The Dao Leader didn't return to Lingxuguan for the first time, but for some reason, he hesitated and walked alone in the forest on the mountain for a long time.

He sat down against a tree, all around him empty, his eyes covered in green, which soothed his chest that had been aching. He looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and suddenly he had an unrealistic feeling, and even his head began to dizzy, and suddenly he covered his forehead and smiled inexplicably.

He had never felt that death was so close to him before, but now that he did, he felt powerless. He is different from Zhi Dan, Rong He doesn't need him to worry about it after all, he once said to the Dao Chief: "Life and death are already an inconsequential matter for me, but you, when I first knew that you had taken Yun as an apprentice, I wanted to ask you how to take care of her at the expense of someone like you." ”

The Taoist didn't answer at the time, maybe he hadn't thought it through himself. But now that he knew, he said to himself, "I'm going to start sparing my life, and the rest will wait until Yun is an adult." ”

So he got up from under the tree, returned to Ling Xuguan, and lay on the bed and slept with his head covered for three days. He was so tired that he didn't have time to say a word to the two apprentices.

Yun Shu and Shen Tu naturally didn't listen to him and stayed in Ling Xuguan during the days when Dao Chang was away, to be precise, they didn't stay in Ling Xuguan at all. They went around the mountain in a big circle, helped the nearby villages and towns deal with many demons and monsters, and won a lot of praise for helping the Taoist, although these people didn't know who the Taoist was. As soon as the master returned, the two of them immediately became honest and stayed in the Taoist temple quietly, waiting for him to wake up.

"What's wrong with Master? His face is almost as pale as yours. ”

"He's probably going to hibernate. ”

"Nonsense, summer isn't over yet. ”

Yun casually reached out a hand and caught a ginkgo leaf that had fallen from the tree, and she was surprised to find that the leaf had already turned a little yellow.

"I want to see Master. ”

"He's still sleeping, and he'll come out when he wakes up, so it's better not to disturb him. ”

Yun casually lowered her head and played with the leaf in her hand, she looked like she had something on her mind. She used to tell her master and brother no matter what happened, but now she is silent.

"Senior brother," she asked, "when will I be as good as you?"

Shen Tu looked at her in confusion. Probably he never classified himself as "awesome", so she said he was awesome, and he didn't react for a while.

"I'm not great, but Master is great. Probably you'll be able to grow up - another ten years or something. ”

In his eyes, ten years is a flick of his fingers, but it is only a few hundredths of his life. But Yun's eyes widened in disbelief—"Ten years! Ten years is a long time—" She cocked her fingers and counted: "Ten years will be seventeen years old, and it will be a long, long, long time! A year is so slow, let alone ten years!"

What she didn't know was that because she absorbed the aura and practiced spells, she was no longer a mortal. But because she has learned too much—Qingqiu's spells, all kinds of small demon arts, the immortal arts of the Wind God's lineage, the spells of the underworld, and the Dao method taught to him by the Dao Chief—now she doesn't know what strange place she is developing, and in another ten years, it will definitely lead to thunder tribulation, and if she survives, she will be immortal.

Of course, that's all for later. Yun casually just wanted to make himself a generation of powerful immortals, so that he could help the Taoist slay demons and save the common people. Shen Tu then solemnly patted her on the shoulder in line with the respect of a junior brother for his senior sister: "Senior sister, you will definitely be able to." What does our senior sister have to do, where will she not be able to do it!"

Yun casually listened to this sentence, felt a little inexplicably familiar, and was suddenly stunned for a moment. She vaguely remembered that her grandfather had said to her a long time ago: "What do you want to be in the future? Salvation Woman? Hahahahahaha, what do our family want to do, where can we not do it! Grandpa supports you!"

The old man in his memory smiled very kindly, and stroked Yun's casual hair awkwardly with his big calloused hands. It was like the first time grandpa smiled at himself since grandma died.

Yun casually didn't speak, she lowered her head, but tears rolled in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Shen Di thought that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and immediately panicked: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?

"No," she whispered, "I miss Grandpa." ”

Shen Di didn't know that Yun Xian had a grandfather before, and neither the Daoist nor her had mentioned it, so he naturally thought that she had been the Daoist's apprentice since she was a child, and now he heard what she said, so he said, "That's not simple, you go back to see him...... Could it be that you were abducted by Master and can't go back?!"

