Chapter 421 A Family of Three

In the early morning, the sun shines over the mountains and sprinkles on the earth. The dew reflects the crystal gold, like jewels, slowly evaporating and finally disappearing.

Li An sat in the mountains, with a bonfire burning in front of him, and two crocodiles were roasted golden.

Most of the creatures in the Tenth Heaven Realm have been taken away by the Heaven Court, but there are also a few who hid because of the nature of wild beasts when the Heaven Court was searching for wild creatures in the mountains, and they have remained until now.

Otherwise, if Li An wanted to find some food, he would have to run a long way to the Ninth Heaven Realm.

Li An didn't know when the war would break out. He fell into a bored wait, practicing silently, feeling the slow evolution of the mysterious substance in the grinding wheel of life and death in his body, watching the sun rise and fall every day, watching the dew condense and evaporate.

His heart unexpectedly gained a kind of peace, and he experienced a lot from this boring and boring time.

Take a bite of crocodile meat, let the fat wander in your mouth, and feel the deliciousness of this world.

Today is another beautiful day.

…

Today is another beautiful day.

To Shangguan Shengxian, today is a special day.

Early in the morning, she left home with a bamboo basket and ordinary linen clothes. Before leaving, Xiao Changqing insisted on sticking to her and going out with her. Shangguan Shengxian had no choice but to take Xiao Changqing out with her.

Xiao Changqing had two sky-high braids on her head and a small bamboo basket in her hand. She held Shangguan Shengxian's clothes and went to the street together. The town was very lively. There were all kinds of things on sale on the street. Xiao Changqing was very happy to see it.

Looking at the splashing drum on the left and the old man's sugar painting on the right, he showed his white teeth and laughed all the way. Finally, he stopped in front of a vendor carrying a string of candied haws and couldn't walk anymore.

"Changqing, do you want it?"

Shangguan Shengxian asked.

Little Changqing secretly swallowed his saliva, but shook his head and said, "No, mother... Little Changqing doesn't like to eat candy. It's too sweet and will damage his teeth."

"Mother, let's go buy you some beautiful floral cloth to make clothes!"

He took his mother's rough hand and walked forward. As he walked, he shook his head and said, "Wang Yaya always says that mother is ugly, but mother is not ugly. Mother just has to support Changqing and father, so she has no money to buy new clothes - mother is the most beautiful!"

Shangguan Shengxian heard this, her expression was quite complicated. How beautiful she was before. As a Daluo Jinxian, what kind of appearance did she want? But since she lived in seclusion here, she really completely sealed her self-cultivation, and her appearance became like that of an ordinary woman, living a mortal life. In just a few years, her face has been covered with the dust of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the corners of her eyes are also engraved with the traces of sweet and sour. Even her figure has become bloated, and she looks like a middle-aged fat woman.

If her former opponents knew that she looked like this now, I'm afraid Wang Zha would laugh his teeth off, right?

"Changqing, does Wang Yaya often bully you?"

However, she didn't care about her own beauty, but was keenly aware of this.

"No, it's just that she said our family is too poor and that I can't afford to marry her in the future... Humph, I don't like her at all, I won't pay attention to her this month."

Shangguan Shengxian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. These two children often play together, and they are used to playing house and say some nonsense, which is funny.

Before her smile faded, an inexplicable sense of guilt appeared in her eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of struggle and hesitation. Finally, the dust settled and she said, "Changqing, today is your birthday. Mother brought you to the street to buy you delicious food and fun things. Whatever you want, mother will buy it for you!"

Little Changqing's eyes shot out a ray of light: "Really?"

"Yes, don't you want to eat braised pork? And sweet and sour carp, right? You liked it very much when we went to the restaurant last time..."

"No, mother Honey, I want to eat fried potatoes. "

Little Changqing spoke sensibly, "Well... add a small piece, just a small piece, stinky tofu!"

Shangguan Shengxian touched his head and said, "Okay, mother will buy it for you."

She took Little Changqing to the vegetable market and bought some potatoes first. Seeing that the pork was fresh today, she couldn't help but bargain with the stall owner for a long time. After a long time, she finally bought a piece of pork belly. She happily put it on, but when she looked back, she saw that Little Changqing had gone.

There were people coming and going in the vegetable market, and Shangguan Shengxian was anxious: "Changqing!"

She shouted loudly and looked around, but she couldn't see Little Changqing after all. She ran out of the vegetable market and didn't find him. She stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, and hesitated whether to use her cultivation.

