Ling Yu picked up the wine glass, put it to her lips and took a sip gently, savoring it carefully, revealing an expression of enjoyment. Songhua wine has been five years old, the wine is fragrant, the smell is long, take a sip, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless. His appearance as a little drunkard made the three of Di Xun laugh.

While telling Ling Tianhao about what they had seen and heard in the past five years and Ling Yu's growth, Di Xun and the others asked Ling Tianhao about the situation in the village. For a while, I sighed that time is like a white horse, and the years are like a knife. In a hurry, five years have passed, which makes the three of them sigh.

After three rounds of drinking, Ling Tianhao said to Ling Feng: "Dad, in fact, the main reason why I came this time is because the five-year period is approaching again, and I want to ask my father to go back and preside over the overall situation." But just now I saw a vision from heaven on the way here, so I delayed it for a while. ”

"I know, I estimate that the time is almost up, even if you don't come to me, your uncle and I also plan to return to the village in the next few days. As for the vision...... Let's go back and talk about it. Ling Feng squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time, then said to Ling Tianhao.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? What time is almost? What day is coming?" Ling Yu was confused when he heard it on the side, and couldn't help but ask.

"This matter also has something to do with you. We wanted to tell you about it before, but we were interrupted by Swallowing Heaven. Now while everyone is here, I won't hide it from you. Ling Feng looked at Ling Yu, who was almost as tall as himself, sighed with emotion, nodded and said.

"Actually, this matter is not a secret, it is our Lingjiazhuang's coming-of-age ceremony. You're thirteen years old, and you're going to be participating. Ling Feng said slowly.

"Isn't it every year? Oh, I see, it's another five years. Although Ling Yu knew about the five-year period, she still didn't quite understand.

"Yes, this year is another five-year period, as the village chief, I want to refresh their senses and refine their muscles and ......bones," Ling Feng replied very solemnly.

The coming-of-age ceremony is a tradition in Lingjiazhuang. On the third day of the second month of each year, teenagers who have reached the age of thirteen undergo a coming-of-age ceremony, signifying that they have reached adulthood. From then on, he will follow the adults in and out of the snowfields like a man, or go out to earn a living. Every five years, boys between the ages of thirteen and seventeen return to the village to be baptized, which is more of an opportunity than a ritual. Because since Ling Feng became the head of the village, he would store some rare herbs every year and secretly refine them in his spare time, so that their medicinal properties were soft and more friendly to the human body. Then, at the coming-of-age ceremony every five years, he would gather all boys and girls between the ages of thirteen and seventeen who had attended the coming-of-age ceremony, whether they were in the village or outside, to return for baptism.

During the coming-of-age ceremony, he and Dong Xiuzhen led a team of people respectively and let them soak and bathe in the herbs refined by Ling Feng. Although this can't make them masters in the cultivation world, it can at least make their bodies stronger. Ling Feng stimulates the children's potential with medicinal power, making their physical strength, speed, and perception far beyond ordinary people. Although the villagers didn't know why Ling Feng did this, they didn't ask too much, because they believed that Ling Feng, in the hearts of everyone, Ling Feng was their patron saint, the backbone. They knew that no matter what Ling Feng did, it must be for everyone's good and would not harm them. This group of people at the bottom of the Chinese continent has the most dazzling mind, simple and unpretentious but crystal clear, simple and sad, simple and moving.

"Oh, that's the case, then shouldn't I go back too?" After listening to Ling Feng's words, Ling Yu suddenly thought of herself.

"Of course, although you are my grandson, you can't be specialized. Remember, the villagers respect me, not because of how high my cultivation is, nor because I am the village chief, they don't want to slap me, they respect me only because they think I am good to them, and I will not harm them. Therefore, you must also treat them well, help them, and protect them in the future, because people's hearts are exchanged. Ling Feng said earnestly.

"I know, don't worry, grandpa, when I become stronger, let's protect this Pure Land together!" Ling Yu looked at Ling Feng with an extremely serious attitude.

"Also, don't tell them about your cultivation, it's not a deliberate concealment, but a kind of protection, understand?" Ling Feng reminded Ling Yu.

"yes, I see. "Ling Yu is no longer the little slippery head who only knew how to eat five years ago, he has grown up, has his own thinking, and has the ability to think and discern, he can now fully understand Ling Feng's painstaking efforts.

