Watching his father walk out, Chu Hao knew that maybe his father would never come back, he had grown up slowly for more than 20 years, and he was used to that figure, so he couldn't help but have a sour nose and followed his father out.

"Men cry and cry, don't let women laugh at others. ”

Only the back head left behind did not reply.

"Dad?" Chu Hao shouted again in the back.

The man walking in front stopped and looked back at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dad, I heard people in the village call you Chu Chaijiang before, but I still don't know what your name is." ”

The man was silent.

"Actually, I don't believe Chu, you follow your mother's surname. ”

Looking into the distance, there was an unfamiliar look in Chu Hao's eyes, vicissitudes of life and sadness.

"My surname is Bai. ”

Take a step that stops and doesn't look back.

Ordinary things in the wind and snow,

Laughing at the anecdote, it is said that it is cold.

Joys and sorrows are separated from the world,

The vicissitudes of life.

The empty tone echoed outside the courtyard for a long time, from near to far.

That back, in Chu Hao's eyes, gradually became blurred.

When he walked out of Chu Hao's field of vision, the man stopped moving forward and looked back in the direction of the small courtyard, with affection, reluctance, and many emotions in his eyes.

"Bai Ye Yu, Bai Ye Yu, twenty years of the world really let you enter the world. The silent man suddenly laughed at himself.

The man who was called his father by Chu Hao turned out to be Bai Yeyu.

A scream of shattered void came from above Bai Ye Yu's head, and a huge black shadow galloped down from the sky, which turned out to be an eagle. Huge size.

The eagle's wings spread out and it was more than three meters long. You can imagine how big it is. At first, it was still hovering in the sky, and Bai Yeyu stopped before rushing down to the ground, and with this threatening eagle cry, the surroundings were much quieter.

"All these years, only you have been by my side. Bai Yeyu looked at the eagle, his eyes became warmer, and said.

The whistling eagle landed in front of the white leaf feather and withdrew its wings. Unexpectedly, he looked at Bai Yeyu with emotional eyes.

"Twenty years of burying yourself, don't you feel wronged?" The eagle actually said something and asked Bai Yeyu.

"Wronged?" Bai Ye Yu was not at all surprised by the fact that the eagle was able to speak human words, and seemed to have known it for a long time.

"If I said that after 20 years of WTO accession, the harvest will be greater than before, will you believe it? ”

"Letter, the master is still the same master I couldn't understand. ”

The eagle's eyes are dark, and there is no trace of color in sight, but there is a smell on some people's bodies.

"Why don't you let Chu Hao follow you, if he follows his master. That is not the person who has benefited the most after the master has restored his cultivation. The eagle urn sounded the urn airway.

"That's what the fuck means. Quan'er's spiritual root has been sealed by me. Bai Yeyu said lightly.

"Master, you?" said the eagle's voice with irrepressible amazement, it knew exactly what it meant to close the spiritual root.

It means that there is no way to cultivate, that is, you will never be able to step into the path of pursuing immortality.

Bai Yeyu is still looking into the distance, and he is still wearing coarse clothes and linen pants at the moment, but he has a little more elegant feeling, and it seems that he can ride the wind at any time.

"If you talk about cultivation, Quan'er's physique is indeed a superior choice, but his mother has told him, so I don't persuade him, let him make his own decisions in the future. Bai Yeyu muttered to himself.

The eagle thought of the woman who had let the master stay for twenty years, and stopped making a sound, it knew that from the moment the master closed his cultivation, he was already emotional, and he was most afraid of emotion when he cultivated.

Only love words are the most murderous in the world.

Twenty years ago, wasn't it just for a love word that the man in front of him killed the Quartet.

"I haven't returned to the Bai family for twenty years, and I don't know what the last wishes of the ancestors of the Bai family have been made by this group of Bai family madmen. The corner of Bai Yeyu's mouth sneered, against the delusion of the Heavenly Dao to live forever, the Bai family has never been short of amazing generations for hundreds of years.

The night was bleak, and the fire in the hut was gradually weakening.

