Chapter 632 Leaving Homeland
Silently listening to Shu Sheng's account of his parents' comfortable life, Shu Han felt a little comforted in his heart. Shu Han also knew that with Shu Sheng's care and the elixir he had left behind, the two elders would definitely live the rest of their lives without illness or disaster.
But Shu Han still had to hear Shu Sheng say it himself before he could feel at ease.
"but……"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Shu Sheng's face, but he finally said: "Brother Big Tou, the two elders are still thinking about you. I dare not tell them the truth, for fear that they will worry about you." Shu Han nodded and said, "My son has traveled thousands of miles, my mother." Worry, it's better if you don't tell me. I will spend these hundred years in fear all the time. The world of cultivation is treacherous and dangerous. If I'm not careful, I will end up dead. I am afraid that I will be worried about not being able to eat, restless, and find it difficult to live a stable life.”
With that said, Shu Han took out the dish.
Seeing the delicate girl appearing out of thin air, Shu Sheng said in shock: "Brother Big Tou, is this?"
Shu Han touched Caitou's head and introduced: "This is Shu Yu. She and I have been dependent on each other for many years. We are not blood relatives but blood relatives. This time when I come back, I want to include her in my Shu family tree, which is considered official. I'm from the Shu family."
"Shu Yu...the weird look of the elf is quite like Shu Yun when he was a child. I will take care of this matter."
Shu Han nodded and said softly to Caitou: "Caitou, this is where the master lived when he was a child. Go and have a look." Caitou clapped his hands, jumped out of Shu Han's arms with a smile, and jumped up and down in the courtyard of the house. It was so funny joy.
Shu Sheng was old, and his face was filled with smiles when he saw such an elfin little girl.
"Brother Big Tou, it's been a hundred years, are you just going to make up for this female doll when you come back this time?"
Shu Han understood what he meant and laughed, but behind the smile was a deep lament.
"If it comes to that, there is indeed one more person who needs to be added to the family tree. Although she and I are not officially married, and my relationship with her cannot be publicly revealed for the time being, she will definitely be my Shu family's daughter-in-law when she returns this time."
Shu Sheng looked at the sparkle in Shu Han's eyes, patted Shu Han's shoulder with his old arm, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, but what name should I add to the family tree?"
Shu Han was about to say his full name, but after thinking about it carefully, he stopped.
"For the time being, let's enter the family tree with just the word Lin! After I clear all obstacles, I will personally take her back to Shuzhuang to pay homage to my parents."
Shu Sheng said in astonishment: "A single word is included in the family tree? But this girl's name is too involved and the matter is of great importance. Brother Big Touou, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it and it will implicate our Shu family."
Shu Han nodded.
Goudan, who has experienced one hundred and thirty-one years, is no longer the ignorant and ignorant young man he was at the time. As the saying goes, when he is forty, he will not be confused; when he is fifty, he will know his destiny; when he is sixty, his ears will be attuned; when he is seventy, he will follow his heart's desires.
Goudan lived a mundane life as a monk and never wasted his time on cultivation. After years of baptism, he is now a wise old man with a clear eye and understanding of world affairs.
Shu Han is now in the early stage of Yuanying. He has completed the magical power of self-transformation into Yuanying. He has nine seals in his body, a psychic remnant treasure and a chaotic fairy weapon. Many methods are enough for him to aspire to the lower world. However, facing the Taiyun Sect mentioned by Shangguan Ruolin, Shu Han still felt unsure.
Shu Han of the Taiyun Sect didn't know the details, but the strength of the Taiyun Sect was evident in the fact that the Tianque Sect, which was a first-rate force in Dayun, was willing to cultivate his daughter as a cauldron.
Back then, Shangguan Ruolin had a three-hundred-year agreement with him. Now that Shu Han thought about it, the so-called three-hundred-year agreement was just Shangguan Ruolin's words to comfort him. Or maybe it was the deadline Shangguan Ruolin gave him.
