Chapter 15: Returning Home

After getting off the Huoliu Sect Mountain Gate, Chen Mengsheng pasted four wind talismans on his legs in a row, and the speed of the whole person became extremely fast.

A Wind Charm has no effect, but when several are used together, the effects can stack and walk quickly. The Divine Talisman, he didn't plan to use it, and the exchange for the Divine Talisman was just in case, with the Divine Talisman and the Vajra Talisman, he had an extra means to save his life.

Looking at the map, he chose a direction and sped all the way through. At the beginning, it took him half a year to go from leaving home to Huoliu Sect, at that time, he was still an ordinary person, and he could only come step by step, even the Huang Xian Master who introduced him to the sect at the beginning also drove him back to the sect in a carriage. Now, it won't take him that long to go back, and with the Wind Talisman, three months back and forth is enough.

Along the way, he basically chose to walk through the mountains and forests, and walked on the road at his speed, which was easy to attract the attention of others. Sleeping in the open air, constantly using the wind charm, within a month, he arrived in the territory of Tianyun County.

Walking into Tianyun County, Chen Mengsheng sighed with emotion. At the beginning, his dream was to study hard, be admitted to Tianyun County, and become a talent. Xiucai's status in Tianyun County is much higher than that of ordinary people, and he has become a Xiucai, even if he is not an official, he is a celebrity in a county, and he knows that there are seats in the county. After becoming a showman, you can also continue to participate in scientific examinations, and when you become a lifter, you will have a reputation in the provincial capital. At that time, his dream was really simple, but for the sake of one breath, he embarked on the path of no return. Now looking at the scholar who is carrying a book (qiรจ), he still has a little envy in his heart.

With some emotion, he retracted his thoughts, no matter what, he still has to go down this road, and the breath in his heart has been held back for ten years.

After stopping in Tianyun County and inquiring about the location of the village, he rushed to his hometown excitedly.

From a distance, he saw a small mountain village, and in the terraced fields at the head of the village, many villagers were doing farm work. He slowed his pace, suddenly becoming a little hesitant. The near-hometown feeling is more timid, which is his psychology at the moment. How is my father and mother now, and what is my life? He hasn't been home for ten years, are you blaming him for being an unfilial son? The feelings in my heart are complicated, and even his steps have become heavy.

He slowly moved towards the village.

Ten years have passed, and there seems to be no big change in the village, there are a few old grandfathers sitting under the willow tree at the head of the village, Chen Mengsheng knows them, but they don't know Chen Mengsheng anymore. They stared at this "foreign" young man with some confusion, and Chen Mengsheng didn't know how to greet him, so he simply lowered his head and walked into the village. Walking to the stone monument in the village, he stopped and looked deeply. The willow tree had become a little thicker, and the wicker blew in the breeze, constantly lapping against the stele.

After a moment's pause, he walked towards the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard.

Standing at the fence outside the courtyard, his eyes were a little red, his heart was beating faster, and he poked his head out to look into the courtyard.

The yard is very clean, and there is a bunch of green vegetables, which is green and beautiful.

In the courtyard there is a wooden basin with several pieces of clothing in it, which look like children's clothes. On the fence, there were several pieces of washed clothes, Chen Mengsheng's eyes were moist, they were his clothes, they looked small, but they were cleanly washed.

At this time, he was a little surprised by the sound of milk in the room, and then he heard the voice in his dream that made his soul turn for a thousand years, and that voice had been with him until he was nine years old.

"Meng'er, slow down, be careful not to fall. โ€

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

A little girl appeared outside the door, her round face flushed, and she looked very cute. She saw the young man outside the fence, tilted her head, and looked and looked.

"Mother, there's a big brother outside. โ€

A woman with half-white hair in an apron and half white hair was thrown out of the room, still holding a rolling pin.

"You're running so fast, where is the big brother?"

She went out of the house, took the little girl with her flour-stained hand, and looked out of the house with a smile. At this sight, she was immediately stunned, the rolling pin in her hand fell to the ground, tears appeared in her eyes, and her hands clenched unconsciously, making the little girl a little painful.

"Mother, it hurts. The little girl said crisply.

The woman's tears could not stop flowing, and she hurried to let go of the little girl's hand, and picked it up and put it in front of her mouth to blow, and at the same time used her other hand that was stained with her face, and kept wiping her tears, and the flour mixed into her eyes, and the tears became even more.

"Call your brother, your brother is back. โ€

"Brother?" the little girl wondered.

