Ji Xiu Niang walked all the way to the house where she had lived for decades. Every year before, every day when she arrived at the door of this house, Ji Xiu Niang would always feel a sense of loneliness in her heart. But today was different. When she arrived at this house, Ji Xiu Niang felt An unprecedented sense of ease and joy.
She pushed the door open, walked in slowly, then turned around and closed the door gently.
Her house is very simple, with nothing else except an ordinary Eight Immortals table and a wooden window.
The furnishings in this room are also very simple, but there is a wooden frame in one corner of the room.
This wooden frame is in the shape of a cross, with a red wedding robe embroidered with gold silk hanging on it. A shining phoenix crown hangs on the top. The gold beads on it sway slightly with the wind coming in through the window. , making a jingling sound.
Ji Xiu Niang leaned forward tremblingly, raising her old hand slightly and stroking the red wedding robe. She smiled, but this smile made her cry.
"Mother...the child is unfilial..." Ji Xiu Niang was already crying.
The criticism and pain I have suffered over the past century seemed to be vented at this moment.
This wedding dress was sewn by Ji Jinhua for Ji Xiu Niang before Ji Liao left. But who knew that Ji Liao suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
And she also chose to stay with the helpless Ji Shuangyue, and she also brought this wedding dress with her and has kept it until now.
A hundred years later, this wedding dress is still bright and beautiful, but her best years were spent quietly without being loved and looked down upon.
After crying for a while, Ji Xiu Niang felt a surge of heat in her belly, followed by a strong wave of tiredness hitting her head.
She reached out her hand and gently dusted off the dust on the wedding dress, then returned to bed, closed her eyelids, and soon fell asleep.
And just after her consciousness sank in, all the pores around her body suddenly opened, and streams of gray mist spurted out. Within a moment, the entire room was filled with this gray mist.
Later, Ji Xiu Niang's old skin began to change, and gradually became transparent, and her blood vessels and internal organs became clearly visible.
But I saw that the already old heart seemed to be rejuvenated and began to beat rapidly, making a muffled sound of "dong dong dong". Driven by the heart, the flow rate of the bright red blood suddenly accelerated, almost reaching the speed of an ordinary person. Several times or even dozens of times, strong and overbearing vitality began to emanate from her body.
Ji Xiu Niang seemed to have a sense of taste, and she still slept soundly.
At the same time in another house.
Ji Liao helped Ji Shuangyue onto the bed and helped him lie down.
He moved and sat on the edge of the bed, holding Ji Shuangyue's hand and looking at it with a smile on his face.
Suddenly his expression moved, he sensed something, and looked out the window.
his eyes
The light inside flickered for a while, then he withdrew his gaze and looked at Ji Shuangyue with a smile, "Mom, that life-extending pill is so precious, why did you give it to Xiu Niang?"
Ji Liao said very calmly.
He had waited four years to get this life-extending pill. Now it is impossible to get one. And his mother's vitality has dried up. Now she is just hanging on by will. It was just a matter of words. Ji Liao knew what the consequences would be for her mother, but when her mother gave the elixir to Ji Xiu's mother, he didn't stop her too much. Ji Liao knew that even if her mother really took it at that time, when the time comes When Ji Xiu Niang's life is over, her mother will definitely follow Ji Xiu Niang as she said before.
Ji Liao understood her mother's character.
And his stubborn temper was inherited from his mother, and her mother was even more stubborn than him, so Ji Liao didn't dare to force anything on her mother.
"Our family owes Xiu Niang too much..." Ji Shuangyue sighed.
Ji Liao smiled softly, "Mom, I want to spend more time with you."
Ji Shuangyue also had a smile on her old face after hearing this, "After experiencing all kinds of suffering, what's the point of living? Mom has lived enough in this life, she just wants to be reincarnated as a cow or a horse in the next life, not a human being. "
Tears welled up in Ji Liao's eyes again when he heard this, "Mom, it's all my fault..."
Ji Liao was halfway through his words but suddenly stopped, choked with sobs that he could no longer speak.
"I don't blame you." Ji Shuangyue raised her hand and gently wiped away Ji Liao's tears and said with a smile, "If I want to blame, I blame your damn dad for leaving us orphans and widows. If my mother met that man on the road to Huangquan, Old man, my mother will definitely not be able to spare him."
"Hahaha." Ji Liao smiled, but this smile was uglier than crying.
"Xiu Niang is a good girl. Do you understand her seriously? Don't ignore her just because you are a monk at the Golden Core Stage. I, Ji Shuangyue, will only know Ji Xiu Niang as my daughter-in-law. Do you understand?" ?”
Ji Liao heard the meaning of Ji Shuangyue's words and nodded slightly, "I understand, kid."
This Ji Xiu Niang had been engaged to Ji Liao when he first embarked on the path of cultivating immortality. However, he suddenly left without saying goodbye. Not only was he sorry for his mother, but he also failed Ji Xiu Niang.
It's just that Ji Liao thought that after he left, Ji Xiu Niang would break their engagement and marry someone else, but he didn't expect that Ji Xiu Niang would stay a widow for him for a hundred years.
