Chapter 56 End of Worldly Relationship
Less than half a month after arriving at Ziyun Peak, Li Yu had become familiar with the elderly people here.
With his own efforts, he changed the lifeless atmosphere of Ziyun Peak. Originally, no matter when he came here, it was always dead silent. Now, every time he returned to the peak, he could hear crackling sounds coming from everywhere.
Mahjong has become an indispensable entertainment for the bored old people in Ziyun Peak. Li Yu found several weapon-refining apprentices in the sect, customized dozens of sets of mahjong at the price of ten spirit coins per set, and sold them at the price of one hundred spirit coins per set. In less than three days, they were sold out.
The Ziyun Peak is now more lively than the places where those young disciples gather.
" Mr. Zhang, you look much better today. Did you win some spirit coins again?"
"Old Li, the Baoyuan Pill you requested can be refined today. Come back and pick it up in an hour."
"Old Shen, why are you hiding? Don't think that you don't owe me spirit coins just because you hide..."
…
Li Yu greeted a few familiar elderly people and returned to his own villa. Zhou Zixuan was watering the flowers in the garden. She bent over busy, outlining a perfect curve.
Hearing the voice behind her, she turned around to look at Li Yu and said with a smile: "You're back..."
These days, Li Yu was only concerned with refining pills and making money. Everything at home was managed in an orderly manner by Zhou Zixuan, which made Li Yu sigh that it was good to have a hostess at home.
Zhou Zixuan put down the shower head, walked over slowly, and said to Li Yu: "The New Year is coming soon. I want to go home. I may not come back until after the Lantern Festival. What are your plans?"
After many people embark on the path of spiritual practice, they no longer have the concept of the end of the year.
In Kunlun Cave Heaven, there is no frost or scorching heat, no day or night, and it remains the same day for a hundred years. The disciples who have stayed here for a long time have long been accustomed to it. Even if they have contact with their secular families, it will not be too much.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals. To cultivate immortality, one must cut off all emotions and love, cut off the mundane world, and be free of all attachments. Only then can one seek immortality.
However, after spending so much time with Zhou Zixuan, Li Yu knew her very well. She did not have a deep desire for immortality and attached great importance to relationships. In order to practice, she had not seen her parents and relatives for several years, so she must have missed home for a long time.
Li Yu had no feelings about the Chinese New Year. In his previous life, his father died in the line of duty when he was a child, and his mother later died of illness. He was an orphan in this world and had no home to return to.
If he were to talk about home, perhaps Baiyun Temple would be the only one that could be considered his home.
Li Yu said: "Where is your home? I will take you home first, and then go back to Baiyun Temple."
Zhou Zixuan said: "No need, I can do it myself."
Li Yu said: "I have a flying boat, which is much faster than your flying. Anyway, I don't have anything to do..."
Zhou Zixuan heard this and did not refuse, saying, "My family is in the capital of Zhao State."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you also from Zhao State?"
Zhou Zixuan asked in surprise: "You too?"
Although the two people have known each other for a long time, they have never known where the other person came from.
There are dozens of small countries within Kunlun's sphere of influence, and the disciples of Baiyun Temple also come from different countries.
Li Yu only now found out that Zhou Zixuan was born into a noble family in the State of Zhao. Her grandfather was the Taifu of the State of Zhao. The Zhou family passed down poetry and literature from generation to generation and held a very high status in the State of Zhao. Two years ago, she was discovered to have the qualifications to practice cultivation, so she was sent to the Baiyun Temple to practice.
Before coming to Baiyun Temple, Li Yu lived in the capital of Zhao State for sixteen years.
It was not until he fell off a cliff while collecting herbs and was rescued by the witch that he was sent to Baiyun Temple to practice.
Now knowing that Li Yu and she were from the same country, Zhou Zixuan happily asked, "Where are you from in Zhao?"
Li Yu said: "I am also from the capital."
Zhou Zixuan asked: "Where is the capital?"
Li Yu recalled and said, "Go out of the west gate and walk another ten miles to Lijia Village next to the official road."
He had already digested all the memories about Li Yu, including the place where he lived as a child and some of his experiences.
He grew up in Lijia Village in Zhao State. His parents died early and he made a living by collecting herbs. Fortunately, his neighbors took good care of him, otherwise he would not have lived to be more than ten years old.
Zhou Zixuan was surprised and said, "I know where it is. The people living in that village are all tenants of my family. I went . I even gave half a string of candied haws to a good-looking little brother..."
Li Yu was surprised and said, "So it was you who gave me the candied haws!"
Li Yu has a deep memory of candied haws. When he was a child, a beautiful young lady whom he had only met once gave him half a string of leftover candied haws. To Li Yu, who could not even get enough food at that time, it was a delicacy. He has remembered this incident for more than ten years...
Of course, by the way, remember that young lady.
