Chapter 282: Passing Water

The angry dragon is galloping, overwhelming the mountains and seas, pushing the peaks and cracking the veins, and the whistling sound is shaking the sky. The surging water of the Yellow River, destroying the withering and decaying, leaping thousands of miles and rolling the yellow waves, rumbling and roaring and shaking the earth.

The former Yellow River, the familiar surging yellow water, a giant dragon rushing into the sea!

How many times have I dreamed of the Yellow River, how many times have I dreamed of returning to my hometown, Xiao Chen stood on the bank of the Yellow River, his black hair was flying, covering his resolute cheeks, and he let out a long roar, and the shaking Yellow River water rolled up thousands of waves, and the dragon was roaring, pouring thousands of miles and rushing into the distance.

Looking into the distance, the incomparably familiar land was full of intoxicating aura, as if there was a magic calling Xiao Chen, he soared into the sky, flying quickly above the sky, with only one goal, that is, a small village on the bank of the Yellow River.

When he got closer, he really saw the familiar mountains and ravines, this was not a dream, Xiao Chen realized that he had really returned to the immortal realm.

I never thought that I would come back like this, and I did penance day and night, just to return to the world one day, how many times I dreamed of it, how many times I woke up in disappointment, I can't think of it...... After working hard for so many years, he was finally swallowed up by a space "sea eye".

So...... Opportunity!

Smiled bitterly, helpless, but more excited, the hand of fate, it was so unpredictable, it led him so much to realize his dream.

Closer, closer again, flying all the way along the Yellow River, he finally came to the familiar hometown, looking at the land from afar, Xiao Chen's heart fluctuated, his eyes were blurred, but there were no tears to flow, he wanted to yell out, but his throat seemed to be blocked.

Desire to speak...... But he was speechless.

Landed on the banks of the Yellow River. Xiao Chen walked forward step by step, along the loess road, towards the small village a few miles away.

On the side of the loess road, the huge bluestone carries a lot of childhood memories, he once climbed up and down with his childhood friends, and this is the settlement of children in the village after dinner, every time they go to the Yellow River to play, catch fish, and swim. It's all gathered here.

There are also ancient trees on the side of the loess road, which were planted by his grandfather's grandfather's generation, and now they are intertwined, tall and vigorous, like a dragon. The old branches pull out a little new leaves, and this is a place where the old people like to live.

The air is filled with the smell of earth, mixed with bursts of grass, full of hope in spring, Xiao Chen loves this season, it was so in the past, it is still so, this season always gives people a feeling of hope.

arrived, and finally arrived at the entrance of the village. Rows of willow trees in front of you are flying, like snowflakes flying.

The yellow-green tender grass, the soft willows of the flying flocculents, the new green in the fields, everything is full of local atmosphere, everything is so familiar, everything is so kind.

Rows of simple houses were hidden behind the weeping willows, and Xiao Chen's eyes gradually blurred.

There is a village entrance. A pair of gray-haired old men were walking towards each other, looking at the end of the loess road.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain, how many times have he dreamed of such a scene in the Immortal Realm, the white-haired parents stood desolate at the entrance of the village, lonely in their old age, holding on to that bit of hope, looking at the dirt road in front of the village. Looking forward to the return of the wanderer who has been away for several years.

Every time he dreamed of such a scene, Xiao Chen would wake up from the dream, and every time he would feel the corners of his eyes moist.

Xiao Chen rushed forward quickly, and a puff of smoke and dust blew up on the loess road.

"Morning ......"

An old voice came from ahead, one full of doubt and disbelief.

Xiao Chen immediately stopped his figure, it wasn't his parents, there seemed to be something wrong in the village. It's almost noon. But it was silent, as if there was no life at all.

He wiped away the tears that had blurred his eyes. Looking ahead, the gray-haired old man turned out to be his uncle and grandmother, his father's uncle and aunt.

"Uncle......"

"Chenzi is really you?!" The two old men staggered, their white hair was like snow, and they scrambled forward a few steps and grabbed Xiao Chen's arm.

"It's me, I'm back. Xiao Chen tried his best to calm down, hugged the two old men, and said, "What happened in the village, my parents and their ...... They?"

