PFC Chapter 329 Royal Ritual, Temporarily Suspended
Chapter 329 Royal Ritual, Temporarily Suspended
Speaking of this, Ye Jingchuan was also helpless.
It wasn't that he neglected his cultivation; it was that the spiritual energy here was too thin. Even with the use of the spirit-gathering array, the spiritual energy wouldn't be much more abundant, and it couldn't compare to that in the valley. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't disobey his master's orders, he would have returned to the valley long ago. Perhaps this trip to the mountains would have brought him some good fortune!
However, opportunities are too mysterious, so he should maintain a calm and ordinary mindset.
"Wen'er, your uncle will try to find more time to cultivate and will definitely catch up with you. Next time you have the chance, please take me there."
"Okay, I'll take you next time."
After saying goodbye, the brother and sister jumped onto the back of the eagle and flew into the valley under the cover of darkness.
Back above the bamboo courtyard in the valley, I happened to run into the teacher finishing get out of class.
Nowadays, the teacher's classroom is overflowing with students, including the Wen family's children and the Ren family.
With the encouragement and leadership of the Wen family women, the Ren family women were full of confidence. Even Lin Ziqin, who was pregnant, was very motivated. Despite her pregnancy symptoms, she did not miss a single class.
There was a little incident during this time. One time, the little boy Ren Yuhong was playing with everyone when he suddenly defecated in front of everyone. The smell immediately wafted out. Wenwen's aunt, Wen Lanmin, reacted quickly and used a cleaning spell to clean the baby instantly.
This scene stunned Miao Fanglu, who was taking care of the baby. "Is this even possible? This magic is so convenient for taking care of the baby. I don't need to bring water to wipe the baby or do laundry and change clothes. I never expected this."
Wen Lanmin laughed and said, "That's not all, there are even more convenient ones, you'll find out later, hahaha."
Lin Ziqin, standing next to her, exclaimed even more dramatically, "Oh dear, for the sake of the child, I have to practice diligently! This magic is simply a lifesaver for taking care of kids!"
The two sisters-in-law instantly found a starting point for cultivation, and the art of cleansing became their initial obsession.
The familiar birdsong rang out; everyone was already used to it.
A moment later, the eagle landed on the open ground in front of the bamboo courtyard.
Wen Chengbin said, "Sister, you go find the teacher first. I'll give Brother Ying an extra meal."
The eagle stopped its transformation and obediently waited for Wen Chengbin to feed it.
Wen Chengbin took out a piece of monster meat from his storage bag and handed it to the eagle's beak. The eagle swallowed the ten-pound piece of monster meat in one gulp.
Wen Chengbin fed it three pieces in a row. He stroked the eagle's back and said, "Brother Eagle, we're almost out of supplies. How about we eat this much for now?"
Unexpectedly, the eagle remained silent, only turning its head to look at Wen Chengbin, its eyes seemingly saying, "Give me another piece." Wen Chengbin couldn't refuse, so he gave it another piece.
After finishing its meal, the eagle shook its wings contentedly, then stretched its neck and let out a few cries.
It just started wandering around aimlessly in the open space.
......
Bamboo Academy
When the teacher learned that Wenwen had returned, he happened to run into Wen Yuanqian and Ren Zuan, who were also coming out of the study.
After everyone entered the study and sat down, Wen Yuanqian eagerly asked, "Is there any new news from the capital?"
Wenwen: "Next month is the royal sacrifice, so it's not advisable to make any big moves. We'll go to the capital after the sacrifice. Oh, and also, my great-grandfather said that the Zhou family has already arrived in the northern desert. On our way back, we went to Sihe Mountain and indeed, quite a few people were there."
Wen Yuanqian turned to Zhou Kangyan and said, "Kangyan, go to Sihe Mountain today, arrange things, and then go to the mountain range with Wen'er and the others. I'll take care of things at home, don't worry."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Take Cheng hope and Cheng Feng with you."
Neither Wen Chengxi nor Wen Chengfeng expected to go to the mountains. They couldn't control their expressions, their mouths were wide open, and their smiles were almost reaching their ears.
Wen Yuanqian reminded the two brothers: "You two remember this well, going to the mountains is for training, not for fun, be careful!"
