Chapter 178 Things are different and people are different

"Husband, how long will it take..."

Xiao Qiao leaned against Zhao Yu and asked him Jiaohan.

Zhao Yu stroked her long, silky hair and said with a smile, "Half a year."

"It will take another half a year?" Xiao Qiao was unhappy.

Although the journey home is more than ten times faster than when we came here, I am ready to return home. I don't want to wait for even half a day, not even half a year.

Da Qiao squeezed his sister's arm: "Can you please be quiet? I've asked you more than a hundred times. If you're not annoyed, I'm still annoyed."

She also wants to go back soon. After so many years, the starry sky is lonely, who doesn't want to go home?

Only Xiao Qiao still retains a trace of the innocence of a girl, and is far less calm than Da Qiao and the others.

Xiao Qiao snorted softly, with a rather expectant look on his face: "I wonder how the other hospital is doing now. Is my little sister okay? Cao Mengde must be dead, he is already so old..."

As she rambled on, Zhaoji and the others were also in a trance.

Driving a magic weapon and driving on the road is countless times faster than driving a magic weapon. When it came, it took more than two years just to get from the earth to the edge of the main body of the solar system. Including the time it took to pass through the nebula layer outside the solar system, it took a full thirty years, and it took more than three years to finally find the stars.

But this time, it has only been more than a year since I left that galaxy, and I am about to pass through the nebula layer outside the solar system and reach the main space of the solar system.

At the current speed, it would take at most half a year to return to Earth.

After hearing Xiao Qiao's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

Yes, what happened to Cao Mengde? How many of those familiar people are still alive?

In the quiet room, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

This is people, this is time.

He looked at the five wives and concubines with a smile on his lips. Since he entered the Dharma Image Realm in cultivation, his magic power and conduct have made great progress. Especially in time, my attainments are gradually deepening. Zhao Ji and the others did not realize that in the past twenty-seven years, Zhao Yu had maintained an influence on time even when he was refining the star furnace.

It seems that twenty-seven years have passed, but Zhao Ji and the others have only lost nine years at most.

However, loss is inevitable no matter what. The aging of the soul is the biggest problem.

No matter how it affects time, it is inevitable.

But it's better than being helpless - in this way, Zhao Ji and the others' remaining time is equivalent to tripling.

But this is also a huge burden for Zhao Yu. To affect the loss of time around you all the time, for Dharma Xiang, it is like carrying a mountain on your back.

As a husband, Zhao Yu believes that he should bear the burden.

In such a dull life, the solar system has arrived.

Zhao Yu used his magic power to protect his five wives and concubines. The six of them stood on the lid of the star furnace. Looking around, they could only see a fist-sized fireball in the distance, which was the sun.

Behind the scenes, the misty and chaotic nebula gradually faded away, and the sun grew larger and larger.

"I'm going home..."

The five daughters of Zhaoji looked at the sun and were in a daze.

...

It has been sixty-one years since the true immortal ascended to heaven.

Today is the year 2994 of the Yellow Emperor's reign in the Chinese Empire, eighty-nine years since Cao Mengde founded the country.

Sixty-one years ago, the true immortal Zhao Yu ascended to the sky and disappeared into the starry sky. The founder of the country, Emperor Wu Cao Mengde, was passed down to his eldest son Cao Ang and lived in seclusion in the Immortal Villa. Another fifty years later, in the year 2983 of the Yellow Emperor's reign, Gaozong Cao Ang abdicated and passed to his son Cao Yu. It has been eleven years now.

In the year 2993 of the Yellow Emperor's reign, one year ago, Cao Mengde passed away in Taihe Villa at the age of 141.

In the year 2994 of the Yellow Emperor's reign, in June of summer, it was the time when fire was flowing. A stream of light fell from the sky without any cover and fell into the Taihe Courtyard more than ten miles outside Puyang.