The two old men were nearly eighty years old, their skin was wrinkled like a dry orange peel, and their bodies were even more skinny, they trembled and groped Xiao Chen's cheeks, pinched Xiao Chen's palms hard, and said, "It's Chenzi...... It's really Chenzi. ”

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" the old man sighed, and said, "It's been eight years, it's been eight years!"

Yes, Xiao Chen has been away from the human realm for eight years, trapped on Dragon Island for one year, cultivated in the Pure Land of the Barbarian and Forest Clans for three years, spent four years in the Ancient God Desert, more than eight years have passed, he was twenty years old when he left the human realm, and he was twenty-eight years old when he returned again.

"Child, your parents have been very depressed all these years, looking forward to it every year, looking forward to it every day, every evening they will support each other to come to the entrance of the village, looking at the dirt road in front of the village, hoping that you will come back!" Speaking of this, the two old men sighed, poked Xiao Chen's forehead hard, and said: "You ruthless baby, it will be eight years and eight years when you leave! For the old man, how many eight years? Their hair is gray......

Tears flowed down Xiao Chen's cheeks, and he slapped his two mouths hard, saying, "It's me who is wrong, it's me who is wrong!"

The two old men grabbed his hand and said, "I think you have a hard time, otherwise why wouldn't you come back." Don't worry, your parents are still there, but ...... Alas!"

"What's wrong, what's going on?" Xiao Chen's sword eyebrows stood up at that time.

"It's still the previous morning, as soon as you stand up, the gangsters in ten miles and eight villages will be honest for ten days and half a month, and their momentum will not decrease. The two old men sighed, "But this time...... It's not the neighborhood's bullying, it's the state religion of Kyushu that is making waves. It is mandatory for all men, women and children in the village, even the 50-year-old and teenage children, to go to the upper reaches of the Yellow River to build a huge project, saying that it is to build the ancestral dragon platform, and there is also a theory that the Shimen Tongtian Death Bridge is being built......"

"Until now. There are only old people like us who are waiting to enter the coffin, as well as some children under the age of ten, who are doing evil. The two old men were angry and anxious, and said, "Many people died during the construction of the Rausch project. In the past, only your parents watched from afar at the entrance of the village, but now every dusk, old people in their seventies and eighties come here to look at the loess road, afraid that their children will not return. I'm afraid that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person. ”

"My Parents ......"

"Your parents also have to build that ancestral dragon platform every day, or the ghost thing called the Death Bridge to the sky, and no one in the village is in their fifties. ”

"Damn!" Xiao Chen's eyes shot out two dazzling rays of light, and the materialized edge shattered a willow tree next to him.

The two old men next to him were stunned, grabbed him and said, "Child...... Don't mess around. Uncle knows that you know martial arts, but you can't fight against the government, otherwise it will cause a big disaster to our village. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't act recklessly, I'll go upstream and have a look. ”

"No!" The two old men hugged his arms stiffly, for fear that he would mess around, which made Xiao Chen very helpless, and said, "I really won't cause trouble, I just came back." I just want to see my parents first. ”

"Now that the sun is setting, they should already be on their way without you going. Don't worry, your parents will be fine, they are so kind on weekdays, and because of your sudden disappearance, the people in the village are very sympathetic and take care of them. Even if you go to the embankment. There is no need to do heavy work or tiring work. ”

It can be seen that the two old men are very afraid of the so-called state religion in Kyushu, for fear that Xiao Chen will cause trouble and bring great trouble to the village.

Xiao Chen felt very strange, in the past, there had never been a state religion, and after some inquiry, he learned that this state religion had only been sealed in the past two years. In an instant, he became the head of the sect in the world. It is said that there are immortal immortals in the sect who once called for wind and rain in the palace with ** force, sprinkled beans into soldiers, and even summoned heavenly soldiers and generals, which was deeply convinced by the emperor.

The sun was indeed about to go down, and he didn't want to disobey the two old men in front of him, Xiao Chen was accompanied by them. Returned to his home after eight years.

Seem...... It has never changed. Everything in the courtyard was the same as before, as if he had only been away for a moment.

Push open the door of his own room. The sheets were clean, the quilts were neatly folded, and the desks and wooden chairs were dusty, just as they were when he left. Xiao Chen's nose was sour, he knew that this must be the daily cleaning and maintenance of his mother, who loved to tidy up the house.

The mother of the child is worried!

It shows how much his mother misses him.

