The entrance to Jiuli Village is bustling with activity.
All the villagers who heard the news about Lu Qing's return ran out of the village.
"It's true that Ah Qing and the others are back!"
"We haven't seen each other for a few months. Ah Qing seems to have changed a bit."
"Xiaoyan has also changed and grown up a bit."
"What kind of horses are those two, and why do they have horns on their heads?"
"Who is that girl? She is so pretty."
"We have never seen such a beautiful girl from all over the country!"
…
The villagers were talking a lot, some were looking at the changes in Lu Qing and others, and some were curious about the two dragon-blooded horses.
Some were even surprised by Hu Zezhi's appearance.
Amidst the discussion, Lu Qing came to Uncle Zhang.
"Grandpa Zhang, I'm back."
"It'll be good to come back safely, it'll be good to come back safely."
Uncle Zhang's eyes were a little moist, and his body was shaking with excitement.
"Did you encounter any danger during this trip?"
"No, everything is safe. Master is watching. We don't cause trouble, so how can we be in danger?" Lu Qing said with a smile.
The old doctor on the side:...
But Uncle Zhang took it seriously. He quickly bowed to the old doctor and said: "Thank you, old doctor, for taking care of Ah Qing and Xiaoyan all the way. Otherwise, Ah Qing and Xiaoyan would have been so energetic and energetic, and I don't know what kind of trouble would have happened. "
The old doctor paused for a moment, then smiled: "Old man Zhang, I'm joking. Ah Qing and Xiao Yan were the ones taking care of my daily life and food along the way. Old man, I didn't do anything."
"That's what Ah Qing should do as a disciple."
"Grandpa Zhang, let's go to the village first."
Seeing that Uncle Zhang seemed to want to continue thanking him, Lu Qing said quickly.
"Yes, look at me, an old fool. You must be tired after traveling for such a long time. Go back to the village and rest first."
Uncle Zhang patted his head and said.
"I'll take off the red rope first."
Lu Qing walked to Xin Shu and gently took off the three red ropes that were tied to it when he set out.
After months of exposure to wind and rain, the red rope had turned white, but Lu Qing still solemnly pressed it under the stone slab.
The villagers smiled when they saw this scene.
Back home, Lu Qing found that the weeds in the yard had been cleared away.
The house was spotless, and it didn't look like it had been occupied for months.
It was much cleaner than when Lu Qing and Xiaoyan left.
Lu Qing knew that it must be Uncle Zhang and the others who came to clean every day to make the house free of dust smell.
"Aqing, you guys just came back. I'm afraid you won't have time to prepare food or anything like that. I'll ask your Uncle Zhang and the others to come over later."
Uncle Zhang looked around and said.
Lu Qing was about to speak when a burst of noise suddenly came from outside.
A voice shouted: "Mr. Lu Xiaolang, in the name of Lord Ma, I bring you something."
"Brother Xiaotian?"
Lu Qing walked out of the house and found Xiaotian, whom he had not seen for a long time, standing outside the yard with a few people, all carrying burdens on their shoulders.
"Brother Xiaotian, are you coming from Daji?"
"Yes, I just received a letter from Master Ma, and then I found out that you guys are back, Mr. Ma.
Mr. Ma asked me to bring some daily necessities to you and Dr. Chen. "
Xiaotian said respectfully.
"Master Ma is still thoughtful and puts the things in."
Xiaotian took several of his men and picked out all the burdens.
There is everything you need, including rice, noodles, meat, vegetables and fruits, and even some daily toiletries.
"Lu Xiaolangjun, look at what else is missing, I will have it delivered right away."
"No need, I think everything here is quite complete, thank you, Brother Xiaotian."
Lu Qing took a look and saw that there was nothing missing, so he nodded and thanked.
"In that case, I won't disturb Mr. Lu Xiaolang."
Xiaotian asked, bowed respectfully, and left with the people.
When Lu Qing saw this, he shook his head.
This time when he came back, Xiaotian seemed to be much more cautious.
I don't know what Master Ma said to him in the letter.
"Grandpa Zhang, look, I have no shortage of food here, so I don't need to trouble you."
Lu Qing turned around and smiled.
Uncle Zhang looked at the things on the ground and laughed: "Ah Qing, you are so proud. Someone brought you gifts as soon as you came back."
Uncle Zhang has seen a lot of Supervisor Xiaotian in the past two years.
