chapter 6 Seeking from oneself

Sherwin's residence is located at the east end of Feiyun Village. It is a small courtyard that has been dilapidated and deserted for a long time. There are three thatched huts and a weeping willow tree.

There is also a vegetable patch on one side of the courtyard, which is now full of weeds.

As the first place to live after coming to the Zi Yao Empire, Sherwin originally planned to clean up and repair this dilapidated courtyard after dawn.

What Sherwin didn't expect was that the moment he opened the door, he saw many villagers already gathered in his small courtyard.

What surprised Sherwin the most was that these villagers were either carrying some freshly slaughtered pheasants and hares, or some pots and pans. Some were busy cleaning the weeds in the courtyard, and there were even a few strong ones. The man was repairing the walls and eaves of the dilapidated hut.

In short, it was a busy scene in the courtyard, but everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding. No matter what they did, they suppressed their voices, as if they were afraid of disturbing anything.

Sherwin couldn't help but think deeply. He had a vague understanding in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Ah, Brother Sherwin is out."

"Damn it, Sirius, I told you to keep your voice down a long time ago, but it's a good thing that you woke up little brother Sherwin all of a sudden."

"Bah, you do resent me. You are hammering on the eaves with a hammer, and even the sleeping pigs are woken up. Not to mention Brother Sherwin, Brother Sherwin, I I’m not scolding you.”

Seeing Sherwin appear, the villagers in the courtyard immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed over, looking like they were scrambling to get a good position to face Sherwin.

"Uh, elders, I don't know what you want."

Sherwin was also taken aback by everyone's enthusiasm and asked quickly.

"Brother Sherwin, you helped Lucius eliminate the pests in the spiritual field yesterday. Your method is really miraculous, and we admire it deeply."

A burly man came out and said with a grin.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged woman: "Stop talking nonsense. I didn't even look at Sherwin is a little impatient."

As she said that, the woman looked at Sherwin, her face suddenly changed to a warm smile, and said: "Brother Sherwin, you will be considered a member of our Feiyun Village from now on. You live alone, I'm afraid It’s very inconvenient, so we’re here to send you some daily supplies.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the villagers nodded: "Yes, yes, the Craner family's mother-in-law can speak well. This is exactly what everyone wants to say."

A heartfelt smile appeared on Sherwin thin and slightly pale face, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'll help you elders."

Next, the villagers were not idle, and they all quickly helped Sherwin clean up the yard and arrange household items.

Sherwin originally wanted to help, but was stopped by the "the Craner family family's mother-in-law" as everyone said. She first fetched hot water and helped Sherwin wash up, and then served a bowl of Linggu porridge and a large bowl of pickled animal meat. , serves as breakfast for Sherwin.

The other party was so enthusiastic that even Sherwin couldn't refuse and could only accept them all with a smile. During the chat, Sherwin had already changed his title and called the other party "Aunt Merlot", which made the "Mother the Craner family" smile.

When Sherwin had breakfast, the entire dilapidated and deserted courtyard had a completely new look. The ground was smooth and clean, and a layer of bluestone was paved. The vegetable patch in the corner had also been plowed again, and some spiritual vegetable seeds had been sprinkled on it.

The three thatched huts were renovated, and golden straw was spread thickly on the eaves, giving them a blurry luster in the morning light.

In the kitchen, pots and pans are arranged in an orderly manner, and strings of dried animal meat and game are hung on the walls.

In short, it was only then that this dilapidated courtyard had a warm atmosphere suitable for living.

Sherwin smiled and saw all this in his eyes, and he was really moved in his heart. He had never experienced this kind of simple and enthusiastic folk customs before.

Seeing that everything was cleaned up and all the villagers were about to say goodbye and leave, Sherwin seemed to remember something and said, "Elders, wait a moment."

Everyone stopped and looked at Sherwin.

Aunt Merlot was straightforward and straightforward, and asked directly: "What's wrong? If there is anything missing at home, just tell me and we will help you get it together."

Sherwin shook his head with a smile and said: "Elders, please listen to me, everyone has seen what happened yesterday. I, Sherwin, have no other abilities, but I still have some means to eliminate pests in the spiritual field. If everyone If you need help, just ask.”

Before she could finish her words, Aunt Merlot slapped her forehead and said with a smile: "I have forgotten about this incident. Brother Sherwin, to be honest, my six-acre spiritual field is the same as the Lucius family's spiritual field. It’s all gone because of the pests. Seeing that those spiritual valleys are about to wither and die, I feel really anxious. Why don’t you take the time to help Aunt Merlot?”

Seeing Aunt Merlot open her mouth, the others immediately became anxious. The reason why they eagerly came to deliver things to Sherwin and clean the courtyard before dawn was, on the one hand, to Sherwin, but the most important thing was actually I still have something to ask for. Like Lucius, the Linggu cultivated by these villagers also suffered from insect pests. Seeing that a year's harvest was about to be destroyed, how could they not be anxious.

The appearance of Sherwin undoubtedly made these villagers see the light.

After all, the scene that happened in the Lucius family's spiritual field yesterday evening was really magical. A straight golden rainbow shot into the sky, bringing down the silvery moonlight, and eliminated the pests in the spiritual field in one fell swoop. All this gave the villagers a sense of wonder. Unprecedented shock.

"Brother Sherwin, my family's nine-acre spiritual field has also been infested by insects. The situation is very serious. If you can help me, I will treat you as a relative."

"No matter how serious the insect infestation is on my family's spiritual field, within seven days, all seven acres of my family's spiritual field will be destroyed."

All of a sudden, the villagers spoke in all directions, Sherwin one after another, looking miserable.

Sherwin was a little startled. He did not expect that so many villagers would be infested with pests in their spiritual fields this time.

For a moment, he couldn't help but be a little hesitant, not knowing who to agree to first.

According to Sherwin's current ability, he can only carve at most one "light-guiding spirit pattern" in a day. Unless his cultivation reaches the "opening" level of the third level of Zhenwu, in which case, he can carve one more light-guiding spirit pattern every day. Pattern.

But that's obviously not possible at the moment.

He has been stuck in this realm for two years, and he doesn't even know when he will be able to break through and advance.

what to do

Who should I agree to first?

Looking at the eager eyes of all the villagers, Sherwin really couldn't make a choice.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded: "You all stand down. I Sherwin this matter with Lin Xun and help everyone solve it one by one."

An old and tall figure walked into the small courtyard, it was the village chief Rhodes.

Sherwin cupped his hands and said, "uncle Rhodes, you came at the right time. This junior has just arrived and is confused about the situation in the village. You really need to arrange this matter."

Seeing this, all the villagers immediately understood that Sherwin had agreed, and it would depend on what the village chief would do next, so they all left happily.

Soon, only Rhodes and Sherwin were left in the courtyard.

"More than a hundred years ago, there was also a spirit pattern master living in this small courtyard. I was only fourteen years old at that time."

Rhodes put his hands on his back and walked to the weeping willow tree, caressing the thick trunk, with a hint of reminiscence in his old eyes.
