Chapter 670
"Gulp, gulp."
In the Hall of Worshipping Immortals, Lu Ran picked up the Little Chifeng Pattern Gourd and tilted his head to take a big drink.
In front of him were a group of believers kneeling piously toward the Fairy Sheep Stone Sculpture.
The God Sculptures and Evil Sculptures bound by everyone present were different, but they had a common identity—Fairy Sheep believers!
They could all bleat, and they were equipped with the incomparably powerful Divine Technique Fairy Hoof, which could shuttle at extreme speed and recklessly cut into and out of the battlefield.
"Gulp, gulp." Lu Ran continued to tilt his head and drink divine power.
The soldiers who newly joined the Lu Gate were mostly Lu Ran's peers, and their strength was generally lower than that of the Lu Gate soldiers within the Mountain Realm.
But these people had the Fairy Sheep Divine Technique, so they had a huge advantage!
Perhaps because of the big gulping, Lu Ran's heart was surging; regarding entering the mountain again, his heart was no longer resistant, and there was more anticipation.
Conquer that mountain!
Ascend that sea of clouds!
Go see the true appearance of this world.
Trample some demons, mince some gods...
"Mm." Lu Ran wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and reached the Little Chifeng Pattern Gourd forward.
Along with everyone, carrying large and small bags, they were all sucked into the treasure gourd.
A moment later, the Hall of Worshipping Immortals was empty, with only Lu Ran left.
"Lord Fairy Sheep." Lu Ran carried the gourd behind his waist and pressed his palms together, "The disciple is ready."
This time, the Fairy Sheep no longer consumed origin energy to create a magnificent God Ruin.
Lu Ran already knew that shattering the God Ruin gate seemed like a cruel challenge, but it was actually a huge benefit.
【Walk your own path.】 In the low voice, there was a hint of exhortation.
"Yes!" Lu Ran bowed and saluted.
White mist rose in the Hall of Worshipping Immortals, and where the mist was thickest, the light of the mist cluster became increasingly blinding.
"Hoo~" A gust of wind blew, and the tree branches swayed and rustled.
Lu Ran slowly raised his head.
In front was a cliff; looking far, there were endless rolling mountains.
He recognized this place.
A year and a half ago, after he killed his way into the God Ruin gate, he fell here and rolled on the ground repeatedly.
At that time, Deng Yuxiang ran to his side with concern and carefully helped him up.
The two looked at the setting sun like blood together, secretly lost in thought.
"Back to the starting point, your youthful face in my memory..." Lu Ran looked at the distant mountains, murmuring the ballad from the human world.
Passing through the human world this time, he not only ate lamb skewers but also listened to many new and old songs and ate a lot of spiritual food.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound suddenly came, as if the whole world was about to collapse.
Lu Ran's face immediately turned ugly.
He hurriedly lowered the grade of the Evil Technique Evil Knowledge and raised his head to look at the churning sea of clouds in the sky.
A bunch of bastards!
Just let you jump around for a few more days.
Lu Ran quickly scanned the surroundings, then summoned the teleportation mirror, and in one step, he was at the Sea of Clouds Cliff.
"Gate Master!" Leng Xuanshuang, who was trimming the hedge fence, turned her eyes and asked subconsciously.
And when she saw that Lu Ran was wearing a loose white T-shirt, denim shorts, and white sneakers, she couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.
A thick youthful aura rushed toward her.
Mixed with the terrifying pressure exclusive to Sea Realm powerhouses, it was extremely contradictory.
"Gate... Gate Master." Liuhuo came upon hearing the news and also stuttered.
In the human world, the most ordinary clothing is difficult to see on Holy Spirit Mountain.
Lu Ran was like a modern youth who had mistakenly entered an ancient feudal land, spanning thousands of years of time, seeing two ancient and charming maids.
"Is everything at home okay?" Lu Ran asked.
"Everything is well."
"Martial Heavenly Emperor has not contacted the cliff; presumably, everything is going smoothly." The two responded in turn.
Lu Ran nodded, his gaze falling on Leng Xuanshuang again, observing carefully for a moment: "You seem a bit different?"
Leng Xuanshuang knelt and lowered her head: "Reporting to the Gate Master, the subordinate advanced to the peak of the River Estuary Realm five days ago."
"Congratulations." Lu Ran smiled and recalled, "The last time you advanced, it seems to have been in early April?"
Leng Xuanshuang felt valued, and a hint of warmth rose in her heart, but her voice was as cold as ever, and she remained expressionless: "Yes, Gate Master."
Now it is early August, and the cultivation speed can be considered standard.
Lu Ran took out the treasure gourd and looked at the other guard: "So, you are almost there too, right?"
Liuhuo felt bitter in her heart and whispered: "The subordinate advanced to the fourth stage of the River Estuary Realm in late May."
"Oh, then you push yourself a bit more." Lu Ran raised his hand, and the Little Chifeng Pattern Gourd hung in the air, spitting out packages and figures one by one.
The first to come out was Qiao Yuanxi.
Before she could even look around, she saw two beautiful young ladies.
Especially the cold and beautiful woman in the white dress, which made Qiao Yuanxi's little mouth open into an 'o' shape: "Wow!"
Some people, you really don't need to see the full picture to realize something is wrong!
Because there are always some people who seem to not be on the same layer as all living beings...
Qiao Yuanxi didn't believe in evil and squatted down, tilting her head and looking at Leng Xuanshuang, who was kneeling and lowering her head.
Wow!
In this world, is there really a woman who can rival Sister Ruyi?
