ending)

In the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.

A flying boat was flying between the sky and the earth. Two Taoists in Taoist robes stood on the deck, looking at the earth, with clouds and mist blowing in their faces.

The two look alike. They are in their early twenties, wearing Taoist robes and carrying fairy swords. They are in their prime, with fluttering clothes. At first glance, they look like two brothers, but upon closer inspection, they are quite different.

One person is young and ignorant, full of curiosity about everything, while the other person has eyes that see through everything and returns to nature.

"It goes by so fast. I've been traveling around for a year without realizing it."

The young man's face was full of nostalgia.

They, father and son, carried three-foot swords in their backs and carried out justice for heaven. They once swept away the devil's cave in the depths of the northwest desert, they flew their swords to slay dragons in the flood-ravaged Nu River, they once walked in the countryside and saw evil gods oppressing good people.

He is kind to the people and upholds justice for the people; he once saw corrupt officials causing harm to a party. With the support of his father, he became angry and drew his sword to kill the corrupt officials.

This year's wandering experience was rich and exciting, and the experience of the world of mortals greatly sharpened his Taoist heart, causing him to undergo a transformation without knowing it.

While the young man was sighing, a three-inch radish appeared out of thin air. He looked at the young Taoist and said:

"Li Heng, we are having a lot of fun traveling around, why do you look so lost?"

"Little devil, mother is out of confinement."

The young man said and looked at his father:

"Father, are you and mother going to ascend?"

Chu Chen glanced at Chen Liheng and sighed in his heart.

Twenty years ago, Qingying gave birth to a son, but instead of following his surname of "Chu", he adopted the common surname of Chen and named him "Li Heng".

Heng is the name of the hexagram. Heng hexagram is the second hexagram in the lower chapter of the Book of Changes. The upper hexagram is earthquake, which is thunder. The lower hexagram is sunda. Sunda is wind. Wind and thunder agitate. The universe is always new. The sun and moon are in the sky and can shine for a long time.

, the four seasons change and it can be established over a long period of time. The sage stays in his way for a long time and the world is transformed into it. The establishment is not easy to change, so it is named "Liheng".

Twenty years passed quickly, and the crying baby grew into a handsome young man, who seemed to be in charge of his own business and had the ability to be self-reliant.

"Li Heng, do you want to stay in the human world and experience it, or follow us and ascend to the upper world?"

Chen Liheng was stunned:

"Father, after you and your mother ascend, can I still see you, or do you need me to ascend to the upper world to find you one day?"

"That's not necessary!"

Chu Chen shook his head and explained:

"In the Taoist sect, there is a magical power that can lead to the underworld, and the heavenly sect is unique. My father did not attain Taoism back then, but he also paid homage to the real immortals in the upper realm. Taking a step back, I said, your mother has now become an earthly immortal. When you return to the Qingchen Cave, will you still be able to do it?"

You can see us, but we can't go down to earth at will. You have to go alone in this mortal world."

Speaking of this, Chu Chen felt quite sad.

Speaking of which, he had perfected his merits twenty years ago, but he has yet to ascend.

Firstly, to accompany the child Chen Liheng as he grows up, and secondly, to wait for Qingying to attain enlightenment.

Although Qingying has the blood of a true dragon, it is easier than ordinary people to achieve enlightenment. However, it is not an easy task to achieve enlightenment. It will take hundreds of years at least. Therefore, the couple chose a compromise plan.

, let Qingying attain the Tao of Earth Immortality first.

In this way, although it is a bit of a waste of "Earth Immortal Dao Fruit" and a waste of natural resources, it is undoubtedly a "best of both worlds" solution for the couple.

If Qingying becomes an earthly immortal, she can not only follow Chu Chen to the upper realm, but also leave thoughts in the human world and check on her child at any time.

"It would be nice to see my parents!"

When Chen Liheng heard that he would still be able to see his parents at any time in the future, his dull mood suddenly disappeared, and his face was full of smiles:

"Father, I will stay in the human world to practice. After I attain enlightenment and become an immortal, I will go to heaven to find you!"

"Ambitious!"

Chu Chen patted Chen Liheng's shoulder and was very satisfied:

"Li Heng, your mother is waiting for you in Qingzhou. She is visiting friends for her father's sake and we say goodbye."

Chen Liheng nodded:

"Father, go ahead. Uncle Dali will accompany me."

"good!"

As he spoke, Chu Chen disappeared out of thin air.

