To Raise a Soul

One week after Magu left, the New Year arrived as scheduled.

This week, Yu Zhen and Yin Yan stayed in the nursery most of the time, helping Weng Xiping to keep an eye on the progress of the nursery's reconstruction.

The team that was invited to catch up with the work was very professional, and the speed of reconstruction was very fast. The nursery almost changed every day.

"The small buildings for hospitality should be completed in the next year, and the interior decoration is expected to be completed by the end of February and early March, just in time for the wedding. The exterior works such as road fences have been completed for most of the year. The busy ones are mainly because the nursery is in order, so we need to hire a group of flower farmers.”

Yu Zhen nodded after listening to Weng Xiping's project progress report, and said, "I'll organize the nursery here myself, and the flower farmers I invite can only be in charge of that side. Yin Yan helped me find a batch Professional workers will start to work after the next year, plus the previous workers, there are enough people here.”

Weng Xiping thought of his capable and worry-free hired workers, nodded, and replied: "I understand, the flowers in the nursery here are more expensive, and it's better to arrange them only with the hands you can trust. I'll go first Yes, there is a new batch of materials that I need to hand over."

"Thank you Uncle Weng."

Yu Zhen got up and sent him out, took a look at the drastically changed nursery outside, squinted his eyes to enjoy the warm winter sun, turned around and went straight to the small kitchen behind, rushed in and hugged Yin Yan's waist.

"It smells so good, where's my roasted rabbit leg?"

"The roasting hasn't started yet, wait for a while." Yin Yan pushed his head back, stirred the soup in the pot, and asked sideways, "Where's Uncle Weng?"

"Let's go, I said that I want to hand over the materials." Yu Zhen turned his head to look at the soup pot, and found a faint aura floating in the soup. He was amused, and asked, "You let nothing go to dig wild vegetables in the space again?"

It is said to be wild vegetables, but they are actually some wild edible spiritual plants. Eating more can stabilize the spiritual energy. Recently, Yin Yan likes to use them to enhance the flavor when cooking soup.

"It's also idle when it's idle." Yin Yan replied, turned off the fire and got the soup out of the pot, wiped his hands and turned around to hug him, seeing his smiling and happy face, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, he lowered his head and kissed his eyes.

Yu Zhen raised her head directly and let his kiss fall on her lips.

The two exchanged a gentle kiss amidst the smell of food in the room. Before his body reacted, Yu Zhen backed away a little, raised his hand to touch his face, and said, "Yin Yan, come back with me to see grandpa."

Yin Yan held his hand, kissed his palm lightly, nodded: "OK."

On the night of New Year's Eve, the Yin family had a lively reunion dinner together and kept vigil.

After the New Year's bell rang, everyone yawned and said Happy New Year together, said good night to each other, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

After returning to their room, Yu Zhen and Yin Yan changed their clothes and arrived at the cemetery in Lianhuagou Village.

There was no ban on whipping in the countryside, and when the two of them landed, people in the village had just started setting off firecrackers for the New Year, and the crackling sound could be heard from a distance.

After a period of time, the cemetery that was once affected by evil cultivators has returned to normal, and the protective magic circle is shining on the periphery, protecting the souls resting in this land.

Yu Zhen walked to Grandpa Yu's tomb, first bowed down and saluted, then knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and finally sat cross-legged in front of the stele.

Yin Yan also knelt down with him, with a serious expression.

"If Grandpa is still alive, he will jump up in shock when he sees an old man like you kneeling like this." Yu Zhen teased with a smile, pulled him to sit beside him, and started to take out food.

Eight-treasure rabbit diced, spicy chicken diced, beef sauce, peanuts, flower cake, Zhuangyuanhong... Big fish and meat, small wine and side dishes, desserts and fruits were placed in a lot, all made by Yu Zhen himself.

"This reunion dinner is a bit late." He said, took out three wine glasses and placed them in front of himself, Yin Yan and the tombstone respectively, picked up the wine and filled them up, looked at the tombstone, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you can rest assured Now, I have fought invincible opponents all over the cultivation world, and no one can bully me except Yin Yan."

