As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me

Jieguan, a small town originally built on rumors, is a gathering place exclusively for the elderly.

The vast majority of people who come here to settle are those who have reached the end of their journey and see no hope at all.

The biggest thing these people have in common is that they clearly feel that their talents are not yet fully utilized, but they are still unable to take the next step forward.

Just like an old reservoir, although it no longer has bright colors, it is far from being scrapped.

They could still fill the pool with water, and there was no shortage of water outside, but for some reason, the pool was locked.

It was as if there was an invisible chain blocking the way forward.

There are many cultivators in similar situations.

Therefore, once the rumor that "there might be miracles in the gap" spread, it instantly spread like wildfire.

No one can tell clearly when the rumor was born and what its content is that has been passed down to the present day, and no one cares.

Everyone only knows that the boundary checkpoint is their last chance, and the secret to taking that step is to seek the truth.

Nowadays, the permanent residents of Jie Guan include sects represented by Lao Li and Lao Chen (Uncle Liu), as well as lone rangers like Liu Erniang and Lao Zhang who have no worries.

The former, with the original intention of making use of the last bit of his remaining energy and with the reason of selecting a few good seedlings from the virtual world for the sect, regarded the boundary as the end of his life.

The latter simply do not want to accept their fate and come here to find a glimmer of hope.

Over countless years, the residents of Jie Guan have changed one after another, and the low and dilapidated houses have also been constantly changing hands.

They went forward one after another, just to find the legendary miracle...

In the restaurant kitchen, Lao Liu stood in front of the stove and didn't dare to utter a word. He let his uncle-master yell at him for a long time without daring to say anything back.

Only when the old man got tired of scolding did he tell the younger generations to go to the front yard.

"Xiao San, I feel it, the rumors are true!"

Originally, Mr. Chen had been mentally prepared enough, and he was very open-minded about the matter of transformation and accepted the cruel result.

But at this moment, he no longer had his usual calmness, and his pupils trembled violently.

Many times the eyes can deceive us, but the feelings cannot.

Not long ago, Mr. Chen felt that the solid bottleneck had loosened a little in an instant. Although it was only a tiny bit and it quickly returned to normal, this discovery was enough to drive him crazy.

This shows that there is a way forward and that there is still hope.

"Uncle Master, are you saying that you have experienced the signs of the bottleneck loosening mentioned by the predecessors?"

Old Liu's eyes darkened, and he finally understood the reason for what happened just now.

Seeing further hope, the old master uncle felt uneasy.

So, I became the target of others' anger.

"That's right. Now that I think about it, this is normal. If the rumors were just rumors, this place wouldn't be so lively."

The old man knew very well that no matter how beautiful a vision was, it would not last long if no one had ever seen that hope.

The wonderful experience he had just had confirmed what the predecessors had said, that the path for people like them was not broken.

"Then, is it related to the little girl?" Feeling the ups and downs of his uncle's mood, Lao Liu quickly grasped the key point.

However, after careful consideration of this obvious answer, Mr. Chen nodded and then began to shake his head.

“It is indeed related to Xiao Lin, but she should not be the main reason. After all, every once in a while, someone can experience the long-lost feeling of breaking through the barrier.

I think she is the key that can unlock the chain, and there may be many such keys.”

a lot of?

Old Liu lowered his eyes and repeatedly pondered over his uncle's conclusion.

"You mean, there are people in this world who can..."

"I didn't say anything and you didn't know anything."

Old Chen glanced at his nephew, sighed softly, and finally calmed down.

"Xiao San, it's no secret who the rumors here are related to. The girl's surname is Lin, and she's new here. Don't you have any feelings at all?"

The rumors vaguely pointed to Bai Zun and were the work of that madman. Of course Old Liu knew that.

But the feeling that Master Uncle said...

Suddenly, Liu Laosan, who was slow to react, was struck by lightning and froze on the spot.

"Yesterday, last night's order?"

"That's good to know. Okay, let's open the shop and wait for Kunxu's trial to start. As for the rest, it's not our turn to worry about it."

Seeing his nephew turning the corner, Old Chen waved his hand, tied his apron again, took out the flour from the jar and started working on his own business.

Only an old immortal like him would have heard his master talk about the secret from many years ago: the relationship between the Emperor, Bai Zun, and the deceased old Palace Master of Miaodao Palace was very subtle, and not as rumored by the outside world.

The reason why the Emperor became the Emperor instead of the Palace Master of Miaodao Palace was because of Bai Zun.

Of course, whether Emperor Jun and Bai Zun were a couple as the teachers had guessed, Mr. Chen was not sure, but one thing was undeniable.

The extremely crazy Bai Zun has always been special to only Emperor Jun.

He dared to openly rebel against Miao Dao Palace and challenge a supreme being head-on, but in the end he was willing to die under the Emperor's finger. Such a person...