"Crunch~"

The door of the hut was pushed open, and the boy packed his bags and prepared as if he were about to leave the city and step into the city. Outside the village, several large trees are still swaying in the evening breeze, and the night is exceptionally quiet.

Looking at the direction his father left, Chu Hao hesitated for a long time, in a day's time, he was going to move forward alone, the ups and downs came too fast, so fast that he felt that he was dreaming, shook his head, didn't know whether he should laugh or how, there was still some money left at home, and it was packed up by Chu Hao and put it in a package, he was going to quietly put this package at the door of the village chief Grandpa Huang, who was one of the few literate people in the village, along with a letter he had just written.

I locked the door and took a look at the place where I had lived for more than ten years, and I was reluctant. Most of the people in the village had already fallen asleep, Chu Hao carried the package, tiptoed to the village chief's residence, quietly put the package in his hand at the gate of the courtyard, and prepared to leave quietly, without making a single movement. But when Chu Hao walked more than ten steps with his back to the courtyard gate, the courtyard door with the package suddenly opened, making a not too loud sound, hearing this sound, Chu Hao looked back, and there was an old man standing at the door, it was Grandpa Huang who his father asked him to visit.

"Where are you going?" Picking up the package on the ground at the door, the old man surnamed Huang, who was not very tall, leaned over his waist and questioned Chu Hao, his cloudy eyes filled with a trace of essence.

"My dad went to the city, I'm going to live with a relative in the city, it's getting late, I thought Grandpa Huang was sleeping, so I didn't plan to go in. Chu Hao looked at the old man and whispered, he didn't know why the old man in front of him came out so late, could it be that he heard the movement outside, he was very careful when he came here.

"Ahem. The old man surnamed Huang coughed a few times, "So that's the case, your father said it some time ago, but I forgot, he has already left?"

Chu Hao nodded.

"Then what are you doing with this baggage?" asked the old man again, lifting the burden in his hand.

"Grandpa Huang, you are old and inconvenient to work, it is used to honor you to buy wine and drink, I am going to the city, I don't need this. So I'll bring it to you. Chu Hao replied truthfully. Grandpa Huang lives alone. is not thin on his family, so this is a part of his heart.

"Your father told you to bring it?" asked the old man again.

"No, it's my own meaning. ”

"Then I'll take it. The old man nodded, "Be careful on the road, take the big road, don't be greedy to save effort to take those small roads, no one will save you when you encounter robbers." ”

Chu Hao answered, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute. ”

The old man's shout came from behind him. Chu Hao looked back, and the old man was looking at him from behind, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

"Koizumi, let me ask you something. The old man surnamed Huang in front of him looked at Chu Hao with a solemn expression and said.

"Grandpa Huang, you said. ”

"Do you want to cultivate?"

Chu Hao was stunned for a moment, Bai Yeyu had told him these things that seemed unattainable to him during the day, but he didn't expect someone to say to him at night, do you want to cultivate the Dao? A voice lingered in his heart, Cultivation can lead to immortality, and Cultivation can open up the world and the power is infinite. You can also hunt the monsters in the mountains like my father.

But another voice came out of his mind again.

"Your mother, like you, is an ordinary person. ”

"She just wants you to live the life of an ordinary person. ”

Time stands still in this moment. A slight cool breeze gently blew on the boy's body.

Ordinary people, these three words pressed heavily on Chu Hao's chest, making this immature young man breathless, maybe with just a nod, he could step into that mysterious place, but his father's words, and his mother, who had no face in his memory, seemed to be shaking his head and sighing at him.

In the end, the boy shook his head and rejected the temptation.

Strange colors also began to appear in the old man's eyes, it was obvious that he had made up his mind to say this, but Chu Hao's reaction was not what he expected, how many people yearn for immortality, how many people want to get out of the situation of ordinary people, but Chu Hao can leave these behind, which makes the old man surnamed Huang impressed.

"Although you are not suitable for cultivation, as long as you are willing to work harder, you can also stand above many people and tell me, why give up. The old man said in a hoarse voice.

