A mortal woman dared to speak like this in front of the young master of the Demon Palace.
It's not because the other person loves you, but because you are independent and don't want to be the other person's vassal in this life, and become a vase in the other person's house.
"She is very selfish, but she considers it for her father and me. After the persuasion of her adoptive mother, she chose to give in and take the beauty elixir. In her words, 'Husband and wife are one, and they should understand and support each other. Since My husband is willing to tolerate my willfulness of leaving early. So what’s the harm in dressing you up for the rest of my life?'"
Fu Xuanxing was startled and remained silent.
He originally heard Fang Dongyuan's story and thought that his aunt didn't like his uncle much. But now, it seems...it seems like there is true love between them?
However, my aunt's outlook on life and love seems to be different from ordinary people.
Don't pursue eternity, just love each other at this moment.
"My mother doesn't believe in eternal love. She often says, 'One day as a couple, a hundred lifetimes of marriage.' As a person, you should be down-to-earth, cherish every day and every moment in front of you, and don't rely on immortality and waste your days."
"..."
The impact of these words is so wide.
Fu Xuanxing thought silently. Looking at the world of Eastern cultivation, there are very few cultivators who take it seriously every day. When meditating and practicing Qigong, you can just close or open your eyes and the day will pass.
Like Sixth Brother, who soaks himself in the library and absorbs book knowledge eagerly, these are exceptions among exceptions.
"My mother, like my father, broke her rule of not taking magic pills. She didn't stop taking the medicine until a few months before her death."
Fang Dongyuan got along with his mother when he was a child.
Although his mother always said that she was a mortal, he didn't believe it at all.
Can a mortal maintain his appearance for decades and remain the same as his father and himself?
Until the last few months, watching my mother age rapidly from the age of 20 years...
On the last day, she lay on the couch like an eighty or ninety-year-old lady.
That appearance became Fang Dongyuan's childhood nightmare.
He didn't want to recall his mother's gray hair and wrinkled face. The mother in his heart was still the beautiful woman in her prime, pulling him to walk in the world.
"Before she died, my mother held my hand and gave me instructions."
Thinking of those withered palms, he silently clenched his fists.
There is great terror before life and death. Seeing her mother's appearance with her own eyes, even though her mother was relieved and happy, she told herself not to care. But can you really not care?
Fang Dongyuan is willing to practice and is eager to enter the gate of the great road in this life.
Because he didn't want to be like his mother, withered and weak, and finally lying on the bed and dying silently.
My mother can happily welcome her soul back to the stars, but I can't!
"In my mother's eyes, life and death are the end. She doesn't want everything in this life to be entangled in the next life.
"Before she died, she specifically told her father. If you meet her afterlife, don't force it, just let it happen.
"When I was a child, I didn't understand my mother's choice. My adoptive mother asked me to understand.
"All living beings are the projection of the stars in the human world. For the stars, every life experience is just a short journey and a fleeting dream.
"Perhaps immortality is the most essential and instinctive desire of living beings. But how many people can achieve enlightenment in one lifetime?
"After reincarnation after reincarnation, the stars are constantly accumulating and practicing through calamities. The accumulation of hundreds of lives and thousands of lives will eventually allow the stars to enter the gate of the great road.
"But in the continuous practice of tribulations, star spirits will also become tired, and they will take one or several lifetimes to rest.
“My adoptive mother said that my mother chose a mortal life because her true star spirit wanted to rest.
"My foster mother also told me that breathing and practicing Qigong is not the only way to live. Cherish and take every day seriously, even if it only lasts a hundred years, its meaning is better than a thousand years of asceticism."
Fang Dongyuan recalled what his adoptive mother said to him back then.
He still doesn't fully believe what the stars said, and only regards it as a fairy tale that Mrs. He weaves for herself.
but……
His mother was indeed as open-minded as Mrs. He said.
It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other.
Once love is over and life is over, then let go of each other and welcome the next journey.
"My father said that to each other, he and his mother were just companions on a journey. As the roads bifurcated, they drifted apart."
Fang Dongyuan's parents are not the kind of people who can't afford to take things up or let them go.
Fu Xuanxing blinked: "That aunt treats you..."
Growing up in the Xuanwei Sect, he rarely saw monks with a "mother" role. In the Fu family——
There are more than ten people of the same generation including Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Henghua, and Fu Tongjun, but only two of their mothers are still alive.
One is Zhang Qiulan and the other is Cui Hongxiu.
Cultivation is always accompanied by separation.
The death of relatives and friends is an unavoidable practice.
"My mother is still very good to me. My birth must be unplanned for her, right?"
His mother planned her life and stayed with Young Master Jiang for decades, hoping that Young Master Jiang could forget herself and start a new life. From the beginning, she never thought about having children.
A man destined to experience the separation from his mother and the remarriage of his father.
For children, it is too painful.
Young Master Jiang had no intention of having children, he only planned to stay with his wife for the rest of his life. I even discussed contraceptive measures with Pavilion Master Hongwen and Mrs. He.
