Douluo: the strongest village head in ten thousand realms

Chapter 24 The Unknown Past

Early the next morning, Ning Qiu got up early, and Xiao Wu came to the small square of Holy Soul Village.

It was just dawn, and the sun had not yet risen. In front of the small square of the village, there was an old man standing there.The eyes of the old man stared at the stone pillar on the pool in front of him.There is a handprint on the stone pillar.That was the handprint left by the village soul sage.

"Grandpa Jack, good morning." Ning Qiu greeted Old Jack.

"Village Chief, good morning." Old Jack turned around and greeted Ning Qiu.

"Grandpa Jack, good morning." Xiao Wu also greeted Old Jack.

"Well, Xiao Wu, good morning." Old Jack showed a kind smile.

"Grandpa Jack, even though I am the village head now, you should still call me Ning Qiu. Such a title sounds good to my ears." Ning Qiu replied.

"No. You are the head of the village now. I have to call you the head of the village. How can I call you by your first name?" Old Jack said pedantically.

"Okay." Ning Qiu reluctantly compromised, pedantry is the unique character of elderly people.Regarding this point, Ning Qiu can't change it either.
"Ning Qiu, now that you have become the head of the village, there is one thing I need to tell you." Old Jack's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"Tell me." Ning Qiu said.

"Ning Qiu, the handprint of the village is actually left by my grandfather." Old Jack said.

"Your grandfather?" Ning Qiu was taken aback.

"Well. My grandfather is a level 71 soul saint. His martial soul is the same as mine, a sickle. Unfortunately, my great-grandfather did not pass on a good martial soul to him. When he awakened his martial soul, Although he has soul power, he doesn't have a good cultivation qualification. My grandfather works very hard and only sleeps for six hours a day. The rest of the time is spent on cultivation except eating, drinking and sleeping. It can be said that he is better than Ordinary people have worked hard several times. But, so what?" Old Jack's eyes showed a touch of sadness.

Ning Qiu didn't interrupt, and listened quietly to Old Jack's words.

"No matter how hard my grandfather tries, he will only stop at the realm of a soul sage in the end. A good martial soul is really very important to a soul master."

"One time when I went out, my grandfather met an evil soul master. Although the evil soul master was killed in the end, my grandma died because of him. Disheartened, my grandfather returned to the Village. He hated himself very much, hated that he was not strong enough to protect the one he loved. Annoyed, he broke the stone pillar and left this handprint on the stone pillar!"

"In other words, this handprint is not the glory of our village at all, but the helplessness of our village. Now, your magical land allows every villager to have the hope of becoming a soul master. In my opinion, this Not necessarily a good thing!"

Old Jack stared at Muchen, and told the past about the village's handprints.

"Grandpa Jack, what are you worried about?" Ning Qiu asked.

"There is hope, which means there will be despair. There is nothing worse than death. The most painful thing for people is helplessness. Now the villagers in the village can become soul masters, and in the future they will embark on a different path from the farmers If you can't become a top powerhouse like Contra and Title Douluo, I don't think it's a good thing for Saint Soul Village. The world of soul masters has been very uneven recently!" Old Jack said earnestly road.

To put it bluntly, Old Jack was worried about the future safety of the villagers of Holy Soul Village.Once you become a soul master, you will be involved in the vortex of struggle in the future.There could be bloodshed at any time.

There are many forces in the soul master world, and in the future, the villagers of Holy Soul Village will also join various forces.At that time, it is inevitable to live on knife edge again.Especially people in the same village may have to fight against each other.Although it is hard to become a farmer, becoming a soul master does not necessarily lead to happiness.

"Grandpa Jack, what's wrong with you? Isn't it your dream to let someone in the village become a soul master?" Ning Qiu asked suspiciously.

"I..." Old Jack paused, for a moment, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.Suddenly everyone in the village can become a soul master, why is he scared instead!
"Grandpa Jack, I can understand what you mean. Don't worry, I, Ning Qiu, will either not do it. Since I want to do it, I will do it best." Ning Qiu said solemnly.

As a time traveler, Ning Qiu has a very good understanding of the situation in the mainland.There are many forces in the world of soul masters. In order to avoid some tragedies and deal with the upcoming turmoil in the mainland, it is necessary for Ning Qiu to do something about the holy soul village.

"Yes." Old Jack patted Ning Qiu on the shoulder.

"Grandpa Jack, are you busy?" Ning Qiu asked again.

"I'm not busy. I used to be the village head, and I didn't have much to do in a day. Now even the land under my name is contracted by the village, so I don't have anything to be busy with." Old Jack said with a smile.

"Grandpa Jack, can you accompany me to the Star Dou Forest?" Ning Qiu immediately invited again.

"Star Dou Forest?" Old Jack was taken aback, apparently he had heard of Star Dou Forest.

"En." Ning Qiu nodded heavily.

"Son, what are you going to do in the Star Dou Forest?" Old Jack asked.

"This is a secret." Ning Qiu thought, before he grows up, it's better not to let others know more about the village's secrets.Even if it is a trial task about upgrading the village, it will not be known to others for the time being.

"Son, you may not know. The Star Dou Forest is a paradise for soul beasts. Not to mention thousand-year soul beasts, there are also soul beasts with a ten-thousand-year lifespan, and even soul beasts with a lifespan of 10 years. 10 For a ten thousand year spirit beast, even if it is a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level, few would dare to challenge it single-handedly." Old Jack advised earnestly.

"I know, but I have no choice." Ning Qiu said helplessly.

The trial task of upgrading the village requires Ning Qiu to go to the Star Dou Forest.And let at least three soul beasts become registered villagers of the host village.

"Do you have to go?" Old Jack asked.

"Yes. Grandpa Jack, don't worry, you just need to take us to the forest. The next thing, I will do it." Ning Qiu replied.

Considering their age, even though Ning Qiu and Xiao Wu are soul masters now, it is still very unsafe for them to go to the Star Dou Forest.It's not that he's afraid of the low-level soul beasts he touches on the road, but that he's afraid that someone will bully them as children.To be on the safe side, Ning Qiu thought, if old Jack was with him, there would be less trouble.

"This..." Old Jack still hesitated.

"Jack, don't worry. I'm [-]% sure about this trip. It's always a good thing to have an adult traveling with us. As long as I arrive at the Star Dou Forest safely, I'm [-]% sure that I can be safe." Come out of the forest alive." Ning Qiu said solemnly.

"Are you sure?" Old Jack asked.

"I'm sure. If you don't take me, then I can only ask my sixth uncle to accompany me. If sixth uncle Ning refuses, I will go with Xiao Wu." Ning Qiu replied firmly .

"Okay." Seeing Ning Qiu's persistence, Old Jack could only nod his head.

Ning Qiu was already a soul master at a young age.In Old Jack's heart, he was reluctant to send Ning Qiu to die.Ning Qiu's first soul ring was still a standard hundred-year soul ring.Old Jack remembered that his grandfather's first spirit ring was a white ten-year spirit ring.For Old Jack, Ning Qiu is the hope of the village.
