Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 4 Returning Home

Wu Xie drove the sword light and galloped in the air, not stopping for a moment.

It wasn't until Shaoguang Zhenren asked him if he had anything else he wanted that he suddenly woke up and remembered that the two elders in the family were nearly half a hundred years old.

He hadn't cared about this before, because his subconscious was still inferring from his experience of life on Earth. In countries where the average life expectancy is around 70 years old, people of this age are often still working when they are close to 50 years old, except for some special types of work or physical factors.

But this world is different, the average life expectancy here is probably only forty years old or even less, fifty-year-old people have already stepped into the twilight of life, and many people who used to look healthy will age rapidly from this time. With good maintenance and good luck, you may be able to live to be in your sixties or even seventies. But for the average person, at this age, it's time to think about the future.

If it weren't for Shaoguang Zhenren's reminder that Wu Xie would concentrate on cultivation, it would probably take at least another three or five years before he would be released, and if the second elder was not in good health at that time, he might already be gone.

That's often the way things happen in the world. While the children are working hard and want to chase their ideals and strive for a better life, the parents who raised them are slowly aging in places they don't pay attention to, with gray hair and rickety figures.

Maybe one day, when they finally have a successful career and can take a breath with peace of mind, they look back, but they can't see the figure of the second elder, only the two piles of loess that accompany each other.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.

In Wu Jie's previous life, the people in the world were relatively lucky, and when they had a successful career, they often had time to fulfill their filial piety to their parents.

Wu Xie himself was also lucky, he was reminded and supported by the elders of his master, and he could go home in time to fulfill his filial piety.

Recalling the scene when he set off, he suddenly woke up, only to remember that the second elder's temples already had gray hair, and remembered the reluctance in the eyes of the second elder when he was about to leave home to seek immortals.

Before he knew it, tears blurred his eyes, and Edgeworth's flight became faster and faster.

If a monk wants to fly with his own mana alone, he must have the cultivation of the Gang Realm. But if you have the right magic weapon, you can refine the realm - of course, you can't fly too high, and you can't fly too fast.

The cultivators were able to travel thousands of miles in and out of the Qingying Immortal every day, no matter what difficulties and dangers could not hinder them, and they could fly from one end of the land of Kyushu to that end in two days. However, the monks of the Hundred Refining Realm fly with magic weapons, often no more than a hundred feet above the ground, and only travel two or three thousand miles a day, and when they encounter the continuous mountains of 100,000 mountains, the highest place that reaches into the sky, they have no way to fly over from above, so they can only either venture through the mountains, or honestly detour.

Although Wu Xie was in a hurry to go home to fulfill his filial piety, he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he honestly bypassed the 100,000 Mountains and went east to the sea, and then went north again along the coastline.

When it was dark, he was resting outside a small seaside village near the border with South Vietnam.

The true qi of the hundred cultivators is long, and Wu Xie is the best among them. He has the Fire Eye as a support, and if necessary, he can also extract mana from the Heavenly Book World Realm, even if he flies for a few days and nights in one go.

But flying is casting spells, and casting spells consumes the mind. His mind wasn't strong enough to last that long.

The more anxious you are, the more you have to be calm. Trekking long distances is not an easy task, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

Of course, he will not eat and sleep in the open air, but choose to go to the Heavenly Book World to rest - there are better conditions for not choosing, instead of enduring hardships, either he is honing his will, or his brain is in water.

Wu Jie's mental state is very normal, and he doesn't plan to learn the ascetic lifestyle for the time being, so of course he will choose to sleep in a soft and warm bed.

Since he entered the Dao, the speed at which the Heavenly Book World Realm has accumulated source power has been much faster than before, so it is not as difficult to use as before. Wu Xie generously built a house for Jasmine and himself, which were located on two separate pieces of land.

Jasmine's land was a lush vegetable garden, and there was a hut next to the garden. Wu Jie's land has no open space, only two adjacent rooms, a bedroom and a quiet room.

Jasmine didn't have any requirements for her room, and the vegetable patch was just ordinary vegetables, but she was so powerful that she could ripen all the vegetables in the entire vegetable patch with a single spell, even if she wanted greens taller than a human or a radish that could dig a hole for people to sleep in.

Wu Jie's room is a bit special, the bedroom is not enough, the concentration of heaven and earth vitality in that quiet room is extremely high, and even the quiet room of Xianshan is inferior.

This was his most important cultivation place, and it was precisely because of this cultivation holy place that was enough to make the eyes of cultivators in the world dripping red with blood that he was able to make such tremendous progress in just three years.

Wu Xie also built an alchemy room and a refining workshop under the guidance of Jasmine, but they were still just empty shelves, and neither the alchemy furnace nor the tools for refining were prepared.

Those things cost a lot of source power, and there is no need to make them right now unless they are really needed.

He also built two special spiritual platforms, which usually stored true qi and mana, and could be extracted urgently when needed. Because the source is himself, there will be no obstacles and stagnation in use, as if he has an endless source of power.

Up to now, the true qi and mana stored in the spirit platform are almost more than a hundred times that of his own. With the strength of these reserves, he was confident that he would defeat any cultivator below the Refining Gang realm head-on!

