He remembered that Hongliu lived on the west side of the village, very close to Da Niu’s home, but when he arrived on the western side, he noticed that Da Niu’s house was empty, without a trace of anyone or anything.
Before he even landed, he heard the sound of an argument coming from within the picket fence.
“Who are you, daring to touch my wife!”
“I just wanted to talk to Hongliu!”
Hovering above the fenced vegetable garden, Han Ye saw a burly man fiercely protecting a young woman cradling a child in her arms. The man was cursing and glaring at Wang Da Niu.
Wang Da Niu looked desolate, as if he was somewhat melancholic.
“You can talk, but why did you have to touch!”
“I understand, my apologies.”
Facing the demon cultivator, Wang Da Niu, who slaughtered men as if cutting vegetables, looked as innocent as a child before ordinary people.
“Da Niu, why did you come here again? Haven’t I said we should not meet again?”
Hongliu, while not particularly striking, had a gentle and honest face. Watching Wang Da Niu, she too had red eyes.
It seemed she didn’t want to face him.
“I just wanted to say goodbye formally and also to share some good news with you.”
Wang Da Niu wiped tears from the corner of his eyes.
“Get lost!”
The man was very impatient. Disinterested in watching this guy tease his wife, he began to wave his hand to shoo Wang Da Niu away.
But he was stopped by a figure from the sky who descended in a blink of an eye.
Descending with his sword, Han Ye gave him a chilling look, full of warning.
“An immortal!”
The man was startled, plopping down onto the ground as he watched Han Ye descend from the sky, his face filled with panic.
Recognizing Han Ye, Hongliu looked at Wang Da Niu, wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, and said:
“Da Niu, as I said, we’re from different worlds. You go your way, I live my life, there’s no need to meet again.”
Han Ye noticed a hint of scholarly temperament in Hongliu’s expression – she was a lady who had read some books. Her tone was resolute, and she appeared clear in her thoughts.
“I understand…”
Heartbroken, Wang Da Niu bid farewell to Hongliu. After glancing at the child in her arms, he gave a sigh and left the garden.
As he and Han Ye left, they walked quietly. Wang Da Niu quickly wiped his tears, struggling to say:
“Brother Han, my mother still died from the illness, the medicine didn’t save her…”
“My father went to the Capital City with the landlord, we don’t know how things are there yet…”
“And now Hongliu also…”
In the end, Wang Da Niu couldn’t hold in anymore and started sobbing like a child.
Upon hearing these words, Han Ye felt a pang in his heart, and consoled, “Da Niu, you should understand that in this world, who can’t live without whom? Just because you like someone, it doesn’t mean they have to like you. It’s a blessing to be able to meet and reuniting is the best. You are luckier than many, there’s no need for such deep attachments. When entering the sect, the elders said that the journey to immortality is a road of no return, destined for solitude and irreversible.”
He was, indeed, correct.
The path to immortality is vast and long, if one can’t even accept these things, then what is the point in seeking the Way of Longevity.
The big mountain in the west of Langlang Village.
The Feng Shui was very good here, and many villagers would be buried here after their deaths.
Han Ye leaned against a large tree, silently watching Da Niu mourning in front of a grave.
Upon reaching the grave, Wang Da Niu knelt down obediently. His eyes still carried the marks of his tears as he spoke with a naive smile:
“Mother, I have joined the Dragon Sparrow Sect and have reached the River Realm in Qi Cultivation. Soon, I can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. As I heard, Foundation Establishment is a real cultivator, just one step away from the immortals you often mention.”
“Look, this is the Fireball Technique, which can create fire from nothing. With this, my father won’t have to chop firewood in the mountains anymore.”
“My father went to the Capital City, I do not know when I will see him…”
“This is the Abstinence Pill, with it, you can go three days and three nights without eating.”
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring it back for you.”
“I made many good brothers in the sect who take good care of me. You don’t have to worry about me being cheated by anyone.”
In the dense forest, it was quiet all around with the gravestone standing silently in peace.
After half an hour, Wang Da Niu finally lit the last incense stick and said:
“Mother, I will surely become the ‘remarkable’ person you spoke of, and do my best in everything!”
Han Ye stood behind Da Niu, patting his shoulder, saying:
“Rest assured, Da Niu, as long as I, Han Ye, am here, one day, we will stand at the pinnacle of the cultivators’ world.”
After a long while, the two left the place, leaving behind only the burnt-out candles.
