Collect crowd into immortals

Chapter 129
In the evening, when Chen Changping returned to the house specially prepared for them by his family, he found that the lights were brightly lit and his wife was already at home.

"Come back so early? Didn't you hang out with that girl Chang Hui?"

When Jian Lingyu heard the words, she glanced at him inexplicably, pursed her lips, and said after a long while: "Turning around! I just finished my meal in the cafeteria and came back."

"That's it, that's okay!"

But just after he finished speaking, Chen Changping noticed something was wrong with his wife's situation, he hesitated. Seeing this, he hurriedly asked concerned: "What's wrong? Your expression is not right? Did Chang Hui bully you? I'll go talk to her."

After speaking, he moved slightly, ready to act.

Seeing him like this, Jian Lingyu immediately reached out to stop him:

"No, no! We get along very well! You didn't see it. We visited your school together before, saw the seat you sat in back then, and went to the back mountain and various courtyards. Everything is fine!"

After finishing speaking, seeing that her husband didn't believe her, she added: "That's right, I just feel that she treats me a little bit. Some are too polite!"

"You're too polite? It's okay! It's the first time you two have met. Once you get to know each other later, it will be fine!"

Seeing that nothing happened to his aunt and sister-in-law, Chen Changping no longer worried.

You're welcome, it's really nothing!
Jian Lingyu pursed her lips when she heard the words, as if she wanted to say something but didn't say it.

As the person involved, she clearly felt that her younger sister Chang Hui's attitude towards her was definitely not as simple as her birthright.This feeling is as if the other party does not regard himself as a family member or a relative, but as a guest who is quite far away.

There is an inexplicable feeling of alienation.

However, this may be an illusion!

After all, the two did meet for the first time.Unfamiliarity seems to be taken for granted!

Jian Lingyu comforted herself.

But in a short while, she swept away these bad emotions, stretched out her right hand, opened her sleeves, and turned around in front of her husband several times.

"Dangdang, see what this is?"

After finishing speaking, before her husband could respond, Jian Lingyu asked and answered by herself, "This is what my mother gave me, and she said it was a token she prepared for her daughter-in-law. It's comfortable and warm to wear!"

As she spoke, she channeled the mana in her body and activated the bracelet on her hand.

Suddenly, a layer of light shrouded her in it.

Seeing this, Jian Lingyu was even more happy.

Although this thin protective cover is no longer of much use to her who has been promoted to Foundation Establishment, it is just a toy, but Jian Lingyu is still very happy.

Because this is not just as simple as a high-grade magic weapon, it represents the approval of the mother-in-law.

Recognize her as a daughter-in-law.

For Jian Lingyu, who had just arrived, this was more effective than anything else.

After all, she and her husband had been married for more than 20 years, and they had just met her parents-in-law for the first time.Before coming, she thought there would be some trouble, but she didn't expect that the two old people were surprisingly easy to talk to.

Especially the mother-in-law, who is very kind to her.

Not only personally introduced the elders of the family to her, but also told everyone that her daughter-in-law was beautiful and virtuous, and even gave her a token, which made Jian Lingyu very happy, and almost lost her way.

As for her father-in-law's attitude when they first met, Jian Lingyu naturally knew that it was all directed at the unfilial son in front of her. The old man still recognized her as his daughter-in-law.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party has been watching her laughing and laughing with her mother-in-law.

But contrary to her happy expression, the moment Chen Changping saw the white jade bracelet, a tinge of resentment suddenly emerged in his heart.

Because does he know that this white jade bracelet is not a token prepared by his mother for his daughter-in-law at all, the real token should be a pair of white jade lions.

I still remember that back then, he and his mother personally visited the master of the previous generation of Artifact Refining Pavilion, Grandpa Chen Wanxiong, who had not passed away, and watched him carve it bit by bit.

And if I remember correctly, the white jade lion is a pair of rare magic weapons. Each piece is a top-grade magic weapon. When combined, the power is even more amazing, and can even reach the level of a top-grade magic weapon.

The ultimate magic weapon, it is a treasure that ordinary casual practitioners can't find, and how can it be compared with the current white jade bracelet.

Just when Chen Changping was going to ask his mother himself to see if there was something dissatisfied with her old man, that's why he didn't want to admit to his daughter-in-law, suddenly, he paused and froze in place.

Because he suddenly remembered that his pair of white jade lions seemed to have been given away by him.

And he himself seemed to have accepted the other party's gift in return.