It was a pity that the ball of light condensed by the remnant soul of the Holy Heavenly Maiden's predecessor was still sleeping in the Divine Spring, although she could feel that the vitality inside was slowly recovering, it would probably be a long time before she could be resurrected.

This is probably the only fly in the ointment in the entire construction process of the Heavenly Book World in these years.

After a peaceful night, Wu Jie, who was refreshed, set off again, flew into the air with sword light, and flew towards the north.

He did not go deep into the open sea, but simply flew along the coastline so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. But even so, while passing by an extremely remote beach, he was alerted by a giant turtle with a dragon head and sprayed several water arrows at him.

"What a guts! How dare you provoke us! Hack him to death! Jasmine yelled angrily, "this guy!" Then find out its nest and hack all its children and grandchildren to death! Stew together into turtle soup! ”

"I'm not available right now." Wu Xie stopped her roar with a word, but told her to write down the location on the map.

Although he was not hit, he was attacked for some reason, and he was also annoyed in his heart. On the way back to the master after completing filial piety, you must definitely communicate with this unreasonable giant tortoise!

Well, if this guy doesn't know each other well, he wouldn't mind stewing some turtle soup for everyone to try!

This small episode did not prevent Wu Xie from hurrying, he kept heading north, bypassing the mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, and by the afternoon, he was already in the same port where he had left the Chu State with the clay.

When he was still a country boy, the State of Chu was in his impression as the "Great Chu State", and when his horizons gradually broadened, the State of Chu became the "Eastern Chu State" or "Southern Chu State". Both of these speak of its geographical location, as it is located in the southeast of Kyushu.

In contrast, the positioning of the Great Viet Kingdom is very clear, and only the word "South Vietnam" is really simple and clear.

Sitting in the restaurant where they had the last hometown meal before they set off, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

When they set off from here together and went to Nanyue by sea, who would have thought that just four years later, they would have become immortals in the eyes of ordinary people, who could fly tens of thousands of miles with sword light, and fly back to the motherland directly from Nanyue without any means of transportation?

Then...... Even the most optimistic estimates have never imagined such a thing!

Maybe it was because he drank half a pot of rice wine, or maybe because he was in a really good mood, he was a little fluttery when he flew next, and only determined a general direction when he flew, but when it was getting late, he found that he had taken the wrong path and had flown over.

"Fourth, I think you're a little carried away......"

In the face of Du Ruo's criticism, Wu Xie turned around with an embarrassed smile and flew back to his hometown.

Because of such a delay, by the time he came to Anfeng County, it was almost completely dark.

It is not convenient to walk in the dark, but fortunately, Wu Xie has night vision. It's just that he rarely goes to the county seat, and after going out for four years, he is somewhat unfamiliar with the roads in the county - or he has never been familiar with this place at all - and it took a little time to find the Wu family pharmacy.

The former Wangjia Pharmacy and later the Wujia Pharmacy have now been renamed "Jishitang". Two mighty stone unicorns stand on either side of the vermilion lacquer gate, and the copper rings on the door are obviously often rubbed by people, and the light is bright.

The plaque hanging outside the gate has no words, but a large seal is stamped after the year name of the Great Chu Emperor, and the bright words "Emperor" on the big seal are enough to blind the dogs of officials from all walks of life; The inscription of the ironwood couplet, "Nanhua Shen Yi", can make the Jianghu people who want to cause trouble weigh whether they are enough and whether they can withstand the Broken Water Divine Sword, even if it is just a casual blow.

It can be seen that when Wu Xie is not at home, the family should have a good life.

He smiled, raised his hand to hold the brass ring, and patted it lightly.

"It's coming, it's coming!" A powerful voice came, and then the door quickly opened, and Jon, dressed in teal silk, stepped out.

"Where's the patient?" He asked.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask; "Where are the patients?"

"No patient, what are you knocking on!" Jon was suddenly a little angry, "If a friend from the rivers and lakes comes to visit, at least you should report a name!" ”

Wu Xie couldn't help but laugh: "Old Qiao, why don't you even know me?" I've only been away from home for four years! ”

Jon reacted at this time, looked at him carefully, and finally determined that this young man in green clothes was Wu Jie.

"Huh? Could it be the second young master? But your appearance hasn't changed at all! ”

"I've cultivated to become an immortal."

So Jon stayed there, and after a long time he jumped up and ran into the house, shouting as he went, "Master! Madam! The second young master is back! The second young master is back! ”

His voice was so loud, if Wu Xie hadn't cast a spell in time to cut off the sound, I was afraid that half of Anfeng County would be able to hear it.

Wu Xie shook his head with a smile, walked into the door, and then closed the door himself.

Jon, this guy...... People in their thirties, why are they so shabby......

He walked towards the house, and when he walked through the pharmacy lobby, he saw his parents hurrying over with Jon by his side. I heard their voices from afar: "Ah Xie is back?" Where is he! ”

Wu Jie's eyes suddenly turned red, and he came to the second elder in a flash, and knelt down.

"Unfilial child Wu Jie, meet your father!"
