Start as a Temple Spirit

Shang Liangshan looked at the green grass and couldn't help but praise it.

Xiaocao is a really capable child, unlike Heizi, who is out of control all day long and spanks other children, almost becoming a nuisance.

Well, the block is not bad either, it can build earth houses. The houses and training grounds of Heizi and his friends were all built by the block using earth-related abilities.

As for Xiaoli, he is responsible for teaching Fangkuai and acting as the Forgotten Handsome Guy.

The Zi and An guards are both practicing hard, good, both are very good.

Except for Heizi, who always spanks little kids.

It was a sunny afternoon. Shang Liangshan lay lazily on a stone chair, squinting his eyes and enjoying the sunbath. It would be great if he could drink tea.

The old patriarch who was supervising the work looked up at the top of the rock with a feeling in his heart. Under the gaze of the villagers, he stepped on the rock wall and flew up to the top of the rock.

Shang Liangshan heard the noise and turned his head to look. He saw the old patriarch climbing up the mountain wearing a straw hat. He couldn't help but joked, "Old patriarch, your straw hat looks great."

The old patriarch said happily: "Haha, Liangshan, let me tell you, this straw hat was made by me. If I sell it, I can get at least ten copper coins."

"Hehe, if that's the case, this is indeed a good skill." Shang Liangshan laughed.

"Stop joking and get down to business." The old patriarch said that the Forgotten Temple in the Forgotten Village had been built and would be open the day after tomorrow.

The Forgotten Village is the refugee village under the rock wall.

The name of the village is simple and straightforward, almost requiring no brainpower.

"Let Xiaocao take charge of this matter. He is good at this kind of thing." Shang Liangshan waved his hands lazily.

"This old man knew you would say that, so let Xiaocao take charge." The old patriarch smiled and talked about another matter.

After the ghost robbery, each major sect will send out disciples to train hard, show small favors to the surviving villages, recruit disciples, and explore the strength of each village.

"Has there been any disciples from our village who joined the sect before?" Shang Liangshan asked.

"No, people don't even look at our small village." The old patriarch shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Shang Liangshan gave the old patriarch a question and asked, "Then what do you think is the significance of this matter?"

"Things are different now. This year's ghost disaster was extremely severe. Many small villages suffered. However, our village not only survived, but also accepted tens of thousands of refugees. This will definitely attract attention."

"That's right." Shang Liangshan nodded and asked thoughtfully, "If someone from the sect comes, what should we do?"

"Just entertain me, but I'm afraid I can't hide your presence, Liang Shan."

"If you can't hide it, then you can't hide it. Well, let Xiaoli deal with it when the time comes. I don't have time to be polite with them."

"I'm afraid it won't work." The old patriarch shook his head.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Maybe they won't think highly of our village."

"It can be done this way." The old patriarch nodded and talked about another matter, which was that the bandit captives wanted to burn incense and integrate into the Forgotten Township.

"Give them a chance. Well, let Xiaocao inspect them one-on-one then."

"That's what the old man meant. Human hearts are hard to predict." The old patriarch nodded in agreement.

The conversation between the two was not long, but it determined the fate of many people.

Whether Xiaocao is presiding over the opening ceremony of a temple or investigating captured bandits, he will use his talent for fooling people.

By then, anyone who has ill intentions towards the Forgotten Town will be recorded in the book, and will be treated specially. They will be exploited to exhaustion both physically and mentally.

This was indeed the case. Early the next morning, the captured bandits who came to burn incense were subjected to Xiao Cao's soul-searching interrogation. Having passed the test, the bandits secretly rejoiced.

As for the bandits with evil intentions, they were directly escorted to the Forgotten Village and began to work for up to sixteen hours.

Of course, bandits who have been tested will often forget about living in villages and enjoy the same treatment as refugees.

A day later, the inspection of the refugees' burning incense began, which lasted a whole day. Tens of thousands of refugees were divided into three levels.

Be grateful, go with the flow, and have no evil intentions.

The grateful refugees were the first to be allocated thatched huts, followed by those who were content with their lot.

Refugees with evil intentions will be treated specially, just like bandits with the same mentality, and will be forced to work for sixteen hours and then be assigned to new positions immediately.

Fortunately, those with bad intentions were a minority, and the total number of people was less than 600, otherwise the villagers would have driven them away.

After all, no one wants to take in an ungrateful person.

As a result, these nearly six hundred people were given a title: the unruly ones.

Xiaocao's actions left an indelible fear on the bandits and refugees.

As a result, the incense burners who came every morning and evening were more pious than each other.

After all, no one wants to be labeled as a delinquent because of their lack of piety.

After the shock, there was an unexpected gain, which was the refugees' obedience and hard work.

The speed of large-scale infrastructure construction has also increased exponentially, allowing the old patriarch to happily drink wine and hum songs.

The responsibilities of presiding over the incense-burning ceremony are also divided accordingly.

Xiaoli is in charge of the incense-burning ceremony in Forgotten Township, while Xiaocao is in charge of the incense-burning ceremony in Forgotten Village.

The days became more orderly, and everyone was focused and full of energy.

It was dark and eerie, with a chilling air. In front of the cave entrance, where the walls were covered with frost, bursts of wolf howls could be heard.

Yishui looked solemnly at the dark and gloomy cave entrance.

The entrance to the cave was discovered by hunting dogs and reported by the hunting team leader.

"Fourth Elder, could this cave be the entrance to the underworld?" The remaining snake tightened his leather armor, feeling the chill in his lungs.

"It's probably true." Yishui said in a serious tone, and he was also very grateful in his heart, because this newly appeared entrance to the underworld was less than sixty miles away from the underground palace camp.

"Block it?" Yishe made a suggestion that was not really a suggestion.

"It's useless." Yishui shook his head and said to Yishe, "Set up the altar and ask Liangshan to come and take a look."

"Okay." Yishe nodded heavily. This matter really needed to be handled by the Seventh Elder.

For professional matters, just find professionals.

He turned around and ordered his men who were on guard outside to set up the altar.

It is called an altar, but in fact it is just the statue of the scholar that you carry with you, spread out on a flat stone, and then burn incense and call upon it devoutly.

Shang Liangshan, who was basking in the sun on the top of the rock wall as usual, slowly opened his eyes, sensed something, and disappeared on the spot.

The next second, he appeared in the Huawai Taoist Temple. After calling back the two guards Zi and An, his figure flashed and appeared in the underground temple. He looked around and saw no one.

He could only sense the call and escape from the underground palace.

Not long after, Shang Liangshan found where Yishui and the others were. He endured the force and flew above the large army.

"Seventh Elder." When the local militia saw Shang Liangshan coming, they all saluted.

"Is everyone okay?" Shang Liangshan responded friendly.

"fine."

"Seventh Elder, we are fine. We are doing well." The militiamen responded in unison.

"I'm glad you're okay." Shang Liangshan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