"That's your brother, the brother who has been away from home for ten years, the brother you have been looking forward to. โ€

Tears were rolling in Chen Mengsheng's eyes, and he knelt down across the fence.

"Mother~"

Chen Mengsheng and his mother picked up Meng'er and went out of the hospital in a panic, and the three of them hugged each other and cried excitedly.

After a long time, Chen Mengsheng came to his senses, he let go of his mother, and ...... His sister.

"Mother, I have a younger sister. He looked at Meng'er dotingly, "What about my father, why don't you see my father?"

"Your dad went to work, and it's almost time to come back. His mother looked up and saw his father standing not far away, his eyes red. It turned out that his father had already come back, and when he saw his mother and three hugging each other, he didn't make a sound to disturb.

"Dad~" Meng'er also saw her father, and happily ran over to hug her.

His father's hair was gray, and his back was hunched. He rubbed his eyes and happily picked up Meng'er.

Chen Mengsheng looked at his father with a complicated expression in his eyes. My father was old, and his back was hunched. He turned his head and kowtowed heavily to his father, "Dad, the unfilial son is back." โ€

His father raised his head, tears rolling in his eyes, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back......"

At lunch, a family of four sat on a table of eight immortals, in front of Chen Mengsheng, a large bowl of noodles was full. Meng'er sat beside him, looking dependent.

"Brother, my father and mother said that you went to be an immortal, did you become an immortal?" Meng'er looked curious.

"Mengsheng, you have been gone for ten years, your sister asked for it six years ago, and your mother named her 'Nian Meng'. โ€

Hearing this, Chen Mengsheng's heart was sour, he was full of thoughts of revenge, where to care about his parents' feelings, he resolutely embarked on the road of seeking immortals, this time it was ten years, in the eyes of others, it was likely that they thought he was dead. But his father and mother always believed that he would come back, and washed his clothes from time to time, and even the clothes he grew up in were prepared for him, and his house has always been kept.

"Daddy, the child is not filial. โ€

"Old man, just eat, you see that you talk too much, so that Mengsheng can't even eat, Mengsheng eats quickly. โ€

Chen Mengsheng picked up a large bowl of noodles in front of him and devoured it, his mother kept saying: "Don't worry, eat slowly, there is still in the pot." โ€

Taking a big bite, eating a big bite, Chen Mengsheng's tears couldn't stop flowing, and his mother also cried when she saw this.

"My poor boy, I have wronged you for ten years. โ€

Meng'er hugged Chen Mengsheng and cried.

His father took out his cigarette pouch, took a heavy puff, and looked at the family, his eyes red again.

The meal was almost finished in tears, his mother wiped her tears and cleaned it up, and Chen Mengsheng sat at the door with Meng'er in her arms.

"Brother, are you really an immortal?"

Chen Mengsheng smiled at Meng'er, he stretched out his right hand, palm up, "Meng'er, you blow a breath." โ€

Meng'er looked at Chen Mengsheng suspiciously, but she did the same, she pouted and blew into Chen Mengsheng's palm.

Whew, as this breath was blown, a flame suddenly appeared in Chen Mengsheng's palm, which frightened Meng'er into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Meng'er, this is the immortal method. โ€

Meng'er looked at the flame timidly, with admiration in her eyes.

"Wow, my brother is amazing. โ€

Chen Mengsheng smiled lightly, and with a wave of his hand, the flame disappeared. Then he clenched his right hand and said something in his mouth, and when he opened it again, a small balloon of water formed in his hand, and he smiled and sprinkled the water on Meng'er's head.

Meng'er dodged, but some of the droplets were still on her head, and she giggled and couldn't stop laughing.

Her father and mother also saw this scene, and their eyes showed surprise, and finally turned into relief, it seems that the child's vow has finally been fulfilled.

For half a day, Meng'er almost pestered Chen Mengsheng, asking him to show various "immortal methods", and Chen Mengsheng was also happy to accompany Meng'er.

The news of the small mountain village spread very quickly, I don't know if they saw Chen Mengsheng enter his yard, or if someone saw Chen Mengsheng's "immortal technique" outside to tease Meng'er, in short, the whole village knew that Chen Mengsheng had come back and became an immortal.

The villagers spontaneously gathered at Chen Mengsheng's house, and the courtyard was full of people.

