"Water collection will be canceled today and farm work will be suspended for one day. The specific situation will depend on what happens tomorrow and whether the weird one has gone far."

After returning to the village smoothly, Niu Yaoyang issued such an order.

"What level do you think that weird one will be?"

On the side, Niu Dazhuang asked Chu Ge curiously. This scene made Chu Ge look like a veteran who had been in the guard for several years.

So he rolled his eyes and said.

"Uncle Zhuang, I haven't seen many of them yet!"

"However, judging from the weird power, it should be stronger than us, but not too much stronger, otherwise it would not be driven away by the fire."

The weird one was not dead, Gu Xing was sure of this because he didn't see the gray mist.

Niu Dazhuang nodded.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen such a terrifying thing for a long time, and I don't know where it came from."

Hearing this, Gu Xing's heart moved, and then he asked.

"Is this kind of weirdness rare around the village?"

"Of course, there are basically mortal level weirdos around the village. It's rare to find weirdos that are so powerful and kill people inexplicably when they encounter them."

Is it rare...

Gu Xing fell into deep thought. He suddenly remembered the news he had received from Taoist Master Xun. Yucheng had blocked the roads to other places because of an unusually powerful monster.

So, what does this sudden appearance have to do with this?

Is it because of its influence?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Unbeknownst to Gu Xing, he yawned. After working hard all night, he already wanted to sleep.

At this time, Niu Yaoyang came to him and hugged his shoulders directly.

"Boy, you were very powerful today. If it weren't for you, maybe a few more people would have died."

Gu Xing smiled and said nothing.

"Are you free at noon? Come to my place for a meal?"

"what?"

Gu Xing was a little surprised.

"Ah, what, it's settled, I have something else for you."

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Xing's rejection, Niu Yaoyang went on his own, leaving Gu Xing behind, somewhat confused.

Why did he invite me to dinner?

Gu Xing thought for a while, but couldn't think of an answer. He was too lazy to think about it, so he went home and fell asleep directly.

When he woke up, what woke him up was Goudan's knock on the door, and Niu Yaoyang asked him to call Gu Xing for dinner.

He glanced through the crack in the door and asked him to wait outside the door while he washed slowly.

Of course, the conditions for washing in this world are not good, but Gu Xing still grinded for several minutes.

Opening the courtyard door and looking at Goudan who looked impatient, Gu Xing said lazily.

"Goudan, lead the way!"

"Don't call me Goudan."

"Okay, Goudan."

Goudan left with an angry look on his face, and Gu Xing followed behind him, still walking slowly.

After walking a few steps, Gu Xing suddenly asked.

"Goudan, tell me, what happened that morning?"

What Gu Xing asked was about the original owner's encounter with the water monkey. Goudan had reacted strangely to this before, so Gu Xing guessed that he might know something.

"Nothing happened." Goudan said dullly.

The next moment, Gu Xing ran a few steps quickly and put his arms around Goudan's neck.

"Tell me."

"Although your father is the captain of the guard, he doesn't care about children fighting. Besides, you can't beat me now."

When Gu Xing said this, he still had a smile on his face. If others saw it, they might think it was a pair of good brothers discussing some happy topics.

But Goudan was silent. He wanted to break free, but with Gu Xing's several hundred kilograms of strength, he couldn't break free.

As Gu Xing tightened his grip on him, he finally succumbed to Gu Xing's threats.

So, he whispered.

"That morning, after returning from fetching water, I saw you leaving the village again with the village chief."

village head?

Goudan's words made Gu Xing confused. After all, in his impression, the village chief was a kind elder.

And if it was really him, why would he harm the original body?

"Are you serious?"

"Ah."

Goudan said nothing, Gu Xing also let go of him, and the two arrived at their destination in silence.

"Here we come." Niu Yaoyang greeted him.

"Here we come." Gu Xing responded with a smile.

A feast begins.

The food of Niu Yaoyang's family is as good as that of Yu Qing's family, and Gu Xing eats very well.

At the dinner table, Niu Yaoyang and Gu Xing kept talking.

From weirdness, to cultivation, to the matter of Gu Xing losing his memory.

He said a lot, as if he was testing him.

Gu Xing answered without missing a beat.

When asked about the past, he said he had forgotten. When asked about his character, he said he had forgotten.

As for other things, he would talk freely about new things he understood, and he would pretend to be deaf and dumb and never talk much about things that were not new things he understood.

In this way, an image is created that appears to be completely different from the original, but also emerges from it.

Forcibly disguising is naturally impossible. After all, Gu Xing doesn't know anything about his original identity. Therefore, taking advantage of the coming-of-age ceremony and subtly establishing a new image in the hearts of the villagers is the right solution.

"By the way, I said I would give you something. Come with me."

After eating, Niu Yaoyang took Gu Xing to a clutter where many things were piled.

"I remember that Taoist Master Xun gave you a divine light amulet at the coming-of-age ceremony, right? Since you have protection, I will give you an attack weapon."

As he spoke, Niu Yaoyang rummaged through the debris and finally found a machete.

The blade is more than three feet long, and its surface is dark and rust-free. It looks like it was newly forged after it was just dug out of junk.

"I see that you also use a knife. This knife was used by me when I was young. It is made of black iron and weighs a hundred pounds. It is pretty good at cutting weird things. I will give it to you now."

"Ah, this, this is so precious."

Gu Xing refused, mainly because he didn't think that what he did in the morning could be exchanged for such an extraordinary blade.

But Niu Yaoyang threw it directly to Gu Xing, and when he saw Gu Xing catching the black iron machete easily, he burst out laughing.

"Just keep it, don't worry, you have talent, just treat it as my investment in advance. I just hope that you can help my dog ​​Dan if he encounters difficulties in the future."

"And I see that your strength must be in the training period. I didn't expect that you have successfully developed blood energy after only one day of practice. You are worthy of being a Grade A cultivation seed."

Gu Xing did not expect that the seemingly rough Niu Yaoyang was actually a delicate man. After just half a day of getting along with him, he could see his true and false qualities.

And the machete he gave him might be an investment, or he might want to ease the relationship between himself and Goudan.

So Gu Xing thanked him and accepted it.

"Haha, that's right. Men, forget about mothers and fathers. If you have good things, take them. If you can't get them, grab them. Your own strength is the foundation. You can put everything else aside. As long as you are strong, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Xing was unconvinced by Niu Yaoyang's fallacies, but he agreed with one of them, that is, one's own strength is the foundation.

If he has enough strength, there is no need to be afraid of the east and the west. Even if he faces something weird, he will just rush over.

So Gu Xing laughed with Niu Yaoyang.

At this time, Niu Yaoyang said again.

"I'm going to teach Goudan knife skills recently, do you want to come with me?"
