Since the news of the destruction of the Buddhist chief pedestal spread throughout the outer hidden world, the major sects responded quickly. Most of them chose to open the sect protection array and try to minimize their sects' outings. They would also choose to let reliable forces such as Zhuguang Pavilion or Travel Sect handle some businesses that they want to hand over.

In this way, the entire outer hidden world became deserted in an instant.

But strangely, five years after the Buddhist general hall was destroyed, except for the news of collective migration of sects in the northern part of the Outer Hidden Realm from time to time, Zhongzhou and other areas of the Outer Hidden Realm did not exterminate the clan again.

Compared with the treacherous waves and clouds in the outer hidden world, Lin Qing’s five years in Linjia Village was peaceful and peaceful.

Lin Jue is old and Lin Qing takes care of her daily life. Therefore, Lin Qing will learn to cook various dishes according to Lin Jue's preferences. When Xuan Haoran's wife Lin Jiaqiu came to visit Lin Jue on behalf of his brother, Lin Hu, who is the current village chief of Lin Jiacun, Lin Qing had a great chat with her. In the end, Lin Jiaqiu also gave Lin Qing the recipe for the osmanthus crisps that Shi Wu gave to Xuan Haoran.

While Lin Qing was grateful, he used the above-mentioned production method to make the first batch of osmanthus crisps in September when the osmanthus flowers were in full bloom the following year.

After Lin Jue tasted it, he praised Lin Qing's craftsmanship as he got better and better. He said that the osmanthus is crispy, crispy, sweet and melted in his mouth. Even an old man like him whose teeth are almost gone can enjoy the delicious food.

After hearing this, Lin Qing specially sent a tray of cages to Xuan Haoran's family. Unexpectedly, before Xuan Haoran and Lin Jiaqiu had finished eating together, their five-year-old grandson had already finished eating a piece quickly and then lay on the tray and said that the rest were his. This made everyone, including Lin Qing, laugh.

Lin Qing then promised the child named Xuan Kuo that she would make two trays of osmanthus crisps for him when the osmanthus flowers bloom again next year.

Xuan Kuo naturally said nicely and called Aunt Lin Qing.

Time is quiet and it is another golden autumn. Lin Jue has reached the age of ninety-two. He looks older, but this natural old look makes him look particularly kind.

Whenever the sun is sunny, Lin Jue will ask Lin Qing to help him sit on the rocking chair in the yard for a while. He will happily shake the rocking chair while basking in the sun, thinking about the people and things in the past.

The sunshine in September was warm and pleasant. Lin Jue, who was almost asleep on the rocking chair, heard someone knocking outside the yard and said, "Old Lin clan, Xiao Kuoer is here to see you."

Lin Jue laughed and said in his old voice: "The door is not locked, come in."

Xuan Kuo, who walked into the yard, was carrying a pig's front hoof that had been cleaned up.

Seeing Xuan Kuo's hard work, Lin Jue estimated that the pig's trotter weighed at least twenty pounds. He couldn't help but get up and help Xuan Kuo carry it.

Lin Qing, dressed in blue, walked out of the room when she heard the movement outside. Over the years, although her appearance has not changed at all, her temperament has changed drastically from when she first came back. The coldness of keeping others away disappeared, and the more gentleness of being integrated into life.

Lin Qing's smile has also increased a lot in the past six years. When she saw Xuan Kuo holding the big pig's trotter so hard, she raised her fingers together, and Xuan Kuo immediately felt a light in her hand. Lin Qing chuckled and asked, "How could your grandparents let you come over with such a heavy pig's trotter alone?"

Xuan Kuo was amazed at Lin Qing's technique of taking objects from the sky, and saw her beautiful smile like a lotus from the water. Xuan Kuo was fascinated by it for a moment.

Lin Jue smelled a scent of osmanthus flowers. He looked at the cloth bag around Xuan Kuo's waist and said, "Xiao Kuoer, what else have you brought?"

Xuan Kuo came to his senses. He rubbed his arms and took off the cloth bag on his waist and handed it to Lin Qing: "Auntie Fairy, this is the osmanthus that I have picked for you to go to the entrance of Xuanjia Village."

Lin Qing did not take it directly, but said, "Didn't I tell you that I will pick it myself? You are only ten years old, and the two rows of osmanthus flowers at the entrance of Xuanjia Village are very good-growing, and you can't even reach it."

Xuan Kuo tiptoed and said, "Auntie Fairy, you also said I am ten years old! My grandfather told me that my grandfather Shi Wu, who is the same school as you, could defeat my uncle, Lin Bao, and Grandpa Timberwolf by himself when he was ten years old. I just went to pick osmanthus, which was not a difficult task."

Lin Qing heard Xuankuo mention Shi Wu's name, and her heart trembled slightly.

Xuan Kuo said curiously: "Auntie Fairy, is my Grandpa Shi Wu very powerful? I heard from my father that he had seen Grandpa Shi Wu flying in the air when he was a child."

Lin Qing's heart slowly calmed down, and she smiled and said, "Well! He is much better than me."