"I just want to be a normal person. ”

The young man raised his head, looked at the kind old man with difficulty, and said in a firm tone.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I am inconvenient to persuade you. The old man sighed, and had no choice but to give up, but he felt something from his bosom, which seemed to be a small bottle, which contained an inexplicable black liquid.

"This is the essence blood I got in the barren land from a mysterious python that is about to turn into a dragon, if you encounter danger in the future, you will take this essence blood, remember, do not touch these essence blood until the last resort, if the dark python has now turned into a dragon, these essence blood is enough for ordinary people to drink and explode to death. ”

The words of the kind old man, the meaning of the words is not too much, Chu Hao silently accepted this small bottle, placed it in the underwear, the old man's kindness, he accepted, the grace of the dripping water should be reciprocated, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will repay the kindness, his father taught him since he was a child and still keep it in his heart.

"Your father is gone, and he probably won't come back. ”

Chu Hao looked at the old man in surprise, for Chu Hao's gaze, this old man didn't care at all, and nothing could move him from his face that had experienced vicissitudes.

"Twenty years ago, your father was a figure that even I, an old man in the mountains, had heard of, but I didn't expect that twenty years later, he gave up on your path of cultivation, although I don't know why you don't have a spiritual root, probably because he used a method that I have never heard of to close your spiritual root. ”

The old man slowly said these words that shocked Chu Hao, no wonder his father didn't answer the words with or without spiritual roots before, he was unintentionally inserting willows, but he answered like this.

On the lonely road, there is only one back figure moving silently, no one cares about the bitterness and suffering all the way, the path of cultivation is difficult, there are only a few people who have become immortals, and there are many blood and tears behind the ten thousand people under that person.

"In your heart, what is the Tao?" the old man suddenly asked Chu Hao.

"Dao, isn't the Tao just soaring in the sun and becoming an immortal?" Chu Hao muttered.

"It's not easy to say that the sun is rising, every grass and tree in the village is the Tao, among the flowers, birds, insects and fish, all are the Tao, and the Tao exists between all things. ”

"As long as the mind is empty and you experience all things, the Tao will also be stored in your heart, and those who cultivate the Tao are just getting the path to the Tao, and those who have spiritual roots can get closer to the Tao, and those who have no spiritual roots cultivate the Tao means that they have to put more into it. There is also a way for man. The same is true of demons. It's just that the two have different paths, and the paths are different and they don't conspire with each other. ”

After saying this, the old man with white hair turned away, his robe rose without wind, and an indescribable powerful aura suddenly burst out, approaching Chu Hao's door.

It's imposing.

The old man walked to the door, and there seemed to be an invisible hand behind the two doors that pushed the door open, leaving only a back figure to disappear from Chu Hao's field of vision. The pale moonlight shone on the boy, who seemed to be holding on to something, sweating, but gritting his teeth and standing outside the door.

Finally, this momentum passed away like a tide, as if it had never been before, leaving an empty back here, as if it had a long sigh of relief, and after a few more glances at this place, it finally left.

The door of the hut suddenly opened again, and the old man surnamed Huang, who had just entered, came out again. Looking at Chu Hao's gradually blurred back, he looked around at a few big trees outside the village that had been flourishing for hundreds of years. He shook his head alone, and said to himself: "Bai Ye Yu, Bai Ye Yu, since he sealed his spiritual root and didn't let him enter the path of cultivation, then why did he let him come to see me." ”

Within a radius of 100 miles, Yicheng is the largest earthen city, there are a large number of people who come and go every day, there are monks looking for materials, there are also various small merchants and hawkers peddling their ancestral treasures, the major shops and restaurants are Chuli, every time they catch up with the market, they are extremely prosperous, occasionally there will be one or two treasures that have not been born to be discovered by the people of the Tao, so the people of the monks in the city of Yi have never seen less, so the people who cultivate the truth are common in the city, and the ordinary people in the shops and restaurants do not make a fuss when they see the monks.

