As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, I left Hangzhou and returned to Yangcheng, and only after talking to the second senior brother did I know what they thought.

I have to say that the age span between me and the senior brother and the second senior brother is too big, and when I was in the mountains, because of the simplicity of the environment, the gap between our thoughts was actually very small, and there was basically no change.

But after going down the mountain, the environment around us became complicated, and our thinking changed dramatically, the senior brother was in his forties, and the second senior brother was in his thirties, they had the idea of starting a family, they were not willing to be poor, but they did not have the ability to make a living in society, or the normal ability to make a living was not enough for them to live a rich life, so they violated the master's teachings and used Taoism and magic to earn money.

Is it because they don't know the consequences, no, they're not rookies who have just gone up the mountain to cultivate, they are quite accomplished cultivators, but they just made a choice.

Maybe this is because people have their own aspirations, and although I oppose this in my heart, I have no reason to blame them, because our thinking is no longer the same, and the things we think are completely different.

After the Lantern Festival, the society is no different from usual, and even many people have been working for more than a week, and the shops on the street have also opened, full of vitality.

On the first day I returned to Yangcheng, Gu Nian drove over to pick me up and went to Gu's house for a meal, the purpose was to give Mrs. Gu a New Year's greeting, after all, she was an elder.

Mrs. Gu still doesn't like me, but her attitude is much better than before, at least she won't shake her face in person, rarely, she also talked about some things with the master, I only know that Mrs. Gu and the master have known each other for more than fifty years, and there are quite a few stories.

"My grandmother's temper is like this, Xuanji, don't you care"

Before leaving, Gu Nian sent me and said to me.

"It's okay, Miss Gu, I didn't take it to heart"

"That's good, about grandma, there is one more thing I want to tell you, my grandma is preparing for a birthday grave, and she hopes that you can participate"

"Shou Tomb?"

"It's a living tomb, prepare the grave in advance, we have been persuading for a long time, but we can't persuade it, my grandmother has her own money, she can find someone by herself, she can't stop it at all, she can only obey her will"

Gu Nian replied, the old lady is majestic in the Gu family, and she can't be persuaded at all, and she doesn't need to rely on other people's snorts, she still has a lot of private money, and if she can't do it, she can spend her own money to find someone to do it, so the Gu family can only cooperate.

I nodded, I know that the living tomb was once very popular in the area of Dulong Mountain, and there were many reasons for the rise of the living tomb, at first because of feng shui problems, many old people could not find the auspicious time to be buried after they died, and it was hindering their descendants to bury in a hurry, so it was necessary to prepare the grave in advance, and then wait for the old man to die before operating.

There is also the reason that there are many people and little land, the mountains and fields near a village and town are limited, and the acupuncture points of good feng shui are also limited, and the elderly are mostly afraid that there will be no good feng shui burial after death, so what to do, fight for it in advance, so the tomb of the living has become prosperous.

Later, it was completely chaotic, and it became a way to show off wealth, and the countryside saw who had no money, not only to see the house and car, but also to see whether the living tombs prepared for the elderly were big or not, and whether they were good or not, which caused a large number of social contradictions and was banned.

However, Mrs. Gu's side is estimated to be affected by the factors of the Chen family, although I have explained many times that the prosperity of the Chen family has no decisive factor in the feng shui of the Chen family's ancestral home, but Mrs. Gu does not accept it.

So she has to find a good feng shui for herself to make a tomb in advance, it must be the kind of good feng shui of the Li family, if she can find the dragon vein, it will be better, the plan is very big.

Of course, this may also be my personal speculation, but this matter is not a violation for me, so I will not refuse.

"Thank you, Xuanji, thank you for always supporting me"

Gu Nian was overjoyed when she saw that I agreed, after experiencing the incident of the Luo family in Sucheng, Gu Nian was full of vigilance for people like feng shui masters, not reliable people, she didn't dare to invite at all, for fear of meeting bad people.

Then Gu Nian sent me home, I cleaned overnight, and I was busy until midnight before resting, and the next morning, Xu Lin came to me, and he only returned to Yangcheng for two or three days, Xu Lin sent me a lot of specialties, mainly bacon and sausages.

In addition to Xu Lin to send special products, he came to pour bitter water, and went home for the New Year this year, in less than 20 days, Xu Lin participated in more than 30 blind dates, needless to say, every time was a failure.

"Xuanji, let me tell you, my mentality has collapsed now, do you know what the reason for my rejection is, height, education...

Xu Lin complained one by one, some people dislike his height of 1.72 meters is not tall enough, it is often 1.75 meters or even 17.8 meters or more, and some people dislike his college education.

