The first volume debuts Chapter 2 Disaster strikes from the sky!
After lying on the stone bed by the river for an hour, the scorching sun was setting in the west and was blocked by the surrounding mountains. The sky in Taoyuan Village began to darken.
Because Taoyuan Village is surrounded by mountains, it gets dark early. Every family will light a small stove and enjoy dinner by the firelight.
"It's getting dark, let's go home." Xiaofeng, whose thoughts had flown away from Taoyuan Village, came back to his senses and woke up his three sleeping companions.
After hearing Xiaofeng's words, Tiedan and the other two climbed up from the stone bed sleepily, dusted themselves off and prepared to go home.
"I'll take the turtle home first and ask my mother to make turtle soup. You guys can come over to have some after dinner." There was only one turtle and it was not easy to share it, so Xiaofeng suggested.
"Okay, Aunt Li's cooking skills are among the best in the village. The turtle must be more delicious." The three of them had no objections. Thinking of the delicious food made by Aunt Li, they immediately swallowed a lot of saliva.
Xiaofeng carefully took the turtle from Tiedan, and the four of them went towards the wooden house area of the village. After they got close, they dispersed and went home.
"Mom, I'm back!" Xiao Feng said loudly as he entered the house.
A gentle woman in the wooden house came out upon hearing the noise. Seeing the turtle in Li Xuanfeng's hand, she immediately asked in confusion, "Xiaofeng, where did you go to play today? What is this green thing?"
Xiao Feng smiled and replied, "I went to the river today. This is a turtle. It will be delicious if it is made into soup."
"Xiaofeng, you actually caught a turtle?" At this time a middle-aged man also walked into the yard, and immediately heard what Xiaofeng and his mother said, and spoke with a surprised smile.
"Yes, Dad, please teach Mom how to make turtle soup." Seeing the middle-aged man coming back, Xiao Feng immediately went to greet him and said with anticipation.
"Okay, your mother has never seen a turtle either." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, putting down the farm tools on his shoulders.
There are only a handful of people in the village who have been to the outside world, and Xiaofeng's father Li Tang is one of them. He has learned a lot of medical skills and became the only doctor in the village.
He changed the previous situation in the village where getting a serious illness meant death, saved many people, and was respected by the villagers. Because of this, the villagers did not care even though Xiaofeng got into trouble several times.
There were not many literate people in the village, and Li Tang was the most knowledgeable one. He brought a lot of books from outside and taught Li Xuanfeng to read whenever he had free time, which made his knowledge far surpass that of his three friends.
His father often told Li Xuanfeng stories about the outside world and how to be a good person. He also asked his father why he went to the outside world and then returned to the village. His father said that the world outside was too dangerous and was far less comfortable than in Taoyuan Village.
Li Xuanfeng also heard from his father that there are people who practice immortal cultivation in the outside world. They have the ability to fly and hide in the ground, and can even cast earth-shaking spells. However, the cultivation world where these people live is even more cruel, and killing people and robbing treasures is common!
It is said that those who cultivate immortality have a heart of Tao, which is actually the same as the human heart. In life, people should pursue a clear conscience and live a transparent life with an open mind.
And those who practice Taoism can go further and reach a higher realm only if they have a firm determination.
My mother’s cooking skills were excellent, and after my father’s explanation, she easily made the turtle soup. The three of us sat around the table and prepared to enjoy dinner.
Normally the meals at home are light, but today is different. In addition to the original meals, there is a clay pot with turtle soup in it.
"Mom and Dad, please try the turtle soup." Li Xuanfeng took the lead in serving each of his parents a large bowl of fresh soup.
"But we have to leave some of this turtle soup. I promised Tiedan and the other three that they will come over to drink it later." He then began to explain.
"Children can't drink too much turtle soup. Just give yourself half a bowl." Just as Li Xuanfeng was about to serve himself a large bowl, he was stopped by his father.
"Why can't we drink too much?" Li Xuanfeng, who wanted to enjoy a feast, was stopped and asked with confusion, but still reluctantly listened to his father's words.
In Li Xuanfeng's memory, everything his father said made sense and was never wrong.
"Turtle soup is too nutritious. If you drink too much, it will be bad for your health and you might even get a nosebleed."
After the father answered Li Xuanfeng, he suddenly leaned close to his wife's ear and joked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mother, turtle soup has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang. Let's give Xiaofeng a sister tonight."
"You old shameless man." Upon hearing this, the mother's face turned red and she couldn't help but spat.
"Mom, why did your face suddenly become so red?" Li Xuanfeng did not hear the conversation between the two. After drinking the soup, he looked up and saw his mother's red face. He immediately asked with concern.
"Look, this is the effect of turtle soup. Your mother's face is hot because of the excessive nourishment." Worried that Li Xuanfeng might notice something, the father coughed lightly and explained without changing his expression.
