After the three of them left Mount Zhongnan, Grandma Sun used the gold, silver, and other valuables from the tomb as money and rented three horses at the relay station. After the three of them got on the horses, they were not in a hurry. Instead, they deliberately slowed down the horses. However, no matter how slow the horses were, they would have to part sooner or later. At the first fork in the road, the three of them stopped their horses. Finally, it was time for them to say goodbye.
Yang Guo and Grandma Sun took the fork in the road north to Xiangyang to seek refuge with Guo Daxia and his wife. This pair of old and young had gone through life and death situations together and hit it off very well. In just two days, they were as close as grandfather and grandson. Yang Guo originally wanted to ask Run Yu if he wanted to go with them to Xiangyang, but in the end, he did not ask. Yang Guo was smart, he knew that Runyu was intentionally not revealing her true background. He didn't mind, but his Uncle Guo and Auntie Huang would definitely pursue the matter. Especially Auntie Huang, who was very clever, she would definitely be suspicious when the time came. If he let such a talented person like Run Yu follow him, it would be a disgrace to Run Yu.
Yang Guo shouted, "Brother, let's part here. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Xiangyang to find us. My uncle Guo Jing, Guo Daxia, has a very high prestige in Jianghu and cherishes talents the most. "
Run Yu looked at the young boy's lively face and suddenly understood the value of the young boy — because no one knew what the young boy would become in the future. He lowered his head and smiled, saying, "Run Yu will not seek refuge with Guo Daxia. If I encounter any trouble, can I mention the name of Hero Yang Guo? "
"Yes, I, Yang Guo, am still a nobody, but …" The young boy paused, his eyes shining. He raised his voice, "I will try my best to do it! In three or five years, I will let the name Yang Guo spread throughout Jianghu! Right, brother, what about you? How do you plan to live in the future? "
"Me?" Run Yu narrowed his eyes and hid the confusion in them. Nothing is more sorrowful than the death of the heart, and the death of a person is also second. Ever since he killed Jin Mi with his own hands, his heart seemed to have stopped beating. He had not considered Yang Guo's question.
Grandma Sun said, "Guo'er, stop asking. A person like Young Master Runyu can live well no matter where he goes. "
Few people walk on the ancient road, the autumn wind moves the grains. The road back is uncertain, the road ahead is boundless. This kind of feeling, this kind of scene, makes a man brave enough to have a heroic spirit.
Men should not be shy when saying goodbye to each other. Yang Guo changed his image of a mischievous young man. On the horse, he clasped his hands and bowed to Runyu. Runyu also seemed to have forgotten his identity as the Celestial Emperor and returned the gesture.
Run Yu watched the two thin horses go further and further away. He only heard Grandma Sun looking forward to her eightieth birthday in a few years and coming back to Mount Zhongnan to look at Xiao Longnu. Run Yu sighed. His divine power was sealed, but his immortal soul was in his body, so he could see the lifespan of an old person. When he first saw Grandma Sun, he already knew that her life was coming to an end. He was afraid that she would not last a year. But in the last year of her life, returning to freedom, she was at least happy.
The time he spent in the human world, compared to the long-lived Celestial Ruler, was just a moment. But Run Yu vaguely felt that he was really like this body, getting a new life.
He originally thought that the nature of the world was cold, and that the feelings of people were just superficial, so he deliberately pursued the Taishang Indifference. However, in the past two days, he saw the master-servant relationship between Xiao Longnu and Grandma Sun, and the close friendship between Grandma Sun and Yang Guo. He was shaken. There were thousands of emotions in the world, but family was the longest, flowing continuously. Love was the strongest, like magma gushing out, destroying everything. Love and hate were just thoughts. Compared to these two, the friendship between master and servant, and the friendship between strangers, had never been mentioned. Run Yu was hurt the most by the former, but he saw a trace of warmth in the latter.
What was loneliness? What was "love"? What was the Taishang Indifference?
Run Yu was riding a thin horse. The west wind rolled up the ground, and a leaf flew in his face and fell on his hair. He plucked the leaf and looked at it intently. The red leaf was reflected in his deep black eyes. In an instant, it was as if an earth-shattering curtain had been pulled up. Everything retreated behind the curtain, and only this red leaf remained in his eyes.
White clothes, red leaves, coldness, and beauty.
The pair of eyes that had been lonely for thousands of years was moved by a leaf, and in an instant, the brilliance of life burst out!
It turned out that the Taishang Indifference was not emotionless, but had feelings. It was tolerance for oneself and all living things, not demanding and deliberate.
The late Celestial Ruler once said that he was the biggest prisoner in the world. A prisoner drew a circle on the ground, and was trapped in a cocoon of his own making. Therefore, the Celestial Ruler, who sat in all directions and seemed to have the vastness of heaven and earth, was a prisoner, but Xiao Longnu, who was trapped in the Tomb of the Living Dead and saw the lonely scene in the tomb every day, was not a prisoner.
What was heaven and earth?
If you want to see a furnace, you see a furnace; if you want to see paradise, you see paradise.
Run Yu let out a clear whistle, and the gale suddenly stopped. Everything was silent, but the red leaves on the ground rose into the air and scattered all over the sky!
