Journey To Longevity

Zhang Shiping stepped on the Qingling ancient boat, turned into a streamer, and rushed towards Zhengyangzong. He didn't know if there was anything to do with the Zongmen. After all, he had been away for more than a month, and his fourth brother's wedding was coming soon. , he should be almost certain, he thought while flying.

The road is long, the Qingling ancient boat passes through Zhengyangzong, passes through Yekun Mountain, and heads towards Baiyuan Mountain. After entering the Zhengyang Sect, Zhang Shiping took out his inner disciple token, but there was no notification on it, Zhang Shiping flew towards his own cave, and after entering the cave, there were three sound transmission symbols in the formation.

Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand to fetch three sound transmission symbols. The first one was his uncle Chen Wenguang's leaving message after accepting the mission of the sect. It was mostly words of concern. After reading it, Zhang Shiping smiled and put away the sound transmission symbols.

The other two sound transmission talismans were left by Chen Qi and Su Shuang. Seeing that Zhang Shiping hadn't returned to the cave, they left the sound transmission talismans and left first.

By the way, Zhang Shiping called together several managers in Yekunshan to inquire about the current situation in Yekunshan and nearby first-order Lingshan, plains, etc.

There are also a few places in Kunshan where the spiritual energy is relatively abundant. In order not to waste it, Zhang Shiping planted various spiritual fruits in those places, but it is only a few years now, and there is still a long time before the harvest, but Zhang Shiping does not Don't worry, he has plenty of time to wait.

Generally speaking, it takes some time for a fruit tree to become a first-order tree, no matter how good the variety is. It does not mean that a first-order fruit tree will grow into a first-order spiritual tree after being transplanted or first-order seeds are planted and germinated. It will take some time. To accumulate spiritual energy, so as to bear the spiritual fruit that nourishes the spirit and body. Zhang Shiping planted different numbers of spiritual trees in three places with abundant spiritual energy in Yekun Mountain. There are a total of twenty-seven trees in total, which are already as tall as one person.

On the first-order Lingshan, the tea trees that planted the entire mountain have already begun to produce, but because Zhang Shiping left the sect and used Youhuosha to retreat to practice "Fire Crow Jue", all the tea trees in Kunshan Everything was temporarily taken over by the Zongmen, so the tea harvest in the past few years belonged to the Zongmen, and Zhang Shiping didn't drink any soup.

However, perhaps for compensation reasons, these stewards in Kunshan also benefited a lot, and they received a few more Lingshi every month.

During that time, the monthly spiritual stones of the four stewards were in charge of the sect, and Zhang Shiping did not benefit from the Lingshan, so naturally he did not need to pay the four stewards with spiritual stones.

Finally, there are good paddy fields in the plain area. In a month or two, most of the spiritual rice fields will start to be harvested. According to the current growth of the spiritual rice fields, the manager of the Zhang family who manages the spiritual rice fields estimates that the harvest will be several percent higher than before. , the steward said to Zhang Shiping in every detail.

Zhang Shiping, who finally heard the good news, managed to smile a little. He also knew that he had just returned to the Zongmen, and his life was a bit stretched and dry. It was not the problem of these few managers. After Zhang Shiping finished listening, he left some spirit stones to replace the spirit stones worn out by the array in the three orchards.

Zhang Shiping visited Su Shuang's Moyun Mountain and his own Chen Qi's Qingluan Peak, talked with them for a while, and talked about his own experience in cultivating Taoism. Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

After leaving Chen Qi Qingluan Mountain, Zhang Shiping drove the flying boat towards White Ape Mountain.

...

A few days later, two blue rainbows landed on Little Ape Mountain, Zhang Shiping put away the flying boat, and returned home with his father Zhang Tongan. When Zhang Shiping came back from Zhengyangzong Yuqi, he happened to meet Zhang Tongan who had just returned from Baiyuan Mountain, and the two came back together.

At the foot of Xiaoyuan Mountain, the big mansion is still the same, but there are more laughter and laughter. An elegantly dressed woman, although she doesn't look too old, but no matter how well-maintained her skin is, it won't last as long as time flies. , There are also some fine lines in the corners of the eyes and forehead.

