"He has changed a lot." Mrs. Qin, who was going down the mountain, frequently turned her head to look at Xu Xu's back, "The whole person's aura is different from before."

Du Cheng sighed: "It's inevitable that something like this happened to an important person."

Mrs. Qin shook her head: "You haven't been in touch with the former him. If you have been with the former him, you will understand that his current change is not just something that can be summed up by the word sad."

"How?" Du Cheng asked.

"He doesn't talk much today, but every word he utters is full of wounds, which makes people feel heartbroken." Sister-in-law Qin looked at the vain back with a sad face, "His whole body is as heavy as a mountain on his back. Holding on to his own limit, in fact, the last straw has already been pressed down, but behind him there is the Chi family, the world, and the demons. He was crushed to the ground and collapsed, but he dared not close his eyes. Eye."

Aunt Qin's eyes turned red as she spoke. In her heart, Xuxu is like her younger brother. Looking at him now, she really loves him.

Du Cheng wiped away the tears for Mrs. Qin, and said softly, "How can we help him?"

"I can't help." Sister-in-law Qin choked up, "This is also what makes me saddest. When we were in trouble, they helped so much. Now, our benefactor is in trouble, but we... can only watch. I hate myself for being useless."

"Then let's see him more in the future." Du Cheng hugged Aunt Qin into his arms to comfort him, "Talk to him more."

"No way." Mrs. Qin shook her head again, "He used to be such a person who loved to make friends, but now, I can see that he doesn't want to see people at all, and he doesn't want to deal with anyone. We come here frequently, but I'm bothering you, from the moment Mr. Chi separated his body and soul, he probably also sealed himself off."

At night, Xuxu came back from the foot of the mountain, but he didn't wait for anyone.

He took a jug of wine casually, slumped on the ground against the edge of the bed, took off the lid and drank it vigorously.

"I didn't come today." He wiped his mouth indiscriminately, "You missed the appointment again."

"There's something I didn't tell you." He took another sip of his wine, "I can hold a lot of alcohol now, I practiced during the two years I left home, I didn't say it on purpose, do you know why?" He chuckled , "I just like to see the way you control me."

His gaze lowered, Canyang had already been shattered beyond recognition.

"It's been a year, and this year, I have welcomed and sent off many people, those who are familiar and unfamiliar, seem to have their own endings." He took another sip of wine, tilted his head to the bed and lay quietly Humanity said, "But tell me, what is the end of life?

"I have witnessed many stories and sent away many souls, but I can't see you..." Tears fell from his eyes and mixed with the wine on his lips.

"Candle vines can't call you, the smell of wine can't catch you, and I can't wait for you when I sit at the foot of the mountain on time every day. Tell me how far I want to go... even if you entrust me with a dream... good……"

Weeping like rain, his clothes were already wet, and he didn't know whether it was tears or wine that soaked them.

"I can't find a single trace of you in my dreams, why are you so cruel?" His voice was trembling to the point where he couldn't make a complete sound, "I don't believe you don't know how I got here this year, just you Don't you worry about me at all?"

"It's been a year, Awei." He leaned against the bed with his head up and his eyes closed, and the wine jug rolled to the ground, "You really..." Tears rolled down his throat like a spring, and his throat rolled violently, "Don't want me Is it..."

Three days later, the House of Representatives.

"Fengli brought new left and right protectors three days ago." Chi Hanwen sat on a high seat, and said to the people in the hall, "Xuanxu, what do you think?"

"Return to Master." Xu Xu said, "Although Fengli has not officially left the customs, but since he has started a new movement, it means that he is not far from the customs. In the past year, the Chi family has recovered and rested. The aristocratic family has also promised that they will not be alone again, but even if they send troops, they will definitely retain their strength, but it is better than nothing, although there are risks, but now is indeed a good time to counterattack the demons."

"Muchen, what's your opinion?" Chi Hanwen asked again.

