On the Nihility Island, except for Jiang Tian who is still in retreat, the island is now bustling with lights and decorations.
Aunt Gu was also filled with joy, watching Xi'er and Huan'er commanding the thirty Bodhisattvas on the island, as well as the Silla maids and Kunlun slaves getting busy.
I am very busy cleaning and tidying up the island. I am very busy!
"Big guy! Hang the lantern this way!"
"Yes! Yes! No! No! Big guy! Move to the left!"
"Slow down! Come to the right! Passed! Passed!"
I saw Xi'er and Huan'er commanding a Kunlun slave with a burly appearance and black skin.
At this time, this Kunlun slave was standing on the shoulders of another Kunlun slave. Carefully, he was holding a red lantern with the word "福" in his hand, following the instructions of Xi'er and Huan'er.
, find a place to hang it.
"Xi'er! Huan'er! People have names, so don't give others nicknames casually in the future! Everyone is older than you two! That's right! Heijiu!"
At this time, Grandma Gu looked at Xi'er and Huan'er, busy directing the Kunlun slave, and said, a little rudely.
"Mommy! I'm not Heijiu, I'm Heiten. The one I'm stepping on below is Heijiu. It doesn't matter. Xi'er and Huan'er are used to joking with us, and the girls Xi'er and Huan'er usually treat us very well.
Very good, just like my family, but much better than before when we didn’t come here! I feel that calling me big is quite vivid! Hehe——"
I saw the Kunlun slave named Hei Shi holding a lantern in his hand, grinning happily and saying, very honest.
"Oh, that's right! I'm getting older! The most important thing is that you ten Kunlun slaves are so similar! It turns out they are Black Ten! Look at me, my old eyes are a bit dim!"
When Grandma Gu heard what Hei Shi said, she was slightly embarrassed, mainly because the skin color of these ten Kunlun slaves was the same. In fact, it was not just these ten Kunlun slaves, but also the other ten Bodhisattva Man and ten Silla
The maid looked at the appearance and saw that they were all roughly the same, so even though she recognized them, she couldn't tell them apart.
"It doesn't matter! Mom!"
The Kunlun slave named Hei Shi said with a smile, showing his white teeth.
"Hehe! Mommy is so old! Among my two sisters, Mommy will never grow old!"
Xi'er said with the same smile.
"Hehe! If grandma is not old, then she will become an immortal -" Aunt Gu looked at Xi'er and joked again, and said.
"No way! No way! My mother-in-law will always be so young in front of me and Xi'er. Xi'er and I will always be with you, grandma!"
At this time, when Huan'er heard what grandma said, she quickly came to the rescue and said.
"Yes! My sister is right, grandma will always be young. Grandma blames Xi'er for being stupid!"
When Xi'er heard what Sister Huan'er said, she quickly said to Grandma Gu with some self-reproach.
"Xi'er and Huan'er are both grandma's great treasures! How can I blame you! Haha——"
After Grandma Gu finished speaking, she said very happily.
While Xi'er, Huan'er and Grandma Gu were talking, Hei Shi had already hung up the big red lantern in his hand and said.
"Miss Xi'er! Look at the right position for hanging my lantern!"
"Um!"
After Xi'er's signal, Hei Shi jumped down from Hei Jiu's shoulders.
"Hey! Aunt Gu, Miss Xi'er, Miss Huan'er, I'm going to hang up another lantern! There are also other things to tidy up!"
After Hei Shi finished speaking, he and Hei Jiu carried the remaining red lights that had not been hung up and walked towards the other side.
"Mommy! How long do you think Brother Jiang Tian has been in seclusion for? Why is the retreat so long this time? Brother Jiang Tian didn't practice in seclusion for so long before!"
At this time, when Xi'er thought that she had not seen Jiang Tian yet, she happened to look in the direction of Jiang Tian's retreat and said.
"That's right! When Brother Jiang Tian was in seclusion in the past, he would come out every once in a while. This time it has been more than a year, and there is still no movement from the place where Brother Jiang Tian is in seclusion!"
Huan'er also followed Xi'er's gaze and looked at Jiang Tian's retreat.
