Son-in-law [Cultivator]

Yan An was quickly brought over.

After a spiritual root test, Yan An was indeed a wood-type heavenly spirit root.Shuo Changfeng even stated on the spot that he "would like to accept Yan An as his apprentice", with the heart of An Jiangyou.

With such backing, Jiang You certainly felt at ease.But Yan An could only look up at Jiang You with a pale face, at a loss, and turned a blind eye against Shuo Changfeng.

Fortunately, Shuo Changfeng was kind-hearted, and he could tell that the two had a deep bond, so he just stroked his beard and smiled at Jiang You, and left first.

After Venerable Shuo left, Jiang You suddenly picked up Yan An and walked towards his room.

The ten-year-old child was thin and weak, and he didn't feel any weight in his arms.

Jiang You hadn't used the Thousand Faces effect before.But after leaving the testing room, his face and demeanor changed drastically, which made Yan An stunned, with his hands wrapped around his neck awkwardly, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.

It wasn't until he returned to the room that Jiang You changed back to his original appearance.

Jiang You sat on the edge of the bed, letting Yan An lean in his arms.He looked into the child's eyes, stroked the child's back, and said apologetically, "I was the one who lost my temper in the tent earlier, I'm sorry."

Yan An obviously didn't expect Master to apologize first, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head like a rattle: "It's okay, Master can do anything to me!" He held Jiang You's hand tightly. Yijiao looked at him in panic, "I don't want to worship that Venerable Shuo as my teacher...I think, I want to follow Master..."

Jiang You touched his head: "Why?"

"Shuo Venerable has reached the half-step of becoming an immortal. The 'immortal master' you called earlier is right for him... It is our blessing that he is willing to accept you as his apprentice."

Yan An held onto Jiang You's clothes tightly, fearing that he would be abandoned by Jiang You, his face very similar to Ming Yan wanted to cry: "But, but I want to follow Master, I don't want to follow others..."

Jiang You sighed: "But I'm looking for someone. One day, I have to go." Seeing that Yan An opened his mouth and was about to speak, he cut off his words, "I can't take you away."

Yan An stared at him blankly, this time, he heard the undeniable rejection in Jiang You's words.

Jiang You stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears: "I would like Venerable Shuo to accept you as a disciple, firstly, so that you will be taken care of after I leave, and secondly, to deceive others."

Yan An came back to his senses, and wiped away his tears indiscriminately: "...to cover people's eyes and ears?"

Jiang You nodded: "Yes. Venerable Shuo asked me to teach the monks in the city how to mobilize the righteousness of the world. If you go on a business trip, I can't protect you."

Yan An became impatient: "Then, will Master be in danger?"

Jiang You played with Qianmian: "One thing, but Venerable Shuo will protect me. This mask was given to me by him to change my appearance and temperament."

"So I hope you can worship him as your teacher, so that he is also willing to protect you, so that I don't have to worry about the future."

"...Then, Master, how long can you stay here..."

"I don't know," Jiang You patted him on the back, "up to 200 years."

200...

Yan An already knew that 200 years is actually very short for a monk.But 200 years is better than nothing.

Yan An huddled in Jiang You's arms, sobbing softly: "Then Master will accompany me for another 200 years... okay?"

Jiang You didn't speak.

He looked at Yan An's eyes that were very similar to Ming Yan but full of pleading, and finally his heart softened, and he did not expressly refuse again.

Convincing Yan An to become a teacher, a big stone in Jiang You's heart finally fell.

——He has realized that nothing can be changed.So trying to make Yan An live a better life is the only thing he can do now.

Yan An quickly worshiped Venerable Shuo as his teacher.Although the scene did not have the extravagance and luxury of the peaceful era, the monks in the city gathered together with envy and joy on their faces.

They all respected Venerable Shuo and envied Yan An's good luck.And the low-ranking monks who had bullied and laughed at Yan An before all came up to Yan An with shy faces, trying to build relationships with each other.

Yan An naturally ignored them.

At the same time, a "Dark Venerable" quietly appeared in the monk camp.He began to teach the monks how to perceive the righteousness of the world, and finally mobilized its secret method for his own use.With the passage of time, many monks felt a sense of righteousness, and each relied on killing countless demons in the battlefield, Jiang You just became famous.

