Changshou Village is located among mountains and ravines. The location is very steep and secret. It needs to go around dozens of acres of peach blossom forest, three small rivers and a mountain stream.
Like a peach blossom garden.
The only people who knew this place were Old Taijun and Ji Jiuwei. It wasn't like they had been here before. In fact, they had already walked around the village for a day and a night before finding it.
Because the first page of the Jiang family tree is the topographic map of Changshou Village, and the first line of the family motto is also "The place where the ancestor Jiang Taixu made his fortune. Xu must remember that if the family dies and flees, you can avoid disaster." But no one cares. After all, for thousands of years, the place where they made their fortune was at most a dilapidated village. How to avoid disaster?
So when Xin Zhuo mentioned it, my grandmother and mother immediately thought of it.
There are not many families in the village. There are more than 20 households, all with independent courtyards, unique architecture and elegant environment.
"Crunch..."
"It's Axu's family. It's very nice. He seems to have been out for a long time and has never come back. I didn't expect his family to come this time."
"Now! This is his family. His family used to be the richest family in our village. Unfortunately, his parents died early. He insisted on going out to practice martial arts. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he refused to listen. I wonder how his martial arts practice is now. That’s it, I’m so excited!”
The speaker was the village chief of Changshou Village, an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a gray robe, with a ruddy face, smelling of alcohol, and holding a wine gourd in his hand.
Just what he said made Xin Zhuo and the others extremely surprised. When they entered the village, they just mentioned the name of their ancestor casually. The village chief actually knew, Ah Xu? Jiang Taixu? It was too confusing to call him a friendly name, as if he was familiar with him.
Pushing open the courtyard door, there is a large courtyard covered with weeds, a main house, and seven or eight side rooms. They are all buildings with simple shapes that are very different from the outside. There is also a backyard in the back, full of strange jujube trees.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many weeds and cobwebs that affected the appearance, it must have been an elegant mountain village courtyard.
"Well, that's it, pack it up so that people can live in it!" The village chief staggered away, shaking his head as he walked, not knowing how hard he was shaking his head.
"There seem to be very few outsiders coming in the village, but they are neither enthusiastic nor curious." Xiongzhao blinked his blue eyes with a puzzled look on his face.
Bai Xuanji smiled and said: "Since you can go out, you will naturally see people outside often. Is there anything strange about it?"
"Actually..." Yam Yao wanted to put forward his own opinion, but as he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.
Because Old Taijun, Ji Jiuwei and Xin Zhuo all had strange expressions on their faces.
"How many years ago was our ancestor Jiang Taixu?" Xin Zhuo looked at his grandmother and mother.
The old lady said with a serious face: "If our ancestors were alive, they would probably be more than 3,000 years old this year!"
Ji Jiuwei also said: "The family tree has detailed records. Jiang Taixu was born in the first year of the Great Chu Kingdom's Shengxu. He broke through the 22nd level of Hunyuanxu in the seventh year of the Supreme Being. According to the time calculation, he is 3987 years old."
Xin Zhuo frowned and said: "The village chief said Axu, which must be the nickname of our ancestor Jiang Taixu. Is this the longevity method in Changshou Village?"
Is the village chief an old monster who has lived for nearly 4,000 years?
"The old man drank too much!"
Ji Jiuwei pointed to the stone walls on both sides of the main house opposite, which clearly read:
"My parents, Axu, are dead and have gone out to practice martial arts!"
"Village chief, please stop trying to persuade me, I won't come back again!"
The handwriting is crooked, and it is obvious that there is no culture.
Did the Emotional Village Chief read it the same way?
"I'm going to live here permanently from now on, so clean it up!"
The old woman drew out the long sword at her waist and took the lead in taking action. With her slim figure and beautiful appearance that looked like she was in her twenties, even doing rough work was pleasing to the eye.
"Do it."
Xin Zhuo was very interested in building a home from scratch. He casually took out the long knife he bought on the road and began to cut it randomly.
Seeing the noble mother and son standing in the imperial pyramid working so hard, Xiong Zhang, Bai Xuanji, Shan Yao, Chan Yi and Li Yun were greatly moved and immediately took action.
After burning one-fifth of the incense.
There were two deck chairs bought on the road in front of the courtyard. Xin Zhuo and Xiao Huang were lying on them, holding a book on the mountains, rivers and geography of Hezhou Prefecture and looking at them.
Lying on the lounge chair next door, my wife Ji Jiuwei, with her slender figure and charming princess temperament, holds the snacks elegantly with her snow-white soft pancreas, and lightly opens her lips to taste them.
In the courtyard, the old lady rolled up her sleeves and worked hard with three-year-old Jiang Zichong and a group of women. She looked back, shook her head, and sighed.