"Haha! You should practice hard too! And in the recent period, I always feel that there are waves of spiritual power coming from the master. It seems that the master has gained a lot from this retreat."
"Golden elixir stage monks are not like you foundation-building stage monks. They can survive for a long time with the spiritual power in their bodies, and their lifespans are long. Some monks often go into seclusion for decades. It is possible that this is just over a year.
It’s not too long!”
"So Xi'er and Huan'er, you two should also practice hard and strive to become golden elixir stage monks as soon as possible. This will have a lot of benefits for you! You can also help the master!"
Grandma Gu thought of the several spiritual energy fluctuations that came from Jiang Tian a while ago, and then she began to educate Xi'er and Huan'er with sincere words.
"Hehe! My sister and I have been practicing very fast. You see, my sister and I have also entered the late stage of foundation building! And today is also the Chinese New Year. Isn't this for the festive atmosphere? It is the same on the island on weekdays.
It’s deserted, but I finally took advantage of the holiday to tidy it up! It’s just the right time for my sister and I to relax a bit!”
"Mommy! Xi'er promises that after the Chinese New Year, Xi'er promises to work harder to practice! Just like what you said, my sister and I will definitely enter the realm of the golden elixir as soon as possible and become Brother Jiang Tian's right-hand man in the future.
And from now on, we will take good care of you, grandma!"
At this time, when Xi'er heard that Nanny Gu was nagging again, she pouted her little mouth and muttered. As a result, Huan'er who happened to be next to her poked herself with her elbow. Only then did Xi'er react and then turned to face Gu.
Grandma said.
"Okay! Okay! I'll just stick with you two today! Have a good time today!"
At this time, Grandma Gu noticed this. After hearing Xi'er's assurance to her, she narrowed her eyes with a smile and said very kindly.
"Hehe! Mommy! It's the best for us!"
"Yes! Mammy! It's the best for us!"
At this time, Xi'er took the lead and ran over to Grandma Gu, hugging one of Grandma Gu's arms and saying the same thing with a sweet smile.
Then Huan'er also came to the other side of Grandma Gu with tacit understanding, smiled sweetly and spoke to Grandma Gu.
"Okay! Okay! You two little girls, you know that grandma is soft-hearted——"
Grandma Gu stroked Xi'er and Huan'er's hair very kindly, and said with great emotion.
"Nanny! My sister and I! Let's go see Hei Da, Cuijiao and Jin Yao and they are busy!"
Xi'er said after seeing that she had coaxed Grandma Gu.
"Okay! Okay! You go! Be careful--"
Just before Nanny Gu finished speaking, Xi'er and Huan'er let go of Nanny Gu's arms in a tacit understanding, and then walked towards the direction where Hei Shi and Hei Jiu had just gone, as if they were flying.
Grandma Gu looked at the scene between Xi'er and Huan'er and murmured.
"It would be great if these two little ladies knew my painstaking efforts! Especially this Xi'er——"
"Sister! Do you think I am smart? When I say this, look, grandma agreed so quickly!"
Xi'er and Huan'er walked in the direction of Heida, while speaking to Huan'er via voice transmission.
"You! You are so smart. Don't you think grandma can't see it?"
At this time, Huan'er heard her sister say this and really wanted to slap her on the forehead. Grandma Gu watched her and her sister grow up, how could she agree to it after her sister said this?
Ah! It’s just that Grandma Gu loves herself and her sister more!
"Then this-"
When Xi'er heard what her sister said, she didn't know what to say.
"Okay! Since grandma agreed, let's have some fun today. Just like you said, relax, but after you relax, you have to practice hard!"
At this time, Huan'er looked at her sister Xi'er and quoted what her sister had just said to Grandma Gu.
After so many years, after the death of their mother-in-law, Xi'er and Huan'er have really worked harder than before. These two people have entered the later stage of foundation building, which is the best testimony.
"Okay! Got it! Sister, do you think it's difficult to enter the Golden Elixir Stage?"
When Xi'er thought that the next realm was the Golden Elixir stage, and that she was about to start dealing with this realm, she asked her sister Huan'er.
