People, when they are shallow, may be shocked when they see something new.

And once you grow older or go through too many changes in a certain period of time, you will not show any surprise at many things that you have not seen.

However, even if the mind is as calm as water, once you see something that you can't believe in any way, and you directly hit the thing that establishes the foundation of your three views, I am afraid that only people who have completely lost their feelings can have no thoughts fluctuating.

Hou Changshan not only has a calm mind, but even his experience is not rich, when he plucked up the courage and entered the stone tablet, the scene that suddenly appeared in front of him made him unable to be calm as before.

After a long period of "falling", Hou Changshan finally felt the existence of the ground, he could stand still, and his five senses were gradually recovering.

And the scene in front of him, as his vision recovered, slowly unfolded like a picture scroll.

This side is not what he thinks in his mind, some dark and mysterious cave, but Luan birds and songs, green mountains and waters, and even inexplicable white clouds and warm sun.

This is not the most surprising to Hou Changshan, such a scene, Hou Changshan has also experienced in some secret realms.

At the entrance of the village, there is a wooden plaque erected on it, which reads "Hou's ancestral land" in ancient characters.

That is where Hou Changshan grew up when he was a child, Hou Changshan looked at the other place, and inexplicably remembered in his heart that his appearance was what he looked like when he walked out of the ancestral land, after decades, even if the realm soared, there was no major change.

"Could it be that the moment I walked out of the ancestral land, my life was vain, and now I am finally sober?"

Hou Changshan even had such a delusion in his mind.

Hou Chang hurriedly sensed the level of spiritual power in his body, and found that it was still the Xuanyan realm, so he was slightly relieved.

Then, what is the Hou family's ancestral land in front of him, Hou Changshan is still a big alarm bell in his heart.

Seeing that there was a big circle outside, and no clues were found, Hou Changshan, who had been spending nothing here, finally decided that only by entering the interior of this obviously problematic ancestral land could he completely unravel the secrets here.

Hou Changshan followed suit, slowly walking towards the entrance of the ancestral village with a wooden sign.

Along the way, the strange beast spirit luan wandered near Hou Changshan, as if showing friendship, Hou Changshan was puzzled, he had no impression of these spirit beasts.

In his memory, the ancestral land of the Hou family was in a very ordinary low mountain col, and no spirit beasts had ever appeared, and even ordinary wild monkeys were difficult to see in the mountains and wilderness.

"What the hell is this place?"

The more Hou Changshan walked forward, the more he slandered in his heart.

When he approached the entrance of the village, Hou Changshan stopped, and he needed to make some mental preparations before he dared to step into this obviously problematic place.

"It doesn't look like there's even a person inside, which is too infiltrating......

Hou Changshan took a few deep breaths and kept complaining in his heart.

Finally, after doing several psychological construction for himself, Hou Changshan continued to move forward.

At this distance of dozens of steps, Hou Changshan seems to have walked for decades, and with every step, Hou Changshan feels that his life has taken a step backwards.

With every step, Hou Changshan's life experience was blurred for a year, until the entrance of the village of Hou's ancestral land, Hou Changshan didn't even know why he was standing here.

Hou Changshan scratched his head, and seemed to have a little impression.

"I'm ...... Coming to the ancestral land to practice? ”

Hou Changshan looked at the wooden sign at the entrance of the village, and turned up the advice of his parents and elders in the family to him in his mind, it turned out that he was sent by the family to come here to practice and practice, and only by obtaining the approval of the elders of the ancestral land could he return to the family and go to the vast world of cultivation.

It's just that there is always a distant illusion in that memory, is it that I am sleeping?

Hou Changshan patted his head vigorously, he has been the most diligent child in the family since he was a child, and he has the heavy responsibility of revitalizing his line, but he has no time to think nonsense.

Cultivate, cultivate to a level that is enough to crush everyone, and then all problems will be solved.

With such belief, Hou Changshan stepped into this ancestral land of the Hou family.

From the outside, it was originally a village where only fairy beasts came in and out and no one entered, but after Hou Changshan entered, it suddenly became a mortal mountain village full of life and people.

And those spirit beasts and spirit birds that originally came in and out of the place also converged the aura around them and turned into ordinary birds and beasts, but they still surrounded Hou Changshan.

