"arrive."
Xiang Yang took a car with Chen Dingbang to the Chen family. Along the way, Chen Dingbang told Xiang Yang about the development of the Chen family this year, which made Xiang Yang know more about the current situation of the Chen family.
At this moment, the car stopped at the entrance of the Chen family's manor. Chen Dingbang introduced, "There are not many people in the Chen family now, but the area of the manor given by the Xiang family at that time was too large. There are still many empty houses in the manor." But it’s a bit of a waste.”
"It doesn't matter, the available place is just right for the people from the Wolf Soul Special Forces Brigade to stay."
Xiang Yang opened the car door with a soft smile, "Let's get out of the car and go for a walk."
"good."
Chen Dingbang also got out of the car, and the two walked side by side towards the Chen family manor. Perhaps because two people in the Chen family worked in the government, there was nothing too luxurious in terms of decoration. Instead, there were green mountains and green waters everywhere, which made it more Close to nature.
"It's not bad. There are less open spaces. Looking back, I asked Xiang Feng to find a way to buy the surrounding land and incorporate it into the Chen family manor." However, what left Chen Dingbang speechless was that Xiang Yang was watching After realizing that the Chen family had so much open space, they were still not satisfied and were ready to continue to expand the Chen family's territory.
"The old man already feels that the remaining space is too big, and is planning to open a vegetable field to grow vegetables. Do you want to expand it further and let the old man order more vegetables?" Chen Dingbang rolled his eyes at Xiang Yang and said angrily.
"What, the old man is going to plant vegetables?"
Xiang Yang was stunned after hearing this, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, "Is the old man so leisurely on weekdays?"
"Of course, the old man has nothing to do all day except playing chess and Tai Chi with some old friends. Moreover, the third generation of the Chen family has not had a baby yet, and the old man has no grandchildren to play with at the moment. , He is now thinking about opening a vegetable garden and growing some vegetables by himself, which can be regarded as a leisure time. "
Chen Dingbang chuckled and said, "I envy the old man's life very much. When I get old, I can also grow vegetables with the old man. Xianyun Yehe is very good."
"Where is the old man practicing?" Xiang Yang was speechless, but when he thought about it, he felt that this was very consistent with the temperaments of Chen Dingbang and Mr. Chen. After all, among the three brothers of the Chen family, Chen Dingbang's temperament was closest to that of Mr. Chen. The same thoughts are normal.
However, Xiang Yang is worried about Mr. Chen's cultivation. The old man is not young anymore. Although Xiang Yang cleanses his marrow from the Yi Ching and helps with some elixirs, the old man's health improves a lot. However, if If the old man doesn't practice well, he will eventually grow old.
"He hardly practices. According to the old man, doing Tai Chi on weekdays is enough. As for the rest, he feels that life and death are determined by fate, so he just lets nature take its course." When Chen Dingbang talked about the old man's practice, he also revealed A look of helplessness.
Although Chen Dingbang's temperament is very similar to that of the old man, he is not as ungrateful to practice as the old man. Although Chen Dingbang is very busy, he has a fixed two hours of practice time every day, plus some pills left by Xiang Yang. Help, he is now a master in the innate realm.
"I'm dizzy. The old man must be too ambitious. I taught him the exercises back then and helped him cleanse the marrow of the Yi Ching. His cultivation conditions are definitely no less than those of young people. He didn't seize the opportunity to practice properly. ..."
Xiang Yang smiled helplessly. He did not expect that Mr. Chen would waste the good conditions he created for him and plan to grow vegetables to live out his old age. This is simply a waste of resources.
But thinking about Mr. Chen's free and easy character, Xiang Yang suddenly felt that it was normal. The old man himself didn't care much about life and death. As long as he was in good health, he would naturally not care about cultivation.
"As the saying goes, Taoism is natural. If the old man's mentality is used in cultivating Taoism well, he might actually have great achievements."
Xiang Yang said softly, suddenly feeling something in his heart, looking forward, and immediately laughed.
