"Brother, is it true that the ancestor is looking for me in an emergency?"
Hearing that his elder brother Li Xuanfeng asked him to go home first, Li Xuanyi's face became a little ugly. When he saw Li Xuanfeng nodded, he sighed and said: " Brother, can you wait a moment while I return I have some things to explain to fellow Taoist Song, and I will go back with you later."
Li Xuanfeng nodded calmly when he heard this, then gave Song Qingming a meaningful look, then turned around and left the place. The rear port location went over.
When Li Xuanfeng had gone a little further, Li Xuanyi turned around and said calmly to Song Qingming:
"Junior Brother Song, if I have something to do at home, I will not go back to the sect with you. When you see Master and Senior Brother, please remember to say hello to them. I will go see them after a while after I finish my work at home.”
"Well! Please don't worry, senior sister. I will definitely bring the message to you. Things in the homes of cultivators like us are also very important. I believe that master and the others will understand you if they know about it."
See you. Li Xuanyi had something to do at home and wanted to return to the family with his brother first. Song Qingming immediately nodded and agreed without much thought.
Just seeing that the other party seemed a little unhappy, Song Qingming thought Li Xuanyi was worried about things at home, so he couldn't help but comfort her.
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Li Xuanyi squeezed out a smile on his face and said with his hands, "Thank you so much, Junior Brother Song."
"It's just a small effort, senior sister, why do you have to do this? You're so polite, I feel a little embarrassed, junior brother." Seeing Li Xuanyi suddenly being so polite to him, Song Qingming was slightly startled and quickly returned the gesture.
Seeing Song Qingming's unnaturalness, Li Xuanyi didn't pay too much attention and continued to say: "Junior Brother Song, after we say goodbye today, I don't know when we will have the opportunity to meet again.
As we say goodbye, Senior Sister I want to ask you for one more thing. I wonder if Junior Brother Song can help me?”
“Haha! Senior Sister Li, don’t worry. Although Master takes care of me, I don’t have to go back to the mountain to practice according to the rules. Brother, I will definitely come to the sect often when I have time.
And senior sister, if you want He Lingwu and Zhiyan, don’t be so polite to me anymore. You and I are friends of life and death. I have it on my body, so my junior brother will not be stingy.”
Hearing Li Xuanyi suddenly wanted to ask for something from him, Song Qingming suddenly showed a trace of doubt on his face, not knowing whether she was interested in him. What kind of spiritual thing is found in oneself.
After all, the other party was also a fellow senior sister who had saved her life. It was not too much to ask for one or two personal belongings from her. Faced with Li Xuanyi's request, Song Qingming immediately agreed without much hesitation.
What makes Song Qingming a little strange is that when Li Xuanyi just talked to him, his attitude seemed to be that of a different person from usual, very polite and unusual, which made him confused for a while what the other party wanted. thing.
After getting Song Qingming's consent, Li Xuanyi still didn't have much joy on his face. He said directly with his usual expression: "I made a private agreement with Qingyu before I came back this time. I may have to make another agreement then. Go back to find her.
Can you give me the token you gave me last time so that it will be easier for me to go to Funiu Mountain to find Qingyu next time?”
“That’s what you want. This token for entering and exiting the formation?”
Hearing Li Xuanyi say what he wanted, Song Qingming was suddenly surprised. He took out the family elder's token he had put in his storage bag and confirmed with her again with some uncertainty.
The token in Song Qingming's hand can be used to travel alone through the "Funiu Mountain" array of the family's spiritual land by combining specific magic spells. In the Song family, only elders above the foundation level can own it alone.
When the monster beasts were in turmoil last time, because of the emergency, Song Qingming gave Li Xuanyi a piece so that she could take refuge in "Funiu Mountain" when she was away.
Later, after the monster turmoil ended, Li Xuanyi returned the token to Song Qingming, holding it useless, and now when he heard the other party suddenly mentioned the token again, Song Qingming was a little confused. It was taken out.
Seeing the token in Song Qingming's hand, Li Xuanyi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this is what I want. Junior Brother Song, you shouldn't refuse Senior Sister's small request."
When she heard Li Xuanyi asking for spiritual objects before, Song Qingming always thought that what she wanted might be high-level spiritual talismans or magic weapons that could be useful to her.
He was just thinking about it, but he didn't expect that what Li Xuanyi wanted was this inconspicuous family elder token in his hand. Song Qingming couldn't help but be stunned, and he doubted whether Li Xuanyi was still there. Nothing else was said.
Seeing Song Qingming holding the token and looking at him in confusion, Li Xuanyi suddenly squeezed out a smile and said, "Why, is Junior Brother Song really unwilling to give it to me?"
"Senior Sister, what did you say? If you want this thing, Senior Sister, just take it. I just didn't expect that this is what you want, Senior Sister." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he directly sent the token in his hand to Li Xuan In hand.
