Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 880 An unexpected encounter
Sitting at the desk under the ancient tree, Yi Shuyuan recorded not only what had happened, but also what was happening, and even what might happen.

At this moment, he wrote about the birth of a hero in Dayan's hometown. The words fell casually, and between the lines there was an aura of murderous intent like that of iron horses and swords, which woke up Qi Zhongbin, who was sitting next to him and was originally calm.

As Yi Shuyuan's pen stroked, he felt something in his heart, as if what he saw at this moment was a battlefield, and the pen in his hand had become a big gun, with the moving tip of the pen like a dancing edge.
"woo"

The body of a huge black spear was danced in an arc, and when the tough spear shaft was straightened, the tip of the spear left an afterimage. The whistling sound caused by the gun flower seemed unique in the battlefield filled with shouts and screams.

"puff"

The sharp spear swept across, directly separating the head and body of the enemy in front of it. As the warhorse galloped past, the spear drew another trajectory and steadily picked up the head that had just been chopped off on the tip of the spear.

"The enemy commander is dead—"

The roar resounded throughout the battlefield, and completely crushed the enemy's morale.
Qi Zhongbin also stood up and walked to the table, just looking at the contents of the book, as if he also felt that scene.

"How can the world's disputes ever end?"

"There is no end to the disputes in the world."

Yi Shuyuan replied, and the pen in his hand left the page and turned to another place, and continued writing. However, this time he was not simply writing a story, it was more like he was deducing something.

Qi Zhongbin was just watching from behind, and after a while he felt his mind distracted, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Master, have you figured out where the Tiandou Pill has gone?"

This was Qi Zhongbin's feeling after reading the book, and Yi Shuyuan also deduced this feeling.

"What does it matter if you know it? It can no longer be considered a pill. Just let it be."

This is the Tiandou Pill. Previously, the evil dragon Hongye wanted to use this pill to overturn the situation in the four seas. From the dragon clan's understanding of the importance of this pill and the attitude of the three sea dragon kings from the east, north and west, we know that this is really possible.

This is Tiandou Pill, named after Tiandou, which can achieve the power of fighting against the sky.
Even Qi Zhongbin felt somewhat regretful in his heart, but since his master had said so, he said no more.

"This is the Tiandou Pill, ah!"

Hui Mian said what Qi Zhongbin didn't say, but Hui Mian also just said "regret".

Just as the gentleman said, it can no longer be considered a pill. The pill that has escaped the fate of being eaten several times has become a spiritual object between heaven and earth, and it is not easy for them to wipe it out.

But when they looked at the written words written by Yi Shuyuan again, they seemed to become mysterious. Hui Mian and Qi Zhongbin felt their eyes sore and they even felt that the light was flickering.

"No need to stay here to watch over you sir, we can go for a walk."

Hui Mian said this, jumped onto Qi Zhongbin's shoulder and patted him with his tail. The latter nodded and walked outside.

Unconsciously, as Qi Zhongbin's footsteps extended, the man and the mink discovered that ice crystals were gradually growing on the ground. There was a creaking sound under their feet, and it seemed as if a world of ice and snow appeared before their eyes from nothing to something and from virtual to real.

It turned out to be the season of ice and snow, but I didn't notice it just now. The flashing light just now was actually the sunrise and sunset, and this moment was not the winter at the beginning of the second year of Jiande in Dayong, but the winter at the end of the third year of Jiande.

Qi Zhongbin paused, looked over his shoulder, and exchanged glances with the little mink who turned around. Then both he and the mink looked back and saw that the ancient tree was covered with snow, and the branches were filled with snow, but Yi Shuyuan was not under the tree.

After a long while, Hui Mian let out a laugh.

"We've already come out, what's there to regret? You and I can't compare to you, sir. Even if we can gain some enlightenment there, it's better to wander around in the world. Walk, walk, walk. We've been hungry for two years!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Qi Zhongbin smiled. Senior Hui was still very free and easy.
-
On a cold winter day, in Xihe Village, Yuanjiang County, Dayongyue Prefecture, the hall of the Yi family mansion was very lively.

During this year's Spring Festival, due to the strong request of old grandfather Yi Abao and great grandmother Lu Junling, many people in the Yi family rushed back before the New Year, including sons, grandsons, and even great-grandsons, and even married daughters brought their grandchildren and great-grandchildren to the old house of the Yi family.

There were three large round tables in the Yi family's living room to seat everyone. The Yi family could be said to have truly expanded. The extremely old man of the Yi family, Yi Abao, was still very energetic today, and even his back was not hunched at all.

The food in the room was steaming and there was a heater. Perhaps it was a little stuffy, so Yi Abao got up and walked to the door, opening it a crack.

As the cool air outside poured in, one could also see the white snow in the distant yard and the snowflakes falling from the sky.

A Bao turned his head and looked towards the center of the hall. Lu Junling, who was already 80 years old, had a rosy complexion and was talking to her youngest great-grandson with a smile on her face. She was holding a cradle of her great-grandson in her arms.

But in A Bao's eyes, Lu Junling's energy and blood were already declining and her fate was bleak.

Over the past few years, A Bao was actually aware that he had gradually embarked on a path different from the mundane world, but he had thought of many ways, but was unable to completely delay Lu Junling's decline.

