Chapter 1567 Death News (Thanks to the book friend 〖I am Liu Gaoxing〗 for the 50,000 starting coins reward)

Tang Ning returned to the cave, and when the light of escape faded, Zhuang Qing, who was waiting outside, greeted him: "Uncle Master, you are back. Master just arrived and is waiting for you in the house."

Hearing this, he quickened his pace and came to the main room. Liu Ruhan was waiting inside. Seeing him return, she stood up and greeted him.

"Ruru, you are here, what's wrong, what happened?" Tang Ning saw that she was a little upset, and sat down holding her hand and asked.

"Husband, Yuan Ya..." Liu Ruhan said softly.

Tang Ning's heart sank, and blurted out: "What happened to Yuan Ya?"

"She... passed away." Liu Ruhan took out a piece of paper: "This is the letter she wrote to you before she died."

Tang Ning's mind was blank for a moment, and he took the letter and unfolded it in a dull manner, but saw that the handwriting on it was beautiful, and it was Gu Yuanya's handwriting.

"Master, please come up. I, Gu Yuanya, bow my head and say goodbye."

"Master, when you receive this letter, I have already passed away. Master, you don't have to be sad for me. I have already foreseen this day."

"I am a mediocre person in the secular world. I met you in prison. It is a great fortune in my life. I am satisfied with what I have today. The only regret is that I can't repay you."

"I still remember that year, Master took me to Qianyi Sect, flying in the sky, wandering among the clouds, and I..."

……………

The letter filled three pages. Tang Ning looked at the lines of text, as if Gu Yuanya's voice, appearance and smile were all in front of him. In his mind, every bit of their past flashed by like a passing show.

When they first met in Gu's house, she looked shy and timid.

When she grew up, she was a nagging and heartless innocent girl.

From Qinghai to Taixuan Sect, she has always been by his side.

"Master, where are you taking me?" the little girl asked timidly.

"Master, why can't I hold these clouds?" The little girl's eyes widened with curiosity, and her fingers passed through the white clouds. It was the first time that he took her to fly high in the sky and shuttle through the sea of ​​clouds.

"Master, this is a rare thing. I saw it by a big river when I went out of the mountain gate last time. You can see that this shape has no traces of carving. It is smoother than jade. It is forged by the gods of heaven and earth. Master, you must keep it. If I die one day, you can bury it next to me. Otherwise, you can keep it, just think of me accompanying you." The youthful girl looked serious.

"I've thought about it. If I can't find the master, I will go back to Xingang and die alone there." After experiencing the Qinghai War, the girl was heartless and didn't care.

"I'm sorry, Master, your disciple has implicated you." Gu Yuanya, who was already middle-aged and was framed by Ding Jianyang, looked guilty.

"Master, you are finally back. I thought I would never see you again." The white-haired old woman had tears in her eyes.

The past scenes reappeared as if yesterday. Gu Yuanya's behavior and voice seemed to jump out of the paper, waving goodbye to him.

"Yuanya, go!" Tang Ning's eyes were filled with tears. His hands fell weakly, and the letter in his hand fell to the ground.

…………

The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and the cold moonlight penetrated into the room. Tang Ning stood in front of the window, looking at the full moon in the sky. In his hand, he stroked a black and smooth heart-shaped pebble like jade. There were two words engraved on it, one side was engraved with Ya, and the other side was engraved with Ning.

It was the gift that Gu Yuanya gave him that year. He has been carrying it with him all these years.

Touching the cold stone, thinking of the situation in those years, he was very sad.

Gu Yuanya was not a child in his heart, but better than a child.

He had been in the dead world for so many years, and the only thing he couldn't let go of was Liu Ruhan and Gu Yuanya.

He had thought that after returning to Qingzhou, he could reunite with his wife and master, but he never thought that Yuanya would be so old.

From the moment he saw her old appearance, he knew that Gu Yuanya didn't have much time left, and she would only live for more than a hundred years at most. He thought he could accompany her in her last days, but he didn't expect that she would be transferred to the mountain gate of Taixuan Sect and join the Xuanmen coalition.

Of course, he also thought about bringing Gu Yuanya back to the mountain gate, but he couldn't make a decision in the end. Even if he transferred her to the mountain gate of Taixuan Sect, he might have to go to that state to fight against the invasion of the demons one day. There was no point in tossing around.

Besides, Gu Yuanya already had a family, a husband and children. In her last days, she should be with her children and husband, not her master.

"Husband." Liu Ruhan walked over from behind, her palm resting on his back, and said softly: "Yuan Ya's body has been cremated, and the ashes are left with Pan'er."

Tang Ning held her palm, nodded, and said nothing, looking down at the heart-shaped goose soft stone in her hand with the words "Ya" and "Ning" engraved on it.

On the cold stone, it seemed as if Gu Yuan Ya's smiling face was vaguely seen waving at him.

………

The sun was shining, and the sky was cloudless. The Lei Zi ship was shining brightly, speeding through the thick clouds. Its arcs were shining around it, and the thick clouds were scattered wherever it passed.

In the distance, a majestic and vast city stood.

The Lei Zi ship lowered its altitude, slowed down, and slowly approached the huge city.

The warships patrolling around the city wall also slowly approached, and after several layers of inspection, the Lei Zi ship gradually approached the city wall under the guidance and protection of the patrol warships.

On the deck, everyone could already see from afar three large golden characters on the towering city walls: Hedong County.

At this time, a figure flashed and arrived on Lei Zi's ship in the blink of an eye. He was a thin middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples, wearing the uniform of the Liangzhou coalition army, and had the cultivation level of the middle stage of Mahayana.

