Chapter 102: Ch. 47 Part 2

When the sun was at its peak the next day, the folks of ’Big Stone Village’ were frightened by the suddenly vigorous trembling of the earth as if an earthquake was about to happen. Those on the farms dropped their farm tools running home to their families and those at home had already started packing up their most important belongings preparing to flee for their lives.

"....it’s an earthquake! hurry up and ran for your lives!"

"Wuuu, the gods have forsaken us!"

"Where will we go now? Will the government come to our aide?"

People running here and there hugging their young ones closely, the old and young with tears and desperation. Over the years earthquakes happen all year around in the dynasty, so as soon as there was a slight trembling in the earth the first thoughts was an earthquake. Without any further thoughts the villagers only wanted to scrap the valuable belongings they possessed and abandon everything else. Although it was with heartache to abandon the place of their ancestors, but at the moment saving lives was the most important.

As the villagers were immensed in their actions of fleeing, a group of people galloping on horses and carriages on high speed started slowing down one after the other upon reaching the premises of the village entrance. Those group were Yanzhi’s and Xiao Ling’s group who had finally arrived to the village, ending their journey back from the imperial city.

"It seems it’s not an earthquake!"

A young villager announced bringing those closest to the village entrance to halt, setting their restless and panicked hearts at ease.

"But where are all these horses going to? Is it an official stopping by our village?"

Although knowing that there was no earthquake, the villagers were fully not at ease. They stood aside giving way to the hoarses and the luxurious looking carriages into the village.

As soon as Yanzhi’s and Xiao Ling’s carriage rode into the village, Yanzhi released his consciousness once more covering the whole village and mountains...as if to welcome him back the trees shook their branches as if being blown by the wind and animals from small to big squeaked and roared. Such phenomena shocked the entire villagers, it only lasted a few seconds before dying down. While the villagers were discussing the strange events occurring one after the other with doubts, some even started accusing others of doing something offensive against the gods so the gods wanted to punish them, Yanzhi’s group continued to move on with no care to such small discussions of the villagers.

"Hey, isn’t that Lixin?"

"It’s Lixin!"

Some people with quick eyes pointed at Lixin who was sitting on the coach seat with Xile.

"Hey quickly go call the village chief, Lixin is back!"

An elderly lady roared instructing one of the youngsters.

"Look it’s Yanzhi’s servant, Xile!" a young man pointed out too. An older man hit the young man on the head "it’s master Yan, becareful you offend master Yan with how you address him!" and said reprimanding the young man.

In Yanzhi’s carriage they all frowned hearing the discussions of the villagers, with his consciousness surrounding the entire village and mountains, it was no feat to be able to hear everything said by the villagers. So such discussions about himself, natural did not escape his ears. And Xiao Ling although was unable to cover the entire village with his consciousness, but to cover up about a few hundreds of meters around him was an easy feat so he also naturally heard the conversations of the villagers. And Yue and the others who in the first place were not humans, they were naturally blessed with sensitive hearing.

"Master they.." Chang turned to Yanzhi with an troubled expression.

But Yanzhi looked not be really bothered by their concerns.

"Xiang gong do you think something happened in our absence?"

"Naturally.... we’ll hear all about it all from them" Yanzhi answered to Xiao Ling looking out the window at Lin and the others who rode on their horses to welcome them.

"Master!"

Lin and his brothers cupped respectfully, only receiving a nod from Yanzhi.

"Everything else will be discussed at home...." Yanzhi said cutting off everyone who was ready to ask questions upon seeing Lin. "Reject all those coming to visit, I will not see anyone for now until after a few days time of rest." He added while looking at hypocritic and the eager faces of the villagers.

"Understood!"

