The Xu family, the sad relatives of this year.

Seeing Mu Qing coming back, he brought a man he didn't know, Xu Yizhi, Xu Erzhi sisters, Xu Da and other four brothers all smiled strongly.

A few people sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Mu Qing glanced at Ximen Shang and said: "Two sisters, four brothers, this old brother is named Ximen Shang, he is very obsessed with the art of juggling, he has also learned some fur since he was a child, and he wants to join the Xu family class to learn and practice, I don't know what you think?" He's the class leader now.

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Ximen Shang, was stunned.

Ximen Shang is not stupid, although he is surprised at the moment, he will not talk much.

Xu Da looked at Sister Xu Yizhi, and after receiving an approving response, he said, "The person recommended by Brother Yang is no problem. ”

Mu Qing smiled slightly, and said, "Originally, I planned to follow the team to the tour, but ...... There's still something waiting for me......"

Hearing this, Xu Erzhi immediately stood up and said with a shocked face: "Brother Yang, are you leaving?"

Xu Yizhi also looked suspicious, and a little crystal suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Mu Qing said: "Sister, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly." ”

After the second daughter sat down, Mu Qing said: "I really have something to do, but I can't go far, and when you come back for the New Year every year in the future, I will come to meet with you and celebrate the New Year together." ”

The second daughter and Mu Qing have been together for half a year, and they guessed something about him, although they guessed wrong, but they also knew that their "Brother Yang" had something important in their hearts that could not be known to others. Moreover, when Mu Qing came back this time, it gave people a completely different feeling, and the tone of her speech changed.

Hearing Mu Qing say this, the second daughter was inconvenient to say more, so she had to nod slightly.

Xu Yizhi took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears.

Xu Erzhi said: "Brother Yang, no matter what you do, you have to be more careful. ”

......

After coming out of Xujia Village, Ximen Shang followed a few steps to Mu Qing's side, and said tentatively: "Senior, you asked me to follow these mortals...... It's ......"

Mu Qing stopped and glared at him, although there was no spiritual power, but the momentum of the great cultivator in the late stage of Lingyuan was vigorous, which frightened Ximen Shang and shrank his neck.

Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "Ximen Shang, this is a test given to you by the deity!"

"The juniors understand, the juniors understand. Ximen Shang hurriedly agreed. As for whether he really understood, he himself didn't know.

Mu Qing said again: "This test is to test your heart, it seems simple, but it is not easy. ”

"Senior...... The little stupid, please also ask the seniors to ......"

"In the future, you will follow the Xu family class, not only to protect their safety, but also not to let them know that you are a monk, understand?"

Ximen Shang seemed to understand, nodded and said, "What do you mean by senior...... Is it secretly their bodyguard?"

Mu Qing said: "You can also understand it this way. However, there is more to it than that. ”

After a pause, he said: "They will return here every year for the Chinese New Year, and when the time comes, you will go to the village to wait for me, I will listen to your report, and reward you according to your completion!"

When Ximen Shang heard the word "reward", he didn't care about pondering what the "deep meaning" in Mu Qing's mouth was, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said busily: "The little one will definitely not let the seniors down." ”

Mu Qing said again: "According to your cultivation speed, you will be able to reach the Great Consummation of the late stage of Enlightenment in a few years, and when the time comes, I will give you the Spirit Movement Pill! As for whether you can successfully advance, it depends on your creation!"

Simon Shang was overjoyed and thankful again.

So, Mu Qing packed up his mood and returned to Heifeng Mountain, while Ximen Shang poked up a grass hut at the head of the village and stayed there temporarily......

......

For Ximen Shang, Mu Qing has no good feelings.

Father Xu's death can be said to be an indirect victim. But the opportunity for him to "return to the immortal path" was also promoted because of him.

The entanglement of fate and law and the cycle of cause and effect are not clear in the first place. And Mu Qing now, as if she is out of entanglement, she can see more clearly and thoroughly.