Beside her was a woman in her twenties who was holding a baby wearing a long-lived silver lock, babbling, she looked like she was only ten months old, she only had one immature tooth when she smiled, and she didn’t know how to speak. Talking, has been struggling, extremely restless, do not know what to want.

Zhang Tongan led Zhang Shiping in, but Zhang's mother did not show a happy expression when she saw Zhang Shiping. Instead, her eyes were red, and she said coldly to Zhang Shiping, "Are you willing to come back? Have you forgotten how to go home?" .”

Seeing his mother's red eyes, Zhang Shiping felt sore. Since he joined Zhengyang Sect, he really didn't come back many times in the past ten years, and each time was only for a few days. Although now that he has built his foundation, the flying speed of the driving device is much faster than during the Qi training period, and it only takes a few days to go back and forth between Zhengyangzong and Baiyuanshan, but he is a disciple of Zhengyangzong after all, how can he be said to be a permanent resident? at home?

If the Zhang Family of Baiyuan Mountain directly joined the Zhengyang Sect and became a family under the sect, it would still make sense. There are many foundation-establishing families in the sect, and this is how they slowly joined the Zhengyang Sect.

But Zhang Shiping didn't want to do this, the family was merged into the sect, there were pros and cons, he didn't want to coerce the family into the sect.

"I'm not coming back now." Zhang Shiping said with a guilty smile,

He saw a restrained woman standing on the side, and nodded to her, "Shi Ping met the second sister-in-law, did the child have a name?" Zhang Shiping teased the child.

"I've seen the senior, but the child has no name yet, so I took a nickname, and it's called Yi'er." Zhang Shiping's second sister-in-law is an immortal cultivator in the qi training period, but only on the second level of qi training. When she saw Zhang Shiping, a monk in the foundation building period, she whispered Replied.

"Second sister-in-law, we are all in the same family, so there is no need to be so polite." Zhang Shiping smiled, he gathered his spiritual energy, exuded a gentle breath, and said to his little nephew, "Come on, give third uncle a hug." The child was not sensible yet, and had never met Zhang Shiping, but he didn't feel any malice, and the aura gathered by Zhang Shiping's spells kept attracting him, so the child opened his hands happily.

"Come on, good boy." Zhang Shiping hugged his little nephew, while slowly nurturing him with his own mana, while hugging him in front of Zhang's mother, "Little Pig said grandma don't be angry, don't be angry."

Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Shiping angrily, and took the child from his hands, "I'll hold it, see you have thick hands and feet, what if you hurt your son."

Seeing that his mother was no longer angry, Zhang Shiping also heaved a sigh of relief. The whole family was laughing and laughing. The servants in the mansion had already been mobilized under the arrangement of the steward to prepare a banquet to clean up Zhang Shiping.

The sun was turning very fast in the sky, and when the family was chatting, laughing and chatting, the sky gradually darkened, and the lanterns in the mansion were hung high, their brilliance flickering.

After the banquet, when the family was talking about their children, Zhang's mother seemed to have endless things to say. Zhang Tong'an and Zhang Shiping listened to each other, replying "hmmmmmmm" from time to time.

While talking, Zhang's mother became tired and began to feel drowsy. Zhang Shiping persuaded her to go to bed early, and then she stopped.

After Zhang Shiping retreated, he returned to the room, waved away the left and right maidservants, and meditated alone on the futon in the room, breathing out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At night, the wind is blowing, the leaves are rustling, the insects are neighing, the mountains are in the distance, there are thousands of shadows, thin clouds are floating, and the moonlight is blue and bright.

It wasn't until the light rose from the sky, and the gray-blue clouds were dyed with golden brilliance, that everything returned to silence.

The alternation of day and night is the loneliest moment in the world. Zhang Shiping slowly absorbed the spiritual energy, and after refining it, he stopped and stood up, "Come in."

Several maidservants who had been waiting in the corridor outside the door came in one by one, carrying pots, bowls and other utensils, and came in one by one. These are the servants of the mansion, serving the daily life of the master of the mansion.

After Zhang Shiping finished grooming, he straightened his arms and let the maidservant move on her body, cut her hair, straighten her skirt, tie her belt...

Finally, Zhang Shiping, wearing a black satin gown, stepped out of the door, walked a few steps, and suddenly a blue folding fan appeared in his hand, his figure changed, and he walked into the yard very quickly.