"Now that the blind date requirements are so high, what kind of rich daughters are you looking at?"

After listening to Xu Lin's words, I was taken aback, no, when I was in Dulong Mountain, I also heard people under the mountain talk about blind dates, many of them went out to work after graduating from junior high school, and the conditions were much worse than Xu Lin's, and people still married wives.

"What a rich girl, this is where I'm angry, Xuanji, I'll tell you..."

When Xu Lin heard it, he exploded, if he was disgusted by a rich girl, then forget it, the key is that most of the people who dislike him are not as good as him, such as those who dislike his height, he is only a little more than one meter and a half, and he who dislikes his work is just an ordinary job, saying that he is a white-collar worker in an office building, but his income is not as good as one-third of his, and he dislikes that he has no house or car, and he doesn't even have a deposit.

"Okay, I understand, make good money this year, buy a house, buy a car, buy a few better clothes when the time comes, clean yourself up, how can you not marry a wife"

Listening to Xu Lin vent a lot of negative emotions, I think it's almost, it's not a big deal, as long as Xu Lin doesn't have idleness, no vices such as gambling, and earns money seriously, he will definitely not be without a wife.

"No, no blind date, I want to be in love freely, I want to chase Feifei"

"Okay, support you, you come on"

I patted Xu Lin on the shoulder, although I was not optimistic about Xu Lin chasing Zhang Feifei, but I couldn't beat his morale.

"If you support me, you'll help, ask Fei Fei out"

"You want to chase the girl yourself, and you want me to help you?"

"That's for sure, Brother Xuanji, please, I have no reason, you ask Xuanxuan to come out, and bring her classmates by the way, isn't it logical?"

"Don't do it"

"My brother, the happiness of the little brother is in your hands..."

Xu Lin kept grinding and soaking, and I was annoyed by what he said, so I had to agree.

Xuanxuan decisively went to the appointment, we didn't set up a stall this night, but made an appointment to eat, Xuanxuan still brought two classmates, one is Li Hongying and the other is Zhang Feifei.

Zhang Feifei looked even more beautiful than last year, and the makeup on her face was very exquisite, which made Xu Lin's eyes light up and her heart rippled again.

After eating, Xu Lin proposed to sing, and several girls had no opinion, I didn't really want to go, but I didn't bring it up, I didn't want to spoil the fun at this time, but I slipped out when they were singing.

"Xuanji, you don't like singing?"

"If the five tones are incomplete, there will be no shame"

I smiled and said, at this point, the three of us are estimated to be about the same, and basically can't sing.

"I can teach you if you can't sing, it's very simple"

"No need, let's not join in the fun, give Xu Lin a chance"

"What chance, which one did he fancy it?"

"Zhang Feifei"

"Feifei, no, Xu Lin can't catch up"

Xuanxuan shook her head when she heard this, Zhang Feifei She knows very well, she is a person who yearns for a petty bourgeois life, little Bourgeois has a strong heart, what she likes is romance, Xu Lin is also a very boring straight man, not the one Zhang Feifei likes at all.

"Maybe there will be a miracle?"

"Xuanji, this is impossible, the temperament of two people is completely different, it is possible to be a friend, there is no hope of falling in love, you still have to persuade Xu Lin, don't waste time and energy"

"I've persuaded it several times, it doesn't make sense, let's talk to Zhang Feifei and cut off Xu Lin's mind as soon as possible."

I replied, I have persuaded it several times, but Xu Lin couldn't figure out what to do, so I could only let Zhang Feifei take the initiative to break Xu Lin's mind.

"Okay, I'll give it a try"

"Thank you very much, then"

"Don't talk about Xu Lin, what about you, Xuanji, what are your plans for this year?"

"I don't know yet, I guess it's still the same."

I shook my head, at present, I still focus on cultivation, and by the way, I earn some money to support myself, I am not like the senior brother and the second senior brother, the purpose is clear, and this is also my embarrassment.

"Xuanji, you're still very young, haven't you thought about enjoying the happiness of young people, such as travel, love, or something?"

"Thought"

"Really, then why haven't you done yet?"

"Because I thought about it again, it wasn't for me"

"What's not suitable, you're also a mortal in the flesh, you're not a god, and you also said you don't want to take the ordination."

"It's not because of this, it's that there's still a lot of work to be done, and I'm busy"

I shook my head, I carefully counted the things I had to do, there were too many, cultivation was definitely necessary, I still had to practice martial arts, I had to set up a stall, I had to seal the magic knife, I had to find a way to find Xu Wenzhao to take revenge, I still had to collect the Heavenly Master's order, I had to investigate the master's affairs, there were too many things one by one, how could I have so much time to do anything else.
