Chapter 370 [Ye Fan’s illegitimate son Ye Tong]
The Taoist ancestral temple, the head priest of Mount Longhu, has been having a bad time recently. With his cultivation level of an immortal, he should have been the dominant force on Earth in the Dharma Ending Age, if not the only one, and at least he would have dominated one side, and his life was extremely comfortable.
But the peaceful life was broken a few days ago. A fairy named Taiyin descended from the sky and sent out invitations to heroes on behalf of his teacher. He planned to hold the Luotian Grand Ceremony on Mount Longhu, inviting heroes from all over the earth to participate.
1: Challenge the Old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain
2: Discuss the future of the spiritual practice community and solve the problem of the Dharma Ending Age.
Three: To establish the Heavenly Court and unify the world.
The old leader of Mount Longhu wanted to refuse at first. Such a big thing, whether it succeeded or not, would be enough to overturn Mount Longhu.
But when Jiang Tingting showed that her cultivation was not inferior to that of the old headmaster, the contemporary Heavenly Master took a deep breath and realized in his heart that he could not refuse this matter.
If the disciples all have this level of ability, then what about the teacher? Could it be that he is a great master comparable to the ancient masters? !
"How could there be such a person in the Dharma Ending Age?"
The old Taoist priest was worried. More than ten years ago, nine dragons pulled the coffin and the ancestral altar of Mount Tai appeared, which led to a battle among powerful masters. The last dust-free ancestor of their Mount Longhu was born, and after suppressing the universe, he died of old age.
Today's Longhu Mountain is simply not qualified to refuse the request of a person with great supernatural powers. The contemporary Heavenly Master summoned the seniors in the sect to discuss and find a solution.
"Could it be that he is an old senior who has been in seclusion for a thousand years and has just broken through to the realm of great power today?" An elder from Mount Longhu suspected, "He is so ambitious as soon as he came out of seclusion, and wants to unify the cultivation world. He wants to use Mount Longhu as an example to scare the monkeys."
"The spiritual energy has become increasingly thin in the past two thousand years. There are no such people in the world."
An old Taoist priest who had lived for a thousand years thought for a long time and said in deep thought: "Maybe it came from those two places?"
"Senior, are you talking about... Kunlun and Penglai?!" The contemporary old head of Longhu Mountain became solemn. According to the legend of the ancient star, there are two major fairyland places, Kunlun on the land and three mountains in the sea.
The former carries the hope of becoming an immortal, and countless great saints and quasi-emperors are eager to break into it. The latter has the legend of the elixir of immortality, and ancient emperors often sent ships across the sea to seek the elixir of life, so it is extremely famous.
West Kunlun and East Penglai, in the Dharma Ending Age, only these two places can give birth to extraordinary things. The cultivators there are otherworldly and otherworldly, like immortals.
Little did they know that the immortals mentioned by the monks of Mount Longhu are now wandering in the big city, eating stinky tofu while waiting for their milk tea, looking very uncomfortable.
However, he was dressed in ancient clothes, with long black hair and a jade hairpin. He was eye-catching in Beidou's daily dress. A cultivator is extraordinary and otherworldly. After absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, his ordinary appearance will make him look like an immortal.
I don’t know how many people came up to me and asked for my contact information, and some even wanted to recruit him to act in a movie.
Then, they were all ruthlessly driven away by Jiang Tingting.
Looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic and modern technology, Lin Xian felt familiar yet unfamiliar. He sighed, "Before I traveled through time, I was still a cow and horse studying medicine, studying the Lingshu..."
Ye Fan thought that the time travel that Lin Xian mentioned was referring to the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, so he didn't pay much attention to it and echoed: "Before the interstellar travel, I was also reading the Su Wen chapter, but I didn't expect that there was a Ji family in Beidou, and there was even a Void Emperor!"
"The past ten years in Beidou have been more exciting than our previous lives. Our joys and sorrows, our friends and relatives, and even our enemies are all on that star."
Lin Xian looked up at the sky, very seriously, as if trying to find the Big Dipper. He whispered, "Cause and effect are entangled, involving too many things. Which one do you think is our home, the Earth or the Big Dipper?"
"Hundreds or even thousands of years later, I might care more about Beidou." Ye Fan was silent for a moment, exhaled a long breath, and sighed: "Now the Earth is my hometown."
"Then why don't you go back?" Lin Xian asked puzzledly.
"I am afraid of going back home." Ye Fan whispered, feeling very uneasy. Time flies. After more than ten years of hardship, he finally came back, but could he still see his parents? Would all his efforts be in vain? At this moment, he was extremely worried and afraid.
In this world, time is the most terrifying thing. It can erase everything and change everything!
"What are you worried about? Only ten years have passed." Lin Xian said calmly, "It is extremely difficult to extend the life of an emperor, and there are not many ways to extend the life of a mortal."
