Without letting Jiang Xuan wait for long, Jiang Wu picked up a pole and took Father Jiang up to the top of the mountain:
"Mom told you to go down the mountain to eat!"
As he spoke, he put down the pole on his shoulders, pointed at the red knot-like creature in the basket and said:
"Brother, the Wangs sent the earth dragon over this morning."
"They said that Wang Gang woke up this morning, and Taoist priest Shenxiao showed up and accepted Wang Gang as his disciple. This earth dragon is their reward."
"By the way, Wang Gang is their unconscious son."
Placing the basket in front of Jiang Xuan, Jiang Wu poked Dilong with curiosity:
"Brother, is this an earth dragon? Why does it feel similar to an earthworm? It's just a little longer, a little stronger, and a little redder than an earthworm, but there's nothing special about it."
Invoking the Tai Chi Yang Qi and looking at the earth dragon in the basket, Jiang Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Perhaps because he has lived a long time, the spiritual light on this earth dragon is not weak, and it is comparable to the small misfortune before swallowing the five virtues.
"Spiritual things hide themselves, and the same goes for spiritual animals."
"If one glance could make people feel different, then these spiritual beasts would have been captured long ago."
After saying that, Jiang Xuan took out a few crystal feeds from the jade gourd and threw them into the basket.
When the Earth Dragon, who was lying in the basket pretending to be dead, saw the feed, he immediately raised his upper body like a snake, opened a big mouth full of sharp teeth and swallowed the crystal feed.
Even though Earth Dragon has a mouth full of sharp teeth, it only looks ferocious.
Its fighting power is really not that good. It can't even defeat an ordinary adult on the ground.
Even it knows that it is weak and usually doesn't show it to people.
Feeling the inexplicable connection between the earth dragon and himself after swallowing the feed, Jiang Xuan then hung the basket upside down and released the earth dragon:
"From now on, we will stay on Zhushan's fertile land and don't go outside the Zhushan area."
Upon hearing this, Dilong raised his upper body, nodded to Jiang Xuan, and then got into the spiritual field.
"Brother, if you just let it go like this, won't the earth dragons run away?"
Seeing the earth dragon disappearing in a flash, Jiang Wu felt a little flustered.
After so many days, he finally understood the value of these spiritual beasts.
Spiritual beasts commonly used for food are generally worth three to five million, depending on their race.
It is a spiritual beast that can be used as a pet or a beast, and the price starts at one million.
Spiritual beasts with special functions like Earth Dragon are of immeasurable value.
That is to say, the Wang family and his wife had help from their clan members, and their own power was not small, and they often lent the Dilong Gang people free of charge to fertilize their fields.
Otherwise, this Earth Dragon would have been taken away long ago.
When Jiang Xuan heard Jiang Wu's question, he just waved his hand casually:
"The spirit beast can't run away when it reaches the mountain. It's not an old monster, so there's nothing to worry about."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Father Jiang:
"Dad, why do you want me to go home and eat?"
"And who are the people at the foot of the mountain who asked my mother to accompany me? Is it because of them that I was allowed to go back?"
Father Jiang, who had just recovered his breath, put his hands on his hips and replied:
"Second Uncle You and the others have returned from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefectures and are planning to return to Sixi County to settle down."
"No, it's only been two days since I came back. After I settled in, I came to my door with gifts to congratulate you on joining the Taoism."
"Your mother was very happy to see your second uncle back, and wanted to ask you to come down the mountain to meet your second uncle."
The Jiang family has many relatives, but not too many.
Father Jiang has two brothers, his second uncle and third uncle. One sells medicinal materials in the county and the other sells fruits in the town.
In addition, he has three uncles.
Like Jiang's father, the uncle inherited the land from his ancestors and was considered a small landowner.
My second uncle is a businessman. Seven years ago, in order to expand his business, his family moved to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefectures, where the business atmosphere is developed, so he came back during the Chinese New Year.
