Liu Qingyi let the man go away yelling, and soon the village exploded. A large number of torches gradually appeared in the mountains, and a group of people were rushing towards the entrance of the village.
When everyone approached, they all stared intently at Liu Qingyi who was standing at the gate, with expressions of excitement and surprise that could not be concealed on their faces.
The young villager who left earlier was now facing a leading man in the crowd and said, "Look, I said Immortal Liu was back, so I shouldn't have coaxed you."
The leading man was the village chief Xu Jin. He stared at Liu Qingyi for a long time and said, "You...you are back."
Xu Tianbao on the side had already squeezed out of the crowd, reached Liu Qingyi's side, grabbed him and said, "Brother Liu, follow me. I've sent someone to call Luo'er."
Seeing this, Xu Jin scolded: "Tianbao, don't be rude, what are you talking about, elder brother and second brother? Immortal Liu has just returned to the village and has been tired all the way. Let him rest for a while first. You go to the meeting hall to prepare some tea for the Immortal to relieve his fatigue." "
Xu Tianbao muttered: "How can an immortal get tired? Dad is really the same." But he turned around and ran towards the village.
Liu Qingyi smiled and said: "Village Chief Xu, I haven't seen you for many days, and we have become more and more unfamiliar. The so-called Immortal Master, it's okay not to call him."
Xu Jin said to Tianbao: "Don't dare to be careless. Once you enter the immortal gate, you will be different from immortals. I used to call you Liu Xiaozi, and people in the village called you Brother Liu. That meant you were still a mortal. Now you are The introductory disciple of the Immortal family is naturally the Immortal Master. Although you come from our Humiao Village, the rules of the Immortal cannot be exceeded."
After Xu Jin finished speaking, the surrounding villagers also nodded solemnly and shouted "Master Liu Xian" and "Master Liu Xian" non-stop.
Liu Qingyi was a little big-headed and said after a moment: "Village chief, let's not talk about this. Let's find a place first. I have brought some things back so that I can distribute them to everyone."
Xu Jin heard this and said, "Master Liu, come with me. Let's arrange for Master Liu to take a rest in the meeting hall first."
After saying that, he was led to the village first, and a group of villagers from Humiao Village who came out gathered around Liu Qingyi and walked all the way, and soon they arrived at the village settlement.
Liu Qingyi came step by step like stars holding the moon, and found that the muddy road, dilapidated thatched huts, and crooked stone houses had changed.
I saw a street inlaid with moonwhite jade running from east to west, with a row of bluestone tile houses neatly lined up on both sides. The stone house where the village chief Xu Jin originally lived has now been built into a two-story stone building, and the second floor is actually hung The plaque with the name 'Conference Hall' looks really impressive.
The crowd surrounded Liu Qingyi and went up to the second floor. They respectfully invited him to sit at the head of the hall, and then the others took their seats one by one.
Tianbao and several young people had already brought several pots of hot tea to Liu Qingyi, Xu Jin and other village backbones.
As soon as Liu Qingyi sat down, he saw dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him, all waiting for him to say something. After thinking for a while, he said: "This time I came back from the Immortal Sect. One of them is to come back to the Lake Temple." I visited the village and brought some things to everyone. Secondly, I planned to stay in the village for a few days. When I came here, I had already been to the palace of the city lord of Yinyuan City, so Wu Chengfeng kept his word and exempted himself from the corvee in Humiao Village. A few years apart.”
Xu Jin smiled when he heard this and said: "Ever since Immortal Liu was selected into the Heavenly Beast Sect at the Spirit Selection Ceremony, the city lord of Yinyuan City has been trying to please our Humiao Village in every possible way, and He Jinkong from the city lord's palace often comes to stay in the village. , I also treat Tianbao and Luo'er as brothers and sisters, and they take great care of us in response to the affairs in the city."
Liu Qingyi nodded and said: "Then why did I have the grace to save his life? Before I left, I asked him to take care of Humiao Village. This is all expected. I wonder what the situation in Yinyuan City is like now? I Are there any other changes since you left?"
Xu Jin thought for a while and said: "Before the Self-Selected Spirit Ceremony, after Immortal Master Liu, Immortal Master Chen Sui'er of the Chen family, and Immortal Master Xu Xiang of the Xu family successfully joined the Immortal Sect, the news spread back to Yinyuan City. The city lord Wu Chengfeng was very happy and sent people on the spot. I invited the Xu family to Daoling Village and moved the whole family to live in Yinyuan City. Now Yinyuan City has five major families living side by side. In addition to the original four major families of Bai, Qi, Chen, and Wang, there is another Xu family. Wu Chengfeng also sent people to Humiao Village to invite us, but I declined them all. If we, who are not direct relatives of the Immortal Master, move to the city, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Liu Qingyi nodded slightly and said: "If you don't want to move, then don't move. I wonder if the red scarf bandit is still rampant now? Is the Qi family in Yinyuan City looking for trouble again?"