“Physical aging can be reversed, but spiritual trauma can never be compensated.” Ye Fan sighed. He disappeared in ten years, which was equivalent to death. Losing a son in middle age and seeing a young person die is a great tragedy in life. It is conceivable how much pain it brought to his parents.
They were so unwilling to stay in their hometown, fearing that the scene would bring back memories, that they finally chose to leave the place full of memories and moved to the old courtyard house with the help of Ye Fan's friend Xu Qiong.
Ye Fan looked into the distance and just saw his father returning home.
"Where is Old Ye going?" The neighbor took his grandson's hand and greeted Ye's father.
Father Ye had a head full of silver hair. He was only about sixty years old, but he couldn't straighten his back. Looking at the lively child, his eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. He smiled slightly and said, "I just came back from buying vegetables. Come, grandpa will treat you to pears."
The little boy hid behind his grandfather. He was very shy and didn't dare to take the gift. He just held his grandfather's hand tightly.
"Hurry up and say thank you, Grandpa Ye..." The old neighbor taught his grandson with a smile. The scene was very heartwarming.
After a brief greeting, Ye's father clenched his fists and hobbled back to the old courtyard.
Seeing all this, Ye Fan's eyes turned red. He wanted to rush forward to hug his father, but he was afraid of scaring him. He was even more afraid that what he saw was an illusion, and in fact his parents had already disappeared and he was too late.
"It's a simple matter for the mental trauma." Lin Xian smiled calmly, standing with his hands behind his back, and said, "I have a plan that can give these two old people a new life."
"What plan?!" Ye Fan was shocked, and then said urgently: "Saint Lord, as long as you can do it, I will agree to anything you do on the ancient star of Honghuang."
"Of course it depends on love." Lin Xian laughed and said proudly, "The power of love is infinite."
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and instinctively felt that Saint Lin was unreliable. How could something like love have power? But in this situation, the power of love seemed to be lacking.
"Just watch me operate."
Lin Xian said calmly, picked up Ye Tong, who was like a little sun, from Jiang Tingting's arms, and then knocked on the door of the Ye family.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Who is it? They're here." An equally old woman in an apron opened the door and was stunned at first when she saw Lin Xian, who looked like an immortal in a painting. Then her attention was attracted by Ye Tong.
Little Ye Tong was very smart. Unlike ordinary babies, she knew that the old woman in front of her was worthy of being approached, so she waved her arms, which were as big as white radishes, and babbled, "Grandma, hug me..."
Mother Ye came back to her senses, looked at little Ye Tong with pity, and asked with a smile: "Whose child is this? Who are you looking for?" "This child is named Ye Tong, Ye Fan's illegitimate child." Lin Xian said calmly: "We are here to find you at Ye Fan's request."
"Ye Tong? Ye Fan!" Ye's mother was stunned at first, then her face was full of disbelief, and she murmured: "Xiao Fan, how is it possible? He has been gone for a long time. He... where is he..."
"It's right there." Lin Xian smiled calmly and pointed at the young man not far away. He looked just like yesterday, and his appearance was just like he did ten years ago, Ye Fan was even a little younger!
"Dad, Mom!" Ye Fan choked with tears and rushed forward to hug his mother tightly. His father also rushed over after hearing the noise. Looking at this scene, his arms trembled and the vegetable leaves in his hands fell to the ground.
The family was reunited, and Lin Xian and his party were also welcomed into the courtyard.
As for Ye Fan's whereabouts, Lin Xian explained that he was taken away by the gods to a fairy sect called Tianxuan to practice. As the saying goes, there is no time in the mountains, and ten years of practice and seclusion passed in the blink of an eye.
Nan Ke's Dream and Lan Ke's Game of Chess are widely circulated legends, which are in line with the impression of the Chinese elders on cultivating immortals.
Especially after Lin Xian demonstrated his magical powers, this story was instantly accepted by Ye's father and mother.
"Are you also a disciple of Tianxuan Xianmen?" Father Ye looked at the equally young Lin Xian and asked curiously.
Jiang Tingting on the side smiled and said, "My master is the Holy Lord Tianxuan, who is in charge of the great sect."
Father Ye was immediately stunned by her beauty, thinking of the many immortals in myths and legends who had the appearance of boys. Could it be that the Lin Xian in front of him was also an old immortal who had lived for more than a thousand years and had the secret of maintaining his youth?
The Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers have existed since ancient times. The dignity of teachers has been deeply engraved in the bones of the Chinese people. Father Ye quickly stood up and called Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, how can you neglect your teacher like this? Go and make some tea!"
On the other side, Ye Fan, who was trying hard to explain to his mother that he was Ye Tong's adopted son, not an illegitimate child, was slightly stunned and stood up very reluctantly.
"Go quickly." Ye's mother urged, and then ignored her son and took care of Ye Tong wholeheartedly. The more she looked at Ye Tong, the more she felt that he was similar to Ye Fan when he was a child. For a moment, she smiled happily and her wrinkles were smoothed out a lot.
