"Creak..." The stone door that closed Wanjian Pond was pushed open from the inside, making a sawing and friction sound.
Ximen Chen, who was meditating on the side, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped to the door of the stone chamber, and looked in nervously. Ares and Shen Shen also ran over here quickly, with expressions of sleepiness on their faces.
sleepy.
"Lao Bujie, has the boss come out?" Ares's eyes were obviously excited.
"Shh~~~~" Ximen Chen quickly put his fingers to his lips.
The stone door opened slowly, as if the people inside were enjoying this feeling. Ximen Chen, Ares and Shen Shen stood in front of the stone door, nervously staring at the slowly opening stone door.
Because it was sunny, a long black shadow trailed in front of the stone chamber door. The stone door finally opened completely, revealing a man and an animal, and two blurry figures suddenly fell in front of the three people.
Siyu stepped out of the shadows with a faint smile on his face.
"Grandpa, I'm out of seclusion."
After saying a faint greeting softly, Ximen Chen looked at his grandson and felt that the distance between him and him had become a little wider. Siyu's aura was a little more restrained than before, but the change in temperament was earth-shaking.
Siyu now is far more mature than his age.
"Boss, you are finally out of seclusion. We have been waiting for you here for three days."
Siyu was slightly shocked. He had also expected that it would be the scheduled time, but what he didn't expect was that he was already three days late. It seemed that he had stayed with the three old ancestors for a full five days.
Siyu looked at his grandfather with a slightly uneasy look and asked, "Grandpa, will you stay here for the past three days?"
Ximenchen smiled and said nothing. After all, Siyu had nothing to do and everyone was happy.
Ares was unhappy on the side and pulled the servant hat on his head. Three days ago, the three of them came here to pick up Siyu. Originally, as usual, they planned to go directly into the stone room to look for Siyu. But that day, Ximen Chen
Uncharacteristically, he was not allowed to go in, and he sat quietly outside to guard.
Ares didn't know the inside story, so how could Ximen Chen not know it. Just when they stepped into the Wanjian Pond, Ximen Chen felt a familiar aura. The aura was looming, but it couldn't escape Ximen Chen.
Ximen Chen's spiritual consciousness. It was because of that familiar aura that Ximen Chen was so out of character and determined not to let Ares and the others enter the stone chamber and affect the people inside.
This wait lasts for three days.
The corners of Ximenchen's eyes were full of excitement, half of which was for Siyu to come out of seclusion again, and the other half seemed extremely mysterious. Apparently he had a lot to ask Siyu. Siyu saw it, but didn't explain.
After a long time, Ximen Chen still didn't ask the question, but said with some concern: "Just come out, just come out!"
The group of people hummed a small tune and started walking up the mountain. Ximen Chen's "Jiangang Tower" was at the top of the mountain. Siyu was in a particularly good mood when he saw the blue sky and white clouds again, and soon became one with Ares and the others.
On the mountainside, the half-open stone slab slowly closed, leaving no echo.
…
The next morning, Siyu and his mistress walked down Jianshan Mountain. During yesterday's dinner, grandpa agreed to go down the mountain and "go home". This home naturally refers to the place where he used to live. He went to see and say goodbye to his four friends.
Relatives of many years.
On the way down the mountain, Siyu was thinking about the first thing he would say after seeing his father. Until he reached the Wushan Mountains, Siyu couldn't think of a reason, so he could only rely on his memory to travel back and forth.
Among flowers, trees and willows.
It should be time to practice now. Wushan is very quiet, and Siyu steps very lightly, not wanting to break the peace easily.
Stopping in front of a spacious independent courtyard, the architectural style in Wushan is random, and there are many buildings from different periods. The independent courtyard in front of me is considered to be relatively spacious. This is the residence of my father.
After standing quietly for about half a minute, Siyu sorted out her inner emotions, gave instructions to the mistress next to her, and slowly walked into the private courtyard.
The yard is very large. Except for a two-story bedroom building, there are gardens in the front and back.
Four years have passed, but there is still not much change here, except that the colors in the garden will be slightly different every year during the flower blooming season.
According to Siyu's recollection, at this time, his father should be drinking tea on the bench in the back garden. This was his most relaxing moment every day. Siyu did not dare to stay longer, and walked around the bedroom building with gentle steps.
Walked towards the back garden.
"Who?" Ximen Piaofeng has been very busy with family affairs recently. He has been busy for more than half a month. Unexpectedly, as soon as he rested today, footsteps sounded outside.
Ximen Piaofeng frowned. He hated being disturbed when he was resting.
Siyu walked into the back garden and stood quietly at the far side, saluting her father: "Father,...it's me."
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached his ears, and Siyu saw his father tremble slightly. Although his movements were very careful, he still caught Siyu's eyes.
Ximen Piaofeng slowly turned around and met Siyu's eyes.
The two people looked at each other quietly, not at all like relatives reunited after a long absence, but like a pair of strangers who just looked at each other kindly, so they continued to look at each other.
I don’t know how long it took, but Ximen Piaofeng’s lips moved slightly and he squeezed out a few words:
"came back?!"
"Yes,...I'm back."
…
With one word, the two fell into silence again.
After a long time, Ximen Piaofeng slowly turned around and no longer looked at Siyu. This move made Siyu secretly surprised. He had expected many meeting scenes, but he didn't expect his father to be so straightforward. After just one glance, he stopped.
Look again.
"Your brother is at the top of Langshan Mountain."
Siyu heard the meaning of seeing off guests in his father's words, nodded through the air, and turned to leave.
"Yu'er..." Siyu was just about to leave when his father's voice sounded again. To Siyu's surprise, his father's voice was a little hoarse. Although he tried hard to hide it, Siyu still heard something.
"...You have grown up!" After being quiet for a long time, Ximen Piaofeng just said a faint word.
Siyu stared at his father's back. The rings of the years turned heavily. His back was no longer so broad, and there was still a little vicissitudes of life. Siyu silently recorded the scene at this moment, and looked at his father's back respectfully.
A salute was given.
Walking on the road in Wushan again, Siyu felt a lot lighter. He didn't expect that this meeting would pass so easily. The two of them said less than ten sentences in total. But this is what Siyu wants to see. He doesn't
I like meetings that are too emotional.
…
Ximen Piaofeng, surrounded by flowers and plants, slowly raised the warm cup in his hand. The moisture from the fragrant tea hit his face and slowly condensed into a crystal droplet at the corner of his eye.

Langshan is also one of the Five Mountains, located to the right of Jianshan. The Ximen family occupies the entire Five Mountains, and except for Jianshan, the four other mountains are open to the public. The opening here is limited to Ximen's disciples.
Therefore, the remaining four mountains are covered with training grounds of various sizes. Because of the spaciousness of the venue, even if you want to use a training ground alone, it is completely possible. Such a luxury is rare in the entire world of cultivation.
have.
As soon as they entered the mountain, the sound of clanking weapons clashing could be heard in the distance. Siyu spread out his body, and with excitement, he quickly shuttled through the paths in the mountain.
If I were to say who was the best to me when I was young, it would definitely be my two older brothers.
"We've been separated for four years, and I wonder what our brothers are like now?" Siyu smiled inwardly and couldn't help but speed up the pace beneath him. The fat mistress followed Siyu far behind, and his speed was not bad at all.
But the way the belly, which is almost dragged to the ground, swaying from side to side while running is really cute.