Therefore, Mu Qing asked Ximen Shang to protect the Xu family class instead of him, giving him a chance to atone for his sins, and he was indeed ready to give him some opportunities, but this relationship between him and himself. As for whether he can grasp it, it is not for Mu Qing to consider.

Ruodeng Avenue, break the catastrophe with fate.

This is the path that the monks have to take......

It is Mu Qing's, and it is also Ximen Shang's......

......

Wearing the white fox fur collar cloak sewn by the Xu family sisters themselves, and bringing enough water and dry food, Mu Qing returned to the cave. At this time, he can't open the valley, and he still has to eat more or less before he fully recovers and truly "returns to the immortal path".

Mu Qing didn't take the nirvana gun away. He found a boulder of tens of thousands of catties, put it at the entrance of the village, and inserted the nirvana spear with the head of the gun pointing upwards. The purpose is to deter mountain bandits and horse thieves who may appear in the future.

......

In fact, Mu Qing is now in retreat and can't cultivate. It's just that he needs a period of time to sort out his mind, regain and stabilize his "fairy heart" that he once lost and is now sprouting again.

......

The bell is in the meditation, concentrating on the cultivation of enlightenment.

Mu Qing sat cross-legged not far from him and began to meditate and meditate......

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and on the night of February 15, the "City of the Phantom Moon" appeared again. Mu Qing sat cross-legged on the platform again, shrouded in the moonlight, and the bell turned into a mink and climbed up the crook of his legs......

The days flew by, a year had passed, and after Mu Qing had bathed in the moonlight twelve times, the spiritual root in her body had become vibrant.

Mu Qing and Ling went out of the customs together, went to meet Ximen Shang, and listened to him report on the situation of Xu's class this year.

Chinese New Year's Eve On this day, the three of them went to Xu's house together, ate Chinese New Year's Eve rice and dumplings made by Xu Yizhi and Xu Erzhi sisters, and stayed up late to keep watch for the New Year like ordinary people......

In the dim light, Xu Yizhi and Xu Erzhi are still pretty, but they are a little more weather......

......

Time flies, time flies.

Soon, five years passed.

When bathing in the moonlight this time, Mu Qing suddenly let out a loud shout, which frightened the bell and fled away.

The spiritual power fluctuations and holy power fluctuations that should have belonged to the late stage of the Lingyuan Dynasty burst out at the same time, and the entire cave trembled......

The bell happily forgot to transform into a human form, jumped up and down in the form of a purple cloud marten, and cheered: "Success! Success!"

......

After a lapse of seven years, Mu Qing once again felt the surging spiritual power and holy power in his body, once again felt the aura of heaven and earth in the air, and once again felt the joy of his divine consciousness spreading out and taking in the surrounding scenes......

Looking inward, although the Lingyuan Demon Fox was in a state of vain and unstable, it was also sitting in the Xianfu dantian, and the expression on his face was the same as Mu Qing's, which was generally ecstatic.

However, somehow, this ecstasy only lasted for a short moment, and Mu Qing's mood quickly became calm and indifferent......

This sudden change in emotion, even Mu Qing herself was a little surprised, as if another emotion suddenly poured into her heart, diluting this joy. To be more precise, it was the joy in front of her, Mu Qing actually looked down on it for a moment......

The bell was still cheering, but Mu Qing had already restrained her smile, and a trace of enlightenment was like a pillar of light shooting into her mind......

"Daddy Xu, thank you......"

Mu Qing spit out a sentence lightly.

He finally figured out why his emotions had such a strange change, and there was only one reason, that is, this "mortal journey" was infected by Father Xu, who was a mortal......

He is small, but he is magnificent......

He is fragile, but powerful......

He is powerless to control his own destiny, but he lives every day seriously, and strives to live every day as a "spirit and spirit"......

He was humiliated, but he did not deal with malice......

He is gracious to others, but he does not expect anything in return......

His heart should have been full of anger, but it was as clear as a glass of light wine......

......

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself...... Although you are a mortal, Mu Qing is far inferior to you in this realm. Benefiting a lot...... Thank you again......" Thinking about this, Mu Qing said this sentence in her heart.
