An hour later, Ye Chen once again took off in the green spirit boat and flew into the distance.
A black eagle with injured wings was lying on the top of the mountain, tilting its head to look at the Qing Lingzhou going away. Its black and clear eyes reflected a slender and straight figure on the Qing Lingzhou.
After giving the black eagle some healing medicine and leaving behind a Taoist secret that monsters could practice, Ye Chen continued on his way.
The healing medicine was very effective, and it took less than two or three hours for the black eagle to fly again. As for the demon technique, it was created by Senior Emei specifically for the training of spirit beasts tamed by Emei disciples. If any Emei disciples tame spirit beasts,
Spiritual beasts can practice this method to increase their strength.
Ye Chen saw that the black eagle was very spiritual and a bird of prey, so he gave it a chance. Whether it could join him in the future would depend on how strong its spiritual understanding was and when it would grow up to a certain level before it could follow him.
With his wings spread only one foot, his body is too small, and he will definitely not be able to stand up to a man like him. He must at least be tall enough to have his wings spread more than ten feet to be majestic.
After leaving Dabai Mountain, he headed south all the way to Yangzhou. He left home for more than three years before coming down the mountain. He had to go home to see his parents before deciding what to do next.
It was very fast to travel by Qing Lingzhou. Even if he took a detour, he had already arrived on the fourth day. This was because he was not familiar with the road and got sidetracked.
The flying boat landed far away from Yangzhou City where no one could see it. He changed into a white knight's uniform and carried an ancient sword with pine patterns on his back. A handsome young knight appeared on the official road.
As he approached Yangzhou City, there were more people on the official road, and his extremely handsome appearance attracted everyone's attention.
It was okay at first. Ordinary people would only look at him from a distance when they saw a handsome guy like him. But when he got closer to Yangzhou City, he found that someone was following him intentionally. He pretended to look behind him occasionally and saw two people wearing black headscarves riding on the street.
The big man on the horse accidentally saw a hint of...obscene light in their eyes.
emmm...
Ye Chen didn't know what to say. He was speechless even if he met such a person casually.
Fortunately, there were many people on the official road, and he was about to go to Yangzhou Fucheng. In addition, he was carrying a long sword and seemed to have martial arts skills. The two people just followed him intentionally or unintentionally, and did not do anything.
Entering Yangzhou City, a familiar feeling hits your face.
Yangzhou City is the capital city of Yangzhou Prefecture. It is considered a big city in this world. The streets are densely populated and there are many shops in the streets. The sound of vendors and salesmen on both sides can be heard all the way, just like walking on the River Along the River during the Qingming Festival.
The broad street is paved with bluestone slabs. Even in ancient times, it was kept extremely clean and pleasing to the eye.
After walking around the main street for a few times, we came to the east of the city. This is the area where the wealthy and high-ranking officials of Yangzhou City live. Ye Chen's father in this life was a magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture and a fifth-rank official, and he also lived here.
In the world of Shushan, the highest administrative level of the ordinary court is the prefecture, which is divided into two levels: county and county. The chief official of the first prefecture is the prefect, a fourth-rank official, and the co-prefect is equivalent to the deputy prefect. The number is uncertain, there may be one, there may be two
or more, Yangzhou is a big mansion, and there are two colleagues. In other words, Ye Chen's father is the second or third in command in Yangzhou mansion, with great power. He is also a serious official son.
.
In front of a large house on Yangzhou East Street, two servants behind stone lions saw a handsome and shameless young hero standing in front of the door. They were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and shouted happily:
"Second Young Master, you are back!"
Another servant even ran into the courtyard and shouted:
"Master, the second young master is back."
Soon there was a noise in the mansion, and the door creaked open. A beautiful middle-aged woman in brocade and satin came out surrounded by maids. She saw a look of joy on Ye Chen's face.
Stepping forward to look at his appearance carefully, he reached out and hugged him into his arms, whispering softly:
"My son, you are finally back. Mom misses you so much!"
This familiar maternal love... Ye Chen relaxed his whole body and let the beautiful woman hold him. Since he had taken over her son's body, he should regard it as a return of his wish and fulfill his filial piety.
When he returned to the big house, his grandparents, aunts, and relatives all gathered around him. His thoughts that had just arisen were instantly shattered, and he felt that he would definitely go crazy if he stayed here longer.
"Chen'er, you're back. Did you have a good time in the mountains? Is there anything delicious?"
"You see Chen'er has lost weight. She must not be eating well. Chen'er's mother-in-law will blame you..."
"I heard that people are living in poverty in the mountains. I will send two chefs there next time. I heard that Uncle Zhang's son in the mansion can cook five major cuisines, so I asked him to serve..."
"Is there any girl on Chen'er Mountain? You are so old, you should have two bed-warming maids. In a few days..."
"Chen'er, my mother heard that..."
Ye Chen stiffened his face and endured the discomfort while waiting for his three aunts, six aunts, and relatives to leave. He thought he was going to breathe a sigh of relief, but his father and his eldest brother, who was the magistrate of Zhenjiang County, rushed back. As soon as they saw him, his father said:
"I don't know how many years have passed since I went up to the mountain to practice. My father knew that my mother missed you very much after you left. I thought about it for a while and made a marriage proposal for you. You are the daughter of the brother of the magistrate. I also went to the mountain to practice like you. I heard that since I was a child,
I went up the mountain, and now that I have made some achievements, I came down the mountain. I will choose an auspicious day in a few days to meet him."
"Sleep in a bad way!"
Ye Chen didn't expect such a thing to happen when he returned home, so he shook his head and said:
"My father doesn't know that before our cultivation reaches a certain level, we must remain a child, otherwise we will suffer a loss. Let's wait until our son has achieved success!"
"Don't be in a hurry, little brother, you can make an appointment first and consummate the marriage later!"
The eldest brother's words immediately left him speechless.
But then I thought about it, this is the best way. Anyway, it’s not up to you to decide when your cultivation will be successful. Let’s look at the situation first and delay it if you can. No matter how beautiful you are... He doesn’t mind earning a house.
middle.
After staying at home for two days, Ye Chen left Yangzhou City on the third day in the name of visiting friends and went to Qingyun Temple to find Taoist Qingyun.
This time, I didn't take a flying boat, but left on horseback with a few guards. There was a dense population near Yangzhou City, so it was easy for mortals to spot the flying boat taking off and landing.
Soon they arrived near Qingyun Mountain. From a distance, they could see Qingyun Mountain right in front of them, but Ye Chen suddenly reached out and pulled the horse's reins, stopped and looked forward, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
He saw that the clear sky on Qingyun Mountain was shrouded in a faint layer of black mist, and he could vaguely see the outline of the thousand-year-old tree. A faint cyan light pillar soared into the sky from the top of the mountain, and there were probably hundreds of black shadows.
The fog went back and forth and kept falling.
"Is there a demon from the Demon Sect attacking the mountain?"
After standing looking at the sky for a long time, he turned back and said to the guard:
"If you wait here for me, don't follow me. I'll go and come back."
The captain of the guard shook his head like a drum and said:
"The master has an order for us to follow the young master all the time and never leave."
