I quietly became a big boss in the novice village

More importantly, there was a little girl sitting on the toad's back.

And the crisp and melodious singing voice just now came from the little girl.

Seeing Duan Zhenghou staring blankly at the toad in the distance, the middle-aged man at the side thought Duan Zhenghou was frightened.

In fact, outsiders who have just arrived in the town will be more or less shocked by the size of the toad.

On the contrary, the residents in the small town are used to it, and they are used to it.

"Mr. Duan, don't be afraid. Although that frog looks a bit big, it is very docile and obedient. It doesn't eat people!" The middle-aged strong man laughed.

frog?

Or does it just look a little big?

Duan Zhenghou looked at the middle-aged man with doubts on his face, "Aren't you surprised by such a big...frog?"

He is a monk, and he has seen monsters bigger than this toad. The reason why he was surprised just now was purely accidental.

After all, ordinary monsters rarely appear in secular towns.

"I used to have some, but then I got used to it!"

The middle-aged strong man smiled.

The people in the town watched the toad grow up. They were a little surprised when the toad was about the size of a puppy before, but they didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until the toad grew to the size of a big dog that the residents of the town realized that the toad raised by the mayor was a little different.

At that time, this incident became the talk of the town residents after dinner.

Fortunately, the toad raised by the mayor's family is very docile, and this toad is raised by Xiao Xibao, who can give people good fortune, so the residents of the town did not feel disgusted with the toad.

Nowadays, some people even wonder how big the mayor's toad can grow.

Duan Zhenghou couldn't help but look up at the giant toad again.

This toad has an aura comparable to that of a baby's Dzogchen.

And although the little girl on the toad's back restrained her breath, he could still faintly feel that the little girl was a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

To be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age must either have extremely high spiritual root aptitude, or be cultivated by a huge immortal cultivating family behind it.

Duan Zhenghou was about to ask which family this little girl belonged to, but the middle-aged man at the side raised his hand and greeted the little girl riding a toad.

"Little Xibao!"

Toad stopped suddenly.

Xiao Xibao poked his head out from the toad's back, and blinked his big bright eyes.

"Hello Uncle Stone!"

Xiao Xibao greeted the middle-aged man very politely.

"Where have you been?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"I just went to deliver barbecue to my mother!" Xiao Xibao's voice was tender and sweet.

"Barbecue, it must be delicious!" The middle-aged strong man said again.

"Yeah, it's delicious!"

Xiao Xibao's little head is dotted, and he looks like he agrees.

"Uncle Shitou, I have to go home, so I won't talk to you anymore!"

Xiao Xibao still wanted to rush home to eat barbecue, so after saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, he hummed a ditty while riding a toad home

The middle-aged strong man smiled and watched the toad go away.

"Which family does this little girl belong to?" Duan Zhenghou asked curiously.

"This is the little girl of our mayor's family. She is very cute and sensible. There is no one in our town who doesn't like this child." The middle-aged strong man smiled.

really!

Duan Zhenghou glanced complicatedly at the toad going away.

Raising a Nascent Soul Dzogchen monster, refining Xuantian Lingbao, and the magic circle in this town, all these undoubtedly told him that the mysterious monk who lived in seclusion in this town was the mayor.

Moreover, he could conclude that the mayor's cultivation base was extremely high, but he didn't know how high it was.

Later on the road, Duan Zhenghou wanted to know something about the mayor from the middle-aged man beside him, but he clearly couldn't ask directly.

So, first ask about the title of this middle-aged strong man.

This middle-aged strong man's surname is Wang, his first name is Shi, and his nickname is Shishi, but it is usually called by people who are familiar with him.

Seeing that the time was right, Duan Zhenghou asked about the mayor's affairs.

But what he didn't expect was that after he just asked, Wang Shi told him the deeds of the mayor like beans.

When the mayor was the village head, the village had a bumper harvest every year, and he was a well-known lucky little village head in the village.

After that, he was always willing to help others, healed the villagers, opened a school, and made the village better and better.

In particular, the mayor contributed a lot to becoming the corner town it is today.

Duan Zhenghou became more and more interested in the mysterious mayor the more he listened.

A dignified monk would do so many things for mortals, what on earth is he trying to do?

But from Wang Shi's admiring gaze, Duan Zhenghou knew that the mysterious mayor was loved by the people in the town.

"That's the archway of our town, and the words on the archway were written by our mayor!"

Wang Shi raised his hand and pointed to the distance.

Duan Zhenghou looked up, and he froze on the spot.

I saw a majestic, tall and magnificent archway standing in the distance.

There are three words engraved on the top of the archway, "Jianga Town", and there is also a couplet on the stone pillars on both sides, which reads, "The sea reaches the boundless sky as the shore, and the mountain climbs to the top and I am the peak."

These words instantly reverberated word by word in Duan Zhenghou's mind. Every word, every stroke, every stroke was full of majestic atmosphere, and there was also a faint hint of...

"The Way of Artifact Refining?"

Duan Zhenghou's heart was shaken.

That's right, the characters in front of me not only contain the infinite atmosphere of Confucianism and Taoism, but also engrave the true meaning of the refining tool on the characters.

"Mr. Duan also studies calligraphy?"

Seeing Duan Zhenghou staring blankly at the archway, the middle-aged strong man did not show any surprise.

After all, students from the academy in the town and scholars outside would often come to the archway to observe the mayor's handwriting.

According to them, the mayor's calligraphy attainments can at least rank among the top ten in Dawei.

"Brother Wang, you said this word was written by your mayor?"

Duan Zhenghou suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at Wang Shi.

"Yeah, how's it going? The calligraphy written by our mayor is not bad!"

Wang Shi's expression was quite proud. You must know that the calligraphy written by their mayor even the officials in the county would come to appreciate it from time to time.

Duan Zhenghou nodded in agreement in a daze.

Before, he guessed that the mysterious monk living in seclusion in the small town was at the lowest level of integration, and he even thought that he might be a Mahayana monk.

But after seeing the words in front of him, he wasn't sure.

But he can determine one thing.

That is, the monk who lives in seclusion in the small town is definitely an unborn hermit master.

"Perhaps the mayor didn't bother to come out to see each other?"

Duan Zhenghou smiled wryly in his heart.

Before, when he stepped into the small town, he found that there was a monk living in seclusion in the small town, but the other party didn't say hello, and he was still a little unhappy.

After all, most monks live in seclusion somewhere, and if a foreign monk passes by, they will either send a voice transmission to the other party, or come out to meet.

And knowing that there are outsiders coming, but still refusing to come out, this is a bit impolite.

However, this is only when the cultivation base is equal, or the other party's cultivation base is stronger than oneself.

If a monk who lives in seclusion has a very high level of cultivation, who would lower his status to come out to meet a junior.
