Hearing the middle-aged man's scolding, the young man shrank his neck and said quickly:

"Dad, this is not my fault. It's because this little chicken is too fast."

While he was talking, the young man had already arrived near the village.

Lu Changzhi took a look at the boy's information:

[Name]: Shi Meng

[Realm]: Fourth level of body refining

【Qualification】: Yellow grade medium

【Constitution】: Mortal body

【Talent】: Energetic

........

Very ordinary personal information, nothing special about it.

At this time, Shi Meng also noticed Lu Changzhi, and looked at him with surprise and curiosity, and said:

"A guest from outside?"

As soon as the voice fell, the middle-aged man walked out of the house and urged:

"Come back and eat!"

After saying this, the man smiled at Lu Changzhi and said:

"Dahei is just a naughty kid, don't take it seriously."

"No problem." Lu Zhangzhi smiled and continued walking towards the village chief's house.

Shi Qinglin arrived at the door without knowing when. Seeing Lu Chang coming, they went in together, made a pot of tea, and then the old and the young started chatting.

From the conversation, Lu Changzhi learned that Shanhai Village has been here for quite some time.

The name of the village comes from the meaning of being close to the mountains and the sea. Now there are about a hundred households in the village.

There are some records about practitioners in the village, but not many. With their abilities, they can survive in this mountain forest and be self-sufficient. However, it would be extremely difficult to walk out by foot alone.

Therefore, this kind of life has been maintained.

As for why he became alert when he saw them coming, perhaps it was because they had talked so much. Shi Qinglin also explained it to Lu Changzhi.

There is not only Shanhai Village in the mountains and forests, there are also some other villages, and there is some communication between them.

Many years ago, villagers from other neighboring villages encountered a practitioner and brought him back to the village. However, they did not expect that the practitioner would want to take away the village stele in the ancestral temple, saying that it was some good material that could be used in various ways.

However, the village stele was of great significance to the village and it could not be taken away by outsiders at will, let alone used for other purposes. Naturally, it was rejected.

Unexpectedly, because of this incident, the village chief and a large number of strong men in the village were killed by the enemy, and not even a complete corpse was left.

The bloody truth made the nearby villages realize that practitioners are more terrifying than beasts.

You can run away when wild beasts come, but practitioners have their own unique way of dealing with people, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people to withstand.

Practitioners are therefore regarded as a scourge and a monster.

"so it is."

After hearing this, Lu Changzhi shook his head slightly:

"There are black and white in the sky, good and bad in people, and the same is true for those who practice cultivation. It's just that the power brought by practice amplifies the black and white, good and evil."

After a pause, Lu Chang said:

"But don't worry, village chief. I brought him here just to let him experience village life, nothing else."

Shi Qinglin heard this and waved his hands:

"I have lived for so many years, I still have some vision. I can see that you are not one of those practitioners out there."

"If you need anything, just let us know and anyone who can help will help."

After some conversation, Lu Changzhi returned to his residence.

Shanhai Village seems to have always been such a small village.

The location here is good, there are no monsters nearby, mostly wild beasts. The people here do not practice cultivation, but with their accumulated experience and cooperation with each other, hunting and fishing, as well as farming and growing crops, it is not difficult for them to be self-sufficient.

Compared to some mundane cities and villages in the surrounding areas, this place has less unnecessary troubles and can be a good place.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Changzhi's spiritual sense reached out and saw the big black guy, or Shi Meng, outside the door.

Most children in the village have proper names, but they are mostly called by nicknames. Following the idea that local names are easier to raise, most nicknames are very simple, such as Erya, Huzi, Choumao, etc.

"Sir, are you asleep?"

As Shi Meng's voice fell, Lu Changzhi raised his hand and opened the door.

Shi Meng was holding an oiled wooden plate with a steaming roasted chicken on it. When he saw Lu Changzhi, he passed the plate to him and said,

"My father said that the master came here in a hurry, and there was nothing to offer in the village. This chicken was just roasted. My father said that if the master doesn't mind, he can accept it."

After saying this, Shi Meng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but say:

"Many villagers say my roasted chicken is delicious. Sir, you must try it."

In his expression, one can vaguely see the pride that is unique to children.

Seeing this, Lu Zhangzhi smiled and said:

"I just haven't had dinner yet. Thank you very much."

As he spoke, Lu Zhangzhi took the oil tray.

"Remember to tell me if it tastes good, and I'll grill it for you," Shi Meng said excitedly.

Lu Zhangzhi nodded, looked at Shi Meng, and suddenly asked:

"Anything else?"

He saw the confusion in Shi Meng's eyes.

When asked, Shi Meng lowered his voice a little and asked:

"Sir, can we come and play with you in the future?"

"We?" Lu Changzhi asked back.

Shi Meng nodded and looked back:

"The gentleman is from outside. Monkey and Arya all want to hear stories from outside."

After saying this, Shi Meng quickly added:

"If you don't want to, we won't bother you."

After saying this, Shi Meng did not forget to glance in the direction of his home, as if he was afraid of hearing some scolding.

When Lu Chang's thoughts spread out, he saw a group of children hiding behind a house at a certain distance behind him, with expectant looks on their faces.

At that moment, he smiled and said:

"Of course."

Shi Meng's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Sir, you are so kind. If you like this roast chicken, I will try my best to catch it and roast it for you in the future."

After saying this, Shi Meng said goodbye and left quickly.

Soon, the sound of children cheering was heard not far away.

Behind the door, Lu Changzhi smiled slightly.

"It's nice to be carefree."

In the world of cultivation, among the cultivation families, Shi Meng has to prepare for cultivation. Although the others who are younger have not started yet, they also need to start understanding the knowledge related to cultivation.

Even among the ordinary people, one is troubled by whether or not one can become a practitioner.

However, the small village between the mountains and the sea is isolated from these things.

Although he had just arrived, Lu Changzhi felt that this feeling was very good.

After taking a bite of the roast chicken on the plate, Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up slightly.

Although the raw materials are not as high-end as those from Yinyuan Peak, and the production cannot be at the same level as Ling'er's skills, the seasonings used in this roast chicken and the degree of roasting present a different and unique flavor.

In one go, Lu Changzhi ate everything up.

There is a feeling that something is not yet complete.

"It looks like this is a great place to be."

The mountain village and delicious food are the icing on the cake.
