Four hundred and ninetieth IX The White Clothes Guest
After autumn, as time goes by, the autumn harvest is almost coming to an end. The small mountain village before Jianzong has not suffered any natural disasters this year, so it can be regarded as a good year. The men living in the village have harvested this year.
After the rice was dried, it was packed into the barn. It looked like it would be enough for the whole next year, and there were even many wealthy barns. I was in a good mood, and then I dragged a bench to the front of the house and took it out for myself.
He put some cut tobacco into his pipe and started smoking dry tobacco.
But just as he was enjoying this rare free time in the smoke, the woman in the room came out, sat down next to her man somewhat gloomily, and turned her head to look at the mountains behind her from time to time.
How could a man not know what his mother-in-law was thinking, and said impatiently: "My son was not taken away, but he went there to practice swordsmanship. He will become a great great swordsman in the future. What are you worried about?"
The woman could still hold back her tears, but when her man said this, the tears in her eyes could no longer stop and kept falling, "I know, but I haven't seen him for a long time. He is here."
Whether he has enough to eat and whether he is happy or not, he... is just a child!"
The man took a few more puffs of dry cigarette, exhaled a large puff of smoke, and felt a little moved. He reached out and patted his mother-in-law on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much, you were
But he nodded, and that kid also wanted to go, so there’s no point in regretting it now.”
The woman nodded, but kept sobbing. There is no mother in the world who doesn't want her child to be successful, but no mother wants her child to be far away from her, living in the wind, drinking snow, and not knowing whether he is warm or cold.
The man thought for a while and asked softly: "How about I go to the back mountain over there tomorrow and ask the boy to come out and meet us? But I heard from the old people in the village that after going up the mountain, there will be a future.
But you may not recognize parents like us."
The woman was shocked and asked loudly: "Why didn't you tell me before?!"
The man looked at the woman, thought about it, took another puff of cigarette, and whispered: "Even if I told you at that time, you wouldn't stop him."
The woman froze on the spot, but soon nodded dejectedly, "Yes."
The man also sighed and stopped talking.
"But you should have told me."
The woman glanced at the man with some complaints, but the emotion in her eyes quickly disappeared. She just looked at the mountain behind again and said with some expectation: "But that kid won't be so cruel, right?"
The man was about to speak, but his eyes widened again, because right in his sight, two figures, one large and one small, came down the back hill. He knew both of them. The older one, Ji Baili, happened to be his son.
Today's master is said to be a great man. As for that brat who has grown a lot, even though he hasn't seen him for a while, why can't he recognize that he is his son?
The two came here, and the child, who had already achieved some success in his studies and was carrying a flying sword on his back, knelt down with a plop and said, "The child has seen his father and mother!"
The woman burst into tears and hurriedly hugged her son, whom she had not seen for a long time. As for Ji Baili, he looked at the man with a smile. The sword cultivator who had heard the couple talking before shook his head and said: "Jian Zong and other monks
There is a difference. If you don’t teach your disciples to forget about the world of mortals, there is no reason to forget about the world of mortals when they are in the world of mortals. Don’t worry, brother.”
The man rubbed his hands in embarrassment, but soon shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why don't you go get some food? Why don't you let your son starve?!"
The woman wiped away her tears and quickly took her son back to the house.
The man patted the bench next to him and motioned for Ji Baili to come and sit here.
Ji Baili was not polite. After sitting down, he took the initiative to say: "Although Tianyuan misses you guys these days, sword training is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Especially now that he is still laying the foundation, so
We are destined to spend less time together and more separation, but I can promise my brother that we can see each other at least once a year."

The man laughed and said, "With these words from the Immortal Master, I feel a lot more at ease. If my mother-in-law hadn't been crying all day long, I would have just let this kid practice hard on the mountain."
Ji Baili smiled and said, "Brother, don't you want your son?"
When his thoughts were exposed, the man just smiled awkwardly, "How can I not think about it? It's more important whether my son can have a future."
Ji Baili said with a smile: "Actually, that's not necessarily the case. It means that my parents died early, otherwise I would have to go down the mountain from time to time in these years."
The man wondered: "Isn't the Immortal Master from our village?"
Ji Baili pointed to the east.
Only then did the man suddenly realize, "Old Ji, the village head, it turns out that the immortal master belongs to the old Ji family. Speaking of which, we are still somewhat related."
Ji Baili smiled and nodded: "I go home occasionally after going up the mountain. In fact, I have seen my brother a few times, but I haven't come up to bother him."
