  Chapter 170:
  Shen Qingshuang has seen these peach trees before.

  I've seen it quite a few times.

  In the mountain behind Yushan Academy, there are peach blossoms blooming all over the mountain.

  She once healed her wounds and drank wine under the peach blossom tree.

  She also went to Penglai Xianfang...

  there was a

  courtyard full of peach blossoms.

  There is also a place in Kyoto.

  You can see the peach blossoms falling from a distance, with a different kind of beauty.

  He likes peach trees.

  It seems that wherever he is, some peach trees must be planted.

  really.

  She saw him.

  I don’t know when.

  A thatched house appeared on the originally empty Fengyue Cliff.

  The front of the house is filled with peach trees in full bloom...

  and the yard.

  There is a lounge chair.

  Someone was lying on the couch, with a thin blanket covering their feet.

  He closed his eyes.

  The recliner rocked gently.

  His fingers were tapping lightly on the handle, humming an unknown tune.

  Probably a little happy.

  So he didn't open his eyes, holding a green gourd in his hand, occasionally taking a sip, smacking his lips, and

  tightening the quilt.

  There is a rare kind of leisure...

  Chen Luo is indeed leisurely... However, it is just a break from the busy work.

  He planted the peach tree for three days.

  If it weren't for my deeper and deeper understanding of Tai Chi, and my growing familiarity with birth-inducing techniques...

  plus the storage bag would be filled with a whole bag of peaches.

  Chen Luo really didn't know where he was going to get so many saplings from!
  Fortunately...

  there is strength in numbers.

  After three days, the Duanjian Valley has become a place with a different scenery.

  Peach Blossom Forest?
  Chen Luo thought, this name is pretty good.

  Duanjian Valley, Fengyue Cliff, Peach Blossom Forest?
  good!

  Very good!

  [The sunset at dusk, the peach blossoms falling, the lonely smoke, the beautiful scenery, a pot of old wine...you will feel something in your heart.

  I understand the meaning of Tai Chi.

  Immortal experience points are increased.

  Experience value +222!

  PS: Only peach blossoms can cleanse your soul here, and of course, wine and beautiful women are also welcome! ]

  Listening to the system's words, Chen Luo curled his lips.

  Why cleanse the soul?
  I am just planting trees.

  how?

  Isn’t it possible to plant trees these days?
  Do I still need to apply for a license?

  That’s it… Now that we have the wine, what about the beautiful woman?
  When can it appear?

  Suddenly.

  I feel something in my heart.

  Chen Luo opened his eyes, and he was as beautiful as a peach blossom...

  "Master Shen? What a coincidence, how about drinking together?"

  Chen Luo laughed, and

  Shen Qingshuang also laughed: "My father-in-law is so elegant..."

  Some words are not needed . Talk too much.

  But I generally understand the meaning and expression it should have.

  Following Shen Qingshuang were Li Qiufeng, Zhao Kai and the leaders of the major sects, followed by rows of disciples.

  Before Li Qiufeng and the others could speak.

  A voice came from Chen Luo's side: "Don't come in, don't come in, don't step on the newly planted turf, just come in a few, but don't come in all!" A group of people suddenly froze in place

  . land.

  Lower your head.

  Sure enough, I saw that the ground of Fengyue Cliff was full of turf.

  It has obviously gone through a series of pruning and is quite neat.

  So...

  it's not a place to stay, and it's not a lift.

  It's quite difficult to choose.

  Fortunately, Master Jingxuan turned back to the Emei disciple and said: "Huixin, take the sisters and brothers back to Fengyue Cliff and wait below..." The

  disciple known as Huixin nodded: "Yes, Master."

  Looking at it . Leave with the Emei women.

  Li Qiufeng and others also reacted and ordered their disciples to withdraw from Fengyue Cliff.

  Chen Luo looked exhausted both physically and mentally.

  It's right to leave,

  but it's you old men who want to leave. Master,

  you are too confused!
  How can I tell all my good sisters and sisters to leave?

  They have to stay and chat, have a heart-to-heart talk, and enjoy the scenery.

  Isn't this wonderful?
  As for the turf...

  what's it for?
  At worst, our family will have to work harder and give birth to another baby, wouldn't it be better?
  Sighed.

  It's a pity.

  …

  The disciples left, and everyone poured into the courtyard.

  One by one,

  they all looked at Chen Luo.

  There are too many questions in my eyes that I want to ask,

  but when I reach my mouth, I feel like I can’t ask them.

  Finally, Li Qiufeng asked: "Where's the demon? Where's the demon? Where's the demon?"

  "Demon? What demon?"

  Chen Luo asked.

  "Where are the big demons, demon kings, and demon emperors in Duanjian Valley?"

  There are tens of thousands of demons.

  Why is it missing...

