83. Returning Home (1)
Feng Ziming's hometown is more than 200 miles away from Baonan City, which is neither far nor close, if he acts in the way of an immortal cultivator, it will be a matter of time. But that's not the case with ordinary people walking. Huang Xin doesn't know how to ride a horse yet, so he has to prepare a car for her. And the Huang family is now a big family, and when the master goes out, he always has to bring a few servants who follow and serve...... In this way, the team of people and horses walked slowly all the way, and it would take at least three or four days each way. It is estimated that it will take about ten days to go back and forth.
Huang Chang was not in a hurry, he took this trip more to treat Feng Ziming's heart disease, and walking slowly would help him self-regulate. As for the safety of the family - he hid Yao Xiu in his yard again.
Today's Yao Xiu has been modulated and has initially possessed some "artificial intelligence", which can automatically enter the defensive state when it is threatened by the outside world. It's just that the action mode is still a bit dull, and its actions are all through the external chip on the back of its neck, starting the predetermined action program, not opening its own intelligence, in fact, the combat ability is far less than when it is controlled by others.
But he can always play some role, and the main reason why Huang Chang dares to stay away from home is that the situation in Baonan City seems to be good recently-after suppressing the head of Nasu, Baonan City seems to have recognized his status at once, in addition to his father and brother walking more and more smoothly in their official careers, the circle of immortal cultivators who have always been relatively closed seems to have opened the door to him, and quite a few leading figures have taken the initiative to come to the door to make friends.
Even the head of the local family, the little marquis of the Ji family, Ji Tiandu, also made a special trip to visit Huang Chang, and the "face-to-face consultation" he wrote in the mediation letter last time was not polite. The two sides exchanged views and talked with each other quite pleasantly.
Huang Chang didn't know that Ji Ruo, who was far away in the pickaxe capital, had already leaked his old bottom for some purpose. But he can at least feel that the immortal cultivation world here in Baoguo has finally accepted him - speaking of which, he was born and grew up in Si, but in fact, because he went to Kunlun Mountain to learn art since he was a child, he will inevitably return to Kunlun in the future, as an immortal cultivator, he should be regarded as an outsider here.
But now that the local snakes here have shown kindness to him, Huang Chang doesn't have to worry about "there are always people who want to harm me" all day long. If you leave once in a while, there must not be much of a problem - there is an old Taoist priest Lou Wanjun in Baonan City, and there is a master of the Ji family, if this can let anyone take advantage of the loophole...... There is no doubt that the two families did it on purpose, and he will settle accounts with Lou Laodao and the Ji family next, and no one in the rivers and lakes will say that he is looking for the wrong target.
With such confidence, Huang Chang was still relatively relaxed and happy along the way, and Huang Xu and Huang Zhao were even more relaxed. Huang Xu was a little better, and along the way, he talked with his brother about his feelings and entry into the realm of his recent practice, just chatting while walking. Huang Zhao has never been far away since he was a child, and since he learned martial arts, he has been clamoring to go out to travel, but he is always stopped by his family. This time I finally got what I wanted, riding a healthy horse and running around happily, and no one could pull it. Huang Xin was afraid that something would happen to her, so she asked Huang Chang to control her - now except for her third brother, no one else can restrain this little demon star.
However, Huang Chang didn't care about this - since Huang Zhao studied martial arts, he would eventually go out to wander in the future, and blindly protecting it would not become a big thing. Moreover, this time, several family members who came out with him, including Huang Xin and Feng Ziming, each brought a talisman that could be automatically activated and had both protection and warning functions. Although the power of these talismans that can be used by mortals is definitely not too great, they are nearby, and they can rush over at any time if there is any danger.
So Huang Zhao was completely liberated, and along the way, he swung his sword on his horse, and had a lot of fun, and even wished that some bandits, demons and ghosts would come out to let her try the sword, but the second sister Huang Xin was angry to death - Feng Ziming's psychological pressure along the way was very great. The closer he got to his hometown, the more nervous he became, and the two emotions of "hometown timidity" and "psychological shadow" seemed to be mixed in his place. It had taken a lot of effort for him to keep going, and if something really came out, he might have been so frightened that he could run back.
Fortunately, Huang Zhao's wish was not realized, and the road was quiet, and there were not even a few pedestrians on the road - because the danger in the wild was too great, in this Xianxia world, unless many people acted together in groups, or there were expert guards, most of the ordinary mortals who did not have martial arts or Taoist skills rarely left the settlement.
The Huang family stayed overnight, and after a few days, they finally arrived at Feng Ziming's hometown, a village and town called Qingshanji. It was originally quite prosperous and lively, and it can already be called a small county town. But since then, it has quickly declined - and most of the local residents have been scared away. Although some came back after the incident, the number was not large, and it was difficult to attract residents from other places to settle down.
When the zombie plague was at its worst, the market town was harassed. Thanks to the quick response of the Ji family, the first batch of immortal cultivators and martial arts masters arrived in time to rescue them, and the zombies and demons failed to enter the market town, but only raged around the periphery for a while. Although many people were killed, this place was finally preserved as the core settlement. If it weren't for that, this large area within a radius of tens of miles would probably have been abandoned, not just a few small villages nearby.
Feng Ziming's father's tomb is outside the market town, but his home is not in this market town, but in the nearby Fengjiazhuang. However, that place has now been completely destroyed - at that time, the gang of tomb robbers Li Lingzhi was dazed, and they did not know the art of feng shui at all, but they dared to dig up an ancient tomb indiscriminately, and released a large group of zombies to cause trouble. And Fengjiazhuang happened to be the closest village to the ancient tomb in the deep mountains, and it suffered the most, and almost the entire village was killed. Feng Ziming and his father escaped easily. But his father was so frightened that he "lost his soul" - this is not an adjective, but he was really frightened and lost his soul, and died in this market town soon after.
Therefore, the Huang family and his party need to go to two places to worship. Huang Xin had prepared for this a long time ago, and brought a large number of incense, candles, paper horses, and offerings for memorial services. They first came to the outside of the market town, at the cemetery of Feng's father. After many years of no one taking care of it, the grave has long been in tatters, and even the tombstone has been broken.
Feng Ziming knelt down here for a long time, cried again, and even fainted in the end. Huang Xin was very worried, but Huang Chang thought it was good-simply venting the pain and grievances accumulated over the years was actually very beneficial to his psychological recovery.
