As he said this, Chu Tenghu, who had been keeping his head down, quietly raised his head and glanced at Chu Yang. Then, he lowered his eyelids again.
This gaze was filled with hatred and jealousy, and it was as cold as a knife!
Although Chu Yang's cultivation hadn't recovered yet, his divine sense had almost completely integrated with the divine soul of the first Tribulation Sword Master. He could indeed be called the best in the world!
Of course, he had sensed the source of this gaze, and also sensed the unfriendliness of this gaze.
But why would Chu Yang care about him now? He turned around calmly and placed Chu Tenghu and his two brothers behind him.
I don't even care about your old age, let alone your young age.
After informing Chu Feiling, Chu Yang followed Chu Xiongcheng into the inner hall under Chu Feiling's proud and smiling gaze. After they left, they turned into a quiet path.
"Yang Yang, you're very skilled in treating the injuries just now," Chu Xiongcheng's broken eyebrows twitched and looked at Chu Yang with a faint smile.
"Of course, I wasn't skilled at the beginning. But after a night of practice, I'm finally familiar with it now," Chu Yang said cautiously. He cleverly said that he treated the injuries of other clans as' practice '. If Chu Xiongcheng asked, he would say, "I wasn't very good at that time, and I wasn't confident …"
He would block the path in advance.
Chu Xiongcheng didn't expect this grandson to play tricks. He asked in a low voice, "I don't care if you're practicing or not. I only want to ask you, were you involved in the incident two nights ago?"
"The incident two nights ago? What incident? "Chu Yang was surprised. Then, he suddenly realized," Grandfather, are you talking about … the incident of the big clans being attacked? "
Chu Xiongcheng stared at him with eagle-like eyes and asked in a low voice, "Were you involved?"
Chu Yang felt wronged and shouted, "Grandfather … If I did it, would I still hide it from you? This is a matter of life and death for the clans! I really didn't do it. It has nothing to do with me. "
He thought, I really didn't do it. It was the sword spirit who did it.
Chu Xiongcheng snorted and said, "Then how did you know about this treatment method?"
"When I was in the Lower Three Heavens, Godly Doctor Du Shi Qing once gave me a copy of the Medical Sage's Medicine Canon. In the Lower Three Heavens, in the Northern Wastelands, I accidentally broke into a cave. The stone walls of the cave were engraved with the methods to break and neutralize all the sinister techniques from the past ten thousand years."
Chu Yang did not even blink. He spoke sincerely with a heart-wrenching tone and an aggrieved face. It was the kind of depression that came from being suspected after doing a good deed! In fact, his eyes were about to burst into tears.
Old Master Chu couldn't bear it anymore. Sigh, look at what I've done to my grandson … Looks like it really isn't him. "Since it's not you, you should lie low for the time being. Even if someone is suspicious, this old man will stand up for you! "
Chu Yang said naively, "Don't tell me that they don't feel the least bit grateful that I saved them? Are you going to deal with me instead? "
Old Master Chu stroked his beard and sighed, "What a pure and innocent child. How can things be so simple in this world? Receiving a drop of water from someone should be repaid with a gushing spring. Repaying the debt of saving a life for a lifetime doesn't exist anymore … The way of the world now is strength. "
Chu Yang said angrily, "This is too unfair!"
Patting his shoulder, Old Master Chu said earnestly, "When you grow up, you will understand."
Young Master Chu muttered in a daze, "How can it be like this … How can it be like this … How can they be like this …"
Old Master Chu sighed deeply. He felt that he was a failure. The reality that he said had polluted Sun Xiaochun's pure and innocent heart …
This was a huge blow to this child's pure and innocent nature. Hopefully, this child will be able to recognize the evil ways of the world as soon as possible …
…
The path gradually became desolate. Wild grass grew on both sides of the path, and wild flowers swayed in the wind. Rows and rows of all kinds of tall trees stood upright. Each tree was as thick as a few people hugging it. The branches were lush and full of birds' nests. The ground was covered with a layer of birds' nests. Walking on it, one could hear rustling sounds. It was unknown how many years it had been since it was cleaned.
Walking on this desolate path, one couldn't help but feel that everything was quiet and tranquil. It was as if one was far away from the mortal world.
In this wonderful feeling, the two of them didn't want to talk. They walked forward in silence. Only the sound of their own footsteps could be heard …
The two of them had a feeling that this frequency could extend to the ends of the world.
The sword spirit sighed somewhat disappointedly and said, "See, this is the place where the strong should live. Away from the ostentatiousness, away from the hustle and bustle. Alone, accompanying the world day after day, year after year, painstakingly comprehending the mysteries of life, martial arts, and the Heavenly Dao. Until one's own flesh and blood wither along with the flowers and trees, turning into soil and wind, and returning to the earth … "
"Everyone knows that the strong can move unhindered in the world. They can turn their hands over and create clouds and rain with a flip of their hands. They are unrivaled and unrivaled. How majestic and domineering is that? But who would've thought that behind this majestic and domineering aura, there's a thousand years of loneliness that can't be dispelled … "
Chu Yang felt bitter and disappointed in his heart. He asked softly, "Don't tell me … they don't have wives? They don't have lovers to accompany them throughout their lives? They don't have unforgettable … feelings? "
"They do …" The sword spirit sighed deeply and said, "But they're just like everything on the ground … The only thing that can accompany them is some memories that will never fade from their hearts … Otherwise, why is it said that it's lonely at the top …"
Chu Yang was silent.
