Chapter 473: Millennium, Transcendent, Three Corpses! Who Is Above the Peak?
The next day, Jinmen Gukou International Airport.
Zhang Fan booked a flight to Chang'an at nine in the morning. Xu Jiuzhi and Xu Jiuliu, the sister and brother, came to see him off.
"Brother Fan, you should have stayed for two more days," Xu Jiuliu said, feeling somewhat reluctant.
In just a few days, he had experienced the most significant changes and turning points of his life, from an unranked Xu family disciple to the future hope and lifeline of the Xu family. All of this was because of Zhang Fan's appearance.
"A good man has his ambitions in the four corners of the world; there is no need to act like a young child."
Zhang Fan took the luggage from Xu Jiuliu's hand and patted his shoulder.
"If there is fate, we will meet again. I hope that next time we meet, you will be able to stand on your own."
"I will," Xu Jiuliu nodded heavily.
From childhood to adulthood, besides Xu Jiuzhi, Zhang Fan was the only peer he truly admired.
"Travel safely."
Xu Jiuzhi looked at Zhang Fan without too many words; she had already said what needed to be said last night.
She looked at Zhang Fan, her beautiful eyes hiding openness and blessings.
"You too."
Zhang Fan nodded.
Xu Jiuzhi reached out her hand, and Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment before shaking it.
The two smiled at each other, and Zhang Fan picked up his luggage and turned to leave.
"Sister... Brother Fan is really gone."
Xu Jiuliu watched Zhang Fan's gradually disappearing figure, then turned to look at Xu Jiuzhi's gaze following him, and couldn't help but say: "You..."
"Little brother, you should be able to see that he is not a person from the same world as us."
As she spoke, Xu Jiuzhi slowly withdrew her gaze.
"His fate with my Xu family is very deep, but it is also limited."
Xu Jiuzhi was right.
Zhang Fan's relationship with the Xu family could not be called shallow.
His grandmother came from the Xu family, and this layer of blood and relationship was hard to sever.
Xu Xuanguan even had a sworn brotherhood with his grandfather, and in Huizhou, he had received Xu Xuanguan's care.
As for when he was in college, even the girlfriend he dated came from the Xu family.
Such fate could be called wonderful, as if destined by fate, impossible to avoid.
In these two days, Zhang Fan met many people.
He met Xu Changshou and told him to stay in Jinmen with peace of mind and help Xu Jiuzhi.
He also met Xu Zhixia. Discussing the past and looking at the present, their state of mind was already different. It could be considered a complete conclusion between them; from now on, there would be no intersection in life.
Just as Zhang Fan said, the trajectory of life rolls forward; she should look forward and move forward.
Besides that, he even met the brothers Xu Yinhe and Xu Yindeng. Their attitude of admitting mistakes was sincere, hoping that Zhang Fan would let bygones be bygones regarding the past grievances.
Regarding this, Zhang Fan naturally didn't care. To him, the small troubles of the Xu brothers couldn't be counted as grievances at all.
The last person Zhang Fan met in Jinmen was Xu Xuanguan.
Last night, this old man who had left the Xu family for sixty years finally returned to that old house, returned to the place where he grew up, and chatted for a long time with the brother he had been separated from for decades.
Whatever grievances, whatever love and hatred, whatever gaps... seemed to have vanished with the dust of time at that moment. All that remained was brotherly affection and the favor of time.
Finally, Xu Xuanguan chatted with Zhang Fan alone for a while.
Thus, just as Xu Jiuzhi said, Zhang Fan's fate with the Xu family was deep, but also limited.
He had temporarily drawn a period with the Xu family; perhaps for a long time, there would be no more intersections.
"Sister..."
Xu Jiuliu felt somewhat dazed. For some reason, his heart felt empty. Young as he was, for the first time in his life, he felt the impermanence of life and the timing of gathering and parting.
"Just as he said, we who seek the Dao need not act like young children."
Xu Jiuzhi let out a long breath.
At this moment, she felt as if she had put down a heavy burden, feeling incomparably relaxed instead.
A Daoist practitioner must have true feelings and true nature, and must forget feelings and forget nature. These two come from the same source and neither can be lacking.
Xu Jiuliu was stunned for a moment. He looked at his sister, whom he had lived with for nearly twenty years, and suddenly felt she was a bit strange.
He didn't know that at this very moment, Xu Jiuzhi could be considered to have cultivated a bit of the flavor of the Dao.
"Let's go back!"
Xu Jiuzhi turned around, hooked her arm around Xu Jiuliu's shoulder, supported him, and gradually disappeared into the flow of people.
Rumble...
The silver-white airplane streaked across the sky. Zhang Fan sat in the window seat, watching Jinmen gradually moving away.
This trip, his harvest was too great. The improvement of his realm and the three turns of the Inner Dan were secondary.
The most critical thing was that he refined the Water Mansion, which could be said to be one of the greatest legacies Zhang Tiansheng left him.
Hiding here, he was almost an invincible existence.
That Water Mansion was his final retreat and also his greatest trump card.
Besides that, Zhang Fan's greatest harvest was learning the clues to the Corpse-Slashing Sword.
As one of the Nine Treasures, this sword was very likely the key to breaking the Three-Corpse Gods.
Chu Chaoran, with the Pure Yang Limitless Realm, spent sixty years and still couldn't slash and extinguish the Three-Corpse Gods of the 【Three-Corpse Daoist】. Zhang Fan didn't believe that he had truly solved that thing on Mount Tongluo.
Just like what the Transcendent Zhenren said to him on Mount Zhenwu that day.
Even if you block the light, the shadow will only disappear temporarily. One day, it will appear again.
The Three-Corpse Gods are the immortal substances condensed by practicing the 【Three-Corpse Fate-Illumination】.
It's just that unlike the other seven methods, this kind of immortal substance is...
Alive!
"I hope this trip to Chang'an will yield some results," Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully.
When he fed the black iron piece with golden substance, the scenery he saw was indeed Mount Zhongnan.
Holding the most critical clue, the Corpse-Slashing Sword was destined to have a fate with him; everything had traces to follow.
"Three Corpses... Three Corpses..."
Zhang Fan looked out the window, muttering to himself, and suddenly remembered the conversation Xu Xuanguan had with him last night.
Aside from those pleasantries and the care and praise of an elder for a junior, there was a part that Zhang Fan cared about extremely.
"Have you entered the Water Mansion?" Xu Xuanguan's question echoed in Zhang Fan's mind.
"I won't ask about the rest; your grandfather had his own deep meaning in arranging it this way. I just want to know if he left you anything in the Water Mansion."
"What is the Second Great Uncle referring to?"
"I know your grandfather left behind many legacies, perhaps not just the Water Mansion, but there is one thing among them that is extremely important. If you see it, give it to me."
"Please clarify, Second Great Uncle."
"A pill..."
"Three-Corpse Yuan Dan!"
Xu Xuanguan's voice lingered in Zhang Fan's mind. He clearly remembered that when mentioning these four words, the essence that surged in Xu Xuanguan's deep eyes was like lightning in the dark night, reflecting Zhang Fan's mind, as if wanting to see through him.
"Second Great Uncle, my grandfather didn't leave any Three-Corpse Yuan Dan in the Water Mansion."
Zhang Fan's answer could be called sincere.
"Three-Corpse Yuan Dan... Could it be that the Three-Corpse Yuan Dan I accidentally ate when I was a child wasn't Mom's, but left by Grandfather?" Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully. ===== CHAPTER 474 =====