Leng Xuanshuang was a bit confused.
She didn't know who the girl squatting in front of her was, but in short, she was quite presumptuous.
Figures appeared one after another, and the small courtyard of the Sea of Clouds Residence seemed a bit crowded.
"Xuanshuang, Liuhuo." Jiang Ruyi's voice came, "Take these few bags into the house; the gray ones are for you two."
"Yes, Madam."
"Thank you, Madam." The two responded immediately and left with the packages.
"Yuanxi, Tian Tian, go with them and familiarize yourselves with the environment." As soon as Jiang Ruyi appeared, she entered the role of the mistress and arranged for everyone.
Evil Shadow Protector and the two shadow guards were arranged to go back and rest.
The young couple Deng and Bai, with their child, were arranged to stay in Nightmare Residence, waiting for Lu Ran to come and sign the contract.
As for the remaining Niu Zhengzheng, Lu Ran directly opened a teleportation mirror, leading straight to the seclusion room inside the mountain.
"You are not allowed to drink from the spout! Just put the gourd on the ground; it is very experienced and has helped many people. When you need to break through, just tell it." Lu Ran said with a smile and handed the gourd over.
"Eh! Thank you, Gate Master!" Niu Zhengzheng nodded repeatedly, held the treasure gourd, and walked into the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
In just a minute or two, the small courtyard was empty again.
Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran: "Go visit Senior Lu."
Visiting the first time after returning to the cliff naturally shows great sincerity.
"I'll trouble you with the house!" Lu Ran took his fiancée's hand and gently imprinted a kiss on the back of her fair hand.
Jiang Ruyi showed a shallow smile: "Go quickly."
Lu Ran's figure flashed, and when he appeared again, he was already in the dense forest in the northeast of the cliff, standing in front of a private courtyard.
At this time, two old men in gray and white robes were playing chess in front of a stone table.
"Gate Master?" Lu Yuan was startled at first, then slowly stood up.
That pair of turbid eyes stared fixedly at Lu Ran's face, fearing to see expressions of shame, regret, and so on.
"Gate Master." Bai Yan also stood up and, according to the guidance of the Divine Soldier Sword, greeted in Lu Ran's direction.
"Elder Bai, I will have a chat with Elder Lu." Lu Ran walked into the courtyard.
"Yes, the subordinate will take his leave." Bai Yan didn't say a word and left with his sword.
"Hoo~"
The sea breeze blew, ruffling Lu Ran's short hair and also ruffling the heart of the white-haired old man.
Lu Ran didn't sell the punchline and opened with four words:
"They are doing well."
Lu Yuan stood quietly, one old palm pressed on the stone table, the bulging veins on the back of his hand indicating that the old man's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
"Healthy and living a prosperous life." Lu Ran came to the table and handed over a photograph.
Lu Yuan's fingers trembled slightly as he carefully took the photo.
In the photo, a slightly thin old grandmother sat on the sofa, her silver-white hair pinned behind her head, and several deep wrinkles spread from the corners of her eyes, yet she looked exceptionally gentle.
Thinking about it, it must be because she had experienced too much wind and frost that time had carved these deep traces.
There was another middle-aged woman wearing a light yellow cardigan, quiet and beautiful.
She stood beside the sofa, and the sunlight spilled onto her through the window, making her smile even more gentle and moving.
Lu Yuan's figure suddenly swayed.
In a trance, he seemed to see two wives.
One was the wife when they parted more than thirty years ago, and one was the white-haired wife today, more than thirty years later.
"Grandma Wen is a Colored Jade believer; her body is very healthy, and her spirit is very good..."
"Your daughter Lu Yancun is a Heavenly Luan believer; she is now a soldier stationed in the Demon Cave and is an excellent military doctor..."
Lu Ran sat opposite the stone table, whispering softly.
"She..." Lu Yuan suddenly spoke, his voice trembling, "What is her name?"
"Lu Yancun, 'Yan' as in inkstone, 'Cun' as in remain."
Lu Ran looked at the old man, only to see two lines of clear tears streaming down.
An old man over seventy, a powerhouse with vast divine might, a first-generation believer who opened heaven and earth, a human fighter who shed blood.
Each identity seemed incompatible with the word "tears."
However, when the three words "Lu Yancun" came out...
Lu Yuan completely collapsed.
Lu Ran now knew the meaning of the two characters "Yancun"; it was asked when Shadow Two was chatting with Grandma Wen.
Senior Lu Yuan liked playing chess and also liked calligraphy.
Yancun,
was the inkstone that remained at home, unfinished, after he suddenly left.
Lu Ran also knew eight words, which Grandma Wen said with a smile regarding the origin of her daughter's name:
"Seeing the object and thinking of the person, the pen and ink are still warm."
The former Lu-Wen couple argued endlessly about their daughter's name and couldn't decide for a long time.
Since Lu Yuan went missing, Wen Lanxin looked at the old objects left by her husband and reached a conclusion in her heart:
"Then let's call her Yancun."
Wen Lanxin, a typical oriental woman, everything was so subtle.
Whether it was sadness or longing, it was all melted into a name.
Melted into an ordinary old object.
It's just that Lu Ran didn't know if he should tell Senior Lu Yuan those eight words.
Afraid he would be sadder, miss her more, and collapse more.
Afraid Senior Lu would ignore the threat of the God Dust Shadow and insist on returning to the human world.
"Sigh." Lu Ran sighed deeply and looked at the lush mountain forest outside the hedge fence.
Watching the wind blow, the tree tops swaying gently.
Beginning of the month, asking for some monthly tickets.
