Lingwu world.


    Xiao Yao was counting the days with his fingers. In the blink of an eye, it was almost new year''s day.


    Four months is fleeting.


    He sat at the door, looking at the people coming and going in the village, sighed.


    In this village, there is no atmosphere to celebrate the new year. In fact, before the new year, every family was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. It''s just that since the appearance of beasts and practitioners, the new year is no longer a celebration for the people in Lijia village. On the contrary, everyone is afraid of this day from the bottom of their bones.


    They live in such an environment without depression, are very rare.


    That is to say, in recent years, almost no one has married. They feel that marriage has no meaning at all. They have children and no future generations.


    It''s a very terrible state.


    Er Gouzi sat beside Xiao Yao, holding his chin and looking at the pedestrians, just like Xiao Yao.


    "Er Gouzi, what day is tomorrow?" Xiao Yao asked.


    "New Year''s Eve." Said Er Gouzi.


    "It''s new year." Xiao Yao said with a smile.


    Er Gouzi gave a bitter smile and said, "people in our village don''t want to celebrate the new year."


    Xiao Yao nodded and said, "I know."


    Er Gouzi was silent for a while. He turned his face to look at Xiao Yao and said, "brother Xiao, what should we do?"


    During this period of time, Xiao Yao and ER Gouzi are completely familiar with each other, and their name has changed from the beginning of their father-in-law to brother Xiao. This is what Xiao Yao insists on. All day long, his brain is almost destroyed when he listens to his father-in-law.


    Xiao Yao looked at Er Gouzi, stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and then asked, "what answer do you want from me?"


    Er Gouzi didn''t speak,


    Xiao Yao continued: "if you ask me what plan I have now, I can tell you very responsibly now. I don''t know. I really don''t know what we should do next. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are unknown to me. I don''t know what the strength of that beast and cultivator is."


    Er Gouzi''s eyes were full of disappointment and depression.


    Xiao Yao laughed and patted Er Gouzi on the shoulder“ Don''t be too depressed. "


    Er Gouzi said helplessly, "I''m just not optimistic."


    Xiao Yao thought about it and said to ER Gouzi, "you really have nothing to worry about. I''m not afraid. If this time, practitioners and beasts still come, their first goal should be me. They must want to kill me. After all, my existence is a hidden danger to them. But can you see the fear from my face? "


    Er Gouzi shook his head.


    After a while, he stood up and looked at Xiao Yao and asked, "brother Xiao, can I ask you a question?"


    After Xiao Yao nodded, er Gouzi continued to ask, "are you really not afraid at all?"


    This question seems to have reached a crucial point.


    Xiao Yao''s face changed a little, then he found a small bench and sat down.


    He sighed, looked into the distance and said, "if I say I''m not afraid at all, I must be lying to you."


    "Are you afraid, too?" Er Gouzi was a little surprised.


    As Xiao Yao said before, he can''t even see the slightest fear on Xiao Yao''s face, so now Xiao Yao says that he is afraid, and ER Gouzi is hard to understand.


    Is it really because Xiao Yao can hide his emotions so well?


    When Er Gouzi thought about this, Xiao Yao had already opened his mouth.


    "In fact, what I''m afraid of is not death." Xiao Yao said, "I''m just afraid. Will I really not be able to go back? If I really can''t go back, what will my relatives do? They will be very sad. They will be very sad. I''m afraid to see them sad. Fortunately, I can''t see them any more... "


    For the first time, ergouzi saw Xiao Yao so lost.


    For ER Gouzi, Xiao Yao stayed here for four months.


    But actually, it''s more than that.


    Xiao Yao''s time difference in the ring is beyond their imagination.


    For such a long time, Xiao Yao did not miss his relatives, lovers and friends for a minute.


    He was originally a person who attached great importance to friendship.


    Thinking that he may never go back, his relatives love people, and he will never see himself again, Xiao Yao''s heart is as painful as a needle.


    "Brother Shaw, do you really want to go back?" Two dogs son don''t understand to ask a way.


    Xiao Yao glanced at Er Gouzi and said, "isn''t that nonsense? How can I not want to go back? "


    "But isn''t the world good?" Er Gouzi said, "you told me before that it''s very good to practice in this world. If you want to practice hard in the world before you, it''s just as hard as the sky. You see, after only four months of understanding the world, you have entered the middle stage of Linghe realm. According to this trend, maybe in a year or two, you can enter Lingjiang realm, Then there is the realm of Linghai. Although I''m not a cultivator, I know that brother Xiao, your talent is really good. "


    Xiao Yao smiles and doesn''t speak.