However, everyone was caught off guard, or rather it was the mission of the Queen Xuan family that prompted the birth of Fang Dongyuan.
Young Master Jiang possesses one of the twelve divine bloodlines left over from the Longju Civilization and is a descendant of Dong Shenjun. As long as he is in the territory of Donglai Shenzhou, it is impossible to exterminate the heir.
This is "God's will", and it is also the protection reserved by the masters of the Longju Civilization in the past for their descendants.
"My adoptive mother joked with my mother that she had never seen her mother panic. But during the period when I was pregnant, my mother could no longer maintain her cold and wise appearance, and she frequently sought advice on how to protect and prevent the fetus.
"Although it was an accident, my mother was looking forward to my birth. Xuan Xing, I believe your mother also had this idea, which is why she gave birth to you on her own under difficult circumstances."
Fang Dongyuan knew Fu Xuanxing's uneasiness.
Since he was a child, he has never seen a few normal "mothers" let alone feeling maternal love.
Mother is what is missing in Fu Xuanxing's life and is also a permanent regret.
After giving his godbrother a good comfort, Fu Xuanxing closed his eyes and concentrated, using the "Tai Chi sleeping skill" to regain his energy, Fang Dongyuan silently jumped off the table.
After chatting about "mother" for a long time, he felt a little melancholy and couldn't sit still at ease, so he simply opened the door and went out of the house and took a walk in the yard.
By chance, he saw the bright light in another wing.
Going over, I saw Fu Yaozhen sitting in front of the spinning wheel weaving.
He stood by the window and said happily: "I say, you are really leisurely. Is it for Xuan Xing or for the unknown little brother?"
"If you are so bored, you can go mining in Dragon King Hill now."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
He lay by the window and looked at the girl in the room.
Her long hair hangs down to her waist, and she wears a green robe with a plain belt. Fu Yaozhen, who focuses on weaving, actually somewhat overlaps with the mother in his memory.
He vaguely remembered that his mother didn't like to use the looms that his father and stepmother had blessed with magic. Whenever I sew clothes for myself, I spin the fabrics and cut the clothes myself.
"I see that you... seem to like this dull life?"
Fu Yaozhen's hand holding the weaving shuttle paused slightly and looked toward the window.
Fang Dongyuan said with a smile: "My mother once told me that the life of a mortal couple is that men farm and women weave. This is something she once fantasized about but could not realize in her lifetime."
No matter what, Young Master Jiang cannot plow the fields like a mortal every day. Planting flowers and vegetables in the garden for his wife is already his limit.
"The husband plows the fields outside, and the wife weaves at home. When it's time for dinner, the rice and vegetables are cooked and sent to the fields. After the husband and wife talk, they eat together. Then the wife quickly packs up the bowls and takes them home. She waits until the husband comes home. , and then... is this what you and Xuan Xing have been doing these past two days, right? I heard from the unknown little brother that you deliver food every day at noon? "
"If you are mentally ill, go back and ask Xiao Liu'er to take a look at you."
Husband and godson? Living a dull life?
It is absolutely impossible for me to have such a life.
"But I remember, you're not——"
Fu Yaozhen said decisively: "I have made a vow a long time ago that I will not marry in this life. I will always be accompanied by the green lantern, playing the piano and practicing pure practice. This is my life."
According to the future he foresees, this is the only hope that can avoid death.
Even if I am not willing to live this kind of life. In order to escape death, this is the only choice.
Not getting married?
But that’s not what you said when you were a kid.
Fang Dongyuan's heart tickled.
Just because the boy touched the wedding dress sewn by the girl. The girl cried and asked the other party to compensate, and even carried a sword that was taller than her own to kill the person.
When he saw the other party running away, he ran directly to his family to complain.
He also fell down on the road, but his brother saw him and mistakenly thought that the boy had pushed him, so he beat the boy up.
Such an experience will never be forgotten in my lifetime.
Bang——
Suddenly a strong wind blew in the room and the windows were forced shut.
Seeing that he was in trouble, he touched the red bridge of his nose and slowly left Fu Yaozhen's side.
Don't talk about it, I just talked to someone to make others feel bad, and I felt much better.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, Fang Dongyuan heard a cough on the roof.
Looking up, the boy was sitting on the roof, holding his chest and coughing.
"Little brother, what are you doing? It's late at night, it's so cold, why don't you go to bed?"
"You haven't slept either."
The young man saw Fang Dongyuan jump from the ground to the roof.
He shook the bamboo pole in his hand.
"I couldn't sleep at night, so I simply got up to check the fishing rod and prepare for tomorrow's fishing. By the way, I just heard you talking..."
Fang Dongyuan was startled, then remembered.
This house is leaky and has no sound insulation at all. When I talked to them, I didn't try to avoid talking. Wasn't this guy overhearing me?
He sat down next to the boy.
There is a faint smell of rich and pungent spices in the air.
"Listen to us, what do you think?"