Yicheng region is located in a peculiar place, so it is also common for many monks to come and go, there are barren and barbaric places in the north, there are three major schools in the middle earth of the world, which are divided into "Liuyun", "Tongtian", "Immortal Valley", there is a thousand-year-old temple of Buddhism in the west, "Tianlun Temple", which is the place where the disciples of Buddhism gather.

There are thousands of disciples under the Liuyun Gate, nearly 10,000 disciples of the Tongtian Sect, and the Immortal Valley Cave is a little mysterious, the world only knows that the Immortal Valley Cave has a mountain name called Immortal Valley, but no one knows how many disciples there are in the Immortal Valley.

The three major sects in the last hundred years and the demon sect in the struggle and sacrifice heavy dà, this hundred years only slightly regained some vitality, the three major sects, Liuyunmen stationed on the frontier, to resist foreign invasion, and the fairy valley cave has always been mysterious, only the Tongtian Sword Sect has incense offerings, every fifteenth day of the first month, the people in groups to the Tongtian Sword Sect main peak Tongtian Peak bottom of the donation, has ensured the prosperity of the coming year, but more people are willing to yearn for the Tianlun Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, because most of the monks there are charitable, willing to accept the people into the temple, and there are special Buddhist disciples chanting for the people to chant Buddha, bless health。

The south is the land of the Wu people in southern Xinjiang, but the Wu people usually do not interact with Middle Earth, only a few Wu people have a little business contact with Middle Earth, and there is no big problem in getting along peacefully, although these people are not stopped by the three major sects, it is rumored that the Wu people in Southern Xinjiang have a mysterious method, which allows people to come back to life, but for hundreds of years, no one knows the exact, just by people.

There is only no sect in the east in the four directions of Yicheng, but there is a mysterious clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, that is the Bai family clan, the most mysterious Bai family clan in Middle-earth has not been untouched with the outside world for thousands of years, but the number is still small, only a hundred years ago in a war between good and evil, the Bai family clan only showed a little, but still did not fully show its full face, if the three major sects of Middle-earth really want to distinguish the superior, the Bai family clan compared to these three major sects, I am afraid to occupy one or two, here three or two words are just a guess.

The path in the city of Yi is staggered, the strange is vertical and horizontal, a little lively to count the medicinal herb shop, every day of the market, many perennial outside to collect medicinal materials of the traders gathered here, to the passers-by monks to sell the collection of various precious medicinal materials, spiritual objects, treasures mostly appear here, ordinary people can not see the treasure is different, so only a few people can find the treasure, and return a big deal.

"Little brother, I have all the medicinal materials you want, if you have the right price, I can sell them to you." "A vendor saw someone coming, and hurriedly stepped forward, not because Chu Hao was still young, there was no shortage of people who came here, and it was very common for people to be as old as Chu Hao.

There are a lot of vendors around, all trying their best to tell the people who come and go about the medicinal materials they have obtained from other places, about thirty or forty people, these perennial traders are a lot of vendors, in order to support their families, even if the hard work is worth it in the hearts of these people.

Looking around left and right, Chu Hao didn't find that familiar figure, so he couldn't be a little surprised. When I used to come with my father. Uncle Wang is usually here. But why was there no trace today, so he walked up to a vendor and asked, "Little brother, why isn't Uncle Wang here here?"

The young man who was asked by Chu Hao looked at Chu Hao with strange eyes, as if he wanted to see through Chu Hao's identity, and did not answer Chu Hao's question.

So Chu Hao said again: "I am a relative of Uncle Wang, and I was entrusted by my father to come to Uncle Wang." ”

Heard Chu Hao's words. The young man's puzzled gaze swept away, but it was still a little strange, and he pointed ahead and said, "You go a few steps forward, and then turn left at the first alley, where his house is." ”

"Thanks, little brother. ”

Walking in the direction pointed by the young man, step by step, the surrounding vendors were talking, and they heard that Chu Hao was here to find Uncle Wang, and they didn't know what they were whispering. After listening for a few minutes, Chu Hao didn't hear anything. and did not stop.

