longevity of self-cultivation

Lord Jiaolong's "hissing" sound was so small that no one else in the Mo family heard it. Mo Changsheng is a monk, he has good ears and eyes, and can understand snake language, so he naturally heard the "hissing" of the little golden snake wrapped around his boots all at once. Debate".

The corner of his mouth twitched, Mo Changsheng just thought that the little golden snake didn't exist, and didn't speak for a moment.

Mrs. Mo thought her precious son was shy, and sighed with a smile: "If you really like Changsheng, mother will not say anything. As long as the girl is willing and is a child of a good family, mother will give you a betrothal gift." ! Try to let that girl into our house as early as possible!"

Then give her a big fat grandson!

When Mrs. Mo thought of this, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be a little less.

Mo Changsheng said in his heart, that "girl" is indeed willing, but unfortunately she is not a child of a "good" family. As for the dowry... The oldest in their family is only in his early sixties. An old dragon of tens of thousands of years must be looked down upon.

But Mo Changsheng can only say these words in his heart, but he can only laugh and cry on the face, saying: "Mother, my son is over there, and he has indeed found a suitable...companion." Looking at the surprise on Mrs. Mo's face Mo Changsheng continued, "It's just that my foundation building was too sudden. The companion I was looking for is currently in retreat, or he is still in retreat, and I am in a hurry to go home to see the second elder, so it is not easy to let him go out to accompany him." I'm back."

Only then did Father Mo and Mrs. Mo realize that their "daughter-in-law" hadn't come back.

Mo Xiaosi looked at the bite mark on Mo Changsheng's face, and said in surprise: "But, the..." mark on Second Brother's face is so clear?Didn't it mean that the cultivation world is far away from the mortal world?Why hasn't this trace disappeared after such a long time?

Mo Changsheng touched the tooth marks on his face, and said with a helpless smile: "He is too naughty, he deliberately cast a spell on this tooth mark, lest I will make trouble in the mortal world."

The family had an instant epiphany: So the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law here are still shrews!

Mrs. Mo did not have the kind of mind that a daughter-in-law should be born to serve her son. Hearing this, she said happily: "That's good. I heard that the fairy will fight too. Your daughter-in-law is better, and she can help you in the future Fight together!"

Father Mo, Mo Xiaosan, and Mo Xiaosi also expressed that they are very happy to have a powerful daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.

Mo Changsheng smiled slightly.

Lord Jiaolong screamed "Hiss", obviously extremely proud!

"Long Changsheng, let me come out, okay? You see, my family likes me very much, let me come out, okay?"

Of course Mo Changsheng couldn't agree.

Father Mo and Mrs. Mo agreed because they thought that the "companion" he just mentioned was a woman, but if this evil dragon escaped and turned into a man, the Mo family would definitely be frightened crazy!

It's just that Mo Changsheng couldn't tell the stupid Mr. Jiaolong these words, so he just sent a voice transmission: "My parents only recognize daughters-in-law, unless you become a woman, I dare not bring you here to show them. "

Master Jiaolong really got tangled up, flicking his tail with a heavy look on his face.

Only then did Mo Changsheng heave a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the evil dragon thought about it for a while, but suddenly "hissed" and said: "Women... It's not impossible. It's just that there is no one on the top, but there is more one on the bottom, and it is okay to wear women's clothing outside? Changsheng, is this okay?"

Mo Changsheng: "..."

Of course, it was impossible for Mo Changsheng to agree to such a ridiculous thing.

A man pretends to be a woman, and he can pretend to be a woman for a day or two. However, the households in Mojia Village live in the same yard with a large family. This evil dragon is already stupid. There is a problem.

And this is not the most tragic.

The most tragic thing is that although Mo's father and Mo's mother are just the most simple farmers, they have lived for decades, and they have the ability to judge people.Mo Changsheng was very worried, they could see that the evil dragon's mind was no better than others.

When Mo Changsheng thought of this, he paused for a moment, and continued to eat with his parents and younger brother, occasionally teasing the little golden snake hidden on his ankle for real or not.

