The wind blew gently from afar, rippling through the gentle seedlings in the paddy fields, taking away the leaves and bringing the golden color.

Spring went to autumn, and the fish that Su Mu had caught by the pond for a long time were all given to the villagers of Yu Village.

In the early morning, the dew drops on the lotus leaves quickly and simply slide into the pool.

Those people who came from Shu Village have gone a lot.

They were all eliminated and competed for the Dao Stone on Taihang Mountain.

Snowflakes flew, and the entire village was shrouded in snow.

There are many fewer people walking on the Taihang Mountain, but Yugong is still unswerving in digging the mountain.

Winter turned to spring, and Su Mu began to bask in the sun in the courtyard, like an old man who had entered his old age.

Lo found out something and said to hoe and He that Su seemed to be muttering something every day.

Hoe and He taught his son not to eavesdrop on others.

The little monkey is still helping the hoe family with household chores, and sometimes even follows them down to the field.

Now he has not only learned to plant rice in the fields, but also to plow the land with the old ox at home.

As for the simple housework of chopping wood and cooking fire, cooking rice and stir-frying, the little monkey was personally praised by He, who was even more powerful than Lao, and had become an important labor force in the hoe family.

The favorite season for baby monkeys is autumn.

Every autumn, there will be a lot of fruit ripening on the nearby Daqing Mountain, and every autumn he will take Lao and the rest of the children in Yu Village up the mountain.

Su Mu saw them going up and down the mountain many times in the courtyard.

It wasn't until Lao Xiao's small stature gradually rose up that he began to help hoe He do some heavy work.

It turned out that Lao had changed from a child to a teenager.

"Dao Chief, give!"

On this day, the little monkey picked a lot of peaches and came back and handed them to Su Mu as usual.

Lao also carried a small stool and sat next to Su Mu.

"How many times have you eaten peaches?" Su Mu looked at the mountain peach in his hand and asked.

The little monkey remembered very well and said, "We went and picked it seven times, and we ate it seven times." ”

"It's been seven years," Su Mu sighed softly.

"It's been seven years, why haven't you changed at all,"

Lao stared at Su Mu's cheek very curiously, and said, "I saw a white hair on my father's head today, Brother Monkey told me that my father is getting old, but why haven't you changed?" ”

Su Mu did not answer this question.

Lao chased after him and said: "Brother Monkey has told me a lot of stories in the sea, can you tell me the story of Shu Village?" ”

From that day on, Law looked forward to every night.

He loved the story of a monkey protecting a monk.

The little monkey also liked it, and he realized that the Taoist chief could also tell stories, and he was even more fascinated by Wen Daoyan.

From that day on, he had a slender wooden stick in his hand, and he always carried it up and down the hill.

The winter of the seventh year.

Yugong was carried down by his family from Taihang Mountain.

He is old, not to mention the hard work he has worked day after day, and he has become ill and difficult to return.

On a snowy night, Yugong passed away.

Walking with Yugong, there were also many people from Shu Village who originally followed him to dig the mountain on Taihang Mountain.

"Even Yugong is dead, what's the point of us here?" They looked at the fluttering snow and roared vigorously.

"The foolish man is gone, but we can't leave yet, how can we pass the assessment?"

"What's the answer?"

Someone fell into the snow and rolled helplessly, "The last assessment was not like this!" ”

Su Mu went to attend Yugong's funeral.

At the funeral, someone chased him and asked, "Su Mu, if what you said was right at the beginning, why haven't you been able to go out until now?" ”

"Let go," Su Mu looked at the other party coldly, and then walked straight over.

The disciple who was holding him was afraid of Su Mu's eyes, and he didn't dare to ask any more.

On the same day of Yugong's funeral, Zhihesuo, who had been enclosing himself in the house, committed suicide by hanging a beam.

When Su Mu entered Zhi Hesuo's room, he only saw that the walls were full of heaven and earth aliens, and the words against nature were so dense.

The remaining less than 100 Shushan disciples became even more confused because of the departure of Zhi Hesuo.

Here, there are only these two ... No... These three people are what they have heard of, and even such people are gone, can they really leave here and return to Shushan if they continue to earn Dao Stones?

Some people even began to think that Zhisuo was right, and they no longer went up to Taihang Mountain.

"Grandma," Su Mu greeted the old woman as he walked through the intersection.

Seven years ago, the old woman could straighten her waist, but now she can't.

The little monkey also looked at Wangwu Mountain with the old woman's gaze, and sighed: "I don't know if the demon girl has turned over." ”

Time passes without a shadow.

In the tenth year, Grandma, who had been waiting for her whole life, also left.

The follower grandmother left with many confused Shushan disciples.

Since Yu Gong and Zhi Su left, Xu Duo Shushan disciples have been confused, they don't know what to do, and some people are irritable that this is not an assessment at all, it is Shushan's torture of them.

Even the disciples who believed Su Mu's statement at the beginning, most of them thought it was wrong, especially Grandma's departure.

After all, Grandma is one of the arguments for Su Mu's point of view.

Now Grandma has gone, but they haven't left here, it's incomprehensible.

In such a confused and aimless life, it is boring and boring.

So someone took the initiative to crush the jade slip, determined to escape from this inexplicable place.

In the twentieth year, the scholars on Kuifu Mountain also left.

Before he died, he told Su Mu not to bury him in the deep earth, and he hoped that after death, his soul could roam the world.

