My life in another world is up to me

Because of the small number of people, Su Ziyi undertook a large part of Xie Shanyi's preparations this year.

Standing by the small river in the village, looking at the sparkling water, Su Ziyi couldn't help feeling a little dazed.Until someone walked lightly, patted his shoulder, and woke him up.

"Doctor Li?" Looking back at the person coming, Su Ziyi couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Are you tired?" Dr. Li smiled and greeted him intimately. He walked to Su Ziyi's side, followed his example, and looked at the clear river. "I'm not tired." Su Ziyi shook his head. These things were just a little complicated, and they didn't bother him. On the contrary, he was a little surprised to see Dr. Li appearing here: "Why are you here?"

"Look at how you're doing." With a light lift of your eyelids, you can see that the aunts and daughters-in-law in the village are cleaning the things used for the ceremony on both sides of the river. Don't forget to chat on twitter, as if the lack of so many people in this ceremony didn't affect them much.

"This time Xie Shanyi will be led by me." Seeing that Su Ziyi still had doubts on his face, Doctor Li took the initiative to explain.

"Huh?" Su Ziyi was stunned: "Are you also in charge of Xie Shanyi's management?" He frowned slightly, and said tentatively: "I remember, I didn't see you last year."

"I had something to do last year, so I didn't have time to participate, and—" Speaking of this, the smile on Dr. Li's face faded, and he withdrew his gaze towards the opposite side: "Originally, I wouldn't directly participate in these things, but I will just do it later." Just take care of it. It's just that Haishan's body can't bear it this year, and someone must come out to replace it, so I, who is alone, will naturally bear the brunt of it." After finishing speaking, he smiled at Su Ziyi nonchalantly.

Haishan, Qi Haishan, the head of Luoshan Village.

Su Ziyi knew it.

And when he mentioned the village head, he thought of another thing: "It seems that I went to the village head's house to move things today, but I didn't see his son." Qi Haishan has a son who is currently working in the town, Qi Yuelin, Before Xie Shanyi last year, Su Ziyi had met him, he was a person who was not very satisfied with the status quo. "Did you not come back?"

"Hey——" Mentioning Qi Yuelin, Dr. Li couldn't help sighing: "It's because the child didn't come back that Haishan broke down." There seemed to be a stream of light rolling in his cloudy eyes. If you look closely, you can't see anything: "Xie Shanyi has been passed down in our village for 150 years. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Everyone treats it carefully. Our fathers gave it to us, and we want to give it to us. young people."

"It's just that young people nowadays are different from us." Dr. Li shook his head and said, squinting his eyes and looking at the blue sky: "Young people nowadays value money too much, and they can throw away everything belonging to their ancestors." , Even if we break the truth into pieces, it will be useless. People, until the end of their lives, they will never realize how terrible mistakes their unintentional actions are."

After saying this, he glanced at Su Ziyi: "I see that all the young people in the village have gone outside one by one, how about you?"

Su Ziyi was still thinking about the meaning of what Dr. Li said just now, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask about his plans. He paused, and then said vaguely: "After all, I am not a native of Luoshan Village." Dr. Li's gaze met Dr. Li's, and the other party seemed to understand what he meant, nodded, and said in relief: "That's right."

"For you, the current Luoshan Village is too small, including Shuiyun Town, which can give you very little help." For a moment, Su Ziyi even felt that Dr. Li had seen through his cultivation, but turned to At first glance, Dr. Li still looks like that gentle old man, and there is nothing strange about it, as if what he just thought was just his illusion.

"If you want to leave, it's better as soon as possible." After finishing the previous sentence, Dr. Li was silent for a while before saying: "Luoshan Village has slowly started to get worse." After that, he only took a deep look Su Ziyi turned around and left.

Su Ziyi thought Dr. Li was talking about the recent problems in the village, so he didn't take it seriously. When the other party left, he politely said goodbye.When Dr. Li took a few steps forward, he was stopped by Li Yu who had just brought a box of dusty masks, and they went to the village head's house to move the rest.

