That cry of "Daddy" made Chu Yueshan's heart feel as if it was about to break.
He walked forward quickly with everyone else, and looked at Chu Qingxiao's blood-covered appearance. He was extremely anxious.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his son's face.
But when his hand touched Chu Qingxiao's cheek, it passed directly through his cheek.
Chu Yueshan blinked his eyes, feeling a little dazed, but he realized what he was doing the next moment.
He is dead……
His road has come to an end.
He could no longer wipe the stains off his son's face, hold an umbrella for him on rainy days, or comfort him with his own incorrect principles of life when he was sad.
He also...
I can no longer hug him, even if he is right in front of me.
Upon realizing this, Chu Yueshan's face instantly turned pale, and his upper and lower lips began to tremble.
Chu Qingxiao obviously also reacted. He looked at his father: "Dad..."
He opened his mouth to say something, but as soon as he spoke, a sweetness surged from his throat, and blood spurted out of his mouth the next moment.
His body softened and he immediately fell down.
"Great nephew!"
"Little bastard!" Sun Kuan and Chu Yueshan were shocked when they saw this. They hurried forward and stretched out their hands to support Chu Qingxiao.
But Chu Qingxiao's body passed through their hands and continued to fall to the ground.
Seeing that he was about to fall heavily to the ground, Chu Zhaozhao stretched out his hands at this moment and caught Chu Qingxiao instead of Sun Kuan and Chu Yueshan.
Chu Yueshan glanced at Chu Zhaozhao gratefully, but the next moment he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with my son?"
The people around him also gathered around at this time, looking nervously at Chu Qingxiao.
With a solemn expression, Chu Zhaozhao gently placed Chu Qingxiao on the ground, stretched out a hand and pressed it on Chu Qingxiao's wrist. He felt it slightly, and then his brows furrowed a little deeper.
"The power of Zhuyin's divine blood is too overbearing. Not to mention him, even a strong person in the Sixth or Seventh Realm will be counterattacked by the divine blood if he uses this taboo power, let alone him who has not yet entered the country.
Cultivation."
"It's incredible that he can persist for so long..." Chu Zhaozhao said with a calm face, his eyes slightly red.
Chu Yueshan and Sun Kuan suddenly felt something bad after hearing this. Sun Kuan hurriedly asked: "Then... what will... happen to my nephew?"
Chu Zhaozhao raised her head and glanced at everyone. Everyone's faces were anxious. She didn't know how to express what she said.
"Cough cough cough..." But at this moment, Chu Qingxiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly coughed.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly gathered around. Chu Yueshan looked at the blood that spilled out of Chu Qingxiao's mouth as he coughed, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood on his son's mouth, but his hand was in mid-air.
But it stopped.
He is a dead soul.
He couldn't help him.
Nothing could be done for him.
"Dad... I'm afraid I will be on the road with you soon." Chu Qingxiao looked at Chu Yueshan and said with some difficulty.
"Nonsense! You can't die!"
"You have to live well for me!"
"I, the old Chu family, are here to pass on the family line to you. If you are going to die, go to the foot of the spring. If your mother doesn't beat me to death..."
Chu Yueshan said loudly, his cheeks were red and he seemed a little angry, but as he spoke, there was a hint of crying in his voice, and he even started to swallow.
Chu Qingxiao, who was lying on the ground, looked at his father, smiled bitterly and whispered: "I'm afraid I'm powerless about this matter..."
"Cough cough cough!"
Before Chu Qingxiao finished speaking, he coughed again with blood gushing out from his mouth.
Chu Zhaozhao quickly stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of Chu Qingxiao's mouth, but the blood there kept pouring out. She just wiped it away, and Chu Qingxiao coughed out more blood from his mouth.
"Your internal organs have been eroded by the divine blood. You should speak less. Every move you make now will make your injuries worse." She said anxiously, and her hand that wanted to wipe away the blood from Chu Qingxiao was a little helpless.
In mid-air, I didn't know where to start.
"Haha... we are going to die anyway. If we die early, we might be able to stay with my father and the others. It would be too lonely to go alone."
"I...I don't want to be alone anymore..." Chu Qingxiao whispered angrily.
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned when she heard this, but the next moment she understood the other person's thoughts. In the past twelve years and countless reincarnations, he was the only one who knew the truth every time.
In Wuling City, thousands of houses were lit with lights, but he was always alone.
When Chu Zhaozhao, who already had tears in his eyes, heard this, he couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Chu Qingxiao turned his head with difficulty and slowly, looking at Chu Zhaozhao, with a smile on his pale face.
"Wang Che...did you see it?"
"There are girls crying for me, and they are very beautiful."
"I won."
When Wang Che, who was standing in the crowd, heard this, his eyes turned red, and he swallowed hard and said, "You're... awesome."
"Yeah." Chu Qingxiao nodded like this. The energy in his pupils began to fade, and it seemed that it would go out at any time.
Realizing this, Chu Zhaozhao quickly grabbed Chu Qingxiao's hand and said loudly: "Chu Qingxiao! You can't sleep! You can't!"
