At this moment, he was eager to return home. He had been away from home for three years before he knew it. He thought that he would see his parents soon.
It's inevitable that I'm a little excited. I wonder which child in the world doesn't want to go home, let alone him.
"I don't know what happened to my parents. Over the years, he has sent back all the salary given to him by the Black Qiong Sect. I guess the family situation will be better with that money."
Shen Luo recalled the scene when he left home that day in his mind. He didn't expect that he would be gone for three years.
After these three years, the ignorant child back then has now grown up. Not only that, he has also become an immortal cultivator inexplicably.
Soon after half a day's journey, the sinking carriage finally arrived at the foot of Black Cloud Mountain.
He got off the carriage and looked at the familiar mountains in front of him.
Shen Luo could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart at this moment, and strode along the mountain road towards the village with great expectations. Along the way, the scene layout in the mountain remained the same as before.
The mountain was still the same mountain, but he was no longer the carefree young man who only knew how to laugh and laugh.
After walking for a while, we were still a few miles away from the village.
Shen Luo looked ahead and saw the small village that was once so familiar in the distance.
The peach blossom trees at the entrance of the village, the short mud walls, and the bumpy paths.
These scenes that had appeared in his mind could finally appear in front of him in reality.
The closer he got to the village, the faster his excited heart beat.
He walked into the village and came under the peach tree. He and the old man had talked about immortals under this tree back then. He still vaguely remembers what the other person said.
"Even as the saying goes, immortals may not live forever."
He didn't understand it at the time, but now he understands the meaning of this sentence. If he wants to live forever, he must ascend to the immortal world.
He stopped under the tree for a while and then walked towards home.
Shen Luo came outside his mud house and found that the door was closed and locked.
"I wonder why the door is locked. Are you not at home?"
In order to confirm what he was thinking, he raised his spirits and released his spiritual consciousness, only to find that there was indeed no one at home.
"Did you go to work in the fields?" Shen Luo looked at the locked house in front of him and said to himself.
Just as he was about to leave and walk toward the fields, he saw a seven or eight-year-old child hiding aside, biting his finger and looking at him curiously.
Shen Luo saw the child looking at him curiously, and he also looked towards the child.
After watching it for a while, I found that the child looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere.
"I remembered. Isn't that the child from Aunt Wang's house next door? I didn't expect that he has grown so big after three years." Shen Luo said with emotion.
I remember that when we were playing in the mud, this kid used to play behind him.
"Goudan, let me ask you where are my parents?" Shen Luo walked up to the child and asked.
The child was stunned when he saw that the other party actually knew how to call him by his first name.
He looked up at the man in front of him with wide eyes, and said in a childish voice full of doubts: "Brother, how do you know my name? Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Goudan, what are you talking about? I'm your brother Luo!" Shen Luo said when the child in front of him said he didn't recognize him, he knocked his little head.
"Oh, it hurts!" Goudan touched the head that was hit just now and made a painful sound.
"Stop making trouble, tell me where my parents are, and why I can't see anyone else in this village. Where have they gone?" Shen Luo said with confusion.
He had waited for this moment for too long, and now he couldn't wait to see his parents.
"Are you really Brother Luo?" Goudan asked, looking Shen Luo up and down.
"You're not talking nonsense. I was the one who changed your pants when you wet your pants." Shen Luo said angrily.
"It's really you, Brother Luo, why are you back!" Goudan heard the other party telling him about his childhood, and stared blankly in disbelief.
He had indeed peed his pants, and it was the same pants that Shen Luo helped him change into.
"Yes, that's right. It's been three years since I came back." Shen Luo's eyebrows were beaming and he nodded in high spirits.
"Great, then we can play together again." After Goudan confirmed that the man in front of him was his brother Luo, he danced happily and shouted loudly.
Just when he was excited about Shen Luo's return, his little head received another beating from Shen Luo.
"Brother Luo, why did you hit me again?" Goudan touched his head again and pouted in dissatisfaction.
"You talk too much, tell me where my parents are." Shen Luo continued to ask.
"Well... they stopped living in the village a long time ago. Don't you know, Brother Luo?"
"What?." Shen Luo was a little confused. At this point, he really didn't know that he was back. There was no mention of moving in the letter from home.
"It was just a few months ago. Didn't they tell you?" Goudan was also a little confused. He didn't know about such a big event as moving!
Goudan looked at Shen Luo, who was in a dazed state in front of him, and then said: "By the way, brother Luo, congratulations first. Now you have an extra brother. Today seems to be his second birthday. People in the village seem to They were all invited by your parents to have dinner in the town down the mountain."
When Shen Luo heard Goudan's words, he was dumbfounded. Why didn't his parents mention these things to him?
He felt cold. Could it be that his parents had abandoned him?
Recalling the letters his parents sent him before, the words in their words were very polite to him.
After that, very few letters came. It turned out that his position had been replaced by someone before he knew it.
Next, he learned the current address of his parents from Goudan's words.
Now he has mixed emotions in his heart. He doesn't believe that his parents really abandoned him.
He wanted to see and confirm it with his own eyes, but before that he had to find someone first, that is, the old man who gave him the Book of Immortality.
So Shen Luo said goodbye to Goudan and went outside the old man's yard. When he saw that the door was open but not closed, he walked in.
He came to the old man's house and saw that there was no one inside.
"What a strange old man!"
Just when Shen Luo was very puzzled, a shadow appeared in front of him.
The old man's figure appeared in front of him, and Shen Luo looked at the old man in front of him.
After three years of separation, the other person is still the same as three years ago, without any change.
The old man looked at Shen Luo in front of him, smiled and said lightly: "You are here, I know you must have many questions in your heart, I can only say that it is all a matter of fate."
"What is fate? Taoism cultivates this life, Buddha cultivates the next life, the origin and destruction of fate are only in the heart."