When I came to my parents' house, it was still as tidy as before. Inadvertently, he saw a few small wooden knives and small wooden swords next to the pillow, which were ...... Xiao Chen felt that his eyes were full of mist.

He liked to dance and play with swords since he was a child, this is the ground that his father carved out for him, and when he grew up, these were all received in the wing, and he didn't want to ...... now. was put on the pillow by his parents.

It's missing!

His parents missed him deeply, and they were always looking forward to his return, so they found all his childhood playthings and put them next to his pillow...... What a deep longing this is, the lonely parents in the evening have a strong hope for his early return.

With tears in his eyes, Xiao Chen could imagine the suffering and loneliness of his parents in their later years

The old man in the twilight, looking forward to the return of the wanderer in the field, did not believe that the missing son had an accident, and looked forward to it day and night......

In the house, Xiao Chen picked up strands of snow-white hair, his parents are really old, and the gray hair in the past is now completely snow-white...... His heart was sour.

To meet your parents, meet your parents now!

Xiao Chen shook off the two old men who were chasing after him and rushed to the entrance of the village, where there were already more than a dozen old people and more than a dozen children looking at the dirt road in front of the village.

"Hey, that's Chenzi. ”

"Morning is back. ”

"It's really Chenzi!"

Eight years have passed, and the years have not left any traces on Xiao Chen's body, he is a cultivator of the Imperial Sky Realm, his longevity has been extended for hundreds of years, and his appearance is the same as the past twenty years old, so the old people in the village recognize him, and some children are even more curious to stare at him.

The old people suddenly surrounded him, asking him where he had come all these years.

It was at this time. A child exclaimed with joy, "It's back, it's back." ”

In the distance, at the end of the loess road, the old and young of the village returned, covered in mud and exhausted, all supporting each other to come back.

"Damn the state religion. Take people and use them as livestock. The old man in the village was extremely distressed and said: "More than a dozen people have died in the village, and God knows how long these remaining dozens of people will survive...... Woohoo......"

In the distance, an old woman with snow-white hair let out an exclamation and stumbled over. The shoes fell off, and she didn't seem to know it, and she was barefoot, with tears streaming down her face, and fell on the loess road several times.

"Mother's ......"

Xiao Chen shouted, rushed over, fell to his knees with a thud, and helped the old man.

"Chenzi, my child. Is it really you? Woo...... You're finally back, my child...... Woo woo...... "Her hair was already snow-white, her face was full of wrinkles, and the sullen color on her charitable face gradually faded, she hugged Xiao Chen's head and cried loudly, a pair of calloused hands rubbing Xiao Chen's cheeks vigorously.

"Kid...... My child ......" Xiao Chen's mother kept repeating these two sentences, tears pouring out of her eyes, rubbing his face vigorously. Child...... The child ......" Xiao Chen's father also stumbled over, covered in mud. An excited smile bloomed on his tired and haggard face, and his gray hair was so eye-catching, and the wrinkles were piled up, showing his old age.

"Father's ......"

Xiao Chen knelt and moved a few steps forward, and the family hugged their heads and cried.

Everything in this world can be fake, but the affection of parents is not half false.

After eight years of separation, he finally returned to the world. Xiao Chen hugged his elderly parents tightly, his heart was like a knife, tears were like rain, his parents were really old...... And he was not around for so many years.

Looking at the white-haired parents and feeling the calluses on their palms, Xiao Chen's heart hurt and at the same time a surge of anger, the conditions at home were good. Quite a bit of an asset. There's no need to work hard at all. And his parents were so miserable in their old age, that their palms were covered with calluses. This...... It's all caused by the "state religion", and he clenched his fists uncontrollably.

"Xiao Chen, is it really you?"

"Xiao Chen, you're back!"

"Xiao Chen, you dead boy has been gone for eight years!"

"It's me, I'm back. Xiao Chen looked at these former friends, with mixed feelings, and called their names one by one: "Da Zhou, Xiaohu, Erbing, Xiucai, bald ......"

"It's me!"

"It's me!" one big hand reached over and held Xiao Chen tightly.

Xiao Chen's parents were happy with tears in their eyes, smiling as they watched Xiao Chen recognize his former partner.

"Woo ......"

At this time, someone began to cry.

"Xiao Chen, are you back...... Three of our friends who grew up together have died, and if you don't come back, I'm afraid we won't see you again. ”

Speaking of which, everyone in the village was sad, it was a small village, less than a hundred people, but not so long ago a dozen people had died.

