My Heaven-Defying Spirit

Following the carriage, the group soon arrived at Shi Village. The scene in the village was also very desolate. I don’t know if it was because of the customs in the village, or what.

Bufan, also known as Ming Huaishang, also followed the horse team into the village. After all, he had just arrived in this place and was unfamiliar with the place. He first needed to find a place to settle down and then explore the logic of this world.

In fact, when they were in the virtual world, Qingyou had told Ming Huaishang about the world he was about to face, such as how the realms in the real world were divided, and some miscellaneous forces. However, Qingyou said that he had been dead for nearly a thousand years.

He didn't dare to think about it. He didn't know what had changed outside for such a long time, so he didn't take Qingyou's words too seriously. Ming Huaishang took out a painting from his arms. It was the "Fanlong Painting". He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. What surprised him was that the beautiful landscape scene on it had turned into a scene like hell on earth.

The painting no longer has mountains and rivers, distant peaks and an old man riding a cow. Instead, a demon is seen holding a sickle and swinging it at a headless man in front of him. The scene looks very strange.

"wipe!"

Suddenly, Ming Huaishang heard a noise, and he quickly put away the Fanlong painting in his hand and put it in his arms.

When they entered Shi Village just now, Shi Tian placed Ming Huaishang in a mound of earth. Ming Huaishang was wandering around by himself, looking very leisurely.

At this time, Shi Tian pushed the door open from the earthen mound. Behind him was an elderly man, who was leaning on a cane and following behind him slowly.

Shi Tian, ​​who was standing in front, smiled and said, "Brother Bufan, we are relatively poor here, I hope you don't mind."

This sentence is obviously said to Ming Huaishang. Bufan is Ming Huaishang's pseudonym.

Ming Huaishang shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and then looked at the old man with crutches behind him.

Seeing Ming Huaishang's curious eyes again, Shi Tian said: "Oh, this is the chief of my Shi Village"

After listening to Shi Tian's introduction, Ming Huaishang also hurriedly stood up and saluted in the direction of the old man with crutches.

"So you are the village chief. I would like to stay here for a few nights. I am sorry to bother you." Ming Huaishang did not hesitate to state his needs.

The village chief nodded kindly, indicating that it was okay. His tone was calm, and his words were kind and friendly.

"It seems that the little brother is really not a monk. We are worrying too much."

What does this mean? Ming Huaishang was a little confused, and then he was surprised. How did this old man know that he was not a cultivator? This made him feel incredible, but after thinking about it, he still nodded honestly.

Just when Ming Huaishang thought that the conversation with the village chief of Shi Village was over, the village chief of Shi Village said

"However, I have a way to help you embark on the path of becoming a monk."

After hearing this, not only Ming Huaishang was shocked, but even Shi Tian who was standing next to him was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Obviously, even he, a native of Shi Village, had never heard of such a thing. Could it be that this elderly village chief had some secrets?

The village chief signaled the two men not to stand, so the three of them sat on the ground in the narrow mound. They did not sit directly on the ground, but on a thick layer of straw, which was a bit irritating and prickly.

"I wonder if what the old man said just now is true." Ming Huaishang was also very excited at this time, and asked the village chief of Shi Village urgently. Shi Tian, ​​who was watching from the side, was also curious. He asked the village chief to come over just now just to see if this young man was really not a cultivator.

Because their Shi Village has a special "treasure", which is the walking stick in the hands of the village chief. It can sense whether there are any monks within a distance of three meters. Only the village chief can inherit this item, so he asked the village chief to confirm it. As for the current situation, Shi Tian was confused for a moment.

"Little brother, you are indeed a monk, but you used some special method to block my detection of you."

As soon as these words came out, the two were shocked again. Shi Tian was full of confusion. He just said that he was not a cultivator, so why did he say he was now? Ming Huaishang was even more speechless. Didn't he know whether he was a cultivator or not? He was now sure that the old man in front of him was too old and his brain was not working well.

"Haha, little brother, don't be surprised. Don't think that the old man is lying. You will know when you see the cane in my hand." After saying that, he shook the cane in his hand,

But even if the two of them checked, they couldn't see any difference.

In fact, if you look closely, this cane is nothing more than a piece of wood with a light green gem inlaid in the middle. It looks colorless and looks like a fake. There is nothing unusual about it.

The two of them were also eagerly waiting

Seeing that the two could not tell, the village chief coughed softly. Although this item could be regarded as a treasure of the village, it did not seem to be particularly bright and beautiful.

"In fact, it mainly depends on this gem. It is called the Soul Stone. It is a special gem that can detect the spiritual power in the body of a cultivator. The predecessor who made the cane accidentally placed this gem inside the cane, and it has been passed down to later generations until now."

Speaking of these two people, I still don’t quite understand. What does this have to do with what I said before, that I am not a cultivator?

"In fact, this gem will light up as long as it is a human, but when it was used on you just now, it didn't light up at all. What does this mean?"

The village chief pondered for a moment and continued, "Then it means that you must have some treasure on you, or you have used some special method to block the detection of the Soul Stone."

Ming Huaishang was stunned. What the village chief said made sense. He also thought of an object, the Fanlong painting. Could it be that this object blocked the Soul Stone from detecting him?

Ming Huaishang smiled bitterly, slowly took out the Fanlong painting from his arms and held it in his hand.

"This is......"?

The village chief and Shi Tian were both looking at it closely, as if they had seen a treasure. Ming Huaishang was not afraid either, he spread out the Fanlong painting in his hand on the ground, and then let the two of them watch it to their heart's content.

"That's right! My ancestors have a treasure that can block the leakage of spiritual power."

Ming Huaishang was speaking carefully at this moment, not noticing the doubtful looks of the two.