At that time, Shu Han was only in the early stage of foundation building. According to common sense, it would be a fantasy to advance from foundation building to the Nascent Soul stage in three hundred years. Shu Han knew that if he did not travel to the heaven, even with the blessing of the black jar, he would not be sure to reach Nascent Soul within three hundred years. Because after reaching the golden elixir, the improvement of cultivation level caused by elixirs and other foreign objects is greatly reduced, and the black pot has less use.
This three-hundred-year agreement is more like Shangguan Ruolin's expectations for herself.
After entering the Immortal Realm, she cleansed her state of mind, balanced her dual skills, and became aspiring to become the Nascent Soul. In three hundred years, if she progresses smoothly, she will indeed be able to reach Nascent Soul.
Shu Han couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, his heart filled with thoughts for Shangguan Ruolin.
Shu Sheng understood Shu Han's eyes from the side. He nodded silently and said, "Brother Big Tou, you must have been through a lot of suffering these years. Although you went home first, your heart has already flown elsewhere. Come on, let’s go to the ancestral graves to pay homage, and then you can go wherever you want, Brother Big Tou!”
Shu Han sighed: "When my parents were alive, I never fulfilled my filial piety for them. When I come back this time, I plan to guard the graves of my parents and Erdan's parents."
But after hearing this, Shu Sheng retorted: "The dead have long passed away, and there are so many things in this world, the living should be the most important! Brother Big Tou, I am old and I don't have many years to live. This makes me understand that the living Don’t remember the deceased too much. You saved my life back then, and I have already treated you and Erdan as my biological parents. I will be filial to you and Erdan, so you can leave with peace of mind.”
Shu Han couldn't help but smile bitterly after listening to the old man's advice.
"Goudan is no longer the Goudan he used to be. Well, let me listen to you. Thank you for taking care of me over the years. I am very grateful."
Shu Sheng smiled and said, "Brothers never express gratitude."
Shu Han waved: "It's time to leave Caitou!"
The cabbage gurgled out and stuffed its sticky hands into its mouth. The maltose paste on its face made it look like a mess. She jumped into Shu Han's arms, smiled happily, and said hesitantly: "Master, candy, it's delicious!"
In Shu Han's eyes, Cai Tou looked like his younger sister back then. Shu Han remembered that when he left Shu Manor, he promised to bring a lot of maltose for his younger sister. Now, there is as much maltose as he wants, but the old people who eat maltose are gone.
Shu Han's heart suddenly couldn't hold it anymore. His eyes were filled with tears unconsciously. He hugged Cai Tou tightly and trembled silently. Cai Tou was terrified and kept patting Shu Han and said, "Master, be good, master, don't cry."
Shu Sheng also sighed on the side.
"I asked someone to put this maltose. When my younger sister became an adult, she no longer liked to eat candy, but she would often look at the maltose and think deeply. But she lived a happy life, big brother, you can rest assured."
...
After that, Shu Han followed Shu Sheng to the ancestral tomb to worship. Shu Han and Cai Tou knelt for three days.
Three days later, Shu Han and Cai Tou participated in the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the ancestral lineage hosted by Shu Sheng. The names of Shu Yu and Lin were officially added to the Shu family tree. Shu Han didn't like publicity, so this event was held in secret without letting the tribe members to see it.
Afterwards, Shu Han officially set off to bid farewell to Shu Zhuang.
Shu Sheng floated in the air to see him off. Shu Han still wanted to build a foundation for Shu Sheng to prolong his life, but Shu Sheng still declined.
"If that's the case, there will be no chance to see you again next time, Goudan."
Shu Sheng smiled calmly and said, "All good things must come to an end. If there is no chance to see you again, let's send each other our thoughts. Big Brother, we'll say goodbye in this life."
Shu Han bowed respectfully, left some protective talismans for the Shu clan, and then turned into a stream of light and left Canglang Mountain.