Although it is not suitable for monks to eat mortal food, this was the first meal back home, and it was cooked for him by his younger brother. Mo Changsheng still ate all the food meticulously.

After he finished eating, he looked up and found that the whole family was looking at him in shock.

Mo Changsheng paused and said, "What's wrong?"

Immediately, Mrs. Mo started crying again: "My son, don't you think you can't even eat there? It's so bad there!"

Father Mo also looked at his son with a distressed expression.

Mo Xiaosan and Mo Xiaosi said guiltily: "The younger brothers can eat enough at home and have spare money to study and read, but the elder brother can't even eat enough to eat over there. It is the younger brothers who have harmed the elder brother!" Then they expressed their disapproval. Go to the academy to study again, they have already passed the entrance examination for Tongsheng, and for the rest, they just need to study at home by themselves.

As for the rest of the money, take it all away with the second brother!

Mrs. Mo even said: "They are all back, why don't you go back!"

It was only then that Mo Changsheng realized that his family had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained that he ate so much just because he was happy.Moreover, most of the food in the mortal world has no aura, no more aura than the food in the cultivation world, and a little taste can fill his stomach, so he ate so much at once.

In the future, when he makes food from the things he brought from the cultivation world, he won't eat so much all at once.

These words made the family suddenly realize and regret.

After the family finished eating, Mo Xiaosi wanted to clean up the dishes, but Mo Changsheng thought about it, but he didn't stop him.

He can indeed use spells to wash dishes and laundry for his family, but what happens after he leaves?

Rather than let the family taste the benefits and then lose them, it is better not to have tasted the taste from the beginning.

After the Mo family had all changed into the clothes, shoes and socks brought by Mo Changsheng, made some good tea, and brought out some snacks, they invited Li Zhenghe who was waiting next door and the county magistrate who hurried over.

——As for the others, there was no need for Mo Changsheng to meet them in person.

As we all know, monks are not closely connected with the mortal world. For monks, as long as their close relatives can live well, die, and their descendants can last for several generations, it is enough, so monks don't care much about the affairs of the mortal world; For people in the mortal world, if a family can have a successful monk as a backer, the rise of the whole family will be just around the corner.

Mojia Village was originally a family, and after several generations of unpromising talents, they were reduced to live in the mountains, and the village gradually absorbed people with other surnames.

But even so, the people originally surnamed Mo in Mojia Village did not forget that they belonged to one family.

And Mo Changsheng entered the world of cultivating immortals and was able to return again, which meant that the Mo family village would not be suppressed too much within a hundred years.

The same is true.

The county magistrate Heli came to Mo's house with a full face of respect.

After arriving, the magistrate of the county directly said that because Mo Changsheng returned home with a successful cultivation, according to the laws of the country, the county where Mo Changsheng is located will be exempted from taxes and corvees for three years. , will be exempted from taxes and corvee for ten years, and Mo Changsheng's parents and younger brothers will be exempted from taxes and corvee for three generations.

The county magistrate also said that when Mo Changsheng reached the Nascent Soul stage, he would give the Mo family a title.

Of course, the premise was that after Mo Changsheng became a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would still recognize those descendants he was completely unfamiliar with.

Therefore, the county magistrate and Li Zheng both smiled happily.

The county magistrate even brought a box, saying it was a congratulatory gift from a big family in the county.

Li Zheng was touching his sleeves, planning to discuss it with the people in the village. After all, Mo Changsheng's return allowed Mojia Village to reduce taxes and corvees for ten years. This is really the best happy event for Mojia Village. .

Mo Changsheng glanced at Mo Xiaosan, who immediately took it with a smile.

Although Mo Xiaosan and Mo Xiaosi are the youngest sons in the family, but because the two elder brothers are not at home, Mo Lao and Mo Laoniang are old, I am afraid that they will grow old before they grow up, so Mo Xiaosan and Mo Mo Xiaosi was even stricter than Mo Changsheng in the past. He washed and cooked meals, learned about the world, and learned the etiquette from reading... They taught themselves what they knew, and asked others to teach them what they couldn't. Therefore, although the two were young and smart, they were not rigid.

