Chapter 157: Back to the Past
Earth.
Su Qing walked down the Xiaoqingshan Dojo and returned to his home in the village.
Opening the rusty courtyard door, he pushed it open and walked in.
The small courtyard built last year has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is already full of dead branches and leaves.
Standing at the door, staring blankly at the remnants of the courtyard and leaves, Su Qing's eyes were a little dull.
He suddenly remembered a limerick poem he had seen on the Internet:
'The rusty lock of the broken door has not been opened for a long time, and the gray brick path is covered with dry moss; Nameless withered grass invaded the courtyard, and a bitter bitterness entered the throat; I suddenly remembered that Gao Tang was there, and he also burned the pot table on the stove; I feel that I am now invisible, and no one at home complains of feelings; wandering in a foreign land for decades, and then returning to his hometown to become an outsider; Behind the door, there is no teaching stick, and there is no telling to add clothes. β
As his cultivation became higher and higher, his state of mind became more and more indifferent and indifferent, as if he had become a machine that could only cultivate.
Since becoming an immortal, he has rarely left the Xiaoqingshan Dojo, and he has never returned to the small courtyard.
Even the house in the county seat, he may not have been back for a long time.
"Fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise, I'm afraid I would be more and more forgetful."
This time in the otherworld, Su Qing completely experienced the seven emotions and six desires in the world and found himself.
His state of mind is becoming more and more peaceful, no longer as high as before, and he can perfectly match his current strength.
"Whew"
Thinking of this, Su Qing blew out lightly.
A fresh wind blew, rolling up the dead branches and leaves all over the courtyard and turning them into dust and blowing them away.
There was another golden light, and the whole courtyard was completely renewed, returning to the time when it was first renovated.
"Huh? Ah Qing? You're down? β
A person walked in from outside the courtyard and said in surprise.
"Blessed grandpa, you're getting younger and younger."
Su Qing turned his head to see the person coming, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted him.
"Ah Qing, you"
Looking at Su Qing, who was smiling and friendly, Su Youfu felt a little trance.
He hadn't seen the smile on Su Qing's face for a long time, or rather, he hadn't seen Su Qing for a long time.
At the time of the ancestor sacrifice of the Layue clan last year, Su Qing went down the mountain, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.
At that time, Su Qing seemed to be a transcendent immortal, which made people distant and unable to get close.
Could it be that this is the price of cultivating immortals? has a fairy flavor, but no human flavor?
Su Youfu couldn't help but ask, if this is the case, this immortal doesn't cultivate!
Now, looking at Su Qing with a smile on his face, Su Youfu knows that he is back again!
"Blessed grandpa, I'm back!"
Su Qing nodded slightly, as if responding to his speculation, and replied softly.
"Well, I knew you'd be back."
Su Youfu couldn't help but burst into tears and applauded loudly.
"Let's go, let's go in and talk, Blessed Grandpa, you tell me about the village, I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know what has become of the village."
Pulling Su Youfu into the house, Su Qing took out a cigarette from the drawer of the coffee table in the living room, opened it, handed one to Su Youfu, and brewed a pot of spiritual tea.
While swallowing clouds and spitting fog, drinking tea and talking, the two chatted about the shortcomings of the parents in the village and the trivial life.
Not long after, the clan elders in the village also got the news and ran over, and Su Qing's house became even more lively.
The long-lost worldly red dust has made Su Qing more humane, and his mentality has become younger.
Near noon, he went to the town to buy a lot of vegetables, cooked them himself, and invited the village chief and the clan elders to eat them.
In the afternoon, Su Qing locked the courtyard door and drove the Mercedes-Benz MPV that had been parked for more than half a year to the county.
Back to Room 302, Unit 2, Building 27, Xiangshan Tingyu Community, needless to say, there is a thick layer of dust at home.
He had no choice but to do the hygiene, and after a cleaning operation, the house became spotless.
"Hey, Uncle Xiaolong, do you have time at night, come and eat with me."
Near evening, Su Qing dialed his cousin Su Xiaolong's phone.
"Ah Qing? You're down? β
Su Xiaolong on the phone was obviously surprised.
"Yes, I'm back in the county, and I'll listen to the rain in Xiangshan."
Su Qing replied: "If you have time in the evening, bring Zihan and Zichen over together." β
"Oh, okay, I know, I'm going to arrive."
Su Xiaolong responded repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, Su Qing went to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables and came back.
At night, when the lights were on and the neon lights were flashing, Su Xiaolong entered the house with a pair of children.
Looking at the table full of wine and delicacies, Su Xiaolong's heart was even more shocked.
"Uncle Xiaolong, come in, Zihan Zichen, change your shoes."
