Dongqing enjoyed this meal very happily, but his mood was very complicated.
It is abnormal for an old man to have this kind of red face, because it represents a reflection of light in a certain sense.
Looking at the increasingly red face of Village Chief Jack, he felt sour in his heart. His slightly salty tears turned into seasoning and were quietly mixed into the white rice.
Three days later......
With a kind smile on his face and a body free from disease and pain, Village Chief Jack passed away from this world at the end of his life.
For this old man, he was actually very satisfied to see Dongqing again and see Dongqing still alive and healthy.
In fact, a long time ago, Village Chief Jack wanted to follow in his wife's footsteps, but he did not choose to leave this world because he couldn't bear to worry about Dong Qing.
For Mayor Jack.
The grandson grew up healthy and healthy. Now he can stand alone. At the same time, the path from Holy Soul Village to Notting City that he was thinking about has been built. There are no regrets in his life.
When a person has thoughts of death, he feels that there are no regrets in life.
Even though the thousand-year-old willow wood heart of the Immortal Spirit Plant has been nourishing his old body, it can't keep him from wanting to leave. He can't keep Village Chief Jack who feels that his life is complete.
actually........
If Dongqing really wants to stay, he may not be able to.
The worst he could do was forcefully invite Ye Ruyin, who was still angry with him, to come over. With her Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Spirit's ability, she could temporarily save Village Chief Jack's life.
But Dongqing was able to forcefully retain Village Chief Jack's people, but he was still unable to alleviate the loneliness of Village Chief Jack. This was not something that could be solved by having him by his side.
the reason is simple.
Village Chief Jack does not need the young eagle that has flown out to come back to accompany him, an old man who is about to die of old age. What he wants to do most is to go to the underworld to look for his former wife.
Now, he has seen Dongqing grow into a holy son of Wuhun Temple that everyone respects, and he has won tax exemption for Holy Soul Village. He really has no regrets in his life.
Even if Dongqing forcibly retains Village Chief Jack, it will only make him live alone for a few more years, looking at the sunset every day and silently thinking about his wife.
Loneliness is one of the most terrifying forces in the world. How many people, in order to get rid of that terrible feeling of loneliness, often act like idiots and cater to the people around them?
So what exactly is loneliness?
Loneliness is always a person's loneliness, no one can really feel the same.
Loneliness makes time become long, and long time makes loneliness gradually invade the bone marrow.
Loneliness is the normal state of life. There will always be a moment when loneliness comes suddenly. You can escape the night of drunkenness and singing, but you cannot escape the deserted streets.
The so-called loneliness means that there are people who have nothing to say, and at the same time, there are people who have nothing to say.
Throughout life, we always need companionship and encouragement, and we cannot really live like an isolated island.
There is a kind of loneliness, called the silence of the night.
There is a kind of loneliness called tossing and turning.
There is a kind of loneliness called biting cold.
When a person is extremely lonely, he will feel a biting cold feeling from the depths of his heart.
Searching and searching, deserted and deserted.
Miserable, miserable, miserable.

Timeline, Douluo Calendar, February 14, 2648, sunny day.
Notting City, Holy Soul Village.
Still under the towering tree, with the warm and comfortable sunshine above his head, a cute-looking boy was lying under the tree, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and staring blankly at the blue sky.
So far, three days have passed.
Dongqing still remembered that night, the last night of Village Chief Jack, when his old and cloudy eyes suddenly became bright, and his dark and deep gaze seemed to penetrate a whole world.
"Xiaoqing, your grandma has actually been waiting for me to go over and reunite with her."
"Grandma? Didn't she already..."
"She has been waiting for me where she was."
"Okay, grandpa, remember to say hello to grandma for me."
"Yes, although she has never met you Xiaoqing, she will definitely like Xiaoqing."
"It's better not to talk about this matter. It's as if grandpa is leaving. Grandpa, do you know? The road has been repaired and is paved with white, yellow and black cobblestones. It is very beautiful."
"Of course, that is the hope of our Holy Soul Village. Even if no one can leave the village in the next few decades, as long as this path remains, the village will still have hope."
Speaking of which.
Village Chief Jack clenched his withered hands, and his old pupils were filled with tears.
"But the village before..." Dong Qing said puzzledly.
The next second.
I saw a pair of slightly dry hands gently pressing on Dong Qing's head.
"Xiaoqing, you are still young, and you don't understand some of the world's ways. In the past, except for Su Yuntao, the deacon of Wuhun Hall, who was willing to come to the Holy Soul Village once a year to help school-age children awaken Wuhun for free, there is no one else.
The second outsider is willing to come to our remote village with no specialties."
"No way, apart from Brother Tao, there really wasn't a single outsider in our village before?"
"Basically not. Except for Tang Hao and Tang San, father and son, who chose to settle in the village a long time ago, it is normal for our village not to see a single stranger for several years."
"Grandpa, if you want more people in the village, I have a way to bring many people to the village!"
