With everyone's help, Yu Yan's father's funeral ended quickly, and there was no essential difference between the funeral in their clan and the human world, and relatives and friends gathered together to remember each other's deceased.

Although the clansmen have given up their cultivation, they are all people with wisdom roots, and their behavior is very different from that of mortals, who are more or less afraid of death, and they instinctively think that if they die, they will disappear, and when they die, there will be nothing.

For most of the dead, all traces of him in this world will slowly be erased until he is completely covered by something else, as if he had never appeared.

There is still some grief for his relatives, and a large part of their grief comes from their own direct connection with the deceased, and most of this connection is the feeling obtained from the deceased or something that cannot be seen.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, this grief comes more from themselves, and has little to do with the deceased, as for those close relatives, they must be very sad in a short time.

This sadness is at first entirely for the sake of the deceased, and before they know it, they may feel much the same as those of outsiders, and they may not be used to it for a short time.

But time can consume something, no matter how heartbreaking you were at the beginning, such things happen all the time in the world, and disappear every minute, and so on and so forth.

The people of the Rui tribe, like all mortals, know that death is inevitable, and they truly understand, because they understand and do not do stupid things.

They never deliberately slow down the arrival of death, nor do they have any fear, and even they treat death as an after-dinner conversation, from the gray-haired old man to the babbling child.

If you're lucky enough to be here, you'll always see a family gathered around to discuss what happens to the oldest person in between, and the person being consulted is not only involved, but also the final decision-maker.

The most important thing is that they treat this simple as a small family meeting, there are always bursts of laughter from time to time, you don't have to think of it as a strange thing, your fear often comes from ignorance, when you really understand it, you will find a lot of things interesting.

After burying his father, Lu Yan went home to take care of his mother with a look of gratitude to the master, he didn't say anything, and Lu Yuanwu didn't ask, just let him go after a few simple instructions.

Mother's feelings for her father are different from others, although she knows very well in her heart, but after all, a person who has lived with you for hundreds of years can no longer accompany you, you can't see him when you open your eyes, you can't hear his voice when you wake up in the middle of the night, how can you have a process of adaptation.

For more than a year after my father left, my mother's mood was very lost, as I said earlier, this loss was mostly caused by unaccustomed feelings, and then gradually improved.

For the next few decades, Yan Yan stayed with her mother until the day she also died, and the day before her mother died, she called Yan Yan to her bed, and their conversation was no different from the usual, starting with the morning meal, talking about the mood, talking about the weather.

When all this was said, the mother stared at Yu Yan's face, her eyes were full of smiles, she stared at Yu Yan for a while, and Yu Yan also looked at her, the two didn't say anything, and time seemed to stop at that moment.

It seems that after a long time, the mother slowly raised her right hand and gently stroked Yan Yan's face, like a mortal, the mother is old, her hands are full of wrinkles, not as smooth as when she was a child, but still so warm.

The mother's hand stayed on Yan Yan's face for a while, her face was full of smiles, her eyes were very warm, and the corners of her eyes occasionally flashed a little light, and then the mother sighed deeply and put her hand down.

"It's good that you're still so young, it's good. ”

Yan Yan didn't know if her mother was saying this to herself or she was talking to herself, and Yan Yan could hear it, her mother's voice seemed to tremble a little, and after saying this, her mother leaned lightly on the edge of the bed, her eyes were closed, and Yan Yan knew that she still had something to say to herself, and she didn't leave.

Sure enough, after a while, my mother's eyes opened again, sat up straight, looked at Yan Yan with a smile, and asked slowly, "Do you know what day tomorrow is?" Yan Yan also smiled and nodded.

Mother continued: "It's good to know, I'm very happy that you can come down to accompany me all these years, although I know that we will have to experience this day sooner or later, but it is really coming, and I am still a little reluctant in my heart. ”

Yan Yan still didn't say anything, just subconsciously pulled her hand, her mother's hand was indeed very rough, Yan Yan suddenly realized that this hand was so thin, completely different from his impression.

Yu Yan then remembered that he hadn't held his parents' hands for many years, and he was no longer the child who pestered his parents, thinking about how fast time flies, especially in his parents, many things when he was a child were like yesterday, Yu Yan's heart suddenly began to feel a little depressed, and he looked at his mother and smiled awkwardly.

Mother seemed to see his thoughts, put the other hand on his hand, gently rubbed back and forth, Yu Yan also took the opportunity to lower his head, and when Yu Yan raised his head again, his mother still looked at him with affection, Yu Yan's heart was still a little depressed, and the moment he saw his mother's smile, there was more warm current.

Mother said, "I won't see you after tomorrow, which may not be a happy time for us, but for me I have been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

Yan Yan didn't quite understand what it meant, and looked at her suspiciously, and her mother pulled out a hand and arranged a trace of white hair on her face behind her ear.

