The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

"Senior, what do you want?"

When he came to Lingyin Peak, he followed his previous memories and found the way up the mountain. He found that the place was covered by a large formation. He touched the formation lightly, hoping that the people inside could sense it and open the formation.

Originally, he had expected that the people who came out to greet him should be his parents, but he didn't expect that they were not, but a pair of older male and female monks. Judging from the way they cuddled each other, they should be a Taoist couple. Just now The person asking the question was a male cultivator.

"I am Xu Zhiyu of the Xu family. I have something to do today, so I came here to visit Daoyou Xu and his wife. Please let me know!"

Upon hearing this, the couple's faces were immediately filled with smiles, and they said repeatedly:

"Then there is no need to pass the call. Senior, please come in quickly. My master has told me that as long as there are monks from the Xu family visiting, no matter what their cultivation level is, they can be invited directly to the guest room to serve tea."

After saying that, he opened the formation and made way for the left and right. The female cultivator led the way, and the male cultivator was half a body behind to accompany him.

As I walked and looked around, I found that this place was not much different from when the Xu family was undeveloped. It still looked like it was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The peaks of the mountains towered into the clouds, the mountains were rugged with strange rocks, and the mountain streams flowed all the time. Even the path leading to the mountain seemed to have been opened recently, and it was quite uneven and a bit soft.

"When was this road opened?" Xu Zhiyu asked casually as there was not much scenery to see along the way, and he was a little bored.

"Senior, these were recently opened by the little old couple. They have only made a rough outline for the time being. When they are free, they will be flattened again."

In this way, while asking and answering questions, the three of them soon arrived at the halfway point of the mountain. At first glance, there were only cliffs and broken walls, and there was nothing else. However, they followed the old couple for a while and only discovered after getting closer. , on the edge of the cliff here, a narrow path with a width of two feet has been dug out, which can be used for people to walk.

After walking along the trail for about a mile, the road finally opened up. It turned out that the so-called guest room was built by hollowing out the stone wall. However, not far from the guest room, there were two caves covered by formations. After asking around, I found out that it was the place where my parents usually lived.

Looking at the bottomed teacup in his hand, and then at the old male cultivator who was still trying to add more spiritual water, he waved his hand to stop him:

"I've almost finished drinking the spiritual tea. I wonder if you two can go and report it? If it's convenient for fellow Taoist Xu, please come out and see me."

At the same time, I was also a little strange in my heart. How could the servants my parents hired be so ignorant? They had already told them that they were here for a visit, so why did they take the guests to the waiting room to dry out without even telling them to inform them.

"Senior, sir, my master is out. Please wait patiently for a while, senior. The date of return that the master told me before leaving is today. I think he should be on the way now." This time the female cultivator answered.

"I see, then I don't know what your master went to do? Why are you so sure to come back today?" He thought to himself, what a coincidence, but he also questioned what the two of them said.

"The master went to attend the exchange meeting held by the nobles. He said he would come back after it was over. The exchange meeting ended yesterday, and the master will definitely come back today."

"I see, then I'll wait a little longer!" After saying that, he asked the old man to make another cup of tea, and then continued to drink it.

It wasn't until around midnight that he sensed someone appearing outside the reception room. He walked in and laughed loudly:

"Haha, I don't know if that Taoist friend from the Xu family is here. It's really brilliant!"

Although the voice was disguised, Xu Zhiyu had long recognized it. Who else was it if it wasn't his father, Xu Zhengyang? The person who came in with him was his mother.

Originally, he was going to kneel down and kowtow directly, but when he saw the couple following behind his parents, he could only reluctantly hand over his hands in embarrassment and said:

"Xu Zhiyu of the Xu family has met fellow Taoist Xu and Mrs. Xu!"

"Master, Mistress, this Senior Xu has been waiting for you for several hours. As per your instructions, I have been serving you good tea in the guest room."

"Well, you did a good job. Now step aside. I have something important to discuss with this fellow Taoist." Father Xu first praised the old couple and then ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

After the figures of the two servants disappeared from his consciousness, he stopped pretending and knelt directly on the ground, and began to pay homage to his parents:

"The child has met his father and mother. They are both well!"

