Chapter 60: Relying on Your Younger Sister When Traveling Abroad

The atmosphere.

Suddenly became oppressive.

The world seemed to stand still, and all things lost their sound.

The hunchbacked, bald old man's smile stiffened. Finally, he stretched out his withered, chicken-claw-like palm and rubbed his cheeks continuously, purely using external force to knead a brilliant smile onto his face before joyfully saying:

"Good,"

"That's great."

"It's remote here, and very few people come. It's not easy for someone to come, but they don't look down on the things in our village."

"Finally met someone who truly likes them."

"What kind of return gift is needed? Isn't that looking down on us?"

The old village chief patted his chest and said: "We may be poor, but we have ambition."

"Du family's daughter-in-law, go to my house and bring the black chicken I raised for the little brother to take away."

"It nourishes blood and strengthens the spleen, nourishes yin and replenishes blood; this is best for women."

Du old lady's eyes stared straight at Dou Changsheng, never moving away. Her mouth twitched several times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't speak, and finally suppressed it forcefully.

Seeing this, the old village chief said angrily: "What are you still standing there for?"

"Why don't you hurry up."

"If we neglect the little brother and the news spreads, outsiders will think we don't understand etiquette."

"What do I usually say? People can be poor, but they cannot lose their backbone, and they cannot be ignorant of etiquette."

Du old lady moved her gaze away, and a hoarse voice sounded: "Wait!"

She picked up the pole and walked into the village. Watching Du old lady leave, the old village chief's smile became even more brilliant, and he laughed and said: "The little brother's surname is Dou, right!"

"I just thought you looked familiar. It's my fault for not recognizing you immediately."

"A Human Ranking expert, a young hero."

"First time on the ranking, ranked seventy-ninth, truly a rare talent in the world."

"A big figure like you being able to come to our small village really makes us shine."

"We should have slaughtered chickens and sheep to treat Young Hero Dou well, but it's not very convenient in the village recently. Old Li from the east end of the village entered the forest a few days ago and got lost. By the time we found him, he had already starved to death outside."

"We just held a funeral for Old Li last night, and the village has been very busy these few days."

"The hospitality is not good."

"The village is also poor, so we can only take a black chicken as an apology."

As the old village chief's words fell, Du old lady had already walked back, holding a black chicken with a small head, short neck, black eyes, small crown, and short wings.

Ignoring the black chicken's struggle, the old village chief took the black chicken with his withered, chicken-claw-like palm, delivered it to Dou Changsheng himself, and then assumed a posture of seeing off a guest, as if he didn't want to see Dou Changsheng again.

Dou Changsheng knew when to stop and didn't push his luck.

The situation in front of him was not right, and he also had doubts in his heart.

This world, how is it so dangerous.

Where did these dangerous guys pop out from?

It's fine if the city is dangerous; after all, people die for wealth and birds die for food. Rich people will gather in big cities, and the strong are similar. Major cities have many strong people; that's the reason.

But a remote village like this should not have seen a few martial artists in a lifetime. How is it that here, one is more dangerous than the other?

It gives Dou Changsheng a feeling that the village is too dangerous and he wants to return to the city.

Dou Changsheng carried the black chicken, stared deeply at the old village chief, then looked at Du old lady, and finally turned and left.

Watching Dou Changsheng's back gradually disappear, the old village chief's smile gradually began to dissipate. His gaze became profound, and finally, he looked at Du old lady, filled with coldness. His expression was gloomy, ghostly, like an evil ghost.

A gloomy voice sounded: "Were you planning to leave just now?"

"Don't forget, you begged me bitterly back then."

"I saw you were pitiful, so I allowed you to live here."

"How many years has it been?"

"You actually intend to betray me."

"Old Li didn't want to live, do you think you've lived enough too?"

Du old lady gave a bitter smile, reached out and pointed at herself, and finally pulled, pulling off a handful of dry silver-white hair, slowly letting go, and letting it drift away with the wind, scattering on the ground.

"Is this living?"

"Neither human nor ghost?"

The old village chief sneered and said: "How can you live without paying a price?"

"You people are really too greedy. You want to live, and you want to be healthy and free from all diseases."

"But where in the world does such a good thing come from?"

"When I was young, I was also a famous handsome man, but now I've fallen into this ghostly state. Who can I reason with?"

"I am just too easy to talk to, so there are always people who go against me."

"A hundred years ago, I went to Changzhou. There was an ancient battlefield there with extremely heavy yin energy. I impersonated the Changzhou Governor and, with the help of the imperial court's power, changed the layout of the Changzhou state city and established a Yin-Gathering Array."

"To this day, the pure yin energy collected is almost at its limit. In the remaining days, abnormalities will inevitably appear continuously."

"Old Li thought that if he died, everything would be over. He is daydreaming."

"In these few days, I will use secret arts to reorganize his remains. When eighty-one days pass, it will be the time to wake him up."

"If I don't speak, even if he dies, he will turn into a ghost and be driven by me."

"I'll give you a piece of news: Great Liang City has been turbulent recently. The Master of the Mechanism Gate, Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements—Gongshu Duwang—has been very active recently. Taking advantage of Northern Jin destroying the barriers between the Liang Lands and the Northern Lands, causing the heroes of the Liang Lands to be indignant, he has been constantly connecting with all sides. This is to cause trouble."

"Your Du Clan, as a great clan of Great Liang, is the first to bear the brunt."

Du old lady shook her head and said: "When I came back then, I still couldn't let go of the Du Clan, but these days, neither human nor ghost, the Du Clan has its own blessings and cannot count on an old thing like me who is half-dead."

The old village chief mocked: "Stubborn."

"Don't worry, I have no ideas."

"I am single-mindedly pursuing the opening of the Netherworld and establishing reincarnation."

"I'm telling you just to say it. If you want to save the Du Clan, you can find me at any time."

"The price is also very simple. My desolate village cannot truly turn into the Netherworld, and every time it falls short of success. People who have been dead for too long have stale death energy and yin energy. I need a large number of living people to die miserably."

"The previous generation, eleventh on the Earth Ranking, your strength is enough to set off a catastrophe."

Du old lady was silent and said with difficulty: "Nether Daoist, you are a Heaven Ranking powerhouse; it's easier for you to do it."

Nether Daoist sneered: "Although I often deal with the dead, my hands are not stained with blood. I have never killed a person in my life."

"I am a good person."

"I have always been irreconcilable with evil!"

"Pack up your things. This place has been discovered by that demoness; we have to change places." ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
