A mortal woman dares to speak like this in front of Young Master Devil 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 Fang Family's house.
"She is very selfish, but for the sake of my father and me, she still chose to give in and take the beauty elixir after the persuasion of her adoptive mother. In her words, 'Husband and wife should understand and support each other as one body. Since my husband is willing to tolerate my willfulness of leaving early, then what's the harm in dressing up and preserving your beauty for the rest of my life?'"
Fu Xuanxing was startled and 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 that 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 said, '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 Donglai Cultivation World, there are very few cultivators who Heavenly Capital take seriously. When meditating and practicing, just close your eyes or open your eyes casually, 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 medicine until a few months before her death."
As a child, Fang Dongyuan gets along with his mother.
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 around Mortal 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 my mother's appearance with my own eyes, even though my mother was relieved and happy, telling herself not to care. But can she really not care?
Fang Dongyuan is willing to practice, and also longs to enter Gate of the Great Dao in this life.
Because he didn't want to be like his mother, haggard and powerless, and finally lie on the bed and die silently.
Mother can welcome Souls Return to Starry Heaven happily, but I can't!
"In the eyes of my mother, 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 that if she met 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 helped me understand it.
"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 live forever? Dao Attainment Realm?
"Reincarnation after reincarnation, reincarnation after reincarnation, the stars are constantly accumulating and going through Bandit Cultivator. The accumulation of hundreds of lives and thousands of lives will eventually make the stars move into Gate of the Great Dao.
"But in the continuous practice of practice, Star Spirit will also get tired, and it will take one or several lifetimes to rest.
"My adoptive mother said that my mother chose to live a mortal life because her true nature Star Spirit wanted to rest.
"My foster mother also told me that life is not just breathing and practicing. Cherish and take every day seriously. Even if it only lasts a hundred years, its meaning is worth more than a thousand years Ascetic Cultivation."
Fang Dongyuan recalls what his adoptive mother said to him back then.
He still doesn't fully believe what Star Spirit said, and only regards it as a fairy tale that Madam He weaves for himself.
But...
His mother is indeed as open-minded as Madam 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, let's 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 gradually 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. "Then Auntie treats you..."
Growing up in the Mysterious Subtle Sect, he rarely saw monks with the role of "mother". In the Fu Family--
There are more than ten people of the same generation including Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Henghua, Fu Tongjun, and 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 inevitable.
"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 Lord Jiang for decades, hoping that Young Lord Jiang could forget about 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.
It is too painful for children.
Young Lord Jiang originally did not plan to have children, but only planned to spend the rest of his life with his wife. He even discussed contraceptive measures with the Hongwen Pavilion and Madam He.
However, everyone was caught off guard, or it was the mission of Xuan Empress Lineage that prompted the birth of Fang Dongyuan.
Young Lord Jiang is one of the twelve Divine Veins left by Dragon-Dweller Civilization, and is a descendant of Divine Lord Dong. As long as he is Netherworld Realm of the Donglai Divine Continent, there is no way for him to be extinct.
This is "God's will", and it is also the protection reserved by the masters of Dragon-Dweller Civilization in the past for their descendants.
"My adoptive mother joked with my mother that she had rarely 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 control the fetus.
"Although it was an accident, my mother was looking forward to my birth with all her heart. Xuanxing, I believe your mother also had this idea, which is why she gave birth to you on her own under difficult circumstances."
Fang Dongyuan understands 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.
He gave his godbrother a good meal to comfort him until Fu Xuanxing closed his eyes and concentrated, then used "Tai Chi Sleeping Art" to regain his energy, and Fang Dongyuan silently jumped off the table.
After chatting about "mother" for a long time, he felt a little melancholy and could not sit still peacefully, 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.
I walked over and saw Fu Yaozhen sitting in front of the spinning wheel weaving.
He stood by the window and said happily, "I said, you are really leisurely. Is it for Xuanxing or for little brother Nameless?"
"If you are so bored, you can go mining at Dragon King Hill now."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
He lay by the window and looked at the girl in the room.
Fu Yaozhen, who has long hair hanging down her waist and wears a green robe with a plain belt. She focuses on weaving, is somewhat similar to her mother in her memory.
He vaguely remembered that his mother did not like to use the looms blessed by his father and stepmother. Whenever he sewed clothes for himself, he would spin the cloth and cut the clothes by himself.
"I see that you... seem to like this ordinary life?"
Fu Yaozhen's hand holding the shuttle paused slightly and looked towards 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."
Young Lord Jiang No matter what, it is impossible for him to plow the fields like ordinary people every day. Planting flowers and vegetables in the courtyard at home for his wife is already his limit.
"The husband is outside tilling the fields, and the wife is at home weaving. When it's time for dinner, the rice and vegetables are cooked and sent to the field. After the husband and wife talk, they eat together. Then the wife packs the dishes and takes them home. Until the husband comes home, and then... Is this what you and Xuanxing have been doing these past two days? I heard from little brother Nameless that you deliver meals every day at noon?"
