Chapter 105: Ten years away from home, ten years back,

_________________

Bashu·Leshan.

The small county road is full of cars and the neat streets are crowded with people.

The pace of Bashu people is always slow.

It is cold in winter.

People wear thick coats, holding all kinds of delicacies in their hands, eating and talking and laughing, feeling very comfortable.

The hot pot restaurant on the street is filled with a special aroma.

Chu Xiu did not hide his figure, walking like a mortal.

He learned from a passerby's mobile phone that the current year was in August.

2023·August.

"From the time I left until I returned, a total of ten years have passed."

Chu Xiu frowned, feeling complicated.

There is relief and worry.

For a monk, ten years is not enough to close a gate. However, for ordinary people living on the blue planet, ten years is already a fraction of their life.

"Is grandpa okay?"

Chu Xiu was a little afraid to continue thinking, and a little afraid to go home.

The so-called hometown is timid, that's it.

"Wow, he's so handsome."

"His robe looks so high-end, and his wig is also nice, so smooth that it looks real."

"Who is he cosplaying, is it Wei Wuxian?"

"No, no, no, he is obviously much more handsome than Wei Wuxian."

"He is definitely the best-looking person I have ever seen in my life."

"Too stunning!!"

The four Sichuan girls gathered together, their faces flushed, their eyes unblinking, staring at Chu Xiu fiercely, and making all kinds of exclamations.

Chu Xiu's appearance is outstanding, and with his cultivation to the quasi-emperor realm, every inch of his body has reached perfection, which is too lethal to them.

"Brother, can you take a photo with us?"

The little girl with baby fat, blushing, came to Chu Xiu timidly, her eyes dodging, not daring to look him in the eye.

Chu Xiu glanced at her mobile phone and nodded slightly.

Seeing that he agreed,

the little girl was so surprised that she jumped up and down, and quickly pulled her girlfriends to take pictures.

After taking the pictures,

Several people gathered together to appreciate the photos.

When they looked up again, the figure was gone.

"Where is that little brother just now?"

"Maybe he went into that store!"

"Hehe, I'm so lucky today. I can take a photo with such a good-looking little brother. It's enough for me to brag about it for the rest of my life."

______________

Walking on the country road.

The breeze blew the gray hair hanging down to the waist.

Chu Xiu closed his eyes and felt the breeze of his hometown.

"I never thought that there is heaven and earth vitality in Blue Star."

"However, compared with the Sky Continent, the heaven and earth vitality here is much thinner."

"Well, since there is heaven and earth vitality, there should be cultivators."

"Should I use my divine sense to explore it?"

Chu Xiu thought for a while and gave up the idea.

Not far ahead is the village where he lived since childhood.

Chu Xiu looked into the distance. The village is not big, with only about forty households.

Ten years have passed.

The original brick and tile houses have also become bungalows and small buildings...

The roads have also become cement roads.

The village has developed well, but it is no longer as lively as it used to be.

The young people have gone out to study, work, or do business.

Nowadays, most of the people living in the village are elderly people.

Standing under the yellow fruit tree at the entrance of the village.

A trace of reminiscence flashed across Chu Xiu's eyes.

"When I left, you were still a sapling."

"Now, you have grown so big."

Woof~

An old yellow dog came from nowhere, standing dozens of meters away, barking at Chu Xiu with bared teeth.

"Who is it?"

The door of the nearest bungalow was pushed open.

An old woman, about 80 years old, with sparse and pale hair, walked out tremblingly with a cane.

She squinted her cloudy old eyes and looked at the young man under the ancient yellow tree.

Or maybe she didn't see clearly.

She trembled a little closer.

Confusion appeared on her wrinkled face.

She asked uncertainly, "Child...you...you...are you from Mr. Chu's family?"

"It's me, Grandma Huang~" Chu Xiu smiled. With his memory, he recognized the person at a glance.

"It's you, kid." The old woman smiled in surprise, revealing two rows of toothless gums. She stepped forward and grabbed Chu Xiu's sleeve, complaining, "Where have you been all these years, kid? Do you know how worried your grandpa is about you? In order to find you, he almost ran all over our country."

Chu Xiu's pupils trembled slightly.

My grandfather must be the one who is most worried about my sudden disappearance!

When Chu Xiu thought of an old man who searched all over the country to find me, he couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

"Alas, kid, you are still late!" Grandma Huang sighed.

Chu Xiu's heart tightened when he heard it.

As expected.

I heard Grandma Huang continue to say, "If you came back two years earlier, maybe you could see your grandpa."

"My grandpa died?" Chu Xiu's voice trembled.

His parents died early.

It was his grandfather who raised him since he was a child.

His grandfather was his last relative on Blue Star.

He never thought that after finally returning to his hometown, he would get the result he least wanted.

"Two years ago, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Mr. Chu got a serious illness and returned to the village, but he died soon after. You didn't come back, and our village helped with the funeral." Grandma Huang looked regretful, "Mr. Chu was a good man, but it's a pity that he passed away like this."

"My child, it's good to be back. Don't be too sad. People will get old one day."

"My child, you must be hungry! Let's go to grandma's house. The meal will be ready soon."

Grandma Huang's skinny hands covered with age spots tightly held Chu Xiu's wrists and comforted him in a gentle voice.

Chu Xiu declined Grandma Huang's kindness.

Standing outside the familiar fence.

Pushing the door to enter.

The small courtyard has been overgrown with weeds because no one has taken care of it for a long time, and the house also shows signs of collapse.

The place where I have lived for many years has become so desolate and dilapidated.

Chu Xiu's eyelids drooped.

Take a step forward and teleport to the hill behind the house.

There is an inconspicuous mound on the hill.

Chu Xiu squatted down and ran his fingers over every word on the rough tombstone.

Sadness, guilt, and all kinds of emotions came like a tide.

Silence for an unknown period of time.

When he raised his head again, he was already in tears.

It turns out that he can be sad and cry!

Yes!

No matter how decisive he is in killing and how he defines himself as a bad villain, he is ultimately a person who values family affection, not a cultivation machine without any emotion.

"Can the Great Emperor cross the long river of time? Why do you tell me that even if I break through the Great Emperor realm, I can't save my grandfather."

[The rules of Blue Star, or this universe, are completely different from the rules of the universe in the Sky Continent]

[There was a supreme being in this universe who created reincarnation with great power. Your grandfather has already reincarnated]

[You can't fish out a person who has already reincarnated from the long river of time]

[Host, please accept my condolences! ]

Chu Xiu stood up silently, the tears on his cheeks evaporated instantly, and there was a strong wind in his eyes. He said firmly: "If the Great Emperor can't do it, then become an immortal. If you can't become an immortal, then break through the immortal."

"I dare to be the enemy of the Heavenly Dao."

"Who in the world can snatch people from me, Chu Xiu."

After that.

Chu Xiu knelt at his grandfather's grave again, took out a pot of Mo Xiangyi, opened the lid, sprinkled some on the grave, and drank a sip himself.

"Grandpa, your grandson is back."

"I was thinking about eating the twice-cooked pork you made."

"Don't worry, wait, sooner or later we will have a day to drink together."

Chu Xiu talked to himself, drinking and pouring wine in front of the grave.

The aroma of wine spread.

Infected by the vitality in the wine.

The hill that was originally withered and yellow grass and trees.

I don't know when it has become green and shaded by trees and flowers.
