Chapter 481 Meeting Hu Jiuniang Again
Hujiazhuang.
That is the original site of Zhujiayao.
After Zhu Biao passed away, this place became the property of Hu Tianyou.
Hu Tianyou himself spent most of his time walking on Danxia Peak and had no time to take care of the Four Immortal Grasses.
So, the Four Immortal Grasses were handed over to his sister Hu Jiuniang for management. In order to better manage the Four Immortal Grasses, Hu Jiuniang did not marry out, but recruited a live-in son-in-law.
This live-in son-in-law came from a small immortal cultivation family, which was not as powerful as the Hu family, and his talent was far inferior to that of Hu Jiuniang.
He worked like a cow and a horse in the Hu family all his life, and even his children had the surname Hu.
When Hu Tianyou was away, Hu Jiuniang was the head of the family here.
One day, in a house full of flowers and green plants, Hu Jiuniang was feeding carp by the fish pond.
Next to Hu Jiuniang, the live-in son-in-law was busy serving tea and pouring water.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of Hu Jiuniang flashed, and a calm young man appeared in front of her.
Hu Jiuniang was about to scold her when she found that the young man in front of her was too familiar.
"You are... Senior Brother Xu!"
After looking for a moment, Hu Jiuniang blurted out, and then immediately realized her mistake and quickly changed her words: "Disciple Hu Jiuniang, I pay my respects to Master Xu."
"Haha, Jiuniang, there is no need to be polite."
Xu Changshou smiled and looked at Hu Jiuniang carefully.
At this moment, she looked like a woman in her forties or fifties. Although she looked quite old, she had fair skin and was well maintained, giving people a feeling of remaining charm.
Xu Changshou couldn't help but sigh that time was ruthless. When he first met Hu Jiuniang, she was still a lively young girl, but now she is already a middle-aged woman.
Fortunately, Hu Jiuniang is still a Qi-refining cultivator, otherwise, I'm afraid she would have been a cup of yellow earth.
Seeing Xu Changshou looking at her seriously, Hu Jiuniang took a step back, somewhat afraid to look directly at Xu Changshou.
It has been more than ninety years since they met. Xu Changshou is much more stable than before, and time does not seem to have left any traces on him.
At first, she had a good impression of Xu Changshou and thought about being his Taoist partner.
However, Xu Changshou grew up too fast. A few years after leaving Zhujiayao, she got the news that Xu Changshou had built his foundation.
At that time, she realized that she and Xu Changshou were no longer on the same level, and she didn't dare to look for Xu Changshou.
Later, not long after she took charge of Hujiazhuang, she received the news that Xu Changshou had formed a pill.
Hu Jiuniang completely gave up and didn't dare to have any illusions about Xu Changshou. She felt that they would never have any intersection in this life.
She never thought that one day Xu Changshou would come to her in person.
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Hu Jiuniang hurriedly tidied her clothes.
She bowed again: "Master Xu, please come in."
Xu Changshou waved his hand, pointed to the stone table and bench next to him, and smiled: "No need to be polite, old friends meet, just be casual, let's sit here."
After speaking, Xu Changshou sat casually on the stone bench.
The son-in-law who came to the house on the side was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Although he was not a disciple of the Green Immortal Sect, he also knew what the golden robe meant.
In his eyes, Hu Tianyou, the head of the Hu family, was already a person who could not be higher. He never expected that his wife knew the Golden Elixir Master.
Hu Jiuniang glanced at him and was immediately very angry at his low look. She looked at Xu Changshou and then at her man. There was no comparison.
She could not help but scolded:
"Da Lang, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and make tea!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Here I come."
The son-in-law ran over, hurriedly ran over to pour out the tea, and then took out a new set of tea sets to make tea again.
After pouring the tea, Hu Jiuniang placed the cup in front of Xu Changshou and said softly: "Master Xu, this is the unique white flower tea of my Hujiazhuang, please try it!"
"Hmm!"
Xu Changshou held the cup and took a sip casually, only to feel a floral fragrance with a slight sweetness.
Hu Jiuniang asked carefully: "How does it taste?"
Xu Changshou nodded and praised: "Although it is a small tea variety, it has a unique flavor."
Hearing Xu Changshou's praise, Hu Jiuniang was very happy: "These flower teas are all grown by me. If you like them, pack some when you leave."
"Okay!"
Xu Changshou drank a sip of tea, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and then looked at the happy carp in the fish pond.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Although he was a Jindan cultivator, he was busy for resources and sitting for practice all day.
Even though he had a high level of Taoism and lived for hundreds of years, he had no time to live this kind of pastoral life with flowers, plants, fish and insects.
Seeing Xu Changshou observing her courtyard, Hu Jiuniang was secretly delighted. This courtyard was created by her with great effort.
The intrigues in the world of immortal cultivation were too tiring. Occasionally, growing flowers and feeding fish would be a good life.
"Master Xu, how about this courtyard? Do you like it?"
Xu Changshou nodded: "Not bad, it's well decorated."
Hu Jiuniang smiled and said: "If you like it, why not stay for a few days."
This sentence made Xu Changshou feel blessed.
"In that case, sorry to bother you!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly and decided to stay here for a few days.
He had been practicing all the way through thorns and thorns. Although his cultivation level improved quickly, the dark practice and sitting day after day were really exhausting.
It is true that the Shixin Fu can make him practice ten times faster, but the ten times faster practice experience is also real.
For example, it takes ten years to cultivate from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan with the help of the time heart talisman, but in Xu Changshou's perception, it actually takes a hundred years to sit in meditation.
Fortunately, Xu Changshou has a firm heart. If he were an ordinary cultivator, he would have collapsed long ago.
Even though Xu Changshou has a firm heart, he also has some fear of meditation.
Cultivation is a combination of work and rest. Overwork will hurt, and over-rest will lead to fall.
Hu Jiuniang's invitation made Xu Changshou think a lot, so he agreed to her request.
He wanted to use her small courtyard to cleanse his heart and purge the dregs in his heart, so that his heart of Taoism could be more firm.
Hu Jiuniang was stunned at first, and then secretly delighted.
Her casual invitation was just a polite gesture, but she didn't expect that Xu Changshou would actually agree.
At this time, Xu Changshou was a Jindan cultivator. Giving her a little benefit would be enough for her to benefit for life.
"By the way, Master Xu, do you have something to ask me?" Hu Jiuniang asked.
Xu Changshou thought for a while and said, "I plan to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills for my son. I have all the other spiritual medicines, but I am short of a Four Immortal Grass. I asked your brother, and he said you have it, so I came."
"Yes!"
Hu Jiuniang nodded. She was a little depressed when she heard that Xu Changshou had a son: "I have kept that Four Immortal Grass all the time, and I have no chance to use it."
Xu Changshou smiled when he heard this: "Jiu Niang, can you give it to me? I am willing to pay ten times the price."
"Master Xu wants it, so I will give it to you. No money is required. However, Jiu Niang has a small request."
Xu Changshou nodded: "Speak!"
Hu Jiu Niang tidied her clothes, and then knelt down directly in front of Xu Changshou.
"Da Lang, you kneel down too."
"Hey!"
The couple knelt down in front of Xu Changshou.
"Jiu Niang, why are you doing this? Get up quickly!"
