Chapter 496 Returning Home

"You...who are you? How come you know my master's Chaoyang Sword Technique!" Lou Jintang carried the small sword on his back, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and calmly wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth.

Lou Jintang sniffed lightly and found a strong smell of alcohol on the other party's body.

But before he could say anything more, he was squeezed away by the villagers.

"You...you..."

"Are you back?" The village chief threw down his crutches and walked tremblingly to her side, looking at Lu Chaochao expectantly.

Lu Chaochao said nothing and looked up at the majestic hall.

Although this is my first time here, I still feel familiar.

She held on to the broken door and stood by it, feeling slightly dizzy.

She staggered.

A picture couldn't help but appear in my mind, an extremely long-lasting picture.

After she made the sacrifice, her soul was broken, but she still had feelings. She can perceive all things in the three realms, whether it is wind, rain, flowers or grass, everything is her.

But she always felt helpless and lonely.

At that time, she heard whispers in her ears.

'Sword Master Chaoyang, the soul has returned. Sword Master Chaoyang, the soul has returned...'

‘Sword Master, go home soon. Sword Master, it's getting dark, go home quickly. Don’t be naughty outside…’

She didn't recognize these people, but they called her home.

They all wore white mourning clothes, knelt on the ground, burned paper, and offered roast chicken snacks.

All of them were Lu Chaochao's favorite foods.

"I've been here before." Lu Chaochao pointed at the Chao Temple with eyes burning.

"It's impossible. Except for Mrs. Xu, no outsider has come to our village for a hundred years." A young man shook his head.

Lu Chaochao muttered on his cheeks: "I've been here!"

"There used to be two stone lions at the door, why are they missing?" she murmured in a low voice.

"Stone lion? How come I didn't know that there has never been a stone lion in Chao Temple!" The young man was speechless. His savior seemed abnormal. ?

The village chief trembled all over and his mouth trembled: "Yes! Yes! There are stone lions!"

"When Chao Temple was first built, there were two stone lions guarding the entrance."

The village chief's cloudy eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Lu Chaochao with cautious and expectant eyes. It was as if he was looking at his juniors with heartache.

"Later I heard that the Sword Master had been injured by a lion demon, so he removed it."

Lu Chaochao nodded, no wonder.

"There is also a bell hanging under the eaves. Why doesn't it ring? Is it broken?" She pointed to the eaves. It was empty and had nothing.

She still remembered that when she first came to this hall, the bells all over the hall were ringing without any movement in the wind.

The people in the audience were startled, and then suddenly burst into tears.

The village chief couldn't bear to blink, looking at Lu Chaochao as if he were looking at a porcelain doll, coming back.

It's her who's back.

"How did you know that there were bells hanging in the palace? It is said that after the Sword Master sacrificed herself, a bell was specially made for this purpose in order to sense her remnant soul. If she returns home, the bell will ring."

"On the seventh day after the sacrifice, her soul came back. The bells all over the hall were ringing automatically without any wind."

"But it hasn't sounded again in thousands of years."

"Later, the village chief was afraid that the bells would get worn out if they were hung outside in the wind and sun, so he ordered us to put them away."

Lu Chaochao nodded and walked into the hall.

Xu Shiyun held her stomach and stepped forward hurriedly.

"Chaochao..." Xu Shiyun's voice was urgent. She stepped forward and held Chaochao's hand tightly, not daring to let go. I am deeply afraid that if I let go, my daughter will be gone again.

Lou Jintang's eyes widened suddenly.

He stretched out his little hand to indicate his height.

"Is the spirit world so nurturing? It didn't take long for me to grow from short to tall!!" Why didn't I grow? !

Lou Jintang looked collapsed.

Rong Che had already recognized Xiao Chaochao and said with a smile: "There are countless ways to change the appearance of the spirit world. Chaochao must have used the spirit world magic."

Lu Chaochao smiled with his eyebrows arched and his head straightened.

The village chief was startled: "Madam, this...is this your four-year-old daughter?"

No wonder, there is always a sense of disharmony when speaking.

Look, a little childish.

Xu Shiyun nodded: "Yes. Even though she is tall, she is only four years old."

"Madam, you are very lucky." The village chief said with emotion.

When Xu Shiyun entered the spiritual world for the first time, she accidentally walked to the village. The village chief was kind enough to take her in, but he didn't realize that this was their chance.

Lu Chaochao looked straight at the statue in the temple.

It is obviously a stone statue, but everyone can feel the divine meaning contained in it.

Lu Chaochao walked to the offering table. There were many melons and fruits snacks on the table.

She reached for one and took a bite. It was so sweet.

"Eat more if you like it. Try it quickly..." The village chief handed it to her tremblingly, with soft and kind eyes.

On the stone statue, a red mark appeared at some point.

It was exactly the same as the mark on Lu Chaochao's forehead.

"Okay, okay, just come back. Just come back. Our family is finally waiting for you to come home."

The village chief took a deep breath.

"The fourteenth generation village chief of Shicun, together with the entire village of 328 people, welcomes the sword master back to his throne."

The whole village looked at each other in shock.

With a smile on his lips, the village chief gently took Chao Chao's hand and put a small bloody handprint on the stone statue.

In an instant.

The dusty stone statue suddenly became radiant.

The entire hall became gleaming with golden light, and even the sound of Sanskrit sounds appeared between heaven and earth.

Plop...

Plop...

All the villagers knelt at her feet one by one and worshiped devoutly: "Go home. In my lifetime, Shicun has really waited for you to come home."

"Our family is your temple guardian, and we will guard the temple for you from generation to generation."

"Finally, wait until you get home."

Ishimura passed it down from generation to generation just to protect her family.

Lu Chaochao's eyes were slightly hot: "Thank you for your hard work. I know everything you have done for Chaochao."

Lou Jintang wowed.

Her little master has a really big background.

"Don't worry, now that I have returned to my position, I will protect all living beings again."

"I will separate a ray of my soul to listen to the prayers of believers and protect my neighbors."

The village chief was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Although there were many monks in the spiritual world, there were also local mortals. They have often suffered from evil attacks, but now that they have a temple, they are no longer afraid.

"Thank you Lord Sword for your mercy."

"It's just that I'm still young now, so I hope my uncles won't reveal Chao Chao's identity."

The entire Stone Village has been born for her for generations, so it is natural that she is the most important thing.

If you look strange to the temple today, it will definitely attract the attention of the spirit world.

"Mom, I have some big things to do in Chaochao. You will live in the village for the time being."

When the barrier is opened, it is the day when turbid energy pours into the human world. The mother raised her child in Shicun and was also under her protection.

The little girl stepped forward and took her mother's little hand, her expression full of admiration.

She carefully looked at her mother's face and realized that within a month, her mother had become as skinny as a stick.

Lu Chaochao suppressed his anger, but it didn't show on his face.

I followed my mother to the place where the village settled.

The villagers all presented their own good wine and food to entertain their little sword master.

After his mother fell asleep, Lu Chaochao's face fell.

"Dad, what happened to mother? I see my mother is very worried, why have she lost so much weight?" She lowered her voice and looked at her mother on the bed, her teeth grinding with anger.

Xu Shiyun was originally a little plump, but now she is as skinny as a stick, and her abdomen looks huge. (End of chapter)
