"Fountain of Life?" Wutan was stunned. He felt that these four words were very familiar, as if he had seen them on an animal skin scroll.
Coming back to his senses, Wutan opened the animal skin scroll and searched for a while, and finally found the information about the Fountain of Life.
Legend has it that in a sacred mountain in ancient times, there was a sacred spring. The spring water in it was incredibly divine, and the vitality was surging like the ocean. As long as you soak in this spring water, even the bones buried for endless years can be reborn!
Therefore, this magical spring was called the Fountain of Life. However, for some reason, one day, the Fountain of Life disappeared without any warning.
It caused a huge sensation at the time, and almost all the strongest people in the ancient times were mobilized. But in the end, after searching all over the nine heavens and ten earths, they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Fountain of Life.
After that, this magical spring gradually faded from everyone’s memory. If there were not some ancient books recording relevant information, it might have been completely forgotten by the world.
"Bone regenerated flesh, the dead resurrected. If we can really find it, Grandpa and Yi Yan can both be resurrected."
Thinking of this, Wutan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even those beings comparable to gods in the ancient times had tried their best but failed to find the fountain of life. With his humble strength, he better not daydream.
Seeing Wutan's depressed look, little Wuhao said unhappily: "Have some ambition, it's okay. The rare treasures of heaven and earth can be obtained by chance, not by strength."
Wu Tian sighed, looked up at Xiao Wu Hao, and said seriously: "Is there really a heavenly way in this world?"
In fact, this question has been bothering me since the first time I saw Xiao Wuhao. Xiao Wuhao always says that he is the Heaven of the Star Realm. Then, are there people like Xiao Wuhao in the Jueyin Ruins and the Samsara Continent who control the entire world
"I'll leave first! You continue to try your best." Xiao Wuhao didn't answer. He just laughed dryly and disappeared in a flash.
"you…"
Wutan was too late to stop it, and shook his head helplessly. Then his face darkened, and he instantly became solemn and cautious, staring ahead, because he knew that the king-level restriction was about to fall.
Sure enough, the next moment, Wutan found himself standing in an unfamiliar place. However, when he saw the surrounding scenery clearly, his expression suddenly changed, because this place was not unfamiliar, on the contrary, it was very familiar, and even deeply engraved in his mind and had never been forgotten.
I saw a mountain standing not far ahead, more than a thousand feet high, with lush vegetation, towering ancient trees, and rising into the clouds. From time to time, roars of beasts could be heard from the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a small mountain village. The village is very small, consisting of a dozen wooden houses and covering an area of only about one mile. It is inconspicuous in the vast world.
But it was this small mountain village that made Wutan stand there in a daze, unable to move, with an expression of indelible sadness on his face, because this was none other than Long Village, where he had lived for sixteen years!
"Is it an illusion?" Wutan knew in his heart that this was just an illusion, but the scene before him was so real that he could hardly tell whether it was true or false.
"Haha, Wutan, you're finally back. Where have you been these days? My sister-in-law and Grandpa Longshan were almost worried to death."
Suddenly, a silly laugh was heard. Wutan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly figure running towards him quickly. This man was none other than Long Hu. He looked at Wutan with surprise and joy on his rough face.
"Sister-in-law? Grandpa?" Wu Tian was stunned, looking at Long Hu who was walking forward in confusion, and asked puzzledly: "Long Hu, what are you talking about?"
"Wutian, what's wrong with you? Do you have a cold?" Long Hu put his rough big hand on Wutian's forehead and muttered in confusion: "You don't have a fever, but why do you look a little strange?"
"You bastard, you finally decided to come back!"
At this time, a hoarse voice was heard, followed by a hunched figure walking out of the village quickly with a cane, his old face full of joy.
Hearing this voice that couldn't be more familiar, Wutan's heart was shaken violently. He looked up, and when he saw the figure that he would never forget for the rest of his life, his head exploded, his body trembled violently, and even a stream of blood spurted out!
Isn’t this old and kind man the grandfather who raised me with great difficulty and hard work
"Tian'er, are you okay?"
"Wutian, why are you vomiting blood? Did something unexpected happen to you during the days you were missing?"
Long Hu and Long Shan hurriedly reached out to support Wutan, their faces filled with worry and concern.
"Brother Tian..."
At the entrance of the village, another woman in white trotted out and appeared in Wutan's sight. Staring at this pretty figure, at this moment, he couldn't help but clench his hands tightly, his heart filled with grief!
The woman in white has a slender waist like a willow, a slim and graceful figure, and looks like a fairy from heaven, with a graceful and beautiful figure that is beyond description.
The three thousand strands of soft black hair fluttered gently in the air, the long eyelashes trembled, and the black and white eyes looked around with excitement, driving Wutan crazy!