Well, for the vast majority of Shushan disciples, this is also a heavy blow.

Twenty years of time, living like an ordinary man, even if there is no assessment, is an inhuman ordeal.

After all, they used to be monks who flew to the heavens and retreats, and if they were in retreat for twenty years, how much would their cultivation enter?

Another group of people took the initiative to crush the jade slips and leave Yucun.

There are less than 60 people left in Yucun.

Hoe and He are also getting older day by day, and He can only do some needlework at home now, and hoe can still go to the ground.

Not long after, Law's second child was born, a lovely girl.

But there was no prejudice in the family because it was a girl.

Law found Su Mu again, hoping that Su Mu would name his daughter.

In fact, when his first child was born, he asked Su Mu, but Su Mu did not agree.

This time, Su Mu thought about it and agreed.

Before, he didn't want to interfere too much in this world, but if he thought about it seriously, Zhisu died because of himself, and he had already interfered in this world.

Today's Su Mu has a very high reputation in Yucun.

He once discerned wisdom on Taihang Mountain, and was already respected as a wise man, and later he told many stories to Lao, which have now spread throughout the village, and the people in the village regard him as an immortal with knowledge.

As an immortal, of course, there is a more important point, Su Mu's appearance has not changed in the past twenty years, and the rest of the disciples who came from Shushan like him are getting old.

For this reason.

Wei Congsheng came to ask him many times if he had something to hide, and even came to make trouble many times, wanting to arrest Su Mu for interrogation.

But Su Mu just took the monkey's stick and gently repelled everyone, including Wei Congsheng.

Thirtieth year.

Su Mu played Tai Chi in the courtyard and practiced palm techniques.

One day, the little monkey came to him tiredly, "Dao Chief, I don't want to earn Dao Stones here, I want to go out." ”

Su Mu asked calmly, "Why?" ”

The little monkey said: "I do the same thing with Lao every day, and the Dao stones I earn have no place to spend them, and I am bored to death, if I have a jade slip, I will also crush it out." ”

Su Mu smiled: "Anyway, the peaches in Daqingshan are ripe, won't you go?" ”

"I'm tired of eating,"

The little monkey was bored, "and; Law is not fun at all now, he no longer dares to quietly go up the mountain with me with a hoe to pick peaches, and his son is too honest and boring. ”

Hearing this, Su Mu just smiled and didn't say much.

The little monkey said with emotion: "I really don't know how the Great Sage has lived for five hundred years under the Five Finger Mountain." ”

Su Mu laughed funny: "Just like you, you keep saying that you want to learn Monkey King?" ”

In this way, within a few years, hoe and He passed away one after another, nearly seventy years old, which is already considered a high life.

Before dying, the second elder told Lao to take care of Su Mu.

When the older generation leaves, there will be a new generation.

More than 40 years later, Lao's grandsons have all reached the grade of making soy sauce, but Su Mu has not changed at all.

I don't know when it started, there would often be some children in front of the courtyard, who would come to see him, and also bow down to Su Mu.

As soon as Su Mu asked, he knew that there was already a saying outside that he would have a smooth life, eliminate illness and live a long life by worshipping him.

He didn't bother to care.

"Senior brother, why can't we leave yet?"

One day, Hongqing found him.

Now Hongqing's hair is no longer red, and he has become an old man who is out of breath when he walks.

Su Mu only said one word to him, "Wait!" ”

Wait, there are not many people who are willing to continue to wait like this.

By the fiftieth year, there were less than thirty Shushan disciples left.

And in the next few years, there were actually Shushan disciples who began to die, which was the end of normal longevity.

Wei Congsheng was completely frightened, and he went crazy when he came to Su Mu's courtyard.

In the end, he was beaten out by the monkeys.

Of course, he was not the only one who was panicked, they all remembered that when they entered the Too Illusory Realm, Chongguang Zhenren personally said that in the Illusory Realm, there was not no danger, and there was a danger to his life.

The end of Shou Yuan?

Is it one of them?

Such a voice soon occupied the hearts of many Shushan disciples.

Thereupon.

In the next year, more than a dozen disciples left.

Among those who stayed in Yucun, including Tan Rusu, who left more than fifty years ago, there were only eleven people left, and seven of them entered Shushan at the same time as Su Mu.

"Sir, can you please take care of my children?"

In the sixtieth year, a Jiazi is like a reincarnation, Lao is lying in bed, and he is about to come to the end of his life.

"I'm sorry,"

Su Mu let Lao grab his hand, "I can't help you, because I'm about to leave." ”

After Law left, his children still treated Su Mu and the monkey with great respect.

"Uncle and grandfather, I think I'm about to run out of it," Su Qi now has a chest-length white beard and the necessary crutches, and he feels like he is about to end his life.

Su Mu looked at him and said solemnly: "Hold on for a few more days." ”

Su Qi asked, "Senior brother, are the former fellow disciples who died really dead?" ”

"Well, I'm not sure."

"If I can't go out tomorrow, I'll crush the jade slip."

Following.

Several sacks slammed in front of Su Mu, "Take a look at you, envy, right?" ”

The person who appeared in front of Su Mu was Tan Rusu, who she hadn't seen for sixty years, and she was still the same as sixty years ago.

The body is as graceful as a mountain elf, and the eyes are as bright as a galaxy, but the hair is a little messy, and the face is stained with a lot of mud.

The little monkey opened the sack, and it was full of extremely high-quality Dao stones.

Some people died, but not completely......