Lin and the others rode ahead to carryout Yanzhi’s orders, and block all those wanting to run to the carriage just to get a glimpse of Yanzhi. Some villagers were very upset being stopped by Lin and his fellows, some jealous ones also muttered a few curses saying Yanzhi had forgotten his roots now that he had made it in life, while the wisest ones knowing that they needed something from Yanzhi, angering him would not be wise compromised and gave way to the horses and carriages.....all these did not affect Yanzhi in anyway because in the first place he never had eyes for these mortals.

The horses were brought to a halt at the foot of the mountain, with how slope the mountain terrain was the carriages couldn’t go any further. The people from the beggar’s sect brought from the capital unmounted their horses seeing No. 6 and 7 doing so along with Lin and the others. The door of the carriage also opened and the rests also got down from the carriage. The people of the beggar’s sect began to be skeptical of their new headquarters as they could only spot one house at the foot of the mountain which could not even accommodate one-third of their numbers.They were with doubtful looks and some couldn’t help but think whether the decision to follow Yanzhi and Xiao Ling was a mistake. They couldn’t think of any reason why they would stop at the foot of a mountain, it wouldn’t be that the new masters didn’t have houses for them and could only accommodate them in caves on the mountains... right? It was normal for them to be doubtful because looking from the foot of the mountain one couldn’t really see far and view even half the terrain of the mountain so the magnificent sight that was waiting for them was shrouded from their sights.

Chang pushed open the door of their carriage and got out in a haste, followed by Bee and the rest...Yanzhi extended his hand to Xiao Ling helping him get down after him. Standing side by side with Yanzhi, Xiao Ling took in a deep breath and exhaled with relaxation...."surely, the air here is the most comfortable!" as if all the exhaustion had been washed off he said with certainty.

"Naturally!" Yanzhi stroke his cheeks and said proudly thinking how could other places in this space compare to their mountain? The pure qi from heaven and earth which bath the whole mountain could not be found anywhere else but their mountain.

"Is that the eldest child of the Jun family, what happened to his hair and eyes" The villagers where shocked seeing Yanzhi’s look.

"I almost didn’t recognize him"

"Is that a transformation he went through because of martial arts? He looks rather dashing even more beautiful than a woman"

"So dashing about that, isn’t it just looking delicate like a woman!" a young man made a jealous remark.

Ignoring the doubtful group and unlooking villagers who had more or less almost surrounded them, Yanzhi took out a formation flag and threw it a few feet away from him. One would think he randomly threw the flag but he naturally did it with careful consideration, the flag become invisible to the eyes as soon as it stick.

"Chang you know where to stick the rests right, when you’re done you come up"

Ignoring the shocked gasps from the villagers, Yanzhi instructed Chang. With his wide knowledge on every expect in cultivation Yanzhi had done his best passing those knowledge to his disciples. But even with his teachings not all knowledge could be absorbed by them, each had a certain aspect they were very good at. Just like Feng who was knowledgeable in pill refining and growing spiritual herbs, Chang’s strong hold was formation.

"Understood!" Chang cupped and swiftly moved between the crowds to carryout with the instructions given.

"Let’s go up, little wife...to our brand new start." With a rare smile on his very well chiselled face he invited Xiao Ling.

"Ummn!" with a bright blush on his face said in his nassal.

Both of them took the first step at the same time on the the stairs and then the second. The people from the beggar’s sect were stunned seeing them climbing up the stairways leading up the mountain, since being distracted and thinking about their accomodations they had failed to see the stairways that was right in front of them.

"Everyone let’s go up now!" Yue with a calm and relaxed expression said to the them and also began to climb up.

"Ahh! Nephew Yanzhi!" Suddenly a loud voice called out, but Yanzhi turned a deaf ear and continued to climb up.

"Aunty what is the matter? My master and mistress are tired from their journey and will not attend to anyone." Lin who had yet to go up stopped the approaching woman and said politely.

"No, no, no I don’t want to disturb the rest of nephew and his wife. I just wanted to ask whether their moving in today? Won’t they wait for an auspicious day before moving in and invite the elders to bless their home?" the elders nodded to her words.