What he didn't know was that after he and Li Yu left, Dr. Li stood still, watching his back for a long time.

"It's so tiring!" After Li Yu and Li Yu sent the last things in the warehouse to the river, Su Ziyi led the way to the entrance of the village, while listening to Li Yu grinning and complaining: "Those people in the village are not too particular. Yes, I agreed to come back, but not many people came back." He looked around furtively, then approached Su Ziyi and said in a low voice, "I heard that Brother Yue Lin didn't ask for leave from his boss. I went to the town to find someone to reason with, but I didn’t want to be stopped by Brother Yuelin, and even said harsh words, so angry that the village chief cursed at that time, telling Brother Yuelin not to come back.”

"Oh?" Su Ziyi didn't quite know that such a thing happened.

"Hey, those of us who grew up with Brother Yuelin all know that he doesn't like the village, let alone take over the village chief's job, and support Xie Shanyi in the village's affairs in the future." He shook his head and said, "The village chief also It’s just a nice name, but if you work hard, you won’t get any benefits, Brother Yue Lin is naturally unwilling, and not only he is unwilling, but no one is willing to put it on the rest of us.”

"After all, it's all because of being too poor." Su Ziyi didn't like talking about these village gossips, so he came to a conclusion casually.

"Yes." They could already see the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and when they saw it, the sadness on Li Yu's face became even worse: "Everyone wants to live a good life, especially those who are in charge of the mine— — You don’t have to do anything every day, just hang around, you can manage people, and you can eat delicious and spicy food, so you don’t have to worry about where your next meal will be.”

"It's just that life is going well. If you want to do this ceremony, you can't be sloppy."

"Now there are so few laborers in the village. If we are tired today, we will be tired. What should we do tomorrow?" Li Yu couldn't help shivering when he thought of tomorrow's Nuo opera.This time, because of the small number of people, he couldn't be lazy, and the role he played changed from a stupid brown bear spirit to a dragon monster that the immortal wanted to kill.

"Then you can only ask for good luck." Su Ziyi couldn't do anything about this kind of thing, so he could only comfort him verbally.

It is also because of the small number of people and the sudden change that all the participants in the ritual Nuo opera failed to adapt to their roles well. As a result, Xie Shanyi's performance on the second day was full of mistakes, but fortunately they were all in the details. place, harmless.And with the increase in the number of performances, everyone gradually became proficient, and in the end they looked decent. ""

But because of this, after the Nuo opera ended, no old man in the village had a good face.

"When those people come back, I guess the village will be in trouble again." After returning home and eating, Bian Qing finally didn't feel hungry. He shook his head and commented on today's Nuo opera: "A lot of people are temporary replacements. Yes, it’s too bad, it doesn’t have the same taste as before.” He really wanted to give it a try, but his family is a foreigner, and it will take several years to participate in Nuo opera performances.

"It can't be helped, everything has already happened, so it's the only way to go." Su Ziyi didn't have any opinion on this matter. He glanced at Bian Qing and Su Yulang, who was obediently drinking porridge, and said, "Tomorrow night at the end of the sacrifice At that moment, remember to practice and cultivate your mind, it will be very beneficial to you, and you may be able to directly advance to the next level."

But hearing his words, both Bian Qing and Su Yulang's eyes lit up.Especially Bian Qing, he immediately remembered last year at Xie Shanyi, when Su Ziyi was promoted from the fifth level of Qi refining to the sixth level of Qi refining. in this way.

On the third day, because things didn’t go well the day before, all the villagers went to the banyan tree at the entrance of the village obediently. If you are not careful, you will be scolded by the old people.

At the same time, he cursed those dishonest guys in his heart. If it wasn't for them, how could there be such embarrassment now?

But when I thought that there were my own family members among those people, and that my family members were also for the sake of the family's livelihood, the curse in my heart immediately became much smaller, but it completely died down after a while.

"Please——Xie Shanyi!"

