C9 Absence of the Lonelytomb

Little Xiang Nan opened her eyes, only to see that the sky was already bright, and the sun was shining in from outside the window. He narrowed his eyes a few times before slowly getting used to the light.

"Mm …" "Grandpa …" Ye Zichen called out habitually, but he didn't hear the usual familiar footsteps enter the room. The little head tilted, "Eh? "It doesn't seem like he is in a wooden house?" With both eyes rubbing hard, his mind immediately cleared up. Only now did he remember that he and his grandfather had already come to the Wu Yi Mountain yesterday. He also remembered that he was here to see his mother! He was immediately excited. At this time, he also clearly heard a familiar voice from outside, talking and laughing loudly. He quickly jumped off the bed and put on his clothes. He ran out of the room.

It turned out that the little guy had been continuously running for five days and five nights, let alone inside the carriage! Even adults get tired, not to mention a ten-year-old. After eating a bowl of rice last night, he fell asleep in his grandfather's arms. Today, Lin Xuanzi did not wake him up. He knew that he had to get a good night's sleep. In fact, it was already noon.

Little Xiang Nan pushed open the door with a bang, then immediately ran towards the living room, calling out "grandpa" as she ran. At this moment, only Lin Xuanzi and Yang Chentian were in the living room chatting. Hearing the little guy's cry, he knew that he had woken up. They all stopped talking and turned around.

Xiang was only five steps away from her grandfather when she saw him suddenly standing there, unable to take another step forward. She rubbed the corner of her clothes and stared at Lin Xuanzi with her big eyes.

"Eh? Nan Nan, come here, come here... Come... This is Uncle Zhang, you can't remember? We just arrived yesterday... "Hmm?" When Lin Xuanzi saw the little guy's expression, he thought it was because he lacked life (unfamiliar). He stretched out his right hand and beckoned the little guy over. Unexpectedly, the little guy stuck his head back and looked as if he wanted to step back. His two small hands were holding the hem of his clothes as he stared straight at Lin Xuanzi. He just couldn't come over. Lin Xuanzi was perplexed as he was about to get up and pull him. Hearing Yang Chentian laugh, Lin Xuanzi turned around to look. He saw Yang Chentian pointing at Lin Xuanzi's face while laughing, and with his other hand, he pretended to stroke his beard. Lin Xuanzi suddenly smacked his own head with his left hand and laughed out loud. It turned out that the beard on Lin Xuanzi's face had disappeared! At this moment, it was a middle-aged man who was the same age as Yang Chentian. Although his attire did not change, he had sharp eyebrows and a tall nose. It would be strange if you said that Little Xiang Nan still recognized him.

It turned out that Lin Xuanzi was only 26 years old ten years ago, when Qing Feng went to protect him. In order to protect the Lin Family's incense burner, Lin Xuanzi, seeing that he was powerless, took advantage of the three friends from Peach Blossom Bamboo and besieged his brother and sister-in-law to pick up his nephew, who was almost two years old, and relying on his unparalleled qinggong skills, jumped off the Green Edge Cliff. The Imperial Secret Service believed that Lin Xuanzi would definitely die if he went there. After the enemy retreated, Lin Xuanzi returned to Green Edge Castle only to see flames soaring into the sky, corpses forming mountains on the ground, and rivers of blood flowing. Seeing this miserable scene, Lin Xuanzi's heart almost burst out of his chest, but he was even more worried to see his elder brother and sister-in-law become headless corpses! He could not help but kneel down on the mountaintop and bawl, he was in an extremely miserable state! He then spent half a night bringing all one hundred and seventy corpses of Green Edge Castle to the Peach Blossom Cave six miles east of the "Green Edge Cliff" and buried them properly. It was no wonder that even though Yang Chentian had been searching for half a month, there wasn't anyone around.

As for Lin Hongxue, her nephew, who was not even two years old yet, he developed congenital asthma at birth. Three days before the tragedy, her brother and her sister-in-law discussed how to take her nephew to Shaolin and begged him to use the Bone Ablutionary Scripture to save Xiao Hongxue. But he never expected to suffer such a disaster!

After all the arrangements had been made, in order to avoid running into the Imperial Secret Service on the road and being recognized, a little change of clothes was added. After that, he brought his nephew to Henan Shaofang Mountain. Relying on the relationship between the two brothers and Master Ku Chan, Little Red Blood received treatment from Master Ding. In less than two months, he had successfully eliminated the root of the disease.

