Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Daqing State has 500 counties, with more than counties under its jurisdiction. Heping Town is located in Youyang County, Youshui County, Daqing State, bordering the southwest border, with high mountains and dense forests. There are several towns under Youyang County that are military towns, always on guard against the southwest border. Due to the recent instability on the border, Heping Town, which originally had no troops stationed, has recently received a -man armored cavalry. So the atmosphere in the town is also tense!

Zhang Chen and his family arrived in the town. Under the unified arrangement of the town, they found a newly built residential area on the west side of the town with three rooms and a small yard. Although it was not big, it had everything they needed. They walked from the village until it was almost dark before they arrived in the town. They spent the whole night cleaning up. While his parents were resting, Zhang Chen and Xiaodong had already started strolling around the town.

"Brother Chen, how is your house being cleaned up? I was originally planning to be your neighbor, but my uncle and his family have a place where they can take care of you and it's convenient, so we went to their place instead of going to the place arranged by the town," Wang Dong said to Zhang Chen as they walked.

"Everything is packed up. Father also said that he would sell the fish this afternoon. We will split the proceeds in half." After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the town. He had only been here a few times in his life.

"No need. We have several uncles to help us. We don't have to worry about our future life. Even if this incident hadn't happened, we were already planning to move to town." Xiaodong's eyes were darting around, looking east and west.

Maybe because of the attacks by wild beasts, many people have moved to the town. Now the town is very lively, with several times more people than usual, and many more people selling goods and shopping.

"Brother Chen, I heard from my uncle that something big happened in the town recently. I heard that a fairy master came here to select people. If you are selected, you can do whatever you want in the future."

"The Immortal Master selects people? What is an Immortal Master?" Zhang Chen asked hurriedly.

"He should be an immortal who can move mountains, fill the sea, fly into the sky and hide underground." Wang Dong said.

"Is he a liar? If immortals really exist, why would we have to move?" Zhang Chen said speechlessly.

"A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins." Suddenly, a harsh voice came to my ears.

Four young men in fancy clothes just came out of the restaurant, one of them looked at Zhang Chen and the other man with disdain on his face.

Someone nearby said, "Second Young Master Guo, it seems like they just came out of the village. How would they know what an immortal master is?"

The man called Second Young Master Guo's expression eased and said, "If I hadn't heard that an immortal master was passing by and wanted to select people here, I would have gone to the county city long ago and would not have stayed here."

"I heard that the immortal master also considers people's physical constitution when selecting them, to see if they have the opportunity to cultivate immortality. Let's try our luck then." One of the pale-faced men said.

"If you become a fairy master, you will bring harm to many fairies. Be careful or you will be castrated by the fairies." One of the people in blue robes joked.

"That's right, that's right. Hahahaha." Several people nearby also laughed.

"This is called romantic. Fairies might like people like me," the person being teased said casually.

Zhang Chen listened to their words and thought to himself, "Are there really immortals? Then why don't they kill those beasts that harm people?"

Wang Dong saw Zhang Chen in a daze and quickly pulled him away. Then he walked towards the snack street. When they arrived at the snack street, there was fragrance everywhere.

There is a snack made by grinding soybeans into a paste, adding flour and baking it in oil, then adding some stuffing. When you eat it, it is crispy on the outside and crunchy on the inside. Then have a bowl of mung bean powder, seasoning and stuffing, and after one bowl of this, all your previous worries will be forgotten.

The two of them walked slowly home with their full stomachs. When they reached the intersection, they said goodbye to each other and went in their own direction.

When he got home, he found that his parents had already gotten up. Zhang Chen's father took the fish and prepared to sell it before the market closed. Zhang Chen's mother was also preparing to buy some daily necessities.

Since the home is in the west of the town, far from the center of the town, the land is relatively spacious. Zhang Chen's father plans to cultivate some wasteland in the west. Planting some vegetables can also save some expenses! There are also some fields outside the town to see if they can buy them and plant them. The family also has cattle, so life can barely get by.

