I just want to live well but I surpass the protagonist.

——Buliu Village

After killing the crossbow killer in the woods several kilometers away, Long Tian lay on the ground, gasping for air.

He was scarred and his clothes were in tatters, and he looked like a bloody man at the moment.

But with his cultivation level of the second level of crystallization, he was already very impressive when he successively killed two killers who had been on the second level for many years and a third level of crystallization.

But Long Tian was not proud. He looked at the gray sky and remembered the kind eyes that Uncle Liu looked at him at the end. His eyes began to turn slightly red, and various thoughts came to his mind.

He got up and took away all the things on the killer's body, leaving only the sect's tokens. As for the corpse, there is no need to take care of it at all. Wild animals will help destroy the corpse and eliminate traces later.

Dragging bloodstains all the way, Long Tian returned to the village.

Uncle Liu fell down where he was before, lying quietly, with no pain on his face. If it weren't for the blood seeping through the snow, which turned black and red, he would have looked like he was asleep.

Long Tian knelt in front of Uncle Liu, grabbed his thick old hands, and cried: "I'm sorry, Uncle Liu, it's all my fault. If I didn't come back... nothing would have happened. I'm sorry. ....."

The old man Yuxian didn't say anything. Although he wanted to say that things in the world are unpredictable and life and death are determined by fate, it was obvious that Long Tian should be allowed to vent his sorrow of losing his loved ones.

"Tian'er! What's going on!?" Not long after, the villagers who had been knocked unconscious by the talisman woke up one after another. When they came out, they saw Long Tian kneeling on the snow and Uncle Liu, who was motionless.

The killer organization is not a demon sect. In a sense, they are recognized by the righteous way. After all, there are some dirty jobs. Anyone in the righteous way will secretly entrust them if they don't want to dirty their hands and reputation. Moreover, historical facts have proven that killer organizations that kill mortals indiscriminately cannot go very far. Therefore, most organizations will take at most a few hostages due to mission requirements.

After all, compared to slaughtering hundreds of people in an entire village, killing a few hostage-wise is completely within the acceptable range, and the righteous monks will not care too much.

This is why the killer who was killed by Long Tian at the beginning pretended to be a passing monk and distributed "welfare" to the villagers. In fact, all he distributed were talismans with the effect of causing coma and erasing short-term memory.

"Some criminals broke into the village." Long Tian didn't want to talk more. Uncle Liu's death filled him with self-blame and anger. He secretly vowed to 'repay' Bai Song and the Black Mantis Sect.

After picking up Uncle Liu's body, Long Tian returned home, wrapped the body, briefly disposed of the blood in the living room, dragged out the first headless body, and threw it outside the village.

The villagers watched Long Tian do all this in silence, and no one came forward to talk, because they had no idea what was going on, and most of them were mortals, and they did not dare to interfere too much with the affairs of the immortal cultivators.

By the time Long Tian finished his work, it was already noon.

What was originally a festive New Year's Eve dinner with the villagers turned into a funeral banquet for Uncle Liu.

Long Tian was sitting at the village chief's table. He had changed into clean clothes and the wounds on his body were treated with elixirs. He was almost healed.

"Brother Tian, ​​there is no resurrection after death. Please forgive me and accept the change." Cuihua, the daughter of the village chief, is the most beautiful in the village, but compared with most of the female nuns in Tianluo Sect, she is far behind. .

Of course, in Long Tian's eyes, she was just an ordinary passerby. It was good enough that she didn't hold any grudge against him when she was a child and bullies from the same village.

Seeing that Long Tian was silent, Cuihua said again: "Uncle Liu's body will be buried tomorrow. How about... staying at my house tomorrow night?"

Long Tian still didn't speak. At this time, the village chief quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, Cuihua, Tian'er is in a bad mood, just let him be alone."

Then people at the same table also expressed their condolences and condolences to Uncle Liu.

Long Tian stopped eating his chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls of food. He really had no appetite, but as a fellow villager, Uncle Liu was going to be buried in the village cemetery, and he wanted to give him some face so that the villagers could take more care of Uncle Liu's grave.

After the dinner, Long Tian returned to the house and stayed with Uncle Liu's body, recalling every detail of their lives.

——Ye Jia

The main purpose of Ye Yong's New Year greetings is actually not to get any new year's money, but simply to feel the atmosphere of the earth during the New Year.

After all, as he becomes more and more integrated into this world and his cultivation becomes higher and higher, his state of mind will definitely be affected and change. Just like when we were still on earth, more and more people say that celebrating the New Year has lost its flavor. In fact, it’s not that the flavor of the year has disappeared, but that I have passed the age where I can truly enjoy it.

This is the first Spring Festival that Ye Yong has traveled through time. Naturally, he hopes that it will be more impressive, lest as the timeline develops, more and more troubles will arise, causing him to no longer have time to think about these things.

After a round, Ye Yong received nearly 2,000 high-grade spiritual stones as a new year's gift. This is not a small amount. It can challenge the treasury of some big countries. It is truly rich that can rival other countries.

More and more descendants of the Ye family followed him, ranging from 5 years old to over 20 years old, both boys and girls, and they also received lucky money.

Each person actually has dozens of middle-grade spiritual stones! It's so scary!

Ye Yong looked back at his cousins ​​and felt that the elders of Ye's family really had double standards. It's no wonder that in the novel, the family was ruined because of 'Ye Yong' alone.

"Brother Yong, how much did my grandfather give you?" A 5-year-old child was pushed out by Ye Mao and others to speak.

After all, the new year's money given to Ye Yong was all filled with spirit stones, but the one given to them was just a medium-grade spirit stone, which really made people curious.

"Actually, it's not much." Ye Yong smiled helplessly. He, Ye, is not a devil, so he won’t speak out to attack you.

"How much is not much?" However, children usually seek the root of the problem.

"About twice as much as you."

The child counted his fingers: "Oh, I know, two middle-grade spiritual stones."

Ye Mao and others behind him didn't believe it, but Ye Yongyong said that there was nothing they could do. The elders of the family had basically finished visiting, and it was noon now, so they should all leave.

"Wait." Seeing that the male descendants of the Ye family were about to leave and the female descendants were about to join in, Ye Yong immediately stopped them.

"How about we go have a meal together? It seems like we have never tried young people getting together."

Those cousins ​​naturally agreed one after another. As for the cousins, they also remembered the advice of their elders to learn more from Ye Yong, so they also agreed.

Just like that, a group of second-generation ancestors of the Ye family who rarely get together came to the dining room.

Except for Ye Yong, the Ye family is a single lineage. The other grandfathers have many descendants, and descendants have descendants. Not counting cousins, there are more than 50 cousins ​​under the age of 20 alone. Including people like Ye Mao who are over 20 years old, and excluding those who have not returned from practicing in other sects, there are a total of 63 people present.

They are all characters who may develop into villains seeking death in the future.

Ye Yong has decided to teach them how to behave, so as to save the Ye family from causing trouble and causing him trouble.
