The three words "Linjiacun" came into view.

"Squeak!"

A door opened at the entrance of the village, and an old man with gray hair and bare feet wearing a navy blue jacket and a hoe on his shoulder walked out.

Seeing Xu Junming in Taoist attire and holding a bamboo stick, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing him, Xu Junming raised one palm and slapped his head.

The old man saluted hurriedly.

"I've met the Taoist priest!"

After smiling and nodding, Xu Junming walked toward the village.

Watching his leaving figure, the old man scratched his head.

"I haven't seen a wandering Taoist priest in many years."

He closed the door and went to the ground with his hoe.

At this time, the sky is bright and the air is cool, making it a good time to work.

Otherwise, as soon as the sun passes, the fields will be so hot that someone can die.

Walking to the middle of the village, he saw a blue brick house. Xu Junming stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, footsteps sounded inside.

"Who?"

Accompanied by a "squeak" sound that was no longer crisp and thick, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing a blue and white dress with her hair pulled back appeared in front of her.

Seeing the young Taoist standing outside the door, the woman was stunned for a moment.

"Qingqing, don't you recognize me?" Xu Junming said with a smile.

"Xu...Senior Brother Xu?!"

After Qingqing reacted, she looked at the face in front of her that was the same as it had been more than ten years ago, showing no trace of vicissitudes of life, and said with excitement and surprise.

Smiled and nodded.

"Is the Carnival here?"

"Here, there! Senior brother, please come in quickly."

After letting Xu Junming in, Qingqing shouted excitedly.

"Jia Le, Jia Le, come out quickly. Look who's coming."

Wearing a cyan coat, Jia Le, whose youthful appearance faded away and his complexion became darker, walked out.

When he saw Xu Junming in the yard, he was immediately stunned.

But after reacting, he also became excited.

"Brother!!"

He flew down, opened his arms, and held Xu Junming tightly in his arms.

Xu Junming's calm inner lake also became turbulent.

After practicing Taoism for many years, the person I have the deepest feelings for is the junior brother in front of me.

In the past ten years, he has healed his wounds and practiced Taoism, and he has never seen the past.

Seeing each other again after ten years, seeing each other again after a long separation, was naturally very exciting.

Next to her, Qingqing also cried.

After a long time, Xu Junming patted his junior brother on the back.

"Okay, wipe your tears quickly, you are the boss, let the children see it, and they won't laugh at you."

Jia Le wiped his tears, turned half around, and waved to the three children who ran out after hearing the noise and were standing next to Qing Qing.

"Come here quickly!"

Seeing their father calling, the three children ran over quickly.

"Are they all your and Qingqing's children?"

Jia Le nodded.

"This one's name is Lin Yuan, he's thirteen years old and he's the eldest. This one's name is Lin Jing and he's nine years old and he's the second oldest. And the last one's name is Lin Ping and he's the youngest and he's five years old."

"Call uncle quickly!"

"Hello, uncle!"

"Good boy!"

Seeing that although these three children are all physically strong, there are no traces of cultivation, it is not difficult to guess what Jia Le and Qing Qing are thinking.

There was a flash of earth-yellow light under his feet, refining earth into stone.

Xu Junming used the cover of his sleeve to reach in with his right hand. When he took it out, there were three jade carvings the size of walnuts in his palm.

The images are ox, rooster and dragon respectively, corresponding to the zodiac signs of the three children.

Each effective forehead has a miniature evil amulet.

"This is a gift from uncle to you."

The three children looked at their mother longingly. After she nodded, they happily took it from Xu Junming's hand.

"Thank you uncle!"

After touching their little heads, Xu Junming and Jiale entered the main room together.

Qingqing walked into the back room with her three children, leaving space for them.

After the two of them sat down.

"Senior brother, you almost didn't recognize him, did you?" Jiale said with a smile.

Xu Junming nodded.

"Why did this place suddenly become a village?"

"There were wars in the past few years, and many people who fled saw that this place was secluded, so they settled here. Over time, it became what it is now."

I felt relieved.

"Where is Master Ikkyu?"

"After Qingqing and I got married, the master traveled around the world and came back at most two or three times a year... Senior brother, where have you been these years? I haven't seen you back."

"There was a big battle in the practice world. I was injured a little and have been staying in the sect."

"Injured? Senior brother, where are you injured?" Jiale quickly stood up.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"real?"

"When did senior brother lie to you?"

"That's good! ...By the way, senior brother, can you still see the master?"

Xu Junming shook his head.

"Since ten years ago, the underworld has lost contact with my disciples, and I haven't seen Master for a long time."

"I thought it was because of my declining magic power, but it turns out that my senior brother is like this too." After a pause, Jiale's face showed longing.

"I don't know how Master, the old man, is doing in the underworld?"

"With the care of the Maoshan Patriarchs, Master is fine. But you, how come you haven't seen any progress in your cultivation in the past ten years?"

"Senior brother, you also know that my qualifications are not very good. If it weren't for the elixir you gave me back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to enter the Xiantian realm. As for the truth-seeing realm, let alone it."

"Senior brother, I have a lot of Baiyang Pills here. If you work hard, you will be able to advance to the Realm of Seeing the Reality in five years!"

Jia Le smiled and waved.

"Thank you, senior brother. Now I just want to live a happy life with Qingqing. As for practicing, let's forget about it."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xu Junming sighed.

"Well, everyone has their own ambitions, and senior brother won't force you."

"Thank you for your understanding, senior brother."

"Aren't you going to let my nephews practice cultivation?"

"No. Lin Yuan and his three siblings have mediocre qualifications. Even if they practice cultivation, they won't achieve much. It's better to be ordinary people and live a peaceful life."

Xu Junming nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, a flash of light penetrated Jiale's eyebrows.

After the latter was stunned for a moment, his face showed joy.

"Thank you, senior brother, for the gift."
