Chapter 504
________
Chu Xiu was gray-haired, hunched over, and on crutches, so old that he could no longer walk.
Many of the servants who followed him were old and dead.
No one who died of old age was rewarded with money by him and repatriated to his hometown for old age.
He guarded the hospital alone.
The sunrise works, the sunset rests, one person and one lone lamp, one tea and one bamboo chair.
The annual Lantern Festival has arrived.
He sat in front of the door, the blood-red sunset tilted to the west, pulling his figure long, long.
He held a bamboo fence, squinted, and carefully weaved the lantern.
Soon, the skeleton of the lantern was compiled.
Take out the white paper, paste the lantern, then pick up the brush, dip a little ink, and draw flowers, birds, fish and bamboo.
When the ink was dry, he lit the lantern and hung it in front of the door.
Looking at the lantern, the old face showed a smile from the heart, and a pair of cloudy old eyes, a wisp of divine brilliance flowed.
“This is life, this is the Tao.”
He shook his head, closed the door and went to rest.
The next day, early in the morning.
A luxury convoy, slowly coming.
Stop in front of the infirmary.
The most luxurious carriage in the middle of the convoy, the curtain open.
An old woman with gray hair and gorgeous and rich clothes was helped out of the car.
Turning her head to look at the familiar houses, wooden bridges, streams, and bamboo forests around, the old woman had tears in her eyes.
She trembled as she walked towards the infirmary.
Knock lightly on the door.
Knock knock – After a while, the door opened, and an old, wrinkled, age-spotted face came into view
,
faintly, and she could see a familiar outline from this face.
Two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks, and the old woman said in a trembling voice: “Teacher, I’m back!”
Chu Xiu showed a kind smile on his face, just like back then, “Come back, come in!” The
old woman nodded and followed Chu Xiu into the house.
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, the old woman’s heart was complicated.
“Teacher, not long after I got married, I followed my husband’s family to Xianyang, the capital of China, and I never came back to see you, and I was really uncomfortable!”
Chu Xiu waved his hand and led her to the wooden table and sat down.
When he got a glass of water, he said, “What is there to look at my old bones, as long as you have a good life.” The
old woman held the steaming water cup and looked at the old man in front of her with tears in her eyes.
“Teacher, have you been alone all these years?” Chu
Xiu nodded and smiled, “Alone, I’m used to it, how are you?” ”
Well—” the old woman nodded, “a life of glory and wealth, and a full house of children and grandchildren.” The
two chatted idly, pulling the parents short, without the slightest barrier, just like back then.
The sun star tilts to the west.
Dusk hour.
The old woman was about to leave, and before leaving, she invited Chu Xiu to go to the county to retire.
Chu Xiu declined.
Watch the convoy move away.
He returned to his life alone.
Spring turned to autumn, and three years later one morning.
A speeding carriage broke the tranquility.
“Old man, is the old man there?” ”
The motorists jumped out of the carriage and galloped into the hospital.
“What’s wrong?” An
old voice came from the side.
When the young man turned his head sideways, he saw an old man with a medicine basket on his back, a face full of ravines, coming from the river.
He hurriedly stepped forward, with a crying voice, and said anxiously: “Old man, I am Qin Miao’s third grandson, my grandmother is dying, and I want to see you for the last time before I die.” Chu
Xiu’s cloudy old eyes rippled with waves.
Nodded, did not say much, the medical hall that has not closed for decades closed for the first time today.
The young man helped him into the carriage.
With a low sigh, “Drive—”
The carriage sped away.
Dusk hour.
The carriage arrived at the county seat, a luxury estate.
Knowing that Chu Xiu was coming, the owner of the manor personally came out to greet him.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with an elegant temperament and a noble attitude.
His name was Yang Chong, Qin Miao’s eldest son, who held an important position in the state capital Xianyang.
Even if decades have passed, Chu Xiu, the great name of Prime Minister Zuo Cheng, is still famous in Xianyang, a household name, and his mother is a student of this, so their family can have a smooth road on the official road.
“Old man…
..,” Yang Chong bent down respectfully and personally helped Chu Xiu into the inner hall of the manor.

Walk through cloisters, rockeries, and babbling water.
Came to Qin Miao’s small courtyard.
Chu Xiu saw Qin Miao again.
She was lying on the bed, her breath was dying, her eyebrows were full of life, and her life was not long.
Chu Xiu sat beside her, held her dry hand, and was silent.
Qin Miao opened her eyes, looked at him, and squeezed a smile on her face, “I wanted to give the teacher the end of my life, but in the end, I had to trouble you.” The
Yang family and family were all gathered around, and when they saw this scene, many people secretly wiped their tears.
