Returning to the heart like an arrow, this word is now very suitable for Zou Li's mood at the moment, nearly a thousand miles away, and it will be there in three days. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the hometown that was both familiar and very strange, and I didn't feel a little hesitant. At the intersection of the mountain road and the official road leading into his manor, there was nothing before. Now there were rows of houses, the most obvious of which was a wine shaker floating on it, and the sound of hunting in the wind.

Opposite the restaurant is a medicine hall, and there is a blacksmith shop next to the medicine hall. After a few years, a miniature town was born. There is a tall gatehouse next to the restaurant, which reads: "Zoujiazhuang".

Passing through the gatehouse, there is a river not far away. There used to be a small wooden bridge over the river. Now, the wooden bridge across the river is gone, and it has become a rather imposing stone bridge, spanning the Qingyang River of more than ten zhang, and the bridge deck of the stone bridge is full of three carriages wide. Across the stone bridge, the mountain road is wide and level, winding upward.

He once talked to Zou Fu about the role of the Crouching Tiger Gang Eagle Hall and the passing of the pigeon.

Zou Li did not enter the restaurant but went straight to his manor, just arrived at the valley mouth, and saw a tall gatehouse, two young men standing on both sides of the gatehouse.

As soon as Zou Li arrived at the door, he heard a shout, "Stop coming, this is the Zou family's manor, and you need to report something first." ”

Zou Li jumped off the horse and arched his hand, "My name is Zou Li, and I will go home to visit relatives." ”

"Zou Li, this name is very familiar, who is Zou Li?" asked another big man.

"Zou Li, the name of the eldest young master, the eldest young master is in the Crouching Tiger Gang, and he hasn't come back for a long time, it's the eldest young master who is back!" said another big man loudly.

Then he said: "Young Master, please forgive me for not knowing the little one, please wait, we will go and report immediately." ”

After a while, Taniguchi turned out several big men, one of whom was one of the early domestic servants adopted by his family, Zou Qiang.

When Zou Li went to the Crouching Tiger Gang, Zou Qiang was 28 years old, and after five years at this time, little has changed. Zou Li recognized it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Qiang, I'm Li'er." ”

The leading big man also recognized it, and shouted in surprise: "Young Master, you're back." ”

Then he turned to the two young men and said, "You don't even know the eldest young master, so you stopped the eldest young master here, and you still didn't admit your mistake to the eldest young master." Then he arranged for a person to send a letter to the master, saying that the eldest young master was back.

Zou Liyi waved his hand, "Don't blame them." Let's go back to the village. Along the way, Zou Li asked how to erect a gatehouse here.

Zou Qiang said: "Since the year when the eldest young master went to the Crouching Tiger Gang, our family has set up a wine shop, and this eldest young master also knows about it. ”

Zou Li nodded, he knew that the new wine had just come out at that time, and it was mainly brewed medicinal wine, which was used to sell it in his own pharmacy. Shouldn't this be the reason for building a gatehouse here?

Zou Li asked, "Is medicinal wine very profitable?"

Zou Qiang said: "At first, it was naturally only sold to its own pharmacy, and later some other medicine halls in the town also came to pick up the goods, and even some hotels and restaurants also came to ask for the goods. Some hotels even ask us to brew some non-medicinal liquor to sell. For these requests, the lord will naturally not refuse. The master of wine-making is really good, after improvement, the quality of the wine is better, and the demand is large, and it will be delivered to the outside towns by car almost every few days, and even some counties have to sell the goods.

At this time, there were some random people who often went to the valley or the village to spy and intimidate us. Later, the wine in the county town was not made, and only a few towns were made. The old man also bought all the mountains and forests around Zhuangzi and a piece of land next to the official road, expanded the mountain road into the village, and built a stone bridge. A gatehouse was built here, guarded by people, and a restaurant was built on the side of the official road.

The lord also said that when he had money in the future, he would build the surrounding mountains with walls, and now only a few sentry posts have been built around it. ”

When Zou Li heard this, he looked around. The valley is only 2 miles wide, and there is a ridge on each side of the valley that extends to the high mountains deep in the valley, and the outer edge of the ridge is also a ravine. As long as you build a castle on the valley mouth, valley and mountain beam, it is equivalent to a small city.

It's easier said than done, and the cost of building a city alone is no less than 30,000 gold. With the current strength of the Zou family, it is impossible to do it.

Zou Li said secretly: "Instead of building a city, it is better to improve your own strength." More than five years ago, my father's cultivation was already in the middle of the eighth layer, and I don't know what happened in the past few years. ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the gate of the village. Just crossed the wind and rain bridge, Zou Li saw a few teenagers running in front of him, although he hadn't seen him for a few years, but his face was remembered.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth sister. Zou Li shouted loudly.

After going through ups and downs, Zou Li has matured a lot, and after a few years of not seeing each other, a kind of brotherly love arises from his heart.

"Big brother, big brother!" shouted several people at the same time.

At this moment, Zou Li saw a black shadow rushing towards him, "Big brother, don't you remember your little sister!"

