Su Qing walked down the Xiaoqingshan Dojo and returned to his home in the village.

He opened the rusty gate and walked in.

The small villa newly built last year has not been occupied for a long time and is now full of dead branches and fallen leaves.

Standing at the door, Su Qing stared blankly at the dead branches and leaves in the yard, his eyes a little dull.

He suddenly remembered a limerick he had seen on the Internet:

'The rusty lock on the broken door has not been opened for a long time, the gray brick path is covered with dry moss; the nameless dry grass invades the whole yard, and a bitter taste enters my throat; I suddenly remember the time when my parents were still alive, and they used to cook on the stove; I suddenly feel that I am alone now, and there is no one at home to confide my feelings; I have been wandering in a foreign land for decades, and I am a stranger when I return to my hometown; there is only a teaching stick behind the door, and no one to remind me to put on more clothes in the cold weather.'

As his cultivation level increased, his state of mind became increasingly cold and indifferent, as if he had turned into a machine that only knew how to cultivate.

After becoming an immortal, he rarely left the Xiaoqingshan Taoist temple and never returned to the courtyard.

He hadn't even returned to the house in the county town for a long time.

"Fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise, I would have become more and more obsessed with love."

During this life experience in a foreign world, Su Qing fully experienced the seven emotions and six desires of the human world and found himself again.

His state of mind became more and more peaceful, no longer as arrogant as before, and it perfectly matched his current strength.

"call"

Thinking of this, Su Qing let out a light breath.

A gentle breeze blew, picking up all the dead branches and leaves in the yard and blowing them away into dust.

Another golden light spread, and the whole courtyard looked brand new, returning to the time when it was first renovated.

"Hey? Ah Qing? Are you coming down the mountain?"

A man walked in from outside the yard and said in surprise.

"Grandpa Youfu, you are getting younger and younger."

Su Qing turned around and saw the person coming. A smile appeared on his face and he went to greet him.

"Ah Qing you"

Looking at Su Qing, who was smiling and friendly, Su Youfu felt a little dazed.

He hadn't seen a smile on Su Qing's face for a long time, or rather, he hadn't seen Su Qing for a long time.

It was during the clan’s ancestral worship ceremony in December last year that Su Qing went down the mountain. He came and left in a hurry.

At that time, Su Qing seemed like an immortal who was detached from the world, making people stay away from him and unable to get close to him.

Is this the price of cultivating immortality? Having immortality but no human touch? Su Youfu couldn't help but ask, if this is true, then it's better not to cultivate immortality! Now, looking at Su Qing with a smile on his face, Su Youfu knew that the old Ah Qing was back!

"Grandpa Youfu, I'm back!"

Su Qing nodded slightly, as if responding to his guess, and replied softly.

"Okay, I knew you would come back."

Su Youfu couldn't help but burst into tears and cheered loudly.

"Come on, let's go in and talk. Grandpa Youfu, tell me about the village. I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know how the village has changed."

Pulling Su Youfu into the house, Su Qing took out a cigarette from the drawer of the coffee table in the living room, opened it, handed one to Su Youfu, and brewed a pot of spiritual tea.

The two of them smoked, drank tea and talked about the trivialities of life in the village.

Not long after, the village elders also got the news and came over, making Su Qing's home even more lively.

The long absence from the secular world made Su Qing more human and his mentality became younger.

Near noon, he went to the town to buy a lot of vegetables, cooked them himself, and treated the village chief and elders to a meal.

In the afternoon, Su Qing locked the gate and drove the Mercedes-Benz MPV that had been parked for more than half a year to the county.

When I returned to Room 302, Unit 2, Building 27, Xiangshan Tingyu Community, needless to say, the house was covered with a thick layer of dust.

He had no choice but to clean the house, and after a while the house became spotless.

"Hey, Uncle Xiaolong, are you free tonight? Come over to my place for dinner."

Towards evening, Su Qing called her cousin Su Xiaolong.

"Ah Qing? Are you going down the mountain?"

Su Xiaolong on the phone was obviously surprised.

"Yes, I went back to the county and listened to the rain in Xiangshan."

Su Qing replied: "If you have time in the evening, bring Zi Han and Zi Chen over."

"Oh, okay, I got it, I'll definitely come."

Su Xiaolong responded repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, Su Qing ran to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables.

In the evening, when the lights were on and the neon lights were flickering, Su Xiaolong brought his two children into the house.

Looking at the table full of wine and delicious food, Su Xiaolong was even more shocked.

"Uncle Xiaolong, come in quickly. Zi Han and Zi Chen, change your shoes quickly."

