Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 372 Old Friend

…

The Changchun Sword Sect is a thousand-year-old sect, and its collection of books is naturally extremely rich, surpassing that of the Maoshan Southern Sect where Xu Junming previously belonged.

But compared to the Chongyang Dao of the Ten Thousand Years Sect, it is a few steps behind.

Xu Junming had seen many of the books in the library in Chongyang Dao, so he basically read them in just half a year.

Excluding some books with shallow intentions, there were only two to three hundred books that really helped him.

Even if it is only two or three hundred volumes, Xu Junming feels that he has gained a lot.

After leaving Changchun Ridge, we headed straight to Xiajiang City.

After more than ten years apart, Xiajiang City is still as prosperous as before.

Returning to my former residence where I have lived for many years, the pomegranate trees are even more prosperous.

Brother, on the left, there is a big one on the left.

I know, I know.

A little girl of about six or seven years old, wearing braids, a flowered jacket, and tiger-head shoes, was standing under the pomegranate tree, jumping and screaming.

Her slender green-white fingers pointed at the treetops, her face full of joy.

On the crown of the pomegranate tree, a little boy of eight or nine years old was stepping on the branches and reaching out to press the big pomegranate on the branches.

Squeak!

Hearing the hoarse sound of the door opening, the little boy turned his head subconsciously and was surprised to see someone coming in. During this distraction, one of his feet lost his footing, and with an 'ouch' sound, he fell from the tree.

The little girl below screamed in fright.

Xu Junming stretched out his hand and held up the little boy with a secret force, placing him on the ground.

Brother, brother, are you okay?

The little girl ran over, all the snot and tears were left behind.

It's okay, Niuniu!

After wiping away his sister's tears, the little guy touched the bottom of his butt in confusion.

He clearly felt that the ground was soft just now, why did it suddenly become so hard.

Huzi, Niuniu?

The woman's somewhat anxious shout came from the left courtyard.

The little boy who was about to ask Xu Junming his identity suddenly got up from the ground.

Come on, if my wife knows that we sneaked here, she will definitely spank us.

After taking a look at Xu Junming, the little boy pulled his sister and ran straight towards the left courtyard wall.

A piece of the earth wall there collapsed due to disrepair. It was temporarily covered with haystacks made of licorice.

The little boy took the little girl, opened two haystacks, and slipped through them.

Judging from his actions, it was obviously not the first time.

Soon the sound of reprimands came from the left courtyard.

Xu Junming smiled and shook his head.

I looked up at the pomegranate tree. Although it had not become a spiritual seed, after nourishing it with the power of the Tao of Creation, it looked extraordinary.

No wonder he was coveted by that little guy.

In his last life, when he was still young, he often stole fruits from others.

Looking back on the past, I feel a lot of emotion.

He sighed slightly and suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his heart. With a casual move, the pomegranate picked by the little guy on the ground flew into his palm.

I peeled it open with my hands, and the pomegranate seeds inside were white and pink, large and round, and looked appetizing.

I picked up a few and tasted it sweet and sour. It is the best among ordinary fruits.

The taste is pretty good, but it's definitely not as good as the ones I grew in the Lingguo Garden.

With a smile on his face, he pushed open the unlocked door.

His room was simply furnished, except for the hall in the middle, the retreat room on the left, and the bedroom on the right.

And there were no beddings at all in the bedroom, just a few futons.

Although it has not been used for many years, it is still the same as when he left it. The tables, chairs and benches are also as clean as new and free of dust.

Apparently, his place is often cleaned.

interesting.

Xu Junming stretched out his hand to grasp it, and a wisp of light blue breath gathered in his palm.

After reciting a few words silently, a water mirror appeared three feet away, pouring light cyan aura into it. Ripples flickered in the water mirror, and a clear shadow appeared after a moment.

A beautiful woman wearing a light yellow dress, holding linen in her hand, cleaned the entire room bit by bit.

It turns out to be her!

Xu Junming originally thought he was from the Xuanjing Division, but he didn't expect it to be the demon fox named Hongyu.

Dong dong...!

There was a knock on the door, and with a sweep of consciousness, Xu Junming waved his sleeves, wiped away the water mirror in front of him, turned around, walked across the courtyard, and opened the door.

Standing outside was a young man wearing an old robe and a scribe's scarf, with two strands of long hair hanging from his temples. He looked elegant and steady.

Brother Xiangru, you are welcome and safe!

Xu Junming smiled and held his hands.

You...are you Xu Junming?

It's Xu.

Feng Xiangru looked at it for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.

Oh, it's indeed Brother Xu.

He just heard from the children that someone came into the east courtyard, and thought that this was the residence of his old friend. Although he had been away for many years, as a neighbor to the west, he had the obligation to guard the house for him, so he thought of coming over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the person who came back was Xu Junming, who had been gone for almost twelve years.

We haven't seen each other for many years. Brother Xiangru has become more and more refined.

Hi, compared to Brother Xu, I'm much older.

He grabbed Xu Junming's arm.

Come on, your sister-in-law has prepared dinner at home, and you will eat it at my house today.

After that, he pulled him towards his home.

