Seeking Immortality
Chapter 34. Old Place.
Under the dim sky of Southern Wilderness, a ray of green rays of light flashed quickly. In the gray sky of Southern Wilderness, this bright ray of green rays of light looked extremely dazzling, and seemed to bring a touch of vitality to the desolate world of Southern Wilderness.
On the green clouds, Xu Qingfan and Ting'er stood quietly. Xu Qingfan looked slightly sad, while Ting'er remained cold.
Looking at the familiar mountains and rivers under his feet, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. For the past half day, Xu Qingfan had used the "Three Zhang Qingling" to fly Ting'er over hundreds of miles in the southern wilderness, but he could not find a trace of life in the world under his feet. , even in the past half day, Xu Qingfan failed to find a living creature in the southern wilderness.
In the past, although the land in the Southern Wilderness was barren, with almost no grass growing, there were still many wild beasts running rampant in it, and many refugees from the Central Plains built cottages here to survive. Therefore, although the edges of the Southern Wilderness were dangerous and desolate, it was still dangerous and desolate. There is also some vitality.
But after Naxiu obtained the magic beads, the Southern Wilderness changed dramatically. Almost all the beasts in the Southern Wilderness were refined by Naxiu into his own magic soldiers with the magic beads, and all the immigrants who fled from the Central Plains were killed. And with the battle of Manzhai, those demonized beasts were all wiped out by the Jiuli tribe who were trained in the Kuxiu Valley. As a result, the originally prosperous Southern Wilderness border was now lifeless.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly, knowing that it would take at least hundreds of years for Nanhuang to regain its former prosperity.
Xu Qingfan turned to look at Ting'er, only to find that Ting'er was looking at the ground beneath her feet with her head lowered and indifferent eyes. There was no fluctuation in her eyes, and there was no trace of any emotion like when Xu Qingfan was taken flying by Lu Huayan for the first time. nervous.
Seeing Ting'er's calm look, Xu Qingfan should have been appreciative and relieved, but he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Ting'er is just a little girl under thirteen years old now, but looking at Ting'er's indifferent look now, is there any trace of the innocent and romantic look that a little girl should have? Although she was flying at high speed in the sky with her own help, there was no trace of curiosity on Ting'er's face. Is such a character good or bad for a little girl who is less than thirteen years old?
"We can only change slowly in the future." Xu Qingfan sighed in his heart.
As the landscape under his feet became more and more familiar, Xu Qingfan knew that he was getting closer to Xujiazhai. But Xu Qingfan was inexplicably panicked at this time. This kind of panic is not due to fear of being close to home, because Xu Qingfan's only relative is standing next to him. This kind of panic is because Xujiazhai represents more of a memory that Xu Qingfan doesn't want to look back on. Twenty-seven years ago, he escaped from Xujiazhai while hearing the screams of his parents and tribesmen. The scene at that time is still vivid in Xu Qingfan's mind.
"But now I have the ability to avenge my parents and my clan." Xu Qingfan thought of this and couldn't help but hold his hands tightly.
Ting'er, who was standing next to her, noticed something unusual about Xu Qingfan and couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Xu Qingfan, the doubtful look in her eyes flashed away.
Seeing the look in Ting'er's eyes, Xu Qingfan shook his head and shook off the inexplicable emotions in his heart. Then, as if to divert his attention, Xu Qingfan smiled and said to Ting'er: "Ting'er, has your father told you about Xujiazhai?"
Ting'er raised her head and glanced at Xu Qingfan again, seeming to wonder why Xu Qingfan said this, but she still shook her head slightly.
Xu Qingfan smiled slightly when he saw Ting'er shaking her head. He also knew that Xu Lin felt that he was ashamed of the ancestors of the Xu family and would not tell Ting'er this. So Xu Qingfan leisurely said to Ting'er: "The ancestor of our Xu family is named Xu Tian, and he is a great martial arts master. At that time, China was in chaos and the emperor was in power, so he and many like-minded friends joined forces to overthrow the then Tyranny. But after overthrowing the tyranny at that time, he was helpless to find that his like-minded friends had become the new ruling class and continued to oppress the common people. He tried to change his ancestors at first, but found that he was not only powerless. , was also ostracized by his former companions, and left in dismay. He led his tribe to the edge of the Southern Wilderness and established Xujiazhai. Although he had no power, he had no disputes and was content with himself. "
Seeing Xu Qingfan slowly describing the past events of Xujiazhai with a nostalgic expression, Ting'er just raised her head and looked quietly, but there seemed to be something more deep in her eyes.
"After the Xujiazhai was established on the edge of the Southern Wilderness, the early days were extremely difficult, and they would be attacked by the beasts of the Southern Wilderness at any time. But at that time, the Xu family members were not afraid of difficulties, and not only eliminated the beasts around the Xujiazhai, but also Helping other cottages on the edge of Southern Wilderness resist wild beasts is respected by the entire Southern Wilderness people." Speaking of this, Xu Qingfan's expression darkened slightly, as if he thought of what Xu Lin said about the other cottages in Southern Wilderness that made matters worse after the destruction of Xujiazhai. . But Xu Qingfan continued: "Later, Xu Tian passed away at the age of seventy, leaving behind a sentence: 'Don't bully others because of strength, don't bend the knee because of inferiority, just seek freedom and peace of mind, that's all.' , this sentence has also become the ancestral motto of our Xu family.”