Southwest border wilderness, Yizhou.

Twenty years ago, the Immortal Court of Heaven and the Demon Court went to war. After the fall of the Demonic Emperor of All Magic, the Demon Court was defeated like a mountain and was unable to recover. It existed in name only.

The Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty took advantage of the situation to expand its territory on a large scale, sweeping across the demon kingdom, cleaning out the demon caves, and saving all living beings in the world. Yizhou is the sixty-sixth state of the Celestial Dynasty, and it is a frontier prefecture and county that has been vigorously developed in recent years.

Yizhou Ghosts and Gods Division is in charge of the courtyard and study room.

Xu Ping was working on official documents at his desk, and the documents were rolling in front of him, and he was handling all the affairs of the state in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, he noticed something, stopped his ink pen, and a slight fluctuation appeared on his serious and rigid face:

"Disciple, are you here?"

"Master is indeed a third-level master with great supernatural powers. He is in charge of Yizhou. He has a pair of discerning eyes that can see all directions. Nothing can escape your eyes."

"Master, senior brother and I are back."

Chu Chen walked out from behind the study with the kid.

In fact, he has been here for a long time, but he has yet to show up. He and the kid quietly watched their master, Taoist Xu Ping, handle the official documents and scold Fang Qiu, feeling inexplicably peaceful in their hearts.

At that moment, whether it was him or the little kid, it seemed as if he had gone back to the time when he was still a Taoist boy who had just entered the Taoist sect. He followed his master, Taoist Xu Ping, to Xin'an County, Guangping County, Qingzhou to take office. At that time, the master, as the county governor, was like this.

Handling official documents meticulously, he and the kid were waiting in the backyard of the study.

"If you don't want to show up, I won't be able to find you."

Taoist priest Xu Ping pulled Chu Chen to sit down. Xu knew something, and he said with a leisurely expression:

"Disciple, is it almost time?"

"Well, Ying'er achieved the Earth Immortal Fruition not long ago."

Chu Chen nodded truthfully, then smiled and said:

"Master, do you want to ascend with me?"

"No need, I will practice my own martial arts as a master and become a god."

Taoist Master Xu Ping waved his hand, quite confident in his ascension to the gods. Over the years, he has reached the third level of Taoism, accumulated merits and deeds, and has a smooth path to immortality. He is not worried about his ascension to the gods.

"Too!"

Chu Chen nodded, not surprised at all by his master's decision.

Not only the master, but also the apprentice was reborn. Bai Qing, the fourth-level great supernatural power, has perfected it, and is approaching the third-level great supernatural power. Even the young apprentice Xiyun has also entered the great supernatural power for the first time. Each of them has a far-reaching path to immortality, and does not need his care. They rely on their own abilities.

You can ascend to become a god.

My elder sister Chen Wan and my younger brother Pengju are in a similar situation.

"Ahem~"

After Taoist Xu Pin finished speaking, he hesitated:

"Your master and master's uncle may have this need. They haven't broken through to the third level yet, and they don't have much merit in their bodies. There may be no way out."

"Master, it's a small matter. I will help my master, master and uncle to ascend."

Chu Chen nodded slightly and agreed.

On the day when an immortal attains enlightenment and ascends, he can take mortals to ascend to the upper realm, without occupying the quota of ascending to the gods in Dachang World.

"Master, senior brother Zhenqing, junior brother Hetong and the others, if they want to ascend to the upper world, that's fine. Master, you can ask them then. If they are willing, they can go to Qingzhou in a few days."

Taoist priest Xu Ping was slightly surprised:

"Zhenqing and the others can do it too? Disciple, are there enough places?"

"Of course it's enough."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, proudly saying:

"Master, my disciple is a great Luo Immortal. If the Jade Emperor gives me some thin noodles and more people, it won't be a problem."

Xu Ping was startled when he heard this:

"Disciple of Da Luo Immortal, you are a Da Luo Immortal!"

"Brother Chu, Xiucai, why do you have time to see me today?"

In a bamboo forest in Guangping County, Qingzhou, Chu Chen, Zhang Xiucai, and Huang Fugui raised their glasses, drank and talked, feeling endlessly happy, as if they were back when they first met.

For several days, Chu Chen took the kid around to visit relatives and friends.

I went to various places in Huangzhou County in the southwest to meet my disciples Guang Gengsheng, Chu Baiqing and Xiyun;
