Text Chapter 2 Parting
At noon three days later, the warm sunshine fell on every corner of Yunhai County.
Su Hong lowered his head, silently followed behind Su Dehai, and walked out of the Junlai Inn where the two had lived for three days.
Looking at Su Dehai's back, Su Hong, who was about to travel away, was entangled in his heart.
After passing through several lively streets, I came to Yunhai Wharf shortly after, and from a distance, a large group of people were standing in the gazebo of the wharf at this moment.
When the two of them approached, they saw clearly, there were men and women, old and young in the crowd, looking at those teenagers and girls who were about the same age as himself, Su Hong touched the tip of his nose and thought for a moment, and had an answer in his heart.
The moment they walked into the pavilion, the elders who came with their children, everyone looked at them, and after a while, they turned their heads to look at their children, and after some comparison, their faces showed various expressions.
The moment everyone's eyes condensed, Su Hong stopped, took a puff, and hurriedly stepped forward to follow Su Dehai.
Su Dehai turned his head to look at him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and walked quickly into the corner of the pavilion and stood down.
In the pavilion of more than 100 people, it was unexpectedly quiet, Su Hong looked at everyone with the corner of his eye, only to find that most of the teenagers were nervous, and those girls were holding the corners of their clothes with their hands, and their expressions were extremely nervous.
Among these people, Su Hong saw that there were so many people, compared to the rest of the teenagers and girls, their expressions were more natural.
The first person to catch Su Hong's attention was a big-headed young man, and beside him stood a burly man with round waist and thick legs.
The young man looked honest, when Su Hong looked at him, he also happened to turn his head and saw Su Hong, and then smiled at Su Hong, the burly man next to him glared at the young man, he quickly put away his smiling face and pretended to be well-behaved.
The other was a young girl standing next to a beautiful woman, with her big watery eyes, like two rolling pearls, turning back and forth in her eye sockets. The two small pigtails that hang down the shoulders will sway back and forth in the direction of the wind when the sea breeze blows.
When Su Hong looked at her, the girl also looked at Su Hong with wide eyes, and after a while, she saw that the young man in front of her did not take his eyes away, and the girl laughed, revealing a row of white teeth.
The beautiful woman beside her, who had been looking at the sea, turned her head to look at the girl when she heard the girl's snort, only to see the girl with her head down, her fingers on the braid hair hanging down her shoulders, and kept gently winding it, the beautiful woman shook her head helplessly, ignored the girl, turned around and continued to look at the endless sea.
The last person who caught Su Hong's attention was a young man in a golden costume, who was the most conspicuous in the crowd.
This young man in a gorgeous costume has clear eyebrows, a lofty spirit, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and he is holding a white stone in his hand, which he throws down from time to time, not paying any attention to the obese middle-aged man who is chattering beside him.
The middle-aged man's face showed a serious expression, and he bowed his head and explained a few words in his ear that he couldn't hear clearly, and a helpless look appeared on the young man's face, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to nod and agree.
The sun sets on the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, which is particularly beautiful.
Everyone had been waiting in the pavilion for three hours, but there were still no immortals coming, and there seemed to be people in the crowd waiting helplessly, so that they had been in the quiet dock, and there were countless whispering voices.
As the whisper grew louder and louder, a huge silver-white boat thousands of kilometers away broke through the dusk-shrouded sea and rushed towards it like a dock at a very fast speed.
At the same time, a small black dot appeared in the sky, and it was flying towards the dock like a meteor.
When everyone raised their eyes, they were all shocked, and then they saw clearly what kind of black spot there was, and it was clearly a young man wearing blue clothes who came from the sword.
The young man's body was suspended in mid-air, his feet stepped on the flying sword, and his body fell to the ground of the dock with a slight jump.
The flying sword floating in mid-air made a whooshing sound the moment the young man landed, spun around his body a few times, and then automatically inserted into the scabbard behind his back.
Su Hong, who saw this scene for the first time, was like everyone else, his heart fluctuated, and his mind was full of the scene where the young man in blue had just stepped on the sword.
"Immortal...... Immortals. ”
In the crowd, I don't know which teenager exclaimed, and the people around him were in an uproar, all like young people casting adoring eyes.
The young man was stunned, although this was not the first time that he had been sent by the sect to pick up and test disciples. But every time he faced the adoring gaze and excited words of mortals, he still took the trouble to enjoy it.
"It should have been almost four years since the last time I came to Fanchen to pick up and test disciples. The young man smiled and shook his head with emotion.