Ji Liao doesn't need to think about it to know what Ji Xiu Niang has been through for so many years, and he can also guess what others will say about her. Being able to endure this and accompany his mother on his behalf for a hundred years, Ji Liao is full of gratitude to Ji Xiu Niang, and at the same time, he feels deeply from the bottom of his heart. There was a surge of admiration for Ji Xiu Niang.
"Your father and I are both direct bloodlines of the Ji family. Your father's bloodline cannot be cut off with you, do you understand?" At this time, Ji Shuangyue said again.
"My child knows, my child understands." Ji Liao nodded again.
Ji Shuangyue reached out and stroked Ji Liao's cheek, her dim eyes full of endearment, "You finally
grown up.... "
"Yes, the child has grown up." Ji Liao agreed.
"You must have suffered a lot in the past hundred years." Ji Shuangyue asked.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how hard it is, I'll persevere."
"Well..." Ji Shuangyue snorted lightly, and then asked again, "Tell me, why did you suddenly leave home? I know the children I raised. If there is no big thing to support me, my Children don’t just leave without saying a word.”
Ji Liao froze when he heard this, and his eyes moved slightly.
He had always kept the matter of his inheritance from his ancestors a secret and never mentioned it to outsiders.
"If you are in trouble, don't say anything..." Ji Shuangyue saw Ji Liao's behavior and said calmly, without any intention of blaming him.
"It doesn't matter." Ji Liao said, raised his hand and waved it casually. A talisman immediately shot out from his palm, and it exploded with a twist in the air. Then a faint yellow light curtain slowly opened, This room is isolated from the outside world.
After doing this, Ji Liao took back his hand and turned to look at Ji Shuangyue lying on the bed.
"Mom, I wonder if you still remember that many years ago, Ji Feng and Ji Gang and I wiped the statue of our ancestor and it fell off the statue?"
Ji Xiu Niang's eyes moved slightly, then she nodded and asked, "I remember that not long after that, you were able to draw talismans with Qi. Could it be that..."
"Exactly!" Ji Liao nodded slightly, and then continued, "That day, by chance, I received the inheritance from my ancestor, and the ancestor's condition was that I should avenge his death!"
Ji Shuangyue frowned slightly when she heard this and listened quietly.
"This is an absolute secret. I have never mentioned it to anyone. At that time, I wanted to practice in the Ji family. However, as my cultivation level increased, the Ji family could no longer satisfy my cultivation, so the child had to join a sect. It only takes practice. I was engaged to Xiu Niang at that time. If I told you, you would never let me leave just like that."
"Well...if it had been that time, I would have let you take Xiu Niang away with you." Ji Shuangyue nodded.
"Yes, it's just that I have my ancestor's last wish and it's inconvenient to have one person with me, so there's nothing I can do about it," Ji Liao said.
"Well..." Ji Shuangyue hummed again.
This hundred-year-old heart knot was finally completely opened at this moment.
Then Ji Liao began to tell Ji Shuangyue the details of the inheritance from his ancestor that day, and then began to tell him about his various experiences in the world of immortality, but he downplayed the many crises.
A full hour passed, and at midnight, Ji Liao's voice quietly stopped.
Ji Shuangyue just listened quietly, and she could tell from Ji Liao's few words how much Ji Liao had suffered for his ancestor's last wish in the past hundred years.
She raised her hand to wipe it again
Ji Liao's face said, "I'm really sorry for you."
"It's not bitter!" Ji Liao replied with a smile.
During these hundred years of cultivation, the hardships had never been mentioned to outsiders. After telling his mother about it today, Ji Liao felt much happier.
"Looking at you like this, you really look like your damn dad, as honest as a stubborn donkey."
"Hehehe, I think I'm more like you." Ji Liao chuckled.
"Hahaha." Ji Shuangyue laughed when she heard the words. After a moment, she told her again, "Since you promised the ancestor, you must do it. Don't let the ancestor have no peace under the Nine Springs."
"Mom, don't worry, the child will definitely kill Taoist Huayun with his own hands."
"Tomorrow you will be the groom. Go back to your room and go to sleep."
"My dear, I want to spend more time with you." Ji Liao looked at Ji Shuangyue and said softly.
"I'm an old lady, why should I stay with you? Go back to sleep." Ji Shuangyue urged.
"Okay, those Ji family members outside are still waiting at the door. Let's go talk to them." Ji Liao said.
"Hmm..." Ji Shuangyue hummed, then slowly closed her eyelids.
Ji Shuangyue repeatedly mentioned that he would marry Ji Xiuniang tomorrow, but Ji Liao did not want to refute her mother's intention.
At the same time, he has no objection to marrying Ji Xiu Niang. This should have been done a hundred years ago. If he comes back this time and leaves Ji Xiu Niang alone, then he will really be a wolf-hearted person who is worse than an animal.
Ji Liao sat on the edge of the bed and watched Ji Shuangyue's breathing gradually stabilize, as if she was fast asleep. He sighed softly, brushed away the scattered gray hair from her forehead, and gently covered her with a quilt.
He then got up and walked out of the house.