  Even if it is hidden, it is not easy to hide in Duanjian Valley, right?

  Chen Luo looked at them,

  probably a little anxious to know the answer, and kept walking back and forth.

  Under the peach tree.

  The soil that was occasionally loose became more solid after being trampled on.

  "Let's go!"

  Chen Luo said.

  "Gone? Where did he go?"

  "I don't know that!"

  Chen Luo explained:

  "The Demon Emperor is a very easy-to-negotiate person. After a friendly exchange with her, she felt that leaving Duanjian Valley would be a good choice...

  Vaguely, I heard that she was going to Southern Xinjiang. Land, right?"

  "Then...where are those big demons?"

  "Follow them!"

  Chen Luo said.

  He took out a few bottles of century-old Fen wine from his storage bag and said, "Together?"

  Everyone: ...

  looking at Chen Luo in front of them.

  Look at the wine.

  Listening to what he just said...

  everyone fell silent.

  This reason... is a bit perfunctory.

  ...

  The people from the Demon Slayer Alliance left...

  Chen Luo didn't get up.

  I have been a little tired these past few days. I am getting older. After a little exercise, my waist is really not going to work anymore.

  In addition, the recliner was holding on to me for some reason

  .

  I struggled for a long time.

  Finally gave up the resistance.

  Sometimes manpower is exhausted, and when you have to give in, you have to give in... This is not a shameful thing.

  "Huh? When did a card fall here?"

  He waved his hand emptyly.

  A talisman flew back into his hand.

  The talisman, which was originally yellow, turned bright red in the sunlight.

  He patted the talisman gently.

  Retrieve storage bag.

  When he saw the bloody Tiger Chi in the storage bag, Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, then summoned him out and ordered him to wash himself off.

  It's better to be clean.

  After all, he is not a talisman,

  and...

  it has been hard for everyone these days.

  look up.

  He looked at the lonely grave not far from the yard.

  A bottle of wine flew out.

  Slowly falling in front of the tomb...

  "Drink, now you can have a good drink and feel comfortable."

  The wind blew by.

  With a roar.

  Like a whisper,

  like someone responded...

  under the sun.

  A sword of no return.

  A Meiji sword and

  a Yongle sword.

  It was quietly inserted under the peach tree not far away.

  ...

  "Master? Did the nine-tailed demon fox really retreat to the southern border?"

  Zi Ni asked Shen Qingshuang: "Why did it retreat so suddenly? I wonder what my father-in-law said to them, and how could the demon emperor change? Are you so easy to talk to?"

  Shen Qingshuang did not answer.

  She remembered the sky tower she saw when she left.

  Tianque is located on Fengyue Cliff.

  After thatched hut.

  The huge broken valley was split open...

  forming a terrifying canyon.

  It's just that the mountains on both sides are already full of peach blossoms.

  The peach blossoms cover the canyon. If you don't look carefully, you will definitely not be able to see it.

  exactly.

  She saw it.

  Not only her...

  in fact, all the major leaders also saw it.

  But no one made any announcement, no one said anything, and they even pretended not to see it.

  "It doesn't matter what you say anymore. What matters is that it's over here. That's all!"

  The father-in-law didn't fight...

  In the past two hundred years, the only fight he had was just for a corpse.

  The truth is no longer important.

  What's important is that the Demon King has faded away, the Demon King's chaos has ended, and the entire vast world of immortal cultivation in the Great Zhou Dynasty has returned to peace.

  This is enough!

  ...

  Chen Luo stayed at Fengyue Cliff for seven days.

  during these seven days.

  Chen Luo did two things...

  One was to build a large eye-shielding formation on Fengyue Cliff...

  Under this formation, even if some people were not careful.

  Or maybe he had nothing to do and came to dig a tree, hoping to find out what happened in the Broken Valley.

  It is impossible to find the nutrients buried under the tree.

  The second thing...

  then repair a few swords and refine a sword.

  The repaired swords are the No-Return Sword and the Yongle Sword.

  The Sword of No Return is Li Chungang's sword.

  The sword had been broken into two pieces...

  Chen Luo found the fragment and refined it, restoring it to its original state.

  Now that Li Chungang is dead, he happens to have someone to inherit.

  Chen Luo repaired the sword.

  If one day, Chen Luo meets his successor, he will give this sword to him.

  This is probably Li Chungang's last wish.

  The Yongle Sword was quite damaged...

  but it's okay.

  Chen Luo forged it and it was fine.

  Meiji has been raising swords for hundreds of years...

  Once in a hundred years, it will be a startling sight, and the situation will be colorless.

  Chen Luo liked the sword that had only been cultivated for a hundred years...

  so.

  Chen Luo decided to continue raising swords.

  But this time, he raised a lot of swords...

  The Meiji sword is still a sword that raises incense.

  But Yongle Sword cultivates Qi Qi sword.

