Chapter 102: Constant Visitors Parents and Sisters
The white-bearded old man faced the eight charming women, and there was nothing unusual in his heart, and he shouted: "A few girls, this is the Zhang family's practice ground, and non-Zhang family children are not allowed to enter, you leave quickly!"
Tu Qianqian smiled and showed a piece of jade pendant around her waist and said, "We are all children of the Zhang family, why can't we come here?"
The old man wondered, "How come? You guys... What room is it?"
Tu Qianqian pointed to Zhang Xiaoshan not far away and said, "We are the maids of the son!"
Only then did the old man notice Zhang Xiaoshan, who was wielding a sword on the field, with a surprised expression on his face, and immediately shouted to the young people around him: "Boys, hurry up and meet my ancestor!"
He immediately knelt down and saluted to Zhang Xiaoshan, and the children around him didn't know what was going on, how could the usually meticulous and serious hall head kneel? Although they were puzzled in their hearts, they still followed and knelt down one after another.
Of course, the head of the hall knew Zhang Xiaoshan, he just didn't know that Zhang Xiaoshan had returned to the family, he had served in the Baiyun Hall for many years, and he was familiar with every teenager who went out. He was extremely impressed by Zhang Xiaoshan, because this young man was a personal disciple of Elder Taishang, and he didn't need to come here to practice morning exercises, but Zhang Xiaoshan was still the first to rush here every day, working harder and harder than anyone else, who could not be impressed by such a young man.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the crowd around him, adjusted his breath, and said loudly: "Everyone get up, the morning exercise time is limited, let's hurry up and practice!" He practiced first, and the young people around him were encouraged, and they practiced swordsmanship one by one energetically.
After half an hour, Zhang Xiaoshan stopped his morning exercises, returned to the outside of the practice field, and said excitedly: "I haven't felt like this for a long time, it's better to go home!"
Tu Qianqian and other maids hurriedly put on a long robe for him, and these actions naturally attracted the envy of the surrounding teenagers, everyone was still very curious about this person, which party is this, why haven't they seen this young man in the past few years.
As time passed, soon some more family members came here, and some immediately recognized Zhang Xiaoshan, who was a celebrity in the family five years ago, and even more famous five years later.
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't care about the eyes of others, but just took Tu Qianqian and others to Sanweizhai in the apse and enjoyed a meal unique to the north.
The Zhang family is a Xiuzhen family, the diet in the door is mainly light, mostly grains and vegetables, but it is these simple materials, after cooking, exudes a strong aroma, Zhang Xiaoshan's appetite is opened, and he eats two large bowls of vegetable porridge before putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Tu Qianqian and several other maids naturally have a beautiful breakfast, they are the body of the demon clan, when they have not opened their wisdom, they all live a life like drinking blood, after cultivating the Dharma body, they still feed on flesh and blood, supplemented by spiritual grass, and there is no contact with the diet at all, Zhang Xiaoshan inadvertently increased his knowledge for these maids。
After enjoying breakfast, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately returned to his residence, he knew very well that now was a special period, it was really not suitable to show off outside, and yesterday the master had already said that he would be assigned tasks to himself in the near future, and he must seize the time to improve his strength as soon as possible.
His original intention was to retreat in his room, but this desire was interrupted by the constant flow of guests.
The first to visit were his brothers, these rare old antiques came one by one, as if they had pinched the time with each other, the former had just left, and the latter had come uninvited. They talked with Zhang Xiaoshan very enthusiastically, and they were very kind, but in fact, except for the fifth senior brother who had been with the master and had a close relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan, the other five Zhang Xiaoshan did not have much contact, especially the fourth senior brother, on the way back to Zhang Xiaoshan, he also sent his own disciples to try to coerce Zhang Xiaoshan to other prefectures, if it was not for Yang Dong Baili to accompany him, he almost let him succeed. With this incident, Zhang Xiaoshan naturally had a suspicion of it. But he also had to admit that this fourth senior brother was really very shrewd and decisive, he had already known that Zhang Xiaoshan might hold a grudge against his previous behavior, so he went straight to the point and showed that he didn't know anything about the previous things, and it was all the people below who were messing around in his name, and he had already severely punished these disciples, hoping that the junior brother would forgive Yunyun. The words were sincere and sincere, but it was difficult for Zhang Xiaoshan to continue to investigate.
The rest of the senior brothers, they don't have any practical things, they just chat with Zhang Xiaoshan casually, Zhang Xiaoshan understands very well that these senior brothers are all for the forces they represent behind them, so they come to get closer to him, since they are not good at showing it, they don't say anything, anyway, everyone is the same senior brother, usually he wants to find these senior brothers, and he is afraid that people will ignore him! This opportunity is rare, naturally he can't miss it, he simply asked the senior brothers about some of the confusion he encountered in his practice, and everyone naturally patiently explained to him, but it helped him a lot. He also revealed that he wanted to seek some advanced exercises, and several senior brothers all generously took out some classics, all of which were some advanced fire attribute exercises suitable for cultivation. Zhang Xiaoshan sighed in his heart, these senior brothers obviously came prepared, and they made all kinds of preparations.