"Return to Master." Jiang Muchen said, "I think what Junior Brother Xuxu said makes sense. We may not have the upper hand in sending troops now, but if we drag Fengli out of the customs, I'm afraid the winning rate will be even smaller."

"Hey, if the young master is here, the winning rate will also increase..." A disciple unconsciously muttered, everyone was silent for a moment, and when he realized that he had slipped his words, he immediately shut up.

"Even if the risk is high, we still have to fight." Jiang Muchen continued, "Even if he won't win, he can't be as rampant as before after the war. Send him to retreat again, which is also to ease the crisis of the raging demons."

"Although the seven great aristocratic families have indicated that they will join forces to eliminate demons, there is still no final decision on how to send troops and how many troops to send." Chi Hanwen said, "Since we want to counterattack, this time, we must either win or suppress severely. We need to plan carefully , we can't afford it."

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison.

"Report!" A disciple rushed in to report urgently, "There is a large amount of abnormal demonic energy gathering in the Dicheng, which is under the jurisdiction of the Chi family, and the guarding disciples are asking for support!"

"Illusion." Chi Hanwen raised his eyes.

"Disciple understands." Xuxu saluted, tilted his head and said, "Ming Miao, I'll go first, quickly gather your disciples to lead the team and follow behind."

"Okay." Ming Miao responded.

He turned around and galloped away with his sword, Ming Miao immediately followed him out.

The flute city is relatively remote. When the demons were raging before, a large number of refugees fled here for refuge, and the original remote people gradually increased.In addition, the demons have restrained themselves over the past year, and the originally desolate land has begun to show signs of prosperity. I didn't expect to be targeted by the demons so soon.

When Xuxu arrived, there were no people on the street, the doors of every house were closed, and some stalls were still steaming.These people were disaster victims who had taken refuge, so they should be terrified of this terrifying demonic energy.

The sky was overcast and cloudy, and the evil wind that was approaching by the demonic energy was howling in the city, and the town that was a little bustling suddenly became like a ghost town with no people in it.

The emptiness was one step ahead of the demonic energy. When he settled in the city, he threw out a handful of talisman papers, and unscrewed a smoked wind fan.

He flew to the gate of the city, raised his hands, and the knot seal floated on it. He pushed the knot seal forward, and a huge barrier covered it, covering this small city.

He stood in front of the city gate, holding his hands as far as he could, surrounded by golden spiritual power, burning like a raging fire.He raised his eyes and stared at the black devilish energy that was still gathering here.

A large amount of demonic energy that was galloping towards him came to a sudden stop when it was three feet away from him.

They confronted each other silently for a moment, then Mo Qi turned around as if frightened, and ran in the opposite direction.

"Want to leave after coming?" Xu Xu asked coldly. "dream."

"Ming Miao!" Following his shout, Ming Miao led his disciples to besiege from the direction where the demonic energy was fleeing, and the demonic energy was forced to fight, Xuxu charged forward with his sword in hand.

There are demons and ghosts in this group of demonic energy, but there are no high-level demon cultivators, and it is just difficult to deal with because of the large number and variety.

Xuxu's moves are clean and neat, without any muddling, and even with ruthless determination.

He was fighting against the hour, and if he didn't hurry up, he wouldn't be able to go back before Haishi.

Just after the hour of Xu Shi, all the monsters were killed, and the demonic energy dissipated, revealing today's bright moon, and it was night, and the sky and the earth also brightened.

"It's Shui Ye-kun!"

Just as Xu Xu raised his foot and was about to leave, a person in the city popped up and pointed at him.

"Nonsense!" Someone retorted, "This is obviously the vain fairy of the Chi family!"

"You're just talking nonsense!" The man said again, "He saved me. He accidentally dropped his mask that time, and I saw his true face. There is absolutely no way I would admit the wrong benefactor!"

"It's impossible for me to admit my mistake! I was by the side when he and Master Chi were slaying demons together!"

