  In the blink of an eye, it has been ten days since he returned to his family. During this period, Xu Zhiyu did nothing and stayed with his parents to fulfill his filial piety.

On this day, he was chatting with his second elder in the yard where his parents lived, when he felt that the formation outside the yard was touched.

"Father, mother, let me go see who it is!"

"Go, maybe it's your uncle. Two days before you returned home, he just accompanied Bago and his children to Fangshi. Now he must have heard that you were back and came here specifically to see you!"

Xu's father looked very old, lying on the recliner, and said to his son who was standing beside him. Xu's mother, who had never spoken at this time, also answered in time:
  "Look at your eighth brother, he is more than a year older than you. Other people's children are old, and you are not young anymore. It's time to find a Taoist companion. It seems that your father and I have less than ten years left to live. , if we can see you get married and have children before we pass away, then your father and I will be able to live a more peaceful life."

When Xu Zhiyu heard this, his head suddenly got big, and he immediately said angrily:

"Don't worry, mother! The child will take care of this matter. Now he has a goal. I will bring it back to you in a few days!"

As soon as he heard this, the second elder who was still lying on the recliner immediately sat up. One on each side, they grabbed his hand tightly, their hands trembled with excitement, and asked:

"Is it true? Where is the woman from? Whose name is she? How old are you? How long have you two known each other?"

He who originally wanted to stabilize his parents saw this situation and immediately said:

"Father, mother! There are still clan members waiting outside. I'm going to activate the formation first. We'll talk about this later!"

He came to the door in a hurry, turned on the formation, and saw two people standing at the door. He was slightly stunned, because in his opinion, these two people should not have any intersection, how could they come together?
  "Bago, Qijin, you are here! Come on, come in quickly and talk in the room!"

"Hello benefactor!"

Xu Zhipeng is now older and doesn't talk as much as he did when he was young. Now when he hears his polite words, he just smiles very honestly, but Sun Qijin is different and bows respectfully.

He let the two people in, opened the formation, and led the two people to come to their parents to greet them. After that, the three of them came to sit on the stone bench in the middle of the yard to talk.

"Bago, we haven't seen each other for a while. Since we are here today, don't rush back. I bought a lot of good wine when I went out this time. We two will get drunk tonight!"

Xu Zhiyu spoke first. The man in front of him was a child of his uncle's family, a cousin of the same grandfather, and his playmate since childhood. They had a deep relationship. They had been traveling here and there for these years and rarely had time to get together. So as soon as we met, we wanted to get close to each other.

"Zhiyu, don't be in a hurry to drink. I have something to do with you this time!" Xu Zhipeng waved his hand to refuse and turned to business.

"If you have anything to do, just tell me, Myna." He said to the serious-looking Myna while making tea.

Xu Zhipeng did not speak directly, but glanced at Sun Qijin in a very subtle way. Sun Qijin was also a discerning man, and he immediately got up and went to the second elder to talk with him.

"That's right, you know that kid Jiye, right?"

"Of course, that's your child. I remember when the spirit test results were over and I learned that Jiye had detected a three-spirit root, Bage, you were so happy that you said it to everyone, but you were so happy that you were so happy. What's wrong? Did the kid get into trouble?"

Xu Zhipeng took a sip of Lingcha, praised the quality of the tea, and then continued:

"The child is quite well-behaved and has not caused any trouble. This was not half a month ago. He turned twenty and is old enough to carry out family tasks. My father and I chose a task for him to be stationed in Fang City."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyu suddenly realized and interrupted:
  "Yes, yes, my father just said that you and your uncle went out a few days ago, just to send Jiye to Fangshi, right?"

"That's right, I just went to see him off. But after he was sent to Fangshi, this kid was like a wild horse. He got into the casual cultivator market and never came out. The two of us waited for him for more than three hours. !”

Zhipeng said in a tone of hatred, as if he was complaining about Xu Jiye's lack of potential, but it was not his fault. He had been living in the family since he was a child and had never left. When he entered Fangshi, that was not what he was looking at. All fresh?

Xu Zhiyu shook his head with a smile and comforted:
  "Okay, Bago, isn't it normal for children to be like this? When you and I went to Fangshi for the first time, we weren't just having fun?"

"I can understand if you just want to wander around the casual cultivator market, but something happened to this guy!" After taking a big sip of tea, Xu Zhipeng continued to say dumbfounded.