"Is this one? It's not difficult, it's not easy! Look, brother Jiang Tian has also stepped into the realm of the golden elixir at a young age, and the beautiful sister Gan Ning a while ago has also stepped into the realm of the golden elixir.
There are not many monks in the elixir stage, but there are not many monks in the golden elixir stage! I heard that there are many monks in the late stage of foundation building who have never stepped into the golden elixir realm in their lives!"
"I mean Xi'er! Why did you ask that today? I feel that as long as we practice hard, we will definitely know it when we get to that point! If we practice hard, we will definitely be able to step into the realm of the golden elixir! Become a golden elixir
An early monk!"
When Huan'er heard her sister ask this question, she felt unsure, then she thought about it and said.
"Yeah! Got it! Sister!"
When Xi'er heard what her sister Huan'er said, she clenched her pink fist in her hand and seemed to know what her next step should be.
…
After Jiang Tian came out of the Yanling Cave, he discovered that there was a completely new change on the island, and the island had been carefully decorated at first glance.
Then as soon as the power of the soul was exerted, I felt that everyone on the island was happily busy, and immediately felt a little confused. Looking not far away, Xi'er and Huan'er seemed to be a little idle.
So he performed the Butterfly Dance in the Sky that he had newly comprehended, leaving a silver afterimage on the spot, directly in front of Xi'er and Huan'er, and shouted to them.
"Xi'er! Huan'er!"
"Brother Jiang Tian! You're finally out of seclusion! It's been a long time! Sister Huan'er and I were talking about you to my grandma just now!"
Xi'er suddenly saw a familiar figure and a familiar voice in front of her, so she said excitedly.
"Brother Jiang Tian!"
As soon as Huan'er saw a flash of silver light in front of her eyes, Jiang Tian appeared in front of her. She didn't lose her composure as much as Xi'er, but she was very surprised by the movement technique Jiang Tian had just performed.
"Haha! How long have I been in seclusion? And what day is it on the island today? It's so festive!"
After Jiang Tian came out of seclusion this time, he gained a lot and was in a good mood. He heard Xi'er say that he had been in seclusion for a long time and the changes on the island, and then he spoke out.
"It seems that Brother Jiang Tian, you have been in retreat for too long this time. You are so diligent that you have forgotten the time. Brother Jiang Tian, you have been in retreat for more than a year. Specifically, you have been in retreat this time.
It’s been one year, seven months and eight days!”
Upon hearing this, Xi'er quickly picked up her fingers, calculated and said.
"Also! Brother Jiang Tian! Today is the Chinese New Year! Everyone is busy hanging lanterns and posting Spring Festival couplets! Xi'er and I just watched the lanterns over there being hung up, and saw Heida and the others haven't come over to post the Spring Festival couplets yet!
So I’m getting ready to go take a look!”
At this time, Huan'er also explained why the island was decorated.
"A year, seven months and eight days, is that long?"
Jiang Tian couldn't believe it. He only felt that not much time had passed since he observed the immortal patterns on the immortal vines of the World Treasure Gourd. Who knew that one year, seven months and eight years had passed during this period of time to comprehend the immortal patterns?
I woke up and was very surprised.
Immediately after hearing about the Chinese New Year, no wonder after leaving customs today, I felt that the island had such a New Year flavor. It turned out that it was really the Chinese New Year.
"It turns out it's the Chinese New Year! Let's go! Let's go put up Spring Festival couplets!"
When Jiang Tian thought about posting Spring Festival couplets, he remembered that when he was young, he would post Spring Festival couplets with his brother and father during the Chinese New Year.
At this time, Hei Jiu and Hei Ten had already arrived in front of Hei Da, and these Kunlun slaves looked at the couplets on red spiritual paper in front of them, feeling a little dazed and dumbfounded.
"Heida! What to do with these things!"
"This - I don't know, but when I went to the market to buy these things, I heard the formation master selling these things there said that these red papers seemed to be able to be stuck on the door!"
"Look at the red paper and the words on it, they are emitting spiritual energy fluctuations, as if they are one body. I think it should be the same as the talisman, they are all stuck together, just like the talisman!"
"Okay! Then let's quickly stick these on the doors of each room!"