“I know you must think that what I want will be some precious spiritual object, but I have been following the master for so many years and I have never seen anything good. Junior Brother Song must be looking down on me this time.”
After getting the token he wanted, Li Xuanyi carefully put it away and said something to Song Qingming as usual before turning around and walking towards where Li Xuanfeng was.
"Sister, wait a minute!"
Li Xuanyi had just taken a few steps when he was suddenly stopped by Song Qingming behind him. He turned around with some confusion, only to find that Song Qingming was holding a Holding a jade box and coming to him with a smile on his face.
"Senior Sister Li, this is actually my junior brother who I had prepared to give to you. I wanted to give it to you when I left, but now I have to say goodbye to Senior Sister and I don’t know when I will have the opportunity. When we meet again, why don’t I give it to you here first?”
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he put the jade box in his hand directly into Li Xuanyi’s hand.
What this box contains is a third-grade mid-grade "Dongyuan Pill" that Huang Siyuan refined not long ago.
Because he, Song Qingyu, and Huang Siyuan had already refined a lot of "Dongyuan Pills", and there were still many pills left, Song Qingming took one out to thank Li Xuan Yi had previously helped the Song family during the monster turmoil.
Li Xuanyi's cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Golden Core, and she is not far away from breaking through to the later stage of the Golden Core. With the help of this pill, her cultivation speed will definitely be accelerated a lot, maybe next time she will When people meet her, her cultivation level can catch up with Song Qingming's as expected.
Seeing the jade box given by Song Qingming in his hand, Li Xuanyi's face changed for a while, and he was a little surprised and said: "Junior brother, I thought you regretted it and wanted to take the token back. I didn't expect you to be so sensible now. , I know how to give gifts to senior sister.”
Song Qingming smiled and waved his hand when he heard this: "There is no reason to get back the things I gave away. Senior Sister, just take the token with confidence. From now on, Junior Brother, when do you want to go to Funiu Mountain?" I welcome them all.
"The mountains are high and the roads are far away, so I won't give you many gifts. I hope senior sister will take it seriously!" After saying that, Song Qingming looked seriously and slightly arched his hand to Li Xuanyi.
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite to you anymore. Junior brother, please take care of me!"
After seeing this, Li Xuanyi put away the jade box in his hand and returned the gift. It was a formal farewell.
Then, the two of them turned around and left in different directions.
Li Xuanfeng, who was waiting at the port below, saw Li Xuanyi walking over with a calm expression, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"My things have been done, brother, let's go back first!"
Hearing Li Xuanyi urging him, Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment and then suddenly said: "Xuanyi! Last time The ancestor was already a little angry because you left without saying goodbye.
You have been smart since you were a child, and you know some things even if your elder brother doesn’t tell you. You should be mentally prepared when you go back this time. ”
"Brother! I know that there are some things that cannot be avoided. I just want to go out for a walk because I am in a bad mood. This is what my master has agreed to. Don't worry, ancestor. He won't do anything to me.
You must have been keeping me here for so long, that's probably what he meant. Brother, even if you don't admit it, I can guess it.
< br>
You all are so worried that I won't come back, which really touches me. If I had known earlier, I would have stayed outside longer. Let's see how long you can stay here, brother. "
Hearing this, Li Xuanyi showed a helpless smile to Li Xuanyi who looked a little unhappy on the side. Without saying any more, he directly released his flying boat and took Li Xuanyi to jump with him.
The two quickly turned into a ray of light and left "Bai Li Island" directly.
Li stood on the flying boat. Xuan Yi looked at the island that was gradually disappearing in front of her. She took out the jade box that Song Qingming had just given to her, opened it and took a look at it before slowly putting it away
She had already walked to the middle of the island. Song Qingming saw the light suddenly disappearing in the sky, and stood silent for a moment before turning around and entering a courtyard
As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingming saw an old man in blue who was over fifty years old and with a full beard walking towards him. This man was the monk responsible for guarding "Bai Li Island", who had met Song Qingming more than ten years ago. I’ve also met him once.
Seeing Song Qingming coming to the island, the old man in blue immediately knew his purpose and led him directly into a secret room to the west of the courtyard.
On the second day, Song Qingming followed the old man on a treasure ship to go to sea. It took him more than half a month to finally arrive near "Yuxuan Island".
After the treasure ship entered a place dozens of miles away from "Yuxuan Island", Song Qingming took out some spirit stones and gave them to the old man in blue, then put on his own flying boat and flew to the island.
Song Qingming, who arrived on the island soon, passed through the mountain guard formation and arrived at the "Yanhu Village" that he had not seen for a long time. He saw the mortal villagers who were very familiar to him and were working in the fields.
