Three days later, Huafang's sailing speed suddenly dropped.
After continuously decelerating for a short distance, the light suddenly dimmed.
When the light came back on, Xu Chong and the others were already on a wide deck.
"This...is the building boat you are talking about?"
Xu Chong was extremely surprised.
The towering courtyard wall, the grand main entrance, the main chambers that are stacked up one after another inward...
This is actually a seven-story mansion built on a boat!
And the seven-story building at the deepest point is probably hundreds of feet away from here.
It's more than a hundred feet long... This is not a building ship, it's as big as an aircraft carrier!
The standing deck alone is as big as a football field.
"It's just a building boat."
Hua Nongyue nodded matter-of-factly, pulled Xu Chong up and walked forward.
"Welcome Miss Nong Yue and Miss Yu Rong back home!"
A woman about fifty years old led nearly a hundred beautiful maids in various colored dresses out of the house, and they all bowed.
After bowing, the woman stepped forward and smiled, "Is this my uncle? What a talented person he is."
"Aunt Feng, this is Nong Yue's husband, Xu Chong."
Hua Nongyue smiled and introduced to Xu Chong: "Husband, this is Aunt Feng, the housekeeper of Lou Chuan. If you need anything, you can talk to Aunt Feng."
"Thank you Aunt Feng."
Xu Chong nodded.
"Don't dare."
Aunt Feng waved her hands repeatedly, then turned sideways and said, "You two ladies, Mr. Xu, the old lady is already waiting in Taiyin Pavilion. Please come with me."
"I won't go. Aunt Feng will help me sue the old lady."
Sun Yourong took the first step, without saying a word, crossed the threshold and left.
"this……"
Aunt Feng was stunned and asked tentatively: "Miss Yurong seems to be in a bad mood?"
"Has Aunt Feng noticed it too?"
Hua Nongyue showed a hint of helplessness, "This damn girl, even if I ask her what's wrong, she won't tell her... This is the first time I've seen her like this in so many years."
"Is that so?"
Aunt Feng thought thoughtfully and said, "Miss and uncle, let's go visit the old lady first. I'll go and see Miss Yurong."
"It's okay, you brought me up, and I'm relatively close to you."
Hua Nongyue turned her head, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please."
Xu Chong laughed, scratched the bridge of Hua Nongyue's nose, then put his hands behind his back and stepped in first.
"Is that my uncle?"
"She looks so good..."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm a perfect match for Miss Nong Yue."
"If I can find such a perfect husband in the future, I will be content in this life."
"..."
All the maids were chattering.
"Ahem."
Aunt Feng's face was straight, "You bunch of toads also want to eat swan meat? Do whatever you have to do!"
The girls shrank their necks, ran away laughing.
Aunt Feng shook her head.
Thinking of Xu Chong's grand and majestic manner just now, I felt a little curious.
"Why does this uncle look so much like an official?"
…
…
Taiyin Pavilion is the seven-story building on the seventh day of entering the courtyard.
This is not only the residence of the helmsman of the Hua family, but also the place where the entire ship is controlled.
When the two arrived, Mrs. Hua was sitting at the main seat in the main hall on the first floor, holding a dragon-head crutch with one hand and an expressionless face.
Xu Chong cupped his hands: "Junior Xu Chong, I have met Mrs. Hua."
"Nong Yue pays homage to Grandma."
The flowers make a gift and the moon shines.
After standing up, he naturally held Xu Chong's hand.
Mrs. Hua saw this scene, but not only did she not feel dissatisfied, but she felt slightly relieved.
"Damn girl, from what Nan Ruyi said, were you planning to go with him?"
Mrs. Hua snorted.
Hua Nongyue nodded calmly, "My grandma is still the better one."
"..."
Mrs. Hua took a look at Hua Nongyue and asked, "How long will it take for you to reach the ninth level of body washing?"
Obviously, the question is not about the realm, but when can we get married.
Even though Hua Nongyue knew this, she couldn't help but blush. She glanced at Xu Chong secretly and lowered her head slightly: "If you practice wholeheartedly, it will take about half a year."
"Half a year?"
Mrs. Hua seemed to be relieved and said to Xu Chong: "Although this matter seems a bit forced, I think you are also satisfied with Nong Yue. How about staying at Hua's house for half a year?"
"What about half a year from now?"
Xu Chong asked.
"In half a year, I will preside over your marriage to Nong Yue."
Mrs. Hua smiled and said, "At that time, if you want to return to the court, I will arrange a play to lure Dou Tianyuan to rescue you and restore your official status... Of course, if you are willing to stay in the Hua family, that would be great.
But."
"Is that so?"
