Along the way, Huang Tian didn't pay attention to the surprised glances around him. When he returned home happily, he went straight to his mother Hu Meier's room based on his childhood memories, only to find that she was not in the room. The room was tidy, with tables and chairs
It was covered with dust, and you could tell that no one had lived in it for a long time.
Could it be that mother has returned to grandpa’s house?
Huang Tian didn't know if his guess was true, so he wanted to look around. Unexpectedly, he saw his father Bing Xiaotian here, and asked him.
Seeing his father, Huang Tian was not as excited as before, his expression was very calm, and his words were even a little cold.
"Your mother?" Bing Xiaotian frowned, seemingly not surprised by Huang Tian's attitude, and said, "She died three years ago."
"What? Died?" Huang Tian was startled, and his mind suddenly became confused. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "How did she die?"
"After you left, I missed you so much that I became ill."
When talking about the death of his wife, Bing Xiaotian was not at all sad, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.
"I miss him so much... I passed away." Huang Tian murmured to himself. He couldn't believe this fact. He felt that the sky above his head instantly collapsed. He left in despair.
Eight years apart, the father and son met again. There was no joyous scene as imagined, everything was so peaceful. After Huangtian heard the news of Hu Meier's death, he left sadly, and this calmness changed. This is too unreasonable.
Already.
Looking at the tombstone in front of him, which was not very tall, Huang Tian did not cry because he remembered the words of the Fourth Ancestor: A man bleeds without crying.
This is the tomb of Huang Tian’s mother, Hu Meier. He stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, feeling dejected, and finally let out a long sigh.
At some point, Bing Xiaotian also came here. Huang Tian frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"
Huang Tian's attitude was very bad, even a little hostile, but Bing Xiaotian didn't care, but looked at the dense group of tombs in front of him, and said: "I knew you were here, I came just to tell you
one thing."
This is the Bing family cemetery, where all the ancestors of the Bing family are buried. Whenever a member of the Bing family dies, they will be buried here. The ones further back are of greater seniority.
Huang Tian didn't seem to want to talk to Bing Xiaotian and simply said: "What's the matter?"
Bingxiao Tiandao: "This is the mission given by the Fourth Ancestor back then, to go out and find the Bing family's important treasure, the Four Swords of Killing Immortals, that was lost since ancient times."
"why me?"
"Because you are the person chosen by the Fourth Ancestor, you are destined to be the most outstanding descendant of the Bing family in this generation, so it is you."
"Okay, I'll just go."
"When will we set off?"
"Tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Huangtian left directly.
At night, under the starry sky, Huang Tian was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking at Xingkong alone. Everything here used to be so familiar to him, but now it has become unfamiliar because there is one person missing.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked in from the door. The woman was very beautiful, wearing a blue robe, with three thousand hair strands like a waterfall reaching her waist, slender willow eyebrows, dark eyes like stars and moon, and white as snow.
The delicate dimple is as crystal clear as jade.
The woman came straight to sit opposite Huang Tian and said, "Little Huang Tian, do you still remember me?"
Hearing the sound, Huang Tian finally reacted. When he saw the woman, Huang Tian was a little surprised and said, "Seventh Elder, why are you here?"
The seventh elder pretended to be angry and said, "Why, shouldn't I come and see your kid after he returns from his studies?"
Huang Tian touched his head and said awkwardly: "No, no, I didn't mean that, it was just a little unexpected."
Huang Tian was a little happy when he saw the Seventh Elder coming over. Since he was a child, apart from his mother, the Seventh Elder had been kind to him. In addition, there was also a drunken Third Elder who had no prejudice against him.
The seventh elder rested his chin on the stone table with his hands and said, "I haven't seen you for eight years, and your boy has turned into a young boy."
"By the way, how have you been practicing with the Fourth Patriarch these past few years?"
Huang Tian sighed and said: "What's the matter? It's not like that. By the way, did my mother really die of longing for her?"
"Of course, otherwise you would have thought that your father was responsible for his death! Don't take this matter to heart, people are bound to die. Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws." The seventh elder was afraid that Huang Tian would not be able to accept this fact.
He said comforting words.
Huang Tian smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Where is the third elder? I'll go and see him later."
"The third elder is in retreat now, why are you in such a hurry?" the seventh elder said.
"Are you not in a hurry? I will leave the mountain tomorrow morning." Huang Tian said.
Hearing this, the Seventh Elder frowned slightly and said, "Come out of the mountain? Did your father ask you to find the Four Swords of Zhu Xian?"
Huangtian nodded and said, "That's right."
"Actually, I should have thought that the important task of finding the Four Swords of Zhu Xian would fall on you, but you don't have to worry for a day or two!"
Seeing that Huang Tian did not speak, the Seventh Elder knew that Huang Tian had made up his mind and said: "The Four Swords of Zhu Xian are important treasures that have been frozen and lost in the Gods and Demons Continent since ancient times. Since the fourth ancestor handed them down, the family has been searching for them for ten thousand years.
I have searched the entire continent of gods and demons, but there is no news. Many family members have never been able to return here since they stepped out of Qinglong Mountain."
Huang Tian said: "There is no way. Since the matter has fallen on me, it will be the same earlier or later. I have nothing to miss after meeting the seventh elder today."
The seventh elder had a solemn expression and said: "Boy, people outside are as sinister as they are at home, and the Bing family is the target of public criticism. You must remember not to trust anyone easily and not to give your last name, otherwise you will be killed."
Seeing the serious expression on the seventh elder's face, Huang Tian nodded and said, "I understand."
The Seventh Elder turned his hand, and a large amount of money fell out of the space ring with a clatter, as much as a hill. "Money is needed everywhere outside, so take the money!"
Since the seventh elder asked him to accept it, Huang Tian was not polite and put all the hills into the space ring. He had no idea about money and had no idea how much money it cost.
Afterwards, the Seventh Elder kept talking until late into the night before getting up and leaving.
The next morning, Huang Tian packed up his luggage and stepped out of the room resolutely.
In such a large family, only the seventh elder came to see him off. Standing at the door of the family, Huang Tian said: "Seventh elder, please go back first!"
The seventh elder looked at Huang Tian with very soft eyes. He was very reluctant to leave Huang Tian and sighed: "You go, I will watch you leave here."
"Okay then, I'll leave now, Seventh Elder, take care."
After saying that, Huang Tian no longer hesitated and turned around to embark on the journey to find the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
