This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 50 Return to Kuching
The outside world knew nothing about what happened in Yinxian Valley. Apart from Liu Lei and the remaining people after the planning group was disbanded, no one cared about Yinxian Valley anymore.

Although Liu Hongyu left a message saying that there was no need to pay attention to Yinxian Valley anymore and outsiders were not allowed to look for it, after all, his boss had returned to Yinxian Valley, so how could Liu Lei and others not pay attention?

But this time, the Hidden Immortal Valley disappeared again!
Compared to the last time when it disappeared for only a few days without any danger, this time it is completely gone.

There are people exploring in the mountains, and today there are helicopters searching directly in the sky.

And not one, but three planes!

In one of the helicopters, Leng Zhiheng and Zhou Xianglin, who had received the news and had to rush over, were sitting on it.

The propellers were so noisy that everyone on the plane had to use noise-canceling headphones to communicate.

The giant in the sky flew over the reserve at a relatively low altitude, frightening the animals in the mountains and wilds.

The weather is clear today. There is still fog in some places in the mountains, but most areas can be seen.

"How could it be? How could it not be found?"

Zhou Xianglin murmured, still a little bit unbelievable.

Leng Zhiheng on the side also had an inexplicable expression on his face. He couldn't help but think of Zhuang Lin's appearance, and at that time he vaguely understood that Master Zhuang was not an ordinary person.

And after returning to Zhonghai City, Liu Lei also said that the boss was not an ordinary person.

But what Liu Lei and Leng Zhiheng knew was actually very limited, and this limited information had to be kept absolutely confidential. Even Zhou Xianglin, who was on the plane, didn't know.

The pilot in front glanced at the navigation and calculated according to the coordinates that he could continue to move forward.

After just a quick glance, the pilot and co-pilot suddenly discovered that the navigation interface was messed up and the numbers were jumping around randomly.

"Beep—" "Beep beep beep"

"Data error." "Oh no, the electronic equipment signal is disrupted!"

"Dududududu"

The alarm sounds became more and more frequent, and the driver and co-pilot became nervous all of a sudden, while everyone in the back was nervous.

"Hold the rudder steady!" "Quick, fly away from this area--"

The pilot and co-pilot's voices involuntarily increased in volume. After a flurry of maneuvers, they struggled to turn the helicopter. Fortunately, the power and control systems seemed to be minimally affected.
After a brief crisis, all the instruments and equipment on the helicopter finally returned to normal. However, they did not dare to continue flying, but chose to return directly to check whether there was any problem with the equipment.

At the end of the day, only one of the three helicopters had a problem, while the other two, which also passed through the same coordinate area, were all functioning normally.

But the result was the same: no one found the target.

Even the ground personnel went to look for it along the mountain path that the transport team had taken not long ago, but after going deep into the protected area, the so-called road disappeared unnoticed, as if human footprints only continued to the periphery of the protected area, and no one had ever set foot inside.

This result was unexpected, but also expected by some people.

Anyway, even if Zhou Xianglin still had opinions afterwards, Liu Lei had already made the decision that there would be no more searches and no unofficial organizations would be allowed to interfere in the theoretical economic forest area.
-
The vast majority of people in Yinxian Valley are unaware of what is happening in the outside world.

More than a month has passed since we took a class together at the cram school that day.

Life in Yinxian Valley has completely returned to normal, or in a sense, it has returned to the right track.

Zhuang Lin had never seen a true immortal sect, nor did he think that the current Hidden Immortal Valley was a proper immortal sect.

At best, it is an environment suitable for cultivation and with many like-minded people. Of course, this is a bit of an understatement. Even Zhuang Lin now knows that Yinxian Valley is definitely a place that all immortals dream of.

However, this is just Zhuang Lin's personal opinion. People in the valley may not think so. After all, it is a legendary fairyland. Even if he cannot cultivate immortality in it, he has been touched by the immortal spirit.

And even if we take a step back, ordinary people can prolong their lives just by living here!
Therefore, people already have the mark of being from the immortal sect deep in their hearts, and therefore have higher aspirations.

Of course, it is already very good to have changed from excessive daydreaming at the beginning to finding ways to improve oneself now.

Zhuang Lin estimated that if things settled for a while and the restlessness in people's hearts faded, the real gold would gradually emerge from the fire!

“Ohhhh~~~”

It's another day of rooster crowing, and it's still that majestic big rooster. After crowing, it stretches its body and combs its feathers in the morning light.

Such a proud posture, as if the sun had to get its permission before rising from the east.

Since the cave was hidden, the spiritual energy in the Hidden Immortal Valley has become increasingly rich. Under the morning light, various places in the mountain even diffract some extraordinary luster.

At the top of the valley, there is a lush green grass, and a drop of morning dew seems to be about to fall. The morning light shines on the dew, emitting a faint colorful halo.

