Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 22: Farewell, the journey through the mortal world
Er Zhuang: So long? (`~)
"There are some things I need to consider carefully." Yan Huan said very seriously. As he said before, he loves the small fate in the secular world. The water in the alien world is too deep and he cannot grasp it.

If he were given another four or five years, his character and views might change.

Er Zhuang: Okay (▔, ▔).

Yan Huan turned off the screen of his phone and lay down.

Is five years a long time?

Not long, or even far from enough.

Yan Huan thought that he had a low level of comprehension, was unlucky and had a short life, and was not as intelligent and quick-thinking as the monkey.

Even if he is given another four years, he may not be able to clear all the confusion in his heart and see the moon. Moreover, he has to leave enough time to rush to East China to do things. He has to find the whereabouts of the wood spirit Bifang and send Mr. Jiao into the river and into the sea.

Five years is really not a long time.

"It's so difficult!" Yan Huan thought and fell into a deep sleep. He slept soundly, which was enough to wash away all his fatigue. A green-winged spirit bird and a flowing white rabbit also broke into his dream.

······
Four years passed in the blink of an eye, and the intelligent monkey ate four more peaches at Rotten Peach Mountain.

It is now early summer of 2014. The Northeast is still immersed in a cool and comfortable breeze. The sun is not too scorching, and it feels warm on people.

Yan Huan persevered in tempering his own life. After four years of hard training, he underwent a tremendous change.

The Qi sea is clear, the foundation is solid, the circulation of the Qi is smooth and pleasant, and even the control over the Qi has been improved by several levels.

Yan Huan sold the thank-you gifts from the Guan family - the wild ginseng, deer antlers, and of course the extremely valuable sable fur, and then used the money to set up a temple for the younger generations in Changbai Mountain.

During these four years, Yan Huan continued to make friends and was quite famous in the surrounding villages. Whenever he did things for others, he no longer simply asked for compensation, but instead asked the clients to burn incense in the hall.

Over the years, Bai Ling and Zheng Yang have been practicing with Yan Huan, and have also consumed incense from several nearby villages, and their strength has greatly improved.

The elves and Yan Huan are getting more and more compatible, and the innate magical powers that can be borrowed are becoming more and more sophisticated, including charm, illusion, curse, and exorcism... Yan Huan can already perform them with ease.

A series of changes always enable Yan Huan to see the profound truth in small details, and his previous views on things have also changed.

Four years ago, Yan Huan saw the turbulence in the world of extraordinary people, which was like the raging waves on the sea. Two years later, seeing it again was like the rolling waves on the river.

Now when Yan Huan sees these again, he feels that it is just a long river flowing peacefully.

Although there are still surging undercurrents at the bottom of the river, he has enough confidence to stand firm in it, instead of just standing and watching from afar in the face of strong winds and waves as before.

"The time has come. Let's go down the mountain to gain some experience and calm our minds." Yan Huan said and began to pack his belongings.

Practitioners divide the five internal organs - liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys - into three parts: the heart and lungs of fire and metal qi, the liver and kidneys of water and wood qi, and the spleen of earth qi, which is the foundation of the acquired constitution.

The earthly branch corresponding to “heart” is Shen, which in terms of the zodiac is the monkey, representing a free and unrestrained character with wild imagination and leaping thoughts.

The ancients called it "the monkey heart".

Cultivation is to experience and comprehend in order to seek the state of tranquility and bliss without joy, which is called "calming the mind".

The mind is to realize the word "emptiness", and this "emptiness" is not the stubborn emptiness and extinction sought in meditation and chanting, but to restrain desires, to know what can and cannot be done, and to also do what should and should not be done.

But if you let your mind wander and indulge in desires, you will end up letting the horse run wild.

Yan Huan looked back on these four years and realized that they were nothing compared to the Great Sage's five hundred years of hard training under the Five Elements Mountain.

Even so, Monkey King still needs to go through training again, so that his heart can return to the right path and the six thieves can disappear. Then Yan Huan has no reason not to go traveling.

It is the time for cultivation, as sooner or later you will enter the worldly world.

"Oh, looking at this little shabby house, I really feel reluctant to leave it."