Zhang Chen's father and mother went to the street, leaving him alone in the house. This place is not like the village, and he can't run around the mountains.

Zhang Chen sat on the bed and recalled the stories about immortals told by his private school teacher. He had always thought they were made-up stories, but after listening to what those people told him today, they didn't seem like lies.

"Are there really immortals in this world?" Zhang Chen murmured to himself.

Zhang Chen's mind was filled with all kinds of legends about immortals: flying into the sky, hiding underground, killing demons and monsters, and saving humanity.

"If there really is an immortal master coming to select people, I will go and give it a try." Zhang Chen lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Maybe he didn’t sleep well yesterday, Zhang Chen fell asleep quickly in his bed. In his dreams, he became an immortal and gave his parents a big house to live in. There were many servants to serve them. His parents no longer had to do farm work, and he flew around in the sky with his parents, feeling so comfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Chen woke up from his dream and looked out the window. It was already dark and insects were chirping all around. It seemed that it was already midnight.

"Having a fairy dream in the middle of the night doesn't really count as daydreaming, after all." Zhang Chen laughed at himself.

I touched my stomach and felt a little hungry, so I got out of bed, opened the door, and went to the kitchen to look around. I found some pastries and bread bought by my parents. I took some and walked outside, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and started eating.

Suddenly, the horses in the stable started to cry, and the insects around them stopped chirping. I could vaguely hear something approaching this side, and suddenly there was a miserable cry of horses in the stable, and the stable was banged by a violent collision.

"No, what's going on? Is a wild beast chasing us?"

Zhang Chen's face turned pale, and he hurried home, woke up his parents, and dragged them to the center of town. From time to time, he could hear people screaming. Every scream was like a stab in Zhang Chen's heart, stimulating his heart to tremble violently, and his feet were spinning and weak. He followed the person in front of him who was also running for his life, and he didn't dare to look back.

Suddenly, a round object appeared in front of them, blocking the way to the town center. A spider-like insect jumped in front of the man in front, raised its long forelimbs covered with sickle-like spurs, and swung it lightly, splitting the man in front into two, and screams were heard immediately.

The bug grabbed the screaming upper body and stuffed the head into its mouth. With a snap, the head burst like a watermelon, and the screaming stopped abruptly. Then there was a crunching sound of chewing.

Zhang Chen's parents and their two children were completely stunned at this time. Their minds were blank, their hearts were beating violently, and they had completely forgotten about escaping.

After the insect finished eating, it slowly raised its head and stared at the three people. Those eyes were emotionless and flashing with coldness. After being stared at by it, Zhang Chen felt his whole body stiff, and a chill rising from his tailbone spread throughout his body. Watching the insect approaching step by step, at this moment he felt as if he was a lamb to be slaughtered, helpless and sad.

"Go, Chen'er,"

Zhang Chen's mother pushed him out and stood behind him.

"Eat me and leave my child alone."

Zhang Chen's mother's legs collapsed on the ground, and her hands kept shaking. The insect stared at Zhang Chen's mother, as if a little surprised by this reaction. But without thinking too much, it slowly raised its sickle-like forelimbs.

"Mother."

Zhang Chen yelled at the top of his lungs and turned to pounce on his mother. Just as the sickle was about to cut through his mother's body, a cold light suddenly shone from the insect's neck, and the insect suddenly trembled and stopped moving, and slowly its head fell off.

A tall figure appeared behind him. He was dressed elegantly, had bright eyes and an elegant temperament.

In his hand was a flying blade that flashed with cold light. With a light leap, he appeared dozens of feet away. With a flick of the flying blade in his hand, the insects around him were separated from their bodies. He leaped into the sky again and headed straight for Zhennan. He strolled leisurely in the garden for only a few moments. If it weren't for the insect corpses all over the ground, Zhang Chen would have thought he was seeing things.

"Is this the immortal? There must be one." Zhang Chen muttered to himself. He quickly helped his mother up and dragged his father to the center of the town. Although the insects seemed to have died, they didn't dare to stay there any longer!
