A chance encounter with an enemy
the statue was recovered, it had been severed at the head. He locked the statue in a side chapel, claiming to be guarding it carefully, and hired skilled craftsmen to repair it, but refused to put it...Yu Nan seriously looked around the hall at the elders seated and the high-ranking disciples standing behind them.
Sometimes I don't even dare to call him a junior or younger generation. In a sense, his status is higher than everyone else in the world.
As the entire household was composed of practitioners, they naturally understood that You Nan, despite his young age, possessed an extraordinary destiny. Thus, one elder leaned forward slightly, bowing respectfully towards You Nan and said: "Since Young Master has commanded thusly, all disciples in our household should undoubtedly comply. However, to satisfy the crowd, we kindly request that Young Master provide some guidance so we can arrange the offerings appropriately. This way, the disciples will also know how to revere and pay their respects."
You Nan slightly frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "The offering goes up to the Heavenly Emperor of the Purple Micro Star, Tianbei. The offering below is offered to the two star officials, Tai Luo and Rahu. As for the middle part... let the elders decide."
What, are you still going to build a shrine for the celestial being Dharmaraja in the Shen family's home
Yunan truly respects this… ah no, this Master Ji Dou.
"Mother, I want to walk with you... Master always says that I'm being protected and haven't learned anything useful..." Yunan whispered to me.
It's fine to take Younan out for a while, that child is too sensible. But Yu Gui and Lan Xi must stay at the Shen residence.
"So, Master Head of the Household, where do you intend to go Travel and see the world Now isn't a good time… Although the pandemic restrictions have been lifted in all regions, very few colleagues are traveling." The Steward worriedly asked me.
"That's because for the past six months, none of us in the circle have been moving around, and some shady places haven't been able to be cleaned up in time... I want to go to the imperial capital and explain things face-to-face with Lin Yanhuan." I replied.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
The Shen family's internal affairs are handled by a housekeeper, while I have delegated the external affairs to Shen Qingrui and arranged for three elders to assist.
I rushed home with You Nan, the air around the small building was warm and comforting, even the stone steps at the entrance emanated a sense of peace.
This breath of air is because a true dragon has descended, bringing auspiciousness and blessing. The surrounding flora and fauna are all imbued with spiritual energy.
Because Jiang Qiyun didn't come back last night, You Nan and I took the Shen family's car over. As soon as we reached the front door of the small shop, we heard the carved wooden door creak open from inside.
In that instant, it felt like a world away.
The true dragon's spirit, the mundane world.
On one side, a hidden dragon lurks amidst auspicious clouds and mist, yet a single door opens to reveal the bustling world of mortals.
I even felt, in the next moment, I would see my brother. The morning sun shone through the carved wooden lattice, falling on his messy and languid hair.
"Fine weather and beautiful scenery, but alas, fate intervenes. Who in their garden could enjoy such delights"
As the door creaked open, a jarring operatic voice echoed from within.
A man with a bucket of water in his hand and hair slicked back, shuffled out the door.
First, open both large doors wide and straight. Then, drag the bucket to lean against the back of the door. After that, turn around and fetch three incense sticks.
With practiced ease, his movements flowed like water. The rituals of worship, the melodies of folk songs... all were known to him perfectly, performed with effortless grace and leisure.
This guy... after coming to my house, he's become more and more well-behaved. The air of a conman from the rivers and lakes has also faded quite a bit.
"Pfft…" Younan couldn't hold back a giggle, watching Old Chen seriously offering incense, he burst into laughter.
Mr. Chen heard the sound and looked at us in astonishment, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
"Goodness me! My ancestors! What a joyous day! How wonderful to see both of you back together!" Old Man Chen exclaimed excitedly, slapping his thigh and coming down the steps to greet us.
"Oh my, where have you gone, our young mistress! It's been so long, not a single word from you! If it weren't for the young master still at the Shen residence, I'd be worried you had ascended to immortality..." Old Chen exclaimed excitedly. Just as he got to "ascended to immortality," his voice suddenly dropped.
