"Hahahaha... I finally got out. Damn you God, you created such a desperate situation, but I still got out..."
His voice echoed all around, shaking heaven and earth!
This is an old man in a gray shirt, tall, with long snow-white hair draped to his shoulders, a clear face, and eyes as deep as the ocean, unfathomable.
After a long laugh, he hovered in the air, looking at the completely different world in the distance. He looked up at the long-lost sunshine and took a deep breath.
Feeling the warm air flowing into his body, the old man in gray narrowed his eyes.
"It's been 310,000 years. Time has passed so slowly. I wonder how the inheritance of the other four sects is doing now
I have been trapped for too long this time. Finally, I came to this place. It is so difficult for me.
I don’t know if there are really the legendary excellent spiritual roots in this ancient place where even the great powers of the immortal world failed to establish a sect. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a big loss?”
He felt the pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth, thinking in his heart.
"Well! Anyway, now that we are here, we must look around carefully.
Oh, by the way, did that kid named Li Yan escape from the cultivator named Ji? After this matter is settled, I must go back and look for him.
If he died, the monk surnamed Ji would kill him anyway. But if Li Yan was still alive, the Guishui Immortal Sect would have a successor. I wonder if Qianzhong, Ningke and the other four have found a successor? Alas! "
The old man in gray sighed in his heart. If he had known that he would meet Li Yan, he would not have come here. He almost got trapped in that desperate place forever.
"It would be great if I could find another disciple here. However, if I need to leave here, even if it means tearing through the void and walking into the endless turbulent space, I will never set foot in that world of ice and snow again."
The old man in gray looked back at the snowflakes and red lightning blowing between the two ice peaks. His face twitched involuntarily, and he was still extremely depressed.
Soon he stopped moving and disappeared into thin air, leaving behind two completely different worlds, which continued to alternate without change from time to time.
… …
In a mountain village outside the Shiwan Daqing Mountains in the Desolate Moon Continent, a man in his fifties waved a whip in his hand, shouted slogans, and pulled a full cart of rice back to the village.
Walking on the smooth bluestone road, the man looked particularly strong, his dark muscles bouncing vigorously in the sun as he moved.
The man's face was vaguely similar to Li Yan's, but his skin was rougher, darker, and had wrinkles on his face.
He greeted people along the way, his honest face full of smiles, looking extremely simple and honest.
When he drove the cart to the door of his house, he began to unload the rice from the cart with an iron fork and then spread it flat on the ground in front of the yard.
At this time, a young man in his twenties walked out of the house. He was as sturdy and strong as a man.
"Dad, how much is left in the field? You take a rest, I'll do all this!"
Hearing this, the man didn't even look up. He used an iron fork to spread the rice on the ground and flattened it, smiling.
"Oh, it's Wenwu, you're back. This is the last car. How many days have you been in the mountains? What have you gained?"
As he spoke, he continued to thrust the iron fork into the long ears of rice on the cart again, and then picked them up again with force.
The young man called Wenwu picked up another iron fork leaning against the wall, walked up a few steps, spat into the palm of his hand, and forcefully thrust the iron fork into the rice in the cart.
"Not bad, each household can get a pig leg and some venison and fur.
It's just that Grandpa Guoxin's leg was slightly injured, and he was pricked by a deer antler. But he will be fine after ten days of rest."
Hearing this, the man paused the iron fork that was picking up rice in the air, then he exerted force and flipped a small pile of rice onto the ground. He said with dissatisfaction on his face.
"I have long forbidden Uncle Guo Xin from entering the mountains. This time, I didn't go to see him because I had to take care of your grandfather and deal with things in the fields. Why did he follow me again?"
"Dad, this is not our fault. After we entered the mountain, Grandpa Guo Xin was already waiting there. He is more familiar with the way into the mountain than any of us.
We advised him to come back but he refused to listen. We can't force him to come back. We have already taken good care of him in the mountains.
But Grandpa Guoxin took advantage of our unpreparedness and rushed in when he saw a mountain deer fall into the trap.
In that case, if the injured mountain deer saw someone approaching, he would fight desperately, how could he protect the people around him! ! "
"Well, this is good. After being injured, let's see if he will ever go into the mountains again!"
The middle-aged man muttered to himself, but he also knew that "Uncle Guo Xin" could only stay at home for a short time, and then he sighed helplessly.
"I'll go see Uncle Guo Xin later!!"
The young man's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Dad, did you take the elixir left by Uncle Wu and send it to Grandpa Guo Xin? I've heard since I was a child that Uncle Wu knows an immortal, but why hasn't he come back once in all these years?"
The man shook his head when he heard this.
“Those medicines are long gone, but if we rinse the bottles with water, the water that comes out is still much better than our own healing medicine!
You should not speak so loudly. I have told you so many times not to mention your fifth uncle. You cannot mention it... Your grandma and grandpa got sick because of this..."
The man suddenly lowered his voice and reprimanded the young man with a serious face.
The young man immediately turned around to look at the courtyard gate, and seeing that there was no movement, he spoke in a low voice with a guilty look on his face.
"Dad, I just spoke too quickly. I must be more careful next time. I must be more careful. That Fifth Uncle..."
“No more talking, no more talking…” The middle-aged man waved his hand with a somewhat gloomy look.
Seeing the man like this, the young man named Wenwu didn't dare to ask any more questions. He knew that his father seemed to have a good temper, but once he got angry, he would hit people.