Seeing how enthusiastic Feng Xiangru was, it was hard for him to shirk it.

Follow the other person into the house.

Huiniang, this is the one I told you. Our neighbor to the west is also my best friend Xu Junming!

A beautiful woman wearing an old lavender skirt glanced at Xu Junming and gathered her skirt as a courtesy.

I've met Mr. Xu!

Meet my sister-in-law.

Although Xu Junming's real age is over sixty, he still looks like a young man in his twenties.

Looking at the boy and the little girl who were nestling next to the woman, whom they had met once before, he smiled and said, Brother Xiangru, are these two your children?

If they hadn't been naughty and ran into your yard to steal pomegranates, I wouldn't have known you were back. Feng Xiangru said.

Huzi, Niuniu, come here quickly and pay homage to Uncle Xu.

The two little guys were very obedient and walked over quickly, saying in a playful voice.

Meet Uncle Xu.

Good boy.

Xu Junming put his hand into his sleeve, and when he took it out, there were two more amulets.

He made this temporarily with spiritual energy, and it is considered a magic weapon. However, there are blocking restrictions set by him on it. Unless you hold it in your hand and look at it with your spiritual sense, you can't see through it.

These two are the meeting gifts given to you by Uncle Xu, one for each of you.

The two amulets are about the size of walnuts, with a green dragon on one side and a purple flying phoenix on the other, with a silk thread woven by Xu Junming using spiritual energy on each.

Jun Ming, these two things are too precious, you should take them back.

The amulets are all made of jade. Although they don't look as good as those fine jade with pure texture, they are not bad either.

It's just a few pieces of jade, how can it compare to the friendship between me and brother Xiangru.

As he said this, he pushed Feng Xiangru's hand away and helped the two little guys take it on one by one.

Seeing his persistence, Feng Xiangru also knew that his friend was wealthy, so he did not stop him.

Why don't you thank Uncle Xu quickly?

Thank you Uncle Xu.

Hui Niang, go and cook some more dishes. Today I want to have a few drinks with Brother Xu.

The woman nodded and went down with the children.

Feng Xiangru took Xu Junming to the stone table in the yard and sat down, just like when he admired the moon eleven years ago.

Brother Xiangru, Feng Weng...?

Feng Xiangru's face showed a trace of sadness.

My father passed away two years ago.

That's it. My condolences to brother Xiangru.

It's okay. My father was healthy and painless when he passed away. He has no regrets seeing me getting married and starting a family.

Although Feng Weng was poor throughout his life, he was kind-hearted and upright. I believe he will be treated kindly by the King of Hell.

After Feng Xiangru nodded, Brother Xu, why haven't you heard from him for more than ten years?

Something happened in my family and I had to go far away. I just came back in the past few days.

Are you still leaving?

I'll be leaving in two or three days.

Still leaving?

I came here this time to visit brother Xiangru. Then I will go home with my family belongings.

Speaking of this, Xu Junming quickly changed the topic.

Brother Xiangru has inherited Feng Weng's business now?

Feng Xiangru waved his hand.

It's also luck. Not even a year after you left, the yamen recruited Bingbi, but he had no hope of success, so he signed up for a test, but he didn't expect to be admitted. So he has been making a living from this for many years. Although he is not rich, he can still eat Be well fed and warmly clothed.”

That's good! Seeing that brother Xiangru has a good wife and children, I can leave with peace of mind.

The two of them chatted while eating and didn't disperse until the evening.

When I got home, I just walked in the door.

Xu Junming stopped.

Come out.

A ray of cyan light flew from the corner and landed on the ground, transforming into a beautiful young lady wearing a cyan dress.

Hongyu pays homage to Master Chongshan!

He glanced at her and said, The twelfth level of the golden elixir. It seems that you have been practicing diligently over the years.

Thanks to the real person for giving me the medicine, otherwise the little demon would never have the cultivation level he has now. Hongyu said quickly.

He nodded slightly.

You are the one cleaning my house?

yes.

Why not use magic?

Hongyu looked stunned, she didn't expect Xu Junming even knew this.

The little demon is afraid that the evil spirit will pollute the real person's place of pure cultivation.

After glancing at her, Xu Junming waved his hand and a porcelain bottle flew into her hand.

There are three spiritual pills here, which can increase your chances of winning through the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Hongyu looked overjoyed and quickly bowed.

Thank you, Master, for the medicine.

He waved his sleeves.

Go ahead. You don't have to come back again.

Look at her shocked look.

Xu Junming glanced across the courtyard and said slowly: This is a temporary residence, and I will not come back in the future. So you don't have to clean it again.

Having said that, regardless of what Hongyu thought, she stepped open the door and entered the house.

The latter looked at the closed door, gathered her skirt as a gift, thanked her, and then flew away.

Xu Junming, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the retreat room, opened his eyes and looked at the direction Hong Yu was leaving.

This fox is really stubborn.

Judging from the look in her eyes when she left, it was clear that she had not taken his words into her heart.

He shook his head, it was just a small thing. If she is willing to continue cleaning, let her clean. If there is no accident in the future, he will not come back.