Maybe it was a preconceived concept. In Xuan Kuo's mind, his fairy aunt was the most powerful. He said to the point: "Don't say that fairy aunt, don't say that. You must be just as powerful as you, anyway, they are better than my uncle."

"Cough--" A cough sounded outside Lin Jue's yard, and the man said immediately, "You little bastard! Let you come and give Uncle Lin a pig's trotter to stew soup. You can do it, one bite is better than me, your butt is itchy, right?"

Lin Jue heard that this was Lin Hu's voice, and he smiled and said, "Xiaohu, Uncle Lin will not get up to greet you when he is old, come in quickly."

After hearing this, Lin Hu opened the yard gate and walked in. He bowed to Lin Jue first and said, "Lin Hu has seen the clan elder."

"Don't be so polite." Lin Jue turned to Lin Qing and said, "Qing'er, bring out a stool for Xiaohu and Xiaokuo'er."

Lin Qing did not go back to the house, but raised her spiritual power with one hand. The two underground plant rhizomes directly broke through the ground after her spiritual power was injected into it, forming two benches under her control. Although Lin Qing's cultivation has been stagnant in the late stage of the Golden Pill in recent years, she has become more and more skillful in using magic. She can perform some ordinary magic without pinching and chanting spells.

Lin Hu originally wanted to teach Xuan Kuo a few more words, but when he saw Lin Qing's magic, he thought of Shi Wu who defeated him at the age of ten. He felt that Xuan Kuo seemed to say nothing wrong.

Lin Qing said to Lin Hu and Xuan Kuo: "Brother Lin Hu, Kuo'er, you can sit here first, wait and stay for a meal together."

"OK!"

"No need to worry."

When Xuan Kuo responded happily, Lin Hu had already refused.

Lin Hu also whispered to Xuan Kuo: "I came here because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to carry the pig's trotters, and the other was because I didn't want you to disturb Uncle Lin's rest."

Xuan Kuo pouted aggrievedly as soon as he heard this.

Lin Jue on the recliner made the decision at this time and said, "Okay, I am the oldest here, you all listen to me. You all stay for dinner. After the meal, let Qing'er help us make osmanthus crisps."

"The best elder of Lin clan!" Xuan Kuo said, then went up and hugged Lin Jue.

Lin Jue was amused by him and said, "Okay, okay, where did you hear those stories about gods last time? Sit down quickly, otherwise I won't tell you."

When Xuan Kuo heard this, he sat obediently on the bench, and then he and Lin Hu were listening to Lin Jue telling them the grand occasion of the Moon Worshiping Palace Sect Competition.

Lin Qing was busy in the kitchen alone. Because Lin Jue was the clan of Linjia Village, he made many contributions to Linjia Village during his tenure as village chief, so Linjia Village would send rice, meat and vegetables to Lin Jue's family from the village granary every month. In addition to stewing the pig's trotter, Lin Qing also washed fresh vegetables, took out a large section of air-dried sausage and steamed it in a pot.

After Lin Qing finished cooking the food, Lin Jue happened to talk about the competition between Shi Wu and Nan Gongyan.

Lin Hu and Xuan Kuo were shocked by the battles of immortal magic described by Lin Jue, and they didn't even hear Lin Qing calling them to have a meal.

Seeing this, Lin Qing moved the table and stools from the kitchen. After serving two dishes and one soup to help them serve the rice, Lin Hu and the others sat on the table with unsatisfactory satisfaction.

Xuan Kuo still begged Lin Jue to talk after dinner.

Lin Jue was in a good mood today. He agreed with a smile when Lin Qing helped him over to the dining table.

Although Lin Qing has reached fasting, in order to make Lin Jue less lonely, she will accompany Lin Jue for every meal. She helped Lin Jue pick up a piece of stewed pork trotter and said, "Dad, this piece of meat is very crispy, you can just bite it."

Lin Jue, who had only six teeth left, nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about your father, please let Xiaohu and Xiaokuoer eat more."

Lin Hu picked up a piece of sausage and said, "Uncle Lin, we are eating it."

Lin Jue laughed and said nothing.

Xuan Kuo on the dining table was not as unruly as before. He carefully picked up the food, and even the rice grains that fell on the table would be picked up and eaten.

Lin Hu knew that his nephew Xuan Yuqiu had taken over Xuan Haoran's hunting team. He saw that Xuan Haoran and Lin Jiaqiu did not make Xuan Kuo arrogant and rude because of his intergenerational marriage. He touched Xuan Kuo's head with deep relief.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Kuo said in reverse and said Lin Hu: "Uncle, my grandparents said, "Why are you still doing it if you don't eat or sleep?"

Lin Hu smiled at the wrongdoing, "Okay, okay, this time I'm wrong, I'm going to have a meal."

Lin Jue was also very happy when he listened to Xuan Kuo's serious words.

The four of them finished the meal happily. Before Lin Qing could help Lin Jue, Xuan Kuo took the initiative to help Lin Jue and went to the rocking chair.

