Chapter 107: Time Has Passed Closely
Jian Ran and Tianzhu finally came to the sky above Immortal Abandonment City in the evening after four days of continuous flight.
The two have talked a lot these days, and in the name of exercising him, Tianzhu simply said that he would not help him at all in the future unless Jian Ran was about to die. In addition, he continued to brainwash him, making him very anxious and feeling that every second counted.
It was supposed to take eight days to travel, but it took four days to arrive, so you can imagine how much Jian Ran wanted to get things done quickly and move on to the next stage as soon as possible.
At this time, the immortal abandoned city was full of candles, and it was very lively. Since the Xingdao Sect was destroyed, Du Qiaofu led the disciples to reorganize the faΓ§ade and became a low-level sect, and they did not even have a place in the Fanliu Rookie Conference.
But Du Qiaofu didn't know what method he used, now the development of Immortal Abandoned City is more prosperous than in the past, and there are many talents, it must not take five hundred years to restore the vitality of the Dao Sect, their only pain is the spiritual veins that were destroyed back then, and they don't know when they will be able to restore them to their previous appearance.
Tianzhu opened his eyes and smiled, "Wow, it's really quite lively, there is delicious food and fun here?"
Jian Ran smiled slightly, his eyes showed a hint of treacherousness, and said, "Decades have passed, and now I don't know very well, if you say that back then, it was naturally the Moon Fox Tower, and the food and fun were all there." There's a saying that seems to say so... Entering the immortal and abandoning it as a moon fox, I don't know if it's down now. β
"That's... Then you go and be busy with yours, I'll go and see you in the Moon Fox Tower when the time comes. Tianzhu waved his hand, smelling the fragrance, and his heart couldn't wait, but he suddenly remembered something, and said with an embarrassed face, "Tsk... Hey~ Penniless, I don't know this little brother, but I can borrow millions of taels for a while, and the rivers and lakes will help me in an emergency, and he should return all of them one day. β
Jian Ran glanced at him, took out a thousand taels of cash from Qiankun's bag and said to him, "No, you should just talk less normally, remember, there are mortals below, it is forbidden to use spiritual power, you can't fly, you can't jump, you can't ......."
Dzi took a thousand taels and grinned, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do things that round, you little kid will teach me, I know what to do." With that, he flew towards a deserted place, landed quickly, and walked into the market on foot.
Jian Ran didn't say much, and came to the pawnshop in the north of the city. The door of the pawnshop was closed, apparently closed, but there was a faint candlelight blooming in the house, and it seemed that there were still people inside. He knocked lightly on the door and shouted, "Grandpa Sun, Grandpa Sun... Are you there?"
It was a woman who came to open the door, carefully pushed out a small slit, and said vigilantly, "Childe, the sun has gone down and the store has closed, if there is anything, please be early tomorrow." β
"Bang~" After she finished speaking, she closed the door.
Seeing this, Jian Ran was anxious, and knocked on the door again and again to explain, "Girl, my name is Jian Ran, and I am here to find Grandpa Sun, please tell him, he will know." β
The woman opened the door again and said, "My grandfather is not surnamed Sun, and my son may have found the wrong place." β
"Impossible, this is a pawnshop in the north of the city, right?" Jian Ran frowned and opened his mouth to confirm.
"It's true that we are a pawnshop in the north of the city, but we don't have anyone surnamed Sun here, and it's late tonight, so please go back," the woman said politely.
"Hong'er, what's going on? Who is outside the door?" An old man's voice suddenly sounded in the room, but it was not Sun Ze.
"Grandpa, it's okay... There is a son named Jian Ran, who said that he was looking for something... Grandpa Sun" called Hong'er's woman to speak.
The old man was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Hong'er, hurry... Invite him in. β
The woman let out an "oh" and opened the door.
The old man enthusiastically stepped forward, invited Jian Ran into the hall, ignored the woman's obstruction, personally served tea for Jian Ran, and said after everything was done, "Okay, good... Sure enough, it was you, who finally made me wait. I've never introduced myself. My surname is Ma, my name is Xunsan, and I am the shopkeeper here. This is my granddaughter, named Ma Hong. β
Jian Ran was puzzled, there was no such person as Ma Xunsan in his memory, and he asked suspiciously, "Shopkeeper Ma, isn't the shopkeeper here surnamed Sun?
Ma Xunsan smiled and said, "My original name is Ma Gouwen, I was the dog back then, do you remember?"
"Dogs... Dog, why are you, it's been decades, wow! Now that you're a hundred years old, I really didn't recognize you," Jian Ran said in surprise.