Xu Jin smiled and said: "After you defeated the red scarf thieves with your immortal magic at the entrance of the village, the thieves gang in our Humiao Village has almost disappeared. Every time I bump into the Qi family in the city, they are afraid to avoid us. It seems that Afraid of provoking us again.”
Liu Qingyi laughed loudly and said: "Well, I guess they are wise. My original intention when I came back this time was to completely solve the problem of the red scarf thief. Since they have retreated, I have no choice but to be merciful and merciful."
After laughing for a while, he flicked the green spirit ring in his left hand with his fingers, and more than a hundred bags of yuan coins and shopping items fell down, filling up a huge long table in the conference hall on the second floor and covering all the people gathered in the hall. The villagers' eyes widened when they saw it.
"This is what I brought back this time. You can share it with everyone these days as a token of my gratitude." Liu Qingyi ordered Xu Jin calmly.
Xu Jin's face beamed with joy and he said, "Thank you, Immortal Master, thank you so much." But he stood up and led a group of people in the room to kneel down and kowtow: "Thank you, Immortal Master Liu, for your gift."
A series of actions seemed to have been rehearsed in advance, and Liu Qingyi was stunned for a long time.
When everyone stood up, Liu Qingyi had a fierce look on his face, looked at Xu Jin and others and said: "Everything else can follow you, but for this one thing, from now on, everyone is not allowed to kneel when they see me, but this must be done by me. .”
Seeing that Liu Qingyi was serious about what he said, Xu Jin nodded and said: "According to what Immortal Master Liu said, we have prepared a banquet to welcome the Immortal Master and wash away the dust. We also ask the Immortal Master to honor us."
Liu Qingyi waved his hand and said: "No need, I've already eaten in the city..." As he was talking, he heard a sound of footsteps going up to the second floor, and a woman's voice sounded from behind: "Brother Liu, You're back……"
When Liu Qingyi first heard the familiar voice, she turned around and saw Luo'er, a girl standing timidly on the attic staircase, looking at him with a pair of big eyes, a look of surprise on her face.
When Liu Qingyi saw it, his heart felt so tight that he was speechless.
…
In Humiao Village, next to the big lake, a small wooden house built with white stone and green tiles was built a few months ago. It has the word "Liu Xuan" written on it. It is a temple built by the villagers in memory of the village's immortal Liu Qingyi. The front altar table, which is two people wide, is filled with various candle holders, meats, fruits and other items used by the villagers for sacrifice.
In the originally deserted room, there was a sound of men and women talking.
The man said: "Sister Luo'er, this is the immortal treasure pill I brought back. One pill can extend the life of a mortal by ten to twenty years. If you take this pill, you can extend your life by ten to twenty years." .”
A woman's voice sounded: "There is such a magical thing in the world. Is this an elixir?"
"That's natural..."
The woman's voice said again: "That's really good stuff, it must cost a lot of coins."
"Don't worry about how many yuan coins there are. There are three in total. You can give one more to my aunt, and you can distribute the remaining one. This thing should either be taken by others or hidden. Don't let anyone know about it, otherwise you will be remembered. .”
"I don't need you to tell me! Is this thing really that magical? I'm still young, so I won't see any effect after eating it." The woman's voice was slightly confused.
"...Well, this is true." The man's voice choked and he was speechless.
In the cabin, Liu Qingyi gave the Life-Extension Pill to Luo'er, then got up and packed up the cabin. He came back this time not only to bring back the Life-Extension Pill, but also made up his mind to stay for a few days to bring the three Spiritual Pills and the Gold Yuan. After using the Barrier Breaking Pill, you can further improve your cultivation level.
This time I went out to the Juntian City Immortal Products Conference, and I felt more and more that the cultivation level of the Spiritual Forging Stage was not top-notch in the entire fairy world, especially a young monk like myself who was on the fifth level of the Spiritual Forging Stage, compared to a passerby in the Immortal World. Not much better.
This lakeside wooden house has been vacant for a long time since it was built. Nothing in the house was equipped. Liu Qingyi laid out a large bag of bedding, pillows and other items that Luo'er brought, and used a water diversion spell to divert the house. I rinsed it inside and out, which made Luoer on the side exclaim that it was amazing.
After everything was tidied up, Luo'er saw Liu Qingyi's face looking a little tired and said softly: "Brother Liu, you go to bed early and I'll come see you tomorrow." After saying that, her green skirt waved lightly and she left the small room. The wooden house meanders towards the village.
Liu Qingyi was sitting in the room with twinkling eyes. When he came back this time, he found that Luo Er had lost a lot of weight and had grown a lot taller. They seemed to be at a loss for words after not seeing each other for a long time.
He rested for a while in the wooden house and then went out for a walk by the lake. When he saw the sparkling waves on the lake reflecting the stars, the night wind blowing, and the vast smoke waves, he became obsessed for a moment.