Su Qing invited them into the house and took them to sit at the dining table.

"Brother Qing!"

Su Zihan and Su Zichen quickly greeted and responded.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time and they felt as if they were in a different world.

"Ah Qing, do you have something to tell me?"

Looking at the amiable Su Qing, Su Xiaolong felt quite uneasy.

Like Su Youfu, he hadn't seen his nephew for a long time since Su Qing became an immortal.

Now that he was invited to dinner out of the blue, Su Xiaolong couldn't help wondering, could it be that Ah Qing was leaving? "Let's eat first and talk while we eat. Zi Han and Zi Chen, you guys are welcome."

Su Qing invited them to start eating and explained, "Do you think I was becoming more and more unkind? I went astray in my cultivation, but now I am back on the right path."

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

Su Xiaolong didn't know how impressive it was, but he felt very happy.

"Brother Qing, were you too forgetful before?"

Su Zihan asked.

"That's not the case. It's just that my cultivation level improved too quickly before, and my state of mind couldn't keep up, so it became more and more indifferent."

Su Qing shook his head and explained, "Fortunately, I woke up in time, went to another world to experience life, and corrected the detour."

"Brother Qing, what is your current strength? Can you tell me?"

Su Zichen asked curiously while biting a chicken leg.

“I was only one step away from achieving Daluo Dao. It was precisely because I couldn’t break through for a long time that I realized that there was something wrong with my state of mind.”

Su Qing replied, touching his little head.

Hiss! Daluo! The three of Su Xiaolong took a deep breath and contributed to global warming.

They are no longer the novices they were before, and they have a clear understanding of the different levels of cultivation.

Starting from ordinary people's practice, the mortal realm is divided into levels 1-9, and the last 10 levels are the fairyland.

The fairyland is divided into 10th-level true immortals, 11th-level celestial immortals, 12th-level mysterious immortals, 13th-level golden immortals, 14th-level Taiyi, 15th-level Daluo, 16th-level Hunyuan Daluo, and 17th-level Hunyuan Wuji.

About half a year ago, Su Qing officially announced to the world that he had been promoted to the 10th-level True Immortal.

Unexpectedly, such a short time has passed and he has already entered the 14th level Taiyi realm and is about to achieve the 15th level Daluo.

It's not just that the cultivation level is improving too fast, it's even faster than riding a rocket!

In less than a year, he had completed a journey that most monks could not complete in their entire lives! It was outrageous!

Seeing that the three men had shocked and dazed expressions on their faces and hadn't come back to their senses for a long time, Su Qing hurriedly greeted them.

"Brother Qing, you are really awesome."

Su Zichen came back to his senses and cheered with admiration on his face.

"Brother Qing 666!"

Su Zihan's face was also full of admiration.

"Eat your food."

Su Qing waved his hand.

We had a meal and chatted for two hours.

After dinner we sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting for another hour.

They talked about their recent situation. Su Xiaolong was transferred to a county-level city to teach this year and also served as the director of education. He was highly valued by the principal and leaders.

Su Zihan's grades are also good and he is expected to be admitted to a double first-class university in two months.

Su Zichen hasn't changed much, he is only in the fourth grade.

Su Qing had known about these situations for a long time, and she just heard them tell the story in person to deepen their feelings for each other.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening before Su Qing saw them off.

In the next few days, he resumed his previous routine, getting up at six in the morning and running for half an hour along the trail in the back mountain.

Come back, take a shower, have breakfast, read a book, write, draw, cook for yourself, and return to a normal life.

Sometimes I would go to Wang Jingui for tea and chat, or go fishing with old classmates, or invite Uncle Xiaolong and his family over for dinner.

His state of mind became more and more peaceful. He never forgot about gains and losses. He stopped practicing and no longer cared about when he could achieve enlightenment.

Time flies, and soon it is April 1, 2024.

Early in the morning, Su Qing woke up from his sleep, washed up, changed into sportswear and went out for a run.

By the time the sun rose, he had come back from running, finished his breakfast, and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Open the chat group and clock in first: [Ding! Clock in successful, points +10! ]

A line of light golden handwriting appeared, and 10 points were credited to the account.

Su Qing: "Good morning, everyone!"

Su Qing's expression remained calm. He opened the public chat box and greeted the group members.

Xie Lin: "If I remember correctly, it should be April on Earth right now, right?"

Fang Chang: "Does this mean that new group members are coming?"

Xiao Long Nu: "Good morning!"

Wang Mang: "Which wave of new group members is this?"

Wang Defa: "It's getting late. The sun is shining on our butts."

Seeing Su Qing come online, the group members also greeted him.