"Xiao Qing, it's better not to worry about it. In fact, the village is quite good now and it doesn't need so many outsiders."
"Okay, grandpa, I'll do whatever you want."
...
This night.
Dongqing seemed to have something, as if he had noticed something. He did not choose to go back to his room to sleep, but silently guarded the side of Village Chief Jack.
In the early morning of the next day, birds chirped. Dongqing looked at Village Chief Jack who left this world with a smile on his face. He stood there without saying a word.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The next time.
No sadness, no sadness, no crying.
Dongqing dealt with the funeral affairs of Village Chief Jack without expression, and at the same time buried him next to the grandma he had never seen before.
The Immortal Spiritual Plant Millennium Willow Heart Scepter Dongqing did not take it back, he was directly buried next to Village Chief Jack as a funerary object.
At the same time, Dongqing carved a poem on the tombstone of Village Chief Jack and his wife with his index finger. This was the last thing he could do for them.
[A poem for all the lovers in the world]
Ten years of life and death are boundless, without thinking and unforgettable. I am alone in a tomb thousands of miles away. There is no place to talk about desolation. Even if I meet, I would not recognize it. My face is covered with dust and my temples are like frost.
At night, I suddenly return to my hometown with a deep dream. They are dressing up outside the small xuan window. They look at each other without saying anything. Only a thousand tears can be shed. It is expected that the broken heart will be broken every year. On a bright moonlit night, there will be short pines.
.......
What Dongqing doesn't know is.
After he carved this poem, he had the huge power of faith due to the curse of purifying blood. At this moment, he seemed to feel the regret in his heart.
This power of faith, which is enough to make people become gods on the spot, turned into a rolling torrent, penetrated the endless space, and fished out a fragile shadow from the depths of the underworld.
As for the old shadow that had been staying next to Dong Qing, after he saw this fragile shadow with his own eyes, the originally floating shadow seemed to solidify a lot in an instant.
Their eyes met, and they quickly recognized each other.
"Old Jack, long time no see, that little boy is..."
"My grandson Dongqing!"
"Okay, I've only been away for twenty years, and you actually found another young and beautiful woman behind my back!"
"Old lady, what are you talking about here? Xiaoqing is a grandson, not a son."
"That's right, old Jack, I can't have children, I don't have a son at all, so where did your godson come from?"
"To be honest, I don't remember it clearly, but I remember that the sun was shining brightly that day, Xiao Qing was lying under a big tree, and there seemed to be a beautiful woman not far away, but when I got closer, I couldn't see her anymore.
She is nowhere to be seen."
This old shadow next to Dong Qing, and this fragile shadow, you and I seemed to be pouring out all the longing for decades.
But the dead creatures will eventually leave...
Even with the help of Dongqing's huge torrent of faith, they still cannot violate the laws of heaven and cannot stay in the human world forever.
Sensing the rejection of the two of them by heaven and earth, one was old and the other was a fragile shadow. They held hands and walked into the dark passage to the underworld together.
The underworld [the auxiliary plane jointly opened by the evil god king and the good god king husband and wife].
Countless souls pour into the underworld every day, and there is already a set of well-established operating rules that divide the fate of good and evil creatures.
.......
Time is passing slowly, and dusk has quietly arrived.
"Huhuhuhu" is the sound of the breeze gently blowing through the treetops.
Dongqing, who was lying under the towering tree, noticed a hint of cool breeze beside his ears, and then he unexpectedly discovered that he had actually been basking in the sun under the big tree for a whole day.
"Oh...why have I been so sentimental all day long!" Dong Qing shook his head helplessly.
The next moment.
A light blue space vortex opened on the spot, and he slowly entered his own little world.
As the master of Duntiansuo, Dongqing has a small world that he carries with him.
This small world is very special.
Unless Dongqing, the master of Duntiansuo, activates the guest privileges, any outside life that enters Duntiansuo will fall into a state of stagnant consciousness and senses.
However, if one day Dongqing becomes powerful enough and is no longer afraid of outsiders invading the world inside Duntiansuo, he can also enable fully open permissions.
After it is fully opened, the small world inside the Tissot will slowly give birth to a world full of vitality, a world with life.
certainly.
As the master of Duntiansuo, Dongqing still has the highest authority.
In this small world.
He is the way of heaven, he is the only one, he is the only creator, who he wants to die, who he wants to live...all kinds of things are just in his one thought.
And if you want to do these things, you must escape Tissot and recognize your master.
It is a pity that for such a powerful Duntian Shuttle, no one in the former Skyhorned Ant clan has recognized the Duntian Shuttle as its master, and they only regard it as a very worthless treasure.
But precisely because of this, it was useless for strong men, so they could only escape with the Duntian Shuttle. In the end, Dong Qing, the ninth pure-blooded Skyhorned Ant, was lucky enough to get it.
Of course, no matter how useless and impractical it is, the Duntian Shuttle is still a treasure. Except for Dong Qing, a pure-blooded horned ant, no one else is qualified to possess it.