The two elders turned around and changed their appearance back to their original appearance. Before Xu's father could say anything, Xu's mother could no longer bear it. She lifted Xu Zhiyu up and looked at it carefully, mumbling something. 'I lost weight even though I was black'.

After that, the family of three began to tell each other what happened after they parted. Mainly, Xu's mother was asking, Xu Zhiyu was talking, and Xu's father was listening, occasionally interjecting to ask something.

The good times always passed quickly, and before they knew it, the three of them had been chatting until the moon reached the zenith, but he had no intention of stopping. After visiting his parents this time, he was about to prepare to break through the Zi Mansion, and again We haven't seen each other for several years, and he will definitely ask some of the things he wants to ask.

"Father, mother, you two are practicing well now. I wonder how long it will take to achieve the goal of Zifu?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang, who was still drinking tea, put down his teacup and said:

"Your mother and I, with the help of the magical spirit fruit you gave us, not only broke through the foundation building, but also soared to the eighth level of foundation building in just a few years, but the two of us have The foundation is still too shallow, so your mother and I plan to stay in the foundation-building realm for a while. When the foundation is solid, we will consider breaking through the Zi Mansion. However, it is impossible in a short time. It will take more than ten years anyway. .”

"Okay, don't worry, kid! But before you break through, you must tell me first, and I will prepare spiritual objects for you to break through."

He felt relieved when he heard that his parents would not break through the Zi Mansion in a short time. What he was afraid of was that his parents would break through with him, and there would be a conflict over who would use the ultimate Purple Qi Talisman.

"No, Yu'er, you don't know. Your father and I both had feelings at the same time. We don't need to use any other spiritual objects to break through the Zi Mansion. We just need to use the spiritual fruit you gave us. We are just refining it now." A small part, the rest is enough for us to break through to the Zifu realm, so don't worry about us.

As for you, you must remember to wait until the foundation-building spiritual power is completely polished before trying to break through. You must not be impatient. Your sixteenth grandfather is a lesson learned from the past! "Xu's mother said earnestly. It was obvious that he was very concerned about his son's safety.

"I understand, mother, don't worry you two, I won't act recklessly." After that, the three of them continued chatting. Xu Zhiyu thought about the two old couple monks who received him today. He felt that they were not very smart and asked casually. :

"Father, mother, I heard from my grandfather before that you two elders have been living alone, so where did you find these two servants?"

Hearing him ask this, Xu's mother's eyes suddenly turned red, and then she explained in a low tone:

"Yu'er, you also know that I come from the Li family that was wiped out in the last beast wave. I originally thought that all the monks in the Li family, including mortals, died in that beast wave, but I didn't expect that to be the case. At that time, the patriarch of the Li family also had the foresight to ask three well-qualified members of the family to leave with a sum of resources before the beast tide came.

The three of them originally ran away together, but later they encountered seven or eight monsters. They had no choice but to escape separately. One of them was killed by the monsters, leaving only two people to escape. After the two reunited, they ran away While working hard in Dahefang City tens of thousands of miles away, one of them failed to forcibly build the foundation without the Foundation Establishment Pill. In the end, only one person was left to marry a Taoist monk and live in the city.

It's a coincidence that three years ago, when your father and I traveled to Dahefang City, we happened to find two people setting up stalls to make a living in the casual repair market of Fang City. I recognized the special uniqueness of the Li family in the stalls. Mark, after final communication, the two of them were willing to be our servants. After all, the Lingyin Peak where we are now belonged to the Li family at the beginning. He may also have the idea of ​​​​returning to his roots! "

"So, that old monk just now should be your nephew, mother?"

"Yes, he is two or three years younger than you, and he is almost ninety."

After hearing what his mother said, Xu Zhiyu was silent for a while, which was considered as condolences to his mother's family.

"Okay, today is a festive day, why are you talking about this! Yu'er, do you have the spirit wine with you? My father will have a few drinks with you." Xu Zhengyang interrupted when he saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy.

"Yes, father, I bought this specially from the largest spirit wine workshop in Tianyuanfang City. I heard it is like fine wine, but I don't know if it is true or not. I want you to taste it today."

Seeing him take out a jar of wine and three jade cups, Xu Fugang hurriedly advised:

"Just take two glasses. Your mother is a teetotaler. It's not like you don't know that."

