Seven days later, Wushan Mountains, Cross Slope.

A new tombstone was erected, and as Yu Zhen said on her deathbed, the names of the two people were side by side.

With the ceremony of husband and wife, this white affair was presided over by Xia Yan himself.

He has done all kinds of work in the wilderness, and he is also a business, and he is very profitable.

It's just that it's been a long time, and the lyrics are a little forgotten, so I can only make up a few words.

Today is the time for the burial of the couple, and the family members of the couple will not be able to come.

The situation in Yu Zhen and Mei Zhixue's house, Tu Su has already checked it, and they were originally considered big families.

The Yu family is a family of eunuchs, and the Mei family is a wealthy businessman.

But after these two had an accident in the final of the school palace sword debate, these two disappeared.

The two families, with a total of more than 2,000 people, disappeared overnight.

Why and how it disappeared is the same as what Yu Zhen has experienced in the past nine years in a state of non-human and non-beast, no one knows.

Xia Yan didn't ask these questions seven days ago, it was for the dignity of the dying person.

You don't need to know exactly what happened, you just need to know who should settle this account.

If the family members are not present, someone needs to replace them and perform rituals such as kowtowing around the grave.

Fan Bi'an volunteered.

Lao Fan has a good reason, he is Yu Zhen's apprentice in the school palace, and he is also an apprentice in swordsmanship.

What's more, he also inherited the demon pill vitality in Yu Zhen's body, and his cultivation was the same as Yu Zhen's life, and he came to the middle stage of the innate realm.

So today's Fan Bi'an wore linen and filial piety, guided by Xia Yan, and respectfully completed all the processes.

Finally, a glass of wine was spilled in front of the grave, and Fan Bi'an seemed to have been drained of all the strength in his body, and sat on the ground with a blank gaze, looking at the tombstone in a daze.

Also present at this time were Tu Su, Jiang Yuan, and Zhou Wuji.

Yuqing Xiaoguoshi, dressed in a wide Taoist robe and holding a handful of dust in his hand, walked to Xia Yan's side, raised his head and whispered: "I listened just now, the words in your mouth are not right." ”

Xia Yan thought that there was actually an expert here, so he lowered his head and glared at him: "I don't take money, don't you care about me?" ”

"That's right." Zhou Wuji nodded, "You killed people anyway, even if you recite the 'Sutra of Bliss in the Past Life' correctly, it is estimated that it will have no effect." ”

At this time, Jiang Yuan came over, picked up the little national teacher's ear and shook it aside: "Little Taoist, if you don't know how to speak, talk less, and play at the same time." ”

The little national teacher covered his ears that were reddened and muttered: "Good men don't fight with women......"

Jiang Yuan pointed to Fan Bi'an, who was sitting on the ground, and asked, "Brother, what is the situation with Old Fan?" It's been seven days, and I've always been like this soul, how do I feel that although his realm has grown, people have become even more wasteful? ”

Xia Yan shook his head and said softly: "It's not just him, look at your second sister." ”

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look and found that Tu Su was far away, also staring at the tombstone in a daze.

"Brother, what's wrong with them?" Jiang Yuan said, "You don't persuade either? ”

"There are some things that others can comfort." Xia Yan said, "But this kind of confusion about the future of cultivation, it's best for them to figure it out for themselves. ”

"That's weird." Zhou Wuji walked over again, "Seven days ago, Jiang Yuan was knocked unconscious and lost his sandbag, and I was also slapped on the tree with a sword, neither of us is confused, why are they unscathed?" ”

The corners of Xia Yan's mouth twitched: "I can only say that you two have big hearts." ”

Zhou Wuji frowned after hearing this, and tugged at Jiang Yuan's sleeve with his hand: "Hey, he seems to be saying that we are lacking hearts." ”

"You." Jiang Yuan shook his hand and stuck it on Zhou Wuji's head, "Compared with my brother, aren't we lacking hearts?" ”

Zhou Wuji held his head: "Jiang Yuan, you have something to say, don't always do it." ”

Xia Yan felt that these two goods were too noisy, so he slowly slipped to Tu Su's side.

Sensing Xia Yan approaching, Tu Su withdrew his gaze towards the tombstone, lowered his head and said, "Brother, I'm a little scared. ”

Xia Yan shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid. ”

"But Xiu Jian Sect ......," Tu Su said this, and sighed faintly.

"You can talk about everything." Xia Yan said, "If you can't talk, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will run, if you can't win, you will die, and there are several processes in the middle." ”

"You're so comforting, aren't you?" Tu Su turned his head and glared at Xia Yan.

"What are you comforting for?" Xia Yan smiled, and then Zhengse said, "Second sister, no matter what you think now, it's normal and allowed. ”

Tu Su was slightly stunned: "Do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yan nodded, "You feel scared, with your temperament, if you don't have that kind of thought, you won't be afraid." ”

"Do you think we have a chance?" Tu Su asked.

"I don't know, I just know that it's man-made." Xia Yan shook his head, and then said, "Captain Tu, gather the team members, I think we have to have a meeting to summon the soul of our Vice Captain Fan." ”

"Okay."