"Although we have never been afraid of death, I am still sad when your father is gone, after all, I have lived with him for so many years, eating and living together, although when we get along with him, there will always be some unpleasantness, but there are more happy times, originally two unrelated individuals, after a series of things, they lived into one, and suddenly one day this one will be separated, and two can live into one, but one cannot be divided into two anyway, only half is left. ”

The tears in his mother's eyes finally flowed, and Yan Yan couldn't fully understand what his mother meant, but the depression in his heart reached its peak, and his brows began to wrinkle.

Mother didn't notice the change in Yan Yan and continued: "Later, you came to accompany me, although I still miss your father very much, but this longing is gradually replaced by other things, after all, I am still alive, and I will continue to walk, although my feelings for your father have never changed, in fact, if you didn't come down the mountain to accompany me, I might go with your father." ”

Mother never said these words, and Yan Yan never thought that his father's death would have such a big impact on his mother, Yan Yan didn't understand, although his parents also understood some of the ways of heaven, after all, they lived according to everything of mortals.

They can accept death itself, and they are no different from mortals in terms of other things that death brings, of course, these things are unknown to Yan Yan, and the reason is that he himself cannot tell.

Mother leaned on the edge of the bed again, her eyes looked diagonally upward, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "My feelings for your father are suppressed by me, because he is dead, I am still alive, and if I live, I have to live in a way, I have suppressed it for decades, and finally I can't suppress it recently, but it doesn't matter, after all, tomorrow's day will come..."

Mother said to pause, and then looked at Yan Yan again, "Although we are mother and son, you are a cultivator after all, you may not be able to understand what I said, I can accompany you at the last moment of my life, I have no regrets, and this life is complete." ”

That night, her mother said a lot of things, from her acquaintance with her father, to the bits and pieces of Yu Yan's childhood, Yu Yan just listened carefully, rarely talked, and her thoughts followed her mother back to the past, that night Yu Yan seemed to have a new childhood, and that feeling was great.

Finally dawn, when the first rays of sunlight shone on her mother's face through the window, her mother subconsciously reached out to block it, and then slowly put her hand into the beam, slowly shaking, looking carefully, the shadow of the hand was projected on the wall behind her, very beautiful.

The mother put down her hand and looked at Yan Yan again, the smile on her face slowly emerged, under the sunlight, the mother's face became ruddy, she gently closed her eyes, let the sun cover her face, and her expression was very happy.

"I'm going to find your father, I can't find it, I'll do my best, I'm going to tell him that I've been happy in the last few decades, our son is fine, I'm happy. ”

Mother didn't open her eyes when she said this, she was like a little grass bathed in the sun after the rain, very peaceful and content.

Yan didn't know when his mother had stopped breathing, and it wasn't until the sunlight slowly moved away from her face that Yan Yan took him out of the house, and there were already many people gathered in the courtyard, including Master.

Seeing Yu Yan come out of the house, Yu Yuan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, turned around, and three people came out of the crowd, took his mother from Yu Yan's hands, and put it on a cart prepared in advance.

Yan Yan glanced at his mother again, his mother lay there quietly, the smile on her face never disappeared, the chest tightness that Yan Yan finally disappeared reappeared, and she couldn't control it, this chest tightness was enough to heel Yan for half a year.

Mother's funeral was the same as father's, and it was quickly done with the help of everyone, and Yu Yan was also taken to the mountain by Yu Yuanwu, although Yu Yan was not sad after going up the mountain, but his mood was never very high.

Yu Yuanwu didn't know what was going on, although Yu Yan had been practicing for hundreds of years, after all, he was just a child, and he hadn't experienced many things in his life.

Yu Yuanwu wanted to enlighten him but didn't know how to start, so he had to care for him better and let him know that in this world, in addition to his parents, there was also a master.

Under Yu Yuanwu's care, Yu Yan quickly returned to his previous appearance, he was still very cheerful, and he treated people the same as before, but Yu Yuanwu knew in his heart that Yu Yan still hadn't figured it out.

One day Yu Yuanwu called him to the palace, and the two stayed in the hall all day, and after coming out, Lu Yan still smiled when he met people, and his smile was full of warmth, and anyone who saw it felt very comfortable.

No one knew what happened to Lu Yan that day, not even Lu Mu He didn't say it, but once he said to Lu Mu very excitedly: "You are my best friend, Master is my dearest person, God has never treated me badly, I thought I lost a lot, and then I realized that I gained more." ”

After saying that, he hugged Lu Mu, Lu Mu didn't understand what was going on at all, but seeing Lu Yan so happy, he was also happy in his heart, and since then, Yu Yan has always been like this and has never changed.