"If you are mentally ill, go back and ask Little Six to take a look at you."
Marrying your husband and raising your children? Living an ordinary life?
It is absolutely impossible for me to have such a life.
"But I remember, you are not -"
Fu Yaozhen said decisively, "I have made a vow long ago that I will never marry in this life. I will always be with the green lantern, play the harp and meditate. This is my life."
According to the future he foresees, this is the only wish that can avoid death.
Even if I am not willing to live this kind of life, this is my only choice in order to escape death.
Not getting married?
But that's not what you said when you were a kid.
Fang Dongyuan whispered in his heart.
Just because the boy touched the wedding dress made by the girl, the girl cried and asked the other party to compensate, and even carried a sword that was taller than herself to chop people.
When you see the other party running away, you go directly to your 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.
Don't talk about it, I just talked to someone and made others feel bad, and I felt much better.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, Fang Dongyuan heard a cough on the roof.
Looking up, the young man 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 boy saw Fang Dongyuan jumping 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 fishing tomorrow. By the way, I just listened to what you said..."
Fang Dongyuan was startled for a moment, then remembered.
The house was leaky and had no soundproofing at all. When I spoke 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 strong 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. Isn't it useless to tell others my thoughts?"
"Then do you think it is 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 Yellow Banner Village and has never even seen the outside world, let alone any talk 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 will pass by in a blink of an eye. But as long as you live happily and feel satisfied, it is meaningful. It is better than a thousand years Ascetic Cultivation, which will eventually disappear like flowers in the mirror, which is what the village chief grandpa said."
"What he said makes sense."
The village chief of Yellow Banner Village?
Fang Dongyuan looks at the village chief's house in the distance.
Five Poisons Sect is a guest at his home. Fang Dongyuan dare not pry, so he takes Divine Sense back.
Perhaps, this village chief is also a cultivator?
Five Poisons Sect Lord and a little old man were sitting across from each other, drinking tea leisurely.
"Master, there is no need for a big figure in cultivation like you to test the old man. The old man is just a mortal. It's just that our ancestor Yellow Banner Village gave birth to a few monks 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 been away from Yellow Banner Village all my life. The reason why I know some things is because a traveler who came to Yellow Banner Village took the time to teach me."
Five Poisons Sect noticed the old man's appearance and lowered his head to look at the poisonous insects hidden around them.
Jade Scorpion Gu, Thunder Bee Gu, Heavenly Serpent Gu...
Dozens of poisonous insects surrounded the village chief, but not a single one dared to approach.
What lies does this old man lie?
Is he an ordinary person?
Even the Foundation Establishment monk would not dare to make my Gu insect afraid like this.
He has Golden Core Realm, which is equal to or even higher than me in strength!
This is the reason why Five Poisons Sect, the leader of Yellow Banner Village, has always been honest and stayed out of trouble. He had hoped that people from Qiu Yu and Ao Dezheng would seek bad luck from the old village chief and put it to the test.
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 the monks show such courtesy to the mortals?
Mortals are treated like ants, crushed to death casually. Even 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 is sitting on the roof chatting with the boy.
After a while, he suddenly said:
"Yellow Banner Village is too small. 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 out jade. Before Fang Dongyuan could say anything, Fu Yaozhen directly used his words to persuade him.
"Since you are his sworn brother, you won't refuse his sworn brother's plea, right?"
Without giving Fang Dongyuan any excuse to refuse, Fu Xuanxing decided the matter.
But Fang Dongyuan really wanted to study Dragonblood Stele left behind by his adoptive father, so he did not refuse.
Watching the boy return to the house, Fang Dongyuan thought for a while and got up to go find the village chief.
I just used the boy as an excuse to test the village chief's abilities.
Five Poisons Sect Master tried again but to no avail. During the stalemate, he heard footsteps outside.
"Junior Fang Dongyuan, please see the village chief Yellow Banner Village."
The village chief slowly put down the tea cup and said to Master Five Poisons Sect: "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."
This chapter will not be edited again, it only has these words, so it will not be used to prevent theft.
--
Originally, this plot should be written in detail. But if I write about the psychological activities of people like the village chief and Five Poisons Sect in a trivial manner, I worry that everyone will be anxious.
I'll simply go over the big picture of this plot and point out a few details for foreshadowing. Use a whole article of immortal torture as a dumpling, just for that dish of jealousy.
The plot of Yellow Banner Village buries a time difference that is easy to understand, which is just a very simple misleading writing method. I deliberately wrote Wood Radiance and Flame Radiance in every transition. I also wrote the "Seven Days Sequence" in detail from time to time to facilitate everyone's understanding.
Is there anyone who hasn't noticed that Fu Xuanxing and the others entered Yellow Banner Village, two days after Fu Henghua entered Leopard-Tail Island, right?
In other words, since Fu Xuanxing entered the village, Fu Henghua has taken care of everyone.
As an elder brother, how could you let your younger brother make any mistakes in finding his mother?