Zou Li's skills are not trivial now, so he naturally saw who it was, hugged him and said, "Why don't you remember my family Ying'er?"

"Don't touch my nose, be careful if you break my nose. Little sister Ying'er twisted her head and said.

"Okay, I won't pinch my Ying'er's nose. ”

As he spoke, he rubbed the other party's hair.

"You rub my head again, as you like. The girl named Ying'er said hatefully.

Zou Li smiled, "Okay, my family Ying'er has grown up, don't rub your head, this is the fifth brother: Yong'er, right." As he spoke, he picked up a little boy who was chasing after him.

Ying'er immediately leaned down and said to the little boy, "Yong'er, call the eldest brother, call the eldest brother." ”

Zou Li picked up Yong'er and said, "Listen to the big brother, the big brother has a gift for you!"

When he heard that there was a gift, the little boy who was still a little recognizable immediately called: "Big brother, big brother." ”

Zou Li smiled happily, took out a tiger carved with beautiful jade from his backpack, hung it around the neck of Yong'er, and took out a drum that could be shaken. Yong'er played with the tiger twice first, but looked at the drum in Zou Li's hand.

Ying'er said, "Big brother, what gift did you bring me?"

Zou Li said: "What do you want to play when Ying'er is so old? ”

"Hmph, I know that the eldest brother is eccentric. ”

Seeing Ying'er like this, Zou Li smiled, "How could you forget Ying'er's gift?" As he spoke, he touched his chest and saw a beaded flower carved by beautiful jade appear in his hand.

When Ying'er saw it, she immediately turned her anger into joy.

The brothers and sisters were laughing all the way, and as soon as they arrived at the door, Zou Li saw his father, mother and second mother standing at the gate waiting.

"Li'er!" Li Sufang saw Zou Li from afar, ran to hug Zou Li, and cried.

At this time, Zou Li was already taller than his mother, and he was quite embarrassed to see so many people around him watching.

"Su Fang, go to the living room to talk, you see so many people watching, crying and crying. Zou Wu said with a smile.

"You have to care, you haven't seen my son for so many years, and you can't let me hug it. After speaking, he glanced at Zou Wu and wiped a handful of tears.

Zou Li also took this opportunity to say hello to his father and Erniang.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, Zou Li's mother occupied the whole time, from Zou Li going to the Crouching Tiger Gang to eating and dressing. I can't wait to ask every detail several times before I can rest assured.

Zou Li picked up some non-dangerous ones and told them to her, so as not to shed tears again.

After dinner, Zou Li was called to the study by his father.

Zou Wu asked about the details of Zou Li's situation in the Crouching Tiger Gang, and he knew that the actual situation was by no means what Zou Li said.

Zou Li looked at his father and didn't speak, took out a book of atlases from his arms, turned to the last page, pointed to the Qi Drawing Pill Pill and said, "I went to the central area of the Qin Mang Mountain Range some time ago and found a few spiritual elixirs of the first grade of the Spirit Rank, which can refine two furnaces of Qi Attracting Pills. This elixir may be effective for us, and the rest can be refined into Tongmai Dan. ”

When Zou Wu heard this, he was shocked, "You went to the central area?" It is said that there are demon beasts inside, and even the innate ancestors may be damaged. Zou Li told Zou Wu what he had experienced.

"So, you've seen immortal cultivators, and demon birds?" Zou Wu asked.

Zou Li took out two small swords and a small shield to show Zou Wu. Immediately told the battle and dialogue between the immortal cultivators. When it comes to the other party, as soon as he sees himself, he sees that he is the sixth layer of qi induction. ”

Zou Wu was shocked when he heard this: "The other party said that you are the sixth layer of qi induction, will you be mistaken?"

Zou Li said: "It shouldn't be wrong, I was alone at the time, and I had just broken through to the sixth floor. ”

Zou Wu's face was solemn: "In this way, what we practice is really cultivating immortal exercises, no wonder some people can cultivate, some people can't, and the cultivation is extremely slow." In this way, the ancestors of the Li family, and even our ancestors, have had immortal cultivators. ”

took the small sword and held it carefully for a moment, and then handed the two small swords and the small shield-like thing to Zou Li and said, "If you can't cultivate in the future, don't go to the central area." Then he carefully asked about the stages of cultivation. Zou Li also told everything he heard.

"In this way, the qi induction period is followed by the qi training period. Zou Wu asked.

Zou Li nodded: "If we are really in the induction period, we will not be wrong." To cultivate immortals, I need to use spirit stones, I couldn't make progress in my cultivation before, and then I found a piece of top-grade spirit jade to let me break through the fourth layer, which I told Uncle Fu to let my family find this kind of jade. I was able to break through to the sixth layer with a piece of spirit jade, and this spirit jade should be a spirit stone. ”

Speaking of this, he handed the little sword to Zou Wu, and said, "Keep one at home! This thing is extremely sharp, maybe it will be useful." Zou Wu nodded and took it easily.
