Chapter 168 Ascension and Departure
Chapter 168 Ascension and Departure
"Master, you're here!" Thirteen-year-old Qing Mulian saw Gu Can coming in with a lunch box. He immediately put down his pen and walked over quickly, taking the lunch box from Gu Can's hand.
"You are still so greedy. Why did you get punished this time?" Gu Can said helplessly.
"It's not even father yet, but he wants to take mother to Lianxia Mountain to live a carefree life and let me succeed to the throne in advance. I'm only a few years old. I was planning to go out and travel first. But right after I discussed with my junior uncle and decided to go out together, we were caught by father. Mother didn't help me either, and she punished me by making me copy books and not letting me eat." Qingmu Lian complained while stuffing snacks into his mouth.
"The throne is a hot potato. You two, father and son, seem to dislike it." Gu Can smiled helplessly. Throughout history, parents and brothers would turn against each other and fight to the death for the throne. But here, it's different. It seems like they are afraid that they won't be able to push it forward.
"What a pity, my younger sister doesn't want to succeed to the throne either, alas!" Qing Mu Lian felt extremely envious when he thought of his younger sister who could now travel around the world with the little nun.
"You are a prince, and this country is your responsibility. Don't always think about being lazy. But your father is really not a good person. If you want to govern this country, you should at least understand it. After eating, I will go talk to your father and take you on a tour." Gu Can said.
"Master-in-law is the best!" Qing Mulian heard this and jumped three feet high with joy. He didn't even stop to eat snacks. Fortunately, he still had to practice martial arts, otherwise he would be a fat man with a height of 1.6 meters and a weight of 160 pounds.
It is impossible that he is the young man he is now with bright eyes and a cheerful demeanor!
When Qingmu Junsu heard that Qingmu Lian was going to travel with Gu Can, he looked at his silly son with a hint of pity in his eyes. Whatever, it was the path he had chosen.
Qing Mulian was completely unaware of this and only felt that if he wanted to control his father, he would have to rely on his senior aunt. So, he happily prepared to follow her on her journey.
He had heard that the master had a magical carriage that took her all the way to the mountains and rivers, where she could eat well, sleep well, and have fun. In short, everything was great!
"Master, what is this?" Qing Mulian looked at the dilapidated ox cart with a pile of hay on it. He had so many gorgeous packages, but now only a rag bag was left, lying alone on it.
"Moo~~" The old cow swung its tail, took a few steps forward, and attacked him face to face. He almost missed him and fell on his butt in fright.
"Aren't you going to travel? This is your vehicle." Gu Can said as he sat on the cart, leaned on the haystack, covered his face with a straw hat, and left it alone.
"Ah?" Aoki Lian said, this is different from what we agreed!
"Why don't you drive the cart? It will get even hotter when the sun gets higher!" Gu Can said slowly. Qing Mulian could only move forward and sit down with a wronged look on his face. He really didn't know how to drive an ox cart.
No matter how crooked the ox cart was, Gu Can remained unmoved. Finally, he stopped an old driver who was also driving an ox cart. Qing Mulian hurried forward to ask for advice, and then he officially began his troubled, arduous and simple travel journey.
With Gu Can's company, Qing Mulian got a good understanding of the life of the lower-class people and also realized what it means that a penny can make a hero fall.
This journey lasted for three years, and Aoki Ren gradually grew from a naive boy to a calm and reliable boy.
When he returned to the palace, Aoki Lian's temperament changed drastically and he looked a lot darker.
"How is it? Is it fun to go out with your master?" Qingmu Junsu asked with a smile as he looked at Qingmu Lian, who had a calm temperament and dark complexion.
"It's fun, so fun. If I hadn't gone on this trip, I wouldn't have known that human hearts are a hundred times more complicated than what is written in books. Good people can do bad things, and bad people can do good things." Although Qing Mulian felt it was hard at first, after traveling for three years, he also understood that Gu Can was really teaching him well.
He is the only heir to the Aoki Kingdom. He cannot just sit high above, in the palace, unaware of the sufferings of the people. The throne does not only bring power and enjoyment, but more importantly, responsibility and commitment.
"It seems that your trip was not in vain. Go and meet your mother. The court will start tomorrow, so don't be lazy anymore." Qingmu Junsu waved his hand and let him go.
"Ah, I think I can travel for a few more years." Qing Mulian still felt that attending court was not as good as traveling!
"Hmph! You wish." Qingmu Junsu directly rejected it.
Aoki Lianye could only leave dejectedly.
Finally, when Aoki Ren was twenty years old, Aoki Junsu announced his abdication and Aoki Ren ascended the throne.
Gu Can once again came to the edge of the world. The gap in time and space was gone, leaving only the thick fog that made it impossible to see clearly. Gu Can knew that their mission was accomplished.
After Qing Mulian’s wedding, Gu Can, Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju ascended to heaven and left at the same time.
