Chapter 439: Reuniting Alchemy (Part 2)
Zi. You dare! You kid deserve a beating in the five elements. You don’t let you suffer any pain... I don’t know what it means to have someone outside of people, there is a heaven outside of heaven. If you dare to betray the master, I will let you suffer ten times better than now."
As an old and hoarse voice sounded in the middle hall, two figures appeared out of thin air in the courtyard in front of the courtyard, and gradually walked from the darkness to the brightly lit central hall. The old man walking in front of him had a strange appearance, and with the sound and appearance just now, most of the people in the hall were all focused on him. As for the Qingren who followed the old man this year, everyone just thought he was the old man's entourage or disciple, and they didn't give much advice.
Zhou Qinglan and Zhou Zhenglin were different from others. After a little fearful look on the old man, they moved to the tall and thin young man behind him. Seeing the familiar face, they couldn't help but feel a little confused, and looked for the memories related to it in their minds. Soon they found the memory that had been blocked for twenty years, looked at each other in a hurry, and saw each other's thoughts. They all stood up suddenly, staring at the young man with complex eyes, as if they wanted to say something with some concerns.
When the old man was beside Chen Xuantong with a painful expression, the young man behind him walked around the old man, walked to Zhou Qinglan and Zhou Zhenglin, bowed casually, and smiled: "You two have disappeared for twenty years! Are you still healthy?"
"Are you really Mr. Xu?" Zhou Qinglan and Zhou Zhenglin both looked at Xu Changqing in amazement, their mood became particularly complicated, and they didn't know what to say. This was because of Xu Changqing's face that had not changed for twenty years and the complex relationship between Xu Changqing and them, thinking about the things Xu Changqing did in Zhouzhuang, and the Zhou family gradually weakened from that time on, and they really didn't know whether they should be happy or angry.
"You don't have to be so unfamiliar with you. After all, we are more blood than water!" Xu Changqing saw the complicated mood of the two, smiled slightly, as if changing the subject, and asked knowingly: "How are grandma and her old man?"
Zhou Zhenglin said first: "Old ancestor passed away a few years ago! Except for your cousin Changqing, the other descendants of the Zhou family are all beside her. She walked peacefully." After saying that, he paused, took out a palm-sized jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xu Changqing, and continued: "You were in a hurry back then, and my ancestor didn't have time to hand over this jade pendant to you. Before she died, she told me that if you meet you, I will hand over this jade pendant to you. She said that this jade pendant and the 100-character heart couplet of my aunt were a pair, and they were all my aunt's ornaments back then."
Xu Changqing took the jade pendant with a slightly complicated expression. Looking at the strange words on the jade pendant, a strange feeling suddenly flashed in his heart. Then he sighed softly and put the jade couplet into the Qiankun World with his original Hundred-character Heart Butterfly and copper box.
"You guys can't get up, I'll give you a greeting to your cousin!" Zhou Qingci suppressed the slightly strange emotion in his heart, turned to his head and said to his children.
"Cousin?" All the children were shocked, obviously not convinced by this. After all, Xu Changqing looked one or two years older than them at most, and he could not see that he was a generation older than them. Moreover, in their memory, the uncles of the ancestors knew that he had a cousin who should be older than their mother, so it was really difficult to associate the identities of the two. Chen Xuanming, the most mature among the children, stood up first and asked in a little confusion: "Mom, which cousin is this cousin?"
"What are you cousin and cousin? Do you have a few cousins?" Zhou Qinglan obviously did not see the doubts in her children's hearts, frowned and said.
Seeing that his mother did not understand what he was and others meant, Chen Xuanxin, who was a little impatient, said with a clear conscience: "But we remember that my cousin is older than you? Why does he look like he
"Age? Do you think I look like your eldest cousin Zhenglin's aunt?" Zhou Qinglan shook his head and taught: "I asked you to learn some Taoism. You never take it seriously. You always say that your father and I are ignorant, but you don't know that you are the real ignorance! If you read some Taoist books a little, you will know that the Taoism can be practiced deep into Changchun. Your great cousin has long been a god, and you have various immortal techniques, and can live forever. It is not uncommon to keep your face unchanged for twenty years!"
Zhou Qinglan's words were really beyond their ideas. They were all stunned for a moment, and they even felt a little suspicious that everything that happened just now was a play by their mother and elder brother. Xu Changqing and Zhao Banqian were just helpers invited by their mother to change their beliefs and sank the family preaching. Compared to the suspicion of the three brothers and sisters, Chen Xuanming's wife Irene was much simpler. After hearing the instructions of her mother-in-law, she stood up with her son, walked to Xu Changqing, and bowed according to the Chinese etiquette she had learned, and said in a strange tone: "Irene has met her cousin!"
Seeing the cousin and niece-in-law and the baby in her arms, and looking at the three brothers and sisters who were still sitting at the table, Xu Changqing smiled and shook his head, and said to Zhou Qinglan: "It seems that I have no fate with you, the three children!" As he said that, he saw him take out two green wrist beads out of thin air, put them on the mother and son in front of him, and said: "These two things are treated as my meeting gift. Wear them very well, and they will be of great benefit to you!"
"Thank you! Cousin!" Although Erin didn't understand the special thing in front of her, she could feel that after wearing this wrist bead, her body became much more relaxed, and her postpartum weakness and pain were also relieved.
"This is for your future grandson!" Xu Changqing then took out another piece of red jade heart ornament and handed it to Zhou Zhenglin who looked at Ailin and his son with envious expressions.
"Thank you! Cousin." Zhou Zhenglin was no more ignorant than Erin. He knew very well that the items Xu Changqing gave were not ordinary things. The elixirs back then had already made him feel that the jade ornaments he gave now were probably more precious than the elixirs. Naturally, he was extremely surprised and hurriedly took them into his arms.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qinglan didn't know that his three children had missed an opportunity. She immediately glared at the three children who had not yet recovered. Then she turned to Xu Changqing, trying to save them, and said, "Cousin Changqing, I am really incompetent in discipline. They are actually,"
"Some things cannot be forced! Opportunities are fleeting and irreversible!" Xu Changqing interrupted Zhou Qinglan's words, then took a step back, and gave Zhao Banqian, who was standing beside him, and introduced: "This is the head of the Mingmen who knows fate. Old Master Zhao Banqian, the leader of the Mingmen, knows the fate of heaven."
