Chapter 1936 Tao Te Ching
Chapter 1937 Tao Te Ching
"Master, let's go in."
Demu said, leading the way.
Xu Ri nodded and followed Demu inside. Although a billion years had passed, Xu Ri found that the entire mansion had hardly changed and was still in its original state.
"Demu, you are thoughtful."
Xu Ri felt ashamed. Compared with Demu, he was really incompetent as the heir of the family.
He had been busy practicing and fighting with all kinds of people for many years. He had forgotten what his original intention was and where his roots were.
"When the old master was dying, he hoped that the young master could rebuild the Yuanhe family. But later, the young master entered the Zushen Sect. The small Yuanhe family was no longer in the young master's eyes, so the matter was left unresolved. However, the young master can rebuild the Yuanhe family this time he comes back. I think this may be destined. Master, what do you think?" Demu thought about it. He still wanted to fulfill the old master's wish.
"Is everything really arranged by fate?" Xu Ri was silent. If he was the old him, who was only one step away from entering the realm of the universe god, how could he have established a small family? At that time, he wanted to become the heir of the ancestral god religion. But now that his cultivation has been abolished, he has returned to his former hometown. Everything seems to be destined.
"Maybe this disaster is destined for me." Xu Ri couldn't help thinking so.
"Master, you're back!" At this moment, a man with golden hair and a lion-like face rushed over excitedly, and then fell in front of Xu Ri, "Master, do you still remember me? I'm the Lion King!"
"Lion King?" Xu Ri was stunned, a little unbelievable, "Are you the lion beast that carried me everywhere to play when I was a child?"
Demu nodded: "It's the little lion. His name was given by the young master. When the family was destroyed, the lion king had not yet transformed. He was just a little lion. Others only regarded him as a pet, but he saved his life. Later, the young master killed his enemies, and the lion king came back. During the years when the young master was away, the entire family mansion was managed by the lion king."
Xuri lifted up the lion king and smiled: "I didn't expect that the little lion that carried me everywhere to play has now reached the great perfection god realm."
It takes a billion years to cultivate to the great perfection god realm, which is naturally not comparable to Xu Ri, but it is still fast compared to ordinary practitioners.
The lion king said awkwardly: "Actually, thanks to the help of Lord Demu,
He has secretly sent me a lot of cultivation resources over the years."
Xuri waved his hand: "You have done a good job in protecting the old house, and those are what you deserve."
Then the lion king led the way, and along the way, looking at everything in the old house, many things that had been forgotten came to Xuri's mind again.
This is his home, this is his home, and this will always be his home in the future.
A month later.
Xuri and Demu settled everything, and no one knew that the Yuanhe family, which was left with an empty mansion a billion years ago, welcomed back its master again.
Demu became the steward of the Yuanhe family, the lion king became the leader of the guards, and Xuri also changed from a young master to a master.
From now on, Xuri will represent the Yuanhe family every day.
"Master, where do you want to go today? I'll lead the way for you." The lion king said, opening the door of the Yuanhe family for Xuri.
"Just strolling around, I plan to recruit some family guards, and then buy some things to transform the family." Xu Ri thought about it, mainly because he also wanted to see what this big city where he lived in his childhood has become now.
The Lion King nodded, and then whispered: "I think the young master should buy some women, so that the Yuanhe family can expand."
Hearing this, Xu Ri rolled his eyes.
The Lion King said again: "Butler Demu has arranged a blind date for the master. If the daughters of many families in Yuanhe City knew that they could marry the young master, they would probably go crazy."
Xu Ri didn't say anything. He only had less than an era of life left, and his cultivation was abolished. How many people would like him.
"You take it for granted. Tell Butler Demu that the blind date is fine. Even if I die, there is a way to leave a legacy for the Yuanhe family, otherwise the Yuanhe family will be extinct." Xu Ri thought about it. He had his own way. After all, even if he left offspring, he didn't necessarily need a woman. Sometimes one person can do it.
The lion king was stunned and scratched his head, not understanding what it meant.
After the two left the mansion, Xu Ri glanced at the bookstore opposite the family mansion and was a little curious: "Xianyuan Bookstore, when was this store opened?"
Xu Ri was too sensitive to the word "Xian". His cultivation was abolished because of the Xian Academy.
The lion king thought for a long time and said: "I can't remember clearly, it should have been a while, maybe a million years ago."
A million years ago?
Xu Ri shook his head. If it was so long ago, he didn't even know there was a Xian Academy at that time.
After the two left, a man and a woman came out of Xianyuan Bookstore. They were Wang Xing and Leng Shuangning.