"What do you mean? In our market, there are still monks who are so blind that they dare to deceive our clan members?" Xu Zhiyu's expression immediately changed, thinking that his nephew had been tricked by casual cultivators.

"No, no one cheated him, so it should be considered a good thing?"

"Did something good happen? What good thing happened?" These words made him very curious.

"He bought a book called "Encyclopedia of Basic Spiritual Medicines" from a casual cultivator. When he bought it back and took a look, he found a mezzanine in the cover of the book with a map drawn inside. It looked like a hidden treasure. picture!"

After hearing Bage finish the whole thing in one breath, Xu Zhiyu fell silent. Isn't this obviously a game? Something good happened! Ordinarily, mynah has lived for most of his life, so how could he be fooled so easily?
  As soon as Xu Zhipeng looked at his clan brother's eyes, he knew what he was thinking, and immediately explained:
  "At first, your uncle and I thought that some rogue cultivators treated Jiye as a fat sheep and set a trap for him. But after we studied the map carefully, we found that the map seemed real."

"Really? Can that be true? Brother Bage, I'm not talking about you as a younger brother. This is obviously a lie. Someone saw that Jiye was spending a lot of money and then set him up. How come you and my uncle didn't notice it? Woolen cloth?"

Seeing that his clan brother didn't believe him, Xu Zhipeng didn't explain himself. He took out a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wings from his storage bag and handed it over, explaining at the same time:

"Can I be so stupid? After Jiye told me about this, I immediately found Zhikai and asked him to go to the casual cultivator market to control the stall owner who was selling the "Encyclopedia of Basic Spiritual Medicines"."

"But no matter how Zhikai interrogated the boy, he always insisted that he didn't know there was anything else in the book, and that the map had been studied by Zhikai, Zhiqiang and other foundation-building monks, and no problems were found. At the same time, he thought it was very useful. Maybe it’s true, I just brought it back to the family.”

Looking at the exquisite map in his hand again and again, he said without raising his head:
  "Myna, this map seems to be drawn on second-grade high-grade organdy yarn. This kind of yarn is extremely rare and valuable. Now I somewhat believe that this map is real, because casual cultivators will definitely not make such a big bet. It’s my own money. But why did you bring this thing to me? You should give it directly to your grandfather or ancestor, right?”

"Originally, as soon as I returned to the family, I went straight to the family meeting hall to find my grandfather, but the clan members on duty there told me that my grandfather and ancestor have been staying in the cave to discuss things since you came back, and they also ordered not to be disturbed. , that’s why I came to you now. Logically speaking, you have seen a lot of things in the world over the years, so I brought it here specifically for you to take a look at." Xu Zhipeng said. "Okay, put the thing here for now. When I see my grandfather and ancestor in two days, I will show it to them. To be honest, the place marked on the map seems familiar to me, just for a moment and a half. I won’t remember it.” He studied the map for a while and said to his brother.

"That's such a coincidence! Zhikai also said this. He said he seemed to have seen it there. Okay, just remember this. If you figure it out then, remember to tell me. Okay, that's it. Come on, I’m leaving first!”

Xu Zhipeng was about to say goodbye and leave, but after his repeated attempts to persuade him, he finally agreed to have a drink together in the evening.

"Qijin, tell me what you have to do with me? Are you encountering any difficulties? Don't worry, I recruited you. If you have any difficulties, just tell me directly."

After sending Xu Zhipeng away, he summoned Sun Qijin from his parents and asked him directly about his purpose.

"That's right, benefactor"

"Okay, from now on, don't always call me benefactor. I'm a few years older than you. You can just follow the clan's call. Just call me Brother Nineteen!"

"Okay, Brother Nineteen, it's like this, hasn't it been a few days since I came to the family? I have been thinking about raising spiritual silkworms, but the most important thing for raising spiritual silkworms is to have spiritual mulberry trees. But I went back and forth several times in Zushan, except for those forbidden areas, but I didn't find a shadow of a mulberry tree, so I came to find you!"

It turns out that Sun Qijin is also restless. The day after he arrived at the family, the patriarch Xu Shengsheng went to find him and gave him a family token and a ceremony to join the clan. And after it was over, he was given the first year's family salary, which moved him very much.

He felt that since he joined the Xu family, he would have to play a role. People asked him to be a worshiper and raise spiritual silkworms, so he investigated it in advance.