A small house was sold to Uncle Wang next door for 30,000 yuan.

After practicing for several years, he dared to sell the golden cone and exchanged it for some money, so that he would not have to sleep on the street this time. Yan Huan did not bring anything in the house except books and some clothes.

As soon as the zippers of the schoolbag and suitcase were closed, the memories of the past twenty years were packed up together.

"Uncle Si Xi, thank you for your help."

After four years, Hu Sixi replaced his Subaru with a Mercedes-Benz.

"Uncle, I'm counting on you to take care of my temple. Don't worry too much, just make sure the incense is not cut off."

"Those are just small matters! It must not be interrupted!" Hu Sixi, who had shaved his beard, seemed to have regained some energy and agreed to the matter immediately. "My daughter has always said that she wants to take over for her brother Yan, but she is still too young and can't do anything."

"When she grows up, I will teach her some things. By then, she will be able to manage the parlor in an orderly manner."

"Okay! Thank Xiao Yan'er for me. Next time I come back, I will definitely bring her a bunch of snacks and a few sets of May 3rd." Yan said with a smile.

Hu Sixi touched his bald head and said, "May 3rd is too early. She won't be in junior high school until a few years later."

"Then make a set of three and two."

The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards the Mercedes-Benz. As soon as they opened the door, Yan Huan was startled by a person sitting cross-legged in the back seat.

No, it’s not a shock, it’s a surprise.

Yan Huan had expected that the Deng brothers would come to see him off, but this person was a bit unexpected.

"Auntie, is it really necessary for you to come here in person for such a small matter?"

"This is no small matter for the Guan family. If it weren't for you, the wanderer, Ma Xian'er's family would have been in great trouble both in terms of face and dignity." Guan Shihua said casually.

"You're too kind." Yan Huan took a look and found that the space in the back of the Mercedes-Benz was spacious enough, but it would be awkward to squeeze together with the grandparents, so he sat on the passenger seat.

"I'll take you on this trip. I'll get off when we get to the front. There's no big gap between you young people chatting, so I won't get involved. These years, my two untalented grandchildren have caused you a lot of trouble. It's a relief that you have the patience to teach these two stupid guys."

Guan Shihua spoke without giving any face to her two grandsons.

Deng Youfu pushed his glasses awkwardly and coughed a few times.

"Why are you still being so awkward? You don't act like a real man!" Guan Shihua waved her hand, "Let's go, Si'er, Youfu can't say some things in front of me, go to the main road and let me off."

The car started and started running on the country road.

Yan Huan turned around and said with a smile, "My dear, you are really too kind. Teaching others is also teaching yourself. Besides, what can I teach others with the little knowledge I have? I just hope I don't mislead the students."

Even though it was a farewell, Yan Huan didn't want to make it too sad. Besides, with the development of communication nowadays, it was not a problem to keep in touch!
Video calls have been around for six years.

"Brothers, you are so lucky and talented. Please keep in touch when we are far apart. Don't cut off contact!" Yan Huan raised his phone. "Wait for the Luotian Grand Ceremony in Longhu Mountain next June. If I have time to travel to Jiangxi, I will go meet you two and have a drink then."

The Deng brothers nodded.

When the car reached the corner of the main road, Guan Shihua prepared to get off. Before leaving, she gave a sandalwood rosary to Yan Huan.

"You can handle the affairs inside the pass yourself. If there is anything you cannot handle, ask Xiao Huzi's people for help. This will be considered as a small favor I have paid back."

Yan Huan took the rosary and wrapped it around her wrist.

Little tiger, which little tiger?
Before he could say anything, the little old lady had already gone far away. Her determined and petite figure walked to a bush of flowers and stared at the butterflies flying among them.

Suddenly, she seemed to react to something immediately. She looked back in surprise, but Hu Laosi's car had already disappeared in the traffic.

"The Luotian Grand Ceremony will be held in June next year. I haven't even received this letter. How did he know about it?"

Liu Bowen, who knew 500 years ahead and 500 years later?
Tsk tsk tsk!
Guan Shihua pursed her dry lips and said, "I must be confused."
