On New Year's Eve, Silkworm Emperor put down his work and came to meet Xiao Yu.
This New Year, Xiao Yu took a group photo with his family. It was also the first time he took a family photo with his family in so many years.
The only regret is that the mouse and the white cat did not arrive. Of course, they do not have the strength to pass through nothingness.
It was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that Xiao Yu sent away the guests one after another. Of course, he did not hesitate to give some ordinary elixirs to those guests who came from afar.
Although it cannot prolong life, it can ensure that they do not suffer from illness.
No matter how much money you have, it's all extraneous. Good health is the most important thing to everyone.
After the New Year, Xiao Yu did not immediately return to Xuantian Pavilion for retreat. Instead, he stayed at home with his parents and sometimes dealt with urgent matters from Lao Baifa.
The Exorcist Alliance also officially named Xiao Yu as the guardian elder of China, with the same status as the White Deer Immortal.
As spring passed and autumn came, Xiao Yu stayed in Shimo Village year after year, and apple blossoms bloomed one after another.
As time goes by, Xiao Yu's parents are getting older and older. Although their bodies are strong, their life span is getting shorter and shorter.
Xiao Yu's mother knits sweaters every day, knitting clothes for her grandson from the age of one to eight.
"Dad, take a rest."
In front of the house, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Qiang, who was still drying corn, and forced a smile on his face.
"Hey, I can't rest. It's going to rain again. If we don't let the sun shine, the corn will become moldy."
Xiao Qiang carried the corn from the inner room to the yard outside in one bamboo basket after another.
"Qiangzi, do you know how old you are this year?"
Grandpa Xiao Yu's reincarnated body has become a young man. Under Xiao Yu's encouragement, his cultivation has reached the fourth level of Dan Yi.
Grandpa Xiao Yu's physique has been improved by Xiao Yu since he was a child, so his physical fitness is stronger than others, and his cultivation speed is much faster. The other party is now also the elder of Xuantian Pavilion.
"Dad, I am seventy-six years old, what's wrong?"
Xiao Qiang asked puzzledly.
But as soon as the other party finished saying this, his face suddenly paused, and then he looked at Xiao Yu, his wife, and their two grandchildren.
Xiao Yu told him back then that when his life was about to end, seventy-six, it would be the year of his destiny.
“Time flies so fast, it’s over in a blink of an eye!
Although I have done nothing in my life, I have a good son.
Xiao Yu, dad knows."
Since three days ago, Xiao Qiang has been very puzzled as to why brother and sister Xiao Shaozhe came back suddenly.
And my own father, he also came here suddenly.
Now that he thought about it, he knew why he came back.
Xiao Yu looked at his father, with no pain on his face.
After cultivating to this state, he has become accustomed to this kind of behavior, so he doesn't feel any pain.
On the contrary, leaving is a new beginning.
His parents want to be ordinary people and don't want to be Taoist disciples. They don't want to live so long and watch their friends leave while they still live alone.
So Xiao Yu wants to fulfill them. He wants his parents to meet in the next life, and have children in groups, and have no worries about food and clothing.
"Grandpa, why don't you let my dad extend your life?"
Xiao Shaoqi stepped forward, whimpering with red eyes.
"No, even if my life span is increased, I won't be able to live to be a hundred years old!
And I have heard those Taoist priests say that extending life to mortals is equivalent to shortening one's own life.
After I leave, the only thing I can't worry about is your grandma, you should come back more often to spend time with her."
Xiao Qiang put down the corn in his hand and went to find Xiao Yu's mother.
Because they had already made their choice, they had nothing to fear. After all, they had already died.
"I'm going to take a shower, Xiao Yu. I'll leave the funeral arrangements to you. Don't let too many people know."
Xiao Qiang stepped forward, patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, and then went to the bathroom.
That night, Xiao Qiang sat on the bed wearing a shroud. He held Xiao Yu's hand and talked a lot.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiao Qiang fell asleep. He lay quietly in Xiao Yu's arms and left this world.
The family just looked at Xiao Qiang in Xiao Yu's arms quietly, without crying.
But Xiao Yu's mother, Xiao Xue, and Xiao Yu's two children all had red eyes.
"Mom, don't be sad."
"Well, Mom is not sad, Mom knows he is still here."
Xiao Yu's mother suppressed a smile, and then she began to comfort the two children.
"Get ready to report the funeral. I'll take care of the other matters."
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and pulled his father's eyebrows, and an illusory shadow flew out.
His father was a mortal, so his soul was very illusory. Xiao Yu's mother was the only one invisible in this room.
"Dad, from now on, you are dead.
I will give you a way to keep your soul in the human world, and when my mother's destiny comes, I will send you to reincarnate together."
Xiao Yu put his hand between Xiao Qiang's eyebrows, and a white light directly entered Xiao Qiang's soul.
Xiao Yu then took out another piece of white jade and handed it to his mother, asking her to keep it safely. Only by wearing this jade pendant could his mother see that his father was always around, but no one else could.
"Xiao Yu, is this safe?
Once your dad goes outside and is discovered by other Taoists, wouldn't he be made to suffer?"
Grandpa Xiao Yu frowned beside him.
"No, when those Taoists see my father's soul, they will definitely think it is an immortal and they will not dare to do anything to him.
Besides, I can still detect it even if I do it.
When the time comes, I will ask the ghosts and fairies to protect them closely to protect their safety."
Xiao Yu said extremely seriously.
Although he can now cast a spell to make his father's soul immediately reincarnate into a wealthy family, leaving his mother here alone will inevitably seem a bit lonely.
That's why he came up with this way to let his father's soul continue to stay here to accompany him.
After their destiny arrives, both of their souls have left their bodies. At that time, they no longer care about each other, and they will let go of many obsessions in their hearts after reincarnation.
"That's very good, then let's announce the death news to the outside world."
Xiao Shi nodded, then Xiao Yu picked up the phone, quickly edited a text message, and spread it among all his relatives and friends.
When people reach their old age, death does not bring much fear to them, but more of a relief.
Although Xiao Yu and the others now have a good Taoist status, Xiao Qiang and his wife feel a lot of pressure here.
It is precisely because of Xiao Yu's power that they have to be careful all the time, for fear of being kidnapped by bad guys again and causing trouble for Xiao Yu.
The funeral arrangements were very simple, and Xiao Yu did not notify too many people.
Three days later, Xiao Qiang's coffin was buried. From then on, Shimo Village was without Xiao Qiang. Xiao Shi lost his son, Xiao Yu's mother lost her husband, Xiao Yu lost her mother, and Xiao Shaozhe's brother and sister lost their grandfather.
After that, Xiao Yu disappeared from the eyes of the elders and disciples of Xuantian Pavilion, and never went back again.