Xu Zhiyu patted his forehead, smiled apologetically, made Sun Qijin a cup of tea, and then said:
  "It's my fault. The family has never raised spiritual silkworms before, so naturally there are no spiritual mulberry trees in the family. I have been thinking about this, but as soon as I returned to the family, I forgot about it. So, I will give it to the Zhikai tribe in Fangshi I sent a message to my brother and asked him to go to Taiyang Tower to have a look. I remember there are Lingmulberry seedlings for sale there."

"I have a blank jade slip here. You can list the types of spiritual mulberry seedlings you need and other things needed to raise spiritual silkworms. I will ask him to buy them for you!"

Sun Qijin was very excited when he heard this and said immediately:
  "This is really great. Although raising spiritual silkworms is not too difficult, the preliminary preparation work is very cumbersome and requires a lot of spiritual things. Now, if there is strong support from the family, I am confident that raising spiritual silkworms will become a A good business for the family to make a lot of spiritual stones."

"Okay, I believe in you, and I look forward to that day coming soon. Come, let me drink tea instead of wine and wish you success in advance!"

"Dry!"

The two tea cups touched each other happily, and then there was the sound of drinking tea. After finishing the cup of tea, Sun Qijin talked about another thing.

"Brother Nineteen, in fact, the location for planting spiritual mulberry trees is also very particular. Generally speaking, they should be planted in sunny areas with little water. I just happened to find such a few good locations on Zushan Mountain, but I just came here, so I don't know how to plant them. I know whether the places I chose will be inconvenient, so I specially asked you to accompany me to see them. Do you have time now? If you have time, can we go and see them? "

In fact, this is the main purpose of his coming here today. As Xu Zhiyu said before, regarding the purchase of spiritual mulberry seedlings and the purchase of silkworm-raising spiritual objects, the clan leader has already told him to go directly to the family sundry hall.

"Wait a moment, I'll tell the second elder!" It happened that he hadn't walked around the clan mountain yet after returning home, so he readily agreed.

After bidding farewell to his two elders, he, under the leadership of Sun Qijin, began to inspect the places he said were suitable for planting spiritual mulberry trees.

"Brother Nineteen, the family mountain is so big that I almost got lost the first time I walked around!"

"Is it that exaggerated? But compared to before, it's really much bigger!"

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the halfway point of Zushan. When they reached this point, Sun Qijin told him that he had arrived. He looked around and asked immediately:
  "Qijin, isn't this where the cave where the family built its foundation is located? If you plan to plant the spiritual mulberry tree here, will it be inconvenient?"

Sun Qijin did not answer his question immediately, but pointed to the easternmost one in a row of caves and explained:

"Brother Nineteen, have you seen it? The patriarch has promised me that after the foundation is successfully built, the family will allocate the cave to me, so I decided to plant the spiritual mulberry tree here. This will also make it easier for me to take care of and pick the spiritual mulberry tree in the future. Mulberry leaves.”

Xu Zhiyu crossed his arms and rubbed his chin with his right hand. He observed carefully for a long time before shaking his head and saying:
  "No, I always feel that it is not good to plant spiritual mulberry trees in front of the cave! Besides, I am thinking that planting spiritual mulberry trees must not be just a few or a dozen. You can find a more spacious place and we can plant hundreds of them at once. This When we grow up, it will be a mulberry forest, wouldn’t this be better?”

Sun Qijin's eyes lit up and he said:

"What Brother Nineteen said is that my vision is too narrow. Then let's go to the next place to investigate! It is a rare flat land on the Clan Mountain, and the area is large enough. It is the best place to plant a large number of spiritual mulberry trees. It couldn’t be more appropriate!”

"Oh? The family still has such a place. It seems that my familiarity with the family is not as good as that of a newcomer. Take me to see it quickly!"

The two of them walked quickly, holding the flying sword, and arrived at their destination in a few breaths. However, Xu Zhiyu just looked around and said directly without even pressing the flying sword:

"Qijin, this is a forbidden family area. If you want to plant a spiritual mulberry tree here, I advise you to give up!"

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to feel it, because the amulet in the sea of ​​​​consciousness moved again, as if something was attracting it.

Sun Qijin, who was behind him, felt something strange about him, but saw that he didn't speak and didn't dare to speak. He didn't ask until he saw him open his eyes:
  "Brother Nineteen, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, let's go look elsewhere!"

After saying that, he stepped on the flying sword, turned the sword, and left this place, but an idea came to his mind: After accumulating enough energy, he must explore this place again!

After that, the two went to several places, and finally decided on a place to plant the mulberry trees in a sunny, flat valley behind the Clan Mountain.