Then, Xu Qingfan's tone became serious: "Unfortunately, twenty-seven years ago, a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum secretly planted by the Xu family attracted a blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast. Everyone in the Xu family village was caught off guard by it. Killed most of them in one go, and in the end only me and your father survived."
"Now, it's time to understand this hatred that has lasted for twenty-seven years."
In this way, Xu Qingfan slowly told Ting'er beside him about the history of the Xu family, his tone was heavy or proud, and Ting'er just looked up at Xu Qingfan, quietly listening to his narration, and never interrupted him from beginning to end.
Seeing Ting'er's silence, Xu Qingfan smiled slightly, but he didn't care. He just controlled the "Three Zhang Qingling" to speed up and fly quickly towards the direction of Xujiazhai.
As the scenery in front of him became more and more familiar, Xu Qingfan's expression became more and more profound, because he knew that he was getting closer and closer to the old site of Xujiazhai. Finally, Xu Qingfan's expression moved slightly, and he stopped the "Three Zhang Qingling".
At the foot of Xu Qingfan, on a not very tall hill, a dilapidated mountain village appeared in the eyes of Xu Qingfan and Ting'er. Compared with the barbarian village of Xiu, this mountain village seemed extremely small, covering only dozens of miles. The village was in ruins, and most of the houses in the village had collapsed. The village was full of dust and corpses, as if it had experienced a tragic war a long time ago.
This village was Xujiazhai, where Xu Qingfan had lived for more than ten years.
Looking at the village under his feet, Xu Qingfan's expression became more and more profound, and his mind could not help but recall the love of his parents, the education of the second elder, and the scolding of his cousin Xu Lin when he was young. Although Xu Qingfan had many unpleasant memories in Xujiazhai, such as the contempt of the elders in the clan, or the rejection of the brothers in the clan, at this time, looking at Xujiazhai, which he had not seen for 27 years, Xu Qingfan only recalled those beautiful things.
When something no longer exists, people always think of its beauty first.
Just as Xu Qingfan stood quietly in the air and remembered everything he had in Xujiazhai, his expression suddenly moved slightly. Because he suddenly noticed that a strong aura was spreading somewhere in Xujiazhai under his feet. This aura has no five elements, and it is full of vitality. It seems that it is not the aura of the immortal cultivator, but more like the aura emitted by the spiritual medicine.
"Could it be..." Xu Qingfan pondered for a moment, thought of a possibility, and then said to Ting'er beside him: "Ting'er, don't move here, I'll be back soon."
As he said, Xu Qingfan jumped off the "Three-foot Green Silk" and landed gently in Xujiazhai. Although the dilapidated Xujiazhai in front of him was very different from what Xu Qingfan remembered, although it had been 27 years, Xu Qingfan found that he was still very familiar with it. Every blade of grass, every brick and tile, as if he had seen it yesterday. Xu Qingfan can now find the residence of the second elder, the ancestral temple of the Xu family, and the martial arts training ground of Xujiazhai without hesitation.
But Xu Qingfan didn't care about sighing now, and didn't even bother to look at the corpse under his feet, but was eager to prove his guess. So after landing, he walked quickly towards the place where the spiritual energy was overflowing, bypassing the collapsed houses and avoiding the corpses on the ground. Xu Qingfan finally arrived at the destination, and saw a Lingzhi with spiritual energy overflowing in front of him.
Seeing this Lingzhi in front of him, Xu Qingfan was shocked. Isn’t this the Lingzhi that brought disaster to Xujiazhai 27 years ago? Why hasn’t it been eaten by the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast?
Just when Xu Qingfan was puzzled, he saw a little bit of green on the top of the Lingzhi, and after seeing this green, Xu Qingfan suddenly understood.
It takes at least a thousand years for a Lingzhi to mature, and in the South Wilderness with thin spiritual energy, it may take longer.
Twenty-seven years ago, Xu Qingfan also saw this Lingzhi. At that time, the green spots on the top of the Lingzhi were larger than now. Unlike now, it is difficult to find unless you observe carefully.
Each Ganoderma was originally green, but as time goes by, it will slowly turn golden from the root. When the golden color spreads to the whole body of the Ganoderma, it means that this Ganoderma has fully matured.
Back then, when the ancestors of the Xu family found this Ganoderma with 80% of its body covered in golden color somewhere in the southern wilderness, they were ecstatic. But they didn't expect that this Ganoderma would not mature until hundreds of years later, and they didn't expect that when the Ganoderma was about to mature, it would emit such a strong spiritual energy, bringing disaster to Xujiazhai.
"It should be that this Ganoderma has not matured yet, so the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast has not decided to eat it? So, the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast is still near Xujiazhai?"
Originally, Xu Qingfan didn't think that he could find the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast near Xujiazhai. The reason why he came to Xujiazhai this time was, first, to pay tribute to his parents and clansmen, and second, to find some clues about the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast here, but he didn't expect that the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast would be near Xujiazhai.
As if to confirm Xu Qingfan's guess, a deafening roar of an animal suddenly sounded, and Xu Qingfan's face changed drastically when he heard the direction of the roar.
"Oh no, that's the direction where Ting'er is!!"
Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan no longer hesitated and ran quickly in the direction of the roar.
ps: Sorry everyone, I just learned from a senior that if you don't update the VIP chapter on the first day of listing, you will be fined by Qidian, and the full attendance award for this month will be gone. So I promised that I can only upload one of the two public version chapters today. I can only upload the second chapter as a VIP chapter.
