In the rest of the journey, everything went smoothly, but after getting the news of the alien invasion, everyone's mood was a little heavy. As students of the Dao Academy, of course they knew the seriousness of this kind of thing, and if they didn't do it, there would be a bloody storm in the Nine Heavens Domain.

Four days later, the group finally saw the general outline of the city from a distance. At this time, a team of light horsemen drove out of the city and rushed in the direction of Chen Yuan and his party. In front of the carriage, the leading squad leader reined in the war horse, took off his helmet, and revealed his true face, Xiao Wanqing opened the curtain and saw that it was Yang Xuan.

"Brother Yang, why are you here?" Chen Yuan glanced out and asked in some surprise.

"Miss, Brother Chenyuan, you can be regarded as coming back, the city lord received your message, specially sent me to guard the city gate, I saw two carriages from a distance, I knew it was you. Yang Xuan said with a smile.

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that Xiao Wanqing released a letter kite at noon, presumably mentioning the approximate arrival time of several people in the letter, and the city lord sent Yang Xuan to greet him.

"Then let's go into town. Xiao Wanqing said, Yang Xuan nodded, turned the horse's head, and ordered the cavalry to disperse and escort the two carriages into the city.

"Grandpa!" As soon as she arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Wanqing got out of the carriage and rushed towards the old man standing at the door, and suddenly threw herself into the old man's arms, shouting.

"Hahaha, my good granddaughter is back, do you miss your grandfather?" the old man grabbed Xiao Wanqing, touched Xiao Wanqing's head, and asked with a smile. Xiao Wanqing nodded heavily, and the smile on the old man's face became even stronger.

"Lord of the Castle. Yang Xuan turned over and dismounted and saluted the old man, and Chen Yuan and the others also got out of the carriage and saluted the city lord with him.

Seeing Chen Yuan, who had not been seen for half a year, Xiao Lie's eyes couldn't help but light up, compared to the young man who was relatively young half a year ago and knew nothing about the Nine Heavens, Chen Yuan had experienced the baptism between life and death in the past half a year, and had obtained a large number of auxiliary cultivation materials in the Taoist Academy, and broke through the power of his own cultivation to the Shuangxuan realm.

So Xiao Lie, who has a good eye, saw the great progress of Chen Yuan at a glance, to say that Chen Yuan was just a piece of gold and jade, like a sword in the sheath, the edge is not obvious, then the current Chen Yuan is already a small carving, the first edge, and there is a faint strong temperament on the body, which is not the same as before.

"It seems that you have gained a lot in the past six months after entering the Taoist Academy! At the beginning, I thought you were unusual, but now I see that you are a hidden dragon in the abyss, a milk tiger roaring in the valley, and you are extraordinary. For Chen Yuan, Xiao Lie did not hesitate to praise him.

"The city lord praised it, the kid's qualifications are still shallow, and he really can't afford these beautiful words. Chen Yuan waved his hand again and again, and said modestly.

"What is there to be humble, the Eight Palaces of the Daoist Academy, there are a total of one hundred and seventy-six freshman students, all of whom are the top geniuses in the major acropolis, but you can defeat the heroes in the academy competition and win the title of the champion of the freshman group, if you can't afford to be extraordinary, then what kind of face do those of us who are still called geniuses have this name?" Xiao Wanqing raised her head from Xiao Lie's arms and said to Chen Yuan a little speechlessly.

"Daoist Academy, the first in the freshman group?" Xiao Lie asked with some surprise.

"It's just a fluke. Seeing that Xiao Wanqing also lifted out her old bottom, Chen Yuan had to say with a wry smile.

"It's really a hero out of a teenager. You have been admitted to the Military Palace, I don't know what your plans will be after graduation? Do you want to return to Weiqing City? As long as you come, my position as the commander of the Weiqing City Guards will be reserved for you. Xiao Lie sighed heartily, and then asked, when will such a talent not be recruited now?

"Thank you for the city lord's love, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the city lord, the teacher asked me to join the army after graduation, guard the coast of the endless sea and accumulate military merits, I don't think I will return to Xiaoqing City to develop. Chen Yuan said apologetically.

"It's old and abrupt, a talent like you really shouldn't be partial to Qingqing City, and should make a greater contribution to my Youtian Domain. Hearing Chen Yuan's answer, Xiao Lie was a little regretful, but he had already been mentally prepared, after all, for a student with outstanding performance like Xiang Chenyuan, the Daoist Academy should have already made arrangements, he just tried it with the psychology of picking up leaks, and the result was completely expected.

Standing outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Yuan chatted with Xiao Lie for a few words, then said goodbye to the City Lord and Xiao Wanqing, and galloped towards Linxing Village with two carriages. Although Xiao Wanqing and Xiao Lie tried their best to stay, hoping that he would stay and have dinner together, Chen Yuan still politely declined, and when he returned to the territory of Weiqing City, he was like an arrow, and he didn't want to stay for a moment, he just wanted to return to that familiar small village.

The sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and the rusts of the carriages squeaking over the uneven paths, could not help but alarm the small villages where smoke had risen.

Two magnificently styled, like carriages from the city, slowly stopped at the entrance of the village, and several families at the head of the village looked out of their yards in surprise, and some children playing at the entrance of the village also poked their heads out and looked at the two carriages curiously.

Tatsumoto stepped out of the carriage and told the coachman to wait where he was, while he walked into the village. "Chen Yuan is back! Uncle, go and inform the old village chief, this baby is finally back, or from the Taoist Academy, it is really a big deal, and he still has two carriages!"