For many years, she hid here, accompanying the reincarnation of Changqing Immortal Venerable. In order not to disturb him, she lay dormant completely. Even living in a small town, she had been teased and bullied, but she endured it all. Only at this moment, she wanted to...

Use cultivation!

"Mother!"

But at this moment, a childish voice sounded not far away. Shangguan Shengxian turned her head hurriedly and saw Xiao Changqing standing not far away. She ran over and took Xiao Changqing into her arms, then slapped Xiao Changqing's butt twice and said, "Where have you been!"

Xiao Changqing did not cry, "Mother, the stinky tofu over there smells so good..."

Shangguan Shengxian glanced at a vendor not far away, who was frying black stinky tofu. Her eyes were slightly complicated, and then she took Xiao Changqing's hand and went over to buy a large portion for Xiao Changqing.

Xiao Changqing was very happy, and then went home with his mother. On the way, he helped Shangguan Shengxian carry things obediently.

The mother and son returned to the alley and home.

"Woman, are you back?"

In the simple courtyard, under the eaves, an old blind man with gray hair and beard was lying on a chair, unable to even sit up, and asked weakly.

"Dad, mom buried a lot of delicious food today!"

Little Changqing ran over excitedly, picked up the cattail leaf fan next to him and fanned the old man, then added a piece of stinky tofu and put it in the old man's mouth, saying, "Dad, is it fragrant!"

The old blind man chuckled, "Fragrant, very fragrant... cough cough... cough cough cough..."

He coughed out of breath, and Shangguan Shengxian came over and said, "Changqing, help mom wash the vegetables, I'll take your dad to take medicine."

"Oh."

Little Changqing obediently picked up the vegetables and went to the kitchen. Shangguan Shengxian pushed the wooden wheelchair and took the old man into the room and closed the door.

"Madam, I'm dying..."

The old man spoke with difficulty. His blind eyes looked at Shangguan Shengxian with emptiness. His old hand trembled and stretched out, and placed it on Shangguan Shengxian's hand, saying: "I'm sorry for you."

"I'm sorry for you and your mother..."

"No grievance, no apology, all of this is my own will."

Shangguan Shengxian spoke, she lowered her head, looked at the old man, and said: "It's just that Xiao Changqing has been weak since he was a child. The doctor in the town said that he may not live beyond ten years old..."

The old man cried weakly.

"I found out about a folk remedy that might work..."

"What remedy?"

"The remedy says that the loved ones who just died contain many things. If the child eats it, it can cure all diseases..."

The old man suddenly held her hand excitedly and said, "Madam, I... use me!"

"Let Xiao Changqing live. He is our only child. You must save him..."

He was so exhausted that he seemed unable to breathe. He held Shangguan Shengxian's hand tightly: "Give it all to him..."

The old man died slowly and no longer moved. However, in his eyes that had been blind for many years, turbid tears still rolled down his cheeks...

...

Shangguan Shengxian asked Xiao Changqing to go to the study to write, and then she started to cook.

It was ten o'clock in the evening before she let Xiao Changqing come out of the study. Xiao Changqing held a stack of yellow straw paper and said, "Mother, Changqing practiced the character Yong well today. I heard from the teacher in the private school that as long as you can write the character Yong well, you can also write other characters well..." Shangguan Shengxian touched Xiao Changqing's head and said, "You are so good." "Hurry up and sit down to eat." Xiao Changqing said, "Mother, where is Dad? Isn't he going to the table to eat again?" "Yes, he is too tired and has taken a rest. Mother will bring it to the room later." Xiao Changqing nodded, then took a deep sniff. The braised pork, braised lion's head, fried potatoes, etc. on the table were a rare richness. Xiao Changqing was greedy and picked up a meat ball first. He put the meatballs in Shangguan Shengxian's bowl and said, "Mother, you have worked hard. Mother, please eat some meat."

Shangguan Shengxian was stunned for a moment, but he took it back and said, "Mother is not feeling well today and cannot eat meat. Changqing, I made everything for you today."

"Eat quickly, or mother will be unhappy."

She frowned, and little Changqing rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then Changqing, start eating!"

He started eating, eating the meatballs one by one. Little Changqing was going to eat a few and say that he was full and leave them for his mother, so that his mother would have no excuse. But for some reason, he couldn't help himself and ate one after another. Soon, he finished the whole plate of meatballs.

"I am so full, mother..."

Little Changqing raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Shengxian, saying, "Mother, I can't eat anymore."

Shangguan Shengxian was looking at him, with an unprecedented calmness and coldness in his eyes.

