Early the next morning.

When the little one woke up from his sleep, the sun was already high in the sky.

Because of the orientation of the room, the sunlight shone directly on her face through the window, and immediately reflected her little face red.

The little one rubbed his eyes, and then sat up from the bed with great difficulty.

After habitually shouting 'Dad', she looked down at Qin Ruoying on the side again.

"Mom, morning!"

The little guy greeted his mother sweetly, but Qin Ruoying still didn't respond.

She just lay quietly on the bed.

No breathing, no heartbeat, and of course even more so not moving.

If you look at it from a secular perspective......

The child actually slept with his mother's 'corpse' every day.

If you think about it, this scene is really weird, and it even gives people a chilling feeling......

OK.

The little one doesn't think so.

In her mind, her mother was just sick, a big, big illness.

Dad was busy taking care of Mom, so sometimes he ignored her.

The little one doesn't want to cause trouble for Daddy.

Therefore, she called Daddy, but Daddy did not show up for a long time.

The boy did what his father had done, pecked his mother on the cheek, and then got up from the bed himself.

Then, the little guy ran into the bathroom with a smoke, stepped on the small bench and began to wash himself.

Brushing is too much trouble, so the little one skips the process.

I wiped my face with a towel, and the washing was done.

At this time, Qin Yongyan, who had not appeared for a long time, followed Chen Xi out of the main hall.

"Grandpa, morning!"

As soon as he saw Qin Yongyan coming, the little guy came to him very crookedly, and immediately made Qin Yongyan laugh.

The three generations of grandparents gathered around the small table for breakfast, during which everything was as warm and peaceful as usual.

Chen Xi cleaned up the dining table, and then called the little guy to his side.

"Niannian, Dad wants to discuss something with you......"

"What's the matter?"

The little guy tilted his head, and his big eyes were full of doubts.

"Mom's condition has deteriorated, and Dad has to go abroad to get the best doctor for Mom......"

"But it's far away from abroad, and it's ...... dad to go"

"It may be a long, long time before I can come back......"

The little one didn't reply immediately.

She pursed her lips and looked at Chen Xi with blank eyes, as if she was still thinking about the meaning of this passage.

"Nian Nian is good, after Dad is gone, don't be afraid to ......"

"Because your mother, aunt, and grandfather are all by your side......"

"And the big cats and big heads, they will always be with you......"

"Mom and aunt are sick, they can't take care of you anymore, but grandpa can ......"

"So in the future, I will have to trouble my grandfather to cook for you and take care of your life......"

"Grandpa is old, he is not as young as his father, and he has enough energy to play with you......"

"Promise my dad that I will obediently listen to my grandfather in the future, okay?"

Chen Xi gently held Niannian in her arms and whispered a lot in her ear.

He knew that Nian Nian might not remember.

But there was no way, he still had to say these words to Nian Nian.

This is my father's reluctance, and it is also my parting instructions.

The little guy is still young, so he doesn't know what Chen Xi's words mean now.

The only thing she remembered was that-

Dad is leaving, going far, far away.

Because my mother is sick, my father has to find a way to treat my mother......

The little one knows what is important.

So even if she was a little unhappy, she didn't cry and didn't allow Chen Xi to leave, but raised her head and asked seriously, "Dad, how long are you going to leave?"

As soon as this question came out, Chen Xi was silent.

After being silent for a long time, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said to the little guy, "It won't be long before ......"

"You know, Dad has been abroad before......"

"With the experience this time, I should be able to come back soon......"

The little guy nodded as if he didn't understand.

Immediately after, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly asked, "Dad, what should I do if I miss you?"

Hearing this, Chen Xi was silent again.

Because he really didn't know how to answer.

Is it to continue the deception of good intentions?

Or is it cruel to tell the truth?

This time, I don't know when we can see each other again.

Just thinking about it is enough to make people lose their hearts.

Seeing that Chen Xi didn't answer for a long time, the little guy blinked his eyes, but he thought of a solution for himself.

"Daddy, if I miss you......"

"Then I'll give you a video call!"

"Okay?"

Looking at the little guy's expectant eyes, Chen Xi finally nodded decisively this time.

It was an idea he hadn't thought of.

With technology developing so fast, it shouldn't be difficult to simulate a real image of him and use it to coax the little guy, right?

Father and daughter whispered a lot today, from morning to afternoon.

When the sun was about to set, the little guy, under the leadership of Qin Yongyan, personally sent Chen Xi outside the door.

She cushioned her feet and took the initiative to pat Chen Xi's left and right cheeks, and then said reluctantly: "Dad, you have to come back early, I will miss you!"

"Okay, Dad promises you......"

As he spoke, Chen Xi gently left a kiss on the little guy's forehead.

The father and daughter were separated.

Chen Xi strode away, not looking back all the way.

But until his figure disappeared at the end of the alley, the little guy kept waving his little hand in the direction he left......

"Dad, come back early!"

……

After saying goodbye to the little guy and making a series of preparations, Chen Xi took Bai Hong and Shui Xiang back to that familiar place-

Karakoram.

The closest place to heaven.

Chen Xi found the ruins of the Sundial Yao Temple with his memory, and then sat down cross-legged in the center of the ruins.

This sitting......

And he sat there for three days and three nights.

It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that Chen Xi finally woke up from his meditation and took out the transmission note that Jiang Yan had given him from his arms.

This is a transmission note that can directly contact Tiandu, it is a rare inventory in ancient times, and I don't know where Jiang Yan got it.

Right now, Tiandu is preparing to build a soul bridge, no matter how turbulent the spiritual energy tide of the Nether is, it is impossible for Tiandu to extract the soul book that is being used.

Since the gate of heaven refused to open for a long time, Chen Xi had to find a way to forcibly open the gate of heaven by himself.

This transmission note becomes the key to this.

Because......

He wants to use this transmission note to locate the location of Tiandu, so as to pry open the gate of heaven.

This is also the solution that Chen Xi and Jiang Yan finally thought of after a detailed discussion.

From the moment Qin Ruoying's soul dissipated, Bai Hong was once again reduced to a prisoner.

So he could only be locked aside like Shui Xiang, staring at Chen Xi's strange behavior.

Saw......

After Chen Xi lit the talisman, he flew into the air.

Then, under the stunned expressions of the two......

Chen Xi held the Flowing Cloud Sword in his hand, mobilized the true yuan of his whole body, and slashed into the sky with a sword!

In a flash.

The mountains shook, the wind and snow trembled!

After three days of meditation, Chen Xi gathered all the true elements in his body to a point.

The moment the sword was drawn, the whole world fell silent.

Immediately after, that sword qi was getting bigger and bigger.

Every time it flew upwards, the sword qi expanded violently at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the sword qi continued to expand, it finally showed a tendency of the heavens and the earth cracking, rolling up all the snowflakes that were fluttering between the heavens and the earth, like the pillar of optimus crashing into the nine clouds!

It was only then that Bai Hong's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally understood what Chen Xi was doing.

He's going to do it on his own......

The sword opens the gate of heaven!