Li Xuanfeng was still a little confused after hearing this. His mother only drank half a bowl, but the effect was so obvious? After thinking about it, he thought it might be because of her weak constitution.
"I had a very strange dream a few days ago. I dreamed that another person appeared in my body and wanted to snatch my body. Fortunately, he couldn't snatch it away from me and was eventually driven away by me. But when I woke up in the morning, I felt very tired, as if I hadn't slept all night."
During the meal, his father suddenly told a strange dream with confusion, but Li Xuanfeng and his mother did not think much about it. Dreams are all kinds of strange, and this kind of dream did not seem strange.
Before the family of three finished their dinner, Li Xuanfeng's three friends came hurriedly, as if they were worried that the turtle soup would be drunk up if they arrived too late.
Tiedan and the other two hurriedly ate a bowl of rice at home and rushed to Li Xuanfeng's house. Their parents were still puzzled as the foodies in the family were so perfunctory about eating today.
When the three men arrived, there was just enough turtle soup left for each of them to serve half a bowl. Li Xuanfeng drank half a bowl, and his mother only drank the bowl that Li Xuanfeng served her. The other three bowls, about three bowls in total, were all drunk by Li Tang.
Like Li Xuanfeng, Tiedan and the other two wanted to eat heartily, but they were surprised that only half a bowl was left for each of them. After hearing Li Tang's explanation, they had to drink it up quickly with bitter faces, and even picked up the clay pot and emptied it before they stopped.
When they learned that Li Xuanfeng had only drunk half a bowl, Tiedan and the other two felt a little better.
After drinking half a bowl of turtle soup and confirming once again that there was no soup left in the clay pot as if it had just been washed, Tiedan and the other two immediately turned their eyes to the bowl that Li Tang had not yet finished drinking. It was obvious that he had not drunk enough.
Feeling the unsatisfied looks from Tiedan and the other two, Li Tang immediately picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Then he smiled and turned the empty bowl over to indicate to them that it was completely gone.
Seeing that the last half bowl of turtle soup had been drunk, Tiedan and the other two looked quite disappointed. After saying goodbye helplessly, they returned home with the aftertaste of the turtle soup.
Nothing happened that night. When the morning light emerged from behind the mountain and Taoyuan Village slowly became brighter, the villagers woke up one after another and continued to work, while Li Xuanfeng and his three companions went around looking for wild game as usual.
But on this day, a man suddenly arrived in Taoyuan Village, completely disrupting the peace and tranquility of the place!
To put it nicely is descending, but in fact it is falling!
On that afternoon, when the villagers were busy working in the fields, a scream suddenly came from the sky, and then a man in a black robe fell from the sky in a mess and landed in the paddy field in the center of the village, causing a cloud of mud and water to rise ten feet high.
When the screams came from the sky, the villagers had already heard it and looked up in surprise, and then they saw the whole process of the man in black robe falling from the sky.
Where the black-robed man fell, a lot of mud and water splashed, and the two villagers next to him were covered in mud. But when they saw the black-robed man get up, they were shocked to find that there was not a trace of mud or water on his body!
The man in black robe was quite depressed. He was flying over this place with his magic weapon, but the spiritual power in his body suddenly became disordered without any warning, causing him to lose control in an instant and fall from the sky!
Fortunately, he managed to mobilize his spiritual power to protect his whole body before landing, so he was not injured when he fell to the ground. The mud and water were also blocked by his spiritual power shield and did not stain his clothes at all.
After standing up, the man in black robe immediately noticed the two villagers next to him. He glanced into the distance in surprise and found that this place was actually a hidden little village .
"I didn't expect that there is a village here. It seems that it is not an accident, but God's gift to me for my contribution." A look of surprise suddenly appeared on the face of the man in black robe. The depression from falling from the air was instantly swept away, and he said with a smile.
The man in black robe found that the spiritual power in his body had returned to normal at this time, so he immediately flew into the air with his magic weapon, and scanned the entire Taoyuan Village.
"Immortal!" Seeing that the man in black robe could actually fly into the air by stepping on a dagger, many villagers' expressions suddenly changed drastically and they couldn't help but exclaimed.
When the villagers saw the man in black robe, someone immediately ran to tell the village chief. They still didn't know why the immortal had come, and the words of the man in black robe made them feel uneasy. It would be better to let the knowledgeable village chief handle it.
Just when many villagers in Taoyuan Village were shocked and the village chief was rushing over after learning that an immortal had descended, five men in black robes fell from the sky again. This time they did not fall, but flew down!
However, among the five black-robed men who descended this time, only two could fly with the help of objects, while the other three had relatively weak skills and were being carried by them to fly.
“Junior Brother Chen, it’s been a month since you broke through the Spiritual Foundation Realm. You still fell from the air while flying. You really brought shame to our Corpse Demon Sect.” The leading black-robed man laughed sarcastically at the black-robed man who fell.
