not succeed in a short period of time.

He was not in a hurry. It was still early. At most, he would spend more time. As long as he successfully cracked the rules, the rewards would naturally be generous.

In the village, many people were paying attention to the commotion on the mountain.

In a small courtyard of a farmer's house, more than twenty people were smoking tobacco, causing the surroundings to be filled with smoke.

"Er Zhu, go back and take an afternoon nap."

Someone berated. After letting the child leave, he spat out a mouthful of smoke and revealed his face. It was the farmer Song Shi had seen before.

"There's another one. I don't know if he's really living in seclusion or if he has any thoughts."

The feces-collector old man was full of wrinkles. "The key is that I can't see through this person and don't know his background. It's difficult to resist."

"From the looks of it, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions." The weathered woman waved her hand and blew away the smoke.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Who knows what he's thinking?"

A man holding a hunting bow pulled the bowstring and aimed at the mountaintop. "Why don't we chase him away?"

"How can that do? Our Qingsang Village's tradition is to help each other. Those who come here are all qualified to stay here. How can we not let others do this?"

The old man sitting in the middle shook his head. This person had a head of white hair and was quite prestigious. When he said this, no one objected.

"Then let's see what he'll do. If he really has any bad thoughts, we won't be afraid of him with so many of us."

A rather beautiful woman hugged her chest and said.

"Widow, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her? We don't allow you to jinx people here anymore," someone teased.

"This person came here to live in seclusion at such a young age. I'm just a little curious if he has really seen through the mortal world."

The woman called the widow chuckled.

The others had no objections. Clearly, they also wanted to see what this person's background was.

The next day, Song Shi looked at the empty pool and muttered, "I should go and get some fish to put in there."

He had an automatic cultivation system. He did not need to sit still to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth. He usually had a lot of time to take care of this new courtyard.

Since he was going to stay here for a long time, he naturally had to take care of it well and comfortably.

Outside, a well-rounded village woman was climbing the slope. The weeds along the way made her frown, but when she saw the fence at the top of the mountain, she was immediately shocked.

"What's going on? Didn't he just come over yesterday? Why has the courtyard been repaired?"

Beside her, a farmer with an especially big head was cutting down the vegetation with a scythe to open a path. When he heard her words, he also looked up and was stunned. "It's true. I thought you were lying to me."

"Datou, this person really came yesterday."

The widow stopped warily and did not move forward. There must be something wrong with this abnormality. It was right for her to bring one more person today. If anything happened, she could take care of him.

"That's right. I saw him yesterday. I've never seen him before."

Datou touched his bald head. "That's strange. Why don't we feel anything when we have such a big courtyard at the top of the mountain?"

"There must be something wrong with this person. He can build a courtyard under the noses of so many people in our village, but we don't know anything about it. It's not something ordinary people can do."

The widow's expression was solemn. She subconsciously felt that Song Shi had built a courtyard here in advance and only appeared after it was repaired to say that he wanted to live in seclusion.

"Maybe he came from the other side of the mountain. We don't usually come to this godforsaken mountaintop. It's normal that we didn't notice."

Datou comforted himself and said unhappily, "However, his actions are quite unethical. It's not like we don't want him to live in seclusion here. Is there a need to secretly repair the courtyard first?"

"Stop talking. If he has the energy to do such a thing, he's not an ordinary person."

The widow shook her head.

"You make it sound like we're just ordinary people," Datou muttered.

The widow frowned. "Alright, we're very close now. Speak softer. We'll all be from the same village in the future. There's no need to make enemies."

"That's right. Everyone will live on this mountain in the future. We're considered family."

A voice answered, but it wasn't Datou's.

The two of them trembled and felt a chill down their spines. They hurriedly distanced themselves from the source of the sound. At the same time, they turned around warily and stared at Song Shi, who had arrived in front of them without anyone noticing. Their gazes were especially fearful.

"You're indeed not an ordinary person."

The widow stared at Song Shi and thought to herself that he was so handsome that she could not help but want to get close to him.

"You're not ordinary people either."

Song Shi looked at the scythe in Datou's hand. Power had already condensed on it, and the bulging muscles all over his body were like copper skin.

As for the widow, her aura was agile. A few cold needles appeared in her hand.

Needless to say, both of them had cultivation.

He was not surprised. When he came to this village, he had already investigated. The Spiritual Qi here was richer. There were no major factions, but there were cultivators.

Whether it was the farmers he had met at the entrance of the village or these two people, their strength was not simple.

Let's put it this way. If the two people in front of him went to the Cao family, they would be able to cause a scene and escape unscathed.

Even the two children had cultivated and had only entered the Beginner realm.

In fact, this was not an ordinary village.

It was also very difficult for ordinary people to survive in such a remote mountain forest and under the threat of all kinds of Vicious beasts.

Seeing that Song Shi had no intention of attacking, the thin needle in the widow's hand disappeared and she smiled charmingly. "In that case, let's go our separate ways and not harm the other party. How about we live in harmony?"

"Of course. I have no grudges with you. Why would I harm you?"

Song Shi nodded. If he had the intention to harm others, he could destroy everyone in this village.

"Then we're here today to visit you, the new neighbor."

The widow smiled and sized up Song Shi. "How should I address you, Young Master? Are you married?"

"Song Shi. I'm married." Song Shi replied simply.

"Where's Madam? Is she here too?"

The widow glanced at the courtyard.

"She's not here."

Song Shi shook his head. He did not even know which world Wuyou was in now.

"That's a pity. I was thinking of pairing up with you."

The widow smiled brightly. "Actually, if you don't mind, you can come into contact with me too. I'm very sensible."

Datou snorted. "Don't be coquettish. He doesn't want to have anything to do with you."

"Shut up!"

The widow rolled her eyes.

"The two of you are guests. Please."

Song Shi raised his hand and gestured. "The two of you helped me open a path. No matter what, I have to entertain you."

"Then we have to remove the last bit of weeds before we can eat your food, Young Master Song."

The widow kicked Datou, who cut the grass and trees gloomily. "I was clearly the one who did it. Why do you have to contribute?"

"You talk too much, don't you? Do you believe that I'll go back and tell your wife that you didn't stop my seduction on the way?"

The widow threatened.

"Of course not. I was just joking. We came together, so we're naturally considered together."

Datou cut it out obediently.

Song Shi could tell that these people had a good relationship. If they did not have a good relationship, they would probably not be able to stay here.

He did not say anything and allowed Datou to open up a path. He could leave simply, so there was still a way out.
