Ye Futian looked at Old Ma next to him. Old Ma looked up at the sky and seemed to be lost in his memories.
"Back then, that kid studied under Master and was favored by Master. He was extraordinarily talented, and his cultivation was very impressive. Later, just like you, many outsiders came to the village, and one of them found Little Tie. It was a powerful force in the Shangqing Domain, and they treated Little Tie very well. They were very close, and they even became brothers. Little Tie then followed them out of the village."
Old Ma continued slowly, "Later, the people who came back from the village said that Tie Brat was very famous outside. Countless people knew his name and made a name for Four Corner Village. But in fact, this went against the master's original intention. The master said that after leaving the village, he should not mention the village to outsiders and not think about making a name for the village. Maybe the master knew that it would bring disaster."
"Later, when the villagers heard about Tie Brat again, there were some bad rumors. After that, he returned to the village. He was blind, half dead, and covered in blood. It was the master who saved his life. From then on, Tie Brat became Blind Tie. He didn't like to talk anymore and forged iron in the blacksmith's shop every day. Later, we heard that Blind Tie was betrayed by his' brother, 'and his unique skill was also learned by someone else. The only thing he gained was that he brought back a boy, who he risked his life to bring back. That boy was Tie Tou."
It was a simple and slightly cliché story. How many things had happened behind it?
Perhaps only Blind Tie himself knew the truth.
Ye Futian didn't expect Blind Tie of the blacksmith's shop to have such a history. No wonder he didn't welcome them. If it weren't for Little Ling, Blind Tie wouldn't have welcomed them into his blacksmith's shop at all. After all, Blind Tie was betrayed by outsiders like them. Naturally, he had a strong sense of resistance.
"What kind of person is the master? Doesn't he want Four Corner Village to be famous?" Ye Futian asked again. Whether it was Little Ling, Tie Tou, or even the unruly Muyun Shu, they were all respectful to the master. Old Ma was already old, but he still called the master "master."
He had never heard of Sir's name. They all addressed him the same way.
"The teacher has been in Four Corner Village for many years. He is the guardian of Four Corner Village. When I was young, my grandfather told me that when his grandfather was still alive, the teacher was already protecting the teacher. It was the same for his grandfather's grandfather. Now, the villagers don't know how old the teacher is or how long he has been guarding the village. In the village, everyone listens to the teacher, including those powerful people." Old Ma continued, "The teacher often says that fortune and misfortune are closely intertwined. Four Corner Village is a special place. Once you leave the village, don't mention it to the outside world and don't come back again. You are only allowed to come back if you encounter a life-and-death situation outside. But once you come back, you are not allowed to go out again."
"The master himself teaches every day. He has never left the village, not even the private school, so no one really knows the master. However, it is said that many years ago, when Four Corner Village became famous, the village was in danger. Outsiders swarmed in and wanted to take the village for themselves, but they were repelled by the master. Later, an important figure came. Later, it was said that this important figure was the master of the outside world. He gave an order, and since then, no one dared to cause trouble in the village. Even if they did come, they would do so politely."
Ye Futian nodded. He naturally knew who the important figure Old Ma was talking about was. Donghuang the Great had been here!
After Donghuang the Great came, he studied here. Later, he proved his Way and unified the Divine Prefecture. He issued a ban to protect Four Corner Village, which was why it was where it was today.
Moreover, according to Old Ma, the master was the patron saint of Four Corner Village, but he never interfered with the affairs of the outside world. Even if there were some conflicts and grievances in the village, he never asked about them. As Old Ma said, no one really understood the master.
"What did the outsiders want? Why was Tie Tou's father betrayed? What did they want from him?" Ye Futian became more and more curious about everything in the village. Old Ma didn't seem to mind telling him, so he had more questions and continued to ask about other things.
"This is about the legend of the origin of the village," Old Ma said slowly. He looked at Ye Futian beside him and said, "You came to Four Corner Village. Don't you know anything about it?"
Ye Futian's group was probably the only one who didn't know much about Four Corner Village. The other cultivators in the Shangqing Domain naturally knew about it. After all, Four Corner Village was very famous in the Shangqing Domain. Although ordinary people might not know much about it because it was located in a remote area, the top forces in the Shangqing Domain all knew about it.
"I came from the Donghua Domain. I was recommended here by an elder, so I really don't know much about the village," Ye Futian said.
Old Ma nodded slightly and looked up at the sky. "Although Four Corner Village is just a small village, there is a legend circulating in the village. Countless years ago, the order of heaven and earth was different from today. At that time, there were many gods in the world who could summon the wind and rain. Among them, there was a god who was conferred the title of God of the Four Directions. He controlled the endless land and established the Divine Kingdom, which was also known as Four Corner Village in ancient times. Of course, many people may not believe it, but for the people in the village, even if you don't believe it, you will still believe it. Who doesn't want their family to have a glorious past? Moreover, the village is indeed a very magical place.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded in understanding.
The people in Four Corner Village may be born with different abilities. Some people have the talent to inherit the divine techniques and receive the blessings of their ancestors. According to them, some of the divine techniques have been lost, but some still exist. The Muyun family that Little Ling mentioned before has mastered one of the divine techniques. The people of the Muyun family are born with the Golden-winged Divine Roc Life Spirit and have unparalleled speed. It is said that one of the seven Lord Protectors rode a Golden-winged Divine Roc. Perhaps the Muyun family is the descendant of this line. "
Ye Futian listened quietly. Old Ma was talking about the Muyun family, but it reminded him of Blind Tie. Could it be …
"Tie Tou's father also inherited a divine technique, the Divine Hammer of the Protector. It is said that it was also learned by a Lord Protector. Back then, he was given a Divine Hammer of the Protector by the Four Corner Gods. It was used to guard a region and intimidate the world. Its power was unparalleled. Therefore, Tie Tou and his father were born with extraordinary strength."
Old Ma continued, "It is said that a treasure that Old Ma spent decades refining was also taken away by the person who betrayed him, along with that set of divine techniques."
Ye Futian was a little surprised. He saw the ability that Muyun Shu displayed before. At such a young age, Muyun Shu already had extraordinary power. At first glance, it was obvious that it was an extraordinary technique. He didn't expect it to have such a powerful background.
In that case, Tie Tou also wanted to use his ability but was stopped by his father.
Muyun Shu had obviously heard of the reputation of his father, Blind Tie. Therefore, he was a little afraid and didn't dare to make a move. Moreover, it seemed that this was also the reason why he provoked Tie Tou. They were both inheritors of the divine techniques, and they wanted to compete with each other to see who was stronger.
However, the Muyun family now had a high status in the village. He heard that Muyun Shu's brother was also an extraordinary figure outside the village. However, his brother was not in the village, but he could send messages back.
According to Old Ma, under normal circumstances, people who went out could not come back again.
"Then why does Four Corner Village allow outsiders to enter and invite them as guests?" Ye Futian continued to ask. This was also a very important part. It was said that only by being recognized by the villagers could one have the opportunity to obtain opportunities in Four Corner Village. This was what Li Changsheng told him!
But he didn't know exactly what kind of opportunities it was!