"Qingxiao!"
"Qingxiao!"
The people around him also gathered around at this time, their eyes were red and they shouted Chu Qingxiao's name loudly.
One sound after another.
They called the boy's name.
I want to keep him. To keep this young man who has spent twelve years saving them.
Save this young man who is the only one alive in Wuling City.
When the will of the dead souls gathered at that time, some kind of light seemed to light up in the dark.
It is faint but bright.
Hot and warm.
Everyone seemed to be aware of this abnormality. They looked around and saw red light spots lighting up within their bodies.
It is the divine power left by that demigod.
It was activated by Chu Qingxiao to purify the candle-yin aura in everyone's bodies.
It has been almost completely consumed, and only a little bit of it remains in everyone's body.
But as people called.
The god who looked after Wuling used his last strength to answer their prayers.
At this moment, Xingmo's light points overflowed from everyone's bodies, and one by one they condensed in front of Chu Qingxiao.
Although each particle of light is pitifully weak, when brought together, it still possesses a ray of divine power.
The moment the light spots gathered together, they trembled suddenly, and then poured into Chu Qingxiao's body under the surprised eyes of everyone.
Chu Qingxiao's body trembled as if he had been severely injured.
next moment.
The flower at his heart had completely turned into a black peach blossom mark, and gradually turned red as the light particles poured in.
However, the already thin power could not completely assimilate the mark. Only a few streaks of blood were dyed in the black peach blossom mark, intertwined with the black lines in the peach blossom mark.
The peach blossom mark full of lifeless energy, with the embellishment of a few wisps of red lines, actually gained a bit more life.
And with this change, the black blood vessels densely covering Chu Qingxiao's body began to disappear.
Chu Qingxiao's heartbeat, which had almost returned to stillness, now made a strong beating sound again.
Not only that, the injuries in his internal organs were also quickly repaired.
It was just a scene of ten breaths, under the nervous gaze of everyone.
call!
Chu Qingxiao suddenly let out a heavy breath from the tip of his nose, and his body suddenly sat up from the ground.
"Chu Qingxiao! Are you okay!?" Chu Zhaozhao said in surprise.
The people around him were also stunned, and the next moment the crowd burst into violent cheers.
Chu Qingxiao obviously didn't fully react. He looked at his hands and felt his body that was no longer in pain. After a while, he nodded blankly.
"It's that... old Taoist priest..." He murmured thoughtfully.
"Great! Little bastard!" Chu Qingxiao was still in a daze, and Chu Yueshan said loudly. With a smile on his face, he wanted to reach out and hug his son, but just like before, he could not help but hug his son from Chu Qingxiao's body.
Went through and missed.
But this time, Chu Yueshan no longer had the slightest trace of annoyance as before. He just scratched his head in embarrassment and turned around to look at Chu Qingxiao, his eyes still full of smiles.
For parents, nothing is more important than their children.
As long as their children are fine, they can instinctively ignore their own situation.
"Great! Nephew! You're okay!" Sun Kuan also said excitedly at this time.
Chu Qingxiao knew that he could escape this disaster only because the people in Wuling City had some thoughts and could get the response from the remaining will of the old Taoist priest who might have died.
He nodded towards everyone and was about to say thank you, but suddenly he found that everyone's bodies began to fade from their feet, and particles of light overflowed from their bodies and floated into the distance.
"This..." Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he saw this, and when the words of thanks came to his lips, they suddenly got stuck in his throat.
"Qingxiao, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world, it's time to say goodbye." Mr. Luo in the crowd smiled at Chu Qingxiao and said with one hand stretched out to hug the girl Xianling. At this moment, the girl Xianlin
He leaned into Luo Xianse's arms with a satisfied smile on his face.
After death, the soul of the deceased will go to the resting place and enter eternal sleep.
The souls of the dead may temporarily stay in the world because of their obsessions, but the place of rest is their destined destination.
For everyone in Wuling City, the only thing they care about in this world is Chu Qingxiao.
At this moment, Chu Qingxiao's crisis has been lifted, and their obsessions have been let go. The place of return begins to call, and their souls will be led there by the will of the underworld.
This is something irreversible.
Chu Qingxiao also realized this, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
"Nian Shuang, the surnamed Chu, will be left to you! You have to protect her!" Wang Che was the first to come forward. He said with a smile, then stretched out his hand and lightly hammered Chu Qingxiao's chest. Of course, that
As expected, the fist passed through Chu Qingxiao's body.
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, curled his lips and said: "It's a pity that I can't beat you again before leaving."
"Brother Qingxiao, I heard that the shortcakes in Wancheng in Muzhou are the most delicious in the world. If you have a chance, can you help me try them?" Liu Pei said with a childish voice. After saying this,
He seemed to have remembered something again, tilted his head and continued speaking seriously.
"When you are alone, if you are sad, bury your head in the quilt and think of happy things, and you will not be sad anymore. You have to take care of yourself!"
"Yes." Chu Qingxiao lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice. There was a cry in his voice that he tried hard to hide but could not hide.
