Hermit in the Mountains

"Thank you, Peak Master." Yang Dashan and Zhang Yuanfu bowed in gratitude with joy and sat up straight.

"You will come up the mountain once a week to report on your progress in your spiritual practice."

"Supplies are still delivered up the mountain every two weeks."

After saying that, Gu Changsheng paused for a moment and added, "Dashan, have someone build a warehouse outside the bamboo forest."

"From now on, the supplies will be stored in the warehouse outside, and I will go and retrieve them myself."

"Yes, Peak Master, I'll make the arrangements as soon as I get back," Yang Dashan replied immediately.

He frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he finally spoke up and told the village about the situation, "Peak Master, there is something in the village."

"I heard from Uncle Mancang that whether they are villagers who have returned from working in other places or villagers who have been staying at home for a long time, many friends from outside and distant relatives from other villages have contacted them, all inquiring about the situation in the village;"

"Some women who have married out of the village also want to move their household registration back to the village, and their husbands' families also want to move over."

"Many people also want to transfer their household registration to Xiahe Village, including Li Jianguo, Fang Shouchang, Master Shen, Abbot Shi..."

When the members of Wanshou Pavilion were mentioned, Yang Dashan paused for a moment and glanced at Zhang Yuanfu across from him.

Gu Changsheng looked at Zhang Yuanfu and smiled, "Most of the people probably came for Shou'an Ancient Town."

Yang Dashan suddenly informed the peak master about the situation in the village, catching Zhang Yuanfu off guard. They originally wanted to take advantage of this ancient town construction project to transfer their household registration to Xiahe Village, so that they could settle down in Xiahe Village.

As for the ancestral graves, we'll figure out a way in the future. The opportunity to transfer the household registration to Xiahe Village is rare, since Xiahe Village will be renamed Wanshou Village. Once Shou'an Ancient Town is built, the household registration in the ancient town will be a sure thing, granting permanent residency rights. We'll also be allocated a new ancestral house and a few plots of land.

As someone who participated in the design of the planning map of Shou'an Ancient Town and the revision of the town's management system, he already knew in advance what would be precious and rare in the future household registration of the ancient town.

There are only five ancient towns in the first batch of the cultivation of immortality in the country, and each town has only 10,000 household registration slots in the first batch.

The household registration system in Shou'an Ancient Town is also divided into two categories, one of which is the household registration of Xiahe Village, which will later become Wanshou Village.

The villagers of Xiahe Village aren't stupid. Gu Changsheng has the deepest relationship with their village, making them the most likely to receive his blessings. Even a small gift from him is something outsiders would only dream of.

As previously reported, the entire village had begun practicing martial arts ahead of schedule and were also able to cooperate with Wanshou Pavilion to trade some elixirs.

For example, some of the pills and techniques bestowed upon Gu Changsheng were of no use to him.

Most importantly, their village is the closest to Gu Changsheng. No matter what turmoil occurs in the outside world in the future, their village will be the safest place. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a "fairy village".

Their village currently has only about two hundred people. Every additional person will take away a portion of their resources. If the population increases to four hundred, the resources they can receive will be reduced by half.

Therefore, they held a village meeting and unanimously decided to reject all applications to move into the village, not accepting anyone to move in, and even evicting all outsiders who were renting.

Only Zhang Yuanfu and his group, who are members of Wanshou Pavilion, can continue to rent houses in the village.

After learning about the village's decision, and knowing that the peak master would occasionally give Xiahe Village some pointers, Zhang Yuanfu thought about transferring his household registration to Xiahe Village during its reconstruction.

Wan'an Village is naturally inferior to Wanshou Village in status and cannot enjoy the hidden benefits of Wanshou Village.

Because Xiahe Village does not accept household registration transfers, the first batch of 10,000 places in Shou'an Ancient Town were all allocated to Wan'an Village.

The National Spirit Bureau cannot force Xiahe Village to accept outsiders because of the name Gu Changsheng.

If we were to say who had the deepest relationship with Gu Changsheng, it would undoubtedly be Yang Dashan and the villagers of Xiaohe Village.

The villagers are helping with everything from leasing land and clearing wasteland to planting trees and transporting supplies.

Only a few people from Wanshou Pavilion were in line later.

Zhang Yuanfu snapped out of his daze and quickly apologized, "Peak Master..."

Seeing the peak master's signal, he swallowed back the introduction he had prepared.

Gu Changsheng raised his hand to stop the other person, then looked to his right. "Dashan, what are your village's thoughts?"

"Please give your guidance, Peak Master!" Yang Dashan explained the situation in the village, hoping to hear the Peak Master's advice.

Or rather, they wanted Gu Changsheng to affirm their decision, which was to not accept new household registrations.

"Dashan, you've learned to be tactful." Gu Changsheng's tone didn't imply any blame for Yang Dashan.

As his cultivation level increased, he had fewer things to worry about, and he now acted more based on whether it would bring him benefits, or whether he wanted to do it.

When he first arrived in Xiahe Village, the villagers showed him a lot of care, which he appreciated to some extent.

He doesn't cultivate the path of ruthlessness, so he can do some things casually as long as they don't affect him.

"Dashan, let the five official members of Wanshou Pavilion move in. As for how many relatives each person can bring, your village can decide that."

Having given Yang Dashan a definite answer, Gu Changsheng suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Dashan, tell Chief Mancang."

"Let's call this valley, which leads in and out of Changsheng Peak, Changsheng Valley."

"Yes, Peak Master, I'll go back and tell Uncle Mancang to have the villagers change their way of addressing me." Yang Dashan's anxious mood eased, and he quickly replied.

"Thank you, Peak Master. Thank you, Peak Master." Zhang Yuanfu, who was standing to the side, thanked them repeatedly when he heard that they could transfer their household registration to Xiahe Village.

Bring as many people as you can to join Xiahe Village, and arrange for the rest of your relatives to register their household registration in Wan'an Village.

Wanshou Pavilion has a considerable number of household registration slots in Wan'an Village, so there is no problem for family members to register their household registration in Wan'an Village.

Gu Changsheng gave the two a final reminder, "You can both go now. Cultivation and resource gathering are the core tasks, and nothing should affect these two tasks."

"Yes, Peak Master..." Yang Dashan and Zhang Yuanfu stood up and left the living room.

After the two figures disappeared, Gu Changsheng closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and sent a telepathic message to Da Huang, asking him to help move the things.

Given Da Huang's size and cultivation level, carrying a thousand-pound item would be no problem for him.

After giving Da Huang a brief instruction, Gu Changsheng continued to deduce the mountain-protecting formation within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Outside the bamboo forest, after watching Zhang Yuanfu leave, Yang Dashan first prepared a place for Dahuang to bite or tied it with a rope so that Dahuang could carry it. Then he turned around, carried the wooden box, and followed behind Dahuang.

The two figures, one human and one dog, moved back and forth through the bamboo forest. Big Yellow, who was always active, seemed to have found a new toy and was having a great time carrying things around.

The bright red ox on the mountaintop is bathed in sunlight and is cultivating, while the blue ox in the cowshed behind the wooden house is either sleeping or cultivating.

In the center of the medicinal field, the Earth Spirit Ginseng is breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorbing the earth's energy. When it absorbs spiritual energy, a special energy will overflow from its body, slowly improving the surrounding soil.

At night, Wang Bing'er would either cultivate or run all over the mountain. During the day, she would hide under her bed in her bedroom to sleep and conserve her energy.

The sacred trees and ordinary plants on the mountain are instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon...