"Son, don't worry about him. I'm happy today. I'll pour you a glass for my mother, and I'll drink less too!"

"Okay, mother!"

Next, as the spirit wine was consumed, the atmosphere at the wine table became more lively. After Xu's mother drank a glass of spirit wine, she was already a little tipsy, so she took his hand and asked:

"Yu'er, logically speaking, you are already a foundation-building monk and are about to break through to the Zi Mansion. However, there are some things that mother should say. If you meet the woman you like, marry her home. Look at me and you. After my father got married, he still wasn't cultivating immortality, so he didn't miss anything."

Before he could reply, Xu Zhengyang had already spoken.

"Madam, when I usually drink some wine, you always say that I made a gaffe while drunk. Why have you become like this today? How old is Yu'er? He doesn't know how to find a Taoist companion, so don't get involved. Yes, I heard from my father that he has found the granddaughter of the head of the Zifuan family and is planning to come to propose marriage!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyu was almost 80% drunk. He almost choked on the spirit wine and asked quickly:

"Father, what you said is true. Why have I never heard my grandfather mention it to me?"

"Of course it's true. When I met your grandfather more than a month ago, he said it himself. How can it be false? As for why I didn't tell you, maybe I wanted to give you a surprise!"

What a surprise, this is a shock, right? If this news reaches Lingxiao Sect and Qin Yun and Master Chu know about it, then what will happen if he eats the food in the bowl and looks at the food in the pot? Then he gets angry and brings a group of female disciples to his door to criticize him. ?

Thinking of this, he was ready to go back to the family and stop his grandfather no matter what, otherwise he would become Xu Shimei, and he would definitely be chopped into two pieces by Master Chu, no, his body would be broken into thousands of pieces.

"Don't be impatient. The last time your grandfather came here, he just discussed with me. The specific time has not been decided yet. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Xu Zhengyang stopped him.

Seeing his panicked expression, Xu's mother found it difficult to understand. The boy was about to get married and the girl was about to get married. Why was her son so afraid? She didn't hide it and asked directly.

"Rongzhen, the second elder. In fact, the child has found a Taoist companion, but I haven't had time to tell my grandfather and you two elders yet."

Originally, he didn't want to speak out about this matter yet. After all, it involved the true disciples of Lingxiao Sect. When he left Lingxiao Sect, Master Chu also told him the same thing.

When Xu's father and mother heard what he said, they first looked at each other, and then they were ecstatic. It was Xu's mother who kept shaking his arm and asked like a barrage of questions:

"Really? Where is the woman from? When did you meet? How old are you? What is your cultivation level? Why didn't you bring her to see us?"

"Oh, madam, don't ask so many questions at once. How will Yu'er answer you?"

"How to answer? Just answer each question one by one. I don't believe this and you don't want to know!" Xu's mother glared at her Taoist companion and said.

Seeing that the two elders were about to quarrel, Xu Zhiyu hurriedly explained in detail how he and Qin Yun met due to a misunderstanding, how they met again in the family market, and how he finally helped her win the Lingxiao Sect's true successor position, etc. Once again, by the time I finished speaking, the sky had turned white.

"So, you two became a Taoist couple under the witness of her master. The real marriage will have to wait until you achieve the golden elixir. It seems that it is not possible in a short time!"

After hearing this, Xu's mother said with a mixed expression. She was happy that her son's Taoist companion had been found, but she was worried that she didn't know if she could wait until that day. Although they could break through to Zifu with that magical spirit fruit, Jin They had never expected to break through the realm of Dan.

"Fairy Qin has been vigorously cultivated by the Lingxiao Sect, and with the help of her master, it should not be difficult to achieve the golden elixir. As for Yu'er, I have known that he is extraordinary since I was a child. It is only a matter of time before I can break through to the golden elixir. When the time comes, it will be a matter of time. What's the matter? So anxious!”

In the end, Xu Zhiyu handed over the storage ring he bought from the Taiyanglou branch in Tianyuanfang City to the two elders. Originally, they were unwilling to accept it, but they accepted it after seeing that he also had one.

However, he also told his parents that before breaking through the Zi Mansion, these two rings must not be taken out. (End of chapter)