"Haha, I was just wondering why the magpies kept chirping today. It turns out it's my grandson-in-law who's here. He's very happy."
Not far in front of them, an old man wearing cheesecloth and carrying a small hoe happened to pass by. When he saw Xiang Yang, he laughed happily.
"Old man, you... are really elegant."
When Xiang Yang saw it, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. At this moment, the old man really looked like an old man growing vegetables in the countryside. With simple clothes and a hoe on his shoulder, if he was walking in the countryside, Who could recognize that he is Mr. Chen who has educated countless elites and has three outstanding sons
"Haha, if you have nothing to do, just plant some vegetables and have fun, cultivate yourself and return to nature. It is indeed a kind of enjoyment for us."
Mr. Chen put aside his efforts and walked quickly towards Xiang Yang while laughing.
Xiang Yang also walked forward quickly, laughed and held the old man's hand. The old man was already in his seventies or eighties. When Xiang Yang met him a year ago, he almost lost his life. If Xiang Yang had not tried his best to save him, his body would probably have rotted by now.
However, due to Xiang Yang's rescue at all costs, and his later help with the I Ching cleansing, the old man now acted as if he were forty or fifty years old, and did not look like an old man in his seventies or eighties at all.
"Xiaoyang, the old man misses you so much. You are finally back. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
Mr. Chen held Xiang Yang's hand tightly, looked at Xiang Yang carefully, and couldn't help but sigh. As the head of the Chen family, he had naturally heard about the rumors of Xiang Yang's disappearance a year ago. At first, At that time, he heard a lot of news that Xiang Yang was dead, which made Mr. Chen even more sad. If it hadn't been for the dissuasion of several people in the Chen family, especially Chen Menglong, who told him that Xiang Yang would not die so easily, he would not have died so easily. It would not be so easy to open a vegetable garden in the open space of the Chen family for arbitration.
Seeing Xiang Yang back at this moment, although Mr. Chen was not in tears, he was still very excited. The hand holding Xiang Yang was trembling, showing how unpeaceful the old man was at this moment.
"What does the old man want from me, but do you want to play chess with me?"
Xiang Yang laughed, with a teasing look on his face, "Unfortunately, the old man should know that your old chess skills are really no match for me."
At this moment, Xiang Yang could naturally feel the old man's trembling, and he was very emotional, knowing that this old man really cared about him very much. He deliberately mentioned playing chess just to liven up the atmosphere and allow the old man to get out of such an excited state of mind. After coming out, although the old man is now in very good health due to his cultivation, his mood swings are too great, which is really not good for his health.
"Yes, I also know that my chess skills are no match for you, but I can beat you every time. I can beat you, haha."
Mr. Chen laughed heartily, with a very proud look on his face, "You are my grandson-in-law. Although you are also my savior, you are my grandson-in-law in terms of seniority. You don't dare to defeat me, ah Hahaha... "
"We haven't seen each other for a year. The old man has become a lot younger."
Xiang Yang couldn't help but laugh. He just thought that the old man was really interesting. He actually knew how to show such a rogue expression. However, compared with the old man before who would kneel down and call his benefactor when he saw him, the old man in front of him was This humorous old man is even more likable.
"Hahaha... ... "
At this moment, not only the old man, but even Chen Dingbang also laughed out loud. At the same time, he was also sighing in his heart. Mr. Chen had already walked through the gate of hell several times, and Xiang Yang brought him back every time. Nowadays, the Chen family has reached the peak of glory, and everything is related to Xiang Yang.
Thousands of words and countless words of gratitude need not be said at this moment, because Xiang Yang is his son-in-law and a member of the Chen family. There is no need for any words of thanks between the family.
Mr. Chen had the same idea as Chen Dingbang, so when he saw Xiang Yang at this moment, he was just happy and overjoyed to see his relatives return.
"Let's go for a walk and play chess. The old man is alone and bored to death."
Mr. Chen didn't waste a moment, and directly pulled Xiang Yang towards a courtyard. As for Chen Dingbang, he had long ignored him. He smiled helplessly, but followed him.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at Mr. Chen's courtyard. The old man acted vigorously and without saying a word, he directly set up the chessboard and started fighting with Xiang Yang.