Whether he is an adopted son or an illegitimate son, he is her grandchild.
For a moment, the gap created by Ye Fan's absence of ten years was instantly filled by little Ye Tong. The old courtyard was filled with laughter and joy, as warm as the one that took care of Ye Fan when he was a child, as if time had not moved forward ten years, but went back ten years.
“Xiao Ye.” Lin Xian took advantage of the situation and said pretentiously, “Remember to use the sacred spring water to make tea. I won’t drink tea that is not made from enlightenment tea. Remember to sprinkle more sun and moon essence…”
Ye Fan's face darkened. Under the urging of his parents, he gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple will obey the law!"
The reason for using the divine spring water is that Ye's father and mother are old and frail, and need to be reborn and prolong their lives. The effects of other elixirs and magic drugs are too strong and it is easy for them to be unable to be replenished. Only the divine spring is the source of life and creation, and even mortals can be nourished by it.
As for the enlightenment tea, Lin Xian simply wanted to empty Ye Fan’s small private treasury.
The Lord of Heaven in Puppet is still the Lord of Heaven. In the ten years in Beidou, Ye Fan has no idea how many good things he has collected.
If gold coins don’t pop up now, when will they?
The Sun's True Fire Enlightenment Tea, the divine spring boils and the fragrance surges, a ray of light rushes out like a divine rainbow, brighter than the light of a lamp, illuminating the entire house.
If Jiang Tingting hadn't covered it up, the light would have spread across the entire street.
This kind of magical treasure, not to mention drinking a sip, even smelling it can help you live three or four more years.
"Dad, Mom, this is a kind of holy water I brought back from Beidou. Even the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty can hardly drink it. You can have a drink and try it."
Ye Fan served the tea carefully using a large bowl, fearing that the magical spring water would not work.
After taking a sip of tea, Ye's father and mother began to glow all over. In an instant, their grey hair turned black and they looked more than twenty years younger. All the wrinkles on their faces disappeared and the sea of suffering in their bodies roared. They were almost on the path of spiritual practice.
Looking at this scene, Ye Fan's heart finally settled down. Just when he was extremely happy, a familiar voice sounded.
"Ahem... Xiao Ye, where's my tea?" Lin Xian retreated tactically, acting like a saint.
"Please enjoy your tea, Your Majesty." Ye Fan smiled, picked up a small cup, and served the tea himself.
"Wonderful."
Lin Xian took a sip and immediately felt relaxed all over, as if he had eaten a nine-turn elixir. Throughout history, how many people have been able to receive tea from the Emperor of Heaven? Ten thousand years later, even the emperor would not have this qualification.
Jiang Tingting looked at the two childish men and was suddenly speechless, as if they were the younger ones. She couldn't help but shook her head, picked up a cup of tea, and sat quietly on the side, bathed in moonlight, like the Guanghan Fairy who had attained enlightenment.
Seven days later, Ye Fan's parents stabilized their cultivation realm, opened up the Sea of Bitterness, awakened the Fountain of Life, and became true practitioners.
If placed in Beidou, he would be a god who could turn into a rainbow and fly to the sky. However, the suppression from the Earth Avenue was too heavy. Not to mention the Life Spring, even the Dao Palace could not fly.
After embarking on the path of cultivation, Ye's father and mother seemed a little uncomfortable. Although if one person achieves enlightenment, all the family members will benefit greatly, they are so old and still need to rely on Ye Fan for cultivation.
Other parents are being supported by their parents, but they are actually supporting their children.
"Mom and Dad, don't be nervous. This kind of thing is common in the cultivation world." Ye Fan said meaningfully.
Saint Lin coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "The Luotian Grand Ceremony on Mount Longhu is about to begin. Why don't you take your parents to experience it together?"
When I win first place, I can give an acceptance speech – “My Son of the Emperor of Heaven”.
This Luotian Grand Ceremony is different from the previous conferences of cultivators. A person with great supernatural powers has sent a message that the ancient leader of the Tianxuan sect has come to the world and wants to unify the cultivation world.
Not only will the Quanzhen, Shangqing, Lingbao and Tianshidao sects be shaken, but even powerful demons will appear, such as the Great Xia Longque family, the Zhuhuang lineage, and even the Western Taoist traditions will be attracted to test the news from the Middle-earth.
Compared to the Taoist's trepidation, the demon clan was much more confident. There was even a disciple from the Great Xia Dragon Bird family who made a bold statement: "If any ancient leader dares to come, he will be defeated!"
The ancient figure, the ancestor of the Great Xia Dragon Bird Family has returned. With a great sage in charge, he is naturally invincible, looking down on all the heroes and extremely domineering.
There are even some disciples from side branches who want to take advantage of this Luotian Grand Ceremony to follow the example of Sect Leader Tianxuan and unify the world of cultivation.
