Chapter 74 The old man’s heart!

Another few years passed.

Seven years have passed since Zhao Mu and the others left Daoxin Valley.

This year, Yuwen Piaoxu is ninety years old, and her life is finally coming to an end.

Before death.

Yuwen Piaoxu said that he wanted to die at the seaside and take one last look at the vast sea.

So Zhao Mu and Zhou Yue took him to the East China Sea.

Shuiyun City is the sea area where immortal cultivators once appeared.

The three of them sat on the beach and watched the sunset in the distance, reflecting a bright golden light on the sea.

"I really hope there will be reincarnation in the world, so that we may see each other again in the future."

Yuwen Piaoxu's breath was weak and he said slowly.

"Yes, I believe there must be reincarnation in this world, and I will definitely wait for you at the end of time."

Zhao Mu said softly.

"Haha, don't comfort me. Even if there is reincarnation, I'm afraid we won't recognize each other by then."

Yuwen Piaoxu shook his head, feeling extremely reluctant to give up.

Zhou Yue sat aside and remained silent.

Yuwen Piaoxu patted her hand: "Don't be sad, everyone will die eventually, who can escape? Yue'er, stay with Jin Yan after I leave."

"It's such a pity that I didn't cultivate earlier, otherwise I would have been able to break through to the Martial Saint level and stay with you longer."

Her voice grew lower and lower until she fell into silence.

On the horizon, the setting sun finally set completely, and the whole world fell into darkness.

Zhao Mu and Zhou Yue sat next to Yuwen Piaoxu, silently, sitting for a long time without getting up.

Until, a large ship floated from the sea, and a strong smell of blood followed the wind.

"I'll go take a look."

Zhou Yue stood up and walked towards the big ship on the waves.

After about half a stick of incense, Zhou Yue's figure walked back from the sea again, but she was holding a little baby in her arms.

"This is..." Zhao Mu looked at the other party.

"There are two parties on the ship. One party should be the ship owner and his guards, and the other party should be the pirates. However, they are both dead now. They probably died together."

Zhou Yue looked down at the baby in her arms: "This little girl is very lucky. She is the only one who survived on the ship. Do you think she is destined to be with us and happened to meet us here?"

"Maybe, what do you want?" Zhao Mu asked.

"I want to take her as my disciple because I think her fate is very similar to mine."

Zhou Yue said seriously: "I remember back then, my whole family died tragically, but I was saved by your great-uncle, and I was lucky enough to save my life."

"And today, this little girl was saved by me again. I wonder if there is really a cycle of cause and effect?"

"Maybe."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Since you have decided to accept her as your disciple, let's give her a name."

"Zhou Yuniang, how about it? This is the name I gave myself for fun when I was ten years old. Unfortunately, my master didn't agree to change the name at that time, otherwise I wouldn't be called Zhou Yue now."

"Haha, since she is destined to you, it would be nice to use a name you like."

Zhao Mu bent down and picked up Yuwen Piaoxu: "Let's go, it's time for us to return to Daoxin Valley. This time, we may not come out for a long time."

…

After returning to Daoxin Valley, Zhao Mu buried Yuwen Piaoxu and raised Zhou Yuniang with Zhou Yue.

He was very kind to Zhou Yuniang. He not only coaxed the little girl to sleep at night, but also often told her fairy tales when he had nothing to do.

At the beginning, it was all about Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sima Guang smashing vats and the like.

When the little girl grew up, she began to teach literacy, and the stories she told became the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Journey to the West, and The Romance of the Gods.

In addition, there are some stories he wrote himself using Chinese history.

For example, the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, Huo Qubing sealed Lang Juxu, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Xuanwumen Incident, and Wu Zetian's daughter proclaimed herself emperor, etc.

When Zhou Yuniang was eight years old, Zhou Yue officially began to teach her martial arts, while Zhao Mu taught Zhou Yuniang medical skills.

Time flies by, and eighteen years fly by.

Zhou Yue's life finally came to an end.

In the valley.

Zhao Mu buried Zhou Yue next to Yuwen Piaoxu, sat in front of the grave with a jug of wine, and drank quietly for three days and three nights.

Early that morning, a beautiful woman of seventeen or eighteen years old walked up to Zhao Mu.

"Master, Yu Niang is leaving."

This woman is none other than the baby from back then, Zhou Yuniang.

"So soon? If you don't stay in Daoxin Valley for a while, Master is still going to continue teaching you the Unnamed Taoist Sutra?"

Zhao Mu turned around and looked at Zhou Yuniang gently.

"I don't want it. I haven't reached the level of Grandmaster yet. Master, your understanding of the Unnamed Taoist Sutra is too profound. I don't understand it at all."

Zhou Yuniang wrinkled her pretty little nose and snorted: "Besides, the master said before he died that I should not continue to stay in Daoxin Valley, lest I learn from you and learn bad things."

Zhao Mu was drinking, and he spit out the wine when he heard it: "What do you mean? What do you mean by imitating me? What did she tell you?"

"Master said that the master's temperament is too lazy. Not to mention now, let's say that when he was still young, he behaved in a leisurely manner and did not have the vitality of young people at all."

"Master said that young people should behave like young people. If you don't go out to run wild when you are seventeen or eighteen, what is the difference between you and an old man?"

"Ahem!"

Zhao Mu coughed and his chest was tight, and he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Your master will be angry with me even if he leaves."

He shook his head: "Okay, since your master has arranged it, then you can leave the valley. Be careful outside."

"The elixirs and poisons I gave you must be carried with you to prevent accidents. In addition, your true cultivation should be hidden as much as possible."

"Remember, people outside are treacherous. Only by keeping enough cards for yourself can you live long."

"Yes, Yu Niang knows."

"Well... Also, remember to be more wary of those greasy-haired little bastards outside. If other families treat you a little bit better, you will fall. I don't want the cabbage I raised to be easily pushed by pigs."

"Master chef, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Yu Niang's face turned red with shame.

This master chef is good in every way, but sometimes he doesn't speak seriously.

What is cabbage, and what about being pushed by pigs?

Is there such a metaphor for girls?

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Just remember to be careful when you go out. Let's go."

"Yes, then Yu Niang will leave."

Zhou Yu Niang bowed respectfully and turned to walk out of the valley.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back: "Master, in fact, you don't have to worry about Yu Niang being deceived, because Yu Niang has great ambitions in her heart, and she is not very interested in those things between men and women."

"Oh?" Zhao Mu became interested: "Then what are your great ambitions?"

"Remember the stories you told me when Yu Niang was a child?"

"I told you a lot of stories, which one are you talking about?"

"Wu Zetian, a woman, became emperor!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Mu blinked, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Hehe, Yu Niang means that I want to be the first female emperor in the history of the Jin Dynasty. Master, you just wait for my good news!"

After Zhou Yu Niang finished speaking, she directly jumped up with Qinggong, and left Daoxin Valley in a few jumps.

Zhao Mu was dumbfounded.

I told so many stories, why did this girl only remember Wu Zetian?

Isn't it good for a little girl to dress up beautifully every day?

Why do you have to play so excitingly?

Oh, my old man's heart!
