Chapter 44: The Edge of Dust

The vast Daze has countless life and souls.

In Yunmeng, in addition to the land continent where Taisu is located, there are countless islands, not only the high-meritorious monks who opened the mansion, but also the clan family.

With Taisu's preaching for thousands of years, or the monks and servants in the door are looking for a place to live for a long time, or mortals come to seek the Tao, or escape the troubled times to find a paradise......

Gradually, many islands in Yunmeng are full of traces of people, and under the rule of Taisu, they have formed either Taoyuan villages, or prosperous cities, or even prosperous countries, where everyone has enough food and clothing, and lives and works in peace and contentment.

There is a big island in the north of Yunmeng, Nanhua, a country on the island, it is said that it is built by the immortals in the depths of Yunmeng, for hundreds of years, the country and the people are safe, the government is harmonious, although there are officials and people, rich and healthy, but there is no respect and inferiority class.

In the national capital, there is a large family of Xu family, prosperous for a hundred years, the old man of the Xu family is highly respected, peach and plum full of country, originally nearly a hundred years of life, Fuzhong has begun to operate.

A few days ago, the old man was still in good spirits and could drink and chat with the visiting protΓ©gΓ©, but no one expected that he would suddenly fall asleep all night, and he would not be able to sink.

In a room in the backyard of Xu's house, Mrs. Xu was lying on the floor, looking peaceful, and there didn't seem to be any nightmares, but the famous doctors in the capital, the imperial doctors in the palace, and even the masters in the Taoist temple had all come to see and made a judgment that they were going to die.

But after a few days and nights, the old lady never went, and he was not in a hurry to give birth to the head of the Xu family, but only asked the housekeeper to serve and take care of him, which was really puzzling.

On this day, the wind somehow blew lightly, and opened the closed door, and a jade bamboo hairpin, a dashing man in a wide robe, opened the curtain, and came to the bedside.

The Taoist didn't seem to have much emotion, and seemed to feel nostalgic, and stood quietly by the bed for a moment, then sighed and said, "Father." ”

Hearing this, the old man collapsed, suddenly his eyelids moved, he opened and closed several times, opened his eyes, and there was no spirit in his eyes, and he was cloudy and colorless, and he moved to the face of the Taoist with difficulty, showing a sense of relief.

"Zhuang'er, you're back."

The Taoist is Xu Zhuang, Xu Zhuang nodded and said, "I've come to see you." ”

The old man said in a deep voice: "All these years, are you okay in the Immortal Sect." ”

"Good." Xu Zhuang sat down in the upper part of the collapse and said, "Now I am also in a high position in the door. ”

What is the high-grade Jin Dan, ranking as a true biography, the old man does not understand, just know that he is good, hearing this, he really showed a not very good-looking smile, maybe his energy is exhausted, his words are a little confused, and he said in a deep voice: "That's good...... Ok and ......."

Maybe it was because he had lost his obsession, Xu Zhuang could feel that he had really reached the moment of dying, sighed, put two fingers on the old man's vein, and said: "Father, I have the Immortal Sect elixir, which can prolong my father's life." ”

Somehow, the old man gave birth to energy again, smiled ho, and said: "I have no regrets for my father's life, so don't force me to stay in the world." ”

Xu Zhuang's eyes moved, and when he saw the old man's eyes, as if he had seen the excitement of his life, he slowly released his fingertips.

The old man closed his eyes in satisfaction and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Huh? How is this door open? Suddenly, a steward ran into the house with a copper basin, Xu Zhuang was gone, the steward opened the screen window, and saw that the old man looked serene, as if it was no different from before, but his heart suddenly trembled, the copper basin fell, and the water spilled on the ground, and he stepped forward slowly, and his fingers probed in front of the old man's nose.

"Old man......? Old man? The steward Deng Deng took a few steps back, two lines of tears overflowed from his eyes, and he hurriedly ran out of the door, shouting, "Old man! It's a sage! ”

There was a panic outside, and after a long time, there were many people around the bed, and sadness was pervasive, and a healer, who carefully checked the pulse on the side of the collapse, finally looked heavy for a while, and shook his head.

The steward sat on the ground, broke down and wept, and muttered incessantly, "I have closed the doors and windows...... How can this be, the old man must have suffered a cold......"

"My parents died early, and the old man took me to work in the house, treating my family like a family member......

An old man with a calm face walked up to him, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Jinru, it's not your fault. He got up again and said to everyone: "Let's all go out first, I want to be alone with the old man for a while." ”

This man seemed to be the head of the family, and when he heard his words, although he was sparse, he finally stopped his grief and went out.

The last person closed the door, and the room was quiet again, the old man slowly walked to the table and chair and sat down, looked quietly for a long time, and suddenly said, "Big brother, are you still there?" ”

Xu Zhuang's figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the case and sat down calmly.

The old man showed a faint smile on his face and said, "I just guessed, I didn't expect that the eldest brother really hasn't left yet, are you here to see your father for the last time." ”

Xu Zhuang sighed lightly and said, "Not bad." ”

"I think this may be the last time I see my eldest brother." The old man sighed, "I still remember when I was young, I didn't like my eldest brother. Everyone at the time said that Xu Jialang was a prodigy, writing articles at the age of three, writing poetry at the age of five, knowing little about the world, and being amazingly intelligent...... But I've never seen it! ”

"Later, I knew that this eldest brother went to seek immortal cultivation, and in the immortal gate, he really shined? The teachers in the imaginary view are all blue-eyed to the Xu family, the lord of Nanhua, and they should also treat their fathers politely......"

"When I first saw my eldest brother, I was still a yellow-mouthed child, and when I saw my eldest brother again, I was already a weak crown."

"After that, after a long time, the third time I saw my eldest brother, I have already known my fate, and now goodbye, my eldest brother is still like this, and the years really can't leave a trace of the immortals?"

The old man seemed to have a lot of feelings, and said slowly, and Xu Zhuang also listened quietly.

Xu Zhuang didn't answer, but said, "Is there anyone at home who needs my help?" ”

"Everything is fine at home." The old man replied.

Xu Zhuang nodded, and said: "I remember that when I came here last time, your grandson Fang was born, and he has good roots, so I can take him back to the sect to practice." You said that the child is still young, and he has to wait for him to decide. ”

"Yes, my hair is tied now." The old man said with a smile: "It's a pity that he has not been interested in cultivation since he was a child, and when he was eight years old, he was still like a big brother, and he was sent to the Void View to be a Taoist boy for two years, but unfortunately he didn't awaken his heart to the Tao." ”

"It's a shame." Xu Zhuang said lightly.

At this point, there was nothing to talk about, and after a moment of silence, Xu Zhuang stood up, took the jade bamboo from his hair, gently placed it on the table, and said: "In the future, if there is anything important in the family, or if there are descendants who have the roots of cultivation and the heart of the Tao, they can hold this bamboo to the virtual form, and they will know how to contact me." ”

"So thank you, big brother." The old man stood up and shook his hands deeply.

Xu Zhuang smiled slightly, strode out of the door, the old man chased two steps, only to see Xu Zhuang flick his sleeves, take advantage of the breeze and float up to the clouds, and disappeared.

I can't help but be stunned.
