Chapter 147 The Weasel Seeks a Title
"Uncle Master, shouldn't we stop?"
In the blink of an eye, the two of them flew thousands of miles. Seeing that Xiao Ran had no intention of stopping, Yan Chixia asked.
"There's nothing worth visiting in Xuanxin Sect. I've already gone down the mountain several times."
Xiao Ran put his hands behind his back and increased the input of spiritual energy, and the flying gourd under his feet became faster.
In addition to finding a way to enter the underworld, this time we also explore ways to gain merit and collect information about other sects in the human world.
If Xuanxin Sect wants to become the number one sect in the world, it must at least know itself and its enemy.
After the Xuanxin Sect annexed the five sects, its entire territory became very vast. According to Xiao Ran's understanding, it occupied almost one-fifth of the entire continent.
Compared with the entire continent, Xuanxin Sect can be regarded as a remote corner.
Beyond the border of Xuanxin Sect, there is a desert ahead. There is no spiritual energy here and there are almost no practitioners.
After crossing the endless desert, Xiao Ran and his companion arrived at the world outside Xuanxin Sect.
"Master uncle, people here have a very hard life!"
Passing through a human city, Yan Chixia's face wrinkled.
Compared with the ordinary human cities under the jurisdiction of Xuanxin Sect, the people here live like poor people. There are beggars everywhere in the city, the middle-class families are skinny, and there are very few rich people.
"Look more, think more, I won't give you an answer."
Xiao Ran stepped forward. He bought two skinny horses in the city and rode forward.
Having just arrived in a foreign country, Xiao Ran decided to keep a low profile.
After the two of them went deep into the mountains, Yan Chixia became numb and hardly noticed any changes along the way.
"There's something wrong with the concentration of spiritual energy here."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown. The concentration of spiritual energy here was 30% lower than that of Xuanxin Sect.
This is somewhat inconsistent with the rules of the world.
According to astronomical phenomena, this place is the center of the world, and the concentration of spiritual energy here should be higher than that of Xuanxin Sect, but now the situation is just the opposite.
Xiao Ran suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to move forward.
"It's already autumn, why is it still so hot?"
Yan Chixia opened his clothes and fanned himself continuously.
The trees on both sides of the mountain road were wilted, the leaves were dry, and some had even turned yellow.
The land was cracked from drought and it looked like it hadn't rained for a long time.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Xiao Ran's gaze fell across the mountains into the distance, but he did not take any other action.
"Master uncle, there is a village ahead. I don't know if there is water. All the streams along the way have dried up."
Yan Chixia's lips were chapped. He could use his spiritual power to condense water vapor before, but now there is very little water vapor in the air, and Yan Chixia hasn't had water for a long time.
The two came to the village, where there was a breath of human life. In the shade of the houses, there were even lush vegetable fields.
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He found a hint of evil spirit in the village, but the villagers seemed to be living well.
At the entrance of the village, there is a small temple three feet high. What is enshrined in the temple is not a god or Buddha, but a weasel.
At this time, a little girl hurried out of the village, holding a vegetable steamed bun in her hand, and came to the small temple.
The little girl looked very thin. She swallowed her saliva as she looked at the steamed bun, but still respectfully placed the bun in front of the small temple and bowed.
"Little girl, who is this offering to?"
Xiao Ran leaned over to block the sunlight for the little girl, with a gentle smile on his face, easing the little girl's tension.
"This is the mountain god of our Xiaoliu Village."
The little girl said timidly.
"As we walked along, the rivers dried up and the trees withered, but I saw that the water source in the village was still there..."
Xiao Ran said, pointing to the vegetable patch in the distance.
"My mother said this was all thanks to the mountain god. Our Xiaoliu Village has been worshipping the mountain god for more than ten years, and the mountain god has blessed our Xiaoliu Village for more than ten years."
The little girl perked up at the mention of the mountain god.
"There was a severe drought this year, and all the wells in the village had dried up. But the village chief gathered everyone together to pray to the mountain god, and the next day, the wells in the village had water, and everyone was able to continue living."
"Today is our family's day to offer sacrifices to the mountain god, so my mother asked me to bring the offerings to the mountain god."
The little girl took one look at the steamed bun and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Although there was water in the well, it was not much, just enough for people to survive. There was not much food left at home, and her little stomach was still hungry.
"Haha, don't worry, it will rain soon."
Xiao Ran said as he rubbed the little girl's soft and dry hair.
"really?"
The little girl stared at Xiao Ran with her big watery eyes, looking hopeful.
"Of course it's real, take it and eat it."
Xiao Ran nodded, then stretched out his hand and conjured up a big apple and stuffed it into the little girl's arms.
"Ah. Thank you!"
The little girl sniffed the fragrance of the apple, a look of surprise appeared on her face. After thanking Xiao Ran, she ran home with the apple in her arms and shouted after she entered the door.
"Dad, Mom, give you apples!"
Soon, the little girl's parents came out. When they saw Xiao Ran's gorgeous clothes, they knew that Xiao Ran and his partner were not ordinary people, so they quickly invited Xiao Ran and his partner back home.
After the two men left, a skinny weasel walked out from behind the mountain temple. He held the steamed bun and swallowed it in big mouthfuls, then looked at the backs of Xiao Ran and the other man, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
At night, Xiao Ran declined the invitation of the little girl's family to stay for food and accommodation, and took Yan Chixia into Xiaoliu Mountain.
"There is evil spirit!"
Not long after entering the mountain, Yan Chixia stood in front of Xiao Ran, holding the Heavenly Punishment Sword behind him in his hand, but was stopped by Xiao Ran. The two pretended nothing had happened and continued to move forward.
After walking a few hundred meters, a short black figure stood in front of the two men.
Yan Chixia stared at the figure in front of him, and reached for the Heavenly Punishment Sword behind him with his right hand.
"Ahem, you two, do I look like a human?"
The weasel turned around. It was wearing the old man's clothes and even had white ash on its face, trying its best to pretend to be a human.
But his skinny body and strange attire made him look like a little ghost.
"It, what is it doing?"
Yan Chixia was frightened by the appearance of the weasel.
"Maybe he's asking for a title?"
Xiao Ran was also a little uncertain. He had only heard of it from folk stories, but asking for a title did not exist at all in the world of cultivation.
"Do I look like a human? Do I look like a human?"
The weasel looked at Xiao Ran and the other man's indifferent expressions and felt a little anxious. He wanted to go forward, but he was tripped by his clothes and couldn't get up for a while.
“Like, like, like!”
Xiao Ran also wanted to see what would happen when he asked for the title, so he simply answered directly.
But nothing happened.
"Oh, it still doesn't work? I'm going to die."
When the weasel found that he had not changed at all, he lay on the ground in frustration, with two tears in his eyes.
"If I die, the people of Xiaoliu Village down the mountain will die too."
