Chapter 16: Standing Down

It was late autumn when I left, and it was already cold winter when I returned, and the entire Yunwu Mountain Range was turned into a world of ice and snow, only Zhuyu Peak was the same for all seasons. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boss, you're back!" Xiao Pan said with a laugh.

"yes, it's finally back. Jiang Han's face also had a smile, his body moved, and the whole person had passed through the formation and landed on the steps of the mountain peak.

"Mountain master!" exclaimed a manservant who was cleaning the mountain road.

"The Mountain Lord is back!"

Figures walked out of the halls of the entire mountain peak, and it was the maids and servants who stayed behind, all of whom poured out to greet their mountain master.

Soon, Ying Ying and Mu Qing had already led all the maids and male servants to line up in two rows on the mountain road, all knelt on the ground, and said loudly at the same time: "Congratulations to the mountain lord on his victorious return!

The sound reverberated three times, resounding in all directions, and it seemed grand.

This is the rule set by the Holy Lord of the Qianyuan Sect, and the congratulatory gifts that the servants under his command will give when the innate powerhouse who goes out to perform the tasks of the sect returns.

"Everyone, please get up!" Jiang Han waved his hand, and an invisible force helped all these servants up.

"The mountain lord only returned in three months, and he was almost the last of the many innate uncles in the same year. Ying Ying stepped forward and saluted, looking at Jiang Han respectfully, feeling that the other party was becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable.

"The mountain master is the most outstanding person in the sect for thousands of years, and I am afraid that the task of the sect will be the most difficult, and it is normal to come back later. Mu Qing complimented on the side.

Jiang Han smiled slightly, his two servants were in charge, one had a peaceful personality and didn't like to fight, and the other liked to brag about himself, but the two of them were actually good people, and they took care of a lot, and he was quite satisfied.

"Ying Ying, Mu Qing, I have worked hard for you in the past few years, and you can take these things and distribute them with other servants, which can be regarded as my reward. Jiang Han waved his hand, and the two storage magic weapons floated directly to the two of them.

"Thank you, Lord Mountain!" both of them were surprised, and after taking the storage magic weapon, they explored it slightly, and the items in it made them even more excited.

"Okay, tonight in the welcome hall to set up a banquet, Shi Yue, Mo Yu... Wait for the disciples, everyone in the sect will send me invitations, understand?" Jiang Han said with a smile.

The small amount of Dao weapon magic weapons, pills, etc., that he left behind in the huge trophies he obtained, were mainly reserved for the Jiang disciples, and now taking out some of these Yuan Crystals and ordinary Dao soldiers was nothing to him, but in the eyes of Ying Ying and the others, it was priceless.

"Mountain Lord, you want to feast guests... There's just one thing to report to you. Ying Ying put away the storage magic weapon, lowered her body and said softly: "Mo Yu, Niu Ba... Both of them have fallen. ”

In a flash.

Jiang Han's face changed instantly.

"How come, impossible!" Jiang Han's eyes shone with disbelief.

Senior Sister Mo Yu and Senior Brother Niu Ba, why are they all dead like this?

"A month ago, a group of ten of them went to Qingzhou to carry out a sect mission, it is said that they were ambushed during the mission, and only one innate powerhouse came back alive, but the specific situation, we don't know. Ying Ying said softly.

They are only in the acquired realm, and the affairs of the innate powerhouses of the sect are all secrets to them, and it is not easy to know these things.

"Mo Yu... Bull Ba. Jiang Han muttered to himself: "Nine innate disciples died in one sect mission? This is only a mission within the empire, how can it be so dangerous?"

He couldn't believe the news, but reason told him that it was... It's true!

In Jiang Han's mind, pictures involuntarily echoed.

In Xianyuanlou and Senior Sister Moyu's cognition, to the scenes of mutual familiarity, although the senior sister's cultivation is not high, she has a cheerful personality, as if a big sister has pointed out a lot of things to herself... I didn't know Brother Niu Ba without fighting, but I had a similar temperament and gradually became real friends...