Healing his nephew's illness, Lin Xuanzi went down the mountain and passed through Niuyang Town. He discovered that the residents here were living in peace, far from the war and were a good place to live. Thus, he decided to address his nephew as grandfather and grandson, inciting them to settle down in Niu Yang Town. They lived here for almost ten years! Until the accident.

At this moment, Lin Xuanzi understood why Little Xiang Nan didn't come over. He immediately laughed heartily, touched his sleeves, and took out the fake beard. He stuck it on his face and immediately returned to his original appearance. Then he turned around.

"Come, Nannan, come over here …"

This time, when Little Xiang Nan saw the familiar face, she wasn't as nervous as before. She even smiled, but it was a bashful smile. It was likely that she didn't know what had happened. However, he did not immediately come over. He looked at Yang Chentian and then at Lin Xuanzi. Lin Xuanzi stood up and took Little Xiang Nan's hand before slowly guiding him over. The little guy only lacked a lot of affection, and from time to time, his eyes would stare at Lin Xuanzi. Lin Xuanzi also completely understood what it meant to have no parents before he could even remember. From drinking milk to living with him, the little guy's memories had already deeply engraved the image of his grandfather in his mind. It was already good that the little guy didn't get scared by this sudden change in appearance. Lin Xuanzi did not say anymore. He had already decided that it would be better to stay in his current state for the time being. In the future, he would slowly guide him and let him get used to it.

"Hey, Yinzi, hurry up and prepare food for Yinan …" At this moment, Yang Chentian saw Little Xiang Nan slowly getting used to the situation and immediately ordered his wife to prepare food for him. They had just finished eating when Little Xiangnan got up.

"Alright …" Not long after she finished speaking, the madame came out with a large plate of food.

"Aiyo, hey …" Nan Nan is awake … Come and eat, ah, aunty left it for you, ah... Just when it was getting hot … "Aiyo, so obedient …" Lady Ying placed the dishes on the table and greeted Little Xiangnan enthusiastically. Her eyes were filled with love. Since Yang Chentian and his wife spoke for more than a decade without any children, they were overjoyed the first time they saw Little Xiang Nan. Lady Ying had watched the little fellow for half the night last night.

Little Xiang Nan was indeed hungry now. Looking at the delicious food, her small mouth could not help but twitch twice. She swallowed her saliva, then looked at Lin Xuanzi and at Yang Zhentian. She rubbed the corner of her small hands and moved her feet towards the table.

"Eat, eat …" When I'm full, grandpa will bring Nan Nan to look at my mother, ah … " Lin Xuanzi patted the little guy's back as he slowly brought him to the table.

When the little fellow heard the word 'female', its eyes immediately lit up. "Really?" He actually spoke in a low voice with a smile. Then, he lifted his foot and moved it to sit on the stool. He then tilted it to the side and sat upright. Then, he picked up the bowl with both hands and began to eat. From time to time, he would turn his head to glance at Lin Xuanzi. That attitude made everyone laugh out loud.

The little guy finished his meal in two bites. He immediately jumped down and threw himself at Lin Xuanzi's leg, shaking it.

"Then let's go …" "Let's go now …"

"Good …" "Alright..." Let's go, let's go … "Say goodbye to aunty and uncle …"

"Goodbye Uncle …" "Goodbye Aunt …" With a wave of his hand, he ran to the entrance of the hall.

At this moment, Lin Xuanzi had already stood up. Seeing Yang Chentian's sorrowful expression, Lady Ying turned her face away to wipe her tears. Lin Xuanzi sighed, "Sigh …" He would always face this day … "That's good too …" After which, he couldn't help but blush. Then, he cupped his fists together and said, "Sister-in-law, second brother will take his leave now, and come visit again in the future …"

Yang Chentian also clasped his fists and no longer said anything.

He saw Lin Xuanzi pulling Little Xiang Nan out of the door and disappearing outside in the blink of an eye. Lady Ying rushed to the door and shouted, "Nan Nan, remember to come often …" There was a gulp in the words. From far away, he heard the little guy's voice, "Good …" "..." "Mother and I will come together …" Mrs. Ying sobbed again.

After leaving town, he didn't use the carriage anymore. When he arrived at the end of the bamboo forest, he saw that Wu Yi Mountain was not far ahead.

"Nannan, come and grandpa will carry you …" Lin Xuanzi picked up Little Xiang Nan.

"Hold grandpa's neck tightly, grandpa will bring you to fly …"

"Heeheehee …" The little guy only thought that his grandfather was teasing him, so he did as he was told and hugged his grandfather's neck tightly.

However, before he could finish laughing, he suddenly felt a gust of wind from both sides. When he looked carefully, he was so frightened that the little guy squinted his eyes and cried out. When he looked down, he saw that he was walking on top of a tree with his grandfather.

