Two days later, Sun Yiqiu, Li Dongdong and Hu Yun were all at the door of the inn outside Tianniufang, bidding farewell to the scholar named Hong and the two old men.
In addition to letting the two elderly people rest during the past two days, several people also helped them to check the household registration at the county government office and check in the county. Hu Yun even asked the underworld to help look through the underworld books to see if there were any daughters of the two elderly people in Ning'an County. After a thorough search, although it still cannot be said that there were no omissions, it was basically confirmed that there was no such person.
Today, several people have to fulfill their promise and send the two old people home. Hong Shusheng happened to be leaving too, so he volunteered to take over the task and chartered a horse carriage to personally send the two old people back.
The carriage had stopped in front of the inn, and two old men were being helped out by several people.
"Come on, be careful with the threshold." "The stool is ready."
"Be careful when you get in the car, old man."
The two old men said "OK" repeatedly, then got on the carriage one after the other, sat down on the benches inside, looked at the four young people outside, their eyes full of tears.
"Good people, all of you are good people!" "My wife and I will pray for you every day, and wish you a long life and peace!"
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid I can't repay you in this life. If there is a next life, I will definitely repay you all!"
"Without you, we would have died in a foreign land!"
As they spoke, the two old men who were already seated in the carriage stood up and were about to kneel down, but were quickly stopped by Sun Yiqiu and others, and Hong Shusheng kept waving his hands.
"No, no! The two elders are already old, and giving us such a great gift is really embarrassing for us!"
"Yes, it's just a piece of cake." "Go back and live a good life, maybe your daughter will come back home!"
"Woo woo woo, well, thank you for your kind words!"
The two old people were crying so hard that the coachman who was waiting on the side shook his head and sighed inwardly at their pity.
After comforting the old man, Hong Shusheng bowed in front of Sun Yiqiu and others.
"All good things must come to an end. Brother Sun, Miss Li, and Miss Hu Yun, I will definitely take the two old people home and settle them down properly. But after this separation, I don't know when we will see each other again, alas!"
Sun Yiqiu was a little excited. He felt that he and the scholar had become good friends and was reluctant to let him go.
"Brother Hong, I am also very reluctant to let you go. Brother Hong has great ambitions. When you pass the imperial examinations in the future, please don't disown me as your younger brother!"
"Hahaha, Brother Sun is my good friend, how can I forget him in the future? By the way, it seems that Brother Sun is also very yearning for the outside world. Why don't you go out for a trip if you have the chance, or travel with me?"
"this... ... "
Sun Yiqiu was obviously very excited, but after looking at Li Dongdong beside him, he scratched his head.
"We'll talk about it when we have a chance."
Hong Shusheng did not force it. He looked at the two women on the side. Li Dongdong had been secretly looking at Hu Yun. Why was this androgynous Miss Hu more and more beautiful the more she looked at her? Even she was tempted by her. Fortunately, Sun Yiqiu had nothing else to do with her, otherwise Li Dongdong would have no confidence at all.
"Miss Hu Yun!"
Hong Shusheng bowed to Hu Yun. Hu Yun, who had been silent since the two old men got on the bus, just glanced at him.
"Mr. Hong, please speak."
"Uh, young man, I would like to ask, does the young lady have a boyfriend she likes?"
I love your sister!
Hu Yun cursed in his heart and said with a grim expression.
"No, but I don't have any romantic feelings for Mr. Hong. I hope Mr. Hong will respect himself."
The excitement on Hong Shusheng's face froze when he heard the first word. Sun Yiqiu and Li Dongdong seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak, and one of them sighed while the other laughed secretly.
"Yes, is that so... I hope Miss Hu can find her ideal husband soon. If you ever think of Mr. Hong, please... "
"Don't worry, Master Hong. It won't happen."
Hu Yun forced a smile, but it still made the scholar stunned.
"Okay, it will be too late if we delay any longer. Young Master Sun also needs to go back to help in the kitchen."
So cold! Li Dongdong and Sun Yiqiu both felt a little sorry for Hong Shusheng, but although the latter was disappointed, he was still relatively free and easy.
"Yes, I have my own things to do, so I can't stay here for long. What a pity! Everyone, I'll say goodbye today and see you again in the future!"
"See you again if we are lucky! Unfortunately, I wanted to go to the Wensheng Temple again, but I have already agreed with the driver on a time. If Brother Sun is free, please go there to offer sacrifices on my behalf and fulfill my duties as a scholar!"
"Brother Hong, rest assured, I will definitely go. Have a safe trip!"
"It would be best if I could get Miss Hu Yun to pray for me together, hahahaha!"
"I will try my best!" "It's settled. Don't forget your friend's request!"
Hu Yun glanced at the scholar, who quickly bowed.
Everyone said goodbye here, and the old man on the sweet potato and the old man on the carriage waved goodbye together.
The carriage was getting farther and farther away, and Hong Shusheng's faint voice could be heard: "The fallen flowers want to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water has no intention of lingering on the fallen flowers!"
After the carriage left, Li Dongdong couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft, this Mr. Hong is really interesting, and he is more pleasing than a piece of wood like you, don't you think, Miss Hu?"
“I guess so.”
This was considered a matter of course, and the three of them left chatting and laughing, and parted ways outside Tianniufang. When Hu Yun was about to leave, Sun Yiqiu hesitated but still called out to him.
