What a lucky world!

Chapter 84 Lin Jinglong: When you come, it will be inconvenient for me to show up...

"Drive you down the mountain?"

Lin Jinglong turned his head and looked at the forest in front of him and was silent for a moment.

"Brother Mu, do you really want to stay in the mountains?"

When Zhang Mu heard Lin Jinglong's question, he was about to nod when he was stopped by Lin Jinglong.

"you are not!"

"It's just that I saved your cat, or maybe I did a lot for it, and you're grateful, but you can't repay me, right?"

Looking into Lin Jinglong's eyes, Zhang Mu opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words and nodded.

Lin Jinglong smiled.

Lin Jinglong stood up, hands behind his back, watching the clouds gather and disperse, gather and disperse, and said leisurely, "Today, your master has shown you great favor, so you go up the mountain. But tomorrow, if someone has even greater favors and asks you to come down, what will you do?"

"I have ten thousand ways to force you to go up the mountain."

"There are also ten thousand reasons to persuade you to go up the mountain."

"But I just want you to go up the mountain willingly."

Lin Jinglong patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You call me teacher, so it's only natural for me to do something for you."

"Don't take the little gossips in the village to heart. They can't affect me."

"But teacher..." Zhang Mu wanted to say something, but Lin Jinglong shook his head, "Man, stop being so shy!"

"I'm asking you to go down the mountain, not to drive you away."

"Haven't you repaid the favor of Yuanwei Escort Agency yet?"

"Didn't you say you still wanted to learn how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is?"

"The door to the mountain village is always open to you. When you have figured it out and really feel like going up the mountain, come back."

"When you go down the mountain, I will not see you off."

"When you return to the mountain, I will definitely go to pick you up."

These words made Zhang Mu's nose sore. He felt the urge to tell Lin Jinglong that he just wanted to stay, but his reason told him that what the teacher said was right.

Without a true sense of inner identity, he may be able to do it for three to five years, but what about ten to twenty years?

All external emotions will be diluted by time.

Most emotional tragedies come from mistaking temporary emotions for permanent ones.

"I understand, Master." Zhang Mu nodded, but then continued, "I still have to stay in the mountains for a while, so I'd like to continue my martial arts instruction. Is that okay with you?"

There is nothing else he can do now, but he can still give some martial arts advice to the people in the village.

Lin Jinglong nodded: "Do as you wish. If you need anything, tell Shisan Niang."

"I understand, Teacher." Zhang Mu seemed to have let go of a burden in his heart and said, "Then I will go back and make arrangements first."

"Go!" Lin Jinglong waved his hand. Zhang Mu bowed to Lin Jinglong seriously and turned to leave.

Zhang Mu's back slowly receded. Wei Wuyou suddenly appeared from nowhere behind Lin Jinglong, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "Does it have to be this way?"

"If we're just taking one person into the village, then this wouldn't be necessary." Lin Jinglong still stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "But if this child is to be responsible for the village's future, then this is absolutely necessary."

"Turn around and talk." Wei Wuyou said.

Lin Jinglong: (;Д`)
Wei Wuyou exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed, "Alright, alright..."

"Old Wei, you saw it too, what a good kid..." Lin Jinglong said reluctantly, "We finally made it up the mountain. I really don't want to say those words..."

"Then I'll think of a way to arrest him!" Wei Wuyou asked.

"No!" Lin Jinglong shook his head, sighed, and sat down on the ground. He said, "How many martial arts villages in the world can last for more than a hundred years?"

"If he becomes the village chief in the future, he must be loyal to the village and regard it as his home. This cannot be blurred. Therefore, from the moment he comes up the mountain, we must not allow him to harbor any hidden dangers."

"More importantly, look at how many copycats have resorted to all sorts of tactics to lure people up the mountain. Although they were powerful for a while, they ended up in countless fights."

"I don't want him to make the same mistake in the future and let those things happen again in Qianyuan Village."

Wei Wuyou took another puff of his cigarette, letting out a cloud of smoke, and said slowly, "What if this child never comes back?"

Lin Jinglong glanced at Wei Wuyou and sighed.

"Isn't this little kitten stranded on the mountain?" "Then you can come forward and persuade them with your emotions and reason."

