Chapter 45: Immortal, Behind the Scenes
Chapter 45: Immortal, Behind the Scenes
"Where has my father-in-law been for the past six months?"
In the courtyard, flowers cascaded in profusion.
Gu Changsheng sat across from Mu Luoxian, at a stone table under a tree, with a jar of old wine and a few side dishes.
"I've been busy, and I also visited a few old friends along the way," Mu Luoxian said, a smile playing in his eyes with a meaningful tone.
Glancing at him, Gu Changsheng contemplated asking:
"Are your friends reliable?"
As a man, he expressed his understanding of Mu Luoxian.
Though he is old, his heart remains youthful.
A man is a teenager until he dies!
Gu Changsheng thought to himself, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. He held a duck leg in his hand, occasionally taking bites, while he listened to the conversation between Mu Luoxian and Mu Wan.
"Is he good to you?" Mu Luoxian asked Mu Wan.
"Yeah." Mu Wan nodded her head, and a beautiful smile appeared on her cold face at this time:
"My husband has always been very good to me."
"I'm glad to hear that," Mu Luoxian said, taking a sip of wine.
"If he ever dares to bully you, just let me know. I'll take care of him," he added.
Gu Changsheng thought to himself, "..."
Does he really think I can't hear him?
He's saying this to me, right?
He must be, right?
...
Time flies.
In the first few years, Gu Changsheng and Mu Wan lived in Tianshui City. Although their lives were a bit mundane, they were generally very content and happy.
Ordinary is also a kind of happiness.
Over the past few years, Friendly Wine Shop has become more and more prosperous.
Although the opening time is always very capricious.
But the reputation is getting bigger and bigger.
At that time, some people said that there are three kinds of wine in the world, Youjia, Hongniang, and Zuixian.
The other two kinds of wine are famous in Xuanguo.
It can be seen that he has been working hard on "Youjia Wine" for hundreds of years.
It is already a rare fine wine in the world.
Feiendly Wine Shop, which is just a casual plaything, can squeeze into the top three of Xuanguo's wine industry!
When he was free, Gu Changsheng would always take Mu Wan to go out of the city for an outing.
Later, he simply left Tianshui City for a while.
Gradually, he began to take her to travel around the world.
Time flies.
During the travel, he would only come back to Tianshui City from time to time.
As time passed slowly, each time he returned, Gu Changsheng noticed Mu Luoxian's graying temples, which were becoming increasingly aged.
The passage of time was well reflected in him.
In a blink of an eye.
Seventeen years had passed since the first time he went out to travel.
Gu Changsheng had taken Mu Wan to the North Sea to behold its magnificence: stretching thousands of miles, it seemed to cover the sky and sun, with waves surging endlessly.
He also spent a few years living on the beach by the sea.
It can be said that facing the sea, spring brings warmth and flowers bloom beautifully.
He had visited the snow-capped mountains in the southern region.
He had witnessed the snow-capped and stunning scenery.
But the air there was thin and chilly.
He had been to the high mountain plains.
He had seen thousands of horses galloping and herds of cattle and sheep.
What he saw was all boundless and endless plains.
He had observed the sunset and the glow of dusk blending together, painting the sky and the earth in the same hue.
Once, on a high mountain, they nestled in each other's arms, counting the sunset and the migrating geese, counting the stars in the night sky, and conversing about everything until the dawn of the next day.
Both of them knew that this might be the last time they would go out like this.
Mu Luoxian is growing older with each passing year, and I'm afraid that his time may come in a few years.
As his children, it's our duty to be filial to him.
...
Until this day.
"Hahaha..."
"Cang Yuzi, you can't escape!"
Two people flew away on swords.
From beginning to end, they never looked at the two mortals on the ground.
Gu Changsheng stared at the figures of one chasing and the other fleeing, flying on swords.
He was absent-minded for a long time, and then he suddenly realized, as if waking up from a dream.
"Haha, haha..."
After a long time, Gu Changsheng suddenly laughed.
He even laughed so hard that he bent over and cried.
The first laugh was for his recklessness, the second laugh was for his lack of wisdom, and the third laugh was for his ignorance.
It turned out that this world was actually a world of immortal cultivation!
"Gu Changsheng, Gu Changsheng..."
If he were truly just an ordinary mortal, he wouldn't realize that immortal cultivators exist.
He might never have known throughout his entire life that there is indeed a world of immortal cultivation in existence.
How sad it would be.
But, fortunately, he was immortal.
It's not too late to know now!
Talking about being invincible in the world, or feeling as lonely as snow, is akin to sitting in a well and looking at the sky. It's like claiming that a country is invincible simply because it holds the most power in a village.
...
"So, my wife, you are a descendant of the Chu State? And a descendant of an immortal?!"
After learning the truth, Gu Changsheng was greatly shocked.
Therefore, the change of dynasties in the world is just a word from an immortal.
When an immortal dies, a country will be destroyed.
When an immortal is born, a new dynasty will be established.
When one person achieves enlightenment, all his family members will rise to heaven. This is the case.
However, there should not be many immortals of this level in the world of immortal cultivation.
It was the case with the Chu Kingdom in the past, and it is still the case with the Xuan Kingdom now.
But Mu Wan actually doesn't know much about the world of immortal cultivators.
The Chu Kingdom has been gone for more than a hundred years.
The ancestor of the Mu family has been dead for almost two hundred years.
She only has a vague understanding of this.
She only knows that the dozens of countries in the Xuan Kingdom now seem to have always belonged to a sect of immortal cultivation for thousands of years.
"What the hell?" Gu Changsheng looked at her in a daze.
Suddenly, he was left speechless for a moment.
Sister Mu's long legs are really thick! Thicker than he thought before!!
Perhaps Mu Wan's great-grandfather was Emperor Anping!
Maybe he was not a tyrant.
But he knew in his heart that no matter how hard he worked,
the Chu Kingdom was destined to perish.
In a mortal country, the fate of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people, rests solely in the hands of these immortals.
Immortals operate behind the scenes.
They watch the ups and downs of the human world, and even dominate the rise and fall of human dynasties.
"Gee!"
Gu Changsheng and Mu Wan were galloping on horseback.
"Father-in-law, here comes your son-in-law!"
He had never risked his life for anyone like this before.
And it was for a man.
The journey that originally would have taken more than a month was completed in just half that time due to Gu Changsheng's desperate rush back to Tianshui City.
...
Mu family, library.
Gu Changsheng used to visit this place often.
But it was completely empty and unaware of the treasure.
The most precious thing in the Mu family is not actually some innate method.
It's the cultivation of the immortal family!
Hunyuan Five Elements.
Layer by layer, a total of nine layers.
Gu Changsheng used to think that this was just a book of internal practice.
But he didn't expect that this was actually the cultivation method of an immortal cultivator.
And it is a complete basic practice of Qi training.
As long as a person has spiritual roots, he can use it to practice.
Thus, he embarked on the road to immortality.
Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged and closed his eyes slightly according to what the book said.
After a long time, my heart became as calm as water, and my qi sank into my dantian.
The world seemed completely still at this moment, when suddenly, a faint hint of bright colors appeared.