"Chubby, you're back. โ€

"It's still called Xiaopang, he is an immortal now, and you see how much he has changed, and he is getting more and more handsome. โ€

"Yes, they all say 'eighteen changes in women', I think this man has changed twenty times. โ€

"Mengsheng, you have been gone for ten years, and we miss you very much. โ€

"This kid is smart when he is young, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes an immortal. โ€

"Mengsheng, don't forget that I taught you. โ€

All kinds of flattering words came into Chen Mengsheng's ears, but he had a calm face, he knew the mouths and eyes of these villagers ten years ago. Several of the villagers, who were disdainful of him at the time, now come to praise him.

His father and mother were happy, their son was good, and their faces were bright.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that my son is back, and a banquet will be held at my house tonight, and everyone should have a face. His father said in high spirits.

"That's for sure, it's a blessing for us to be able to participate in the feast of the immortals. โ€

"I'll definitely come in the evening, and I'll bring a big gift. โ€

The villagers slowly dispersed, and Chen Mengsheng's home finally became quiet.

"Dad, why don't you see the old village chief?"

"The old village chief died three years ago, and the current village chief is Zhang Xiaohu's father. โ€

"Zhang Xiaohu's father?" Chen Mengsheng's face became gloomy, "Then why didn't he come?"

"Hmph, he'll definitely come over in the evening. You don't know, Zhang Xiaohu came back once three years ago, which happened to be the day when his father became the village head. That time, his father held a feast in the village, and invited the troupe to sing for three days, and even people from nearby villages came. The whole village went to congratulate Zhang Xiaohu and his father, and heard his father say that Zhang Xiaohu was already a seventh-layer enlightened spirit and an inner disciple, which was very beautiful. โ€

Chen Mengsheng muttered in his heart: "Kailing Seventh Layer, hehe, it was Kailing Seventh Layer three years ago, and sure enough, good qualifications are not ordinary." You're like this, and I don't know what your immortal relatives are like now? โ€

His father didn't know what he was thinking, seeing that his face was heavy, he only thought that Chen Mengsheng couldn't beat Zhang Xiaohu, so he comforted: "Mengsheng, don't be discouraged, now that you have become an immortal, that's it, don't think about revenge." โ€

"Hehe, it's not enough to be an immortal. โ€

To send these villagers away, his father specially invited the village cook, immediately slaughtered a pig, and held a banquet in a hurry.

Chen Mengsheng walked around with Meng'er in his arms, and in the evening, Chen's house was brightly lit, and the courtyard was full of tables, and the meals on it were neat.

More and more villagers arrived at his house, and in the end they were a little crowded, and everyone sat down, but they didn't move their chopsticks, as if they were still waiting for someone.

When it was almost full, a middle-aged man with a ruddy face arrived, and the villagers all stood up and said with a smile: "The village chief is here." โ€

The middle-aged man is Zhang Xiaohu's father, he was also a farmer, a rough man, his name is Zhang Dahu, and he named the child Zhang Xiaohu, but he is now the village head, all because he has a good son.

Zhang Dahu smiled and waved his hand: "Hehe, I heard that the son of the Chen family brother is back, I'll take a look." Everyone sits, and although the feast is relatively simple, everyone should also eat well. โ€

Chen Mengsheng and his father looked ugly, this big tiger regarded this place as his home, and openly and secretly said that his family's banquet was not good.

Chen Mengsheng looked at Zhang Dahu coldly, and it just so happened that Zhang Dahu also looked over.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for ten years, and my little nephew has changed a lot. I heard that you have become an immortal, can you show you a hand?"

As soon as Zhang Dahu finished speaking, a villager said: "Yes, if you are an immortal, you will show your hands to everyone." Who wouldn't talk big these days?"

"Yes, it's not that Uncle said you, you went out for ten years, and when you came back, you said that you became an immortal, but I haven't seen your ability yet. โ€

"That immortal can be said at the beginning, your qualifications are extremely poor, and you may not be able to be an immortal for decades, should you coax us?"

Chen Mengsheng's father's face was ugly, and his mother even wanted to go up to theorize, but was pulled by Chen Mengsheng.

"Zhang Dahu, whether I am an immortal or not, you can try it. As he spoke, a huge fireball appeared in his hand, and he stared at Zhang Dahu with a smile.

Hearing Chen Mengsheng call his name, Zhang Dahu didn't dare to speak again, he saw the fireball, and cold sweat flowed from his head.

"Ahem, the virtuous nephew is really young and promising, and he is really an immortal. โ€

"Hmph!" Chen Mengsheng shook his hand, and the fireball disappeared.

The few people who exited just now also shrank their necks, and they didn't dare to look at Chen Mengsheng again.