"Wife, I heard that there is a kind of fish called tomb fish in Yuanhe City, which tastes very delicious. It's a rare trip, let's go and try it."
"Tomb fish? It is said that this is a fish that feeds on dead air. It is really strange."
The two talked and headed towards the center of the city.
...
One month later
"Master, where are we going today?" The Lion King looked at Xuri and wanted to go out again, and wanted to lead the way.
"I'm not going anywhere today, so I plan to take a look around our mansion. This is also a place I often played in the past." Xu Ri said, heading straight towards Xianyuan Bookstore. Last time, he wanted to come and have a look. But he had something to do that day, so he bought some guards and servants back and was busy with these things, so he had some free time today.
"Oh, then I will accompany the young master." The Lion King said, following Xuri.
The two of them came to Xianyuan Bookstore. Looking at this quaint little shop, Xu Ri was a little curious.
He stood at the door and saw no one coming in or out. After thinking about it, he went in alone.
At this time, he saw a young man sitting at the bookcase, holding an unknown book in his hand. The young man watched him come in without raising his head. He just said casually: "Books are not for sale. Reading for an hour will make you immortal." currency."
"Boy, our master is here, what kind of attitude do you have? What good things can you get in this shabby bookstore? Why are you pretending to be noble?" The Lion King was a little annoyed and snorted.
The young man, also known as Wang Xing, looked up at the Lion King at this time and said: "Watch it if you like it, or get out if you don't."
With that said, Wang Xing waved his hand gently and a restriction appeared, and the Lion King was blocked outside.
The Lion King was furious and blasted towards the restriction, but nothing happened to the restriction this time. Instead, he sat down on the ground, his whole arm split.
Wang Xing ignored him and looked at Xu Ri: "Just read and don't make any noise."
Xu Ri's face was solemn, he nodded, looked at the Lion King outside and said: "You go back first, I will take a look."
The Lion King was stunned for a moment. He also knew that he had met a powerful person and could arrange a restriction to stop him. The young man might be a god king.
Xu Ri didn't say anything, but he also secretly wondered when such a powerful person came to Yuanhe City.
But this bookstore seems really not simple.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary bookstore, but from the inside, it looks like a whole world has been crammed into this bookstore.
I didn't understand who Wang Xing was, and Xu Ri didn't feel any danger, so I read the book with the idea of taking it as it comes.
He first picked up a book near the front, and the name on it made him dumbfounded.
"Tao Te Ching?"
Xu Ri is confused, what the hell is this.
But when he opened the first page and saw the content above, he was a little dumbfounded.
"Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; name can be named, but it is not named. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, named, the mother of all things..."
He didn't know what it meant when he read it, but he felt it was mysterious and unpredictable. He only read a few sentences in the entire Tao Te Ching, and he actually felt a little exhausted.
Just as he was about to continue reading, Xu Ri heard a voice: "It's time, the store is closed."
With that said, before Xu Ri could speak, he was invited out of the bookstore.
When the Lion King saw Xu Ri coming out, he was surprised and said: "Master, what's wrong with you? I just saw you inside like a demon, motionless..."
Xu Ri was silent for a while, and then said after a long time: "I'm fine, let's come back tomorrow."
…
Xu Ri arrived early the next day, and after he entered without saying a word, he found yesterday's Tao Te Ching and continued to read it.
On the third day, it was still the same.
On the fourth day, it was still the same.
On the fifth day, it was still the same.
…
Ten years later, Xu Ri is still reading the Tao Te Ching, and Xianyuan Bookstore is already a place he must go to every day.
A hundred years later, this is still the case.
Five hundred years later, this is still the case.
A thousand years later, Xu Ri finally picked up the second book.
At this time, a faint voice came: "You have read the Tao Te Ching for a whole thousand years. You are indeed not an ordinary person."
To be honest, from Wang Xing's current perspective, the Tao Te Ching is no longer a complicated thing.
But for Xu Ri, who had just come into contact with the immortal culture, it was different.
That was like opening a new door for Xuri.
"Boss, this is the third sentence you have said to me in a thousand years." Xu Ri smiled, "This store of yours is very interesting, and the books in it are also very interesting."
"Really." Wang Xing smiled, "Actually, it's even more interesting. For example, you must be very curious about who I am."
Xu Ri was startled and his face changed slightly.
He looked at Wang Xing and said solemnly: "No, I don't want to know who you are at all."
With that said, Xu Ri turned around and left without hesitation at all.
Wang Xing curled his lips and looked arrogant. Are all geniuses like this? His students are cuter.
