"Child, how are you doing all these years?" The old man tried his best to control his tone, but he was still a little trembling, and his expression was terrified and worried.

Until this moment, Zhao Yi's eyes were hot, and he finally couldn't bear it, rushed to this grandfather who met for the first time, hugged him tightly, and felt the old man's thin but warm body, as well as the intimacy of the old man's blood.

This kind of breath that can only be felt in the long-missing mother makes Zhao Yi's chest hot.

"Kid!" The old man smiled with satisfaction and gently patted Zhao Yi's broad back, looking charitable and happy.

"Master...... Grandfather! Zhao Yi's trembling voice muttered, "My dad...... He is long gone! ”

"Uh-huh!" Zhao Yi clearly felt the old man's body shaking violently, his breathing was panting like a bellows, and he seemed to be about to fall down if he couldn't support it several times.

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and hugged him tighter and tighter. At that moment, the old man seemed to have suddenly aged ten years old, with gray hair, a dry and thin face, a sad expression, and tears of sadness.

Although he has long doubted the life and death of his son over the years, he has always refused to admit this fact, and has never lost the hope that his son is still alive in his heart, and at this moment, the expectation that has supported him for more than ten years to survive has been cruelly shattered!

It was really a little difficult to accept this for him, and for a moment, he even thought of killing himself and going to hell to find his son.

However, feeling the fiery temperature from his grandson's arms, the old man hesitated again.

The son died, and this grandson was his last relative, could he just abandon this child so cruelly and let his grandson feel the pain of losing his relatives once?

Death is just an escape, he still has concerns, he can't just die irresponsibly, he still has a grandson......

The old man shook his head, his expression became resolute again, but his face was still full of tears, he took a deep breath, and said softly: "Child, sue me for this qiē......"

……

The night has arrived, the moon hangs high, and the starry sky is bright.

Outside the stone cave, the white-haired old man leaned against the stone wall, looking at the vast night sky with a pair of cloudy old eyes, and his face was full of gloom.

The cool breeze blew, and the old man quietly watched the stars in the sky, and muttered: "I want to be Zhao Liansheng for the first time, but in the end, I didn't even save my son's life!" What an irony! ”

"Everyone in the world seeks to cultivate the truth, they all want to live forever, but how do you know that immortality is boring, if everyone dies in thousands of years, then you are the only one left in this world, even if you are immortal, what is the meaning! It's just a dream of Nanke! ”

"Why don't you live up to those who are really good to you while you still have time, and do something you love!"

"My son, if I hadn't kicked him out of the house, he wouldn't have died!"

"Alas! In my life, I have cultivated the Tao without success, my wife and children are scattered, and I have achieved nothing! ”

The old man let out a gloomy sigh and was speechless for a long time.

Everyone in the world knows about martial artists, but few people know that there is such a person as a cultivator.

Above the warrior, there is the cultivator. Martial artists cultivate the true qi in the body, and cultivators go further, and what they cultivate is the true element in the body, collecting the aura of the weather, the sun and the moon.

It's just that the earth's environment has changed dramatically in the past hundred years, and it has long been unsuitable for cultivators. Many cultivators have moved, died and fled, and the many changes they have experienced have gradually disappeared from the eyes of the world.

However, there are still a small number of people who persist in continuing to pass on Taoism or guarding the passage between the two worlds, for many reasons.

I don't know why, none of the people who have reached the realm of cultivation have returned, and the passage to open the two realms is also a rare spirit stone that requires a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi to condense, and all of them have been taken away with the departing cultivators, with the thin spiritual energy that exists now, it is almost impossible to form one or two spirit stones.

The few spirit stones left have also been used up in recent years, and since then, there are no more spirit stones on the ground, and the passage between the two realms is equivalent to being cut off.

The white-haired old man Zhao Liansheng is a veritable cultivator, and his strength is not strong. Due to environmental reasons, there has been no progress in recent years, and Fan Tao, who has only just walked out of the martial arts, stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and is neither high nor low in the late stage of foundation building.

At the bottom of the monastic realm, in today's world, it can be regarded as the existence of heaven.

The old man was one of the people who insisted on staying behind, he was sent here by his master more than a hundred years ago, guarding the only remaining passage to the cultivation realm here, and he is now more than a hundred years old.

The old man married a wife at the age of 100 and gave birth to a child, Zhao Lixin, who is Zhao Yi's father. But twenty years ago, because of a conflict between the two, Zhao Lixin left the old man.

Later, Zhao Lixin came to the world, and with the strength of his grandmaster realm, he joined the army successively and became a law enforcer. not only created a famous name, but also married a beautiful girl. Although the two encountered a lot of opposition in the process, the two who loved each other still walked together, and they never regretted running away from home.

