Chapter 218: Chapter 177: Old Demon Duan is Truly Unforgivable! (Subscribe Please)_3

Upon asking, Duan Yun learned that this place was called "Black Mountain Village," located in the eastern part of Qingzhou. Situated at the base of a cliff, it was inconvenient to access, so outsiders rarely visited.

The villagers here were also very simple and enthusiastic, quickly welcoming Duan Yun and the Murong brothers into the village.

Since the horse and carriage needed to rest and it was already getting late, Duan Yun and the Murong brothers ended up staying at the village chief’s home.

The next day, it just so happened that someone in the village was getting married. The villagers persistently persuaded them to stay, so Duan Yun and the Murong brothers attended the wedding banquet.

Black Mountain Village’s wedding banquet wasn’t very elaborate, and the newlywed couple also seemed quite down-to-earth.

But the villagers were genuinely hospitable, just like during New Year’s.

Banquet tables were laid out in a long line, almost stretching from the newlyweds’ doorstep to the end of the village.

Some dishes were provided by the host family, but many more were brought by the villagers themselves. Each household brought a dish, and those with wine brought it along, aiming for a lively atmosphere from start to finish.

Duan Yun and the Murong brothers had never really eaten at such a banquet before; this was their first time attending a continuous seating feast.

It was only while looking at the tables full of dishes that one could truly appreciate why it was called a continuous feast, feeling extremely satisfied.

As outsiders with martial arts skills and handsome appearances, Duan Yun and his coachman, the Murong brothers, attracted quite a bit of attention.

Among them were many girls with spring in their hearts.

Not to mention Duan Yun, even the coachman, the Murong brothers, were quite favored.

Because there were no men in the village as fair-skinned as them.

What surprised the Murong brothers was that this time, no men showed any particular fondness for them, acting inappropriately.

Through this, Duan Yun also got to know the villagers quite well.

Having done so, he discovered something peculiar.

Namely, many villagers had dark circles under their eyes and appeared lethargic, clearly lacking in Yang Qi.

This wasn’t just an isolated case, at least a third of the men were like this.

Only after asking around did he find out that Black Mountain Village had a problem: after a man reached adulthood, especially after getting married and having children, his body would quickly weaken.

It was like a disease that had been around for decades. Even when doctors were consulted, they couldn’t diagnose the problem.

Doctors only suggested moderation after marriage, but some couples barely spent time together once a month, while others were suspicious and kept a close watch on their partners.

Still, nothing could prevent the men from declining in health.

This was the main reason why the village men weren’t particularly interested in the Murong brothers.

Puffing on a leaf cigarette, the village chief said with a worried look, "I don’t know what’s going on. My two sons were full of life before they got married, but afterward, they just couldn’t keep up, not as robust as this old man here."

At this point, Duan Yun and the Murong brothers learned that the village chief’s eldest son had already passed away.

Black Mountain Village seemed to be cursed; once a man got married, he would weaken prematurely, age early, and die after not too many years. As a result, there weren’t many elderly men in the whole village, only children or men who had already grown weak.

In the fields, there were more children and women working.

Having been fed and accommodated in the village for a couple of days, and with the village treating them well, the two heroic young men, with hearts of compassion, really wanted to lend a hand to the villagers.

Unable to contain himself, one of the Murong brothers asked, "Village chief, have you ever considered practicing martial arts to strengthen your bodies?"

The village chief replied, "We, simple folks, only know farming, not these things. Besides, where are there any martial arts to practice?"

The Murong brother exchanged a look with Duan Yun, who nodded. Then with a righteous expression, he stated, "Coincidentally, I know a Cultivation Technique for nourishing yin and strengthening yang. After practicing it, you might not immediately become very vigorous, but you should be able to live a few years longer."

Indeed, the dark cloud hanging over the heads of these simple villagers was the premature weakening and death of the men.

Having already heard about the exceptional skills of the two guests, the village chief said excitedly, "Murong Young Hero, is that true? Can you teach us martial arts?"

"It’s not about fighting or killing, just strength-building exercises. I’ll write it down; whether you practice it is up to you. After I practiced, my Yang Qi became excessively strong." The Murong brother said.

"Thank you so much, Young Hero!"

Realizing that this exercise could potentially extend the lives of the men in the village, and even restore their manliness, Murong, who had not long been known as Young Hero, was very excited and eagerly started teaching the technique.

He finally began to understand why Duan Yun liked being called Young Hero so much, and occasionally teaching techniques.

Being a Young Hero felt great!

Even with a weighty karmic burden and a heart filled with woes, the Murong brother found a sense of purpose in life for a while.