The third uncle is a scholar, and he fails every year in the imperial examinations. He relies entirely on his elder uncle and his second uncle for support.
After he entered Taoism, his two uncles and his third uncle came to congratulate him, and they also helped him a lot when setting up the flowing water table.
Only my second uncle was far away in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he just sent a letter.
According to the speed of moving in this era, the second uncle may not have planned to move back before receiving the letter.
But recalling the scenes in his memory, Jiang Xuan felt that it would be good for his second uncle to come back.
"The Jiangzhe Prefecture is in chaos. It would be nice for my second uncle to come back and settle down."
"I'll pack up now and go down the mountain."
In the last years of the dynasty, there were not only wars and famines, but also natural disasters that ordinary people could not imagine.
Twelve years ago, Sixi County suffered from two consecutive years of severe drought, followed by three years of locust plagues.
After five consecutive years of natural disasters, the Jiang family can be said to have had nothing to gain.
If it weren't for his second uncle's help, Jiang's father would have already started selling land to pay taxes. How could he earn enough money to support Jiang Xuan's Taoism?
These memories were left behind by his predecessor, but Jiang Xuan inherited everything from his predecessor and felt the same way.
What's more, after reading many Taoist scriptures, Jiang Xuan also had doubts about whether he had traveled through time and was reborn, or whether he had awakened to the wisdom of his previous life.
His current soul is extremely consistent with his body, and there is no barrier at all. The possibility of awakening to the wisdom of his previous life is greater than being reborn.
Shaking his head secretly to suppress the thoughts in his heart, it has come anyway, it doesn't matter whether he is seizing the body or awakening.
The important thing is to follow one's own will in everything and cultivate the Tao in order to seek immortality.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan felt that his soul was clear, and the spread of his consciousness increased by 10% for no reason.
Feeling refreshed, Jiang Xuan was about to go down the mountain, but was blocked by Father Jiang:
"What does it mean to dress up a little and wear a red string on your hair to meet your elders?"
Looking at Father Jiang with a solemn expression, Jiang Xuan was stunned:
"When my second uncle, third uncle, and eldest uncle came here, didn't I go down the mountain like this?"
"Both uncles are close relatives, is it necessary to treat them differently?"
"Brother, you don't understand."
Before Father Jiang could say anything, Jiang Wu, who was squatting behind Jiang Xuan and teasing Xiao Fudou, stood up and spoke:
"Cousin Xie Chuan from my second uncle's family got engaged over there in Jiangzhe Prefecture."
"There was a war in Jiangzhe Prefecture, so when my second uncle and the others came back, they brought the in-laws with them."
Having said this, Jiang Wu suddenly showed a wicked smile:
"My cousin also has a younger sister. Although her face is covered with a scarf, I think she is very beautiful."
"Dad probably has an idea for someone else's girl, and wants you to trick someone else into hooking up with someone else's girl."
Jiang's father stood by and touched his three-inch beard, smiling and saying nothing.
That expression was clearly acquiescence.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan could only stroke his forehead helplessly:
"I have just started practicing Taoism now, and it is the time when I am making rapid progress. I am not ready to focus on the love between my children for the time being."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Father Jiang immediately glared at him:
"Don't bully your father for his lack of knowledge. There are many monks who have married and had children."
"There was someone in Wuling Town next door who started practicing Taoism two years ago. In the same month, he married a wife and three concubines."
"It's better for you. After you enter Taoism, you will stay here on this bamboo mountain every day."
"If we stay like this every day, when will your mother and I have a grandchild?"
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be speechless:
"I know that Taoist priest, he has been practicing Taoism for nearly fifteen years before he entered Taoism. He would have to wait until he is seventy or eighty years old if he wants to go further."
"He is a model with no bright future, so he naturally wants to leave a lasting legacy."
"But your son and I are different!"
"It takes one year for your son to enter Taoism, and within five years he will enter Xiantian."
"But if you are distracted by talking about love, it won't be certain when you will become a Taoist."