"Fellow Daoist Ying, long time no see." The man bowed to Ying Yuan, who was in the lead.

"It's been many years since we last met. Fellow Daoist Ji is still as elegant as ever, but I am getting old." Ying Yuan bowed in return.

"Junior Brother Deng, you have worked hard." The man nodded to Deng Shiyuan again.

"Brother Ji, you don't have to be polite. This is our duty."

The man turned to Yi Wenpang and bowed, saying, "If my guess is correct, you should be Fellow Daoist Yi! Although we haven't met, I have long heard of your great name. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Thank you for waiting for me."

"This is my duty." The man surnamed Ji turned his eyes to Tang Ning again, his eyes were bright and shining, and he bowed, saying, "Then this must be Fellow Daoist Tang. I have long heard of your great name. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Tang Ning knew that the fact that he had advanced from the early stage of fusion to the Mahayana realm in a few hundred years had now spread throughout Tianyuan, so he was very concerned about his behavior. He was not surprised, but just responded calmly: "I have also heard of Fellow Daoist Ji's great name for a long time."

"Fellow Daoist's name has spread all over the world. I didn't believe it when I first heard it. Today, I met Fellow Daoist and I know that the rumors are true. Fellow Daoist Tang is indeed a child of destiny. He is indeed extraordinary."

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you are too kind. I am ashamed to accept it."

"Your army has traveled thousands of miles to support our war. On behalf of all the people in the Liangzhou coalition, I would like to express my sincere welcome and gratitude."

While the few people were chatting politely, the Leizi ship had slowly sailed into the city and landed in a spacious valley. The man led a few people to rest in the lodging.

The next day, Tang Ning and others were invited to the meeting hall of Hedong County. A middle-aged man with a square face sat on the main seat. His brows were furrowed with wrinkles, and he looked bitter and resentful. He was Sun Jingyuan, the master of Qingxuan Hall of Daode Sect.

On the left and right sides sat six men and women, all of whom were Mahayana-level cultivators.

Four people came in from outside, and Ying Yuan bowed to the man in the main seat and said: "Fellow Daoist Sun, all members of our tribe have arrived in Hedong County. I wonder what the next arrangement is?"

"Fellow Daoists, please take your seats first."

Several people sat down as told.

"Let me introduce you first. This is Junior Brother Ji Yao of our sect. You have met him yesterday." Sun Jingyuan pointed to the left and introduced them one by one: "This is Fellow Daoist Wang Ping of Tianxing Sect, and this is Fellow Daoist Tian Yu of Tian Family."

Then he pointed to the right: "This is Fellow Daoist Feng Rong of Yuefeng Sect, this is Junior Brother Yang Hong of our sect, and this is Fellow Daoist Lu Lingyuan of Lu Family."

Among the six people, two are disciples of Daode Sect, two are from Liangzhou native families, and two are from Liangzhou native Xuanmen sects.

Among them, Ji Yao, the first on the left, and Feng Rong, the first on the right, are both mid-stage Mahayana cultivators, and the others are all early-stage Mahayana cultivators.

Of course, there are more than these people in the Liangzhou coalition army. Some of the others are distributed in Henan County, and some are at the forefront.

This place is relatively far from the rear, and is the headquarters of the Liangzhou coalition.

"These are members of the Xuanmen coalition, and they are here to support the Liangzhou war." Sun Jingyuan did not stop, and continued to introduce the four people: "This is Daoist Fellow Ying Yuan from Shangqing Sect, this is Daoist Fellow Yi Wenpang from Yuxu Sect, this is Junior Brother Deng Shiyuan from our sect, and this is Daoist Fellow Tang Ning from Taixuan Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the other people in the hall were all focused on Tang Ning.

"You are Daoist Fellow Tang from Taixuan Sect. I heard that Daoist Fellow has only practiced for three thousand years, and it took only six hundred years to break through from the initial stage of fusion to the Mahayana stage. Is this true?" Feng Rong asked directly.

For some reason, perhaps due to the difference in the internal structure of the body, the proportion of women with spiritual roots in the world is far lower than that of men. Correspondingly, the number of female cultivators is much less than that of male cultivators, and the number of female cultivators among the top cultivators is even fewer. It is rare to see a female cultivator among ten Mahayana cultivators.

Feng Rong was the most powerful female cultivator he had ever seen. Her temples were white, and she looked to be in her 50s or 60s. Her face was slightly wrinkled, but her eyes were very sparkling, and she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young.

"I was just lucky." Tang Ning replied indifferently. He was helpless. Since he had broken through to the Mahayana stage and returned, he had to be asked about this topic whenever he met someone. He had heard similar words countless times, and he had to repeat them every time.

Sometimes he really wanted to say "It's none of your business". Of course, this was just a thought, and he couldn't really do it.

If the identities were reversed, if he had worked hard to practice for a lifetime and walked on thin ice, and had gone through a lot of hardships to break through to the Mahayana stage, but met someone who had easily reached the Mahayana stage from the fusion stage in a few hundred years, he would probably be curious and ask the other person about the reason. This is human nature.

"It is said that you obtained an ancient relic treasure in a secret space, which led to your rapid improvement in cultivation?"

"That's right. There are a lot of soul-replenishing pills there. After I swallowed them, my cultivation level increased dramatically."

"Even if there are a lot of soul-replenishing pills, it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation level by relying solely on soul-replenishing pills. It is incredible that you can break through from the fusion realm to the Mahayana realm in such a short time."

Tang Ning did not want to dwell on this matter, and did not respond with a blank expression.

Seeing that he was not interested in a deep conversation, the others did not continue to ask.
