The calm village is lit with smoke in the rising morning light. The smoke swayed upwards and eventually disappeared under the blue sky.

One villager after another is busy working, but there is one place, but there is something different.

It's a pretty dilapidated room. The gate was closed, and from the crack in the door, it seemed to be overgrown with weeds, as if no one had been here for a long time.

"What the hell, what the hell!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a hoe on his back ran over with an anxious face. He dragged the old man who was standing quietly on the road, "Who are you? Not from this village, right? In the past few days, there have been immortals in our village who have come to rob things, and they will kill those who don't like it...... Ouch, it's scary to think about. ”

"Grab something?" asked the old man in black with his mouth open and a hoarse voice. "How could they steal your things?"

"How do I know? The old man patted his chest, and seemed to still have palpitations, "No, they only came yesterday and ransacked the village." Those immortals can fly, but they don't seem to be good people, so you'd better not stay here!"

"Thank you. Li Mucheng replied politely.

The old man in black is none other than Li Mucheng. He's been standing outside the door for half an hour since he's arrived. When he saw his old mansion so dilapidated, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Now he didn't dare to enter the old mansion, and he didn't even dare to release his spiritual sense to check it.

He was afraid that he would see the last thing he wanted.

"By the way, old man, is there still anyone living in that house?"

"What?" The old man with the hoe heard Li Mucheng call him, and his eyes were about to fall off in surprise, "You call me an old man?"

"Ahem......" Li Mucheng coughed twice in embarrassment. He forgot that he was now an old man in his sixties. In the cultivation realm, being in their sixties can be compared to young children in the eyes of mortals, but for these mortals, they are already old people. "I mean...... Brother, is there anyone living in that house?"

"Yes, why not!" the old man glared, "there is an old woman living inside, who is said to be over eighty years old. It's almost ninety, and I don't have any children or anything. I heard that her child died early, and she was left with a daughter, who was snatched away when she was in her twenties. ”

Li Mucheng's body trembled a little, and a pair of fists clenched together. The little black dog beside him seemed to sense something, and stepped forward and rubbed his leg with his head.

"But brother, I'm telling you, you'd better not go there. Did you know that we have one of the biggest forces here, called the Cult of Optimism? This Optimus Cult has existed since a hundred years ago. I don't know why, sixty years ago, the Optimus Sect released a word that whoever dared to take care of the people living in it would be killed. A few blind dates didn't believe it, but it didn't take long for their bodies to be found in the mountains. The hoe man smacked his lips with a look of pity, "It's a pity...... Alas. I said, brother, you should leave quickly. Hell knows if those immortals will come today. ”

"I see, you go get busy first. ”

As he spoke, Li Mucheng took a step and walked towards the dilapidated courtyard. The hoe-headed man behind him was just about to leave, but he suddenly discovered Li Mucheng's movements, and his heart was shocked, he hurriedly shouted: "I said brother, why are you going? You don't want to kill you?! Beware of letting the Optimus Sect know, you won't survive...... Oops, why are you still leaving......"

didn't pay attention to him, after trotting all the way, before Li Mucheng could make any moves, the black dog beside him suddenly jumped up and crashed through the broken gate.

Although the gate is rusty, it is iron after all......

This scene made the old man with the hoe behind him grow his mouth and shocked his heart......

Feeling a flower in front of him, he rubbed his eyes, but found that the old man in black just now was no longer in front of him, and disappeared in an instant, not knowing where he went.

"Did he really go in?"

The old man with the hoe rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself incredulously. After a moment, he opened his legs, as if to leave, but suddenly stopped in place, as if in a struggle.

"Do you want to go in...... Why don't you go in and have a look...... Anyway, the people from the Cult aren't here, and they won't know I'm in. In case something really happens, I'll say the guy opened the door, and I just want to go and pull him out......"

As he spoke, he put the hoe on the wall to the side, but he crept in.

The moment he walked into the dilapidated courtyard and entered the house, the scene in front of him almost made his jaw drop on the ground.

The old man in black just now knelt on the bed in front of him at this moment. And on that bed, there was a dried corpse. Looks...... It seems to have been dead for a long time. It is better to say that it is a dry corpse, but it is better to say that it is a skeleton.

......

Tears slipped silently from Li Mucheng's eyes. The helplessness in his heart covered him like a tide. He knew that after fifty years of not coming back, the chances of his mother still alive were very small. But the last thing he wanted to see happened in front of him, so that no one could stand it.

"Mother...... I'm late...... I'm sorry for you, it's all the city'......"

Li Mucheng roared in the sky, and the tears of sorrow slid down, so that others couldn't help but indulge in his sadness.

Beside him, the black dog lay at his feet, looking at him with pity and bewilderment.

Seeing this scene, the worldview of the hoe man seemed to collapse......

"This ...... How is this possible? I saw that old woman through the crack in the door a few days ago, how could she be a skeleton today?"

At the moment when these words fell, there were suddenly several rapid coughs from the inner room. Immediately afterwards, an old woman lifted the curtain and walked over. Seemed to be very familiar with this place, the old woman walked straight to the bed, touched the skeleton on the bed, and made sure that the skeleton was still there, the expression on the old woman's face slowed slightly, as if relieved.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" the old woman seemed to be in poor health, and she coughed violently between her words. Finally, she lowered her head and muttered to herself, "It's been decades, and no one has come to my wife's place." Who are you sacred, and how dare you come into this room?"

Li Mucheng opened his mouth, he had fantasized about many words after meeting his mother, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

The moment the old woman appeared, he recognized the old woman, she was none other than the mother he still missed.

It's just that, from beginning to end, this old woman has never looked at them. Those dirty eyes seemed to be unable to see anything clearly.

"Who is it? How dare you ignore what our Optimus Sect says? I think you're tired of being crooked, aren't you?"

Suddenly, two streamers of light suddenly shot into the room from the outside. With a rampant shout, the hoe man suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Immortal...... Immortals!"
