"How did you get frozen in the ice? Also, it's a miracle that you survived being frozen!" Zeng Zonglin said.
"No. If I was frozen, would I still be alive? Did you make a mistake?" Chang Xing said.
"It must have been a mistake. If he was really frozen in the ice, how could he survive until now?" Han Yiqin said.
Fan Kexin was walking ahead with her bag on her back and was suddenly grabbed by Chang Xing.
"You can't walk that way. You'll sink." Chang Xing said.
"How do you know where it will sink? Nothing seems wrong?" Fan Kexin asked in confusion.
"You want to get close to our beautiful lady Fan, right?" Zeng Zonglin smiled and took a step over there. He immediately heard a click under his feet. Zeng Zonglin panicked, but he could no longer look back and could only resign himself to fate.
The collapsed ice and snow began to fall freely.
"Be careful!" Han Yiqin was anxious. He finally waited until the fog cleared and thought he would be able to go back alive. Who would have thought something would happen here.
"Ah!" Zeng Zonglin let out a miserable cry.
Just when Zeng Zonglin was about to fall, Chang Xing grabbed one of Zeng Zonglin's hands and pulled Zeng Zonglin up again.
After being pulled up, Zeng Zonglin kept shouting "ah".
"Okay, you've been here for a long time. Thanks to Comrade Chang Xing, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to collect the body for you! Just now Comrade Chang Xing clearly said that it was very dangerous there and might collapse, but you don't believe it, so go and try it!
If Comrade Chang Xing hadn't reacted quickly, you would have paid the price with your life this time." Han Yiqin said angrily.
"That's right. Comrade Chang Xing held me back just now. Otherwise, I would be like you. But why are you still walking over there?" Fan Kexin asked in confusion.
"It doesn't look any different over there. How could I have imagined that Comrade Chang Xing could really see it?" Zeng Zonglin said sheepishly.
"Comrade Chang Xing, how did you know that there might be a collapse there?" Han Yiqin asked curiously.
"Actually, as long as you look carefully, you can still see some scorn. I just saw that this side seems to have sunk a lot, which means it is too low to be true. It is either empty or may collapse." Chang Xing said.
"Comrade Chang Xing, you are so experienced, why don't you take the lead and walk in front. We will follow behind you. How about that?" Fan Kexin asked.
Chang Xing did not refuse: "Okay, you just follow me."
With Chang Xing's current cultivation level, it is not very difficult to take these people down the mountain together. If he walked alone, maybe the time to go down the mountain would be shorter. Now he met Fan Kexin's group,
Chang Xing could neither take these people down the mountain, nor could he leave them alone.
After Chang Xing walked in front, the speed of advancement became much faster.
When he was approaching the foot of the mountain, Chang Xing stopped: "Everyone, let's stop here. You can go down the mountain just a short distance away. There will be no danger. I hope you won't tell the outside world about my affairs.
.”
"Comrade Chang Xing, why don't you go out with us?" Fan Kexin asked.
Through these days of getting along, Han Yiqin and his party have become dependent on Chang Xing and have feelings for him. It is really a bit reluctant to say goodbye at this time.
"We'll see you there in the future. If you go to Donghai, you can go to my house to find me. I've given you the address," Chang Xing said.
"Okay, then it's agreed that when we go to the East China Sea, don't avoid us." Fan Kexin said with a smile.
"Definitely not. My wife is not a stingy Donghai person, she is very hospitable." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"I heard you complimenting your wife on how virtuous and beautiful she is along the way. You must see her when you get to the East China Sea," Fan Kexin said.
Chang Xing watched Han Yiqin and his entourage walking down the mountain, while Fan Kexin looked back from time to time.
After watching the four of them walk out of the snow-capped mountains and onto the road, Chang Xing walked aside.
Wu Wanyi was teaching Chang Qing at home: "Why do you say that to your grandma? Although your grandma is a little more powerful, she is pretty good to you. She is not much different from her own grandson. She will be sad if you say that to her.
"
"Then my father treats her better than other people treat their mother, so why isn't she afraid of my father's disapproval? In the final analysis, she is still too powerful. You and my father have always been too tolerant to her, and she will become even worse." Chang Qing disagreed.
Convinced.
"You have become more capable now. If I say something to you, you will say ten words back to me! It won't work if I don't teach you a lesson today!" Wu Wanyi went to the room to get the guy angrily.
Chang Xing ran away, opened the door, and rushed out. As a result, he bounced back as if he hit a wall. Chang Qing, who fell to the ground, looked at the man standing at the door and said, his mouth wide open.
