After working for more than half an hour, Jiang Xiaoyu took two steps back, looked at the newly erected tombstone in front of him and patted the soil on his hands.
The tombstone was engraved with the four neat characters "Xu Fu's Tomb". Below it, Jiang Xiaoyu specially engraved his name on it.
After kowtowing a few times, Jiang Xiaoyu took Lin Xiaowan to the small courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years.
Although there are only two rooms, the courtyard is very large. Most of the bamboo fence surrounding the courtyard has fallen down, and there is no courtyard gate. After all, he and Lao Xu were the only people who once lived on the floating island.
, it is really unnecessary to get out through the courtyard gate.
No one has taken care of it for three years, and the weeds in the small yard have long been infested by one person.
Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the fishing rod, and after a few sweeps with spiritual light, the whole yard was able to move a little bit.
"Is this where you live?" Lin Xiaowan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and asked.
"Yeah." Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, "Why, is it a bit crude compared to the Four Symbols Sect?"
Lin Xiaowan looked around, held her chin with her little hand, and said, "This place may look simple, but it always feels a little complicated!" As she said that, she looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with a pair of big watery eyes, and her mouth was still hanging.
With a smile.
"What's not simple?" Jiang Xiaoyu quickly looked around a few times, "Why didn't I notice?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's confused look, Lin Xiaowan covered her face with one hand, and the smile on her face seemed to grow stronger.
"That only shows that my taste is better than yours!"
After saying that, Lin Xiaowan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "Won't you take me in to take a look?"
"Take a look?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "The ash inside is probably more than a finger thick. If you don't mind it, just take a look."
"I don't mind it!" As she said this, Lin Xiaowan pulled a silk scarf from somewhere and covered her mouth and nose.
"Really want to see it?"
Lin Xiaowan nodded with certainty.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu walking forward, Lin Xiaowan suddenly grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu and handed him a silk scarf, "Why don't you cover it?"
Although the lingering fragrance on the silk scarf is refreshing, Jiang Xiaoyu still understands the principle of tasting only briefly.
He waved his hand, "No, no, am I still afraid of the dust? If you are, I will go in and clean it for you first!"
With that said, Jiang Xiaoyu walked inside.
Just when Jiang Xiaoyu walked under the eaves, suddenly, something seemed to fall above his head.
When he looked up, two houses that had been in disrepair suddenly fell down.
"boom..."
Smoke and dust were everywhere. If Jiang Xiaoyu hadn't been so advanced in cultivation and so fast, he would have turned into a clay figure.
Lin Xiaowan was naturally startled, but she recovered in a moment. But when she looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Xiaoyu had already appeared about ten steps behind her.
Lin Xiaowan patted the dust in front of her eyes and pouted, "Hey! You've gone too far, just look after yourself!"
"You...don't you cover your mouth and nose with a silk scarf?"
"I..." Lin Xiaowan was so angry that she was furious.
The smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and my vision was blurry for a while.
"Forget it, I won't joke with you anymore!" With that said, Jiang Xiaoyu waved one hand, and the smoke and dust in the sky disappeared instantly.
On the ground, broken mud bricks were swaying here and there, and the furnishings inside the house had long lost their complete shape.
The only thing that was intact was the thick beam. However, due to the collapse of the wall, the beam also fell down.
"What is that?" Lin Xiaowan pointed to the beams and said.
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyu looked in the direction of her finger and saw what seemed to be a letter on the beam.
For so many years, he and Lao Xu were the only ones on the floating island. Only after leaving the floating island did Jiang Xiaoyu know that there was such a thing as a letter.
Lin Xiaowan walked to the beam in two steps, picked up the letter, and then returned to Jiang Xiaoyu.
"Look!" Lin Xiaowan blew the remaining dust on the envelope and handed it to Jiang Xiaoyu.
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyu took the envelope and saw that there were a few large and not neat words written on the cover: Jiang Xiaoyu personally writes this.
"Is this really what Lao Xu left for me? When will he write letters again?"
With that said, Jiang Xiaoyu opened the envelope. Several pieces of letter paper were stacked together, and after opening the letter paper, a gray ring suddenly fell out.
"What is this?" Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the ring and looked at it. The ring was very simple, with only a crescent moon-shaped pattern on it.
Jiang Xiaoyu rubbed it a few more times with his hands. After he couldn't see anything strange, he put it into the ring space.
Opening the letter, Lin Xiaowan's head stretched out involuntarily.
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and glanced at her.
"Tch! No one wants to look like this!" Lin Xiaowan clapped her sleeves and ran out of the yard, "I'm going to see what's so good about your floating island!"
"You bastard, you're back!" The first sentence shocked Jiang Xiaoyu. Such a familiar tone suddenly made him a little distracted. The expression and tone of Lao Xu's words seemed to suddenly appear before his eyes.
A few simple words instantly pulled Jiang Xiaoyu into memories. For some reason, the feeling of longing for Lao Xu suddenly surged into his heart.
Jiang Xiaoyu felt an inexplicable loss in his heart. He did not feel this feeling very strongly when Lao Xu died.
But he didn't expect that today, three years later, Lao Xu's words would make him feel like this.
Jiang Xiaoyu sat down on the beam. After the "Bah" sound, his eyes began to look down.
"The fact that you can see this letter means that your kid is back again. Since your kid can come back, he must have some strength! After all, that old monster Qinglong is not so easy to get rid of."
"But Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Xiaoyu, do you know that once you appear in this place, your kid's happy days will probably come to an end!"
"The end?" Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. His happy days had come to an end after leaving the floating island.
"In this case, as an expert like me, Lao Xu, I will naturally give you some pointers."
"By the way, you probably haven't lost the things I left for you. They are all good things. If you lose them first, I will crawl out of the grave and crush you to death!"
"It's not lost. How could it be lost?" Jiang Xiaoyu muttered softly.
"The fishing boat and fishing rod I left for you must have been with me for the longest time. Back then, I was just lucky enough to encounter the sycamore tree where the Phoenix lives, so I gave him the tree directly.
My mother cut it down and made this fishing boat. I also picked up a feather from his nest, picked it clean, and now I have this fishing rod. Just tell me, I, old Xu, am not awesome!"
In fact, Jiang Xiaoyu has long known that the fishing boat and the fishing rod are extraordinary. At the foot of Longshan, after Qinglong personally said that the fishing boat was a Wutong boat, Jiang Xiaoyu had an idea. However, he never expected that this fishing boat
, is made of the sycamore tree where the real phoenix lives.
And this fishing rod, which can be long or short, is actually made of phoenix feathers.
"Old Xu, you are so awesome, are you really boasting?" Jiang Xiaoyu touched the fishing rod that suddenly appeared in his hand, then instantly put it back into the ring space and turned the letter to the next page.
“And the thing that has been with me the second longest is the fishing line and the fishhook.”
"Anyway, I can't remember exactly when it was. Anyway, at that time, my face was extremely high!"
"One time, I don't know what happened, but I wanted to eat some meat, and I happened to encounter a dragon. So, I ate it. After peeling the skin and eating the meat, I found that this guy was already heading towards the real thing.
The dragon has evolved. That’s why it has retained one of its claws and tendons that have the aura of a true dragon."
"Over the years, I really have to thank that dragon for not only satisfying my appetite at the time, but also helping me catch many big fish later on!"
"The fact that you are here means that you have met Qinglong. It's funny to think about it. That old guy is obviously an incredible being, but I didn't expect that he offended that powerful person, and ended up falling.
The fate of being sealed. Fortunately, I was not born in the same era as it, otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to touch its beard!"
