In the face of Zheng Nanzhu's unexpected praise, Zheng Yan still couldn't react, did the sun really come out of the west today? The initiator had already walked in the direction of the ancestral hall, Zheng Yan looked at Xingshuang, Xingshuang nodded in agreement, and followed, Zheng Yan stood in place and laughed at himself, he seemed to have some courage to stand up to the sky and the earth by their trouble, it seems that the spiritual and will cultivation is still not enough.

On the steps in front of the ancestral hall, there are two gray-clothed old men, one is calm and calm, the other is solemn and quiet, one is standing with his hands folded and the other with his hands down, both of them are clan elders of the same generation as Grandpa Jinchen, one is called Zheng Jinguan and the other is called Zheng Jinchao.

The clan elders in the Zheng clan are generally divided into three situations, one is to be stationed in the city to serve in affairs like Grandpa Jin Chen, assisting the patriarch in handling the affairs of the clan, one is to serve the ancestors in the ancestral hall like the two in front of him, responsible for the inheritance of the clan and the teaching of the school, and the other is like Zheng Yan's grandfather stationed in a village, and the rest is to protect the clan except for his own cultivation and guidance to the younger generations on weekdays.

The former type has no requirements for cultivation, mainly based on ability to determine positions, and the latter two are mostly people who have their own unique perceptions of cultivation above the ground level, and there are even many people who are already at the apex of this cultivation world in the realm of the heavenly level, such as the two old people in front of them, such as the grandfather who is a generation lower than them, and the grandfather of Jin Chen.

There are really many such people in the Zheng family, and this is also the confidence to be able to guard this place with the strength of a clan.

The three of them saw the old man on the stone steps come forward and salute in unison, and the kind old man called Zheng Jinguan nodded with a smile, looked at Zheng Yan and said gently, "The patriarch was originally waiting for you here, but he left for a while, and when he left, he ordered that you don't have to go to see him, he will look for you tomorrow when he has time."

Zheng Yan bowed down to express his understanding, the old man encouraged Xingshuang a few more words, and then Xingshuang followed the old man named Zheng Jinchao to a side hall, Zheng Yan followed the old man in front of him into the ancestral hall, Zheng Nanzhu's home was in another village, but he didn't leave, standing in the open space and looking at the mountains in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Under the guidance of Grandpa Jinguan, Zheng Yan simply gave the ancestors and ancestors incense, and the old man smiled and asked Zheng Yan to go back to his grandfather, and reminded Zheng Yan to go back to the back kitchen to bring some wine and meat back, Zheng Yan was going to buy some food when he left Yiwangcheng, but he estimated that his grandfather was either not there or he didn't prepare anything, and he didn't know what his life was like, but he wasn't sure if he would participate in the trial, and he didn't know how many people would have to buy a few people's rations for a few days, so he was ready to come back in a few days.

Grandpa may be used to the days of the emperor who comes to the clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth, and the Hui land has not adapted to it for more than 30 years, and the life is very sloppy, and the living queen mother and concubines either go back to their parents' homes or follow their sons and daughters, and none of them come to live with him, being the emperor is a lonely person, not being an emperor is still a lonely person, so there are still so many people vying to be the emperor.

After thanking and saying goodbye to a few clan elders, Zheng Yan took his things back to the village, Xingshuang had been waiting at the door, there was no Xingben Sword in his hand, and he seemed to be really a little lost, that is, pretending to be indifferent and mature in front of outsiders.

On the way, Zheng Yan gave Xingshuang the sleeve knife that came from the ruler and the long sword prepared by Xinluo when he set off, as well as a dagger cast by Ouchi, and it is always appropriate to bring some gifts to the younger brothers and sisters at home when they go out, Xingshuang first said that he had prepared it, but Zheng Yan insisted on accepting it, and asked Zheng Yan with a smile What is the reason, Zheng Yan said angrily that it is difficult to be a dowry, which made the girl very disgusted, and finally smiled and said that if you really can't hide, then take the initiative to ask the patriarch for yourself.

Zheng Yan didn't think much about it, and said with a smile that a few weapons can get the heart of a big beauty, it seems that he will have to save more belongings in the future, Xingshuang actually explained what he saw and heard on the road very seriously, most of the men with groups of wives and concubines have strong financial resources, after all, raising wives and concubines still depends on real money, not just love, but also taught Zheng Yan that he should indeed learn to buy a family business, and marry a lot of wives and concubines to open up branches and leaves for the family, Zheng Yan doesn't understand this guy's seriousness, or he just doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks.