.
"Mom! Mom! Mom!" Chang Qing shouted several times in succession.
"You kid, why are your eyes so hard to use? You saw your dad calling mom. Son, aren't you stupid?" Chang Xing stretched out his hand and pulled Chang Qing up.
Wu Wanyi walked out of the room holding a cloth ruler. Looking at Chang Xing standing in the living room, she suddenly froze on the spot. The ruler in her hand also fell to the ground. The tears in her eyes were like turning on the faucet.
Rushing out without stopping.
"Wanyi, I'm back!" Chang Xing pushed Chang Qing aside and walked towards his mother-in-law.
Chang Qing originally wanted to hug her father, but when she was pushed aside, she was stunned. When she saw her mother-in-law, she forgot about her own son!
"You still know how to come back?" Wu Wanyi started to cry, Chang Xing threw herself into her arms, and the couple hugged each other tightly.
Chang Qing was dumbfounded, feeling so redundant.
"Dad, Mom, my grandpa is home! Go tell them the good news." After Chang Qing finished speaking, she lowered her head and walked out, feeling so sad.
"Go, go. You can invite all the grandpa's family over for dinner tomorrow." Wu Wanyi said. It means that you can just stay at grandpa's house at night. It will be inconvenient to come back.
Chang Qing closed the door smoothly and looked at the street with dim street lights. Chang Qing's heart felt empty. Why did I seem to have picked it up?
The next day, everyone in the Wu family who went to work asked for leave, and everyone in school also missed class. They all gathered at Chang Xing's house.
"Brother-in-law, where have you been all these years? How come there is no news at all?" Wu Xucheng asked inappropriately when they met.
"I walked around everywhere, in the wilderness. I almost never stopped, and I couldn't send letters home," Chang Xing said.
"You are exactly the same as when you ran away a few years ago. You haven't aged at all. My sister has suffered a lot in the past few years and has turned into a yellow-faced woman." Before Wu Xucheng could finish speaking, someone pinched his thigh.
A handful.
Wu Wanyi stared at Wu Xucheng.
"Sister, please let go. You have bullied me since I was a child. I was doing you a favor, but you still pinched me. Why didn't you pinch your brother-in-law? Your brother-in-law left you at home and became a yellow-faced woman. I will complain to you.
, you still pinch me." Wu Xucheng said dissatisfied.
Shen Zhuru immediately followed Wu Xucheng's words and said: "Xucheng is right. Chang Xing, I haven't heard from you at all in these years. Wanyi has been a widow at home for you. When you married Wanyi, you said You will make Wanyi happy for the rest of her life. Is this how you make Wanyi happy? I won’t hide it from you. In the past few years, I have advised Wanyi to remarry more than once. It’s all because you don’t take Wanyi seriously. If you Wanyi, don't worry, will you leave your wife and children and go out alone to be free? You have paid a lot for Wanyi in the past, I don't deny it, but in the past few years, what you have done is very wrong."
Shen Zhuru was scolded by her grandson just now, and now she finally found a target to vent her anger on.
Chang Xing listened quietly to what Shen Zhuru said, and then said: "I have worked hard for Wanyi in the past few years, and I will make up for her in the future. I discussed it with Wanyi before going out. Wanyi also understands it very well. Support me. I owe Wanyi a lot after being out for so long. But I have to go out."
Wu Wanyi followed up and said: "Mom, Chang Xing is right. It was my idea for Chang Xing to go out. The reason why I didn't tell you at the time was to avoid you worrying. After so many years, our family members should all know that Chang Xing is not Ordinary people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain health medicines like those. Now that Chang Xing is back, there is no need to pursue the past."
Wu Duming also said quickly: "Yes, our family finally got together and reunited, so we don't have to pursue the unpleasant things in the past. Chang Xing is a responsible person, I believe he will shoulder the responsibility in the future Family responsibilities.”
Although Shen Zhuru still wanted to scold Chang Xing, she had no choice but to give up after being disturbed by Wu Duming and others.
A few days after Chang Xing returned to Donghai, the well-informed Zhou Shaonan rushed over.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, you have gained a lot from this retreat, haven't you?" Zhou Shaonan couldn't see clearly Chang Xing's cultivation, but he felt that Chang Xing's temperament had changed again. He must have improved a lot in cultivation.
"It's not bad." Chang Xing nodded, and then thanked Zhou Shaonan, "My family has taken great care of you over the years."