Su Qing beckoned them into the house and led them to sit at the dining table.
"Brother Qing!"
Su Zihan and Su Zichen hurriedly greeted and responded.
After not seeing each other for a long time, they have a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world.
"Ah Qing, do you have something to tell me?"
Looking at the amiable Su Qing, Su Xiaolong was quite apprehensive.
Like Su Youfu, since Su Qing became an immortal, he may not have seen this nephew for a long time.
Now that he was invited over for dinner, Su Xiaolong couldn't help but guess in his heart, could it be that A-Qing was leaving?
"Let's eat first, talk while eating, Zihan Zichen, you're welcome."
Su Qing beckoned them to move chopsticks together and explained, "Do you think I was becoming more and more unkind before?" Then I took a fork in the road in my cultivation, and now I am back on the right path. β
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
Su Xiaolong didn't know how to feel it, but his heart was also very happy.
"Brother Qing, were you too forgetful before?"
Su Zihan asked.
"That's not it, it's just that the previous cultivation improved too quickly, and the state of mind couldn't keep up, so it became more and more indifferent."
Su Qing shook his head and explained, "Fortunately, I woke up in time and went to the other world to experience a lifetime and correct the fork in the road. β
"Then Brother Qing, what strength do you have now, can you talk about it?"
Su Zichen bit a chicken leg and asked curiously.
"I was only one step away from enlightening Daluo, and it was precisely because I couldn't break through for a long time that I found that there was something wrong with my state of mind."
Touching his little head, Su Qing replied.
Hiss~! Da Luo!
Su Xiaolong and the others gasped in unison and contributed to the warming of the earth.
They are no longer the novices they used to be, and they have a clear understanding of the division of the realm of cultivation.
Starting from ordinary people, the mortal realm is divided into 1-9 levels, and the next 10 levels are the fairyland.
The fairyland is divided into 10th-order True Immortals, 11th-order Heavenly Immortals, 12th-order Xuan Immortals, 13th-order Golden Immortals, 14th-order Taiyi, 15th-order Daluo, 16th-order Mixed Yuan Daluo, and 17th-order Mixed Yuan Wuji.
About half a year ago, Su Qing officially announced the world at that time, and he was promoted to a 10th-order True Immortal.
Unexpectedly, how long has it been, he has already entered the 14th-order Taiyi realm, and is about to enlighten the 15th-order Daluo.
Isn't this just that the cultivation is improving too fast, it's even faster than riding a rocket!
In less than a year, he had completed a path that most monks would never be able to complete in their lifetime!
It's outrageous!
"Don't talk about this, come on, eat vegetables."
Seeing that the grandfather and his wife were all shocked and sluggish, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, Su Qing hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Qing, you're really awesome."
Su Zichen came back to his senses and cheered with admiration on his face.
"Brother Qing 666!"
Su Zihan was also full of admiration.
"Eat the vegetables and eat the vegetables."
Su Qing waved his hand.
A meal, chatting while eating, and eating for two hours.
After dinner, I sat in the living room and drank tea and chatted for another hour.
They talked about their recent situation, Su Xiaolong was transferred to a county and a city this year to teach, and concurrently served as the director of education, which was very valued by the principal and leaders.
Su Zihan's grades are also good, and he is expected to be admitted to a double-first-class university in two months.
Su Zichen hasn't changed much, he is only in the fourth grade.
Su Qing had known about these situations for a long time, but she just listened to them in person and deepened their feelings for each other.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Su Qing sent them away.
In the next few days, he resumed his previous routine, waking up at 6 a.m. every morning and running for half an hour along the trail in the back mountains.
Come back to take a bath and eat breakfast, read books, write, draw, cook and eat by yourself, and return to ordinary life.
Sometimes I went to Wang Jingui for tea and chatted, or went fishing with old classmates, or invited Uncle Xiaolong's family to come over for dinner.
His state of mind became more and more peaceful, he never forgot what he had gained and lost, he no longer practiced, and he no longer cared about when he would be able to attain enlightenment.
Time flies, and it will soon be April 1, 2024.
Early in the morning, Su Qing woke up from his sleep, washed up, and changed into sportswear to go for a run.
By the time the sun had risen, he had come back from his run, finished his breakfast, and sat down on the couch drinking tea.
Open the chat group and check in first:
γDing! If you check in successfully, you will get +10 points! γ
A line of pale gold handwriting appeared, and 10 points were credited to the account.
Su Qing: "Good morning, everyone! β
Su Qing's expression was unwavering, and he opened the public chat dialog box and said hello to the group members.