"Ayaya …" Grandpa, you really know how to fly! Ah … Haha … "Aiya …" He wrapped his arms around his grandfather's neck and cried out all the way, not daring to open his eyes. Having grown up for so long, this was the first time he realized that his grandfather could actually fly!

In a moment, he felt like there was no wind. He opened his eyes. Ah, the father and son were already standing on top of a mountain peak. Below them, there were cliffs and cliffs; the bottom could not be seen!

Lin Xuanzi slowly put Little Xiang Nan down on the ground. Standing up, he saw that the familiar broken walls and ruins were still the same, but they looked even more desolate. In the blink of an eye, two tombs were neatly built under the broken wall. Each tombstone had been erected with the words "Big Brother, Big Sister-in-Law, Lin Fei's Children's Tomb" on it and "Knife, Gorin's Tomb" on the other. Lin Xuanzi could not help but shed hot tears!

At this moment, a light breeze blew. The setting sun illuminated the entire mountain range, casting long shadows of the old and the young onto the opposite cliff wall.

Gazing at the mountains, Lin Xuanzi's thoughts surged. He couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and let out a long whistle. However, he was so shocked that all the white egrets around him flew in unison, their melodies lingering …

Pausing for a moment. Lin Xuanzi bent down and once again picked up Little Xiang Nan.

"Nannan, hold tight … "We're going down!" Lin Xuanzi laughed, but there was a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Ah!" Ah? Flying again?! — — Don't — — "Little Xiangnan hadn't yet recovered from the wondrous feeling, but she heard her grandfather say that he was going to descend from this unfathomable cliff? This time, he really cried out in alarm. But before he could even utter the word "go", he felt his body slowly drop down as his heart was caught in his throat! His hands instinctively embraced his grandfather's neck, but he didn't dare open his eyes again!

With a light shout, Lin Xuanzi pushed off the ground with his right foot and flew forward eight feet, jumping straight down the 100,000 foot cliff! His feet moved back and forth in the air, as if he was treading on water. His movements were marvelous. At times, his right foot would bend like a chicken standing on its own, causing him to plummet to the ground like an arrow! Waiting until he was ten feet away, he saw his right foot lightly tap on the back of his left foot, then his left foot bent, and at the same time, he lightly patted the back of his right foot. Every time he moved, his body would spin 360 degrees. It went up one foot, but it quickly went down ten feet!

It was the domineering Damoth "One Reed Crossing the River" and Wudang "Tide Cloud Zong"!

This repeatedly caused Xiao Xiangnan's heart to feel anxious as well. She screamed in surprise for a while, then burst out laughing again.

The little guy had just experienced it once, so he wasn't that scared anymore. Although he was a little dizzy, he felt a strange feeling grow stronger and stronger in his heart. He had never experienced this feeling in his life, nor had he ever realized that his grandfather was this powerful! He was surprised but also excited! Gradually, the little fellow got used to this feeling and opened its eyes. The wind blew past his ears as he leaned on his grandfather's shoulder. He discovered that he was walking through the clouds! He could vaguely see that the cliff face across from him was quickly sliding downwards. Xiao Budian stealthily turned his head and looked around. When his vision widened, he suddenly felt that he was not in a hurry to descend. Looking at the surrounding cliffs, he felt that he was descending slowly!

Ah!" Ah! Too beautiful … "Ah!" You twirl around on your grandpa, crying out in joy. However, a pair of small hands reached out and grabbed in all directions, trying to pick up the surrounding mountain fog!

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, he was able to see the scenery clearly through the mist.

He saw mountains and rivers lined up, with clear springs interweaving, waterfall cascading down like chains, streams gurgling, mountains and rivers verdant, like a poem or a painting. He hadn't been able to take a good look at the scenery before he was already two zhang away from the ground! He then saw Lin Xuanzi holding Little Xiang Nan, not even touching the ground. He turned around, stepped on the tree slightly, and then quickly flew towards the east. Little Xiang Nan saw a three meter wide river extend towards her direction. This river is the Nine-Twisted Creek. The water was clear, the flowers and plants clustered along the shore, and the trees in the shade. It was not an exaggeration to say that "Crooked Mountain has returned to its former peak and is now surrounded by water".

In less than a minute, the two of them had already run six miles. Lin Xuanzi finally landed on a large rock, and he took the opportunity to lower Little Xiang Nan to the ground. However, his expression did not change, nor did he breathe! Although Little Xiang Nan had already descended, she still felt like she was in a dream.

