Thirty years, for a mortal, is already nearly half a lifetime!
Xu Que stayed in this illusion. Even if the system had an automatic recovery function, it could not stop the passage of time.
After all, this recovery function only helps him regain his condition and health, but it will not help him regain his longevity!
Xu Que has been wandering around for several years since he came to the world of immortality!
But after thirty years of living as a mortal, his youthful and frivolous state of mind finally gradually matured.
As for the mature method, he could probably use a drone to observe the palace maids bathing and changing clothes, and he could already be calm and calm with no expression on his face!
…
However, in the secret room of Shuiyuan Kingdom's mysterious cave.
Everything Xu Que experienced only happened in a few hours!
Some scenes of his experience with Fairy Zixia are displayed on the ceiling of the secret room.
From the time they entered the secret realm to when Xu Que dominated the palace, several scenes flashed through the scene.
And in the last flash, thirty years have passed in the illusion.
Many monks were surprised and sighed.
"Oh, I didn't expect that in just a flash, the young hero of the Supreme Treasure has already entered middle age and no longer has the youthful and frivolous spirit of the past!"
"But it's also very weird! How on earth did he survive until now?"
"Do you even need to ask? If I had his strength, I would be able to survive!"
"That's right, just by looking at the steel monsters he created, let alone a mortal, even a monk in the Qi training stage would probably die if they faced them!"
"With those things, no matter how random he is in the illusion, no one can check and balance him!"
"It's just that I'm a little curious whether this guy really lost his memory!"
"Yes, logically speaking, if he loses his memory, there is no reason why he should still be so doting on the woman who entered the secret realm with him!"
"Well, although that woman is kind-hearted by nature, and even in terms of personality, she is completely more perfect than the little princess and the queen mother, but... her appearance is really unbearable to look at!"
"Before the two of them entered, it was obvious that they had a somewhat extraordinary relationship. Who would have ever thought of entering a secret realm? That boy was still obsessed with her. It's rare!"
"Is there really such true love in this world?"
"Hey, look, the screen flashes again!"
someone exclaimed.
Many monks looked up one after another.
Whoosh!
I saw the picture above the secret room, a white light flashed, and the scene in the picture changed again!
It can be seen that in this flash, decades have passed in the illusion!
Many monks were astonished. Xu Que, who appeared in the picture, turned out to be full of white hair!
And he is no longer in the palace, but living on a deserted mountaintop with a gray-haired old woman.
There are only traces of the two of them on the huge mountain peak!
Judging from her face, it is not difficult to tell that the white-haired old woman is the original Zixia Fairy!
At this moment, the old man Xu Que and Fairy Zixia are staying in a simple room, cooking dishes!
Zixia is already old, but she still works hard to hold the spatula and stir-fry the vegetables with her trembling arms.
The old man Xu Que shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "Ah Zi, after teaching you for so many years, why can't you make a perfect dish? Why don't you let me do it!"
"No, old man, please stop causing trouble here, I will cook a dish for you!" The old man Zixia was very stubborn, pushed Xu Que away, and continued to stir-fry vegetables!
However, she still failed. Unknowingly, the food in the pot had turned from green to burnt black, emitting an unpleasant smell.
Bang!
Zixia felt annoyed and threw the spatula back into the pot. With a trace of tears in her eyes, she rushed out of the door.
Xu Que smiled bitterly, took difficult steps, dragged his old body to the pot, turned off the fire, and then walked out of the door.
Zixia sat on the stone chair at the door, her back to him, sobbing silently, her lonely and pale back was really heartbreaking.
The elderly Xu Que walked over shakily, sat down next to her, and said with a wry smile: "Old woman, why are you doing this?"
Zixia leaned on Xu Que's shoulder, the backs of the two lonely old men were covered in dusk!
She said softly: "Old man, before the Queen Mother and the Princess passed away, they both cooked food for you, but I can't learn how to do it. I'm so useless!"
"How could it be? In my heart, you are the most powerful!"
"No, I know very well that I am really useless, and I also have this face...Old man, have you ever regretted being with me in this life?"
"Little fool, if I regret it, why would I move here with you to live in paradise just because you are tired of life in the palace?"
"Old and dishonest! Now that we are all old, we will never go back to those days!"
"Yes!" The old Xu Que looked at the sky and sighed deeply!
At this time, Zixia, who was leaning on his shoulder, asked softly: "Old man, have you ever regretted being with me in this life?"
"No, I'm face blind!"
She asked again: "Old man, have you ever regretted being with me in this life?"
"No, I just remember telling you back then that I would always be by your side!"
"Old man!"
"Um?"
"Have you ever regretted being with me in this life?"
"No! In fact, love doesn't matter beauty or ugliness, or age, it only matters a true heart! What's more, it's the same even if the lights are turned off!"
"Old man!"
"Um?"
"..."
She is tired!
After all, I couldn’t ask the next sentence!
He just lay quietly in Xu Que's arms and closed his eyes peacefully!
"Old woman!" Xu Que called softly, as if he had guessed the reason, his body trembled slightly, and he hugged her tightly!
"Old woman, don't sleep, I haven't eaten the food you cooked yet!"
"Azi, you may catch a cold if you sleep here. How about getting up?"
"Azi, wake up and let me sing your favorite song to you, okay?"
He asked so calmly, but the person in his arms could no longer answer him!
After a while, Xu Que began to hum softly...
"The past, the present, the past, never come again!"
"Red, fallen leaves, long buried in the dust!"
"The beginning and the end are always the same, unchanged!"
"You are wandering in the sky, beyond the white clouds!"
…
…
At this moment, seeing this scene, all the monks in the secret room of the cave were stunned!
The old back figures of Xu Que and Fairy Zixia made everyone feel sad!
A person who is old and forgetful will forget what he just asked after he said it!
Although he is old, he still maintains his original intention and takes the trouble to answer her repeated questions seriously and patiently. Every answer is so sincere!
Finally, she went.
In his arms, he left happily and peacefully!
The only thing that worries her is that she has never been able to cook a dish for him in her life!
Hold your hand and grow old together!
Holding my son's hand, what else can I ask for?
This kind of loving and ordinary life of growing old together is what many people dream of!
"It's so touching!" A young female monk had tears in her eyes!
When she was young, she had imagined that she could live this kind of old age life with a loved one!
"Alas, if you ask what love is in this world, it will tell you whether life and death are together!" Someone sighed, reciting a poem by Li Bai of the Bombing Sky Gang in the Imperial City of the Fire Nation!
Although everyone knew that all this was just an illusion, many people were filled with emotion after witnessing the two people going through this test!
What a rare true love!
"Boom——!"
At this time, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the illusion in the picture!
Everyone was startled, looked up, and were stunned.
In the illusion, countless mountain peaks and even the sky are slowly falling apart.
Xu Que is holding Zixia, and his two old bodies slowly become distorted in the picture!
Whoosh!
Finally, there was a flash of white light and the two people disappeared out of thin air!
Everything in the illusion also shattered like a mirror, scattered into a ball, until it turned into a ray of light, swept into the secret room, and returned to the feet of Xu Que and Zixia Fairy's real body!
The two stood in the secret room and slowly opened their eyes!
At that moment, their eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life and depth, even with a hint of confusion, as they looked at everything around them, and finally regained their clarity!
It turns out that one day in the world is like a mirror, and a hundred years in the illusion!
Xu Que and Fairy Zixia, after a lifetime, finally walked out of the formation and returned to their true bodies!
