"Huangmu Village welcomes the Immortal"
In the fourth year of Huangmu Village, Xiao Yuan invited an Immortal from Qingshan Town, more than 300 miles away. Huangmu Village welcomed the Immortal at the entrance of the village.
"No need to be polite"
Huang Liang glanced at the people in Huangmu Village, feeling helpless. He really looked down on such a weak village.
However, most of the nearby villages and towns have Immortal cultivators. Unless he defeats one of them, he will not be able to win.
But he is only at the fifth level of Qi training, and he has few magic weapons. Who can he beat? He can only barely defeat Huangmu Village.
"Immortal, please enter the village"
Xiao Yuan nodded and bowed to Huang Liang, very flattering. He had been planning to invite the Immortal to take charge two years ago, but when the Immortals heard that there were only a hundred people in Huangmu Village, mostly women and children, they basically refused. Only this Immortal did not despise them, so they naturally wanted to curry favor with him.
Huang Liang followed Xiao Yuan into the village. Seeing the scene in the village, he felt even more disappointed. This Huangmu Village had no special features at all. He even doubted whether Huangmu Village could give him the promised compensation.
The best house was built in the best location in the village, with a yard of 700 to 800 square meters. This was reserved for Huang Liang. He was quite satisfied with this. It was obvious that Huangmu Village had put some thought into it.
Huang Liang settled in Huangmu Village. Within a few days, Huang Liang asked Xiao Yuan for a woman. This was what had been agreed upon before. Xiao Yuan took a chance and introduced Huang Liang to a woman who was not betrothed to someone else in the village. He was so angry that he jumped up and cursed.
Huang Liang felt that these vulgar village women were only worthy of washing his clothes, cooking and emptying the toilet for him, and were not qualified to have children. Huang Liang gave up his great immortal path and came to Huangmu Village. His biggest idea was to reproduce.
Xiao Yuan had no choice but to take the money to Qingshan Town to find a woman for Huang Liang. In fact, it was quite easy to find one. Although Huang Liang looked to be in his fifties or sixties, he was still an immortal cultivator. Following an immortal cultivator, he would have no worries about food and drink, and his status was very high. This was already the highest demand of many mortal women. Without spending much, he married three wives for Huang Liang.
With a wife, Huang Liang wanted servants, so Xiao Yuan arranged five villagers for him to serve his family.
After that, there was no need to talk about exquisite clothes and meat meals. Xiao Yuan also tried his best to satisfy them. The villagers of Huangmu Village also thought it was normal because they had lived like this before, and they were even proud to be servants of immortals.
Three months later, Huang Liang found a weak spiritual vein more than ten miles west of Huangmu Village, and used it to open up thirty acres of spiritual fields, of which twenty-five acres were used to grow spiritual grains and five acres were used to grow low-level spiritual medicines.
Spiritual medicines have higher requirements, so Huang Liang takes care of them personally, but spiritual grains are the responsibility of the villagers. Spiritual grains are more precious than ordinary grains, and require much more labor. One-tenth of the labor force in Huangmu Village is used by Huang Liang, which immediately makes the few laborers in Huangmu Village stretched to the limit. Xiao Yuan was so worried that his hair turned white.
······
"Lin Kai, stop."
In the eighth year of Huangmu Village, Lin Jiang came back from outside the village carrying large and small prey and was stopped by a voice.
"Madam, what's the matter?"
Lin Jiang stopped and said to the man. This person was Huang Liang's wife, Xu, the daughter of a small family in Qingshan Town. She was beautiful, but her father was reluctant to marry her off and insisted on finding a rich family. He really waited for her. When she heard that the immortal wanted to marry, her family took the initiative to find Xiao Yuan.
"Give me the rabbit in your hand, my son wants to eat roasted rabbit"
"Madam, the offering for this month has been paid, I can't give you this rabbit"
"Lin Kai, do you want to die? That's what the son of the immortal wants to eat"
When Xu heard Lin Jiang's refusal, she was furious and immediately brought up the immortal.
"Lin Kai, give it to her, it's just a wild rabbit"
"Yes, Lin Kai, don't offend the immortal"
"Lin Kai, listen to your aunt..."
The villagers around saw Xu's anger and immediately tried to persuade Lin Kai, it's just a rabbit, don't offend the immortal.
"This rabbit is for the third aunt, her daughter just gave birth last month"
Lin Jiang shook his head, he promised to give this wild rabbit to the third aunt, Xiao Yuan recruited a few poor people from other places, and someone married the third aunt's daughter, and the third aunt was actually good to him.
"Lin Kai, you wait for me. When my immortal husband comes back, I will drive you out."
