Qinghai Province, among the Qilian Mountains.
An old lady wearing linen clothes and a headscarf was lying on a bamboo chair in a thatched house.
As her hands danced, strands of air continued to twist in the air, and finally condensed into a handkerchief that exuded radiant light.
Suddenly, a burst of applause sounded from the door. The old lady in Mai was shaken and the movements in her hands stopped.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, haven't you already ascended to the Immortal Realm? How can you still come down?" After seeing the figure standing at the door clearly, the old lady Mai put down the Liuyun handkerchief in her hand, "Don't tell me that you failed to cross the divine tribulation again, and then got lucky. The soul has returned to the earth."
"Ahem..." Tang Xiu was originally preparing to say hello to Mrs. Mai with a smile on his face. When he heard Mrs. Mai's words, his handsome face turned red and he coughed violently.
Seeing the narrow look on Mrs. Mai's face, Tang Xiu knew that the other party did it on purpose.
"I made fellow Taoist laugh. I came here on purpose to visit fellow Taoist, and at the same time repay you for taking in the nine maids." Tang Xiu bowed his hand to the old lady in Mai as a greeting.
Tang Xiu respected Mrs. Mai from the bottom of his heart.
Compared with the rulers of all dynasties of China, Mrs. Mai is the one who sincerely protects China. For nearly a thousand years, Mrs. Mai has always been stationed on this land and quietly solved the problems for Huaxia. It has caused several crises of genocide, and at the same time it has also frightened other countries and forces from coveting the Huaxia Kingdom.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, you're welcome. I have a fate with those girls Zhong Ling. They have also solved many doubts about my cultivation. If I really talk about gratitude, it should be me who thanks Taoist Tang." Mrs. Mai did not show any special expression. Excited, but responded calmly.
Tang Xiu couldn't help but be startled when he saw this. When he ascended, didn't the old lady Mai once ask him to take her to ascend to the immortal world? How come that after decades, the other party was indifferent to the temptation of ascending to the immortal world
Soon, Tang Xiu knew what was going on, and he didn't know what kind of disaster the old lady Mai had experienced. At this time, she had very little life left in her body, and her vitality had also been drained away.
"Fellow Taoist, could it be that after I ascended to the Immortal Realm, another extraordinary person appeared on the earth?" Tang Xiu couldn't help but asked curiously after finding out the serious injuries on the old lady Mai.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, I am already on my deathbed, so you should stop teasing me. More than ten years ago, Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen successfully overcame the tribulation and ascended to heaven. I thought the difficulty of the tribulation had become easier. As a result, I overcame the tribulation two years ago. At that time, he almost died." The old lady in Mai glared at Tang Xiu, sparks flying in her words.
After hearing what Mrs. Mai said, Tang Xiu couldn't help showing an embarrassed look on his face.
"I'm really sorry. I ascended to the Immortal Realm back then because I was in a hurry to take revenge. I was afraid that my fellow Taoist would be implicated in heaven's karma by ascending with me, so I had to refuse. In order to express my apology, I also ask you, fellow Taoist, to accept my little kindness." While Tang Xiu was speaking, he pointed a finger at the old lady Mai.
Facing Tang Xiu's fingers, Mrs. Mai felt as if she was frozen, unable to move at all.
I saw green rays of light pouring out from Tang Xiu's fingers, and then quickly penetrated into the body of the old lady Mai.
With the influx of green light, the injuries in Mrs. Mai's body healed almost instantly, and the vitality in her body also increased rapidly. In the end, Mrs. Mai's appearance became younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After half a stick of incense, Tang Xiu withdrew his fingers and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Because Tang Xiu had just forcibly extracted the vitality of the Qiankun Tongtian Tree from his body for the use of the old lady Mai, he felt that this lovely old lady was worthy of doing this.
"This...this...Fellow Taoist Tang is so kind and virtuous that I can't repay you. If you don't dislike Taoist Tang, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse and let you be sent by Taoist Tang." Feeling the earth-shaking changes in her body, the old lady in Mai felt that Tang Xiu's divine power was While I was shocked, I was deeply moved.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you have been cultivating on the earth for thousands of years. Have you noticed anything strange about the earth? For example, many things that originally belonged to the immortal world and the divine world have appeared inexplicably on the earth." Tang Xiu smiled at the old lady Mai and signaled. Don't pay too much attention to the other party. After the other party calmed down, he asked softly.
"Fellow Taoist Tang said this, I really discovered a lot of anomalies. Although I am the strongest person on earth, there are many places that I can't see through at all, and I don't dare to get close." Old Mrs. Mai did not Knowing what Tang Xiu wanted to say, she echoed.
"What if I told you that the earth was not originally like this, but the former world of gods. It was only because of a great war that it became what it is today, would you believe it?" Tang Xiu stared at the old lady Mai, word by word. He said suddenly.
"What, how is this possible?" Mrs. Mai was stunned when she heard this, and then subconsciously retorted, but slowly she fell into deep thought, and after a while she said silently, "If the earth really was once the world of gods, Then what happened to me in the Ghost King Valley in Shenlong Ridge can be explained."
