Chapter 131 Qingquan’s Choice
The girl was teaching her children, so Qingquan simply found a small bench and sat in a corner of the classroom to listen to the class together.
There are not many teachers in each village, and they have their own things to do when they are not in class, so the girl did not find anyone else to teach her.
By the time class was over, it was sunset.
The girl did not leave Qingquan to live in her own home. Before the marriage, a woman was not allowed to invite a man to do this. It was against the rules.
"You should go home quickly..." The girl said goodbye to Qingquan with a guilty look on her face.
Qingquan is not an ordinary person, and returning to Sanxi Village is just a matter of a few breaths.
After a month of such awkwardness, the two finally made an appointment to meet.
During this month, Qingquan was fully prepared, browsing a large number of books on how to pursue women, and accumulating a lot of theoretical experience.
The first date was very successful, and the relationship between the two developed a lot.
When they were separated again, Qingquan also experienced what humans call the pain of lovesickness.
In this era where only letters can express emotions, everyone's love is sincere and simple.
As soon as Qingquan finished his work, he secretly went to Dajiang Village to peek at the girl. He didn't dare to show up every day for fear that the girl would think he had ulterior motives.
The girl also wanted to see Qingquan, but she had classes at sunrise and ended at sunset every day, so she had no time to go to Sanxi Village.
The two of them only have one day a month, so they don't have to be busy with other things and can stay together wholeheartedly.
…….
One year later.
The girl's parents took Qingquan seriously, and they were satisfied with the young man.
He urged the girl to get married to Qingquan, and Qingquan took the betrothal gift and went to propose marriage.
The girl agreed, and Qingquan was very happy.
He couldn't describe this kind of happiness, it was even happier than when he had made breakthroughs in cultivation.
"Ning Ruoxi, I'm getting married!" Qingquan excitedly shared the joy with Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi said lightly, "Congratulations."
Of course, Qingquan didn't expect anything special to come out of Ning Ruoxi's mouth.
The wedding was very grand, and there were no elders on Qingquan's side. Finally, Carpenter Li, who taught him his craft, was invited to act as his elder.
Looking at the packed guest seats, Ning Ruoxi used her telepathy to see clearly into everyone's heart.
No one present had any evil thoughts towards the newlyweds.
Lin Shuang couldn't help but sneered: "It's really ridiculous. They all say that Buddha cultivates the six roots to be pure."
"But when you walked out of the Liutong Buddha Hall, many Buddhist disciples were full of malice towards you. They obviously didn't know you, and they didn't have any interactions with you on weekdays."
"And here, Qingquan is not familiar with every villager, but the villagers here all expressed their blessings for their marriage."
"On the road to immortality, there is a lot more wind and sand than in the mortal world. The wind and sand are so blinding!"
After Qingquan and the girl got married, they moved to the girl's house. This was requested by the girl's parents. Anyway, Qingquan lived alone in Sanxi Village and was lonely on weekdays.
After moving to Dajiang Village, Qingquan and the girl can see each other every day, and their relationship has not weakened due to the increase in the number of meetings.
Another three years passed.
Qingquan's wife successfully gave birth to a son, and both his wife and son were healthy.
Qingquan cried. The young life in his arms inexplicably moved him to tears. He suddenly realized that his father loved and cared for him. He missed Qingyan.
"What do you think I should name my child?" Qingquan asked Ning Ruoxi in a low voice outside the house.
The girl was already asleep on the bed in the house. The girl's father was holding the child beside her, and the girl's mother was looking after the girl.
Ning Ruoxi thought for a while and said: "You are the father of the child, so you should take it yourself." "Well... let's call it Qingran!"
Ning Ruoxi didn't understand the meaning of the name, but she didn't say much.
"Let's not talk anymore, I'm going to accompany her!" Qingquan suddenly woke up, his wife still needed to be taken care of, so he quickly returned to the house.
The baby's cry is the proof of his arrival in this new world.
at night.
Qingquan found Ning Ruoxi with a wine bottle, and Ning Ruoxi lived in the house Qingquan had built before in Sanxi Village.
"Come, drink!"
"Don't you need to accompany your wife and children?" Ning Ruoxi asked Qingquan.
Qingquan took a sip of wine and said: "Of course they were asleep, so I came out to find you."
"Ning Ruoxi, I've thought about it. I want to stay here. When Yanran passes away, I will return to the East China Sea."
Yanran, Lin Yanran, is the name of Qingquan's wife.
Qingquan made the same choice as Qingyan. He wanted to stay with his wife until she died, instead of returning to the East China Sea with his children now.
"Aren't you afraid?" Ning Ruoxi asked slowly.
"What are you afraid of?" Qingquan asked, pretending not to understand.
Ning Ruoxi continued: "Looking at your wife getting older, will you still love her as much as you did when you were young?"
"Watching her die, can you do it without intervening?"
Ning Ruoxi actually knew what Qingquan was doing in private. Qingquan had secretly bought the Yunling Stone to test Lin Yanran's spiritual roots. Unfortunately, Lin Yanran had no spiritual roots and was destined to have no chance of cultivating immortality.
Doomed to face life, old age, illness and death.
Qingquan was silent, he couldn't face Ning Ruoxi's problem.
After a long time, he said: "Even if her appearance is no longer what it used to be, I will still love her as before."
"As for her lifespan, I will also find a way."
"But have you considered her feelings?" Ning Ruoxi asked on Lin Shuang's behalf.
"How does it feel?"
"Your appearance remains the same, but if her appearance gets older, she will feel that she is not worthy of you."
"I heard that you human alchemists have an elixir called the Yi Rong Dan. I can also grow old."
The Yi Yong Dan only changes the appearance visible to the naked eye, but the true appearance of the person who takes the elixir can still be seen with the use of spiritual consciousness.
"What about extending her life? Is living a lingering life what she wants?" After Ning Ruoxi's question, Qingquan remained silent for a long time.
His thoughts went back to a long time ago, when he watched his mother gradually lose her breath in front of him.
Qingquan asked Qingyan why he didn't save his mother.
Qing Yan's answer was, "In the mortal world, dying is a joy and mourning. Forcing your mother to continue her life is torture for her. It's time for the story of your mother and I to come to an end."
"We can't stay in the mortal kingdom forever, the Qingluan tribe still needs us to go back."
Qingquan thought about it for a whole night, and he figured it out.
He no longer thinks about extending Lin Yanran's life, but rather accompanies Lin Yanran through this life as a mortal.
"Ning Ruoxi, my work is done. You have been guarding me for so long. Go and do your own thing!" Qingquan thought that Ning Ruoxi stayed in Sanxi Village to protect him. The most important thing at the moment was The ring has passed, and Qingquan feels that Ning Ruoxi no longer needs to guard him.
In fact, this is not the case. Ning Ruoxi is comprehending the mortal world.
