When Chu Xingyao heard this, his smile suddenly disappeared and returned to his previous cold expression.
With a crisp "pop" sound, Chu Xingyao reached out and slapped his palm, turned around and walked towards the inner room.
Li Qianmo looked at his hands blankly and said to himself blankly: "What does this mean?"
He turned around and saw Chu Xingyao entering his bedroom, and immediately got up and followed him. When he entered, he saw Chu Xingyao sitting on the bed playing with bamboo butterflies. Li Qianmo frowned when he saw this: "What are you doing?"
Chu Xingyao looked up at him, patted the bed and smiled lightly: "I'll sleep here tonight."
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, opened his eyes wide and asked: "Then where should I sleep?"
"As you wish." Chu Xingyao replied calmly and continued to play with the bamboo butterfly.
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "You don't want to live here too, do you?"
Chu Xingyao raised his head and said, "Why else do you think I'm here?"
When Li Qianmo heard this, he felt a headache. He was silent for a long time and said, "I am entering the mortal world, can you not affect me?"
Chu Xingyao played with the bamboo butterfly, without even raising his head, and said calmly: "Then I'll just enter the mortal world. I'll just seal my cultivation. It's too simple."
"You...are going to distract me!" Li Qianmo shouted angrily.
Chu Xingyao trembled when he heard the words. He raised his head and looked at Li Qianmo. There seemed to be something complex and indescribable in his eyes. After a long time, he said, "Are you upset because of me?"
Li Qianmo was shocked when he heard this, and quickly turned around to avoid her eyes. He was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, then waved helplessly: "Then do whatever you want, don't affect me." After that, he turned and walked out the door.
After he went out, he went to the street and went to a lumber shop to buy some wood. He brought it back on a cart and borrowed carpenter tools from Liu Daniu to build a bed in the house.
When Chu Xingyao heard the sound of sawing wood, he became curious. When he came out, he found Li Qianmo doing wood work and asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Being a bed, you are occupying my bed, so I can't sleep on the floor." Li Qianmo replied angrily. He now regarded himself as a mortal, and all his thoughts were based on a mortal's perspective.
Hearing this, Chu Xingyao bit his lower lip and cursed in his mind: "Mu Mu, didn't I tell you to sleep wherever you want?" The meaning of this sentence was very subtle, but Li Qianmo couldn't understand it. Even if he understood it, he
He wouldn't do that, otherwise Chu Xingyao wouldn't call him a piece of wood.
Li Qianmo built a small bed and added a small cubicle outside his room. It was only separated from the original room by a board. The new room was very small, only seven feet square. After putting down his bed, he could not even walk.
Disaster.
Everything was ready and it was already dark. Li Qianmo laid out the quilt on the new bed and got ready to sleep.
Chu Xingyao's voice suddenly came from the opposite room: "Hey, where have you been all these years?"
Li Qianmo lay on the bed with his hands on his head and said, "My eldest brother was killed. Bai Mu and I went to look for medicinal materials and refine a life-threatening elixir to save him."
"It's hard to find the ingredients for the Life-Destroying Pill, isn't it? Is it dangerous on the road?"
"It's very dangerous, and you will have a narrow escape from death."
…
Chu Xingyao kept asking questions, and Li Qianmo answered them one after another. The two chatted until almost dawn. Chu Xingyao finally showed mercy and stopped asking questions, and the two fell asleep quietly.
At noon the next day, Li Qianmo was still asleep, and Chu Xingyao had already woken up. She got up and sat by the bed, staring at the wallboard in a daze. She felt happy and sad in her heart. What she was happy about was that she could live under the same roof with Li Qianmo, a stranger.
All the good things seemed like a dream, but the sad thing was that even so, Li Qianmo was still unwilling to accept her, and remained indifferent to himself.
She was thinking wildly when someone suddenly knocked on the door, and a child's childish voice came from outside: "Uncle Li, my father asked you to go to dinner."
Chu Xingyao quickly got out of bed and went to the living room to open the door. Li Qianmo walked out of the room in a hurry. Seeing Chu Xingyao trying to open the door, he shouted in panic: "Don't open the door!"
With a "squeak" sound, Chu Xingyao ignored him and opened the door.
I saw a child with a bun in a bun standing in front of the door. He looked like he was seven or eight years old. He looked at Chu Xingyao with a stunned look on his face and blinked his big eyes. This was Hu Xuan, the son of the Hu San family.
"Auntie, who are you?" Hu Xuan asked blankly, blinking his big eyes.
When Chu Xingyao saw such a cute child, he immediately liked it. He knelt down and smiled: "I am your Uncle Li's friend."
