This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 48 From today on, the immortals will hide in Shennong

Indeed, after most people left, Yinxian Valley became much quieter.

Those who stayed behind were affected by this and were more or less depressed for a few days.

But after all, there are still quite a few people left, at least everything in the valley is operating as usual.

Moreover, the Hidden Immortal Valley, which already had enough supplies for its own production and sales, now has even more abundant material resources per capita.

The greatest gift the planning team left them was that, except for the personal belongings taken away by those who left the valley, all the facilities of Hidden Immortal Valley, even the exaggerated collection of books in the school, were retained without any further interference.

Moreover, many of those who stayed were veterans or special groups of people.

Many of them are tired of the outside world and naturally yearn for the peaceful and beautiful life in Yinxian Valley. Some have their own pursuits and are studying to the pinnacle of their skills in the valley.

The high remuneration given in the plan contract is designated for the accounts of juniors or relatives outside, so that these people have no worries and can live for themselves in the remaining time!

Of course, there were also people like Fu Zeyang who thought that it would be convenient to ask Master Zhuang for advice when they had problems studying martial arts in the valley, and they could go outside at any time.

Even these warriors have actually already vaguely sensed something special, such as the strength gained from training in the valley is far greater than that from the outside world, and the same is true for their improvement in martial arts training and physical recovery.
-
The once relatively lively small society is certainly missed, but the people who remain are more compatible with each other.

Because those who stayed had more to talk about, most of the young people made an appointment to learn martial arts with Fu Zeyang and others to strengthen their bodies.

At the same time, there are people like Tang Bin who, on the basis of ensuring their physical fitness, are preparing to apprentice to some masters of skills, not only to find something to do but also to have a skill to rely on in the future.

So after a few days of adaptation, the remaining people in the valley gradually adjusted themselves and their moods gradually improved.

The rules in the valley have not changed at all.

If you are sick, don't worry, Grandpa Mu is in charge of the clinic. You can also rest assured about your studies. Master Zhuang is still teaching in the school, and you can ask him anytime if you have any questions.

By the third day, classes at Gu Middle School had resumed as usual.

Although there are only a dozen students left in the school, and most of them are relatively young, the children still dare not slack off in class.

After all, there are fewer students, so there are fewer people to share the firepower. The teacher's eyes are on such a small number of people, who would dare to desert?
Of course, there have been changes. Outside of the classroom, students have become more intimate with their teacher Zhuang Lin.

Zhuang Lin would even take students for a stroll around the valley, which could be considered an autumn outing for the children.

Of course, for Zhuang Lin, cultivation cannot be neglected either.

Having looked at the formation diagram album of Wangxian Temple, I not only filled in the unclear parts of the formation of Yinxian Valley, but also had broader extended associations with the rest of the content.

Therefore, Zhuang Lin also made new breakthroughs in his understanding of cultivation. At least his control over everything within the valley formation has reached several levels higher.

It can be said that he is making progress every day, and while taking the students on a tour, he has made certain changes to the formation.

After all, the limit of Taoist Jingyu back then was just to do what he did before, and he even lost his life, but this is far from Zhuang Lin's limit!
The complete "Picture of Stars, Moon and Rain in the Eastern Jin Dynasty" is not a big problem for Zhuang Lin now.

Moreover, due to further personal rectification, it seems that every blade of grass and every tree in the Hidden Immortal Valley conforms to some natural law of heaven and man, and the flow of spiritual energy is more vibrant!

Sometimes Zhuang Lin would sit in front of the school gate in the middle of the night. With a slight thought and a slight attempt, he would cause the soil and rocks around the school to change.

If Zhuang Lin is willing, this change inside the Hidden Immortal Valley formation can even reach an extremely exaggerated level.

This is not because Zhuang Lin has already mastered the changes of the five elements, but because of the more convenient power of the formation.

However, it must be said that the formation atlas and the current process of perfecting the formation also had a huge impact on Zhuang Lin's theory of the five elements and yin and yang.

At the same time, Zhuang Lin also roughly understood one thing: the location of the Hidden Immortal Valley and the surrounding terrain are themselves extremely complex, otherwise the current formation would definitely not be arranged.

According to the spiritual calculations of this place, it is even possible that this place is the site of a paradise!
-
After more than ten days, the people in the valley have completely adapted to their current life.

But on this day, the arrival of a person once again broke the tranquility in the valley.

On this day, Zhuang Lin was teaching students in the school, but Tang Bin came running in breathlessly and started shouting when he arrived at the school gate.

"Mr. Zi'an, Mr. Zi'an, please go and have a look. Young Master Liu is back again—"

Zhuang Lin put down the book in his hand. In fact, he knew it from the moment Liu Hongyu entered the periphery of the formation, but that was still a long way off.