The tombstone couldn't answer, Yin Yan glanced sideways at him, picked up the wine glass and lightly touched the glass in front of the tombstone, drank it down, and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaozhen."

Yu Zhen also glanced at him sideways, picked up the wine glass and touched the wine glass in front of the tombstone, raised his neck and drank it down, then buckled the wine glass, and said, "Grandpa doesn't like young people drinking blindly. enough."

Yin Yan quietly followed suit and turned the wine glass upside down.

"Grandpa, the food is getting cold, eat it quickly." Yu Zhen put his hands on his legs to support his chin, reached out and touched the words on the tombstone, his eyes were a little red, "You have waited so long for me, now I'm fine , you go to reincarnate quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."

At the beginning, Qing Xuzi gambled on Yu Zhen's vitality with all his cultivation, and his soul could not be reincarnated. Now that Yu Zhen has entered the stage of Taoism, he is completely different from ordinary people, and his soul has been completed. Qing Xuzi won the bet, and his soul is restored. Freed, you can reincarnate.

The night wind was blowing gently. After a long time, Yu Zhen wiped his eyes, looked at the tombstone and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, are you really not going to come out to meet me?"

There was no movement of a soul body in the tomb.

Yin Yan raised his hand and touched his head, and said: "Qing Xuzi is a monk, and he has a great fortune. After his soul and body are free, he will not wander in the world. He has probably been favored by heaven and is preparing for reincarnation."

Yu Zhen felt a little regretful, but also happy for Grandpa.

"With the blessing of heaven, I should be able to cast a super super good tire... that's good, it's good." He rubbed his eyes, then looked at the tombstone, smiled and stretched out his hand to touch it, "Then grandpa, you If you can hear it, please take the time to entrust me with a dream, I miss you very much."

The tombstone still didn't give him any response, so he pursed his lips and smiled again, picked up the wine glass in front of the tombstone and sprinkled the wine in front of the tomb, burned the vegetables that had been half-cooled by the night wind with a real fire, and stood up .

"Grandpa, happy new year, I will come to see you again when I have time, remember to entrust me with dreams."

He bowed towards the tombstone, looked at Yin Yan who also stood up and bowed to the tombstone beside him, held his hand, and said, "Let's go and see the little mountain god, I don't know how it is recovering .”

Yin Yan held his hand back, hugged him sideways, and looked at the tombstone one last time, shrinking into an inch.

With the care of the formation, the little mountain god is recovering well. The bare branches have grown leaves again, and the branches are thicker and taller. It is estimated that it will be back to normal after a while.

Yu Zhen was very happy, regardless of the attack of the tree branch of the small mountain god, he hugged it and kissed it vigorously, and gave it a lot of merit and spiritual energy, and then reluctantly said goodbye and left.

This year's New Year was very quiet, the Yin family didn't have any relatives to leave, Qiu Feiqian pushed all the gatherings in the business district, the family was completely free, eating and drinking at home every day, busy with wedding preparations, and the days were extremely comfortable.

Yin Le, who was already about the same height as Yin Yan, actually gained ten catties after a year. When school started, she wailed desperately in front of the mirror, afraid to go to school, for fear that Bu Lian would see her current appearance.

"So what's the matter with being ten catties fatter? It's better for boys to be stronger." Qiu Feiqian didn't understand the feelings of young people at all, and only thought that his hypocrisy was a disease.

Yin Lesheng had nothing to love, and complained tearfully: "I'm not strong anymore, look at my belly. Brother Yu, you and brother should stop studying cooking together every day, it's so delicious, if you eat too much, you'll get fat."

"They are studying the wedding banquet menu. You are the one who is greedy. Who is to blame for gaining weight? Why didn't you see that your father and I gained ten pounds?" Qiu Feiqian patted him, pinched his shoulder, and rolled his eyes. It's not too troublesome, you still have to change your dress, and you've gained ten catties, so you won't be able to fit in what you ordered before."