"Grandpa passed away last year. ”

Yun casually was a little embarrassed to cry again, she reached out and wiped the tears that were about to fall, and smiled reluctantly: "He was killed by a monster." ”

"That's easier!" Shen Tu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, grabbed the book of life and death in his hand, and immediately began to flip it: "Senior sister, do you know your grandfather's birth date and name? I will look for it in this book, and I will know where he is reincarnated, and I will take you to see him!"

Yun was so startled that he couldn't say a word. She never thought that she would be able to see her grandfather so long after his death, and her eyes lit up: "I remember, I remember!" She scratched her ears and thought for a long time, and finally read quickly: "Bingshen, no more, Renwu, Gengzi - surname, surname ......"

"Don't look for it, it should be him!" Shen Tu became excited, pointing to a row of obscure words on the book: "The birth date is the same, and there is no child under his knees, and he died on November 22 last year!"

Yun casually hurriedly leaned over to look at it, but he couldn't understand a word. I only listened to Shen Tu read word by word: "My surname is kind, and there is no major sin, so I was reincarnated as the second son of Zhu Mansion in Guangyuan Town, and my Yangshou was seventy." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun casually couldn't wait to stand up, and at the same time, one foot had already stepped out, but he shrank back as if he thought of something: "You can't leave Master behind, you have to tell him first." She took out a folded paper crane from her palm and flew it out gently: "Go and watch Master, if he wakes up, tell him that we will go to Guangyuan Town and come back immediately." ”

She watched the thousand paper cranes fan their not very sensitive wings, and flew in crookedly, not wanting to delay for a moment longer, and immediately rushed to Guangyuan Town in Tongzhou with Shen Di.

This town is very different from what she has seen before, the river network is dense, five steps to a bridge, ten steps to a ferry, even the common people travel on the river in small boats, for a while I only feel that I can't even find the north.

"Boat family, boat family!" Shen Tu stretched out his hand to stop a black canopy boat: "Is there a family here surnamed Zhu, who just gave birth to a second son last year?"

"Of course there is, you two want to go, let's get on the boat. ”

This boatman spoke politely, and his tone was very soft and good. Yun casually thought that his grandfather was living in this water town, and his heart was sincerely happy, and he also smiled at the gods.

The boat floats leisurely on the water, the scenery seen on both sides is the pink wall and tiles, ordinary people sleep in the water, or water the flowers by the window, or tease the children, or float out the fragrance of food, extremely rich in life. Her body swayed with the boat, and she felt like she was going to fall asleep. From time to time, another ship passed by their boat, and the flower girl on the boat smiled shyly at Shen Tu: "Lang Jun bought a flower felling, and it would be good to bring it to this little lady next to you." ”

The gods then hurriedly took out the copper coins, and almost fell off the boat, and they covered their mouths and snickered. He bought a bouquet of wood hibiscus and handed it to Yun at will, the flowers were pink and tender, and they were very beautiful.

Next to this alley is the back wall of the Zhu family, come, be careful. ”

The boatman saw that the two were not locals, so he jumped up from the slat, stretched out his hand and helped Yun to the steps of the ferry, and watched as Shen Tu jumped up on his own before returning to his boat.

"Goodbye!" he said, shaking his fingers.

"Goodbye!" Yun casually followed him.

I don't know what the name of this alley is, it is zigzag, only two people can walk side by side, and there are high walls on both sides. Both of them came here for the first time, and they felt new to see everything, so they went around for a long time before they finally came to the main gate of the Zhu family's courtyard.

There were a few laughs from the wooden door, presumably a child playing games. Yun casually hesitated, just softly, stealthily peering through the crack in the door.

It is a small mansion, and there is a stone jar in the patio, around which several children are playing. On the bamboo stool next to her sat a woman with a beautiful face, she teased the child in her hand, and let out a few gentle laughs from time to time: "Huh-why are you laughing? Who is Xin'er looking at?"

The child babbled a few words and made a dissonant sound. He seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look at the door, but Yun Xian immediately avoided his gaze at this time. Her whole body trembled, her breathing was short, the corners of her mouth twitched, she turned around and hid in the alley without saying a word, and Shen Tu immediately followed, and saw her squatting on the ground, burying her head in the crook of her arm and crying.

"Senior sister......" Shen Tu said cautiously, "This reincarnation cannot be changed......

"No, no," she raised her head and grinned, but there were tears clearly flowing down the corners of her eyes: "I'm really happy, I think grandpa's life is better than before, I'm relieved." Thank you, junior brother. ”

Growing up in this gentle water town, how could she not be happy? I just hope that her grandfather will stay away from all demons and monsters in the future, and live a peaceful and peaceful life. She didn't know that this was also the old man's prayer to her in front of him.
