C6 (2/2)

”Eh …” In a foreign land, it wasn't easy to meet a fellow student of the same grade. My heart was overjoyed as I hurriedly took the plate and said, ”Fugui has just arrived. I don't know your name, but there are many rules here.”

Seeing that I did not put on airs, the little boy was relieved, but he still hesitated and said, ”I am called Chen Ah Hu, but I am only a lowly outer disciple of the Sky Sect. I am responsible for sending some fruits every day.”

Speaking of fruits, I was surprised. I didn't recognize any of these fruits, so I humbly asked for advice. ”Erm, I don't recognize any of these fruits. Can you tell me more about them?”

Hearing my words, Chen Ah Hu also laughed, as if he was proud of himself.

”Speaking of this fruit, I am very clear about it! Look, this yellow-skinned fruit is called the autumn orchid fruit, eating it can provide some spiritual energy to the body and help strengthen one's body, and this azure-red half-moon fruit is also called the Crescent Moon Fruit, it can recover one's strength, ordinary people can eat it for a day and not eat it for a day, and here … ”

This conversation lasted for more than half an hour. The gap between the two gradually filled as they became friends that could talk about anything. I slowly came to understand from his mouth that he came here on his own accord. He originally wanted to be a chef, but due to his spiritual roots, he was forcefully captured more than two years ago.

Of course, I'm also curious why this immortal gate would act like a bandit to take in disciples. Ah Hu only said that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had become thinner, and there were fewer and fewer people with Spiritual Roots.

There are many disciples in each mountain, and once the cultivation has met the requirements set by the Peak Master, they can leave the mountain for a few years to gain experience, or even go out for a few years. But the seventh mountain is not good, because Qiu Xi has cultivated the heartless path, so unless he has permission, we cannot go down the mountain, but it is extremely difficult to get approval from him.

I suddenly recalled that Qiu Hong said that he never returned home after twenty years. Could it be that I will have to wait for dozens of years?

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Chen Ah Hu quickly said goodbye. These outer sect disciples have a lot of chores to do every day, unlike me, who was called in by the elders, but I can't be happy no matter how I look at it.

When night falls, I walked out of the door and looked up at the night sky. The Sky Sect does not allow weak disciples like us to run around, not to mention that I am still just a mortal.

It was unknown if the sky was exceptionally clear tonight, or if this immortal Blessed Land was originally like this. The vast sky of stars lit up the land. I can't help but think of the past. Father and mother hugged me together with several stars in the sky. At that time, I was still naively asking if there is a legendary immortal living on top of the stars. I don't know what Mom and Dad are doing right now. Do you miss me, does Mom have a weak body, and will you cry until you pass out again, and Little Fatty at the village entrance, is he holding candy and not being able to hear the story, or is he still being lectured by his mother? Where's Mister, are you still suffering from that painful memory, and Little Yu, did you change her name with her dog … I don't know when the tears will fall onto the ground, but I didn't notice it. I was just lost in my thoughts and drifted back to my hometown I don't know which way I came from … ” ”Rich son, come in …”

Grandpa Sun's voice! Why is Grandpa Sun here?

I was stunned for a moment. Then I turned around and ran back into the house.

Returning to the room, I saw Grandpa Sun standing by the bed, smiling at me.

”Are you homesick …”

I nodded.

”Sigh, this is fate. It can't be changed.” Grandpa Sun shook his head. No need to think about home, your parents and the villagers, I have already erased their memories. ”

Hearing that the most important person in my life has completely forgotten about me, for a moment, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The corners of my mouth twitch, but tears are already flowing down.

”I don't have time left …” Grandpa Sun continued, his voice full of exhaustion and helplessness, ”In the future, you have to properly leave your life.”

What do you mean? It sounded like his last words!

Seeing my surprised face, Grandpa Sun smiled. ”I should have died a long time ago. I just waited until now.”

Immortal, isn't Immortals immortal? How could Grandpa Sun die?!

I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

”In the future, perhaps one day, you will understand.”

Grandpa Sun sighed. His eyes were filled with kindness as he looked at me. ”Perhaps you hate me. I was the one who pulled you into this world.”

Hatred? I don't hate it anymore. If hate could reduce my pain, I wouldn't be in such pain.

”Rich son.” Grandpa Sun raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the window. He lightly smiled, and traces of flames came out from his body.

”Fire!” It's on fire! ” Looking at Grandpa Sun's entire body covered in fire, I was terrified, but there was nothing I could do.

But on Grandpa Sun's face, there was relief and an expression of enjoyment. Seeing him in such a state, I panicked and stood rooted to the spot.

”Keep walking. We, will meet again …”

The fire was extinguished very quickly. Grandpa Sun was burnt away, leaving behind a fist-sized ball of light that floated in the air. Everything that happened today gave me a shock that numbed me and made my heart fall into chaos. Grandpa Sun is dead. Actually, I didn't really hate him when he died.

Trembling, I wanted to touch the ball of light with my fingertip, but the ball of light moved extremely quickly from my arm to my head. I only felt an explosion in my head.