After that, the eldest elder of the ancestral land led him to the ancestral hall, and after listening carefully to the admonition of the ancestors, Hou Changshan officially began his cultivation in the ancestral land.

Day after day, year after year, Hou Changshan did the work of every resident of the ancestral land, and he also ushered in, received and sent away countless young people from his family who came to train.

Can why he can't leave the ancestral land yet, is it because his desire to go out is too strong, but some people come in and force each other to die, and finally give it away.

Is it because he doesn't want to go out, but some people who want to eat and wait for death in the ancestral land are also sent out in the end.

Is it because his cultivation is not enough, he is cultivating here, and the realm is thousands of miles in a day, and in this ancestral land, there are only a few people whose level is above him.

Was it because he was happy to do so, no, he had asked the Great Elder many times, but the Great Elder always told him that it was not time yet, so he believed it, so he stayed.

"Why?"

After Hou Changshan sent away another genius boy in the clan, he began to ask himself this sentence again, but there was still no answer.

It's just that today's situation is a little different, as soon as Hou Changshan turned around at the entrance of the village, he saw a middle-aged woman in plain clothes rushing out of the ancestral house.

The woman stumbled in front of Hou Changshan and almost cried and said, "Great Elder...... Great Elder, he can't do it, Changshan, go and take a look......"

Hou Changshan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he picked up the woman, and ran towards the ancestral hall in the depths of the ancestral land without looking back.

He didn't know why he didn't go to the Great Elder's house, he seemed to have a spirit in his heart, that is, he knew that the Great Elder was in the ancestral hall at the moment.

Passing the crowded crowd inside and outside the ancestral hall, Hou Changshan knelt in front of the Great Elder's bed with a pale face.

The Great Elder described it as withered at this time, but the eyes that looked at Hou Changshan were still loving.

"Changshan, you are the pride of my Hou clan, before you, no one's cultivation speed was as fast as yours, after you, how many years will it take to produce a talent comparable to you, but Changshan, there are too many people in the cultivation world who are stronger than you and have better talents than you, if you go out, you will definitely have to face countless challenges, are you really willing to leave?"

"yes, am I really willing to leave?"

When Hou Changshan heard this, he was stunned and speechless.

He had always been confident, and he knew that he was the most talented person in the Hou clan in this generation and even in all previous generations.

Born to refine qi, build a foundation at the age of six, condense the inner pill at the age of nine, and break the pill in the ancestral land at the age of sixteen to become a baby, so that his appearance is no longer affected by age.

But in this way, should he go to the family, dedicate everything to the family, and finally ascend to the peerless realm, bringing the family to unprecedented heights?

Hou Changshan didn't even think about this problem, his life is like a track, every station in the future has been planned by his predecessors, all he needs to do is to do his best to bring the car named "Hou's" to every platform.

That's how he should be...... Is it?

The Great Elder's words turned all his previous assumptions into hesitation.

"Changshan, if you were to stay here and take over my duties, would you be willing...... Or do you still want to get out of your ancestral land and expand your territory for the Hou family? ”

Hou Changshan was speechless, did he still have a choice?

Hou Changshan's mind was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

"Actually, there's an answer for a long time, isn't it?"

Hou Changshan asked himself in his heart.

"My father and mother taught me since I was a child, and the head of the family always said that I needed to go out of my ancestral land, and my uncle and uncle let their children follow my example...... Grand Elder...... The Great Elder said, "I should choose my own heart......"

Hou Changshan's lips trembled, his teeth chattered unconsciously, he had what he should do and what he wanted to do, why he just couldn't decide, the answer should be very clear.

"Why can't I say it!"

Hou Changshan's heart roared.

He never wanted to face that world of cultivation that was deceitful and the survival of the fittest, how fast did he cultivate, how fast did he comprehend the Dao, what if he was born to reach the top of the Immortal Realm.

The key is that Hou Changshan doesn't want to get these at all, he likes the refreshment between the mountains and the wilderness, likes the joy of birds and beasts, likes to be a leisurely housekeeper, likes to do everything he can to support himself, and then divides his spare energy to teach others, that is enough.