Every once in a while, he would personally deliver some daily necessities to Lu Qing.
I just didn't expect that he would be so well-informed.
Lu Qing's front foot had just returned, and his back foot followed.
"By the way, Uncle Zhang, I just came back today and haven't prepared anything yet, so I can't leave everyone to eat.
Please tell everyone outside later. In a day or two, I will arrange a banquet for about ten tables to celebrate with everyone. "
"Okay, you have guests today, so I won't disturb you anymore. You greet the guests first."
Uncle Zhang did not dissuade him. He knew that the money was not worth mentioning to Lu Qing.
After all the villagers left, Lu Qing said to Hu Zezhi and his daughter, "The villagers care about me and Xiaoyan, so they made a little noise, which made the two of us laugh."
"Where, the people here are honest and honest, which is really rare. Xiaolian and I are lucky to be able to settle here."
Hu Laosan said quickly.
"By the way, before coming back, I told Senior Wei in advance that Uncle Hu, you can stay in the Wei family courtyard for the time being.
There are many vacant rooms there, and there are servants taking care of them, so it won't be a problem. Lu Qing said.
"Then Mr. Lu Lu will be here." Hu Zezhi thanked him.
So Lu Qing took Hu Zezhi and his daughter to stay in the Wei family courtyard.
After settling them, he came to the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain.
I want to help the master clean up the house.
But when he arrived at the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, he found that the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain was also very neat.
I don’t know if it was the villagers who did it, or Wei Shanhai who often came here to pick plum tea and sent someone to clean it.
"Aqing, come here for a moment."
At this time, the old doctor's voice came from behind the house.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Lu Qing walked to the back of the house and was about to ask, but was suddenly stunned.
Next to the old doctor, I saw a small garden surrounded by greenery and fences, exuding rich vitality.
It was the medicine field they had opened up before.
"This medicine field..."
Lu Qing approached and was a little surprised to see many medicinal materials growing vigorously in the medicine field.
However, after only a few months, these medicinal materials seemed to have been growing for ten years.
The medicine is full of potency and is completely ready for use.
More importantly, he also felt that the earth energy here was very strong.
It seems that the energy of the earth for miles around is continuously gathering here. There is a very strong vitality lurking underneath.
"That thousand-year-old ginseng didn't escape?"
Lu Qing immediately recognized the source of that vitality and was immediately surprised.
Because it was the thousand-year-old ginseng that he caught and later put into the medicinal field to help alienate the earth's energy from the medicinal field.
When he originally left the village and headed to Zhongzhou that day.
Lu Qing was still thinking that by the time they came back, this thousand-year-old ginseng plant would have disappeared long ago and escaped.
Unexpectedly, it was still in the medicine field.
And looking at the situation in front of me, I have been working very hard to help manage and cultivate this medicinal field.
It seemed that he felt the movement outside, and the vitality that had been sleeping underneath suddenly changed.
It floated upward quietly, and soon, a few leaves slowly emerged.
Seeing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh: "You are quite brave, aren't you afraid of being caught again?"
This sentence immediately caused the leaves to swish and retract to the ground.
But soon, the thousand-year-old ginseng seemed to sense something was wrong.
Suddenly it emerged from the ground again and came to the old doctor. Most of its chubby body was exposed. The leaves on the top were like human arms. They were gesticulating excitedly and seemed to be accusing something. .
"This little thing seems to have become more intelligent?"
Lu Qing was a little surprised. Could it be that he was affected by the revival of spiritual energy?
"Okay, okay, I know I broke the promise, and I will compensate you now."
The old doctor apologized repeatedly, took out a jade bottle from his arms, and poured a drop of milky white medicine into his body.
When the medicinal liquid fell on his body, Thousand-Year Ginseng's body suddenly stiffened, and then he sucked in the medicinal liquid.
The leaves above the head were shaking, as if they were enjoying themselves very much.
The next moment, it disappeared and went underground to absorb the liquid.
He no longer bothered to argue with the old doctor about his missed appointment.
"Master, you've gone a long way this time and given it a whole drop of earth vein spiritual liquid." Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Since it has not left, it has recognized this place. It has taken care of this medicine field so well, and it should be compensated."
When the old doctor first opened up the medicinal field, he had an agreement with this ginseng plant.