It has been more than ten years since Song Qingming left last time, and the appearance of the villagers in "Yanhu Village" has changed a lot.
Many of the children who were very young when Song Qingming left have now grown up to adults that he cannot recognize for a while. There are also many elderly people in the village who have passed away and left this world. Song Qingming had just entered the village and was about to go to the sect to report and say hello to his master, "Taoist Lingxu", when a young man in his twenties suddenly ran up to him quickly.
"It's Master Song, it's really you who's back!"
Seeing that the young man in front of him looked familiar, Song Qingming immediately smiled and said: "You are Feng Are your parents okay? ”
This young man was Wang Fengqi, the son of Wang Qin and his wife who were acquainted with Song Qingming back then.
Seeing that Song Qingming recognized him at a glance, Wang Fengqi was also very excited. He nodded quickly and said: "My parents are fine, but my grandma is gone. I didn't expect that it has been so many years. Mr. Song Xian You can still recognize me at a glance.”
For a Jindan monk like Song Qingming, it is just a few times of retreat, but for mortals, it is enough time for them. Half of my life.
Hearing Wang Fengqi say that his grandma is no longer here, another memory of the old man came to Song Qingming's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh that time flies by so fast. "
"Master Immortal, would you like to come and sit at my house later? My father has been talking about your past these years, but he misses you. ”
Hearing Wang Fengqi's invitation, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "Since you are here, you must go and sit down. You should tell your father first, and I will come to find you when I am done here."
"Okay, Immortal Master, I will go back and tell my father!" Seeing Song Qingming's immediate agreement, Wang Fengqi immediately nodded excitedly, then turned and walked quickly to his home.
After bidding farewell to Wang Fengqi, Song Qingming went directly to an ordinary courtyard located to the east of "Yanhu Village" and met his third senior brother Wang Bicheng who was practicing here.
Wang Bicheng, like Zheng Xingyun, is a direct disciple of his master "Lingxu Taoist", and his cultivation level is much higher than that of his fourth brother Zheng Xingyun, and he has reached the fourth level of Nascent Soul.
However, before that, Wang Bicheng basically practiced in the sect and rarely went down the mountain. When Song Qingming came to the "Taixu Sect" for the first time, he had only seen this person at one of his master's sermon conferences. The third senior brother is not very familiar with him.
"I've met Third Senior Brother!" Song Qingming, who was slightly surprised when he saw Wang Bicheng when he entered the door, hurriedly stepped forward to meet him and bowed.
Seeing Song Qingming walking in, Wang Bicheng quickly put down what he was doing, smiled and greeted him to sit down at the stone table aside.
"Junior Brother Qingming, you should be looking for the master when you come back this time! But it's a bit of a coincidence. Ten years ago, the master took the four junior brothers on a trip to Nanlin Prefecture to visit the immortal world. Didn't come back.
If you want to see him, I'm afraid you have to wait until next time." Wang Bicheng, who knew Song Qingming's intention when they met, immediately informed him of his master's absence.
“Master is not at the mountain gate? This is really an unlucky time.”
Hearing that his master, "Taoist Master Lingxu" was out traveling, Song Qingming's face showed some surprise, and then he sighed with regret.
Seeing that Song Qingming was a little disappointed not to see his master, Wang Bicheng showed no surprise on his face, and said with a smile:
"We don’t know when master will come back. If there is anything, junior brother If it's urgent, you can tell me. I'll convey it to you later when Master comes back.
If you're not in a hurry, you can. You can also stay and practice for a while and wait and see. Maybe the master will come back after a while."
"I have nothing urgent. I originally sent Senior Sister Xuanyi back this time, but I was halfway there. She met her brother and went home first. Before leaving, Senior Sister Xuanyi asked me to say hello to Master and Senior Brother on her behalf
Since the master is not here, I will listen to the third senior brother and stay and practice for half a year and wait. If he has not come back by then, I will make other plans! ”
Song Qingming sent Li Xuanyi back this time. He originally wanted to stay for a while to complete his cultivation tasks. When he heard Wang Bicheng’s suggestion, he immediately agreed.
"Hmm! I know about Junior Sister Li. Don’t worry, junior brother, I will help tell Master when the time comes. ”
After sitting down and chatting with his third senior brother Wang Bicheng for a while, Song Qingming followed his arrangement and stayed, preparing to go to other villages tomorrow to complete the cultivation tasks assigned by the master.
The sky was getting dark. Smoke was rising from all over the "Yanhu Village". Song Qingming, who smelled the unique smell of fireworks in the village, got up and said goodbye to Wang Bicheng and went to the home of Wang Qin and his wife in the village
After more than ten years apart, although the appearance of Wang Qin and his wife has not changed much, the smiles on their faces still cannot hide the vicissitudes left by those years.
