immortal

My father was sitting on the couch with his legs closed, his eyes closed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.I came in and he didn't open his eyes.I knelt in front of him, not daring to breathe, silently watching the spirit beasts at Sijiao Township.After kneeling for half an incense stick, my father finally let out a sigh.

He said: "These years... I have thought that you are no longer alive."

I kowtowed, didn't get up, knelt down on the ground and said with a choked voice: "The child is not filial."

My father said: "When you left, there was no news. As a father, how can you not understand, but you can't say it in front of your mother... Now the lives of the entire family depend on you... "

"Father..." I called out to him, "There's no need to say anything."

My father sighed again, and said: "Now the emperor builds Mingtang, builds a high altar, listens to the words of the alchemists, and sends countless people up the mountain to the sea for longevity. You left according to the order, and now you have to enter the palace to repeat the order." ?”

I raised my head and said slowly: "Father believes that there is really a magic of immortality in this world."

My father stared at my face for a while, and finally shook his head slowly.

He said: "I don't believe it, but your current appearance... people say that it is bitter cold outside the Great Wall, why has your appearance not changed for ten years? But if it is true..." He couldn't continue.

Yes or no, it is a disaster for my Wu family.

I cleared my throat, and said: "About the art of longevity..." Before I finished speaking, the door behind me was pulled open, Zhang Qiling stepped in, walked around to the mat next to me, and knelt down .My father was also taken aback, and didn't respond for a while, only to hear him say: "There is no immortality in this world."

His face turned around, I understood the meaning in his eyes, nodded, and said to my father: "As my little brother said, there is no way to live forever in this world. What I have in me is the secret of the Western Regions." This technique can make people look young.”

My father looked straight over with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"I was ordered to search for the River of Eternal Life, but I didn't succeed. The sea of ​​sand is vast, and my followers are all dead. If I hadn't met my brother, I should have died in the desert."

This is also true, and I am not totally lying.

"My little brother is from Xiye Kingdom. My life was hanging by a thread at that time. He used the art of returning to heaven to make me what I am today."

"Xiye?" My father frowned and asked, "Where is it again?"

Before I could think it through, Zhang Qiling had already said, "I, Xiye, am in the hinterland of Tianshan Mountain, and I have never been known to the world." He kowtowed, "Xiye Kingdom has this heaven-defying technique. If it is leaked, it will be destroyed forever." There is no peaceful day, and I hope the old general will never bring up the matter of Xiye again."

Sure enough, my father fell into deep thought after hearing this, I turned my head and glanced at him, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly.I understood, and bowed deeply to my father again.

"This secret technique is a perverse method, and it must be offset by Yangshou, and..." I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and said, "I want to divorce my wife."

The surroundings fell into deathly silence. I knelt for a long time, and when I looked up, I saw my father's face was pale. He rested his forehead in one hand, and said to me weakly: "Go down first..."

When I said this, Mrs. Qin was kneeling behind my mother and serving vegetables for her.The silver chopsticks fell in response.After my mother came to her senses, she lifted the desks in front of her, and the bowl of soup on her desks spilled all over my front.

It seems that my mother was really angry, and poured the hot soup like this, completely ignoring that I was his parent and child.My pain is different from normal people, and I can hardly hold on to the pain.Mrs. Qin knelt down in front of me nervously, wiping the soup on my body with a silk cloth.She bit her lower lip tightly and said nothing.

I closed my eyes, not daring to look at her again.Qin's hand touched my face, she was so cold.A deep sadness welled up in my heart.

"Whatever you do, you have to divorce your wife...you..." Niang clutched her chest, pointing at me with a trembling hand, weeping uncontrollably. "For so many years, I only thought that you were no longer alive, and now I finally hope for your return, you..."

Qin turned her face away, as if she was also crying.

"Thanks to this child... your father and I, two old bones, did not die before you! You want to divorce your wife now, unless I die!"

"Mother..." Qin called out in a low voice with tears in her voice.

My father stood up and seemed to want to say something, but finally walked away.