The young man looked confused: "Everyone has his own thoughts and choices. Is it useless to tell others my thoughts?"
"Then what do you think, is it better to become an immortal or to be a mortal?"
The young man shook his head again.
Fang Dongyuan sighed in his heart: That's right. This kid grew up in Huangban Village and has never even seen the outside world, let alone any theory of immortality. He has never even tasted the good taste of mortals.
"Think about it, if a beautiful fairy like Sister Fu asks you to be your wife in the future..."
The boy's hand holding the fishing rod shook slightly.
"She asks you to practice immortality with her, will you be willing?"
The young man tilted his head and thought for a long time. Just when Fang Dongyuan thought that the other party would not answer anymore, the young man said warmly: "No. I have my own life. I should stick to my own ideas just like my aunt's choice, right?"
"If there is a beautiful mortal girl who wants to marry Brother Fang. The premise is that Brother Fang will give up all his skills for her and only live with her for a few decades. Are you willing?"
"Can these be compared? One has a long life and the other has a short life. One has advantages and the other has disadvantages."
"In Brother Fang's eyes, longevity is a good thing and short life is a bad thing? But, Auntie doesn't think so.
"A hundred years in this world lasts only a short time. But as long as you live happily and feel satisfied, it is meaningful. It is better than a thousand years of asceticism, and in the end, like flowers in the mirror, disappearing into nothing - this is what the village chief grandpa said. "
"What he said makes sense."
The head of Huangban Village?
Fang Dongyuan looked at the village chief's house from a distance.
The leader of the Five Poisons was a guest at his home. Fang Dongyuan did not dare to pry and withdrew his consciousness.
Perhaps, this village chief is also a cultivator?
…
The leader of the Five Poisons and a little old man sat across from each other, drinking tea slowly.
"Master, there is no need for a big figure in cultivation like you to test Lao Chan. Lao Chan is just a mortal, but there are a few monks from Huangban Village in our ancestors who have some insights into the way of cultivation."
"Some insights? I still can't understand your depth. And your conversation doesn't sound like an ordinary village chief."
"I have never left Huangban Village very often in my life. The reason why I know some things is because a traveler who came to Huangban Village took the time to teach me."
Seeing the old man's appearance, the leader of the Five Poison Cult lowered his head to look at the poisonous insects hidden around the two of them.
Jade Scorpion Gu, Thunder Bee Gu, Heavenly Snake Gu...
Dozens of Gu insects surrounded the village chief, but not a single Gu insect dared to approach.
What lies does this old man lie?
Is he an ordinary person?
Even a foundation-building monk would not dare to make my Gu worms afraid like this.
He has a golden elixir, which is equal to or even higher than mine!
This is the reason why the leader of the Five Poisons has always been honest and stayed out of trouble in Huangban Village. He had hoped that Qiu Yu and Ao Dezheng's people would find bad luck with the old village chief and test it out.
However, no one from the two parties took action against the Huangban villagers. Everyone was harmonious and harmonious, showing the moral style of the Xian family. The leader of the Five Poisons was very puzzled: When did a monk show such courtesy to a mortal?
Mortals are like ants, who can be crushed to death casually. Even the monks from the three major waters wouldn't have such a kind attitude, would they?
Perhaps those two people had long been aware of the village chief's origins, so they didn't dare to act rashly?
…
Fang Dongyuan sat on the roof chatting with the boy.
After a while, he suddenly said:
"Huangban Village is too small, and the outside world is very big. Do you want to go outside with us?"
"Outside?"
The boy scratched his head.
"This... I have to ask the village chief. After all, I have never left this village in my life. Does the village chief allow me to leave?"

Hearing the young man's words, Fang Dongyuan vaguely felt something strange, but before he had time to think about it, the young man had already slipped down from the thatched roof.
"It's already so late. Brother Fang, please have a good rest. Tomorrow, didn't I ask you to follow me to dig for jade?"
This is Fu Yaozhen's explanation.
Due to various factors, she and Fang Dongyuan have always been at odds.
Naturally, she couldn't stand him hanging around in front of her. So Fu Xuanxing asked Fang Dongyuan to help him dig jade. Before Fang Dongyuan could say anything, Fu Yaozhen directly used his words to persuade him.
"Since you are his adopted brother, you won't refuse his adopted brother's plea, right?"
Without giving Fang Dongyuan any excuse to refuse, Fu Xuanxing and the others finalized the matter.
But Fang Dongyuan really wanted to study the dragon blood tablet left by his adoptive father, so he didn't refuse.
Watching the young man return to the house, Fang Dongyuan pondered for a while and got up to go find the village chief.
It was just a good time to use the boy as an excuse to test the village chief's abilities.
…
The leader of the Five Poisons tried again to no avail. During the stalemate, he heard footsteps outside.
"Junior Fang Dongyuan, please see the head of Huangban Village."
The village chief slowly put down the tea cup and said to the leader of the Five Poisons: "Master, I'm sorry. It seems that I have a new guest."
"It's okay, please come and have tea with us. I don't mind."
