Chapter 90: A Mortal Journey

Grandpa suddenly became a little depressed, although Ding Zhengyi didn't know why, but he didn't want to ask directly, so he had to catch up quickly.

Xiaoqiu was still a little hesitant, but under Ding Zhengyi's beckoning, she immediately smiled and jumped up and followed.

On the road, Ding Changshou walked in front alone, seemingly thoughtful, while Ding Zhengyi and Xiaoqiu followed suit side by side, and none of them performed light body skills, so they didn't walk too fast.

With a cup of tea, they were able to walk out of the spiritual vein of the family and embark on the east-west avenue that Ding Zhengyi passed through when he went to the Wu family a few months ago.

After a few more miles, the surrounding area gradually began to be noisy.

The cries of the vendors, the whistling of passing carriages, and the neighing of domestic animals echo each other, which is completely different from the peace and tranquility in the spiritual veins.

Ding Zhengyi had already prepared for this scene, but he didn't feel irritable at this time, but looked left and right with interest.

Seeing Ding Zhengyi's relaxed appearance, it was very different from usual.

Xiaoqiu also followed the restraints, and in a blink of an eye, she regained her lively and active nature, chattering non-stop, and telling some interesting things about her previous stay in the mundane world, combined with the picture in front of her, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Ding Zhengyi also kept responding to this, and Xiaoqiu showed a long-lost look of brilliance in front of him, looking innocent, which invisibly made his mood feel much more comfortable.

More than ten miles of road was not too far, even if the three of them walked slowly, it only took half an hour, and at this time they had already walked into Dingxi Town, where the two brothers' families were located.

This east-west avenue runs through the middle of the town, cutting the town in half and creating a bustling commercial street.

The streets are lined with teahouses, restaurants, casinos, and brothels, with their houses rising and falling.

In the open space on both sides, there are many small vendors who sell a dazzling variety of local products such as needles and threads, fruits and vegetables.

The pedestrians on the streets are also endless, rubbing shoulders one after another, some carrying burdens in a hurry, some leading horses to hurry, some driving ox carts to and fro to pull goods, and so on.

Ding Changshou had obviously been here many times, but he turned a blind eye to it, only Ding Zhengyi and Xiaoqiu were attracted by the excitement of this mundane world, and couldn't help but look around and whisper.

However, as the three of them continued to move forward, Ding Zhengyi quickly tightened his mind and regained his indifference, in his eyes, this kind of worldly prosperity was a flash in the pan after all, and it was completely different from the pursuit of monks.

Xiaoqiu didn't know if the excitement had passed, or if she saw that the other two had calm faces, which made them look a little maverick.

Anyway, Xiaoqiu seemed to get rid of the temptation of the outside world at this time, and followed Ding Zhengyi indifferently, walking leisurely.

After a while, Ding Changshou led them into an alley, and after turning east and west, they came to the gate of a compound with red bricks and green tiles and horizontal cornices.

Although the prosperity of the world is like a passing cloud, the traces of time contained in this quaint alley have made Ding Zhengyi reminisce for a long time, and he has been touched inexplicably.

It wasn't until the imposing gate suddenly came into view that Ding Zhengyi noticed that dozens of people were waiting in line outside the gate of the compound, led by the Wenwu brothers, surrounded by dozens of people with gray hair.

Seeing Ding Changshou and the three of them approaching, the old man staggered forward a few steps forward with the support of Xiaowen and Xiaowu.

"Big brother, why did you come out?"

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Ding Changshou hurriedly took a few steps forward and took the old man's arm from the hands of the civil and military brothers.

"This is Xiaoyi, it's really a talent. ”

The old man's trembling hand patted Ding Changshou's shoulder, then turned his head, looked at Ding Zhengyi with his cloudy eyes, and said hoarsely.

"Hello grandpa, I'm Ding Zhengyi. ”

Even though he had never seen this ordinary old man, the two identities of grandfather's eldest brother and grandfather of the civil and military brothers could not allow Ding Zhengyi to slack off in the slightest, so he hurriedly responded.

"Alright, go in first, your body shouldn't come out. ”

Seeing that the eldest brother's body was still trembling slightly, Ding Changshou interrupted the old man who wanted to say a few more polite words, and walked towards the courtyard with him in his arms.

After the two of them entered the compound, the others exchanged courtesy greetings with Ding Zhengyi under the introduction of the Wenwu brothers.

These are the parents of the two brothers, uncles and brothers and other core figures of the family, of course, who is not only the father of the civil and military brothers, but also the head of the family, the square-faced and elegant middle-aged man, is the protagonist of the reception of Ding Zhengyi.

At this time, they all knew that the Wenwu brothers, with the strong support of Ding Zhengyi, had successfully crossed the threshold of the middle stage of Qi training, and even if they went one step further in the future, it was no longer a luxury to become a deacon or even an elder of the family.

No matter what height they can reach, this will undoubtedly bring them a higher status and a more leisurely life, so for Ding Zhengyi, they are grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

This kind of enthusiastic scene brought Ding Zhengyi an unprecedented feeling, and at the same time made him realize that his insignificant decision may be able to change the lives of many people.

Although there is laughter and laughter in front of him, this does not mean that everything Ding Zhengyi does in the future can achieve such an effect, if he misjudges at the critical moment, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, it was useless to think too much about this place at this time, Ding Zhengyi quickly adjusted, and he did not pretend to be a monk, but completely integrated into this big family as the eldest brother of the civil and military brothers.

Originally, everyone couldn't figure out Ding Zhengyi's temper, thinking that he, as a prominent figure in the branch, was extremely extraordinary in cultivation and net worth, and might disdain to communicate more with ordinary people like them.

But the fact is the opposite, Ding Zhengyi did not ignore any of them, he was modest and polite to his elders, gentle and generous to his peers, especially to the biological parents of the civil and military brothers, he was even more enthusiastic as if he were a relative.

Ding Zhengyi's all-encompassing and generous style of acting made everyone's eyes shine, and then their slightly hesitant feelings suddenly broke out, and laughter gathered at the gate of the compound.

The civil and military brothers remained sober, seeing that Ding Zhengyi's calm bearing was completely replaced by enthusiasm at this time, compared with the past, the two of them understood that they should be accommodating them, so they would have such a move, and the warm current in their hearts instantly flowed all over their bodies.

However, the two of them quickly reacted, and hurriedly pushed their father, pointed to Ding Zhengyi, who was still talking and laughing with a few uncles, and signaled that they had been at the gate of the compound for too long, which was unreasonable.

At this time, the square-faced elegant man also frowned, although the civil and military brothers did not say it explicitly, but as the head of the family, he was also a thoughtful person, and he could understand it at all.

He was in it just now, and he didn't have any special feelings, but when he woke up, he realized that the gap between the identities of the two sides was too big, and the other party could turn it in, and he couldn't be without self-knowledge.

Thinking of this, he immediately stopped the noise of his family members in a loud voice, and personally accompanied Ding Zhengyi and Xiaoqiu into the courtyard, constantly introducing the layout of the compound along the way, his tone was unconsciously humble, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the solemnly arranged banquet hall.