At this moment, a teenage child behind Zhang Dahu said disdainfully: "What's so great about the fireball, the fireball that my brother showed when he came back last time is much bigger than yours." Moreover, he was at the realm of the seventh layer of enlightenment at that time. What about you, what realm are you?"

Chen Mengsheng looked at the child, and a trace of Zhang Xiaohu's shadow could be vaguely seen on the child's face, who was Zhang Xiaohu's own brother. His eyes were a little strange, "I'm only the fourth layer of enlightenment." โ€

"Hahaha, it's not as good as my brother. โ€

"Alas, it turns out that he is not as powerful as Xiaohu. โ€

"I'll just say, Xiaohu's kid is talented, how can he not compare to Chen Mengsheng?"

"Of course, didn't the immortal say it at the beginning, Chen Mengsheng's qualifications are extremely poor, even if he becomes an immortal, how can he compare to Xiaohu. โ€

"Yes, even if it is an immortal, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and he must be the lowest type of immortal. โ€

When those village names heard Chen Mengsheng's words, they felt that he was not as strong as Zhang Xiaohu, and they spared no effort to mock him, hoping to please Zhang Dahu, and Zhang Dahu looked proud.

Chen Mengsheng's father and mother's faces became even more ugly, and they were all ready to disperse the feast. Chen Mengsheng wasn't much angry, he couldn't afford to be angry with these mortals.

Although he only has the realm of the fourth layer of the spirit of the spirit, it does not sound as high as the realm of the seventh layer of Zhang Xiaohu, but he is only one foot away from the fifth layer of the spirit layer, and he still has many spirit stones, and it is not a problem to cultivate to the sixth layer of the spirit spirit. With his spiritual root attributes, it is not very difficult to defeat the seventh-layer realm with the fifth-layer realm, if he reaches the sixth-layer realm and properly crushes the seventh-layer monks, the five-element spiritual root is not in vain.

He didn't argue with these villagers, he looked at everyone coldly, but the fireball in his right hand was unleashed again, and the heads of those villagers who opened their mouths to mock retracted, as if he had just discovered that no matter how bad Chen Mengsheng was, it was also an immortal, an immortal who they had to worship when they heard it.

Everyone quieted down, only the sound of gobbling up food, Chen Mengsheng sneered in his heart, and then dispersed the fireball in his hand and returned to the house with Meng'er in his arms.

Slowly, the villagers dispersed, and because Zhang Dahu was beside them, these villagers wanted to congratulate them a few more words, but they didn't say anything and left. A few of them drank high, relying on the strength of the wine, saying that Chen Mengsheng was not as good as Zhang Xiaohu at all, and licked a wave of Zhang Dahu fiercely, and Zhang Dahu was full of smiles.

In the end, Zhang Dahu was also drunk, and he said to Chen Mengsheng and his father: "Brother Chen, my son is the capital of heaven, that is the life of immortals." The last time he came back, he heard that your child also went to ask for immortals, he was very excited, he said that your child had better practice quickly, otherwise it would be boring to meet in the future, he said that he was looking forward to meeting your child. โ€

"Yes, my brother will definitely defeat Chen Mengsheng again, he is the most powerful. โ€

Chen Mengsheng could hear it clearly in the room, even his mother heard it, and his mother looked at him with a worried face.

"I'm looking forward to seeing each other again. Chen Mengsheng muttered with memories in his eyes.

The villagers finally dispersed, Chen Mengsheng and his father also drank a lot of wine, and when the villagers all left, he hugged the wine bottle and burst into tears.

"Dad has no ability, the immortal hurt you at the beginning, Dad failed to protect you, and now you are an immortal, those people still laugh at you, Dad can't stop it, Dad has no ability. He muttered in a whisper, thinking that the voice was too low for anyone in the room to hear, but his son, who was already a monk, had a clear ear and could hear clearly. He opened his mouth and poured a sip of wine, which ran down his chest, and with a thud, the bottle fell to the ground, and he slipped by the wall.

Chen Mengsheng sighed and walked out of the house gently, outside the house, his father was already asleep against the corner of the wall, and he was still unconsciously saying something, he stepped forward and carried his father back to the house.

While carrying his father to bed, he asked, "Mother, why don't you see the uncle and aunt next door?"