At that time, the imperial supervisor of the inner government Yaqin noticed the strange phenomenon and did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately reported it to the emperor Cao Yu. Cao Yu heard that Liu Guang had landed more than ten miles east of Puyang, and knew that it was in the Taihe Courtyard, so he quickly sent a message to Pei Guo.

In the Taihe Villa, a large cauldron with brilliant treasures descended from the wooden courtyard, and six people walked out of the cauldron.

It was Zhao Yu and his wife.

Xiao Qiao cheered and pulled Sun Rensaya to run into the house. Zhao Ji and others looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar yard, all in a daze.

Zhao Yu sighed slightly, feeling a sense of joy in his heart.

"Sister! Brother-in-law!"

A figure rushed towards Zhao Yu as fast as lightning and stopped suddenly in front of Zhao Yu.

With a graceful and luxurious appearance, who could it be if she wasn't Cai Xiaomei?

Zhaoji's eyes suddenly turned red, and she hugged Cai Xiaomei. Both sisters burst into tears.

Then Guan Hai came, and so did Gao Shun. Their generation was already dying. Then Xiaochun and four other maids also came. There were nearly three hundred people, large and small, and the wooden courtyard was completely surrounded. The eyes of those old people were red and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. The younger generations have different personalities.

But everyone knows that the owner of the other courtyard, the real immortal family, has returned after more than sixty years.

Zhao Yu looked at these familiar faces with emotion in his expression. He opened his palm to put away the Star Furnace before talking to them one by one.

From Guan Hai and Gao Shun's mouths, Zhao Yu learned about the changes in other courtyards over the years.

Cao Mengde died indeed, just a year ago. This made Zhao Yu a little sad. It would be good if he could live for one more year and see him again.

Uncle Cai also passed away three years after Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji left. Wang Po and other elderly people also passed away one by one within a few years. Counting now, even Guan Hai, Gao Shun and others are already 130 or 40 years old. Time is really an invisible knife.

And Zhang Ling, the original saint of Taiping Taoism, left the other courtyard more than 20 years ago and established her own dojo in Zhongnan Mountain, named Zhongnan Taoist Temple, and formed her own school.

Zhao Yu also sighed, it was indeed Zhongnan Taoist Academy...

Speaking of the Cao family, Cao Mengde lived in seclusion in the other courtyard after abdicating the throne. He has also grown old and strong. He has given birth to several children at the age of 100. Several of them left the other courtyard when they became adults. Some of them have no intention of being powerful and are now taking root in the other courtyard.

Zhao Yu also saw them one by one.

After sending away many people, Zhao Yu, Guan Hai and Gao Shun strolled through the courtyard.

Ask them: "Where's Ang'er?"

Guan Hai and Gao Shun looked at each other hesitantly.

"What?" Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I haven't heard you talk about him before. Could something have happened?"

Guan Hai lowered his head, and then said: "This matter... Master, since the master left, the other courtyard and the empire have been in peace for a period of time. However... Cao Ang later wanted to be in the other courtyard, and sometimes deployed some people, we I just turned a blind eye. But last year, Duke Cao passed away. The current emperor, Cao Ang's eldest son, Cao Yu, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the other courtyard and bring it under the rule of the empire. There was a big fuss, and Cao Ang was embarrassed to live in the other courtyard. , went back to his ancestral home in Qiao County..."

Zhao Yu was silent after listening.

He sighed for a long time: "That's all... no wonder you don't want to talk about it."

He stopped mentioning the matter and said instead: "Mengde has achieved great success in his practice. The mother tree of the longevity fruit is also in the other courtyard, and the recipe for the life-extending pill is also kept. I also taught my younger sister how to refine it. I'm leaving. At that time, Mengde was already opening acupuncture points and taking life-extending pills. How could he die at the age of 141?"

Gao Shun said: "Master Cao is kind. One is that Duke Cao is old and his energy and blood are gradually withering. It is difficult to make progress in cultivation these years. Secondly... secondly, Duke Cao seems to have no intention of practicing, so he only has a lifespan of one hundred years." forty one."

Zhao Yu listened and nodded.