Time flies, 70 years have passed in a blink of an eye.

The battle between the human race and the demon race has finally come to a decisive moment.

During this period, the turbid air filled the sky and filled the sky, coming from the demon clan's residence.If most monks hadn't learned to mobilize the righteousness of the world, I'm afraid they would all die under the infestation of the turbidity.

Even so, people still die every day in the city, but the number of newborns is far less than the number of deaths.

In the wordless stele that recorded the information of all the heroes, there were gradually many jade plaques.

Feeling the bone-chilling desolation, Jiang You fought side by side with everyone as a participant.

Constantly killing demons and guarding Floating Cloud City, his cultivation base has easily broken through the shackles of Jindan 50 years ago, becoming a real Nascent Soul cultivator; breaking through Nascent Soul seven years ago, he is now a great power in the mid-out of his body!In such an intermediate continent, as long as you don't offend the top monks, you can almost walk sideways.

Jiang You no longer escaped from anything.

As the "Dark Venerable", he led everyone to guard this Floating Cloud City.

This is a dark battle.No one can remember how long the time has passed, and how many demons he has killed.It's just that with the powerful attack of the demon clan, it was finally killed by Shuo Changfeng, and the battle to seal the demons was finally over.

——After a hundred years, Xiao Yuanzhou's battle to seal the demons is finally over!

At this moment, countless people cheered, roared, and howled, venting their feelings for victory to their heart's content. The pain and sorrow that could not be described in words in the past century, mourning for the comrades who died beside them...

Jiang You looked at everyone quietly.

One will be a million bones.

Most of the monks who learned how to mobilize the righteousness of the world died on the front line because they fought the enemy bravely.Today, there are less than a hundred fighters left in the field.

The spring breeze passed by gently, with a little warmth, as if quietly comforting everyone.Jiang You noticed that there was a little greenery not far away, and finally there was a little smile on his face.

But at this moment, everyone suddenly stopped their movements, staring up in a daze.

Because they saw the leader of this battlefield, Shuo Changfeng, who had already become a half-step immortal, actually walked into the air step by step, and stopped when he was a hundred feet away from the ground.

With his back to the world, he was floating in mid-air, maintaining a posture of looking up to the sky.

Everyone knew that he was not grateful to God - his back was so desolate and lonely, and the aura around him was so strong and restrained!

At this moment, most people realized what Shuo Changfeng wanted to do.Countless people's eyes flickered slightly, and countless people's throats choked, but they couldn't say a single word to stop them.

They all heard Shuo Changfeng's suppressed and hoarse voice:

"Dare to ask God, is there an immortal?"

Dare to ask the sky - is there a fairy? !

8000 years ago, natural disasters suddenly changed, the mainland of Kyushu was torn apart, and Kunlun and the road to heaven disappeared without a trace... Since then, no mortal in this cultivation world has ascended to immortality!Even someone as powerful as Shuo Changfeng who has reached half-step immortality is bound by the laws of the mortal world: once his lifespan expires in 2000, even if he is dying and trying everything he can, he will not be able to defeat the rules of reincarnation...

——For 2000 years, the years of cultivation are just a big dream!

Why do you cultivate, why do you cultivate? !

Shuo Changfeng's voice suddenly became high, as if a burst of thunder had exploded in his ears, and the whole land was shaking accordingly: "If there are immortals, then where are the immortals, where are the gods - where is the way of heaven?!"

If there were immortals, why would the mainland of Kyushu be torn apart?

If there are immortals, why not let mortals continue to become immortals?

If there are immortals, why would they allow the demons to invade the human world?

……

Why do you look down on the misery of all living beings from above? !

"But if there is no... all living beings, I will wait for a lifetime of hard work, struggling and suffering... what's the point?!"

If the so-called immortality is just a scam woven by heaven, then what is the point of so many monks who have gone through a lifetime of hard work and have no hope in the end? !

Could it be that this whole life is nothing but a never-ending deception woven by the Dao of Heaven? !

Shuo Changfeng took a deep breath, and suddenly his whole body was like a sharp knife, and he rushed up fiercely!

——He wants to break through the barrier of immortality, he wants to break through this unattainable sky, he wants to break through the curse that mortals cannot become immortals!

Shuo Changfeng mobilized all his strength.