    Er Gouzi continued: "if, I mean if, if you continue to stay in this world, maybe it won''t be long before you can go straight to the top. Isn''t that what you want to see?"


    Xiao Yao said with a smile: "in fact, you are right. Compared with the world before me, cultivation in this world is much better. But, er Gouzi, do you think, do you really think, in this world, the most important thing is cultivation?"


    "For you, isn''t it?" "Two dogs asked.


    "Of course not." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I have never thought that cultivation is the most important thing in the world. The reason why I work so hard is to better protect the people around me. If I can''t see the people around me, even if I really get to the top, what will happen? Even if it really makes me God, so what? I can''t find the people I want to protect, even if I really pursue the supreme way, so what? "


    Er Gouzi was a little surprised. He didn''t expect Xiao Yao, as a practitioner, to say such a thing.


    Although he was not a cultivator, he believed that no other cultivator would have such an idea.


    Xiao Yao raised his head, looked at the sky, lowered his head, looked at Er Gouzi, and said, "in fact, the real Tao is not in the sky, but here."


    Then he pointed to his heart.


    "Heart?" "Two dogs asked.


    Xiao Yao said: "if a person has no worries about the person in his heart, even if he is immortal, what will happen? Many people are afraid of death, because they feel that if they die, they will not know what the sun will be like tomorrow, and they will have to say goodbye to their relatives and friends forever. If the relatives and friends are gone, the sun will rise tomorrow. What''s the matter if it doesn''t rise? What about living all the time? It''s boring. It''s boring! "


    Er Gouzi burst out laughing.


    "Brother Xiao, you are so good!"


    "What''s the big deal?"


    "In a few words, you can summarize the meaning of life. Although I''m still young, I know what you said is right, but many people don''t understand this. They still have to follow the crowd and pursue the supreme way. They don''t know that they have abandoned the most precious one." Then the two dogs laughed again.


    Xiao Yao looked at the appearance of the two dogs, and couldn''t help scolding: "two fools."


    Er Gouzi laughed more happily.


    "Brother Xiao, what if you can''t go back?" After laughing for a while, er Gouzi suddenly asked.


    He is still worried about Xiao Yao.


    "I''m sure I can go back." Xiao Yao said.


    "But..."


    "Nothing but." Xiao Yao said, "my relatives are still waiting for me. If I don''t go back, they will wait all the time, maybe for a year, maybe for ten years, maybe for a lifetime. If I won''t go for a lifetime, they will really wait for a lifetime, so if I really can''t go back, I will find a way, even if I have to find a lifetime."


    Er Gouzi is ignorant.


    He couldn''t understand what Xiao Yao meant.


    But he can find that Xiao Yao is red in the eyes.


    The road of life is very long.


    Xiao Yao is right. If you go alone, it will be boring.


    After chatting with ER Gouzi for a while, the village head came.


    "My lord..."


    "I''ve told you many times, don''t call me your father. Why don''t you just listen?" Xiao Yao depressed said.


    The village head laughs: "isn''t it called habit?"


    Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and didn''t want to talk to him.


    "Duke, do you think we can make it this time?" Asked the village head anxiously.


    "I don''t know." Xiao Yao said, "in the past four months, as long as you see me, you will definitely ask this question. Every time I answer you like this, won''t you be annoyed?"


    "Don''t bother, don''t bother!" The village head showed his yellow teeth and said, "I''m not bothered at all. I''m waiting for an answer, even if I have to wait for a long time, even if I have to ask many times."


    Xiao Yao thinks that there are so many fools in the world.


    For Lijia village, the next minute, every second, is incomparably long.


    They all hope that they can meet the next year as soon as possible, but they know that these two days will be their nightmares.


    If Xiao Yao was willing to help because he couldn''t get out, now he is willing to help for the people in the village.


    He just hoped that Lijia village, a simple village, could exist all the time, and would not disappear because of a certain person, let alone a certain animal.


    "I don''t know if I have the ability or not, but I hope you live, really." That''s what Xiao Yao said to ER Gouzi and the village head.
