180 years old
Xu Wen drove to the cemetery where Xia Qing's mother was, most of the shops on the street were closed, and the road was unimpeded, with only a few traffic passing through the street.
"Didn't you say before that the New Year would be very lively? How do you feel a little deserted......"
"Because everyone has gone back to their hometown for the New Year, although this is not the city center or anything, but it is also an urban area after all."
Xia Qing looked at the street scene outside the window, and gradually showed a contemplative expression, "However, compared to previous years, today is indeed a lot more deserted...... But it's a little more than a week before the New Year......"
Xu Wen listened quietly to Xia Qing's analysis, but did not continue to answer, and after a while, he slowly asked, "Do I drive directly to the cemetery, or do I want to go where to buy things first?" β
"Ah...... Going, going, going! If you don't say it, I'll forget it...... Wait, I'll give you a navigation. β
Xia Wantao listened to Xia Qing in the back seat of the car, and suddenly giggled, "In the past, when Brother Xu Wen was away, Sister Qing was always very careful in everything she did, but now I feel like a child, reckless." β
"W-Wow...... You kid, when will it be your turn to teach my sister a lesson......"
"Isn't it good to look like a child?"
Xia Wuyu complained on the side, "Doesn't this prove that your pressure is not as great as before." β
"But...... I've always been a sister, and I have to be an example to you......"
"Sister Qing's sister is too burdened haha-"
"You're a first-grader, where did you learn so many strange wordsβ"
"I learned it all on TV!"
"Then you won't be allowed to watch TV for the next two days!"
"It's okay! Anyway, there are no programs on TV in the past two days. β
"Hoo ......"
Facing the smiling Xia Wantao, Xia Qing looked a little helpless.
The car stopped at the funeral goods store that Xia Qing often went to before going to worship, and Xia Qing also bought funeral supplies in this store in the middle of July last time, and after the group got out of the car, Xu Wen had no intention of coming down.
"Go buy something, I'll wait for you here."
"Oh, what a ......"
Xia Qing glanced at Xu Wen, as if she still had something to ask, but Wan Tao held her hand and urged her to hurry up and buy something, and Xia Qing had no choice but to give up in the end.
After seeing the group of people entering the store, Xu Wen cast an out-of-body spell, and the whole person's Yuan Shen broke away from the body and quickly flew to a position a hundred meters away.
This place has been overflowing with surging spiritual power since Xu Wen arrived, and when Xu Wen arrived, he saw a huge purple rift, if this can also be regarded as a dimensional portal, it will inevitably seem too huge; But this surging spurting spiritual power is definitely not the characteristic of this world with thin spiritual energy.
Under normal circumstances, the aura is an invisible existence to mortals, but if more aura gathers together, it will form a visible "immortal qi", but the smoke on this side, the pedestrians on the street seem to turn a blind eye, completely unaware of its existence, and just walk towards the road by themselves.
That's what it is...... Is the unstable plane that the Xuantian Emperor said before?
Xu Wen tried to manipulate his mental power to dispel these overflowing aura, and then fill in the shattered plane.
He was able to do it, and the aura that overflowed from outside the plane no longer continued to transmit.
When Xu Wen returned to the car, Xia Qing and his party were still selecting the items they needed to sweep the tomb during the New Year, and they were talking and laughing with Xue Ji, looking very happy.
This is the plane he created.
The summer sunshine, fog and rain, and evening peach in front of you......
If it is according to the laws of the Blue Sky Realm, they are also like Xia Qing's mother, they are all existences created by him relying on his own memories.
Or perhaps, there was something different about the plane created after the tribulation, otherwise, Xu Wen would not have spent so much time with them......
"It's almost the New Year......
"It's great, I want to spend the New Year here too."
ββ¦β¦β
A familiar figure suddenly appeared in Xu Wen's passenger seat.
And this is the glass that has not been seen by Xu Wen for a long time.
Xu Wen just wanted to open his mouth, but Liuli suddenly made a silent gesture, and when Xu Wen reacted, he found that the time around him had stood still, except for him and Liuli, everyone else remained still.