The secret, whose authenticity could not be confirmed, emerged in Chen's mind. His hands gradually slowed down as he kneaded the dough, and his face became more serious than ever before.

If Xiao Lin is really the Lin Xiao blessed by the Emperor, and she happens to be a key, the connection between them is terrifying to think about.

"Uncle Master, I want to go find Lao He to get some information."

"Okay, just remember not to do anything more."

"Yes."

There was no need for his uncle to give specific instructions. Old Liu, who knew that this was an unusual matter, took down a piece of dried meat hanging on the beam and walked out with slightly heavy steps.

He held the gift in his hand and walked through the busy street in two or three steps, but when he arrived at the place, he didn't find anyone.

Not only was Lao He missing, but even Lao Zhang, the butcher, was nowhere to be seen.

Old Liu returned empty-handed, and inexplicably developed a feeling in his heart that things at the border might be changing.

……

"Mrs. Liu, how is it?"

Seeing the meditating woman open her eyes, Lao Zhang and Lao He surrounded her from the left and right, with anticipation and anxiety in their voices not concealed at all.

In the cabin, besides the two of them, there were a few middle-aged ladies dressed simply.

When they saw their sisters wake up, they rushed over.

"Old sister, are you okay?"

Liu Erniang, who had just come out of the state of meditation and had not yet come out of that wonderful feeling, sat on the bed for a long time before she realized where she was.

Then, amidst everyone's expectant gazes, she sighed half regretfully and half relieved, and gave a direct answer.

"As you can see, I did gain a lot this time, but I'm still a long way from that step."

"Not even close... Madam Liu, I, Old Zhang, can't handle those tricks. I just want to know if you have reached the threshold of transformation."

Old Zhang, holding a butcher knife, had veins bulging out of his hands and his eyes wide open, looking very ferocious.

"Well, if it's inconvenient, just ignore what I said."

"Tsk, what's the inconvenience?"

Liu Erniang was amused and shook her head in amusement, "The butcher, the old broker, and the sisters, I do know how to change the fetus, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

"Really?"

As soon as the answer came out, everyone in the room said it in unison, their eyes full of surprise.

For them, everyone has his own path, and Liu Niang's method of transformation is of no use to everyone.

The key is to make sure the road ahead is clear.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became more heated, and everyone couldn't help but exude the same emotion.

It is a very mysterious yet very straightforward "momentum", representing new buds growing on old trees and spring coming back to dead wood.

This feeling is difficult for others to understand. Only Liu Erniang, who is in the same situation, can understand the sadness behind hope.

"Yes, everyone, the sky will never end..."

The words of encouragement and comfort to everyone were forcibly interrupted for some reason, and the words "God will not abandon us" were ultimately not uttered.

This abnormality naturally attracted the attention of others.

"Liu Niang?"

"Nothing, I suddenly thought of my niece. I don't know if that little girl is used to it."

Liu Erniang covered up her inner horror with a smile and forcibly used Lin Xiao to change the subject.

The crowd was not stupid, so they did not point it out. They just laughed and chatted for a few minutes before leaving with excuses.

Old He was walking at the end. He already knew Lin Xiao's last name. He looked back at the slightly trembling woman and thought a lot in his mind.

[Is it true that God will not abandon me? 】

After everyone left, Liu Erniang, who had finally collected her thoughts, looked at the empty wall and silently asked questions that penetrated her soul.

Nourish Qi, gather spirit, transform fetus, and concentrate mind.

No matter which cultivation system the practitioners belong to, no matter how many realm names they have, as long as they are in this land of hope, they can ultimately be attributed to these four steps.

And this division rule came from rumors.

It was precisely because the rumor that led to the border crossing suddenly flashed through Liu Erniang's mind that she was not sure whether this opportunity was given by God.

What Mr. Chen could figure out, she, who had heard Lin Xiao's real name, could certainly figure out as well.

If the person who gave everyone guidance was the one who spread the rumor, then Lin Xiao might be related to the Emperor and that person...

Liu Erniang's body trembled again, and unknowingly, a harmless face appeared in her mind.

"Oh, I'm not a aunt in vain. I owe you a lot."

……

At this time, Lin Xiao, who was far away on the other side of the town, had just walked in and had no idea that he had an extraordinary weight in the hearts of several seniors.

She placed two bamboo baskets on the stone table mixed with fallen leaves and dust, looked around for a while, and fixed her eyes on the courtyard wall.

The benefits of last night's song were real. It is not in Young Master Lin's character to pretend to be deaf and dumb after receiving a favor.

But the situation is special now and I can’t take out the things I have on me. What gift should I bring when I visit?

Lin Xiao was a little distressed. It was rare that he was tripped up by money. He couldn't help but raise his brows.

This look of distress was so vivid that Jun Ge, who wanted to leave at this point, subconsciously stopped where he was.

After watching for a while, the Emperor suddenly laughed when he found out that he was the source of the other party's distress.

[Sister Hua, do neighbors give each other gifts? ]
