The sword rises

Chapter 1796

Chapter [-]

The old man really turned into a bad old man in the secular world. He got up to wash up, and then wore a plain dress, with his trousers rolled up to his ankles.

Then, the old man picked up a muddy hoe on the side of the thatched hut, and carried it on his shoulder: "Stinky boy, go to hoe the ground and grow vegetables with grandpa."

"Master, are you serious?"

Seeing the old man's attire, Gu Hengsheng said in surprise.

"Nonsense, old man, I have lived like this for thousands of years,"

The old man glared at Gu Hengsheng, and forced Gu Hengsheng to help him with the work: "You kid, help me with the work first, and later build a thatched house for you, so that there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain at night. "

"Okay, I will listen to you."

Gu Hengsheng hasn't fulfilled his filial piety for thousands of years, now that he's back, let the old man make trouble!As long as his father is safe and sound, Gu Hengsheng will be satisfied.

So, Emperor Fusheng, who was above the nine heavens, changed into a gray coarse sackcloth, holding a hoe in his hand, and went to work in the fields with the old man.

The second uncle, Gu Youmo, was not idle, and went to the mountain to collect materials for building a house.After all, Gu Hengsheng is his nephew, so he can't let Gu Hengsheng have no place to stay at night.

More importantly, if Gu Hengsheng's thatched hut was not built for a day, the second uncle could only sleep in the same room as the old man, how uncomfortable it is!
Li Qiurou was very obedient and went to pick vegetables in the nearby fields with his aunt, chatting about the past, talking and laughing.

"Stinky boy, old man, I heard that the child of you and girl Rou is now famous. It's amazing! It's a pity that the old man can't see my great-grandson with his own eyes."

The old man was hoeing the ground while talking, feeling very regretful.

"That child was born extraordinary, and his life was full of disasters. In fact, he also wanted to see you grow old, but he was afraid of attracting disasters."

Gu Hengsheng sighed softly. If he had a choice, he would rather his child be an ordinary person and not have to shoulder so many responsibilities.

However, since Gu Xiujie is the emperor's son, he is doomed to be born high and high, and he also needs to bear corresponding responsibilities.

"That kid's name is Xiu Jie!"

Although the old man lived in seclusion here and never came out, the younger generation of the clan would occasionally come to tell him what happened outside.

"Well, his name is Gu Xiujie." Gu Hengsheng temporarily put down what he was doing, and chuckled, "The name of the child was chosen by my elder brother."

"Very good name." The old man smiled kindly: "If I, a bad old man, have a chance in the future, I will have to meet the gentlemen of Fusheng Tomb with my own eyes."

"Definitely." Gu Hengsheng believed that his brothers and sisters definitely wanted to see his relatives.

"I've been digging this land for thousands of years. After a long time, I have feelings for it."

The old man threw a few vegetable seeds into the pit, and gently stroked the land.

"Grandpa, your old life was pretty good, and I am looking forward to it."

Gu Hengsheng felt that this simple life was also very good, away from the intrigue in the world, and enjoy the years to come in peace.

"It depends on whether you can survive." The old man Gu Cang was like an old man, sweating profusely: "When your uncle first came, he often wanted to use his cultivation to be lazy. I was beaten by the old man a few times. From now on, he will gradually become more honest. Up to now, your second uncle has already immersed himself in this kind of life, which has a special flavor."

"Old man, have you really been eating and drinking, and don't plan to pay attention to the affairs of the outside world?"

Gu Hengsheng suddenly thought that his level of state of mind was not as good as that of his old man. Is this just an illusion?

"The outside world has nothing to do with the old man."

The old man sat directly on the ground, took a deep look at Gu Hengsheng, and looked back at the past years: "Thinking back in the past, I have been on the battlefield for more than [-] years, and I ruled the roost with gold and iron horses. Under one person, above ten thousand people. Later, after experiencing many hardships, the old man realized that what he most yearns for is this kind of peaceful life. Isn’t it a blessing to be an ordinary person?”

"If you don't have enough strength, ordinary people can't even protect themselves and the people they care about, how can they get the life they want?"

Gu Hengsheng was silent for a long time, looked at the old man, and asked.

"What do people... live for? And why do they die?"

For thousands of years, the old man has been thinking about this problem.Why did he come to this world? Since he came empty-handed, he also left empty-handed.So, what's the point of him coming into this world?
Sometimes the old man thinks that even if the world is really destroyed, he will not have the slightest fear and anxiety, and even accept it with a flat face.

"If the old man does not have enough strength, he is bullied, beaten, used, and finally dies tragically, then it is also the cause and effect of the old man himself. In this world, there are always a large number of people living at the bottom, and they all have their own beliefs and lives. Only with the motivation to go down can we grit our teeth and hold on."

"The meaning of the old man's life now is to live this ordinary life. As for other responsibilities and interests, it has nothing to do with the old man."

The old man had a good rest and began to continue hoeing.

Gu Hengsheng remained silent, without saying a word, and fell into deep thought.What the old man said touched Gu Hengsheng's heart.

The old man continued to do farm work, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "It's still early, let's go for a walk!"

"Old man, what do you mean by that?"

Gu Hengsheng asked subconsciously.

"There is still a shadow of her in your heart. You can either marry her back, or you can explain it clearly. Don't keep suppressing it in your heart. It's not good for a long time."

The old man glanced at Gu Hengsheng, as if he had seen through Gu Hengsheng's heart.

Immediately, Gu Hengsheng knew who the old man was talking about.

Originally, Gu Hengsheng was still hesitating whether to go and see that person.However, Gu Hengsheng didn't want to disrupt that person's rhythm of life because of his appearance, which would be unfair to Li Qiurou.

"Go! No food will be left for you at night, the old man will make it clear to Rou Yatou."

The old man waved his hand to tell Gu Hengsheng not to be so blah blah blah.

Gu Hengsheng bowed to the old man, put down the hoe in his hand, and walked forward.According to what the old man said, Gu Hengsheng didn't intend to use his cultivation here.

After leaving this quiet place, Gu Hengsheng only took ten miles and leisurely came to the bustling streets of the city.

Relying on his memory, Gu Hengsheng saw the attic not far away.