"Then you are not very young. You really have a lot of potential." The man sighed, "It's a pity that you are the only son, Lao Ji, otherwise the house wouldn't be in such a dilapidated state."
Ji Baili smiled and said softly: "How can I explain things in this world clearly?"
The man exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded.
Afterwards, the family and Ji Baili had a meal. After they were full, Tianyuan kowtowed to the couple again. Then he stood up and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, my son is going down the mountain to see the world."
The man looked at Ji Baili with some doubts, and the latter smiled calmly and said: "Although Jianzong has always been low-key, he should still be exposed to the world. Tianyuan is still young now, and it is time to broaden his horizons. Now I have the opportunity.
I took him around, but don’t worry, brother, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt him.”
Tian Yuan also smiled and said: "Master told me a lot of things, but no matter how much you talk, it's better to see it with your own eyes. This time I want to follow Master to the north. I heard that it snows there most of the time all year round."
The man smiled and nodded, "Snow, we haven't seen one in our place for several years. You might as well come back and tell your mother what it's like."
Ji Baili smiled and said nothing.
The woman had already begun to shed tears again.
But before she could speak, Tianyuan suddenly raised his head and pointed at the sky, "Look!"
The couple looked up at the same time, and even Ji Baili looked up as well.
In the sky, there were countless flying swords flying across the sky, flying towards the north, like meteors.
Ji Baili sighed with some regret: "After all, it is a competition between young people."
…
…
A girl dressed in white entered the divine capital alone and arrived at the largest majestic city in the world.
However, most of the guys who saw this majestic city for the first time had to be lost for a moment outside the city and marveled at how majestic the majestic city was. However, this girl didn't care at all. She just walked slowly into the city and quickly walked through the city.
The young girl came to the capital of the gods and stood quietly for a moment at the end of a long street full of vendors, as if she had thought of many things.
However, this stop seemed to only last for a moment. By the time the girl came to her senses, dusk had actually passed and the bright moon was high.
But fortunately, the city is too big and there are too many people. On weekdays, weird monks like this come into the city from time to time, so that when the girl stands beside the long street for a day, not many people are surprised. But now it is night,
There were fewer pedestrians on the street and it seemed much quieter. The girl looked up and quickly climbed up to a tall building, sat down on the top of the building and looked at the lights of thousands of houses in the city.
However, it only took a moment for the girl to feel a little bored. Instead, she raised her head and looked somewhere in the city. She seemed to be interested and started walking towards that direction.
There was no one around, and although the girl was not walking fast, she surprisingly made no sound.
Walking along the way, after hearing stories of family feuding from many nearby people's homes, the girl finally came to a red wall.
Then she jumped lightly and crossed the red wall. Then she picked a tall palace, came to the roof, and walked slowly across it.
This is the Daliang Imperial City.
But still no one could find this girl.
This is not an ordinary thing. The forbidden area of the imperial city is no longer what it used to be. It seems peaceful, but in fact, in this imperial city, not only are powerful monks from the Forgetting Realm stationed there, but there are also many hidden formations.
Law, let alone the terrifying Emperor Liang.
I'm afraid that even if you are an infatuated observer, it is not easy to enter this imperial city quietly.
But the girl seemed to be walking casually in the back garden of her home, and no one noticed her.
I don't know how long it took, but the girl came to the roof of a palace and sat down with her legs dangling in the air, staring at a room not far away.
That was the imperial study of Emperor Daliang, and it was brightly lit at the moment. His Majesty, the emperor, was crouching behind the desk, looking through the memorials that had been left unprocessed these days.
Li Heng stayed quietly on one side, closing his eyes and concentrating.
I don't know how much time had passed, but His Majesty the Emperor rubbed his brows and stood up. Li Heng understood and opened the door to the imperial study, intending to return to the palace with His Majesty the Emperor.
Having done this many times, he is naturally familiar with it.
However, Emperor Liang walked out of the imperial study and before he could even walk down the steps, he stood there, silent for a moment, and said softly: "Li Heng, go back and rest."
Although Li Heng felt a little strange, he didn't ask any more questions and quickly left on his own, leaving the Emperor alone.
After Li Heng left, His Majesty the Emperor slowly raised his head and happened to look at the girl in white sitting on the roof opposite.
The girl in white was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect that the middle-aged man in front of her could notice her existence.
But she didn't speak, she just looked at His Majesty the Emperor quietly.
The two looked at each other and remained silent.
No one expressed too much emotion.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said after a long time: "We have a guest, can you drink?"
The girl in white shook her head and said softly: "I don't like drinking."