"Mother...you are angry, it's all because Changqing is too greedy, please don't blame Changqing, okay?"

He pulled Shangguan Shengxian's sleeve, and the coldness in Shangguan Shengxian's eyes, which had finally gathered, gradually cracked. Finally, he sighed slightly and said, "Mother doesn't blame you, whether you are sleepy or not, go to sleep if you are sleepy."

Little Changqing really felt very sleepy, he nodded and said, "Mother, you have to eat all the braised pork, I won't like it for the next meal, little Changqing is picky about food!"

Seeing him return to his room, Shangguan Shengxian's eyes inexplicably showed a trace of pain. Obviously, for so many years, the calculation was for today, and everything would succeed, but she felt inexplicably reluctant and reluctant...

"The road to immortality is narrow..."

She whispered, and a hint of magic light appeared in her eyes. She stayed here and waited until little Changqing almost fell asleep, then she got up and pushed the door into little Changqing's room.

He fell into a coma, unconscious and insensible, and would not feel any pain...

Thinking this in her heart, she walked over, uncovered the quilt on the child, and gently undressed Xiao Changqing.

A ball of cloth was suddenly pulled out from Xiao Changqing's arms. It was a piece of beautiful floral cloth.

Shangguan Shengxian was stunned.

While in a coma, Xiao Changqing seemed to sense something. His little hands clutched the floral cloth, and his little mouth muttered: "Mother looks the most beautiful in floral clothes... I only have two cents left in pocket money, and I can't afford stinky tofu..."

Shangguan Shengxian suddenly trembled all over. She stared at the sleeping child on the bed, his peaceful face. Shangguan Shengxian raised her hand, as if it was held by thousands of mountains and could not fall down at all...

"The road to immortality is narrow. All this is just my inner demon... It's just an inner demon. After cutting it off, I will see the great road!"

She raised her hand again.

And put it down again!

And raised it again!

Once again put down...

If Li An saw this scene, he would probably be extremely surprised. He would never have thought that Shangguan Shengxian, who was cruel and calculating, would one day be so tender-hearted and thoughtful!

After a long stalemate, Shangguan Shengxian finally let go of his hand and said, "It is difficult to overcome the inner demon. It is not easy for me to kill you with my own hands."

"Out of sight, out of mind. I will come again after you die!"

Turning out of the door, Shangguan Shengxian closed the door and locked the door to the yard.

Shangguan Shengxian was very rational. She knew that she gave birth to a child for the reincarnation of Changqing Immortal Venerable. After all, it was maternal instinct that disturbed her mind and her killing intention was not strong, but she would not be hindered by such things.

Wait for Shangguan Changqing to starve to death here.

She came back again.

She walked onto the street. There were so many people. She found a teahouse and ordered a bowl of tea. All kinds of shouting on the street came into her ears.

"Rattle, a rattle made of spirit animal bones..."

"Tang haws..."

"Stinky tofu..."

She was inexplicably upset. She took a sip of bitter tea, but her heart was still uneasy.

"No!"

Suddenly, Shangguan Shengxian frowned slightly. If it was just because of Shangguan Changqing, she shouldn't be so upset...

She seemed to be alert to something. Suddenly, her breath suddenly changed. The middle-aged woman who was drinking inferior tea in the teahouse suddenly had thousands of mysterious auras and Daluo fairy light lingering around, which made all the tea drinkers around, and even the cultivators in the whole town, tremble instantly!

Just at this moment, two fairy lights appeared in Shangguan Shengxian's eyes, piercing through the netherworld.

Where her eyes went, there were clearly Daluo-level strongmen guarding the sky around this town. She...

Has been surrounded!

"Not good!" Shangguan Shengxian's heart skipped a beat. Her figure disappeared from the teahouse and then appeared in the courtyard of her home. There was already a man in the courtyard. The man held a blood-red sword in his hand. The sword had pierced through Xiao Changqing's heart. Xiao Changqing's body was slowly withering and turning into a small dried corpse! An Li! He has come. He did it himself. He killed Shangguan Changqing! His eyes were so calm and cold. He looked at Shangguan Shengxian and said, "This sword belongs to Li Antai." "You killed his beloved wife Gu Hong. Today, I will avenge him--" As the head of the Dao Sect, there was no guilt on his face for killing children. There was only an unparalleled firmness and calmness! And Shangguan Shengxian... At this moment, her body was trembling inexplicably. She stared at the dried corpse. In her eyes, a surging emotion erupted like a volcano. It was an unspeakable sadness! Hot tears flowed from Shangguan Shengxian's eyes for the first time!
