Chapter 38: Returning Home
The general, who used to be mighty and impressed by Shui Sheng, has now become a sick man with white hair and bones, and his loud voice has become hoarse and ugly, and when he speaks, it is like a word being squeezed out of his throat, but this hearty and atmospheric character has not changed at all.
In just three years, the bright and moving Iron Lady turned out to have gray temples.
Shui Sheng's heart was sour, and he slowly helped General Tie Yi up, straightened his figure on the wooden couch, leaned against the wall, and motioned for Mrs. Tie and the two women to leave the room, and then sat down cross-legged in front of General Tie Yi, put one hand on the acupoint on his chest, and the other hand buckled his veins, urging the true qi to slowly inject into General Tie Yi's body.
A whole day and a night passed, and the closed door was slowly opened by the water from the inside. Seeing a hint of a smile on Shui Sheng's tired face, Lady Tie had always put down her heart, and her eyes were full of gratitude, the immature child who was still playing with her daughter a few years ago has now become a big backer that can be relied on.
In the room, General Tieyi was lying quietly on the wooden couch, his eyes closed, his breathing evenly, and his clothes, soaked with sweat countless times, were full of white salt grains.
After shattering, the meridians that were entangled and growing together were torn apart by the Tiangang evil qi in the body of the aquatic life, and then repaired again, the whole process was much more difficult than the rescue of the ebony Dao people that day, but I didn't expect this unbearable severe pain, General Tie Yi was able to say nothing, and he couldn't hold back, seeing the beads of sweat rolling down General Tie Yi's forehead and the steel teeth that were creaking, Shui Sheng secretly admired.
After only three days, General Iron Wing was able to get out of bed and walk. And he was able to eat a big bowl of rice, and the Tiefu swept away the decadence. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
On a moonlit night, after the feast. The figures of Shui Sheng and Black Tiger galloped towards Hanquan Village in Hengshui Town, and the words of General Iron Wing were still echoing in their ears: "Since the Fire Spirit Sect monk took Xintang away, he wanted Xintang to worship under the door to learn the Tao, and the virtuous nephew didn't need to worry too much! As for the great revenge of the Ebony Daoist, he naturally had to take revenge, but before he reached the Yuanying realm, it was better to put it aside first!"
"Yuan Infant Realm! Yuan Infant Realm!" Shui Sheng kept muttering in his heart, but when would he reach the Yuan Infant Realm? Not to mention the unattainable Yuanying realm!
It was the full moon, and the white moonlight sprinkled on the body of the aquatic and black tiger, covering the figure of a man and a beast with a hazy shadow. Brought to Yuding Mountain.
At the speed of the black tiger, hundreds of miles are only an hour or two, and it is still early, under the lazy moonlight. Everything on the roadside has become hazy and beautiful, and in recent years, the aquatic life has never enjoyed this quiet and quiet. The wine slowly came to his heart, and Shui Sheng couldn't help but let the black tiger slow down.
Just after the child. Cold Spring Village has appeared in front of the eyes of the water, under the hazy moonlight. The tall trees and the houses all make ripples in the hearts of the aquatic people. The shadow of his parents began to rise in his heart, and somehow, facing the familiar and quiet village in front of him, Shui Sheng suddenly felt a trace of cowardice and guilt in his heart! The three of his brothers and sisters embarked on the road of cultivating immortals without hesitation, but what about their parents, who will take care of them when they are old?
If an immortal cultivator wants to reach the highest realm, he must cut off the love thread in the mortal world, endure the loneliness in the mountains, and a retreat, decades and hundreds of years will pass, so it also indicates that after his parents are old, he can't bear the joy of his knees, and he can't be filial to the bedside!
There is still a hundred zhang road away from the entrance of the village, the aquatic toes lightly buckle the tiger's belly, stop the black tiger that is galloping, stop, at this time it is late at night, the parents must be asleep, how can they disturb?
The full moon in the sky quietly disappeared, and the surroundings began to become pitch black, it was early summer, and the night was as cool as water! Those mink foxes and rat snakes that ate at night were running restlessly, as if sensing the arrival of aquatic and black tigers, and all of them stopped at once, and quietly fled, and the whole village suddenly became silent and silent!
In the dark night, the pair of pupils of the black tiger were like two bright lights, looking at the standing aquatic creatures in bewilderment, and let out a slight low roar in their throats, startling the night owls on the trees to spread their wings and fly away. Shui Sheng suddenly smiled, threw out the spirit beast bag, and put the black tiger in the bag. I found a big tree, flew up, and my divine sense slowly swept over one house after another, zuihou landed on the wooden building where my parents lived, and never left, for a long time, I don't know what I remembered, and a faint smile slowly appeared on my face.