……

On the offering table in front of the grave, the incense had been burned.

Xia Yan blew out the candle, picked up an apple as a tribute, wiped it on his clothes, and bit it down.

Sure enough, it is a good thing for a pound of silver, overflowing with juice, sweet and delicious.

As the national teacher of Yuqing, the master of too virtual viewing, and a senior industry insider who presided over the funeral of the Queen Mother, Zhou Wuji's eyes were straight.

The little Taoist priest pointed at Xia Yan, then looked at Jiang Yuan, who was rolling up his sleeves beside him, and held back the words when the words came to his mouth.

Xia Yan held an apple in one hand and gnawed on it, took another one from the table with the other, and stuffed it into Fan Bi'an's hand: "You can eat it after you have served, it's sweet." ”

Fan Bi'an looked down at the fruit in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Chief Xia, I can't eat it now." ”

"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it." Xia Yan said, "Otherwise, where would you have the strength to play with us?" ”

"Do you still have to play this game?" Fan Bi'an raised his head and said, "Senior Sister Yu's swordsmanship is superb, but she still ends up like this, so it's okay if you don't go to this cultivation world." ”

Xia Yan smiled: "This idea of yours didn't just come now, when you witnessed Yu Zhen's suicide nine years ago, you should have thought like this, that's why you have been holding on to the realm, right?" ”

Fan Bi'an sighed: "That's true, but it was Senior Sister Yu who encouraged me back then and let me participate in the Great Discussion of Sword, so I have been very confused recently."

Later, I witnessed the talent of several of you with my own eyes, and saw Senior Sister Yu die again, so I could see it completely clearly.

Even if I Fan Bi'an reaches the cultivation world, I'm just ordinary.

I shouldn't be qualified to do what I want to do, so I can just go with the flow and become what I hate.

And in the secular world, with my current cultivation, I should be able to do what I want, and I am still me. ”

"So, you're going to quit the Academy Palace?" Xia Yan asked.

"Hmm." Fan Bi'an nodded.

Xia Yan raised his sword finger and pointed at Fan Bi'an's forehead: "Are you sure?" ”

Fan Bi'an was stunned.

He has seen this scene, Yu Zhen is so completely gone.

Tu Su was also startled, and hurriedly asked, "Xia Yan, what are you going to do?" ”

Xia Yan smiled and took away his sword: "Old Fan, if one day in the future, when you are doing a good job as a hero in the secular world, there is someone in the cultivation world who is like me just now, and a sword is pointed at the center of your eyebrows, what can you do?" ”

Fan Bi'an opened his mouth, and then found himself speechless.

"You can't do anything but die." Xia Yan said, "Who did you represent today to attend the funeral ceremony, have you forgotten?"

These people include scholars from officials to officials, businessmen from the rich side, and enshrined guards in the innate realm.

In the secular world, none of them are famous and moved, and they have to tremble three times when they stomp their feet in the Yuqing Dynasty.

Are they still there?

It's gone.

And what they don't have, you don't.

Why you didn't, it doesn't even matter what you did.

Because once you are trapped in this worldly world, you are just an ant.

Someone else passes by, and when you step on it, you are inexplicably gone.

Your personal will, your ambitions, your romantic feelings that stay in the landscape of the past are just a speck of dust that others can't see.

Mid-Innate Realm, what is that?

Not even fart.

Do you want to be yourself?

Who gave you courage?

Where do you come from? ”

Fan Bi'an was stunned and looked at Xia Yan blankly.

The three chiefs around him didn't dare to say anything at this time.

After a long time, Fan Bi'an asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Get stronger." Xia Yan said, "You are dissatisfied with the current world and feel that you are out of place, it doesn't matter, you just need to become strong enough to change it." ”

"How do you get stronger?" Fan Bi'an asked again.

"Participate in the Great Discussion of the Sword and worship the sect." Xia Yan said, "It's not just a matter of becoming stronger, but if you don't understand what you have to deal with in the future, why should you change it?" ”

The fear in Fan Bi'an's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Chief Xia, why do you say this kind of thing so easily, aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm scared to death, but I'm afraid of ...... again" Xia Yan took a bite of the apple in his hand, and said while chewing, "You have to eat food, and you have to do things." ”

Fan Bi'an took a deep breath and looked at the teenagers around him.

Tu Su stood up first, walked to the edge of the offering table, picked up an apple, and took a bite of it.

Jiang Yuan also stood up, picked up the apple and took a bite, then picked up another one and stuffed it into Zhou Wuji's mouth next to him.

"Woooooo Zhou Wuji protested, holding the apple in both hands, and took a vicious bite, "I'll take it myself!" ”

Fan Bi'an smiled dumbly, shook his head, picked up the apple in his hand and bit it, chewing it happily.

In front of the grave, the five chiefs were munching on apples, and then they heard someone say from a tree twenty meters to the east:

"Xia Yan, bring me one too."

When Xia Yan heard this voice, he was slightly stunned at first, and then rolled his eyes: "You have to eat it yourself and get it." ”

So a giant man floated down the tree.

He wears a bamboo hat on his head and a pair of straw sandals on his feet.