A wooden house appeared in front of him, the door closed, and the voice of the voice inside could be faintly heard, as if it was shouting something, as if it was not as calm as it seemed outside.

Knocking on the door gently, the sound in the house was a little quieter, but it didn't stop, squeak, the door opened, and a woman about forty years old appeared in front of her, her eyes were blank, and the wrinkles on her forehead looked extraordinarily old, as if she had experienced something, and when she saw Chu Hao outside the house, the woman showed doubts and asked, "Who are you?"

Although puzzled, Chu Hao still replied: "I am the son of Orion in Yinming Village, my father asked me to come to see Uncle Wang, I didn't find Uncle Wang in the market, and a little brother said that Uncle Wang lives here, so I came." ”

When the woman heard Chu Hao's words, she hesitated, but still opened the door a little, turned sideways and said, "Come in." ”

After Chu Hao entered the house, the door slammed shut again, and the shouting inside was clearly heard, it was a man shouting, like fear, and as if he was struggling.

Seeing Chu Hao's expression, the woman beside her spoke, and said to Chu Hao: "You are the son of Chu Chaijiang, my husband talked about you, and he didn't go to the market today because something happened at home." ”

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the voice of the man inside, Chu Hao had some uneasy premonitions in his heart and asked.

"After your Uncle Wang came back from outside a few days ago, he has been sullen, and he will always wake up from his sleep at night, I asked him, he didn't say anything, and he couldn't eat much at every meal, and the night before yesterday, as he has done these days, he woke up from his sleep, but when he woke up, he kept screaming, and I refused to stop no matter how I persuaded him. ”

"What do you mean?" Chu Hao looked at the room where the shouting sound came out and guessed a few points.

"He's crazy. ”

Wiping her moist eyes, the woman nodded and said, There is only one pillar in the house, once it falls, it will make her much older in an instant, and some of the vendors around this news have heard about it, so when they hear that someone is looking for Uncle Wang in the bazaar, they will look at Chu Hao with that eye.

Chu Hao, who heard the news, couldn't help but be stunned, his father asked him to join Uncle Wang, but Uncle Wang was crazy, what should he do now. Take off the bag on your back and say to the woman who is crying in front of you, the package is a Ganoderma lucidum, you can exchange it for some money.

When the woman heard the words, she was also stunned, and looked at Chu Hao suspiciously.

"This Lingzhi, I don't take your money, and I can get by for some time if I exchange it for some money. Chu Hao said silently.

"You're a good person. ”

Wiping away the tears, the woman put away the package, realized that the young man in front of her was still standing, and hurriedly pulled out a bench, wiped off the dust accumulated on it with a rag, let Chu Hao sit down, and went to make tea again.

"No need, let me see Uncle Wang. Chu Hao hurriedly said.

The woman pointed to the room and motioned for someone to be inside, and Chu Hao walked over and pushed the door open. When the people inside saw the door being pushed open, they shouted again.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me. The man inside curled up in a ball and looked at Chu Hao who came in in horror, the latter sighed, then walked out of the room and closed the door gently.

The woman made tea, brought it to the table, and said to Chu Hao: "You came from afar and didn't take good care of you, please forgive me." ”

Chu Hao smiled bitterly, he couldn't hear Uncle Wang's words, but there was no arrangement, and his father didn't know where to go now, so he asked, "Where did Uncle Wang go before he came back?"

"I heard from the people who went with them that several waves of people went up the mountain to collect medicine in the eastern suburbs, and when they came back, they didn't see his team of people gathering, and they went up the mountain to look for them, and only found your Uncle Wang fainting on the ground, so they sent the people back, and the rest of the people were gone, and there was no news from those families now. The woman who began to cry slowly said while saying that, suddenly remembered something, the woman took out a box from the cabinet behind her, and said: "When he came back, he still had this thing in his hand, and I don't know what it was, I put it away after he went crazy, you see what it is, you don't just throw it away, I don't want to take it to the market to sell, and it's not a good thing to make my man crazy."