The big yellow dog lying downstairs in Luojiamu seemed to be aware of it, opened a pair of dog eyes with sleepy eyes, got up, circled around the yard a few times, and barked twice, causing a burst of dogs to bark around, but it itself slowly walked back to the sleeping place with suspicion, lay down again, and hid its head.
With the crowing of the rooster, the sky slowly brightened, and the morning sun had just climbed to the treetops, and some hard-working villagers had already pushed open the courtyard and began to prepare for a day's work.
Shui Sheng jumped off the tree, took out a piece of cooked beef from the storage bag, held it in his left hand, put the two fingers of his right thumb and index finger in his mouth, and whistled loudly.
The big yellow dog wandering around the yard stopped suddenly, looked in the direction where the aquatic life was, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, sniffed his nose, barked at the wooden house a few times, and quickly ran out of the half-open door, and ran towards the entrance of the village.
The window on the second floor of the wooden house was slowly pushed open, revealing Zhou Jinpeng's tall figure, glanced at the big yellow dog running on the village road, frowned, and said, "Early in the morning, what is the rhubarb crazy?"
"How can I hear that whistle from Fang Cai as if it was blown by our family?" Luo Xiuying's voice sounded in the room, Zhou Jinpeng was stunned, turned around, smiled, and said: "You didn't wake up, did you?" I think you think your son is crazy, didn't General Tieyi already bring a message three months ago, saying that Shui Sheng was in retreat and cultivation at the Yuding Gate, how could he run back now?"
Hearing her husband say this, Luo Xiuying pursed her mouth unhappily, glanced at Zhou Jinpeng, and said, "Don't you want your son and daughter?
Not long after, with a rush of footsteps, a clear shout sounded at the gate: "Dad, mother, I'm back!" Luo Xiuying was stunned at first, followed by a look of ecstasy on her face, slapped Zhou Jinpeng's broad back hard, turned around and strode towards the door.
Seeing Luo Xiuying open the bamboo curtain and appear at the staircase, Shui Sheng couldn't help but turn red in his eyes.
Luo Xiuying ran down the stairs quickly, grabbed the aquatic ear, looked like a smile on her face, and said: "Little rabbit cub, you are bold, aren't you? It's been almost three years, and you don't bring a message to your father and mother, cultivating immortals is amazing, isn't it? Even if you become an immortal, I am also your mother!"
Shui Sheng understood that his father and mother didn't know everything that had happened in the past two years, so he smiled and said, "Mother, you dare to let go quickly, if you pull out my ears, I won't be able to cultivate immortals?"
Shui Sheng just breathed a sigh of relief, but his mother raised his hand and knocked heavily on the door of his head: "Little rabbit cub, if you don't beat you, you won't have a long memory, and you finally went home, but you dare to be empty-handed, how did your master teach you?"
Seeing her son take out a small bag and shake it gently, the white light flickered, and suddenly there were a lot of things on the table, Luo Xiuying couldn't help but open her mouth wide, the look on her face was surprised and happy, and said: "Son, what kind of treasure is this little bag of yours, how can it contain so many things? Show it to my mother!"
"Eat slowly, eat slowly! No one is robbing you, there are still many in the pot, son, haven't you eaten in the past few years? Let me ask you, are Da Niu and Xiao Juan also hungry every day?" Luo Xiuying said quietly while carrying vegetables into the bowl of aquatic life.
Zhou Jinpeng kept smiling and watching the aquatic gobble. After eating three bowls of rice in a row, Shui Sheng rubbed his round belly, burped, and said vaguely: "It's still delicious that my mother's cooking! My stinky master, if he doesn't give me food all day long, he's about to starve me to death! Don't worry, mother, the master of the eldest brother and Xiaojuan is good, and the food is good!"
A few days later, Luo Xiuying sat quietly by the window, looked at the stacks of firewood piled up like a hill in the yard, and sighed softly.
Zhou Jinpeng asked, "What's the matter, isn't it good for my son to work for you?"
"You stupid, you didn't see that he was leaving, and I don't know when he will come back next time?"
After being silent for a long time, Zhou Jinpeng also sighed and said: "When the eagle is big, it will always fly away, and when the tiger is big, it will always run out to occupy a mountain forest, and only the lamb with no interest will stay by the side of his parents!"
Three days later, looking at a few bottles of pills and a thin book on the table, Luo Xiuying smiled "poof" and said: "This son didn't raise a game in vain, he finally has a little conscience, he can even think of letting you and me go to cultivate immortals, you say, do we cultivate or not?"
Zhou Jinpeng touched his chin and said, "What are you cultivating, do you really think you have a spiritual root?
Hearing her husband say this, Luo Xiuying's face darkened, and she said angrily: "I don't have a spiritual root, don't forget, Da Niu and Xiaojuan were born by me, they can have a spiritual root, but I don't?
