Xu Jianguo could naturally sense the old Taoist's intentions, but the two were close friends regardless of age, so there was no need for him to express his gratitude; everything was self-explanatory.
After placing the offerings he had prepared in advance on the incense table, Xu Jianguo took out the best incense, lit it, distributed three sticks to each person, then bowed three times to the statues of the Three Pure Ones and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
After leaving the Sanqing Temple, the old Taoist priest led everyone to the backyard of the Taoist temple.
Everyone walked into the quiet room where the old Taoist priest lived. The room was very warm because there was a stove.
There was a slightly blackened copper kettle sitting on the stove, emitting steam.
On one side of the quiet room is a kang, and on the other side is a solid wooden platform with several cushions on it. On the white wall behind it is the word "Tao" written in cursive script.
Although the entire quiet room looks simple, it is exceptionally fresh and elegant, allowing people who stay here to calm down unconsciously.
After inviting Wen Sitian and the children to sit on the kang, the old Taoist priest prepared to make tea.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly stopped him, asked him to rest, and went back to work.
Everyone sat on the kang, drinking tea and chatting. In the middle, Xu Jianguo even went out to discuss things with the old Taoist priest.
What surprised Xu Jianguo was that the old man's skills had improved a lot, which made him sigh in his heart that hard work really pays off.
Looking at the old Taoist priest, and then looking at himself, it seemed that ever since he obtained the Taiqing Jue, Taiyi Youlong Zhendian and Guiyuan Miehun Zhang, he had only actively practiced them a few times. The rest of the time, he seemed to be relying on his old skills, or when the system struck him with lightning, the spiritual power in his body would start to circulate on its own.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to practice. It can be seen from the fact that he insists on morning exercises every day that Xu Jianguo is not a lazy person.
The main reason is that in the whole family, only he and Wenwen can practice, while Wen Sitian and the four girls cannot practice.
He didn't want Wen Sitian to leave decades later, leaving him alone in this world. This would be too painful for the rest of the people.
So he would rather grow old with Wen Sitian and live a plain life than live alone in the world.
Lunch and dinner were prepared by Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi.
After everyone gathered together and had a happy reunion dinner, Xu Jianguo prepared to leave with his wife and children.
Before leaving, he specifically asked the old Taoist priest whether he wanted to go back to Wuwei Temple.
Xuanjue thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I feel at ease knowing that Wuwei Temple is in your space. Qingyun Temple was founded by my master, so it's best for me to stay here. This will also be an explanation to him and my fellow apprentices."
"Okay then. If you ever want to go back, just tell Fu Bo and the others," said Xu Jianguo.
"Okay, I'm fine with that. Your people come every week anyway. I'll let them tell you if there's anything!" said the old Taoist priest.
Xu Jianguo nodded and didn't say anything else.
After everyone said goodbye to the old Taoist priest, they returned directly to the space.
After letting Wen Sitian and the children wash up first, Xu Jianguo returned to his home.
After asking Uncle Fu and learning that no one had called home, he felt relieved and returned to the space again.
…
Time flies, and it is already the Dragon Boat Festival in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there were less than three months left until Wensi's due date.
Seeing her belly growing bigger day by day, the smile on Xu Jianguo's face never faded
With the appearance of Xu Laosan's fetal movement, the family's after-dinner entertainment activities have long since changed from reading and jumping rope to staring at Wen Sitian's belly.
Even the most noisy Lele became much more stable after knowing that she was about to become a big sister.
Every time after dinner, the little girl would run to her mother and talk non-stop to her belly, telling her younger brother or sister whom she had never met about the interesting things that happened in kindergarten.
The little guy in Wen Sitian's belly was also very considerate. He would turn over from time to time to interact with her, running to the right and then to the left. It was very magical.
In addition to matters at home, it has been almost four months since the attacks on the ports of Magnesium and South Korea.
During this period, Xu Jianguo's space satellite had been paying attention to the movements of the Magnesium Army's Seventh Fleet and military bases in the Asia-Pacific region. However, what surprised him was that the Magnesians and South Koreans did not react at all. Instead, three aircraft carrier battle groups often roamed in the waters around the Soviet Union.
These fleets can be seen in waters such as the Arctic Ocean and the Bering Sea.
According to the information sent back by the space servants in Su Lian, Su Lian's intelligence agency has been secretly carrying out large-scale spy purges since March.
In this regard, Xu Jianguo speculated that the spies planted by the Magnesium Country and its allies in the Soviet Union have begun to move.
In addition to the movements of the Soviet Union, there was another thing that surprised Xu Jianguo. That was that after the attacks on New York Port and Fushan Port, the United States did not publicly question the suspicious countries such as Longxia and North Korea, but acted as if nothing had happened, and everything was the same as before.
Therefore, Xu Jianguo, the instigator of the whole thing, could not guess what the next plan of the Magnesium Country would be, and could only remain unchanged in the face of change.
In addition to monitoring the movements of the United States and South Korea, Xu Jianguo's Nightmare Plan is still proceeding in an orderly manner. So far, more than 80% of the underground spaces in Japan's cities have been filled with ordinary and catastrophic weapons.
According to Xu Jianguo's plan, after he has dealt with Japan, his next target will be South Korea, followed by Vietnam, Feilubin, Yinni and other Southeast Asian countries.
That day, not long after Xu Jianguo arrived at the institute, the phone on the desk rang.
He answered the phone and said "Hello", then Chen Jin's voice came from the receiver: "Jianguo, come to the West Hall!"
"Okay, Uncle Chen, I'll be there now!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jianguo drove out of Longke Institute and headed towards the Red Wall West Hall.
After entering the west office building, he came to Mr. Zhou's office with ease and met Chen Jin.
"Uncle Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xu Jianguo asked with a smile.
When Chen Jin saw Xu Jianguo coming, he stood up and said, "It seems to be about your college admission. The leader is waiting for you inside. Come in quickly!"
"Okay!"
After knocking on the door and getting the old man's permission, Xu Jianguo pushed the door open and walked in.