Mo Changsheng was quite satisfied when he saw the behavior of his two younger brothers.

With such a happy event in the Mo family, it is impossible not to invite guests to hold a banquet, but Mo Changsheng has just returned home, and because he has become a "fairy" in the eyes of the villagers, even if he wants to mingle with everyone, everyone dare not be too serious. He was too close to him, so Mo Changsheng said that he would hold a banquet after the imperial decree came down.

The magistrate and Li Zheng had guessed that there was such a possibility early on, so they also retreated respectfully, and strictly ordered others not to come and disturb the Mo family.

And the three or four families around the Mo family moved out after borrowing some silver taels, and asked Mrs. Mo's younger brother to inform the Mo family that they were moving, and the original residence would be disposed of by the Mo family.

When Mrs. Mo heard this, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Mo Changsheng didn't say anything else, he just took out more than twice the house-building silver and asked his uncle to give it to those families.After all, after he returned home, he also planned to rebuild the family house.

He brought both his parents a elixir of longevity. Although it is unlikely that they will live a hundred years, they can still make their parents live to be more than 80 years old.Mo Changsheng thought about it seriously. According to the rule that people here get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, by that time, the Mo family will probably have the fourth and fifth generations. It is not too early to expand the house at this time. up.

It's just that after Mrs. Mo's younger brother, Uncle Lin, got the silver, he still hesitated to leave, looking at Mo Changsheng hesitantly.

Mo Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

Mrs. Mo sighed: "Your girl is dead, and someone from the fairy gate has come to tell you the news. What else do you want to ask? Ask a lot and know a lot. Even more uncomfortable."

Old Uncle Lin wiped his face, and still said: "I know that my girl is sorry for my sister and brother-in-law's family, and for Changsheng, but no matter how bad she is, she is still my girl!" Looking at Mo Changsheng, he said, "Changsheng, tell me the truth, how did Si Ya disappear? Was she killed by someone else, or...she did it herself?"

The Siya mentioned by Old Uncle Lin was exactly Lin Siniang back then.

Mo Changsheng still thought that the Lin Siniang he met later came from the house, so he actually had some affection for his original cousin Lin Siya. Hearing this, he looked at Old Uncle Lin and said, "Old Uncle, Siya didn't kill someone, nor did she do something wrong. It was because a secret realm that Siya entered to practice suddenly blew up, and not only Siya, but many people who entered that secret realm back then were also trapped in it."

Uncle Lin only now knew how his daughter died, and he looked sad.

Although the people of Xianmen will notify the families of those monks who died, but no one has the time to find out how those monks died and how many things they left behind.

Mo Changsheng didn't know how to comfort her, let alone say that Lin Siniang died at his hands, so he could only say dryly, "She will live well in her next life."

Uncle Lin sighed for a while, seeing that his nephew who had become an "immortal" was willing to call him "uncle" and comfort him clumsily, then he patted his thigh and smiled and said: "Since she wasn't killed by someone, and she didn't do it by herself, I gave up. Siya, it's just that she has a bad life, and she died early. I, as an old man, can't save her." she."

The ones who didn't want their children to cultivate immortals at the beginning were not just Mo's father, Mo's wife and his wife?Although Uncle Lin and his wife don't like Siya very much, Siya is their daughter after all. They also want to hide Siya, but Siya is unwilling!Not only was he unwilling, but he even led people to find Mo Changsheng who had been hidden. Uncle Lin was so ashamed that he dared not go to Mo's house for several years.

"Let's go as long as she's gone." Uncle Lin sighed, took out a palm-sized box from his arms, and said, "By the way, I still remember that moment when she was talking about pomegranates in our house." There is a box hidden under the tree. Anyway, no one in our old Lin family has spiritual roots, so I don’t want this box anymore, let Changsheng take it.”

Where would Mo Changsheng want it?Get rid of it now.