Approaching the village, there was smoke in the chimneys of every house, Zheng Yan looked at the row of slightly deserted houses in the northwest corner and shook his head helplessly, thinking about whether to go to Xingshuang's house for a meal today, the figure of an old man in gray suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, and the next moment the old man had already arrived in front of the two, first greeted Xingshuang kindly, and then looked left and right with a happy face, and then he was a little disappointed, and asked suspiciously, "Where is the moon girl Luo girl?"

The corners of Zheng Yan's mouth twitched, and he didn't have a good breath, "I think you are sloppy and don't want to come",

The old man was stunned for a moment, looked up to the sky and sighed and walked towards the village with his hands behind his back.

Xingshuang went back to his home, Zheng Yan followed his grandfather back to his home in the northwest corner of the village, the yard is very large, and there are four spare rooms in a row with three main houses, except for the kitchen granary, there are two rooms left that can be inhabited, just look at the broken windows to know that no one lives at all, there is a row of firewood houses and wing rooms in the west, the same dilapidated, Zheng Yan remembered that when he came back two years ago, his grandfather specially renovated it once, but he didn't expect it to be like this again in just two years.

Zheng Yan couldn't help but ask, "Have you been outside again in the past two years?

Zheng Qi hummed a little song with his hands, and had already put aside the loss that Yingyue Xinluo had not come, and said angrily when he heard the words: "Do you let an old bachelor guard a small mountain village and live in a broken yard to the ground? Your grandfather is also a person who is used to seeing prosperity, how can he be poor and lonely alone? Of course, he is going to go to the world for a while, and being an emperor will be more like a prisoner than a prisoner in a prison." Good grandson, grandpa told you that you must marry a Dongou daughter-in-law in the future, that is called a water spirit delicate, pinch a handful as if you can pinch out the water, there is a saying, the body is delicate, fat and jade, delicate and shy eyes",

Zheng Yan disagreed, "Let's pull it, I've already calculated it, Yingyue Xinluo, count one or two more on the clan land, and Da Nei will give Zhang Luo another one, never more than five." Having said that, when you were in power, didn't people say that you were solemn and mighty? Why did you abdicate and fly more and more? This is a completely opposite direction!",

Zheng Qi's face was full of schadenfreude, "Don't talk about your grandfather and me, do you think you want to marry a few? Naive, it can be regarded as a blessing to your father, your physical qualifications and blood strength are good, I am not surprised that they just find you twenty or thirty women, to put it bluntly, I want you to have a baby, how many can be born, and you don't think about how to fight and delay when the time comes, this is a loss to them, Kaiyuan Nanzhu They are now unwilling to marry a wife and have children, do you think with the intelligence of those guys will make a second mistake?" So they will definitely arrange for you before your little dolls grow up and can fight with them, of course they won't be strong, then you are underestimating them too much, I ask you, if you give you Star Frost, will you refuse?",

Zheng Yan entered the kitchen and began to prepare a hot meal, and said while working, "I shouldn't refuse, I can't say it, after all, there are her parents and aunt, and your friendship is there, and neither of us hates each other."

Zheng Qi tore off a big chicken leg from the oilpaper bag and said proudly, "Feelings are the most difficult thing to grasp, especially for you half-grown children who are not mentally mature, and you are not the kind of person with a strong heart, let me ask you again, can you leave Yingyue Xinluo to practice with peace of mind or do something big?"

Zheng Yan glared and shouted, "Of course it can't be",

The old man crossed his legs and spread his arms to indicate that everything was clear at a glance,

Zheng Yan thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, are you saying that they will arrange girls to our side, and slowly cultivate their feelings first, and even if they don't do anything, we will be obedient?

The old man suddenly said with emotion, "I miss your grandfather, I have sixteen sons in my life, and now I have more than eighty grandchildren, and the key is that there are not a few mediocre talents, the clan will definitely not restrict you from marrying wives and raising children, obediently, how many great-grandchildren will you have to develop like this?!"