Neighbors don't want to hear this feudal superstition propaganda, and the 24-hour epidemic prevention workers at the street corner are still there.
"How is it at home" I asked in a low voice.
"Everything is good, everything is good. Both grandmothers are doing well. Old Mrs. Wu is in good health with a rosy complexion. I think she could live to be two hundred years old!" Old Chen said with a grin.
Jiang Qiyun is considered a blessed person, bringing good fortune and longevity to the old Mrs. Wu with her words. Two hundred years old seems unlikely, but living happily to one hundred and two is definitely possible.
"It's just..." Old Chen hesitated, "As you know, although Madam Wu doesn't say it out loud, she cares deeply for our young master. Our young master hasn't been in contact for so long, Madam Wu must be uneasy and anxious inside. Her black cat Ling is also nowhere to be found... I suspect that Madam Wu let it go to find news about our young master..."
"Huh" I was taken aback. Of course, after all this time, my brother must still be in the demon realm. How could he return without even letting me know
But Old Mrs. Wu's cat spirit was fierce, and it specifically went to dangerous auras...
I still remember that time the black cat brought back a woman's finger (psychological shadow), please don't bring back anything weird again.
Chen Laogou seemed to see my concerns and chuckled, “I also think that black cat is quite fierce. I’ve been comforting the two old ladies every day, saying that our Mu family's young master has seen all kinds of situations and nothing can trap our young master. What do you say”
...this...
I hesitated to speak. My brother was trapped in the Demon Realm by the Shifting Soul Technique of the Crimson Sky Demon Lord. Although Jiang Qiyun said that after seventy-seven forty-nine days, the outcome would be revealed, we still don't know what will happen.
She also vaguely said not to worry too much, Jiang Qiyun is very confident in my brother
In that kind of environment, surrounded by the Demon Lord's subordinates, how could my brother safely bring back himself, Da Mao, Hui Qing, and Xiao Guangtou
"Young Master~ It's been a while, you are even more dashing and brilliant than before~~" Old Chen supported himself on his knees, bent over respectfully, and spoke to You Nan.
"You also look spirited and full of wisdom," You Nan nodded.
Mr. Chen was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that Younan, in such a short time since they last met, had grown into such a capable young master.
He slapped his thigh excitedly: “With Young Master’s words, we’re one foot into the Xuanmen already! Alright, with your golden words, I can live to be a hundred years old! Come in quick, I’ll get you some hot milk!”
Pfft... To be so respectful to a child who still drinks milk, the scene is a bit funny.
Chen Lao was busy preparing breakfast for the whole family.
He's becoming more and more like the shopkeeper, it seems. He deserves a "promotion and raise", after all, he's too old to be a shop assistant now.
"Little Qiao" My dad was at home and heard our voices. He excitedly ran down the stairs.
"Dad," I stood up, and to my surprise, I wasn't overly affected by seeing my father—he had seen countless others come and go.
Just like that, the person rushed forward and hugged Younan Xiong who was sitting on the sofa.
"My sweetheart~~ baby~~ oh my~~ Grandpa misses you guys~~ mm mm~~ mm mm mm~~"
Yunan's face was scrunched up like a pouted mouth.
"Dad, calm down." I facepalmed.
"Calm Calm your ass." My dad held Younan on his lap, and looked at me with a rare serious expression.
"What's wrong, Dad... I didn't make you angry, did I..." I was taken aback.
My dad let out a grunt: "You two little rascals, your wings have hardened and you fly all over the place. It's understandable that old man I can't control you anymore! After all, we entered the Xuanmen, what we pursue is fate. You two have found your opportunities, old man is happy, but you two little bunnies, why are you both not at home and haven't come back for so long! It's made my sworn enemy come to the door! My hands aren't even a single person to hold up the door!"
"Huh! Old rival"g Xuzi of Qingyu Dao Guan continue to handle it.”"....Lingxuzi, the Daoist priest, was unwell, and his Taoist temple hadn't been fully repaired after the damage.""So what You're carrying a child. Don'...
