20. Chapter XX

They went out early, when the whole village was still in a dark place, most of the people in the village were asleep, and only a few houses were faintly lit.

It was the first time for Duan Zixu and Duan Ziqian to come to the village openly, so they were a little excited along the way, Duan Zixu was fine, but he just looked around a few times, and felt that there was no difference, so he withdrew his gaze.

When he was more than two years old, he came down to the village for the first time, and was chased home by the villagers as a monster, which he still remembers.

After that, he pretended to be a little monster and jumped out to scare the villagers who went up the mountain.

This time, he was able to appear in the village as a normal person, although not many people saw it, but he couldn't help but run and jump around, and all kinds of cheers jumped.

Duan Qishan didn't restrain him and let him mess around.

When the three of them came to the ancestral hall next door to the village chief's house, they found that at this time, Zhixin and Duan Wenli were already standing outside the ancestral hall waiting.

When they saw Duan Qishan coming over, they were still carrying two five or six-year-old boys, both of them were taken aback, and after asking, they learned that these two little boys were the twins born back then, and they were even more shocked, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

Fortunately, Duan Zixu and Duan Ziqian were both very well educated by Duan Qishan, and they were not afraid of life when they saw strangers for the first time, and after greeting respectfully, Duan Zixu stood quietly on the side, looking well-behaved and smart.

And Duan Ziqian sweetly called "grandpa" and "uncle" when he saw people, which made Duan Wenli particularly fond of him, and when he treated him, he was softer than his own grandson, and he smiled very kindly.

After saying hello, Duan Qishan followed behind the two village chiefs and entered the Duan family ancestral hall.

He took his two sons, knelt in front of the tablet of the Duan family in the ancestral hall, first kowtowed three times, and the old village chief Duan Wenli publicly reported the names, birth dates, personalities and other information of the two children publicly, and then put on three incense sticks, which was regarded as the end of worshipping the ancestors.

After worshipping, Duan Qishan walked to his father's tablet and knelt down.

In his life, over the years, he has only entered the ancestral hall three times.

The first time was when he was six years old, his father took him by the hand and brought him in, and asked him to promise in front of his ancestors that he would be a good person who was worthy of the heavens and the earth, the earth, and the dawn of the people.

And this sentence, he will keep in mind for the rest of his life.

The second time, after he returned home, the old village chief Duan Wenli took him in, he knelt in front of his ancestors, grateful to his ancestors for their blessings, let him fight on the battlefield for more than ten years, and after thousands of battles of all sizes, he was still alive and came back intact.

The third time, after he held a banquet and became a parent, he brought his new daughter-in-law Yu'er and came in together.

So many years have passed since the last time he entered the ancestral hall.

Yu'er didn't really die back then, but left without a trace, but this time, he came here with two grown children.

The ancestral hall of the Duan family, after more than 20 years, does not seem to have changed in the slightest, and it is still the same as in memory.

But he had grown up, an adult, and grew old.

Duan Qishan looked at his father and mother, as well as the tablet of his daughter-in-law Duan Yu'er, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and prayed to his father and mother and ancestors in his heart.

I pray that this time I will go to the immortal cultivation realm to be safe and peaceful, save my life, and let him watch his two children grow up and take charge of themselves, so that he can also leave with peace of mind.

Duan Qishan knelt for a long time, the two children were so young that they didn't know what separation and homeland were, but at this moment, they were honestly kneeling behind him.

It wasn't until Duan Qishan stood up that they followed suit.

At this time, the time was not early, most of the people in the village got up early, and they didn't know who they learned the news that Duan Qishan was leaving the village, so no matter how close he was to Duan Qishan in the past, he put down the matter at hand at this moment, took some small things with him, and hurried to the outside of the ancestral hall of the village.

They waited for a while, but they didn't talk to each other.

After Duan Qishan and the two children finished kneeling and worshipping, they walked out of the ancestral hall and saw this scene of farewell.

Duan Qishan's heart was hot, and he chatted with the people in the village, although he told the truth, but there were waves in the village.

But when he left, the villagers couldn't help but wipe their eyes, and sent the things they had prepared to Duan Qishan's arms, and when they saw that Duan Qishan couldn't take it, they put it in the arms of the two children.

Although the villagers felt incomprehensible and despised by his words that he wanted to cultivate the immortal realm, they were used to such a day when the sun rose and the sun set to rest, speaking of which, Duan Qishan's character was really unique in the village.

Duan Qishan said goodbye to Duan Wenli, and when he saw that the other party's eyes were wet again, he didn't say anything more, and turned around and left with the two children.

Behind him, there was the sound of gossip muttering from the people in the village, and beside him, there was Duan Ziqian's screams of joy.

Duan Qishan said in his heart: He finally left, leaving the village where he had lived for more than seven years.

This time, if God blesses him, I only hope that before he dies, he can take his two children and arrive at the immortal cultivation realm safely.

If it is really fate, he still wants to see Yu'er again, not for anything else, but he hopes to see Yu'er live well with his own eyes, and he will die without regrets.

Duan Qishan looked up at the morning sun and Caixia, said goodbye to this piece of pure land with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and went to the wider world.