"You...... What's wrong with it? β
"It seems that Emperor Xuantian has already told you a lot of secrets...... He's really a bad person. β
Compared with the previous cheerful and lively, today's glass looks very serious and serious. Before Xu Wen could speak, Liuli suddenly waved his hand and said, "I know you have a lot of things you want to ask...... But there are many things that you can know by acquiring your own memory, and I don't need to state them again...... I came here today to report on the changes in the Qianyuan Realm. β
"I've already heard Emperor Xuantian say what he thinks."
"Ah...... I know that. β
Liuli nodded, "For this matter, Emperor Xuantian also made a special trip to visit our Haotian Valley......
"Is it about the unification of the sect?"
"Hmm......" Liuli nodded, "Xuantianmen wants to be the only sect on this side of the righteous path. β
"Even if the immortal cultivators of other sects are added together, it is estimated that they are not the opponents of the Xuantian Emperor." Xu Wen took a deep breath, "So Ling Shuang should-"
"It's not what you think."
Ruri shook her head, "Sister, she...... I don't want to give up Haotian Valley. β
"Don't want to give up? Is that...... What do you mean? β
"Of course, it's the literal meaning you imagined."
Liuli shook her head and said, "She doesn't want to sit still and let Haotian Valley become the Xuantian Emperor's belonging." β
Xu Wen was very puzzled by this, but he could only continue to ask with curiosity, "What does she mean?" She's going to ...... Against the Xuantian Emperor? β
"yes, it's deadly, isn't it?"
Liuli smiled at Xu Wen and said, "But your eldest disciple is such an old-fashioned person, although she snatched away your sect position, she has no intention of giving it to others at all, she wants to use all the resources at hand to fight against the invincible Xuantian Emperor." β
"That'...... What about the comparison of the strengths of the two sides? β
"There are many immortal cultivators in the two factions of the righteous and demonic factions who are unwilling to become under the Xuantian Gate, and everyone is involved in this war. The most critical Emperor Xuantian in the war has never been to the battlefield in person, but none of his disciples are good at it, and there are more than a dozen powerhouses in the refining period like me and my senior sister. β
"How long has the war been going on?"
"In less than a week or so...... At present, although our side has the advantage, if the Xuantian Emperor comes to the battle line in person, it will definitely be a situation of misery. β
"In that case, what are you doing to me......
Xu Wen stared at Liuli Dao, "Are you ...... Do you want me to convince Ling Shuang to give up resistance? β
"As you deserve to be a master, your wisdom has all come back with the improvement of your cultivation?"
"But even if I pass, I'm just a weak person in the infancy, how can I convince your senior sister to her-"
"I don't think you really understand...... In the end, Senior Sister can't let go of Haotian Valley, it's not because this is your only destination in the Qianyuan Realm, as long as you say you don't need it, she will definitely not continue to insist on it. β
"Does Ling Shuang pay so much attention to me...... Xu Wen said with a deep breath, "However, according to what you say, Ling Shuang probably won't give up on Haotian Valley, right...... Even if I have a home here, so I no longer need Haotian Valley, for Ling Shuang, that place is also the only place that belongs to her......"
"It seems that Shizun has really become a lot smarter......
Liuli said softly, "So this is the second thing I want Shizun to do, and that is to hope that you will bring Senior Sister Lingshuang back here, back to where we used to be, this ...... A shattered world that no longer exists. β
Liuli's words contain multiple meanings, and Xu Wen has no intention of asking them one by one, because many words are already in plain sight.
"Although Ling Shuang is a bad disciple after all, I will still help her...... After I am busy today, I will fly to the Qianyuan Realm with Xia Qing, and after I have gained my memory, I will try to persuade Ling Shuang to take a look. β
"By all means...... Do you want to bring Sister Qing with you? β
Ruri's gaze became a little complicated, "If she goes, the situation may become very complicated." β
"I promised her a long time ago, so I'll take her anyway."
"Hmm...... Anyway, you're responsible for yourself, so it's ......"
Liuli looked at Xu Wen quietly, and suddenly showed a reluctant and helpless smile, "Shizun has finally grown up." β
"What does it mean to grow up?"
"Now, I can't snoop on your memories as freely as I used to......"
"Hmph...... That's nature. Xu Wen smiled, "I'm already the strongest on the surface of this mortal world." β
"The Nether is the strongest on the surface and it's useless......"
