Chapter 829 Father and Mother’s Courtyard

As they walked further inside, suddenly a few birds flew over their heads, startling Glutinous Rice Ball beside them.

Just now, these birds may have mistaken her for one of their own kind, and they actually touched their wings with her before leaving.

"Wanwan! Help!" Nuomituan was used to living alone, and now she was in this mortal world, she was a little uncomfortable. She had finally adapted to having Qilin by her side, and the sudden appearance of this same kind scared her.

Every evening they looked up and saw a few colorful birds flying past them.

Seeing Nuomituan's panic-stricken look, Wanwan and Qionghua looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Even Qilin beside them grinned.

"You little coward, how can you protect your master?" Qilin raised his head and looked at the glutinous rice ball in the air with pride.

Only a strong and powerful body like mine can protect the master's safety. As for people like Nuomi Tuan, forget it.

I'm afraid that as her master, I have to protect her!

Nuomituan looked at them laughing, feeling angry and annoyed, and turned away angrily: "You have only lived a few years longer than I have."

"If I could live outside, I would definitely be able to surpass you." When she said this, Wanwan seemed to see her unyielding look.

However, this little glutinous rice ball used to like to change into a human form from time to time, but now, perhaps because he has been explained to them so many times, he has learned to restrain himself.

The closer they got to the courtyard, the more they felt that there seemed to be a unique spiritual energy in the air.

They also felt the refreshing breath of the spiritual spring behind them blowing towards their faces, making them feel a little cool.

Wanwan looked up at the courtyard not far away, then turned back to look at the spiritual spring behind her. She thought that her father and mother must be people who know how to enjoy life. The courtyard they chose must be the most comfortable place in the Tianji Sect.

It’s a pity that I didn’t live here for long.

Turning around again, they could already see the courtyard, now fully displayed before them. Although it had gone through the baptism of time, it was still clear that this courtyard had once been very glorious.

Although it is a little mottled, it can be seen that the courtyard is also carved from exquisite stones, which shows that the craftsmen at that time put a lot of thought into it.

And that door, like any door in the mortal world, seemed to be made of some kind of wood, but Wanwan could not tell what it was made of.

Although the color has faded a bit, you can still see its former glory.

The copper ring on the door seemed to be covered with dust, but I didn't know if it was rusty now.

Looking to the side, I could see that cracks had appeared on the courtyard wall and many parts had collapsed.

Lu Xing took a step forward and touched the gate with her hand. She was quite cautious. Along the way, every gate had been blocked by her father and mother, and now the one closest to their courtyard was bound to be unavoidable.

The most important thing was that Lu Xingwan was still worried. She was afraid that if she used a little more force, this wooden door that had been abandoned for a long time would collapse in an instant.

She carefully placed her hand on the door, as if she was touching a precious work of art.

Fortunately, the situation she worried about did not happen. As she moved her hands, the door made a dull sound and slowly opened.

As the door opened, another breath of air blew towards me.

However, what Wanwan did not expect was that the breath blowing in from behind the door did not have a trace of decadence.

It must be said that this courtyard is indeed in a dilapidated state, but unlike the previous ones, the dilapidation here is probably due to the desolate state caused by the passage of time.

There was no sign of being burned by fire.

I think my father and mother must have tried their best to protect this place, so it was not affected by the fire.

Looking at the ground in the yard, it should be paved with some kind of stone. Lu Xingwan couldn't even name this stone. It seemed that he knew too little.

But now the ground is full of cracks and stains.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a huge fountain. Although it has dried up now, leaving only a dilapidated pool with a lot of fallen leaves piled up in it, one can still imagine what it looked like in the past.

There are some exotic flowers and plants around the fountain, which have not been affected. They are still colorful and seem to have some fragrance emanating from them.

There are also tall columns around the courtyard, on which there should be some exquisite reliefs. Although they are covered with dust now, it seems that they must have been very luxurious in the past.

I didn’t expect that my father and mother actually knew how to enjoy life.

However, the curtains between the pillars were already tattered and hanging to the side.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally a small pavilion in the corner of the yard. The pavilion seems to be carved out of stone. Although it has not been damaged, it can hardly hide the traces of time.

Not to mention the shape of the pavilion, one can already tell it is unusual. Most importantly, the top of the pavilion is cast from gemstone.

Now under the sunlight, it still sparkles.

This made Lu Xingwan feel dazed for a moment. This gem, like the pavilion, had gone through the baptism of time, but now, it still shone with its original brilliance.

Just like the Tianji Sect, although it suffered heavy damage, its glory will never be concealed.

This further strengthened Lu Xingwan's determination to revitalize the Tianji Sect.

Looking forward, she saw the place where her parents once lived. Seeing the dilapidated door, Wanwan's heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

At this moment, the door stood there crookedly, as if it could fall down at any time.

Through the crack in the door, I could vaguely see the scene inside, but it was blurry.

Unknowingly, Lu Xingwan had slowly walked to the door. She stood there quietly, raised her hand to touch the door, but finally put her hand down.

She didn't have the courage to open the door.

She knew that this place must be filled with traces of her father and mother's past lives, and perhaps also traces of her own life. She was afraid that once she opened this door, she would be reminded of the times when her father and mother had lived there.

She was afraid that these simple memories would make her feel uncomfortable.

Although she knew that she would have to face these things sooner or later, she would rather let the memories stay here.

She stood quietly in front of the door for a long time without opening her mouth or saying a word.

Qionghua could naturally understand her feelings.

He just stayed beside her, without going forward or interrupting her thoughts.
