Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

The second section of the city wall requires incense offerings for twenty people.

The entry is also "incense coating".

In this way, Feng Mo erected several more city walls, making a total of twelve.

He wanted to rebuild it, but it was no longer possible.

This has already reached the limit of his incense offerings.

Feng Mo had no choice but to give up.

This offering is considered a form of incense offering as long as someone has faith in the Five Internal Organs Temple.

Jiangbai Village now has only a little over a hundred people, so the fact that so many people offer incense has far exceeded his expectations.

Just a few days ago, he was a down-on-his-luck temple keeper whom nobody cared about.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Two other temples were destroyed, causing widespread panic.

Faced with a strange disaster, ordinary people are powerless to resist and can only pray.

Conversely, Feng Mo would find it strange if there were still people who didn't follow him.

that's it.

The city walls, arranged in a square shape, surrounded the "Five Internal Organs Temple".

A door automatically opened at the location of the main road.

Very user-friendly.

At the same time, Feng Mo also randomly obtained two good terms:

"Double durability" and "I can take the hits all by myself".

Especially "I can take the beating alone": it can be upgraded after being attacked 500 times.

This entry is similar to the "I upgrade alone" tagline for the Arrow Tower!

Feng Mo placed the wall with "double durability" at the main gate and the wall with "I can withstand the beating alone" at the front line.

After doing all this, Feng Mo pretended to be exhausted.

After all, even if you're keeping it a secret from others, you still have to maintain appearances.

Looking at their stomachs, which were firmly enclosed by the high walls, Huang Lao Er and Tang Ren both showed joy.

Huang Lao Er, in particular, could tell at a glance that this city wall was no ordinary mud wall.

Each brick was engraved with runes, thus forming a dense, high wall.

All of them are made with the real best ingredients!

Huang Lao Er circled the city wall, touching it again and again with great affection.

Even Tang Ren, in his shock, couldn't help but start calculating with his fingers.

Why didn't he foresee these things when he consulted the oracle?

Master Feng really brought him so many surprises!

the next day.

As usual, Feng Fugui arrived at his stomach.

Not only was he shocked, but all the villagers who came to offer sacrifices today were stunned.

The stomach, which is usually easily visible, is now completely blocked by the tall city walls.

Where had they ever seen anything like this?

Only the worldly-wise Feng Fugui knew that this level of defense was only found in the town.

He immediately passed through the city gate and went into his stomach.

Seeing that the interior was still as familiar as he remembered, Feng Fugui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He also brought his daughter, Feng Nuonian, with him this time, with only one thing to say.

"Third Young Master, my daughter and I have taken care of the letter."

But at most, it can only delay the road opening until autumn.

I can assure you that no one from the family will come when the roads are closed in the summer.

Feng Mo nodded.

He understood the principle that secrets can't be kept forever, and it was already quite good that the road could be opened in the fall.

But when Feng Mo asked what was written in the letter, he was immediately speechless.

What stereotypes...

However, it was precisely by relying on this stereotype that they were able to buy themselves such a long delay.

But before Feng Mo could even catch his breath, Feng Nuonian brought another piece of bad news.

According to an informant from the Feng family in Shiping, the main family will be making some big moves.

They are satisfied with what the branch has done, but they will still send people to Jiangbai Village. As for the specific purpose, it is not yet clear.

Feng Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.

This made Feng Nuonian feel somewhat guilty, thinking that he had not done well and had made some oversights.

Hearing this, Huang Lao Er fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but think of the strange things that had happened in the Huanjiang River basin recently.

"Miss, is that informant's information reliable?"

"Reliable, reliable!"

He is a warrior trained by our branch, and he has been studying at the master's house.

His natal talisman is under our control; if he values ​​his life, he certainly won't deceive us.

Huang Lao Er nodded: "Then it seems that the Shiping family has other motives."

Initially, everyone knew that a strange disaster was imminent in the Huanjiang River basin.

The temple guardian of Huanjiang Town originally intended to rally the surrounding village guardians to overcome the difficulties together, and many village guardians responded enthusiastically. However, Chang'an County suddenly issued a strict order, requiring all towns and villages in the Huanjiang River basin to hold their ground and not to leave without authorization.

Those who disobey will be severely punished along with their entire families!

At best, taxes will be increased; at worst, the number of temple guardians allocated to them will be reduced.

Once this was announced, all the major families had no choice but to comply.

Some powerful families sent reinforcements, while others ignored the situation.

At this point, Huang Lao Er sighed.

Clearly, he is the latter.

Feng Mo seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

The first half was the same as what he had learned before.

He knew nothing about what happened afterward.

Feng Nuonian raised her eyebrows slightly.

She wasn't out of the loop; she knew about it.

This led her to a bold guess:

"Master Huang, are you saying this matter is related to the temple?"

"Miss is indeed intelligent," Huang Lao Er said with a bow. "Indeed."

Strange disasters always seem to prefer places with large crowds.

"But our Huanjiang River basin is already remote, and now these strange disasters are frequently breaking out in this sparsely populated area. Coupled with the unusual activity at the imperial court, I'm afraid not only the Feng family of Shiping, but also other major families will want to get involved and see what's going on."

Feng Nuonian then realized: "Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Abbot Huang."

"Temple abbot or anything like that, forget it..."

After I severed ties with the Huang family of Jiangxia, I naturally lost my position as temple master.

From now on, the Third Young Master and I will be family.

As for how you address me, Miss, please call me Huang Lao Er from now on.

Although Huang Lao Er left the Huang family of Jiangxia, he went to live with the Feng family of Jiangbai Village, and still paid great attention to etiquette.

Without the title of temple master, he is now just a cultivator who is practicing. He is stronger than a martial artist, but his reputation is smaller than that of the temple master.

In his heart, he no longer followed the Feng family of Shiping in Chang'an County, but the Feng family of Jiangbai Village.

There is no such thing as a branch; since the Third Young Master has established himself here, this place is the true home.

Feng Nuonian was stunned for a while before he reacted.

She naturally understood what the other party meant, but the change in treatment, which had only taken a few days, was already worlds apart.

Normally, when they encountered any cultivator, even if they weren't from the main family, their father would have to be obsequious to them as a member of a branch family.

Now it's completely the other way around.

She looked at Feng Mo; all of this was because of the Third Young Master in front of her.

For a moment, his gaze softened.

Seeing that Feng Mo did not speak, she nodded in agreement:

"You are older than me, so I will call you Uncle Huang from now on."

It's reasonable and respectful, showing both courtesy and consideration for face.

Huang Lao Er readily agreed: "Alright, alright!"

"Then, Dad, what's my name?" Huang Shang, who was perched on Huang Lao Er's back, looked completely confused.

"Hmph!" Huang Lao Er slapped Huang Shang on the forehead first. "From now on, when you see the Third Young Master or the Miss, just obediently greet them!"

"...Oh...okay, okay," Huang Shang said, wincing in pain.

Tang Renze stood to the side, fiddling with his compass, divining the celestial phenomena, seemingly plotting something.

At this moment, Feng Mo paid no attention to these pleasantries and instead fell into deep thought.

Huang Lao Er's words woke him up.

In this way, the imperial court, the main family, and other major families will all come. Wouldn't Jiangbai Village become a tiny place where various forces compete for power in the future?

Looking at the towering city walls that rose from the ground around him, he felt a sense of security.

Fortunately, I had the foresight.

In any case, as long as you hold onto your own little corner of the world, that's enough!

If anyone dares to invade,

Let's ask his arrow tower if he agrees first.