"By the way, grandpa, you, Grandpa Emperor, and father, your cultivation is so high, how can you live in our Lingjiazhuang for so many years? Have you also wandered in the cultivation world before? Wouldn't my grandmother and my mother also be masters?" Ling Yu's heart seemed to suddenly grasp something, and he asked in a daze.

"This ...... I'll tell you later, for now, you just need to concentrate on cultivation, and don't ask anything else. When the time comes, you'll know. "Ling Feng didn't want to waste time on this issue, and he didn't want to tell Ling Yu too much before he became stronger. Because even if he told him, he couldn't understand it, and it was actually a kind of protection. Some things are concealed because of pampering, can you tell him about the fairy realm? Tell him about the fairy and demon war? And even if he believed, he wouldn't solve anything.

"Oh, okay. Ling Yu was keenly aware that Ling Feng was hiding something from him, but since Ling Feng didn't want to say it, he didn't ask. He knows his grandfather's character too well, no one can stop him when he wants to say it, and it is useless for anyone to force him when he doesn't want to say it. Instead of guessing, it is better to go with the flow so as not to add to the annoyance.

"Brother, you have to work hard tomorrow to pick some herbs with me, the children in the village need these things." Ling Feng thought of the children in the village, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.

"What is this called, I have been uncomfortable in the past few years, and I just have time to go out for activities, what is not good. It's been so many years, are you still polite to me!" Di Xun smiled and agreed. The two brothers have cooperated more than once, and besides, for the sake of the children in the village, he feels that he should do his part.

"Okay, let's rest early tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow morning. When Ling Feng saw that the matter had settled, his heart was much more settled.

Ling Tianhao has been working day and night for the past few days, and he is a little tired, so the four of them rested early.

When the candle in the house was extinguished, the figure under the ancient pine gradually disappeared.

Deep in the snowy region, in the ice carved jade hall, a man in the prime of life stood in the center of the hall. If Di Xun and the others were here, they would definitely recognize that this middle-aged man was the "person" who had saved Ling Yu and cut off the weasel's arm. In front of him, there was a crystal coffin made of 10,000-year-old ice pith, and a middle-aged man was lying in the coffin. The middle-aged man's eyes were closed, and there was not a trace of fluctuation under the mountain, like a soulless body. At this moment, the man in the prime of life was lowering his head, as if he was talking to the person inside the coffin. The man in his prime kept nodding his head and was extremely respectful.

"Zhuhuai, since you killed that weasel last time, have they found you again?" a deep voice came from the coffin. Although the middle-aged man didn't speak, he felt that this sentence must have been said by him.

"No, last time I was Ling Yu who was rescued in human form, and since then, I have never entered their sight. The prime man replied.

"Very good, very good, Ling Yu, this kid seems to be different from the previous kind of people, he needs to be carefully observed, and he can't be hurt in the slightest. Moreover, swallowing the sky and coming to the world, I am afraid that the world will be chaotic, and everything must be careful. The middle-aged man whispered, his tone revealing deep exhaustion.

"Obey the decree of the gentleman! But listening to their tone, it seems that they are going back to Lingjiazhuang. Zhu Huai's face turned pale, and he said respectfully. He knew the reason for his tiredness, the black light curtain that rose from the Northern Regions just now was from the hand of Mr., and in order to protect this land, Mr. almost exhausted his spiritual power.

"I know this, Ling Feng, this kid, is quite kind, not bad. "Looking at his appearance, Ling Feng is much older than this middle-aged man, but now this middle-aged man is actually called Ling Feng Kid, which is a little incredible.

"Sir, do I want to continue to follow them?" asked Zhu Huai.

"Since they're back, it's safer than here, and you don't have to follow. Also, let them 'accidentally' find a few herbs before they go, eh...... Throw the dragon bone grass and anchovy flowers to them and let them collect them. Also, let all the strange beasts that have reached the state of mind come to see me tomorrow. The gentleman explained.

"Yes, sir, everything will be done as you wish. Zhu Huai agreed.

"Well, it's nothing, you go down. The gentleman sighed softly and commanded.

Seeing the tiredness between Mr. Wang's eyebrows, Zhu Huai agreed and quietly withdrew from the hall.

When Zhu Huai's figure disappeared into the main hall, Mr. slowly opened his eyes, as if there were two lightning bolts in the main hall, he looked into the distance of the pine forest, and said slowly: "Everything is about to begin......
