Chapter 22 Tomb Sweeping, Worship

After seeing off Guan Shanyue and Guan Zhan, the two returned to the inn room.

Ling Yunpo fell into concentration quickly, but An Zhisu was a little confused and couldn't calm down.

She felt something was wrong with herself.

In the past, if Ling Yunpo wanted to leave Qingluo Peak, although she would be sad and painful, she would not force him to stay.

Because the reason is obvious: there is no master in the Qingluofeng lineage.

If there is no teacher and no attention from the sect, what is the difference between it and casual cultivators?

In addition, Junior Brother Ling has the qualification of "natural sword bone", so there is no need to be trapped in Qingluo Peak.

Not to mention anything else, there were two solicitations coming to my door.

Once it was Ziyun Peak, and once it was the ancestor of the Guan family. Although I was heartbroken at that time, I was still willing to let my junior brother make his own choice.

If my junior brother wants to fly away, no matter how reluctant I am to leave him, I will not force him to stay.

However, when she just heard Guan Shanyue say that Guan Zhan had defected to Kunlun, she subconsciously thought about what would happen if her junior brother left. The first thought that came to her mind was to teach him a lesson like Guan Shanyue did and force him to do so.

He changed his mind and left him at Qingluo Peak.

After all, Guan Zhan was born in the Guan family, and his bloodline was here, so Guan Shanyue could not bear his betrayal.

But Junior Brother Ling...what kind of identity do you think you have, that you would actually have the overbearing thought of forcing him to leave?

Thinking of this, An Zhisu felt a little worried.

It was as if he suddenly discovered that he was no longer the same person as before.

I was upset all night. When I woke up the next day, I naturally had dark circles under my eyes.

"Hey, senior sister." Ling Yunpo met her in the corridor and asked with concern, "Why do you look so haggard? Is it because you didn't enter samadhi last night?"

"It's okay." An Zhisu smiled helplessly and didn't answer. He just looked around and said, "It's probably less than half an hour from here to my hometown. Let's go."

The two of them left Jiankang City, looked for a deserted place, and then stood up with their swords in unison.

Crossing the Yangtze River, turning to the northeast, we soon arrived at an old village in the mountains.

The village is located in the mountains. Although transportation is inconvenient, it can avoid military disasters when the world is in chaos. Therefore, it is very peaceful and quiet, and has not changed much for hundreds of years.

"We will enter the village quietly later without letting the villagers see us." An Zhisu looked at the houses in the valley in the distance and said softly.

"Why?" Ling Yunpo asked curiously, "After so many years, do they still recognize senior sister?"

"I come back every ten years, and there's always someone I recognize." An Zhisu sighed, "It's better to do less than to do more."

Ling Yunpo let out a cry, and immediately understood in his heart.

People who practice Taoism often choose to keep a low profile when walking in the world, trying not to reveal their identity.

Probably because it was seen by mortals, a lot of people came to ask for immortality and medicine, which was very troublesome.

The situation like An Zhisu's is even more special. Her mother is buried here. It is not convenient to move the tomb, so she can only rely on the villagers to take care of her.

In this way, it would be difficult to alienate the villagers. After all, the senior sister is not the kind of unsympathetic person.

The two of them quietly walked around in a circle and came to the hill behind the village, where they saw large and small graves on the hillside.

The tomb of An Zhisu's mother is located on the top of the highest mountain.

Landing in front of the tomb, Ling Yunpo took a closer look and found that there was a lot of dust and fallen leaves around the tomb, but the weeds were not growing much. Someone should have swept the tomb here a few months ago.

He made a spell and activated the Dao spell on the Qingping Sword, and the water sword energy like rain flew past, sweeping away all the dust, fallen leaves and weeds in front of the grave.

An Zhisu took out the sacrifices, chickens, ducks, fish and geese, and the eight-treasure dry pot, and arranged them one by one in front of his mother's grave. He also took out an incense burner and lit sandalwood.

As a practitioner, you should not believe in these things.