"Miss Hu, if possible, I still hope you can go with us to the Confucian Temple to worship the Confucian Saint and pray for Brother Hong."
trouble... ...
Hu Yun turned around and glanced at the two of them. Although she looked like a weak woman, her look was very powerful, which frightened Sun Yiqiu and Li Dongdong.
"Okay, I'll go with you when the stall closes in the evening."
Sun Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
... ...
When Hu Yun returned to Ju'an Pavilion, he suddenly found that there was an extra person in the pavilion. This person was wearing a light yellow robe, with long and flowing white hair and beard. He was sitting in the yard drinking tea. The atmosphere in the yard was a bit strange, and no one spoke.
Hu Yun gently pushed the door open and walked in with a strange look on his face.
"Uh, sir, what's wrong with you? This is..."
Hu Yun was halfway through his words when his eyes suddenly widened. He didn't recognize the person at first because of the big changes in his aura and appearance. But now he saw clearly who the person sitting there was.
"God?"
Although the expressions of several people in the courtyard were a little subtle, Hu Yun finally recognized who this person was. It was Qin Zizhou, the God of Traveling World, who had also disappeared for hundreds of years and was truly above all the gods in heaven.
Influenced by the prosperity of the heavenly realm and the awe of all people and even gods, Qin Zizhou is now full of majesty in Hu Yun's eyes. Even if his divine power is not obvious, it is enough to awe people.
"Oh? That little fox."
Qin Zizhou nodded slightly. Hu Yun felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he walked in carefully, but still couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"What's going on? Sir? Shan Jun? Zao Niang? Ying Long Jun?"
Lao Long held the teacup and neither drank tea nor spoke. Lu Shanjun just stood behind Ji Yuan like a sculpture. Zao Niang walked to Hu Yun and tugged at his sleeve, asking him not to say anything. Ji Yuan rested his hand on the table and rubbed his chin.
"Mr. Ji, you asked me to take over the heavens back then, and I have done it now. I have always believed that you are still alive, but I didn't expect to have to wait for so many years. I have just said everything I should say, and I hope Mr. Ji will keep it in mind!"
Qin Zizhou drank the tea in the cup and sighed slightly.
"The tea here is still the best. In the past thousand years, I have become a different person. I really envy Mr. Ji for having such courage."
Hearing this, Ji Yuan stood up and bowed solemnly to Qin Zizhou. The latter was slightly stunned and quickly stood up to return the greeting.
"It is I, Ji Yuan, who have let Lord Qin down! Thank you, Lord Qin, for reminding me today. I will keep it in mind!"
"Sir, you are joking. Without Mr. Ji, there would be no world today. I have no apologies to say. Mr. Ji never forced me. Well, if I am here, the atmosphere will be wrong. Everyone, Qin will take his leave first."
Qin Zizhou accepted the gift and stood up, then walked out of Ju'an Pavilion and disappeared directly at the door.
“Huh…”
Hu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Lord Qin gave him a strong sense of oppression just by standing there.
"What happened just now? Isn't Lord Qin a good friend of yours? Why is he so depressed?"
Ji Yuan shook his head and sighed.
"Mr. Qin supported the heavens and was worshipped as the Lord of Heaven by all living things. Now he is no longer in control of himself. He is trapped by the heavens and the earth, and is also affected by the will of all living things..."
Hu Yun was slightly stunned and seemed to be thinking about something.
After seeing Qin Zizhou, Ji Yuan understood that Qin Zizhou was revered as the number one god in heaven and worshipped by all things. The will of all things and even the will of heaven and earth with three realms coexisting had deeply bound him, so much so that his appearance had changed, becoming closer to the "imagined" god of heaven, earth and all things.
Lao Long couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that he had been missing for so many years because of this reason. If Mr. Ji hadn't left the book of 'Heaven and Earth', Lord Qin would have lost himself. Alas, this was his choice. It is because of people like Mr. Ji and Lord Qin that the Three Realms can exist in a relatively stable state, and the destiny of heaven and earth is endless and long!"
Hu Yun is no longer the little fox he used to be. He has understood what was said. He was shocked and deeply moved. Then he asked Zao Niang beside him in a low voice.
"So Lord Qin is here to complain?"
Zao Niang gave Hu Yun a blank look.
"How can it be!"
Lao Long smiled and shook his head.
"When Lord Qin learned about Mr. Ji's behavior, he was the first to remind Mr. Ji. As the saying goes, those who abandon the world will be abandoned by the world! How about Mr. Ji, you can't be so carefree anymore, right?"
"Master, from now on, if there is anything, I will do it for you. Although I am very stupid, I have never neglected my cultivation. I will definitely be able to share your worries!"
Lu Shanjun bowed to Ji Yuan and spoke solemnly.
Ji Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You're making it sound like I, Ji Yuan, like to fight with people all day long. I don't have much magical power left, so I don't have the energy to do anything even if I want to!"
“Master!”
"Okay, I got it."
As Ji Yuan spoke, he also looked up at the sky, feeling quite sorry for Qin Zizhou. What would have happened if he had given up the power of heaven and earth back then
"Abandon the world? My fate is to abandon the world? I really miss the world. I just don't want to become a robot without any feelings. Turtle, do you have to hate me?"