The surrounding spiritual energy was suddenly swept away, and the terrifying power enough to destroy Xiao Yuanzhou was completely gathered in Shuo Changfeng's body.Using such power on this middle-level continent, Shuo Changfeng received the backlash from the heavens in the next moment: the aura in his body was leaking out at a terrifying speed!

But Shuo Changfeng was desperate.

He rushed up suddenly, the speed was so fast that his whole body was like a shining star, dazzling and gorgeous!

Everyone involuntarily tightened their pupils, staring at Shuo Changfeng, who was already like a black dot, and completely held their breath.

They clenched their fists tightly, their hearts were pounding, and they couldn't help but whisper "break through it" in a low voice, break through that layer of shackles, and soar into immortals!They prayed for Shuo Changfeng, hoping that he could break through this bondage and ascend to immortality; but why were they not praying for themselves, praying for the pity of the gods and gods, so as to escape from the sea of ​​suffering? !

Everyone's hearts followed him to the sky!

... But Shuo Changfeng's speed became slower and slower, and his light became dimmer.Until he rushed to a certain place, and finally touched the invisible barrier - only heard the deep sound of "bang" from the sky, Shuo Changfeng seemed to be hit hard by an invisible hammer, and his whole body crashed With a tremor, he quickly fell down!

... He didn't succeed, he failed.

Someone in the crowd rushed up and caught his falling figure.

Then he was placed on a clean piece of land.Everyone has discovered that his appearance can no longer maintain the original vigor, his black and thick hair has become thin and gray in an instant, his strong body has dried up quickly, and there is a rotten smell on his body...

The five declines of heaven and man.His lifespan is about to end.

But he didn't care about that.

His gaze was still fixed on that piece of sky high above, that fairyland that he could not touch in his whole life.

He never succumbed to this dark and lightless battlefield, never succumbed to the cruel and terrifying alien power...but he had to succumb to the shackles of heaven, and to the arrangement of fate.

His vision gradually dimmed.

"I became an immortal at the age of ten, and it has been 130 years since I became an immortal at half a step..."

"The world calls me an 'immortal', but I know that an immortal like me...compared to a real immortal...is like cloud and mud..."

"...I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!..."

He was still muttering to himself: "I'm not reconciled..."

But what's the use of not being reconciled?He finally closed his eyes slowly and never opened them again.

The crowd was silent for a long time.After a long time, there was a little weeping sound, which spread and spread.Gradually, it became a weeping and mourning.

Jiang You didn't step forward.

He looked up at the vast expanse of sky.The breeze is slightly drunk, and even if the flames of war invade it, it cannot easily overturn its blue color that is not stained with dust.

But the reason why he was sent back to the Battle of Sealing Demons, as well as the truth hidden behind this sky, finally gradually surfaced.

Thousands of years ago, natural disasters suddenly changed, the earth split, and even the space appeared countless cracks.After that, Kunlun and the road to heaven disappeared, and the mortal powers could no longer become immortals.And the demons also successfully crossed the gap and reached the human world, vying for Kyushu.

At the beginning of the natural disaster, God sent down the "son of the way of heaven" to protect the human race through the catastrophe, just to say that the way of heaven has not given up on human beings.However, it is rumored that the gods who saved the common people countless times were indifferent and watched with cold eyes ten thousand years ago.

This is obviously contradictory to their self-proclaimed impartiality.

Why?

Why is the high fairy world completely cut off from Kyushu, why is Kyushu torn apart, and why are the demons exiled under the abyss intact?

Jiang You finally had a vague answer in his mind.

——Did the natural disasters ten thousand years ago start from the fairyland?It quickly overturned the entire fairy world, making the immortals overwhelmed.And the aftermath of the natural disaster, from the Tianzhu and the road to the sky, swept down the entire Kyushu? !

... Heaven has never given up on human beings.

But now, the son of Tiandao disappeared for unknown reasons, and Tiandao is powerless.

Now, only human beings can save human beings.

At this moment, the thick voice that once disappeared finally resounded in Jiang You's mind again:

"You understand, Jiang You.

"The Supreme Being forgets feelings, forgets feelings and is fair. In front of the world and the common people, only by forgetting personal feelings, not being moved by emotions, not being disturbed by emotions, can one be truly impartial and selfless, with boundless love.