That's right, he likes the comfort of ushering in and sending off, he likes every sunrise and sunset spent in the ancestral land, and he is willing to take over the position and responsibilities of the Great Elder, but is the family willing......

The answer should be obvious, Hou Changshan should also accept his fate.

However, just as Hou Changshan was about to open his mouth to answer, the Great Elder asked again, "Changshan, do you really want to go out?" ”

Hou Changshan's words were blocked in his throat, his consciousness was spinning, and he was also asking himself.

He looked at the crowd, it was the old uncle and aunt who had long been familiar and kind, looking at the sky, it was all kinds of birds and beasts that accompanied him to grow up, and looking down, it was the bluestone floor tiles that he had personally measured with his feet.

"I ...... Why go? ”

Hou Changshan asked in his heart.

"I ...... Really don't want to leave here. ”

Hou Changshan said softly.

"I, I am willing to take over from the Great Elder and stay in the Hou Clan's ancestral land!"

In the end, Hou Changshan's words, accompanied by the firmness of the belief in his heart, became loud and clear, and there was no hesitation.

In the midst of such an answer, the Great Elder's weakened eyes shot out the last ray of essence, and shouted, "Good, good!" After that, in laughter, he finished his wonderful life.

Grief is naturally there, but for Hou Changshan, his heart is relaxed and abnormal, he looks at the remains of the Great Elder, and there are thousands of words of gratitude and regret.

In the days after tomorrow, there will naturally be a lot of trouble for Hou Changshan in the clan, but the status of the Great Elder is special, and more importantly, the Great Elder's last wish was established under the witness of every ancestral elder, which is something that the head of the family cannot interfere with.

In the end, the head of the Hou family, in a state of amazement, lamented that the Hou family had not yet reached the time of prosperity, and left lonely.

Hou Changshan, on the other hand, successfully took over the position of Great Elder, and since then, he has devoted himself to managing the ancestral land and providing due assistance to every young man in the clan who comes to the trial.

Hundreds of years have passed like this, Hou Changshan has sent away countless old people in the ancestral land, and there are genius young people who left at the beginning, and they have returned to the ancestral land to become the new clan elders.

For Hou Changshan, because the spiritual power of the ancestral land was not enough to support the continued improvement of his cultivation, his life was about to come to an end.

He thought about what it would be like if he left his ancestral land, and he even sometimes gave birth to some names in his mind, fantasizing about meeting them and having all kinds of stories.

However, there is no regret medicine to eat, and he is happy enough in this life.

"It's not bad to leave like this......"

The elderly Hou Changshan thought so.

But at the moment when he wanted to close his eyes and wait quietly for death to come, a human voice, like thunder on the ground, suddenly startled him to open his eyes suddenly: "Hou Changshan! Wake up! It's a fantasy! If you don't regain consciousness, you're really dead! ”

At that moment, Hou Changshan's memories flooded back like a tide, what succeeded the Great Elder, what cultivated new people for the family, those were all things he had thought about but did not do.

The real one should have walked out of the ancestral land a long time ago, and now he is in the ancient tomb of the real man!

"Wake up!"

Another shout, Hou Changshan struggled to open his closed eyes, and the house in the ancestral land was still in front of him, but everything began to look illusory.

Hou Changshan dragged his withered figure, step by step, towards the outside of the ancestral land.

He remembered the way he came, he was going to go back, he was going to go where he came, he was going to wake up.

However, Hou Changshan seems to be really old, and every step he takes seems to be exhausting the last breath of his life.

But Hou Changshan never wanted to be so firm for a moment, he had to climb out, and he would die on this road.

"Now that you know what is true, don't be dragged down by falsehood, even if fantasy is beautiful, but life, life must be lived!"

Hou Changshan remembered this sentence from somewhere, he fell to the ground, and crawled forward with his hands and feet, his fingers were worn out, and he used his arms and knees to move forward against the mud.

Until exhaustion, until the last breath can not breathe, until the last hurdle when coming...... Hou Changshan lowered his stiff head, he had no way to go further, even an inch......

At that moment, a hand stretched out in the void, thick and powerful, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up, like a drowning man being dragged out of the water.

Hou Changshan, reborn......