After all, everyone knows that after death, the soul falls into the underworld and is reincarnated.

The senior sister came here to offer sacrifices now because the ritual significance was greater than the practical significance, so Ling Yunpo also helped take out the futon and put it down in front of the tombstone.

However, An Zhisu waved his hand and did not go to get the futon. Instead, he knelt down directly on the bluestone slab. After Yingying bowed and paid homage, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and began to pray to his deceased mother.

Ling Yunpo saw her lips moving slightly, which was exactly the same as "praying to the master" in Qingluo Peak, and secretly thought to himself whether the master could hear her, I don't know, but your mother must not be able to hear her.

Anyway, I'm just asking for comfort...

His eyes fell on the tombstone, and suddenly he became distracted.

I don't know how gentle and beautiful this master's wife An Susu was in life, but she could actually make Su Jian have such a high-minded and disowned temperament. She was forced to change from the flow of forgetfulness to the flow of cultivation and inquiry, which shocked almost the entire Shu Mountain.

Take a closer look at Senior Sister An's side face. With such a delicate and beautiful face, combined with the Su Jian who appeared in the secret realm of the palace, he is a middle-aged handsome guy. Thinking about it, this Senior Sister's appearance is probably not that bad.

go.

An Zhisu finished praying here, opened her eyes and stood up, her face turned red for some reason, and she didn't know what she said to her mother.

"Junior brother," she said gently, "Okay, let's go back."

"Senior sister, I was entrusted by someone to go to Kuaiji County when I have time." Ling Yunpo said tentatively, "I happened to be in Yangzhou this time, so I wanted to finish the matter first before returning to Shushan."

"Okay." An Zhisu nodded, "I'll go with you."

Here we are, this is my senior sister! Ling Yunpo was very moved.

How could Junior Sister Xu, Miss Shi and Witch Jiang agree so easily without asking anything?

Only my senior sister, who has unreserved trust in me, would readily agree to go with me.

"Before I leave, there is one more thing to do." An Zhisu suddenly said.

She and Ling Yunpo turned into sword lights, flew towards the village one after the other, and quickly landed in the backyard of a certain house.

There was a woman dressed as a peasant woman in the backyard. She was feeding chickens when she suddenly saw someone falling from the sky. She was so frightened that she almost screamed.

On the contrary, the old woman beside her reacted quickly enough, took her into her arms and covered her mouth.

"How are you, Madam Gui?" An Zhisu nodded in greeting.

"Well, well, well." The old woman said with a smile, "Lao An has gone out, will the immortal stay here for a meal and a short rest?"

"Who is this?" An Zhisu did not answer, but looked at the strange-looking woman next to him.

"My daughter-in-law has been here for about five or six years." The old woman quickly explained, "The Immortal comes once every ten years. She had no chance to meet him before, but this time she almost bumped into the Immortal. Sorry, sorry..."

"It's okay." An Zhisu took out the elixir bottle from his sleeve, which is a relatively common "turbidity elixir" used in monastic sects to regulate the body, and placed it on the ground, "I would also like to thank the village chief for his kindness to my mother over the years.

The care over there.”

"No thanks, no thanks." The old woman waved her hand and said, but her eyes were fixed on the pill bottle on the ground, "After all, they are all from our village and have the same surname, so we should take care of them."

"Since the village chief is not here, I will leave." An Zhisu turned around and said, "Junior brother?"

"Well, let's go." Ling Yunpo nodded.

The two of them once again rose into the sky with their swords and disappeared.

The woman finally broke free from her mother-in-law's arms, picked up the elixir bottle on the ground, and said hesitantly:

"Mom, this..."

"Give it to me!" The old woman snatched the elixir bottle, first confirmed that there was indeed elixir inside, and then solemnly warned, "Except for your father-in-law and me, no one else can say anything about this! Including

Your husband and those careless uncles and nephews!"

"I see." The woman also understood and said excitedly, "Could it be an elixir in there?"