An equally rare mirror-like magic weapon-Yin Yang soul-stirring mirror.

Thinking of this, Chen Changping hastily probed into the storage bag with his spiritual sense, and with just one glance, he saw the mirror hidden in the deepest part of the storage bag that helped him survive many disasters.

For a moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

When he received this mirror, he never imagined that he would end up betraying the owner of this mirror, and it was only with the help of it that he found his current partner alive and was treated differently by his partner.

This has to be said, good luck tricks people!
Thinking of this, Chen Changping sighed.

"what happened?"

However, his behavior of sighing for no reason made his wife Jian Lingyu puzzled.

Isn't this talking about the family keepsake given by your mother? Why did you suddenly sigh again?

Could it be that something is hiding from me?
In response, Chen Changping did not answer directly. Instead, he squinted his eyes and thought for a while before tentatively saying: "Yu'er, I have to go to Rainbow Island tomorrow. What do you think this is?"

"Rainbow Island?"

Hearing this familiar place name, Jian Lingyu's heart suddenly trembled.

Of course, she has heard of Rainbow Island. Isn't this the territory of the Li family among the five clans in the Southern Region?

It's just that unlike several other islands, this Rainbow Island is very special, because if Jian Lingyu remembers correctly, her good husband's original marriage partner came from the Li family of this Rainbow Island.

Before coming, she could inquire about everything clearly.

Now, her husband wants to go to that sensitive place, which makes Jian Lingyu feel relieved.

What are you doing there?Are you going to meet your old lover?Or plan to rekindle old feelings?

Jian Lingyu felt worried when she thought of this possibility.In order to be with him, I had ignored the pursuit of many young talents before being with him. But in just a few years, the guy in front of me was about to abandon me?
For a while, Jian Lingyu was speechless, and mist appeared in her eyes.

She had even planned to go back to her father to smash the Rainbow Island into pieces and completely erase it from the world of cultivation.

Chen Changping, who is her husband, naturally noticed her expression like this.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Chen Changping quickly explained: "Don't think too much, I just want to make things clear to her. I already have you, it is impossible to fall in love with someone else, so don't worry!"

"Really?"

Hearing her husband's promise, Jian Lingyu's foggy eyes once again shone with hope.

Seeing her like this, Chen Changping felt a pain in his heart, and quickly said firmly: "Of course! How could I lie to you!"

When Jian Lingyu heard the words, she felt a little more at ease.

The two have been sleeping together for more than twenty years, and she can be sure that the other person is not that kind of person at all.

Otherwise, she would not have identified the other party alone.

Just thinking of her husband's appearance just now, Jian Lingyu suddenly thought of a possibility, and saw her raise her right hand again, revealing the white jade bracelet on her wrist, with a soft tone.

"Then this white jade bracelet?"

"This bracelet...then what..."

Seeing that his wife was so smart, Chen Changping knew that he could no longer hide it, so he directly confessed: "Do you still remember my yin and yang mirror?"

"Remember! At the beginning, you relied on it to be the first among the guards and was promoted to the team leader. Also, remember when we first met, you also relied on it to become the leader of the group. The villain who coveted this magic weapon escaped with his life. Then he met my brother and me."

As he said this, Jian Lingyu suddenly raised his eyebrows, understanding clearly in his heart, but still confused: "Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Seeing his wife's calm face, Chen Changping took a deep breath and continued to explain: "Actually, that magic weapon is not mine!"

"It's not yours? Could it be someone else gave it?"

At the moment of questioning, Jian Lingyu was no longer lucky, it really belonged to that person, no wonder you were so precious back then, you didn't let me see it.snort!

"Ok!"

But after hearing her husband's answer, inexplicably, Jian Lingyu suddenly let go of the tension in her heart.

She knew it must be the case.

After taking a long breath, Jian Lingyu continued to ask: "Then what did you give her?"

"A pair of white jade lions, like this white jade bracelet, are both top-grade magic weapons. Almost the same!"

Chen Changping's repeated emphasis made his wife smile.

You are my three-year-old child.Can a pair of instruments be compared with one?

Is this comparable?

I gave you a high-grade magic weapon, but you gave me another pair to try?
But although she felt uncomfortable, Jian Lingyu didn't bother her too much. After all, she and her husband met late, so it was normal for this to happen.

After taking a breath, she showed off the white jade bracelet on her hand and asked, "So, this is not your daughter-in-law's token at all? Your token has been given away a long time ago?"

"Uh!"