The two brothers nodded hurriedly, "Yes, we will remember our grandfather's teachings."
Wen Yuanqian looked at Wen Wen, "Is there anything else you and your second brother want to say?"
Wenwen lowered her head and thought for a moment, "It's nothing, let's go and come back quickly, try to be back in ten days or so, there will be enough time to take Grandpa to see it next time, hehehe."
Wen Yuanqian grinned from ear to ear, "Good, good, Grandfather is waiting for you to come back."
After resting at home for a while, Wenwen and Wenchengbin, along with three others, set off from the valley and flew to Sihe Mountain.
In the late afternoon, when they were still dozens of miles away from Sihe Mountain, Wen Chengbin had the eagle stop and land at the foot of a nearby mountain.
Wenwen took out several fast horses, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the group arrived at the entrance of Sihe Mountain.
Similarly, there was a gatehouse at the entrance. When the gatekeeper, Xiao Li, saw several fast horses approaching from afar, even though he recognized these people as the village chief's family members from the infrastructure construction project, he didn't dare to let them in casually. He braced himself and stopped them, saying, "Please show your entry and exit permits!"
When Wen Qilin first started the defense construction around Sihe Mountain, he gathered everyone's suggestions and also referred to the layout of military camps. Finally, he finalized the rule of entry and exit license plates. Entering Sihe Mountain is not only about looking at faces, but also about looking at license plates, and only those that match can enter.
The front of the license plate features three powerful characters, "Sihe Mountain," while the back is engraved with a soaring eagle.
This idea was suggested by Wen Chengbin, after all, Brother Ying deserves a lot of credit for discovering this place, the mountain stream.
Only five license plates have been issued so far. It's certain that each village chief will receive one, but Wen Qilin gave Wen Wen one separately, which is considered a privilege of the Wen family.
The other team leaders who can handle the license plates are still under evaluation.
At this moment, Wenwen showed her entry and exit number to the gatekeeper, and the group successfully entered the mountain stream.
The mountain stream today is vastly different from what I remember seeing back then.
To the left of the main peak, Sihe Mountain, is a large training ground. Further away is the living area, then the family quarters, and a school. Further still, it seems some fields have been cultivated, and now, in early spring, it's the perfect time for planting.
The group headed straight for the school.
Without a doubt, the Zhou family arranged for the students to be in the backyard of the school.
The clatter of horses carried far away, and Wen Qilin knew from a distance that someone had come to his house.
A moment later, the horse arrived at the side gate of the school, and Wen Qilin and the Zhou family also came out of the house.
Master Zhou was finally reunited with his family.
"Fourth brother, you've gotten so fat, and you've gotten so much fairer."
"Fourth brother, it's been a while since we last met. I've been missing you terribly."
"Fourth Uncle, your nephew has come to see you."
"..."
The Zhou family's meeting was naturally different from everyone else's. There was no crying or wailing, no tearful eyes. Well, what kind of scene would a group of grown men have crying and shouting when they meet? It's simply impossible.
Master Zhou patiently joked with his family for a few moments, "Second Uncle, Eldest Brother, and my nephews, come on, let's go inside and talk."
Wen Qilin naturally stayed in the outer room with Wenwen and her siblings, leaving the Zhou family and their group alone.
As night deepened, Master Zhou came out and said to Wen Qilin, "Brother, I've spoken with my second uncle and the others. For now, we'll stay here at Sihe Mountain, teaching the village children while cultivating ourselves. Once they've successfully guided their Qi into their bodies and can descend the cliff on their own, you can take turns leading them back to the valley to cultivate."
Wen Qilin nodded.
Master Zhou then said, "I've already given the Qi-Inducing Pill to Second Uncle. Please help supervise them, especially those unruly ones."
Wen Qilin: "Don't worry. If there's anything else you need to tell me, just say it, and I'll take care of it for you."
Master Zhou pondered for a few moments, then said, "That's all. Let's set off then."
Wen Qilin looked at Wen Chengxi and Wen Chengfeng standing in front of him and said, "You two stay close and don't fall behind. Do you hear me? Be careful."
"Uncle, we understand."
Without further ado, the group waved goodbye to Wen Qilin and then left Sihe Mountain, heading towards Yanqian Mountain Range.