"Don't! Don't change it! There is more than a month before the wedding, ten catties, I can lose weight!" Yin Le jumped up to protest, pinching the little flesh on his stomach, "With such a small amount of meat, I can lose weight after playing a few games. Mom, you are not allowed to change it, or the clothes will definitely be too big by then!"

Qiu Feiqian was amused by his appearance, smiled and glared at him, and said: "You said this, but don't blame me for the dress not fitting, that's all, pack your things quickly, don't you have to report the roll call at night, don't late."

Without further ado, Yin Le started to pack his luggage, and confidently decided to retreat to reduce his fat for half a month after returning to school, and then go out to "encounter" with Bu Lian.

Yu Zhen, who was watching the play, looked sideways at Yin Yan, stretched out his hand to poke his abdominal muscles, and said intentionally, "You've gained weight too."

Yin Yan grabbed his hand and scratched his palm.

Yu Zhen shrank back out of fear, turned around and saw Qiu Feiqian looking at him, coughed lowly, and stepped forward to help Yin Le pack things together, pretending to be calm.

On the way back after seeing off Yin Le, Qiu Feiqian asked about Magu again, and was concerned about when she would return to China.

After knowing Magu's existence, Qiu Feiqian has been preparing for a meeting with Magu. During the Chinese New Year, she asked Yu Zhen to spread the word, hoping to take Magu over to celebrate the New Year together. After all, it is pitiful for Magu to be abroad alone.

At that time, Yu Zhen used the reason that Aunt Ma was busy going through various procedures to push back the New Year together. Now that the New Year is over, February is too short, it will pass in the blink of an eye, and the wedding in March is just around the corner. Officially see below.

"Magu's overseas house needs to be dealt with, and the sale is a bit slow. It is estimated that she will come back in late February." Yu Zhen replied.

Late February, so late.

Qiu Feiqian raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded to express her understanding, and quickly changed the subject.

The menu of the engagement banquet, the arrangement of the nursery, the decoration of the small building of the nursery... The whole February hastily passed by confirming various trivial matters.

On the first day of March, Magu landed at the airport in City B with her new identity certificate.

Yu Zhenhou was at the exit, watching Magu, who was obviously more than ten years old, walk up to him, staring at her pocket.

"You, how...how did you make yourself like this?"

A puppet can change its appearance at will. After all, the entity is only a skeleton, and the flesh and blood are all illusioned.In the past, Magu always kept her young appearance when she died, and she liked to transform into a long red dress, looking like Yu Zhen's sister, not her mother.

The current Magu is obviously much older, her hair has been curled, her makeup has changed, her clothes have become simple and smart, and she exudes an elegant and calm atmosphere from the inside to the outside, she is a full-fledged mature beauty.

"After all, my identity is your aunt. It's not good to look too young." Magu smiled, looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to hug him, sighing contentedly, "Xiaozhen, long time no see, aunt misses you very much." you."

A light plant fragrance floated over, it was the smell of one of the "Love for Life" series of perfumes.

Yu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then immediately hugged her back, and whispered back: "Welcome home, I miss you too."

After receiving the person, Yu Zhen placed Magu in a hotel very close to the Yin family's villa. The apartment was unoccupied for a long time and needed to be tidied up. The nursery was full of workers, and it was inconvenient to get in and out. I can make the transition here for a while.

Magu felt that it was a waste to stay in a hotel, so she said that she could go back to the tower and wait for the apartment or nursery to be cleaned up before coming out.

Yu Zhen smiled and shook his head, and said: "You are walking outside as a human being, and if you disappear suddenly, others will be suspicious. We are just here for a few days, and I will take you back when I see Yin Yan's parents. The apartment side, that side should have been cleaned up by then."

Magu was stunned and asked, "What did you just say?"

Yu Zhen looked at her, leaned over to hold her hand, and repeated with a smile: "I said, I will take you back to the apartment after I see Yin Yan's parents."