This woman in white is none other than the lover he has been dreaming about—Chu Yiyan!
"Oh, God, why are you so cruel? You have conjured up all the people I care about the most. How can I face all this? How can I give up all this? How can I bear to destroy all this with my own hands..."
Wutan cried out in grief and his heart was bleeding. Even though he knew it was just an illusion, a dream, he could not bear to destroy these dearest people in front of him.
"Brother Tian, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Let me take a look."
A simple word of concern completely broke down Wutan's inner defenses. Regardless of whether everything before his eyes was real or not, he planned to indulge in it temporarily and enjoy the long-lost care and love.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. I'm an unfilial grandson. I left you alone and made you worry." With a bang, Wutan knelt on the ground. As he knelt, his eyes quickly became moist and tears flowed down. He felt bitter in his heart.
"Silly child, you are grandpa's precious grandson. If grandpa doesn't worry about you, who else would he worry about? As long as you come back, it's good. Get up quickly." Longshan's face was full of kindness and love, and he helped Wutan up.
Then, Longshan took Chu Yiyan's hand and placed it on the back of Wutian's hand, sighing, "Tian'er, you've been missing these days, and it's been hard on Yiyan. She cries alone in the room every day, refusing to eat or drink. It makes Grandpa very sad to see you. From now on, you have to treat Grandpa's good granddaughter-in-law well, understand?"
"Grandpa, I will."
Wu Tian nodded, as if he had returned to his childhood, with a sunny smile on his face. Then, he held the tender little hand tightly, feeling the warmth coming from it, looked at her affectionately, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
"I'm glad you're back," Chu Yiyan smiled slightly, like a blooming lily, beautiful and moving.
Facing the lover who haunts his dreams, Wutan really cannot control his emotions. He holds her in his arms. The faint fragrance of her black hair wafts into his nose, so familiar and intoxicating.
Wutan felt a pang in his heart and his arms couldn't help but hug the woman tighter and tighter, as if he was afraid that the woman in his arms would disappear in the next moment. He buried his head deeply in her black hair, greedily sniffing the familiar scent, and his eyes had already been blurred by tears.
"Haha, you two are doing this in public. Can you wait until you get home, close the door, and then slowly get intimate?" Long Hu laughed exaggeratedly.
Hearing this, both of them blushed and quickly let go of each other, especially Chu Yiyan, even a blush rose on her jade-white neck. She lowered her head, not daring to look them in the eye.
"Tian'er, let's go home. To celebrate your safe return, we, grandpa and grandson, must have a few drinks. Tiger boy, you come too." Longshan's old face was full of smiles. He held Wutan in one hand and Chu Yiyan in the other, and walked towards the village with a smile.
"Okay!" Longhu shouted and followed happily.
"Ah! Come out and see, Xiaotian is back!" When the four people walked into the village, a woman who was washing clothes by the pond immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Wutan recognized the woman at a glance; she was Longhu's mother.
"Hello, auntie," Wu Tian greeted with a smile.
"You bastard, you ran away without saying a word and didn't come back for several months. Don't you know that everyone is worried about you? I'll teach you a lesson today," the woman said as she twisted Wutan's ear and scolded him.
Soon, figures walked out of the house one after another, led by a big man, about eight feet tall, with a naked upper body, several hideous scars crawling on his skin like centipedes, and he was filled with a fierce aura.
This person is Long He.
"You bastard, if you don't come back, I'm going to go to Huoyun Sect to find Lin Shan and ask him to help find you," Long He came up and slapped him in the face, his bearded face full of concern.
Wu Tian smiled, feeling particularly touched and a warm feeling swept through his heart. He bowed and said, "Uncle He and all the villagers, I'm sorry for causing you worry during this period of time. Xiaotian would like to say sorry to everyone here."
Long He nodded and said, "I'm glad you're back. You look dirty. Go back and wash up quickly. By the way, have some fun with Yi Yan, and then tell us where you have been and what happened these days."
"Haha, the young couple haven't seen each other for several months. They should spend some time together and give birth to a good baby for Mr. Long as soon as possible."
"Ha ha… "
The crowd burst into laughter, all happy for Wu Tian's return.
Wutan looked at the villagers he hadn't seen for a long time, and the smile on his face became brighter. The people here were simple and honest. What they thought in their hearts was reflected on their faces without any scheming. If possible, he would rather give up the intrigue-filled life in reality and live in this fantasy world forever.
Following behind his grandfather, holding his lover's hand, walking towards the so-called "home", at this moment, Wutan felt unprecedented satisfaction in his heart.
Maybe staying here isn't a bad thing.
Along the way, Wutan greeted everyone enthusiastically with a smile on his face that never stopped. Since he had decided to stay for a while, he had to truly integrate into this big family.
