Han Shaoqing and the others returned to the courtyard again.

Xing Yun looked at the small courtyard, and the sadness of parting disappeared, leaving only a heart full of worry and sadness.

Han Shaoqing held Xing Yun's hand and looked at him gently, as if the coming storm could be resolved by this gentleness. This gentleness also blew across Xing Yun's heart like a spring breeze.

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

Xing Yun didn't want to hide behind Han Shaoqing, and said to Han Shaoqing: "I know, I will face it with you."

Master Canhun never asked or expressed any opinions from the beginning until he came back.

Xing Yun looked at Han Shaoqing's calm eyes and the firm words in his mouth, and his worries dissipated a little. He still couldn't let it go, after all, those people were right under his nose, and they were always hidden dangers.

If it is a hidden danger, it means there is danger.

This is not one in a million, it is one in a million.

Now seeing that they looked worried and serious, but also a little curious: "Would you like to tell me who those people are and why you are so afraid of them?"

Han Shaoqing was in no mood to tease Master Canhun now. Perhaps, in the end, they would have to rely on Master Canhun to escape this disaster. So he told Master Canhun everything about Han Shaoqing's previous life, and what happened when he came here.

After listening to this, Master Canhun also looked at the two of them with sympathy.

The village chief quickly returned home, took out a copper and knocked it six times in succession.

The uncles and aunts who had just woken up in the village and were about to go out to chat heard the sound of the copper. Their expressions instantly became solemn. Some of the elderly uncles and aunts trembled and their pipes fell to the ground in an instant.

There was also a 'thump' sound when it landed on the ground.

They reacted quickly and shouted to the elders and children in the family: "Hurry, go to the ancestral hall, hurry."

As soon as they finished talking, they had already run out of the house.

The old man's legs, which were usually slow, were no longer slow at all. Instead, they were more agile than those of the younger ones.

The people at home were also startled by the shout and ran towards the ancestral hall.

Such a beautiful scenery suddenly appeared in the village.

People are like ants moving, walking sparsely along the same route.

Why is this happening?

It’s actually very simple.

Because this is the village rule of Qingyuan Village.

Normally, when the village chief wants to say something, he knocks twice. If it is something that requires the whole village to make a decision together, he knocks four times. And knocking six times, in the impression of some middle-aged or young people, means something that has never happened.

Just knock four times, very rarely.

And now suddenly there was a big one with six hits, which immediately startled some people.

But some elderly people know what these six strokes represent because they have experienced it before.

That was a nightmare.

I thought that nightmare was far away from them.

I didn't expect it to happen again now.

When they met people along the way, they walked together in a tacit understanding. They also began to ask each other for news: "Uncle Qing, do you know what happened? Why did the village chief suddenly open the ancestral hall?"

Uncle Qing also looked confused, and shook his head solemnly, saying, "I don't know."

"Uncle, do you know what happened?"

The uncle looked at his young offspring kindly with his weathered eyes, and sighed sadly: "When the time comes, you will know. Now let them enjoy two more seconds of ignorance! There will be fewer good days like this in the future."

After saying this, the uncle quickened his pace.

Everyone felt confused and terrified, and their hearts were filled with suspicion. They were afraid that this peaceful and tranquil life would be disrupted.

Such unknowns are even more worrying.

But knowing the truth, I'm afraid they will lose their composure now.

Better not to know.

Once we get to the ancestral hall and have a backbone, it won't be easy to cause chaos.

This time, the gathering took less than half a cup of tea, and all the villagers gathered in the ancestral hall.

The ancestral house is used to worship all the ancestors of Qingyuan Village. From top to bottom, four generations of people have been worshipped inside. On the table in the front, there are offerings.

As soon as everyone arrived, they looked expectantly at the village chief who was standing in the middle of the ancestral hall, and asked in a low voice, "Village chief, what happened that suddenly gathered us all together?"

"Yes, village chief. I am still very nervous. Please tell us what happened."

"Yes! My eyelids have been twitching this morning. I feel very nervous. Village chief, please tell us what's going on."

The village chief listened to everyone talking, put his hands down, and said in a deep voice: "Quiet, quiet."

Seeing this, everyone shut up and waited for the village chief's next words.

Uncle Chu saw that the scene had quieted down, then he looked at the village chief and asked, "Village chief, are those people back?"

The village chief nodded, and Uncle Chu immediately fell back on his chair when he saw it.

Some of the elders had experienced that dark time, and their suspicions were confirmed, and they all became weak.

Some people were still confused. But when they saw the elders looking as if the sky was falling, they also felt sad.

The atmosphere at the scene became even more solemn.

There is no more chirping noise as in the beginning.

Seeing that everyone started to pay attention, the village chief spoke again: "There is a group of people outside now. They should be disciples from the original group. Now that they come again, they must be here for the underground palace."

"But they won't do anything to us now, but they will ask you about the situation. What you must remember now is to keep your mouth shut and not mention anything about the back mountain, or the names of Han Shaoqing and Xing Yun in front of them. If you leak even a word, our village will be destroyed. No matter young or old, do you understand?"

Everyone was shocked by what the village chief said. They all replied with trembling lips: "It's clear. It's clear."

Seeing that everyone agreed, the village chief spoke again: "When you leave here later, you can live your life as before. Those who need to go to the fields should go to the fields, and those who need to work should work. But don't go alone, go with a few people. When you see them, treat them as ordinary people. In short, just act, face them. If you are a little timid, try not to come out. Do you understand?"

"Got it." Seeing the village chief's orderly arrangements, everyone felt more at ease and no longer confused. The voices of those who answered were calmer.

The village chief was somewhat satisfied when he saw this, and then he continued, "Don't continue practicing for the time being. Wait until this is over, and then you can continue. Don't let them know about your practice, and try to hide the secret book in your hands. Is that clear?"

“Understood.”

Everyone spoke in unison.

"Okay, it's good that you understand clearly. You must always remember this. This concerns the survival of our village. Now we will disperse. When you meet people later, be natural, just like you treated Han Shaoqing and the others naturally. Go back!"

Everyone said hello and then dispersed.

The village chief looked at the people leaving, still worried.

But he has already said everything he should say and explain, and everything that happens next is up to fate!

Even if the village chief has repeatedly emphasized and reminded, accidents will still happen.