"Under Li Fei, a disciple of the outer sect of Penglai Sect. This time, he was sent by the sect to Yunhai to pick up and drop off the test people to Penglai Island, and all the men and women who signed up were divided into two teams to stand in the same way. You and other family members can wait in the sea of clouds for seven days, and after seven days, I will send back the eliminated people one by one. After Li Fei finished speaking, he beckoned to the young man in the crowd in a fancy costume, and said, "Senior Brother Ye, you come to me, you are a disciple of the Great Elder, so you don't need to test, I will take you to meet the Great Elder when you arrive in Penglai." ”
Everyone turned their heads in unison and looked at Ye Tian, a young man in a golden costume, with extremely envious eyes in their eyes.
Ye Tian walked towards Li Fei, and when he passed by everyone, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his expression was uncontrollable, but after seeing the girl standing next to the beautiful woman, his footsteps paused for a moment.
For the strange gaze of Ye Tian staying on her body in front of her, the girl didn't like it in her heart, her eyes widened, she snorted softly, and turned her head to look at the place where Su Hong was standing.
The girl's cute expression fell in Ye Tian's eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even stronger, and he came to Li Fei's side in a few steps, and after the two whispered a few words, they were all full of smiles.
"Go, don't be so honest as at home when you get to Penglai, the outside world is not as good as in Huai'an Town. Su Dehai handed the cyan package to Su Hong, waved his hand, and motioned for him to go to the crowd to line up.
After all the people who went to Penglai had lined up to stand, Su Hong still stood motionless. A cold sea breeze blew, and the silver-white boat appeared in everyone's field of vision, causing a wave of restlessness.
Su Hong raised his head slowly, and his lost eyes carefully stared at Su Dehai's wrinkled face. Although I have seen this face for more than ten years, it is still so warm and kind.
Su Hong held back the tears that were about to spread out of his eyes, stretched out his trembling hands, hugged Su Dehai's thin body tightly and said softly, "Grandpa take care of yourself." When your grandson returns after learning the skills, he will definitely take your old man to travel above the stars and see all over the mountains and rivers of Yueguo. “
At the moment when the boat docked, Su Hong let go of the hands that were holding Su Dehai, turned around and walked slowly towards the people who had already lined up in two lines. He didn't dare to look back, afraid that if he looked at his only dear person in the world, the tears in his eyes would rush out like a flood that burst the embankment.
The moment Su Hong turned around, his trembling words echoed in Su Dehai's ears for a long time.
Looking at Su Hong's back walking towards everyone, this old man with gray hair and a rickety back, he raised his thin right hand, wanting to call his grandson to him and say, Let's go home, we don't cultivate immortals...... , but he opened his mouth, but no words spoke.
His raised right hand stopped in mid-air, but finally fell weakly, and his feet fell back two steps as Su Hong walked towards the end of the group. Smile, a smile appeared on his old wrinkled face, if someone looked closely, they would find that this old man's smile was so bitter, so helpless.
After the boat docked, a long-faced young man wearing blue clothes like Li Fei stepped down from the bow of the boat. He walked a few steps to Li Fei's side and clenched his fists and said, "Senior Brother Li, are all the people who signed up here?"
Li Fei nodded at the long-faced young man, raised his hand to the people who had already lined up in two lines, and said, "It's all here, there is Senior Brother Lao Zhang, hurry up and arrange all these people on the boat." “
The young man surnamed Zhang didn't talk nonsense, turned around and came to the front of the two rows of teams, only to see his hand on the storage bag on his waist, and an extra pair of paper and pen in his hand.
Everyone who embarked on the boat had to give their name when they passed by the young man surnamed Zhang, and then he could see the young man sketching a few strokes on a piece of paper for registration.
At dusk, all the test people on board came to the stern of the boat and waved goodbye to their relatives standing on the pier.
In an instant, there was laughter and whimpering on the dock, Su Hong helped the boat, his eyes swept over the people on the dock one by one, but he didn't see Su Dehai.
When he wanted to shout the word grandpa, the boat was like a dragon in the sea, rushing quickly towards the boundless depths of the ocean, and after a while, he saw that the boat was already thousands of meters away, and everyone in the stern had already entered the cabin.
But only Su Hong, he was still standing at the stern of the boat staring blankly in the direction where the dock was, and he saw that on the other side of the dock, after the figures the size of ants slowly dispersed. But there was another figure standing there motionless, Su Hong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he knew that the figure must have been Su Dehai who sent him away from Penglai's gaze.
Su Hong bent down, knelt down in front of the ant-sized figure on the dock, and kowtowed three times.
It wasn't until the dock disappeared and night fell, and a full moon hung high in the air, that Su Hong turned around and walked into the cabin that emitted lights.
