Although the White Tiger's Seven Sabers that were passed down from ancient times made Shi Xuan a little curious, he still had other questions to ask, "Then how did the Chi Clan's village survive in the Shiwan Mountains? There are no powerful demon beasts nearby, but there are still many Qi Gatherer Stage in the depths of the forest. Well, they are demon beasts that can transform into humans. If any one of them passes by, your village will be destroyed. "
Chi Yao's dimples appeared on her left face, "The forest within tens of thousands of miles is the territory of the Gu God Sect of Qing Zhu Peak. As long as we pay the offerings on time, they will guarantee the safety of this area. Of course, there will definitely be some omissions, like my father and the others. But most of the time, the village is safe. Even if there are powerful demon beasts attacking, the formation set up by the Gu God Sect will resist for a while. After that, the Gu God Sect will send people to kill the demon beasts. "
After a pause, she continued, "Moreover, many Earth Immortals are hunting demon beasts in the forest outside, so the demon beasts don't dare to go out of the depths of the mountains." She didn't have much common sense in the cultivation world. Apart from knowing about the Gu God Sect, she even regarded the individual cultivators who were hunting demon beasts as Earth Immortals. Although there were indeed many Qi Gatherer Stage cultivators and even Divine Soul Stage masters, the latter two should not be easily encountered by the people of the Chi Clan in the depths of the Innumerable Huge Mountains.
Shi Xuan nodded. He finally understood the background of the Chi Clan, "How do you want I to help you? Kill all the Zhang Clan members? But that won't solve the problem. I can't stay here forever. Then you will be forced to marry the Fang Clan, the Liu Clan, the Xi Clan, and so on. "
Chi Yao was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer. Although she was smart and quick-witted, she was too young and hadn't thought about many things.
"I want to ask you, do you want to be the leader?" Shi Xuan had to use this question to inspire her.
"No, I have a lot of things to do and a lot of pressure. Moreover, I have to lead everyone to hunt, and my martial arts is not good enough." Chi Yao answered straightforwardly.
"Then don't be. Don't you have a few brothers from the same clan? The oldest of them are already eight or nine years old, which is about the same age as you were when you became the Fort Master. You can totally become the Fort Master, "Shi Shuan said with a faint smile.
Chi Yao panicked: "No, if I wasn't the leader of the Gu God Sect, they would've already tied me up in the bridal room."
Shi Shuan's expression didn't change. He understood why Chi Yao's family could always be the chief of the stronghold, especially when there were only a few orphans and widows left. The Zhang family also wanted to achieve the purpose of controlling the stronghold in this roundabout way. From another perspective, the Zhang family had not yet established a relationship with the Gu God Sect, so this matter was easier to deal with. "Don't you still have me? After you let your younger brother become the chief, you used his young age as an excuse to set up an elders' association. You let the wise elders of each family join and take charge of the daily affairs of the stronghold. This is called delegating authority. This way, after they become the administrators, they won't be able to force you to marry Zhang Qi because of the decline of the stronghold, because this is something they have to solve, not you. "
"The other families are not as powerful as the Zhang family. If they want to have more power in the Elders' Clan, some of them have to unite and use your name to fight against the Zhang family. This is called division. So, you won't have to face everyone in the village alone, but you will have a solid backing to face the other two or three families. "
Shi Xuan analyzed the situation to Chi Yao. Chi Yao's panicked expression slowly disappeared, and she nodded frequently. In the end, Shi Xuan said, "Then, I will show some tricks. The Zhang family will definitely not dare to take such a risk if they don't get much benefits from you after obtaining you. You are not the leader of the village, and your martial arts are poor. Besides being young and beautiful, what else can the Zhang family see in you? If Zhang Qi wants to take action, it is only his and his family's behavior. It has nothing to do with the Zhang family. Can't we deal with it? "
Chi Yao pouted at Shi Xuan's last words. Was he that bad? But she still had an important thing to ask, "But, won't the leader become a puppet? Our Chi family has been passed down for thousands of years. "
Shi Xuan said in a tone of teaching the younger generation, "So, no matter how many tricks you have, they are only temporary. Only your own strength is fundamental. You have to remember this."
"Little Yao will definitely remember Granduncle's words." Chi Yao admired Shi Xuan more and more. She looked at this young granduncle with admiration. It was said that the age of the land immortals was far greater than their appearance. This granduncle was knowledgeable and had good vision. He must be an old man who had lived for hundreds of years!
"As long as the leader of the Chi family grows up with good martial arts and contacts the Gu God Sect, it will be easy to take back the position. But will others let him grow up? During this time, will others build a relationship with the Gu God Sect? This is not something you can control. This is because you are not strong enough. Speaking of which, if Zhang Qi doesn't care and sneaks in to rape you in the middle of the night, can you resist? "Shi Xuan continued to remind Chi Yao.
"But I really have no talent in martial arts, especially those who use knives and sticks." Chi Yao looked at Shi Xuan pitifully.
Shi Xuan took out a jade slip and ordered Chi Yao, "Bring me a stack of white paper."
Chi Yao went into the room expectantly and took out a roll of white cloth, "Granduncle, is this an immortal cultivation method? Are you going to teach me? Also, there is only yellow paper. Why not use this white cloth? "
"Okay." Shi Xuan picked up the jade slip and put it on the white cloth. The white cloth rolled by itself and was soon full of words. Chi Yao's eyes lit up, "This, this is an immortal cultivation method? It's so magical! "
"Although I won't take you as a disciple, I can still teach you ordinary immortal cultivation methods. Of course, if you can't learn it, then don't mention it. Go find a good man who can fight against Zhang Qi and marry him. If you can get started, ask I if you have any questions. "Shi Xuan interrupted Chi Yao's thoughts and gave her some hope.