"Fellow Daoist Li, I have a heartfelt request. If it is convenient for Friend Daoist Li, please don't rush to ascend and stay on the earth for a while to help detect all the abnormal places on the earth. As long as Friend Daoist Li can provide me with valuable information, I will I will definitely give Fellow Daoist Li a generous reward." After hearing that Mrs. Mai also knew about Ghost King Valley, Tang Xiu's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice.
"Fellow Taoist Tang, I have been cultivating on earth for thousands of years and have developed a deep affection for this land. After the failure of the last tribulation, I gave up the idea of ascending to the immortal world. Now this life is saved by fellow Taoist Tang. Since Taoist Tang Wherever I am useful, I will naturally do my best. As for the reward, there is no need to mention fellow Taoist Tang." Mrs. Mai laughed happily.
After receiving Mrs. Mai's promise, Tang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
Star City, Hejie Old District, Shantytown, Sujia Restaurant.
Although the genius was bright, there was a long queue outside the restaurant, waiting for the restaurant to open.
After decades of development, Star City has changed rapidly, and the old district of He Street has been planned and rebuilt for a long time. Only the shanty town and Sujia Restaurant have been preserved. Only the outer walls have been renovated and decorated, making it a unique part of Star City. landscape.
"Tell me, will Cheng Yannan come over to attend Teacher Xia's 60th birthday? She was Teacher Xia's favorite student back then."
"I heard that Su Xiangfei invited Cheng Yannan. It's hard to say whether Cheng Yannan will come over to the banquet. After all, the Tang Empire is such a big place, and emergencies may happen at any time."
"I saw Cheng Yannan at a national press conference yesterday. She looked like a girl in her twenties. There were no traces of time on her face at all. She didn't look like a fairy in her forties at all. Same."
…
In the long queue, everyone was whispering to each other, and the focus of the topic was Cheng Yannan.
Although Cheng Yannan had awakened her powers, her cultivation talent was average and could not keep up with the cultivation speed of Tang Zong's army. Although Tang Xiu was willing to take her to ascend to the immortal world, Cheng Yannan politely refused.
The reason for Cheng Yannan's refusal is very simple. The Shengtang Group's stall is too big, and Long Zhengyu may not be able to handle it, and women are often more careful than men. She can't help much by flying to the fairy world, but she can take care of the Shengtang Group if she stays on earth. Good, let Tang Xiu have no worries.
After many attempts by Tang Xiu and Cheng Xuemei to no avail, they had no choice but to leave Cheng Yannan alone. At the same time, they handed over almost all of Shengtang Group to Cheng Yannan. As for Long Zhengyu, he was responsible for the management of Kowloon Island and other industries, devoting more time and energy to it. Put it on cultivation.
Nanzha Town, Building No. 9.
Before Tang Xiu left Earth, he handed over his house in Nanzha Town to Cheng Yannan. Cheng Yannan moved in without making any changes to the house.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Xia Mingjie's birthday banquet officially starts at 12:10 noon. Do you want to go there first, or wait until the birthday banquet officially starts?" Dai Mi, the tall and beautiful secretary, said softly while helping Cheng Yannan comb her hair. asked.
"Show me the list of all the members participating in the birthday banquet." Cheng Yannan did not answer Dai Mi, but ordered.
Dai Mi was stunned for a moment, then turned and walked into the living room, bringing in an IPAD developed by Shengtang Group. With a flick of her wrist, a list updated three minutes ago was presented in front of Cheng Yannan.
The first name that caught Cheng Yannan's eyes was Xia Mingjie, then Wei Zhentai and other school leaders and teachers from Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School, and finally the students that Xia Mingjie had taught over the past few decades. There were about three hundred people on the list, and Cheng Yannan only I got to know dozens of classmates from Class 10, as well as the school leaders and several teachers of that year.
Seeing the names of Wei Zhentai, Hu Qiu Sheng and Yang Jian on the list, Cheng Yannan frowned subconsciously.
You must know that Tang Xiu was almost kicked out of Star City No. 1 Middle School by these people. If it weren't for the strong defense of Han Qingwu, the head teacher of Class 10, and the sudden rise in Tang Xiu's test scores, Cheng Yannan wouldn't know if she would have the chance to meet him. Tang Xiu, and forged an unforgettable relationship.
Cheng Yannan wanted to call Su Xiangfei and ask him to remove the names of Wei Zhentai, Hu Qiu Sheng and Yang Jian, but after hesitating for a moment, she gave up the idea.
Decades have passed, why should I worry about those little things from back then
"Xiu, decades have passed, how are you doing in the fairy world?" Cheng Yannan refreshed the list twice, but could not find the name she wanted to see, and a sad smile appeared on her face. .
"Xiu, if you give me another chance to choose, I will definitely accompany you to the blue sky and fight in the immortal world."
"Xiu, it's not that I didn't want to ascend to the immortal world with you back then, but there were so many stunning beauties around you that I couldn't even feel my presence around you..."
Two lines of clear tears fell silently, and on Cheng Yannan's mature and beautiful face, her beautiful eyes with a touch of sadness were breathtaking.
