Chapter 105: Ten years away from home, ten years back,
_______________
Bashu·楽山.
The roads in the small county town are constantly filled with traffic, and the neat streets are crowded with people.
The rhythm of Bashu people is always very slow.
Winter is cold.
People wore thick coats and held various delicacies in their hands. They were eating, talking and laughing at the same time, so uncomfortable.
There is a special aroma permeating the hot pot restaurant on the street.
Chu Xiu did not hide his figure and walked around like a mortal.
I used my spiritual mind to learn the current month from a passerby’s cell phone.
2023·August.
"A total of ten years have passed since I left until I returned."
Chu Xiu frowned, feeling complicated.
There are joys and worries.
For a monk, ten years of seclusion is not enough. However, for ordinary people living on the Blue Star, ten years is already a fraction of their life.
"Grandpa, is he okay?"
Chu Xiu was a little afraid to continue thinking about it, and he was a little afraid to go home.
The so-called fear of being close to home is exactly like this.
"Wow, he is so handsome."
"His robe looks so high-end, and his wig is also good, so soft that it looks like the real thing."
"Who is he cosplaying? Is it Wei Wuxian?"
"No, no, no, he is obviously much more handsome than Wei Wuxian."
"He is definitely the most handsome person I have ever seen in my life."
“Amazing!!”
The four Sichuan girls gathered together, their faces flushed, their eyes unblinking, staring at Chu Xiu fiercely, and letting out various exclamations from their mouths.
Chu Xiu's appearance was already outstanding, and with his cultivation to the quasi-emperor realm, every inch of his body had reached perfection, so his lethality was too great for them.
"Little brother, can you take a photo with us?"
The little girl with baby fat came to Chu Xiu timidly with a red face, her eyes avoided, and she did not dare to look at him.
Chu Xiu glanced at her phone and nodded slightly.
Seeing him agree,
The little girl was so surprised that she jumped up and quickly dragged her best friends to take pictures.
After taking the photo.
Several people gathered together again to enjoy the photos.
When he looked up again, the figure had disappeared.
"Where was that little brother just now?"
"Maybe you can enter that store!"
"Hehe, I'm so lucky today. I can take a photo with such a good-looking brother, which is enough for me to brag about for a lifetime."
______________
Walking on a country road.
The cool breeze ruffled the long gray hair hanging around her waist.
Chu Xiu closed his eyes and felt the breeze of his homeland.
"I never thought that the vitality of heaven and earth also exists in Blue Star."
"However, compared to the Sky Continent, the vitality of heaven and earth here is much thinner."
"Well, since there is vitality in heaven and earth, there should be monks."
"Do you want to investigate with your spiritual power?"
Chu Xiu thought for a while and then gave up the idea.
Not far ahead is the village where I grew up.
Chu Xiu looked from a distance and saw that the village was not big, with only about forty households.
Ten years have passed.
The original brick houses have been transformed into bungalows and small buildings....
The road has also become a cement road.
The village is developing very well, but it is no longer as lively as it used to be.
Young people have gone out to study, work, or do business.
Nowadays, most of the people living in the village are elderly people.
Standing under the yellow fruit tree hugged by the village head.
A trace of recollection flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes.
"You were still a sapling when I left."
"Now, you have grown so big."
Woof~
Woof~
An old yellow dog ran out of nowhere and stood dozens of meters away, baring its teeth and barking at Chu Xiu.
"Who?"
The door of the nearest bungalow was pushed open.
An old woman about eighty years old with thinning pale hair walked out shakily with a cane in hand.
She squinted her cloudy old eyes and looked at the young man under the ancient yellow tree.
Or you don’t see it clearly.
She tremblingly came closer.
There was confusion on his wrinkled face.
He asked uncertainly: "Child...you...you...are you from Mr. Chu's family?"
"It's me, Grandma Huang~" Chu Xiu said with a smile. Based on his memory, he recognized the person at a glance.
"It's really you." The old woman smiled in surprise, revealing two rows of toothless gums. She stepped forward and grabbed Chu Xiu's sleeves, complaining: "My child, where have you been these years? Do you know how many grandfathers you have?"
Worried about you, he almost traveled all over our country to find you."
Chu Xiu's pupils trembled slightly.
My grandpa must be the most worried about his sudden disappearance!
Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel a sore nose when he thought that he, an old man, would search all over the country in order to find himself.
"Hey, my child, you're still late!" Grandma Huang sighed.
Chu Xiu's heart tightened when he heard this.
as expected.
Grandma Huang continued, "If you had come back two years earlier, you might have been able to meet your grandfather."
"My grandfather passed away?" Chu Xiu's voice trembled.
His parents died young.
It was his grandfather who raised him since he was a child.
Grandpa is his last relative in Blue Star.
I never thought that when I finally returned to my hometown, I would get the most unexpected result.
"Two years ago, when the Chinese New Year was about to come, Mr. Chu fell seriously ill and returned to the village. He died soon after. You didn't come back. Our village had to help with the matter." Grandma Huang said with a look of regret.
Mr. Chu was a good man, but it’s a pity that he passed away like this.”
"My child, it's good to come back. Don't be too sad. People will grow old one day."
"My child, you must be hungry! Let's go to grandma's house. The food will be ready soon."
Grandma Huang's skinny hands covered with age spots tightly held Chu Xiu's wrist and comforted him with a warm voice.
Chu Xiu declined Grandma Huang's kindness.
Standing outside the familiar fence.
Push the door and enter.
The small yard has been overgrown with weeds because it has not been taken care of for a long time, and the house is also showing signs of collapse.
The place where I have lived for many years has now become so desolate and dilapidated.
Chu Xiu's eyelids drooped.
Taking one step forward, he teleported to the hill behind the house.
There is an inconspicuous little mound on the hill.
Chu Xiu knelt down and traced every word on the rough tombstone with his fingers.
Sadness, guilt, and all kinds of emotions came flooding in.
I don't know how long the silence lasted.
When he raised his head again, tears were streaming down his face.
It turns out that he can also be sad and cry!
yes!
No matter how decisive he is in killing and how he defines himself as a bad villain, after all, he is a person who values family ties and is not a training machine without the slightest emotion.
"Can the Great Emperor span the long river of time? Why do you tell me that even if I break through the Great Emperor realm, it is impossible to save my grandfather."
[Blue Star, or the rules of this universe, are completely different from the rules of the universe in Sky Continent]
[There once was a supreme being in this universe who created reincarnation with great power. Your grandfather has already reincarnated]
[You cannot fish out a person who has been reincarnated from the river of time]
【My condolences to the host!】
Chu Xiu stood up silently, the tears on his cheeks evaporated instantly, and there was a strong wind gathering in his eyes. He just heard him say firmly: "If you can't do it as an emperor, you can become an immortal. If you can't become an immortal, you can break through the realm of immortals."
"I dare to be an enemy of the way of heaven."
"Who in the world can steal someone from me, Chu Xiu."
Say it.
Chu Xiu knelt on his grandfather's grave again, took out a pot of Mo Xiangyi, opened the lid, sprinkled some on the grave, and took a sip himself.
"Grandpa and grandson are back."
"I'm still thinking about eating the twice-cooked pork you made."
"Don't worry, wait and see, sooner or later we will have a drink together."
Chu Xiu talked to himself, while drinking, and spilling wine in front of the tomb.
The aroma of wine spreads.
Infected by the vitality in the wine.
The hills were originally covered with withered vegetation.
Before I knew it, the trees were already shady and the mountain flowers were blooming.
This magical scene will definitely shock anyone who sees it.