He would inevitably get a beating, and even his mother would not be able to persuade him. Of course, he had heard about the legendary uncle's deeds, and many people in the village had talked about the uncle bringing two fairies to the village, like a legend!
It is said that not only had he seen his fifth uncle, but that man had also held him in his arms. However, he was too young at the time and his memory was very vague. It seemed as if it happened, but it also seemed as if it did not happen.
He had heard stories about his fifth uncle from many people in the village thousands of times since he was a child, and in fact, he had already formed a clear picture of what his fifth uncle looked like in his mind.
But of course, family members knew best about his fifth uncle's life at home since he was a child, so he hoped that his father could say more about this mysterious fifth uncle.
It’s just that Daddy has always been taciturn and doesn’t want to say a word about anything.
The person my grandparents like to talk about the most is my fifth uncle. However, whenever he mentions him, my grandpa would remain silent for many days, while my grandma would mutter to herself all the time as if she was possessed by someone.
The most common saying is:
"Old Five, you forgot about me, you forgot about me..."
The man was Li Yan's third brother Li Wei. He didn't want to mention Li Yan, but he was thinking about him in his heart.
"Old Five, did you die outside? Although my parents have the elixir you left behind, their health is getting worse and worse. Heart disease is hard to cure!
You...are you dead or alive...you don't even want your family, your parents..."
Li Wei remained silent, and quickly spread the rice in the car and the rice from the previous cars evenly on the ground.
After the grains are almost dried, you can thresh and harvest them.
Li Wenwu asked him to go back to the house to rest, and he did the remaining tasks of packing up the cart and cattle diligently.
After being framed by his son, Li Wei walked silently into the yard and saw his wife coming out of the kitchen. The Xiaoyu from the past had become a middle-aged woman.
"Have you finished cleaning? Have a drink of water first, and you can eat soon!"
Seeing Li Wei coming back, she wiped her hands on her apron and spoke softly.
"Oh, where are Xiaojie and Xiaoyue? Where did they go again? Mr. Zhou went to the city today, why are they not in the room reviewing their lessons?"
Li Wei now has two sons and one daughter. The second son is fifteen years old and the youngest daughter is twelve years old.
It was almost time for dinner, and he didn't hear any sound from his children in the house, so he knew they had run out again. He couldn't help but frown and asked in dissatisfaction.
People in mountain villages have always been very casual in naming, and Li Wei is no exception. Except for his eldest son Wenwu, who has some hope for him, the remaining two children are just raised as cheap children.
It's enough to raise them to adulthood and have them start a family and career, so the name doesn't have much meaning.
However, since listening to Li Yan's advice, Li Wei has been asking them to read more, as Li Jie is about to take the provincial examination.
As for my daughter Li Yue, I just hope she can read more books. Maybe she can marry into a good family in the future because of her knowledge and good manners.
“They went to accompany my parents. My father has been smoking more and more recently and has been coughing a lot. He won’t listen to our advice and will just close the door when he gets anxious.
My mother always likes to stay in the side room in the back house when she has nothing to do. She would sit there for half a day, talking to herself.
So Xiaojie and Xiaoyue went to see them, and just now after Wenwu came back, he also went to see the two elders!"
Xiaoyu said with a worried look on her face, and Li Wei nodded when he heard it. Dad and mom loved these three children the most, especially Xiaojie.
That’s because Xiao Jie is 50% similar to Li Yan, especially his calm face and rarely speaking personality.
Of course he understood the meaning of the side room his wife was talking about. It was the room where he and Lao Wu lived when they were young, and where Lao Wu left behind a lot of gold and silver.
The family has built many spacious houses, but my parents won't allow us to touch that side room.
The most they did was to repair some damaged furniture and the roof. No outsiders were allowed to enter except for a few family members.
Li Wei sighed and walked silently to the back hall.
"Please bring the food to the back!"
… …
When Li Yan returned to "Holy Demon City", it was already the evening of the sixth day.
He had been calculating the time in the "spot of earth" before he cautiously leaned out and scanned the surroundings.
He was not worried that Zhao Min was afraid that something might happen to him. His life and death had long been one with Zhao Min's.
After making sure there was no danger around, Li Yan quickly walked out of the "earth spot".
But he did not stop for a moment. After collecting the "earth spot", he performed the earth escape technique underground. He then turned in several directions and escaped nearly ten thousand miles before he broke out of the ground.
Only then did he find the right direction and fly towards the "Holy Demon City".
Li Yan changed his appearance again this time, transforming into a middle-aged man. After paying the spirit stone again, he entered the city again.
Then, he stayed in some restaurants and teahouses to see if he could get any information from them.
After all, the commotion in that mountain range was quite big. No matter whether Dong Liqing was alive or dead, with the "Holy Demon City" so close, news would have been flying all over the place by now.
Afterwards, Li Yan heard the news that a Yuanying in the "Holy Demon Palace" had died and all the members of the "Ghost Dragon Clan" had been killed.
Li Yan was surprised and very satisfied at the same time.
He didn't expect that Dong Liqing would really kill him. Although he had such expectation before, he felt that it was more likely that the other party would come back alive.
He did not contact Zhao Min immediately, but found a secluded place to restore his appearance, and then returned to the shop with a fluctuating mood.
Li Yan had just arrived at the store and was frowning in thought when his expression changed.