"What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Chang? You have helped us so much in the past. If I can't do this little thing, why would I become a white-eyed wolf? We cultivators are most concerned about cause and effect. I have received favors from you, Fellow Daoist Chang, just for these things. , it’s not enough to repay you. But I work hard and I won’t worry about the cycle of cause and effect in the future.” Zhou Shaonan said.
Chang Xing gave Zhou Shaonan a guarantee: "If I can do anything for fellow Taoist Zhou in the future, I will definitely do my best."
Zhou Shaonan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then I would like to thank fellow Taoist Chang."
This is what Zhou Shaonan wants to hear most. Chang Xing's cultivation level is so high, a promise from him is simply priceless.
"There is another thing. The former abbot of the City God's Temple was Taoist Brother Han Huaiyi. But after Han Huaiyi returned to the mainland, he has been retreating in a small world. The City God's Temple has always been supervised by our Rongji Bureau. But after all, our Rongji Bureau is an official It is inconvenient for the organization to come out and take care of the City God's Temple. Are you interested in visiting the City God's Temple?" Zhou Shaonan suddenly remembered something. He wanted to give Chang Xing a favor.
Of course, the City God's Temple is also a hot potato. This City God's Temple was originally Han Huaiyi's territory, and other sects were not willing to take over the temple. They did not want to offend Han Huaiyi. Because of Han Huaiyi's advanced cultivation, ordinary monks would not dare to occupy his backyard. But the City God's Temple is It is an important cultural attraction in the East China Sea. There are many tourists visiting the Chenghuang Temple every day. It can be said that it is prosperous and rich in fertilizer and water.
"Why didn't Senior Brother Han take over the Chenghuang Temple when he came back?" Chang Xing asked.
"As soon as he came back, he went into seclusion not long after. We didn't see anyone, so the City God's Temple naturally didn't get through to him," Zhou Shaonan said.
Zhou Shaonan was not completely lying. Han Huaiyi came back a few years ago to prepare to take over the Chenghuang Temple, but Zhou Shaonan pushed back and blocked Han Huaiyi from taking over. Later, Han Huaiyi simply went into seclusion to practice.
"Okay, I will take over the City God's Temple for my senior brother first. When my senior brother comes back in the future, I will return it to him. I don't know how to manage the City God's Temple." Chang Xing said with some worry.
"You don't have to worry about Fellow Daoist Chang. Even if Fellow Daoist Chang takes over the City God's Temple, the managers here will continue to take care of the affairs in the Temple. From now on, Fellow Daoist Chang will manage it uniformly," Zhou Shaonan said.
The City God's Temple is not a small place, and it is very close to Chang Xing's home. It is surrounded by some very old houses. The place where Chang Xing lives is actually within the area of the City God's Temple.
Chang Xing originally thought that there was only the innermost part of the City God's Temple, but he didn't expect that there were many places around it. There was a lot of incense in the City God's Temple, but it was very quiet inside. This kind of place suited Chang Xing's taste.
In order to get closer to Chang Xing, Zhou Shaonan personally accompanied Chang Xing to the City God's Temple for a tour, visited all the people in the City God's Temple, and cleared a lot of manpower. Finally, he sorted out all the places in the City God's Temple.
Zhou Shaonan sent the City God's Temple to Chang Xing because he hoped to keep Chang Xing in the East China Sea. The first to get the moon is near the water. As long as Chang Xing stays in the East China Sea, he will always be the easiest to benefit.
Wu Wanyi strongly supported Chang Xing in taking over the City God's Temple: "The City God's Temple is a big place. If you are afraid of taking care of such mundane matters, just leave it all to me. Just meditate and cultivate."
"You idiot, why did I have to go out for these few years? Isn't it just to enable you to overcome the obstacles of cultivation? I don't want what happened to my master to happen again in front of me," Chang Xing said.
Wu Wanyi held Chang Xing's hand firmly: "Don't keep worrying about the past."
"Don't worry. If I can't let go of the burden in my heart, I won't be able to break through in my cultivation." Chang Xing said.
"Then do you still plan to take over the City God's Temple?" Wu Wanyi asked.
"Take over. The City God's Temple is a big enough place to take a break from the bustling city. It's also suitable for practicing. I'll arrange it in the City God's Temple so we don't have to go to the mountains anymore. But you don't have to worry about it. Zhou Shaonan will take care of it. Furniture Factory
, you should stop taking care of it in the future and find a reliable person to take over." Chang Xing said.