Su Qing: "Four Ghosts, you are not mistaken, today is indeed April 1, 2024, and the ninth group of members will join the group soon!"

After counting with his fingers, Su Qing replied.

Xie Lin: "I hope there will be more group members, and I hope they are from higher-level worlds."

Xiao Long Nu: "I hope there will be more girls. There are too few girls in our group."

Wang Mang: "What do you mean? Even if a girl joins the group, what do you want to do?"

Wang Defa: "It seems that the number of new members joining the group each time never exceeds four, right?"

Fang Chang: "I remember that when I joined the group, I was the only one there."

The group members were also talking about it, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of new members.

I don’t know how many members have joined the group this time, nor do I know where they are from.

Every time a new member joins the group, it’s like opening a blind box, which makes people look forward to it.

Su Qing: "Well, for the first time, there are only four of us, me, brother Xie Yuanshan, sister Xu Huaping, and brother Xiao Yichen. We are considered the oldest members of the group."

Su Qing: "The second time, there were two people, Qin Xiaoxian and Li Mingda; the third time, there were three people, Wang Sheng, Wang Xiaobao and his son, and Zhu Quan; the fourth time, there were four people, Jiang Sichen, Guo Daocheng, Wang Defa and Zhao Xiangyun."

Su Qing: "The fifth time, there were also four people, Zhao Ri, Xie Lin, Wang Xiaoer, and Li Shen. The sixth time, there was only Fang Chang."

Su Qing: "The seventh time was three people, Liang Yun, Ding Hongli and Zhu Youjian; the eighth time was two people, Wang Mang and Xiao Longnu."

After recalling for a while, Su Qing said slowly.

Before we knew it, the number of group members had reached 23.

Xie Lin: "Tsk tsk, thank goodness you still remember, Lao Cao."

Wang Defa: “Haha!”

Fang Chang: "I also don't understand why I am the only one in my group who joined the group."

Xiao Longnv: "Once new members come, we won't be newbies anymore, haha."

Wang Mang: "Ha, you still want to bully the newcomers?"

Seeing Su Qing reading out the list of new group members one by one, the group members were all amazed.

At this moment, several prompts popped up in the chat group:

【'Siheyuan He Daqing' joined the group chat. 】

【'Xianjian Liu Ahqi' joined the group chat. 】

【'Cyberram Povan' joined the group chat. 】

Speak of the devil and he will appear. As soon as the group members finished talking about the new members of this month, they arrived.

Su Qing: "@Siheyuan He Daqing, @Xianjian Liu Aqi, @Cyberland Bowan, welcome new members!"

Looking at the chat group prompt, Su Qing frowned.

There are only three new group members. Judging from their nicknames, their world levels are not high either.

Not to mention "He Daqing in Siheyuan", at first glance it is the period drama "Love in Siheyuan", also known as "Birds in Siheyuan".

'Legend of Sword and Fairy Liu Aqi' probably comes from the fairy tale drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Liu Aqi is another name for Liu Jinyuan, the weak scholar.

The other person named 'Cyberpunk' is quite interesting. This is the first time that the cyberpunk mechanical worldview appears in the group.

Xie Lin: "Ha, Siheyuan He Daqing? Wow, the wind from the Siheyuan actually blew into the chat group, how awesome!"

The TV series "Love in the Courtyard" was not very popular when it was first broadcast, but unexpectedly it became popular because of fan fiction online!

Xie Lin still remembered that when he was writing novels in his previous life, he had read no less than one hundred Siheyuan fan fictions.

There are so many things like 'The Sword Formation of the Immortal Emperor surrounded and killed the Thief of the Saint', 'I signed in at the Siheyuan', 'I drove a truck at the Siheyuan', etc.

Even an author friend of Xie Lin's had never been popular with his original fantasy novels, and his novels had average performance, earning only about four or five thousand yuan in royalties each month.

The friend who came later changed his career to writing Siheyuan fan fiction and actually made more than one million yuan a year.

According to that friend, his achievement is not unique, and there are many authors who make a lot of money by writing Siheyuan fan fiction.

When Xie Lin heard the news, he was really shocked. This was too outrageous!

It was from then on that he began to take the Siheyuan fan fiction theme seriously. Unexpectedly, he couldn't stop reading it once he started, and he read hundreds of books in a row.

After reading it, he finally understood why this subject matter was so popular and why it lasted for so long.

There is no other reason. The emotions, characters and plot of this subject matter are all there. As long as readers follow the plot, they will naturally feel involved.

In other words, writing Siheyuan fan fiction is much easier than writing original fiction. No wonder they can make a lot of money! (End of this chapter)