"cluck"

The big rooster was combing its hair one moment, and the next moment it rushed to the grass with a strange cry, stretching out its neck to catch the dew.

Such dewdrops are not available every day, nor are they fixed on a certain plant. Whether you can find them depends on luck.

After drinking the dew, the big rooster began to walk around the valley very proudly again, and from time to time he would look down at the entire valley from above, as if he was inspecting his territory.

Zhuang Lin was looking at the big rooster in the valley in the school yard, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

The rooster had no idea that it had already been to the gates of hell. At that final Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, if he hadn't dissuaded it, the rooster's owner would have already resorted to knife-wielding it. Now the rooster was showing signs of awakening. Perhaps it would be the first demon cultivator born in Hidden Immortal Valley?
No, no, no, how can I lose my dignity? I am a fairy beast after all!
Zhuang Lin looked at the big rooster with a slightly entertaining mindset, then looked away.
-
After a while, children began to come to school one after another.

Inside the school today, Zhuang Lin not only teaches the children to read and write, but also smuggles in some private stuff about the Tao.

After all, to be honest, Zhuang Lin has a closer relationship with the children than anyone else in the valley, and children have purer minds and are easier to guide.

After everyone was seated today, Zhuang Lin looked at Liu Hongyu, who was sitting a little further back to the side.

"Boyuan"

"exist!"

Boyuan is Liu Hongyu's pen name. When carving seals for all the children that day, Zhuang Lin also gave him a courtesy name, which complemented his real name and also implied his ambition.

Of course, Liu Hongyu also has a small seal.

Liu Hongyu was happy for a long time because of this matter, even more so than when he got the sword box and the magic sword.

"Your academic performance is outstanding. I'm going to be away for a while. While I'm gone, you will lead the students in their studies!"

Liu Hongyu was shocked.

"Master, you're leaving. Where are you going? How long will you be gone? Can you take me with you? Do you need me to arrange anything?"

In class, Liu Hongyu also called his teacher "Teacher".

Zhuang Lin shook his head.

"It's not convenient for you to go out yet. You can't arrange where I go. As for the time, it's still uncertain. By the way, do you have your seal with you?"

If that can’t be arranged, then we should go to Kuching?

Thinking of this, Liu Hongyu quickly responded.

"Here I am!"

While answering, Liu Hongyu took out a small seal from his arms.

This seal is about the thickness of a thumb and about the same length. The style has simple patterns, which is not complicated but very delicate and attractive.

And on the text part of the seal, the words "Boyuan" are engraved.

Zhuang Lin took the seal from Liu Hongyu, then lightly touched the text with his thumb, and a faint glow flashed by.

After doing this, Zhuang Lin returned the seal to Liu Hongyu.

"Holding this seal can mobilize the forces in the mountains to a certain extent. Well, just don't overdo it."

"Disciple accepts the order!"

Liu Hongyu forced himself to be more serious, but he could hardly suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Master, when are you leaving?"

"Just sit in on a class first, and I'll watch you!"

Zhuang Lin said this and sat down at the side.

Liu Hongyu nodded and walked to the table over there. After sitting down, he looked at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on it, and touched the ruler, feeling quite curious.

The children below stared at him with wide eyes, and some, like Xiaowen, were already making subtle faces.
A moment later, Zhuang Lin had left the school, but he did not leave Yinxian Valley immediately. Instead, he went to the house next door first.

Zhuang Lin took a bookcase and put a few sets of clothes in it, as well as writing brushes, inkstones, paper, and two blank silk scrolls. He also packed a few books for reading, and then sorted out some miscellaneous items such as candlesticks and candles. Finally, he was ready.

Afterwards, Zhuang Lin tidied himself up and put on his scholar's scarf on his head. Only when he felt everything was almost ready did he carry his book box and go out.

This is more like a traveling scholar!

However, after leaving the school, Zhuang Lin did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to visit the carpenter class master and stayed there for a while before leaving.

Zhuang Lin confirmed one thing: Master Ban really didn't have any large pieces of snake-grain wood left, and the rest of the good materials didn't come in large pieces either.

If you want a big toy, you still have to find the materials yourself.

However, when leaving Master Ban, Zhuang Lin still took away a piece of brown sandalwood, which was said to be heartwood, reddish-brown in color, and felt even heavier than the serpentine wood.

Around noon, at the small gorge where Tao Yuanming had entered, Zhuang Lin jumped lightly and landed outside as if on a gust of breeze.

Even though the valley had already harvested a round of peaches, the peach forest outside was still full of fruits. Zhuang Lin picked some and finally walked to the end of the peach forest.

The small boat that was bought with the gold and silver hairpins is still tied there, but there are already a lot of fallen leaves on the boat.

Zhuang Lin jumped lightly onto the boat. As the boat drifted away, the rope tied to the peach tree was loosened and returned to the boat. Then he swung his sleeves back.

The next moment, the boat was moving forward along the current and soon it was far away.