  Within his divine sea, there is a sword named Tianqi...

  Tianqi has been in power for hundreds of years.

  The Sword of Incense is so powerful, but the Sword of Qi is not bad at all, right? then.

  Chen Luo thought for a moment.

  A handful of Tianqi, a handful of Meiji, a handful of Yongle... this is not enough!
  What to do?
  The Heavenly Sword is very good!

  Then keep it.

  Um?
  Why is there a fox here?
  Tsk tsk...

  the backbone of a thousand-year-old fox.

  Or the nine-tailed demon fox.

  It is also a very good weapon refining material.

  So Chen Luo had nothing to do and used it to forge a sword.

  There is nothing personal about this.

  Chen Luo had long forgotten about the thunder incident.

  He just can't see the suffering of all living beings.

  I didn't want this good material to go to waste...

  so I casually used it to make a sword.

  Even though it's only the eighth grade...it's still pretty good.

  Chen Luo named it: Divine Grant!
  He missed Xiao Xiangning a little bit when she was in the God-given Year...

  So far.

  Chen Luo already has Five Swords,

  Tianqi, and

  Meiji.

  God's gift.

  Yongle.

  Divine gift.

  Except for the Meiji sword, which uses incense to nourish the sword and hide the sword, the others use Qi to nourish the sword and hide the sword.

  Thinking of this, Chen Luo felt a little emotional.

  "There were several generations of emperors in the Zhou Dynasty, but the Meiji dynasty was the worst. Is there anything wrong with using incense to nourish a sword?"

  The swords were all stored in the divine sea, and it was impossible not to have one for self-defense.

  Fortunately, Chen Luo still has a sword of no return that he can use.

  At least until he finds Xu Xiaonian, this sword is his own...

  of course.

  If Xu Xiaonian didn't know when he would become cold, then he would have to reluctantly keep the sword.

  He definitely didn't mean to curse Xu Xiaonian.

  After all, what bad intentions could a eunuch have?

  ...

  In May of the 20th year of Hanwu.

  The morning light breaks.

  The first ray of light fell on Kyoto, giving Kyoto a mysterious light.

  Chen Luo walked slowly into Kyoto.

  His clothes were a little damp.

  Remove the morning dew.

  Welcome the morning dawn.

  Returning in the morning breeze, it is inevitable that you will feel a little embarrassed.

  But Chen Luo likes days like this.

  From entering the foundation-building realm to the seventh foundation-building realm, Chen Luo has not enjoyed this kind of experience like a mortal for a long time.

  Therefore, he left Fengyue Cliff early in the morning.

  Taking advantage of the mountain where the morning light has not yet broken.

  It probably rained early.

  It's probably because Chen Luo was very lucky...

  Chen Luo met an old man who came to Beijing.

  The old man rides an ox cart.

  Wandering.

  Take your time.

  When he saw Chen Luo, he greeted him and asked Chen Luo to get in the car.

  The two chatted happily along the way.

  Entered the city.

  Farewell.

  Back to the west of the city.

  From a distance, he saw Wang Lu standing there,

  holding a food box in his hand.

  When he saw Chen Luo, his face lit up, and he walked up in a few steps: "Grandpa Chen, you are back..." Chen

  Luo asked, "Why are you here?"

  Wang Lu said, "Grandpa Chen left last time. If I want to drink beancurd, I will bring it here every day. I just thought that Grandpa Chen might not come back after entering, but he just happened to be back." The

  middle-aged man in his forties chuckled.

  Chen Luo was in a daze.

  It was as if I saw that familiar face.

  He and he are really similar...

  It's not that Chen Luo doesn't understand.

  Wang Lu said it lightly, but it couldn't be this light.

  "A few days ago, I said I would come back the next day, but it turned out that I was gone for several days. Is it a long wait every day?" "

  It's okay."

  Wang Lu chuckled and scratched his head: "I just thought that if Mr. Chen could come back, , just enough to drink Douhua... That's good."

  "I'm interested!"

  Chen Luo led Wang Lu into the courtyard.

  After thinking for a while, he said: "If you want to come in from now on, you can come in without being too outspoken."

  Wang Lu froze on the spot.

  Apparently some of these words made him unresponsive.

  Then...

  his face turned red.

  "Well, I understand, Grandpa Chen."

  Chen Luo smiled and said nothing.

  Sometimes just saying no is not a good thing.

  It's okay to accept the kindness of others occasionally.

  How can a person really be alone in this world...

  if that's the case.

  Even if it means immortality, it would still be extremely sad.

  Wang Lu is good.

  Whether it's true or false...

  at least, he is pretty good in front of me.

  People...

  Even if you can pretend for a lifetime, even if it is bad, it will be good in the end.

  And...

  he wasn't pretending.

  In this case, Chen Luo would naturally not refuse such closeness.