It would be nice if Grandpa were here.
Thinking of this, another idea flashed through A Bao's mind.

After a long time, the Yi family's banquet was over. The women and servants cleaned up the dishes together, while the children went outside to set off firecrackers.

Amid the sound of "crackling", Yi Abao put a thick fur coat on Lu Junling, and then helped him to the bedroom. Neither of them needed any extra help from others.

But when they reached the bedroom door, a group of children ran over.

"Grandpa", "grandfather", "great-grandfather".
Although the children may be one generation apart in seniority, they are almost the same age. They run over shouting and clamoring to get Yi Abao to agree to buy firecrackers, because the adults in front of them have coaxed them into saying that they can only buy them with the old man's consent.

After agreeing verbally and dealing with the children amid laughter, A Bao helped Lu Junling into the house and lay down on a recliner first.

As if she was tired, Lu Junling fell asleep after lying down for a while, but she woke up quickly after a while. She looked around and felt relieved when she saw Abao sitting there.

"Sometimes I feel that one day you will suddenly disappear," Lu Junling murmured. It seemed like a dream, but also like she was awake. A Bao smiled and grabbed Lu Junling's hand.

"How could that be? By the way, Jun Ling, take another look at Uncle's handwriting and try again, okay?"

Lu Junling glanced at the scroll on the table over there and waved her other hand.

"No, no, I feel dizzy after watching it for too long, and I need you to massage me for a while before I feel better. We are both old."

Po nodded and didn't force it, but changed the subject.

"You know the wax hawthorn in our shrine, right?"

"Oh, is that the one you said had the elixir?"

Lu Junling opened her eyes and a smile appeared on her lips. A Bao nodded and a smile also appeared on his face.

"Yes, that's it! Why don't you try it? Maybe you can become an immortal after eating it."

Lu Junling smiled.

"It may be okay if you eat it, but it definitely won't work if I eat it!"

"why?"

A Bao asked in a low voice, and Lu Junling laughed so hard that her body shook.

"You believe it's just a joke. You should go to town and buy some firecrackers for the children while it's still light. It's New Year's Day, so make their wishes come true."

Abao sat for a while, then stood up and left the house at his wife's urging.

After Abao left, Lu Junling, who was sitting on the recliner, looked at the scroll on the table again. She had always been smart and was the closest person to her husband, so how could she not notice the changes in her husband over the years?

"It may be okay for you to eat it, but it will definitely not work for me."

After a long silence, Lu Junling murmured again. This was the truth she understood after watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" countless times over the years.

Outside the door, Yi Abao actually didn't leave. He just stood with his back against the wall. Hearing the murmurs from inside, he stood there for a long time until he felt that it was beginning to dark and it would be too late if he didn't go to buy firecrackers.

When Abao went out, he was surrounded by many children, who went to buy firecrackers together amid cheers.

All the shops in Xihe Town are closed at this time, but for the sake of the old man of the Yi family, naturally any shop may be opened for them for a short period of time.

The children were overjoyed when they got the firecrackers, and the servants who came with them played with them. Anyway, the security in the town was very good, and the sound of firecrackers attracted many children in the town to come and play.

Yi Abao was walking alone in the town, not in a hurry to go home. Unknowingly, he came to the bank of the West River and walked onto the bridge. He looked across the bridge in a trance, as if he saw his great uncle and father fishing there together.

The vision became more blurred, and it seemed as if the fields in front of me had turned into the fields of the past, where my grandfather was turning the soil and my father was being scolded.
Suddenly, A Bao seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked to one side. A man with a head full of white hair walked out from the entrance of the alley over there. He seemed to be an old man, but his figure was straight and his steps were steady. He also walked onto the bridge.

"Xihe Town is no longer the Xihe Village of the past. Not even a trace of the old people remains."

The visitor said this, but his tone was not regretful. He had a smile on his face and bowed to Abao.

"Hello, Master Yi!"

"Who is this old gentleman?"

When Yi Abao asked this, the visitor smiled and only said a name.

"I am old Mai Lingfei!"

"Mai Lingfei, the hero!"

A Bao was surprised. How old would Mai be if he was still alive?

"Why, it doesn't look like it?"

Mai Lingfei laughed, while Yi Abao shook his head.

"I dare not. Hero Mai is indeed an extraordinary person. You came here to look for Grandpa, but it's a pity that Grandpa's whereabouts are elusive, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him."

"Old Master, please don't embarrass me. Just call me an equal. I'm just passing by looking for someone. It would be great if I could meet you, but it's okay if I can't. We'll meet again if we're destined to!"

"Looking for someone?"

A Bao was surprised for a moment, and A Fei nodded with a smile. Without waiting for the former to ask more questions, he told many things about the past in a casual chat like a meeting between good friends, and added one more sentence at the end.

“I just passed by and didn’t want to show up, but I saw Master Yi’s melancholy look, which looked like someone!”

Yi Abao was still slightly fascinated by the story told by A Fei. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Like who?"

"Like me in the past! Hahahaha. Alright I won't bother Master Yi anymore. Mai Lingfei is leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Fei had already walked to the other side of the bridge. His steps were not fast, but his figure quickly disappeared in the falling snow.