“I’m used to it alone, wherever I go, I bury it!” Chu Xiu smiled lovingly, and the wrinkles on his face trembled.
Qin Miao also showed a smile on his face, and a line of tears crossed his cheek, “Teacher, I have a shock in my heart.” ”
You said-” Chu Xiu patted her dry hand.
“Miao Miao also wants to eat chicken leg rice made by the teacher himself.” Qin Miao said faintly.
Chu Xiu’s cloudy old eyes flashed with sadness, and he nodded, “Okay, the teacher will do it for you.” ”
Well, trouble teacher!
Qin Miao slowly closed his eyes, smiled, and the last trace of life was cut off.
“Niang-”
Yang Chong threw himself to the side of the bed and cried.
For a while in the room, there was a lot of crying.
Chu Xiu stood up and gave up the space to the descendants of the Yang family.
Came to the courtyard alone and looked up at the starry sky.
After a long silence, he summoned the Yang family’s subordinates, set up a boiler in the yard, and began to stew chicken.
Sitting in front of the fire, little by little with firewood, cloudy old eyes, printed with firelight, muttered in his mouth, “Mortals live for a lifetime, the long is a hundred years, the short is decades.” Along the way, there are both carefree childhood and passionate youth, from busy middle age to leisurely and quiet twilight, and finally returned to a handful of loess. ”
Right at this moment.
Booming————
above Hongfeng County, there was a loud noise.
Someone exclaimed.
“Demon race, demon race invasion…..”Above
the sky, black pressure pressed a group of demon races with different appearances, under the leadership of a great holy tiger demon, covering the sky and rushing into Hongfeng County, the number was at least more than a thousand, and they were angry.
“Kill
, kill, kill—”: “Brothers, blood sacrifice to the whole city, refine blood pills-”
The demon clans laughed maniacally.
There were screams in the city.
In the Yang family manor, fear is spreading.
Yang Chong ran to Chu Xiu’s side and said anxiously: “Don’t stew chicken first, the demon clan is coming, you quickly follow me to the underground safe house to hide.” Chu
Xiu didn’t seem to see the heavens, and the demon race that was overwhelming the sky did not hurry to add a stick of firewood to the fire.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be stewed right away!” ”
Oh, when is it, you still stew chicken~” Yang Chong sweated, his face full of anxiety.
Chu Xiu opened the lid of the pot, picked up a pair of chopsticks, poked it, and the chicken stewed in the pot was soft and fragrant.
“Well, okay-”
The corners of his mouth turned up, picked up the bowl, filled the grainy rice, unscrewed a chicken leg, put it on the white rice, and scooped some chicken broth into the rice.
Standing up, he handed the bowl to Yang Chong, “Send it to your mother’s spirit.”
Yang Chong took it, “Old man, we…”
He didn’t finish speaking.
Then he opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock….
The other Yang family members also looked at Chu Xiu in shock.
I saw that his originally squat back became straight at some point.
With his back to everyone, he volleyed with his hands.
“This-”
The Yang family was stunned.
“Could it be that this old man is a great cultivator?” Chu
Xiu walked to the sky step by step and came to the group of demons.
The Great Saint Tiger Demon at the head looked at him viciously, “Old fellow, who are you!!” Chu
Xiu’s pair of cloudy old eyes became as deep as an abyss at this time, scanned the surroundings, and opened his mouth to spit out: “Broken-”
The sound was like thunder, shaking the nine heavens and ten lands, and the demon clan that invaded the county town of Hongfeng froze in unison.
In the next instant, one by one, it turned into nothingness.
The tiger demon at the head stared at Chu Xiu in horror, and said in a trembling voice: “Holy King, you are a holy king, how is it possible…” As
soon as the words fell, his body turned into nothingness like other demon races.
The mortals of Red Maple City, seeing this scene, looked at the sky blankly, crawled on the ground one after another, and called immortals in their mouths.
The Yang family, who knew Chu Xiu, looked at the old man in the sky in disbelief as if they had been struck by lightning.
Yang Chong looked down, the steaming chicken leg rice in his hand, his lips trembled, “Mother, what kind of existence do you worship as a teacher.” ”
wiped out all the demon races, Chu Xiu stood in the nine heavens, bathed in starlight, and slowly closed his eyes.
A kind of enlightenment rushed to the heart, and the last bit of edge on the Dao heart was erased, and finally became round and natural.
“The worldly cultivators have sought the Tao all their lives, but they do not know that the Tao has always been at the feet of all living beings.”
“Hey, after nearly a hundred years of asking for the Tao, I finally understood.”
“When a monk enters the way, he enters the mortal first.”
“If you refine your heart like this, you can also become one.”
“It’s been a long time since the ball generates electricity for love, and the family sends one… It’s free, don’t be in vain!”