If the foreign kings in the perfect world knew that the Duntian Shuttle was a treasure whose power was no less powerful than the bronze coffin of the third generation and the Great Luo Sword Fetus, they probably would not pursue the Immortal Sutra.
.....
Escape to the inner small world of Tissot, the White Jade Palace.
This palace is the only building that exists inside Duntiansuo. The entire palace is made of unknown white jade, and it is a palace building covering an area of one million square meters.
Standing at the main entrance of the palace and looking around, you can't see the end at all, you can only see rows of palaces.
However, even if a palace is large, it has to be numerous. This palace has a total of ninety-nine halls, including one dormitory hall, one Kung Fu Pavilion, and ninety-seven unused halls.
The dormitory hall is where the female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang suppressed her body. A transparent crystal coffin, together with her remaining soul, firmly suppressed this terrifying corpse that had lost the support of its soul.
The Kung Fu Pavilion contains many inheritances of Kung Fu techniques from the Sky-horned Ant clan and the Perfect World, inheritance of the Immortal Sutra, and treasure arts collected by the Sky-horned Ant clan. There are even many inheritances of Ten Evil-level treasures inside.
But this time.
Dong Qing was not interested in studying any magic skills. After quickly crossing the Kung Fu pavilion and entering the dormitory, he looked up at the transparent crystal coffin and walked slowly to the crystal coffin. The female Alicorn Ant Yuniang was meditating with her eyes closed.
He lay down next to him.
He rested his head on her thigh and fell asleep again.
This time, he slept soundly.
At this time, the female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang...she opened her eyes and glanced at Dong Qing, a hint of distress flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed Xiaoqing to come into contact with mortal beings. He is too emotional. This is not a good thing." The female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang thought to herself.
While she was meditating, a lotus lantern was suspended above her head. This was the lotus lantern owned by Dongqing.
The grade of the Lotus Lamp is indeed not as good as that of the Red Flag, but the various abilities it possesses are really powerful.
Not only does it have the ability to heal all injuries, it also has the ability to purify almost any curse, and to a certain extent, it can also restore a missing soul.
When the female Skyhorn Ant Yuniang and Dong Qing studied the Lotus Lamp together and found that it could restore the missing soul to a certain extent, Dong Qing instantly thought of the agreement he had made.
Three thousand years, the Immortal Sutra, as long as you practice the Immortal Sutra to the fifth level, you can reverse the boundary between life and death, help the female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang to reshape her soul, resurrect and fuse her body.
By then.
The female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang can be resurrected completely, and she no longer has to worry about the birth of a new consciousness from her corpse.
But now......
With the help of the lotus lantern,
Even if Dongqing's strength does not improve at all in the next three thousand years, the female Skyhorn Ant Yuniang will be restored to her complete soul by the Lotus Lamp's ability to repair missing souls fifteen hundred years later.
At that time, the female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang can also be resurrected completely. Of course, the premise of all this is that Dong Qing is willing to lend the lotus lantern to the female Alicorn Ant Yuniang for use.
After all, the supreme saint Nuwa designated Dongqing as the owner of the lotus lantern, not the goddess Yu Niang whose soul was so mutilated that she almost disappeared completely.
...
I don’t know how much time passed before Dong Qing slowly woke up.
He leaned into the arms of the female Sky Horn Ant Yu Niang and said with a choked voice: "Yu Niang, grandpa is really gone. I will never have a grandpa again."
"Don't worry, your grandfather left with no regrets. He left with his lover." The female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang gently patted Dong Qing's back.
Because of the powerful nature of the soul, even if the female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang only has a trace of her soul left, she can still show her physical shadow, allowing Dong Qing to truly touch her body.
If it were Village Chief Jack and the fragile soul phantom that came out of the underworld, let alone the materialized soul phantom, they wouldn't even be able to withstand the different rules of life and death in this world.
"Really?" Dong Qing raised her little face and asked.
He really didn't know that in the past few days, under the extreme sadness, his mind had been dizzy, and the huge mental power in his mind had completely turned into a ball of stagnant water.
Just because you don't cry doesn't mean you don't feel uncomfortable. Extreme sadness is completely impossible to cry out.
"Really, the old gentleman and his lover went hand in hand to where they wanted to go." The female Sky Horn Ant Yuniang stretched out her hand and hugged Dong Qing tightly into her arms.
"Yu Niang, tell me, if I don't come back..."
"Little fool, he is just a mortal with a limited lifespan. If you don't come back, you may not even see him for the last time. Do you want him to leave this world with regrets?"
"I do not want!"
"That's right. Like me, his biggest concern is you. As long as you are fine, he can naturally leave this world and find his former lover."
"Yu Niang? You won't leave me, will you?"
"You little fool, I don't know why you are so lucky. First, there was an unknown little red flag, and now a treasure like the lotus lantern recognizes you as its master..."