Lin Hu originally wanted to help Lin Qing wash dishes, but Lin Qing said that the visitor was a guest, so there was no reason to let the guest do it. So she used magic to lift the table and stool and went back to the kitchen.

Lin Hu sighed that the immortal art was really useful. He went over to the bench before and listened to Lin Jue continuing to tell the story of the Moon Worshiping Palace Sect Competition.

After washing the dishes, Lin Qing took out the bag of osmanthus that Xuan Kuo sent. She raised her left hand and fixed the osmanthus above the stove with spiritual power. Then she gently led her to take water from the water tank with her right hand to wash away the dust and impurities on the osmanthus. She swung her hands together, and the water containing the dust and impurities was injected into the kitchen floor.

Lin Qing first put the washed osmanthus flowers into the pot, and then ignited the firewood in the stove with his less skillful fire-driving technique.

After adding enough firewood, Lin Qing put rock candy in the pot and stir-fry the osmanthus sauce, while using spiritual power to control the size of the flame in the stove.

Every time Lin Qing makes osmanthus crisps, she sincerely admires Shi Wu. She feels that the golden dew and jade spirit meat and snow armor spirit soup must pay more attention to the heat. Shi Wu can not only make these two spiritual meals, but also make the effect of these two spiritual meals the best.

Lin Jue and the others smelled an attractive fragrance before afternoon when they were basking in the warm sun.

Lin Jue stopped telling, and he said to Xuan Kuo: "Little Kuoer, go and help the clan elder get a piece of osmanthus crisp. The clan elder is so greedy."

Xuan Kuo jumped off the bench as soon as he heard this, and almost staggered and fell.

Lin Hu frowned and said, "You are not more stable."

Xuan Kuo scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm not in a hurry to help the elders get the osmanthus crisps."

Xuan Kuo said and ran towards the kitchen to the east.

When Lin Jue saw Xuan Kuo leave, he said to Lin Hu with emotion: "Xiaohu, time flies so fast. Uncle Lin feels that you and Shi Wu Haoran have fought for Xiantao yesterday."

Lin Hu also smiled and said, "Yes, more than fifty years have passed in a flash."

Lin Jue took out a key from his arms and said, "I have been wondering from time to time over the years whether I have forgotten anything. It was not until a few days ago that when Ergou and Qing'er entered the immortal gate together, I said that I would help him take care of the house. Xiaohu, Uncle Lin is old, can you help Uncle Lin keep the key for Ergou? I don't want him to come back one day and see that his house is gone, so that Uncle Lin will not feel at ease even if he goes downstairs."

Lin Hu took the key and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, Xiaohu will look at Ergou's house carefully. Not only Xiaohu, but Xiaohu will pass on the key as the village chief behind Linjia Village."

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

At this time, Xuan Kuo came over with a plate of osmanthus crisps. He first picked up a piece and slapped it with his hands and said, "Old clan, this is baked by the fairy aunt, it's very hot. I'll fan you."

Lin Jue saw Xuan Kuo suffocating him vigorously, and he smiled and said, "It's almost OK. It's not like summer now. You will get cold after a while when you fan it like this."

After hearing this, Xuan Kuo handed Lin Jue the golden osmanthus crisp in his hand.

Lin Jue bit it gently in his mouth. The crisp and sweet taste and the osmanthus sauce flowing between his lips and teeth made him unable to help but close his eyes and recall it: "It's so delicious."

Lin Jue quickly finished eating a whole piece of osmanthus crispy. He leaned on the rocking chair and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "God has treated me really well. I am very happy to have you with you in the past six years. I really want Qing'er to do what she likes in the future, whether she practices or not, as long as she can live happily, that's enough, enough..."

Lin Qing came out of the kitchen with two tile cages when Lin Jue said the last sentence "It's enough".

When she handed the bins one by one to Lin Hu and Xuan Kuo, who were eating osmanthus crisps, she saw Lin Jue's rocking chair move slightly, but her eyes were closed. She said to Lin Jue: "Dad, it's cold to sleep outside, I'll help you in."

Xuan Kuo picked up another piece of sweet osmanthus crisps, which was already warm, and handed them over and said, "Old clan, you can have another piece. In the past years, you could eat three pieces in one breath."

Lin Jue didn't reply to their words, but just lay in the rocking chair with kind face and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Lin Qing and Lin Hu saw Lin Jue's abnormality. Lin Qing held Lin Jue's hand and injected it into Lin Jue's body with spiritual power, but found that he had lost his heartbeat. Lin Qing's mind was blank, and her tears slid down her cheeks. She stroked Lin Jue's hand and said, "Dad, you have a good sleep."

When Lin Hu heard Lin Qing's words, he remembered Lin Jue's previous explanation. He stopped Xuan Kuo, who was about to ask Lin Qing what happened: "Kuoer, go and call your great-grandfather and others to come over, and then say Uncle Lin Jue is gone."

Xuan Kuo also wanted to say that the Lin clan elder was not doing this for good, and where did he go. But when he saw Lin Hu's serious expression, he immediately put down the cage in his hand and ran to Lin Hu's house.