"Qingxiao." At this time, Mr. Luo also walked up, with a warm smile on his face.
"I know that walking alone can be difficult and lonely."
"But sooner or later we will meet again at the place of resting. Don't be in such a hurry to see us."
"Live well, take our share with you, go see the world, whatever you do, we will watch you and accompany you."
"Even if you can't see us, you can't feel us."
"But we will always be there."
"I promise."
"Yes." Chu Qingxiao nodded vigorously, as if this was the only way to express his feelings better.
But in the dull response, the cry was a little heavier.
Everyone said goodbye one by one. Chu Yueshan and Sun Kuan looked at each other. At this time, the two men who had not dealt with each other for half their lives walked up to Chu Qingxiao together.
Chu Qingxiao raised his head and looked at the two of them. The tears in his eyes could no longer be contained. As soon as his nose became sore, the tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Dad...uncle..." he said, crying in his throat, but he couldn't say a decent word.
It was like waking up from a nightmare when I was a child, full of grievances and fears, but not knowing how to talk about it. I just wanted to throw myself into my father's arms and let him be coquettish.
"Little brat."
"You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself." Chu Yueshan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, tried hard to put on a not-so-good-looking smile on his face, and also tried hard to make the voice coming out of his mouth sound sound.
Calm enough.
As a father, he is the only thing he can do for Chu Qingxiao now.
Just use your own calmness to give him strength.
"Dad couldn't have stayed with you forever, but it was too early to say goodbye."
"But at least we can say goodbye properly, unlike your mother who left so suddenly."
Chu Qingxiao nodded vigorously, holding his thighs with both hands, trying to use the severe pain to stop the crying that was rising in his throat.
He wanted to calm down even a little bit and say goodbye to his father properly.
But he can't do it.
Every time he tried to raise his head, tears kept flowing.
Whenever he tried to open his mouth, all that came out was uncontrollable crying and swallowing.
He didn't want his father and uncle to still worry about him at the last moment, so he could only lower his head and try to cover up his emotions in this clumsy way.
"Grand nephew, if you can help yourself, don't drink. Don't think of me being a drunkard like your father and I."
"That thing can't solve your worries, it's just a trick to deceive yourself."
"And don't take any chances! Your uncle and I are in trouble here." Sun Kuan also stepped forward at this time and told him.
"If you encounter trouble outside in the future, don't be too stubborn. Just tolerate it if you can, and give in when you have to."
"If you can study, then study. If you really don't want to, don't force it."
"Dad, I hope you can be happier in the future. Find a virtuous girl, she doesn't have to be too beautiful, she just needs to be able to live like your mother." Chu Yueshan also took over the conversation and talked nonchalantly.
The two of them were talking to each other, as if they wanted to throw out everything they could think of at this moment.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Chu Qingxiao nodded hard, responding to his father's instructions.
"Qingxiao."
"We have to go." At this time, Chu Yueshan's voice came again.
Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao raised his head as if he was electrocuted, only to see that the bodies of Chu Yueshan, Sun Kuan, and everyone around them began to disappear at this moment, and light spots overflowed from their bodies and floated into the sky.
"Dad! Uncle!"
"Don't go!"
"Don't leave me alone..."
Chu Qingxiao panicked, he cried loudly and stretched out his hand to catch them.
But just when his hand touched it, everyone's figures disappeared into the light spots and dispersed towards the sky.
Chu Qingxiao stared blankly at the empty front, unable to find any trace of the people.
His heart seemed to be broken at that time, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and the tears that burst out of his eyes made the ground soaked.
He beat him hard with his fists. He hated himself for being so weak. In the end, he didn't have the courage to raise his head and say goodbye to his father and uncle.
Chu Zhaozhao stood next to Chu Qingxiao. She looked at the tearful young man in front of her, her eyes full of heartache, but she couldn't think of what words to say to comfort him.
She hesitated, suddenly felt something, raised her head and looked forward.
I saw the light spots transformed by everyone gathered together, floating in the ruined city of Wuling City. Wherever they passed, on the peach trees that grew again in the ruins, delicate and fiery peach blossoms bloomed among the branches and leaves.
.
For a moment, the ruins in front of you were filled with peach blossoms, and the whole city was actually red.
"Chu Qingxiao! Look!" She hurriedly said to Chu Qingxiao.
After hearing this, Chu Qingxiao also raised his head and took in a panoramic view of the city full of peach blossoms in full bloom.
His body trembled and his pupils suddenly dilated.
he knows.
This was the last gift given to him by everyone in Wuling City.
He stood up and wiped the tears on his face haphazardly.
Then, towards the direction where the dead souls dispersed, he used all his strength and shouted loudly at that time.
"father!"
"uncle!"
"Don't worry!"
"I will live well!"
"I will marry an eighth wife and have twenty fat boys!"
His voice echoed in the ruined city.
Vaguely, he seemed to see someone waving goodbye to him.
The young man was stunned for a moment, with the tears on his face still wet, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously.
