After leaving the Hall of Nothingness and coming out of Zhao Prison, it was already getting dark.
There were originally over a hundred Celestial Masters in the Celestial Master's Mansion, but only less than twenty were left alive.
The Red Willow Demon did not follow us out.
Before leaving, she told me that there were Liu Dong and his wife over there in the Gobi Desert, and she had nothing to worry about. It happened that the old beggar died, and she stayed in Tianshi Mansion to guard Zhao Prison.
Of course, she has the final say whether she wants to guard Zhao Prison or stay with Nanshan Shenjun.
"Zhao Yu usually has nothing to do. I will come to Jiangzhou to see you when I have time and take me to eat skewers." Hongliu Yao winked at me and said.
"A must!" I responded with a smile.
When we picked up the Fourth Uncle, Grandma and Fourteenth and coffin Xiaoen from the stone house, we did not see the girl named Zhang Yiqiu.
The fourth uncle and grandma said she left first.
He also told me that Zhang Yichou's life experience was very miserable. From the moment her mother was pregnant with her, endless hatred was instilled in her. However, the girl did not become a demon. On the contrary, she was a very tenacious person.
A kind and good girl.
Zhang Yichou is the apprentice of Grandpa Bai Qi.
As for Zhang Yichou's life experience, of course it is another story.
And Grandpa Bai Qi is indeed, as I thought, my fourth uncle and grandpa, and he and my fourth uncle and grandma have separated a long time ago.
Why, my fourth uncle and grandma didn’t tell me.
Zhou Ying detained his fourth uncle and grandma with the intention of threatening his fourth uncle and grandpa and asking him to help him find the legendary life and death order.
The fourth uncle's grandfather did not dare to see the fourth uncle's grandma, so he sent his apprentice Zhang Yichou to rescue the fourth uncle's grandma.
As for whether the legendary life and death order had been found, what it was used for, and where it was, Zhang Yichou did not tell his fourth uncle and grandma.
When leaving the Tianshi Mansion, Elder Hua stopped his father and said, "It is when the Tianshi Mansion needs people. Venerable Xiao, can you stay and take the place of the chief Tianshi?"
Dad glanced at Dongzi and said: "Dongzi has officially joined Tianshi Mansion. Tianshi Mansion also needs fresh blood. I am old and it is time to go home and enjoy family happiness!"
"What about Master Lu Tian?"
Elder Hua looked at Lu Xiaohong again, "Can Master Lu stay?"
"I'm married. My wife has opened a studio at home and needs help. I want to go back to Jiangzhou to help her."
Lu Xiaohong held my hand tightly: "Elder Hua, I'm sorry, if something happens in Jiangzhou, Tianshi Mansion can still contact us, and my husband and I will definitely not refuse!"
Early the next morning, after sending Ma Qiang and several other Celestial Masters who had already surrendered to Zhou Ying to a special prison, Dad and Lu Xiaohong handed over everything in the Celestial Master's Mansion overnight, without making any stop in Kyoto, and drove back.
Jiangzhou.
Dongzi stayed in Kyoto, and he and Lian Ruowei planned to hold a wedding on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
It's thirty years old.
When we returned to Jiangzhou, it was already evening.
Neon lights flashed on the streets, the red plum blossoms on both sides of the road were in full bloom, colored lights were hung on the trees, and a refreshing fragrance floated in the air.
It was exactly twelve o'clock when we passed by Yanjiang Street.
We caught up with the New Year's Eve Fireworks Festival in Jiangtan.
Fire trees and silver flowers illuminated the entire Jiangcheng, colorful purples and reds shone in the entire night sky, and the strong flavor of the New Year dissipated the fatigue along the way.
finally arrived at home.
It is a pity that the fourth uncle and grandma still returned to the underworld.
She and we are already in two different worlds, and she still has her own work down there.
Thousands of households exchange old talismans for new peaches every day.
Luo Yue hung red lanterns all over the yard, and the yard was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. Her family stood at the door with smiles to greet us.
There was another person standing next to her, and it was not Pluto Tu.
But a young woman.
I have seen her appearance countless times in my dreams, and it has been deeply engraved in my mind.
Mother!
Dad jumped out of the car and stood beside the car, barely able to move. He opened and closed his lips for a long time before finally making a sound.
"Shu Yun—is it really you?"
The voice is hoarse and more difficult to swallow.
"It's me!" Mom smiled lightly, stepped forward, and held my and dad's hands at the same time.
Her hands were cool, but not unreal.
It's not a spirit body, it's a real touch.
"You saved Yin Chai and destroyed the soul-melting demon. Pluto and Nanshan Shenjun used the peony sacred tree to reshape my soul and gave me three days."
Mom told me and dad with a smile.
Three days, although very short, is very rare and precious for people in the two worlds.
Lu Xiaohong and I decided to hold a wedding on the second day of the Lunar New Year while my mother was with us.
On the day of the wedding, many, many friends came, and Granny Epiphyllum also came from western Hunan. She finally walked out of Shouning Village.
She told me that her friend from back then was no longer alive, but he told her in a dream about my wedding to Lu Xiaohong and forgave her.
I vaguely guessed who that friend was, but Granny Epiphyllum and her friend didn't say anything, so I didn't ask any more questions.
The grudges back then are not something that a junior like me should ask about.
What's more, some grievances in the world are caused by misunderstandings. Let her let go of the past.
Gu Xiwen and Xia Xiaobei also came, and Xia Xiaobei secretly told me that Gu Xiwen finally accepted her.
I am sincerely happy for them.
Xia Xiaobei loved Gu Xiwen very much. She had a cheerful personality, like a little sun, which could warm Gu Xiwen's heart that had been soaked in the cold night.
Zhou Hui actually came from afar, and brought a beautiful girlfriend, a very gentle girl.
There is light in the girl's eyes, and only Zhou Hui. They are planning to hold a wedding on the Flower Festival in February.
At the banquet, Zhou Hui got drunk again and pulled Xia Xiaobei to sing "Friends" loudly. Gu Xiwen and the girl sat next to them and smiled lightly.
Finally, everyone has the best ending.
On the third day of the junior high school, mother and daughter Zhang Wenhong and Zhang Tingting arrived carrying a large bag of warm bread.
Mom and Zhang Wenhong hit it off immediately, chatted a lot in private, and even accepted Zhang Tingting as her goddaughter. They stayed at home to have dinner before sending them off.
When Zhang Wenhong left, her mother asked Zhang Wenhong to take care of her father.
On the night of the third grade of junior high school, we didn't sleep all night. We sat with my mother all night and talked all night.
At five o'clock in the morning on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the darkest hour before dawn, my father and I stood in the yard, watching my mother turn into a bright spot of light and slowly disappear into the darkness.
After the light spot completely disappeared, I threw myself into Lu Xiaohong's arms, and the tears I had been holding back all night finally burst out.
Dad silently turned around and went back to the bedroom. It wasn't until the next morning that Zhang Wenhong carried a large bag of freshly baked warm bread. Dad smelled the aroma of bread and left the bedroom.
In life, partings of one kind or another are inevitable. As long as we try hard to leave good memories, we will have fewer regrets and the melancholy after loss will be lighter.