Old Uncle Lin shook his head and said: "Take it and take it, it's disturbing to put this thing in our house. Back then, Si Ya was a good girl, just as stupid and stupid as the girls in the village, and just like the girls at home. People are close, but that day when she came back with this box, she seemed to be a different person, and she lost her longevity... Hey, fortunately, she came back by herself, and your family is getting better and better. Years ago, your little cousin was seriously ill. If your parents hadn’t helped to hire someone with money, your little cousin might have gone like this. Changsheng, you should take this box. Uncle and you My aunt is worried when she looks at this box."

Listening to Old Uncle Lin's chatter, Mo Changsheng felt something was wrong in his heart, so he took the box over.

Uncle Lin showed an old smile, took the pickles pickled by Mrs. Mo, and left.

The edict will arrive in half a month.

Of course, this imperial decree could not be issued to Mo Changsheng, but to the county where Mo's village is located, Mo's village and other members of the Mo family.

As soon as the imperial decree arrived, the exemption from taxes and corvee began this year, and everyone in the county and Mojia Village was very happy.

And Mo Changsheng's family also decided to hold a banquet in three days.

Before the banquet started, many people from the entire county brought heavy gifts to the Mo family, and the villagers of the Mo family village often came to give some homely things.

Mo Changsheng asked his two younger brothers to put away the things, and what each gave was recorded in a separate ledger.

Father Mo and Mrs. Mo have never seen so many good things in their life, and many people probably guessed the situation of Mo's family, so they simply gave them all silver notes. The two elders began to tremble when they saw these things.

"Longsheng, we just accept these things like this? How do you say that, if you don't have merit, you can't collect things. Is it inappropriate for us to accept these things like this?"

Mo Changsheng was studying the box brought by Uncle Lin these days, and he smiled when he heard the words: "It's okay. Most of these things are sent by merchants. The imperial court emphasized agriculture and suppressed merchants, and taxed merchants even more. I'll go home They will be exempted from taxes and corvee for three years in one trip, so they naturally have to show something."

Father Mo and Mrs. Mo wanted to say something else, but Mo Changsheng had already put down the box in his hand, and said, "But I have brought back a lot of silver, which is enough for our family to buy fields and houses and marry our two younger brothers. These people I plan to use part of the silver taels sent to build roads, part to build schools in the village, and part to build charitable halls in the county. Parents can share the rest if there are any good deeds that can be done. .”

Mo's father and Mo's mother breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their son has principles in doing things, and they have used all the free money where they should be used. They were all happy, and they went out to tell people they knew that their son The people in the village were not forgotten.

Mo Changsheng continued to play with the box there.

The box is wooden, but there is no place to open it.

Mo Changsheng originally wanted to use magic to break the wooden box, but he tried all kinds of spells, but he couldn't open the wooden box.

It wasn't until Mo Changsheng frowned and wanted to give up that the little golden snake that was originally wrapped around his ankle suddenly jumped out, "hissing" and said: "Chang Changsheng, I have a way to open this box!"

Mo Changsheng's face turned dark immediately: "You, you, fa, son? Why didn't you say that before?"

The little golden snake flinched for a moment, then raised her head again and said, "You, you let me wear women's clothes. We will get married right now, and I will tell you!"

The corner of Mo Changsheng's mouth twitched, he ignored it, got up and left.

The little golden snake was anxious, and suddenly "hissed": "Reincarnation disk! Changchangsheng, there is a reincarnation disk in the box! Don't you want to see it?"

Mo Changsheng paused.

However, before the little golden snake was happy that he was about to marry his sweetheart, he saw Mo Xiaosan and Mo Xiaosi walking towards the house together, looking excitedly at the golden little golden snake.

"Ah, is this little golden snake the second brother's spirit beast? It's pretty pretty."

"It's really beautiful. It just so happens that our dog is still young and doesn't bark too much. Second brother and second brother, why don't you just put this little golden snake outside the door for us to guard the gate! After all... those who want to enter our house during this time There are too many people, and we can't even defend against them!"

"That's right, Second Brother, it happens that Mother is afraid of snakes, why don't you just let... ask it to guard the gate, okay?"

Little Golden Snake: "..."

Mo Changsheng hooked his lips: "Okay."

Little Golden Snake: "!!!"
