Immortality is above

Chapter 6 6: Return from cultivating immortals (please collect and read)
  Less than half an hour after Chen Liubai left, a group of black air suddenly rolled in from the southwest, and then landed in the mountains. It turned out to be a tall and thin stranger in black robes, wearing a ferocious ghost mask on his face, and exposed A pair of eyes glowed red, and one could tell at a glance that he was not a kind person.

After he landed, he looked around as if he was looking for something.

Then the figure circled around in a ghostly manner.

"No, nothing..."

"But I clearly felt it before. It was the breath of the rhyme of the true scripture. How come it disappeared?"

"Did someone take it away?"

"And or, it's just an illusion!"

The stranger in black robes circled around unwillingly, suddenly stretched out his hand, and a fat wild boar crawling among the bushes flew over uncontrollably.

Bang!

Instantly turned into a ball of blood mist.

The stranger in black robe sniffed it, obviously not satisfied, and did not absorb it. With a wave of his hand, he rose into the sky, turned into black clouds again, and flew away.

……

Chen Liubai's original plan was to stay for two days to rest and recuperate when passing through Maoxian County, but after this incident, there was no need to stay anymore, so he crossed the county seat directly and continued on his way.

He now needs a stable and clean place to study the fragments of the Heavenly Book he obtained. As for other things, he doesn't care much about it.

After driving all the way, in the evening, we finally saw a village located under the rolling mountains.

Chenjiaji!
  After so many years, when the wanderer returns to his hometown, he does not feel that he is "more timid when he is close to his hometown". He feels calm and moves forward.

Chenjiaji is a very large village, built near mountains and rivers, with thousands of households.

It is said to be a "village", but in fact it is a "town". In addition to a large number of residential buildings, defensive buildings such as dock forts and archery towers have also been built.

In Jiangzhou, the Chen family is a local surname, and the Chen family collection is known as the "ancestral land of the clan", which has special significance.

Although with the development of the times, many tribesmen went out to work hard and spread their business, or studied and passed the imperial examinations to become officials, or did business, or practiced martial arts and became famous, they established a foothold in the prosperous city and had their own foundation, but Whenever there is an important time to worship ancestors, the tribesmen will come back and gather together.

When there are more people in the clan, the ancestors multiply and inevitably divide into many lineages.

Chen Liubai's lineage belongs to the side branch, so he lives in the lower half of Chenjiaji Village.

The upper half of the village is where direct descendants live.

The so-called direct collateral branches are determined by bloodline and represent the rules of the clan.

The two are distinct and insurmountable.

However, after many experiences, Chen Liubai sneered at these explanations of clan blood and had long since dismissed them.

He came back just to go home.

Speaking to Xuanxu: In the process of tempering the state of mind of the Immortal Way, this is a very important link and is indispensable.

I don't know if this family, and the family members, still blame him.

In the past, Chen Liubai was actually considered an "unworthy child" at home. He was restless, dishonest, disobedient, and daring. Some of the things he did were often shocking and shocking.

For example, compiling all kinds of weird stories about ghosts and gods;

For example, playing with some weird things; Or, for example, behaving frivolously and unruly in the relationship between men and women...

But at the same time, he is also recognized as a child prodigy by the clan. He can recite poetry at the age of seven and write essays at the age of eight. His calligraphy skills are beautiful and sophisticated, putting even the private school teachers in the clan to shame.

At the age of fourteen, he was awarded the title of scholar in one fell swoop.

Many elders in the clan said that if Chen Liubai could study with peace of mind and then take the exam, he would probably be named the best in the list and honor his ancestors.

At that time, this lineage of his family will be able to recognize their ancestors and be included in the direct family tree.

Unfortunately, when Chen Liubai was fifteen, he met a mysterious Taoist on the street.

This Taoist man was so lucky that he planted a tree with a peach stone, and in a blink of an eye, the tree bore plump and sweet peaches.

Chen Liubai was lucky enough to eat a peach, and was noticed by the Taoist, who said that he was related to the immortal family and wanted to take him up the mountain to cultivate immortality.

Having seen the other party's magical powers, they are definitely not the deceptions of a charlatan. The time traveler was unwilling to be ordinary and mediocre in this life, so he left his book and ran away for ten years.

To this day, I have been unable to seek the truth and have come back from the mountain.

Cross the street, pass through the willow forest, and then step onto a seven-star stone arch bridge.

When you are on the bridge, stop for a moment and watch the gurgling water under the bridge.

The name of this water is "Benma River". It is said that the previous name was more prestigious and was called "Benlong River". However, the word "dragon" was taboo, so it was changed to "Benma".

In the middle and lower part of this seven-star stone arch bridge hangs a rusty dragon-slaying sword.

When he was a boy, Chen Liubai had an idea about this sword and never forgot it. He wanted to dig it out secretly to see if it was a legendary magic weapon, and then the magic weapon could identify its owner or something. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by his tribe and was immediately captured. If he hadn't been known as a "prodigy", he would have been hung up and beaten severely.

Even so, he was imprisoned for several days and could not step out of the house.

Time passed, and while standing on the bridge, Chen Liubai sensed the presence of the dragon-slaying sword.

It is not a magic weapon at all, but it is an old object with a certain power. It's just that it has been integrated with the bridge body and is indivisible. If it is removed, it will immediately break into scrap metal.

After figuring out the matter, Chen Liubai laughed to himself, continued moving forward without stopping, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village.

It was already getting late, and the twilight was closing. Most of the people who were farming or hunting outside had returned to their villages.

A lantern was hung on the Wubao archery tower with a big word "Chen" written on it.

On the wall that was several feet high, there were strong men patrolling. Soon someone spotted Chen Liubai approaching, and immediately shouted: "Who is that? It's getting late, the Chen family is closed, and no outsiders are allowed. Please leave."

Judging from his look, he looked wary. It was obvious that the world was not peaceful and that was why he was like this.

Chen Liubai said loudly: "I am a member of the same clan, my name is 'Chen Liubai', I live in Nishou Lane, my father is Chen Laifu. If you don't believe it, please go and inform me and say that I am back home."

Hearing this, the strong man was dubious. He had heard of the name "Chen Liubai", but he didn't recognize it or had seen it, so he went to find someone to see it.

After a while, several people came to the wall to look around, and then one person shouted: "Chen Liubai, my third cousin, it is indeed him!"

It was easier to deal with after recognizing his identity, but instead of opening the village door, he lowered a basket from the wall, let Chen Liubai sit in it, and then hung it up.

With Chen Liubai's ability, he could have jumped up without any assistance, but he didn't want to show off, so he sat in the basket.

When we got to the top and just stepped out of the basket, a young man rushed over excitedly: "Third cousin, where have you been all these years... Hey, you look at it, you haven't changed at all, you are still a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. appearance?"