Chen Changping didn't expect his wife to be so direct. After dilly-dallying for a long time, he still said bravely: "This should be the same! Our family has more tokens! Well, more!"

After all, the other piece is no longer in my mother’s hands!

Even if mother wants to give it away, she has nothing to give it away!So I can only take this instead!
Of course, Chen Changping didn't say the last sentence, but the meaning has already been expressed.

But to this, Jian Lingyu suddenly replied firmly: "What should it be? I think it is! I declare that from now on, this white jade bracelet is our family's keepsake and family heirloom. As for the pair of white jade bracelets Lion, it's nothing! But you really should return other people's things. lest someone say you owe something and don't pay back!"

Seeing his wife pouting and stubbornly holding back tears, Chen Changping quickly held his wife tightly in his arms.

At this moment.

The two couples in the room quietly enjoyed the rare peace and warmth.

After a long time, Jian Lingyu held her head up again, and said with concern: "By the way, have you asked the third brother, your father, no, it's our father, what happened to our father's cultivation base? Why did he suddenly become so It's on, and there's only the fourth level of Qi training?"

Before coming here, she knew that although her husband's family, the Lianhu Island Chen family, is not a big family, not as good as their Jian family, or even the six major forces in the Thousand Sand Islands, it can still be regarded as one of the best in the cultivation world. A rare family that develops peacefully and values ​​the clansmen.

At least, every monk in the Chen family can enjoy the support of free spirit pills, food, and land in the family. Based on this, basically every member of the Chen family can live in their 30s. At this time, the Qi training stage will be completed.

At the latest, this age limit generally does not exceed 50 years old.

And father-in-law Chen Guyong is now more than 100 years old, obviously far beyond this age limit.

Not to mention, when she first discovered the problem, Jian Lingyu had secretly used her divine sense in the foundation-building stage to investigate. Her father-in-law’s divine sense was indeed much stronger than the average Qi-training perfection, and even compared to those who had just broken through the early foundation-building stage. The new monks are not much different.

Naturally, this was a feature that had once attacked the foundation establishment and had reached the fourth step.

Therefore, there is definitely something wrong with the father-in-law’s cultivation.

Before, Jian Lingyu thought that her father-in-law was hiding his cultivation, but after several identifications by the seventh uncle who had already completed his foundation, they suddenly discovered that his father-in-law's cultivation was indeed only so much.

This is by no means simple.

That's why her husband, Chen Changping, immediately sought out insiders for details as soon as the banquet was over.

But for this, Chen Changping was silent for a while, thinking about what the third brother said in his mind, and thinking about the verification of the fifth uncle, he sighed helplessly. "Third brother, they said, my father, our father sees that time is running out, so he wants to take advantage of the last time to do another big thing for the family and improve the family's skills.

Afterwards, just after the beginning of the cultivation technique, our father encountered many backlashes, and his cultivation level continued to decrease, even down to the current level, which can reach the middle stage of Qi training.

Fortunately, the family found out in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous! "

"Improve the exercises?"

"Ok!"

Jian Lingyu was quite surprised.

As a member of the Jindan family, she naturally knows that none of the cultivation methods that are circulated in the market are actually good ones.

Apart from being able to practice, there are no other additional effects at all.

For example, to increase the chance of breaking through foundation building, to increase the mana by [-]-[-]% compared to normal monks, to have supernatural powers and secret techniques, etc., none of these!
Even the speed of cultivation is not as good as the techniques passed down by those great sects.

Take their Jian family as an example, the family's core inheritance "Spiritual Water Scripture" is a true scripture with its own control of the secret technique of spiritual water.

This technique is not only practiced [-] to [-]% faster than the ordinary "Hunyuan Jue" and other techniques, but the secret techniques attached to the technique can also be used to produce various spiritual waters.

Through these spiritual waters, the sons of their Jian family will also receive various benefits.

Some can improve the efficiency of refining medicinal materials, some can improve the success rate and quality of alchemy refining equipment, and there are even some that can directly improve the combat effectiveness of monks...

In short, compared to other casual cultivators and family members, as long as the members of the Jian family have practiced the "Spiritual Water Manual", they can be much higher than others from the starting point.

If things go on like this, how could the Jian family not be at the forefront of all the families and sects?
Of course, Jian Lingyu also knew that other families had opportunities to surpass them.

Heavenly Demon Battlefield, Adventures in Secret Realm, Occasionally Obtaining the Inheritance of Senior Experts, Joining Sects, Joining Other Families, etc. These are all ways to obtain high-grade exercises.