Seeing Yin Yan's parents... This is really the sentence, she heard it right.

Magu's expression was a little dazed, as if she wanted to believe but couldn't believe it. She held his hand back hard, pressed her lips tightly to stabilize her trembling voice, and reconfirmed: "You let me see Yin Yan's parents? Is it me?" Is it? I'm going to see you?"

"Of course it's you." Yu Zhen looked at her reassuringly, and said in a gentle voice: "You are my aunt, the only relative I have left in this world, and you will live with me in the future. As my elder, you should go and meet Yin Yan's parents."

As an elder, the meaning of meeting the parents of the child's partner is self-evident.

"Xiao Zhen, do you know..." She wanted to remind Yu Zhen that things like meeting her parents cannot be arranged randomly. She is just a puppet now, and her status is not suitable for such things. What else is there to live with? But looking at Yu Zhen's earnest and warm eyes, he couldn't say anything.

Yu Zhen knew it all, and he knew it. He forgave her as a dereliction of duty mother, and took pains to arrange a human identity for her, and gave her the rights that a mother really possesses besides the title of a mother.

"You lied to me, didn't you?" She couldn't control her tears from flowing out, she shook her head, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time, "Why did you ask me to take care of the nursery for you, why did you arrange your identity for the sake of karma, you lied to me, right No...Xiaozhen, I'm too bad, I can't...you will be laughed at, I'm poor and white, I have nothing, no background, no decent job, I will embarrass you, I can't..."

"You are so beautiful and treat me so well. You will definitely help me take care of the nursery well in the future. How can you embarrass me." Yu Zhen took out a tissue to wipe her tears, and squeezed her hand, " And I've already made an appointment for the two parents to meet, in the restaurant of this hotel, at noon tomorrow, Magu, do you want to leave the elder seat next to me empty?"

Magu paused, couldn't help but leaned over to hug him, stroked his hair, and cried all the makeup that was carefully put on for today's meeting.

After dinner, Yu Zhen was a little worried about Magu's condition and wanted to stay with her.

Magu smiled and said no, and urged him to go home and sleep, and repeatedly assured that his emotions had calmed down, and now he just wanted to sleep well, refresh his spirit, and see Yin Yan's parents in the best state tomorrow.

Yu Zhen had no choice but to give up, and made an appointment to see her tomorrow morning, then drove back to the villa.

After watching him leave, Magu returned to the room, stared at her luggage in silence for a few seconds, and then disappeared into the air with a blind eye.

The next morning, Magu opened the door the first time Yu Zhen knocked on the door, tidied up her hair and skirt a little nervously, and asked, "Is this suitable for me?"

Yu Zhen looked at the woolen skirt on her body, waved the shopping bag in his hand pretending to be regretful, and said, "It seems that the things in my hand have been prepared for nothing. Your vision is much better than mine."

"Did you buy clothes for me?" Magu's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she reached out to take the bag in his hand, saw that there was a set of delicate winter dress inside, and said with a smile, "Wait, I'll change it." show you."

Seeing that she had relaxed a lot, Yu Zhen nodded with a smile.

Magu has a good figure and good looks, she looks beautiful in everything she wears.Yu Zhen's choice of skirt was quite satisfactory, not as good as Magu's own, but she still put her carefully matched clothes into the box without hesitation, and replaced them with Yu Zhen's.

After finishing the clothes and make-up, the two had breakfast in the room, and Yu Zhen took out another card.

"This is for you. You can buy and eat whatever you want, and you don't have to be afraid of spending money." Now Magu wants to live as a human being, unlike when she was a puppet, she must buy a lot of things and spend money everywhere.

He is not very good at taking care of girls, so he can only give money.

Magu pushed the card back, shook her head and said, "I have money, so there is no reason for an elder to use a child's money."

"It's only natural for younger generations to respect their elders. Take it, it's hard to move forward without money in this world."