"Oh~~Auntie, you are so beautiful, even more beautiful than my mother." Hu Xuan was simple and innocent, and said whatever he thought of, making Chu Xingyao very happy.
At this time, Li Qianmo came out with a sad face, and Hu Xuan quickly shouted: "Uncle, uncle, daddy asked you to come over for dinner."
Li Qianmo waved his hand and said, "Xuan'er, uncle won't go to your house for dinner today."
Hu Xuan said with a serious face: "No, dad said today is my mother's birthday, so I must ask my uncle to go to dinner."
"Ah, that's it." Li Qianmo frowned and looked at Chu Xingyao when he heard this, and said worriedly, "If you take her there, you will definitely be misunderstood. If you don't take her, it won't be good. It's hard to do.
Already."
Seeing his expression, Chu Xingyao had already guessed his scruples. He smiled secretly in his heart and asked Hu Xuan with a smile: "Xuan'er, will you welcome Auntie to your house for dinner?"
Hu Xuan clapped his hands repeatedly and shouted: "Welcome, welcome."
Chu Xingyao chuckled: "Then let's go." After that, he took Xiao Xuan'er's hand and walked towards his house.
Li Qianmo looked at Chu Xingyao's back and sighed helplessly: "This Chu Xingyao has become two people now, which is unpredictable."
After saying that, he quickly followed and came to Hu San's home with them.
As soon as they entered the door, Hu San and Mrs. Hu, who were preparing the food, were stunned. They had never seen such a fairy-like beauty like Chu Xingyao. They were both stunned.
"Who is this?" Hu San looked at Chu Xingyao a little confused.
Chu Xingyao said politely: "My name is Chu Xingyao, and I am Li Qianmo's friend."
"Oh, come and sit, come and sit." Hu San quickly invited the two of them to come in and sit down. Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao came into the room and sat down and started eating.
In the middle of the meal, Xiao Hu Xuan suddenly asked in a coquettish voice: "Aunt Chu, are you married to Uncle Li?"
"Pfft..." When Li Qianmo heard this, he spat out a mouthful of rice. He choked on the rice grains and coughed violently. Xiaoxuan's mother hurriedly went to get him some water to drink.
Chu Xingyao turned around and asked Xiaoxuan with a smile: "Xiaoxuan, why do you ask that?"
Xiaoxuan blinked and said, "Because you and Uncle Li live together. Xiaojuan from Zhendong said that only married men and women can be together, so she doesn't want to play with me anymore."
Li Qianmo was drinking water. Hearing this, he spat out a large mouthful of water again. He coughed even more violently, his face turned red, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
When Chu Xingyao heard this, he rolled his eyes, patted Xiaoxuan's head, and praised with a smile: "Xiaoxuan is so smart."
Hu San listened and couldn't help but murmured: "So you two are husband and wife, then I will call you Mrs. Li from now on." He said in his heart, "No wonder Brother Li didn't like those women in the past.
It turns out that she has a family, and she is such a beautiful lady, so how could those vulgar people fall into his eyes."
When Li Qianmo heard that Chu Xingyao actually acquiesced that she and he were husband and wife, he shouted "No" in a hurry, but he was so out of breath from coughing that he couldn't speak clearly.
Chu Xingyao came up and pulled him up, and apologized to Hu San: "I'm sorry, you two, my husband is not in good health, I helped him back first."
Mrs. Hu stood up and said, "Okay, let's go slowly and come back for dinner in the evening."
"I'll definitely come." Chu Xingyao smiled lightly and pulled Li Qianmo out.
Li Qianmo returned home and sat in the living room and coughed for a long time. Finally, he calmed down and glared at Chu Xingyao angrily, not knowing what to say.
Chu Xingyao's expression did not change, and he said with a smile: "What's wrong? Isn't this bad?"
"Of course it's not good!" Li Qianmo yelled angrily, "I knew you had no good intentions. This is only the first day, and you are talking nonsense and disturbing my Taoist mind!"
"How can I mess with your mind?" Chu Xingyao said, "You and I live together alone. If we say we are not husband and wife, I don't know how others will make irresponsible remarks."
Li Qianmo thought for a while and felt that what she said made sense. He suddenly felt confused. After frowning and thinking for a long time, he said helplessly: "Forget it this time, don't talk nonsense anymore."
"Yes, sir." Chu Xingyao smiled playfully and greeted him. Li Qianmo glared at her, and she hid in the room with a sly smile.
