Chapter 374

Terran, Anning County.

This small county town with only a few hundred households is located in the south of the Terran Middle Domain, the county seat is slightly dilapidated, and now the sun is shining, but not many people walk through the city gates.

Ye Xi looked at this small broken county, slightly stunned, raised his head to look at Ye Ling, but found that Ye Ling was also looking at him, Ye Xi smiled and lowered his head a little shyly.

Ye Ling smiled secretly in his heart, this little guy still looked lawless when he was a child, how could he still be timid and shy when he grew up, "You have been in Longhu Mountain for the past ten years?"

Yexi nodded her little head, "Yes, it's just that Grandpa Gan has always been sloppy and doesn't want to pay attention to me." ”

Ye Ling nodded thoughtfully, although Gan Jue, a sloppy Taoist priest, is dedicated to his granddaughter, but he can't do it, the old Taoist priest can't take care of people, Ye Ling lowered his head and looked at the young son of Emperor Xi, it seems that the character of this little guy is

was pressed out by us, the old Taoist priest on Longhu Mountain ignored it, Xuanyi has been guarding the emperor pass, and Yeling has been missing for nearly ten years.

No one has ever loved her, no wonder Nightlight has become what it is now.

Looking at the little guy's big eyes with anticipation, Ye Ling raised his hand and pressed his head, "This time, I'm not leaving." ”

"Hmm. The little guy nodded vigorously.

"Let's go, let's go into town. Ye Ling took the little one's little hand and walked.

"Brother Night, why are we here?" asked the little one, looking up at Ye Ling.

"This is the place where it started, and of course I have to come back and see it. Ye Ling smiled, her voice trembling.

This is where it all began.

Twenty-four years ago, Ye Ling lived here, with his sister Ye Chen, but now his sister is missing, and the people around him are constantly disappearing.

Walking into Anning County, Ye Ling followed the familiar and unfamiliar road and found the mansion where he had lived for ten years.

The house without a plaque has been slightly dilapidated because of years of disrepair, but the dilapidated is not serious, this mansion is the ancestral property of the Ye Clan's imperial family, and there are people who clean it from time to time on weekdays, but the imperial family has disappeared for nearly ten years, this

The house was also lifeless, Ye Ling looked at the mottled vermilion lacquer gate, and then looked at the wall next to the gate.

"It's been all these years—"

Ye Ling let out a long sigh.

"Young man, this house—" An old woman stood up from the door next to her, her voice hoarse and old, she had lived here all her life, and she knew that this house belonged to a pair of brothers and sisters, a long time ago,

The brother and sister disappeared, and the old woman survived from middle age to old age, but she didn't wait for the brother and sister to come back.

Ye Ling turned her head, looked at the old woman's face, sighed, and said with great emotion, "Aunt Li, are you old too?"

"Who can not grow old? The old woman first smiled bitterly, then stared at her cloudy eyes, walked slowly in front of Ye Ling, and stared at Ye Ling carefully for a long time, "You-"

This face of the old woman just felt familiar, twenty-four years ago, Ye Ling was still a little boy in his teens, so many years have passed, I can only vaguely see the appearance of the year, hesitated for a long time, the old woman called softly, "Ye Ling?

”

Yeling looked very happy and took the old woman's hand, "It's me, Aunt Li, do you remember that Chen'er and I often went to your house for dinner." ”

"Are you really Ye Ling?" the old woman's cloudy eyes widened, and she stretched out her hand to caress Ye Ling's face, "... Okay, it's good to come back, didn't Yechen come back with you?"

Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, "Chen'er is still outside, I'll come back and take a look first." With that, Ye Ling pushed Ye Xi out behind him, "Xiao Xi, it's Grandma Li." ”

"Hello Grandma Li. Yexi shouted, her voice was soft and glutinous, very cute, the old woman turned around, took the little guy's hand, touched the little head, and praised it for a long time.

After a long time, the old woman raised her head and looked at Ye Ling, "This is your child?"

Ye Ling is funny, calculating his age, he is already thirty-eight years old, if he has a child, he will be as old as Ye Xi, no wonder the old woman will misunderstand, Ye Ling shook his head and said, "It is the child of one of my elders, and it can be regarded as my younger brother."

。 ”

The old woman shook her head regretfully, "Why aren't you your child? ”

The old woman crossed her fingers and calculated, probably because she felt that Ye Ling was not angry, the old woman glared at Ye Ling, "There are more than thirty people, and you are not married, and you came back with your daughter-in-law?"

Ye Ling thought of the obedient woman, and was slightly stunned, "She passed away." ”

"Ah-" The old woman exclaimed, and glanced at Ye Ling apologetically, "You can't live in this house for a short time, come here today?"

Ye Ling nodded and patted Ye Xi, "Thank you, Grandma Li." ”

"Thank you, Grandma Li. Yexi screamed obediently.

"Okay, good!" the old woman took Yexi's little hand and approached her house.

In the evening, Ye Ling ate a worldly dish after a long absence, only tasted a mouth full of bitterness and sadness like a different world, the little guy Yexi didn't feel anything, the meal was delicious, and Grandma Li was also very good to him.

"Brother Zhang. After eating, Yeling and the old woman's son Zhang Xian sat in the courtyard chatting.

Zhang Xian looked at Ye Ling's face, and then looked at his calloused hands, a little restrained, calculating his age, his playmate at this hour is not much younger than himself, he is past the age of confusion, and his face has climbed into a ravine,

Why isn't this playmate old?

Watching Ye Ling's face is only two decades old, he has a deep cultivation, and he has the art of rejuvenating his face, and all those who practice will rejuvenate his face, but some people like to pretend to be tender, and some people follow age, and Ye Ling's face has not changed since he was seventeen years old

, so the old woman can recognize Ye Ling with her vague memory.