Liuli made a grimace at Xu Wen, "Everything I should report has already been reported, and then it's up to you to show off your own operations, Master-"
"That, Ruriβ"
When Xu Wengang wanted to ask Liuli about their true identities again, time began to flow again.
"Alright...... Everything is bought! Brother Xu Wen, open the trunk quickly! We're going to put something! β
"Alright, alright...... Don't worry, don't be noisy! β
Xu Wen opened the trunk amid the noise of the children, and at this time, Xia Qing just finished putting things and entered the co-pilot's seat.
"It's tiring to go shopping with a bunch of kids......"
"Not now? It's not more to suffer in the future. β
When Xu Wen said this, Xia Qing suddenly paused slightly, and then blushed and muttered, "No, nothing...... It's still very interesting to take children......"
"You are an immortal cultivator, you have to show the momentum that an immortal cultivator should have, don't be afraid when you encounter difficulties, just do it!"
"What are you talking about, you!"
Xia Qing repaired Xu Wen well.
The car drove through a winding mountain road and slowly drove into the interior of the cemetery. The Paradise Cemetery here is built on the mountain, which is full of neat rows of tombstones, at this moment the sun is shining, and some birds can be heard in the lush mountain forest, everyone is moving along the bluestone road in the middle, the road is scattered with all kinds of firecrackers crackling and leaving red confetti, and the roar of firecrackers and smoke not far away show the atmosphere of fireworks here.
Although she came to a place like the cemetery, Xia Wantao didn't seem to be afraid at all, she jumped in front alone, looking east and west while looking, she also ran all the way after the fog and rain, and finally stopped in front of a line of tombstones.
"A stone lion placed diagonally...... This should be it...... Is this it, Sister Haru? β
Xia Wantao waved vigorously at Xia Qing's side, and Xia Qing nodded from afar, "Don't run around, beware of ghosts catching you." β
"Hmph...... Sister Qing, don't try to scare me again! There are no demons and monsters in broad daylight, and even if there are real ghosts, my mother will protect me! β
Xia Wantao patted her chest, showing that she was not afraid of heaven and earth.
And at this moment, Xue Ji, the instrument spirit on the side, showed a thoughtful expression, Xu Wen slowed down slightly, looked at Xue Ji and said:
"What are you thinking?"
"No, nothing ......"
Xue Ji shook her head slightly, but then she whispered a little, "It's just...... I feel very envious...... There is such a existence as a mother. β
"If you want, I can be your father?"
"No, Dad is a very evil creature, it's better to be a master."
"What are you...... It's been ruined by the fog and rain! It's really ......."
Xia Qing's mother's tomb is in the third position of the stone lion from right to left, because there was not much money at the time of burial, and her mother's tombstone is obviously shorter and older than the ones on both sides, but the flowers hanging on her mother's tablet are obviously more brand-new than the tombstones on both sides.
"It looks like it just put it up, is there anyone else who has come to sweep my mother's grave?"
Xia Qing noticed a bouquet of lilies in front of the tomb, and after carefully checking and confirming, she couldn't help but respond:
"This is Mom's favorite flower ...... before"
Xia Wantao tilted her head and wondered: "Could it be, it was sent by Dad?" β
"It should ...... It's quite possible. β
Xia Qing smiled slightly, Xia Wuyu on the side was very uncomfortable, as if she wanted to pluck the flowers out of it, Xia Qing comforted on the side:
"This is a real flower he sent, don't pick it randomly."
"It's just a conjugation anyway, what kind of sincerity does this guy have ......?"
Xia Wuyu stuffed his head and did his own thing, changed the wreath, laid out the paper money, took out a small stack of firecrackers, and handed the lighter to Xu Wen.
"Come on...... This year you come to set off firecrackers. β
"I'm going to put it?"
"So you don't want to be family with us anymore?"
"I didn't say that, I just don't know how to use it."
Xu Wen dismantled the firecracker in the air, and after finding the lead, Xia Qing on the side urged him, "You have to light it yourself, don't use spells." β
"Alright, alright...... I'll order it myself. β
Xu Wen lit the fuse, and then subconsciously threw the firecracker to the side of the road, and the firecracker crackled.
