Chapter 22: Solace in the Heart
"At that time, after I killed that wicked man, I took off his head and prepared to return to the Heavenly Saint Sect to submit the mission, but just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard a heart-rending voice behind me.
It was a young woman with a very extraordinary appearance, this woman's abdomen was slightly bulging, obviously pregnant, seeing the head in my hand, this woman stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and then frantically rushed towards me, and snatched the head of the wicked man in my hand, I didn't know what the relationship between this woman and the wicked man I had killed before, but I saw that she was just a woman, and she was already pregnant, and I couldn't bear to hurt her, but I just told her that this wicked man was a heinous villain, and that I was a deacon of the Heavenly Saint Sect, but a disciple of the Immortal Family, and I killed this wicked man just to support justice”。
Speaking of this, Xiao Lao suddenly paused, his frowning brows showed an extremely guilty look, and then continued:
Seeing that the woman held her head tightly in her arms, and let the blood dripping from her head stain her clothes red, she quietly looked at the head in her arms, and her face suddenly calmed down from the previous madness, and then said to me with a very sarcastic expression:
Hehe, what Kuang Fu Justice, the wicked man you said is called Shi Yu, but it is just the younger brother of my husband Shi Tian, you keep saying that you are a disciple of the immortal family, and now you can't even tell who is the wicked person, it is really ridiculous, my husband Jun I am a human being, except for a younger brother who has done evil, he has never done anything to hurt the heavens and reason, and now he is so miserable that he was killed by you, it can be seen that this God is really unfair, hehe, it is okay if I die, but it is just that I am suffering from the unborn child in my belly."
When Qin He and Xiao Su'er heard this, their hearts were full of waves, but they didn't expect that their grandfather would mistake the brother of the wicked man for the wicked and kill the good guy by mistake, this kind of mistake is often the most painful, I thought I had killed the wicked, but in the end I found out that I had become a wicked person, thinking of this, Qin He and Xiao Su'er both showed a heartache look.
At that time, when the woman had finished speaking, she took out a dagger the size of a palm from her bosom, wiped it on her neck, and held the head of her husband, and lay down in the waves of blood.
And when I saw the situation in front of me, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and for a moment I only felt guilty to the extreme, I made such a stupid mistake, I am really sorry for the high expectations of the sect for myself, and I have no shame to return to the sect, let alone have the face to live in the world again, so I raised my palms, exerted my greatest strength, and slapped my heavenly spirit fiercely."
Xiao Lao wiped his red eyes, so many years have passed, recalling the mistakes he made back then, Xiao Lao still hasn't forgiven himself, so many years, every time he thinks of the scene at that time, Xiao Lao will be heartbroken, because there is no chance to make up for it, so he has lost the opportunity to forgive himself.
Looking at Xiao Lao's slightly red eyes, Qin He and Xiao Su'er also shed tears in distress, looking at Xiao Lao distressedly, looking at Xiao Lao's sad and sad appearance, the two wanted to comfort Xiao Lao, but they didn't know what to say.
"Grandpa, what happened later, what happened later?".
Xiao Su'er wiped the tears in her eyes and asked Xiao Lao softly.
"Later, I woke up inexplicably, and found that I was not dead, but the meridians were broken, the martial arts were all lost, and I became a wasted person, it was my master who saved me, and when I was bent on death, the master told me to live, because only by living, can I atone for my sins, and if I die, I will never have a chance again. Later, Master began to teach me medical skills, the art of refining the body and the art of Qi cultivation, at that time, I knew that Master was originally a strong man in the current Dragon Realm, one day a few months later, Master didn't know where to bring back a baby, told me that the child had no parents, let me raise it, so, it was also a good deed, Master said that he didn't know the surname of the child's parents, just follow my surname Xiao, a single name, be my granddaughter."
When Xiao Lao said this, he suddenly stopped, and looked at Xiao Su'er with a kind smile, when Su Er was very young before, Xiao Lao told Su Su about her life experience, because Su Su will grow up one day, and Xiao Lao doesn't want to hide her.
Looking at Xiao Lao's kind eyes, Xiao Su'er and his party instantly crossed her face, over the years, her grandfather has treated her better than herself, even though she has lost her parents since she was a child, and now she has her grandfather's only relative by her side, she is already very satisfied.
Thinking of this, Xiao Su'er threw herself into Xiao Lao's arms and said in a choked voice:
"Grandpa, I...".
However, before Xiao Su'er could speak, Xiao Lao gently patted Xiao Su'er and comforted:
"Silly child, grandpa knows what you have to say, although you have lost your parents since you were a child, grandpa will always be by your side, in grandpa's heart, you are more important than myself".
