The soft light of the setting sun shines through the clouds on this small town.
Looking down from a high altitude on this small town, bathed in the dim afterglow, it looks so old.
This is just a small border town after all...
This is where Chu Feng lived for sixteen years.
A small town on the eastern border of Xia Kingdom—Qing Yuanzhen.
Originally, the ruler of this area belonged to the Liu State, but there would definitely be frictions and wars between countries. The five hundred miles including Qingyuan Town belonged to the Xia State a hundred years ago.
The country is backed by the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and some small conquests by the Immortal Sect are allowed. However, to launch a national war, the royal family needs to ask the Immortal Sect for instructions. This is not something they can decide on their own, because the territory of the country is also the territory of the sect. To develop a disciple or a sect, you need to recruit some people with spiritual roots to the mountain.
Gu He only learned this after talking to Chu Feng.
The Immortal Sect behind the Liu Kingdom is the Ziguang Sect, while the Immortal Sect behind the Xia Kingdom is the Wuya Sect!
Now Chu Feng and Tang Ruxuan are in the area of Wuya Sect, thinking that Gu He is taking Chu Feng to Ziguang Sect, but in fact they are also robbing Wuya Sect people...
Chu Feng made Xiaobai stop when he was going down a deserted mountain.
"Xiao Bai, go find a place to hang out and pick us up later."
Ever since Xiaobai and Guhe came back from the tribulation, its breath would be filled with dense glow. Chu Feng could only let Xiaobai go and play by himself. Taking Xiaobai around in this secular world would cause a sensation.
Xiaobai nodded humanely and spread his wings and flew away.
"Brother Chu Feng, where is your home?" Tang Ruxuan asked while stretching her waist. Flying on the crane for three consecutive days made her a little tired.
"The biggest house on the east side of the mountain is my home." Chu Feng replied.
"Oh! You also come from a wealthy family!"
"Not as good as you, the mayor's daughter." Chu Feng smiled.
"Tell me, do your family think you brought someone home?" Tang Ruxuan asked enthusiastically.
"There is only an old housekeeper in the house."
Chu Feng didn't answer Tang Ruxuan's questions anymore and took her home.
On the way, Tang Ruxuan asked Chu Feng to buy her candied haws.
There was no worldly money in Chu Feng. Fortunately, these hawkers recognized him as Young Master Chu after careful inspection.
In this small border town, there will be no changes even if it falls under the new state management. More than ten generations of the Chu family have lived here, which can be said to be a great family.
The fields in the homes of these small traders were rented from the Chu family, so how could they dare to accept money from Chu Feng.
Chu Feng can also be regarded as a capitalist in this small town.
…
Outside the house, a rickety old man was sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the small pile of fallen leaves that had been swept into a pile was scattered to the ground.
The old man wanted to sweep it again, but he couldn't help coughing for a while.
Maybe the autumn wind is too cold.
"As you get older, why don't you wear more clothes?"
The sound is actually not loud.
But the old man trembled all over and turned around to look at the man in white in front of him.
The man in white was looking at him with a smile.
"Young...Young Master..." The old man's voice was a little hoarse, either because he was old or because he had caught a cold.
"You came back. I thought I would never see you again in this life."
The old housekeeper held Chu Feng's hand tightly and looked at it carefully.
"Uncle Tian, hello!" Tang Ruxuan on the side also greeted politely.
"Okay, okay, is it Young Madam?" The old housekeeper smiled kindly at Tang Ruxuan, and then looked at Chu Feng with a questioning look in his eyes.
Chu Feng smiled slightly and shook his head.
"It's cold outside, young master, please follow me back to the house, and I'll make tea for you." Although the old housekeeper was a little disappointed, he happily took Chu Feng and Tang Ruxuan back to the house.
August is high and windy.
In fact, it was quite cold inside the house, but the old housekeeper felt that it was not that cold today.
After pouring two cups of hot tea for Chu Feng and Tang Ruxuan each, the old housekeeper asked: "Master, how have you been doing these years?"
"Not bad." Chu Feng replied.
"Um...how long will you stay when you come back this time?" the old housekeeper spoke again.
Chu Feng was silent for a while and then said: "Look at you, then go to the cemetery to see Lao Chu and his wife, and we will leave after a while."
…
The wind seemed to be a lot stronger.
The old housekeeper suddenly turned around and said softly: "I'm going to get some food for the young master."
Since Chu Feng left, the old housekeeper dispersed some of the servants at home, leaving him alone.
The old housekeeper was very old and trembling when he walked.
"Old Tian, I have some longevity-prolonging elixirs..." Chu Feng couldn't bear it.
Before he finished speaking, the old housekeeper showed a tired smile to Chu Feng: "Master, I'm a little tired."
"I just...can't let you go."
Chu Feng didn't say anything. He could tell that the old housekeeper's time was running out.
late.
The old butler brought the last dish to the table, held bowls and chopsticks for Chu Feng and Tang Ruxuan, and said softly: "Master, miss, please try it quickly. I haven't cooked like this for a long time. I don't know if my cooking skills have deteriorated. "
Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, they were all Chu Feng's favorite foods.
Tang Ruxuan was eating heartily and did not forget to praise the old housekeeper's cooking skills.
Chu Feng has been a picky eater since he was a child, and the old housekeeper went to the town to find a chef to learn cooking skills.
With these dishes, Chu Feng ate several bowls of rice and praised the old housekeeper: "Old Tian, your cooking skills are as good as ever!"
Seeing Chu Feng devouring the food, the old housekeeper smiled from ear to ear.
In fact, Chu Feng had already tasted the food of this world.
But the old butler made it, and Chu Feng felt it tasted good when he ate it.
As for what it tastes like.
Chu Feng just couldn't tell.
——
The next day, it was dawn.
Chu Feng asked the old housekeeper to prepare some offerings for worship and take them up the mountain.
Today's wind is stronger than yesterday. Chu Feng stood in front of a tree, looked at the two tombs, and said softly.
"Lao Chu, mother, I'm here to see you."
Then they lit incense, burned paper, and paid tribute with wine.
Gong's wine is the spiritual wine brought back by Ziguang Sect.
After that, Chu Feng kowtowed three times to the two tombs, but did not get up and just knelt like this until dark.
"Hey..." Chu Feng sighed before leaving.
Chu Feng only has one memory of his mother.
That was when the Soul-Destroying Divine Thunder came down. Chu Feng could actually withstand it, but his mother used her mortal body to protect him.
As for his father, Lao Chu, who had a son and lost his wife in old age, she relied on Chu Feng for everything, even if Chu Feng asked for the stars in the sky, he would probably not think of picking them.
Lao Chu hoped that the Chu family would be prosperous and had arranged several marriages for Chu Feng during his lifetime. He wanted to marry him and take concubines. But who wanted to tell Chu Feng about his ancestors before his death? After Chu Feng made his own decision, he resigned from these arranged marriages. After getting married, they actually lit the incense to lead to immortality and embarked on the path to immortality.
According to the old housekeeper, a girl who was once engaged to Chu Feng actually embarked on the path to immortality and joined the Wuya Sect.
