"Fellow Daoist Lu, have we reached the Immortal Realm?"
The figure with his cloak lifted turned around and looked at the scholar who was also looking at him. His gaze then fell on the mountain scenery outside the cliff. The smile on his face gradually froze. The mountains were rolling, the fields were golden, and the village at the foot of the mountain were all quite familiar.
Gongsun Liao pointed at the familiar scenery outside, turned around and opened and closed his mouth slightly.
"Aren't we going to the fairyland... Why are we at Qixia Mountain?"
Seeing him coming out of "Boundless Mountains and Seas", Lu Liangsheng was quite surprised. Sure enough, after returning here, the book could be opened again. However, after hearing what the other party said, he remembered that they had not experienced another era. Now that they came out, their memory was still stuck in entering the book and waiting to come out to see what the fairyland looked like.
'It's really hard to explain...'
Seeing Gongsun Liao's puzzled expression, Lu Liangsheng had to re-examine what happened after his ascension and tell him again. He organized the words he wanted to say in his mind. The book on the ground shook again, and a light burst out in the picture of the page he was turning over. Several figures grew from small to large and stood firmly on the ground.
"Old demon!!!"
The black skirt was flying, and as soon as a figure appeared, she saw the scholar here, a surprised smile appeared on her face. The figure suddenly left a residual shadow, and passed by the old donkey, and threw herself into the scholar's arms, rubbing against his warm chest affectionately.
Cough cough!
The Toad Taoist straightened his robe, put his webbed fists under his chin and coughed twice. Then Qi You, who was buried in the scholar's arms, came out, faced over, opened his red lips, and stretched out several thin branches to roll up the short figure coughing on the ground. The Toad Taoist raised his arms, supported his chin with his webbed fists, and just showed a 'distressed' expression, he was lifted into the air and shaken.
Over there, Lu Liangsheng was watching three other figures gradually solidifying beside the book. One big and two small figures condensed with the wind. The two little figures that appeared first took two steps dizzy as if they were drunk. They were suddenly sobered by the scholar's sleeve. When they saw the people in front of them, their two little faces cried out in surprise.
"Master (Sir)!"
The two little guys rushed over and hugged Lu Liangsheng's legs, pushing each other a few times as if they were competing. It seemed that they had competed a lot in the world of books.
Lu Liangsheng looked at the two of them competing with each other, smiled, and stroked their heads. The two children felt the warmth from their heads and gradually calmed down.
"Sir."
At this time, a voice was soft and gentle, like the breeze blowing on his face. Lu Liangsheng raised his eyes and saw a graceful figure in a plain white dress. Her eyes were shining with tears and dimples appeared on her cheeks. She bowed slightly.
"Hong Lian..."
Lu Liangsheng pursed his lips, his smile grew wider, he walked over quickly, opened his arms and embraced the woman in his arms, smelling the fragrance of the black hair in front of him, feeling the warmth of the woman's face against his cheek, and the wetness of her tears, the scholar quickly straightened Hong Lian and looked at her in surprise.
"Hong Lian... has recovered her human form?"
Nie Honglian's face was covered with tears. She nodded vigorously with a smile, reached out and grabbed Lu Liangsheng's hand, and put it on her face: "Sir, please feel it. I am a human now..."
The woman cried while laughing, and was embraced by Lu Liangsheng again, and they stood at the edge of the cliff for a long time.
The mountain wind blew through the woods, with a rustling sound, until Gongsun Liao, Toad Taoist, Qingfeng Mingyue, Qiyou, and Old Donkey spoke up one after another, reminding people, "It's getting dark soon," "Get down the mountain as soon as possible and have a hot meal!" and so on.
The man and woman on the cliff separated, Hong Lian glared at them and blushed as she stepped aside. Lu Liangsheng looked at the sky, led the old donkey, and felt extremely happy. He waved his wide sleeves, turned around and walked to the foot of the mountain, walked on the country road he was once familiar with, and slowly walked towards the village bathed in the sunset.
There were also doubts about Hong Lian's sudden recovery of her human form. On the way, Gongsun Liao explained that it was because of "Boundless Mountains and Seas". It turned out that the dead could not be stored in it. As soon as Hong Lian's body entered, the book closed itself, pulling the eyes of the Ten Thousand Spirits Array in various places in the book, concentrating spiritual energy to nourish the corpse, and only then did Hong Lian's body recover.
So, the reason why it couldn't be opened in modern times was because "Boundless Mountains and Seas" was repairing Hong Lian's body at that time? In other words, this book can actually be opened in modern times
As he was thinking, in the direction of progress, Lu Liangsheng saw a beam of light suddenly rushing up to the sky in the distant sky, which made Hong Lian, Qi You and Gongsun Liao all stunned for a moment. The Toad Taoist sitting on the donkey's head lowered his voice.