As Dr. Li said before, he will be the host of the sacrifice on the last night.Last year, the village chief who was able to pay respects to the immortals loudly has completely bent his back, his face is full of sorrow, and there is no trace of the healthy appearance he used to be able to sing thousands of miles, but only shame and sadness on his face.He blended in with the other villagers and was short, as if he could hide himself by doing so.

Just like last year, the Su family still occupies the last position, but the people around Su Ziyi have changed a lot, many of them are half-grown kids, they all held back their laughter, and when they bent down to offer incense, they couldn't help it. grinned.

And Dr. Li, who was standing at the highest place of the altar, couldn't help frowning when he saw their funny faces because of the suppressed laughter.

Su Ziyi thought that these things had nothing to do with him.

He repeated the same action sternly, completed the entire ceremony, and when he returned to Bian Qing and Su Yulang, those two gave him a very proud smile. "Father, you are awesome." Su Yulang slightly bent Su Ziyi's waist, and said quietly: "Of all the people, father is the best."

"Heh." Although it's not a big deal, Su Ziyi felt happy from the bottom of his heart when he heard Su Yulang's words, rubbed his head, and led Bian Qing and Su Yulang to sing weird tunes while following the team's actions Go forward.

It's just that I don't know if it's his illusion.

He always felt that something had changed during this sacrifice.

At last year's sacrifice, as the ballad was sung, Su Ziyi could feel a sense of magnificence, and his mind swayed slightly.But today, it was still the same tune. Dr. Li's leading eulogy was no worse than that of the village chief, and even a bit more outstanding, but he always felt that something was missing, which made him unable to form a resonance in his heart.

He glanced over the faces of the surrounding villagers, and found that many of them had dull faces. Although the tone in their mouths was correct, they were not emotionally integrated at all, and appeared lifeless.What's more, Su Ziyi saw a trace of resistance, even disgust, from their eyes.

It turned out that the people in the village didn't value Xie Shanyi so much?

Suddenly, Su Ziyi remembered what Li Yu told him last year.He understood the emotions in the hearts of the villagers, but—he was also thinking that the poverty in Luoshan Village has continued from generation to generation. What the young people of this generation are confused and confused is what their parents and grandparents were confused about. It definitely exists, so how did those ancestors overcome their fear of poverty, stay in this dilapidated small village, and repeat this monotonous ceremony devoutly year after year?

Dr. Li, who walked in the front, had a straight back and a loud voice, leading in front of everyone with a pioneering momentum that seemed nothing could defeat him.And perhaps because his earnestness infected other people, those villagers who were a little disdainful in their hearts slowly became serious and began to devote themselves wholeheartedly to it.

It was only after they got serious that Su Ziyi realized that the lost thing had returned, and it looked the same as last year.

Suddenly, he understood.

He looked at the dancing figure of the bonfire, smelled the burning smell at the tip of his nose, and then put his emotions into it.He didn't know what this Xie Shanyi was, but there was no doubt that the villagers' sincere intentions were the key to activating it. Without it, the song might just be an ordinary song in a different language, and the ceremony would be nothing more than a simple worship ceremony.

But now, with the hearts of the villagers, everything comes alive in an instant!

He thought of the pure spiritual power at the last moment of the sacrifice, and he couldn't help but superstitiously doubted whether such a god really existed. Because the villagers were too pious, he would send down pure spiritual energy to allow the practitioners to cultivate. Save it, so that ordinary people can also use spiritual energy to nourish their bodies and strengthen their bodies?

But these are just unreliable conjectures.

He shook his head and looked at Dr. Li who had already climbed up to the altar, with his hands raised high and his voice so loud that he sang the most soul-stirring tune at a high pitch in this silent night, following Bian Qing and Su Yulang Close your eyes, put your palms together in front of your chest, and activate your inner mental method, waiting for the burst of spiritual energy to arrive.

When the pure spiritual energy arrived as promised, the three of them breathed out crazily, but Su Ziyi frowned——

--wrong!

——This aura is wrong!

——This aura is no longer completely pure, and there are mottled ingredients on the facade!
