Chapter 988 The Meaning of Waves
The day after the winter solstice, Wei Changtian prepared to return to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
In fact, there is still one month before the Chinese New Year. However, considering that this is a "big operation" with the whole family, the journey will definitely not be fast. In addition, the matters in Shuzhou have been dealt with, so Wei Changtian decided to set off early.
Xu Qingwan, Liang Qin, Yang Liushi, Lu Jingyao, Xiao Hongsu.
The three little girls Wei Qiaoling, Achun and Agou, as well as Yuaner and Qiuyun.
This time the whole family went back, so it can really be considered a "big reunion".
Although the so-called "three-year period" had been abolished since Ning Yongnian's death, Wei Changtian had already returned to the capital several times before that.
However, this time is different from the previous "passing by", it obviously has a different meaning.
And what a coincidence, it has been three years since Wei Changtian was "exiled" to Shuzhou.
Three years ago, Wei Changtian committed the crime of "killing the prime minister" in order to save Qiu Yun. Xuan Jingsi exchanged his life for "two guards".
Three years later, the former Da Ning no longer existed, and even the entire world situation had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Even among his wives, Wei Changtian has married three more in the past three years . At first glance, the change is really too big.
But it's just like Comrade Xiao Xu's golden hairpin that went around in circles and was finally found.
All this seems to be inevitable.
Maybe life is like this a lot of the time. Every time you go around a circle and return to the starting point, there will always be more or fewer people around you, more or fewer memories.
The long river of time rolls forward, and may erase all traces of your and my existence.
But when it crosses the mountains and rivers and finally flows into the sea, every drop of waves it stirs up is given meaning.
At noon, on the top of the mountain.
There were no clouds in the sky, no wind in the mountains, and the fallen yellow leaves covered the forest, but there were still many dark green leaves hanging on the treetops, casting a little shadow in the sun.
Sitting in front of Xiao Feng's nameless tombstone, Wei Changtian, as usual, brought a pot of wine and a clay bowl, and talked to himself while drinking.
"Xiao Feng, when was the last time I came to see you?"
"Oh, now I remember, it was after the incident in Yuanzhou City."
"I remember you appeared in my dream that night and told me that from now on I would be the protagonist."
"But unfortunately, my luck remains the same, nothing has changed."
Pursing his lips, Wei Changtian pulled out a few weeds in front of the tombstone. With a thought, a pure black sword flew out of the star scabbard and slowly fell into his hand.
"Alas, even the Xuantian Sword still refuses to recognize me as its master."
"So I suspect you didn't communicate well with Tiandao at all."
Touching the black sword, Wei Changtian continued to mutter: "But it doesn't matter."
"I am now at the peak of the second level, and in a few months I will be able to break through to the first level, and even have a chance to become an immortal in the future."
"Are you a little envious?"
"But that's not necessarily the case. After all, Qin Zhengqiu and Chu Xianping both seem to want to become immortals."
"Come to think of it, I still think your protagonist halo is more useful than the system."
"Oh, by the way, I have avenged the three million people in Yuanzhou City."
"Ning Yongnian is dead, as are Yan Huanwen from Dajue, Lü Hongji from Dahui, and Jing Guoqing from Daqian. They are all dead."
"Well, after going through so much, I finally understand one thing."
"It seems that I will never be as aware as you are. I will always consider myself more when doing things."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm just an ordinary person."
"So I will do my best to make life better for ordinary people."
"If you really can't do it, then don't do it."
Shaking his head, picking up the clay bowl and taking another sip of wine, Wei Changtian patted his butt and stood up.
He looked up at the mountain top where he had fought with Xiao Feng, and casually inserted the Xuantian Sword diagonally into the soil in front of the nameless monument.
Half of the sword was buried in the ground, and the other half cast a shadow, falling obliquely on the stele.
"Okay, I should go back to celebrate the New Year."
"Xiao Feng, this should be the last time I come to see you."
"It's not that there is any special reason, it's mainly because of Lu Jingyao."
"Well, even though you two have no relationship for a long time, I still feel like I cheated on you."
"So that's it. I'll return the Xuantian Sword to you, and the remnant soul is still inside it."
"If you really have a soul, you can talk to him, and you won't be too lonely."
"I'm leaving."
After taking one last look at the nameless monument, Wei Changtian turned around and walked down the mountain through the forest.
The small grave was covered with fallen leaves. The black sword slanted in front of the grave stood motionless, quietly watching the figure walking away.
After the floating clouds parted, ten years passed.
Whether it was Xiao Feng who had died long ago, or Wei Changtian who was still alive, they both went their separate ways at this sunny noon.
And several years later, another young man whose name is unknown but most likely has an ordinary appearance will come here by chance and draw the sword.
Then he will take this sword with him to travel the world, eliminate evil and become a world-famous knight.
Just like the sword's former owners.
"Changtian, where have you been?"
When Wei Changtian returned to the mansion, everyone had packed up and were waiting for him to come back before setting off.
While directing Wei Qiaoling and the others to get on the bus, Xu Qingwan asked in confusion, "Why didn't you tell me when you left? I almost had to ask someone to carry the luggage back."
"I thought I'd be back soon, so I didn't tell you."
Wei Changtian smiled and unconsciously glanced at Lu Jingyao who was not far away: "I just went to see an old friend."
"Old friend? Who?"
"You don't know him."
"Oh, let's go then?"
"Well, let's go."
Nodding, Wei Changtian bent down and got into the carriage, and Xu Qingwan also got into a car at the back and sat down.
There was no need to lock the door as there were still many servants in the mansion.
However, since the masters had all left, several doormen closed the vermilion door after everyone got on the car, and hung a small wooden sign "No Guests Allowed" on the eaves of the door.
"Gurgle"
The wheels rolled over the road, and the long convoy drove out of the alley. Bursts of laughter and joy rang out from each carriage.
As soon as Xu Qingwan got in the car, she took out her account book and started to calculate the accounts, with the abacus making a crackling sound.
While fighting the devil, Lu Jingyao, Qiuyun and Yuan'er were discussing the courtyard they had not returned to for a long time and the interesting things that had happened there.
Wei Qiaoling was describing the prosperity of the capital city to Agou and Achun with great joy, completely unaware that the current capital city of Daning is no longer comparable to Shuzhou city.
Wei Changtian continued to tirelessly ask Xiao Hongsu to call him daddy, which made Liang Qin giggle at the sight.
The laughter and conversations melted into the sky above the bustling Shuzhou City, turning into a cloud in the sky. When the wind blew, it drifted away to a farther place.