  Douhua is still the same as before.

  The taste remains unchanged.

  Before his death, Mr. Wang carefully taught his daughter-in-law.

  then.

  This skill was finally inherited perfectly.

  Have a drink.

  I didn't feel enough sleep,

  so I drank another bowl.

  What a coincidence!

  There are really chicken legs.

  Quite a few.

  A total of five or six.

  When I asked Wang Lu to get some chicken legs...

  this kid really remembered it.

  Just a bite of chicken drumstick.

  Chen Luo's put it down...

  A familiar yet unfamiliar smell instantly came to his mind.

  "Grandpa Chen, aren't these chicken legs delicious?"

  Wang Lu asked.

  Suddenly I felt a little nervous...

  How come I calm down after just one bite?

  Could it be that I did something wrong somewhere?
  "No..."

  Chen Luo shook his head.

  "It's just that the taste is a bit familiar. I haven't tasted this familiar taste for a long time. Where did you buy this chicken leg?" "

  I didn't buy it. My wife cooked it. She said it was Grandpa Chen who wanted to eat it, so that's still the case. Do something better yourself."

  "Can you call her over?"

  Although Wang Lu felt a little uneasy.

  I don’t know why Grandpa Chen suddenly wants to see his woman.

  But I thought I didn’t offend Grandpa Chen.

  Grandpa Chen should not blame his own woman.

  So he quickly went to call his woman over.

  The woman is also over forty.

  You can see her when you see her.

  Chen Luo laughed.

  "The chicken legs you cooked are delicious... Ji You, who is yours?"

  Wang replied nervously: "Grandpa Chen, are you asking about my great-grandmother Ji You?"

  Sky World.

  Married outside.

  Married in law.

  They all call her grandma...

  There is nothing wrong with this title.

  Wang's original surname happens to be Ji...

  a hundred years of time.

  Ji You, who had lost his trace, entered his ears in this way.

  The Ji family left Beijing in the past.

  Ji You is married and not in the capital.

  After going around in circles over the years, this descendant returned to Beijing again.

  As for the recipe for braised chicken legs, it was naturally passed down from Cen Suzhi.

  Cen Suzhi received it from Ji Bao's wife.

  Go round and round.

  Destiny is such a coincidence.

  The coincidence made Chen Luo even sigh...

  "In the past, our family was in Kyoto and had some connections with the Ji family. Today's Fuying Restaurant originally belonged to the Ji family. It's a pity

  that the descendants of the Ji family forgot their original intentions and ended up... The family was destroyed."

  Wang also knew some of these things. She

  often heard her mother talk about her great-grandmother, but she didn't expect it to be related to Grandpa Chen.

  Went home.

  Wang Lu asked someone to find out what happened to the Ji family.

  As a result...

  the causes and consequences of the Ji family's affairs became increasingly clear.

  But Wang Lu felt more and more sorry for what happened to the Ji family.

  "The Ji family relied on Grandpa Chen and rose to prominence during the Ji Bao era...

  Ji Yun remained intact, so there was no big problem.

  But Ji Yi and Ji Yan were just mediocre people. Although they were not wrong, they were also guilty. The

  four generations of the Ji family were incompetent and dandy. They were truly The generation that led the Ji family to destruction!"

  Wang Lu thought...

  What if it was the Wang family?
  If the Wang family had Grandpa Chen's protection, could they survive four generations?

  Or will the fate of several generations be wiped out abruptly?
  Maybe...

  it's quite difficult!
  ...

  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is here.

  He came over at noon on the day Chen Luo came back.

  No questions asked.

  It's as if what happened in Broken Stream Valley never happened.

  He specially brought the old Fen wine that Chen Luo had collected...

  a new variety.

  No name yet.

  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Chen Luo to name him...

  It just so happened that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave birth to a daughter two days ago.

  So Chen Luo took his daughter Hong.

  That night, Chen Luo wandered into the imperial city and went to the library pavilion.

  The library has changed a lot.

  Now it has become the most famous place in the palace.

  It is no longer like the year of Tianqi, when the emperor of the Zhou family only recognized the sword on the back of a horse, but he did not like the Four Books and Five Classics, the true meaning of ten thousand families.

  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still valued education.

  then.

  Chen Luo took away all the daughter Hong who had been treasured by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

  I wanted to keep a few bottles.

  But I heard that he had five princes, six daughters...

  and seven or eight concubines in the harem who were pregnant.

  Chen Luo didn't even give it.

  What the hell...

  bullying!

  Returned to the yard.

  The moonlight was bright and clear, and

  there was a woman in red sitting there in the courtyard.

  When I saw Chen Luo.

  Pursing his lips.

  His eyes turned a little red.

  "Chen Luo, can I stay here for a while?"

  he said.

  Tears fell like rain.
