Calabash Fairy

Outside the Redwood Village, there is a redwood forest, where the redwood is a high-quality building material.

Not far from Yantian Village is a natural salt lake, while near Tiezhu Village are iron mines.

The mulberry forest next to Jinzhi Village is also a good place for raising silkworms. Baicao Village is built in Baicao Valley, which has a variety of medicinal herbs.

As for Xiahe Village, it naturally exists as a village of fish and rice.

Previously, several families traded with each other during the Moon Festival, exchanging goods and getting what they needed, which gradually helped them make a living.

The thin old man shook his head slightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"The facts are clear: the village's guardian artifacts have begun to crumble. The villagers are unaware of this, but I think all the village chiefs are well aware of what we are about to face."

"Back then, we decided to keep it a secret to avoid causing panic. Now, it's time to realize the truth and stop hoping for the best. We should tell everyone."

Upon hearing this, the other village chiefs fell silent, while Yang Sheng looked at a floor tile in the ancestral hall.

That's where the demon-suppressing talisman was placed.

However, the Demon-Suppressing Talisman was no longer as vibrant as it once was, and was now almost like a piece of tattered waste paper. But when he came into contact with the divine object the day before yesterday, a message naturally came from the Demon-Suppressing Talisman.

Two years...

Two years later, the divine object will eventually self-destruct, and their village will lose its protection. The same will happen to the other villages. Everyone knows what will happen if a monster really attacks.

But their generation all grew up in the village from childhood, grandfather, father, children, generation after generation. Even if life was tough, it was the legacy left by their ancestors through generations of hard work. How could they be content with that?

That's their home...

Yang Sheng slowly began to speak:

"Gentlemen, although it is hard to leave our homeland, we are all well aware of the current situation. The situation is urgent. At least in Xiahe Village, we have the protection of the benevolent mountain god and are not afraid of demons. My second son and everyone in Hongmu Village can attest to this."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaochuan, who had been standing behind Yang Sheng, and the two men behind the village chief of Hongmu Village all nodded in agreement.

The other four village chiefs remained silent for a moment, then the village chief of Tiezhu Village, a burly middle-aged man, spoke first:

"Tiezhu Village will be relocated to Xiahe Village next spring."

After finishing speaking, the village chief of Tiezhu Village stood up and walked towards the door.

This is by no means an easy task; there are still many things to consider and discuss…

Following this, the village chiefs of Baicao Village and Yantian Village also decided to relocate to Xiahe Village.

When it comes to survival, they all know that there is no room for wishful thinking.

Moreover, they have witnessed firsthand the changes that have taken place in Xiahe Village over the past few years.

While there's still time...

Yang Sheng looked at the last village chief of Jinzhi Village, a young woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old and was wearing a pink dress.

"Miss Snow Robe, Granny Su says that you will be replacing her as the village chief of Jinzhi Village, deciding all matters concerning the village. What are your plans, young lady?"

Grandma Su's eldest granddaughter, Su Xueyi.

Yang Sheng looked at the young woman in front of him with a serious expression.

This girl had fair skin, bright white teeth, and a calm and composed demeanor, completely unlike the people from the mountains. She caused quite a stir as soon as she appeared in the village. Even he was momentarily stunned when he first saw her, amazed by her beauty.

This little girl is definitely not simple...

Su Xueyi smiled and bowed slightly, saying:

"Village Chief Yang, you're too kind. You're an elder, so just call me Xueyi."

"As for the future of Jinzhi Village, please give me some time. I want to go to the mountain god temple to see the statue of the mountain god in person before making a decision."

Upon hearing this, Yang Sheng slowly nodded and said:

"Alright, Brother Xu Hu from Redwood Village is overseeing the construction of a new mountain god temple on the mountain. I heard it will be completed soon. If Miss Xueyi is willing, you can go to Qingfeng Mountain to find him tomorrow."

"Thank you, Village Chief Yang."

........................................

After leaving the village chief's house, Su Xueyi headed straight for Qingfeng Mountain alone.

Despite her slender figure and dress, she moved with remarkable lightness and grace along the rugged mountain path under the moonlight, like a mountain spirit.

Before long, she arrived at the top of the mountain, where lanterns were hanging all around, illuminating the mountain god temple under construction, and men were busy at work.

Su Xueyi did not disturb them, but instead silently recited an incantation, circulating her spiritual energy into her pupils. As a glint of light flashed in her eyes, the mountain god temple before her changed dramatically.

The mountain god temple, which was originally nothing special, now seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light, and a majestic and righteous divine aura was constantly rising from the temple.

Upon seeing this, Su Xueyi's pretty face also showed a hint of surprise.

"It's actually the God of Merit..."

Su Xueyi's expression turned serious. She straightened her clothes, and with the faint moonlight surrounding her, she strode towards the mountain god temple.

Surprisingly, none of Xu Hu and his group, who were busy around them, noticed Su Xueyi's presence until she entered the mountain god temple.

As soon as Su Xueyi stepped into the mountain god temple, which already had four walls erected, she saw the gourd-shaped statue enshrined high in the temple, and two people sitting and drinking tea directly in front of the statue.

Shu Yu turned his head, glanced at the bright-eyed girl, slowly stood up, cupped his hands in a salute to Fang Yan opposite him, and smiled:

"Since you have guests here, I will not stay any longer. I will come to disturb you again after my chessboard is finished."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoist."

Fang Yan nodded with a smile, watching Shu Yu transform into a gentle breeze and leave the mountain god temple whose roof had not yet been completed. Then his gaze fell on Su Xueyi.

In his eyes, this woman possessed a pure and ethereal aura, completely out of place in the mundane world; she was clearly a cultivator.

Su Xueyi stepped forward two steps, her expression respectful and her demeanor solemn. She bowed to Fang Yan from afar and said in a clear and melodious voice:

"Su Xueyi of the Rainbow Robe Immortal Sect pays respects to the Mountain God of Qingfeng Mountain."

Fang Yan nodded slightly and chuckled:

"I never imagined that there would be a cultivator like you in Jinzhi Village."

Su Xueyi remained respectful and stated frankly:

"Several years ago, Xueyi had a chance encounter with immortals in the mountains and obtained several cultivation manuals. Through self-study and practice, she also cultivated some magical power. Two years ago, she unexpectedly met her master, Fairy Yunhua, and was accepted as a disciple by her master."

"However, my cultivation is still lacking, and I only know some minor spells, which are certainly not worthy of your attention, Lord Mountain God."

Fang Yan's gaze fell on Su Xueyi's pink dress. In his eyes, the dress was like a cloud-like fabric woven from moonlight, radiating a five-colored spiritual light, clearly a precious treasure.

【Moonlight Veil and Rainbow Robe: Made from moonlight and clouds, this garment can absorb the essence of the moon to aid in cultivation, has a calming effect, and can also transform into five-colored clouds to fight enemies. It has endless uses and was crafted by Fairy Yunhua of the Rainbow Robe Immortal Sect】

Fang Yan looked at the clothes thoughtfully.

This girl's master certainly values ​​her highly...