"That's not it, this kid is smart and sensible when he is young, and that clever is not comparable to ordinary children!"

"Chen Yuan, what is the Taoist Academy like, what can you learn when you go?"

"How are you getting along with your classmates, is Youtian City bigger than Yunqing City?"

"Speaking of which, Chen Yuan is also thirteen or fourteen years old, and he can also be said to be a daughter-in-law, and my second girl is not a few years older than him, I don't know if I can find a matchmaker and talk about it. ”

"Okay, aren't all female students in the Taoist Academy like fairy daughters, can Chen Yuan's child take a fancy to your second girl?"

"What if you look at the right eye?"

"I think you want to be the in-laws of Second Brother Mu, and you want to be blind!"

······

Chen Yuan came back The news swept the entire village at a wind-like speed, and the uncles and aunts in the village surrounded them, asking this and that, and there were more and more people, Chen Yuan faced the enthusiastic villagers, and he didn't know which question to answer first, so he wisely chose to keep silent.

After a while, the savior came. "Let one go, let one go! The old village chief is here. In the crowd, a voice came from behind. Everyone hurriedly cleared a road, revealing Mu Yuanshan's family behind the crowd.

Hearing that his baby grandson was back, Mu Yuanshan hurriedly ran out on crutches, if it weren't for Mu Qingfeng's quick support, the old man was in a hurry, and he was afraid that he would fall on his heels.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Chen Yuan sank his knees and knelt down towards Mu Yuanshan. Mu Yuanshan hurriedly threw away his crutches, helped Chen Yuan up, and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back! You haven't been bullied in the Taoist Academy, right? If someone bullies you, you tell your grandfather, and your grandfather will have to ask him for an explanation if he gives up this old life!"

"Don't worry, grandpa, the teachers and classmates of the Taoist Academy are very good to me and have taught me a lot of things. Chen Yuan stood up and helped Mu Yuanshan on the side, Mu Yuanshan, who had lost his crutches, was a little unstable on his feet, and Chen Yuan steadily dragged his grandfather's right hand and temporarily acted as Mu Yuanshan's crutches.

Mu Qingyun returned the lost crutches to Mu Yuanshan's hand, and Mu Yuanshan walked to the left, giving up the main seat to Mu Qingfeng and his wife. "Daddy, I'm back. As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, he was greeted with a big hug.

"Good boy! It's strong again, it seems that the Daoist Academy is indeed a good place to shape talents, and it's more like a man than before leaving!" Mu Qingfeng laughed and gave Chen Yuan a big hug, and when he raised his right hand and wanted to touch Chen Yuan's head, he felt that his son had grown up and was no longer suitable for this action, so he paused and patted Chen Yuan's shoulder, looking at his son who hadn't seen him for half a year, Mu Qingfeng was obviously very happy.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, I miss my mother!" Without Mu Qingfeng's scruples, Chen Yuan's mother still held Chen Yuan in her arms as usual, rubbed Chen Yuan's head and said.

"I miss you too, mother. "Chen Yuan just finished speaking, but his stomach made a sound, a day of hurrying, Chen Yuan did not eat much, when he arrived at Linxing Village, it was already close to dusk, so Chen Yuan, who was too late to worship the Five Organs Temple, was already protesting on the way.

"You kid, I don't miss your mother, I miss your mother's craftsmanship!" Mu Qingyun, who was on the side, teased.

"I want to think about it all!" Chen Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassed and explained with a red face.

"Hahaha!" the surrounding villagers let out a good-natured laugh. Chen Yuan came back, the villagers were very interested, they all wanted to hear about the Youtian City and the Taoist Academy, as well as Chen Yuan's experience in the past six months, and they didn't want to disperse, as the village head, Mu Yuanshan simply decided to hold a big gathering in the open space at the entrance of the village, and the whole village participated.

So every household in Linxing Village was busy, taking out their own treasured bacon, fruit wine, and some hunters set up a fire at the entrance of the village, fragrant roe, elk, musk pig and other foods suitable for roasting were arranged in a row in the open space, rattan chairs and wooden tables, pots and pans, all kinds of materials, were moved to the entrance of the village by the villagers, the villagers performed their duties, the men moved the ingredients and tables and chairs, and the women were in charge of their own spoons, showing their best dishes.

All kinds of dishes are constantly being served to the table, everyone is laughing at the table, adults are chatting, and children are wandering around the tables, looking for their favorite food, Chen Yuan's return, obviously the entire village of Linxing Village has fallen into a state of excitement.

The coachman waiting at the entrance of the village was also pulled into the seat by Chen Yuan, and he was a little restrained at first, but after a while, he was rendered by the enthusiasm of the villagers, and his face was flushed with drink, which was the powerful contagion of the most simple emotions.

After eating and drinking, Chen Yuan did not forget to distribute the gifts he brought back from Youtian City to everyone one by one when he introduced the Dao Monastery and his experience in the past six months to the villagers and elders.

The crutches for Mu Yuanshan, the jade wrench finger for Mu Qingfeng, the hard bow and crossbow for Mu Qingyun, the toys for his sister, etc., each gift may not be very valuable, but Chen Yuan took a lot of effort to choose them one by one, so he was deeply loved by the villagers.

Looking at the smiles from the bottom of his heart after they got the gifts, Chen Yuan also smiled, seeing the smiles of the villagers was the real purpose of his buying these things.