"It's not convenient for me..."

Wei Wuyou: (_)

I know that the sweet words from that old bitch can’t be trusted!
Changing the subject, Wei Wuyou continued, "Let's get down to business. Something has happened down the mountain recently."

Lin Jinglong's face turned serious. "What's the matter?"

"Sanyang County, Wenkou County, Cuiyun County, Shulan County, and even Wan'an County, where that kid came from... all have been struck by demonic disasters!"

Lin Jinglong frowned slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of thought, he said, "These five counties are all grain-producing counties."

"That's right." Wei Wuyou nodded. "The demonic disaster struck just before the autumn harvest, destroying all the crops out there. It's almost like we've got nothing!"

"The price of grain in the county is fluctuating tenfold every day. Winter is approaching, and we in the village must make preparations."

"I plan to notify the East and have them deliver the next batch of goods with grain. However, transporting grain will cause a lot of losses, and I think we'll be forced to lower our prices. We'll have to resort to some tricks."

Lin Jinglong nodded: "You arrange it!"

……

It rained all night in the mountains, and there were hundreds of springs under the trees.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Mu had spent half a month in the mountain stronghold.

During this half month, Zhang Mu completed the final body tempering. Although the process was painful and he fainted twice, he finally made up for the gap in physical training.

In addition, because the Ren and Du meridians were opened, the martial energy in his body was constantly impacting him, and he finally broke through the sixth level and pushed his cultivation to the seventh level of Tongmai Realm.

Of course, the biggest gain for him was not these, but...

"Young Chief, Young Chief!" A brisk shout came from the yard. Zhang Mu came out of his internal energy and saw more than a dozen young men rushing into his house. At the end of the crowd, there was a two-meter-tall man standing at the door. Half of the people had entered the house, but he was pretending to look at the moonlight outside.

"Young leader, I heard that you are going down the mountain tomorrow?" Huang Tianba was the first to come out, looking reluctant.

Yes, it was Huang Tianba who had caused trouble for Zhang Mu back then.

After seeing that Lu Tianlu recognized Zhang Mu, Huang Tianba found Zhang Mu that night and smoothly completed the difficult action of handstand tea serving.

Naturally, Zhang Mu did not treat him unfairly and gave him some martial arts pointers on the spot. Although he did not achieve great success immediately, he said that he had already seen the path to great success.

From then on, the group of geniuses in the mountain stronghold, led by Lu Tianlu, called Zhang Mu the young leader, but in their actions they really treated him as a half-master.

During the past half month, Zhang Mu instructed dozens of young men from the mountain strongholds almost every day. In the last few days, even some mountain stronghold leaders came to ask Zhang Mu for advice, and benefited a lot from it.

For a time, the martial arts spirit in Qianyuan Martial Village became even more prosperous. From time to time, news came that someone had achieved minor success under the guidance of the young village chief, and someone else had achieved major success under the guidance of the young village chief.

Young village chief is no longer just a title, but has gradually become a consensus within the village.

But today, they suddenly heard a piece of news.

The young leader went down the mountain.

They came together in the middle of the night.

"I still have some unresolved issues down the mountain," Zhang Mu said with a smile. "I'll come back once everything is settled."

"That's good!" Huang Tianba patted his chest, "When you return to the mountain, I will definitely master my boxing skills!"

"Stop talking nonsense." Lv Tianle said from behind, "It will take a long time for your boxing skills to reach perfection. The young... the young leader will definitely be back soon."

"Right, right, right!" Huang Tianba nodded quickly, "I was wrong, I was wrong."

Lu Tianle looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Young Master, life is hard up here in the mountains. There's no need for all those fancy farewells. Why don't we get drunk tonight?"

Zhang Mu had already noticed the wine jars placed in the yard and nodded, "Okay, today my brothers and I will get drunk!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered.

……

On a hillside, Shisan Niang smiled as she heard the sounds of joy (rowing), laughter (fisting), and scolding (mother) coming from Zhang Mu's courtyard.

"The village hasn't been this lively for a long time."

"It's a pity that this kid doesn't understand the rules of the village..."

"If we drink this, we won't be able to get down the mountain..."