"Jiang You, you used to be afraid of all the pain and injustice that you and Ming Yan endured, and even subconsciously wanted to escape from them. But what you want to escape will eventually be faced, and you never got rid of it from the beginning.

"In addition to you, there are more people in the world who have undergone tests of varying degrees. But these are not the inhumane and unfair ways of heaven that people in the world think. On the contrary, the way of heaven treats everyone equally—what kind of test do you bear? If you have good luck, you have to bear equal responsibilities; whatever responsibility you bear, you also bear the corresponding luck. And this is the most basic rule of the way of heaven.

"In the end, the energy of the Tianchi that keeps you here is about to run out. You will soon have to leave and return to the place where you really should be."

Yan An stared at him behind him.

For some reason, Jiang You's back actually gave him the illusion that the person in front of him was about to ride the wind, so he couldn't help calling: "Master..."

Jiang You looked back at him.

In the past 70 years, the child has fully grown into a gentle and elegant youth.It also completely overlapped with the fuzzy phantom in Jiang You's memory.

He saw the uncontrollable sadness on Yan An's face.

Although at first he didn't want to worship Venerable Shuo as his teacher, after all these years, the grievances in Yan An's heart have long been erased.Instead, respect and love for Venerable Shuo.

But now, he can only watch the person he respected fall silently... the pain in his heart is almost beyond words.

Jiang You looked at him, but didn't speak.

He suddenly stretched out his arms and took Yan An into his arms.

As the voice said, even if he wakes up, he still has no way to completely detach himself.Because this is Ming Yan's past life... the past life of the person he wanted to protect no matter what.

He said in his heart: "Do you have a way to erase all the memories about me in Yan An's mind?"

"Okay," said the voice in his heart, "but you should know that this secret method will be invalid after 200 years."

Jiang You closed his eyes.

"...Let's leave it at that." Since it can't be changed, let's ease Yan An's pain.

Jiang You looked at Yan An and smiled.

He reached out and took off the thousand faces, revealing his own handsome face.

Then, handed Qianmian to Yan An.

Seeing the persistent obsession in Yan An's eyes, he finally stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yan An's Qingjun cheek: "I should go, Yan An."

Yan An's pupils tightened.

He tightly grasped Jiang You's hand caressing his face, panicked all over his face: "Why?... You said you would stay with me for 200 years, why are you leaving now that it's only worth 70 years?... ...No, you can't go, you can't go!"

Jiang You did not respond.

Let Yan An hold him tightly, as if wanting to embed him in his arms, never to be separated.

But there is no one in this world who can prevent such a parting.

There was a slight light on Jiang You's body.

After half an hour.

Yan An stood alone behind, his mind blank.

He touched his wet cheek, staring blankly at the tears in his palm.

He suddenly couldn't remember why he was standing here, and why... He actually felt that there should be someone standing in front of him?

that person……

"Yan An, why aren't you here yet?" Ming Xiurui turned around and called Yan An with a frown.When his eyes fell on the mask in his hand, he asked casually, "Where did you get the mask?"

Where is the mask?

Yan An bowed his head, the confusion and loss in his heart flashed away, but he no longer hesitated, he just threw Qianmian into the ring and walked towards the crowd.

Jiang You opened his eyes.

He was surrounded by clear water full of aura, and only then did he realize that he was lying under the pool.Combined with what the voice said, it seems that this is the fairy pond that he and Ming Yan escaped with the help of Shanhe Shejitu.

Then Ming Yan... With a "crash", Jiang You suddenly straightened up from the water, and met a line of sight coming from the edge of the pool.

Jiang You was stunned.

——In front of him, squatting a small, gray and white kitten, with a small round bead glowing in its mouth, staring at him curiously.

"..." Jiang You wiped off the drops of water on his face, hesitantly and tentatively called out, "...Ming Yan?"

The kitten tilted its head, let out a "meow", and the ball dropped from its mouth.Gulu Gulu, rolled into the pool where Jiang You was.

The kitten stared wide-eyed at the disappearing Yuanzhu, then looked at Jiang You in disbelief, "Meow!" What are you looking at!Hurry up and get me a toy!

Jiang You: "..."

The author has something to say: I don't know how to write anything about war, so I just fooled it!How sincere I am! ! !

My meow decided to let you guys see which one of his segregation forms is the cutest, meow!