Although he had only met her once, that young lady had always been Li Yu's childhood goddess.
Neither of them expected that they had known each other for more than ten years.
Fate is truly indescribable.
Li Yu smiled and said, "So that beautiful young lady is you. This is really fate. I still remember the taste of that string of candied haws..."
Zhou Zixuan was also surprised and delighted, and said, "You were so small and thin back then, and you've grown so big in the blink of an eye!"
Li Yu said: "You were also very young then, aren't you this big now?"
It brought back memories of their childhood, and added some inexplicable things to the already close relationship between the two. Li Yu sighed at the magic of fate, and Zhou Zixuan was secretly happy. It turned out that she and Li Yu had known each other for ten years earlier than Jiang Shimei...
Soon, two figures left Ziyun Peak and flew towards the mountain gate together.
…
Two days later, Zhao State, Lijia Village.
Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan walked side by side on the village road. Last night, he sent Zhou Zixuan home. Because it was late, he also stayed at Zhou's house for one night.
Early this morning, Li Yu planned to visit the village where he used to live, and Zhou Zixuan accompanied him .
There are usually few outsiders visiting the village. This young man and woman, who were well-dressed and had outstanding temperament, and were obviously not ordinary people, quickly attracted the attention of the villagers in Lijia Village.
Li Yu looked at everything around him. Although it was his first time here, he was familiar with everything here.
Li Yu took a look at the ancient well at the entrance of the village and the old locust tree beside the ancient well. His mind couldn't help but recall the scenes of playing with his friends in the same village when he was a child, as if he had really experienced all this in person.
The memories of Li Yu quickly became clear in his mind along with these familiar scenes.
At this moment, Li Yu even felt a sense of confusion in his heart.
Two different memories, both so clear.
Is he this Li Yu, or that Li Yu, or both - at this moment, it seems a little unclear.
Soon, Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan arrived at a deserted house.
The yellow mud wall had collapsed in half. The yard had been neglected for a long time and was overgrown with weeds. Zhou Zixuan turned around and glanced at Li Yu, asking, "Is this where you used to live?"
Li Yu nodded. Although this place was deserted, it still overlapped with the home in his memory.
"You, are you Li Yu?"
An old voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Li Yu turned around and saw an old man with gray hair and a cane not far behind him, looking at him in disbelief.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, more than a dozen figures who were watching from afar immediately surrounded him.
"What, Li Yu, Li Yu is back?"
"Li Yu, it's really Li Yu!"
"I thought you were eaten by wild animals while collecting herbs in the mountains!"
"Tsk tsk, judging by the way Li Yu is dressed, he must have gotten rich in the past few years. Is this pretty girl next to him your wife?"
…
The folks in the village had no idea about Li Yu's miraculous experiences in recent years. They just thought that he had made a fortune, married a beautiful wife, and returned home in glory. They looked at him with envy in their eyes.
"Look at this dress, he must have made a fortune in the past few years!"
"I even married a beautiful wife..."
" I never thought that Li Yu would be so successful..."
Li Yu did not explain anything about the discussions of the crowd. He took Zhou Zixuan to visit the homes of the neighbors who had helped him a lot. Before leaving, he left them a large sum of money and some elixirs to strengthen their bodies as a reward for their kindness.
If they spend that money frugally, it will be enough for them to not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. And those elixirs can also protect them from diseases throughout their lives. Even if they can't live to be a hundred years old, at least they will have no problem living to be seventy or eighty years old in good health.
After doing these things, he and Zhou Zixuan left.
When leaving the village, Li Yu turned his head and said to Zhou Zixuan: "I will return the money to you later."
Zhou Zixuan glanced at him in reproach and said, "What are you going to pay back? If you have to calculate everything so clearly, won't I never be able to pay back what I owe you in my entire life?"
Li Yu smiled and said nothing more.
After returning to Lijia Village, his mood was brighter than ever.
Whether it is the little medicine boy in Lijia Village or the undercover policeman in another world, it is him.
But it wasn't him either.
He is Li Yu, that's all.
After sending Zhou Zixuan home, Li Yu also left the capital of Zhao State. He planned to go back to Baiyun Temple to see Elder Sun and the little white tiger.
The speed of the flying boat is much faster than flying in the air. Li Yu traveled quickly all the way and arrived at Fengzhou one day later. The familiar Baiyun Mountains were already in front of him.
Baiyun Mountain, in a familiar valley.
When Li Yu fell from the sky, he saw a white shadow lying on the big rock where he often sat cross-legged, sleeping soundly.
Li Yu slowly landed beside it. The little white tiger's hair stood up and it immediately became alert. However, when it opened its eyes and found that it was Li Yu, the alertness in its eyes quickly turned into surprise. It pounced on Li Yu and threw him to the ground. The joyful tiger roars shook the forest, causing all the beasts in the forest to lie on the ground, trembling all over...
