Chapter 661 Not Xuanyu
His legs and hands were shaking, he failed to draw in his Qi, and could not practice fasting. He was so tired that he could not even lift his chopsticks.
Many times, he climbed down the mountain. Even so, he still had to force himself to go to the kitchen, cook some delicious meals, and send them to Lu Chaochao's cave.
It was not until half a year later that he was able to successfully draw qi into his body.
His level of hard work is one of the best in the entire Sword Sect.
Fortunately, after he succeeded in drawing in the qi, he demonstrated extraordinary understanding and was accepted into Wuwang Mountain.
His path of cultivation was extremely difficult.
"Will you feel sad?" Xuan Yu suddenly asked.
Lu Chaochao's eyes widened immediately: "Feeling sorry? Of course I feel sorry! My palms and backs are all made of flesh, which of you disciples wouldn't feel sorry for me?"
"Once a teacher, always a father, well, a mother. Am I half your mother?"
"You refuse to call me Master all day long. If you don't mind, you can just call me Mother?" Lu Chaochao was a little hesitant. Okay, there's no difference between Mother and Master anyway.
As he spoke, Xuan Yu's face suddenly turned dark.
He walked on in silence and refused to speak again.
Lu Chaochao touched his nose and looked headached. Xuan Yu was moody and often gave her a cold look.
Who else could be as frustrated as her master?
The two of them walked in silence until they reached the intersection of the spirit world and the demon world, a place called Guqiao Town.
Sixteen years ago, the demon world attacked, leaving Guqiao Town littered with corpses and devastated. After more than ten years of recuperation, it is now gradually regaining its former prosperity.
Lu Chaochao stood on the street corner, surrounded by the shouts of people.
She likes mortals very much and likes the worldly atmosphere.
She took Xuanyu to revisit the old place, bought a lot of food, and finally arrived at Lingping Village.
Barefoot children were chasing each other outside the village.
Some people drove ox carts to the town.
The elderly people sat under the big banyan tree, smoking their pipes and chatting about family matters.
Seeing a handsome man like a banished immortal appear in the village, they all stopped to take a peek. Seeing them stop in front of the dilapidated house, everyone was a little curious.
Children also gathered around, secretly looking at the two strangers.
"Go and pay your respects to them." Lu Chaochao said.
Xuan Yu nodded lightly, then knelt on the ground, tore the paper devoutly, and then lit it. He took out another offering from his storage bag...
The villagers were surprised and informed the village chief that an immortal had come to the village.
When the old village chief came over trembling with his walking stick, Xuan Yu had already finished the worship.
"I am the village chief of Lingping Village, and I am here to meet you, Immortal Lord. Immortal Lord, you are so honored to be here, but what is the important matter? If you need my help, I will do my best." The old village chief was followed by many villagers.
Lu Chaochao could see the fear in their eyes and immediately comforted them, "Don't be afraid, old man."
"We are disciples of the Sword Sect. I, as a disciple, have come here today to pay tribute to my deceased parents."
When the village chief heard this, he immediately felt relieved and even became more enthusiastic.
Disciples of the Sword Sect are often out fighting demons and defending the way. When the demons invaded, the Sword Sect also helped resist the attack.
In the spiritual world, there is Lu Chaochao's sword sect, who is highly respected by the people.
"So you are the young master from the Sword Sect. My apologies." Everyone bowed to her.
"You... are the villagers of Lingping Village?" Lu Chaochao remembered that the village was massacred and there was hardly a single survivor.
"Young master, there are no indigenous people in Lingping Village. They are all dead... We fled here and settled down. This young master is actually a child who escaped from the village by chance? How come I have never heard of him?" The old village chief was quite emotional and even a little surprised.
"I just happened to rescue him and brought him back to the Sword Sect to practice."
The village chief sighed: "It's a blessing in disguise."
"Oh, please ask Aunt Tao to come and have a look."
"Aunt Tao is the native resident of Lingping Village. She escaped the disaster that day because she went back to her mother's home. She has been guarding her home all these years and is unwilling to leave. Please ask her to come and have a look..." The village chief was quite surprised, and a diligent little boy ran out to call for help on the spot.
When the little girl came over holding the white-haired woman, Lu Chaochao couldn't help but take out two spirit stones and give them to the little girl.
The little girl was so happy that she grinned.
The woman looked to be only in her forties or fifties, but her hair was full of white and she looked quite weathered.
"Aunt Tao is also a miserable person. When she went back to her parents' home, the whole village was massacred. Her father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband, brother-in-law, sons and daughters were all killed. Her hair turned white overnight. She was also a little crazy and not quite normal."
At this moment, Aunt Tao heard that there were still survivors in the village, and she ran over anxiously and hurriedly, with tears in her eyes.
Seeing the two people who looked like banished immortals, he paused slightly.
Her hair was disheveled and she tilted her head to look at Xuan Yu curiously.
"Little Immortal, what's your name?" Aunt Tao's voice was hoarse, and she looked at him with eyes full of expectation and caution.
Xuan Yu lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I am the young grandson of the Xuan family, Xuan Yu."
"My father sent me to the town to study when I was six years old, and I only came back to the village during festivals. Aunt Tao, do you still remember me?"
He raised his head and looked at Aunt Tao calmly.
Aunt Tao tilted her head slightly and murmured, "Xuan Yu...Xuan Yu...scholar..."
After mumbling a few words, he laughed and said, "Yes, yes, the Xuan family does have a little grandson named Xuan Yu. I heard that he has a good memory, so he was sent to the town to study early."
"The Xuan family has always treated it like a treasure, Xuan Yu..."
"There are only two of us left in the village..." Aunt Tao suddenly burst into tears, went forward, hugged Xuanyu and cried heartbreakingly.
Xuan Yu paused slightly, lowered his head, and his shoulders seemed to twitch slightly.
"Okay, okay, the boy from the Xuan family is very lucky. He has been practicing with the immortal for these years, so he has a good ending." The village chief stepped forward and advised.
It took Aunt Tao a while to calm down.
"How does she live now?" Xuan Yu asked in a hoarse voice, looking at Aunt Tao.
"She is also a poor person. Her parents' home is in the next village, but she doesn't want to go back and just stays at home. The whole village takes care of her all the time..." After all, they are all outsiders who occupied the houses in the village. We should always take some care of it.
Perhaps Xuanyu was afraid that Aunt Tao would be bullied, so he gave a lot of things to Lingping Village and asked Lingping Village to take good care of Aunt Tao.
"Aunt Tao, you and I are the only ones left in the village, so we should support each other."
"This is Xuanyu's voice-transmitting jade pendant. Aunt Tao, please keep it. You can always come to Xuanyu for help if you have any problems." He handed the jade pendant to Aunt Tao.
Seeing that he valued Aunt Tao, everyone couldn't help but pay more attention to her. Even the village chief looked at Aunt Tao with some excitement.
A village would be much better if there were immortals looking after it.
What’s more, he is a disciple of the Sword Sect!
Moreover, he was wearing blue and white clothes, which was the attire of inner sect disciples.
After Lu Chaochao and Xuan Yu left, Aunt Tao stared at the jade pendant in a daze.
Suddenly...
She threw the jade pendant to the ground.
"No...no..." She shook her head frantically, looking terrified and panicked.
"Dead...dead, Xuanyu fell into the river after school and drowned..."