What made Zhang Xiaoshan wonder was his fifth senior brother, he knew the situation of the master, why did he come to see him, and vaguely expressed his position, he would always firmly support the Zhang family's main sect. Zhang Xiaoshan didn't want to ask questions, so he could only talk a little nonsense.
Bidding farewell to these senior brothers, Zhang Xiaoshan took a long breath, feeling tired, chatting with these senior brothers, it is more distracting than fighting with others, he must pay attention to his words at any time, he can't show his position, he is really not good at dealing with this kind of occasion!
Tu Qianqian summoned Yang Dong that Bai Li came twice in the morning, and each time he saw Zhang Xiaoshan entertaining guests, so he left a sentence and went back.
"Boy, it doesn't feel good to be the focus!" Tu Qianqian has been trying hard to imitate Yang Dong Baili's tone, but it is not like it at all, the two are completely different from each other in terms of personality and appearance, and their natural emotional expression is also very different!
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled bitterly, but let Yang Dong Baili see the joke.
Since knowing the situation of Shizun, Zhang Xiaoshan was extremely relaxed, as long as Shizun was behind him, he would definitely be able to overcome it.
He was about to meditate for a while, when suddenly another guest came, and it turned out to be his grandfather Zhang Baichuan.
Zhang Xiaoshan welcomed Zhang Baichuan into the room, greeted him, and then sat down and bowed his head, very suspicious, why did his grandfather come?
Zhang Baichuan didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, I came here for three things. The first is that you need to return the sunset to the family, and the family will create a spiritual weapon for you; the second is that the family has decided to recruit you into the Council of Elders, and you don't have to worry about affecting your cultivation, you are only serving as an honorary elder, enjoying the offerings of the elders, but you don't need to be in charge of any duties; third, after three months, the family will hold an internal trial, and each of the three forces will send five children below the Yuan Infant Stage to participate, and the main sect has decided that you must participate. ”
Three things shocked Zhang Xiaoshan one by one, if it is still understandable to build a spiritual weapon for him, because his trip to the outside has indeed improved the reputation of the family and made some great contributions, of course, he can enjoy the treatment of customized magic weapons. However, what is the situation of making oneself an elder, and when did the Council of Elders join so well! For example, his grandfather, although he was a patriarch, could not join the Council of Elders, so what qualifications did he have to join? This is really a strange story that has created a legend of the Zhang family for thousands of years.
And what is that trial, I have never heard of this kind of competition within the family, doesn't the Zhang family hate the infighting among the disciples the most?
Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan's puzzled look, Zhang Baichuan smiled and said: "Haha! Uncle, these things are all decided by the top of the family, and I don't know the details at all, but I think about it, the announcement will be announced to the world soon! Maybe the next time I see you, I will be honored as an elder!haha!" Of course Zhang Baichuan is happy, the faster Zhang Xiaoshan's status is raised, the more beneficial it is for him, although the position of the patriarch is not worth mentioning in the eyes of some old monsters in the clan, but he attaches great importance to it, he can be successfully re-elected as the patriarch, isn't it precisely because of Zhang Xiaoshan, a good grandson? Just imagine, in the future, Zhang Xiaoshan will enter the Council of Elders, although he is only an honorary elder, but he has a bigger backer, and he is even more invincible in doing things.
After Zhang Baichuan said this, he encouraged Zhang Xiaoshan again, and then left complacently, with a smug expression on his face, as if he was about to enter the Council of Elders.
Zhang Xiaoshan's heart became a mess, last night's joy of obtaining the remnants of the Heavenly Method was gone, he was thinking about all kinds of confusion in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the point, he was not a good person at playing with power, so he naturally couldn't see the family's various practices.
However, he had a hunch that the Zhang family's major event was coming, and he had been involved in this major event, and he could not be extricated at all.
He was a little nostalgic for his life abroad, and that feeling of freedom and freedom was gone forever.
"Alas!" he sighed, and lay flat on the bed. It's too much brain-consuming to think about these things, he simply doesn't want to think about it, people who cultivate truth should be reckless and naïve, why bother to affect their state of mind for these mundane things!
On the table in the room, there are six more advanced exercises, these are all left by their senior brothers, and they will choose the one that suits them most for themselves, and the remaining five books will be practiced if you have time in the future! There is another internal letter next to the exercises, you can rely on the internal letter to go directly to the refining hall to customize the magic weapon, of course, the materials need to be provided by yourself, what grade of spiritual weapons can be created, first of all, it depends on the materials prepared. Zhang Xiaoshan is not worried about this at all, there are many rare materials in his immortal mansion, and he can also purchase some precious materials through spirit stones, which is enough to ensure that his spirit weapon is also the lowest level of medium grade.
