At midnight in late autumn, successive rainy days shrouded the mountain city. The drizzle kept falling, the sky was cloudy, and the moon and stars could not be seen.
At this moment, suddenly a bolt of thunder and lightning fell from the sky, hitting the mountain forest fiercely, and a burst of fire burst into the sky.
But the light did not start a fire, and it went out quickly, and no one noticed it.
I stood up slowly, walked out from the flames, looked up at the sky, took a breath of air, and a familiar smell filled my chest cavity.
I'm finally back.
After nearly thirty years, I finally returned to my hometown again, to this place that has appeared in my dreams countless times.
For a time, tears filled my eyes.
When I came to the Medical King Sect, I found that this sect has developed very large. There were only a few buildings before, but now it is densely packed, occupying the entire mountain range. The spiritual plants in the Lingzhi Garden are growing very well, and there are some very rare and precious spiritual plants.
I am very relieved, it seems that the Medical Wang Sect has developed very well.
I didn't disturb them, and quietly found a place with plenty of spiritual energy, gave my clone a white jade fruit for nourishing the soul, buried her in the ground, and set up a spirit-gathering formation to keep her warm.
After doing all this, it was already dawn, and I came to the city. Over thirty years, this beautiful mountain city has changed a lot.
Technology is more developed, cities are more prosperous, and there are more and more supernatural beings.
I stood in front of the Jiefangbei and looked at this tall building, as if it had been a lifetime.
Things are not, people are not.
Perhaps, nothing has changed, only myself.
I found a cafe, ordered a latte as before, sat in the window seat, and watched the busy traffic outside the window.
I was supposed to meet my relatives and friends, but for some reason, I was a little afraid to meet them.
This is the so-called timidity of being close to home.
Suddenly, a mysterious breath approached, I suddenly turned around and saw a familiar figure walking towards me.
He sat across from me, looking at me deeply, with something inexplicable in his eyes.
After a long time, he said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it, but you're back."
I raised the corners of my mouth, smiled, and said, "You don't seem to want me back, Dongyang."
That's right, he is my disciple—Xiang Dongyang.
I haven't seen him in thirty years. He has changed a lot. He is no longer the weak boy who needed my protection.
"Did you not succeed in ascension?" I asked, "Your current cultivation level...is an Earth Immortal."
Xiang Dongyang nodded and said, "Three years ago, I could have ascended."
"In that case, why don't you go?" I frowned, did he fail voluntarily
Under the Nine Layers of Thunder Tribulation, he can actually leave as he wants and stay as he wants. How strong is he
"Muzi is still close to ascending, I have to wait for her." As soon as Li Muzi was mentioned, Xiang Dongyang's eyes were full of love, and he said, "Also, I want to see you again, Master, I have something in my heart that I want to tell you. You, if I hide it from you, there will always be a knot in my heart, and I won't make much achievements in the heavens in the future."
I sighed softly, and said, "Back then, in that western hell, have you already been taken away?"
Back then, Tang Mingli, Yin Shengyao, and I went to the Land of Wailing, but he was left outside alone, and quietly ran out of the defensive formation I set up for him.
Later, he told me that it was a blessing in disguise for him, he found the corpse of an ancient power from another world, and got his inheritance.
At that time, I suspected that he had been taken away, but he let me into his sea of consciousness without reservation. I checked, and he was not taken away.
For many years after that, I have been wondering.
Had he been taken away in the first place
He shook his head and said, "Master, I wasn't taken away at that time, but I didn't get any inheritance either. That great power from another world died so badly that he didn't leave anything behind."
My eyes were full of doubts, I looked at him deeply, and said, "Who the hell are you?"
He ordered a cappuccino and said, "Master, actually... I come from another world."
My heart trembled, and sure enough...
He looked out of the window, feeling nostalgic, and sighed: "The world I live in is a cultivation civilization. I was born in a small fishing village, and my parents were both fishermen. Near my hometown, there is a big Zongmen, every sixty years, they will go to the surrounding villages to find young people with spiritual roots, and they will be brought into the sect to train them."
