It seems that a lot of things have happened in the secular world during these hundreds of years.
Xu Chunniang shook her head and walked in the direction of Xujia Village in her memory. It didn't take long before she reached the village.
At the entrance of the village, several children were playing and mentioned the Master and the public school, which aroused Xu Chunliang's curiosity.
She walked over and asked several people, "What happened to the master and the public school you just mentioned?"
Several children looked at her warily, closed their mouths, and did not answer.
One of the bolder girls saw that Xu Chunniang didn't look like a bad person, so she asked instead of answering.
"Where are you from, and you don't even know about your master or the public school?"
"I used to live here, but I haven't been back for a long time and I haven't heard of this."
"Have you lived here before? Why haven't I seen you?"
The girl blinked in confusion, not too entangled in this aspect.
"The master is the teacher, and the public school is the place where we learn to read and write.
I heard that there are masters and public schools outside, but where did you come from and you don’t even know about these?"
Xu Chunniang touched her nose in embarrassment. How could she feel that she was being looked down upon by a girl?
"Um...I came back from a very far away place. Is this Xujia Village?"
"Of course it's Xujiacun, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for..."
Subconsciously, Xu Chunniang wanted to say the names of her mother and brother. When she came to her senses, she remembered that most of them were no longer alive.
"Forget it, you don't know even if I tell you, I'd better go find it myself."
Xu Chunniang shook her head, passed several children, and walked towards her hometown in the village.
I originally thought that if the Xu family in Shuanggui Lane was gone, their hometown would definitely be abandoned for a long time.
Unexpectedly, not long after entering the village, I saw seven or eight bright and bright blue brick houses in the distance, replacing the dilapidated huts.
Xu Chunniang's originally silent heart began to beat suddenly.
Apparently, they moved back from Shuanggui Lane.
I just don’t know what happened in the past hundred years, and when they moved back from Shuanggui Lane.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, then directly used Dayan to deduce, and soon she had the answer.
It turns out that in the past hundred years, the world has not been peaceful, and the war has even spread to Taiping County.
In order to escape, the Xu family moved back to the village from the county.
It was not until the past twenty or thirty years that the world was peaceful and the people's lives became easier.
Xu Chunniang approached cautiously and could hear the voices coming from the house, the sound of running water, and the laughter of children running around.
She could no longer hold back and quietly released her spiritual consciousness, scanning all corners of the room.
When her consciousness swept across the ancestral hall and saw clearly the spiritual tablets in the ancestral hall, she finally confirmed that this was his former home.
The people in the house are descendants of my elder brother and elder sister.
Xu Chunniang's eyes were slightly wet, her figure disappeared from the spot, and suddenly appeared in the ancestral hall.
Looking at the neat rows of memorial tablets in the ancestral hall, she seemed to have thousands of words to say in her heart, but in the end she just silently took the incense aside, lit it, and placed it in the incense burner.
Cultivation is a method of transcendence. Unfortunately, even though she has Nascent Soul cultivation, she still has not achieved transcendence.
Watching the incense in the furnace burn to ashes, Xu Chunniang's mind gradually returned to calm.
As a Yuanying monk, her Taoist heart has already been extremely firm.
The road is difficult and long, but she will keep moving forward.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Xu Chunniang originally planned to leave quietly, but finally knocked on the door of the Xu family.
"Who is it?"
A slightly fat middle-aged woman opened the door and looked at her back and forth several times with a confused expression.
"Who are you?"
Xu Chunniang opened her mouth, but in the end she could not tell her identity. She only said, "I am a monk from Youfang, and I happened to pass by here."
"Wandering monk?"
The woman looked at her a few more times with caution, and whispered, "It's true, can't it be a lie?"
Xu Chunniang did not defend herself, "If the children in my family have spiritual roots, they can follow me to practice in the mountains."
As she spoke, she raised her fingertips slightly, and a flame appeared out of thin air, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly increase.
"Oh my God, he is really a spiritual person with cultivation!"
The woman's eyes lit up, she changed her previous hesitant attitude, and respectfully welcomed Xu Chunniang in.
"I was so negligent just now, don't blame me, immortals."
"I don't dare to be an immortal. I'm just a Taoist."
Xu Chunniang shook her head, how could she blame them?
The woman didn't seem to understand. After asking her to sit down in the main room, she called the whole family over.
"Second sister-in-law, you must have read correctly, right? Even if there are immortals, can they come to a small place like our Xujiacun?"
The woman who was called the second sister-in-law snorted coldly, "You will know when you meet her soon. The demeanor of that immortal is different from that of ordinary people like us."
The rest of the people walked into the main room with doubts. In order to convince them, Xu Chunniang had to use a few more small tricks.
"Immortal, you really are an immortal!"
"I heard in the early years that the ancestors of the Xu family had immortals. After all these years of marriage, I haven't noticed any difference. Now I can see it."
"Your Excellency, please accept my humble obeisance."
Xu Chunniang was about to stop her, but then she thought about it and pretended to be a "senior expert", which would make them more convincing.
And these people are, strictly speaking, her juniors, so just bow down to them.
After paying homage to the "immortal", the whole family stood neatly.
"Immortal, all the children in my family are here. Take a closer look. Do they have spiritual roots?"
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, her consciousness swept across the nine children in the room, and her eyes fell on the two at the back.
"The two of them have spiritual roots and can follow me to practice in the mountains."
Everyone was surprised and happy. They didn't have much hope at first, but they didn't expect that their child would really catch the eye of an immortal.
"Immortal, take a closer look. Don't the other seven have spiritual roots?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head and looked at the two children with spiritual roots.
"Practice is difficult. Once you follow me up the mountain, it will be difficult to reunite with your family in the future. Have you thought about it?"
After hearing this, one of the boys shook his head and even burst into tears.
"I don't want to practice, I don't want to go up the mountain, wow..."
Although the other girl didn't cry, she still looked hesitant and didn't know what to choose.
The boy's mother lifted him up and slapped him hard on the buttocks.
"Cultivation is a first-class good thing. You can become an immortal. Others can't even ask for such an opportunity. How dare you not go?"
While she was beating and scolding, she shed tears.
She was reluctant to give away her ten-year-old son, but a mother... couldn't delay her son's future.
However, no matter how she beat and scolded him, the boy still bit him to death and refused to go up the mountain to practice.
The boy's mother wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth.
"Immortal, this child has been spoiled by us. You don't need to worry about him. Just take him up the mountain."