"I really don't want it." Magu resolutely refused, no life or death.

Yu Zhen was a little dazed, and didn't understand why she was so persistent. The other party also took the money she gave before going abroad, so why didn't she want it this time.

"Is it because the money in your hand hasn't been used up yet?" He asked speculatively.

It is true that the money Magu Yu Zhen gave before going abroad has not been used up.

She nodded, shook her head again, reached out and took out a small box from the storage bag and pushed it over, saying, "This is for you, a wedding present."

"What?" Yu Zhen was puzzled, took the box and opened it, gasped for breath from the flash of jewels inside, quickly closed the box, and asked in shock, "Where did you get this? There are so many jewels, you, you Robbing a jewelry store?"

Magu was amused by his reaction, shook her head and said: "How could I bring you back to such low-level troubles, I earned these. I learned some ways to make money from Kui Guina, and I went to earn money last night." point."

One night, after earning such a box of jewels back, it was Kui Gui's method. Yu Zhen's heart was full of alarms, and he asked with a serious face, "What did he teach you? Where did you go last night?"

"Go and kill a few evil cultivators." Magu replied simply, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, these are all legal things. I have already sent the things that cannot be cleared to Kui Gui overnight. way back."

It turned out to be the spoils of war against evil cultivators, Yu Zhen was a little relieved.

Crusade against evil cultivators is also a form of cultivation, which is good for Magu, and Magu has a lot of protective magic weapons, and her strength has greatly increased after the experience of the Tower of Nothingness. It is no problem to kill a few small evil cultivators.

"Remember to tell me before you go to do something next time, I will be worried." He put down the box, just about to ask about the details of last night, when he thought of something, he became serious again, as if facing an enemy, "Wait, Why is Kui Gui so kind to you? He is teaching you to fight against evil cultivators, and he is also helping you to launder your property, what is his plan?"

This question was too blunt, and it was almost a question of whether Kui Gui had bad intentions.

Magu couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand to pinch his stern face, and said, "No, he got a kickback for helping out, it's his business, after all, so many of his subordinates still need money." Rely on him to support it."

It turned out that I was collecting money to help, so that's okay.

Yu Zhen was completely relieved, touched her teasing and smiling eyes, her ears were a little hot, coughed and pulled her hand down, and said: "The world is dangerous now, it's always right to be careful...well, it's time to go out, Yin They should have arrived."

Hearing this, Magu withdrew her hand, stopped making trouble with him, checked her clothes and make-up again, took her bag, and went out with him.

The two families met in the box, and Qiu Feiqian was stunned for a few seconds after seeing Magu.

They are so similar, the facial features of Magu and Yu Zhen are so similar, they look like a family.And she was too young, and her demeanor and conversation were completely different from what she had imagined.

He seems to be a very well-mannered person, better than expected.

Qiu Feiqian felt that Magu came back so late, and felt that her little prejudice of not paying attention to Yu Zhen had dissipated a little, so she took the initiative to say hello.

Before it was time for lunch, everyone ordered a few plates of snacks and nuts, chatting while setting the lunch menu.

Magu introduced herself according to the identity given to her by Yu Zhen. She claimed to be widowed, childless, and lived abroad for a long time. Before returning to China, she was a piano teacher.

Qiu Feiqian had been watching her while she was talking, and found that her body was unconsciously leaning towards Yu Zhen, and she couldn't help but look at him when she was talking, her eyes were gentle with a hint of love and intimacy from the elders to the younger, and her heart gradually returned to her stomach inside.

Judging from her eyesight developed in the shopping mall for many years, this Magu should really love Xiao Zhen, not someone with ulterior motives.

A relative who can build a long-term relationship.

With a smile on her face, she answered the question at the right time and chatted with Magu.

Sitting on the side, Yu Zhen looked at Magu and Qiu Feiqian whose attitudes were gradually warming up. He was greatly relieved and couldn't help smiling.

Yin Yan looked at him sideways, held his hand under the table, and interlocked his fingers.