Before the Western Buddha became a Buddha, he practiced asceticism on the snow mountain for seventeen years. In the end, he could not understand the Great Tao, so he was disheartened. He left the snow mountain and meditated under the Bodhi tree for seven days and seven nights. On the seventh night, a meteor suddenly fell from the sky. The Buddha looked up and saw ten thousand years in a glance. At that moment, he was enlightened.
Now, Run Yu was not completely enlightened, but he did see some things from those mortals that he could not see before, and also let go of some things that he could not let go of.
In autumn, the Celestial Ruler was enlightened in the human world.
The six realms saw a flash of light in the sky.
Since the flying leaf of the ancient path, Run Yu had recovered part of his spiritual power. He found a thatched hut built by hunters in the maple forest and lived there for a while. Day after day, he practiced diligently. When he was young, he did not have a teacher to guide him, nor did he have a strong talent. Thus, he developed the habit of hard work and concentration. If he could learn something well, he would never do it half-heartedly.
He practiced swordsmanship in the morning, went out to gather and hunt at noon, and then cooked by himself. In the afternoon, he meditated until the sun went down. After a simple wash, he went to bed early. Just like that, he lived like a hermit from autumn to winter.
One day, Run Yu practiced swordsmanship as usual, but he did not hold a sword in his hand, but a withered bamboo. He had forgotten most of the swordsmanship that he learned in his early years, and there were also some moves that he learned from the flowing water. His movements were like a piece of cursive calligraphy, flowing, beautiful, and powerful. At first, Run Yu knew that he could not use his spiritual power in the human world to violate the order of the human world, so he put in effort to practice martial arts. But later, he liked the martial arts of the human world, and was willing to practice even for fun.
A sword move was about to end. Run Yu pulled up the sword and poked at the soil. Suddenly, dust flew up, and an earth spirit came out of the ground.
"Ah ah ah, Your … Hero, please spare my life!"
This earth spirit looked like a demon that was transformed from a tree root, half human and half tree. "Stop pretending. Tell me, who sent you?"
"I was just peeking at the hero playing with the bamboo to raise my eyes, no one sent me …" The earth spirit felt wronged.
Run Yu swung his sleeves and snorted, "As the saying goes, do not do things more than three times. Today is the third time you came. You can still come up with such an insincere reason. In the mouth of you demons, I am afraid that I have long been described as a monster with a green face and fangs. "
The earth spirit seemed to be really afraid of Run Yu. Even if it pretended not to be afraid, it always kept a distance of more than two arms away from Run Yu.
"Ever since the Divine Light descended upon the world, the mountain spirits and wild monsters in this mountain had already noticed me. But at that time, you were not sure if I had really become a mortal, so you sent small demons to monitor me for three months. When the time was right, you set up an inescapable net on this mountain range." After Rune Jade's analysis, her voice became even colder. "I once thought, if you knew the difficulties and retreated, I could not pursue this matter. But unfortunately, the small demons of Mount Zhongnan still intended to rebel and disobey their superiors! Have you ever thought that your actions will inevitably implicate the entire demon world? "
In fact, the Zhongnan Mountains had been a blessed land of Taoism since ancient times. The demons that could survive in such a place were not ordinary demons. Once they fought, Run Yu, who had not recovered his spiritual power, would be at an absolute disadvantage.
During this period of time in the maple forest, it seemed peaceful, but in fact, the undercurrent was turbulent. Runyu was alone, attacked from both front and rear, and his strength was sealed. The only thing he could rely on was his meticulous wisdom and the courage to cut off all means of retreat. First, he did not choose to escape immediately after discovering the hostility of the demon race, because this would only expose his shortcomings and give the demon race more confidence to kill him. Second, he did not continue to hide his identity, because there must be a big demon existence in the demon race who had seen him before. Finally, he chose to reveal his identity to the demon race today after careful planning.
After the earth spirit found that it could not deceive Run Yu, its expression suddenly changed. Two vines suddenly appeared on its arms and attacked Run Yu.
"Celestial Ruler Yinglong is now just a mortal with some spiritual power. In the past, during the Heavenly Demon War, you brought disaster to the six realms because of your selfish desire, and formed a blood feud with my demon race! This immortal's father died in this war, and even his bones were not left. If this hatred is not avenged, I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace! Celestial Ruler became a mortal, and a miracle happened to appear in my race's territory. The heavens are really helping me! "
After Run Yu broke the vines with the withered bamboo, he looked around. Unknowingly, a black wind suddenly blew in the afternoon sky, and there were pairs of blood-red eyes around. A group of demons appeared, and the evil aura was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Run Yu held a broken bamboo pole in his hand, and his eyes were bloodshot as he glanced at the demons. The demons shuddered. In a situation where there was such a great disparity in strength, they still did not dare to attack together.
"I am the Six Directions Supremacy. Even if I am guilty, it is not up to you to judge me!"

Xiao Longnu: Yu Er, why are there always so many people attacking you?
Run Yu: Because Run Yu's face is repulsive and not likable.
Xiao Longnu: Nonsense, I like it very much.
Runyu: "Actually, it's because I'm a villain."