"Brother Ye, won't you leave when you come back this time?" Zhang Xian just harvested the grain today, and the young man sitting next to him is his son, who is nineteen years old this year, but it seems that Ye Ling is younger, this guy

Zi looked at Ye Ling, and only felt incredible, he had such a young uncle, and at first thought that it was just that he was of higher seniority, and never thought that this uncle who looked like he was still young was thirty-eight years old this year.

"I'm not leaving. Ye Ling smiled and pointed to the mansion next door, "From now on, I will live there." ”

"The house was cleaned a few years ago, but it's dilapidated now. Zhang Xian shook his head, with some emotion, this house is said to have been cleaned for a long time, and it has been cleaned all the time, but it has not been cleaned in recent years, and Yeling suddenly returned

Come, obviously the family had to return here, Zhang Xian thought about it or didn't ask.

Ye Ling nodded, looking a little lost, and immediately pointed to Zhang Xian's son, "I didn't expect your son to be so old." ”

"I'm in my forties, and it's normal for my son to be so old. Zhang Xian grinned, "It's you, you didn't even bring back a daughter-in-law, you have a good skin." ”

Ye Ling smiled bitterly and didn't answer, Zhang Xian was stunned, and wanted to slap himself a few times, asking what kind of question was this.

However, Zhang Xian's son was clever enough, and he hurriedly changed the topic, and he didn't end up too embarrassed.

"Brother Night, can't you clean with mana?" Ye Xi was cleaning a room in the shabby clothes of Zhang Xian's son next door, and was rubbing his little arm and shouting tired.

Ye Ling poked his head out of the room, he was pulling weeds on the house, "Don't pretend, you can still be tired with such a little work?"

Ye Xi pouted, "If you don't use mana, you're tired." ”

After Ye Ling threw down the grass on the roof, he jumped down and rubbed Ye Xi's little face, "After you clean this house, we will go to Grandma Li's house." ”

"Really?" Ye Xi's little eyes rolled, probably feeling that her attitude had changed too much, the little guy held his head and squinted his eyes and secretly glanced at Ye Ling.

This little guy. Ye Ling was amused by him, looked at the things in the house, and clapped his hands, "This is not something that can be done in a day, we can just clean up the room we live in tonight." ”

"Brother Night, why don't you use mana, if you use mana, pop, smack, smack!" the little guy exaggerated and screamed with a gesticulating gesture.

"Clean it yourself, this house also has a little more human touch. Ye Ling sighed, "You haven't experienced the world, and you don't understand this human touch, but you can almost understand it." ”

"Hurry up and clean up!" Ye Ling urged, "Grandma Li said that she made a big meal today!"

"Okay!" the little guy simply agreed, twisting his ass and going into the house to clean.

After dinner at Grandma Li's house, Yexi accompanied Grandma Li for a long time, and was finally dragged back by Yeling, this little guy is really disobedient, it was okay a few days ago, but recently it has become more and more skinny.

"Don't sleep!" Ye Ling looked at the dozing Ye Xi, stretched out his hand and patted it, "The ancient emperor passed on your "Great Sun Wheel Sutra" that you have to practice well, I look at your cultivation, have you been lazy in the past ten years." ”

"No. Yexi pouted and muttered quietly.

"Still talking back. Ye Ling didn't laugh angrily, "You practice for one night, and after dawn, go to the roof to absorb the morning light, the plan of the day lies in the morning, not in vain." ”

"Yes. ”

Ye Ling shook his head, "It's not to force you, now you also know how chaotic it is here, practice hard, if you can protect yourself, I won't worry." ”

Yexi muttered, "Just force me." ”

"You, little bastard-" Ye Ling raised his hand, ready to fight, "If the human race is not chaotic, if the imperial clan is still here, I will naturally not force you, I will satisfy you whatever you want, but now I can't." ”

"What do you think of Xuanyi?" Ye Ling asked suddenly.

"Little Senior Brother!" Ye Xi shouted, "Little Senior Brother is very powerful, even more powerful than you, he is good to me, and he doesn't force me to cultivate." ”

Ye Ling glanced at Ye Xi, "Little bastard, Xuan Yi is so powerful and died in battle, we are powerful, the enemy will be more ferocious, and I can't protect you for a lifetime, so being strong is the biggest guarantee, I hope."

You have become holy, even ascended to the Heavenly Realm and became the Supreme Emperor like your father. ”

"It's still up to you. ”

When Ye Xi saw Ye Ling talking about his father, the little guy jumped out of bed and shook Ye Ling's arm, "Brother Ye, I'm just cultivating, don't be angry." ”

"You're not cultivating for me. Ye Ling paused, "If you don't want to cultivate, don't cultivate, as long as I'm alive, you'll be fine." ”

The little guy shook his head violently, "I cultivate for myself. Suddenly, the little guy gritted his teeth, "I want to avenge Brother Xuanyi!"

Ye Ling was stunned, stretched out his hand and rubbed the little guy's head, "It's not your turn to avenge Xuanyi, I'm not dead yet!"

"Brother Night, I'm going to cultivate. ”

Ye Ling nodded, watching the little guy climb into bed, with his heart turned to the sky, his eyes closed, and he really looked a little bit.

Ye Ling smiled and closed her eyes.

The next day, Ye Ling Yu Yin restrained his breath at three moments, pushed open the door and walked out, looking at the sky that had just spit out a little white, Ye Ling stretched.

I was about to tell the little guy to get up and absorb the essence of vitality, but I heard a commotion outside.

Ye Ling frowned, hesitated, and called Ye Xi up to let him absorb the aura by himself, while Ye Ling pushed open the door to see what was going on outside.