"So, before this, among all the strong people, only a very small number of couples can reach the peak together. Such a couple may not appear even once in tens of thousands of years."
The sword spirit seemed to be on guard against something, and also seemed to be sighing. "So … usually, such strong people walk the Emotionless Path … Because, if they're obsessed with love, after their loved ones have passed away for so long, just the deep feelings of love in the past … are enough to drive them crazy. How can they survive the long hundreds of years that follow?"
"So, the Emotionless Path Master is in charge of everything in the Chong Tian Continent!"
The sword spirit was a little worried. "But you, you practice the Emotionless Path and go against the tradition of tens of thousands of years … I hope that you … don't know that you …"
As he spoke, the sword spirit couldn't continue. He could only let out a long sigh.
"I look at the world with my eyes and my heart. I'm willing to be bitter and happy. If I don't become the moon in the Chong Tian Continent, I won't be afraid of the difficulties of reincarnation!" Chu Yang said quietly.
The sword spirit was silent. He let out a long sigh.
I'm willing to indulge myself, and I'm willing to be with my loved ones and my brothers regardless of the difficulties and hardships in the world. Even if I end up as high as the moon in the Chong Tian Continent, as long as my loved ones pass away … I'll accompany them in reincarnation!
This was Chu Yang's answer.
"Who doesn't know that love is priceless? But … the Heavenly Dao is emotionless. You're so sentimental. What will happen in the future … "The sword spirit thought silently.
…
The two of them came to the end.
It was a small courtyard. It was very simple and crude. The surrounding walls were full of withered grass. There were layers of yellow and green grass. It was so crowded that the soil on the walls couldn't be seen. Cracks were opened by the grass roots. It looked as if the wall was about to collapse.
The grass on the top of the wall was even more lush. It actually sprang up a few feet and swayed in the wind.
The two wooden doors were obviously made of red sandalwood. Seeing these two wooden doors, Chu Yang was sure that this elder was probably more than three to four hundred years old as he had guessed. He should be at least seven hundred years old …
Because some parts of this hard red sandalwood couldn't withstand the wind and frost, and there were large traces of decay.
And Chu Yang knew that if this red sandalwood was used carefully and placed in a room, it wouldn't change even after a thousand years. Although these wooden doors had been tempered by the wind and rain outside, to be able to reach such a state … it was enough to show that they had been here for a long time.
There was only one thing that was very strange: If this elder could live for such a long time, why was there no one below him?
Chu Xiongcheng finally said, "I'll send you here. You can go in by yourself. The elder only wants to see you. "
Chu Yang said, "Yes."
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door. It was silent inside. Chu Yang exerted some force and the wooden door opened with a creak, revealing a courtyard full of weeds.
Then, Chu Yang walked in.
He turned around and closed the wooden door with another creak, leaving Chu Xiongcheng outside. He also closed the thousand years of loneliness outside the door.
Chu Xiongcheng stared blankly for a long time before he turned around and left.
…
Chu Yang turned around.
The withered grass in the courtyard was very thick. The newly grown weeds were very tall. On average, they could reach the height of his waist. Chu Yang pushed them aside carefully. He tried his best to step on the withered grass and walked forward.
There was a soft voice inside, "Step on the green grass, don't step on my withered grass."
Chu Yang was startled and did as he was told.
He suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
Step on the green grass, don't step on my withered grass … From this sentence, it could be seen that this elder was a sentimental person. Perhaps, in his heart, these dead … withered grass without vitality were just like his loved ones and brothers who had passed away in the prime of his life?
Chu Yang suddenly understood the real reason why the elder didn't let anyone clean the courtyard.
It was because he couldn't let go!
The green grass under Chu Yang's feet creaked and fell. After Chu Yang walked over, they stood up again. Although they were a little slanted, they didn't affect their vitality.
There were three thatched huts in the courtyard. The wooden door was wide open. The stone steps in front of the door were full of moss. On the left, there was a big green rock that was densely covered with moss. On the right, there was a big vat that was filled with rainwater. No one knew how many years it had been since it was cleaned. The vat had turned dark green and tiny red worms were rolling around in it …
"Come in," the voice said faintly.
Chu Yang finally stepped in. He stepped into this place that was full of mysteries and legends to a young martial artist. It was a place where Martial Saints lived.
It was full of the fragrance of grass and wood. It was very clean. There was a bed, a table, and a chair in the room.
Obviously, the elder didn't plan to entertain guests here. So there wasn't even a place to sit.
This place belonged to him alone.
On the side wall, an ancient painting was hanging quietly. On the painting, there was a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth. Her eyes were full of affection as she silently watched everything in this thatched hut.
The elder was dressed in green. He was standing quietly in front of this painting, looking at the person in the painting. His back was facing Chu Yang. He was motionless like a statue. His back view revealed infinite desolation and loneliness.
Could it be that he had spent these hundreds of years looking at this painting?