"Wait!" Someone suddenly realized, "Could it be that Shui Yejun is illusory, and illusory is Shui Yejun?!"

"That's right!" Others also responded, "Who said they can't be the same person!"

"My God! Shui Yejun is vain, and vain is Shui Ye!"

People in the city rushed out in an instant, kneeling and prostrating one after another.

"Thank you Xianjun for saving me!"

"Great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten!"

"You can't repay your life-saving grace!"

"You saved our entire city!"

"Xianjun has saved more than one city!"

"Xianjun is really a god who came to the world!"

"God descends into the world!"

"God descends into the world!"

"..."

Illusion holds everything and stands under the bright moon.

"I'm not a god." He tilted his head slightly and said to the people behind him, "I'm just a disciple of the Chi family."

After that, people suddenly realized that the person who stood side by side with Young Master Chi was the same person from beginning to end.

He stepped on the foot of the mountain, and before he reached the stone steps, he saw the candlelight flickering, and he stepped forward in three steps at a time.

"Old man! Old man!" shouted the ghost of an old woman, looking for someone everywhere.

"Grandma." Xu Xu was still panting, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, my old man is gone!" She was so anxious that she clapped her hands straight, "Young man, have you seen my old man?"

Xuxu was silent for a moment, and asked: "When did you guys get separated?"

"Not long ago!" The old woman suddenly realized something and asked, "Young man, can you see me?"

"Grandma, you..."

"I know," said the old woman, "I know I'm dead, my old man and I are dead."

False fell silent.

"Hey, it's okay." The old woman smiled kindly, "It's normal to be born, grow old, get sick and die. We've reached our age, we're all over ninety, and the children are celebrating and mourning."

"Then what did you say, you got separated from your husband?" Xu Xu asked.

"The old man and I are only three days away from leaving." The old woman said, "He went first, and he told me before he left that he would wait for me to go on the road together. I saw him when I woke up after a nap." , we just walked together, and somehow we got separated.” The old lady patted her head, “After becoming this soul, many things are hazy, and I can’t see or remember clearly. I can't remember where I got lost, and I forgot how I got lost, so I can only keep searching and searching, and I found this place."

"Grandma, wait a moment." Xuxu raised his hand and threw out a few talisman papers. The talisman papers were covered with golden light, and they rushed around in unison, Xuxu closed his eyes and waited for a moment.

"Within a radius of three miles, there is no old man's soul." Xu Xu opened his eyes, "Grandma's husband is not around here."

"Oh! What should I do!" Grandma said anxiously, "We agreed to go together, why is this last part of the journey..." The old woman suddenly choked up.

"Grandma is not in a hurry." Xu Hua comforted, "How long have you been separated?"

"Let me think about it." The old woman wiped her tears, "It's been two hours."

"After you got separated, have you ever met other souls?"

"No."

"Grandma, please stretch out your hand."

The old woman stretched out her hand obediently, Xuxu drew a red amulet on her hand, and then put a piece of talisman paper on it, and the talisman paper "brushed" into dots of golden light.

"You have been separated for a long time." Xu Xu said, "I can only try it with the little soul breath he left on you, and I have to wait for a while." Xu Xu helped the old woman to the steps, "Grandma, come and sit first for a while."

"Thank you, young man." The old woman said to Xu Xu after sitting down.

"Grandma, you're welcome."

"The children of my two grandchildren are also as old as you." The old woman looked at Xu Xu lovingly.

"Mother-in-law is so lucky." Xu Xu smiled.

"Wait." The old woman suddenly said sadly, "It's already past Haishi, you young man is still playing outside so late, the mother at home should be anxious! If my group of hairy children don't come home so late, the ones who greet them must be A curse."

mother……

If he had experienced the feeling of his father in Uncle Lin, then he would never know the taste of his mother in his life.

"I don't have parents." Xu Xu smiled.