"Childe, someone claiming to be your parents has come to ask to see you!" Tu Qianqian pushed the door in and said again.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately jumped up from the bed and patted his cheek, only then did he remember that he went out and returned, and did not take the initiative to visit his parents, but let his parents take the initiative to see him, which was very absurd and unfilial. However, he also knows very well that his feelings for his parents are really shallow, he just feels for their fertility, but he has no other feelings, and he doesn't know if he is cold-blooded and ruthless, or he has already transferred his feelings for his parents to his master.
No matter what he does, his parents have already arrived here at this moment, and he will always seem to be unkind if he doesn't receive him warmly.
"Qianqian, welcome the two of you in!" Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly instructed. At the same time, he put away all the clutter in the room, and prepared some gifts in advance for his parents.
"Childe, it's three people!" Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was preparing gifts, Tu Qianqian reminded with a smile.
"Three?" Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned, his parents only had two people, could it be that his father took a concubine, but even if he took a concubine, he shouldn't bring it to him......! He was thinking wildly, and Tu Qianqian added: "There is also a cute little sister!"
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said in his heart: My parents must have given birth to another sister, but I didn't know that I still had a sister, which was really ridiculous.
Soon, Zhang Rufeng and Yang Xi Wisteria walked in with a seven or eight-year-old girl, and when the two of them saw Zhang Xiaoshan, their eyes showed a little relief and helplessness, but there was no trace of pity.
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly knelt on the ground, respectfully bowed twice, and greeted: "Parents are healthy, Xiaoshan has said hello to the two of you!"
Zhang Rufeng coughed dryly twice, and actually said, "Okay! It's good to be back!"
Yang Xi Wisteria was a little embarrassed, and suddenly pushed the cute girl in front of him, and said, "This is Ya'er, it's your sister!"
Zhang Xiaoshan stepped forward with a smile on his face, took the girl's hand and asked, "Your name is Ya'er, I am your brother!"
Ya'er stared at Zhang Xiaoshan with big black eyes, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan curiously, and then said sweetly: "Mother said that my brother is an amazing great monk, and he is the pride of her life!"
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately looked at Yang Xi Wisteria with red eyes, and this beautiful middle-aged woman was standing there with her head down. Her mother is a woman who doesn't talk much, and she has never been very close to her, but she didn't expect that in her heart, she is indeed her greatest pride, and it is indeed a mother-son connection! Zhang Xiaoshan was relieved at this time, and a smile finally appeared on his face. He enthusiastically placed his parents in the main seat, and he sat down with his sister in his arms, telling about the various experiences that happened when he traveled abroad. Of course, he omitted a lot of content, such as some things involving secrets, all of which were skimmed, and even what happened to him in Xuanshui Mansion was also brushed aside.
When he handed over the rubbing of the Divine Fire Hundred Alchemy to his father, this silent middle-aged man showed his fragile side for the first time, and he actually patted Zhang Xiaoshan's face gently, and then took it back.
Yang Xi Wisteria's cultivation talent is really not high, so many years of cultivation is still in the Qi refining period, Zhang Xiaoshan took out a Qi Pill and said: "Mother, this Qi Pill is still refined by my uncle, as long as you take it, you can enter the foundation building period, I still have some top-grade spirit runes, you can use them!"
Ya'er hurriedly said: "Brother, my father and mother have gifts, and Ya'er wants them too!"
Zhang Xiaoshan doted on Ya'er's small nose, and took out a jade Ruyi glowing with treasure light from his immortal mansion, which was one of the items left by Qingluan, which only had a concentrating effect, which was completely useless for him, but it could make his sister get started to cultivate the truth faster. He had already checked it with his divine sense just now, and his sister's qualifications were average, and she would not have much attainment in cultivating in the future, but as long as she could help her, it would not be too much of a problem to advance to the Jindan stage.
They were a family after all, and this kind of blood thicker than water affection was beyond anyone's reach, and soon bursts of laughter could be heard in the room.
Zhang Xiaoshan's suppressed emotions just now were also released, and Yang Xi Wisteria suddenly whispered: "Xiaoshan, I see that these maids are all charming, is there anyone you like in them?"
This is a question that every mother is concerned about, Zhang Xiaoshan's actual age is 20 years old, and he has reached the age of marriage, and many children of his age have already become parents.
When Zhang Xiaoshan heard this, his face darkened, he remembered Qingluan, so he knelt on the ground and bowed three times, and then took out the spirit egg that Qingluan had turned into, and introduced: "My parents are on top, this is my wife Qingluan, because she saved me, her soul was destroyed, and now she can only turn into this spirit egg, but I will definitely let her come back, and I will take her to meet the second elder at that time!"
Zhang Rufeng said with a different face: "Xiaoshan, your wife turned out to be... It turned out to be... Spirit Clan?" he hesitated, after all, when it came to his son, he decided to use Spirit Clan instead of the title of Demon Clan. However, although he was a little surprised, he had no other objections.
Yang Xi Wisteria was also surprised, but she looked at Qingluan's spirit egg and exclaimed: "My son is older, my mother doesn't care which clan you are looking for, as long as you treat each other sincerely, what if you are a spirit clan?"