However, some of these need to rely on chance, some need to rely on strength, and some even have to sell their freedom and soul, so compared to the general public, they are not good choices.

So in fact, in addition to the above, there is another one, that is, the family is very lucky to have a talented son of heaven, and this genius is also very good at understanding, especially good at creating and improving, directly spending a lot of effort to transfer the family's achievements The method has been improved to a level close to or even the same as that of high-grade exercises.

thus passed on.

In this way, this family is separated from ordinary families and has the inheritance of high-level skills.

And this is actually the main source of those advanced exercises in the cultivation world.

But as we all know, it is too difficult for the proud son of heaven to come out. The Canglan sea area spans millions of miles, and there may not be a few born in a year, so for most ordinary monks, they simply cannot bet on this small probability event. We can only choose to take the other path, which is to accumulate, upgrade and improve through a large amount of manpower and material resources and through a large amount of time from generation to generation.

In this way, although it is not as easy as the proud son of heaven, as long as he moves forward steadily and persists, he will surely succeed.

But the time required is too much, hundreds of thousands of years, maybe even more.

Therefore, although it is indeed an effective and feasible method to improve the exercises like the Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains, for most families and forces, it is not close to nothing.

At least, as far as she, Jian Lingyu, knew, among the thousands of family forces in the Finch Islands, one would pop up every few years and want to attack, but usually within a few years, their flags and drums would die down, and no more splashes would be heard.

Just gave up!
There is no way, not everyone can endure a long period of no income, and it is hundreds of thousands of years.

So now you can imagine Jian Lingyu's shock when she heard that her husband's family was also executing this plan that others regarded as heavenly, and that the executor was still her father-in-law.

In addition to being shocked, all kinds of guesses surged in her heart.

Don't they know the difficulty of that project?

Or are they ready and ready to stick to it?
Or, they just want to give it a try, and have no intention of investing in it for a long time?
That's right, Jian Lingyu is not optimistic about her father-in-law's plan to improve their skills.

There is no way, how could He De, the Chen family of Lianhu Island, be able to do things that tens of millions of families in the cultivation world could not do?
Even if the executor is her own father-in-law or in-laws, she Jian Lingyu doesn't believe it.

Didn't you see that the father-in-law's cultivation base backfired and his lifespan was greatly reduced in order to improve his skills?
Seeing this scene, can the other Chen clan members bear it?Willing to keep giving?
Even if they are willing, how can they guarantee that their descendants will also be willing?
After all, to put it bluntly, cultivation is for longevity, for living forever.Now you ask others to sacrifice their lives, how many people are willing to pay for the future that can no longer be seen?
In this way, as long as someone has a different idea and refuses to accept it, then this plan can only be shelved.

Although she didn't agree with her in her heart, Jian Lingyu said positively on her face: "Since this is the case, then you don't have to be sad! If your father-in-law has such ambitions, as children, we should support you and be honored. yes!"

"Yes! That's all it can do!"

Chen Changping sighed.

If he was at home at that time, he could have stopped it, but now that this is the case, what can he do?
That's all!
……

The next day, early in the morning.Chen Changping said goodbye to his wife and drove his spiritual boat straight to the south of the island.

After about a stick of incense, he drove a boat to Rainbow Island, which was [-] miles away.

When he came to the shore and saw the large formation on duty, Chen Changping just called "cousin" and was shouted back.

"Who are you? There is no uncle here. Don't mistake your relatives!"

When Chen Changping heard this, his mind burst into sweat.

As a monk, who doesn't have the ability to remember, not to mention that when he left, his face was almost the same as now, and he would never fail to recognize him, so it must be that my uncle didn't want to see me.

However, Chen Changping also knew that he did something wrong, so he didn't care, and continued to explain: "Cousin, I am Changping! You have forgotten that when Jiayue and I met, you always helped to connect people. Yes. You won’t really forget, will you?”

"Of course I haven't forgotten it! But wasn't that evil spirit dead a long time ago? Why did he suddenly come back to life? You can't lie, can you?
I said young people, you wouldn't find a better identity to pretend to be, why pretend to be a dead person? "

Uncle Li Jingde supported his gray beard, and covered Chen Changping up and down a lot, as if to confirm whether he was his betrayed nephew.

But hearing his words, Chen Changping was a little dumbfounded.

dead?

How many times has this happened, first Uncle Eleven, then Grandpa Fifth, and Uncle Sixteen, why do they all say that they are dead?Didn't he just do something wrong?Is it necessary to curse him like that?