After hearing what Lin Jiang said, Xu became even angrier. If it weren't for Lin Jiang's muscular body, she would have hit him.
"It's true that we invited Immortal Huang, but we built Huangmu Village with our own hands. He has no say in who to drive out."
Lin Jiang was also angry. Huang Liang was actually okay in the past few years. He was not a good person, but he was not a bad person either. However, his wife and concubine were not good people. Relying on Huang Liang's support, they acted arrogantly in the village and beat and scolded the villagers at will. They were only polite to Xiao Yuan. What
Lin Jiang could not stand the most was that Xu and her family regarded Huangmu Village as their own private property and believed that all the property in the village belonged to their family.
Of course, this was also true in other villages and towns. Every immortal guarding other villages and towns was not a founder. They were all losers on the road of cultivating immortals and had no hope of advancement, so they fell into the trap of standing among mortals.
However, there was a huge gap between immortals and mortals. Once they reproduced, it would not take many years for them to occupy most of the village's property. The Qi family, from which Lin Jiang bought the order of ascending immortals, was also the same. Huang Liang was also like this now, but his family's descendants had not grown up yet. In another ten or twenty years, Huangmu Village would really be named Huang.
But this was still unbearable for Lin Jiang. Huangmu Village was worthless in his opinion. Ten spirit stones could buy everything in the village. But no matter how worthless it was, everything in the village had his blood and sweat.
He had participated in the creation of the wooden houses, courtyards, farmlands in the valley, and roads in the village. He had feelings for them.
"Mr. Lin, you, you, are good. You dare to make up stories about immortals. I tell you, you are finished. You are finished..."
Xu pointed at Lin Jiang and yelled. Lin Jiang rolled his eyes. Stupid woman, you can't even curse. If it weren't for Huang Liang's support, any woman in the village could scold you.
Lin Jiang ignored her and came to his third aunt's house with the prey. When his third aunt saw Lin Jiang coming, she smiled.
"Lin Kai, come here, let me make you some new clothes. See how they look."
"Third Aunt's craftsmanship is beyond reproach. Let's deal with the prey first. It's hot, don't let it go bad."
Lin Jiang said. He had put away everything that was needed by the immortal cultivator. All the things that the family had sewn and patched in the past few years were made by Third Aunt for him. At first, she wanted to impress Lin Jiang and let him marry her daughter, but later, she saw that Lin Jiang really didn't mean to do so and had gotten used to it.
"Okay, there are so many prey today, two rabbits and three pheasants, enough to eat for several days."
"Give my sister more nourishment, let her stay in confinement for a few more days, so that she will suffer less when she is old."
"Lin Kai, you still know how to care for others. It's not like... Oh, forget it, I won't say anything. I'll go deal with it."
Third Aunt said. Her daughter was looking for a son-in-law, a live-in son-in-law. How many good men could be a live-in son-in-law? She just thought her son-in-law was too dull and honest.
Lin Jiang didn't say much. He thought that the son-in-law of his third aunt's family was already very good. It was enough to have an honest and decent man. What else was there to think about? Who would want to be a son-in-law if he was really capable?
In the evening, people who went out to work came back one after another. Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan heard about the conflict between Lin Jiang and Xu, and came to persuade Lin Jiang to apologize to Xu. Even if the matter was over, Lin Jiang was still the third in command of the village.
"There's no need to apologize.
I don't have the heart to do so." "Lin Kai, don't be so stubborn. That's the wife of an immortal."
"Uncle Xiao, Fang Yuan, I want to ask you something."
"You say."
"Have you ever thought that your sons and grandsons will become slaves of Huang Liang's sons and grandsons in the future?"
"This..."
"The Huang family regards the village as theirs. Now that you are still alive, Huang Liang should give you some face. In another ten or twenty years, you will be dead. Will anyone in the village dare to confront them?
We have struggled to survive and fled from afar. What is it for? Is it just to live? Then why didn't we agree to be slaves when we went to other villages to ask for help?
We humans need to live, it's true, but we also need to live with dignity and let our descendants have dignity. We are the masters of Huangmu Village, and Huang Liang was invited by us. We can't let him become the host,"
Lin Jiang said to them. Other villages might not be able to change this outcome, but Huangmu Village absolutely could not. He would not allow it.
"This..."
Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan were shocked. They had thought about this before, but they were just mortals. How could they fight against immortals? The children of immortals might become immortals in the future, but their children were just mortals.
"Good boy, I didn't expect that 90 kilograms of your 100-jin body would be rebellious. It seems that Huangmu Village will not keep you."
Just when Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan were unable to refute, a voice exploded at the door. Xiao Yuan and Fang Yuan looked back and their faces suddenly changed. Huang Liang had heard their conversation.