In fact, as innate powerhouses, because they have to practice retreat with each other, there are not many time and opportunities to really communicate together, but on the long and lonely path of cultivation, being able to do so can be regarded as a precious friendship.

"This is the path of cultivation, two friends, just like that!" Jiang Han muttered to himself.

Jiang Han recalled that when he left the sect three months ago, many friends from the same sect drank wine and talked happily in the welcome hall, who would have thought that the singing and laughter at that time would be the last look back in this life?

Silently, without any warning, he died directly outside, not even in the cemetery where he mourned.

"I see... Go down, nothing special, don't bother me. Jiang Han said in a low voice, and then he walked towards the Juyuan Hall on the top of the mountain step by step.

"Mountain Lord, that banquet..."Ying Ying felt that Jiang Han's mood didn't seem right, and asked carefully.

"Cancel. ”

.....

In the Juyuan Palace, the dome was wide open, and the surging heaven and earth vitality rushed from above, making the vitality in the hall extremely rich.

Jiang Han sat cross-legged on the jade platform that calmed his heart, slowly breathing himself, and the small plate next to the jade platform was lying on his stomach in a comfortable position.

"How can this be?" Jiang Han felt that the whole person was very depressed, he still felt a little unreal, out of thin air, the two friends could never see each other again, and there was no trace of the two in the world from then on.

Closing his eyes, Jiang Han emptied his mind, hoping to calm himself down.

Time passes.

The restlessness in his heart finally subsided, and his eyes gradually returned to their former calmness.

"When entering the main hall, the lord of the Taichen Hall asked three questions. Jiang Han recalled the past.

"Ten thousand bones are buried in the green mountains, there is no one in the holy realm, and there is no turning back all the way to practice, am I ready to die?"

"When my relatives and friends die, when all those who love me and those I love die one by one, and I live alone in loneliness, am I ready?"

"Even if you really climb all the way, reach the Holy Realm, compete with the immortals, and even shine with the legendary emperor, without enemies in the world, the final outcome is still just death?"

Although Jiang Han had feelings and a firm will in the past, when everything happened here, it was still difficult for him to accept.

Everyone understands the truth, but no one can always be absolutely calm, that's not people... That's the machine!

"Father, Xi'er, one by one, gone, and now it's senior brother and sister again!" Jiang Han's heart was extremely cold, and he muttered to himself: "What about the future? Is it my mother, my sister, or my grandfather?"

"On the path of cultivation, even though there are countless paths, the end is death?"

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Is it because they have fallen?" Xiaopan's voice sounded, it felt a trace of fluctuation in Jiang Han's heart, jumped lightly, jumped into Jiang Han's arms, and looked up at Jiang Han.

"Yes. Jiang Han nodded lightly.

"Boss, I was born without a father or mother, only you, the boss, actually... I've always wanted to know who my parents were, but I had a hunch that they... They are all dead. Xiaopan said softly: "Anyone will die, there is anyone in this world who can not die, and those who die, even if we regret it, we can't change it... I can only try my best to live the rest of my life to the fullest. ”

"Every period of time in life is no different in nature, whether it is cultivation... Or sleep!"

Jiang Han had been attracted by Xiao Pan's words, and in his impression, Xiao Pan rarely said such words, but the little guy's last words made him shake his head gently, and the little guy's nature had not changed.

However, Xiaopan's words finally gave Jiang Han a little inspiration and made his mind more and more sober.

"Life needs to be lived for others, but after all, it is one's own. ”

The entire Juyuan Hall was extremely quiet.

"Cultivation is a test again and again, a lifetime of bloody fighting, want to stand at the top? Only if the soul is strong enough and tenacious enough can we overcome the many disasters in the middle!"

"How many strong people have fallen in the domain of the river? How many have died at my hands alone? They are all people who have fallen on the road, senior brother, senior sister, they are also dead, I don't know if they will regret all this. ”

"Under the stars, everything withers and prospers, and everything will eventually decay. ”

"I, Jiang Han, will eventually die! I will eventually fall! I will eventually decay! But even if I fall, it will be... Stand and fall!"
