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. At the same time, 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 and walked out. After leaving the cave, we 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 hadn't 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. He is already three years old and has long been accustomed to running around in the courtyard of the Song family. On this day, he came to a building on the west side of the backyard. Outside the ordinary hut, 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 servant of the Song family not far away ran over in a hurry and said, Carry Song Yunshan away from this place.
"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 you, they will beat me to death."
This guy kept talking about it, but he didn't expect that it all fell into the ears of Song Qingming, who had just walked into the Song family. Now that Song Qingming's cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi refining, he is already smarter than ordinary people. Everything within a hundred steps can be detected. It was already difficult to escape his 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. The fourth brother who is 2 years old 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 journey next, and it will probably take a few years before I come back. I don't think I will be able to stay with my parents in the future. Not too much.
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 always obeyed his words over the years. He had been honest for most of his life, and he felt very sad. Understand that without Song Qingming's care, the Song family would never have such a good life today.
There was a "squeaking" 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. After 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 with 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. His father still kept his words. Keeping it in mind, no one else has entered his small house in the past few years, and the furnishings in the house are 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 that some blind thief would accidentally break in. here.
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. .
Seeing the dirty look everywhere in the house and the pungent musty smell, everyone couldn't help but frowned. It wasn't until Song Qingming lit a stream of fragrant wood in the house, and a burst of fragrant spiritual energy slowly blended into the house, that everyone I feel 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 during practice can help you enter the cultivation state faster. Whether you are a monk or a mortal, you will smell this spiritual incense. Make your mood comfortable.
However, although this kind of spiritual object is not of high value, it is rare in the Wei Kingdom. It is a unique specialty of the Lu State in the south of the Wei Kingdom. The few spiritual wood incense sticks on Song Qingming's body were from the Qin Dynasty when he was in Caolu Mountain. Zhen gave it to him.
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 exchange experiences and practices in hunting monsters. Feel it.
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 was a helpless casual cultivator, he was still doing well near Caolu Mountain. Sometimes he could also act as a middleman to help introduce some business. When Song Qingming approached Gao Yuyao to buy pills, Qin Zhen was the introducer, for which Song Qingming also earned a large amount of spiritual stones.
For some unknown reason in the past few years, Gao Yuyao has never been seen in Caolu Mountain after Song Qingming came back from Fuyun Mountain Range. For this reason, Song Qingming even asked Qin Zhen several times, but in the end he still couldn't find out any news. Gao Yuyao Yao seemed to have disappeared suddenly, which made him go to Qinghefang to secretly buy the pills needed for cultivation in recent years.
Compared with the elixirs provided by Gao Yuyao, Song Qingming's purchase from Qinghefang was not only troublesome, but also more expensive. Unfortunately, alchemists were very rare. Song Qingming had been living in Caolu Mountain for six years, and he had never seen anyone whose alchemy skills could surpass those of Gao Yuyao. Gao Yuyao's.
In recent 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, Song's mother nodded with satisfaction and asked the cleaning servants to leave.
"San'er, when you go home this time, do you want to stay longer?"
Looking at his mother whose eyes were full of expectation, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel touched. She nodded with a smile and said: "This time I have completed the family mission, and the child has been able to practice freely for some time. Naturally, I can stay longer when I come back this time." "It's just that 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."
After hearing this, Song Dezhang quickly said to Song's mother: "San'er is now an immortal. 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 a little displeased.
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 about to quarrel over him, he quickly 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, he patiently stayed at home for more time. It took some time.
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.