Zheng Yan said angrily: "You can entertain yourself, forget it, don't bring us." By the way, grandpa, when did you come back? Did you hear that they arranged for me to have a daughter-in-law?",

The old man began to gloat again, "Didn't you say that you recognized their arrangement? What are you doing with these? Why, I want to know if it is the person you like? Let grandpa guess, Qianqian, Xiao'e, or Yujing? Could it be Xuelai or Xiaolin?"

Zheng Yan didn't want to talk to him, so he simply shut up and didn't speak, and then suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously, "Grandpa, have you seen Fengyi recently?"

Zheng Mu laughed when he heard this, patted Zheng Yan's shoulder with his greasy big hand and smiled happily, "It is worthy of being my Zheng Qi's grandson, the vision is hard to get, if you are looking for a woman, you have to find a woman like Feng Yi, the waist can not be too thin, a little plump, but it must be tight, of course the butt must be big and warped, the legs are long and the chest is big, this is not to say, the shoulders, the length of the fit, yes, that's it, you look at this word, or you have to be a literati, the face and eyebrows, beautiful and refined, bright and hazy, this is the so-called amorous variety, understand?" Back then, your grandfather was fascinated by this woman, but unfortunately he didn't look down on me, what kind of taste...",

Zheng Yan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, he had never been so embarrassed and embarrassed to grow so big, because there were two beautiful women in white standing at the door, and Gu Du looked at him with a smile, among them, the relatively thin girl said that the peerless style may be a little inappropriate, but even if it is not now and in the future, it will definitely be the gas of the woman next to her.

The meal was already heated, Zheng Yan wiped the table and stool twice before going up, and washed the dishes and chopsticks again, the girl opened the food box she brought over and put a plate of dishes on the table, which was not too rich compared to what Zheng Yan had prepared, Zheng Qi sat on the side in a proper manner, like an old child who had made a mistake, and the older woman in white sat opposite and looked at him with a smile on her cheeks, and the more she looked at the old man's head.

The two young people finally sat down after their work, and the girl took out a pot of wine from the food box, cast a spell to hang the wine pot in the air, spread a pool of clear water under the wine jug, and released a continuous fireball outside the clear water, and boiled the wine in this way, Zheng Yan looked at the woman's elegant and graceful movements, and also had some understanding, this was conveying a meaning to himself.

The older woman next to her had her eyes rolling and chuckled, "What? really like Xiao'e? Do you want Aunt Feng to be your matchmaker?",

Zheng Yan hurriedly waved his hand, his face was really a little red, and he paused and asked tentatively, "They said that your original name was Jingfeng, Bai Jingfeng, is it true?"

The woman stretched out her hand and pointed at Zheng Yan's eyebrows, and the next moment the pictures quickly flashed and disappeared in the room, all of which were the scenes that Zheng Yan saw in Mu Hanyang's memory, and the last tall and slender figure said something with a smile, and then slowly dissipated, the girl opposite Zheng Yan looked at the gentle woman with some surprise, Zheng Yan still looked at the inquiring gaze, Zheng Qi seemed to be still reminiscing about the Jin Ge Iron Horse in the picture.

"The first time I saw you, I knew that you would definitely get his divine thoughts, there was no basis, it was just a kind of induction in the dark, so every time I waited for you to come over, I would sense whether I had already obtained that divine thought, in fact, I sensed it when you went up the mountain, he was calling me",

The woman whispered, her voice gentle and a little ethereal, and the other three listened carefully,

"I thought he would let you bring a remnant soul back, although I knew it was impossible, but I couldn't help but look forward to it,... Ah, the dishes are almost cold, you have eaten all what Aunt Feng cooked, come, try Xiao'e's craftsmanship, this is a special reward for you, you must know that so many young men on and off the mountain are looking forward to eating at the same table with Xiao'e, let alone tasting the dishes she makes,

Zheng Yan was a little helpless, and Zheng Qi next to him muttered, "You can", and then quickly lowered his head again,

Bai Jingfeng, or Feng Yi, raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, "Xiao Qi, I have become more and more over the years, and I dare to talk about your Grandma Feng behind my back!"

Zheng Qi's mouth was already stuffed with food, and he raised his eyes and looked dazed when he heard this.

