Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 172 Village
There is a simple basketball court under the stone archway by the river.

Several teenagers in plain clothes were playing basketball enthusiastically.

Boom!
The basketball hit the wooden rim and bounced out.

A young man, covered in sweat, strode over and was stunned when he saw Jiang Jian covered in mud.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, picked up the basketball and threw it back.

The basketball was very old, with several patches of different colors on it, and it was obvious that it had been used for a long time.

The boy reached out and grabbed the basketball, but didn't leave. Instead, he came to his senses and asked, "Who are you? How did you get out from there?"

Jiang Jian turned his head slightly and looked back the way he came.

The road I walked on was overgrown with weeds and rarely visited by people. It was a deserted and abandoned path.

The young man looked even more alert. He looked Jiang Jian up and down, and when his eyes fell on his wrist, his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed in shock, "You don't even have an identification device! You're a ghost from the mountains!"

On the simple basketball court, the other people's faces changed drastically when they heard the sound. They immediately dispersed and ran away in all directions!

Jiang Jian raised his eyes, looked at the young man standing there, and asked, "Why don't you run?"

The young man turned off his ID device, extended his unusual hand, and said firmly, "I've already reported it to the village chief, and have them quickly call for help! I'll hold you here to buy some time!"

He only has a tiny bit of spiritual cultivation.

Obviously, he is an ordinary person who has experienced the God-given ceremony but failed to get into the God-given university.

Its palms are large and emit a metallic luster, which should be a kind of "physical" talent.

"I'm not a ghost."

Jiang Jian brushed the sleeves of his golden and white robe, revealing his pale arms. "I just lost my ID."

There is a faint mark on the wrist.

This circle of marks is a sign of wearing the identification device for a long time.

All living beings in the four realms of Earth, Moon and Earth are included.

Looking at the traces there.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Jian again with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

Jiang Jian came here. She was about the same age as him, with fair complexion, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and dressed in a luxurious white robe embroidered with gold thread.

Although his whole body was covered with mud.

But its breath is indeed human.

Apart from the lack of an identification device, there was nothing ghost-like about it.

Jiang Jian asked, "Where is your village chief?"

The young man relaxed, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak.

From a few dozen meters away, the village chief roared, "Zhang Fan, hurry up and leave! What you see is all an illusion! It's the illusion of ghosts!"

Hearing the roar, the boy turned around and looked.

Seven or eight villagers, all holding weapons in their hands, stared at this place with nervous expressions.

The village chief, holding an old-fashioned purification gun, aimed it at Jiang Jian and gritted his teeth, "Ghost, let Zhang Fan go! Otherwise, I will shoot!"

Zhang Fan didn't move, and hesitated, "Although he doesn't have an identification device, he doesn't seem to be a ghost."

The village chief stamped his foot, angry at the lack of resistance, and said, "Everyone on Earth has an ID card. This is common sense! Even informal citizens have naturalized ID cards!"

"Without an ID device, there is only one possibility."

"It's a newly born ghost!"

While talking.

The village chief found an opportunity and pulled the trigger at Jiang Jian without any hesitation!

quack!

The old-fashioned purification gun jammed at this moment.

A beam of light rushed out in the opposite direction and washed the village chief's face hard!
After a few seconds, the purification beam dissipated.

The village chief forced himself to open his eyes and looked at the scrapped old purification gun in his hand with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Village chief, be careful of radiation!"

Someone nearby spoke nervously. The village chief sighed and said, "So what if there's radiation? Hasn't our village relied on this gun to drive away the sporadic ghosts in the mountains these past few years?"

Zhang Fan stepped forward and said sincerely, "Village Chief, he really isn't a ghost!"

The village chief looked at Jiang Jian behind Zhang Fan with a grim expression and said, "How do you prove he's not him? He walked out of the mountain stream and didn't have any identification device. Even if he's not a ghost, he must be a mountain spirit!"

Zhang Fan said seriously, "I trust my own judgment."

The other villagers also looked at Jiang Jian carefully.

Someone who was knowledgeable said, "It certainly doesn't look like a ghost."

A villager with a sturdy build and a spiritual cultivation level exceeding 5% of the God-given Realm strode forward and said in a deep voice, "Village Chief, I can confirm that this child is a human."

Hear this.

Almost all the villagers present were relieved, their expressions relaxed, and they whispered to each other.

"Since Zhang Dazhuang said so, it's definitely not a ghost."

"Yes, Zhang Dazhuang is incredible, he's a level 1 martial artist!"

"At the County Security Department, Zhang Dazhuang is a part-time security captain. If he says it's human, then it must be human!"

Hear these words.

The village chief felt a little relieved.

But he was still a little nervous. He walked up to Jiang Jian and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in our village?"

"Also, where's your ID device?"

The villagers around gradually quieted down.

Dozens of eyes were all looking at Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "I fell from up there, into the mountain stream, and my identification device just happened to be broken."

The village chief was skeptical and asked, "Which one is on top?"

"On the ship? Or on the shuttle?"

Without waiting for Jiang Jian to speak.

Zhang Dazhuang said directly with a firm tone, "These past few days, my identity device has been showing me people skydiving from the Star Ring. Did you skydive from the Star Ring?"

Skydiving is a true sport for the wealthy.

In the star ring light belt, use thrusters to travel through space.

Only after entering the Earth's strong gravity area will the thrusters be discarded and the main parachute be opened.

Hear this.

The rest of the villagers nodded in agreement.

"What Zhang Dazhuang said makes sense."

"Although he was covered in mud, he was dressed elegantly and looked like a young man from a wealthy family."

"Only children from such aristocratic families would go for something like Star Ring Skydiving."

"This child is so handsome, just like the one in the painting. A small family can't raise such a temperament."

"I guess there was an accident during the parachute jump, and the original coordinates were lost, which is why they landed here."

"That makes sense."

"Well said."

The villagers talked one after another, and imagined Jiang Jian's life story in detail.

The village chief also believed most of it.

He looked at Jiang Jian, his tone a little strange, and said: "But if you want to apply for an identity device, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

As soon as these words came out.

Many villagers fell silent.

Zhang Fan looked puzzled and asked, "Village Chief, why can't I apply for an ID card?"