"Liangsheng, this light..."
"It is the light that led me to the heaven... Lu Liangsheng is in the light now." Lu Liangsheng retracted his gaze. In fact, he had probably guessed the situation when he came back, so he was not too surprised. He explained it to Hong Lian and the others who were still unaware of it. When it came to the era after more than a thousand years, Hong Lian and Qi You asked questions about various new and strange things.
The Toad Taoist jumped off the donkey's head, returned to the bookshelf, took out his cell phone, waved it at them, and raised his flat chin.
"Look at this thing in my hand. Everything in the world can be contained in it. It can also transmit sound over a thousand miles..."
He proudly showed off to his close friend Gongsun Liao. While he was talking, there was a sudden loud shout of "Ha". Behind the cliff at the bend in the road, eight gray-haired figures appeared. Their burly bodies were muscular, and the sweat on their bulging chest muscles gave off a metallic luster in the sunset glow.
"Eight uncles, there's no need to welcome your nephew like this, right?" Lu Liangsheng looked at them and smiled.
Over there, the old man with his arms bent and muscles bulging looked at his nephew in front of him, made a gesture of surprise, and hurried over to him, "Liangsheng, why are you back? Didn't you go out to travel?!"
"I missed home, so I came back."
After hearing what his nephew said, the eight people were hugged by Lu Liangsheng one by one before they could come to their senses. They looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at Hong Lian and Qi You who were smiling past them, and watched their eldest nephew leading the old donkey into the village entrance.
"What's wrong with Liangsheng? He seems weird." "I don't know, did he get wronged outside?"
"Who dares?! I'll tear him apart with my bare hands!"
"Let's go, hurry back to the village and inform everyone."
After talking for a while, Lu Pan and his eight companions hurriedly got clothes from the nearby pond and put them on. They chased after their nephew and ran back to the village to greet everyone.
…
The setting sun shines on the small courtyard. The sunflowers in the fenced yard turn towards the sun. Lu Laoshi, who is pulling a green donkey, watches the golden light reaching the sky fly into the clouds. He returns to the yard in silence and looks at his old wife who is hanging clothes in front of the rope. He goes over and holds her in his arms. The gentle man tries to hold back his sobs, but his voice is still a little choked.
"Liangsheng has become a god... I should be happy, I should be happy."
The middle-aged Taoist priest sitting under the old tree in the yard closed the book, looked at his wife crying in the attic, sighed, grabbed the book and put it on his back and walked towards the gate.
Looking at the morning glories on the fence swaying in the wind, he raised his face with melancholy and sighed again.
"Don't worry, I will take care of the house..."
As he uttered the word "home", he could hear the faint sound of a familiar bell. The Taoist lowered his head and his mouth gradually opened slightly. When he saw a familiar figure at the end of the road, the words in his mouth suddenly turned into a sound.
"Your mother's—"
He quickly turned his head to look at the golden light rising in the sky, then turned back and saw the smile on the face of the figure in front of him. The surprise on his face turned into joy, and he shouted, "Master Lu!!"
This caused the crying couple in the yard to run out in a panic. When they saw the figure coming, they both froze in place.
"Liang...Liang Sheng?" "You are not..."
Over there, without waiting for the old couple to finish their stuttering words, Hong Lian put her hands to her mouth like trumpets and shouted to the group of people behind her, "Occupy the room!!"
The old donkey neighed, raised its hooves and ran away. Qiyou, Qingfeng Mingyue squeezed past Gongsun Liao in a flash, and did not forget to say hello to the old couple in the bag and Sun Yingxian. They ran quickly to the yard and rushed to grab a room. Toad Taoist dragged a small wardrobe and scolded them to slow down!
The deserted courtyard suddenly became lively.
Outside the yard, Lu Liangsheng looked at his parents in front of the gate and Xiaoxian who was wiping her tears, and walked over to hug them together.
"Dad, Mom, and Xiao Xian, I won't leave. I will stay with you for the rest of my life."
His voice was gentle as he smelled the familiar scent of his parents.
…
On the side, the Taoist priest stood outside and pointed at himself, trying to squeeze in, but was pushed away by the scholar.
"I just parted with you, I don't feel anything, let's wait for next time."
Although they didn't know what was going on, Li Jinhua, Lu Laoshi and Lu Xiaoxian wiped their tears and laughed happily when they saw Lao Sun's embarrassed look.
This is what home looks like.