He has been Foundation Establishment for so many years, yet he has not been humiliated like this in person.

However, thinking that he was really at fault, and that the person opposite him was his elder who had helped him, Chen Changping could only smile wryly and follow the other person's words and reply: "My cousin doesn't know. Came alive. Not pretending!"

"Isn't it pretending? You came back alive? I said that since you're dead, you're dead. Why did you come back alive? You still have the face to come back to life? How dare you? Why did you tell Jiayue back then that you would never let her down?" , The result? I ran away to have fun, became a door-to-door son-in-law, climbed a high branch, and left us Jiayue at home. Staying alone in an empty room, you think you still have the nerve to live? Do you have any face?"

"Uh……"

The old man's rants made Chen Changping so depressed that he couldn't speak.

There is no way, who makes him unreasonable, there is no way to refute!

After a while, the old man was about to say more, when he saw a stream of light galloping from afar.

After landing, a dignified and gentle woman appeared in the streamer.

Seeing the woman, before Chen Changping had any reaction, his uncle Li Jingde, who had been scolding just now, immediately stopped the niece who was about to come forward, "Jiayue, why are you here? This kid is a heartless man, you can Don't trust him anymore. He hasn't said a word of truth."

"Uncle Sixteen, don't worry! Jiayue is awake!"

After finishing speaking, Li Jiayue looked at the haunted figure on the spirit boat on the shore, but her mood was unusually calm.

More than 50 years have passed, and it is indeed time to end.

After thinking about it, she looked at the other party calmly, and waved, "Since you're here, come up! Don't let people in the outer sea say that our Li family doesn't understand etiquette."

After that, she turned and left.

Seeing this, Sixteenth Uncle Li Jingde didn't stop him anymore, but with a wave of his sleeve, he opened a path leading directly to Chen Changping.

……

Soon after, the couple, who had not seen each other for a long time, arrived at the top of a mountain.

mountain top.

The sea breeze blew their clothes around, but there was never any contact.

Just like the fate between the two, it was suddenly cut off more than 30 years ago, and there is no possibility of any intersection.

After a long, long time, Chen Changping turned his head to look at the person buried in his heart, and sighed: "Are you okay now!"

"It's okay! I practice elixirs every day, grow flowers and plants, and sometimes play with children. Everything is exactly as I imagined!"

While speaking, Li Jiayue didn't turn her head, she stared blankly at the sunrise in the sky.

At this time, the sun rises in the east, dispelling the darkness shrouding the earth, but also bringing hope of life.

Li Jiayue's words made Chen Changping feel uncomfortable.

Alchemy, tending flowers and plants, and raising children are indeed the dreams that the woman next to me once told her, but what the other party once said was to grow flowers and plants together and raise their own children together!

Today, the other party's dream seems to have been realized, but it has not been realized.

Not only is one person missing, but the child he teases is not his own.

This is all caused by myself!

For a moment, Chen Changping felt sad.With tears in his eyes, he really wanted to say sorry, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

What's the use of being sorry, what he was delaying was the other party's life!

"That……"

Just when he didn't know how to make up for it, he saw the beautiful lady beside him continue to ask: "How about you, how are you doing? How are you and that Miss Jian?"

"Fortunately!"

At this moment, even though Chen Changping had thousands of words, he could only reduce them into these two short words.

"It's okay! That's good!"

Li Jiayue's answer was still so calm, without any hint of happiness or anger.

But after saying this, the top of the mountain fell into silence again, leaving only the sea breeze blowing.

The sea breeze is still there, and the waves are roaring!
Everything is just like the beginning, but it seems like it will never be the same again!

I still remember that back then, the two talked about everything and were inseparable. Even if they just looked at each other all day long, they could feel sincere happiness and happiness.

But who would have thought that now that the two are standing together, they can only face the sea, relatively speechless.

After a long while, Li Jiayue thought of something, took a deep breath, and took out a pair of palm-sized white jade lions from the storage bag.

After taking another deep look, she turned her head and handed it to the original owner.

"This is your thing, and now it is returned to its original owner. It is also time for it to go to the right person!"

Seeing the white jade lion and the goal of this trip, Chen Changping didn't feel any joy on his face, but was directly stunned.He didn't know whether he should take it or not.

After all, he knew without thinking that once he took it, the woman beside him would have nothing to do with him anymore.

Even the past events between them will disappear completely like clouds in the sky.