Later, the two had a child named Zhao Yi, and both of them were very happy and happy.

However, happy days are always short-lived, and the good days of the two did not last long, when they were shattered by a sudden order.

When Zhao Yi was one year old, an order came from above, which was the task of assassinating Wu Yue, a traitor who secretly came to China. As one of the principals of the law enforcers, Zhao Lixin was of course duty-bound, and personally led a pair of elite law enforcers to attack Wu Yue.

Knowing that Wu Yue's strength was extremely strong, Zhao Lixin understood that it was dangerous and abnormal, and life and death were difficult, so when he left his wife and children, it was he who introduced a stream of true qi into Zhao Yi's body, which contained Zhao Yi's body.

Although this process was a bit dangerous, Zhao Lixin still overcame the hesitation in his heart and resolutely implemented it. This is because this process is what every generation of children of their Zhao family must go through, success is life, and the potential for future generations is endless, and if it fails, it is death.

This has also become an important reference for identifying whether it is their Zhao family's children, and the reason why the old man identified Zhao Yi as his grandson is because of this reason.

The result of Zhao Lixin's attack on Wu Yue can be imagined, because of the traitor's betrayal, he sacrificed, and the next thing is clear.

Because of evading the pursuit of the enemy, Zhao Yi's mother took Zhao Yi and started their outlaw career with the help of Xiao Lei......

"Whew!"

Under the night sky, the old man let out a long breath into the moonlight, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his chest.

"Hey, old man!"

At this moment, a loud shout came from inside the cave.

"Hey! It's coming, it's coming, grandpa is coming! The old man suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly answered.

The old man immediately turned around, and the desolation and loneliness of Fang Cai were gone.

His expression was calm, with a faint hint of perseverance, as if he had suddenly become a kind old man, with a smile on his face, and he went into the stone cave.

Naturally, it is Zhao Yi who dares to call the old man like this, but he calls the old man instead of grandpa, and he has to admire the courage of this son. In his own words, he is not used to calling grandpa, and he always feels awkward, so it is more cordial to call the old man, but fortunately the old man did not bother with him.

"Old man, aren't you a cultivator, can you make a fire?"

As soon as the old man walked into the stone room, he heard Zhao Yi's curious inquiry, and immediately looked proudly: "Of course it will!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Yi smiled, then raised his hand, revealing a big fish that had been cleaned up, winked at the old man, and said, "Old man, eat grilled fish tonight, borrow fire from you!" ”

Old man: "......"

"Huh?" Zhao Yi looked at the old man suspiciously: "Old man, why is your face suddenly so dark?" ”

"Ahh The old man's minions pounced on him: "Rabbit cub, your grandfather and I have worked so hard to cultivate such a Ding Zhenyuan, you actually dare to let me give you grilled fish to eat, I'm angry, see if I don't clean up your son well!" ”

Facing the crazy old man, Zhao Yi sweated profusely in an instant, hugged the big fish and fled: "Isn't it just borrowing your fire, as for being so excited?" It's too picky......"

By the time the two of them finished eating, it was already more than half an hour later.

The two of them were shy and bulging with their bellies, lying comfortably on the big rocks, and their mouths were full of burps.

Looking at the pile of fish bones placed in front of him, the old man still looked at Zhao Yi with some unfinished eyes, and said, "Well, that fish is me, and it used to be eaten raw, but I didn't expect that after you roasted it, it tasted like a thief!" ”

The old man shook his head, patted Zhao Yi's shoulder and said earnestly: "Well, the grilled fish technique is good!" It's worthy of my grandson, and he will do this! Okay, keep working hard in the future. Grilled fish, grandpa, I have a big reward! ”

"Reward?!" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up.

"Hmmm! Then! The old man's head was another palm, and with a casual throw, a jade bottle fell straight into Zhao Yi's hand.

Directly ignoring Zhao Yi, who had a sassy face, the old man continued to explain: "You can put away this Ning Yuan Dan, it can probably help you directly break through to the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm in the Elder Realm, it was originally prepared for your father, but it didn't work!" Now I'm probably the only one in the world! ”

Zhao Yi straightened his head happily: "Mmmm! ”

The old man patted him, smiled and closed his eyes, and in a moment let out a low snoring sound.

Zhao Yi put away the elixir, glanced at the grandfather named Zhao Liansheng in front of him, and thought to himself: It seems that it is quite good to have a grandfather...... I'm really looking forward to it.,Tomorrow I can follow my grandfather to the village in the legend.,Hehe......