"Not to mention anything else, my old man's chess skills have improved a lot this year. This time, you must not give in to me. I must rely on my true strength to beat you once. Otherwise, my old man will not be willing to give in. ”
Despite his age, Mr. Chen suddenly came to life when he really faced Xiang Yang, as if he was on the battlefield. He has devoted his whole life to education and is a very outstanding educator. His students are all over the country and abroad, and there are students of the old man in various industries. However, at this moment, he is like a victorious general who will not succumb to Xiang Yang's victory. At this moment, he wants to surpass Xiang Yang, and he must rely on His own strength openly surpassed Xiang Yang.
"Okay, now that the old man has spoken like this, I really have to go all out."
Xiang Yang laughed and started playing chess with Mr. Chen. For a while, the two of them were inseparable on the chessboard. Mr. Chen was so involved that he didn't even notice the arrival of other members of the Chen family.
On the contrary, Xiang Yang had a faint smile on his face. For him at this level, he could see the mountains, rivers and universe in a single thought, his thoughts were flying, and he could immediately gain insights into the situation. He was just playing chess with Mr. Chen. In fact, there was nothing. It's different from playing with children.
At this moment, while Xiang Yang was playing chess, his spiritual consciousness swept across the Chen family's manor. Then, countless streams of light flew out of the Nashen Ring in his hand and fell into various directions of the Chen family. among.
At the same time, in a situation that ordinary people couldn't see, Xiang Yang's soul jumped out from above his head and appeared directly above the Chen family. He himself formed seals with his hands, and mysterious runes emerged from between his hands. The space flies out.
At this moment, Xiang Yang was setting up an array. While arranging a protective array for the Chen family, it also had the effect of the spirit gathering array. The Chen family decided that in this secular world, Xiang Yang would naturally provide the Chen family with the best protection. A favorable environment requires first of all a guardian formation to protect the Chen family from being invaded by powerful enemies, and then a spirit gathering formation that gathers the spiritual energy within a hundred miles within the Chen family, transforming the Chen family into a Everywhere is a holy land for cultivation. Let them practice in the Chen family, which is no less than practicing in the Taoist holy land.
If it were in the past, considering Xiang Yang's complete ignorance of formations, he would not be able to set up a formation, let alone break it. However, Xiang Yang is different now. After refining the Demon Lord, he obtained everything from the Demon Lord. His understanding of formations is equivalent to that of a brand new Demon Lord. Although he has not yet truly digested it and made it his own knowledge, it is enough for him to set up a defensive and spirit-gathering formation for the Chen family.
"Why do I feel like the spiritual energy in my family has changed?"
After Xiang Yang's formation was completed, the power of the spirit gathering array was immediately unleashed, and all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles was gathered. At this moment, it had an effect, and the entire Xiang family , the spiritual energy became more intense than usual, which made the people of the Chen family who were practicing suddenly feel very surprised.
"Did I sense it wrong? Or maybe my perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become stronger. This is really great."
"Haha, my cultivation will definitely break through again, but I don't know when I will be able to catch up with Brother Menglong..."
There are indeed not many people in the Chen family. Apart from some necessary servants, there are only relatives of the Chen family. The younger generation has become the main body of cultivation. They spend most of their time In terms of cultivation, everyone is chasing Chen Menglong.
At this moment, they found that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had become more intense. They were surprised at first, but then they felt that maybe their cultivation had improved and their compatibility with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had become stronger, and they were very excited.
These people in the Chen family didn't know about Xiang Yang's arrival yet. They were still cultivating, but they were from the older generation. After the three brothers Chen Dingbang came back, they all came to Mr. Chen's other courtyard and met Mr. Chen and Xiang Yang. It's hard to tell whether they are killing each other on the chessboard.
"The old man hasn't played chess for a long time. After Xiang Yang came, it was not easy for the old man to find a chess partner. It was really not easy."
