Chapter 148: The True Test
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed, and this is already the second decade that Yang Xiao has entered the Shura space and comprehended reincarnation.
Huzi is also an adult, his body is like his father, strong and powerful, the neighbors around, and a few more households, the owner of the rhinoceros inn, because of his gambling habits, finally transferred the inn to others, and now it has become a rhinoceros martial arts hall, I heard that there are peerless masters in it who personally teach people martial arts.
Huzi's parents' faces gradually have some slight wrinkles, although they are still young, but they can't stand the washing of the years, after all, as an ordinary person, how many twenty years are there in their lives?
Li Ming, the eldest young master of the Li family in the south of the city, married a daughter-in-law eight years ago and gave birth to a pair of twins.
In fact, in the past ten years, every time there is a festival, Li Ming will bring his children and wife to visit Yang Xiao, and Yang Xiao is not disgusted by this, but also likes these two little dolls.
It is worth mentioning that the names of these two dolls were given by Yang Xiao, the boy is called Li Fan, and the girl is called Li Yuer, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for Jiang Fan and Huang Yu......
Spring goes to autumn, the sun and the moon alternate, in the past 20 years, Yang Xiao has seen birth, old age, sickness and death, and he is quite emotional in his heart.
In the past twenty years, he has only cultivated twice, and not only did he not care about his cultivation, but he had not even deliberately felt the progress of his cultivation for a long time, and as for the assessment of the six realms of reincarnation, he was completely left behind.
And Qiu Mingzi, who came to steal the stone statues back then, came once in the past ten years, and after offering three top-grade spirit stones, he took the three stone statues very respectfully.
In the past 20 years, Yang Xiao's store has gradually become famous in the west of the city, although there are not many customers, but it is much better than not seeing a person all year round.
It's just-
In Yang Xiao's store, almost all the guests who came were cultivators, and I don't know if it was a problem with the Shura space, among these cultivators, the most powerful was only at the peak of the immortal realm, not to mention the soldier monks, even the heaven-level monks, Yang Xiao did not encounter one.
Every monk who comes here will buy stone statues with a large number of spirit stones, and in the past 20 years, the stone statues carved by Yang Xiao have sold a lot, and the best spirit stones have accumulated I don't know how much.
And these cultivators, who either bought stone statues or visited the door, also respectfully called Yang Xiao Mr. like Huzi's father.
In this regard, Yang Xiao has always been calm, there is no change, what he seeks is the mentality of mortals, understanding the life of mortals, feeling the reincarnation of heaven, stone statues, just a tool for him to comprehend the way of heaven, doing business, the same.
......
The New Year is getting closer and closer, and in the bustling city, there is a joyful atmosphere everywhere, Yang Xiao sits in the store every day, looking at the pedestrians outside, and in his eyes, he shows deep reminiscence.
He had already experienced twenty New Year's Experiences in this Shura space, but each time he felt completely different, sometimes sad, sometimes happy.
In the weapons store directly opposite the store, Huzi ran out quickly, holding some things to play with, excitedly playing with the children in the neighborhood, as if the child king, seeing Huzi, Yang Xiao's eyes showed a trace of warmth, in the past 20 years, Yang Xiao almost watched Huzi grow up, from a four-year-old child, to a twenty-four-year-old youth.
In this Shura space, many young people in their twenties are basically married and have children, but Huzi is still like a child, wandering around every day, carefree.
However, one thing has not changed, that is, Huzi still often goes to Yang Xiao's store to learn to carve stone statues from Yang Xiao.
After a while, Huzi suddenly shouted, ran to Yang Xiao's store, sat on the bamboo chair next to Yang Xiao, and said with a strange smile: "Uncle, I heard my dad say that the martial artist of the Rhino Martial Arts Pavilion wants to be your daughter-in-law, is it true?"
"Stinky boy, why don't you care so much, is your ass itching again and you want to be beaten?" Yang Xiao patted Huzi on the shoulder and scolded with a smile.
"Cut, I'm not a child, and I still let you spank? Seriously, uncle, I've seen the martial artist of the Rhino Martial Arts Gym, he looks beautiful, and his martial arts are high, it's a pity that he doesn't want such a daughter-in-law!" Huzi grimaced at Yang Xiao and said with a wink.
"Hehe, Huzi, my uncle already has a lover, and it is impossible to like someone else. Yang Xiao's eyes showed a trace of tenderness, and Huang Yu's figure appeared in his mind.
"Then why don't you go back? Oh...... , I know, is it that people's requirements are too high, and my uncle can't meet them, so he went to the city to make a lot of money?" Huzi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
The corners of Yang Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled bitterly: "Stinky boy......." ”
After a few laughs, Huzi was about to speak, when a call suddenly came from the weapon shop next door, Huzi hurriedly responded, and said to Yang Xiao with a bitter face: "Hey, you want to ask me to go on a blind date again, it's really annoying." With that, he ran back helplessly.
Subsequently, a few words of reprimand from Huzi's father came from next door......
Yang Xiao took a sip of wine and sat quietly at the door, at this time, the sky gradually drifted down a little snowflake, slowly, the snowflakes became bigger and bigger, the first snow of the year, silently, fell from the sky.
The cold wind is blowing!
Passers-by on the streets all around reached out and tightened their coats to ward off the sudden cold.
The snow-white snowflakes gently fell on Yang Xiao's face, and at the temperature of his body, they slowly turned into crystal droplets, Yang Xiao looked up at the dim sky, and after a long time, he stretched out his right hand and shook it casually, and suddenly the snowflakes around him instantly condensed.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath and let go of his right hand, and the snowflakes immediately collapsed and fluttered around again.
As the sky darkened, there were fewer pedestrians, and after a while, there was no one on the whole street, even the inns and shops that were doing business around them closed their doors in advance because of the heavy snow, and no longer did business, but reunited with a family by the fire to keep warm.
This kind of warmth is not only physical warmth, but also the warmth of a family reunion, that kind of warmth, which can drive away any cold.
Yang Xiao's eyes gradually revealed a feeling of loneliness, and the coldness of the cold wind blowing was really insignificant in terms of his current cultivation, but looking at the lights on the surrounding streets, only his store on the entire street was pitch black, and a trace of bone-chilling coldness suddenly rose in Yang Xiao's heart.
This kind of cold, not any source of fire can be expelled, nor can any magic spell make up for it.
This kind of cold-
It is the price of comprehending the way of heaven, and it is the emotion of escaping into the red dust.
All ways are one, and all spirits are deified.
This eight-character mantra, although it is simple to say, but when it is really done, how many joys and sorrows are contained?
At this moment, Yang Xiao has already experienced loneliness and desolation, and Yang Xiao understands in his heart that this feeling of loneliness will always accompany him and follow him every moment.
However, Yang Xiao can predict that decades later, when the people around him die one by one, and he seems to be the only one in the whole world, that feeling is the real loneliness, and at that time, it is the time when the test really begins......
Yang Xiao was silent, and after a long time, he staggered to his feet.
The whole person seemed to be a little old at this moment, slowly cleaned up the store, and closed the door gently.
After a long time......
There was a faint light in the store, and although the light seemed as bright as the lights around it, in the depths of the light there was a deep loneliness, a loneliness that came from the depths of the soul......
When writing a chapter, Sissy thought of her father, and in her heart, she was also lonely and desolate......