The companions were covered in mud and exhausted, with whip marks on their bodies, and some of them had shocking wounds.

"Do you remember Da Zhuang? He was upright, but he was beaten to death after a few words against the overseer on the bank of the Yellow River. There is also Xiao Han, who has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he can't work at all, although all his work is shared by us, he is still exhausted. And Xiaohai ......"

Da Zhuang, Xiao Han, Xiao Hai...... My childhood friend, I'm gone. Looking at his parents, and then at his tired partner, Xiao Chen's heart rose with anger, and his fists clenched tightly.

"If it weren't for these children moving rocks and bulldozing for us, we would have died of exhaustion by the Yellow River...... Xiao Chen's father had mixed feelings. Xiao Chen's mother was wiping tears for a group of children in her eyes.

"I'm back, I won't let you suffer anymore!" Xiao Chen stood up straight, looked at the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and shot out two cold rays of light.

"Chenzi, don't mess around, that's the state religion of Kyushu, and the power is unimaginable. Not only were the villagers near the Yellow River conscripted as coolies, but hundreds of thousands of slaves were brought in from all over the country, and no one dared to resist. The old people in the village sighed.

"Yes, Xiao Chen, don't mess around. Even Xiao Chen's childhood friends dissuaded him, saying: "We know that you know martial arts, and you have been practicing outside since you were a teenager, and your skills are extraordinary." However, the people of the state religion are stronger than you think, we have seen with our own eyes, their patrol envoys can fly, they know magic!"

"Yes, the most time, we once saw a dozen young people walking in the sky with flying swords in the sky, swimming up the Yellow River. ”

"Those men are handsome, women are as beautiful as flowers, but they are merciless, I once saw them flying swords, just a beautiful girl made her own shot, a flying sword cut through the sky, and with a slight turn, the heads of more than a dozen martial arts masters were cut off. ”

Xiao Chen frowned, what happened in the human realm? There are such masters, it seems that there are not one or two, it seems that there are many such cultivators in the so-called state religion.

Seeing everyone's worried looks, Xiao Chen had to promise them that he would not cause trouble. However, he still made a promise that he would immediately find a way to get everyone out of trouble.

How can he continue to let his parents do coolies? How can he watch his friends endure hardships? It is impossible for Xiao Chen not to take action, but he has to make a plan, after all, the people around him are not like him, but they can dominate the world, and these people will continue to live on the banks of the Yellow River in the future.

When I returned home, almost everyone in the village came to visit Xiao Chen's return, this is the simplicity of a small village, but there are about thirty households, and if something happens, everyone will help together.

It was very late that I sent away those uncles and those companions.

His parents held his hand, and there were endless words, telling about the thoughts of these years.

Xiao Chen listened silently, trying not to let himself cry.

As they spoke, the two old men seemed to remember something and let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong with my father and mother?"

"Don't you feel like you're missing something?"

Xiao Chen looked at his parents suspiciously.

"Ruoshui came to visit us a few times a year, but after she came early last year, she left behind something that we couldn't spend for a lifetime, and she never showed up again. ”

Xiao Chen's expression immediately froze.

"Don't blame the girl. Xiao Chen's father sighed: "She is the same age as you, and she has been waiting for you for seven years." The girl from an ordinary family got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and she was twenty-seven years old and still unmarried, so she was no longer an old girl who couldn't marry in Kyushu. To tell you the truth, our old couple persuaded her many times to tell her not to wait for you......"

She ......" Xiao Chen wanted to say something, but felt his throat blocked.

"She left a lot of jewelry last year and she hasn't shown it since. Xiao Chen's mother sighed and said, "What a good girl, she is more beautiful than the fairies in the painting, she is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, even if the Guanghan fairy comes, she will not change such a daughter-in-law!"

Xiao Chen walked to the window and silently looked at the starlight in the sky, he had been mentally prepared for this result, but he still felt a little bitter, was it really only a year late? Could it be that Ruoshui was destined to become the passing water in his life?

Looking up at the starry sky, Xiao Chen whispered to himself: "I silently bless you...... Pray for you from afar......"

It's about to open the secrets of the world, and the immortal world, the emotional drama of the world will be accompanied, and I know that many people like fierce fights, and it may be thankless to write like this, but ......