Mu Hongwen was excited when he heard this and turned to look outside.

"Uncle Tang, you're not seeing things, are you?"

"Oh, you're right. Even though we're still on the road outside the valley, Second Brother Li saw it. His eyes were like an eagle's. Besides, how could we be wrong about Young Master Liu? And that sword case he was carrying, I'd recognize it even if it turned into ash!"

The classroom suddenly became noisy, with students talking among themselves, and Zhuang Lin had already stood up.

Obviously, it was not just Zhuang Lin who received the news, or rather, the person who delivered the news was shouting and running around to let the rest of the people in the valley know.

Soon, people from all over the valley came out and gathered in groups of three or four towards the hill intersection leading to the valley.

Zhuang Lin was accompanied by a dozen students and arrived at the intersection earlier. From a distance, he could see Liu Hongyu walking up the road with a sword case on his back. Of course, he was still wearing the same ancient costume.

The second son of the Li family and some people who arrived earlier saw Zhuang Lin coming and hurried over.

"Mr. Zi'an, why is he back?" "Yes, and it seems he's alone?"

"Isn't he recovered from his illness? Why is he back? The planning team has been disbanded!"

"Will the Liu Group cause us trouble?"

Zhuang Lin looked at everyone. His current consolation was pale, and everything would become clear later.

"Now that he's here, we'll make the best of it. We'll know when he comes!"

Seeing Zhuang Lin so calm, Mr. Mu felt even more confused. He couldn't help but think of the scene that night when Liu Hongyu opened the door by himself.

Perhaps Master Zhuang already knew something?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Mr. Mu did not ask. Just as Zhuang Zian said, he would know later. Even if there were any variables, it should be revealed now!
More and more people gathered nearby, and their expressions were filled with astonishment and a little uneasiness.

But with Zhuang Lin here, everyone didn't get confused.

As Liu Hongyu got closer, people could see a smile that came from the heart on his face, which made everyone feel inexplicably at ease.

Mu Hongwen was undoubtedly one of the most excited people. Standing next to the teacher and grandfather, he couldn't help but jump and shout.

"Master Liu—Master Liu—we are here—"

Liu Hongyu looked up and knew that everyone was there to greet him. As he listened to Xiaowen's clear voice, the smile on his face widened.

Moreover, with Liu Hongyu's current vision, he can see that most of the people he wants to retain have stayed here, although not all of them, but how can everything be perfect?

When we got closer, some people in the crowd started asking us questions.

"Mr. Liu, why are you here?" "Didn't you go home?"

"Mr. Liu, please don't scare us."

"Brother Liu, what's going on?"

People had so many questions that Liu Hongyu couldn't answer them all. He simply bowed to his neighbors and walked straight to Zhuang Lin. "Master, I'm back!"

Zhuang Lin showed a knowing smile on his face.

"What about the Liu Group?"

Liu Hongyu still had that bright smile on his face.

"During the years when my father was in poor health, we mainly relied on Brother Lei and the others to manage the company. Having him manage it is much better than me, so I feel more at ease. Well, he just has some big opinions."

Liu Hongyu could say this, obviously everything has been handled.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Zhuang Lin laughed loudly and powerfully, and his smile was so contagious that it reassured those who were worried around him.

Then Zhuang Lin's smile faded and he looked around, seeing faces and mountains near and far.

"That's fine, that's fine!"

After saying that, Zhuang Lin looked at the other people in the valley again, glanced at Liu Hongyu who looked expectant, thought for a moment, and spoke again with a feeling of three parts mischief and seven parts emotion.

"Since you have all met Tao Yuanming and know this is the Peach Blossom Spring, I'm sure you can also accept its other secrets, right?"

Other secrets? Everyone was puzzled, but before anyone could ask, Zhuang Lin continued speaking.

"In addition to the inner valley, my Hidden Immortal Valley also has nineteen peaks on the outer edge, six gorges and three ravines, numerous streams and springs, a secluded pool, and small valleys and gardens hidden in the mountains."

Zhuang Lin's voice seemed to be quiet, but everyone could hear it clearly. As he spoke, his eyes looked in all directions, as if he was gazing at the scenery he was describing from afar.

As Zhuang Lin finished speaking, a strange feeling arose in the mountain.

Ordinary people cannot describe it. They just know that something is changing. There is an indescribable feeling of slight dizziness and numbness, but it is not discomfort.

However, Liu Hongyu understood that the spiritual energy in the mountains was becoming increasingly active, and he even felt as if heaven and earth were responding to each other.
Zhuang Lin's voice, with a smile on his face, paused slightly before continuing.

