Once you find the road, you'll see the road signs.
Shan Heyuan's phone was long gone, and he had lost his ID card, making it difficult for him to ask strangers for help.
Moreover, even if you seek help, the subsequent procedures are very troublesome.
He simply grabbed Shen Duheng and flew along the highway towards their small hometown.
With their cultivation level, flying on a sword is much faster than flying in an airplane.
More than half an hour later, Shan Heyuan successfully pulled Shen Duheng to stand at the gate of his own courtyard.
He had been away from home for so many years, yet the courtyard remained unchanged, and his mother, who walked unsteadily in the courtyard, was still the same, as if the entire courtyard had been frozen in the old days.
He thought he didn't remember, but to his surprise, everyone and everything in his memory were as clear as new.
Shan Heyuan's eyes felt hot.
He hid at the door, watching his mother sweep the yard, water the plants, and pick vegetables. After watching for a while, he gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out, and Mom came over to open the door with her hands behind her back.
"It's me," Shan Heyuan said in a hoarse voice from outside the door.
"Who are you?" Mom didn't recognize him at first and asked again, but she still opened the gate.
Just before the courtyard gate opened, Shan Heyuan's clothes changed rapidly, transforming into a T-shirt and casual pants.
After his mother opened the door, he had just finished dressing, composed himself, and smiled at her.
His mother looked at him suspiciously. "Heyuan? Didn't you go hiking? How many more days will it be before you come back?"
As she spoke, Mom hesitated for a moment and didn't let her open the door.
Shan Heyuan sniffed. "Something unexpected happened, so I came back early."
His mother looked at him and asked, "What happened? Why are you so different?"
Shan Heyuan: "What do you mean I've changed? I still only have one nose and two eyes. Does that mean you'll disown me, Mom, if I become more handsome?"
His mother then reached out and slapped him. "Stop joking! But you really have become more handsome. You posted in the group this morning that you were going hiking, I thought you would come back with a tan."
It turns out it only happened this morning.
Shan Heyuan was deeply shaken.
For his mother, only a morning had passed, but for him, thousands of years had truly gone by.
Mom couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Why did you come back so suddenly? Tell me quickly if you have something to say."
Shan Heyuan smiled and said, "I fell and didn't want to hike anymore, so I came back."
His mother was startled and grabbed his arm. "Where did you fall? Are you hurt? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
Shan Heyuan: "It's alright, it's been checked."
Hearing this, his mother was still a little worried, but she didn't say much. She just pulled him inside to sit down and then prepared to cook.
Mom took out her phone. "I'll call your dad and tell him to bring back plenty of meat and vegetables when you get back. How about beef brisket for lunch?"
Shan Heyuan: "Okay. Anything is fine, as long as it's made by Mom."
Mom's eyes crinkled with amusement. "You sound so pitiful. Then have your dad buy a couple more meat dishes, and bring back a pound of roast goose while he's at it."
After receiving the call, Shan Heyuan's father didn't linger outside any longer. He quickly returned, carrying six or seven bags of vegetables in both hands, swaying back and forth.
Upon seeing Shan Heyuan, his father exclaimed in surprise, "How come you've changed so much in just two days? Did you take some kind of magic pill?"
Shan Heyuan: "Have you become unlike me?"
Dad put down the vegetables. "Bullshit, even if you shed a layer of skin, you're still you. What's the difference?"
Shan Heyuan smiled and said, "I'll help."
"What can I do to help? You're finally back, go and rest." Dad waved his hand. "Dinner will be ready in an hour."
Shan Heyuan: "You really don't need my help?"
Dad: "You've learned to be polite, haven't you?"
Shan Heyuan was given a push, and walked upstairs with a big smile—his room was upstairs.
Half a minute later, Dad peeked out from the kitchen, and after confirming that he wasn't downstairs, he lowered his voice and said to Mom, "The youngest one is definitely acting a bit strange. What do you think might have happened?"
"How would I know?" Mom said in a low voice, "It feels like I haven't seen him in years, he's changed in every way, but then I see him again, and he's still the same person."
"Do you think this kid broke up with his girlfriend? He's suffered a major blow; he's completely different now."
"It doesn't really look like it."
"That must be part of the reason, otherwise the change wouldn't be so drastic. You know, he's already this age, and I've never seen him date anyone. I wonder when he'll bring someone back for us to meet."
"Go away, what age is he? Can't you see how tender your son's face is? He's in the prime of his life, and you're making him sound like an old man."
Shan Heyuan led the concealed Shen Duheng back to his room.
He lived in this room from the age of four to twenty-one, until after graduation when he found a stable job. His parents and older brother, feeling sorry for his long hours, helped him make a down payment on a house near his company, and only then did he move out.
Although I don't come back often, the room is cleaned regularly. When you come in, there's a faint scent—the smell of old houses, a mixture of fabrics, cleaning agents, and the outside wind.
Shan Heyuan turned to Shen Duheng: "Welcome to the room where I grew up."
Shen Duheng's gaze fell on the poster of the True Person on the wall. "Who is that?"
Shan Heyuan followed his gaze and couldn't help but laugh, a nostalgic look in his eyes. "The more famous people in our world, I used to idolize them when I was a kid."
Shan Heyuan beckoned to Shen Duheng and led him to the computer. "Our world also has something similar to the Shadow Stone. It contains some videos, and if things really get interesting, it's even more advanced than the cultivation world."
As he spoke, Shan Heyuan turned on his computer and showed Shen Duheng a video website.
Shan Heyuan sat in a computer chair, wearing a T-shirt and casual pants, her hair now styled as short hair.
Shen Duheng was dressed in a long robe, his long hair hanging down, and he carried a faint fragrance.
Shan Heyuan turned his head and saw his handsome face right next to him, and smiled.
Shen Duheng remained in that position, turning to look at him. "What are you laughing at?"
Shan Heyuan: "I never imagined that all the fantasies I had as a teenager would come true in this way."
As a teenager, he thought he was purely heterosexual, and when watching various anime, he often fantasized about older women.
Unexpectedly, instead of an older sister, she found a long-haired swordsman, and the two even fell in love and became lifelong partners.
Shan Heyuan reached out and touched Shen Duheng's face, then leaned close to him and said, "How about I introduce you to my family in a couple of days?"
Shen Duheng: "Okay."
Shan Heyuan: "Wait until you're more familiar with this world, so you don't give yourself away."
Speaking of this world, Shan Heyuan is quite proud of the current state of the Earth.
Although there is no cultivation civilization here, the technological civilization is not bad either, with many outstanding individuals and many great figures who are striving to explore the origin of the world.
There is such a group of people in every world.
Chapter 80 Extra 2
As they were chatting quietly in the room, Shan Heyuan's ears suddenly twitched.
He heard several familiar voices coming from downstairs.
He stood up and looked out the window with Shen Duheng.
Just then, a middle-aged couple came in through the gate with their two children, carrying large bags and small packages—it was his older brother's family.
Shan Heyuan pushed open the window and called out, "Big brother! Sister-in-law! Shuoshuo! Xinxin!"
Shan Tongfeng nodded. "How old are you? Still peeking out the window?"
Kang Ying laughed and said, "Heyuan, you've become even more handsome in just a few days!"
The two children shouted together, "Uncle!"