Xie Lin: "If I'm not mistaken, Earth time should be April by now, right?" β
Fang Chang: "You mean, new group members are coming?" β
Little Dragon Girl: "Good morning! β
Wang Mang: "How many new members are this coming?" β
Wang Defa: "It's not early, the sun is drying your butt." β
Seeing Su Qing going online, the group members also greeted him one after another.
Su Qing: "Four ghosts, you remember correctly, today is really April 1, 2024, and the ninth batch of group members will join the group soon!" β
Pinching his fingers, Su Qing replied.
Xie Lin: "I hope there are a few more members of the group, and I hope they are from the high-level world." β
Xiaolongnu: "I wish I could have more girls, but there are too few girls in our group." β
Wang Mang: "That's what I said, even if there are girls in the group, what do you want?" β
Wang Defa: "It seems that every time a new group member enters the group, the number of people does not exceed four, right?" β
Fang Chang: "I remember, when I joined the group that time, I was the only one. β
The group members also talked a lot, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the new group members.
I don't know how many members of the group joined the group this time, and I don't know where they came from.
Every time a new member joins the group, it is like opening a blind box, which is quite exciting.
Su Qing: "Well, for the first time, there are only four people: me, Brother Xie Yuanshan, Miss Xu Huaping, and Brother Xiao Yichen, and we are the oldest group members." β
Su Qing: "The second time, there were two people, namely Qin Xiaoxian and Li Mingda; the third three, Wang Sheng, Wang Xiaobao, father and son, and Zhu Quan; There are four people in the fourth time, namely Jiang Sichen, Guo Daocheng, Wang Defa and Zhao Xiangyun. β
Su Qing: "The fifth time is also four people, namely Zhao Ri, Xie Lin, Wang Xiaoer, and Li Shen; The sixth time there was only Fang Chang alone. β
Su Qing: "The seventh time is three people, Liang Yun, Ding Hongli and Zhu Youzhen; The eighth time was two, namely Wang Mang and Xiaolongnu. β
Recalling it, Su Qing said slowly.
Before you know it, the number of members in the group has reached 23.
Xie Lin: "Tsk, you still remember it." β
Wang Defa: "Haha! β
Fang Chang: "I don't understand why I am the only one in my group. β
Xiaolongnu: "When the new group members come, we won't be budding, haha." β
Wang Mang: "Ha, why do you still want to bully newcomers?" β
Seeing Su Qing report the list of new group members one by one, the group members also sighed.
At this moment, several prompts popped up in the chat group:
['Courtyard He Daqing' joined the group chat.] γ
['Fairy Sword Liu Aqi' joined the group chat. γ
['Cyber Ranbovan' has joined the group chat.] γ
said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the group members had just finished talking about the new group members of this month, and they came.
Su Qing: "@εει’δ½ε€§ζΈ , @δ»εειΏδΈ, @θ΅εε °ζ³’δΈ, welcome new members!" β
Looking at the chat group prompt, Su Qing frowned.
There are only three new group members, and judging from their nicknames, the world level they are in is not high.
"Courtyard He Daqing" will not be said, at first glance, it is the period drama "Love in the Courtyard", also called "Poultry in the Courtyard".
'Fairy Sword Liu Aqi' is probably from the Xianxia drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Liu Aqi is another name for Liu Jinyuan, the weak scholar.
But the other 'Cyberpun Povan' is a bit interesting, and the mechanical worldview of cyberpunk is really the first time it has appeared in the group.
Xie Lin: "Ha, what is Daqing in the courtyard?" Good guys, the wind in the courtyard actually blew into the chat group, it's really awesome! β
The TV series "Love in the Courtyard" was not popular when it premiered, but I didn't expect it to be brought to fire by the same online article!
Xie Lin still remembers that when he wrote it in his previous life, he had seen no less than a hundred courtyard fans.
What 'Zhuxian Sword Array besieges and kills the thief holy stick terrier', 'I sign in in the courtyard', 'I drive a big car in the courtyard' and the like, it's not too much.
Even an author friend who Xie Lin knew had not been popular in writing original fantasy before, and his grades were average, and the monthly manuscript fee was only four or five thousand.
The friend in the back changed his career to write the courtyard fandom, and he made more than one million a year.
According to that friend, his achievements are not unique, and there are many authors who make a lot of money by writing Courtyard Douren.
When he heard the news, Xie Lin was really taken aback at the time, which was also outrageous!
It was from then on,He faced up to the theme of the courtyard fandom.,I didn't expect to stop watching it.,I read hundreds of books in a row.γ
After reading it, he understood why this theme is so popular and why it has endured for a long time.
Without him, the emotions, characters and plot of this theme are all there, as long as you follow the plot, readers will naturally have a sense of substitution.
In other words, it's much easier to write about the same people in the courtyard than it is to write originals, so it's no wonder they make a lot of money! (End of chapter)
