Chapter 44 Returning Home
After leaving the Fu Zang Golden Pavilion, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He first went back to his cave to make good preparations, and by the way, he also stabilized his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining. It was not until more than ten days later that Song Qingming packed up his clothes and walked out of the cave and headed to the foot of Funiu Mountain.
After going down the mountain, Song Qingming planned to return to his home in Mujiao Town to see if his family members he had not seen for three years and the water spirit fruit he had placed at home were okay.
In the Song family's mansion, the lively and lovely Song Yunshan has suddenly become the Song family's favorite. At the age of three, he has long been accustomed to running around the yard in front of and behind the Song family. On this day, he When I arrived at an ordinary hut on the west side of the backyard, I was about to get into the room and take a look. I pushed the door hard, but found that the door had not moved at all, and there was a clanking sound of iron chains on the door.
Song Yunshan looked up curiously and saw that there were two huge iron ropes tied above the small door. Just when he didn't know what to do, a plainly dressed servant of the Song family not far away panicked. ran over and carried Song Yunshan away from here.
"Ouch. My little master, you scared me to death. Fortunately, the old lady and the others are not in the backyard now. If anyone sees it, they will beat me to death."
This guy kept talking all the way, But he didn't expect that everything would fall into the ears of Song Qingming, who had just entered the Song family. Now that Song Qingming's cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was already smarter than ordinary people. It was difficult for him to escape even the slightest move within a hundred steps. of both ears.
As soon as he walked into the gate, Song Qingming saw his elderly parents waiting in front. Both parents were nearly fifty years old, which was considered quite old among mortals.
Although they have all taken some spiritual substances given by Song Qingming and are still in good health, Song Qingming, who has not returned home for three years, can still clearly see that his parents have many wrinkles on their faces. , even his fourth brother, who is three years younger than him, now looks like his older brother.
Mortals are no more than seventy or eighty years old. Normally, it is rare for people to live over sixty years old. I will go on a long trip next, and it will probably take a few years to come back. I can accompany you in the future. Thinking about it, I don’t think I spend too many days with my parents.
After chatting with his family in the hall, Song Qingming came to the outside of the small house that no one had entered in three years. Behind him, his father Song Dezhang carefully took a key from his house and opened the locked key in person. In chains for three years.
When Song Qingming left, he specifically told his parents and family that no one was allowed to enter this hut while he was away. For his son who had become an immortal, Song Dezhang had been obedient and honest for the most part over the years. Throughout his life, he knew very well that without Song Qingming's care, the Song family would never have such a good life today.
There was a "squeak" sound of the iron chain, and the iron lock was quickly removed by Song Dezhang. After opening the door, a damp musty smell rushed towards everyone. When Song Qingming walked in, Song Dezhang deliberately stood at the door, blocking Mother Song and others who wanted to enter.
The house that had not been occupied for three years was already covered in dust. There were still a few spider webs hanging on the beams and seats. Looking at the dilapidated and depressed scene in front of him, Song Qingming was very satisfied. My father still took his words to heart. No one else had probably come into his small house in the past few years, and the furnishings in the house were the same as when he left.
Song Qingming walked gently to the place where he buried the water spirit fruit, wanting to make sure that the things were safe. Now that his family was considered a wealthy family in Mujiao Town, he was still afraid of meeting someone who didn't have eyesight. The thief got in here by mistake.
After a brief inspection, he found that the forbidden method he had originally arranged was still intact. Seeing that the water spirit fruit in the red jade box was still lying safely inside, Song Qingming felt relieved and stood up to greet everyone outside the house to enter the room. .
Looking at the dirty look everywhere in the house and the pungent musty smell, everyone couldn't help but frowned, until Song Qingming lit a stream of fragrant wood in the house, and a burst of fragrant spiritual energy slowly blended in. Once inside the house, everyone felt a little better.
This spiritual wood incense not only exudes an alluring fragrance, but also has the effect of refreshing and relieving fatigue for monks. Lighting one when practicing can help you enter the cultivation state faster, whether you are a monk or a mortal who smells it This kind of spiritual fragrance will make you feel comfortable.
However, although this kind of spiritual object is not of high value, it is rare in Weiguo. It is a unique specialty of Lu State in the south of Weiguo. These spiritual wood incense sticks on Song Qingming's body are still Qin Zhen gave it to him when he was in Caolu Mountain.
In the past few years, Qin Zhen has not only become a big customer for buying his spiritual talismans, but has also become close friends with Song Qingming. The two occasionally drink a few glasses of spiritual wine in the Caolu Mountain Inn to talk about hunting. The experience and cultivation of monster beasts. Qin Zhen was also a casual cultivator from Qinghefang. He was smart and liked to make friends. He quickly made a name for himself in Caolu Mountain and became the leader of a group of casual cultivators. , often organized monks to go to Yunwu Mountain to hunt monsters. In this area of Caolu Mountain, few people did not know him.
Relying on his extensive network of contacts, although Qin Zhen is a helpless casual cultivator, he is still doing well near Caolu Mountain. Sometimes he can also act as a middleman to help introduce some business. At the beginning, Song Qingming It was Qin Zhen who introduced Gao Yuyao to buy elixirs. For this reason, Song Qingming also earned a large sum of spiritual stones from him.
For some unknown reason in the past few years, after Song Qingming came back from Fuyun Mountains, he never saw Gao Yuyao coming to Caolu Mountain. For this reason, Song Qingming even asked Qin Zhen several times, but he still couldn't After inquiring about the news, it seemed that Gao Yuyao suddenly disappeared, which made him go to Qinghefang to secretly buy the pills needed for cultivation in the past few years.
Compared with the elixirs provided by Gao Yuyao, it is not only troublesome for Song Qingming to go to Qinghefang to purchase them, but the price is also more expensive. Unfortunately, alchemists are very rare. Song Qingming has been living in Caolu Mountain for six years, and there is no one. I have seen people who can surpass Gao Yuyao in alchemy skills.
In the past few years, Song Qingming has really missed Gao Yuyao, a graceful beauty.
After Song's mother entered the house, she felt very uncomfortable looking at the dust all over the house. After getting Song Qingming's consent, she went outside to recruit a few servants to help clean the small house.
Half a day later, seeing Song Qingming sitting on the cleaned bed, Mother Song nodded with satisfaction and asked the cleaning servants to leave.
"San'er, do you want to stay longer when you go home this time?"
Looking at her mother whose eyes were full of expectation, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel touched, and nodded with a smile. : "The family mission has been completed this time. The child has been able to practice freely for some time. Naturally, he can come back this time. Stay longer, but I don’t have spiritual energy at home and can’t practice. I can’t stay with my mother for a long time. I hope my mother will understand.” , How can he live with us mortals every day, don’t delay his future.”
"You guys have known about immortals all day long. Whether San'er is an immortal or a mortal, they are all my sons. Does cultivating an immortal mean that you don't even need your parents and family?" After hearing Song Dezhang's broken words, Song Mother suddenly felt unhappy.
Seeing his wife suddenly getting angry, Song Dezhang suddenly panicked and quickly opened his mouth to explain.
When Song Qingming saw that his two elders were quarreling over him, he hurriedly came out to smooth things over. He was about to go on a long trip. When he came back this time, he wanted to spend more time with his family. Seeing that Song's mother missed him very much, So he stayed at home patiently for a while.
A month later, Song Qingming said goodbye to his parents and family again, and carefully embarked on his own long road to immortality.
After Song Qingming left, Mother Song, who returned to the backyard, looked at the big iron lock on the door of the small house and sighed with some resentment.
