After experiencing the battle of Tianxuan Sect, Qianyu became a celebrity. Although he did not contribute much in the battle, the fact that he swallowed two divine beads has long been known to everyone in the Southern Wilderness.
A big tree attracts wind, and being too famous will do all kinds of harm to Qianyu. It will create many invisible enemies for him.
Divine beads are fairy weapons, and Qianyu owns two of them. No matter which cultivator hears this, they will be jealous. As for whether they will come to Qianyu to ask for it, it is unknown.
Qianyu stayed in Qianyue Cave and spent half a month of peaceful and sweet time with Ling Yun. He was always wandering around and rarely enjoyed a peaceful life. He felt a little uncomfortable and always wanted to do something.
Liu Yiyi has not yet come out of her grief. She stays alone in her room without seeing anyone. Tianxuan Sect has become a place of sadness for her. Qianyu and others try to avoid talking about Nanhuang in front of her.
One day, a handsome young man came to Qianyue Cave. He looked eighteen or nineteen years old, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qian Yuying's. His name was Xu Qiuyu. He came specially to see Qianyu.
"Are you Uncle Qianyu?" Xu Qiuyu was very immature, and his voice was soft and friendly.
"Uncle?" Qianyu was very unfamiliar with this title. He looked at Xu Qiuyu and asked, "Is Yuying your mother?"
"Yeah." Xu Qiuyu nodded.
"Yuying's child is already so old." Qianyu was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that Yuying already had a child of her own.
Ling Yun was also very happy and said: "Qianyu, this is your sister's child? It looks very well-behaved."
"Yes, her child is so old and I don't have anything." Qianyu said with a smile.
"Is this my aunt? She's so beautiful." Xu Qiuyu glanced at Ling Yun shyly, lowered her head and said.
Ling Yun smiled happily, and Qian Yu said: "You can do it, you have such a sweet mouth. There should be many girls who like you."
"No, no." Xu Qiuyu denied with a smile.
"May I have your name?"
"Xu Qiuyu, my father's name is Duoqiu, and my mother's name is Qian Yuying. My name is composed of one character from each of their names."
"Interesting." Qianyu smiled happily, "If there is another child, wouldn't it be called Duoying?"
"Uncle is so awesome. This is my sister's name."
"Really?" Qianyu was surprised.
"Well, when I was fifteen, my mother gave birth to a younger sister, who is now four and a half years old."
"It's great to have both children." Qianyu couldn't help but feel a little envious. He looked at Ling Yun and joked: "Yun'er, when will you give me another child?"
"When do you want to give birth?" Ling Yun smiled.
"Is now okay?"
"There are children here..." Ling Yun was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, I'm not kidding anymore." Qianyu immediately regained his composure, "Qiu Yu, why did you come to Qianyue Cave to find me?"
"Grandpa passed away."
"Is his adopted father gone?" Qianyu was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this or that his adopted father would leave him.
"When did this happen?"
"About three days ago."
"Why are you telling me now?"
"Both my father and my mother have little cultivation. It took five or six days to get from Qingyan City to Qianyue Cave without stopping. I am the only cultivator in the family. I rushed all the way and it took me three days to get there.
To uncle."
"How could this happen..." Melancholy hit her heart, Qianyu couldn't believe this fact. "My adoptive father has always been in good health, how could he leave just as he said he was leaving?"
"Grandpa's health was not very good, especially when he entered his seventies. His health was getting worse day by day. He passed away less than half a year ago, three days ago." Xu Qiuyu said, tears already flowing down.
.
Qianyu didn't cry, but he felt like there was an empty space in his heart, and something disappeared from his body.
"Can I see my adoptive father for the last time when I go back now?"
"Probably not, today is the day of burial." Xu Qiuyu replied.
"Maybe it's still too late for me to go back now." Qianyu didn't care about anything. He pulled Ling Yun and Xu Qiuyu and flew all the way. It only took less than half a day to arrive at his hometown - Qingyan City.
Here he spent his childhood and became a teenager. Here are his happiest and best memories. Here are his youthful years.
He stood at the entrance of Qingyan City, looking at this small town that had not changed much, and was filled with emotion. He still remembered that he was sixteen years old when he left Qingyan City. But now that he has returned to Qingyan City, he has been three years old.
Seventeen years old.
A whole twenty-one years.
The layout of Qingyan City is no different from that of more than 20 years ago, with the same mottled city walls, the same low-rise houses, the same leisurely people, and the same ordinary atmosphere of life.
Everything seems to be the same as before, but Qianyu knows in his heart that everything in Qingyan City is completely different from before.
"Uncle, aunt, mother and father should still be in the back mountain. I will take you to meet them." Xu Qiuyu ran in with a big stride. He was familiar with the roads and could come and go in Qingyan City with ease. Qianyu and Ling Yun followed Xu Qiuyu.