Seeing the situation in front of him, Qin He only felt a burst of warmth lingering in his heart, Qin He had never seen his mother since he was a child, and his father had never mentioned anything about his mother to her, and later, Qin He lost his father again, but fortunately he met Master, Grandpa and Senior Sister Xiao, which made him feel the warmth of his relatives again. In Qin He's opinion, the master is very good to him, and his grandfather and sister Xiao are like relatives to him, and Qin He is already very satisfied at this time.
After a while, Xiao Su'er slowly stopped crying. Xiao Lao saw that the granddaughter in his arms gradually calmed down his mood, so he said with a smile:
"Su Su, your Senior Brother Qin is still watching from the side, if you cry again, your Senior Brother Qin will see your jokes."
Hearing Xiao Lao's words, Xiao Su'er suddenly got up from Xiao Lao's arms, hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face that had not dried up, looked back at Senior Brother Qin behind him, and then his face flushed with a hint of redness.
Qin He only felt a little crying and laughing, but he didn't expect his grandfather to make fun of Senior Sister Xiao again, but Qin He didn't care about anything, and then asked Xiao Lao:
"Grandpa, what happened later, did anything happen later?".
"Later, my master taught me all the Qi cultivation and body refining techniques of the Hidden Dragon Realm, but he really didn't say a word about how to cultivate in the current Dragon Realm, I have asked Master many times, I can no longer cultivate, why did you teach me the art of Qi cultivation and body refining, but the master always kept silent, just told me that he would use it in the future.
That's it, three years later, the master took me back to the Heavenly Saint Sect together, at that time, the previous generation of the sect master of the Heavenly Saint Sect was still there, originally I failed to carry out the mission, mistakenly killed a good person, according to the rules of the sect, I should abolish martial arts and expel me from the sect, but my martial arts have been completely lost, plus the master is a strong person in the current Dragon Realm, they want to flatter the master is too late, how can they expel me from the sect.
I have the news that a strong man in the current Dragon Realm is the master, and it has spread throughout the entire Heavenly Saint Sect in an instant, although I have become a mortal who has lost all my martial arts, but whether it is a deacon, an elder, or even a sect master in the sect, they are all polite when they see me, so I live in the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Later, Master left, and before leaving, Master left me a lot of things, in addition to some basic exercises for cultivating Qi and refining the body, there were also some valuable things, such as the Yin Yang Pisces Ding in He'er's medicinal bath before, and the contents of the three wooden boxes we just opened, all of which were left by my Master before.
Later, after the old sect master returned to the ruins, He'er's master Xiang Qing served as the new sect master, and learned that the sect master's wife was accidentally infected with cold poison, and her life was in danger, so I took the initiative to go, using the medical skills that the master taught me before, and temporarily saved the life of the sect master's wife, but if I want to completely cure the cold poison in the body of the sect master's wife, I need the strong man of the current dragon realm to take action personally, otherwise the cold poison will only get deeper and deeper.
In order to thank me for saving my life to the sect master, Sect Master Xiang built me a mansion in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the Heavenly Saint Sect, of course, it was also so that one day my father would return here, and he could ask my master to expel the cold poison in Mrs. Xiang's body.
Later, as Su Su grew up, I found that Su Su actually had a spiritual root in his body, and it was still a rare wind spirit root in the alien spirit root, so I asked Su Su to practice on his own according to the exercises left by the previous master, and taught Su Su the cultivation method that the master had taught me before, and now, in just a few years, Su Su has broken through to the Ten Qi Mansions, and Su Su's cultivation speed is really amazing."
Speaking of this, Xiao Lao couldn't help but look towards Su Su, his eyes were full of love and approval, and then Xiao Lao continued:
"Because I have saved the life of the sect master's wife for the time being, the news that I will cure the sick and save people has also spread in the Heavenly Saint Sect, so if anyone in the sect is injured or sick, they will come to our Ming Medicine Pavilion to treat the sick and ask for medicine.
Once, an outer disciple came to ask for medicine, and this outer disciple was the son of an old friend of mine before, just before I owed that old friend a favor, in order to repay this favor, I left his son in the valley for a few days, and taught him some alchemy techniques, but I didn't expect that after these few days of teaching, this child actually had an epiphany, and the art of alchemy has been greatly improved in a short period of time, so the matter of my body refining technique has also begun to spread in the Heavenly Sage Sect.
Later, He'er was accepted as a disciple by the sect master, came to our Heavenly Saint Sect, and began to learn the art of refining the body with me, and after that, you also know, grandpa has nothing to say."
Qin He listened to what Xiao Lao said, and only felt a lot of emotion in his heart, Xiao Lao's life was extremely bumpy and painful, but, fortunately, grandpa still had Xiao Senior Sister and himself to accompany him, even if grandpa had made mistakes that he couldn't forgive himself, but, over the years, grandpa has been repenting, has been practicing medicine to save people, although it can't offset the mistakes made back then, but at least, you can get a little comfort in your heart.