Xu Chong pondered for a moment and said, "I will take Nong Yue away when the time comes."
"The husband sings and the wife follows suit, that's how it should be."
Mrs. Hua was not surprised.
But Xu Chong was surprised.
Isn't this old lady spending so much time just to train a successor?
If the successor is taken away by you, how can you take over?
Seeing Xu Chong's doubts, Mrs. Hua laughed and said: "I still have a few years to live, and I am not yet anxious to break up the new couple. What's more, I still hope that you can add more money to the Hua family."
Where is my son?"
I see.
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
If that's the case, then there's no harm in staying at Hua's house for half a year.
"In addition, in the past six months, Nong Yue has to devote himself to practice and has no time to take care of others. You can choose some maids in the house to accompany you."
Mrs. Hua added.
Xu Chong was stunned.
"No need to be surprised."
Mrs. Hua waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "The Hua family is founded on women and has developed into one of the six major families because the daughters of the Hua family know the ways of women."
Deep understanding of womanhood...
Xu Chong turned to look.
Sure enough, Hua Nongyue didn't show any strange expression.
Actually, think about it.
When the Hua family was established, it must have started from a weak position.
If you want to grow stronger, you must continue to attract outstanding talents to become the sons-in-law of the Hua family, but outstanding people are arrogant... It is inevitable that the Hua family will develop this unique way of life.
"No need."
Xu Chong shook his head, "Just prepare a quiet room for me, I'm going to make a breakthrough too."
"Um?!"
Mrs. Hua's expression changed: "Are you able to cultivate Taoism?"
I originally thought that Dou Tianyuan did not want Xu Chong to break through so quickly, and he meant at least half a year...
Now it seems like a breakthrough can be made at any time?
"What's wrong?"
Xu Chong was puzzled, "Isn't it normal to wash one's body in the ninth level and practice Taoism?"
"normal?"
Mrs. Hua's old face twitched, "Do you know how dangerous the cultivation method is? If you do it randomly, if the cultivation method fails, it will be a waste of several years... and it may even affect the wedding date."
"Don't worry about this, I'm sure of it."
Xu Chong waved his hand.
Mrs. Hua stared at Xu Chong for a while, and finally nodded: "That's up to you, but I have to tell you in advance that if you fail, the wedding date will continue to be postponed."
As soon as these words came out, Hua Nongyue's hands tightened.
"I will not fail."
Xu Chong smiled and gave Hua Nongyue a reassuring look.
In this way, the two of them each obtained a separate space in Taiyin Pavilion for full-hearted cultivation.
A bit too much.
Mrs. Hua gave the top floor of the seventh floor to Xu Chong, and placed Hua Nongyue on the fifth floor... while she was stuck on the sixth floor in the middle.
It's obviously a matter of beating a mandarin duck, but it's also called to prevent the two of them from being distracted.
Hua Nongyue was very dissatisfied with this and wanted to protest, but she remembered Xu Chong's words of "fighting for one life", and gradually calmed down and entered the state of cultivation with emotion.
Half a month later.
[Name: Xu Chong]
[Realm: Ninth Level of Body Washing]
[Dharma: Chunyang Body Cleansing Record (Transcendence into Sainthood)]
[Side Skills: Reaching for the Stars (comprehension), Greed of Light (first practice for beginners)]
[Rule: Immortality (expends 10,000 spiritual sources to activate)]
[Lingyuan:80]
"This building ship can actually generate spiritual energy?"
Xu Chong was a little surprised, "One o'clock in half a month, although it is less, it is already comparable to the county government of Canglong County... Is it because of the Taoist tools or the Huajia headquarters?"
"It should be the latter."
"The county government can become a spiritual place because it gathers public opinion."
"Although the Hua family can't gather public opinion, it is one of the six major families on Taiping Road... there is no problem in gathering some anti-thief intentions."
"No matter, half a month has passed, and a breakthrough now is not outrageous."
Xu Chong's thoughts dropped.
In an instant, all the Yang-holding strength in the whole body was twisted into a bundle by an invisible force, like an arrow.
The place where he had been searching for the Tao since he woke up suddenly appeared in Xu Chong's consciousness.
The lake, as smooth as a mirror, rippled in circles at this moment.
The black and yellow clouds are intertwined and billowing endlessly.
Above the two, there is a hazy purple palace that cannot be seen clearly.
The palace door opened a gap, revealing a vast golden light.
Xu Chong knew that this was the time to choose a place to cultivate Taoism.
then.
The arrow turned around and aimed at the palace door.
"Open it for me!"
Xu Chong's mind relaxed.
Like an arrow leaving the string, it shoots out with great force.
moment.
The Realm column and the Dharma column on the panel all disappeared.