"Nan Nan, we're here …" "I'll wait here for grandfather for a while longer, I'll be right back …" He turned around and then flew up to the right side of the cliff. He went up another fifty feet, but suddenly he was nowhere to be seen! Little Xiang Nan looked up and saw that there seemed to be a cave where her grandpa disappeared.

It was indeed a cave, and a very large one at that. It was the Peach Blossom Cave.

When Lin Xuanzi entered the cave, he saw that the scenery inside was the same as it was back in the day when he was cultivating. The scene from back then could not help but float into his mind. She remembered that ever since she was this age, she started to practice martial arts in this cave with her big brother. She would sleep in the cave until late at night and wake up naturally.

The cave was filled with dried food, clothing, and other items. The dry rations had already turned black.

Lin Xuanzi walked to a corner and opened a huge jar. Instantly, the aroma of alcohol filled the air. He saw Lin Xuanzi fill a jar full of wine and then pick up a pile of scented paper, which was left behind the last time. Then he turned around and darted down the hole.

Lin Xuanzi brought Little Xiangnan down from the rocks. He headed towards a nearby cliff. The land in front of him was wide and flat, with faint traces of trenches and trenches. However, the grass was now lush and verdant, as tall as a man. The father and son duo pushed their way through the grass and came to the foot of the cliff. Through the grass, they revealed two graves! The distance between them was about five feet. On the left, there was a stone tablet with the words "Tomb of the Green Edge Fortress" written densely on it. On the right, there was a stone tablet with the words "The Tomb of the Wonderful Children of Lin Fei, the Elder Brother and Sister" written on it. The two monolith inscriptions were actually large words written in blood. Although they were too long ago and the characters had already blackened and begun to fall off, they were still shocking. It was as if they were narrating a bloody past!

Lin Xuanzi used his hands to clear the weeds around and above the grave. Then, he lit a incense burner, filled a bowl with wine, sprinkled it on top of the largest grave, and bowed three times. Then he pulled Little Xiang Nan to a smaller grave and both of them kneeled down. Lin Xuanzi lit up the incense in the fire, but he could see that his eyes were filled with tears. His eyes were filled with desolation.

"Nan Nan …" Come on... I've come to meet you... Daddy … and... "Mother …" He couldn't say anything, and his hand that was holding Xiang Xiang was shaking non-stop.

Little Xiang Nan saw that her grandfather was crying and couldn't help but cry loudly! The little guy wasn't crying because he saw the grave, even if it was his parents who didn't have a single memory of him in the picture. It was because he had seen his grandfather cry. He had grown up with his grandfather and had never seen him so sad before.

"Nan - Nan -- Come and give..." Father and Mother … "Kowtow …" He then bowed down. Little Xiang Nan wiped away her tears and kowtowed like her grandfather. When he kowtowed, no grief could be seen written on his face. Even if today's day was filled with anticipation as he waited to see his mother, his grandfather had just outlined his mother's appearance many times. He only remembered one thought, clearly, that his mother must be very beautiful, very beautiful. However, when she saw that her mother was a pile of dirt, Little Xiang Nan didn't feel grief and anger like the other kids. He just did not understand why the world was so unfair to him. He clearly remembered that there were many orphans in the academy, but every time they chatted together, they would describe the appearance of their parents. He himself, on the other hand, didn't have a single mark, not even a single mark!

"You were originally surnamed Lin, and your name was Lin Hongxue. Your father was a great hero, and your name was Lin Fei'er. You had a very beautiful mother, and her name was Tong Miao … I am your first blood uncle, Lin Xuanzi. "That year, that gloomy and gloomy day …" As Lin Xuanzi burned incense, he recounted a bloody history to Little Red Snow. The light from the fire was dim and the night breeze blew, causing the mountain to seem as though it was crying in the night …

Little Red Snow knelt there, not moving for a long time, as if she was carefully listening to her grandfather's narration. However, there was no expression on his face.

Indeed, only Lin Xuanzi could understand Little Red Snow's inner world. He knew that tonight, Little Red Snow had grown up. Her soul had grown up. And everything will inevitably be etched in Little Red Snow's heart deep chrome, accompanied by his life in the future!

Little Red Snow used a small branch to scratch the incense, and the fire immediately soared high. As the light from the fire faded, a strange look flashed across Little Red Snow's eyes.

"Grandfather …" I want to fly... You can... Teach me to fly? "

The cold little red snow suddenly said. However, he didn't turn back.

Lin Xuanzi looked at Little Red Snow and could not help but let out a long sigh.

At this moment, the night wind blew.