"They, Ziying came back the year before last and picked them up. You haven't seen Ziying, she looks like a fairy now, she looks like the fairy in the painting, I heard her say that she has become a disciple of an elder, her status is very high, her cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the spirit, and she is not far from the tenth layer of the spirit, she took her father and mother to live an immortal life. โ€

Hearing the name Lin Ziying, Chen Mengsheng fell silent. He didn't know how to treat this girl, her behavior was not wrong at the beginning, but he always felt that there was a fish in his throat, he didn't anger her, but his heart has been unhappy, even if she cast an encouraging look at him, he was happy in his heart, but she never said a word, nor did she look at him, when he looked, she would always dodge his gaze.

Zi Ying also asked about you, and when she heard that you were also going to ask for immortals, she sighed a few times, and finally said to her mother, if you are successful in cultivation in the future, go to Qingli Sect to find her, she said that it was a women's sect, she was originally in the Golden Beast Sect, and by chance she was favored by the elders of Qingli Sect, so she was accepted as a disciple. โ€

"Qingli Sect?" Chen Mengsheng read it again and remembered this sect.

Meng'er tossed for a day, didn't sleep until the end of the banquet, Chen Mengsheng chatted with his mother for a few words, and let his mother sleep, his mother didn't want to sleep, she hadn't seen her for ten years, she had endless things to say to him, and finally he said that he would stop for a long time when he came back this time, and his mother looked at him reluctantly, blowing out the lamp and sleeping.

Chen Mengsheng arrived in the courtyard alone, and when he saw that the courtyard was in a mess, he cleaned it up.

He waved his hands, and the dishes flew up one by one. During this time, he learned another spell - the Divine Arts, a spell that manipulates things in the air. This spell has high requirements for the cultivation of monks, and can only be cultivated after reaching the fifth layer of enlightenment, and this spell requires a delicate control of the aura, and it is generally difficult to do it if it is not at the fifth layer of enlightenment.

I heard that I can move mountains and reclaim the sea, but I have never heard of anyone refining the magic to perfection. Imperial art is a basic spell, many monks learn the art of imperial objects, just to master the use of some imperial objects, can do the flying sword, and other magic weapons, no one specializes in the cultivation of imperial arts.

The cultivation of the Imperial Technique is quite boring, constantly repeating and repeating, it can be said that the cultivation of the Imperial Technique is the easiest among all the spells, and to put it bluntly, it is a kind of control of the aura. And the control of the aura, with the improvement of the cultivation realm, will naturally improve, and there will be no monk who cares about the imperial art.

Ever since Chen Mengsheng began to practice the Imperial Technique, he had always enjoyed it, he felt that this spell was very magical, the kind of holding up other things, as if he had an extra arm, he decided to practice this spell well. At first, he couldn't even control a light wooden stick, and it took him many days to pick it up slowly, but it was shaky and difficult. Taking advantage of the time he went home, he had been practicing this spell in his dreams, and now he was finally able to control some small things, and the dishes and chopsticks were naturally no problem.

He cast a spell of repercussions, and the dishes kept falling into the pool next to him, and then he performed the water polo spell to rinse them all away. If this scene was seen by other monks, they would have condemned him for wasting his aura, and no monk would be stupid enough to expend a lot of aura, just to wash the dishes.

I have been busy for a while, and the branches are already on the moon.

The whole courtyard became clean and empty, Chen Mengsheng leaned against the corner, picked up his father's cigarette pouch, put it to his mouth and smoked.

"Ahem. โ€

It was the first time he had smoked and he was choking and coughing. He hurriedly covered his mouth and suppressed this cough with his spiritual power.

In the room, his mother's voice came out, "Mengsheng, you haven't slept yet?"

"Just sleep, mother. โ€

He got up and went back to his room. The house was cleaned and the bedding was dry, probably because it was often dried. Chen Mengsheng felt very warm in his heart, he didn't take off his clothes, and just lay on the bed.

A long-lost sense of security came to his mind, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully, and soon a slight snoring came.

At some point, his father and mother appeared at the head of his bed, and his mother lovingly took off his shoes and covered him with a quilt.

Chen Mengsheng was woken up suddenly, this is a habit he has developed over the years, no matter how dead he sleeps, as long as there is a trace of movement, he will definitely wake up. In a daze, seeing that it was his father and mother, he smiled at them and fell asleep again.

His mother's heart was sour, and she secretly wiped her tears. In the past, he couldn't sleep and thunder, but now he can wake him up with gentle movements, and I don't know how much suffering the child has endured in the past ten years to develop this character.

His father patted his mother, and followed his mother to cover the quilt for him, and the two looked at it a few more times before returning to the house to sleep.