Zheng Yan thought about it and dispelled the idea of asking about Lu Yin and Dugu Takihun, and asked after eating, so he began to bury his head in eating like his grandfather, and the girl opposite ate and chewed slowly, and behaved dignified and elegant, any mood is so perfect, and it seems to contain a variety of charms, which undoubtedly adds a lot of room for reverie, so it is very attractive, and Feng Yi is just drinking slowly, and her eyes don't know where to look.

Feng Yi didn't say anything about Lu Yin, according to her, she didn't know much, Lu Yin and Mu Hanyang did have some plans for the development of the demon clan back then, but they just excluded a few women, and the demon king Lu Yin was not under the Nine Heavenly Demons, but the Twelve Heavenly Demons, and there were three women, Zheng Yan saw the graceful woman in black in Mu Hanyang's memory called Heiyue, the body was a sky fox, extremely powerful, and the other woman named Ziyu did not appear in Mu Hanyang's memory, Feng Yi said that it was a purple pipa scorpion spirit, and she left not long after the demon clan went south, and there was no news after that。

They didn't explore why a few women were excluded, and the worship of the demon king Lu Yin at that time would not make them question and explore at all. As for Dugu Takihun, it is true that she is no longer in the Youyue Cave, three hundred years ago, Feng Yi saw her for the last time and said that she was going to enter the depths of the Taihua Mountains to find her own creation, and after that, there was no contact, so she couldn't help, and Feng Yi was about to go on a long trip, and then she left with the girl.

Zheng Yan, who was talking just now, had already washed the pots and dishes with the girl, and now he had nothing to do, so he sat at the table with his grandfather and was stunned, Zheng Yan was full of hesitation and thought about whether he should go to Taihua Mountain to find Dugu Takihun, and when he saw the grandfather who was plucking out his ears on the side, he asked casually, and the old man immediately came to the spirit, "Go, why don't you go?" Anyway, you have to go to the trial, not to mention that you have promised to go to the next family, the man of the Zheng family should be true to his word,

Zheng Yan didn't have a good breath and said, "That's the Taihua Mountains where demons are rampant, am I your own grandson? Is it not a pity that one or two of the more than eighty grandsons die?",

The old man said seductively, "Although it is said that life and death are fateful, but the clan will definitely send masters to follow up to ensure that those big demons do not shoot casually, that is to say, you will hardly meet those powerful and outrageous big demons, how can you have a chance of survival, not to mention that the trial once every four years has only lost three percent of the most dead people to the present, grandpa believes that you are fine",

Zheng Yan didn't want to deal with him,

"I might as well get to the bottom of you again, if you don't go, they will definitely give you an engagement wedding, grandpa thinks that you may be able to hide from it, you stay in it and let them find it, and then come out when it's time to go back, and then the people who come to pick you up in Luoyang will also arrive, are they embarrassed to leave you behind for you to get engaged?".

Zheng Yan wondered, "This is too child's play, isn't it?"

The old man said disdainfully, "Who said that everything in the world must be serious and reasonable? Okay, these days to recuperate, ten days later, you have to spend the New Year in the mountains, think about how you want to prepare, this is equivalent to your coming-of-age ceremony",

Zheng Yan hurriedly grabbed the old man who was about to rest, and said urgently, "Grandpa, since you want to go in, aren't you going to give me some advice?" or you can go in too, anyway, you should be strolling, the woman who can transform into the spirit is really beautiful, a thousand times more beautiful than the Dongou women you said, really, I have seen a lot on the road this time."

The old man broke Zheng Yan's hand a little bit, and said pitifully, "When you enter the mountain, grandpa will leave the village and go south, you can't bear to let grandpa guard such a broken village for the New Year, and these people who have watched for so many years, and have to watch for many years? Grandpa's daughter-in-law and children are all in the south, and you still have to accompany your daughter-in-law for the New Year."

Zheng Yan grabbed the old man again, and said disdainfully, "I don't know that you have married a new daughter-in-law all these years, when will you bring your grandson to meet these little grandmothers, am I older?

The old man was full of helplessness, so he had to sit down again, holding his forehead speechlessly, and suddenly raised his head and said solemnly, "No little grandma, don't go out and spread the word."

Zheng Yan nodded honestly, and then the old and the young began to whisper, and gradually Zheng Yan's eyes lit up, and he knew that his grandfather had many experienced ideas