Seeing Song Qingming, who had helped them back then, the couple were very happy. Not only did they prepare a large table of delicious meals for Song Qingming, but they also called several neighbors to have a drink with him. A few drinks.
Song Qingming did not refuse, and soon blended in with these ordinary mortals, holding up his wine glass and listening to them share the changes in the village over the years.
Although they are ordinary mortals, the villagers of "Yanhu Village" have guarded this pure land for generations and do not have too many worries. Most people are quite satisfied with this peaceful life.
Wang Qin and his wife relied on hard work to help their son Wang Fengqi start a family. A few years ago, they gave birth to a fat grandson. Their daughter also married to a neighboring village last year, and she often comes back to visit them. .
Although the family is a bit dull, they work hard with their own hands, the neighborhood is harmonious without too many conflicts, and the life is also enjoyable.
We had just finished eating and Song Qingming was about to say goodbye and leave. Wang Qin’s wife suddenly walked over to Song Qingming and stopped him holding a three-year-old child in her arms.
"Master Song, my grandson hasn't had a name yet. You happened to be here today. Why don't you help him give him a name? This will save us the trouble of bothering the village gentleman again."
Looking at the boy in Wang Qin's wife's arms, Song Qingming was about to respond, but her eyes suddenly locked on his forehead, with a look of surprise on his face.
Seeing that Song Qingming just stared blankly at the grandson in his arms without responding, Wang Qin's wife was about to give a reminder, but Song Qingming suddenly put a finger on the child's forehead, and then Closed his eyes.
Seeing Song Qingming's unusual behavior, Wang Qin's family immediately gathered around him. When they looked puzzled, Song Qingming quickly retracted his fingers and smiled.
"Master Song, is this child destined to be immortal?"
The people living in "Yanhu Village" are basically the descendants of the "Taixu Sect" monks. They are all high-level monks, and the probability of birthing spiritual roots is much higher than that of ordinary mortal towns outside.
Wang Qin has lived in "Yanhu Village" for so many years, and naturally he has heard about people in the village who are destined to be immortals and are led to practice on the Immortal Mountain.
Seeing Song Qingming's unusual behavior, with a hint of joy on his face, he had already guessed it, so he asked excitedly.
Hearing Wang Qin's inquiry, Song Qingming smiled and nodded: "This child is indeed destined to be immortal, but he is still young. When he is older, he can be sent directly to the mountain to practice."
"Immortal Master, my son is really destined to be immortal, that's great!"
As soon as he heard that his son was destined to be immortal, Wang Fengqi suddenly shouted excitedly and pulled his hand as he spoke. His wife stepped forward and bowed to Song Qingming.
“Thank you, Master Song, for attracting immortality to my son.”
Seeing this, Song Qingming quickly waved his hand and said, “I didn’t invite immortality, it’s the child himself. I just happened to be lucky enough to find out earlier. Don’t get up so quickly.”
"Haha! Master Song, as soon as you came back, you discovered that my grandson is destined to be immortal. After all, you have brought a bit of blessing to my family, and you should be treated as a gift from them."
I knew from Song Qingming's mouth that my grandson was destined to be immortal. Wang Qin's family looked very happy to be able to become an immortal master like Song Qingming in the future.
Only Wang Qin's wife did not have a smile on her face at this moment. She looked at her grandson in her arms with some reluctance, as if she was unwilling for him to leave home alone in the future to practice in the mountains.
Seeing the reluctance in Wang Qin's wife's eyes, Song Qingming suddenly thought of his mother when she left home, and in the end it seemed that she was also reluctant to send him out.
There are hundreds of millions of mortals in the world of cultivating immortals who don’t want to have a bit of immortality with themselves or their relatives and descendants. However, after cultivation, immortals and mortals are different. If you want to cultivate better, you must try to let go of your ties to mortal relatives. These Not everyone can face it calmly.
After thinking of a name for this destined child, Song Qingming stood up and said goodbye to Wang Qin, returning to the small courtyard where he had lived.
Early on the next morning, Song Qingming left "Yanhu Village" and went to practice in another mortal village arranged by his third senior brother Wang Bicheng.
This stay lasted for more than a year. It was not until Song Qingming felt that his entry into the world and practice this time was very complete that he took the initiative to say goodbye to his senior brother Wang Bicheng and left "Yuxuan Island".
After being on the island for more than a year, his master "Taoist Lingxu" has not returned. Song Qingming has not seen his senior sister Li Xuanyi come here. Instead, he has met several people who came to the island like him. Senior brothers who have entered the world and practiced spiritual practice.
These people are at the same level as Song Qingming, and they are all monks who have successfully formed elixirs.
It's just that after they practiced the "Jade Mysterious Sutra", the techniques they learned were inferior to Song Qingming's "Jade Treasure Refining Art", and they were basically still in the golden elixir realm. (End of this chapter)