The news that Li Qianmo had a wife immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys, and even reached the city. Many wealthy people came to see what kind of woman could get into Li Qianmo's eyes. After seeing Chu Xingyao,
All those women left with their heads downcast and never came to Li Qianmo again. From then on, peace returned to Li Qianmo's house.
Years passed, and ten years passed quickly. Li Qianmo had entered middle age. Although Chu Xingyao was still beautiful, small wrinkles began to appear in the corners of her eyes, like fish tails.
Next door, Xiaoxuan and Xiaohu have grown into young men of sixteen or seventeen years old. Xiaohu learned carpentry from his father, while Xiaoxuan started making wine and selling wine with his father.
Looking at the young Xiaohu and Xiaoxuan, Li Qianmo couldn't help but think of his time in Xiaoyao Valley. At this age, he was still bullied and insulted by his fellow students. How angry he was in his heart, but when he got the blood beads
After breaking his body, he did not kill those who bullied him, but tolerated them again and again.
He was kind-hearted at first, and he had been taught by sages and sages in books since he was a child, so he didn't want to kill more evil people. But later, he finally discovered that the human heart is terrible, and the enemy will never stop because of your kindness.
It will boost the enemy's arrogance, making them become more aggressive and arrogant, so he gradually changes.
He is still very humble to his friends, but he has become ruthless and cold-blooded towards his enemies. The battle in Xiaoyao Valley is the best proof of this.
This winter was very cold. It snowed heavily for three days in a row. The streets in the town were covered with two to three feet of snow, making it impossible for people to go out.
Three days later, the snow finally melted. Li Qianmo went to visit Old Man Chen's house, but when he entered the house, he found that he was dead on the bed.
Old Chen was an orphan and had no children in his life. Li Qianmo had known him for ten years and became half teacher and half friend. He personally built a coffin to bury his body.
Looking at Old Man Chen lying peacefully in the coffin, Li Qianmo felt emotional again, secretly lamenting the ruthlessness of the years. He finally understood why people always imagined that there were all kinds of gods above the nine heavens, and the underworld under the underworld, and all kinds of ghosts and gods.
It is said that it is just the product of people's greed for life and hatred of death. Mortals are like this. They are attached to this colorful world and don't want to leave, so they weave various gods and goddesses to express their yearning for eternal life. In fact, how can they know that even if they travel across the universe?
The Taoist Master cannot withstand the ruthlessness of the years, and will eventually return to nothingness.
Time passed, and how many springs and autumns passed, Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao grew older year by year. Chu Xingyao's peerless appearance could not withstand the ravages of time, and finally turned into a gray-haired old woman, and Li Qianmo also became
An old man with white beard and hair.
Over the years, Mr. and Mrs. Hu San and Mr. and Mrs. Liu Daniu have passed away successively, one in midsummer and one in the cold winter. Hu Xuaner and Liu Xiaohu’s children are almost ten years old. These two middle-aged couples still cry.
I had to go to the funeral of my parents without a fuss.
Although Li Qianmo was very friendly with the two families, he did not go to see them off. Instead, he stayed at home and sat at the table in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Chu Xingyao sat there and looked at him quietly.
, but kept sighing in his heart: "This is all like a dream. I hope I will never wake up from this dream. It would be great if I could really grow old together with him and die peacefully."
The old people in the town died one after another, and gradually, only Li Qianmo and Chu Xingyao were left.
Although the two of them have sealed their cultivation into the mortal world, they have powerful life essence. No matter how old they are, they will never die. The flowers bloom and the leaves fall. Before they know it, fifty years have passed, and even Hu
Xuandu has become an old man over fifty years old, with gray beard and hair, and a stooped body. His son Hu Fei has married, and the wife has been pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a fat son.
Hu Xuan was so happy that he came to show Li Qianmo the next day with his beloved grandson in his arms.
When Li Qianmo saw the newborn baby, a light suddenly flashed in his heart. He seemed to have realized something. He suddenly walked out of the gate and walked to the west of the town. Chu Xingyao hurriedly followed him and walked with him without saying a word.
.
Seeing that Li Qianmo was bewildered by his behavior, Hu Xuan chased him out of the gate and shouted from a distance: "Uncle Li, where are you going?"
Li Qian didn't even look back on the street. He waved his hand towards him and said loudly: "The world is vast and I have my own place to go. Xuan'er, please take care of yourself."
Hu Xuan looked at Li Qianmo's retreating back, and heard his singing voice coming from afar: "Thousands of sighs, eternal sorrows, who secretly exchanged the fleeting years, the old hero, the white head of the beauty. The liver and gallbladder are shining, the dream is not old, and we laugh and talk together.
When I came here, the plume-fan boy was no less charming."