As long as it helped sort out the earth's energy every day, he would give it a drop of medicine diluted and prepared by the earth's spiritual liquid every three days.
Later, they had to go to Zhongzhou, and this agreement could not be continued.
I thought the thousand-year-old ginseng would leave, but I never thought it would stay here forever.
"Since it is willing to stay, it is just right that the disciple comes back this time and wants to study the formation method for a period of time.
Then let's see if we can use the formation to gather the earth energy and spiritual energy and open up a real garden of elixirs. "
Lu Qing said seriously.
He has had this idea for a long time.
Nowadays, the heaven and earth are changing, spiritual energy is recovering, and everything in the world has also entered a mysterious period of change.
Under this gradual evolution, some spiritual beasts and elixirs only found in ancient legends may appear one after another in the days to come.
But that was still a bit too slow for Lu Qing.
So he wanted to try to see if he could use what he had learned to cultivate a batch of elixirs in advance to seize the opportunity.
"This is very good. Now that the world is undergoing drastic changes, the epidemic may also undergo unpredictable changes.
If we can develop a magical medicine, we won't be helpless if we encounter those difficult diseases in the future. "
The old doctor was very happy to hear this.
He is a kind-hearted doctor, but he was originally worried about the current changes in the world.
Lu Qing's idea was just right for them to prepare for a rainy day.
"And Master, I want to go into the mountains tomorrow to see what the situation is like in the mountains.
Xiaoyan and the others need you to take care of them temporarily, Master. "
"Okay, go ahead with confidence and pay attention to safety."
The old doctor said solemnly.
He knew his disciples' concerns.
Although their trip to Zhongzhou was extremely fruitful, they also had great opportunities.
But at the same time, it also laid a lot of troubles and offended many people.
Needless to say, Xuankong Mountain is already a sworn enemy.
There is also the Holy Mountain, although the Holy Mountain has always been established in the world in the name of justice.
But people have selfish motives.
The third Holy Master was defeated by Lu Qing in front of so many powerful men that day.
No one can guarantee whether he will be resentful.
Otherwise, when they left that day, the Holy Mountain would not have given the order to the owner of Tianji to invite Lu Qing to the mountain.
In addition, there is the mysterious demon cultivator who was severely injured by Lu Qing, as well as possible remnants of the Qi family, etc.
These are potential threats.
When they came back this time, they drove the wind-riding chariot all the way back at a speed that ordinary people could not match.
But there are still traces to follow.
Others may not know their whereabouts for a while, but if they are serious, it is hard to say whether they will find them in Jiuli Village.
So everything must be done with caution.
"Disciples will be careful." Lu Qing nodded.
The next day, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan to pay homage to her parents' graves, then took her and Xiaoli to a small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, and then entered the Shiwan Mountain alone.
Along the way, Lu Qing carefully sensed and observed the changes in the mountains.
Then, under the double exploration of soul sensing and supernatural powers, Lu Qing discovered that a lot of changes had indeed taken place in the mountain.
First there are plants.
The plants in the mountains are obviously growing more vigorously, especially the vitality of the trees, which has become very rich.
If a cultivator who cultivates wood-type Qi or spiritual power comes to practice deep in the mountains, his cultivation level will advance much faster.
Then there are animals.
The animals in the mountains have also changed a lot, especially the poisonous insects and snakes. Not only have their temperaments become much more ferocious.
The toxicity contained in the body has greatly increased.
If an ordinary person enters here and is bitten, he will probably die on the spot.
Even if you are a warrior in the Houtian realm, if you are poisoned, you may not be able to survive for long if you don't treat the poison in time.
"It seems that the defense of the village will start early."
Feeling the changes in the mountains, Lu Qing felt a little heavy.
The poisonous insects and snakes in the mountains naturally pose no threat to him.
But for the villagers, it was very scary.
If you accidentally get bitten, it can be a big problem.
Thinking in his mind, Lu Qing came to a familiar place before he knew it.
"There haven't been many changes here."
Looking at the gorgeous and charming valley with blooming flowers in front of him, Lu Qing had a smile on his face.
When he entered the mountain this time, in addition to wanting to check the situation in the mountain, the most important thing he wanted to see was whether there were any changes in the Yuhua Cave.
Now it seems that the change is not as big as he imagined.
As usual, after paying a little worship in front of Li Weitian's tomb, Lu Qing crossed the waterfall and entered the heart of the mountain.