"Ah? Oops!" The old woman hurriedly patted her mouth, "Look at me, old woman! I'm so outspoken, I said the wrong thing!"

"It's okay, grandma." Xu Huai said warmly, "I've been used to it for a long time."

"Hey, let grandma ask a few more questions?" The old woman said cautiously, "The parents at home are..."

Xuxu shook his head: "No, not since birth."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand what Xu Xu said, but she didn't ask any further.

"I don't have parents." Xu Xu smiled slightly, "But I have a family."

"Is...was taken in by kind people?" Grandma asked.

Xuxu nodded, the candlelight flickered in his eyes.

"Very, very nice guy," he said.

"That must be your blessing from doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." Grandma laughed.

"Yeah." Xu Xu raised his head slightly, looking at the deep night sky dotted with stars, the sea of ​​stars stretching thousands of miles, "He is so kind, I don't know how many lifetimes of cultivation I met before I met him."

The old lady smiled and said, "Is it your wife, young man?"

"Yes." Xu Xuan nodded lightly, "But he has traveled far away, and I don't know when he will be back."

"Tsk tsk tsk." The old woman smacked her lips, "Young people nowadays are really playful, and so is my daughter-in-law. Sometimes I go back to my mother's house to find friends to play with, and my son is still used to it. It's easy, it's normal to think about family and friends, anyway, I'm old, I can't control them, they come here as they please, by the way, how long has your family been out?"

"More than a year." Xuxu said softly.

"Oh!" The old woman frowned, "It's been a long time, this child is a bit headstrong."

"Really?" Xuxu was still looking at the starry sky, "It's really capricious."

"However, I will definitely come back." The old woman said again, "Like my daughter-in-law, she went there for a month at the longest time, and then she came back well. It's just fun, it's nothing." She was kind and gentle. , is the unique charity of the elderly, "The home is here, where else can he go?"

"Grandma is right." Xu Xu turned his head, "Thank you, grandma."

"Silly boy, thank you for nothing." The old woman said, "Grandma, I am telling the truth."

"Is there no news from my old man?" the old woman asked again.

"Not yet."

"Then I'll wait." The old woman patted her thigh, "Where did this old man die? You must tell him well when you see him later."

"Grandma, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Xu Xu asked.

The old lady thought for a moment, and then said: "It seems not."

"Actually, my whole life is considered complete." She continued, "I was born into an ordinary small family with both parents, and an old man who met on a blind date later." She smiled a little shyly, "And then I got married, Ordinarily, there will definitely be some small bumps and small bumps, but I have never encountered a catastrophe. I often tell the old man, don’t ask for great wealth and wealth, be ordinary and stable, and live like this for a lifetime, and we will be fine. I'm already very lucky, wish, I don't have any wish, just..." She smiled slightly, "I just can't let go of some things."

"My son is okay. He married a wife he likes and gets along well. He gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and they are both of marriageable age. Both grandchildren are already talking about marriage. My granddaughter chooses, then Many sons and families also don't like it. I really don't know what this child likes. It's worrying for her parents. Besides, she likes to eat the beef pie I made the most. I'm gone, and there is no one. I did it for her, when I left, she was the one who cried the most, alas, this child..."

"I still have a daughter, and I'm most worried about it." Her eyes were a little red, "She's married for the second time now, and that ex-husband is really not a thing. He beats her when she drinks, and beats my daughter..." Her tears flowed uncontrollably, "My heart hurts when I think about it. Later, the old man and I and her elder brother and sister-in-law helped her get rid of her ex-husband with great difficulty. Now this one treats her well, but that bastard is still there from time to time. I'm really worried, but it's okay." She smiled slightly with tears in her eyes, "My grandson is promising, he just passed the military officer exam, and he is very protective of his mother, I guess that beast is not very good. If you dare to make trouble, you are a bully..."

Just as he was talking, Xuxu raised his gaze, and there was a soul approaching in front of him, and he stood up abruptly.