Ma Xunsan nodded slightly, his eyes a little moist, "You haven't changed at all, I thought I would wait for you all my life to reach the three of you, fortunately, the shopkeeper Sun was clever and took the magic pill for me, and finally let me wait, it's not easy." β
Ma Hong, who was on the side, was extremely surprised when he heard this, and looked at Jian Ran in front of him blankly and couldn't say a word. Ma Xunsan saw that she was out of shape, so he opened his mouth to break her away. Suddenly only he and Jian Ran were left in the hall.
"What are you waiting for me to do? By the way, what about Grandpa Sun? Why haven't you seen him for so long?" Jian Ran said with anticipation on her face.
Ma Xunsan sighed and shook his head slightly, got up and walked to the god seat in the hall and took out a delicate box.
Jian Ran saw that he was old and wanted to step forward to help, but he saw the word "Sun Ze" written on one of the tablets.
Ma Xunsan looked at the box, old tears slowly flowed down as if in remembrance, he opened the box, several letters were neatly arranged inside, took out one of them and handed it to him, "As you can see, the shopkeeper Sun has passed away, he is dying, and he is smiling Jiuquan's departure, so there is no need to be sad." Before he died, he kept explaining that he must hand over the letter to one of you, and after a few decades, this letter was copied by me, and the original text has long been festering and rotten, and now it is finally in your hands, and I have fulfilled the last wish of Master Sun."
Jian Ran had already wept like rain, and her heart was painful. I remember that decades ago, everyone was in this house, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. And now the eldest brother Luo Kongping has been enchanted by the devil, and he loves to slaughter the family, and he doesn't know where he is. The third brother, Xuanyuan Xiao, fled from Fanliu, far away from home, and completely lost contact. And Sun Ze even stepped into the Yellow Spring and returned to the loess.
When he thought of this, he hugged his head and cried, this pain could not be spoken, and the word heart-rending seemed insignificant.
Ma Xunsan knew that he couldn't help anything, and the only thing he could do for him was to give him space and cry. He patted him on the back, and he was also quite grateful to Sun Ze for his great kindness, and left with tears that could be seen.
Jian Ran opened the letter with trembling hands and saw it.
For the grandchildren:
When you read this letter, Grandpa Sun is no longer there, please don't feel sorry for me, life is only a hundred years, but I have gone through one hundred and forty years, you should be proud of what you say, and you don't need to feel sad for me, because I am very happy. Recently, I don't know if it's old or not.,I often think about all kinds of memories of the past.γ
Thinking of the smile back then, you were very smart back then, and the value of the things you took twice was very amazing, and you were the first pawnshop in Immortal Abandoned City, you were the first hero. When I was in my old age, you also fed me the Life-Sustaining Pill, and your filial piety Grandpa Sun received it, and he was also very pleased.
But Grandpa Sun wants to say sorry to you, Grandpa Sun has gone through half a lifetime, and he knows that the world is hot and cold. The life span of the immortal is infinite, and I have no great ambitions, just to flicker. I have redeemed the jade belt of the year as a souvenir, the books and pills you left behind are still in the warehouse, grandpa knows that cultivators, mortal things are useless to you, these things are the only thing I can keep for you.
Prawns, Grandpa Sun still remembers the first time he saw you, he was able to lift a hundred catties in his hand, and this scene still lingers in his mind. Your grandfather has paid attention to all your achievements, and among the three, you are the most filial and obedient, and you will always surprise your grandfather on the bulletin board.
Ah Niu, you are the most naughty among the three, always taking your two younger brothers around and making trouble, but you are a kind-hearted child, when I heard a joke and said that the original Huaxiang Town battle was the one who won many masters, grandpa really can't believe that you can have such strength, grandpa is happy for you, as a big brother, you must take good care of the prawns and smile.
Looking back on the past, I realized that the number one pawnshop shopkeeper in Immortal Abandoned City in my heart was nothing to me at all. The proudest thing in my life is to have your three precious golden grandchildren, and grandpa will protect you in heaven again.
Sun Ze's masterpiece....
After Jian Ran finished reading the letter left by Sun Ze, all the days in Immortal Abandoned City were put back in his mind one by one. The sadness in my heart was even deeper, and the grief was so deep that I fell to the ground, and the two lines of tears had long since dried up, but I was still choked up, and I wanted to cry without tears.
It wasn't until late at night that the crying slowly subsided, and after coming to the warehouse and taking away everything, he left the pawnshop. This time, he didn't lose it for too long, but turned his sadness into strength, knowing that Sun Ze's most precious thing was his three brothers, and what happened to the three of them at present must be the last thing he wanted to see.
Jian Ran completely ignored all the mortals, and flew to the sky above the Moon Fox Tower alone and shouted, "Dzi, it's time for us to leave."