…
dusk
The light snow turned into heavy snow, and the whole village was covered in white.
The yard has been tidied up, the horses are tied up in the backyard, the six or seven side rooms have been cleaned cleanly, and brand new bedding has been put on them. The kitchen is also filled with fish, meat, vegetables and cooking.
"boom!"
Shennong's Xiantian Cauldron was placed heavily in the main room by Xin Zhuo.
Soon, smoke started rising from the kitchen in the corner of the courtyard, and Chanyi and Xiongzhang were cooking.
The dishes are braised duck with bamboo shoots, stewed pig's trotters, stewed bacon with winter melon, fried pickles and cold cucumbers, plus rice.
This kind of food is really simple for everyone, but it is considered good here, and it is even a bit fresh.
After leaving the Jiang Mansion, everyone is a family regardless of their seniority, so they sit down and have dinner together.
It was snowing heavily outside, the stove was burning in the room, the food was delicious, and we were chatting happily.
"According to Yu Qing's guess, in less than twenty days, the golden age of martial arts will come."
Ji Jiuwei, my mother-in-law, ate a handful of pickles and felt a little salty. She forced herself to swallow them, "No matter what happens in the future, our family must be able to protect ourselves. Now Yuqing, Xiongzhao, Yam, Chanyi, Nv. The six earthly immortals of Ying, Li Yun, Hei Gu and Bai Gu are the great ones, Old Taijun is the younger one, Xuanji’s body still needs to be adjusted, I don’t know if it’s enough, so..."
Xin Zhuo sighed with emotion. There were six earthly immortals in a family. Who would have dared to imagine this before? In fact, apart from my own outstanding talent, which is now the fourth level of the Earth Immortal, no matter the heroine or Xiongzhang, they are at best great sages. However, Wang Yuejing has trained her several times and her talent has been infinitely developed, and now it is far from reaching its limit.
"...I will thoroughly dig out the secrets of this Shennong Cauldron." I continued, "As I expected, this cauldron can cultivate exotic flowers and herbs, which is of great help to martial arts. Xuanji also has hope of solving the problem in the body. The bloody evil spirit of the army..."
Xin Zhuo opened her mouth and wanted to say, "Mom, please stop being so busy. This cauldron has already recognized its owner. Mine, but I was afraid of dispelling her enthusiasm, so I had to pretend not to know."
Ji Jiuwei continued: "So, starting from tomorrow, you will practice with all your heart, and our family will also compete with this future world of martial arts!"
"There's no point in fighting, right?"
Xin Zhuo couldn't help but say: "Isn't it better if we have nothing to do with the world, practice hard, and amaze the world as soon as we go out?"
Ji Jiuwei pretended to be fierce: "Speak for my mother, please stop interrupting!"
Xin Zhuo shrank his neck. He just said that Wang Yuejing was destined to cause trouble everywhere. It would be difficult to do things behind closed doors. Even if the family members offered sacrifices, they would not be able to catch up with his speed. First of all, it would not be possible the day after tomorrow. , at least after converting it with the Shennong Cauldron, I had to pick up the duck pieces I didn't know when to eat in the bowl. I couldn't help but praise the bear's paw: "It tastes good, with a herbal flavor."
Xiong Zhang pursed his lips and smiled, a layer of blush flew over his cheeks, and he was so beautiful that he couldn't eat the fireworks in this world.
Chanyi looked at her nose and heart with her ears and nose: "That plate of ducks was made by a slave!"
Xin Zhuo looked at Xiong Paw in surprise, so what are you laughing at?
Xiong's paw covered his mouth, his eyes narrowed together, and he snickered: "I'm so hot, I'll give it to you."
Xin Zhuo: "..."
"Where did I say it?" Ji Jiuwei was disturbed by this sequence and forgot what to say.
The old lady, who had been silent all this time, sighed: "Jiu Wei, it's time to talk about Yu Qing's marriage."
"Uh..." Ji Jiuwei blinked and looked at her mother-in-law.
Xin Zhuo: "?"
The old lady said: "Ji Yaoyue is gone, and Yuqing doesn't have a wife. He and Zichong are the only ones in this family. How can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Jiang family? Now I live in seclusion..."
Xin Zhuo coughed lightly, not to mention that the golden age of martial arts is approaching, and we don't know what will happen in the future. Even if we are in the mood, Xiong Zhang and the others will not have a big problem in passing on the family lineage. If it doesn't work, I will go find Su Miaojin.
"This Jiang family..."
Very good, the topic was unknowingly taken by the old lady, from Xin Zhuo's marriage to the reproduction of the Jiang family.
The old man in the house said that snowflakes were falling outside the window.