"I was lucky enough to be selected. The three spiritual roots are neither good nor bad. I barely entered the outer sect and became an outer sect disciple."
"It took me three hundred years to become a monk in the fusion period step by step. At the critical moment of my promotion, my Taoist companion betrayed me, and together with my most beloved disciple, they drove me into a place of eternal doom." land."
"I'm not reconciled. Just before I got a treasure, my soul was attached to that treasure. When I came back to my senses, I had traveled through time and space, came to the earth, and was born in my mother's life." After I was born, my father gave me a name—Xiang Dongyang.”
I suddenly realized, no wonder I always thought he was weird, but I couldn't find evidence that he was taken away. It turned out that he was not taken away, but reincarnated.
"In that case, why did you have such a bad time before?" I asked.
Xiang Dongyang said: "My meridians were sealed and I lost my memory. After you unblocked my meridians, my memory was completely restored."
I nodded and said, "I see."
Xiang Dongyang seemed to have vomited out many years of heart knots, with a relaxed face.
I looked at the cup, the coffee was already finished, I ordered another cup, and said, "How are they doing?"
Xiang Dongyang said: "Muzi will be able to ascend in one step, half a year at most."
After a pause, he continued: "Shen Anyi was the first to ascend. A few years later, Shangguan Yun also ascended, followed by Bai Ningqing, Xu Yongyi, and Huangfu Lianhua."
"They've all ascended, that's good, I'm relieved." My heart was warm and happy, "By the way, where's Ashin? Where's Yun Yongqing?"
"Yun Yongqing has become the supreme leader of casual cultivators in the southwest region." Xiang Dongyang said, "Ashin is the founder of the Medical King Sect. He married Huangfu Lianhua 20 years ago, but his talent is weaker. Some, Huangfu Lianhua has already ascended, but he has been stuck at the peak of the god level for almost ten years, and he has never been able to break through."
I nodded thoughtfully, and said, "How is Doctor Wang Zong doing now?"
"Yiwangzong formally merged with Yaowang Valley fifteen years ago and became the largest sect in China." He said, "Now 70% of the pills in China come from Yiwangzong, Yiwangzong His disciples also broke through ten thousand."
I was relieved, and said: "Ashin has fulfilled his promise back then and carried forward the doctor Wang Zong. Sheng Yao will be very happy to hear the news."
As I said that, I looked up at him and said, "Does Muzi know that I'm back?"
"She doesn't know yet." Xiang Dongyang said, "I found out that there was a fire falling last night. I went to check in the forest and found your breath in the air, so I guessed that you came back. I will notify her now. "
I pressed his hand and said, "No need."
Xiang Dongyang looked at me without knowing it, and I said: "So what if we see you again, we have to say goodbye after all, and it is better not to see you than to experience the pain of parting again."
"But..." Xiang Dongyang wanted to say something, I smiled at him and said, "Besides, I left one thing behind."
Xiang Dongyang asked strangely: "What is it?"
I smiled without saying a word, took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun bag and handed it to him, and said, "Give this to Ashin for me, and tell him that it was given to him by his master. He is Yin Shengyao's biggest pride."
"Master." Seeing me getting up to leave, Xiang Dongyang hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"
I didn't look back, smiled, and said, "I'm going to go around to see the changes on the earth, and I'll tell him after I go back."
Xiang Dongyang looked at my back and sighed deeply.
It took me three days to roughly walk the earth.
The earth has changed a lot, especially China.
After the catastrophe in China that year, it was quickly rebuilt. There are many different people in China, and the national power has been greatly improved. Many people who have obtained mental powers have lit up the technology tree, allowing the country's technology and abilities to develop together. , Gradually left all other countries behind, and now it has become the world's largest, even Citigroup has to be ranked behind.
Thirty years have passed, and the sea has changed.
This night, I stayed in a five-star hotel in Miami. Although Citigroup's economy and national strength are not as good as China's, they still have a strong foundation and are still very prosperous.
I sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, drinking 8-year-old Lafite, and quietly overlooking the night city. (to be continued)