Behind them, after a while, they arrived at the back mountain.
The so-called back mountain is actually a small slope. There are tombs and rows of tombstones on the slope. The breeze blows, bringing a cool breeze.
In front of a newly built tomb, a man and a woman wearing sackcloth and mourning were kneeling in front of the tombstone and sobbing. A four-and-a-half-year-old girl was dancing beside her. She danced happily and laughed happily. Her laughter filled the cold tomb.
Seems out of place.
"Brother!" When the little girl saw Xu Qiuyu, she immediately ran over excitedly. Xu Qiuyu hugged Duoying and shouted: "Dad, mother, uncle and aunt are here!"
Qian Yuying and Duo Qiu, who were crying, immediately raised their heads, wiped away their tears, stood up and looked at Qian Yu and Ling Yun.
Qian Yuying worked hard day and night, and her beauty was no longer there. There were wrinkles on her face and a few white hairs on her temples. Her originally slim figure was also a little fat. If she didn't look carefully, Qian Yu wouldn't be able to tell that this was his cousin.
.
Next to Qian Yuying, an ordinary-looking man smiled enthusiastically, showing a row of big white teeth. He was Yuying's husband, Duo Qiu.
Qian Yuying and Duo Qiu are younger than Qianyu and Lingyun, but they look much older than Qianyu and Lingyun.
"Brother Qianyu!"
Qian Yuying shed tears excitedly and shouted from a distance.
Hearing this familiar voice, Qianyu's eyes suddenly became moist, as if he had returned to the past. At that time, he was a high-spirited young man, and she was a lively and beautiful girl. Now, twenty-one years later, he still looks
Although she is a teenager, she is no longer young and her appearance is aging.
"Yuying, are you okay?" Qianyu turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then asked with a smile.
"Very good, how about you?" Qian Yuying laughed with tears streaming down her face.
"I'm fine too." Qianyu replied with a smile, Lingyun held his hand and smiled happily.
"Before leaving, father asked me to give this to you." Qian Yuying took out a tips bag and handed it to Qian Yu. After Qianyu took it, Qian Yuying said: "Father said this tip bag, when do you want to
You can open it."
Qianyu was not in a hurry to open it, he put the tips bag into the mustard bag.
When he came to Qianye's grave, he didn't feel too sad in his heart, because he knew very well that a mortal's life span would only last a hundred years, and birth, old age, illness, and death were normal.
"As long as life is long, there will always be separation from people." He said with emotion.
"Life is long, but there are also relatives." Qian Yuying expressed her opinion. Her rough hands were held together with Duo Qiu's thick hands. The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of tenderness. The love between them
Love is plain and simple, but it is filled with happiness.
Yes, even if you have to face life, old age, illness and death, at least you have your closest relatives around you, so you have nothing to fear. The life span of a cultivator can be as long as hundreds of years, and they are basically alone, spending those long years of cultivation alone.
Comparing the two, which one is the better way?
What is the meaning of spiritual practice...
Become stronger? How strong is enough to be considered strong?
Immortality? How long is a long life?
This is the never-ending problem.
Qianyu fell into deep thought.
"I heard from Qiu Yu that he is the only cultivator in the family?" Qianyu said.
"Qiu Yu has been envious of immortals since he was a child and loves to practice. We let nature take its course. He wants to go to Qianyue Cave to practice. In two months, there will be a selection for Qianyue Cave. I hope he can be selected." Duo Qiu said.
road.
"I can help."
"It depends on his own ability." Duo Qiu didn't want Xu Qiuyu to go through the back door.
Qianyu smiled and said, "Where's Duoying? Do you plan to let her practice?"
"When she is older, ask her what she wants to do. No matter what she chooses, we will support her," Qian Yuying said softly.
Qianyu has benefited a lot and feels that Qian Yuying’s educational methods are worth learning.
"Uncle, aunt, we planted a flowering tree in our yard. It was in bloom before I came. You should still be able to see it now. It's very beautiful. I'll take you to see it." Xu Qiuyu excitedly led the way and left.
In the back mountain, walk through several alleys, turn left after passing the main street, and you will find Qianfu.
Qianfu seems to be the same as before, the words on the plaque have faded, but have not been changed. Entering the mansion, there is an empty courtyard. There is indeed a flowering tree in the courtyard, but all the petals of this tree have fallen, leaving only bare
of tree trunk.
"I've only been away for three days, why have all the flowers fallen?" Xu Qiuyu was a little sad.
"The blooming period of the flowering trees is only two days, have you forgotten?" Duo Qiu reminded.
"It doesn't matter." Qianyu said. He knew that after the flowers fell, they would bloom again next year.
However, flowers will bloom again, and people will no longer be young.