From then on, Qingmu Junsu and Helan Min settled in Lianxia Mountain. Shang Rong was absorbed in business, and whenever she resolved to cultivate, she was always distracted by the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. In the end, she didn't even reach the Foundation Establishment stage. But she had no regrets. There were only a few people in this world as capable as Master, Master's Wife, and Cancan. At least her business spanned the entire Qinglian Continent.
Yao Lichun established Huichun Valley, adopted many orphans, taught them medical skills, and saved lives. People said that there was a group of medical immortals living in Huichun Valley who could bring the dead back to life.
Helan Min also failed to cultivate the Great Dao. After living for three hundred years, he passed away peacefully in the arms of Qingmu Junsu.
When Qingmu Junsu was five hundred years old, he passed the tribulation and ascended to heaven. When Qingmu Junsu successfully passed the tribulation, the entire Qinglian Continent was shrouded in a thick fog.
It's like a huge cocoon.
After an unknown amount of time, a golden light shone upon it. The thick fog gradually dissipated. A brand new world was born. It became an elliptical sphere, no longer containing the unstable cracks in space and time.
People woke up naturally, as if nothing had happened, but on the other side of the sea, new land appeared. No one had set foot on it for the time being, but someone would eventually arrive and write a legend.
Qingmu Junsu was born in a farmer's family at the foot of Lianxia Mountain and was picked up by a Taoist priest in the nameless temple on Lianxia Mountain. He came with a mission, and now that his mission is completed, he is going to walk the path of cultivation again to pursue his own path.
"Heaven is still generous." Gu Can and his friends returned to the Crossing Department base.
"Well, it would be best if the upgrade could be successful. I didn't expect Jun Su's road to becoming an immortal would be so bumpy." Ji Xiaoju and the others also knew about the follow-up of Qingmu Jun Su.
"He was born for the sake of necessity. Now he can truly be himself. Isn't that great?" Gu Liang said.
"Moreover, he has such great merits, and his future path to becoming an immortal will be smooth sailing." Gu Can was not worried about Qingmu Junsu at all.
"I thought we would ascend to the fairyland, but we came back directly." This is what Gu Can is concerned about.
"If there is a destiny, I will go there again. If I don't go, it can only be said that the destiny has not arrived yet."
"I know that if you force things, they won't be beautiful." Gu Can is not the kind of person who likes to dwell on trivial matters.
"Shang Rong was full of confidence that she could be as powerful as you, but in the end she couldn't even build a foundation." Gu Liang was also deeply moved by Shang Rong's path of cultivation.
"She's a wild card. How could Heaven allow her to grow? The luck bestowed upon her by the great world has all been focused on her business."
"Then why did you ask us to take her in as your disciple?"
"After all, Mom is the real daughter. Karma must be resolved. In the original world line, we went back. Ji Anfei died of depression, and the entire Ji family was exiled. Of course, I didn't have a good end either."
"This time, we had no intersection."
"But we are here to break up her marriage. If she stays with Qingmu Junsu, the Qinglian Continent will return, and her luck will increase, making her cultivation more efficient."
"Then we have directly cut off her path."
"That's right. They originally owed us karma, but Ji Anfei and Shang Rong are not wicked people. They still have a lot of merit. That's why I asked her to become your disciple and guide her in cultivation. The future path she takes is her own choice."
"But you also said that God won't let her grow up." Ji Xiaoju poked Gu Can's forehead.
"With the two heavens pulling at each other, of course we have to try our best to avoid trouble. I even made Ji Anfei dream. She found out that our family had passed away and had been doing good deeds in our name all her life."
"She is a kind person."
"So I tortured myself to the point of being sick. On the one hand, I felt that I should let the Ji family know of our existence, but on the other hand, I was afraid that my life would change. I felt that I was a despicable person, and no matter how many good deeds I did, it would be hypocritical, and I wouldn't live a few years longer than in the original world line."
"This life was wrong, but they are all kind people, and they will definitely be happy in the next life. Everyone will return to their place." Ji Xiaoju said.
"In this new world, everything will have a new beginning."
This task was completed relatively easily, and they spent most of their time cultivating and calming themselves, so the three of them did not continue their retreat.
The country is changing with each passing day, and Gu Can and his friends once again embarked on a journey to see the changes in the country.
This is their favorite thing to do after completing each mission.
Now, they just need to submit the information, and the old professors can figure it out on their own. Well, they can't be considered old professors anymore, after all, everyone looks very young now. Life expectancy has also become longer.
They were already a group of extremely intelligent people, and now with cultivation, supernatural powers, and various medicines, their brain development has reached a new level. For them, even if the information is not easy to understand at a glance, it is not like elementary school students solving advanced math problems.
This time, the merits of 888 also allowed him to leave the Novice Village and go to guide new people, leaving her with a koi physique.
She can only say, she really likes it! She will pick up money when she goes out, and she will win the lottery when she buys lottery tickets. Even if her wishes don’t come true, she is still a lucky person!