"Yes." Although she couldn't be taken in as a disciple by granduncle, it was still good to have an immortal cultivation method! So Chi Yao smiled until her eyes squinted.
"I see that your body is soft and more inclined to water. This" Soft Water Technique "is suitable for you. Read it first, I will explain it to you. "Shi Xuan pointed at the white cloth on the table.
The next day, Chi Yao courageously visited the elders with the surnames Fang, Liu, Xi, Fu, and Wang. That afternoon, these elders announced that Chi Yao's performance in the past three years was not good, so she volunteered to let her cousin Chi Mo take over as the village master. Chi Mo was only nine years old, so the elders' council was established to help him make decisions.
At this time, the Zhang family only knew about this. However, because they were facing a coalition of several families, and the elders' council also had a quota for them, they could only pinch their noses and accept it.
The village's attention on Chi Yao's marriage disappeared in an instant. After all, Chi Yao was still young. Only Zhang Qi continued to think about this matter.
That night, to celebrate the establishment of the elders' council, bonfires were lit one after another in the village. Thousands of people sang, danced, ate, and drank.
"Little Yao, I heard that your pretty boy is some kind of living immortal?" Zhang Qi led a group of people and surrounded Chi Yao while he was tipsy. He shouted loudly. The others who were singing, dancing, drinking, eating, and talking at the side all stopped and looked at Chi Yao. Chi Yao, who did not have any good tricks in the past three years, made a clever move today after a guest came yesterday. If you said that it had nothing to do with that guest, no one would believe it.
"Oh, this little friend is looking for I?" Shi Xuan walked over. Today, he asked the elders and the strong men who often went hunting in the village. There was no sign of Yin Yang Aura within a few hundred miles, but there were some other evil auras. It seemed that the area near Chi Clan's village that his master mentioned was not as good. Seeing Zhang Qi pick a fight, it was exactly what Shi Xuan wanted. Otherwise, how could he find a chance to show off his tricks? Thus, he used a condescending tone.
Zhang Qi was angered by Shi Xuan's tone. In addition, he was tipsy. He held a big jar of wine and said, "You, aren't you a living immortal? If you have the ability, drink all of this jar of wine! "
The others did not think that Shi Xuan could not drink it, especially those Nuance Realm martial artists. They could feel the faint pressure from Shi Xuan's body and were even more certain that this young Daoist could drink it. However, now was a good opportunity to see how strong he was. Thus, everyone focused their attention on Shi Xuan.
"How about this, I drink one jar, and you drink one bowl." After Shi Xuan finished speaking, he did not wait for Zhang Qi to reply. He picked up the big jar and drank it all. In a short while, Shi Xuan turned the jar upside down. Not a single drop of wine fell.
Zhang Qi could not stand Shi Xuan's slightly mocking gaze and said loudly, "Okay, I'll drink." He picked up a bowl of wine from the hands of the people beside him and drank it all. Then, he looked at Shi Xuan provocatively and said, "If you have the ability, drink more!"
Shi Xuan smiled and did not say anything. He walked to the jar of wine in a few steps and drank it all.
One jar, two jars, three jars … In the beginning, the people of Chi Village were still very calm. However, as Shi Xuan drank more and more, their eyes widened. When Shi Xuan drank 50 jars, some people had already begun to rub their eyes. The others wanted to stare at Shi Xuan's stomach. Where did all the wine go? His stomach was not bulging! Was he really a living immortal?!
For the people of Chi Clan's village, the small number of cultivators they usually saw were all below the Qi Gatherer stage. Although the people of the Gu God Sect were strong, they cultivated with their Natal Venomous Insects. Perhaps they were more sinister and strange than Shi Xuan, but when it came to the orthodox methods of the Dao Sect, the difference was huge.
A small camouflage technique and the Yin and Yang bottle that was hidden in his mouth made these people of Chi Village turn pale with fright! Could it be that there was as much wine in their village as a big lake?!
Zhang Qi checked the soil where Shi Xuan was standing in disbelief and found that there was no wine poured on it. He looked up at Shi Xuan in horror and said, "It must be an illusion, it must be an illusion." It seemed that Zhang Qi was quite knowledgeable.
"Since you said it was an illusion, then where is the illusion? Where's the wine? "Shi Xuan looked at Zhang Qi indifferently.
Zhang Qi touched the wine jars and found that there was indeed no wine in them. At this moment, he had already sobered up from the drunkenness, but he still refused to admit defeat and said, "I, I don't believe that you are a living immortal. If you have the ability, then you can call the wind and summon the rain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally dark sky became even darker. Then, gusts of wind blew, and suddenly, layers of faint black fog appeared around the bonfire.
Then, it began to drizzle in the village. The rain was mellow and fragrant. It turned out to be good wine. Just the smell alone was much better than the wine in his village.
"Immortal wine falls from the sky, I ride the dragon and return." In the rain and fog, the people of Chi Village only saw the young Taoist chanting two sentences. Then, a huge black dragon with distinct scales and horns flew out of nowhere and bowed respectfully at Shi Xuan's feet. Then, this ordinary-looking young Taoist stepped on it. Then, the black dragon carried Shi Xuan and leisurely flew back to Chi Yao's two-story bamboo building.
With a thud, one of the people of Chi Village's legs went soft and he knelt in the rain. Plop, plop, plop. Everyone knelt down one after another, muttering to themselves, "A living immortal!"