"From today on, the cave will be hidden, and the Tao will merge with heaven and earth!"

The sound of these words was like a whistle, echoing among the nearby mountains and rivers, and it seemed to shake everyone's hearts and minds, and everyone felt a slight swaying feeling.

But it is not these few words that really shock people.

As Zhuang Lin finished speaking, the surrounding world changed drastically!
Brush~brush~brush~brush~
Visible to the naked eye, brilliant lights shot up into the sky, coming from all over the valley, outside the valley, and even from the surrounding mountains.

And the next moment, the sky and the earth darkened, and the stars appeared in the daytime.

The entire Hidden Immortal Valley is shining with the sun and the moon in the flowing light!

But this is not the end. In the Tuyue Valley, some of the houses that were originally vacant began to shift under the influence of the formation.

Some houses even floated into the air and flew in all directions in an instant.

Some flew into the woods, while others flew towards the surrounding mountains.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble."

The trembling sound was continuous, as if the earth and sky were shaking. The beasts in the mountains were chirping and the birds were flying, obviously in panic.
After a long time, some of the places where the big pits should have been left at the old houses were covered with soil by themselves, and the traces disappeared in an instant.
Zhuang Lin had wanted to do this for a long time. The feeling of completely controlling and integrating the formation was truly mysterious, and even gave him the illusion that he was omnipotent.

But an illusion is just an illusion after all. After everything was over, Zhuang Lin woke up.

The sky light returned, the stars and the moon disappeared, and everything returned to peace.

If many buildings in the valley had not disappeared and the layout of the houses had not changed slightly, some people might have thought that it was just an illusion.

But now, apparently no one thinks so.

Quiet, long quiet.

Some people maintained a slightly open mouth expression, some kept their eyes wide open, and some even had dilated pupils.

After a long time, someone finally rubbed his eyes, and then someone pinched his cheek
"Am I still asleep? Why are you pinching me?"

Tang Bin asked stupidly at first, then jumped up in pain and slapped the people around him.

"I'm here to help you verify this."

Then more and more people reacted and looked at Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu.

Excited is not enough to describe people's mood at the moment. They even feel a kind of panic that makes them feel overwhelmed, and their bodies are trembling slightly due to the intense excitement.

Even Mr. Mu could hardly suppress the horror in his eyes. He had thought of countless possibilities, but this one was just too exciting!
The one who really broke this inexplicable awe was the child, Mu Hongwen suddenly pointed at Liu Hongyu.

"Ah—then you weren't a psychopath before!"

Yes, if seeking immortality is true, then what kind of mental illness does Young Master Liu have?
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Ahahahahahahahahaha."

As soon as the clear and sweet childish words came out, Liu Hongyu burst into exaggerated laughter, even laughing so hard that tears were about to come out.

Because of this "mental illness", he missed too much, and because of this "mental illness", he also gained a lot. The ups and downs of life are all in it.
Maybe it was this display, or maybe it was just Mu Hongwen's shout.

At this moment, Liu Hongyu's state of mind seemed to have undergone a transformation!
Then he picked up Mu Hongwen and put him on his shoulder.

"I've been saying for years that I'm not mentally ill. Look, the truth is out today, right? Come on, I'll show you my new trick. It'll definitely be more convenient in this place with abundant spiritual energy!"

As he spoke, Liu Hongyu took off the sword case and swung it forward with all his might. At the same time, he jumped into the air and then landed steadily on the sword case in mid-air.

"Om-"

Amid the sound of swords ringing, Liu Hongyu carried Xiaowen on his back, like a sword immortal riding a sword, gliding through the air towards the valley below.

Only Mu Hongwen's scream of "Ah——" and Liu Hongyu's smiling "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid" echoed in the valley.

Zhuang Lin let out a long sigh, then looked at the nervous people around him and smiled.

"You all have outstanding minds and personalities. Now that the external affairs have been resolved, we are the people of the valley. Even if there are some changes, we just need to adapt to them.

Even if your spirituality isn't strong enough to support the path to immortality, staying in the valley can still prolong your life! By the way, do you want to try it?"

"Try? Try what?"

Fu Zeyang asked stupidly, it’s been such a short time, no one would be able to adapt to it mentally.

Zhuang Lin rarely showed a mischievous smile. He looked at the children around him with wide eyes and other people with inexplicable emotions, then turned his head and gestured towards the source of the screams echoing in the valley.

"Well, just like them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Lin, who felt a little playful, waved his sleeves and a floating light appeared.

The next moment, everyone followed Zhuang Lin into the air, and with many people scrambling in a panic, he took them flying into the valley in an instant.

This time the screams were endless.
